The subject of "who is the top Australian web host" is something that often comes up at various webmaster forums, especially among bloggers and webmasters.
At a recent local social media event, I met up with a few fellow bloggers and we started talking about useful blogger tools, SEO and blog webhosts. ( updated 09 January 2018)
I was surprised to come across some names in the local web hosting and web development field in Australia that I hadn't heard about before. I asked some of my blogger friends who they had used among the different local web-hosting.
I also asked them about US based webhosts for their blogs, and also who they'd had good customer support and service from, website loading speed etc. to update my personal knowledge of web hosting as well as help me add to this post.
It was definitely a bag of surprises.
As with human nature, people tend to remember bad things, but I am exactly the opposite and I tend to remember the good things. So there were many comments on who were the worst host and peoples experiences with them.
Surprisingly, they were some difference of opinions good and bad on some of the same US based webhosts most things. Most of the popular us webhosting's names were discussed like Bluehost, WP engine Hostgator and In motion. I got to know of two new aussie hosting providers Bullet proof and Quadra which I didn't know of before.
I would suggest that you do your own research before choosing a web-host, but hopefully this information and listing below will help you in some way if you are looking to get a local webhost.
These providers have different pricing plans which can cover a wide range of budgets and needs for your hosting.
Given below is their lowest priced plans ( unfortunately some websites below make it hard to find their prices, so I have not listed them below)
- Digitalpacific (http://www.digitalpacific.com.au/ – $4.90 mo)
- Rackspace (https://www.rackspace.com/en-au/ – $128 mo)
- Bulletproof (http://www.bulletproof.net.au/ NA)
- Hostpapa (http://www.hostpapa.com.au/ – $4.35 mo)
- Crucial (http://www.crucial.com.au/ – $19.90 mo)
- Netregistry (http://www.netregistry.com.au/ – $9.95 mo)
- Quadra Hosting (http://www.quadrahosting.com.au/ – $4.90 mo)
I might have missed some that are good as well, but these were the Aussie ones listed above that we discussed and talked about in our chat.
Smarty Host and Crazy domains are not on this list as I have not used their hosting but only bought .au domains from them.
Some of them have a humongous transfer fee ( as i have found out) if you want to move your domains elsewhere, so please make it a point to check that before you buy domains from an Aussie domain provider.
Some of the popular local aussie forums like Whirlpool, DNTrade and Web Hosting Talk can give you a good idea of good local hosts, though most locals tend to bag the US service providers just because they are not Australian. (And that's fair enough because they are un-Australian).
I have used a few of these local providers and they are good and prices for some of them have also come down in the last few years, but I mainly use US based website- hosting for my blogs, due to the price factor.
I use US web hosts because they do the job and are reliable for blogs with a monthly traffic of fewer than 100,000 hits to your blog. If you get more traffic on your blog, you should be earning well enough to sign up for a premium optimised or dedicated hosting company.
Below I am going to give some of the US based hosting that I prefer for my blogs and niche website, whihc will also work well for some small biz beginner websites. Here is the list.
Australian Web Hosting Comparison: Our Top 3 US Hosts
- Bluehost Hosting
Bluehost is a web hosting company owned by Endurance International Group. It is one of the 20 largest web hosts, collectively hosting well over 2 million domains with its sister companies, HostMonster, FastDomain and iPage.
They offer many attractive features and very reasonable pricing. Before you choose a web host, however, you should carefully consider the company and whether it fits with your own plans.
Bluehost offers $200 in free offers when you sign up. This includes free advertising credits for Google and Facebook. By using these free advertising credits, you can start advertising with the respective websites and get traffic instantly.
The regular pricing for Bluehost shared hosting is $7.99 per month. The company, however, runs frequent specials. Right now, for example, you can get hosting for as low as $3.95 per month when you sign up through partnering sites such as start-a-website.info!
- Ease of use 90% 90%
- Affordability 85% 85%
- Performance 80% 80%
2. Hostgator
Hostgator is a Houston-based provider of shared, reseller, virtual private server, and dedicated web hosting with an additional presence in Austin, Texas
Uptime – Very Good – 99.99%
Houston-based HostGator is one of the largest web hosts on the planet with over 9 million (!) domain names hosted. They boast partnerships with tiny tech titans Cisco and Linux. HostGator has been around since 2002, originally founded by Brent Oxley before being acquired a decade later by Endurance International Group (EIG)
The regular pricing for Hostgator shared hosting is $7.99 per month. The company however runs discounts now and then. Currently, you can get hosting for as low as $3.95 per month when you sign up through partnering sites such as start-a-website.info!
- Ease of use 90% 90%
- Affordability 85% 85%
- Performance 80% 80%
3. Godaddy
GoDaddy Inc. is an American publicly traded Internet domain registrar and web hosting company. GoDaddy is best known as a domain registrar – and, to be certain, it is one of the largest in the world – but they also offer a wide range of other web services, including hosting.
Godaddy hosts 7 of my sites through its Linux hosting offering and works perfectly all of the time. They have ridiculously cheap and reliable service. GoDaddy's hosting is scalable to your needs and boasts a 99.9% uptime.
They offer many attractive features and very reasonable pricing. GoDaddy hosting comes in three sizes: Economy, Deluxe, and Ultimate.
The Economy plan is probably all most freelance individual webmasters will ever need. Although disk space is limited to 10 GB, that is actually more than most websites will ever use. The Deluxe package allows for 150 GB disk space – a marked improvement over the Economy plan – 500 e-mail accounts and 25, 1 GB MySQL databases
The regular pricing for Godaddy shared hosting(economy) is $10.99 per month. The company, however, runs frequent specials. Right now, for example, you can get hosting for as low as $5.49 per month when you sign up through partnering sites such as start-a-website.info!
The major benefit to hosting through GoDaddy is that you only have to deal with one company – for your domains, hosting and other related website services like selling domains , domain auctions and SEO.
- Ease of use 90% 90%
- Affordability 85% 85%
- Performance 80% 80%
I still recommend Bluehost.com and Hostmonster as my favourite US hosting providers.
Support is a very important factor when choosing a website-hosting company, because when trouble strikes you need good service, otherwise it can be very frustrating and you could end up losing traffic and money to your blog if things are not fixed quickly.
Before you make your choice , do check up on – If 24/7 support is available, you can call up and speak to a person if needed.
Check also if upgrade to optimised hosting is available, price for extra bandwidth or storage space, if they provide free or paid backups, do they sell SSL certificates.
Good luck!

