A nervous daughter/maid of honorReviewed on 9/28/2013 Bobbie C
Aurora Bridal Boutique was so conscientious and considerate of my mother and I. We got both her wedding dress and my bridesmaids dress there. Personally neither my mom or myself like dress shopping but our experience here was a great bonding moment and a fun experience thanks to... Read More the manager. I got the most gorgeous 1940's style, Frank Sinatra gown and my mom found her perfect wedding dress all for under 300 for me and 900 for her. AMAZING manager, helpful staff, and a wonderful selection of dresses no matter if your restricted by price or style preference, they'll have something for you! :) I start any shopping experience for a formal dress at Aurora!
Thank you so much for your sweet words! They mean the world to us!!
Loved them!Reviewed on 5/23/2013 Mallory G
I ordered a dress online and had it shipped to Aurora to try on and ultimately purchase. The staff was so helpful, and the cost for the dress was lower than what other stores wanted to charge.
Thanks Mallory! You had wanted a dress we didn't have a sample of in store. Fortunately, the designer offers a service that allows us to bring in a dress that we don't have so that a bride can try it on to see if it... Read Less Read More
Awesome StaffReviewed on 4/10/2013 Bonnie P
I am so glad I got my dress at Aurora Bridal! They worked with me and helped me figure out that I could order a dress from a different designer even though they didn't carry that designer in the store. I was so thankful that they were able to order it because I was still able to... Read More get their awesome bridal package. They were extremely helpful too. Because I wasn't able to see my dress in person, they helped me figure out what color "white" I needed for the dress and talked me through everything. Every fitting I went to, the staff took such good care of me and helped me with anything I needed. I'm going to miss going over and saying hi to everyone! They really do know how to make you feel comfortable spending money on a bridal gown, and it is definitely worth it to get it through them.
THANK YOU!!!!!Reviewed on 4/03/2015
I am from Jacksonville FL and have traveled to several major cities to find the perfect dress for a reasonable price. After striking out in Orlando, Tampa, Winterpark and my own city, I was at a point of giving up and just get a dress instead of "the dress." I searched online... Read More and found this boutique and scheduled an appointment. I was not too optimistic due to not having much luck in the recent months. I was paired with the sweetest yet knowledgeable consultant (Ms. Stephanie). She was a godsend and was so patient and help me find the perfect dress! I am so thankful to her and this boutique for putting my wedding dress search to rest! Thanks for everything
great variety of gorgeous dresses, in all prices & sizesReviewed on 12/08/2014 Jennifer W
As a not-stick-thin bride, I was worried about bridal sizes & wedding dress shopping...so much that I put it off for a month, even though we only had a 3.5-month engagement! Luckily, I had a great experience with Aurora Bridal. The woman who helped me on my first visit was... Read More Denise. Other women have helped me in subsequent visits, and I've interacted with everyone during all my visits (I love it there, I hardly need any excuse to visit!), and everyone is nice & helpful but I think Denise really is the best. She is a tiny little woman who will carry around tons of giant wedding dresses for you to try on, and she'll have them ready for you to step into super quickly. She is fun & makes you feel very at ease. I narrowed it down to 3 dresses on my first visit, after trying on dozens (and here I was worried that I wouldn't find anything!). The next day, I went back with a slightly bigger budget and tried on a few more...and found "the dress." Denise helped me Skype my mom (she lives 1000 miles away) and I got the dress & a gorgeous veil :) Aurora offers a bridal package that will give you $200 off a veil, a shoe credit of $40 or something, and discounts on bridal party dresses. Take advantage of it, if only for the veil discount! I shopped around for bridal party dresses, and ended up ordering them here as well.
Beach weddingReviewed on 11/03/2014 Caitlin M
Aurora bridal was the fourth wedding dress store I went to, looking for my perfect beach wedding dress. I knew what I was looking for and they did not put me in a dress that was out of my budget. They were extremely helpful with ordering my bridesmaid gowns and ties for the... Read More groomsmen as well. They made the process extremely easy and did all alterations in home. I would definitely recommend this store for any soon to be brides!
Superior customer serviceReviewed on 11/02/2014 Ashmia J
I shopped at Aurora's Unique Bridal with my mother and daughter to find my daughter a dress for her special day. Whitney was her consultant and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful she was. Our appointment was at 10am and when we arrived Whitney already had a few dresses... Read More for my daughter to try on. After trying on a few dresses we could tell this was going to be challenging because my daughter was not exactly sure what she wanted. After a few hours of trying on dresses Whitney suggested we go to lunch and then come back because she had cleared her entire day for us and would do everything possible to help her find a dress that day. So we went back after lunch and started again. After trying on about 30 dresses and narrowing down to the final two my daughter finally said yes to the dress around 4:30pm!! Thanks to our angel Whitney. I can't thank her enough for all of her help, patience and most importantly her time. She was absolutely amazing. Do yourself a favor and shop at Aurora's Unique Bridal if you are looking for a wedding dress. Not only will you receive stellar customer service you will also receive a great price!!!
Great service and selectionReviewed on 10/29/2014 Julie H
This place has so many choices, lots of great designers, friendly and helpful attendants. I saw the dress I liked on-line after looking at hundreds on The Knot and it lead me to Aurora Boutique for the Maggie Soterro I was looking for. I contacted them ahead of time and they... Read More pulled the dresses I knew I wanted to try from on-line browsing. The employee that helped us had them all ready to go in the fitting room as we arrived for appointment. She was really helpful getting me in and out of the dresses as i definitely neede the help. I found my PERFECT dress. The only thing that was missing was champagne :/. Based on my experience, I would recommend this shop to any bride! Some of my bridesmaids have brought their friends there after coming with me. Shop around for alterations before having any bridal shop sell you on them though ;)
Thank you Julie!
They are the absolute best!Reviewed on 10/29/2014 Elizabeth H
When I went to try on dresses I had a pretty large list of ones that I wanted to try. They didn't have all but they had many and a few that were comparable. My consultant, Stephanie, took her time and helped me try on each and every dress that I picked out, and then some! In the... Read More end she was the one that found the dress I chose! They were so very accommodating. They allowed, and provided seating for, all my crazy family and friends that came to watch me pick my dress. They made sure that I was happy with my choices and let me ask my numerous questions without getting frustrated or annoyed with me or my family. My only concern was that they didn't have many larger sizes of bridesmaid dresses for my girls to try on. However, they do take careful measurements and will make sure to order the dress in the appropriate size or will help find a better solution. Also, I love the bridal packages that are included in the price of the dress. It is a stress reliever to know that there are discounts or credits towards other items that are needed for my big day. I am so excited to see all the pieces together once they arrive! Thank you for a great experience thus far! :)
Thank you for the sweet review!
Fantastic Service!Reviewed on 10/28/2014 Erika R
I had the pleasure of working with Aurora Bridal to find my wedding gown. They went above and beyond to make sure I found the perfect one as well as making sure it arrived where it needed to be in time for our wedding. The girls there are amazing and I can't thank them enough... Read More for all their help!
Thank you so much!
10/3 brideReviewed on 10/28/2014 Brenna Y
I used Aurora for my daughter's wedding dress and was so impressed with the friendly staff and exceptional service it oy made sense thT for my own wedding I would visit Aurora. Stephanie was wonderful. She listened to what I had in mind (not looking like a twenty something - or... Read More trying to hard - mature and beautiful) in addition she heard what I liked or wanted different on the gowns I tried and found me an amazing gown with the details I wanted. I looked beautiful and more importantly I felt beautiful.
Thank you!!!! We loved helping you!
Aurora is the BestReviewed on 10/27/2014 Hugh G
Aurora Unique Bridal Boutique is the best! Before going to Aurora I had checked out a few other dress shops to try on dresses. None of the consultants at the other shops seemed to care nor did they listen to what I was looking for in my dream dress. When I came in for my... Read More appointment at Aurora I was honestly expecting the same experience...going in I wasn't even planning on buying a dress that day. Whitney was my consultant, and was beyond amazing. Not only did she pull amazing dresses for me, but they were exactly what I told her I was looking for and more. Working with Whitney was like shopping with my best friend, while she pulled dresses I was asking for she also pulled some with that little something extra that I didn't know to ask for, and in turn she helped me pick out my dream dress! The 2nd dress I tried on ended up being the dress, but even though I knew she still had fun helping me try on a few more dresses! I was on a very tight budget and was afraid I couldn't afford anything, but once again Aurora exceeded my expectations when they told me they woul work with me financially so I could have the dress of my dreams! I only had to put half down and was able to pay off the rest within 90 days! I also purchased the bridal package which gave me a ton of freebies one of which included storing my dress for me until my wedding day! Their alterations department is amazing as well. I also went back to Aurora to pick out my bridesmaids dresses, once again I worked with Whitney and she was so awesome and took the extra time to put me back in my wedding dress so I could show my girls! I have had nothing but an amazing experience with Aurora Unique Bridal and recommend everyone to go see them for your wedding dress! They will not disappoint! Thank you Whitney and everyone else at Aurora Unique Bridal for helping my wedding dress dream come true!
