Brigham City • Poisoning ravens, pulling out pinyon and juniper, controlling noxious cheat grass and preventing fires are the hallmarks of a pilot program the Box Elder County Commission endorsed Tuesday in a formal bid to forestall listing of the greater sage grouse under the Endangered Species Act.
Commissioners unveiled the plan in a packed meeting room in Brigham City's historic courthouse, where federal, state and local officials showered praise on this effort.
The plan makes little reference to overgrazing, viewed among environmentalists as the leading culprit in the decline of the sage grouse, but officials promised it will improve habitat and reduce threats, chiefly wildfire and nest raiding by ravens.
"We are trying to be good stewards of the land," said LuAnn Adams, the Box Elder commissioner assigned to public lands. "We hope [Bureau of Land Management officials] will follow our lead, but they have processes that they have to go through."
Utah and several Western states are crafting sage grouse conservation plans with the help of local working groups and biologists. With its new pilot program, Box Elder is the first county to implement Utah's grouse conservation strategy, according to Kathleen Clarke, director of the state Public Lands Policy Coordination Office.
"It is a beautiful complement to the state plan," Clarke said.
State officials have so far declined to release the plan, arguing it is not public until federal wildlife officials approve it.
The success of these state plans is essential in persuading the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to keep the greater sage grouse, one of the West's iconic wildlife species, off the threatened or endangered list. The agency is to make a listing decision in 2015. It is widely assumed that listing would result in restrictions on grazing and oil and gas development, with potentially devastating impacts to rural economies.
The details of the Box Elder plan have not been worked out, but it will be modeled closely on a program in neighboring Elko County, Nev., and will unfold on private land in Grouse Creek Valley in Utah's northwestern corner.
Elko officials are implementing their plan at Devils Gate Ranch, a 15,000-acre cattle operation not far across the state line from Grouse Creek.
Agriculture officials began seeding Devils Gate with poisoned eggs last year to protect calves from ravens, but ranch owner Ken Bowler said he soon began observing big increases in the numbers of chicks hatching from sage grouse nests. He attributed this to the elimination of ravens near his irrigation system pivots.
At Tuesday's meeting, congressional staffers read letters of support, and federal wildlife and agriculture officials endorsed Box Elder's move.
"This action will make a difference. It addresses threats and has monitoring," said Larry Crist, who supervises U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Utah office. "I can't applaud you enough for taking proactive action. This is going to move us forward."
In an interview, however, Jim Catlin, of the Wild Utah Project, questioned whether there is much scientific evidence that killing ravens and pulling juniper help grouse. Speaking about the Elko plan, he said it lacks regulatory teeth and thresholds to trigger mandatory actions.
"This will increase the likelihood of listing if they don't collaborate with the conservation community," Catlin said. He noted the Elko plan ignores grazing's proven impacts on the perennial grasses and forbs grouse need for food and the cover to conceal nests from predators.
"The effects of predation can be amplified by human activity. It's simple to go after something you don't like," he said. "Habitat that has too few native grasses is prone to cheat grass invasions. Grazing is one of the factors that promote more cheat grass."
But state officials say any conservation program has to accommodate traditional uses of the land.
"Ranching is not a bad thing for sage grouse ... ," said Troy Forrest, who runs the Utah Agriculture Department's grazing improvement program. "They like alfalfa, they like the open county that ranchers keep.
"We have a great opportunity to do what [Elko officials] are doing and being successful," Forrest said. "We want to grow birds and have the ammo to show Fish and Wildlife that [sage grouse] doesn't need listing."

Write an iPhone application
Бюджет $1500-3000 CAD
Hello Freelancers,
I am looking for a talented developer or developers to build an iPhone app for posting and searching rental homes to the internet.

- photos of their home
- the exact address - aided by GPS if the user wants
- a text description
- number of bedrooms, bathrooms
- whether pets are allowed or not
- whether it is furnished or not
- contact information for the poster
- ad can be edited or removed by the user at any time
Searching - The app should allow the user to search for properties that have been posted using the app
- all fields that are part of the ad are potential filters for the search
- map based and list based views of search results are required
- favourites list and "do not display" lists must be maintained
Here is the complicated part. The app should post to an API that does several things.
- saves the ad to a database
- posts the ad to Kijiji
- posts the ad on my Facebook business page
- posts a photo on Instagram business account
- creates a Facebook ad for the rental
Some of those things are only done if the user opts to pay more for the premium service.
Lastly, the app must be able to take payment from a credit card for the premium options.
Preference is if the app can be written in Swift because I have some experience in it.

