Carol Gardner and Shane Young have created the perfect tribute to moms, motherhood, and even a few famous mothers, like the Queen Mother and Mother Teresa, because "After all, motherhood and sainthood should be synonymous. Zelda is joined by a pack of adorable little pups in a touching scrapbook-style collection designed to tell Mom just how important she is. As Zelda puts it: * From the beginning you think you are in control. Yet, it''s "Have buggy, let''s boogey . . . baby in charge!" * When a sibling arrives mothers have the tough job of being the impartial referees in "double-dog-dare-ya" disputes. * Not only were you a great soccer mom, but you taught me that I''d always miss 100 percent of the goals I didn''t try to kick. I''m still "kicking" whenever I see an opportunity. Zelda''s Moments with Mom is sure to be a doggone winner with mothers everywhere.

* "This doggy diva is queen of the catwalk." -Oprah Winfrey, The Oprah Winfrey Show * Zelda is the official "spokesdog" for Delta Society Pet Partners, an international program dedicated to the human-animal healing bond.

At the core of Zelda''s wisdom is a focus on humor and healing. As owner Carol Gardner explains, "Zelda always makes me laugh. She''s proof that you don''t have to be thin, rich, young, or wrinkle-free to be successful. More important, you don''t have to be perfect to be happy." From peer pressure to retirement and from sibling rivalry to toxic relationships and much more, Zelda''s advice allows us to laugh at ourselves and realize that in life''s ups and downs, we are never alone. Tough when necessary, and tender when needed, there is a little Zelda in all of us!

"To err is human . . . but it feels divine," said the inimitable Mae West, and how right she was.

Even in her less glamorous moments, Zelda teaches us something about life: You can turn even your goof-ups into something great.

As you relax and unwind, you can absorb the wisdom of Zelda, chuckle, reflect, chuckle some more, and resolve issues. As Zelda puts it, "Even good girls get dirty sometimes. Zelda is a new breed of supermodel. Her measurements are 32-32-32. Her wisdom allows us to laugh at ourselves when we take life too seriously. And her popularity is growing! She''s been featured in the New York Times, and Ladies'' Home Journal, Good Morning America, and even Oprah Winfrey have all raved about her. She even received an honorary "Pet" degree from Harvard. Zelda''s Tips from the Tub is the fifth book from this sixty-pound wise and witty bulldog. Her newest volume is all about taking time out (albeit not much) and coming away with a new and refreshed attitude. So sit back, relax, put your feet up, and enjoy-just don''t drink the bathwater!

SharePoint is central to the Microsoft Office and developer platform, and at seventy-five million licenses sold, is the fastest growing server product at Microsoft. This book is an anthology of the best thinking on critical SharePoint 2007 topics by a dozen SharePoint MVPs, the best and the most recognized experts in the field. Topics covered include but are not limited to branding, business data connector, classified networks, forms-based authentication, InfoPath and SharePoint, installation, and zones and alternate access mapping.

Written by three of the most recognized influencers in the Microsoft SharePoint community, this book sheds light on SharePoint Search in the enterprise and focuses solely on Microsoft Search technology. This book is intended for a range of folks from the IT administrator to the developer writing search applications. We span many topics in this book to try to cover the breadth of using, administering, and developing on the SharePoint Search technologies. The developer chapters will be important for the administrator to understand, since developers and administrators have to work together to make Search work. On the flip side, the administrator chapters will be important for developers to understand the architecture and administration of Search because, without this knowledge, writing to the APIs will be more difficult. Most readers will benefit from reading all the chapters in this book. This book covers the breadth of the SharePoint Search technologies from Search Server to Windows SharePoint Services to Office SharePoint Server. We also include information on the latest search technologies coming from Microsoft, including the new federation capabilities, filter pack, and the recently acquired FAST technologies. This book is structured in such a way that you can read it from end to end. The chapters are laid out in such a way that they build on each other, starting with an overview chapter and ending with an API chapter that shows you how to program against all the technology about which you just learned. If you are new to SharePoint, the first few chapters will be important for you to understand and digest before moving on, since the array of search technologies can be overwhelming for someone new to them. For experienced SharePoint readers, the overview chapters are a good refresher to skim through, but you probably can skip right to the detailed chapters, starting with Chapter 3, Planning and Deploying an Enterprise Search Solution. The topics covered include: Introduction to Enterprise Search. Overview of Microsoft Enterprise Search Products. Planning and Deploying an Enterprise Search Solution. Configuring and Administering Search. Searching LOB Systems with the BDC. User Profiles and People Search. Extending Search with Federation. Securing Your Search Results. Customizing the Search Experience. Understanding and Tuning Relevance. Building Applications with the Search API and Web Services. To get the most from this book, you will want a copy of Office SharePoint Server. Windows SharePoint Services or Search Server will work, but you will not have access to all the search capabilities we talk about in the book. One easy way to get an evaluation copy of SharePoint is to download the SharePoint virtual machine from MSDN. You can find a link to the virtual machine on the SharePoint home page at www.microsoft.com/office/sharepoint. This virtual machine, while large, is preconfigured for you so that you can start working with the SharePoint Search technologies without having to install all the software and configure it.