Heather, thank you so much for your sweet comments! Your certainly made Whitney's day!
BEST Bridal BoutiqueReviewed on 10/16/2014 Tiphani C
Aurora Bridal is by far the best bridal boutique around! The staff is very helpful and truly wants to help you with the special details of your wedding! I purchased my bridal gown, veil, bridesmaids dresses, as well as rent all the tuxes through the store. I have to say, there... Read More is no one else I would have wanted to entrust with these important details of our wedding! THANK YOU so much to Cami and all the staff! You are so great and I will forever recommend you to all my friends and family!
Tiphani, thank you so much for your sweet comments! We love you! Come visit!
Amazing ExperienceReviewed on 10/13/2014 Lindsay S
I looked everywhere in Florida for my dream dress to no avail. Then, my mother told me about how she found Aurora one day on errands. We went by and I am so glad that we did!! The staff is amazing, the dresses are incredible, and I found this experience to be one of the... Read More highlights of the wedding planning! Annette, the seamstress was so helpful and reassuring and everyone did all they could to make sure that my wedding dress was perfect for my special day. You will not be dissapointed, and I truly can say, I felt like a princess on my wedding day and it was because of this wonderful shop!
Thank you for your sweet words Lindsay!
Beautiful dresses and outstanding service for all of your bridal needsReviewed on 9/07/2014 Yvonne D
Firstly if you want the most beautiful wedding dress along with help from extremely experienced, wonderful ladies this is the place that you have to go to get your wedding dress. They have a huge selection of wedding gowns and also a great selection of dresses for your... Read More bridesmaids, mothers and flower girls. I got everything at Aurora Unique Bridal Boutique for myself and my bridal party along with 2 other formal dresses. Debbie was patient, honest and went the extra mile every time to take great care of us all. I will always go here now when I need a special occasion dress as the selection and service is phenomenal. Secondly I have to give recognition to the lovely ladies who did my wedding gown alterations. I lost some weight for my wedding and when I went to my initial dress fitting I had a meltdown moment as my dress was too big! However after the ladies worked their magic I couldn't believe how amazing my dress fitted by the final fitting. These ladies can fix anything, trust me! Thirdly the whole team at Aurora are simply wonderful and I understand why, Cami the owner is great and has got together a team of ladies who genuinely care about finding the perfect dresses for you and your party. They all fully understand the stress of being a bride and in the run up to the wedding it felt like I had support from all of them (and they all gave great advice too!) If you are getting married make the best decision and be sure to visit Aurora Bridal Unique Bridal Boutique, after all the dress is one of the most important things!
Thanks you so much for your wonderful review!
Easy, Beautiful, BreathtakingReviewed on 6/09/2014
I walked into the Aurora Boutique with the expectation of spending a long day trying on gowns. I was afraid to look at the price tags, the place is so beautiful! But I saw a gown...it was so gorgeous and simple...Cami helped me try it on..I was so awkward and nervous...when I... Read More walked out my mother and daughters gasped! They couldn't stop gushing over the gown. I felt like a princess. Then Cami brought me a veil and it was perfect. I was done, had pink champagne in hand and posted on Facebook in under an hour!! And the gown was far less than I expected. Barb, the seamstress was so sweet and knowledgeable, she made the dress fit perfectly and didn't cut away the fabric so I could pass the dress on to my daughters...I am such a happy bride. Thank you Aurora Boutique..xxoxx
Thank you for your sweet review!
Wonderful ExperienceReviewed on 4/26/2014 Heather S
My consultant was amazing, and was able to pull a dress that was PERFECT for me after 7 dresses. Sound like a lot? I went in without a clue as to what I really wanted style wise. She really had to work off of my reactions to each dress to gauge what I liked and disliked. Each... Read More time I went in to visit my dress she was there with a smile, mirroring my excitement. The seamstress was great too. She fit me once, and did not have to make any adjustments from that first fitting. My bustle was beautiful, and matched the design of my dress to a t. The whole experience was just what you would want as a bride. Professional, personal, attentive. I highly recommend Aurora Unique Bridal!
great customer service!Reviewed on 1/21/2014 Ginamarie A
From my very first time trying on gowns to my final fitting they are all so helpful and real! They went above to make sure everything was perfect
Cute boutique...not sure I'd drive all the way to Melbourne from OrlandoReviewed on 10/20/2013 Rhonda B
We ordered my dress, my mother's dress and my sister's dress from this boutique. Everyone that we worked with was nice and very helpful. I loved my dress and worked with the seamstress to shorten it to give it more of a vintage feel. She did a lovely job. I only have 2 small... Read More concerns. All three of us were measured and our dresses ordered. Each of us had issues with the way our dresses fit. This leads me to believe that we may not have been properly measured. My weight has not changed at all. Secondly, I was never notified that my other accessories (veil, shoes, hairclip) came in. I had to call as my wedding day got closer because I started getting a little nervous. Communication seems to be a small area of improvement for this boutique. Overall, I would recommend this boutique. I would not recommend driving all of the way to Melbourne from Orlando (as I did) just to visit this boutique. By the time I made multiple visits for fittings, etc., it would have been easier and less expensive just to have used a closer vender.
BEST STORE EVER!Reviewed on 10/04/2013 Breanne L
I came in without an appointment and was warmly greeted by my consultant Lauren. I tried on a ton of dresses and she gave me great feedback! I found my dress on the first visit but had to bring my family back to see it before I purchased it. In other bridal shops I visited I... Read More felt a lot of pressure and with her I did not. I came back a week later with my family and purchased my dress and everything has been great! I would highly recommend them to everyone!
well doneReviewed on 7/04/2013 Rochelle H
Love the dresses they where better than I thought. I would recommend them to future brides
Great ExperienceReviewed on 5/09/2013 Kim R
My experience shopping at Aurora Unique Bridal Boutique was fantastic! My consultant was wonderful and personable. She helped me find the perfect dress for me, even though it took me a really long time (several appointments). She put me in every dress that I wanted to see and... Read More she suggested other dresses that she thought that I may like. She never ever made me feel uncomfortable or that I was wasting her time like I had felt in some other bridal shops. It was a wonderful experience and both of my sisters have told me that they want to get their dresses from here also.
Great Selection Including Plus-Size, Friendly StaffReviewed on 3/31/2013 Cheryl F
Aurora's has hands down one of the biggest bridal gown selection in Brevard county. They have the biggest plus size selection too with about two dozen dresses ranging from size 14 to 28. It was wonderful to be able to actually try dresses on, even though I ended up buying a... Read More dress that I couldn't try. Because I tried on a dress in my size with a similar shape I was confident ordering my dress without trying it on first. The staff was always friendly and very helpful. The alterations were done very well, and I managed to keep my bustle intact through the whole evening. They are notorious for breaking, but she did a great job securing it.
The most beautiful gowns are HERE !Reviewed on 3/05/2013 cheryl w
Absolutly beautiful gowns are sold at this location ! love love love the fact that they hold the dress for you up until your big day !!!!! Everything was good here from service to my appt's :)
Found THE ONE hereReviewed on 1/19/2013 Maricell R
I had less than 3 months before my wedding day when I found out the plans with my original dress fell through. I knew the brands I wanted to try on and I knew I had to go to a store with a large selection. I emailed and got a response from Cami to come in that Saturday and she... Read More had kept in mind the dresses I inquired about. She was very nice and knowledgeable. She picked out a dress I didn't think would look great on me and it was the first one I tried on and fell absolutely in love with. We picked a few others that I tried on but they did not compare. I was so happy she suggested it, she really does know what she's doing. The alterations specialist at the bridal shop did a great job at a very reasonable price.