Fat Shaming, Low Body Esteem & Body Positivityadmin
The topic of girls and women's perception of their bodies, as well as how this topic is portrayed by the society, has long been a subject of discussion. An individual's perception of her (or his) body has long played a critical role in understanding how to treat eating disorders. Much of this understanding is increasingly looking at the role of media and societal pressures on people's perceptions. Popular media and the fashion industry appear to actually encourage a culture of fat-shaming and weight stigma. This history of shame and stigma has created devastating consequences.
Low Body Esteem:
According to studies performed by the Dove (Unilever Corporation), feelings of low body esteem impact the majority of both women and girls. The report states that 85% of women and 79% of girls say that they purposely skip major life activities and events due to the fact that they do not feel good about the way they look. Shockingly, 69% of Women and 65% of girls state that pressure from advertising and mass media pushes them to reach an unrealistic standard of beauty. On a worldwide scale, the report states that out of the 13 countries in the study, Japan ranked lowest, with only 8% body confidence among respondents, followed by the UK and Canada at 20%, the US at 24%, and South Africa topping the list at a modest 64% of women who feel confident in their bodies.
The Body Positivity Movement:
Reports like these have inspired a growing empowerment trend known as body positivity movement. This movement is quickly gaining popularity on the internet and in mass media. The concept of body positivity evolved as a way to counteract feelings of poor body image in society at large. Generally, body positivity asserts that all bodies are good bodies. How people's bodies physically appear should not determine their worth as a person. "In Western society, this idea fights against long-held valuations of physical appearance, primarily as portrayed (or conspicuously not portrayed) in the media. Body positivity proponents across social media, therefore, seek to make diverse body types more visible, partly as a reminder to rethink our cultural conceptions of what it means to be beautiful, and that such concepts are not fixed."
Fat Shaming as Entertainment:
Whether the body positivity movement able to create permeant societal change is still unclear. The entertainment industry still produces shows that seem to send the opposite message. For example, for the last few months controversy has been swirling around the new Netflix show Insatiable. Described as a dark comedy set in the Southern world of beauty pageants, the show is labeled as a "coming of rage" story. The series follows the actions of a vengeful teenager who was called "Fatty Patty" by school bullies. However, this character loses a substantial amount of weight, after having her jaw wired shut; and then teams up with a disgraced pageant coach in order to seek revenge against the people who once tormented her. The show's creator argues that the Netflix series draws from her own experiences dealing with bullies and an eating disorder while growing up in the suburbs. Critics have called the show "an offensive mess," "almost unwatchable" and "obscenely cruel" for perceived fat shaming.
One of the actors from the series, Alyssa Milano, defended the series arguing that the show is not engaging in fat-shaming behavior. "We are addressing (through comedy) the damage that occurs from fat shaming." Milano explains that she hopes the show is a conversation starter, since the series explores body images issues, rather than sweeping it "under the carpet." Insatiable's main star Debby Ryan agreed with Milano and argues that the subject matter is difficult, but she hopes that the show serves a purpose by "stirring conversation" about fat shaming and low body esteem.
Critics of the show have not agreed with Ryan and Milano's analysis. As of August 31st, 2018, a Change.org petition has garnered more than 200,000 signatures to have the show canceled. The originators of the petition state that the shows central plot is not an isolated case, but part of a much larger problem every single woman has faced in her life. The Netflix series "perpetuates not only the toxicity of diet culture but the objectification of women's bodies."
Other critics have agreed with this analysis and have called the show dangerous. Behavioral health professionals have noted that the U.S. society has made significant improvements in advancing the body positivity movement. However, fat-shaming and body weight stigmas are still a problem. Netflix's show Insatiable only proves there's still a lot about the way body image is portrayed in the media that needs to improve. The show's core premise displays a plotline that is based on some ugly body image ideas. Body Positivity activists have pointed out that series shows that "a fat girl could never stand up for herself while fat and of course she has to be assaulted and have her mouth wired shut before she becomes her best self, her skinny self." Other news sources have raised the question that perhaps the series is just misunderstood.
Whether the show is deemed offensive or is actually secretly progressive, the judgment that people feel about their physical appearance will continue. As a social trend and topic of conversation, River Centre Clinic will monitor this story as it unfolds. Our trained staff understands the complexity and sensitivity surrounding these issues. For additional questions or comments about this or other related topics – please contact us.

