REMOTE ACCESS Accessing the DVR from a computer attached to the same router: If you are only going to access the DVR from a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR you only need to setup the information in the NETWORK settings using either the DHCP option or assigning a static IP following the instructions below. Since you are just going from one location to another on the same network port forwarding and knowing the public IP address are not necessary. You would just access the DVR by entering the IP address of the DVR from the NETWORK setup into the Internet Explorer browser window. After you setup the NETWORK settings using DHCP or Static IP instructions skip down to the section: To access the DVR through Internet Explorer. There are 4 ways you can setup the DVR to be accessed remotely; DHCP, Static IP, PPPOE, and DDNS. DHCP: If your router is setup for DHCP, and most of them are by default, you can have the router assign an IP address to the DVR. To do this you push the MENU key on the DVR to get to the system menu (Figure 3.5.2), then select the ADVANCED option then the NETWORK option Figure 3.5.35. Push the ENTER key to display the NETWORK SETUP screen shown in Figure 3.5.36. Select DHCP from the drop down box and then select the Apply button so the router can find it and assign it an IP address. After the router has assigned the DVR an IP address it is a good idea to write down this address and then select Static from the drop down box and enter this address as a static address so it will not change if you shutdown DVR or the router. This is the IP address you will forward port 80 to on the router so you can access the DVR from remote computers. 34 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 Figure 3.5.35 Figure 3.5.36 UPNP UPnP Forum is an industry initiative designed to enable simple and robust connectivity among consumer electronics, intelligent appliances and mobile devices from many different vendors. As a group, we are dedicated to making the connected home and lifestyle mainstream experiences for consumers - and great opportunities for the industry. NOTE: Your Router needs to support UPNP function. To configure UPNP settings: 1) Enable the UPNP function in your Router. 2) Under DVR GUI,Open the MAIN MENU and click ADVANCE. 3) From the Advanced Setup menu, click NETWORK. 4) Under UPNP, select OPEN. 5) Click APPLY to save your settings and then click OK in the confirmation window. 6) Using a remote PC, open Internet Explorer. 7) In the address bar, enter your Router WAN IP address immediately followed by :WEB PORT (no spaces). http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX(Router WAN IP):XXX(WEB PORT) 8) Enter your system ADMIN password and select INTERNET. NOTE: If you have not enabled passwords on the system, leave the password field blank. 9) Click LOGIN. Static IP You will need to setup the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of the router that you attach the DVR to. To get the router settings you would go to the run option on a computer attached to the same router as the DVR and type cmd and hit OK to bring up a command prompt (Figure 3.5.37), then type ipconfig at the prompt (RED arrow on Figure 3.5.37) to access the router settings. Write down the gateway and subnet mask numbers (GREEN arrows on (Figure 3.5.37) so you can copy them into the network settings on the DVR (GREEN boxes on Figure 3.5.38). Push the MENU key on the DVR to get to the System menu, then the Advanced option, and then the Network option to display the NETWORK screen shown in Figure 3.5.38. 35 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 Figure 3.5.37 Figure 3.5.38 For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a fourth set of numbers that is different then any other device attached to the same router. If the IP address of your computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Figure 3.5.37) is a single or two digit number you should be ok with any three digit number, if the computer IP address ends with a number in the 100s then you should go with a 200 number (ORANGE box in Figure 3.5.38). PPPOE: If you are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem instead of a router you will need to select the PPPOE option in the NETWORK options. To do this you push the MENU key on the DVR to get to the system menu, then select the ADVANCED option and then the NETWORK option (Figure 3.5.35) and click on the NETWORK icon to display the NETWORK screen shown in Figure 3.5.39. Then select PPPOE from the drop down box (GREEN box in Figure 3.5.39) and then select the OK button. You will need to contact your internet service provider to get the User name and Password you need to enter into the spaces under the PPPOE check box. Figure 3.5.39 DDNS: You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic address can change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it changes you need to go to a website such as www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR to find out what the new IP address is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from your service provider so that you do not have to be concerned with the address changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP address. The DVR is setup to accept account information from myq-see.com and www.dyndns.com. To access the DVR through a dynamic domain name you push the MENU key on the DVR to get to the system menu (Figure 3.5.2), then select the ADVANCED option, then click on the NETWORK option (Figure 3.5.35) to display the NETWORK screen shown in Figure 3.5.39. Select the DDNS SETTINGS option (PURPLE box in Figure 3.5.39) and then hit the APPLY option. This will bring up a screen (Figure 3.5.40) where you can enter the domain name you registered with the domain name service and the user name and 36 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 password that they assigned you. You will then be able to access the DVR remotely by entering the domain name into a browser window on a remote computer. Figure 3.5.40 To configure DDNS settings: 1) From the Network Setup menu, enter Primary or Secondary DNS from the WAN settings of your router in the MANUAL DNS field (Figure 3.5.39). 2) Click DDNS SETTINGS. 3) Under DDNS, select ON. 4) Under SERVICE select dyndns or myq-see. 5) Under HOST NAME, enter your DDNS domain. For example, if your domain name is firstname.lastname@example.com, you need to enter firstname.lastname@example.com, in the text field. 6) Enter your DDNS user name and password in the respective fields. 7) Click APPLY. Click CLOSE in the confirmation window. 