Farmland in the Rheinpfalz of Germany
About 140 years ago (1719) there lived in Fussgonheim, canton Mutterstadt, a man named Benjamin JOSEPH (GREENEBAUM) and his wife Feile (Viola); these had among them a number of children, one by the name of Hirsch. As at that time the Israelites had no surnames, they took the first name of the father as surname; therefore Hirsch was called Hirsch BENJAMIN (GREENEBAUM). He married Barbara JACOB, whose Hebrew name was Beier. She was from Imsbach, canton Winnweiler, and the couple settled in Munchweiler, in the same canton, as citizens enjoying the protection of the government for a certain length of time. It is to be noted in this connection that at the time, Jews had no right of citizenship; they had to pay a certain tax to the government each year, for which they received a bill of protection, which did not guarantee them all the rights of citizenship. They had to pay besides a water tax and money for permission to graze cattle on the communal meadows. These disabilities were removed under the regency of Napoleon I, when the Jews received rights of citizenship. [1]

MADRID (Reuters) - The arrest of a prominent former Spanish banker is raising hopes among campaigners that the hunt for those responsible for the problems inherited by Bankia (BKIA.MC) and other failed lenders will deliver results.
As Spaniards struggle with a deep recession, judges have shown a growing determination to go after top executives and public figures linked to bank failures that led to a 41 billion euros ($53 billion) European bailout.
Miguel Blesa, former head of Caja Madrid, was arrested on Thursday and held in jail overnight, the most dramatic step yet in a series of probes into what went wrong at many of the country's banks.
"We're going to see more of this," said University of Barcelona law professor Joan Josep Queralt. "It will spark even more lawsuits and encourage those that are already out there."
While corruption scandals involving politicians and even the royal family mount in Spain, dozens of bankers have been charged with alleged fraud, embezzlement and other crimes at banks that have disappeared or been rescued by the state.
None has yet been put on trial.
Caja Madrid and six other savings banks were folded together in 2010 to form Bankia (BKIA.MC) which had to be rescued with 24.5 billion euros in state funds last year - a bailout that led Spain to request European funds for its ailing banks.
Hundreds of thousands of small investors lost their money when Bankia was rescued in mid-2012 just a year after listing on the Madrid Stock Exchange, principally because it could not cope with rotten real estate assets on its books.
But the allegations against Blesa - ordered to jail pending bail, as judges investigate accusations that he mishandled Caja Madrid's 2008 acquisition of a bank in Florida - point to possible problems going further back.
Examining Magistrate Jose Silva Pacheco said in a ruling there was evidence that Blesa had possibly committed crimes of improper management, misappropriation of funds and falsifying a public document.
"The behavior of the accused could have directly caused severe economic damages for the entity he chaired," the magistrate wrote in his ruling.
The ruling said Caja Madrid failed to adequately analyze the risks of the bank it bought, and that it overpaid for City National Bank (CNB) of Florida, causing implied losses of at least 500 million euros.
Caja Madrid paid $927 million for 83 percent of CNB in 2008, not long after the start of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis.
This was far more than rival Spanish lenders had paid for other banks in Florida in the same period, the magistrate noted.
A lawyer for Blesa did not respond to requests for comment. Magistrate Silva said that Blesa, in a written declaration to the court, had explained that Caja Madrid had paid that much because it was purchasing a bigger and more profitable bank.
But Silva added there were still questions over why Caja Madrid had bought CNB at such a stormy time in markets.
Bankia is currently trying to auction off CNB, and a spokesman said the Blesa case would not prevent that from going ahead. Sources have told Reuters that Bankia had been hoping to bank up to $1 billion from the sale, but that it is more likely to get $600 million to $800 million.
Blesa, a friend of former Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, of the People's Party (PP) now in government, is the first well-known Spanish banker to spend time behind bars in two decades.
Blesa, deemed "a clear flight risk" by the magistrate, spent Thursday night in a high-security Madrid jail but was seen on television leaving on Friday afternoon after posting bail.
Manos Limpias, the anti-corruption activist group that filed a criminal complaint against Blesa and requested his detention, described the magistrate's ruling as a watershed moment.
"I hope that if we are brave enough to pursue legal cases, (this case) will mark a before and an after," said Luis Pineda Salido, a lawyer and chairman of Ausbanc, a consumer rights group that is working with Manos Limpias.
Blesa was ousted from Caja Madrid during a PP power struggle and in early 2010 was replaced by Rodrigo Rato - a former PP economy minister who is now also under investigation.
Rato has been accused along with 32 other Bankia directors of fraud, price-fixing and falsifying accounts, in connection to the stock market listing of the bank.
The Bankia case could take at least another year to go to trial, if it does at all, two lawyers working on the case said.