Client Profile: Austin Briggs
Firstly, Austin wanted us to optimise the usability of his website to improve the user experience, increase membership and maximise retention rates, so we sat down with him to carefully consider his target demographic and exactly how his website could be improved.
One key area was his "Flash fiction contest" page. It had a lot of information which needed to be better organised and accessible, so we suggested a "filter toolbar" to allow visitors to select stories by author, genre and more. This turned a cumbersome and lengthy page into one which was much more streamlined and allowed users to instantly find their chosen story within seconds.
Next, we integrated our content management system (CMS) into his existing website design so he could add, remove and edit pages with no design knowledge required. The simple interface made it easy for Austin to manage his website content and keep it fresh for his visitors.
One of the biggest improvements involved our work on the sales page for his book "How to build a powerful writers platform in 90 days". The page was failing to convert to an acceptable standard, but after an analysis, we identified a number of fixable bottlenecks. This included poor use of above-the-fold space, ineffective sales copy and poorly contrasting call-to-action buttons.
With this information to hand, we created a new sales page which focused on key selling points (including a money-back guarantee), improved copy, high-impact call-to-action buttons and a far more effective sales page layout. Since these changes were implemented, the conversion rate has increased by a massive 40%.

Mushroom Bean Soup
Last night while out for a jog I decided that I wanted to make Mushroom and Bean Soup for dinner. I don't think I've ever had a soup like this, or heard of it, but for some reason, as I imagined what was in my pantry, I thought it would be a good idea. When I got home, after consulting a couple of recipes on Epicurious, I came up with something. I am posting it here mainly because I thought it was good, and I want to remember it. My recipe is strongly based on this recipe: Creamy Bean Soup. But, I think the addition of the mushrooms changes the character significantly, and is definitely a welcome improvement.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cans cannelini beans or 1 can cannelini and 1 can garbanzo, drained and rinsed
- 1 can low-salt chicken broth
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 3 oz baby spinach or other dark green
- Truffle oil, walnut oil, or other fragrant oil for drizzling
- Grated Parmesan
Soak the mushrooms in 1 cup hot water for 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and chop, reserving the water.
Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a soup pot. Saute the onions until soft, then add the garlic and rosemary and saute for 1 minute. Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook 3 minutes longer.
Add the beans, chicken broth, and mushroom water to the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Puree in the pot using an immersion blender.
Stir in the greens and stir until wilted. Serve with grated Parmesan and a drizzle of truffle oil.

Talking Shehhi a dialect from UAE's North mountains
Khaleejia said: All know that before UAE was a land of tribes. Despite that the living area was one, each tribe had its own heritage, traditions and even language.
Among the original tribes there are those families who inhabited UAE in the last centuries came from Yemen, Iran, Oman and some other regions. Though if you go to the North, there will be tribes that was living there from long time ago. Their authenticity is their language which is considered now as a living example of the history of the Arabic language's evolution in the region.

The Robot Zoo hails from Nickelodeon. That's the come-on. Well, that and the fact that... duh, robots are cool, man!
|The Robo Melman welcoming committee. This guy greets you at the door, then directs you to the gears and gyros table.
|The Rhino Robot. This section allows you to assemble the rhino's parts via a control pad. Data podiums littered the place so you know how the machines actually approximate the real deal. Oh and the trivia cards on the wall --pure brilliance!
|Big platypus! He's got lit-up intestines and internal organs that blinked and whirred. This area comes with a Make-your-own-platypus-mutation table, too.
|The Robot Squid, although beautiful, didn't move as much as we would've wanted. But the games here were fun. Try out the Jet Propelled Squid Race --you just gotta!
|By far, the biggest fly we've ever seen since Jeff Goldblum! This MechaFly was incredibly animated. So were the activities that came with it. Swat-a-Fly was a total crowd pleaser.
|What my boys liked about this Grasshopper was that it hid its enormous self in grass and then poked its head out to greet you. The smaller version shares info on real grasshopper living habits.
|My favorite. The ginormous bat hung upside down, turned its head and ears, opened its mouth to expose fangs, and then wiggled its wings. Cute and creepy in one! The games that let you see and do things like a bat were amazing.
|Definitely the star of the show! The giant MechanaChameleon has color-changing computer screens for a back. It's bundled with loads of experiential goodies including control pads that put the kids in command of moving its body parts. Pure wowza!
*Sigh* Boys.
Miro had one thought-provoking, heart-wrenching question when the tour was over though:
"Does this mean in the future, we won't have animals anymore and our zoos will just have robots?"

