NOVEMBER 1, 1973 - HESHVAN 6 Oivolid to Amtrlcan — and Ji wish Idaali o Red Cross Policy Toward Blood For Israel Clarified The Jewish Community Blood Donor Council has received many requests for information regarding blood donations for Israel. The official word from the American National Red Cross is as follows: "The American Red Cross will meet official requests for blood to the best of its ability and resources as it always attempts to do when appeals for assistance are received from abroad. Red Cross regional blood centers will accept blood donations on behalf of all victims of the middle east conflict or for a specific nation involved. To date the American Red Cross has not received" official rquests for blood or blood products." I appeal to each of you to come to the Jewish Center on Wednesday, November 7th, from noon to six P.M. to donate blood. If and when Israel requests blood, I assure you the American Red Cross will send it. If such a'request is not received, your donation will be credited to our own central. Ohio Jewish Community Blood Donor Council. There is absolutely no basis to the rumor that the Red Cross will not cooperate with Israel. , Jennie Zeidman, President Jewish Community Blood Donor Council Torah Academy Dinner To Feature Theodore Bikel The 1973 edition of Columbus Torah Academy's Annual Scholarship Dinner will provide refreshing excitement for patrons of the school.

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger offered both the arrows and the olive branches in a news con¬ ference at the State Department that was broadcast live by radio and. television throughout the world. He spoke in the name of President Nixon and his Administration. Kissinger's comments came in the wake of a note from the Soviet government addressed to Nixon that the Soviet Union would use its own troops in Egypt to enforce the ceasefire unless the . U.S. joined hi a united police movement. But Nixon, acting with the unanimous opinion of the National _ Security Council, Kissinger>\ said .rejected the threat of unilateral action, and on the morning of Oct. 25 alerted the American armed forces throughout the world for possible movements to/y oppose the; Soviet intrusion;! ■.

Autonomy, recently acquired by Hewlett-Packard, is under fire amid allegations of accounting "improprieties" that HP says led it to take an $8.8 billion charge on the deal.
Mike Lynch, the former CEO of Autonomy who is accused of masterminding the accounting fraud, has denied all charges.
In an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell" Tuesday, Lynch said the HP allegations were "absolutely factually incorrect" and said the problems must've been due to "mismanagement" at the company after he left.
Lynch has appeared on CNBC on numerous occasions, discussing everything from how the company has benefited from regulation to why the stock went down even when earnings were in-line with expectations. Here's what he had to say in past appearances on CNBC.
US Companies More Positive than UK? — Mar. 12, 2010
US companies just seem more positive in their outlooks than UK companies, Lynch said in an interview with CNBC's "Strictly Money," but said that may just be a cultural difference. "We're not always there looking for the positives sometimes," he said of UK businesses.
Autonomy Benefits from New Regulations — Dec. 24, 2009
Autonomy, a British information-technology firm, jumped 60 percent in 2009. In this interview with CNBC, Lynch said Autonomy, which has a part of its business that specializes in helping firms deal with regulations, has benefited from new regulations and that he sees another three to four years of increased regulation.
Autonomy Earnings In Line, Confident on Year — Oct. 20, 2009
Autonomy delivered third-quarter 2009 earnings that hit analysts' target but the stock took a hit anyway. What did Lynch make of that? "I've given up trying to understand the stock movement related to the company!" Lynch said on CNBC, laughing. "The company is going incredibly well." He noted that the company had preannounced the results and said he has seen a pattern where, whenever the company reports results, the stock goes down for two weeks and then recovers. Lynch said he was confident about the company's performance for the year and that it was well-positioned to benefit from any upturn in the economy. He said the regulatory part of the business has done well through the downturn and that he expects the non-regulatory part of the business, which has performed in-line, to recover with the economy.
Autonomy Shares Sink — Jul. 16, 2009
Autonomy shares took a hit after disappointing second-quarter sales. Was there a reason for the miss? "No, they didn't [miss]," Lynch told CNBC. "If you actually look at consensus that we run, then the numbers are in-line. We actually preannounced them at the beginning of the month. And those have come in as expected. The earnings were actually ahead of the numbers that were there before." So, why did they preannounce? Was there a whisper the results might disappoint? "What we do when we see part of the announcement, in this case it was the EPS number being ahead of what the market's expecting, then we do that preannouncement ... When you've got that situation, what is better to do is make sure the information is in the market and that you're being transparent about it." He categorizes his outlook as "cautiously optimistic," citing the fact the regulatory side of the business has held up in a tough economy.

A New Jersey university has apparently realized it was unconstitutional to suspend a student for posting insults on a social media page.
Joseph Aziz, a Montclair State University graduate student, admits to making snide comments on YouTube regarding the weight of a female student with whom he was having a political argument. During a disciplinary hearing, he also admitted to mentioning the woman's name while joking about the incident on Facebook. He was suspended for a semester and barred from campus.
In response to questions about the violation of free-speech rights, the school released a statement claiming that it had "acted in accordance with its Student Code of Conduct, which complies with the New Jersey Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, and other applicable federal and state regulations."
Robert Shibley of the Foundation of Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) says school officials "overreacted."
"Often when politics is involved, people can get pretty personal," he recognizes. "In New Jersey, certainly people make jokes about Governor Chris Christie's weight all the time in the context of other political criticisms, and that's what happened here. And Montclair State vastly overreacted by suspending Joseph Aziz for an entire semester."
He argues that Aziz did not appear to be violating any specific school policy, but that Montclair made up a policy to fit the situation.
"They need to understand that it's their practices that need to change," Shibley submits. "If they routinely order students not to talk about topics or people on social media, even if they are not talking in a place where that student can be heard, they need to understand that those practices aren't going to fly with the Constitution."
According to NJ.com, the incident began in August, when Aziz attended a campus speech with Young Americans for Liberty. A male student and his female friend heckled the speaker, which was caught on video. He regrets making the comments on YouTube and Facebook, admitting that his words were "in poor taste."
Three days after FIRE wrote the university a letter pointing out the violation of the student's free speech, Aziz's suspension was rescinded.

Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK) Quant Signal Evaluation & Review
Here will take a quick scan of Earnings Yield information on shares of Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK). Currently, the Earnings to Price (Yield) is 0.014107, Earnings Yield is 8.19%, and Earnings Yield 5 year average is 9.78%. Earnings yield provides a way for investors to help measure returns.
Investors may choose to compare the earnings yield of stocks to money market instruments, treasuries, or bonds. The firm will look to it's next scheduled report date to try to improve on these numbers. Checking in on some valuation rankings, Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK) has a Value Composite score of 46.
Developed by James O'Shaughnessy, the VC score uses five valuation ratios. These ratios are price to earnings, price to cash flow, EBITDA to EV, price to book value, and price to sales. The VC is displayed as a number between 1 and 100.
In general, a company with a score closer to 0 would be seen as undervalued, and a score closer to 100 would indicate an overvalued company. Adding a sixth ratio, shareholder yield, we can view the Value Composite 2 score which is currently sitting at 45. FCF

The FCF Growth of Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK) is -1. Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash produced by the company minus capital expenditure. This cash is what a company uses to meet its financial obligations, such as making payments on debt or to pay out dividends.
The Free Cash Flow Score (FCF Score) is a helpful tool in calculating the free cash flow growth with free cash flow stability – this gives investors the overall quality of the free cash flow.

