Echo Force Zero: Vol1
**Thanks for Daily First and FP !! CHEERS **
**also, if you don't like anime-inspired stuff or character archetypes, you probably wont care much for this ..you've been warned**
Well, i am Very happy to be getting this thing up! I worked very hard on this and am very happy with the results - - I have decided to classify it as an "Adventure Drama" as far as genre so keep that in mind
i want to thank all the incredible voice actors who really helped me bring this thing to life. and thanks to monoflauta for helping me code it all together
**Don't forget to find the hidden Scene! There will be one in each episode and it will be adding extra canon plot points - -HINT -- you dont have to click anywhere**
Check it out on youtube here:
http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=HD5YKEEQlPs
Later guys!
on its way amigo - - thanks for the kind words (those kind words being "more" )
NOOOO!!! its over!! I cant wait for vol 2!! The animation and the voices were timed just right which is a BIG plus!
thank you so much! i feel like an ass for waiting so long on vol2 - -its coming though!
nothing in anime is ever really original, however your take on the usual plot is still pretty good
thanks so much - - many people are making anime comparisons but it's really not as much an animate homage than a 90's saturday morning style i imitate
Despite the cliches, or perhaps because of, I greatly enjoyed this! :D
I particularly like how fleshed out the world is. It feels organic, as if there really is a history to it, and that makes it easier to care about. The characters each seem to have their personality quirks, none being totally flat. There is a variety of music, and the voice acting isn't over-dramatized.
On the other hand, the animation was a distractingly choppy in a few spots, and questionable spelling took my attention off the actual story ("all ready" vs. "all ready"). Still, it's clear that a great deal of work went into this, and the result is terrific. Can't wait to see more!
Also, thank you for using my track!
Thank you so much for appreciate the amount of work - - sometimes i feel like it is so easy for viewers so just dismiss things - but its very nice to have someone appreciate the amount of work - -
and yes it is BECAUSE of the cliches that you like it, thats why i make it.
It was alright.
The animation like it was rushed somewhat and the lines were sort of cheesy (No offence) But the voice acting was good along with the plot.

Book Description A unique split-page menu planner containing recipes for the finest starters, main courses and desserts, with a cut-in-three format that allows you to mix and match menus on your own. This book or Collection of Recipe cards is put together by master chefs of a premier internationally-famous Hotel in New Delhi called the Oberoi Sheraton. Indian cuisine is as varied as its people and its land. Other variations include - tribal, regional, religious, sectarian and cultural ones. Each of the varied cuisines have their own specialties. These chefs are masters within these cuisines. A typical south Indian vegetarian meal will have nothing in common with a typical north Indian non-vegetarian meal. Not only will the dishes be different but the attitude towards food itself be different. In India, food is woven into the rituals of everyday life, and the preparation, partaking and offering of food is a major preoccupation.. This book is a collection of recipes from all parts of the country. A sheer delight to handle this book, it is a collector's item. Ideal for presentation on festive occasions.
About the Authors This book has recipes by the Master Chefs of India.
Review by Kavita This book has an interesting format as one can pull out the cards under each category and put a whole menu together. This book also has excellent recipes by master chefs whose background and work I personally value greatly. Please look at the table of contents and you will see the dishes are varied and superb.

The Klan continued to target Roman Catholics and sponsored a bill in the state Legislature in 1923 and 1924 to prohibit use of state funds for parochial or private schools.
The bill failed, largely due to opposition from the Catholic bishop in Portland and from Catholics throughout the state, who comprised about 20 percent of the total population.

Canada Ontario
Canadian Weddings DIY Flowers Gold Gown Outdoor Ceremony Outdoor Wedding Simple Stratford Strings & Traps Tented Wedding
Vera Wang Vera Wang Lavender
I love what this bride has to say about the first time she laid her pretty little eyes on her one-day husband. "Oh, that's my husband." So sweet, with no reservations. She just knew. I LOVE that. And I love this fantastic Canadian wedding. It's perfect. Simple, like the way she just knew, sweet like the sentiment, and beautiful, like the couple. Captured by A Simple Photograph, it's pure wedded bliss. The pretty parade continues in the gallery, so click here for more!
Andrew and I met thanks to Craigslist Los Angeles. I was working as a personal organizer and cleaning out an architect's garage and put her old drafting table up for sale on Craigslist. Andrew, new to Los Angeles from Canada, was needing a drafting table for his Production Design Graduate Studies, and he answered the ad. As soon as he got out of his car, a very calm voice in my head told me, "Oh, that's your husband." We started talking and found out we had both worked on the same Television show ten years prior, in Vancouver. He was a set decorator and I was an actor on this awful TV show called, fittingly, STRANGE WORLD. We talked in that hot, dirty garage for almost an hour- once he left I immediately called three girlfriends and said, "I just met my husband." I emailed him that night on a pretext and he asked me out to lunch. We haven't been apart since.
He proposed on my birthday last August 23rd. He waited calmly for all the people celebrating my birthday to leave our house- he waited for me to get into my pajamas, then called me into our kitchen to give me my birthday gifts. The last gift was a ring box with our wedding rings from our first weddings – Andrew's idea was to melt down our wedding rings from our first marriages, which failed, ultimately, but led us to each other… and taught us to find the gift in each other. We are beyond happy. Our rings are stunning, and so meaningful to us both- and when my mother found out we were 'repurposing' our old wedding rings to make new ones, she offered us all the rings from her first marriage, to my father. So, three bad marriages made two stunning rings.
Our wedding and reception was at the Westover Inn in St. Marys, outside of Stratford, Ontario. We chose it basically because I wanted my father to walk me down the aisle. Since my father was performing at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival basically all of 2011, the only way he was going to walk me down the aisle was if we brought the circus to him! So we did, also hoping that a "destination wedding" in Canada on a Monday (the theater's only day off) would limit our attendees. Since I am 48 and we are in the process of adopting a child, we didn't need to spend a great deal of money showing off our love.
We were married by a dear friend (my old writing partner) in a field we decorated ourselves… the colors were cream, off white- I just wanted simple. Simple and natural and all about family. My stepmother did the flowers, my nieces were my bridesmaids and flower girl, my nephews were the ring bearers and we had 77 people attend.
We were so lucky because we basically did everything on the internet- my dress was a Vera Wang Lavender Label Gown from MyHabit.com, the Westover Inn was recommended by a woman at the Festival– and they were great. Andrew and I stayed there for a week, it was great.
My father was charged with finding the band and a photographer since he was in Stratford and had lots of contacts at the Festival. He booked a fabulous trio called Strings & Traps and Erin Samuell- and we were thrilled with both.
We danced all night long- one of the highlights was my niece Olivia singing Adele's Rolling in The Deep, accompanied by my brother Cormac on drums, my nephew William on bass, my nephew Jack on keyboards and it was extraordinary. Brought the house down! Then everyone else started jamming, singing, and the band even stayed an extra hour because they were having fun too!
Our wedding favors were a Brooklyn artist (name escaping me) that I found on Pinterest, and who has a shop on Etsy- he made these really adorable/witty prints called "Pick Your Battles"- we framed them in IKEA white frames- and people LOVED them.