2013 Goals: Progress Report #1
So here is what I have done so far towards my 13 Goals for 2013!
1. Make my own cleaning supplies I'm working on this one. I have found recipes for most of the cleaning supplies I would like to make and will be actually making some shortly.
2. Buy more locally grown food This is definitely an ongoing one throughout the year but so far I have been doing pretty decent. We have ordered a 1/4 cow from a local farmer, we're going to grow our own meat birds and we've been buying more fruits and veggies from the Farmer's Market.
3. Take a yoga class I haven't done this one yet but am in the process of searching for classes.
4. Read 10 books I've read 5 which I think is a decent accomplishment for only being 3 months into the year.
5. Quit my job Not yet.
6. Gain 10 pounds I've gained 5!
7. Reupholster couch cushions No progress here.
8. Have an herb garden It's still too early for this but I have purchased some supplies for it, just waiting for warmer weather!
9. Learn to parallel park No progress.
10. Plant a hedge and build a fence No progress, waiting for spring.
11. Learn to live on one income We're working on this one. February we did really well, March not quite as well. I'm hoping to really buckle down in April again though.
12. Raise and sell meat birds The meat birds are ordered, we have 20 "sold" and the chicken coop is in the process of being built.
13. Try 10 new recipes I've tried three so far. So if I keep doing one a month, I'll be golden!

=) I love #9... gotta stop and brag - I don't remember who taught me, but I am a parallel parking queen... Also - can't wait to hear how you feel about yoga once you find a class - I LOVE IT!!ReplyDelete
You don't really have to make cleaning supplies. I just sprinkle baking soda in the tub and scrub with water. That gets it nice and clean. To wash floors just use some vinegar and water. I don't measure I just pour a generous splash of vinegar in my bucket. To clean windows it's vinegar and water with a couple of drops of dish soap. I use a squeegee for my windows with this mixture. If I feel the need for special disinfection power I'll add a couple of drops of tea tree essential oil.ReplyDelete
It sounds like you are doing spectacular on your goals for the year. Now if I could only do as well.
Would love to hear what homemade cleaning supplies you come up with!ReplyDelete
~Mrs. Lopez of lovinglifeinpink.blogspot.com
Kate - I wish you were closer so that you could teach me how to parallel park. I really need to get on that one. And I will for sure let you know how I like the yoga class!ReplyDelete
Sparkless - I don't plan on making too many different cleaning supplies because like you said, using vinegar, water and baking soda pretty much does the trick. I will be using that but do plan on making my own laundry soap and dishwasher detergent.
Mrs. Lopez - I will be doing a post on the cleaning supplies once I get around to making them!

Basement Home Theater : An Air of Indulgence
Taking care of the acoustics of a house movie theater and also making certain that the illumination is undoubtedly area on is a lot less complicated in a regulated atmosphere like the basement. The residence theater below employs a dark color scheme with black as well as brown establishing the tone. The seating setup is basic yet comfy, and also there is enough space to add added seats in the future. Cool carpet and clever lighting finish the trendy room.
Most of the house movie theater inspirations that we stumble upon employ a dark, sophisticated color scheme. This is mainly since property owners desire a 'true movie theater' experience as well as because darker shades deliver better lights conditions. Yet you can select an extra vibrant house theater if you get the ambient lights and also thedisplay wall spot on.
Basement Home Theater Ideas

Basement Home Theater Designs : Past Flicks and also Football
Transforming the basement right into a hangout and even a male cave where family and friends can socialize is one more fashionable means forward for those contemplating a cellar remodel.

This will hardly use up any added area, and also you will have a dynamic 'social zone' that prolongs past just the cinema.
If you really feel a home bar is not suitable for your family members, then think of integrating the recreation room with the media room.

