From The Detroit News: http://www.detnews.com/article/20100204/NATION/2040402/1409/USS-Normandy-diverted-from-Middle-East-to-help-Haitians#ixzz0fW63mIne Stationed just off the coast of a Haitian island, Navy Capt. Jeffrey Griffin has seen wrenching poverty, sickness and hunger, but the Grosse Pointe Park native also sees hope as the sailors of the USS Normandy deliver daily food, water and medicine. Griffin is the commanding officer of the ship -- a 570-foot guided missile cruiser with a crew of 300. Last month, they were in final preparations to head to the Middle East until Griffin received a call about 2:30 a.m. Jan. 12. The new orders: Head to Haiti immediately to aid in humanitarian efforts, prompting the crew to switch from readying Tomahawk missiles to relief endeavors. |

OMG, This was the best chicken I ever made. My family loved it and it was so simple to make. I must agree with the other 475 was to high next time I will use 425 as my tempearture.
This IS the best chicken I have ever made. I have tried other recipes and even my mom had a recipe she used. I told her to try this and even my dad commented how good it was. I didn't make it in a cast iron skillet, just a nonstick. Im going to try it next time in a cast iron skillet. I have a flat top stove and forgot about using my cast iron in the oven. It gets really crispy and the flavors from the spices permeates all the meat. Its really juicy and the pan drippings are to die for. I add a cup or so of chicken broth so I have plenty of gravy. If I didn't not sure how much gravy I would have. But its still delicious. The only recipe I use now for Roast Chicken. No need to look for a better recipe, there's none out there!! You won't regret making this.

My family fell in love with this recipe. It was so simple to make and very tasty. I was about to discard the onions until my husband put it on the side of his plate and said they were just as delicious. My son loved the skin, it was so crispy and the meat was very moist. Thank you
Neelys, keep the good recipes coming. -
This was simple to make and the most tender moist roasted chicken I ever had. The sauce was superb. I dod agree with bryantracie 475 was a little high and i did turn down to 425 that seemed perfect. Took a little longer but weel worth it. I am going to try the chicken fried steak and Mama Neely's pot roast next.

Love, love, love this recipe!! The chicken is so juicy and tender on the inside (even the white meat and the skin is so crispy and flavorful on the outside. I made this a couple of weeks ago and the whole family loved it. It is currently in the oven for supper tonight too! Thanks Pat and Gina!
Fist of all let me say the the skin of the chicken was perhaps the finest I've ever eaten however, that was the best part. 475 was just too high of a temperature. My wife had to switch out the onions that were in the pan with new onions to avoid a terrible gravy. What was in the bottom of the pan burnt and smelled up the entire house.
I will try this recipe again but my wife and I will tweak it a bit. Butter AND oil in the pan so it doesn't burn and probably turn the temperature down to 400-425 rather than 475.
The meat had a good flavor but parts were a bit dry. Again, I think for our oven (gas range the temp was just too high. -

OMG!!!! My mouth waters when I see you cooking so many fab dishes on tv, so I decided to give this one a try. It took no time to prepare and was, hands down, THE BEST CHICKEN I HAVE EVER EATEN. I even used some of the butter in mashed potatos with garlic and they were also the bomb. Looks like I will be borrowing more of your recipes. Keep up the good work.
This recipe is CRAZY good! I love the original recipe, and have also played with it a little by using a little canola oil on the onions under the chicken, and by adding lemon zest and cayenne pepper to the herb butter. It comes out great every time! I love the Neely's they are awesome!

Liz and I just returned from a remarkable 2nd day in Tagaytay, Taal-Talisay, Batangas where we drove through breathtaking neighboring small fishery villages and markets.
We stopped to take video of a timeless filipino scene identical to a painting in my living room, Caribou in the rice paddies, wet from a quick bath, cranes rising from the fields in flight and the fishery farms floating in the water with bamboo stilted huts.
We ended the day at the phenomenally ethereal gardens in Calaruega, walking across the hanging bridge over a verdant breathtaking chasm, taking pictures of butterflies fluttering by amidst orchids by a beautiful mango grove. Razon's delicious halo-halo and then the scenic route home under the threat of heavy weather.
A perfect day.