Killing off those who disagree with you?
Sounds like communism to me.
Killing off those who disagree with you?
Sounds like communism to me.
Good job, you read exactly half my post, and replied to that half only. You missed the bigger point in the second half.
i'm thinking of moving how much does internet cost in your trailer by the swamp
lol, yes, murder is one of the main tenets of communism
It's a widely believed fact!
Hell no, think about the poor knife!
I'm just gonna attribute anything negative to political ideologies I don't like
"you raped her, eh? you sound like a federalist"
"you jay-walked? anarcho-syndicalist scum"
no i'd just want him dead
Sigma, did you just respond to one of my comments twice?
lol, you're an idiot.
Karl Marx said to directly kill all those who oppose people.
Hmmm, a typical remark about immediately stereotyping someone with conservative views. Perhaps this makes you a far-left brainwashed homosexual. Should we even try arguing with you?
This thread is made of iron.
You're saying killing people is a tenant of communism and someone "got served" when in reality, it was a crappy terrible joke.
And you imply I'M the idiot.
Actually I read the enitre thing and only replied to one half of it. It sounds to me that you're suggesting that people who listen to Glenn Beck(conservatives basically) can't think for themsleves? That kind of sounds condescending. I could say the same about some people who voted for Obama because "He's going to fix everything"
In order to obtain communism, one party must be completely in power.
This usually either involves uniting all the political parties or killing them off.
Look at the Russian revolution or the Chinese revolution. The Russian "whites" were wiped out and disbanded, and the Chinese Nationalists were destroyed.
what of it
Too much for you.
snip nevermind
Good job trying to understand communism, you fail, try again.
You are an idiot.
The Russians were never Communist, neither were the Chinese.
Sounds more like something Hitler would've done.
Actually he did do that.
You're talking to boba_fett, who most likely thinks Hitler was a communist who is the father of Obama.
"Holy shit, Jacob!"
"What is it, Brian?"
"The president of china just launched nukes at England!"
"Really? What's your source?"
"Oh I'll just pull up the topic. It had the source in it. Wait..."
"I... I can't do it... there seems to be a thread about Glenn Beck in the way."
This just in! Ratings = Truthiness!
Yeah son he totally copy pasted my post and totally powned me by making a stupid and verifiably inconsequential point.
Man Boba you are like the smartest poster eveerrrrrrrrr you should teach at harvard
Wait I think we're gonna find out that you had an "accident" cause of this.
No actually sounds exactly like Christianity/Islam.
Lol all anti glen beck things on the first page got 1 disagree. wonder who it was...
I don't like Glenn Beck. He brings in too much emotion.
Some of his points are decent, but he uses too much drama.
First of all, you've got a serious problem if you go to Facepunch for your news. Facepunch is probably not the most reliable source.
Secondly, I'm not saying that I'm unable to view a thread because there's so much bullshit floating around these forums; I'm saying that I don't like wading through all the crap on the forums to get to the things that are actually worth reading about.
It's amazing how you can read something that someone writes and get something totally different out of it.
It's been the third time I've had to paraphrase my own post for it to get through your thick skull. Hopefully this time it will stick.
Perhaps that is why your political views are so seriously skewed.
I would suggest that you quit speaking out of your ass, because all you're doing is spewing shit.
like communism.
Don't like it?
Then stop whining.
I think I'm going to just ignore this post because it makes about as much sense as your previous arguments. You have a way of shoving extra words in where they don't belong and it's getting pretty annoying now.
(Nice edit Trotsky)
Trotsky, can you please translate?
I really don't understand what you're saying.
I was deleting the end, and I missed the like.
Are you people seriously this brainless that you can't spot a typo?
First off, you just fucking defeated your point with your first sentence. This is a forum for entertainment. And this thread seems to have entertained people. So it's perfectly alright by your own fucking standards.
Second, are you saying that you don't think this thread should be posted because then you would have to go to the utterly agonizing lengths of reading the title?
"you don't understand godf ur dum i meen ur so dum that you dont understand
i mee your words are like shit coming from a butt"
Here's a tip, it's ad hominem when your point is an insult. If you can't tell me how I misunderstood you then you're just being a stupid jackass.
Not really.
Is your irony meter at the shop?
You make a lot of typos then.
And Guffin, calm down. You freak out way too much and spam italics.
It must be broken, because I fail to see what is incorrect about that statement.
You are right for once. This is a forum for entertainment. Yet your "scenario" is completely contradictory of your point. But the problem is this:
You're distorting what I said again.
I said:And somehow you get the impression that I said something completely different.
I don't mind reading titles either. But I completely fail to see why anyone would want to read about how Glenn Beck makes himself cry. If it truly fascinates you, then fine, but I don't understand what you think is so amazing about it.
And finally, if all you're getting from my post is "i mee your words are like shit coming from a butt", then it's probably worth re-reading them. And somehow it amazes me that you can say
When this is now the fourth time I've had to clarify for you now.
I'm going to ignore this post.
Now to respond and say exactly why I am ignoring this post.
What do you mean I'm not spamming anything.
I tried to laugh at that.
Coughed up blood instead.
I don't see how you can possibly imagine I'd take that as anything other than an astounding victory.
Ooh. It hurts to fall victim to your own game, doesn't it?
I'm telling you that you suck at humor.
Yet your "serious" posts make me laugh.
So angry, yet so entertaining.
Well, yeah, it would if I did.
Unfortunately, you'll notice that my point has never been that you are stupid, my point was that you're wrong, X is the reason why you are wrong, and that you're stupid.
Your point was "You're an idiot and you don't understand". And you have yet to tell me how I misunderstood you yet. QED, you're an idiot. Get it?
I still see that as an astounding victory.