Price Range 52 Weeks
Some of the best financial predictions are formed by using a variety of financial tools. The Price Range 52 Weeks is one of the tools that investors use to determine the lowest and highest price at which a stock has traded in the previous 52 weeks.

The purpose of the Q.i. Value is to help identify companies that are the most undervalued. Typically, the lower the value, the more undervalued the company tends to be.
Another signal that many company execs and investors don't want to talk about is the C-Score. The C-Score is a system developed by James Montier that helps determine whether a company is involved in inflating their financial statements. The C-Score is calculated by a variety of items, including a growing difference in net income verse cash flow, increasing days outstanding, growing days sales of inventory, increasing assets to sales, declines in depreciation, and high total asset growth.
The C-Score of Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK) is -1. The score ranges on a scale of -1 to 6. If the score is -1, then there is not enough information to determine the C-Score.
If the number is at zero (0) then there is no evidence of fraudulent book cooking, whereas a number of 6 indicates a high likelihood of unusual activity. The C-Score assists investors in assessing the validity of financials. F-Score
At the time of writing, Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK) has a Piotroski F-Score of 5. The F-Score may help discover companies with strengthening balance sheets. The score may also be used to spot the weak performers.
Joseph Piotroski developed the F-Score which employs nine different variables based on the company financial statement. A single point is assigned to each test that a stock passes. Typically, a stock scoring an 8 or 9 would be seen as strong.
On the other end, a stock with a score from 0-2 would be viewed as weak.
In conclusion, there are a number of signals that can be looked at in order to determine if a company will continue to grow earnings and if they are a good investment for a portfolio.
Potential investors should do all due dilligence before making an investment decision.