Linux Terminal Server Project
The Open Source movement can help many people and institutions in Latin America by giving them access to technologies and knowledge that are otherwise restricted to developed countries. The lack of economic resources, proper infrastructure and technical education for the vast majority of the population are the main reasons why Latin America is far behind the first world in the use of computer technology, and they have prevented it from reaping the benefits of the information revolution the Internet has created. For example, less than 10% of the population of Colombia (estimated at 40 million) has ever logged on the Internet. This is not an exception, and most countries in the region suffer from similar problems. By using cost-effective, easy-to-implement, open-source technology and free software, these countries can catch up with the industrialized world.
There is an open-source project that could make a huge difference in Latin America: the Linux Terminal Server Project or LTSP (http://www.ltsp.org/). The appeal of this project is that it provides an easy way to set up low-cost, diskless workstations that boot from a network server running Linux. Today, many public and private Latin American institutions can hardly afford new computers or expensive software license fees. By using diskless workstations and Linux, they can save large amounts of money and become much more productive. This technology may also be used to teach children and workers the technical skills they require for the future.
In this article I will discuss the LTSP, describe my experiences with it in a small institution in Colombia and examine what is needed to implement and configure it. This article is merely informative, and it's not intended to be an LTSP HOWTO. Precise installation and configuration instructions can be found at the project's web site (http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/).
The goal of LTSP is to create a simplified way of setting up diskless workstations for Linux. By definition, a diskless workstation is a computer that boots after downloading its operating system from a server on the local area network. The LTSP tools accomplish this process by adding small kernel images, XFree86 servers and several other network tools to the server that will pass them to the workstation on request. The diskless workstation only needs a boot ROM for its specific network card in order to obtain the necessary software from the server. Making good use of the open-source software from the Etherboot Project (http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/), the LTSP has created its own boot ROMs and employs them with its software. Understanding that building (burning) a boot ROM for a network card may be a difficult task, a company close to the project, Diskless Workstations (http://www.DisklessWorkstations.com/), offers preconfigured ones for a small price at their web site. It's worth noticing that LTSP's boot ROMs can also be written to a floppy disk from which the diskless workstation can boot.
I started implementing diskless workstations based on the LTSP tools last year, when a small association of sugar cane industry workers needed a low-cost, easy-to-use computer and information management solution for their headquarters. The company, Productivos Ltda., had a very tight budget, and its office workers were not particularly familiar with computers and software. They had only one computer running Windows 95 with an unlicensed version of MS Office to handle letters, accounting and payroll. Most of the office work was still carried out manually. The new manager of the association wanted to buy five more computers to cope with all the work more efficiently. She also wanted a local area network so people could share files and printers and have access to the Internet. While looking on the Net for a low-cost solution to their problem, I came across the LTSP. The solution was at hand. Productivos Ltda. did not have to buy expensive, state-of-the-art computers or pay for costly software license fees. They were going to have an LTSP network and use StarOffice as their productivity tool.
A test of the LTSP software was conducted before the actual installation, using an old diskless Pentium computer and booting from a floppy disk. After a few tweaks that included the correct setting of the international keymaps under X, I decided this was the perfect solution for Productivos Ltda.
The association bought four new AMD K6 class diskless computers with 32MB RAM each (the lowest configuration available) to act as diskless workstations and a PII 350MHz with 128MB RAM to act as server/workstation. Even though this looks like a normal configuration for many small offices, Productivos' budget would have normally been able to afford fewer computers under other circumstances (i.e., a Windows network). Just in software license fees, Productivos Ltda. saved around $3,000 US. To avoid booting from floppy disks, the workstations needed bootable network cards. Four Linksys 10/100Mb bootable network cards were bought directly from DisklessWorkstations at $34 US each. A matching 8-port Linksys 10/100Mb hub was acquired from Outpost.com (http://outpost.com/). The required UTP Level 5 cabling was ready in less than a week. The hub and cabling both cost around $350 US.
Red Hat 6.2 (http://www.redhat.com/) was the distribution of choice for the server because it had been fully tested, and it's easy to configure and maintain. Since all the diskless workstations were going to run X and StarOffice 5.2 (http://www.sun.com/staroffice/) remotely, we decided to stay away from memory-intensive GUIs like GNOME or KDE that would reduce the server's performance. We chose to use a window manager with the basic functions only (start bar and menus) and selected IceWM (http://sourceforge.net/projects/icewm/), the lightest window manager around. Only a couple of entries from IceWM's main configuration files (menu, winoptions) were added or deleted to fit the configuration we wanted. Ten different user IDs were created on the server, each with its own StarOffice workstation installation. It's worth noting that StarOffice is a memory-intensive application, another reason why we chose a light window manager instead of GNOME or KDE. The installation of printers was quite simple. A replacement for Red Hat's print tool that adds an LTSP printer to the options is part of the project's software. Now the new LTSP network was ready. The entire installation and configuration was completed in just one day.
The test by fire came when the users logged on the network. They were enthusiastic about the fact that they now had computers to help them with their work. Nevertheless, they needed some training before actually using the computers. All the users went through a two-week in-house training course to familiarize themselves with the new tools available. The training included computer basics and the uses of StarOffice. At the end of the course they were all working without problems and using their diskless workstations for their (previously manual) tasks.
The association's LTSP network has been running smoothly for more than a year now, and they are even planning to add some more diskless workstations. Productivos Ltda. became much more efficient and, at the same time, gave its workers the chance to learn and explore new technologies. All of this would have been difficult without the help of the LTSP and the Open Source movement.

