The Court Proceedings with Probate Real Estate
In case you are a house flipper, it is essential to comprehend the contrast amongst probate and non-probate resources. Probate is the procedure through which a court decides how to disseminate a property after the owner has passed on. A few resources are appropriated to beneficiaries by the court and a few resources sidestep the court procedure and go specifically to your recipients. The probate procedure incorporates documenting a will and designating an agent or manager, gathering resources, paying bills, recording charges, circulating property to beneficiaries, and recording a last record. This can be an expensive and tedious process, which is the reason a few people attempt to keep away from probate by having just non-probate resources.
Understanding the Court Proceedings with Probate Real Estate
Probate resources are any advantages that are claimed exclusively by the decedent. This can incorporate genuine property that is titled exclusively in the decedent's name or held as an occupant in like manner, individual property, for example, adornments, furniture, and cars, ledgers that are exclusively in the decedent's name, an interest for an organization, partnership, or restricted risk organization, and any extra security strategy or money market fund that rundowns either the decedent or the domain as the recipient. Non-probate resources can incorporate property that is held in joint tenure or as occupants by the aggregate, bank or investment funds held in joint tenure or with payable on death or exchange on death recipients, property held in a trust, life protection or investment funds that rundown somebody other than the decedent as the recipient, as well as retirement accounts. A will do not control the dissemination of non-probate property.
All in all, a probate deal can appear like a threatening process. It's positively not a straightforward procedure and one that can bring about thestrain on a family, however with information it can go a considerable measure less demanding. The land is sold in probate court when the proprietor of a property passes away. On the off chance that there is no selected beneficiary when the proprietor passes, the property is swung over to the courts and afterward designated to the nearest relative as the agent to offer the property. After each one of the means for theofferinghas been taken, the probate court will continue being a handler between recipients. Many house flippers are interested in buying probate property because they are often offered at a low price. In case you wish to be able to benefit from the buying and selling of probate real estate, make sure to buy at open closeout. Barters advantage vendors, not purchasers. Ranches and hard tooffer probate properties are habitually offered available to be purchased at open closeouts. Substantial offering frequently brings about deals costs at or above an honest esteem.
On the off chance that you need a deal, purchasing at a bartering is generally not savvy. In the event that you are keen on procuring a probate property deal, it pays to know that the dealer often does not make any guarantees or representations. The outcome is the dealer has no obligation to pay for any repairs because of imperfections. Since the domain dealer, for the most part, is not acquainted with the upsides and downsides of the property, the bequest is in no position to unveil problems. On the off chance that the purchaser needs to make the buy offer contingent on an expert property examination, a termite report, or home loan protection possibility, such conditions must be indicated in the buy offer. Usually, the purchaser has no plan of action for deformities. You'll work with the home agent or director. These people, as a rule, need to get the home sold as fast. In the event that you express an enthusiasm for a particular property possessed by the domain, odds are you can arrange to secure the property in the event that you receive an agreeable and adaptable mentality.
It doesn't hurt to ask is the state of mind that you need to purchase a home or other probate property. Even better, make your buy offer with a condition that the home beneficiaries cannot resist. Procure an operator with the CPRES confirmation, and the procedure will be far less demanding for you. To make things significantly less demanding to comprehend, here is a fundamental clarification of how the probate deal handle functions. Remember that a few states are much more straightforward, and some more confounded in their probate controls. On the off chance that somebody has been designated in a will by the decedent, and they will go about as the Executioner, then that individual is named all things considered. On the off chance that there is no designated Executioner, then the nearest relative will be delegated as an Administrator either by the court or different relatives. It is a general rule that the property must offer to no less than ninety percent of the evaluated esteem, so take that into account when you participate in the bidding process.
You can typically find the home available on probateon the different posting administration online as well as on the paper. A purchaser must make an offer joined by a ten percent store, which might be dismissed by the merchants. The offer is liable to the court's affirmation, and the vendor is not dedicated to that purchaser despite the fact that their offer was acknowledged. The domain delegate, through their probate lawyer, will then submit to the court to affirm the deal. On the off chance that all gatherings concur, then a future date is set for the deal to be finished in court. At the point when the property has an acknowledged offer, a Notice of Proposed Action is sent to all beneficiaries, just expressing the terms of the proposed deal. The beneficiaries have fifteen days to audit the notice and represent any complaints. On the off chance that there are no complaints, the deal may continue without a court hearing. In this way, in case you are interested in buying probate property, make sure to have a lawyer to handle the court matters for you.