8) Click EXIT. The system will prompt you that it must restart. Click CLOSE. Setting up MYQ-SEE DDNS: Before you setup DDNS you must first set up Port Forwarding as directed in Section 18.1 PORT FORWARDING. Once you have enabled Port Forwarding, you can configure your DDNS information by following these steps: a. Using a computer that is connected to the same network as your Q-See DVR, use your IE Browser to go to http://myq-see.com. b. Click on the New User? Link at the bottom of your page (http://myq-see.com/reg.asp). c. Complete the registration process by following the on-screen directions and click the [Submit] button at the bottom of your screen (Figure 3.5.41). 37 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 Figure 3.5.41 d. The next screen will ask you to create a domain name. Domain names must start with an (a-z) or (0-9) and cannot contain a hyphen. Once you choose your domain name, click on the [Request Domain] button. This will generate a confirmation screen which tells you if your Domain name is available and list an IP address (Figure 3.5.42). Verify that this is your current IP Address by going to www.myipaddress.com and checking that it is the same address listed in your confirmation screen (Figure 3.5.42). Figure 3.5.42 e. Once you have completed steps a-d, go to the DVR and go to Advanced→ Network (Figure 3.5.43). 38 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 Figure 3.5.43 f. Clicking on Network will generate a Network settings dialog box as illustrated in Figure3.5.44. Checking the [DDNS] box (RED box in Figure 3.5.44) will display a DDNS setting dialog box as illustrated in Figure 3.5.45. Figure 3.5.44 g. Enter the User Name, Password and Domain Name that you registered for through http://myq-see.com. Click the [APPLY] button at the bottom of the screen and then the [EXIT] button. This should return you to the Network Setup menu. h. Click the [APPLY] button and then the [EXIT] button at the bottom of the Network Setup Screen and your DDNS setup is complete. Figure 3.5.45 DDNS: Select the ON option from the drop down menu. Service: Select myq-see from the drop down menu. Host Name: Enter the account name you setup on the myq-see site. Username: The email address you entered on the myq-see site. Password: Enter the password you setup on the myq-see site. 39 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION 18.1 Model #: QS434 PORT FORWARDING To access the DVR from a remote computer over the internet you would then need to forward port 80 on the router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. You can get instructions on how to do this for most popular routers by going to the www.portforward.com website. On this website click on the orange "Routers" link in the second paragraph (RED box in Figure 3.5.46), which will open a list of router manufactures, then find the brand and model of your router on the list and click on the link. On the next page that opens click on the orange "Default Guide" link (BLUE box in Figure 3.5.47), this will take you to the port forwarding instructions for your router. Figure 3.5.46 Figure 3.5.47 When you access the DVR from a remote computer you also need to use a different address in the Internet Explorer browser window. Instead of entering the IP address of the DVR you need to enter the public IP address of the router the DVR is attached to. You can get this address by going to www.myipaddress.com from a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR. This website will display the box in Figure 3.5.48 below that shows the IP address you need to use. It will be in the space where the below example shows 22.214.171.124. Figure 3.5.48 40 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 To access the DVR through Internet Explorer: once you have setup the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of your router and forwarded the ports 80 and 9000 you need to modify your browser controls. You need to allow Pop-ups. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option (RED box in Figure 3.5.49), then select the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker" (BLUE arrows in Figure 3.5.49). You will also need to enable Active X controls. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option, then "Internet Options"(GREEN arrow in Figure 3.5.49), In the window that opens (Figure 3.5.50) Go to "Security" (RED box in Figure 3.5.50), then click the "Custom Level" button (GREEN box in Figure 3.5.50), then click on OK (BLUE arrow in Figure 3.5.50). This will open the page shown in Figure 3.5.51. On this page scroll down to the ActiveX Controls and Plug Ins and make sure they are all set to either prompt (RED arrows) or enabled (BLUE arrows). Figure 3.5.49 Figure 3.5.50 Figure 3.5.51 41 | P a g e DEVICE OPERATION Model #: QS434 To connect to the DVR from the remote computer you would then open an Internet Explorer browser window and enter the internet IP of your router that you got by going to www.myipaddress.com. NOTICE: If you cannot use HTTP port 80 because it is being used by another program, or it is being blocked by your service provider, you can use another port in the same range. If you do so then you need to forward the IP address of the router to the other port, change the port in the DVR NETWORK settings and you need to add the port number after the IP address. For example, if you set the HTTP port as 82, you need to enter the IP address as 192.168.0.25:82. If you get a error message that says the program cannot load because the publisher is unknown or the program is unsigned, go to internet explorer, tools, internet options, then go to the "Advanced" tab (RED box in Figure 3.5.52), this will open the window in Figure 3.5.53, scroll down to "Security", and select the options to "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid", and "Allow Active Content to Run Files on My Computer" (RED box in Figure 3.5.53) Figure 3.5.52 Figure 3.5.53 NOTICE: If you still have problems connecting remotely: Anti-virus programs could also block the ActiveX control, if you still have a problem try closing them. Other plug-ins could also block it. Close firewalls in Windows and in the router if applicable. If you have a router plugged into another router, for example, if you have the DVR attached to a router which is attached to DSL or Cable router, you may need to forward port 80 (or whatever port you are using) on the DSL or Cable router to the IP address of the router that the DVR is attached to, so that router can then forward the port to the DVR. Please refer to the PORT FORWARDING section above on how to get instructions on how to forward the port on the other router. 42 | P a g e REMOTE SURVEILLANCE SOFTWARE Model #: QS434 4.