I didn't have any centering issues on my iPhone, my only observation is that the galleries took about a minute to load before I could see any picture, and the title image changed about half way before the full image could load. I don't think it recognizes the difference between a phone and a computer so I'm getting the full large image file instead of an iPhone size one, this is great for zooming in, but can be annoying for scrolling.

I related the incident to other important times in my life (my father suffered a massive stroke which destroyed our family unit). For the most part, my PS was a chronological map of my life indicating how I evolved from the Master's program and to veterinary medicine; and why I want to be a vet. I had EVERYONE read it (and I am shy about my writing). Most people told me it pulled at heartstrings, but not in a negative way. Not sure if this is the best route only because PS should not be romantic writing. But it worked for a me a bit, while keeping it practical and straight forward (character space was a HUGE problem for a while). Also, I started EARLY and spent many many months writing it. I can't thank everyone enough for being so supportive and for believing in me - when I didn't believe in myself. I feel SO fortunate for the friends, family, all the doctors that allowed me to follow them around endlessly and the professors that believed in me. And especially thank you to ALLLLLLL of you for listening to the ranting, raving and being so supportive with the first rejection to the first acceptance

And we're not talking about SHE-HULK'S super-charged battle with ZZZAX! No, this is what happens after-- when she finally realizes who blasted her cousin into space! Get ready for havoc on the Helicarrier when Jen finally learns… "They shoot Hulks, don't they?"She-Hulk and the Hulkbuster division of S.H.I.E.L.D. continue their search for the missing Hulk and fighting any of his enemies that they come across. They have recently captured the U-Foes and ZZZax. The captured villains are being kept and studied by Dr. Gaffer for Project: Achilles.Director Tony Stark is ready for a debrief as Agent Quartermain prepare to meet with him. Stark would rather debrief She-Hulk instead as a candle-lit table is seen in the other room. (It seems the place has been rebuilt after the Punisher blew the place up). The villains laugh at her and Two-Gun comes to her "rescue." Mallory knows she needs to do something really big to win back their respect.Below, at Project: Achiles, it appears that ZZZax has escaped from his zzzax box and has entered the helicarrier's computers.At Timely Plaza, Mallory Book is upset that her affair with Awesome Andy is all over the paper. She wants to sue them because she has lost face and her clients do not respect her. She plans on trying to win over her clients I(even though they are supervillains).In Stark's quarters, he and She-Hulk lie in bed. She asks how he can sleep around and people just call him a player but if she does it, she's called a skank. Just then, there is a security breech and the helicarrier's lasers begin shooting all over the room. She-Hulk blocks the blasts from hitting Stark as he tries to get dressed and calls forth his armor.The helicarrier's defense attacks are all over. Even Agent Cheesecake, being an LMD, cannot help but attack her fellow agents. As Iron Man deals with attacking hovercars, Nick Fury grabs She-Hulk's arm to take her with him. It turns out to be an LMD as She-Hulk finds herself in a room full of them.Back in New York City, Mallory Books goes the the No Name Bar to talk to her former villain clients along with Two-Gun.On the helicarrier, after the villains being studied in Project: Achilles were released, it appears that the project is a success. Dr. Gaffer and his scientists have managed to subdue them.As Iron Man tries to take control of the helicarrier so it doesn't crash, She-Hulk figures out how to capture Zzzax. She knows that Zzzax will go towards Iron Man and is able to re-capture him in a fixed zzzax box.As everyone tries to regain their bearings, a head from a Nick Fury LMD begins reciting recent data files. She is shocked to hear a recording addressing "Bruce" mentioning a launch.

First off, my DS never falls asleep if I put him down awake or even drowsy. He has to be completely asleep before I can put him down.
The thing is, it takes forever to get him to fall asleep. It just took me an hour to put him down before. I swaddled and rocked and swayed with him until he finally fell asleep. He was definitely tired since he was yawning and his eyes were droopy but he just kept fussing and grunting until he finally gave in.
I've been trying to get him more into a day/night routine by making sure he doesn't go more than 3 hours between feedings during the day (he normally goes 2-3 on his own) and having some awake time after feedings before letting him go back to sleep but sometimes it takes so long for him to go back to sleep that he's hungry again.
During the nights, I try to feed him before he gets too fussy and is still sleepy so he goes back down pretty easily but there are some nights when he'll end up wide awake and it takes me forever to get him back to sleep.
Anyone else?

The Košice program of the first postwar coalition government contained a third objective beyond the expulsion of the hostile minorities and Allied Army withdrawals. It called for nationalization of heavy industries, insurance, and the banks; in short, of the largescale enterprises that had been expropriated without compensation by the Reich or by the puppet governments following the 1939 Nazi occupation. Government ownership and operation seemed the most expedient means of restoring the country from its wartime disruptions and expropriations. The countryside lay near ruin as a consequence of the wholesale deportations of loyal Czechs to Germany, either for slave labor or merely to free the land for displaced Germans, who were moved in. "State administration" was the euphemism employed to render nationalization more palatable, especially to the British and American interests involved. Compensation invariably accompanied the program to ease its acceptance, at a fair value to be negotiated.
At the turn of the year 1946, conditions still bordered on hunger. Food supplies were observed by British Ambassador Philip Nichols to be "a matter of serious concern" even if "the rations of the Czech people... though fairly well distributed and adequate to maintain life [were] far from lavish. They [were] particularly short in fats." Meat was also in short supply, and "due partly to Russian requisitioning, vegetables were scarce." There was "plenty of flour and potatoes, and an exportable surplus of sugar," but "the food situation during the winter present[ed] serious problems."1
"A majority of the population remains always near the edge of hunger," continued Nichols. In the winter cold, "any slight cut of

Welcome to our blog dedicated to the engineering of Microsoft Windows 7
Back in January we released the Beta and updated you on our overall engineering process that will get us from Beta to the Release Candidate. Today, downloading of the Release Candidate started and we're already seeing a lot of installations and a lot of excitement. On behalf of the team, I want to extend a thank you for all of the millions of people who have been running and testing the Beta who have helped to make the Release Candidate possible. The feedback we have received, through all the mechanisms we have blogged about, has been an incredibly valuable part of Engineering Windows 7. We continue to be humbled by the response to Windows 7. Thank you!
This post is about the path from RC to what we call RTM, release to manufacturing. RTM is not one point in time but a "process" as from RTM we enable the PC manufacturers to begin their processes of building Windows 7 images for new PCs, readying downloads for existing machines, and preparing the full supply chain to deliver Windows 7 to customers. Thus RTM is the final stage in our engineering of Windows 7, but the engineering continues from RTM until you can purchase Windows 7 and Windows 7 PCs in stores at General Availability, or GA.
The path to RTM starts with downloads of the RC. The RC is "done" and what we are doing is validating this against the breadth of the ecosystem and with partners. It means, from our perspective, we have run many tests many times and are working to understand the quality of the release in a breadth sense. We're all familiar with this as we have done this same thing as we went from pre-Beta to Beta and from Beta to RC. The primary difference with the RC is that we will not be changing the functionality or features of the product at this point—that's the sort of thing we'll save for a future release. We've gotten tons of feedback on design and features and shown how we have digested and acted on this feedback throughout many posts on this blog. We know we did not do everything that was asked, and we have also seen that we've been asked to do things that are tricky to reconcile. We hoped through the dialog on this blog that we've shown our commitment to listening and balancing a wide variety of inputs, and how we have thought about the evolution of Windows.
What sort of feedback are we looking for in the RC? We are primarily focused on monitoring the behavior of the product through the telemetry, and of course making sure we did not introduce any regressions in any dimension from Beta quality. One of the things we have done since Beta has continued to beef up telemetry—we've put in additional monitoring points in many systems. We're particularly interested in seeing what devices are installed, drivers that are required, and overall system performance. We have telemetry points that monitor the UI responsiveness of the Start Menu, Internet Explorer (recently posted), Boot, Shutdown, Resume, and across all subsystems. Of course in the final product, this telemetry is optional and opt-in, and it is always private.
There are a series of specific types of reports that we are keeping an eye out for that would constitute changes we would make to the code between now and RTM. Some of these might include:
All of the feedback will be evaluated and whether the issue is with Windows itself or with hardware, software, or OEM partner code we will work closely across the entire ecosystem to do what is necessary to deliver excellent fully integrated PCs. This goal is more important than anything else at this point. The depth of this work is new for the team in terms of spending engineer to engineer time across a broad range of partners to make sure everyone is ready together to deliver a great PC experience.
