Ask an Evolutionary Creationist: A Q&A with Dennis Venema
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.

Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Science is Empowering But Hard to Define
It is easy to be confused about what science is and what scientists do. In part, this is because scientists do so many different things in so many different ways.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.

Thanks for Choosing Directnic
Directnic has enjoyed great success in providing user-friendly solutions to webmasters, businesses, and casual web hobbyists all over the globe. The feedback and experience that those customers continue to provide us makes it possible for us to keep refining and growing a product that puts domain name registration and management in the user's control.
Thanks to this success, our feature set has grown far beyond Linguatron, domain resale, and free hosting. Because of this, we are extending a series of Directnic Free Guides to the public, so that new users can learn how to bring our powerful services into their projects.
About this Document
This document is intended to help Directnic users quickly familiarize themselves with our services, with a focus on the tasks involved in choosing, purchasing, hosting, and creating a web site in conjunction with our services. It is not a guide on administering a web server or other server software, graphic or visual design, HTML authoring, or other specifics that are also related to the general title "webmaster." There will be Directnic Free Guides on some of those topics in the future, but this particular guide is limited in its scope to the tasks involved in using Directnic services.
The intended audience for this document includes any Directnic customer, or any person evaluating the wide range of service offerings available for becoming a website owner and maintainer. However, it is free to the public and limited only by ownership and copyright restrictions, which are detailed below.
Throughout this document, we will make use of a number of terms, which may be foreign to people new to the Internet or the business of registering and making use of an Internet domain name. We will try to be as clear as possible and explain unique industry words. If that's not enough, any terms you are unclear about can be looked up on the Internet, using free services at websites such as http://www.dictionary.com and http://www.computeruser.com/resources/dictionary/, which host online, searchable dictionaries.
Today, Directnic's feature set includes several tools that help webmasters tailor their domains to suit a variety of needs. Of course, we also maintain Linguatron, a powerful domain name search engine. Below, we discuss some details about these services. Keep them in mind as you read the rest of this guide. Doing so will help you flesh out your plan to build a website with Directnic.
Domain Registration and Linguatron
Directnic's registration and search utility work together to help you find the best domain name for your new business or website. The search utility Linguatron boasts powerful language-based word mutation capabilities. Our registration process, which is completely web-based (no email forms to return, and no need to wait on hold!) puts you in charge of your purchases and eliminates wait time when buying domains.
Linguatron works in two ways. It has a bank of categories, based on topic or idea, which, when followed via hyperlink, lead the user to subcategorized words that relate to that topic. By surfing through this thesaurus-like structure, you can pinpoint popular terms and buzzwords, find alternatives that people might search for when looking for a site like yours, and thereby maximize the significance of your site in your target industry.
The other mode of use for Linguatron is a simple keyword search, which returns popular categories and word synonyms for your consideration.
Once you've chosen a word or words you want to base your domain name off of, Linguatron goes a step further by suggesting a huge list of possible domain names, using popular catch-terms, all mutated from the word you selected. You can follow these links directly to a shopping cart and then keep looking.
Our registration process is totally painless. After signing up for a free account, you can use Linguatron to find domains or enter specific domain names you want to purchase, add them to a shopping cart, and check out when you're ready. You can choose to store your credit card information for quick use later, or keep it hidden so that only our internal billing systems can see it.
Free Hosting Options
Once a domain is registered and appears in the Domain Manager in your account, you can do whatever you want with it. The most inexpensive options are, of course, the free ones. We offer free website hosting to all our customers, for all their domains, with no activation charge.
A free hosted domain is served from our fast Tigershark web servers. There are restrictions on the use of our free hosting service, which are detailed in a section below. Setting up any of our hosting plans is a mere matter of a few clicks.
Bannerless Hosting
Similar to our free hosting service, this service provides you with a place to put your website without having to shop around for a third-party provider. At US$15 per year (or 2Gb of transfer, whichever comes first), you get a site with fewer restrictions and no banner ads, as well as the ability to manage your site fully using our Domain Manager.
Premium Hosting
Based on the plan you select, Premium Hosting gives you up to 6000MB of Disk space and 1000GB of transfer per month for 1, 3, or 12 month periods.
It also includes:
Direct DNS
This is a great service for businesses and hobbyists who want to host their site on their own, but don't want to administer a DNS server themselves. At US$5 per year, you can't go wrong.
In this short chapter, we'll cover the prerequisites for getting started as a Directnic webmaster.
What You'll Need
All you need to get started is a domain name from $15 per year with Directnic.com. That's right! Thanks to the fierce competition that arose after domain name sales were deregulated, domain name prices have dropped drastically. While many companies offering low prices on domain names do so at the expense of customer service or user control, our fully automated, web-based system allows us to focus on service and innovation, while still profiting from such a low price.
Site Design Concept
You should have some idea of what kind of website you want to run. While this is a very broad category of decision-making, the two most important aspects of your site to decide upon early on are the site's primary topic (such as a particular line of products, or a certain industry or hobby) and the type of information or services within that topic that you plan to provide on your website (such as news, free downloads, reference material or photos).
Of course, you can continue from here with very little planning, and you won't have to answer any questions about these decisions before purchasing or using your domain. However, doing so will definitely help you make the right choices before you buy.
Reference Material
In order to go even further into planning your website's details, you might consider picking up reference material from your local bookstore or library. There are books that cover not only the topics your website will focus on, but also books that provide tutorials and reference information on the different technologies inherent in building a website. More information on this can be found below, in the section "Becoming an Expert."
Hardware & Software
With the popular proliferation of personal computing products, it may be pointless to point out that purchasing, producing, and publishing an Internet point of presence is practically impossible without first purchasing a personal computer.
In addition, you will need some way of accessing the Internet via that computer. Your local phone book probably has a section for Internet providers. Those companies will help you choose and set up a connection for your home, at prices ranging from $10 or less per month and up for basic 56K modem access, to $40-$70 for high speed access in most cities in the Unites States. Local prices and availability will depend on the maturity of the communication networks put in place by the phone, Internet, and cable companies in your area.
Finally, you will need some software. At the minimum, you will need a web browser and an FTP program. Several alternatives exist for each of these needs, and chances are, one of each of these came pre-installed with your computer. You might also want a web editor program, which will allow you to build your website in an environment similar to the layout tools common in most word processors.
In the process of getting a website up and running, the first necessary step is to purchase the registration for the domain name(s) you want. Directnic can fulfill this need, providing a low price (US$15 per domain, per year) which includes not only the registration, but also the opportunity to use our powerful Domain Manager and other configuration tools for your domain.
Signing up with Directnic is fast and easy. Go to http://www.directnic.com and click the tab labelled "Sign-up" at the top. Fill out the form (providing, at the minimum, complete information for all the required fields). Be sure to use an email address that you have access to, so that you can retrieve your activation code. Once that's been emailed to you, enter the activation code into the form that appeared after you signed up. Then, log in using your username and password (which you selected when filling out the sign-up form). The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
As mentioned above, there are two ways to search for the perfect domain name with Linguatron. In this section, we cover them both in more detail.
Text Search
Directnic offers three different types of text search when looking for a domain name. They are the WHOIS lookup, the basic domain search, and the advanced Linguatron search.
The WHOIS lookup gives information about a domain that has already been registered. WHOIS is useful for contacting the current registrant of a domain, verifying that a newly purchased domain has propagated to the Internet's domain system, and learning other details about an existing domain name.
Basic domain searches are just that: you enter a domain name, and our system determines whether that domain is available for registration. It also suggests alternatives based on what you've entered (such as listing the .net, .com, and .org variants of what you've entered, and more).
The Linguatron search uses your word as a launching point in generating a list of words, phrases, and mutated domain names that are similar to what you entered. For instance, searching for "watermelon" shows that watermelon.com, watermelon.org, and watermelon.net are all taken; however, it suggests more than a dozen unique second-level domains, using the names of plants genetically related to watermelons and other watermelon-based nicknames. Below that, pages upon pages of search suggestions are listed using phrases related to watermelons; such as "watermelon-seed.com" and "the-enormous-watermelon.com." Lastly, below that, there is another huge list of domain names using the word "watermelon" in conjunction with common buzz-prefixes. Examples of this are "1-800-watermelon.com" or "watermelonsuperstore.com."
Spending a little time in Linguatron can be extremely valuable, because it helps you explore the vast linguistic possibilities behind your domain idea. It's like having your own marketing think-tank with a built-in thesaurus and dictionary.
Topic Navigation
The other way to use Linguatron is great for when you're having trouble locking down the right word for your domain. After click on the Search tab, click a category in the "Domain Directory." There are plenty of categories to choose from, spanning topics such as "Communication," "Feelings and Emotion," or "Food." Each of these is fully subcategorized, and can assist in pinpointing a word or phrase that summarizes the image you want for your new website.
Using this tool eventually leads you to results similar to those achieved by performing a text-entry advanced search (detailed above).
When you are logged into Directnic with your username and password, your entire session at the website is encrypted using SSL (a standard Internet technology for protecting the transfer of data between your computer and the web). As you find the domain names you want, you can add them to your Shopping Cart by clicking where instructed.
Your Shopping Cart is stored on your computer, not ours. This is done using another standard web technology, called "cookies." In order to purchase domains with Directnic, you will need to allow these cookies to be placed on your computer. Cookies are small bits of text data (usually just one line long) that your computer provides to our web site; this is how a website such as Directnic can remember information you've provided from page view to page view.
Once you're ready, you can click the link, labeled "Click here to check out." This will lead you to forms, where you provide your billing information and complete the purchase. Be sure to read everything very carefully. It's important to understand that all domain name sales are final; typographical errors, failure to read and understand our terms of service, and other mistakes are not reversible. After providing all your information you will see a summary page, which explains the purchase you are about to make; review this and click "Purchase Domains" when you're sure it's all right.
When you make a purchase or choose to remove domains from your cart, the domains are emptied out of the cookie on your computer, which holds your shopping cart.
This section contains helpful advice you should keep in mind when buying domain names, especially for business use.
Avoiding Common Problems
Through careful analysis of our customer support trouble ticket history, we have determined that the most common mistakes made while purchasing domains are:
Typographical errors - the user types too fast and enters a misspelled version of the domain they wanted. The error isn't caught until after the purchase is made. Unfortunately, domain names can't be "corrected" later, nor can they be refunded or exchanged for the right one.
Wrong registration period - the user forgot to select the number of years they wanted to register the domain for, resulting in a registration for either more or fewer years than they had planned to purchase. The default registration period with Directnic is 2 years; this can be changed to 1-5 years. This cannot be changed after the registration has been processed, however. You will be notified when your domain is nearing expiration, and at that time you can renew the domain for 1-5 years.
Some Legal Advice
Our in-house legal counsel constantly monitors the changing landscape of Internet law, to help us resolve disputes, answer inquiries by our customers, and ensure that Directnic always operates within the legal restrictions of ICANN and other ruling bodies. Thanks to this, we are able to provide a few notes regarding common Internet practices of questionable legality.
Cybersquatting is a term that typically refers to the registration of domain names that either incorporate the exact name or identity of an existing organization or incorporate a variation, but similar name relating to the identity of the entity that holds a protected mark. Cybersquatters purchase and hold these domains in anticipation that the company who owns the intellectual property rights to the name(s) will contact them to purchase the domain(s) at a price far in excess of what was actually paid to register the domain.
By now, readers who have already registered their domains with another registrar are probably wishing they'd shopped around, and purchased them using Directnic's easy service. No problem! Domain names can be transferred from other registrars to Directnic with the same ease as if you had registered them with us to begin with.
How Transfers Work
Although our web-based interface hides it pretty well, the fact is that, behind the scenes, domain name transferral is a somewhat complex process. Because of this, sometimes there is confusion about what aspects of the transfer process we can control.
In brief, here's how it works:
How to Ensure a Successful Transfer
Here are some steps you can take to help ensure that your transfer is successful.
Once your domain is registered, it's time to consider your options for hosting it. Web hosting is a service that provides you with an account on an Internet web server. Using that account, you can upload the files that make up your web site, and they will be immediately viewable from your web address.
Directnic offers web hosting services. As your registrar, we do not require you to use our hosting services; you are free to host your site with any company. Below, we will explain both Directnic's hosting options, as well as how to use the Domain Manager to enable you to use other hosting services and options.
This is our original hosting service. Besides standard hosting, you can set up virtual hosts, which allow you to create separate websites for the same domain by prepending something other than www at the beginning. (For instance, you could create kids.yourdomain.com, help.yourdomain.com, etc., each with separate email addresses.)
Pros and Cons
Well, it's FREE! With this service, you get an FTP account on one of our web servers, where you can upload your site files. The activation process is very simple, because it's all handled via the Domain Manager. Simply activate Directnic Free Hosting in your Domain Manager for any domain you want.
The drawbacks of Directnic's free hosting services are mandatory banner ads and limits on the types and sizes of files you can host. The web server, Tigershark, inserts banners into your HTML code, advertising the services of Directnic or our advertising clients. It also automatically deletes files larger than 200K on a regular basis, as well as files that are not HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), SWF (Macromedia's Shockwave Flash), JPG/JPEG/JPE (image format), GIF (Compuserve's Graphic Interchange Format), PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format), JS (JavaScript), or TXT (plain old text). Finally, files hosted on Directnic free servers cannot be referenced from other web servers (using IMG or LINK tags, for instance). These policies allow our servers to operate efficiently enough to provide free hosting.
Service Details
For more detailed information than what is provided here, see our terms of service agreement (http://www.directnic.com/legal/free_hosting.php), which provides full details.
Simply put, Directnic free hosting provides an Internet presence for websites for personal or business use. These websites may use standard web technologies as discussed above for any legal purpose unless otherwise disallowed by our terms of service agreement. The service is free, but there is no warrantee against downtime or loss of data.
How to Activate Free Hosting
The following procedure works for any domain that is registered through us. Note that activating free hosting will cancel a prior purchase of Paid DNS Hosting or Bannerless Hosting, and restoring either of those services will require that it be purchased again at the regular service price.
If you had to change nameserver options in order to access the hosting information, it will take between 48-72 hours before that change will take effect. Otherwise, it will be virtually immediate.
Similar to our free hosting, this low-priced service (US$15 per year or 2Gb of data served, whichever comes first) removes several restrictions, including the mandatory banners.
Pros and Cons
For the low price of US$15, you get a lot! Shop around for web hosting services and you'll find this competes well against prices for similar services. The 1 year/ 2Gb limit is very generous; 2Gb is a huge amount of data. It's highly doubtful that any but the most successful websites will exceed this in a year. In addition, the file size limit is raised considerably; 5Mb is the largest that any single file can have on this service. The file type limit is completely removed in this service, but server-side extensions and programs (such as CGI, Perl, PHP, FrontPage Extentions, and ASP) won't function.
As mentioned, there is no support for server-side executable web programs; only basic web sites and other downloadable files. The 5Mb file size limit is generous, but doesn't provide for large downloads, such as applications, or large audio/video files.
Service Details
With the exception of the file size limit, file type limit, file hotlinking, and mandatory banner, the service details are exactly the same as those for Free Hosting, and the same terms of service agreement (http://www.directnic.com/legal/free_hosting.php) applies.
How to Activate Bannerless Hosting
Based on the plan you select, Premium Hosting gives you up to 6000MB of Disk space and 1000GB of transfer per month for 1, 3, or 12 month periods.
Pros and Cons
For the low monthly fee from $3.95, you get tons of advanced features such as MySQL databases, email anti-spam and anti-virus, Perl CGI, PHP with GD lib and most standard PHP modules, web-based file editor, and Webalizer traffic analysis. You also have pop3 email accounts, webmail, email forwarding, mail list, email auto-responder.
With so many advanced features available, you would need quite some time learning how to use all of them!
Service Details
Bronze Plan:
Gold Plan:
Platinum Plan:
DNS, or Domain Name System, is the name for an automatic exchange of information between computers on the Internet. DNS translates human-readable addresses (such as www.directnic.com) into a numeric, machine-language IP address (such as 126.96.36.199). Until recently, Directnic did not offer the ability to control a domain's DNS records; they were either hosted with Directnic, using pre-set DNS records, or the DNS and website were hosted elsewhere (see "Using Other Hosting Providers," below).
Now, however, users have the option to pay US$5 (per domain, per year) for the ability to manage their own DNS with Directnic. This means that, while hosting your website at another company or at your own location, you still have full control over the addresses used for your mailserver and any web or other sites on your domain.
Pros and Cons
US$5!!! Many companies charge this much just to make a single change to a paid DNS record, with yearly service usually starting at $15 and up. By managing your own DNS, you can do virtually anything you want with your domain. This is a dream come true for webmasters who run their own servers at their location.
Cons? What cons? US$5 for full control of your domain's DNS doesn't leave much room for a downside.
Service Details
There are no specific service details regarding Direct DNS; however, it is covered by our general terms of service agreement (http://www.directnic.com/legal/policy.php).
How to Activate Direct DNS
For various reasons, you might opt to purchase service from another company to get full-featured web hosting without restrictions.
Pros and Cons
This gives you full consumer prerogative over what options, geographic location, bandwidth restrictions and other service details you want to pay for. A full service web host often allows at least some guarantees about backups, as well as access to CGI or another executable web method, meaning your sites could be interactive, processing forms or allowing total e-commerce. For an additional fee, many providers will also give you a UNIX login to your server or a database account.
The only direct disadvantages involved in choosing a third-party web hosting provider are the cost, and the possibility of getting less control over your domain's hosting options than you might get at Directnic. Using two or more companies for operating your web site also increases the chances of website downtime, since, if either Directnic or your hosting provider experiences an outage, the site will probably be unreachable.
How to Use Another Hosting Provider
Thanks to the availability of free and low-cost server software, private individuals, as well as businesses, can host their own servers from any Internet-connected computer with a constant connection and a static IP address. (A static IP is an Internet address that never changes, which is sometimes an optional service when you purchase high-speed, "always-on" Internet service. Contact your Internet access provider for details.)
You have the option of running your own DNS server (not a task to be taken lightly!) or using our Direct DNS service. However, installing and administering your own Internet servers is far beyond the scope of this document. The software provider and your local bookstore should both have reference material to help with that.
Building a website is a lot like playing with a Rubik's Cube puzzle in two ways; it takes minutes to learn but a lifetime to master, and, no matter how much you work at it, it's never quite done. This section points you in the right direction for learning the technologies and techniques that go into putting your stuff (whatever that stuff might be) online.
There are many different ways of distributing information on the Internet; indeed, any file that you can use on your computer can also be sent across the Internet, viewable to anybody who has the right program to use it. However, there are a number of technologies that were designed specifically for the Web, and, in particular, for making websites.
HTML is the markup language that describes a website. It is the core file type for the Web (although it is gradually being phased out by the more complicated and capable XML). A markup language is not a programming language, and, contrary to certain misconceptions, requires no programming knowledge whatsoever (although such experience can be brought to bear in developing a cool site).
Markup languages transform plain-text files, which lack even the most basic formatting features, such as text styling with fonts or colors, into something more. By surrounding blocks of text with markup tags, you can change the way they will be presented when viewed in a browser. The tags are pretty simple to use, and make up the functionality of HTML.
The magic behind HTML is in elements called "tags." Tags are just text, surrounded by greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols. These tags have a specific (but very forgiving) syntax, and instruct the browser how to present the stuff around it. Most tags have an opening and closing instruction, and whatever falls between those is affected by them. For instance, if the following line was part of a web page's source code...
This part would be boldfaced but this part wouldn't be.
No matter what anybody tells you, remember that HTML is really, really easy. There are three primary ways to go about learning it, all three of which have free alternatives (provided you have a computer and Internet access).
1. View Source - go to a website that you like, click on the "View" menu, and choose "View Source." This will show you the HTML that your browser transformed into the page you're viewing.
2. RTFM - Read the Friendly Manuals. Pick up an HTML guide from your local bookstore, or search the web for HTML tutorials.
3. Cheat - download any of the free HTML editors from the web. These range in complexity from simple source editors with buttons that insert the appropriate tags into the text editor, to full-featured WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) visual editors.
While the third option is fine for beginners or experienced professionals, anyone in between will definitely benefit from learning to do it the old fashioned way. This will allow you greater control over the end result.
Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash, a technology developed by Macromedia, is awesome. It provides webmasters and users with a low-cost, modem-friendly method of transmitting complex audio/video animations and website controls. The files are not simple text files like HTML and Javascript; instead, they are built using Macromedia's Flash builder application. (Since Macromedia released the file format for SWF animations, competing builder applications may pop up here and there, but we aren't aware of any at this time. If you are familiar with server scripting languages, you might also be interested in knowing that PHP is capable of generating SWF animations on the fly.)
If you aren't already familiar with what SWF can do, you must see it to believe it. Most current web browsers come with a relatively current version of the viewer, but grab the newest version from www.macromedia.com anyway. Then, check out www.globz.net or www.finalfantasy.com to see it at work. Macromedia also hosts a directory of cool websites using Flash, which is great for wasting an entire week being totally hypnotized by your computer.
As mentioned above, this is cheating. (Actually, it's standard industry practice, but we gurus love harassing the new guys.) There are lots of web editing applications, some free, some not free but worthwhile, some neither free nor worthwhile. Before spending money on a non-free one, be sure to check out some software review sites and see what users say about it.
As mentioned above, since HTML and Javascript are text-based languages, a webmaster who knows (or wants to learn) the real tricks of the trade can use any text editing software (Notepad for Windows, Simpletext for MacOS, Pico for UNIX, etc.) to write web code.
In order to publish your newly created site on the Internet, you will use a tool called FTP. Even if your web editor has a publishing feature that simplifies this process, you will still need to know some information about FTP in order to tell that publishing feature what it needs to know in order to work its magic.
Even if you use your Web design application's Web publishing feature, you still need to know basic information about your FTP account. Typically, only four or five pieces of information are required. These are:
Aside from that, you might not need to read the rest of this section if you only intend to send your files to the Internet server from such a feature. If you want to use FTP separately, read on.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which pretty clearly describes its purpose. Unlike HTTP, FTP connections are sustained throughout a login sessions (HTTP simply sends you a file and then closes the connection.) This allows you to login, navigate the disk on the server using commands, upload and download files, and organize your directory layout.
Most FTP servers and client applications automatically detect the type of a file before sending/receiving it. (By type, we mean whether it is a binary file or text file.) In this case, you don't have to worry about setting the mode; it's done for you. If some of your files seem to be garbled once they get uploaded, however, you might have to specify the type when you transfer it.
While this is by no means a complete reference for using FTP from a command-line client, it should get you started. (Note that many command-line clients have a "help" command that will explain details on various commands.) In each of the following examples, I use placeholder names such as "somefile" to denote the filename supplied to a command. Replace these placeholders with the files, directories, and servers you're working with.
* open some.server.com - Usually opens a connection to a new FTP server.
* cd some/directory/name - Changes your location on the disk to a new directory. Beginning the directory name with a slash (/) tells your client program to first switch to the disk's root directory, and then go from there. When used anywhere except the beginning of the directory name, it denotes that what follows is a subdirectory.
* get somefile - Initiates a download of the file named "somefile." You can also specify the full directory and pathname, such as get somedir/somefile
* put somefile - Initiates an upload of the file named "somefile." You can specify the full directory path just like with "get."
* ls - list the files in the current directory. You can optionally supply a pathname that you want to view, and it will be listed without actually moving you to that directory.
* mkdir somedir - Creates a new directory named "somedir." You can create a directory somewhere other than your current directory location by putting the new directory name at the end of an existing one (such as mkdir /some/existing/dir/newdir)
* rmdir somedir - Deletes a directory named "somedir" (if it's empty). You can specify a longer pathname, such as with mkdir (only the last directory in the full pathname will be deleted, not the whole tree.)
* rm somefile - Deletes a file named "somefile." As with get and put, you can specify a full pathname to the file (only the file will be deleted, not any of the directories you specified to locate it).
* cp somefile somenewfile - Copies the file "somefile" as a new file named "somenewfile." Either "somefile" or "somenewfile" can be replaced with a full directory path to a file location.
In addition, some FTP servers support additional commands that aren't part of the standard FTP command set.
* mv somefile somenewfile - Moves the file "somefile" to the name "somenewfile." This is used both for moving files to a new location, and renaming a file but keeping it in the same location. Either filename can be a full path, and the destination file doesn't need to actually contain a filename - it can be just a directory path where you want to move the file to (with the same filename it has in the current location.) Note that moving a file deletes the copy in the original location.
* less somefile - some servers will spawn a text viewer called "less," allowing you to read a textfile named "somefile."
Each of these commands (both the standard and nonstandard ones) might have additional parameters which change or enhance how they work. Try typing help commandname and see if it gives you any clues.
Your computer probably had an FTP program pre-installed when you bought it. Windows users have a command line program (simply called "ftp"). MacOS users will probably have Fetch FTP. UNIX users might have a variety of them installed, the most common ones being "ftp" and the more powerful "ncftp." With the exception of Fetch for MacOS, all of these require that you use the hand-typed commands mentioned above in order to transfer files between your computer and the server.
If you prefer a graphical point-and-click interface, there are plenty available for free on the Internet, as well as some that are not free, but allow you to download them and use them on a trial basis before deciding whether or not to pay for them. Usually, these applications work very much like your computer's normal file manager (Explorer or Finder windows that let you drag-and-drop files between locations). Using this, you enter the 4 critical bits of info discussed at the beginning of this chapter, and then simply point, click, drag and drop your files where you want them to go.
Because the command-line FTP program provided with Windows is particularly user-grouchy, we recommend visiting www.download.com (or your favorite software downloading website) and looking around for a suitable replacement.
A nifty feature inherent in many modern web design programs (such as Macromedia's Dreamweaver) is the publish or synchronize command. This allows you to enter those 4 or 5 critical bits of information just once, and then, as a standard part of editing your website, instruct the editor to synchronize the FTP server with whatever changes you've made on the site files on your own computer.
Because each of the editors handles the configuration and usage of its publishing feature in unique (and sometimes confusing) ways, it's best to consult the manual or Help menu for instructions on setting this up. However, once it's been configured for a given site, subsequent updates are typically a one-click operation.
While the Internet can always benefit from fresh and new content, not everyone has time to fill a whole site with new information on a daily basis. Perhaps you don't have a skilled graphic artist in your pocket, but you want a top-notch visual appeal to your site; maybe your site visitors already have plenty of information available, but you'd like to give them even more without expending extra effort. For whatever reason, it's often convenient to add free stuff to your website.
One of the very nifty things Javascript makes possible is the easy addition of free content. Many websites which update their content on a daily basis (or, even better, up to the minute) allow webmasters to insert Javascript into their own sites, which pulls this content from elsewhere on the web and puts it inline with the rest of your site. This is a lot more common than you might think, and there are sources for this type of content in almost any category you could ask for. With just a little bit of research, you could wind up with a constant supply of self-updating information on your site, with no more effort than a quick copy and paste operation.
The easiest way to locate services like this is to visit your favorite search engine (such as http://search.directnic.com) and perform a search for the words "free content," along with one or two words describing the topics you're interested in.
There are also individuals and organizations that publish images, photos, and graphics that webmasters can use, either with or without paying a royalty. In fact, when searching for free Web pix, you might decide there are too many! It can take a long time to separate the fluff and scruff from the stuff that's up to snuff. We highly recommend creating a folder in your Web browser's bookmarks tool specifically for sites like this; most of the sites that have good freebies have lots of them, and you don't want to forget where they were.
Just like with the free content, free images can be found by doing a search at http://search.directnic.com or any other search engine.
Using content, graphics and other digital content that somebody worked hard to produce without their permission is rude, and sometimes (in the case of copyrighted works) illegal. Don't do it. If the author/artist doesn't say one way or the other whether it's okay to use their work, email and ask them.
The term "webmaster" was probably coined partly because of ego, and partly because of the vast variety and depth of knowledge required to become a really good one. Many of the best webmasters serve the additional duties of programmers, writers, visual artists, marketing experts, layout editors, troubleshooters, and server admins, in addition to being experts in whatever industry or field their website happens to be about.
If you intend to make a career, or even a long-term hobby, out of being a webmaster, you're going to wind up at the bookstore. There are so many technologies, and so many authors/publishers covering them, you can easily find yourself employing the EMMM (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe) consumer tactic just to get out of the bookstore.
The type of book you want depends on what you already know. Many books have a rating on the front or back cover or spine, denoting the level and areas of knowledge suggested by the authors as "prerequisites" for learning from that book. The foreword will also give you tips about the recommended audience, as well as giving insight about the "voice" the author uses in explaining their topics. Prices for books covering technical topics vary wildly; I've personally spent $15.99 on some really great books that I still use years later; I've also flushed upwards of $60.00 on books that immediately served me by keeping my computer monitor at eye level. Other shoppers, bookstore employees, and Internet message boards are great ways to make good purchasing decisions. Remember that the following criteria are essential to finding the right book for you:
* What level of knowledge is expected for learning from this book?
* What specific uses of the technologies being discussed does this book focus on most?
* How well is the publisher respected among technology experts?
* What version of the technologies being discussed were available when the book was published? Are those versions still commonly in use?
* What computer platforms does the author use for the majority of their examples?
There are a number of reasons why you might be hunting for applications to help you be a better webmaster. Maybe a better FTP application would make site updates easier, or even automatic. Perhaps you want to keep copies of all the common Web browsers handy, so you can make sure your site looks right for all your users. Maybe you need graphics programs, animators, or tools to generate imagemaps. All this and more can be found and downloaded on the Internet, many for free, others for a cost.
Because of the software licensing revolutions that occurred in the '80s and '90s (and continue today), computer users have a great advantage in selecting software that they intend to purchase. Back when the Internet was first entering into our homes, independent programmers found that the only way to compete against brand-name boxed software you could buy from a store was to allow people to download free, limited-use versions of their products. Lots of websites cashed in on this trend, serving as central repositories where Internet window-shoppers could browse all the competing software vendors' products at once, comparing screen shots, feature sets, and more.
Today, this trend has cemented itself as the standard method of choosing a software package. Indeed, nowadays it's downright silly to buy a boxed software package from a store unless you've already used it; why risk the money without knowing whether you like the product?
So here we will offer a few websites that provide downloadable software without charge, without even the need to register as a user at that site. Again, some of the featured software on these sites is not free, but much of it is, and almost all of it is available in a limited demo version. Happy shopping!