PropagatingApril 19, 2007
Bits are flying out across the planet as you read this, updating name servers and propagating the happy news that no, in fact, csszengarden.com has not fallen victim to squatters, hackers, or the general underbelly of the web.
This morning I received initial contact from my registrar that the domain was up for renewal… in the form of an expiry notice. Then there were the dozens and dozens of other emails from all of you out there wherever you are. Thanks for your notes, questions, conspiracy theories, and general goodwill, but rest assured the domain has been renewed for another chunk of years, and soon whatever you're seeing will be replaced by whatever you're supposed to see, if that hasn't happened already.
Which leads me to my question — who's everyone using for domain registration these days? After years of increasingly questionable service I'm ready to bite the bullet and move everything to a serious business concern, instead of the current discount shop who appears ready to switch on the revenue generator search engine spam the minute I screw up.
Assuming GoDaddy is not an option (with censorship issues being a solid reason #2, surely I'm not the only one avoiding direct eye contact with this spectacle), who should I check out?
I use Enom and have been very happy with them for about 6 years. I currently have two accounts, and over 300 domains between clients and myself (probably 100+ just mine)
They have some really useful features and great support. I highly recommend them.
I've been using Dotster.com for 8 years now. Never had a glitch with any of the 20 odd domains I administer.
Highly recommend them.
Have you considered. HostMySite. They have great technical support
I use Network Solutions and have never had an issue. You will pay a little bit more but I've found them to be worth the extra money for their good customer service and peace of mind.
I myself (after the whole goDaddy debacle) ended up at namecheap.com and couldn't be happier.
We just moved our company's sites to PairNIC and couldn't be happier. We really like the ability to get at some of the more interesting stuff like TTL, CNAMEs and MX records.
The "official" service of domaintools.com is called DomainAlert and it seems very professional. Anyway I didn't ever try it so I cannot say how it effectively works.
I use GoDaddy. That said, GoDaddy is scum. I have strong suspicions that they leak domain search queries to a third party; when I considered registering an OBSCURE name after checking its availability on the GoDaddy site, and didn't buy right away, it was gone within a couple hours and a squatter page had been put up at that location. After the five-day "wait period" the domain was available again. How else could anyone know I had searched for that domain? From now on, it's command-line WHOIS lookups for me.
And there are just a lot of other shady reasons to distrust GoDaddy. I am ashamed to say I still use them.
I'm a huge fan of EasyDNS.com - they're the premium price of $35, but the backend management is to die for. 90, 60, 30, 15, 10, 5, 0, -5, and -10 day warning e-mails (I'm a procrastinator) and wonderful support.
I am using Dreamhost now, and haven't had any problems thus far. Prior to them I was with 1&1, and they would renew your domain automagically when it was coming time to renew.
I've been using Doster since 2000. Never had a problem. Over fifty domains there now.
Over the last serveral years Dotster has been steadily more and more covered with adds for related products and "upgrades" to webhosting, it can be hard to figure out sometimes how to just register your domain.
But their service has stayed good.
GANDI.NET is what I use. Full control or simply UI, cheap and efficient, no spam, timely reminders.
I've heard good things about gandi.net. They're based in France and though they are far from being a bargain (those Euro fees certainly add up!) they respect your domain ownership in full, no hidden traps, etc. So it may be well worth the extra investment if you care a lot about those issues.
I registered a bunch of domains at GoDaddy some years ago and I can't wait to move them all elsewhere. Live and learn.
I'll second Dreamhost; their domain and DNS management tools are quite nice.
I have domains all over the shop, I highly recommend DomainSite, Dotster & NetSol.
I also am very suspicious of GoDaddy.
I used to work at and still use GKG.net for my domain registration. While they could use some design love, they take good care of their customers, have a reasonable price and I know their ethics.
We use PairNIC (pairnic.com). Not the cheapest, but they have been solid.
I like to keep my domain registration separate from my hosting, so in case I have a problem with my host, I can easily move to another host.
Another positive vote in favor of namecheap.com. It's ridiculously easy to manage all of your domains including MX and CNAME records. And when a domain is set to expire they start letting you know at the 30 day mark and they keep reminding you each and every week after. And at less that $8.00 (USD) a pop it's hard to find any fault in their service.
If you want to register your own name servers, I think Network Solutions is worth the extra cash.
For everything else I use NameSecure. I started using them because of a personal connection with someone in the support department, but I stayed with them because I haven't needed technical support.
I have been using Domain Direct for quite a while. You can edit the technical and other admin data yourself and if you want point the domain to a certain domain server (like the one of the provider you are hosting the website). I like their freedom and the fact the send a renew notice in time.
Here's another nod in Gandi's direction. I've moved all of my domains there and am very, very happy!
Just like beto said (comment #13), Gandi really respects your domain ownership in full. RegisterFly had "stolen" a few domains that I had registered with them (setting the owner information to their own). I was pleasantly surprised when Gandi got in touch to let me know about this (the WHOIS information was all me, but the actual owner was RegisterFly), and they were very helpful in fixing the situation (back off RegisterFly, get your own domains!).
I've used (and continue to use) both PairNIC and GANDI, and never had problems with either.
Lots of votes for Gandi so far, has anyone had a *bad* experience with them? Just want to make sure I'm getting both sides before I jump in bed with someone else.
Namecheap. Intuitive, easy to use, relatively cheap, doesn't try and sell you a ton of extra things.
Really great is the ability to share "permissions" on domains. We usually get clients to register (or we do it for them) and then "share" permissions for them – we can easily go in and update host records, etc., but the billing and so on goes direct to the client.
I still use EasyDNS for my Canadian domains…but $35 is just way too expensive.
I use namespro.ca and have for quite some time. No problems, low $CDN prices and auto-renewals.
I've been using and recommending ipowerweb.com for a good while now, cheap and reliable. Nice control panel too. Otherwise I would probably go with godaddy.com. :)
Can't remember how I found these guys, but 000domains have been great for .com domains. Good prices; easy to use interface. No problems.
I still use GoDaddy. I wasn't aware of the story linked above until now, but when I read that I just saw a hosting issue. It doesn't make me happy about the notices, but I read that sort of thing about hosting all the time.
I don't use GoDaddy for anything other than a domain registrar. I have over a hundred with them, never had a problem. I hate the 1000 offers when I buy a domain, but you can skip most of it if you "find" the link to. Also, I had a rep call me because I do have a lot and they were good about discounting the domains for me if I renewed in bulk amounts rather than letting each one auto-renew (which is usually what I do, so no difference to me other than saving a few bucks). They weren't pushy, so I appreciated it.
I also use enom for a few domains (they were transferred within enom, never moved them). I've never had a problem with them either, but haven't had to do much other than let domains sit and renew.
I used to use BulkRegister, but got away from them. They recently got swallowed up by enom though, so I guess it's irrelevant.
I use Dreamhost (dot com). In addition to affordable domain name registration they offer an option to auto-renew, and proxy contact information so your street address is kept private.
I use Namecheap for my .com domains and domainsatcost.ca for my .ca domains.
I'll second http://namespro.ca. Especially for .ca domains.
The first time I signed up for a domain with them I messed something up but didn't notice. I had an e-mail from a real person in my inbox in less than 5 minutes. I was impressed :)
They send lots of e-mail reminders and have an auto renew option. They also have a private WHOIS feature and I've never had any e-mail from them that wasn't directly related to my current account.
I used Gandi for a couple years myself, and I'm not so enamoured of them. I found their tech support to be quiet slow, actually. When I had to switch domain ownership over to a client of mine, it took well over two months to sort it out because they were so slow in responding to everything, and *everything* is done by e-mail.
So heaven forbid you lose connectivity and need something done, or want to speak to a person.
They have an odd way of identifying you with handles, and one problem we had with switching the domain was that what their system told me were handles related to domains via their own communications were not jiving with their internal systems. They were super slow to resolve this.
I actually switched to GoDaddy before I heard some of the issues mentioned here, however I will say it has been *much* easier dealing with domains with them than with Gandi. Just my experience.
I will probably switch again and am watching this thread - but I do not recommend Gandi.
Good luck in your search!
I'm using german registrar - Key Systems Gmbh (http://www.domaindiscount24.net/), and they also have quite a nice administration tool. As a small bonus point - they provide their own DNS servers - probably a lot of other registrars do that but not all… the price may not be the lowest though - 12euro / year.
I've been using Dreamhost and any problems that I've had (which were my fault anyway) have been diagnosed within an hour everytime.
Mike Davidson has a hosting section on his site about Dreamhost that is worth a look. You can find it at: http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/dreamhost-web-hosting
I use 1&1 for both web hosting and domain name registration. They give free domain registration (and auto renewal) with all their web hosting plans. It's a great deal and I haven't had any problems; I've switched all my clients to them and none of them have had problems either.
I use PairNic (pairnic.com). As Lou said there is a lot of high-level control given to the customer in DNS management. I find support speedy and accurate.
I use mydomain.com after registerfly went to stupidland.
I've been quite impressed.
Of course, you get what you pay for so any business related names I use netsol.
Changing a simple DNS record can be like trying to push custard up hill with some hyper-commercial registrars as I found out recently on behalf of a design client. As accredited ICANN and NOMINET registrars ourselves their lack of service was appalling.
I think the thing that most people treasure most isn't great control panels or tools but feeling like you're being looked after: Being able to call or email and converse with someone who remembers who you are; knowing they won't let your domains expire but just re-register them and send you a reminder. It's called personal service. We all give it to design clients, it's nice to get it from registrars too. Good luck with the switch!
I've been with domainsatcost for a few years. Apart from making multi-year renewals awkward, I get notices on my .ca and .net sites starting around 60 days, increasing in urgency at 30 and 15 which is as far as I've let it go.
I seem to recall that about a year ago you started using DreamHost as your web host. Why wouldn't you also use them for your domain registrar? The only limitation to using DH is that they only do .com .net .org and .info. If you want to do a .us, .biz, (.ca?) or other type of registration then you have to have a secondary registrar. So far, I've been very happy with DH as a host and as a registrar, and I've been switching my registrations over as they have come due for renewal at my old registrar. It's nice to manage all hosting and domains at the same place.
I got caught in the RegisterFly debacle last month, and switched to PairNIC. They met my two criteria: they came highly recommended, and they weren't GoDaddy. Definitely not cheap, as others have said, but I'm happy so far.
I've pretty much used Network Solutions since the days when they were the only game around, and I've never gone anywhere else. Other than the higher price, I'd never have any reason to.
I used to use GoDaddy but I'm migrating over to Dreamhost. They host my sites anyway, so it's just easier.
I think that Parker is right - they monitor searches to their whois, so don't use it!
There is NO WAY they randomly came up with some of the names they've registered that I've searched for. So they are most definitely poaching.
EasyDNS. Accept no substitutes.
I recommend using different providers for DNS management and hosting. That way all your eggs aren't in one basket, so to speak. I've been using domainsatcost.ca for several years. They provide auto renews and reminder emails. For hosting I use Dreamhost and been quite happy with their service.
We use register.com.
No problems, access to everything via the interface, and pretty good tech support. As long as you phone the US and not the worldwide indian call centre.
Also have an auto-renewal tick box, so no expiry problems.
I've registered all my domains at Mediatemple and never had a problem. They manage and register domains at Tucows over openSRS which seems very reliable so far. Highly recommended.
I've been using Joker.com for a while now with no problems at all. Prompt service, simple to use - I can;t really say much more. Registrars either seem to simply work perfectly or make your life a nightmare!
I've been using mydomain.com, and they've been very reliable. If you go with them, you'll certainly never be surprised by an expired domain. You get a notice to renew about 90 days before expiration, and about every week thereafter (possibly even more than that) until you renew or let it lapse. It actually seems a bit like overkill, but I appreciate the peace of mind. There are probably settings to adjust the level of contact, but I've never played with them.
We recently switched our sites over from GoDaddy to Dreamhost. Dreamhost offered so much more in their basic plan than GoDaddy did that it was one of those, "we should have done this to begin with" moments.
I've had a lot of trouble transferring domains from GoDaddy to Dreamhost though, which I attribute to GoDaddy.
GoDaddy's interface is a nightmare. Dreamhost recently gave theirs a beautiful redesign. It's easy to use, gives you plenty of options, and appears to believe in the "don't make me think" approach to web design. Very nice.
I've been using (and am quite happy with) Yahoo Small Business' domain registration. They're as cheap or cheaper than GoDaddy, the web backend is very intuitive, they don't push me to buy more than I want, and Yahoo in general has a certain amount of eCred with me via their Javascript YUI libraries.
My experiences with GoDaddy have been entirely awful. The web backend is difficult to the point of insanity, the documentation sucks, they push hard for me to buy their extra 'features', and the whole site has the general air of sleezyness about it.
I've used Namesecure for a million years and have never had any problems with them.
And here I thought that I was the only one turned off by GoDaddy's marketing.
I use GANDI sometimes too, and have generally had positive experiences. My two caveats:
- their mail, which is mostly in French, gets caught by spamassassin sometimes because it's in a language that isn't English.
- my credit card company often rejects the GANDI charge and locks the card for 24 hours until they call me, especially if I've used the card state-side that day. This has happened with both Citi and with Chase, and GANDI doesn't take AMEX, my card of choice.
But otherwise, I've had a pretty good experience with them.
I recommend using a registrar whose primary business is NOT registrations.
Dreamhost seems happy to provide excellent and honest service on registrations, to retain my hosting business.
I've used 123-reg.co.uk for years. Even since they got bought up by Pipex, they've remained good. The interface is hardly very 2.0, but the service is good, cheap and they remind you plenty of times if you have domains about to expire.
123-reg have started getting awkward when it comes to new registrations, seems they now want you to store payment details before you're able to register - otherwise you get flagged as some sort of fraud/risk, I forget the exact wording.
If you are happy with auto-renewal for domains you want to retain, then stored card details are less of an issue.
I've always been happy with htt://www.directnic.com.
I use godaddy. Probably will continue to use godaddy. Nobody or cooperation is perfect. I love it when people just flip out over a few incidents that they don't agree with. Get over it folks.
@ Michael Montgomery says, "I recommend using a registrar whose primary business is NOT registrations."
I say, "Last time i did that, the hosting company who i registered it through stole the domain."
@ Nick Husher says, "I've been using (and am quite happy with) Yahoo Small Business' domain registration."
I say, "I just registered a domain through them - that was the most enjoyable online purchase experience i've ever had - thanks for pointing it out."
@ Jonas Flint says, "I use godaddy. Probably will continue to use godaddy."
I say, "So did i until i tried out Yahoo's service. Try it, you'll be converted within seonds."