An excellent article which has helped to set a similar environment , making use of redundant machines, to help a small school.
Re: Linux Terminal Server Project
The last day Jorge told me about your article...
I read the article and thinks is excellent.
Re: Linux Terminal Server Project
I've started to investigate the LTSP, and I'm very impressed with it.
I work in corporate IT, but do volunteer work setting up IT infrastructure for community organisations. I often have access to older PC's - now I've got a(nother) use for them - setting up diskless workstations for these community organisations.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

The 2012 Building Peace by Building Homes participants recently returned from their trip in Jordan. Continue to catch up with their experiences by reading more! To find an amazing volunteer opportunity, search the AUA Directory of Recommended Organizations© today.
The idea that people would serve as volunteers is novel in Jordan. Most people there have never done it. To help normalize the notion of volunteering, Habitat for Humanity invites several Jordanian news outlets to film the Building Peace by Building Homes team at the worksite.

Print | E-mail to a friend YOUTH SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIPS
Extra care to soccer fields pays off
BARBOURSVILLE -- Organizers of the 2010 US Youth Soccer Region I Championships described this year's six-day tournament as a "well-oiled machine" after addressing issues that sprung up during last year's tournament.
Len Rogers, president of the West Virginia Soccer Association, said he has been hearing nothing but positive comments after five days of tournament play. Rogers said organizers and volunteers have been pitching in to make the event a success.
So far, Rogers said, their hard work has paid off.
"It's all running like a well-oiled machine," Rogers said. "We already had everything in place from last year, so all we had to do this year was perfect it."
Tournament organizers were criticized by players and coaches during last year's tournament because they felt the fields weren't befitting of such an important event. The playing fields in Barboursville and Huntington have been leveled out, seeded, reseeded and watered continuously since last year.
The result of months of seeding and watering, Rogers said, are playing fields that have satisfied the 4,500 soccer players. What's also satisfied the 16,000 soccer players, parents, coaches and referees visiting the Tri-State have been the sights of West Virginia.
Rogers said he's gotten calls from tournament participants who have chosen to extend their stays in the Tri-State even after getting bumped out of the tournament. Craig Warner, chairman of the tournament host committee, said lots of people have been asking about local attractions.
Last year was the first year the tournament was held in the Huntington area. It had an estimated economic impact of about $12 million.
Warner, who has a tent full of volunteers stationed at the fields, said visitors have asked about Beech Fork State Park in Lavalette and the Heritage Farm Museum and Village in Huntington. While some spent their time visiting downtown Huntington shops and stores at the Huntington Mall in Barboursville, other visitors wanted some physical activity.
This year, Warner said, they are directing people to local hiking trails and bicycle paths. A number of visitors, Warner said, brought bicycles and rode around the Barboursville Soccer Complex at Barboursville City Park.
When they weren't touring the Tri-State's local attractions, Warner and Rogers said tournament-goers were looking for places to eat. Warner said volunteers guided visitors to restaurants based on the location of where they were staying. Popular destinations included Rocco's Ristorante in Ceredo and Tascali's Decades Pasta & Grill in Barboursville.
"The visitors have been soaking up the local sites," Warner said. "We've only heard positive comments from visitors."
While the tournament has brought plenty of money into the local economy, the one activity that everyone has been asking about was whitewater rafting. Warner and Rogers said tournament-goers planned trips to go rafting either during or after the tournament was over. Warner said other visitors were asking about activities in other West Virginia towns like Beckley and Morgantown.
"It seems that they're are in love with West Virginia and the folks in West Virginia," Warner said.