By Alan Levin and Marilyn Adams, USA TODAY
This has been the USA's worst year on record for flight delays and airport gridlock, but there is some unexpected good news: Most of the nation's aviation system actually is performing relatively well and reducing delays.
The volume of late flights at the New York City area's major airports — John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty and Philadelphia, which shares New York's airspace — surged so much this year that it swamped the entire aviation system, federal data show. New York's mess triggered finger-pointing among airlines, the government and air-traffic controllers — and an unusual federal effort to force airlines to cut flights at JFK, where delays have grown the fastest.
The controversy has obscured a pleasant surprise for travelers: Improvements at airports elsewhere are reducing delays in many spots across the nation, according to a USA TODAY analysis of flight delay data and interviews with airline executives, aviation analysts and air-traffic officials. From January through August, the largest 31 airports outside the New York region had 8% fewer total delays than during the same period in 2006, according to Federal Aviation Administration data. Even Chicago's O'Hare and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson — the world's two busiest airports and big generators of delays that ripple through the U.S. aviation system — improved.
Meanwhile, delays at the four New York-area airports jumped nearly 23%, driving a 3.7% increase in total delays nationwide.
It's as if there now are two different aviation systems in the USA: In New York, there are too many scheduled flights and hemmed-in airports that can't expand. But at other major airports, new runways, incremental improvements in air-traffic procedures and airlines' moves to improve efficiency have begun to make a measurable difference for travelers.
For many air travelers, the key to a tolerable trip has become relatively simple: If possible, avoid flying through one of the New York-area airports, where two-hour delays aren't unusual.
"Everybody is talking about how bad it is," says Massachusetts Institute of Technology aeronautics professor John Hansman, who has spent years studying the air-traffic system. "But in reality, it is better than we would have expected."
The reductions in delays at many large airports indicate that moves by the FAA, airlines and the airports are making modest improvements to air travel, Hansman and other analysts say. For example, new runways have opened recently at five major airports: Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson, Boston Logan, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and Lambert-St. Louis.
Frequent flier Richard Libonate, head of sales for Detour energy bars, flies regularly from his Tampa home through Atlanta to New York. Atlanta used to be like New York, he says. "I was guaranteed I was going to be delayed on both ends" of a flight.
During the past year, however, he's seen a "marked improvement" in Atlanta. "When Atlanta opened that new runway" last year, he says, "it made a huge difference."
That's small consolation to fliers who get caught in New York's gridlock, sometimes because they live or travel there but sometimes even if they don't travel anywhere near New York City's skyscrapers. Flights held up in New York often are late the rest of the day as they fly from city to city.
Many fliers complain these days that they spend more time sitting on planes awaiting takeoff to or from New York than it takes to fly their trips. Security consultant Alan Brill of Staten Island, N.Y., arrived at Kennedy recently to fly to Atlanta and was thrilled to find that, for once, his plane was at the gate. The crew closed the doors and backed up the jet on time.
Then it sat for three hours.
"As we were turning onto the runway for takeoff, the captain told us he was sorry about the delay," he says. It could've been worse; there were 62 planes behind Brill's, waiting to take off.
New York's problems were so serious last summer that on Oct. 23 the government convened unusual meetings with airline executives in Washington to pressure them to cut flights at Kennedy during its busiest hours.
"President Bush has made it clear that the conditions travelers experienced this summer are unacceptable and must be fixed," Transportation Secretary Mary Peters told airline officials.
Major improvements that could bring relief to New York airports, such as untangling antiquated flight routes there, are taking years to make and face intense opposition from citizens groups wary of new flight routes over their homes.
Meanwhile, the FAA's "next generation" air-traffic control system — which will rely on satellites instead of ground radar — won't be ready until at least 2020.
Signs of improvement
Even as the New York-area airports drags down the aviation system, signs of improvement are popping up across the nation:
•In Atlanta, where a new runway opened late last year, delays plummeted by 40% during the first eight months of this year compared with the same period in 2006. Meanwhile, thanks to new technology on jets and special pilot training, Delta Air Lines, the dominant carrier at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson, has begun flying more direct routes into and out of Atlanta than were possible in the past. Together, the improvements have decreased Delta's delays three to five minutes per flight.
•At Boston Logan International Airport, the number of late flights also fell this year after a new runway opened. The new runway has allowed Logan to remain efficient in different weather conditions, helping the airport record 36% fewer delays this year than last.
•Chicago O'Hare saw delays skyrocket in 2004 as competition between American Airlines and United Airlines led to sharp increases in flights there. A cap imposed under pressure by FAA limited flights to 88 an hour and cut delays. A rerouting of flights in the Midwest last year helped reduce delays further. As part of an effort to make O'Hare's runways more efficient over the next decade, a new runway will open in 2008.
•Declines in traffic prompted by financial problems and strategic shifts in the airline industry have helped cut delays at several other airports. San Francisco International, which was one of the most delay-prone airports in 2000, has shed nearly two-thirds of its late flights after United Airlines cut flights. St. Louis and Washington Dulles also ran more smoothly than in 2000 as flights by American declined at St. Louis and numerous carriers reduced service at Dulles.
The FAA numbers are based on air-traffic logs of flights delayed by controllers. Because they do not include flights that were late because of previous delays during the day, they differ from on-time statistics compiled by federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
An aviation bottleneck
The reductions in delays at airports across the nation could be negated by steady growth in air travel, MIT's Hansman says.
"I think New York is a leading indicator of what the rest of the system will look like in the coming decades if we don't change the way we do business" by redesigning air routes, using new technology to accommodate increased flights and expanding airports, he says.
Thirty miles up the Hudson River from Manhattan, a narrow aviation bottleneck helps explain New York's problems and why it is so hard to make improvements.
Every jet departing the New York region to the north, many headed to Europe and New England, must fly over a narrow bottleneck known as the "Northgate." Depending on winds and other factors, jets bound for cities to the west often want the route as well.
But the Northgate, part of the region's out-of-date route structure, can handle only 70 to 80 flights an hour. If other flights traverse the same area, the numbers drop.
Frequently this year, the number of planes requesting travel through the Northgate exceeded its capacity, says Mike Sammartino, who directs traffic system operations at the FAA. When that happened, controllers halted northbound planes before takeoff, keeping them on the ground until space opened up, Sammartino says. The delays occurred frequently, even when the weather was perfect.
Just as when traffic on a crowded highway slows to a crawl after a few drivers tap the brake pedal, delaying a few flights headed out of New York triggers problems at all the region's airports.
"There is a domino effect down to the alleyways in the airports," Sammartino says.
There are dozens of similar chokepoints within the region, which stretches from eastern Pennsylvania to Long Island and north to southern Connecticut. Depending on weather and traffic, any of them can start a chain reaction of delays.
The FAA plans to boost the Northgate's capacity by adding more paths for planes heading north, but the plans could take years to impose. The FAA said Sept. 5 it will reroute aircraft in the New York area to cut delays. Many residents oppose the plan and local government officials have filed several lawsuits in an effort to block it.
Meanwhile, there has been considerable tension between the FAA and the union representing its air-traffic controllers since a labor contract that cut controllers' pay was imposed on them last year. The union says retirements of experienced controllers and understaffing are contributing to New York's delays, a claim the FAA disputes.
Agam Sinha, general manager of Mitre Corp.'s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development, which studies air-traffic issues for the FAA, says the region's woes are complicated by issues like this, which will take time to fix.
"It's a problem that doesn't really have any easy solutions," he says.
On Sept. 27, Peters and the White House stepped in and ordered airlines to discuss reducing their schedules at Kennedy, where the numbers of flights and delays have increased faster than at any other major U.S. airport.
The FAA says the airport has more flights than it can handle in the early morning and for much of the afternoon and evening.
Airlines lashed out at the FAA for not moving more quickly on its own efforts to staunch delays and laid blame in part on the increasing use of private jets, which fly the same routes as airline jets.
The National Business Aviation Association responded by accusing airlines of creating their own problems with bloated schedules and too many small regional jets that take up as much room as a large jet but carry far fewer people.
Airlines blast the government for trying to cut too many flights.
"We are disappointed the government is rushing to impose constraints and limit the airport before taking the steps necessary to bring the airport up to capacity," said Delta Air Lines Executive Vice President Glen Hauenstein.
Delta and its affiliates operate the most flights of any carrier at Kennedy after increasing operations 86% in the past three years, to 375 flights a day in August.
A close No. 2 is Kennedy-based JetBlue Airways, which expanded flights there 89% in three years, to 365 a day.
Connecting through other hubs
Oregon-based flier Ronald Olshausen has seen close-up the travails of the nation's air-traffic system this year.
Bad weather has twice stranded the management consultant for at least five hours on the tarmac at Kennedy. Olshausen, 43, says he's even more fed up by what he sees on his nearly weekly commute to New York: Flights there never seem to run on time anymore.
But like nearly all of the two dozen frequent fliers surveyed for this story, Olshausen says it's gotten easier to fly outside New York. He usually connects through other hub airports such as Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City or Cincinnati.
"Most of those hubs run pretty smoothly," he says. "New York airports are always bad, regardless of the weather."
What should the airlines be doing to reduce air delays? What are they doing right? Have you noticed improvement in on-time performance?