We use enom (dot com) because:
- the price is right,
- the tools great,
- we can proxy for our clients, and still provide branded tools,
- we can even make subaccounts for clients,
- if a client does need to take their business elsewhere (we register domains only for their convenience), with enom, we can create an account with them and push their domains into that account in a few minutes,
- enom also makes domain acquisition easy working with buydomains (dot com) for example, again because they can push domains into your account and you can avoid dealing with a transfer and modifying the whois info (that google's looking at - if you believe that sort of thing, like some SEOs do)
Dreamhost gets my business for all of my registering and hosting needs. At work we use 000domains, but I prefer Dreamhost by leaps and bounds for the abundance of features, not only with hosting, but with domain management as well.
Gandi, Gandi, Gandi. I couldn't be happier with their service.
I use Tiger Technologies (tigertech.net). Though I haven't really had the need or popularity to push their hosting limits, their tech support has always been helpful, and they seem to have a geek-kind of interest in their business.
I've used GoDaddy forever - but ONLY for registering domains. You have to wade through a lot of garbage to get where you need to go, but it's manageable.
I've noticed moniker.com before, and they look pretty sharp, but I've never used them.
It's interesting how some people are turned off by the godaddy advertising, etc, but then you go right over to dotster and see the "Dotster Dots". I mean..what is that?! Do these companies realize they are merely registrars and web hosts? What a laugh!
Honestly, i mentioned my experience a few posts up but i am going to repeat it again more clearly…
Anyone who is loyal to GoDaddy for the purchasing of domain names should try Yahoo.
Just try it once.
I would go with NameCheap, you would suprise how many adult webmasters use them with their hundred+++ domains. + their auto renew/hide whois data services are excelent!
I still use GoDaddy for 30+ domains and, despite their flaky image and annoying ads, they've never given me any trouble.
That said, I use Register.com for the important ones. I trust them a bit more, and they host their own DNS, which allows me to fail over to a different server if one of my dedicated servers has trouble.
As blueshade already mentioned I can only recommend Keysystems/Domaindiscount24 (http://www.domaindiscount24.net/). I currently have more than 100 domains registered there without any problem. Also they provide a great user interface and their own nameservers.
Just to add a little localization. I use http://www.domainsatcost.ca/ for all my .ca domains.
Ridiculous name, but decent price and service.
I suspect there's a reason no one's recommended 1and1 yet, but they've always worked for me. 1and1 is pretty much the Wal-Mart of webhosting. That said, I find them easy to use and dependable, and they warn me before anything goes horribly wrong.
No complaints with Dreamhost, for me. I've used some other cheap companies and was not happy with their service.
namecheap.com is the best I have found. Pretty cheap domains (not the cheapest) but the UI cannot be beat. Their control panel is the easiest to use and has no comparison.
The paypal integration is excellent. You can transfer money from your paypal account (or credit card) into your namecheap account which you then can use to purchase domains. This really helps when you need to purchase or renew a lot. You can do it all instantly without having to go through the payment process.
I had no idea GoDaddy was that bad. A year or two ago they had domains for $.99 or something like that (now I think they've had it at $2 for a while, but at the time it was new) for a limited time and I missed it, so I went to Yahoo which had a competing $2/domain deal and I've had no problems with them. Good thing that happened, I'd feel like a tool if I were registered with GoDaddy after seeing both that article and that disgusting "blog." I CAN'T STAND the word "edgy" and those (always corporate) that use it. Ick!
Nice to hear that the domain is still in good hands. I do however have a few inquiries:
Is csszengarden.com still accepting designs? If so, when will they be processed? http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/submit/ indicates that the designs that were submitted in the past 17 months still needs to be reviewed.
For those that took the time to contribute to this project by submitting a design during that time (like myself) would have appreciated some sort of a response.
Do you need a hand from the community to help you with this process?
Another vote here for gandi.net. They give you full ownership over the domain, unlike most other registrars who treat the domain like a phone number you're renting.
I have about ten domains through them, have for years, never had a problem.
Plus the interface is duplicated in French and English, so you feel all cosmopolitan when you're maintaining your domains.
One more for Gandi. Simple, clean and also available in french wich count as an extra bonus for me.
One of the criteria I use when selecting a vendor for things like hosting, SSL certs and domain name registrars is: can I get a live person on the phone easily? If I can get them on the phone, were they helpful and have technical expertise for the services that they offer. With that said, I would highly recommend Dotster.
I've been using www.freeparking.co.uk for 5 years and have dozens of domains with them, both mine and those of my clients. In all that time there's been one problem and they jumped on it within an hour of me contacting them.
They are also more than willing to help out when something goes awry at the hosting end.
I use Gandi to manage DNS for a few dozen domains for an internet law research center. We've been happy with Gandi for several years, specifically because of their clear policies on domain ownership and strict information verification policies. They've also recently beefed up their DNS services and other offerings. The downside is they're a bit more expensive and all support is through email (as previously mentioned), but we generally get responses within a few days and they've been fairly helpful in resolving some WHOIS problems caused by Network Solutions. There is also the possible concern that, because of their French incorporation, it would be difficult to bring a legal case in America should the need arise. This isn't an issue that has really concerned us, but it is a factor to weigh in your decision.
Commandline WHOIS isnt safe either, i used such a thing on a really wierd domain name once and it was gone 2days later.
Someone is watching the requests out on the internet that dont get resolved.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned https://www.Sitelutions.com yet. The provide very advanced DNS (Dynamic DNS, MX, NS, A, CNAME, AAA, round-robin, etc.) for free (even to people who don't buy domains from them), and their domain purchasing system is simple, fast and easy. I have been using them for several domains, something like 5 years, and I could not be more happy.
Their customer service department is helpful and fast too.
I just started no-ip.com for a .com address. I like it because it has dynamic IP updating which is nice when you're hosting your own site.
Bad experiences with godaddy. I've unlocked domains so a client can transfer a domain and somehow the domain gets locked preventing transfer. godaddy claims they don't do this but it happened more than once.
Networks Solutions SRS plus is a great service. The tool has a lot of features built in. Just my 2 cents.
Little late to the party, probably too late to help you out at all, but for posterity:
Melbourne IT for me. Great control panel, no tricks up their sleeves. I let a domain go expired for a few days not too long ago and they were still holding it for me.
Not the cheapest, but absolutely zero downside that I can see.
I am still using GoDaddy, despite increasing reservations about their ethics and integrity. Why I went them: cost, relatively easy to use batch domain management, one stop shopping for all domains, SSL and privacy products, and the fact that you can get on the phone with sales or support.
I had been with Network Solutions for almost ten years prior to switching to GD two years ago, and while they offered the same 'package' the costs were consistently too much higher for my business and for me as an individual.
I guess one can say you get what you pay for, but is it too much to ask for an ethical provider with TLDs at $9.95-$14.95 with phone and email support, intuitive control panel, reasonable SSL and privacy products?
We've been using gandi.net for 6 years. The only thing we don't like is that it's a pain to update the DNS on multiple websites (each one has to be done seperately).
They're good about reminders and the site is pretty easy to use. We once made the mistake of registering a .com instead of a .org, and they quickly reversed the charges for us.
I've used Dotster for over 6 years without a hitch.
I have been using GoDaddy for several years (mainly because of their prices, to be honest), and have never had any (technical) problems with them.
However, I've read quite a few negative articles about them recently, so I'm going to take a closer look at some of the alternatives that have been mentioned in earlier comments! (I remember hearing good things about Gandi and Dotster, amongst others.)
Enom rocks. Never had a problem with them and great customer service. Switched from GoDaddy a few years ago.
Namecheap.com for domain registration – been using them for something like 7 years now: cheap, perfect service, renewal reminders. For hosting I use web-mania.com, another great company with very good service.
I recently (thought I had) lost 2 domain names to Network solutions because I procrastinated a few hours before commiting to purchase the names. I use(d) Network Solutions for WhoIs lookups because they have been around a long time and seemed to be a reputable company. I used to have a few domains with them but left because of price. I would typically do the WhoIs lookup there, and then buy the domain through my hosting provider. It seems that they monitor WhoIs or availability lookups performed on thier site, and, if they like the name, will scoop it. They are perfectly willing to sell it back to you at thier rate of $35 so you can't purchase it through another provider. At the time I didn't know about the 5 day thing that all these scumbags use so I ended up having to pay thier asking price for one of the names (the other had been released already). I, personally, will transfer my names away from Network Solutions and will never visit thier site again. And If I can convince 10 more people to follow me, thier cute little game will run them at a loss. A small but satisfying victory.