UN chief urges reforms in Burma visit
UN chief Ban Ki-moon urged Burmese president Thein Sein to continue democratic reforms on Monday, ahead of talks with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose party has agreed to end a parliamentary boycott and pledge to protect the constitution.
By News Wires (text)
REUTERS - The party of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi agreed on Monday to end a boycott of parliament and swear an oath to protect the constitution, said party officials, apparently ending a dispute with the government.
Officials in her National League for Democracy party said they could attend from Wednesday.
"As a gesture of respect to the desires of the people and in consideration of the requests made by lawmakers from democratic parties and independent lawmakers, we have decided to attend the parliament," Suu Kyi told reporters after a meeting of party leaders.
"We will go there as soon as possible and take the oath and attend the parliament," she added.
Suu Kyi is to meet U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Yangon on Tuesday, which is also a public holiday. Lawmakers from her NLD party will therefore travel to the capital, Naypyitaw, for the session on Wednesday, officials said.
The NLD had wanted to replace the words "safeguard the constitution" with "respect the constitution" in the oath sworn by new members of parliament.

Ban Ki-moon's Advice To Myanmar
by Khagaraj Sommu (not verified) - 30/04/2012 - 17:30
Is it not so strange that Mr.Ban Ki-moon has no such advice to the repressive reimes in the Arab League,which he supports in the fight between the repressive Syrian government and the Sunni rebels of the country ?Is it any wonder then that the Syrian government is accusing him of partiality ?He has also not said anything on the massacre of Christians in Nigeria.His global agenda is thus so uncomfortably similar to that of the NATO countries.

Julie has gone on to add a central flower and little daisy-like flowers in the corners to finish hers, but at the moment I don't mind my version looking a little spare...the negative space in the centre is rather appealing. I'll wait and see if some cherries are in order later on when the remaining blocks are completed.
The wreath block above, still under construction, is from The Eggleston Bedcover (1847) detailed in For Purpose and Pleasure by Sandi Fox - my copy is very well thumbed, having received it in 2001 as a gift from my old quilt guild - it is a constant source of inspiration and delight.
My only complaint is Ms Fox did not photograph the entire bedcover, but only teased her readers with detailed shots of 12 of the blocks....many of which are on my list to reproduce ( as is much of the book's contents!)
The charming thing about many quilts featured in the book are the inscriptions. Many of the Eggleston blocks have delightful poems and sentiments inked or cross-stitched...My mind is pondering how to incorporate this notion somehow into my blocks.
The original Egglestone wreath block.
The main bias strip is made quickly by hand, simply finger folding a 1" strip 1/3 and 1/3 and basting together (no ironing!) but I couldn't make that width bend sufficiently for the innermost winding stems.A perfect opportunity to test drive this nifty little gizmo... a 1/4" bias maker.
What a great little tool! 1/2" bias strip goes in one end and 1/4" bias stems come out the other...a little pressing and it stays as bendy as can be. By accident I purchased the version where you can add fusible tape but I doubt I'll ever use that. I love it so much I've ordered the next 2 sizes (9mm-3/8" and 12mm-1/2").
With these two blocks complete there are only 4 more to make to complete the main quilt top. Then it's on to designing the border!
It's Friday here in Sydney - a most glorious late winter morning, Spring is in the sir with Jasmine flowering madly on my boundary fence and a few early cherry blossoms starting to open. I have a day off today and am quilting with friends tomorrow so must away to do some preparation.
Hope your weekend includes some stitching!