Heres what happened to me. I live in Maryland so i was about 200mi away from where it happened(if you dont know it happened in VA about 100mi from DC) My mom and my friend, Kelsey were in the tv room and me and my friend Olivia were in the kitchen(the rooms are sperated by a half wall) Olivia wanted mac n cheese so we were making it. I had turned of stove (good thing 2) and then my mom asked if anyone felt the house shaking. I was jokingly thinking to myself hahaha it must be an earthquake(normaly i would think a plane/big truck must b pasing by, but y i thought quake im not sure) Kelsey said she felt it but me and Olivia didn't feel it. Then we herd a crash and me and Olivia felt it. I saw the whole house shaking and my mom told us to get outside. We ran outside and the cars were shaking up and down. We yelled at my brother and his friends to get outside(they were in the garage) We were shaking for a few more seconds and then we were talking with ppl. When we went back inside we found out that a football and a picture of Cal Ripkin fell over and a china cup broke(thats no big deal we have a lot of them). Also the quake opened the pantry door and the drawer w/ sliver where in it. We found out later that it was 5.9 and there was an aftershock of 2.8 that we didn't feal. Let me know what happened to you:)

So, without dwelling upon the weight loss, I thought I'd mention that I did something a little strange tonight. I went out and got myself some new undies. :
Not that getting undies when you need them should be strange... but it is a little strange for me to go out and get something I NEED when I don't feel like I have the money available already.
And I mean.... undies that don't fall right off your hips is sort of a need. But not such a need that I couldn't survive without them.
Now, while I was there fulfilling my NEED for new undies, I saw some pretty earrings. I'd been thinking about some earrings that dangle (cause those are what I like, big, gaudy dangly things!).
I bought those, too. Unheard of! I definitely don't NEED earrings, but I bought them because I LIKED them!
im not doing very well tonight.
i guess i manifested lonliness.
bf hasnt called all day, and usually does. we had plans but he told me last night he needs space. i kind of didnt realize that meant he wasnt going to even call me today.
i feel really crappy right now. ds is at his dads. trying to clean and purge, but just keep feeling sad and cant keep a lid on it.
the new thread is up for Sunday morning!

I love twilight Fanfiction! I have so much respect for all the writers of it. I am not gifted that way but I enjoy reading it a whole lot.However I am really good with graphic art and it is what I do for a living when I am not searching for new fics to read. I am a 24 year old that is obsessed with the series but find myself loving fanfiction almost as much if not more depending on the stores. I have read upwards of 800 stories and I average about 4 stories a week.
I love twilight fanfiction stories so much and anyone that checks out my profile that is an author I am so jealous of your talent, and if there is anything graphically that you might be looking for like banners for your stories PM me, I would love to show my gratitude.
I love all kinds of stories and I do not judge on anything, as long as the writing is good I read them. The only stories that I have not really gotten into are Jacob/Bella but all the other are fair game and I am always looking for recommendations.
Favorite Pairings (in no order)
I am sure that I am forgetting some, like I said I do not discriminate on who I read about.
If anyone has any rec's for me I would love to hear about them especially if they are over 90,000 words because I love a nice long story to get into and I read really fast.

Many people have leases coming to termination this time of year. I have heard from many of my listeners recently wanting advice on what to get for their next vehicle. Several times lately, when I ask them what they plan to do with their current vehicle, the reply was something to the effect of "just turning it in and walking away." None of them had done any homework to see if they actually had equity.
In fact, for years, people who leased over and over just turned their leased vehicles in without even checking the value. Everybody in the industry knew there was no need; the actual value was ALWAYS less than the residual value with rare exception. But all that has changed now and I am seeing more and more people who have money left over and don't realize it.
Two factors have contributed to lease-end equity over the past several years.
First, vehicles coming off lease today had realistic residual values when the lease was started. For years, many manufacturers inflated residual values to make payments lower, but that came back to bite them and they stopped this practice. Secondly, the sky-high used car values I have been telling you about are aiding in helping people pocket cash at the end of their lease.
Looking to the future, I see the used car shortage and high values to continue for at least another year or longer. If new vehicles sales start to decrease, used car prices usually rise. After all, lower new vehicle sales mean fewer trade-ins in the future. This creates a shortage of used cars and makes values remain at peaks.
One thing is for sure, lease companies today want you to turn in your vehicle at the end of your lease.
There is nothing they would love more than to take it to auction and pocket your equity. This is a reversal of epic proportion. Not too long ago, they were enticing you to purchase your lease car with low-interest rates and other offers. At that time, they did not want your lease car back, knowing they had a deep loss coming, but that is no longer the case. Even those who own SUVs today and want to trade early, consistently have equity, especially those with smaller to midsized SUVs.
In addition to looking closely at your current lease if you are in one, bear in mind that if there is equity, that money is yours. You can even take it in cash to help with some other bills you might have, or use it toward your next lease or purchase.
I would tell you, too, that if you are in the market, and are not a high mileage driver, you should look hard at leasing in this climate. After hitting a six-year low in 2009, leasing has gained momentum each year since then. Right now, leasing stands at around 35% of the new vehicles sold in 2016.
Just about all the automakers have lease specials right now that are intended to lower lease payments.
Even the domestic car companies are getting into it. These incentives will give you a lower lease payment or allow you to get a nicer car than previously thought. Plus, you only pay for the best part of the vehicle; its first three years and you avoid a lot of the maintenance costs you have to absorb when you buy.
With the exception of people who drive more than 15,000 miles per year, or close to it, I think smart money today is on leasing.
If you have not checked out the other articles on leasing, look under FAQ at www.carprousa.com.

Is there an app or software that can ensure my network is configured properly? I have a few concerns.
1. All users on the network can view other PC files.
2. Should all PC's in the building be on the network or just the PC's that will share files
3. The PC's that are accessing the same database programs (i.e. Quickbooks) opens very slow
This topic was created during version 5.3.

Basic network fundamental knowledge is probably better. If you are using peer-to-peer, the problem is that security, even in a workgroup is handled PC by PC. Workgroup just allows everyone to get along. There are tools that will let you see what how shares are configured on each PC, but the networking knowledge is what you will need to determine what is best for you.
Can you share a little more of how your environment is configured, but slowness can mean so many things.
May 25, 2012 at 11:21 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
2. Unless you are producing nothing but printed files, what function would PCs have in a business if they were not on the network? What job role is being done at those PCs that doesn't require network access?
May 28, 2012 at 8:20 UTC
Church environment and the workstations are for the ministry leaders... The leaders use the pc to email the congregation, other staff, research on the Internet , strong use of Microsoft word, excel, adobe PDF, Internet to maintain our phone tree system and google calendar on te website. As the executive director I would like to see all workstation users on Microsoft exchange or imap email so we can share contacts and a viewing church calendar, network printers, request forms, etc
May 29, 2012 at 7:04 UTC
What is PC count? How many are we talking about?
Jun 4, 2012 at 9:19 UTC
20 PC's
ALL PC's share three network printers
The internet
Shared Documents - standard requistion forms
5 PC's share our membership database
4 PC's share our Quickbooks database
Jun 4, 2012 at 9:47 UTC
At that size, you might want to ditch the peer-to-peer model. Small server that would give you central control of security, files, and the databases. Nothing super expensive. Even a NAS with security might work.
On the slowness issue with the database, that could be network-related or just plain normal depending on the PC hosting. If the database is on a PC that is being used as a workstation, you may see delays, especially if it is also being used as a print host.
If you have seen, check out www.techsoup.com for non-profits. Software is very inexpensive.