I had my fun watching my undoing on the tv. When I woke up no one spoke of how long I'd been sleeping. The weather where I wenttobedwhereIwasledbycertainawkward strange conditions alwaysalwaysalways came in rain of pens with probing dispositions. Making money on the radio, whatyoubeenselling we don't want to know. Machinations of the hitparade. Uneasy living in the bed we made. The sound of fashion comes in stereo, holding hands with Mr. Meccano Meccano! Sometime later on we pushed the fader towards translation. The language from the doctor's mouth still got lost on all the patients. The bottom line was lookingsomuchfinerfinerfingerfromthebottom of the deep end. It depends on how much money it can take to buy air for the breathing. Hidden camera catches shoplifter in act of trading red trousers for gray to match his suit to get a job to get employed. If all the color's bad what will we wear when all the color's bad?

Diseases of the cherry laurel shrub (Prunus laurocerasus), also referred to as English laurel, generally consist of fungal infections and illness due to incorrect watering. Cherry laurels thrive in moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade; maintain your cherry laurel plant to keep it vigorous and less susceptible to disease.
Root Rot
Since cherry laurel shrubs prefer well-drained soil, planting them in sites that are excessively wet leaves them vulnerable to root rot. Caused by a fungus called Phytopthora cinnamomi, the infection affects the root systems of plants, causing rot and decay of plant tissue and the destruction of roots. Nutrients and water run from roots to leaves, so the normal flow of natural life-support to the shrub ends, leading to diminished health and eventual death of the cherry laurel. For control, choose resistant plant varieties, or apply the fungicide methyl bromide (contact a professional) for existing infection. The fungicides fosetyl-Al or metalaxyl are appropriate for home use but may only decrease fungus without curing the disease, explains the NC State University Cooperative Extension Service.
Shot Hole
Shot hole is a disease affecting cherry laurels that is both bacterial and fungal in nature. This infection is created by the bacterium Xanthomonas prunii and the fungus Blumeriella gaapi or Cercospora sp. This infectious disease causes symptoms that begin as red or purple spots on the surface of leaves; the spots dry out and the tissue disintegrates, leaving holes that appear to have been created by a shotgun. As more holes develop, their borders meet, and more expansive holes form until leaves completely drop and the laurel is severely ill. Overhead watering may promote greater vulnerability to infection. For control, remove and destroy infected plant parts that have fallen from the plant. Also, apply a fungicide with the active ingredient mancozeb as soon as symptoms appear, as recommended by the Cobb County Extension Service.
Botryosphaeria Infection
Botryosphaeria infection attacks stressed plants, including cherry laurel shrubs. This infectious fungus causes limb dieback on cherry laurels; though the plant may appear to be healthy, manifestation of these symptoms is a sign that the shrub is actually ill. These fungi are airborne, sporadic spreaders that attack by entering through any type of wound, including cracks, and through the plant's natural pores. Always keep your pruning tools clean, as unclean tools are a leading cause of disease transfer, explains the Virginia Cooperative Extension. For control, keep your laurel vigorous through proper care, as fungicides are ineffective for this particular disease.

At KS Farm, we strive to live ethically while providing quality food for others who are seeking it. We began looking for an alternative to factory farmed and processed food prior to the birth of our children in 2007. Some friends introduced us to the Weston A. Price Foundation and William Albrecht's principles of soil fertility. We milk cows and sheep, have laying hens, ducks, and grow or raise as much of our own food as possible. We are excited and deeply inspired by the possibilities that exist around Regenerative Agriculture, Holistic Management, and Permaculture Design; we have dedicated considerable time and expense toward furthering our knowledge and capabilities, and expect to do so long into the future.