The Lemonheads - The Lemonheads
Album Details
- Artist: The Lemonheads
- Album: The Lemonheads
- Label: Vagrant
- Year of Release: 2006
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: christopherdrew on 2006-12-27
If there's one thing that's apparent on the new self-titled Lemonheads album, it's that Evan Dando sounds tired; certainly his last outing, the solo effort 'Baby I'm Bored' inspired a similar amount of somnolence in the listener. Here, at least, it sounds as though he's trying. The songs are catchy enough, as he's ably backed by the Descendents' Bill Stevenson and Karl Alvarez, both of whom seem right at home with Dando's lazy, tongue-in-cheek indie-pop; it's simply Dando himself who sounds as though he's constantly fighting off narcolepsy.
It's not a bad album by any means; 'Black Gown' kicks things off beautifully, sounding like the Lemonheads of yore: bouncy, clumsy and mischievous; and Dando's impish charm shows up here and there (sometimes even for the entire song! Go figger!) in tracks like 'Let's Just Laugh' and 'Poughkeepsie', and his lyrics are as clever and playful as always. I just get the feeling that this'd be more of an enjoyable album had it been released ten years ago, back when we were all wondering if 'It's A Shame About Ray' was a fluke (to be fair, it wasn't: Evan Dando is a very talented songwriter when he's able to control a) his drug use, and b) his ego; in fact, you should all go out and purchase a copy of that lovely album, right now...). As it stands now, this one just feels like he's offered too little, too late.