Overall, while many have said that the quality of the Beta was on par with past RCs (remember how some even suggested we release it as final!), we are working to do an even better job with Windows 7. We think we have the tools in place to do that.
While the RC itself was compiled about 2 weeks ago, it takes a bit of time to go through the mechanics of validating all the ISOs and images that are released. In the meantime we continue doing daily builds of the product. The daily builds are incorporating code changes to address the above types of issues that impact enough customers that on balance the code change is more valuable than the potential of a regression. Throughout this process, every change to the code is looked at by many people across development and test, and across many different teams. We have a lot of engineers changing a very little bit of code. We often say that shipping a major product means "slowing everything down". Right now we're being very deliberate with every change we make.
The RTM milestone is not a date, but a process. As that process concludes, we are done changing the code and are officially "servicing" Windows 7. That means any subsequent changes are delivered as fixes (KB articles) or banked for the first service pack. Obviously our ability to deliver fixes via Windows Update has substantially changed the way we RTM and so it is not unreasonable to expect updates soon after the product is complete as we have done for both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Between now and the RTM milestone we will make changes to the code in response the above inputs. We are decelerating and will do so "gracefully" and not abruptly. We do not have a "deadline" we are aiming to meet and the quality (in all dimensions) of the product and a smooth finish are the most important criteria for Windows 7. In addition, we have a lot of work going on behind the scenes to build Windows 7 in nearly 100 languages around the world and to make sure all the supporting materials such as our Windows web site, SDK, resource kits, and so on are ready and available in a timely manner.
Once we have entered the RTM phase, our partners will begin to make their final images and manufacture PCs, and hardware and software vendors will ready their Windows 7 support and new products. We will also begin to manufacture retail boxes for shipment around the world. We will continue to work with our enterprise customers as well and based on the RTM process the volume license products will be available as well.
Delivering the highest quality Windows 7 is the most important criteria for us at this point—quality in every dimension. The RTM process is designed to be deliberate and maintain the overall engineering integrity of the system. Many are pushing us to release the product sooner rather than later, but our focus remains on a high quality release.
Ultimately our partners will determine when their PCs are available in market. If the feedback and telemetry on Windows 7 match our expectations then we will enter the final phases of the RTM process in about 3 months. If we are successful in that, then we tracking to our shared goal of having PCs with Windows 7 available this Holiday season.

The firsth thing I disliked about the RC was the background image of the Welcome screen/Login screen. (the one with the flower and the bird). The Beta background was much better and had a professional style.
Please change it back.
@Steven and team,
First off, job well done! The beta process was fun and I, along with many others, provided feedback that was treated pretty fairly as the beta went along. It was apparent you guys were listening to us and responding through this blog. Were some requests deferred to never never land and some closed with easy answers like "by design"? Sure, but they were really just wish list stuff and I understand the reasons based on your explanations in this blog.
The testing I have done on the RC thus far is going great and it just feels "rock solid" to me. I have loaded it (clean) on three computers and have not found any major issues. Every single hardware device and application I normally run on a daily basis continue to work as they did on Vista or they work better. Performance overall is very good (both x86 and x64). Confidence is high. I am looking forward, with eager anticipation, for the RTM availability.
The folks on your team deserve a nice big bonus when this product gets out the door. I plan to purchase my copy at GA for sure, because if ever a program product deserved a high ROI, it's definitely Windows 7.
Walt Guimbellot (Windows enthusiast since Windows 3.11)
I forgot to ask my main question. You stated that changes to RC will be reflected and made available to RC evaluators via Windows Update service. I have seen one of those come down already. Does that mean we should be less interested in acquiring a "leak" of the RTM builds, since important stuff will come via WU or Microsoft Update? I know hundreds of thousands of the die hard testers were getting the pre-RC builds via leaks. Not that I condon leaks per se, but they were very irresistible at the time and provided you guys some extra telemetry data. :)
Steven and Jon,
First of all, congrats to the entire Windows 7 team on the RC. I have taken the liberty of doing a clean installation on my main destop's second hard drive. I will use the Windows 7 RC as my primary operating system until I have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate RTM in my hands. The clean look, the speed, the responsiveness, and overall performance is very impressive.
I was so impressed with the working version of the Release Candidate, I took the liberty of applying the Release Candidate to my notebook. I was having instabilities with Vista after the installation of I.E. 8. After uninstalls and reinstalls, it didn't resolve those situations. So I elected to backup and save all materials, and try Windows 7 RC. To my delight, it worked like a charm. The sheer speed and responsiveness is nothing like I ever had with Vista or its default OS, Windows XP Home Edition.
Needless to say, I'm overjoyed at the quality. I had to ask myself using the Windows 7 RC, "This is a Microsoft product?" While I don't mean to offend, the quality level here is higher than any Microsoft product I've ever used. You guys have definitely set the bar higher and I hope all of Microsoft strives for this new level.
I know that at the RC point, the Windows 7 team is looking for showstopper bugs. However, will there be any effort to make any last minute performance improvements? Less memory, less cpu demand, faster OS speed, faster GUI speed, better network copying, etc?
A final improvement in these areas that could be quantifiable would definitely be a nice selling point.
P.S. If Steven, Jon or somebody could clarify this. Paul Thurrott has published some pictures concerned with the packaging. Can someone clarify if these are genuine or fake boxes? Thanks.
Please please release separate editions (separate x86, x84 and IA64) of WAIK, Windows SDK and the Windows Driver Kit. Downloading IA64 bits over a slow connection when it is absolutely of no use to me is a PITA. Please at least separate IA64 since that is a niche platform.
Thanks for the very nice words.
We aren't going to make all the change we make available over Windows Update. We are just testing things out and of course any changes that would be deemed critical in a released product will be distributed (i.e. security issues).
As we always say, please do not use what are reported to be "leaked" builds. So far many of them have contained risky payloads.
I am not sure that your testers whether told about 'automatically cleaning System Restore points' or not, and also I am not that in Windows 7 RC, it still have this feature or not because I did not test storing data up to near maximum of harddisk. But if it still have, I think you should remove this feature from Windows 7 RTM because, for example, many users want to use System Restore to roll back computer back to good state, but they may found that their System Restore points were removed automatically!! Thanks
I really, really hope that your marketing people are getting the message LOUD AND CLEAR that they need to give something substantial back to those of us who purchased Vista. Microsoft will seriously alienate us if it follows the usual practice of having a single upgrade price regardless of current version.
There must be a good case, given Vista's troubled history, for a "handling charge only" upgrade from Vista to 7, but failing that, there must be Vista-only upgrade pricing which is substantially lower than upgrading from XP or earlier.
Windows 7 is shaping up great in engineering terms, but there is still an opportunity for your marketing people to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" if they are just running on autopilot here!
Please fix the sort order for Explorer before RTM. By default, it should sort in Ascending order. Currently, even if it's Ascending order, sorting by any criteria such as size, date modified or type makes it sort by that criteria as well as reverse the order (becomes descending) when in fact the user just expected the sort criteria to change. This is a major annoyance and I request the team to fix it before RTM. There is already a Sort by Ascending/Descending menu item, why should then the sort order change by changing sort criteria? Please don't say this behavior is by design, it's an oversight/bug that needs to be fixed. Anyone listening?
I wonder how this product will compete headon with Windows XP which is still sitting strong at 60%+ market share.
Please, bring back the folder.jpg trick. I have thousands of folders tagged with folder.jpg's inside so I can have a custom thumbnail.
folder.jpg is supposed to be used for creating a cover thumbnail for a folder *without* needing to go to the folder's customize tab. This functionality has been present since Windows XP and worked correctly in build 7000 (Beta). So, it's clearly a regression.
So far I've been really enjoying Windows 7 RC. Great, GREAT work team! =]
Great job on W7 so far, I am a lot more positive and much more inclined to recomend this than vista when that was in beta.
The only real problem that I have had installing the RC was that it did not include the Ralink RT2500 Wireless LAN drivers, this is obviously a real pain as I can manage without most drivers as long as I can get onto the inet to download them.
I know that RT2500 is old tech now but it was very popular when released so I feel that it would be worth the extra few kb to include it.
Windows 7 is almost perfect for me. You are doing a really good job with this system.
But, before the RTM, can you please, just tweak a few points in Windows Explorer?
1) In windows xp, the status bar showed the left space of the current drive/partition, and the size of the files in the current folder. Now, it doesn´t show anymore, and I (among others) miss this feature a lot.