KS Farm sells home-raised Natural Grass-Finished Welsh Black Beef to discerning customers who want to know where their food comes from and how it was raised.
We use absolutely no Hormones, Chemicals, Antibiotics, Growth Stimulants, GMO Feed, or Vaccines. Our pastures are completely free of chemical pesticides, and fertilizer.
We raise Welsh Black Cattle, and are thrilled with their quiet, sensible dispositions, and the exceptional quality of beef they produce. We have Welsh Black and WB/Angus breeding stock and replacement heifers, and low-birthweight, Welsh Black bulls available from our forage-based program. We added East Friesian Dairy sheep and commercial Dorset sheep in 2011. Our low-input pasture-based ewe flock has grown enormously and presently sits at about 300 head. We are developing an Ile de France based flock that has some East Friesian influence for increased prolificacy and mothering ability.
Our animal handling and horse training is based on humane, non-resistance methods which recognize that each animal is a unique individual with thoughts, feelings, and opinions that need to be acknowledged and validated. Our training/handling techniques seek to bring out an animal's willingness, innate intelligence, and their desire to cooperate with humans and each other.
"The best food we can grow...for our family and yours."

I also listened to audiobooks while gardening. From mobsters to escorts, my reading choices were anything but innocent and sweet.
Dark, sexy and dangerous... McAvoy's Ruthless People series is a decadent treat in audiobook.
To the outside world, they look like American royalty, giving to charities, feeding the homeless, and rebuilding the city. But behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance between two bosses, cultures, and hearts. Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago and follows the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan - rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam believes he's getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need...the complete opposite of Melody. She knows exactly what type of man he is and would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life building. The mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for them, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down those who stand in their way.
Warning: This book contains adult language and subject matter including graphic violence and sex that maybe disturbing or triggers for some listeners. This book is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.
Little gems of sexiness, Carlan's Calendar Girls has a total of twelve novellas that change things up with each download. Like a box of chocolates, you never know what flavor you'll get but you know they'll be delicious nonetheless.
It's really simple. I needed money. A lot of money. One million dollars to be exact. The amount didn't
matter. All that mattered was that in the end, that price tag held my father's life.
No money. No life.
The time limit was one year. On January 1st I had to pay up or my Father was going to be killed.
When you're faced with an ultimatum like this, you do whatever you have to do.
And that's exactly what I did.
The job...Exquisite Escorts. My role, serve as high-priced arm candy to anyone that can afford the $100,000 price tag for a month of my company. Sex is optional (for me) and a 20% increase on the price.
Mia Saunders just barely escaped a paltry life back home in Las Vegas until she gets the call that her Father has been beaten to within an inch of his life for not paying his gambling debt. Problem is, the loan shark is her lousy, ruthless ex-boyfriend. Another guy in a long line of men she'd fallen head over heels for. Not anymore. Mia's mission is simple. Serve as a high-priced escort for her Aunt's company and pay monthly against her Father's bad debt. A month with a rich man who she doesn't have to sleep with if she doesn't want to? Easy money. At least that's the way it was supposed to go.
Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will feature Mia, told from her perspective as she continues her journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.
Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

B'casting pioneer Jack Wells dies at 86
Hosted 'Dialing for Dollars,' appeared on 'General Hospital'Jack Wells, a pioneering broadcaster who hosted Baltimore's first morning TV show, died June 27 from complications of a stroke at a Los Angeles nursing home. He was 86.
Wells decided to go into radio during World War II, when he served in Europe as an Army radio operator with Chuck Thompson, who went on the become a legendary Baltimore Orioles announcer.
In 1948, Wells originated the nation's second radio talk show, one that was broadcast from 1-4 a.m. from a nightclub called the Copa. Because the technology for a two-way conversation on the air didn't exist at the time, Wells repeated the caller's words to listeners, he told the Baltimore Evening Sun in a 1977 interview.
In 1950, Wells began a seven-year stint as the host of TV's "Dialing for Dollars," which was adapted from radio.
After moving to the West Coast in 1963, Wells had his own show at KABC-AM Los Angeles, and he created and hosted another show on local TV station KHJ, "The Age of Aquarius."
Wells also did voice-overs and guest starred on shows such as "Days of Our Lives," "The Young and the Restless" and "General Hospital."
Survivors include his wife Shirley, son Glenn and his stepchildren, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm looking for something light and reasonably powerful to blog with. I've decided a Chromebook is the best thing for me to go with and as if by magic, Samsung have just announced the one I'm set on getting.
Tag: Chromebooks
Chromebooks: Should I Buy One?
Chromebooks have been around for a few years now. They aren't something that has ever interested me. That's probably because I've never used laptops or desktops often. I've always used mobile tech almost exclusively. Now my needs are changing and I want something different.