Small Basement Home Theater Ideas : Smart Use of Space
That amongst us would not like a large basement residence cinema that becomes part of a full-blown man cave? But the truth of room and also budget plan restrictions frequently imply we need to collaborate with just what is on deal. Also tiny basements can be turned into awesome residence cinemas like the ones listed below. Make sure the seeing range from the front seat to the screen goes to least 10-15 feet, as well as do not make use of an overwhelmingly large display in a small area.
A simple color scheme with two or three neutral shades works best, as way too much shade can lead to visual clutter and fragmentation of the currently small space. Include beautiful carpets and a step or two for theater-style seats, and also you will certainly be amazed by the transformation.
it matters not if your basement house cinema or media space has a full dimension movie theater or one large flat screen tv; the most crucial facet of creating a cellar residence cinema is that it includes your individual style.
Basement Home Theater Bar
Basement residence movie theaters are progressively typical nowadays– they offer remarkable enjoyment value for families, and also they could also increase a house's resale cost. If you're fortunate sufficient to stay in a home with a finished basement and also you're considering mounting a residence cinema, you might simply have the best place for your amusement area all set as well as waiting.
Basement Home Theater Seating : Gaming Place
Before deciding on the cellar residence cinema design that's right for you and your household, you'll wish to think of the place of this amusement space in your completed cellar. Light and noise are far and away the most vital attributes of any kind of house cinema, and you'll wish to ensure that your basement residence movie theater's location manages you the most control feasible over these 2 elements.
The option to add a residence theater to your residence's basement will certainly give you an automated benefit here, as basements tend to be the quietest, darkest locations in the home. If, nonetheless, your basement allows a bargain of natural light, or, say, the furnace or COOLING AND HEATING system creates a cacophony whenever it turns on, you'll intend to take steps to regulate the light and also noise in the space.
Primarily, consider finding the house cinema in the area of the cellar that's farthest from the resource of any kind of light and also sound. Successive, counteract outside light and also noise as much as feasible: shades or black-out curtains for home windows prevail in all kinds of house theaters, and soundproofing could be attained with in-wall materials, custom drywall or soundproofing curtains and also carpetings.
Basement Home Theater Room
When you've chosen a place for your cellar residence movie theater as well as thought of noise as well as light-proofing, it's time to consider the technological, audio-visual as well as layout requirements for the space. Custom wiring is almost always a have to for a residence movie theater– you're likely to need it for lighting, video clip, audio as well as net accessibility (which is important for streaming videos or playing games online). Concealing wiring is also an important component in home cinema design– you can position it behind the cellar's drywall or in low-profile tubes throughout the area. A mess of electrical wiring is an eyesore, and also it can develop a security risk, too.
When the electrical wiring for your basement residence theater is sorted out, it's time to consider the audio-visual and digital tools for your amusement room. The selections here are manifold in regards to intricacy and also price, but you could utilize the dimension of your house movie theater as an overview. Things like the size of the TV or projection display required, the number or audio speakers required for your sound system, and also the range of the lighting system you'll have to produce an ambient, motion picture experience will all be figured out by the space's square footage.
When the AV and also electronics system remains in area, it's time to think about the interior design. Once again, the extent as well as format of the cellar residence theater will be a consideration when it comes to the quantity and type of furnishings and also devices you'll choose. Larger home theaters typically mimic the style of genuine cinema, with arena seats and huge elbow chairs provided for each guest. House owners with smaller sized home movie theaters could select an extra low-profile setup of sofas and chairs.
Finished Basement Home Theater
For individuals who stay in a part of the nation where basements are prevalent, below-ground spaces are still the dominant location for committed residence cinemas. A cellar is a virtually excellent place for a movie theater or media space for lots of factors. The sidewalls typically aren't usually shared with various other rooms; if there are home windows, they're tiny ones; they're typically not an open layout, so acoustics are easier to regulate; as well as their far-off nature makes them terrific places for short-term retreat.
That stated, basements also include difficulties that spaces don't have.
The initial point to think about in a basement is moisture. "We take a look around for spots where there may have been leakages," claims Dave Wexler of The Little Men in Chicago, IL. He notes that more recent residences typically do not have dampness problems, since new growths take care of water better than older ones did.
If you've had moisture concerns in the past, sump pumps, French drains pipes, dehumidifiers and moisture obstructing paints could all be used. A professional will need to fix any type of potentially major problems beforehand in the task.
Basement Home Theater Bar
Pipes, subjected avenues, heating as well as a/c ducts all could obstruct of your sound and also video clip gear. Usually a home heating air duct crosses a ceiling location in precisely the place you should hang the projector. A specialist integrator will recognize whether the projector positioning could be changed or if the air duct needs to be moved. A projector with a liberal lens change attribute could be an issue solver.
Ceiling height can be a problem in numerous basements, specifically where ceiling installed projectors and also tiered seats is in the strategy. In a low ceilinged basement, the limited clearance could make it an obstacle to place seats on risers, particularly with a 3rd tier, without obtaining the guests' heads as well close to the ceiling or in the way of the projector's light.
Basement Home Theater Plans
Depending upon exactly what you desire for your screen, the basement entrance could be an obstacle. If your staircases are narrow and also have a reduced ceiling, it could be hard to get an 80- or 90-inch flat panel TV down there. Even more difficult will be a big– 100 inches or larger– inflexible forecast display. Rolled up material projection screens could easily be brought down any stairways.
What concerning windows? While cellars do not generally have a great deal of home windows, if there are any type of, they have to have the ability to be covered so no light comes in to rinse the image. Motorized window tones can function magic in this scenario.
Insulation is also a worry– both for consisting of warmth (if you stay in a cool part of the nation like I do) or to keep the audio in. "Offered the possibility, we make use of Acoustiblok," states Wexler. Acoustiblok is a viscoelastic polymer product that's put on wall studs. It's exceptional for soundproofing, however it could be expensive.
Simple Basement Home Theater
Due to the fact that a basement will have extremely different temperature level qualities than the rest of the house, it is essential making certain it operates as a different HEATING AND COOLING zone in your home.
Todd Anthony Puma of The Source Residence Movie theater, says illumination is type in any kind of theater, specifically a basement. "The positioning of lights is essential," states Puma, so the illumination is guided to where people require it as well as not into the screen. "A great deal of people wish to do recessed lighting, however I recommend sconces. Recessed illumination can rattle [from bass notes] or leakage light," he says. Puma likewise recommend LED course lighting around seats and stairs to avoid crashes in the dark.
Basement Home Theater Room
Puma includes that remote regulated illumination makes a huge distinction in people's pleasure of a theater. First, there's the WOW aspect of seeing lights automatically drop while the photo and also sound begun, but past that, remote controlled lighting allows you to trigger various illumination scenes depending upon the just how the area is being made use of at the time– a songs paying attention scene may establish the sconces to partial lighting, while the film scene transforms them off totally– and you will not have to leave your chair to alter them.
One more problem that Wexler sees with basements is varying power. "Voltage stablizing is critical," he states, as well as suggests items from business like Furman and Panamax to preserve a home movie theater's performance degree. You don't want to see your image go dark every time the air conditioning starts.
While a standard rectangular room might be perfect for a specialized cinema, even more families are designing their basement rooms as multipurpose spaces– frequently with open layouts that aren't excellent for cinemas. Consequently, Wexler claims speaker positioning is in some cases a concern. "We utilize a great deal of in-ceiling speakers for surround or back networks," he says, "because occasionally walls typically aren't where you 'd like them."
Whatever your cellar, there's an option that can transform that void into an excellent entertainment area.