2) If we select more than 15 files in Windows Explorer, the Details Pane stop showing the sizes and info. We have to click the "Show more details" to it be visible. Please, remove this behaviour, or give us a option (even if registry option) to disable it. XP used to give me this information in less than a millisecond, and with a decade ago hardware.
If this is tweaked, using Explorer will be much better for me.
Thanks a lot!
Oh! And I almost forgot!
3) Please, let us disable the Autoarrange feature, it is really annoyng sometimes!
And thanks for the feedback! Keep the good work!
im liking window 7 a lot, its my main os :D
one thing that bugs me are the graphical Inconsistencies throughout the gui
like this one
it really gets to me :P
hope you guy iron out issues like this before window 7 is release
good job guys.
I'd love to submit this as a formal bug, but I'm not sure where to do that anymore.
In RC1 on my laptop, switching to S-Video out was a bit tricksy, but managed to work. However, on return back to my normal display, my taskbar icons were missing, though the orb/outlines were still intact. Clicking on the taskbar restores the icons, but they sometimes disappear again. A reboot, I anticipate, will solve the issue, but I tend to sleep instead of rebooting.
Otherwise, everything looks and runs fantastically.
My remaining issue:
Please, please, PLEASE allow me to view details/column headers in NON-details mode. This is something that was introduced in Vista and its disappearance is absolutely tragic. I use it everyday, specifically to quickly sort thumbnail-view folders by date modified--making those columns display only in details mode is a disservice, and I'm not sure why we've regressed here.
Finally, Chrome & other similar multi-threaded, similarly-titled processes tend to freak out the taskbar merging--multiple Chrome windows, including those spawned originally as "web application shortcuts" tend to group randomly to one of the three Chrome pinned items I have.
Other than that, fantastic all around.

From FPDS-NG
What's reported to FPDS-NG?
Contracts whose estimated value is $3,000 or more or that may be $3,000 or more. Every modification to that contract, regardless of dollar value must be reported to FPDS-NG.
If I have a BPA or IDIQ with no money obligated on it do I need to report to FPDS-NG?
Yes. In order for the BPA call or orders to be entered into FPDS-NG the instrument they are placed against (i.e., the BPA or IDIQ) must first be entered into FPDS-NG.
Are grants and cooperative agreements reported to FPDS-NG?
What can be reported to FPDS-NG?
Agencies will report on all contract actions using appropriated funds as specified in FAR 4.6. AbilityOne (formerly JWOD Nonprofit Agency or Sheltered Workshop awards) and UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries) awards are reportable as they are not interagency agreements.
Below is a partial list of types of awards reportable to FPDS-NG. See FAR 4.606 for the full list. Agencies will report unclassified information on all contract actions using appropriated funds including, but not limited to, those made:
- With replenishable stock and revolving funds
- With appropriated funds transferred from one executive agency to another where the servicing agency contracts for the supplies or services
- With appropriated funds obligated pursuant to the provisions of PL 85-804
- By one agency to another
- For supplies and equipment
- For construction, alteration or maintenance of real property
- For services, including research and development and Utilities
- AbilityOne (formerly JWOD Nonprofit Agency or Sheltered Workshop awards)
- Telecommunications from regulated carriers; and
- Federal Prison Industries, i.e. UNICOR awards (orders from GSA stock for UNICOR products are not reportable)
- Agencies will report all contract actions made with funds held in trust accounts for foreign governments or procurements for foreign governments regardless of the nature of the funds. (The term "foreign governments include international organizations.)
What is not reported to FPDS-NG?
Agencies shall not report:
- Financial assistance actions e.g. grants, cooperative agreements, subsidies, and contributions except for those Agencies who have a special module to accumulate information on these types of actions.
- Imprest fund transactions, SF 44 purchases, training authorizations, and micro-purchases obtained through the use of the government purchase card. The term "micro-purchase" has the same meaning as set forth in FAR 2.101.
- Interagency agreements with other federal agencies (e.g. Tennessee Valley Authority), independent federal establishments (e.g. Export/Import Bank of the US), or federally chartered sources (e.g. Howard University or the Smithsonian Institution).
- Government Bills of Lading and Government Transportation Requests.
- Actions using predominantly non-appropriated funds, except pursuant to funds held in trust accounts mentioned.
- FEDSTRIP and MILSTRIP requisitions.
- Actions involving transfer of supplies within and among agencies and sub-agencies.
- Orders from GSA Stock and GSA Consolidated Purchase Program.
Additionally, both civilian agencies and DoD will not report actions for petroleum or petroleum products ordered against a Defense Logistics Agency Indefinite Delivery Contract.
What is FPDS-NG not designed to collect?
The following data elements will not be found in FPDS-NG. Contracting officers can't put this information in FPDS-NG even if they want to. Most of this data resides at the individual contracting office.
- Subcontracting data from either the government or the prime contractors with whom we do business. The government does have a method to collect this data at www.esrs.gov. The two data sources work together.
- Contract funding data outside of estimated totals and funds obligated on an action.
- Contract accounting data.
- Contract line item data is not in FPDS-NG. This includes specific information about the CLIN. There is no NAICS information at the CLIN level, no CLIN description, no CLIN funding data, and no appropriation data at the CLIN level.
- No administration details including contracting officer's technical representative names, wage determinations data, and details about the services via the contract number.
- Details of the contractor's employee or staffing levels.
- Management plans.
- Statements of work or objectives.
- Terms and conditions of a contract.
- Deliverables.
- Entitlement expenditures including health, drug, Medicare, or insurance payouts. However, contracts about the management of these programs are required to be submitted.
- Contractor proposals from the awardee or any other interested party.
- Information about any parties excluded from the procurement.
What are federal departments and agencies doing to assure that the data they submit to FPDS-NG are as accurate as possible?
At the direction of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), GSA requires an annual certification be complement by each department/agency that states the completeness and accuracy percentages of their data contained in the FPDS-NG
Can I obtain the entire contract file from FPDS-NG? If not, where can I get that information?
No. FPDS-NG contains summary level information about the contract. You must contact the Contracting Officer for information about the contract file, proposals, etc. and reference the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Where can I see each of the items that were purchased on a contract?
We refer to this level of detail as the "contract line item" or the "contract line item number" (CLIN) data. CLIN data is not reported to FPDS-NG. Usually CLIN data is available to the public through a formal FOIA request made to the contracting officer.
What if I forget my user ID?
Contact the support desk.
What if I forget my password?
Use the forgotten password function on the Log In screen.
What if I get locked out after 5 unsuccessful attempts at logging in?
Contact your Department or Agency FPDS-NG System Administrator.
Should I report purchase card buys to FPDS-NG?
Any purchase card buy over the mircopurchase threshold requires a procurement instrument, and per the Federal Acquisition Regulations, any procurement action over the micro-purchase threshold must be reported to FPDS-NG. Therefore, yes you would need to report purchase card buys over the micro-purchase threshold to FPDS-NG.
What does "Purchase Card Used as Method of Payment" mean?
The order or contract provides for payments to the contractor to be made through the use of the purchase card. These are "charges" backed by a contract vehicle. It allows the government and the contractor to avoid the use of expensive invoices. A purchase card used for an amount over the micro-purchase threshold automatically becomes a method of payment.
What's the difference between FPDS-NG and USASpending.gov?
FPDS-NG provides procurement data to USASpending.gov. USASpending.gov contains information about procurements, grants, loans.
Why is the data different in USASpending.gov?
USASpending.gov is not currently pulling procurement data from FPDS-NG in real time. USASpending.gov is updated with FPDS-NG data on a nightly basis.
Where does vendor information come from?
All vendor information comes from the SAM unless there is a SAM exception that applies. The URL for SAM is www.sam.gov.
What is the SAM?
The System for Award Management (SAM) is a Federal Government owned and operated free web site that consolidates the capabilities in CCR/FedReg, ORCA, and EPLS. Future phases of SAM will add the capabilities of other systems used in Federal procurement and awards processes.
If a vendor is in SAM, does ALL vendor information then come from SAM?
All vendor name, address and socioeconomic data come from the SAM. The only exception is the Contracting Officer's Determination of Business Size which is either entered by the person entering the contract or is propagated to a modification from the base contract or propagated from the referenced IDV in the case of a Delivery/Task order or BPA Call.
What if my contractor is not in the SAM?