Novus Scientists Share Newest Findings at the 2014 PSA Annual Meeting
New Information on enzymes and pigments drive research presentations
St. Louis – July 16, 2014 – The wealth of scientific information that is shared during the 2014 Poultry Science Association (PSA) Annual Meeting makes it a valuable industry event. There are more than 850 scientists, extension specialists, educators, producers, students and administrators from the global poultry industry on hand and Novus is proud to be among this esteemed group. Novus scientists contributed four oral presentations and one poster presentation to PSA, revealing groundbreaking research on the supplementation of enzymes, chelated trace minerals and pigments.
Dr. Frances Yan is presenting the results from two research trials focused on CIBENZA® enzyme feed additives from Novus. The first presentation is the Effect of protease on growth performance and carcass traits of broilers fed diets with different crude protein levels. This study investigated the effect of CIBENZA® DP100 on the growth performance and carcass traits of 18 male broilers affected by dietary crude protein levels. Body weight, feed intake, feed conversion rate (FCR) and mortality were determined at days 19, 35 and 42 and on day 43, carcass parameters – dressing percentage, breast yield and fat pad weight – were obtained. The data revealed that in broilers fed corn-soybean meal-based diets; CIBENZA DP100 had the potential to increase body weight and to improve FCR when the dietary protein level was not optimal, without compromising processing parameters as compared to other test diets.
Dr. Yan is also presenting the Effect of dietary protease and NSP enzyme on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broilers at PSA.A floor pen study of eight replicate pens of 18 male broilers was conducted to evaluate the effect of CIBENZA DP100 and CIBENZA® CSM, when used alone or in combination, on growth performance and carcass parameters of broilers. The results demonstrated that in broilers fed wheat and corn-soybean meal-based diets containing dried distillers grains with solubles, supplementation with CIBENZA DP100 and CIBENZA CSM were able to improve FCR, and their effect was independent of one another as compared to other test diets.
Dr. Marta Blanch is presenting regarding the use of pigments in chickens with her presentation entitled: Effect of two marigold-based yellow pigments on chicken pigmentation. The study compared the pigmenting efficiency of XAMACOL® Max with a major commercial marigold product high in zeaxanthin in chicks up to 45 days. The results showed that XAMACOL Max achieved a higher pigmentation on broiler skin pigmentation in both live broilers and cold carcasses than the commercial product, and that lower levels of XAMACOL Max could be used to attain similar yellowness when fed at commercial levels.
Dr. Juxing Chen is presenting the Effect of trace minerals on the development of bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis in poultry. Multiple research and commercial modes were used to test the efficacy of MINTREX® chelated trace minerals in reducing bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Compared to inorganic trace minerals, birds fed MINTREX showed fewer signs of lameness, such as tibial head necrosis, femoral lesions, and BCO.
Additionally, Dr. Megh Manangi from Novus presented a poster entitled, Efficacy of a next-generation microbial phytase on apparent ileal amino acid and crude protein digestibility in broiler chicks fed non-phytate phosphorus-deficient corn-soybean meal based diets. In this 19-day experiment, the effect of supplementation of a next generation microbial phytase, CIBENZA® PHYTAVERSE®, on apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and crude protein was evaluated in broiler chicks. The study showed that in broiler chicks fed non-phytate phosphorus deficient corn-soybean meal diets, supplementation of CIBENZA PHYTAVERSE at 500 U/kg diet significantly improved digestibility of crude protein and essential amino acids.
Novus's longstanding dedication to poultry science and industry-leading research in animal nutrition is highlighted in these presentations. The expert staff and product offering is driving Novus to a leadership position in enzymes, and breaking new ground in carotenoid technologies.