Our community come up with some great articles and this is a fine example. Read on
My friend recently bought a new notebook featuring a new Ivy Bridge processor. The new Ivy Bridge CPU's feature the Intel HD 4000 graphics. We decided to benchmark both the Intel HD 4000 graphics and the Intel 3000 graphics...
Test Rig 1: Test Rig 2:
GPU: Intel HD 3000 GPU: Intel HD 4000
CPU: i7 2630qm CPU: i7 3610qm
RAM: 8gb ddr3 1333mhz RAM: 8gb ddr3 1333mhz
Resolution: 1366x768 Resolution: 1366x768
We thought we would test a very demanding game, an average demanding game and a lesser demanding game. Our 3 choices were Battlefield 3, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Call of Duty: Black ops. Let's start with the lesser Demanding game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops:
1024x768. Medium Settings No AA, No AF.
Intel HD 3000: An average of 28 fps.
Intel HD 4000: An average of 36 fps.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
1280x720, Low settings, No AA, No AF.
Intel HD 3000: An average of 26 fps
Intel HD 4000: An average of 37 fps.
Battlefield 3:
1024x768, Medium AA, AF: 2x.
Intel HD 3000: An average of 18 fps.
Intel HD 4000: An average of 26 fps.
In conclusion, you can see that Intel 4000 Graphics outperform the Intel 3000 graphics by an estimated average of 10fps, in each game.