Since we all know the history of The Order, let's try to find out as much as possible about The Brethren.
The town of Silent Hill was found by the Brethren. The Brethren built most of the notable buildings in Silent Hill (including the school) and actively participated in witch-hunting. Also The Brethren often cites The Bible, including The Old Testament (All foes of the righteous will be condemned). All this may suggest that The Brethren was originally a form of Christian Puritanism.
Since time passed, destructive tendencies began to emerge within The Brethren. First of all, I can suggest that The Brethren had adopted some antitrinitarian ideas. As we can see in the school, The Brethren appear to worship some female deity. But they do not refer to it as goddess (like Claudia Wolf). It may suggest that The Brethren think of their god to be a some kind of inanimorphous being, that can take any form he like.
Arrogance. It had been the most notable thing in The Brethren. Members of The Brethren seem to think of themselves as of sinless people, unlike normal Christians, who know that no mortal is sinless. Even a few seconds before her death, Christabella do not repent, as any normal Christian would do - instead she asks for the strenght to «stay pure».
We fight the sin, not the sinners. It seems, that Christabella forgot about what a sin is. According to Christian teachings a sin is an action, that brings harm to a person, and violates the moral rule. Instead, Christabella thinks, that a sin is a person named Alessa. Of course she had forgotten, that Alessa is innocent, and Dahlia is the one, who had commited a sin and has to repent. Instead of that, Christabella just tries to get rid of Alessa as some material evidence of Dahlia's sin.
The church. As many other prominent buildings in Silent Hill, it may also had been built by The Brethen, but the church was most likely built before The Brethren had broke with Christianity. Also a conflict between the legitimate Christianity and The Brethren might had taken place some time before Alessa's burning for the ownership of the church. Of course no normal Christian priest would not serve in a church with a painting of a witch being burned alive instead of an iconostasis.
The Brethren may had been a cult, that was originally a Puritanical Christian organisation, but later had debased Christian ideas and turned into a destructive cult, with nearly no surviving elements of Christian teachings. Sister Margaret gets upset, while The Brethren is mentioned, and it is not only because The Brethren had burned Alessa, but it also may suggest that there was a serious conflict between The Brethren and legitimate Christianity.

I M Addicted to Bass
Personal Stories, Advice, and Support 8 People
Phisically Into BassI love music. And when music uses bass, i'm extatic. I use to modify songs by setting bass louder than normal, heh. If i feel upset, tired, in a bad mood or simply not content.... music will recharge me. And Bass vibes that shakes my lungs is the best way.

Rooms clean and comfortable, value for money and dinner and breakfast were very good Location of hotel in an industrial area not very attractive
It was central to a lot of tourist spots, quiet and clean. As well the food was good It would have been good to have safe deposit facilities: when we dropped our computer at the desk, no record of room number was taken so we felt a little uncomfortable leaving it there
I had a room at the rear of the hotel which overlooked woodland which had an amazing number of birds present. Restaurant service was slow.
Very friendly staff, very welcoming. Nice beds. Well supported restaurant. Looked like mouse dirt in the space between the double panes of glass in bedroom window. Absolutely no food avail between mealtimes. We were on walking holiday and other places could manage to give us bread and sometimes cheese in late afternoon when we arrived very hungry but this was not possible here. We had to leave before official breakfast time and not even coffee was available. A bit of a walk into town.
The quality of food in the restaurant was excellent and the rooms were clean and tidy though a little small. We were using the Nogaro race track and the location for that was very convenient.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The parking was private and secure. The room was spacious. Noise from a room above kept waking me up in the early hours. As I appeared to be the only guest I concluded it must have been the owners living quarters.
Lovely room overlooking the garden with lots of space. The owner was charming and humoured me by allowing me to speak only in French. Excellent breakfast
Secure parking. Friendly owners. No tea & coffee making facilities in the room. Poor selection for breakfast.
Very helpfull proprieter , nice pool A little dark and old fashioned
Friendly if jokey service, good secure car parking, easily located in town centre. Quiet room at the back facing the nice garden and pool. Room a bit tired, breakfast a bit thin, some noise from someone running about the hotel in the evening.
The lake was a great sucess. The pool was shut, and this was the main reason we booked it because of the children! It should mention this somewhere.Also, the accomodation was very small, and we needed to upgrade, as two rooms didn't mean two bedrooms - slightly misleading.
The weather was great. The location to the centre of Marciac meant you did not have to use your car all of the time if you wanted to go off site., The lakeside location and a nice walk around it was very pleasant. The pool was clean very well presented and was in an excellent location.,There were not to many properties, The staff were friendly and the problem that we incurred was sorted out, which Perhaps the short hours reception is open, proved unhelpful to us. We could not hire a bike for the afternoon only, it also this led to us staying a night in another hotel, however they did resolve the issue and took note our comments. This was reassuring.
Excellent location, very helpful staff, great idea to have appartments and chalets with the facilities of a hotel no kettle or cups large enough for making tea
Modern hotel where everything worked. Good restaurant with better than average menu. Pleasant chat with friendly proprietor, not to mention the Vieil Armagnac, on leaving. No, except the usual complaint about poor lighting for reading in the bedroom of virtually all French Hotels
The room was very small but clean and it had a small swimming pool which could be used by guests but at very restricted times Service was appalling and offhand, directions difficult to follow and not in Pujols at all!! No airconditioning and breakfast very poor - even the coffee was in a flask. Pretentious set up with heavy carpets and no lifts for the multi levelled building therefore manoevering luggage was difficult
Nice village location, next to thermal spa facility, good in-house restaurant Small room with only basic facilities and outfit: no shower curtain over tub, one electric wall plug in entire room, WiFi only in reception area, lacking in-room safe, coffee/tea making facilities
Nice and clean, spoke english and french, excellent food Nothing
`Staff were very helpful, meals were reasonable, rooms were basic but clean `Breakfast was very poor - in particular the coffee, from a machine, was dreadful
Excellent host and dinner good
Well run with friendly staff. Food ok with comfortable, public areas. Room ok. En Suite a little lack lustre and needs updating. Nothing drastic.
Good restaurant Traffic noise
the lady who greeted us was very welcoming. the receptionist when we left mocked my French - it's not that great but i don't usually have trouble being understood and can carry on a conversation
The owners were friendly and attentive. The room was modern and comfortable for a business stop over. The hotel is situated on a corner of the N21, a main road with lorries passing througout the night which made sleeping with the window open difficult.
Nice room with separate toilet in room, new shower, being renovated, close to town.
Beautiful location, friendly people. Excellent food. Charming atmosphere.
I booked a long time in advance and requested a twin room, however was given a (not very big) double. The paperwork said check in after 5pm however I was told if we had arrived at midday we could have had a twin room. A bit annoying.
we liked the peaceful environment and wonderful setting of the hotel, friendly hotel owners, nice food, very clean, ... so very satisfied about price-quality. soft matrasses
the room,bathroom were excellent. Breakfast is nice. calme place.female owner is nice.cleaned place. They started cleaning the jaccuzi on a sunday...from what we heard....so we could not use it for the two coming days. Bad mood of the male owner/cook.
almost everything 2 mirrors and 2 trashcans in bathroom but none in bedroom. Propose one of each in each room
Set in a beautiful peaceful location Nothing
Fantastic location, character and charm.
Fantastic food in the evening - by far the best Fois Gras on our driving tour of France. Setting was very calming and relaxing.