Balloon animals may look cute, but even the horses are incredibly hard to ride. Board a more buoyant balloon with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $79 for a hot air balloon ride for one child aged 4–10 (a $175 value)
- $105 for a hot air balloon ride for one adult (a $175 value)
One hour before sunrise, voyagers meet at the convention center at the Radisson Resort Orlando Celebration, where the flight team greets them for their balloon ride. Passengers watch as the balloon fills with hot air before it lifts them skyward for a 60-minute tour of the Florida countryside. Once aboard, the ride features views of the region's nature preserves, Walt Disney World, and the distant urban skyline. Upon touchdown, riders cap their adventure with a buffet breakfast and a commemorative flight certificate, with guests 21 and older toasting one another with a glass of champagne.
This Groupon is not valid toward use on the weekends until June 8, 2013.
Orlando Balloon Rides
During 29 years of drifting through the Florida skies, Orlando Balloon Rides had already amassed an impressive fleet of gargantuan flying inflatables when a new balloon arrived. The product of an ambitious factory in Spain, the newcomer holds more than 400,000 cubic feet of hot air and stands as tall as an 11-story building. Four times the size of the average hot air inflatable, it's among the most massive hot air balloons currently flown in the United States.
Now reigning as a popular vessel for the company's sunrise tours, the mammoth balloon can fly away with a basket of 24 passengers as it commands the skies, dwarfing most clouds and giving the Goodyear Blimp an identity crisis. From any of Orlando Balloon Rides' baskets, passengers take in high-altitude views of Walt Disney World and the city's skyline, sights visitors rarely get to see from above. Each of the company's hot air balloons is piloted by an FAA-certified pilot who also serves as a knowledgeable narrator of the scenery below.

Hmmmm, A new free fire zone for a mass murdering BG. I wonder how long before a amc theater is hit.
When you think about it, even IF people (good guys and bad guys alike) abided by a no-guns policy, that addresses only ONE of like a THOUSAND different potential ways people could attack and do harm to theatergoers.
It's ridiculous for them to even bother with such a policy -- but it's not intended to be functional, and we know that. It's intended to continue to demonize guns and gun owners; it's intended to hassle us; it's intended to continue to put the idea before the public that "surely, guns are bad and must be eliminated" as a foregone conclusion.
It's a strike in the ideological war that those at the top wish to wage against gun ownership. Sort of like, I guess, if WE owned a corporation, we'd probably look for ways to be PRO-gun, and make it known that we were.
Long list.Originally Posted by jowgafist; For a more complete list:
At this point I think we need a Gun Owner Friendly Business List instead, so we know where we are really appreciated.
It never stops amazing me what people are thinking with regards to 'NO GUN' signs.
My first question is how can someone delude themselves into thinking a sign will stop BGs from bringing a gun. If I was carrying a weapon illegally, do they really think it would stop me from carrying? I don't think so.....& I'm willing to bet they don't think so either.
I think the real reason is they don't want LEGALLY carried firearms. They know they won't be able to stop a BG with a gun. I think they don't trust ANYBODY who carries. I bet they wouldn't mind even prohibiting off duty LEOs from carrying. I'm betting they are just totally ANTI-gun.
I bet they are the type of person who doesn't trust themselves with a firearm, so they project those same fellings to others. They think the mere fact of having a gun will cause conflict.
Even when the facts show that CCW'ers are more law-abiding than even most LEOs, they don't care. Their reasoning is based on emotion & not fact.
The other reason that they post is due to litigation fears. They think that by banning guns, they will avoid lawsuits. In my view the opposite should/could happen. I think that since they have dis-armed the patrons, it is now THEIR responsibilty to protect them. That way if something bad occurs, the liability is now theirs.......& as far as I'm concerned, in that situation...let the lawsuits commence.

I'll bet they'll still continue to show action/adventure movies with lots of guns in them though. This is nothing new at AMC; AMC has actually had these signs posted for years, at least here in AZ for the past 3 and back in PA when I worked LE there prior to that. I look at it this way - if it is truely concealed, no-one will know you have it until you need to use it.
The new Cardinal Stadium in Glendale,AZ is doing just that - prohibiting even off-duty LEOs from carrying inside, and they are patting down at the door.

Wonder when they did that? I was just in an AMC owned theater last week. I didn't see a sign. Interesting to note there was a shooting there once. I do not believe the shooter was licensed. I was there that night about two hours previous to the indicident.
A truly small, hometown bank (100 years old, four branches) in town has ghost-busting signs all over and constantly gets robbed.
OTOH - Chase across the street has NO posted signs and has rarely if ever been robbed.

The predictions of 'free fire zones' and 'victim zones,' etc. have carried about as much weight as the antis claims that CCW will result in Dodge City wild west shootouts and blood running in the streets.