Just in time for Pesach...
It's funny: I often state that I've had about 9 nervous breakdowns the last week, and I usually mean it. But I still didn't realize that 'nervous exhaustion' actually means that your nervous system kind of broke down, and ran out of steam.
But that's exactly what happens: with all the stress we're subjected to, and all the worry, and all the fear that 'something bad' is going to happen any minute, God forbid, and all the stupid news reports we listen to addictively, we're all living on our nerves most of the time - and it's really taking a toll.
Small wonder that stress, anxiety and depression are all at record levels.
So what can we about this? How can we start to fix our nervous system, once it's been shot to pieces? So pleased you asked! I have a few suggestions that have worked wonders for me, so read on.
Every single health issue we have has three aspects to it: the spiritual aspect, the emotional aspect, and the physical aspect.
Let's take nervous breakdowns, and run them through our three part diagnostic system, to see how we can start to strengthen our nervous system.
Spiritual health actions:
When we don't believe in God, or don't see His hand in the world, or don't believe that He's looking out for us, cares for us, and has our best interests at heart, this puts ENORMOUS amounts of stress on our system. Just think about all the horrible things that could happen to you today (God forbid): you could catch Ebola; you could get fired; your house could burn down - all terrible, horrible things.
But when we work on believing in God a bit more, and trusting Him to take care of us, our spiritual stress starts to reduce, and we feel fundamentally more relaxed.
Emotional health actions:
You can sum it up like this: turn off the news, and stay away from negative, pessimistic people who are always trying to persuade you the end is nigh. Life is actually pretty good! Take a few minutes every day to count the blessings in your life, and say thank you.
Physical health actions:
Bladder is the energy meridian that governs the nervous system, and anything you do to strengthen the bladder meridian will pay big dividends. Things that have worked for me include:
Experiment, and see what works for you, and in the meantime, let me reassure you that nervous breakdowns, or nervous exhaustion, or neurasthenia doesn't have to take you out of action for years: if you follow the three pronged approach outlined above, you can bounce back from your nervous breakdown in a matter of hours, not months.

A faucet's bonnet nut, sometimes referred to as a collar, is used to hold the faucet's stem into place. Over time, the components within the faucet corrode, crack and otherwise wear out. This typically results in a faucet that leaks, thereby exposing the surrounding area to severe water damage, particularly if left unattended. A damaged faucet must be removed to repair or replace the faucet. To remove the faucet, it is first necessary to remove the faucet's bonnet nut.
Step 1
Turn off the water supply. If the faucet is for a sink, the two water valves underneath the sink can be used to turn the water supply off. The valves are typically oval or circular in shape. To turn the water supply off at the valves, turn each valve in a clockwise direction. If the faucet is for a shower or bathtub, the water will need to be turned off at the main water supply valve, which is typically located next to the water meter.
Step 2
Remove the faucet handle's cover plate. The cover plate is a circular plastic piece located in the center of the handle. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the cover plate away from the handle.
Step 3
Remove the faucet handle's retaining screw. The retaining screw is located directly in the center of the handle, as is revealed once the cover plate is removed. Remove the retaining screw with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
Step 4
Remove the faucet's handle by pulling it away from the faucet.
Step 5
Remove the faucet's bonnet nut. The bonnet nut fits over the faucet valve and holds the valve into place. To remove the bonnet nut, turn it in a counterclockwise direction with a wrench until the nut is free from the threads on the valve, then lift the nut up and over the valve to complete the removal process.