Bishop Search: Election Site Announced as Nominations are Processed
Progress is accelerating in the search for the 13th bishop of Rhode Island.
The Transition Committee has arranged to hold the special Diocesan Convention to elect the next bishop at St. Luke's, East Greenwich, on Saturday, June 2, 2012. Registration for the convention will begin at 8 a.m., followed by Eucharist at 9 a.m. Balloting will take place in the church beginning at 10:30 a.m. If necessary, additional ballots will follow until a candidate achieves the required majorities in both the lay and clerical orders. Bishop Wolf convenes and chairs the electing convention. More details will be communicated closer to the event.
Cathy Iacobucci, chair of the Transition Committee, says the committee also is making good progress in selecting a site for the ordination service for the 13th Bishop of Rhode Island, which will take place Nov. 17, 2012.
While the Transition Committee is finalizing site details, the Search & Nomination Committee is preparing to begin considering potential candidates for bishop.
"I am very encouraged by the quality and quantity of nominations," says Lora MacFall, chair of the Search & Nomination Committee. "We received more than 40 nominations, from all over the country — including our diocese. We don't know if all of those individuals will complete the application process and ultimately be considered by the committee, but so far it appears to be a very strong group. We have received a diverse group of names — men and women, from many locations, with various kinds of experience, etc. Now we await their materials and continue to pray that we discern what God has in mind for our diocese."
Once the committee received a nomination, that triggered an e-mail response confirming receipt and requesting that the individual who was nominated complete and return several specific items:
- Application Form, with complete contact information and answers to four short-essay questions developed by the committee.
- Up-to-date curriculum vitae or resume.
- Names and contact information for three references: one member of the clergy of the Episcopal Church, one lay member of the Episcopal Church and any other individual who is not a spouse, relative, under the nominee's direct supervision or nominator. The committee will contact those references and ask for specific comments.
- Up-to-date Office of Transition Ministry (OTM) form — multipage form from the national church that details an individual's work history, compensation expectations, additional reference information and answers to nine short-essay questions.
- Signed Consent and Authorization form to confirm that individual's interest and to obtain consents and releases concerning actions or events that may develop during the nomination and election process.
- A 500-word autobiographical statement.

Jenson Button demonstrates that McLaren are focused on the racing at Monza
Jenson Button believes that McLaren proved morale is high within the team after setting the pace in practice for tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix.
Despite the media attention focused on McLaren, in particular on team-mate Lewis Hamilton, the Woking-based marque conjured a one -two in the second 90-minute session.
Hamilton, in the spotlight as he mulls over whether to stay with McLaren or end his 14-year association with the team and instead join Mercedes, was quickest with a lap of one minute 25.290secs.
Button, who finished second fastest in both sessions, was just 0.038secs adrift as he looks to build on his victory in Belgium five days ago.

But even the 32-year-old cannot avoid being asked questions regarding Hamilton, seemingly putting all in McLaren under pressure.
However, Button, runner-up in the last three races at Monza, said: "The morale in the team is good, we just want to race. I've shown whatever is going on off the circuit, it doesn't matter, you have to focus on the job in hand.
"The bit we love, the bit for us that is most important is driving the car. It's always going to be number one."
Given the furore surrounding Hamilton, he at least concedes the constant hype surrounding his future is on his mind.
Asked whether all the questions were a distraction, Hamilton said: "I don't think so. I try my hardest to let other people worry about that.
"Of course, every now and again it pops into your mind, but you have to keep your eye on the ball, and that's the most important thing at the moment."
For Hamilton, it is all about letting his driving do the talking, especially after becoming embroiled in a four-car pile-up at the first corner at Spa six days ago, an incident that has severely hampered his title chances.
Assessing his prospects for the weekend to come, Hamilton said: "We do have a great car. The guys have done a fantastic job back at the factory to tune the set-up and aerodynamic package we have this weekend.
"It's still very close between ourselves, Ferrari, Mercedes and Lotus, but we're not in a bad position.
"We've still got some work to do to try to improve and find more time, particularly on our long runs."
Button, 63 points adrift of championship leader Fernando Alonso and 16 behind Hamilton, feels it will be too close to call in qualifying today.
With the top eight cars in second practice separated by just over a quarter of a second, Button said: "It's going to be very competitive as there's not one stand-alone team. It's not going to be an easy qualifying session or race because there are a lot of cars out there with good consistency."
Alonso, despite suffering a gearbox issue in the morning, was in close attendance on his team's home turf as he was 0.058secs down on Hamilton, with team-mate Felipe Massa fourth. Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, Kimi Raikkonen for Lotus and Force India duo Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg completed the quick top eight.
History was made in the morning session when Ma Qing Hua became the first driver from China to take part in a F1 weekend, the 26 -year-old HRT driver describing it as "an extraordinary experience".