Washington Park, 7:30 AM
Join your Springfield High School classmates for a run, jog or walk through Washington Park to start the day and catch up with friends, show off your athletic abilities and/or burn off a few extra calories.
This run/walk is an untimed informal opportunity to meet up with others and have a good time. The cost is FREE and families are welcome to join the fun!
A special prize will be awarded to the first place finisher in both the men's and women's categories!!
The route we will use is shown on the map below. We will start at the picnic/playground area where nearby parking is available. Be sure to bring your own water or sports beverage to stay hydrated as it will likely be warm out!
Other important stuff to know:
• The park is expected to be busy that morning so you will want to get there early. There is another group having a walk-a-thon fundraiser there to benefit the National Kidney Foundation. This is a separate event, so don't get confused if you see them there too.
• Please plan to arrive no later than 7:15 am to have ample time to park, use the restroom if needed and find the group. We will start at 7:30 am SHARP!
• Please contact Ann Reisch at firstname.lastname@example.com if you plan to attend so that we can get an idea of how many people to expect and to properly coordinate our activities with Washington Park officials. Feel free to also contact her with any questions you may have.
• We hope to see you there!!

brands under fire
Posted by Sheila Shayon on June 18, 2013 04:52 PM
In the wake of the PRISM scandal, brands are continuing to jockey for their place among the most transparent as the government slowly concedes to releasing more surveillance data collected through the top-secret NSA program, which was made public by whistle blower Edward Snowden.
Requests by Facebook, Microsoft, Google and the like to release data requested by the government have been answered this week. While the initial accusations that the internet companies allowed the NSA to troll data through a wide-open back door was ruled false, the companies still wished to clear their names in conjunction with the thousands of written data requests with which they are charged to comply with per federal laws.
To date, Apple, Facebook, Yahoo, and Microsoft have disclosed the number of requests received over certain blocks of time. Facebook published its first transparency report, where it said it received up to 10,000 requests between July and December 2012. Meanwhile, Apple said it faced up to 5,000 federal, state and local requests between December 2012 and May 2013, Microsoft reported 7,000 requests from July through December 2012, and Yahoo reported the most, with 13,000 requests for data in the past 18 months, the BBC reports.Continue reading...