Cricketer Irfan Pathan has been trolled again for celebrating Raksha Bandhan and wearing a rakhi on his wrist while clicking a photo. This incident comes days after he was trolled for sharing a picture of his wife, who was hiding her face but her nail paint was visible.
On the occasion of Rakhi on August 8, Pathan took to social media and shared a picture of himself with the caption 'Happy Rakhi everyone #rakshabandhan'. He shared the photo on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook and received both positive and negative reactions.
Pathan was quick to become a target of Islamic radical trolls who either labelled the veteran all-rounder as un-Islamic or shamed him for celebrating a 'Hindu festival'. Irfan was told that celebrating this festival was not acceptable as per Islamic traditions.
However, there were many others who applauded Irfan.
Hitting back over the trolls, Irfan put out a strong statement condemning all the critics.
"Using foul language, talking to each other rudely on the basis of religion. It shows nothing but your own learning which some people have gathered in their mind over the years. Stop this nonsense of putting each other down," he wrote.
Earlier, Irfan Pathan was trolled online as 'un-Islamic for posting a photo along with his wife, Safa Baig.

Two farmers have been killed and two seriously injured as a result of livestock attacks recently.
A man in his sixties was killed on a farm in Co. Galway, Ireland. This followed the death of a farmer in his seventies, killed by a cow on his farm in in Mullaghbawn, south Armagh – a death which had 'shocked the local community'.
Armagh Sinn Féin Councillor Mickey Larkin told the BBC 'any death on a farm is one too many'.
Being killed by livestock is the second highest cause of death in farming, according to the latest HSE annual workplace fatality statistics.
An 'it won't happen to me' attitude is easy to adopt when working with animals day in, day out and things like habit, haste and fatigue can lead to an accident which can often be avoided, warns the Farm Safety Foundation.
It offers these tips: -

The Farm Safety Foundation works closely with young people to highlight the consequences of having a life changing accident.
The #SeeItChangeIt campaign also launched at the recent NFU conference, where individuals pledged to change at least one thing to improve the safety and wellbeing on their farm, consider poor worker attitudes to safety and challenging poor practice.

This article illustrates just how simple it is to correctly package a Java ME Midlet using Smartkey's freely available Antic Ant task.
Packaging Midlets
Packaging Midlets can be a complex process. Firstly, there are requirements for two files to be created: a Jar and a Jad file. The Jar file will contain all of the classes and other resources that the application requires, and the Jad file will contain entries which describe the contents of the Jar. In both the Jar and the Jad files, there are a number of mandatory entries that must be made. Among other things, the manifest in the Jar must, for example, specify the application version and the Jad file must specify the exact size of the Jar file.
If any of the entries in either of these files is incorrect, then your application may not work on a some devices; and the only way to check that an incorrectly packaged application works on all devices is to test it on all devices. Very impractical – a far better solution, obviously, is to correctly package the application in the first place.
Antic is an Ant task that can be used in conjunction with any standard Ant release. Antic fills a gap in the standard Ant tasks' functionality and provides capabilities for packaging Java ME applications. All other related Java ME build functionality can automated with the standard Ant tasks.
Using Antic in an Ant build files
A typical Antic entry in a build file might look like this:
<taskdef name="antic" classname="uk.co.smartkey.util.anttasks.AnticTask" classpath="antic.jar" /> <target name="package" depends="compile"> <antic suiteName="Demo Suite" version="1.0" vendor="smartkey.co.uk" profile="MIDP-2.0" configuration="CLDC-1.1" jarName="demo.jar" jadName="demo.jad" jarURL="http://www.smartkey.co.uk/demo.jar"> <midlet name="First Midlet" classname="MessageMidlet"/> <midlet name="Second Midlet" classname="DisplayMidlet"/> <attribute name="message" value="Hello World!!!"/> <fileset dir="${build}" includes="**/*"/> <fileset dir="${images}" includes="*"/> </antic> </target>
Above, we can see that before we can use Antic, we must use the Ant taskdef element to declare a new task that we will use in this build file; with this we must specify the name, class, and classpath for the task.
We then define an target named 'package'. This target uses Antic to create a Jar file called 'demo.jar', and an associated Jad file called 'demo.jad'. All mandatory entries for the Jar file's manifest and the Jad file are specified at attributes on the Antic task.
Within the Antic task there are two of midlet elements to describe each midlet in the suite; in this particular example there are two, called 'First Midlet' and 'Second Midlet'. Attributes can also be specified for the midlet suite, this is shown on the next line. The last elements within the Antic task are filesets; these specify the files that must be added to the Jar file; there must be at least one fileset element here.
If you'd like to use Antic to build your own J2ME applications, then go to our tools page where you can download the current release.

The Stanford Constitutional Law Center hosted a special two-day conference titled "The Constitution and the World" from Thursday, October 27 to Friday, October 28, 2011. Featured speakers included Hoover fellows Michael McConnell, Peter Berkowitz, Stephen Krasner and Kiron Skinner, who addressed topics including the reach of constitutional rights outside US territory, the potential effect of treaties on constitutional structure and rights, and the effect of globalization and international institutions on sovereignty.

Anti-Liberal Zealotry Part V: Rediscovering Liberalism
In "Why Liberalism Failed," Patrick Deneen makes an eye-opening contribution to the critique of liberalism. Equating liberalism with the modern tradition of freedom, he distills abuses of state power, nature, culture, technology, and education that are undertaken in freedom's name yet leave citizens less self-sufficient, less disposed to cooperate, and less capable of looking beyond material goods and social status to the cultivation of character and to the claims of duty.
George Will's Guide To Conserving The Founders' Liberalism
Patrick Deneen's disdainful review last month in the Washington Post of George Will's splendid new book, "The Conservative Sensibility," reasserts fashionable misconceptions about liberalism, conservatism, and America. The review — and, more importantly, the book — provide an occasion to clarify the character of the conservatism that takes its bearings from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and from the ideas about human nature and freedom that undergird them.