Create a JavaScript calculator for the Web in minutes!
SpreadsheetConverter takes your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and creates an interactive web page with self-contained JavaScript in minutes. No plug-ins needed.
Your customer wants a simple calculator for their website. In theory it is easy to program JavaScript, however handling all possible errors, formatting the data and implementing the calculation is rather tedious. A better solution is to create the entire calculator with Excel, and convert it to Javascript using SpreadsheetConverter.
You create the calculator in Excel in no time. The calculator will be better tested, since thousands of users already have tested our calculation engine. You get a fast, interactive calculator with all the features that customers expect.
See examples of what SpreadsheetConverter can do for you.
Free offer: Send us a spreadsheet and we'll send it back as a web page.
Javascript calculators boost sales
A Javascript calculator is also valuable on websites without products. If you can use your fantasy to develop a useful calculator, visitors will return to your site, and spread the word about your site.
Your web forms can have embedded calculations and validations. The entered data is collected and made available to you. Typical examples are:
- Expense reports: let the employees fill in expense reports online from anywhere in the world. Sums are updated directly when entered, just as they are in Excel.
- Surveys like course evaluation
- Order forms: Using SpreadsheetConverter is the fastest way to publish an order form on the web. Totals, sales tax, shipping is not problem.
- Reservation forms
- Employment application: Web forms helps you get more structured answers.
Example: Simple home loan calculator with slider and live chart
See our entire Examples collection converted to HTML/Javascript.
Features and benefits
SpreadsheetConverter is the perfect tool for creating calculating web forms and web pages that attract attention.
- Instantaneous response: All calculations and validations are done immediately when the user enters new data. Everything is done in the browser. No communication with the web server.
- Everything is live and interacting with your visitors: The calculator or form updates dynamically when values are changed. Even the charts are live! Use calendars to select dates, stars to set ratings and sliders to vary data in real-time. Create forms with dropdown menus, checkboxes, radio buttons, large text fields, list boxes in a breeze. Design step-by-step wizards for complex forms.
- It looks so good on the web: Normally, it takes a lot of time to make a web page look this well-designed. With Excel you just format the page the way you like. SpreadsheetConverter creates a web page that looks the same: borders, colors, fonts, checkboxes, dropdown lists etc work as they should, and numbers are formatted on the fly with decimals, thousand separators and currency symbols. Play with new layouts inside Excel before you convert them to web format, which saves lots of time (besides being lots of fun).
- Automatic form-to-Inbox delivery: When users submit completed forms, SpreadsheetConverter delivers them directly to your e-mail Inbox. For a small fee, forms can be saved in a database for later retrieval, thanks to a hosted service that requires no local installation or server.
- It's so easy to change: Business rules frequently change, e.g. new prices, new discount options, new regulations etc. With hand-crafted web pages it's hard to keep up with the frequent changes. With SpreadsheetConverter, you just change the spreadsheet, and regenerate the web page.
- No debugging: No HTML or JavaScript knowledge is needed. SpreadsheetConverter generates bug-free HTML and JavaScript directly from the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
- Scalable: Once the web page is downloaded into the visitor's web browser, no resources are needed on the web server. So if your current website can handle 1,000 simultaneous visitors, a calculator you create with SpreadsheetConverter can be used by 1,000 simultaneous visitors.
- There are no errors: The calculator doesn't need any testing, since thousands of users already have tested our calculation engine.
- It's cost-effective: You need the SpreadsheetConverter program only when you perform the actual conversion from spreadsheet to web page format. You need one license for each PC on which you install the program to perform such conversions.
- Excel isn't needed: Once the web page is created, Excel is not required. Your web server doesn't need Excel, and your users don't need Excel. Even if Excel is all around, not all employees have it, and private persons seldom have it.
- It's free to distribute: With the Professional Edition, you can make the calculator part of a product that you sell.
- You take no risk: Every purchase comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and six months of free e-mail support.
SpreadsheetConverter is a unique product
Only SpreadsheetConverter HTML works on all web servers, since we do the calculations using JavaScript. JavaScript is always supported.
Only SpreadsheetConverter has royalty-free distribution. No extra per-server fees.
Fast calculation with prefabricated components
Creating a calculating web page like an expense report or order form online can be very difficult. Programming, testing and debugging takes a lot of time even for a specialist. Most online calculators do all their calculation on the web server, which can make the web page slow because of all the network communication with the server.
With SpreadsheetConverter, all your spreadsheet formulas are automatically converted into program code by SpreadsheetConverter, using prefabricated components that have been meticulously tested. The conversion to web format retains the interactivity that is typical of a spreadsheet, and the entire visual layout is carried over to the web page.
SpreadsheetConverter can also generate HTML5 web applications for iPhone and Android smartphones. This makes it easy to collect data with mobile devices, select or configure products or do spreadsheet calculations in a smartphone.
For developers, there are special server products that also can generate program code for ASP.NET and classic ASP web servers. This makes it much easier to add back-end integration, for example for saving and restoring values to a database. Communication with the server is minimal and the web calculator updates itself quietly in the background while the user is busy entering data into another cell.
The new version 6 provides a new user interface that lets you work faster and more reliably. Power users move ahead up to four times faster, while new users get much more help and overview. You can use two or more flavors of the product simultaneously, and publish your results directly on the Internet on a free web server.
Superior support
We guarantee the best support. 6 months of e-mail support is included in the price for all products. We promise answers by the next business day, but within an hour is our goal.
SpreadsheetConverter is a mature product. SpreadsheetConverter has been for sale since 2002. We constantly add new value to the product. Updates ae free within the same major version, so if you buy any version 5 product, all 5.x updates are free. If we release a new major version within six months from your purchase, the upgrade to the new version will not cost you anything.
Low cost, no risk
The Standard edition of SpreadsheetConverter to HTML costs $127. The Professional Edition lets you create web pages for clients, supports more functions and more chart types, and costs $247.
If your personnel costs are $70/hour, using SpreadsheetConverter once for a single spreadsheet is enough to motivate the purchase.
SpreadsheetConverter is easy to use. You will be creating your first web form within minutes. No time-consuming training is necessary.