Per Federal Acquisition Regulations the vendor must be registered in SAM. Please see FAR 4.1102 for exceptions. A vendor must be registered in SAM if your solicitation contains the SAM clause. If your solicitation contains the SAM clause then see FAR 4.1103 for steps that must be taken if your vendor is not registered in SAM. DUNS numbers are still required for any vendor, even if they are not registered in SAM.
My contractor is a foreign vendor so they don't need to register in SAM, correct?
No. FAR 4.1102(a)(5) states that this exemption only applies to awards made to foreign vendors where the place of performance is outside the United States, AND if it is impractical to obtain SAM registration
I see the vendor entry in SAM but I can't find this same vendor when I do a contractor search in FPDS-NG while entering my contract. Why?
First ensure that the DUNS number entered is correct.If it is correct find out if the vendor has just registered in SAM or just completed an update of vendor data in SAM. You should also check to see if the vendor's record in SAM has expired.
What is a valid reason for a SAM exception?
The reasons outlined in the FAR are:
- Purchases that use a government-wide commercial purchase card as both the purchasing and payment mechanism, as opposed to using the purchase card only as a payment method
- Classified contracts (see FAR 2.101) when registration in the SAM database, or use of SAM data, could compromise the safeguarding of classified information or national security
- Deployed contracting officers in the course of military operations, including, but no limited to, contingency operations as defined in 10 U.S.C. 101(a)(13) or humanitarian or peacekeeping operations as defined in 10 U.S.C. 2302(7)
- Contracting Officers in the conduct of emergency operations, such as responses to natural or environmental disasters or national or civil emergencies, e.g., Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121)
- Contracts to support unusual or compelling needs (see 6.302-2)
- Awards made to foreign vendors for work performed outside the United States, and if it is impractical to obtain SAM registration
- Micro-purchases that do not use the electronic funds transfer (EFT) method for payment and are not required to be reported (see subpart 4.6).
What if I can't disclose who the vendor is?
Please contact your FPDS-NG Agency System Administration who handles FPDS-NG related issues.
What is a DUNS number?
DUNS is short for "Data Universal Numbering System number." This is a number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities, .
When creating a Delivery\Task order or a BPA call what is the source of the vendor/socioeconomic information that populates the fields?
When creating an award such as a Delivery/Task Order or a BPA Call which references an IDV, the vendor name and address and the vendor's socioeconomic information is propagated from the IDV. The same process of propagating the vendor information from an IDV applies to a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) that references a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS).
I am entering a modification to a definitive contract. Where does the vendor information for the current modification come? Is it from the base contract or the latest modification?
The vendor information for your current modification comes from the base contract UNLESS you had previously entered a modification where the reason for modification is vendor-related such as vendor address change, vendor DUNS change, novation, rerepresentation or rerepresentation of non-novated merger/acquisition. In those situations the vendor information would pull from that modification.
My vendor has been taken over by another company. How can I change the vendor information for my contract?
Please reference FAR 42.12 to determine if this truly is a novation situation. If this is a novation situation and you have executed a modification reflecting the novation then simply report that modification to FPDS-NG and select novation as the reason for modification
The vendor address information has changed. How can I change only the vendor address for my contract?
A vendor address change would require a modification to the contract. Once executed you would enter the modification information into FPDS-NG using Vendor Address Change as the reason for modification
The DUNS number for my contractor has changed but not other vendor information and per FAR 42.12 this is not a Novation situation. How do I change just the DUNS number?
A modification to the contract would be need to executed and then reported to FPDS-NG using Vendor DUNS change as a reason for modification.
What if the vendor information is not correct in FPDS-NG?
Vendor information in FPDS-NG reflects the vendor as it was at the time of the contract award. A contract awarded to a company ten years ago will reflect the company socio-economic status as of 10 years ago unless a modification was executed to update this information. If this a new contract, check SAM to ensure if the information is correct.. If this is a Deliver\Task Order or BPA Call the vendor information will populate from the vehicle you are ordering against (i.e., the IDV or BPA). If the vendor information is not correct in SAM you need to contact the vendor and request that they correct their data. If the data is coming from a referenced IDV you should contact the Contracting Officer for that IDV.
Two contracts are using the same DUNS number yet the vendor information is different. Why?
Vendor information in FPDS-NG is based on when the contract was awarded.A contract awarded last year will contain vendor information as of last year.The same vendor may have updated their information in SAM since that contract award and that updated information will appear on any contracts entered into FPDS-NG.
I need all the contract information associated with a particular vendor. How do I get that?
Go to Standard Reports, select WHO and select the Contractor Search Report. This report displays all contracts awarded to a particular vendor for a one year period. ezSearch is another tool that provides vendor information. Click on Advanced Search, select the vendor name field or the vendor DUNS number and retrieve summary information for the last 5 years or all years depending on the tab you select.
Does each modification reflect current SAM information?
No. Vendor socio-economic data appears in FPDS-NG as it did at the time of the award. On a Delivery\Task Order, BPA Call or BPA referencing another IDV the vendor information pulls from the IDV being referenced and reflects the vendor status as of the award of that vehicle. (Vendor socio-economic information will only be updated if a modification for re-representation, novation, or a non-novated acquisition\merger is entered)
I awarded a contract two months ago and my vendor just got a socio-economic certification (Service Disabled Veteran, 8(a).Etc.Is it OK for me to go back and update the vendor information or request that this information be updated so that my agency can receive small business goaling credit for this vendor?
No. The vendor information in FPDS-NG reflects the vendor's status at the time of the award. The contract was awarded when the vendor rerepresented (in ORCA or through Section K Representations and Certification) themselves as having certain socio-economic statuses and that is what is required to be reported to FPDS-NG.
A report I ran shows what I believe to be a large business as small, this must be an error correct?
Not necessarily. Small business determinations are not based on just the company name. A seemingly large company may actually be deemed small by the Small Business Administration in certain industrial categories. A large IT company for example, may be considered a small business in clothing manufacture. The size determination is based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code used for the procurement in question and how a company represents itself in the Representations and Certifications to the government.
What is PBSA?
Performance-Based Service Acquisition (PBSA), formerly known as Performance-Based Service Contract (PBSC), is defined in FAR 37.601. PBSA applies if the contract:
- Describes the requirements in terms of results required rather than the methods of performance of the work
- Uses measurable performance standards (i.e., terms of quality, timeliness, quantity, etc.) and quality assurance surveillance plans (see 46.103(a) and 46.401(a))
- Specifies procedures for reductions of fee or for reductions to the price of a fixed-price contract when services are not performed or do not meet contract requirements (see 46.407) and
- Includes performance incentives where appropriate.
For PBSA to apply what percent of work must meet the PBSA requirements as defined in FAR 37.601?
For FPDS-NG reporting purposes for FY2005 and later a minimum of 50% of the requirements under the procurement action must meet the above FAR standards. For FPDS-NG reporting purposes for FY 2004 and prior, a minimum of 80% of the requirements under the procurement action must meet the FAR standards.
How do I know if I may have a contract where PBSA applies?
See FAR 37.6.
How can I find performance-based contracts?
The Performance Based Acquisition Report is a standard FPDS-NG report found under the HOW category. It displays actions, dollars and percentages for performance based acquisition for a specified date range. The report can be run government-wide or a department, agency, and/or contracting office may be specified. The report's appendix, located at the bottom of the report, specifies what information is used to create the report and what information is excluded.
Who determines what is included in the PBSA report and what isn't?
The Office of Management and Budget's Office of Procurement Policy oversees the report requirements. Questions concerning the report requirements or PBSA policy should be directed to the Office of Procurement Policy.
What is Administrative Transfer?
Administrative Transfer Action is a reason for modification which is meant to be used when one Department or Agency transfers a contract to another. It is not intended for transfers between offices. Admin Transfer privileges are distributed via the Agency System Administrator.
NOTE: BEFORE any transfer of contracts both agencies must meet to ensure that the data already entered into FPDS-NG is accurate and complete prior to transfer.
What steps are required for the transferring agency?
- The transferring agency will create a modification and selects Transfer Action as the Reason for Modification
- The transferring agency will change the contracting office agency ID and contracting office ID to reflect the agency that will be receiving the contract
- Once the Contract Action Report (CAR) has been approved an e-mail is automatically sent to the transferring agency's system administrator
NOTE: The transferring agency can no longer act on the record (i.e., no corrections, no new information can be entered). The transferring agency retains Small Business goaling credit (if they were the funding agency) for all work up to the point of the transfer
What steps are required for the receiving agency?