Paper cranes to bring message of healing
RIDGEFIELD -- With their squares of brightly colored paper in front of them, Caden and Kian Broderick were intent Monday on a folding, then unfolding story.
With their mother, Colleen Broderick, and Ridgefield Library director Christina Nolan at their side, the two boys -- Caden, 4 and Kian, 9 -- were making origami paper cranes.
When done, they'll be added to a growing collection of cranes made at the Ridgefield Library. By week's end, the cranes will be flying in a looping stream of birds at the Cyrenius H. Booth Library in Newtown.
The work is a gesture of solidarity and healing from one library to another, after the tragic shooting of 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14.
"We think it's lovely,'' Colleen Broderick said of the work.
Nor was all the origami being done at the library. Ravi Sankar stopped by with his 23-year-old daughter Shrutika to gather up some paper squares and instructions.
"We can make them on New Year's Day,'' Sankar said.
In Japan, cranes are symbols of good luck, happiness and longevity. In Japanese legend, if you make 1,000 paper cranes, a crane will grant you a wish. In weddings, young couples get 1,000 cranes to grant them 1,000 years of prosperity.
But after World War II, making 1,000 cranes became a symbol for something larger -- a hope for world peace and healing.
That stems from the work of Sadako Sasaki, a 12-year-old girl dying of leukemia after being exposed to radiation when the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
Sadako was determined to fold 1,000 cranes. She died when she'd reached 644 birds. Her classmates finished her work, and there is now a statue of her at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, along with strings of paper cranes.
Nolan said local parents asked to make cranes to give to Newtown.
"We were happy to be the place that could help them,'' Nolan said.
If all goes as intended, the Newtown library will get the 1,000-strong flock this week.
"I think it's wonderful,'' said Newtown library Director Jane Woycik. "I'm very pleased.
"They're supposed to be a symbol of tranquility and peace,'' Woycik said. " I think that's just what Newtown could use right now.''

The state of paranoia in which people fear President Obama so much, they stop thinking logically and stop using common sense. Usually a direct result of watching too much Fox News.

When a person stops disagreeing with Obama on political policy and believe every single policy decision that he make is apart sinister conspiracy to weaken or destroy America and possibly the world.
"Obama will confiscate guns, bring the Muslim brotherhood to power in America, Take all his orders from Putin, declare war on Israel, become a permanent dictator, maybe even become the anti Christ and set up a one world government...But I just disagree with the guy. How an I suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome?"
by Lexington50 December 02, 2012
The acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the statements -- nay -- the very existence of Barack Obama.
Obama's positions better reflect the change and new direction that the American people have been calling for, but those with Obama Derangement Syndrome would rather stick with failure than even consider voting for him.
by ptulsa May 16, 2008
Insane state of mind and lack of critical thinking or reasoning on issues surrounding Sen. Barack Obama's bid for the 2008 White House; usually used in reference towards his supporters.
After listening to Sen. Barack Obama's speech, I couldn't help but think that everyone had lost their minds and had come down with Obama Derangement Syndrome.
by flyfish February 27, 2008
A derogatory term used for the act of critical thinking about Barack Obama. This term is derived from BDS, Bush Derangement Syndrome.
"He accused me of having Obama Derangement Syndrome because I asked if Obama had ever accomplished anything!"