New NeverDead Screenshots
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on January 12, 2012 AT 06:09am
Posted on January 12, 2012 AT 06:09am
THE BUZZ: Konami has released a new batch of screenshots from their upcoming first person shooter, NeverDead.
The game features a hero who can detach his own limbs and use them as weapons. "Losing a limb is a mere inconvenience and Bryce's physical skills allow a wealth of ways to take out the enemy – from close-range combat, to throwing limbs into clusters of monsters and shooting them remotely," says Shinta Nojiri, creator of NeverDead. "Even when all limbs have been removed, players can roll around as a head."
EGM's TAKE: The ability to throw your own head around is a winner whichever way you look at it.

AMD Athlon 64 arrives, finally!
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Today we finally received our AMD Athlon 64 CPU, and it didn't come from the folks at AMD. It came from a friendly and obliging motherboard company from Taiwan who we deal closely with. We had to scout high and low for a company who was willing to lend us the CPU for our initial review of the product and following motherboard and heatsinks reviews of products based around AMD's 64-bit desktop platform.
With no thanks to the people at AMD, we will have lots of Athlon 64 related content for you over the following 2 or 3 weeks - Stay tuned!

A Girl Fights To Be Called By Her Name In Iceland, Suing Government
Originally published on Fri January 4, 2013 8:31 pm
For 15 years, an Icelandic teenager has been called her given name, Blaer Bjarkardottir, by everyone except government employees and other officials. That's because "Blaer" (reportedly Icelandic for "light breeze") isn't on a list of government-approved names for girls.
So, in school and at the bank, she is often addressed as "stulka" — "girl" — before she explains the situation.
Blaer, 15, is now suing the government with the help of her mother, Bjork Eidsdottir, who tells the AP that the name Blaer has been accepted by the Icelandic Naming Committee before, despite not being one of a reported 1,853 female names that are officially allowed.
"I had no idea that the name wasn't on the list, the famous list of names that you can choose from," Eidsdottir tells the AP.
The problem with "Blaer" seems to be two-fold: It's on a list of approved boys' names, and it takes a masculine article in the Icelandic language.
As Iceland Review reports, the review board has refused to budge, "even though Nobel Prize winning author Halldór Laxness [uses] it for a female character in one of his novels, Brekkukotsannáll (The Fish Can Sing) in 1957."
With her mother's help, Blaer is now suing Iceland's interior minister, asking that the ruling against "Blaer" be set aside.
Iceland isn't alone in requiring a review of babies' names — in 2006, for example, an Italian couple was forbidden to name their son "Friday" (even though their son was born on a Sunday).
Some countries, such as France, have somewhat relaxed once-strict policies that required only government-approved names (many of which either appear in the Bible or are culturally entrenched).
Many nations still require baby names to indicate gender (Germany) or to be easily read by a computer scanner (China), as CNN reported in 2010.
And it remains common for many governments to give at least a cursory review, to ensure that the parents aren't potentially sabotaging their child by choosing a profane or demeaning name, or one that might otherwise be an unfair burden to the child.