- The receiving agency System Administrator will receive an e-mail notifying them of the transfer
- The receiving agency can proceed with whatever the next modification is (could be change PIID, could be additional funding, etc.)
- The first modification after transfer will open almost every field on the contract action report but the data that is transferred with the CAR should not be changed. Only unique agency specific fields (DoD and NASA) not available previously should be completed.
NOTE: The receiving agency cannot correct information previously input by transferring agency. The receiving will receive Small Business goaling credit (if they are the funding agency) for all work after the point of the transfer.
What is Change PIID?
Change PIID is a reason for modification. It is a new user privilege only supplied to the Department System Administrator. If an agency has created a modification that changes the contract PIID they would use this reason for modification when entering data into FPDS-NG. The change PIID reason for modification allows the user to change the PIID, the PIID agency code or both. Change PIID can only be used once through the duration of the contract.
What happens when entering a modification where the reason for modification is Change PIID?
- When Change PIID reason for modification is selected, the PIID or the PIID agency code or both must be changed and the validation rules for change PIID will fire.
- The following fields are available for editing and at the very least the PIID or the PIID Agency code must be changed:
- PIID Agency code
- Modification Number
- Date Signed
- Contracting Officer Agency ID
- Contracting Officer
- Effective Date
NOTE: Once approved the new PIID will change on every existing contract action report in FPDS-NG, regardless of the date signed. An IDV referenced by numerous Delivery\Task Orders that has a PIID change will see that PIID change on all the Delivery\Task Orders.
How can I locate an old PIID?
The user cannot search on the OLD PIID. The old PIID will display as "Other Award ID" or "Other IDV ID" on the screen when doing an advanced search.
What is Re-representation?
See FAR 19.301.
What happens in FPDS-NG when reporting an action where the reason for modification is Rerepresentation, Non-novated acquisition and merge, or Novation?
If Rerepresentation or Non-novated acquisition or merger is chosen as the reason for modification then the vendor's socio-economic information is refreshed from SAM and the Contracting Officer's Determination of Size field is opened. A novation assumes the possibility of a rerepresentation and if that is selected as the reason for modification then the vendor field is opened for the user to enter the new DUNS and the CO Size's determination is opened.
Do I have to create a modification if the vendor's size status has not changed?
No you would have no changes to the terms and conditions of the contract so a modification would not be necessary and there would be no contract action to report to FPDS.
If I have a rerepresentation that means I should ask the vendor to submit a new subcontracting plan and should be able to change my answer to subcontracting plan in FPDS correct?
No. The terms and conditions of the contract have not changed as a result of the rerepresentation.
What is a Treasury Account Symbol (TAS)?
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act requires agencies to report the Program Source aka Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) for all contract actions involving funding to USASpending.gov. The Treasury Account Symbol is provided to FPDS on a weekly basis by the Department of Treasury see http://www.fms.treas.gov/fastbook/index.html. TAS are validated against the listing provided from the Department of Treasury. The Office of Management and Budget's guidance on reporting FFATA actions defines the TAS format as a two character agency code, four character account code, and the three character sub account code (if applicable).
Per OMB FFATA guidance dated March 6, 2008: Agencies shall immediately develop policies that establish the owner of the TAS at the finance office and instruct all contracting/assistance officers to accept purchase requests (PRs)/notices of awards/applications, only if they contain the predominant TAS applicable to the action clearly identified on the face of that document. In addition, agencies that obtain contract or grant assistance services from another agency or organization shall provide their TAS in compliance with the Transparency Act. The originating TAS must be a part of the funding agency's interagency agreement or RWA. The subsequent reporting of the action, shall be based on the funding agency's TAS not that of the contracting or grant-making agency.
How do I identify Recovery Act related procurement actions in FPDS-NG?
New Instructions for Identifying Recovery Act funded Awards in FPDS after July 10, 2010
These instructions represent a change from the instructions provided in OMB memorandum M-09-10, dated February 18, 2009.
If you use the web portal or a contract writing system combination GUI/Business Services, report all Recovery Act funded actions in FPDS as follows:
- Select American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ( code 'ARRA') in the Initiative field; and
- Input the Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) in the TAS fields provided.
Send the values for each of the following within 'listOfTreasuryAccounts' XML tag: "Treasury Account Symbol Agency Identifier", "Main Account Code", "Sub Account Code", and "Initiative".
If you use a contract writing system's Business Services only interface (i.e., you never see the FPDS input screens) and the contract writing system has certified to FPDS version 1.4, report all Recovery Act funded actions using your contract writing system and it will send the following information to FPDS fields:
- 'ARRA' in the Initiative field; and
- The Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) in the TAS fields.
NOTE:If you are trying to update the "Initiative" or "Treasury Account Symbol" fields through Business Services using the 'update' or 'correct' request:
Send the values for each of the following within 'listOfTreasuryAccounts' XML tag: "Treasury Account Symbol Agency Identifier", "Main Account Code", "Sub Account Code", and "Initiative".
What else should I know about Recovery Act related procurement reporting to FPDS-NG?
Agencies are required to review the Recovery Report posted on the www.fpds.gov website every day by 12 PM EST. Agencies should ensure that all entries are accurate, descriptions are provided and are clear, concise and in plain English, dates are correct, competition data elements and type of contract information match what was posted in Federal Business Opportunities, etc.
What is a funding agency\funding office?
The funding agency\funding office is the agency\office that has the requirement and provided the funding for that requirement which has now resulted in a contract award.
Is my finance office the funding agency\office?
No. The agency\office that developed the requirement and is using their money to fund the procurement is the funding agency\office.
Is there a report in FPDS-NG to identify all actions with subcontract plans?
There is currently no standard report to identify actions with subcontracting plans but users can create an ad hoc report to identify these records.
Why won't FPDS-NG let me fill in the Subcontracting Plan field?
There are certain procurement situations where a subcontracting plan is not required, see FAR 19.704.
What are the options for Subcontract Plan and what do they mean?
The FPDS-NG specifications are as follows. Any additional questions regarding why something is or is not appropriate for the action you are entering should be researched in the FAR.
- Plan Not Included – No Subcontracting Possibilities - A Subcontracting Plan was not included in the contract because subcontracting possibilities do not exist (FAR 19.705-2I)
- Plan Not Required – No Subcontracting Plan was required. (For example, the action did not meet the dollar thresholds in FAR 19.702(a))
- Plan Required (Pre 2004)
- Plan Required - Incentive Included – Includes a Subcontracting Plan and also includes additional incentives (FAR 19.702(a), FAR 19.708(c), and DFARS 219.708(c))
- Plan Required - Incentive Not Included – Includes a Subcontracting Plan, but does not include additional incentives (FAR 19.702(a) and FAR 19.708(c)).
Is there a way for FPDS-NG to track subcontract plan information?
No, the only data FPDS-NG collects is whether or not the action had a subcontract plan. Subcontracting plan details are tracked in the electronic subcontracting system called eSRS.
Does FPDS-NG interface with eSRS?
Yes. A contract action report that indicates that a subcontracting plan was required is sent to eSRS.
Why can't I enter/correct the Contracting Officer's Size Determination for a Delivery Order?
The CO size determination data element on a Delivery\Task Order is populated from the referenced IDV.
What resources do we have for deciding Contracting Officer's Size Determination?
ORCA – The Online Representations and Certifications Application, which allows vendors to enter Representations and Certifications once for use on all federal contracts. www.orca.bpn.gov
What is the Small Business Goaling Report?
Our government uses the Federal procurement process to encourage agencies to award contracts to small companies owned by women, veterans, and minorities, or located in economically challenged areas.The Small Business Administration (SBA) is responsible for setting goals for small business participation in Federal contracts. Each year the SBA works with each agency to set goals. The SBA submits an annual Small Business Goaling Report with achievements against the goals to Congress. The report is generated by FPDS-NG. The official Small Business Goaling Report is published on the SBA website, www.sba.gov.
Which agency gets small business goaling credit – the funding agency or the awarding agency?
The Funding Agency gets small business goaling credit. If your agency is buying on behalf of another agency you MUST enter the funding agency information.
What is 8(a) credit on the Small Business Goaling Report based on?
Type of Set-Aside used AND the Contracting Officers Size Determination
Does a Vendor having 8(a) socio-economic status automatically qualify my agency for SBA 8(a) goaling credit?
No. Small Business Goaling Credit for 8(a) is based on the type of Set-Aside selected and the Contracting Officer's Business Size Determination.