6000-year old skull marks world's oldest known tsunami victim
Bone fragments could provide clues to surviving future calamities, Jeff Glorfeld reports.
A partial human skull found in 1929 on the north coast of Papua New Guinea could belong to the world's oldest known tsunami victim, research suggests.
In a PLOS One paper published this week, an international team led by anthropologist Mark Golitko from the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana, US, presents evidence that the skull, found in a mangrove tidal area outside the town of Aitape, had been subjected to a violent tsunami that struck the coast about 6000 years ago.
The skull piece was originally found by noted Australian geologist Paul Hossfeld and was originally thought to belong to Homo erectus, dating from between 1.9 million and 143,000 years ago. Recent radiocarbon dating, however, reveals it to be much younger, placing it firmly in the mid-Holocene period.
Golitko and his team travelled to where the skull had been found, near a place Hossfeld had called Paniri Creek, to analyse the area's soil for clues about what killed this person, and to learn more about the geological history of the region.
In testing sediments to determine grain size and geochemistry, they found diatoms, single-celled micro-algae that are among the most common types of phytoplankton, and which can be read as sensitive environmental indicators of water conditions.
"Diatoms make little silica shells around themselves, and when they die, those sink to the bottom," Golitko explains.
"So we put the sediment under a microscope and counted these diatoms, and it more or less tells you about the temperature, salinity and how energetic the water was that they were living in."
He says the sediments in which the Aitape skull was found had only marine diatoms in them, meaning they'd been inundated by ocean water. Further, he says they found tiny specks of silica -- which indicated the diatoms had been smashed apart "really high-energy ocean water".
The high-energy water, Golitko says, combined with chemical signatures and specific sediment grain sizes, all indicate the presence of a tsunami at the time the skull was buried. It's possible that it had been buried previously and was washed out as the tidal wave came across, but based on observations arising from a 1988 tsunami in the same area, this is unlikely.
Golitko hopes this study can help start a conversation about how people adapt and thrive in coastlands that are subject to tropical storms, earthquakes and tsunamis. The Aitape region has endured several tsunamis; the most recent killing more than 2000 people.
People likely started moving from the mountains to the coastlines in the region about 6000 years ago, he says.
And although they entered " this super risky environment", people seem to have lived there more or less continuously ever since.
"So they obviously come up with strategies for dealing with these risks, which could be very pertinent for thinking about what's going to be happening in the next couple hundred years," says Golitko.
"It's the next challenge to look at how people were living in that area and how they're responding to these risks as they start to move into these environments."

Department's Idea
We remain in step with the dynamic developments within the media. Equipped with the latest technology and our new address on the former EXPO site with the CeBit, the worlds' biggest computer trade fair, in the near. Our innovative study programs are part of a network of national and international educational and research institutions in the immediate vicinity. Among these are the University of Applied Science and Arts, the World Wide Learning Lab of lower Saxony and selected cultural areas of the Hanover University of Music and Drama such as acting, jazz, rock and pop.
At the same time, we also retain that which is tried and true: namely the close relationship between scientific theory and the practical application thereof, through the continual international exchange and joint education of both journalists and media managers. Versatility remains our inspiration. Themes ranging from serious newscasts through to trivial daily soaps, about the classical newspaper business through to the WWW make up our research and study programs. Painstaking statistics are as important as creative writing. We observe how the Avant-garde are currently using the latest information technologies while keeping an eye on the public of the traditional mass media. The wide spectrum of careers in which our graduates work confirm our aim of making our students fit for jobs such as research and editing, for advertising and program planning, for PR and music management. Thanks to the many lecturers and media companies.
Keeping in line with the international standards, we offer Bachelor and Master programs since winter semester 2001/02.
We remain curious as to what new challenges are in store for us. The ever-developing media arena will undoubtedly keep us on our toes.

Gabbro is the name of a group of coarse-gained mafic, intrusive, igneous rocks that contain silicate minerals rich in magnesium and iron. It is formed through the cooling and solidification of the Earth's magma deep within Mother Earth. A variety from Madagascar is often referred to as Indigo Gabbro and its appearance is a mottled mixture of off white, black, grey and blue/black/indigo coloured markings.
It is very similar in appearance and properties to another stone called Mystic Merlinite
The frequency of Gabbro connects to the Earth Star and base chakras so that one is able to become grounded in the third dimensional reality, and feel safe and secure in one's physical vehicle.
This combination stone is formed deep within Mother Earth and thus helps to support one so that one can 'go within' to discover the darker side of one's nature enabling one to acknowledge and release any old negative emotions no longer serving one.
Its energy of can aid in 'soul retrieval' whereby one is able to bring any 'soul fragments' back into oneself and thus helping one to become 'whole' again.