Shutter speed needs to a bit faster at 1/3200, but otherwise this looks to be a pretty good upgrade.
Pentax Ricoh has announced the Q7 – its latest Q-mount camera and the first to feature a larger, 1/1.7″ type sensor. The 7.44 x 5.58mm, 12MP BSI CMOS sensor is the same size as the one used in many enthusiast compacts, with the company claiming a 60% improvement in S/N ratio over the existing Q10. This improvement also allows the camera to focus faster in low light. The Q7 will cost around $500 with the '02' 5-15mm zoom lens and can be custom-ordered in any of 120 color combinations. The company has also introduced a body-cap 'Mount Shield' lens for the Q system – the 11.5mm F9 lens will cost around $80.
The move to a 1/1.7″ type sensor changes the 'crop factor' of the Q7, and its effect on the equivalent focal lengths of the existing Q lenses is interesting:
Noticeably, the Standard Prime lens suddenly gives a 'normal' 39mm equivalent focal length, while the Standard Zoom and Telephoto zooms give very similar field-of-view ranges to traditional 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. This, and the fact that all of them offer an image circle large enough to illuminate the larger sensor, strongly supports the theory that the Q system was always designed for this sensor format – a move that makes it much more directly comparable with existing enthusiast compacts.
This move, combined with the more realistic recommended sales price, could make the Q system considerably more interesting than it has seemed, up until now.
Jump to:
Available in 120 color combinations, the Q7 ensures there is a camera for every taste and style along with features and settings to match
Denver, CO (June 12, 2013) —PENTAX RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION today announced the fun and highly capable Q7 compact system camera. Available for order in 120 eye-catching color combinations through PENTAX's Color To Order™ system, the Q7 gives creative control to the consumer with a complete system of interchangeable lenses, filters, viewfinders, and fun smart effects and digital filters enable truly limitless creativity.
Setting a new standard in the imaging industry, the Q7 incorporates a growing trend among consumer products: customization. With an expertly architected supply chain management system designed around Color To Order, consumers are empowered to integrate individual style, personality and taste into their camera sparking the creative process even as their order is placed. Joining the already successful Q10, the Q7 features an upgraded 1/1.7 inch, back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, high sensitivity shooting up to ISO 12800 and enhanced Q ENGINE with faster response time during start-up and shooting time, the creativity continues as beautiful, sharp images are captured.
"Don't be fooled by the Q7's small size and 120 color combinations," said Jim Malcolm, executive vice president, PENTAX RICOH IMAGING. "As the smallest and lightest compact system camera in the world, this tiny gem is packed with serious specs and capabilities including a number of digital filters and smart effects."
Weighing in a just 7 ounces, the Q7's compact body enables easily poket-able portability while the fun filters and assorted lens variety inspire the casual photographer to elevate their creativity. With 19 smart effects and filters and seven lenses, a retro look and feel can easily be applied in-camera with the ability to layer different effects for greater expression and better image quality than cell phones ever dreamt of. Additionally, with the Q7's enhanced Eye Fi SD card compatibility and built-in menus, users can now edit, re-size and share photos instantly.
Also introduced today is the 07 Mount Shield lens. As the seventh member of the Q-family lens mount, the 07 lens produces a truly unique and timeless visual effect, comparable to the original pin-hole camera—with a fixed aperture of F9 and a focal length of 11.5 mm (or 53mm in 35mm format), for an extra-ordinary image with distinctively velvety edges. Featuring a focusing range of approximately 0.7-2m, still life shots and macro photography are given a beautiful dream-like look and feel. Weighing a mere 8 grams, the 07 Mount Shield lens is extremely small, resembling a tiny Q series body cap making it an ideal lens for pocket-able fun, and travel photography.
Pricing and Availability
The Q7 kit with 02 zoom lens is available to order today in a choice of 120 color combinations at pentaximaging.com and retail outlets nationwide in August 2013 with a suggested retail price of $499.95. The 07 Mount Shield lens will be available for purchase online and at retail outlets nationwide in July 2013with a suggested retail price of $79.95.

A Naperville lawyer accused of defrauding his law partners out of hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for a lavish lifestyle was sentenced Monday to 42 months in prison.
Steven D. Gustafson, 47, had been found guilty on four counts of forgery, accused of using his access to a law firm bank account to take $466,000.
"I'm painfully aware that I've hurt and failed so many people," he said before DuPage County Judge John Kinsella sentenced him.
Gustafson, the judge said, "suffered from one of the age-old sins recognized by the law: Greed."
"All of us are faced with decisions to do the right thing, or let temptations control our actions. Most people can overcome that and most people do," Kinsella said.
Gustafson used the money to pay almost $9,000 in property taxes on his home one year, a police detective testified. He used $18,000 of the firm's money for a bathroom remodeling project at his house. He paid off his secretary's dental bill.
Naperville Det. Donald Bisch said the bathroom project was so elaborate that the remodeling company used photos of it in their advertising materials.
Larry Thompson, one of the partners, said Gustafson's activities were detected in early 2006 when the firm started experiencing financial difficulty. A review of the bank account showed that Gustafson was writing checks for personal use, he said.
Another former partner, Ari Rosenthal, said Gustafson had complained frequently about the amount he was earning, and blamed Thompson, who is the brother of former Gov. Jim Thompson, for not leveraging the relationship to generate more revenue for the law firm.
Gustafson has been disbarred, and his former partners won a $1.3 million civil court judgment against him. He faced a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Master Choi looks outstanding. I'm curious what the base figure is, as I'll be quite surprised if it's all-new in sculpt.
Diddy I take what you don't want from your sets. If you do pick them up maybe we can make a deal for what you don't want. let me know?
For $10 a pack I am very happy with these. If you consider that an average basic figures runs $7.00 this is great for the money. I respect your dislike for these but I think overall these beat the average collectors expectations when compared to the last ones. I will gladly take Master Sev over Slashing Obi, Ape arm Mace, Slashing Anakin, Spinning Yoda & Salt shaker Palps any day.