Orange County: An epicenter of real estate fraud
Orange County is known for sand, surf and rich Republicans. But did you know it's also the epicenter of real estate fraud in California?
It's true. For the third year in a row, the Legislative Analyst's Office reported this month that Orange County law enforcement agencies investigated the most real estate fraud cases among the state's most-populated counties in fiscal year 2011-2012.
In fiscal year 2008-09, the LAO reported that Orange County investigated the second most real estate fraud cases.
These figures come from a regular report produced by the analyst's office about California counties that participate in something called the Real Estate Fraud Prosecution Trust Fund Program. Enacted by the Legislature in 1995, the program allows counties to charge a small fee for the filing of certain real estate documents, with the proceeds supporting the fight against real estate fraud. The fees were upped from $2 to $3 in 2009.
As part of the law, the district attorneys of participating counties are require to file an annual report with their county board of supervisors and the LAO detailing the number of real estate fraud cases filed as well as financial information about the health and condition of their trust fund.
The report released this month lists 22 of the state's 30 most-populated counties participating in the program, although the LAO has suspected in the past that some participating counties have failed to file annual reports.
Even if that's so, the numbers for Orange County are still striking. In the last fiscal year, Orange County investigated 340 cases of real estate fraud. The next highest county that year was Los Angeles, with 234 cases investigated.
The year before that, Orange County investigated 414 cases, with Los Angeles again coming in second with 212.
In fiscal year 2009-10, Orange County reported investigating 309 cases of real estate fraud. The next highest county that year was San Diego (Los Angeles wasn't listed) at 175.
In fiscal year 2008-09, Orange County investigated the second most real estate fraud cases at 154, behind San Bernardino county, which reported investigating 213.
Orange County, in other words, has been home to a lot of real estate fraud allegations. But why?
[caption id="attachment_53647" align="alignright" width="299"] OC District Attorney Tony Rackauckas[/caption]
Well, one theory is the pleasant climate.
"In my view, crooks like to live in nice weather," says Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Henderson, who heads the Orange County D.A.'s Major Fraud Unit.
In recent years, Henderson said, Orange County has seen "a lot of loan-mod mills" that promise distressed homeowners a loan modification but end up just making off with their money. Ironically, Henderson said, investigators have found that some people who work in these mills used to be involved with selling toxic loans before the mortgage crisis in 2008.
Prior to that meltdown, the Orange County didn't have a lot of complaints about real estate fraud, she said. But that didn't mean Orange County didn't have fraud -- it just had a different kind, Henderson said.
"Orange County has always been a center for mill-based fraud," she said, referring to "boiler rooms" or call centers where workers try to sell unsuspecting consumers questionable products or services.
Henderson said O.C.'s recent spate of loan modification mills typically have targeted customers out of state. She said that's on purpose, because it makes it harder for swindled customers to track down the mill and ask for their money back. She also said it makes prosecuting the cases much harder as well, because Orange County would have to fly in victims from across the country.
According to LAO's most-recent report, there were 545 victims of real estate fraud in Orange County in fiscal year 2011-12 and 38 real estate fraud cases filed. That year, Orange County secured 15 convictions for real estate fraud. Cases often involve dozens of victims.
The year before, the county nabbed 12 convictions and filed 460 cases. In 2009-10, OC had 15 convictions and filed 36 cases and in 2008-09 it had 1 conviction and filed 11 cases.

I would like to report the following behavior. I have scheduled task to copy a directory on a server (and all its contents including subfolders) to a local directory. There is a directory on the server named "07-20-11 Order". SmartFTP first copied this directory to my local drive as "07-29-11 Order". In subsequent runs of this task this directory and all of its contents is being copied as "7-29-11 Order", without the preceeding zero. If I delete either the "07…" or "7…" directories from my local drive, when the task runs it recreates the one I deleted. This seems very strage and is resulting in a 2GB folder being duplicated on my local machine.
replication bug?

It is hard to see why SmartFTP would randomly remove characters from file/folder name?
Posted 05 August 2011 - 01:42 PM
I agree. It is hard to see why. But this is what is happening and why I posted to this forum. Do you have any ideas? Or is this the extent of support that is available on this product?
Posted 05 August 2011 - 03:34 PM
We are unable to reproduce the problem. Also as I said, I do not think the problem is caused by SmartFTP.
Posted 06 August 2011 - 02:05 PM
Unfortunately, I think you are not correct about this. The only application involved is SmartFTP. There is a directory on the server, a directory on the client, and SFTP. SFTP is scheduled to start up through Windows scheduler and then runs a copy scheduled task on instantiation. I see no other software involved.
Posted 06 August 2011 - 04:40 PM
Please provide detailed instructions on how to reproduce the problem on a fresh installation of SmartFTP on a newly setup of Windows 7. It is important that you try to reproduce the problem with at least steps as possible (e.g. without the Windows task scheduler, etc).
Posted 08 August 2011 - 02:54 PM
I'm sorry, but I am not going to reinstall Windows to debug this. Thank you anyway.
Posted 08 August 2011 - 02:56 PM
You can install it on a VM or install SmartFTP on different computer and try to reproduce the problem.