I met my absolute best friend when I was already engaged to someone else and fell in love with him almost right away. He was in love with me as well but we didn't want to hurt our significant others and we thought we could handle just being friends. We have been through every major event in our lives together since then. 2 years ago, he stopped speaking to me suddenly for a year. Eventually, we started speaking again and he said he was afraid he was taking my husband's place emotionally and didn't want us to be as close as we once were so we tried to be a little less close but then,this year he survived a terrible car crash and we realised just how close we came to losing each other forevver. We became as close as we had once been and then, one day, he sent a friend to me with a message that he wanted to move on from me. We haven't spoken since. I feel he has left me twice and if I have any sense, I should just focus on my family. Everyone agrees this makes sense but I miss my friend terribly. I long to see him but I'm afraid that I will be in love with him all over again only to be rejected. It hurts to imagine that I meant so little that I could be so easily forgotten. But this conflicts with the way it was. So sometimes I'm angry and sometimes depressed and I feel so alone because anyone who hears it would judge me for loving him this much when I'm happily married so I grieve in secret. It's been two months and the pain is eating me up. I wish I could recover and forget everything we ever said or were.

The Road Trip: A Senior Narrative Book Jacket by Colin Dickerson (2017)
Click to read Artist Statement
For my book I took a short story with the summary of: Jason can never keep a job, and he is never able to get out of his brother's shadow. Luckily, he's got two best friends: Adrian and Benjamin.. Hitch a ride with the posse on their their annual football road trip across the country. A new beginning awaits… And made a book jacket out of it. After going through a couple of ideas I finally decided what I wanted to do. I really wanted to include the road trip aspect in my book jacket and so using I decided to have my title be on a street sign and my by line be on the license plate.
Using Illustrator I drew my car and road and background and then drew the road sign. Then in inDesign I took the measurements of a book I bought to make a front cover, back cover, flaps and spine of a book. Then I added my Illustrator files and made a the book jacket. I finally printed it out and mounted it on my book.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday called Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Tex.) marathon speech a "big waste of time."
"With all due respect, I'm not sure we learned anything new," Reid said after Cruz's speech ended. "It's been interesting, but it has also been a big waste of time."
Cruz wound up speaking for 21 hours and 19 minutes, wrapping up his comments at noon Eastern time.
Reid made care to note in his remarks that what Cruz was engaged in wasn't technically a filibuster, but instead a negotiated time during which Cruz could speak, and that the vote would proceed Wednesday afternoon regardless.
He and Cruz clashed shortly before noon when Reid delivered remarks during the speech. Cruz objected on the grounds that Reid was giving a speech of his own rather than asking a question.

View full video at Broke Straight Boys
After sorting out who is sitting where and talking about who is getting fucked, these three guys from Broke Straight Boys get down to what they're there for -- spit roasting this poor bastard's ass. The bottom's not happy about it, but BSB pays these guys a lot of money, so I'm sure he won't be complaining when he's cashing the cheque. And the spit roasting turns into some daisy chain fucking, so someone must have gotten some bonus bone pay.

Clint sat perched on the rooftop. Below him, he could see Natasha in the street. Both of them keeping watch. This mission to Budapest was going fairly normally so far.
"Hawkeye?" she spoke into the earpiece. "I'm just going to be a minute. I want to check something out."
He nodded. A moment later, she was gone.
There was a sound of an airplane's motor, accompanied by a loud sound of something bouncing off the ground. Was that… an airplane? With a ball of rubber bands on the bottom?
It bounced past the building. A red haired boy leaned out from the open top and spotted the archer.
"Hi!" yelled the boy, waving.
Clint just stared as the airplane bounced by.
"What in the world…" he muttered.
"Hey, did you see an airplane attached to a ball of rubber bands go by?" asked a voice.
He jumped and looked down to see a hover car sitting just below him. The driver… was that a platypus in a fedora?
The speaker was a man in the back. Brown hair and a lab coat.
"Uh… yeah. Went that way," he said, pointing, unsure of what else to say.
"Oh, good! Thanks! Team Doofenshmirtz ho!" said the man.
The platypus and the other passenger – an older man with white hair – turned to glare at the man in the lab coat.
"What? I'm going to let you people name the team? Organization Without A Cool Acronym?"
"We've already discussed this," said the man with white hair. "We're wasting time, let's go."
The hover car pulled away.
"I'm back!" said Natasha's voice in his ear. "Did I miss anything?"
You have no idea.
Hope you enjoyed! Please review!

France was often the country where we spent our holidays. We bought Le Nid as our holiday home in 1999, and for the use of our children and, so far, eight grandchildren. Because we also like voyages to other countries now and then, we decided to offer the house for rent when we do not need it.

If there's one substance that has been studied and proven time and time again to boost your physical performance in the gym, caffeine would be it.
Caffeine can help to improve muscular endurance, boost strength, power output, increase mental focus, drive, and determination. It can even help speed up your metabolic rate, giving you an edge on fat loss.
This compound is highly available and something you can get right from your own coffee maker. As most gym enthusiasts aren't going to be so keen on downing a cup or two of coffee just before they step into the gym, this leads them turning to supplement options.
But, is the caffeine supplement you're taking really an optimal choice? Realize that most conventional caffeine tablets you purchase are synthetic varieties, not pure organic caffeine extract.
When shopping for caffeine, it's organic PurCaf that you should be looking for. Here's why.
Chemical Free
The first reason to opt for PurCaf over conventional caffeine is because PurCaf is 100% chemical free. You're in the gym training hard each and every day and paying close attention to all the different foods you put into your body.
The last thing you want to be doing is putting toxins into your system that may counteract all your hard work.
But, when you use regular caffeine, this is precisely what you may be doing.
100% Organic
Ask yourself this: are you paying extra at the supermarket checkout to put organic fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet? Many of you are because you know very well that the pesticides that can come with non-organic produce can impact your health and well-being.
Why not take the same degree of care with your supplements? Why are you not ensuring that they too are 100% organic. Many people completely overlook this because they don't have to wash their supplements before they consume them like they would with fresh fruits or vegetables. But this doesn't mean going organic is not important.
Greater Results At A Smaller Dose
Because PurCaf is so pure and effective, you'll likely find that you get similar energy and performance boosting effects while taking a smaller dose.
Why does this benefit you?
Remember, the body will slowly adapt to how much caffeine you are taking in, provided you are using it on a daily basis. You may have started on traditional caffeine tablets at 200 mg per day but now you've had to slowly increase it and are close to the point where you need 400 mg to feel any effects. It's only so long before this takes a toll on your CNS. Caffeine is a stimulant and too much of any stimulant can burn out your central nervous system.
With PurCaf , as the effects are that much more powerful thanks to the fact it is such a high quality source of caffeine, you will likely not find that you need more than the 200 mg to reap the benefits. This can help you sustain a lower overall dosage on a daily basis, reducing the stress on your system.
Water Soluble
Yet another benefit of selecting PurCaf over regular synthetic caffeine is the fact that it's incredibly water soluble. This means it will break down in your system rapidly, delivering the energizing effects almost instantly.
You'll feel the caffeine surge through your body within minutes of taking it, so there will be no lag time between using the supplement and noticing the results.
This makes dosage timing much easier and guarantees you have an exceptional workout session.
Lower Risk Of Unwanted Side Effects
While it's always important to know your own body and tolerance for stimulants, do keep in mind that you should experience a lower risk of unwanted side effects when using PurCaf versus the leading synthetic caffeine tablet.
As this is an all-natural and purely organic substance, there is a lower risk that you'll suffer the unwanted caffeine crash that leaves so many people miserable after their temporary 'high'.
This means you can get the performance enhancing results you desire without having to experience any negatives because of fit.
Don't overlook the importance of where your caffeine is coming from. For the most optimal results, you'll want to ensure it's PurCaf that you're taking, not some man-made variety that's riddled with additives.