Google has bowed to pressure initiated by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood and removed ads and search results for numerous websites selling pharmaceuticals without prescriptions.
The internet giant was issued a litigation hold letter that alerted the company to preserve evidence of anything it takes down, threatening possible legal action. This isn't the first time that Google has been scrutinized by the federal government for the content that lands on its search pages, including ads for illegal drugs and pharmaceuticals, as well as counterfeit goods.
Hood, co-chairman of the National Association of Attorneys General's intellectual property committee has targeted the company for not being proactive in its monitoring of ads and search results, although the company has previously been fined for a similar offense. "This behavior means that Google is putting consumers at risk and facilitating wrongdoing, all while profiting handsomely from illegal behavior," Hood said.Continue reading...

let's make a deal
Posted by Mark J. Miller on May 20, 2013 12:22 PM
In what Yahoo hopes to be a life-altering deal, the aging internet company acquired social media site Tumblr for $1.1 billion, affectively gaining the attention of millions of users that visit Tumblr monthly (that is, if they all don't jump ship first).
Purchase rumors began to swirl last week after the company's CFO Ken Goldman spoke of Yahoo's "aging demographic" and their need to be "cool" again. With the acquisition now official, Yahoo will suddenly be knee deep in the content-consuming, uber-engaged millennials that it craves, but the question is whether Tumblr's core users will stick around for fear that Yahoo will alter the blogging site—or whether advertisers and brands can handle the rough-and-tumble world of Tumblr.
However, CEO Marissa Mayer was quick to assure users (with her first Tumblr post, of course; she also launched her own Tumblr and showed a sense of humor over the "WFH" debate) that Yahoo would "not screw it up" and had no plans to tamper with the site or its crew. Mayer's post, in the copyright-flouting spirit of Tumblr, used an image that without first getting its creator's permission.
Founder David Karp—who is slated to become Forbes' youngest billionaire—will remain at the head of the company along with his team. According to Mayer, it seems the only major plans Yahoo has for Tumblr (besides not screwing it up) are more opportunities for native advertising (aka advertorials or sponsored content, which Karp & Co. have been testing in the wake of earlier stumbles) in addition to implementing Yahoo search on Tumblr to start mining all that juicy millennial user data.Continue reading...

As it explores new revenue streams and strategies to build out its web platform, Yahoo may be looking to invest in a platform that is sure to bring it plenty of the millennials it craves.
According to a report by All Things D, sources close to Yahoo! have said that the company may be considering a "strategic investment in or outright buy" of social blogging mecca Tumblr. After all, the startup, which is valued around $800 million, is one of the most popular social platforms and has become increasingly a part of branding arsenals as companies take advantage of its photo-heavy community.
Update: The acquisition was approved by Yahoo's board on Sunday, and announced via a press release, David Karp's Tumblr post and Marissa Mayer's first Tumblr post on Monday morning. The tl;dr version: Yahoo promises to leave the Tumblr brand independent and "not screw it up," leaving Karp as CEO and its staff intact. Yahoo will get access to Tumblr's 300 million monthly unique visitors; Tumblr gets the backing to continue its product roadmap and Karp's vision.Continue reading...

trademark wars
Posted by Mark J. Miller on May 7, 2013 03:35 PM
Since last year's launch of Aereo, the disruptive streaming service that allows consumers to watch TV online as well as on mobile devices for a small monthly fee, there has been a lot of legal wrangling between the company and broadcasters of every stripe.
Two of the major players in the fight have been Barry Diller, whose IAC unit backs Aereo, and Rupert Murdoch, whose U.S. broadcast network FOX has threatened to move to cable to avoid losing out on streaming fees.
CBS head Les Moonves has also said his network could go the cable route if Aereo is allowed to continue unchecked. While CBS has previously taken legal action against Aereo, the tables have now turned as the streaming site moves to block future suits from CBS and its affiliates.Continue reading...

Saturn's third-largest moon Dione can be seen through the Titan haze in this view of the two posing before the planet and its rings from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The rings, viewed nearly edge-on, appear as a horizontal line through the image. The rings cast shadows on Saturn, which appear as dark lines at the bottom of the image. The Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera made this image on May 21, 2011, at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles (2.3 million kilometers) from Titan.

I love woman but after seeing this I am turning gay. Fri, 2012-02-10 04:04 — Anonymous
I think the snaps are classy!! Your expressions convey the kind of confusion which you see in the comments above from our friends. All were least expecting you to shed clothes and you are kinda expressing it nicely :) Thu, 2012-02-09 10:07 — Anonymous
Needs to put on some weight in the right places to pull off such a cover. Thu, 2012-02-09 10:03 — Anonymous
WHY WHY WHY would anyone post this as a magazine cover? And of all actors, why would Kalki agree to this? She looks disgustingly pale and thin, and her body is not good. It looks almost offensive to the eyes. Child porn. Thu, 2012-02-09 07:40 — Anonymous

Thought it was enough to hold a party these days? It has to be a 'kiki' now - or at least it does if you're a member of the Scissor Sisters.
'Let's Have A Kiki' is Ana Matronic's finest moment on the band's new album 'Magic Hour' - a spectacularly camp track about hosting a private party and one of the album's standout tracks.
We caught up with the flamboyant frontwoman to discuss kikis further - and find out who she would invite to her dream event. She lists the first lady of the United States, a few pop megastars and 'a real scissor sister' in her ultimate kiki guestlist. Check it out below...

Privacy in a Networked Environment
With the explosive growth of electronic networks and wide accessibility of online information, EDUCAUSE members -- along with many other higher education constituencies -- are dealing with a formidable set of privacy issues.

I am currently using OMAPL138 (Code composer v5)and the project settings are as follows
Family C6000
Variant Generic C67X device
I tried to add SYS/BIOS support to existing project. However I am not sure what needs to be entered in the following fields
vikas,for the device you should choose Generic C674x device, that's the DSP available on OMAPL138. The target field will then be populated automatically to "ti.targets.C674" for COFF or "ti.targets.elf.C674" for ELF, which you can choose in Advanced Settings. Drop-down box for platforms will contain multiple platforms, one of them ti.platforms.evmOMAPL138. You can choose that one, or any other that corresponds to your hardware.
If my reply answers your question please mark the thread as answered.
I figured but had already posted the question!.