Keep Readers Engaged, Think of The Avengers by Jennifer Hudson Taylor
1) Write a daily or weekly Blog
2) Keep them updated on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest
3) Write a short story or a couple of scenes that lead to the next big novel release.
It's the third option I want to concentrate on, especially since you're probably already doing the first two options. You could write novellas in between your large works, as I have done, but those will be totally unrelated to the characters in your long novels. Now I'm starting to get a lot of requests for a third book in my Highland Series. Several people are asking for Leith's story.
If you have a good series going that people don't want to let go of, you and your publisher will want to capitalize on that. For instance, if you have a single title book and would like to write a follow-up that isn't contracted, you might want to keep a log of reader emails, reviews, and social media comments from those who have requested you write a second or third book, or have requested you write about other secondary characters and give them their own story. Once you start building up a large database of requests, you can submit them with your proposal for follow-up books.
If it will be a while before the follow-up books release, in order to keep your readers engaged with the characters, you could write short scenes and make them available as ebook downloads for newsletter subscribers or for all your readers on ebook formats. These scenes could lead up to the next big novel release. Be sure to discuss it with your editor and make sure your publisher approves of your ideas.
If readers download these scenes and really like them, once they realize that there are other books available, you'll continue gaining readership that will build for the next big book release, plus they will go back and read the other books. This is another marketing tactic that is a bit unconventional, but effective if done well. We can learn from Hollywood and the movie industry.
Think of The Avengers!
Today is the big release of The Avengers, but since 2008 they've released five other movies with the same characters leading up to the big finale movie. These build-up movies were Captain America, Thor, Iron Man I and II, and The Incredible Hulk. Fans loved them and want more of the same characters. Tickets will be selling out everywhere today. (Yes, I'll be in line!)
So what are your thoughts? Have you tried anything like this? Do you think it would be effective?

Hi Jennifer:
Something similar to this came up in my writing group last week – the topic was character development. One of our members suggested writing a small, backstory centered piece for each character as a way to add more depth to their role in a WIP. I suppose if your intention is to write a series, or the possibility arises at a later date, having those small stories to draw from would be a solid jumping off point. Good post!

I've read where some writers will write a few pieces on each character's background. I do a character sketch for my books.

Sounds like a very cool idea, once that first book is out. Even beforehand, it's possible to "leak" bits without giving too much away. So glad Thor is back on the big-screen (though my son's a big Capt. America fan), given my fascination with all things Viking!

In the early morning of Aug. 7, 1974, Frenchman Philippe Petit stepped off the ledge of the unfinished World Trade Center in New York City onto an inch-thick cable to start a high-wire walk that arguably was the greatest daredevil feat in history:
An aerialist performance between the Twin Towers, more than a quarter-mile off the ground.
The feat was so extraordinary that more than 40 years later, it's the subject of a major motion picture, "The Walk," starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, that premiered Sept. 30 in 3D IMAX format and went into wide distribution in regular format Friday.
But largely forgotten, except for newspaper accounts of the day and the memories...

A small guy you can trust is the master of them all
In contrast to a monolithic kernel OS like Linux, in a microkernel-based system, only that functionality is placed in the kernel, which requires the privileged kernel mode of the processor. All the other code - which would be implemented according to a monolithic design in the kernel as well - is executed by so-called server tasks in the CPU user mode. That means, the server tasks are not able to access the memory of the computer directly but only via virtual address spaces, whereas the translation from virtual to physical memory addresses is controlled by the kernel. By this concept, the lines of code you have to trust - because they run in kernel mode and therefore have uncontrolled access to your computers hardware - is reduced to a minimum amount. For this reason, a microkernel-based architecture is ideal for building highly secure operating systems as well as extremely reliable real-time systems. Both is done in research projects at the TU Dresden.
In a monolithic OS design, a lot of functionality is placed inside the kernel, which does not necessarily require the privileged kernel mode of the CPU.
Out of theory – a demo CD! But let's put theory aside and get to the point! To make the outcome of their research easier accessible to the non-OS-research public, on March 13th, 2006 the TU Dresden OS group has published a demo live CD, which is the one that should be grilled here. But what does the demo CD of this TUD:OS - which is rather a collection of many research projects than a complete desktop operating system – provide? When you put the CD into your computer and reboot your machine, a GRUB boot loader appears, offering different demo setups, each presenting a specific research result to you. In all of these scenarios, you will find a tutorial browser called Scout supplying information leading you through the whole tutorial.
Scenario 1: A Nitpicker's guide to a minimal-complexity secure GUI
The first of these GRUB entries guides you to a minimal-complexity secure GUI called Nitpicker. The idea behind Nitpicker is assigning the microkernel principle to GUI development: having an extremely small host GUI, Nitpicker, providing only the absolute minimum of functionality and running then different guest GUIs on top of it – for instance the L4-native window system DOpE or an conventional X-Server. With the Nitpicker host GUI you can securely supervise the behavior of your guest GUIs and in addition let run many applications of these guest GUIs completely protected from each other on the same system. Extremely challenging about the thing is the fact that all of the guest GUI's windows are integrated into the Nitpicker desktop as if they were native Nitpicker applications. Without a system like Nitpicker the development of secure GUI applications hardly would be possible. Because, what is the point of having a microkernel protecting address spaces while applications can spy on one another via an insecure GUI server?
By a microkernel-based architecture the number of lines of code you have to trust is reduced to a minimum amount. For this reason, it increases the security and stability of your opearting system. In addition, it makes a much more flexible and modular OS design possible.
In the Nitpicker scenario of the demo CD, you can check out how it feels to run a native Nitpicker application, the Scout tutorial browser, DOpE and X-Window applications on the same Nitpicker desktop. Furthermore it lets you experience several practical proofs that Nitpicker keeps its promises – for instance by invoking the X-Window "spy ware" xeyes and trying to spy out a DoPE application or the Scout tutorial browser with it.

Pennsylvania Venue will Host Fall Brawl for a Cure on October 22nd
Waterbucket Media, in association with PPL Park, announced on Wednesday at a press conference that the venue will host the first-ever men's college lacrosse games on Saturday, October 22nd. Highlighted by a double-header that will involve four college programs, the Fall Brawl for a Cure will be a day-long event with fundraising efforts being conducted to benefit cancer research.
"We're very happy to welcome Fall Brawl for a Cure, the American Cancer Society and the Loyola, Sienna, Stony Brook and Villanova men's lacrosse teams to the Chester Waterfront in October," commented Nick Sakiewicz, Philadelphia Union CEO & Operating Partner. "PPL Park has already proven to be a world class soccer facility, and we are excited to show that the stadium is an ideal destination for any sporting event."
On the day of the Fall Brawl for a Cure, gates will open at 8:00 a.m. with youth games getting underway at 9:00 a.m. and being played throughout the day on the outside of the facility. The feature portion of the event will then kick-off that afternoon as four renowned college programs participate in a double-header. The first pairing will pit Stony Brook University against Loyola University at 3:00 p.m., followed up by Villanova University taking on Sienna College at 5:00 p.m. Prior to the start of those final two games, various college teams will be scrimmaging during the day.
"We are looking forward to a great day of college and youth lacrosse working together to help fight cancer," said Jim Jennings, President of Waterbucket Media. "We think this is going to be a huge success because of the great facility at PPL Park, and we look for this to be an annual event."
Being part of this inaugural event is something that holds a special purpose for those involved, including the coaches who will see their teams take the field on October 22nd.
"We are honored to participate in the first annual Fall Brawl for a Cure event," stated Rick Sowell, head men's lacrosse coach at Stony Brook University. "It's a unique opportunity that allows our team to play at a wonderful facility against top notch competition while raising proceeds for the American Cancer Society. It's a great way for our young men to be involved in an event that will further aid in the awareness and support the research to detect and fight against various cancers that affect all Americans directly or indirectly. It's a win/win for our program and we look forward to October 22nd."