FRACKING — which has sparked worldwide controversy — could happen on the Island, according to an oil company with a licence to search for shale gas here.
An Australian oil company is examining the results of seismology tests to decide if it pursues the process on the IW.
The news came a week after the government ended its ban on the drilling process, in which a chemical solution is pumped underground at high pressure to cause cracks in rocks and release gas.
Supporters say it could help to make the UK more energy self-sufficient and reduce energy price fluctuations.
Opponents say the process has led to polluted water, dangerous emissions and earth tremors.
A study by the British Geological Survey found the entire Island could be sitting on significant reserves.
Oil and gas exploration licences have been awarded for much of the south of the Island, from The Needles to Sandown.
The licences, held by several companies, including Norwest, Wessex Exploration and Northern Petroleum, allow for oil exploration as well as shale gas drilling by fracking.
Northern Petroleum has ruled out fracking at this stage, but Norwest, which started fracking in Western Australia this year, is evaluating seismology.
David Hedderwick, of Norwest, said environmental concerns would be taken into account before drilling started and regulations would prevent the problems that had occurred in the USA.
Island-based geologist Dr Bruce Denness said IW reserves would be attractive to drilling companies because the geologoy should make the gas easy to extract.
He did not believe the process was a significant risk to land stability on the Island, even in areas prone to landslip, such as the Undercliff.
But David Green, chief executive of Ecoisland Community Interest Company, said there had been concerns water used in fracking contained chemicals that could pollute water sources.

Our previous DIY post mentioned the genius of former D*S contributor Brittany Watson Jepsen of The House That Lars Built. Coincidentally, a new tutorial from Brittany landed in our inbox, and we couldn't wait to share it. Using the good old friendship bracelet knot technique (I do not want think about how many of these I've made in my life; my big toe hurts at the mere mention of them), Brittany created a beautiful, textural cushion for a spoked chair that can easily be removed, washed or tied off to create a loose pad. I love the look, and it's a great way to reinvent this classic knotting method on a larger scale. Thanks so much for sharing, Brittany! — Kate
When friendship bracelets started coming back, I was floored at how popular they were becoming again. I just couldn't bring myself to get back into it, else I somehow revert back to my chubby fifth-grade self. I started thinking how I could apply the same technique to different forms yet still achieve the same beauty of colors and patterns. I first came up with a rug, and now I've created a chair cushion. The chair is a perfect vehicle for the technique because the spokes hold it tightly in place. — Brittany

Read the full how-to after the jump!
- chair with spokes
- needle
- thread
- scissors
- 2 sets of 8 colors (you can repeat the colors) of fabric in 12″ x 36″ strips (the size will also be determined by the depth of your chair, so get extra and sew it on to extend the length if needed)
1. Decide the order of the colors. I find it best to take a deep color and pair it next to a light color.
2. Take the first two colors and tie them around the outer spoke.
3. Take the next set of colors and tie them around the next spoke. Repeat the same order of colors starting with the opposite side. Repeat until you reach the middle.
4. Start tying by creating a number "4" with the two outer strands of fabric.
5. Take the fabric and go under the "4" you created and tie it to the top.
6. Take the same piece of fabric and go on to the next piece of fabric and do the same tie. Repeat until you get to the middle.
7. Repeat the same process from the other side, making sure you reverse the number 4.
8. With the two pieces of fabric in the middle, tie them together.
9. Take the new outer piece of fabric and repeat the process.
10. Repeat until you get to the end of the chair. I didn't knot the last colors in the middle so it wouldn't create a point on the chair.
11. Cut the fabric off at the ends and sew them into each other.
12. Tuck the back ends into the chair so it's easy to take the cushion on and off.
The best part about the project is that it's totally washable and can be done using t-shirts or any cast-off fabric pieces. Enjoy!
Oh….my…gosh! THis is freaking brillaint! I have been neeeeeeding some chair pads so bad, but they're all so darn boring. I love it and I am adding it to my to-do list!
How incredibly adorable. Love the colours…so much better than the chair cushions you find at big-box stores. Great DIY!
This is genius! Now I want some wooden chairs with spokes…
Too freakin cute! I love this idea. This is another one of those ways that demonstrates how cool it is to take normally small things and make them BIG. (Giant cross stitch, giant flowers…)
Um, I love this! Why don't any of my eclectic group of chairs have the right kind of back rungs? Thanks for making me smile!
I like the up-cycling idea. A color combination is the key!
I am in love with that color palette!
Would love to try this! I could really commit & make a large floor rug…
OH this is genius! Thanks!
This is seriously so cool. I think I need to go raid my fabric stash!
i love this.
This is so brilliant and it looks gorgeous. Have just the chair in mind to try this out. Thanks.
Such a stunning idea and such detailed How-To!! Thanks soooo much for sharing!
this is just stunning!!!! could really try that out soon!
seriously, this is absolutely brilliant..!!! We have chairs like this, with spokes and a weird size, no cushions would fit on them .. Now I know what to do with them. Thank you for this brilliant How To!
what a GREAT idea! I have to ask you, where have you found that chair? Because I live in Finland and I just found the same chair (x4) at recycling center here in Helsinki. That blue/turquoise color looks nice, but mine chairs are going to be black ;)
I made one of these, turned out great! and more comfy than i thought it would be. :) Thanks!!
I finally found someone who understands my friendship bracelet obsession. Brilliant.
wow this is awesome! wish i could do this but after seeing how intricate it is i think ill just admire your work! Soo cute!
This is 100% brilliant!! I have so many scraps of fabric that I can't throw away because "they'll be useful one day", and I think you might have just found the use! Thanks :)
A friend and I tried it and it looks adorable but for some reason ours only covered about half the chair before our fabric ran out, even though our chair looks similar to yours. Very sad :(
Super cute!
LOVIN this idea. Must add, I have memory issues and. I know you put all kinds of detail-I was wondering if you could show.the bracelet size do maybe I could remember and put you idea to use. I get it if NO WAY! Still a great project
So I tried this and it was a disaster. Wasted $45 of fabric for this project that doesn't explain the details. I'm sure there is a step missing in there somewhere because mine turned out NOTHING like this. I consider myself to be good at projects such as this one, but something went terribly wrong with this one. NEGATIVE 5 stars, unfortunately.
I have wanted to try this for a long time and I finally did, it didn't work so well. I bought $50 of fabric for 4 chairs and was able to make a cushion for one chair with strips left over for maybe another half cushion. The one I did make turned out super cute, I just don't want to spend another $100 or more to make cushions for the other chairs. I wish this tutorial had explained that more fabric was definitely needed (I feel like the blue chair must be kid-size) so I could have calculated my costs before purchasing!
can you tell us approx. how long each piece of fabric should be? I love this and want to try it for my chairs, but need to know about how much fabric im gonna be in for =)