Crosswalks and bikes: What not to do
By MICHAEL MELLO
Q. I'm on a crusade about people riding their bicycles in crosswalks. It's illegal, just look at (California Vehicle Code) 21200a. If they're in the crosswalk, they have to walk the bicycle. I can't tell you how many times I've seen drivers have to slam on their brakes. They stopped to let pedestrians go, and then at the last second, s

It's tough to see those ol' lane lines
By ART MARROQUIN
Q. The lanes are not clearly defined as I drive south on Harbor Boulevard while going through the intersection of Ball Road in Anaheim. Can the city install reflectors or paint dotted lines so that the driver will know which lane to follow? I have seen three near-accidents because drivers did not know which lane to follow. I also saw a

Q. The railroad crossing near Taft Avenue and Glassell Street in Orange seems to be defective. Quite a few times, around 7 a.m., the crossing lights flash and the barriers go down but no train comes. One day this happened four times in a row with no train. Also, after the crossing arms go up, the traffic light for drivers traveling wes

Alton Old Home Day This Saturday
Posted on August 13th, 2010 No commentsCome to the lake this weekend and enjoy a full day of good old-fashioned fun at the Alton Old Home Day festivities. With a road race, boat show, craft fair, Bingo, a concert, and fireworks, there is sure to be something for everyone! On Saturday, August 14th, the Alton Parks & Recreation Department will host this special event in the quaint village of Alton Bay at the southern tip of Lake Winnipesaukee.
To kick off the festivities, there will be a 5K Road Race at 9:00am. This run is an official Runner's World race featuring computerized timing, traffic control, and prizes to runners in various categories, not to mention one of the most scenic courses in New Hampshire!
If you missed the 37th Annual Lake Winnipesaukee Antique & Classic Boat Show at Meredith Town Docks last month, you have another chance to see some beautiful boats this Saturday at the Vintage Boat Show, which is also part of the Alton Old Home Day events. The classic boats will be docked and on display from 9:00am – 12:00pm.
The Craft Fair will be held at the Alton Bay Community Center from 10:00am – 5:00pm and will showcase handmade New England craft items, including fine wood crafts, candles, fleece, stoneware pottery, Native American jewelry, fabrics, quilts, doll furniture, scroll saw fretwork, handmade soaps, floral pieces, and much more.
At 4:00, head over to the Alton Bay Bandstand for a game of BINGO with the family, or join the Fire Department for a summer barbeque. The fun continues with a concert at 7:00 with the music of Echo Tones, followed by a fireworks display over the lake at 9:00.
If you are visiting the Lakes Region this weekend, you might want to swing by Alton Bay on Saturday… a day like this is the epitome of summer in New England!

External JQuery
I have been looking for a way to put JQuery code in an external file rather than right in the head of the document. I thought just putting in a separate .js file and referencing it like regular JavaScript but it doesn't work. Is it suppose to work and I am just doing something wrong or is there something special that you have to do?That should work just fine, you are probably just getting something wrong. You should post how you are calling that external JS file and its exact contents.Thanks Criss,
Everything does work just like javascript. The biggest problem was with my amazing typing skills and not being able to spot every typo the first time. Maybe next time I will check for typos a few more times before I start posting here.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Jaylee, I would just like to thank you for the level of service and professionalism that you displayed in managing my property at Weeroona Ave. I came to you as you had managed properties for me previously; as you know I have had investment properties both in Bendigo and Queensland, and I am yet to find a property manager who displays the levels of integrity and professionalism that I have found with you. As a busy person it is important for me to have confidence that my investment is being managed professionally and that I do not have to double check everything that comes through; my experience with you has always been positive, and this coupled with the friendly and professional team that you have developed at Bendigo Real Estate has made the process incredibly easy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others looking to have a "worry free" investment property.
Kind regards, Jennifer Day
Jaylee: Could not fault your management in any way. Excellent overall for the
management of my property.
Ms S Ong
Jaylee: As far as great customer service goes, Jaylee holds all the qualities at the highest
level. Very friendly, very courteous and very professional.
T & H Rodda
Jaylee: We just wanted to drop you a line to say how much we have appreciated
Jaylee's management of our property in Kennington. We have 5 investment
properties both here in Victoria and in Queensland. All of them have property
managers and Jaylee is right out there in front. We couldn't be happier and
wanted you to know.
D. Pietsch & M Koutzas
Jaylee: Please pass on my thanks to Jaylee for all she has done in her role of Property
Manager. Her diligence and attention to detail have been outstanding in what
was an exceptionally difficult property to manage. I have also appreciated her
high level of communication skills. I wish to work in the Real Estate industry and I
have learnt a great deal from her.
K Muir
Jaylee: Jaylee has been exceptional with the way she has handled this
J Tuck
Jaylee: Jaylee is excellent in all areas and we would like to see her retained at all costs.
To get someone of her calibre would be hard to find.
K & E Hall
Jaylee: Very happy with how smooth everything is going, especially as it is our first
N & F Elmer
Jaylee: Am always very happy with everything and greatly appreciate having
allowances made for me to visit when I'm in town. Thank you!
S Steel
Eboni: Thankyou so much for doing the final inspection and returning the bond as quickly as you have...you are truly a legend. I truly appreciate all you have done and thanks to yourself, Jaylee and Lisa, I can say it really was a pleasure being a tenant with BRE.
Thankyou again. Regards, Richard

Bonuses continue to fuel partisan divide
County clerk tells her account, reason to board committee
The Grundy County Personnel Committee and County Clerk Lana Phillips addressed questions and concerns regarding end-of-year bonuses that came out of her office in November.

At last months' Finance Committee meeting, Chairman Ron Severson brought it to the committee's attention that bonuses were given out of Phillips' office, as well as the treasurer's and state's attorney's offices. The bonuses out of the state's attorney's office were under the previous state's attorney.