Students are required to have travel health insurance for the period they are abroad.
You will be asked to confirm coverage before leaving Canada on the Risk Management Agreement form in your online application account.
Students can purchase travel health insurance from any insurance provider as long as the plan covers the items listed on the Risk Management Agreement form.
If you already have coverage through another plan (spouse or parents), double check that it covers all of the required items and meets your personal needs. If not, you will need to supplement your existing plan with additional coverage.
Insurance providers to consider:
Many students are required to get health insurance through their host institution as part of their study abroad program. While this may mean overlap in your coverage, the host insurance usually only covers while you have formally started the program, not for any travel to or from the host country. This means you will still need coverage from the time you leave Canada, until the time you return.
Certain countries may require proof of health insurance in order to apply for a visa, work permit, or study permit. You'll need to make sure that, if required, your insurance coverage meets the visa requirements of your destination country.
UAlberta policy states that you must check your UAlberta email at least once a week. This is very important while you're abroad—it's the primary way we'll keep in touch with you.
You should also stay in contact with family or friends back home as much as possible.
In the case of an emergency, follow these procedures:

SharePoint Development - Build Workflow Solutions for SharePoint Online
By Chris Mayo | July 2011
Many organizations have adopted SharePoint to facilitate collaboration among their information workers. These organizations often use SharePoint to store information in lists and document libraries to support a manual business process. While storing this information in SharePoint does make it easier to collaborate around that information much more effectively, a significant boost in information worker productivity can be realized by automating those business processes within SharePoint in the form of SharePoint workflows.
With the release of Office 365, SharePoint Online gives organizations many of the same collaboration benefits as SharePoint while also providing the advantages of a cloud-based Software as a Service. SharePoint Online supports workflow through declarative workflows built in SharePoint Designer 2010 and deployed through sandbox solutions. If the built-in workflow actions don't support the requirements of the workflow solution, you can build custom workflow actions using Visual Studio 2010 and deploy them to SharePoint Online via sandboxed solutions.
In this article, I'll provide an overview of workflow support in SharePoint Online, build a declarative workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010, augment that workflow via a custom action and deploy it to run in the cloud as a sandbox solution in SharePoint Online.
For information on how SharePoint Online development is similar to and different from SharePoint 2010 development, see my article, "Cloud-Based Collaboration with SharePoint Online," published in the March 2011 issue of MSDN Magazine (bit.ly/spodevmsdn). And for more details on SharePoint Online and Office 365, including how to sign up for a trial account, visit office365.com.
SharePoint Online Development Overview
SharePoint Online lets you create collaboration solutions using the same skills and tools used in developing for SharePoint 2010, including Visual Studio 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010, C# or Visual Basic, and the SharePoint APIs and SDKs. While there are a number of similarities between developing solutions for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Online, there are differences that will affect what solutions can be built and how those solutions are built.
SharePoint Online only supports sandboxed solutions, which means you can't deploy code-based workflows, including solutions built with the Sequential Workflow and State Machine Workflow project items. However, workflows built using SharePoint Designer 2010 are supported because these workflows are declarative rather than code-based and can be deployed either directly to SharePoint Online or via the Solution Gallery using package files. Furthermore, you can extend these declarative workflows via sandboxed solutions built with Visual Studio 2010 to provide custom workflow actions to support scenarios that SharePoint Designer 2010 doesn't support out of the box.
This article will build on the concepts and solution covered in the previous article. I encourage you to read that article, follow the guidance provided to set up your SharePoint Online development environment and build the purchasing solution examples so you have a solid understanding of the development concepts for SharePoint Online. To illustrate workflow support in SharePoint Online, this article will extend the purchasing solution to include a workflow solution.
SharePoint Designer 2010 Overview
SharePoint Designer 2010 lets power users and developers customize SharePoint 2010 without code. SharePoint Designer 2010 also supports SharePoint Online, with the only differences coming from feature differences between SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Online, such as BCS and External List support. SharePoint Designer 2010 is a great tool for navigating and managing artifacts in SharePoint, working with data, and for customizing the look and feel of your SharePoint sites. It also lets you create custom workflows that can be deployed as part of an overall collaboration solution. You can learn more about SharePoint Designer 2010 capabilities in the video, "Introducing SharePoint Designer 2010 for SharePoint Online" (bit.ly/spdspointro). SharePoint Designer 2010 is a free download and supports both 32-bit (bit.ly/spd201032) and 64-bit versions (bit.ly/spd201064).
The Purchasing Solution
In the examples in this article, I'll be building on the fictional Contoso Corp. purchasing process introduced in the previous article by adding a SharePoint workflow to automate the approval of purchase requests. When a purchase request requires approval, the user will start the workflow and provide a business justification for the purchase. The workflow will initiate an approval process and create a task for the Approvers group with details on the purchase. After the approval or rejection, an e-mail will be sent to the requesting user about the outcome of the request. The workflow will then examine the request type and in the case of an approved travel request (such as to attend a technical conference), the workflow will create a sub-site for the user to fill out a trip report and upload slides. I'm going to add a RequestType field to the Non-Standard Business Purchase Requests for this purpose.
I've updated the PurchaseMgr project from the last article to include this RequestType field. If you followed that article, you can remove the prior package and deploy the one supplied with this article or add a required RequestType field with the choices Travel, Equipment and Service Request to the Non-Standard Purchase Requests list. I'll start with the code from this article (bit.ly/spoworkmsdncode) and extract it to the Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SPOMSDN_Workflow directory on my local machine. I'll then deploy the PurchasingMgr.wsp to the Solution Gallery of the site collection on my local SharePoint 2010 development environment (in my case, http://o365dpe.contoso.com/sites/spomsdnmag) and activate the Purchasing Manager–Content Types and Lists feature in my Purchasing site (http://o365dpe.contoso.com/sites/spomsdnmag/purchasing).
Creating the Workflow
To get started developing my workflow, I'll open the Purchasing site on my local SharePoint 2010 development environment site by opening SharePoint Designer 2010, selecting File | Sites | Open Site and entering the URL of my site (http://o365dpe.contoso.com/sites/spomsdnmag/purchasing). In the Navigation pane, I'll select Workflows to show the currently published workflow and the Workflows ribbon, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Workflows in SharePoint Designer 2010
SharePoint Online supports List Workflows that act on a specific list, Site Workflows that work on a specific site and Reusable Workflows that can be bound to a list or specific content type at a later date. I want to be able to distribute my workflow as part of an overall solution, so I'll create a Reusable Workflow, which is the only type of workflow that supports distribution.