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Each week at Forbes we scan our database of corporate insiders to see who got richer from the action in the stock market. With the Dow up a shocking 1.5% over last Friday, the markets have managed what no one saw coming: a winning streak of sorts, with all three major indices finishing in the black for the second week running. Though domestic equities are still well off their March highs and general economic pessimism is rampant across the globe, for this week at least, both investors and insiders managed to do alright. Here, some of the biggest winners from the week that was:
Wealth FX
Want to try your hand at trading the international currency markets? Foreign Exchange Capital Markets, or FXCM, was established in 1999 as one of the first online foreign exchange brokers. Today, the firm provides access to currency markets to retail investors and institutions alike, along with the ability to trade on margin. FXCM also maintains a media arm which produces www.dailyFX.com, a site that provides "market news and analysis" for foreign exchange traders. The company released its May metrics last Friday, calling the month "solid for FXCM." The results sent shares steadily higher over the week, until an announcement on Thursday that FXCM had acquired a 50% controlling stake in institutional foreign exchange broker Lucid Markets. News of the $176 million deal bumped shares up nearly 9% overnight. All told, FXCM has risen 15.2% week over week. For chairman, CEO and founder Dror Niv, this means his 8.9 million shares are now worth $110.3 million, $14.6 million more than they were worth a week ago and $25.1 million more than they were worth at May lows.
Vera Fab-ley
Vera Bradley, the preppy purveyor of printed paisley cotton luggage, handbags and accessories, was up 10% week over week at the open on Friday. The stock bounced off of a 52 week low of $18.91 set last week after an analyst upgrade from KeyBanc. The Cleveland-based institution changed its recommendation from hold to buy on June 6th, with a price target of $26 on Vera Bradley shares. The company's stock has been the target of heavy short selling in recent months, which has pushed the price well below Wall Street's average target of $32.29. The company has beaten both revenue and earnings estimates the past 7 quarters, however, and it seems investors are finally seeing some upside. The design house was launched in 1982 after co-founders Patricia Miller and Barbara Baekgaard noted a lack of feminine looking luggage while they waited for a flight in Atlanta. Baekgaard, who named the company for her mother Vera Bradley, a woman of "classic style and grace," currently holds 8.8 million shares of the outfit. After the week's 10% increase her stake is worth $208.5 million, $19 million more than it was worth last Friday.
Really Real-Time Rich
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg found himself at the top of the billionaire pile at the close on Friday. As Facebook shares pushed past the $30 mark, the 28-year-old's net worth grew by $833.29 million on the session. Investors were clearly impressed by the new advertising scheme being tested by the company through which users will be able to share select offsite ads through the social networking platform. The stock's 6.07% gain on the day also signals that investors are not particularly concerned about Samsung's recently reported plans to launch a Facebook competitor. While Zuckerberg was the biggest winner in nominal terms on Friday, the greatest percentage gain was enjoyed by Groupon's Eric Lefkofsky. The value of the early investor's Groupon stake grew by 6.47%, or $78.87 million, as the stock bounced after several days on the decline. With the Dow up nearly 1%, just six of the 50 billionaires Forbes tracks in real time were down on the session. The biggest loser of the lot in both nominal and percentage terms was the world's 14th richest man, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. Fresh off his $10 million gift to the Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future, the value of Adelson's Las Vegas Sands shares fell by $219.99 million, slightly more than 1%.

Observe how Lake Bonneville compares to today's Great Salt Lake. At its greatest extent, Lake Bonneville was 346 miles long and 145 miles wide. It covered 20,000 square miles and was over 1,000 feet deep. This image is extracted from the 22-part video series The Geography of Utah, conceived and written by Albert L. Fisher, PhD of the University of Utah. The series encompasses the political, cultural, historical and sociological geography of the state of Utah. It describes the activities, the land, and the people. Much of the video material was videotaped on location throughout the state of Utah, giving the student and interested viewer valuable field trip experiences.