The Perry County Central Lady Commodores opened their 2012 softball season on Thursday with a game against the Pike County Central Lady Hawks. The Lady Commodores fell behind early, but rallied to take the lead. They then had to hold off a late rally to collect the 11-6 win.
The Lady Commodores struggled in the top of the first inning with their defense, allowing the Lady Hawks to plate three runs. However, in the bottom of the frame, Perry Central was able to one-better Pike Central, putting four runs across the dish.
Perry Central went on to score three more runs in the second inning, and one in the third to take the 8-3 lead at the midway point. The Lady Commodores tacked on three more runs in the sixth inning, bringing the tally to 11-3.
The Lady Hawks would not go away easy in the end. Pike Central would start a rally in the final inning, forcing Perry Central's defense to buckle down. The Lady Hawks scored three runs in the frame, and threatened more before the Lady Commodores could stop the bleeding. Perry Central went on to win the game by the final count of 11-6. Shelby Sheffield went 4 of 4 at the plate and had 12 strikeouts on the mound to lead the way.
Perry Central stats: Morgan Combs 1 hit and 1 run, Whitney Back 2 hits, 2 runs and 2 RBI, Melia Kemper 3 hits, 3 runs and 1 RBI, Hannah Johnson 2 hits and 1 run, Shaelyn Eversole 3 hits, 2 runs and 2 RBI, Shelby Sheffield 4 hits, 2 runs and 2 RBI, and Pam Sebastian 2 hits. Pitching: Shelby Sheffield: 7 innings, 6 runs, 5 hits, 4 walks and 12 strikeouts.

HUDDINGE, Sweden, May 8, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- As previously announced, Tripep AB (publ) has made a bid for the vaccine development company Isconova AB in Uppsala. The Board of Directors and owners of 90% of the shares in Isconova have recommended that this bid be accepted. It is always difficult to value a listed company such as Tripep correctly in relation to an unlisted company such as Isconova, particularly given the prevailing stock market climate, and the following transaction has therefore been negotiated. Payment from Tripep to Isconova's owners will take the form of 2 million shares in Tripep AB. Isconova will then become a wholly owned subsidiary of Tripep. Isconova's owners will also be paid 75% of the subsidiary Isconova's net profit after the repayment of any shareholders' contributions made by the parent company. Tripep in turn has a time-limited option to acquire Isconova's right to 75% of the profit in exchange for a supplementary payment of SEK 50 million, made either in cash or in the form of Tripep shares valued at the share price applying on the relevant date.

The problem with books on Wagner is that there are so many of them. I agree that Magee's is an excellent introduction. I also like 'Wagner: a case history' by Martin van Amerongen (Dent, 1983). I'd avoid Robert Donnington's 'Wagner's "Ring" and its symbols' (Faber, 2nd ed. 1969). A copy of that has sat mostly untouched on my bookshelves for over forty years, it is one of the most impenetratbly obscure analyses I've ever come across: and these days, is Jung of more than historic interest? Is it still possible to find a Jungian, let alone find anyone to interpret what he says? Well, maybe, but I dont think I'll bother.
Another that I read recently and enjoyed is 'The Wagner clan' by Jonathan Carr (Faber and Faber 2007). Wagner's descendants and their domination of Bayreuth, right up to the present day.
And apologies for repeating myself, I think I've posted the following observation before, probably also in a thread on Wagner. The discussion of Wagner the man and Wagner the artist reminds me of George Orwell's comments on Salvador Dali in his essay 'Benefit of Clergy: Some Notes on Salvador Dali'. Orwell was troubled by the fact that Dali was clearly a skilled and talented artist, and, on the basis of a carefully cultivated public persona, a disgusting person. Orwell noted that the world was split between those who felt that because he was a fine artist he must be allowed objectionable behaviour, and those who felt that because he was an obnoxious person, he could not be a great artist. He says:
"One ought to be able to hold in one's head simultaneously the two facts that Dali is a good draughtsman and a disgusting human being. The one does not invalidate or, in a sense, affect the other."
I think he might have been happy to have that analysis applied to Wagner too.