When creating a workflow in SharePoint Designer, I have a number of choices. I can create my workflow based on one of the built-in workflows (including Approval, Collect Feedback or Collection Signatures) using the Copy & Modify button, import a Visio 2010 diagram based on the Microsoft SharePoint Workflow template using the Import from Visio button, or create the workflow from scratch using the New group on the Workflows tab of the Ribbon. I'll create my workflow from scratch by clicking the Reusable Workflow button in the New group of the ribbon. In the Create Reusable Workflow dialog, I'll name the workflow Non-Standard Business Purchase Request Approval and select Purchasing Manager – Non-Standard Business Purchase Request Content Type so the workflow will be bound to my content type, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Reusable Workflow Bound to the Content Type
Next, I'll go to the Non-Standard Business Purchase Request Approval workflow settings page by clicking the Workflow Settings in the Manage group of the Workflows tab.
In the Settings group, I'll check the "Show workflow visualization on status page" to give my users a real-time visualization of the status of each instance of the workflow. I'll use the Start Options group to make this a human-driven workflow by unchecking "Disable manual start option" and checking the "Disable automatic start on item creation/change option" checkboxes. You can create a machine-driven workflow by doing the reverse.
In many situations, information I need to complete the workflow is not stored in the list or library. I can collect and store that information in workflow-specific variables and columns. This can be done with the Variables group in the Workflows ribbon, as described in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Workflow Variables
|Variable Type
|Initiation Form Parameter
|A parameter that stores data collected from the user when the workflow is started or associated with a list.
|Local Variables
|Private variables used to store data used in the processing of the workflow.
|Association Columns
|Columns that are added to the list when the workflow is associated to the list to guarantee a base set of columns for reusable workflows.
In this instance, I want to collect the business justification for the purchase when the workflow is started so I can provide that information to approvers to help them make a decision. To do this, I'll click on Variables | Initiation Form Parameters | Add… and create a Business Rationale parameter in the Add Field dialog; then click Next and Finish.
Implementing the Workflow in SharePoint Designer
At this point, I'm ready to start implementing the workflow, so I'll select the Editor workflow button in the Edit Group of the Workflow Settings tab. I'm now in the SharePoint Designer 2010 workflow designer where I can implement my workflow using the Condition, Action and Step options in the Insert group of the Workflow ribbon (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 Workflow Designer—Insert Section
Steps are used to organize the conditions and actions in a workflow and to control how those conditions and actions are executed, as Figure 5 describes.
Figure 5 Types of Steps
|Step Type
|Steps are used to organize Conditions and Actions in a workflow. All conditions and actions must be completed before execution moves to the next Step. Can be nested.
|Impersonation Step
|Workflows run under the permissions of the user who starts the workflow either manually or automatically. Steps in the Impersonation Step execute as the workflow author. The Impersonation Step can only be added as the first Step in a workflow. Steps can be nested inside the Impersonation Step.
|Parallel Block
|When Steps are added to a Parallel Block, they are run in parallel rather than sequentially.
For example, in Figure 6, Step 2 will be executed with the workflow author's permissions while Step 1 will be executed as the user who started the workflow (either manually or automatically). Steps 5 and 6 will be executed in parallel while Steps 3 and 4 will be executed serially.
Figure 6 Steps—Effect on Workflow Execution
In my workflow, I'll have just one Step. To document what the Conditions and Actions do in the Step, I'll change the title by clicking on the text "Step 1" and entering "Request Purchase Approval." I'll then click inside the Step so the cursor is where I need to start adding Actions and Conditions.
Actions do work within the workflow and can include starting an approval process, modifying a list item, sending an e-mail and more. For a complete list of the supported actions, refer to the SharePoint Designer 2010 reference (bit.ly/spd2010act). For this scenario, I want to start an approval process for the purchase request, so I'll select the Action drop-down from the Insert section of the ribbon and choose Start Approval Process. This adds a sentence to the designer with hyperlinks, allowing me to complete the Action by selecting each link and providing more information, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7 Adding the Start Approval Process Action
Clicking on the Approval link lets me customize the approval task, including changing both how the task is processed and the task outcomes. I can return to the editor by clicking the back button. I'll click the "these users" link to customize the task and specify who will participate in the approval process. In the Select Task Process Participants dialog, I'll select the Approvers group as the Participants and set the title of the task, as shown in Figure 8. For the Instructions, I want to provide details about the item and the business rationale to help the approver make a decision. For example, to include the list item title, I click the Add or Change Lookup button, select Current Item as the Data Source and Title as the Field from Source.
Figure 8 Customizing the Approval Task
The final task will look like Figure 9.
Figure 9 Customized Approval Task
At this point in the workflow execution, the workflow will pause until the task is approved or rejected or, if a due date was supplied, expired. To control the flow, I'll use Conditions.
Conditions control the logic of the workflow based on values in workflow variables or fields. For example, if the item is approved, I want to send an e-mail to the requestor and create a site if the request type is of type Travel. If the item is rejected, I want to send e-mail and delete the item. To do this, I'll place the cursor under the approval process, click the Condition drop-down and select "If any value equals any value." I'll click on the "value" hyperlink and click the button displayed to show the Define Workflow Lookup dialog. For the Data source I'll select Workflow Variables and Parameters, and for the Field from source I choose Variable: IsItemApproved. This variable is added to the workflow when a Start Approval Process task is added.
I'll then click the equals link and select equals from the drop-down displayed. Next, I'll click the value link and select Yes from the drop-down. I'll place an Else-If Block under this condition so I can take action when the item is rejected. I'll add Send and Email actions to each branch and use the String Builder to set the e-mail title, as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10 Approval E-mail
Next, I'll add an "If current item field equals value" condition under the If condition and base it on the RequestType field so I can create a new sub-site when the request is a travel request. The designer now looks like Figure 11.
Figure 11 The Conditional Flow of the Workflow
To create the site for Travel requests, I'll need to create a custom workflow action because this action isn't built into SharePoint Designer 2010. To do this, I'll save my workflow, close SharePoint Designer 2010 and open Visual Studio 2010.
Building a Custom Workflow Action in Visual Studio 2010
You can add custom workflow actions to SharePoint Designer 2010 using Visual Studio 2010 and sandboxed solutions. These actions can accomplish any task that can be done in a sandboxed solution, which provides a lot of flexibility to SharePoint Online workflows.
In Visual Studio 2010, I'll select File | New Project and in the New Project dialog I'll select SharePoint 2010 templates and the Empty SharePoint Template. I'll enter PurchasingMgrActions for the Name and Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SPOMSDN_Workflow\ as the Location and Click OK. In the SharePoint Customization Wizard I'll enter my local development site (http://o365dpe.contoso.com/sites/spomsdnmag/purchasing) for the local site and select "Deploy as a sandboxed solution" and click Finish.