As the fashion flock descends on New York City, they will be welcomed by cultural mavens suggesting they fill their free time by strolling through the opening of photographer Eugene Atget's retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, or the show of Renoir's full-length portraits at the Frick, or the display of clothing by Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta.
This last example sounds a bit like fashion week itself. But in fact it's an exhibition, at the Fashion Institute of Technology, of the work of the most influential members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America in honour of that body's 50th anniversary. And though such institutional memorials are generally associated with the work of past as opposed to living designers, the show couldn't be more appropriate. For it is increasingly clear – and nowhere more so than in New York, which hosts a "blogger pit" in its Lincoln Centre hub – that the traditional model of a catwalk fashion show (an event for very few, displaying products that will be seen by the general public six months later) is, like a great artist that's being honoured posthumously, inexorably dead.
In large part, the internet is responsible for this seismic shift. Online catwalk images – either simulcast during fashion shows or posted soon after on brands' proprietary websites and blogs – have become ubiquitous. And viewers often don't just see the (invitation-only) show on their screens – they're given a virtual all-access pass, including backstage titbits and pictures posted to followers on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
"There is a democratisation in terms of backstage or front row action: people really are interested and hungry for content and news and trends," says John Demsey, group president of MAC Cosmetics, sponsors of around a third of New York's fashion shows and presentations. "The digital space creates a much deeper connection between people actually buying product, fans of the designers, or people who may just want to know more."
"It's really lifting the veil of what was a privileged access experience," says Peter Levy, IMG's managing director of fashion, who oversees Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. "We live in a digital age and I really look at Fashion Week as an opportunity to unveil spectacle."
"The backstage goings on and the runway shows themselves are catnip for YouTube," says Paul Wilmot, whose eponymous public relations company works with a wide range of designers. "And what's not to like? You've got beautiful girls in fabulous clothes, with great accessories, lit well, and you have motion. And there's the 'high drama' of the interaction between hair and make-up and the dressers and the girls."
Still, not every fashion show on the web this season is open to everyone. Thursday marks the launch of Digital Fashion Shows, a new website that has been designed to broadcast pre-taped, audience-free runway shows to a select group of press and retailers, each of whom receives a password via email in lieu of a ticket to a physical event. "We were looking for a way to balance the traditions of fashion with modern technology and maintain the integrity of the process of what we're doing," explains Ed Filipowski, who is spearheading the site and is co-president of KCD, the fashion publicity and production company.
Although just two shows will go up this season – Prabal Gurung's first collection for Japanese manufacturer/distributor Onward Kashiyama's ICB brand, and a French line during Paris Fashion Week that has not yet been announced – the site plans to grow substantially for the spring/summer 2013 shows this autumn.
Another convention of fashion shows – that their designs are shown around six months in advance of when they hit stores – is also changing fast. The website Moda Operandi, based in New York, pre-sells designer collections within a few days of their initial press presentations (with consumers receiving their orders months later, when conventional stores do). When it launched a year ago, some were sceptical about whether consumers would pre-buy pieces by high-end designers so far in advance without being able to try them on. Yet the site has steadily grown in popularity, particularly with overseas clients who account for around a third of its business.
"People really know what's going down the runway – they get excited about those things and want to secure them then and there," says the site's co-founder, Aslaug Magnusdottir. "People are inundated with images: you can see every single style on style.com and Vogue.com, all over the blogs, everywhere. Our model is a way to allow the consumer to really connect with the designer and select from the full runway collection."
"They've become a resource overnight," says Wilmot of the site. "The idea of an online trunk show is smart. Everybody's looking at it."
Indeed, other retailers and brands have started to integrate online pre-order sales into their Fashion Week plans. The American department-store chain Nordstrom live-streamed Jason Wu's fashion show on Friday and is pre-selling a large handful of pieces from the collection on its site, starting next Wednesday. Burberry pre-sells some of its Prorsum collection online after simulcasting the show each season, and also streams the shows in some stores in a dedicated space dubbed the Burberry Retail Theatre.
Brands such as BCBG Max Azria and Hervé Léger are selling some looks in advance on their websites, with each of two autumn deliveries available online around six weeks before they reach traditional stores.
Pre-selling is particularly appealing to retailers and designers because it pushes customers to pay full price instead of waiting for things to go on sale, or simply choosing to buy something else in the meantime. At Moda Operandi, customers make a 50 per cent down payment when they place an order, which means designers get paid, at least partially, months earlier than they do from traditional stores.
"Fashion Week is no longer just a trade show," says MAC's Demsey. RIP ready-to-wear as we knew it.

Santa Barbara Weather: 66.0°F | Humidity: 47% | Pressure: 29.96in ( Falling) | Conditions: Scattered Clouds | Wind Direction: South | Wind Speed: 7.6mph [see map]
Search Armed Suspect updated: Feb 11, 2014, 10:52 PM
Source: Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office
Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Detectives and Santa Maria Police Department Officers are searching for a suspect who may be armed in the Santa Maria area. The suspect, 29-year-old Daniel Arbayo Gil is a documented gang member who fled from Sheriff's Detectives this evening, February 11, when they arrived around 5 p.m. to serve a search warrant at his residence located in the 2400 block of Bentley Avenue in Santa Maria. Gil was the subject of a criminal investigation related to a weapons violation.
When Sheriff's Detectives with the Gang Enforcement Unit arrived to serve the search warrant at his residence, they discovered Gil standing in the roadway in front of his home. When they attempted to make contact with him, he ran inside the residence. Before Sheriff's Detectives and Santa Maria Police Department Officers were able to fully contain the home, Gil escaped out the rear of the residence and is believed to have fled toward Blosser Avenue.
Gil is a Hispanic male, approximately 6'2" tall and weighs about 230 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing grey sweatpants and no shirt or shoes. The Sheriff's Office wants to warn residents that Gil may be armed and is considered dangerous. If you see him, you are cautioned not to make contact with him but rather to call 911 immediately. To leave an anonymous tip on his whereabouts, call 805-681-4171.