How many biomass to fuels projects will be launched next year and beyond and what are the success factors for getting deals done? These questions and many more will be the subject of the Biomass Finance & Investment Summit, Jan. 26-28, at the Westin Colonnade Hotel, Coral Gables, FL. The biomass fuels session will feature speakers from POET, Greenfield Ethanol and Novozymes.
The conference also will feature a panel of developers of biomass to power projects using feedstocks (e.g., poultry litter, hog and cattle manure, wood, rice hulls and sugarcane bagasse). They will discuss financing needs and the type of relationships they are seeking to establish with investors and lenders.
For details about these and other sessions, contact Infocast at 818-888-4444, www.infocastinc.com/biomass09, firstname.lastname@example.com

All News Releases By Date
US EPA acts against developers for wetlands, waterway destruction
Release Date: 10/5/2004
Contact Information:
- DENVER – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 is taking action against Sunset Development, LLC, Daniels Construction, Inc., and James P. Daniels, all of Tea, SD, for their destruction of wetlands and portions of a waterway in southwest Sioux Falls, Lincoln County, SD, while building a residential development called Sunset Ridge.
The developers violated the Clean Water Act (CWA) by discharging dredged and fill material into wetlands and other waters, up to an area of four acres, without a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Such materials are considered to be pollutants under the CWA.
Their illegal actions have resulted in the elimination of a 0.4-acre and a 0.6-acre wetland and in adverse impacts to portions of a waterway and its associated 3.0 acres of wetlands, which were connected to a surface water drainage system that flows into the Big Sioux River. The Big Sioux River flows into the Missouri River.
Because the developers have already built homes and roads where the wetlands had existed, the EPA's administrative order does not call for those wetlands to be restored, but instead for a minimum of three acres of other wetlands to be restored for every acre of wetland they impacted. EPA may also consider proposals to create, enhance, or preserve wetlands.
Region 8 Assistant Administrator Carol Rushin said, "EPA took this action to prevent the pollution of the wetlands, lakes, and streams of South Dakota and to provide deterrence against future violations of Federal laws designed to protect valuable water resources.
"The wetlands in this area provide important functions including wildlife habitat, water quality enhancement, water storage and retention, and flood control," she said.
Daniels is the manager and registered agent for Sunset Development, LLC. He also is the president, a director, and the registered agent of Daniels Construction, Inc., which has developed the Sunset Ridge, Candlelight Acres, and Sterling Estates subdivisions in the Sioux Falls area. EPA recently settled a case against Candle Development, LLC, which is owned by Daniels Construction, Inc., for violations of the CWA.
The EPA seeks to resolve the CWA violations as quickly as possible, so its administrative order calls for mitigation efforts by the company to occur in a relatively short period of time.

Grace's Aqua and Yellow Abode
Name: Grace
Location: Dallas, TX
This space was actually inspired by a gorgeous nursery featured here on Apartment Therapy. I was drawn to the light and happy feel of the combination of aqua and yellow in that room and wanted to try and recreate that feeling for our Grace.
I shied away from a theme in favor of finding colors and textures that worked well together. After deciding on Valspar's Lazy Days (in flat) for the walls, I scoured Etsy and my favorite retailers for inspiring pieces and also ended up making a few things myself. The painted canvases, in particular, were a labor of love.
The bookcases are actually picture ledges from IKEA, and I found most of the books for a steal at a used bookstore. The gallery wall is comprised mostly of old frames from Goodwill that I sanded, painted, and filled with maternity pictures.
Overall, I think we ended up with a space that is an undeniably happy one. I hope Grace grows to love it as much as her dad and I do!
Thanks, Ryan! Readers, you can see more of Ryan on her blog, Loved and Lovely.

Certainly some of it caused by the floods but Telstra has certainly made my old 5510 Nokia redundant in mostly all but the biggest cities/towns. Still I cant really complain as I've mostly resided in places it has adequately worked and I have had it now for around 10 years. It is pre next G after-all.

"Kautiliya Arthashastra" – government should collect the tax from citizens the way honey-bee gather honey from flowers.
Chanakya – The king's worship is well-being of his citizens and not that of god
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – He guided his soldiers and administrators not to touch even a leaf of farm produce of the farmers of his kingdom.
Mahatma Gandhi – Improve rural economy to improve national economy.
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar – Freedom, Equality and Fraternity are foundations of society.
Thomas Jefferson – Free press. This is one of very important tenets of liberal government.
John Locke – I learned the role of civil society in resolving conflicts with the help of government.
Jay Bharat!

A Note From Charles September 2013
We love September at the Wickaninnish Inn. The days are still sunny and warm, but at night, there's the first hint of a chill in the air. The mood is mellow and cosy, perfect for relaxing by a fire, perhaps with a glass of wine from the Inn's award-winning cellar.
This year, along with the first breath of autumn, there's also big change in the air.
That's because things have really been cooking at The Pointe Restaurant. In late Spring, The Pointe was named Vancouver Island's best restaurant in the 2013 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. Now, following in the impressive footsteps of Chefs Rod Butters, Andrew Springett and Nicholas Nutting, The Pointe has a new culinary team in place.
Warren Barr, who has been the Inn's Sous Chef since 2010, steps into the role of Executive Chef. Warren originally joined the Inn after stints at several renowned restaurants including Vancouver's four diamond-rated Le Crocodile and Prince Edward Island's Inn at Bay Fortune. For the past three years, he not only worked closely with Chef Nutting, but participated in such high profile events as the 2013 Relais & Châteaux Taste of British Columbia in New York City.
Joining him as Restaurant Chef is David Sider, who was most recently executive Sous Chef at the legendary Langdon Hall in Cambridge, Ontario. Like the Inn, Langdon Hall is one of only a handful of Relais & Chateaux properties in Canada, and is famous for its championship of local produce. David, who grew up in Ontario's Niagara region, has also cooked at a variety of high-profile restaurants, including three of the restaurants on the illustrious San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list.
Both chefs have a passion for local, organic and seasonal produce and are excited to be working with Vancouver Island's exceptional ingredients. We are excited to see what they'll be stirring up in the months ahead.
Things were also sizzling on September 6 at the 12th Annual Wickaninnish Inn Pro-Am-Golf Tournament at the Long Beach Golf Course. Every year, golf pros from Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Whistler team up with members from local clubs to raise funds for athletic programs benefiting local students. This year over $20,000 was raised!
Of course, none of this could happen without support from local businesses and the Tofino-Ucluelet community. And that's what we love best about life at the Inn – we are part of a real community of residents, guests and all those who work at the Inn. And never does that seem more true than in the mellow, relaxed and idyllic month of September.
