This dog needs a home with no children, great cuddler and very playful
He is currently being fostered with Homeward Bound Rescue. If you are interested in meeting Frankie, please contact them for a visit or you can stop by the Dog Adoption at Petco in Fridley this Saturday.http://homewardboundrescue.com/events/event/dog-adoption-at-the-petco-in-fridley-6-2013-09-14/

Dogs who need homes
http://homewardboundrescue.com/dogs
All of these dogs need homes, please support Homeward Bound Rescue based out of the Twin Cities. They are a great organization!
Frankie has the happiest tail that stands up all the time and has cute puppy dog ears. He is a small lab mix at only about 40lbs. Frankie’s is very friendly and attentive to those that he loves. He likes being a part of the family and participating, whether its lounging on the couch with you or going for a run. He also loves snuggling in with a good bone or a Kong filled with peanut butter. Frankie prefers women but will warm up to men once he gets comfortable around them. He would prefer a family without children as their unpredictable movements make him nervous. Frankie’s favorite exercise is playing “catch it” in the backyard. He also enjoys walks and he runs well while his person rides their bicycle. He does like to chase squirrels and bunnies so a physically fenced yard would be best. Frankie loves to go for car rides and make a great sidekick. He knows some basic commands (such as sit, stay and go get it). He is a very fast runner and would be a great candidate for agility courses. He is housetrained and sleeps in a crate well. He is really looking the new love of his life and a forever home. This dog has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and will be microchipped upon adoption. If you have questions or would like a preadoption questionnaire, please email Nicci at nicci.lee@hotmail.com
Tips on how to buy a new computer to replace your Windows XP computer
Since many people are buying new computers because Windows XP will not be supported after April of 2014, here is a guide to buying a new computer and what needs to be done once you buy it. My recommendation? Buy before Christmas too.
Buy the computer is #1!
Here are some ideas on how to purchase, stay in your budget and make a good decision on a computer that will last you many years.
Mac or PC? 
Ah, the big debate! Many PC users are moving to Mac and for a reason, but should you is the question? Many of my clients have called in that have replaced their PC with a Mac to find the learning curve not so easy and the costs outweighing the PC by bounds and leaps. You cannot install your PC software (such as Office) on the Mac and you will need all new. The Mac itself costs much more and the learning curve as I said before…is a lot different, but it can be conquered! Macs are usually better hardware quality, last much longer than a PC and yep, don’t crash as much or get viruses (they can, but not as destructive).
Tower or Laptop?
If you have a nice monitor and prefer a tower, by all means just get another tower. Standard computers are $300 to $500. If you need a more robust computer, you will spend more obviously.
- A good laptop for the home is around $500
- A good business computer will run you $500 to $900.
How much memory should you buy with the computer?
I would buy a computer with 6-8 gigs of memory. If you buy less, one day you will want more. The deals are pretty good with the 6-8 so I recommend that.
What about hard drive size?
Most computers today come with 320 gigs to 1 Terabyte of data space. Get as much as you can for the deal you can get.
Windows 8 or Windows 7?
Try to find a Windows 7 computer if you can, If you buy Windows 8 you will need to have some settings adjusted for you to use it in the manner you are used to. We can help you with that of course if you buy Windows 8
Dell, HP or other brand?
Dell and HP are the most common computers sold today. If you want to spend more, you will get a better quality hardware computer.
Do you have your software ready?
Many of you bought a computer years ago and it already had Office on it. You did not get it for free, many people think so. You did pay for it and it probably came preinstalled with your computer. You need to find your disks and license keys. If you do not have these, you need to contact whoever you bought the computer from to get a copy if you don’t want to buy the new Office 2013.
If you need to buy new software, Microsoft has some handy packages for you to get software at a low price. But they changed their licensing to one computer per install. Not two as it used to be.
Want just basic word and excel for free? Try Open Office, it has the look and feel of Microsoft products without the extra cost
Buy it!
Now, with all the awesome online deals, you can just buy your new computer online…or should you? I’ve been very disappointed lately with some of the new laptops out there with the touchpad on the left side (due to the fact they added on calculator keys to the laptop keyboard). I bought a laptop with the touchpad on the side and I hated it. I could not get used to working “off” my usual and needed the touchpad in the middle. This may bother you as well.
I do recommend you go to a store that sells computers and touch and feel them. Be sure you don’t have heavy glare in the screen, the keys are ok for you to constantly be typing (some are horrible and float, my fingernails got stuck using!), and be sure it’s not too heavy (laptop only of course) if you will be traveling often or carrying it around.
If you find a good laptop in a store and it has my recommendations, buying it at the store may be best, then you can also return it fast too if you need. Returning online is a pain, but you can get better deals too.
TIPS!
- If you have wireless in your house, get a computer with wireless already installed on both laptop (standard) and your tower, not standard, but worth getting!
- Buy the extended warranty if you have a business computer, usually these are good deals and with your business needing to stay running, the warranty may have next day or same day assistance.
Budget!
Stay within a budget that works for you. If you can get financing that is a great deal, go for it. Never buy a computer from a rent a center or retail location that has huge interest rates.
Set it up
Setting it up at home by yourself may be something you want to do or you can hire us to help. Or you can do it yourself and call us if you need help with certain iss
Here is how we can help. Once you get your new computer up and running, you will need the following done to insure you can get back to work quickly or without hassle if you don’t know how to do it.
- Install a Windows 8 start menu
- Transfer your data
- Set up your printers
- Set up your Outlook/Email
- Install your software (new or old)
- Set up your antivirus
- Remote the junk preinstalled

How to share a calendar in Hosted Exchange or Microsoft Office 365
Below are simple instructions on how to share a calendar with other members of your team in Hosted Exchange or Microsoft Office 365.
How to add a member to view your calendar
Start by right clicking on your calendar and go to “Properties”
Then click on “Permissions” tab
Click “Add” and select in the Address Book “Global Address List” for the mailbox you want to share the calendar with and select the members name and click on “Add” at the bottom of the window.
Now you have to determine the level of permission. View guide below for appropriate levels.
Common are “Free/Busy” , “Reviewer” and “Publishing Author”
Found this handy guide from UNC-Chapel Hill Help & Support page
| Permission Level | Definition |
| Owner: | Allows full rights to the mailbox’s (Calendar or Folder) , including assigning permissions; it is recommended not to assign this role to anyone |
| Publishing Editor: | Create, read, edit, and delete all items; create subfolders |
| Editor: | Create, read, edit, and delete all items |
| Publishing Author: | Create and read items; create subfolders; edit and delete items created by the user. |
| Author: | Create and read items; edit and delete items they’ve created. |
| Nonediting Author: | Create and read items; delete items created by the user. |
| Reviewer: | Read items. |
| Contributor: | Create items. |
| Free/Busy time, subject, location: | View the time, subject, and location of the appointment or meeting on your calendar. |
| Free/Busy time: | Shows only as Free or Busy on your calendar. No details are provided. |
| None: | No permissions are set for the selected user on the specified calendar or folder. |
Now the member has permissions
How to view the other members calendar
Open Outlook and click on “File” then go to “Open”, and select “Other User’s Folder”
Click on “Name” and select the team member from the global address list. And also select “Folder Type” Calendar. Click OK
You will now see your team members calendar in your list of calendars until “Shared Calendar”. You will also see their calendars in your SmartPhone unless you turn off these settings.
More info
You will now see the other calendar in a side by side mode, you can select “Overlay” mode which gives you just one calendar. You can go to the top of Outlook and select “View” and then “Overlay”
You can also uncheck their calendar box at any time to not view it at all.