When should I select the Service Contract Act?
If you are purchasing services, and the value of the contract is > $2,500. (Check FAR 22.1003-3 for exemptions)
When would I select Walsh-Healy?
Walsh-Healy applies to contracts that:
- May exceed $10,000
- Is performed in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, AND
- Is for the manufacture or furnishing of materials, supplies, articles and equipment
Check FAR 22.604-1 for exemptions
When should I select Davis-Bacon?
If your contract is for construction, alteration of repair and is also over $2,000 then you most likely should select it. (Check FAR 22.402 for more information)
When should I select Clinger-Cohen?
When you are purchasing Information Technology
When does the Interagency Contracting Agreement field apply?
If you are buying on behalf of another agency.
What is the Fee for Use of IDV?
It is the fee paid to an IDV awarding agency for placing an order against that IDV.
What is the Fee for use of Service?
It is the administrative fee established by the awarding agency that will be charged when you place an order against an IDV. It is not charged for Federal Supply Schedules. (FSS)
What is appropriate for the "Description of Requirements" field?
Concise details regarding the purchase, in plain English. "Stuff" is not appropriate. No need for extreme detail – just a high level overview of the items or services bought in plain English.
What is the difference between a MOD and a CORRECT?
A Mod is used when there are changes to the contract terms and conditions.A Correct is used to correct typographical errors or other mistakes when entering data into FPDS-NG.
What is the difference between the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) and Product and Service Codes (PSC)? Why does FPDS-NG have both?
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) requires the use of NAICS by the Government. The NAICS classifies commercial activity into broad business categories, such as soybean farming, manufacturer, wholesaler, retail, and services. PSCs describe specific products and services which form the basis for national stock numbers. Both fields are required because statute requires some reports to be based on NAICS information, some on PSC information, and some, such as the Competitive Demonstration Program, must use both codes. It also helps narrow a search if we allow users to select what they want from two or three filters.
What does Place of Performance really mean?
The information is this field should reflect where the items will be produced, manufactured, mined, or grown or where the service will be performed. This field refers to the contractor's final manufacturing assembly point, processing plant, construction site, place where a service is performed, location of mines, or where the product is grown.
Women Owned Small Business\Economically Disadvantaged Women Owned Small Business Categories
There are four new Women Owned Small Business flags available in SAM:
- Women Owned Small Business
- Joint Venture Women Owned Small Business
- Economically Disadvantage Women Owned Small Business
- Joint Venture Economically Disadvantage Women Owned Small Business
Why don't these categories display on the Contract Action Report on screen?
Service Pack 10 was installed the weekend of April 4, 2011 to capture these data elements from SAM. The fields themselves will be stored in the FPDS database behind the scenes but they will not be displayed on the screen. Displaying these fields would have necessitated a version change of FPDS and required contract writing systems to change. Although a version change may be required in the future for the moment the fields will continue to be captured behind the scenes not be displayed on screen. These fields will also not be available via the FPDS web services for data retrieval. The fields WILL be available via the Atom Feeds, Standard and Ad Hoc reports.
Are there set asides for these new programs?
Yes, there are two Set Asides available in Version 1.4 beginning April 1, 2011. The new Set Asides are 'Women-Owned Small Business' and 'Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business'. In order to report a contract action using one of these set asides the vendor must have registered as a WOSB or EDWOSB or a joint venture of either category in SAM.
Where can I find out more information about the WOSB program?
For more information on the WOSB program please review FAR Subpart 19 or visit the Small Business Administration website: www.sba.gov.

I would like to know if taking the antibiotic clindamycin can this raise your blood pressure.
Can clindamycin elavate your bloodpressure? Pls help?

It shouldnt raise your blood pressure. I have checked several sources and none listed high blood pressure as a side effect. If you are finding that your blood pressure is becoming elevated you should notify your Dr. It is likely due to something other than the antibiotic.
I began taking clindamycin for a tooth problem and the next day my blood pressure went from my normal of 115/60 to 190/80. After that day of high readings, I stopped taking it and the following day it went down to 130's over 70. I also was awakened during the night with an urge to urinate which felt strange, like it didn't want to come out. I never had this experience before. I will not be taking this medication again.
Same here! Dentist gave it to me. Had a killer headache all day. tested my blood pressure and it's usually 120/80 and now its 145/90
i have been on clindamycin for two days and my bp is real high. my tooth and jaw are hurting and maybe some of the elavation is from that too but has to be the clindamycin. i also feel light headed and have headache. i feel lousy. stomach and bowel are upset too but that was listed as side effect.
My doctor put me on Clindamycin 150 for a sore on my leg. since then I cant sleep more that 2 hours all night, diarreaha, and now chest pains and blood pressure is 166/99 but my pulse is down... Like I am off it as of today.

Pathway-based outlier method reveals heterogeneous genomic structure of autism in blood transcriptome
1 Center for Biomedical Informatics, Harvard Medical School, 10 Shattuck Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA
2 Informatics Program, Children's Hospital Boston, 300 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA
3 Current address: Stanford Neuroscience Program, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305, USA
BMC Medical Genomics 2013, 6:34 doi:10.1186/1755-8794-6-34Published: 24 September 2013
Decades of research strongly suggest that the genetic etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is heterogeneous. However, most published studies focus on group differences between cases and controls. In contrast, we hypothesized that the heterogeneity of the disorder could be characterized by identifying pathways for which individuals are outliers rather than pathways representative of shared group differences of the ASD diagnosis.
Two previously published blood gene expression data sets – the Translational Genetics Research Institute (TGen) dataset (70 cases and 60 unrelated controls) and the Simons Simplex Consortium (Simons) dataset (221 probands and 191 unaffected family members) – were analyzed. All individuals of each dataset were projected to biological pathways, and each sample's Mahalanobis distance from a pooled centroid was calculated to compare the number of case and control outliers for each pathway.
Analysis of a set of blood gene expression profiles from 70 ASD and 60 unrelated controls revealed three pathways whose outliers were significantly overrepresented in the ASD cases: neuron development including axonogenesis and neurite development (29% of ASD, 3% of control), nitric oxide signaling (29%, 3%), and skeletal development (27%, 3%). Overall, 50% of cases and 8% of controls were outliers in one of these three pathways, which could not be identified using group comparison or gene-level outlier methods. In an independently collected data set consisting of 221 ASD and 191 unaffected family members, outliers in the neurogenesis pathway were heavily biased towards cases (20.8% of ASD, 12.0% of control). Interestingly, neurogenesis outliers were more common among unaffected family members (Simons) than unrelated controls (TGen), but the statistical significance of this effect was marginal (Chi squared P < 0.09).
Unlike group difference approaches, our analysis identified the samples within the case and control groups that manifested each expression signal, and showed that outlier groups were distinct for each implicated pathway. Moreover, our results suggest that by seeking heterogeneity, pathway-based outlier analysis can reveal expression signals that are not apparent when considering only shared group differences.

This compilation uses the Sensual Hypnosis technique of Directed Erotic Visualisation to take you into My Special Place, a place of leather bonds and dominance, sensual excess and overwhelming eroticism. What would it be like to feel the sensations of the singletail whip on your skin, the implacable pounding of a mechanical lover and the total control of a harsh loving Master? Directed Erotic Visualisation is designed to achieve just that in most cases. Here are what some women say: "I never thought anyone could cum without any physical stimulation whatsoever and just listening to this with my eyes closed I had two AMAZING orgasms. The tension between each was almost unbearable. And the voice was so seductive and alluring." There are three BDSM experiences in this volume that take you deep into the darker places of sexual experience. First there is a brief introduction to the Directed Erotic Visualisation method. The power of Directed Erotic Visualisation is in creating the very real feeling that you are there, having a most intimate and very personal experience. Read some reactions to the experiences. Singletail.
"This was incredibly erotic and intense. This session had me orgasming numerous times. I can't even put a number to it as I lost track! Not only that but I actually squirted each time, which is rare for me to do. I can't even begin to describe how incredible this experience was. Thank you!"
A 29 Minute BDSM experience including the use of a whip. Machine Sex. "Listening to this I became instantly turned on and soaking wet. Cum dripped from me and without any touch at all, just your voice; incredible. I came and squirted for the first time in my life. Amazing. The orgasm washed through my entire body until I was shaking and cumming, moaning and crying out. I have never felt something this intense in my life. My legs are still shaking. Please make more. I'm already touching myself in anticipation..."