In the Solution Explorer, I'll right click on the PurchasingMgrActions project, select Add | Class…, then name the class CreateSiteAction and click OK. The CreateSiteAction class provides the method the workflow will call to create the new site. I'll add the necessary using statements and implement the CreateSite method, as defined in Figure 12.
using System; using System.Collections; using Microsoft.SharePoint; using Microsoft.SharePoint.UserCode; namespace SPDCustomWorkflowActions { public class CreateSiteActivity { public Hashtable CreateSite(SPUserCodeWorkflowContext context, string siteName) { Hashtable results = new Hashtable(); try { using (SPSite site = new SPSite(context.CurrentWebUrl)) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { web.Webs.Add( siteName, "Trip Report: " + siteName, string.Empty, 1033, "STS", false, false); } } results["success"] = true; results["exception"] = string.Empty; } catch (Exception e) { results = new Hashtable(); results["exception"] = e.ToString(); results["success"] = false; } return results; } } }
The CreateSite method follows the method signature for custom actions, passing in SPUserCodeWorkflowContext to provide access to the context the workflow is running under and whatever other parameters I need (in this case the name of the site to create). The method gets access to the site collection (SPSite) and site (SPWeb) via the context and creates the new site via the SPWeb.Webs.Add method. Results are returned via the Results Hashtable variable.
For CreateSiteAction to be added to the Actions drop-down, I need to deploy an Elements.xml file with my Feature to describe the action to SharePoint Designer 2010. I'll add this file to the project by selecting the PurchasingMgrActions project in Solution Explorer, right-clicking and choosing Add | New Item…, then selecting SharePoint 2010 under Installed Templates and choosing the Empty Element template. I'll name the item CreateSiteActionDefinition and click OK. This definition is accomplished by implementing an Action element in the WorkflowActions elements, as seen in Figure 13.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <WorkflowActions> <Action Name="Create Site" SandboxedFunction="true" Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" ClassName="PurchasingMgrActions.CreateSiteAction" FunctionName="CreateSite" AppliesTo="all" UsesCurrentItem="true" Category="Purchasing Manager Workflow Actions"> <RuleDesigner Sentence="Create Site with name %1 (exceptions logged to %2)"> <FieldBind Field="siteName" Text="Site Name" Id="1" DesignerType="TextBox" /> <FieldBind Field="exception" Text="Exception" Id="2" DesignerType="ParameterNames" /> </RuleDesigner> <Parameters> <Parameter Name="__Context" Type="Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions.WorkflowContext, Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions" Direction="In" DesignerType="Hide" /> <Parameter Name="siteName" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Direction="In" DesignerType="TextBox" Description="Name of the site to create" /> <Parameter Name="exception" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Direction="Out" DesignerType="ParameterNames" Description="Exception encountered"/> </Parameters> </Action> </WorkflowActions> </Elements>
The Action element and its attributes describe the assembly, class and method that will be called when the action is executed in the workflow. In this case, it will call the CreateSiteAction.CreateSite method. The RuleDesigner element and its FieldBind elements define the sentence that will be shown in the workflow designer and the name and type of the fields shown as hyperlinks in that sentence. The Parameters element and its Parameter sub-elements define how the RuleDesigner\FieldBind elements get passed in and out of the call to CreateSiteAction.CreateSite. For example, the __Context parameter is of type WorkflowContext and is used to pass that context into the call without being shown in the designer (by setting the DesigerType attribute to "Hide"). The siteName parameter will receive the value in the siteName field binding. This is done by giving the field and parameter the same name. Exceptions will be passed out via the exception parameter and into the exception field for the same reason.
Before I test my custom action, I'll open Feature1 and give it a title of Purchasing Manager Workflow Actions to make it more descriptive, and change its scope to Site as required by custom workflow actions.
Deploying the Workflow Solution to SharePoint Online
To test my custom workflow action I'll right-click on the PurchasingMgrActions project in Solution Explorer and select Package to package the solution. I'll then upload the PurchasingMgrActions.wsp to the Solution Gallery in my local development site collection (http://o365dpe.contoso.com/sites/spomsdnmag) to deploy the custom workflow action.
Now, when I open SharePoint Designer 2010 and my Non-Standard Business Purchase Request Workflow Approval workflow in the workflow editor, my custom workflow action is displayed in the Action drop-down under the Purchasing Manager Workflows category, as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14 Create Site Custom Action in Workflow Designer
After setting the Site Name variable to Current Item:Title, my workflow is complete and ready for testing (see Figure 15).
Figure 15 The Completed Workflow
To get ready for testing, I need to publish the workflow to my local development site and associate it to my list. To publish, I select Publish in the Save section of the ribbon. When the publication is complete, I'll navigate to my Non-Standard Business Purchase Requests list on my local development site, click the List tab and select Workflow Settings in the Settings section of the ribbon. Under "These workflows are configured to run on items of this type," I'll select Purchasing Manager – Non-Standard Business Purchase Requests and choose the "Add a workflow" link. I'll select my Non-Standard Business Purchase Request Approval workflow as the template and give the workflow the name Non-Standard Business Purchase Approval and click Next and then click Save.
At this point I can run my workflow. I'll select the first item on my list, then choose Workflows in the Workflows section of the ribbon and click on the Non-Standard Business Purchase Approval workflow to start the workflow. I'll then be prompted to enter a business justification as specified in my Business Rationale Initiation Form Parameter.
I'll supply a justification like the one shown and click Start to start the workflow. I can then go into the Workflows page for the item and select the in-progress workflow to see the Workflow Information page, which includes a visualization of the workflow. When the task is approved, the diagram is updated, as seen in Figure 16.
Figure 16 Workflow Information Page with Visualization
I can then go to Site Actions | View All Site Content and see the site that was created by my custom workflow action.
At this point I'm ready to distribute my workflow solution to SharePoint Online. To get the package file for my Non-Standard Business Purchase Request workflow, I'll open the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 and select the Save As Template option from the Manage section of the ribbon to save the workflow to the Site Assets library. I can then take the package files PurchasingMgr.wsp (or modify the existing list if already deployed), PurchasingMgrActions.wsp and Non-Standard Business Purchase Request Approval.wsp from the Site Assets library and upload them into the Solution Gallery in my SharePoint Online site collection. Note that the features must be activated in this order based on the dependencies between the features (this can be automated via feature activation dependencies). After activating the workflow feature in my site and associating the workflow to my list, I can follow the same steps to test my workflow in SharePoint Online.
Wrapping Up
Automating business processes via workflows in SharePoint Online can make collaboration even more effective beyond merely storing information in SharePoint Online. In this article I showed how to implement a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010, extend that workflow with a custom workflow action developed with Visual Studio, and then distribute that workflow via package files created by SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visual Studio 2010. I encourage you to dive deep into workflow development in SharePoint Online. Your users will be impressed at how their manual, error-prone business processes become more efficient with less effort when automated in SharePoint Online workflows.