The adventures of an urbane bar-hopping transplant to New York.
I'm a storyteller in the New York area who is a regular on NPR's "This American Life" and at shows around the city. Moved to New York in 2006 and am working on selling a memoir of my years as a greeting card writer, and (as a personal, noncommercial obsession) a nonfiction book called "How to Love God Without Being a Jerk." My agent is Adam Chromy at Artists and Artisans. If you came here after hearing about my book on "This American Life" and Googling my name, the "How to Love God" book itself isn't in print yet, and may not even see print in its current form (I'm focusing on humorous memoir), but here's a sample I've posted in case you're curious anyway: Sample How To Love God Introduction, Pt. 1 of 3. Or just look through the archives for September 18, 2007.) The book you should be expecting is the greeting card book, about which more information is pending. Keep checking back!

Anthony Weiner: Obamacare is my word
New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner says he coined the term "Obamacare."
When he was in Congress, the Democrat was a frequent guest on cable-TV shows during the height of the 2009 debate over health care. Near the bottom of a New York Times article about Weiner's legislative record, the story of how he went from being a supporter of a single-payer system to a backer of the law advocated by President Obama is told.
Obamacare is "a term, by the way, that I coined," Weiner told The New York Times.
Here's what we know:
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the law's formal name, and Obama signed it into law in 2010. It is now widely known as Obamacare, a word that has been used pejoratively by Republicans — but one that Obama himself started embracing during last year's presidential campaign.
Stories by The Washington Post and other media outlets often note Republicans began wide usage of Obamacare during the 2009-10 debate in Congress over the national health care law. The term would often be used in the same breath as "Hillarycare," a reference to the proposals advanced in the 1990s by then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney used the same juxtaposition as early as May 2007 during a campaign speech in Iowa. "Socialized medicine, Hillary-care, Obama-care, they don't get it," Romney said at the time, according to NBC News.
The first known use of Obamacare in print came three years before the legislation passed Congress. A 2011 story in The Atlantic says Jeanne Schulte Scott used the term in March 2007 in an article for the trade journal, Healthcare Financial Management, noting how health care was becoming a key issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.
"We will soon see a 'Giuliani-care' and 'Obama-care' to go along with 'McCain-care,' 'Edwards-care' and a totally revamped and remodeled 'Hillary-care' from the 1990s," Scott wrote.

March 27, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - On Saturday, the Yale lightweight crew team will head to Princeton to race against Navy for the Johnson Cup. Navy is continually one of the best crews in the league and a rival of the Bulldogs, so the Y150 squad will look to start out strong with a victory. The race will take place on Lake Carnegie and it will mark the beginning of the spring season for the lightweights.
This year will be the sixth since the inception of the Johnson Cup series against Navy. The Bulldogs have brought home the Johnson Cup in two of its existing five years, including two of the last three. Last year, the Yale first varsity boat beat the Navy first varsity crew by a margin of 5.7 seconds with a time of 6:23.50 to bring home the cup. The Yale first freshman and third varsity boats were also successful, while the second varsity and second freshman boats fell to Navy.
This season, the Y150 squad has benefited from the addition of Patrick Tynan to the coaching staff. In Aug. of 2008, Tynan was named the freshman coach for the lightweights to replace Joseph Fallon, and has been described by team members as an invaluable addition to the team.
The lightweights concluded their fall racing schedule with a victory in the Princeton Three-Mile Chase regatta, also held at Lake Carnegie. The Bulldogs sent a full squad to the regatta, including four varsity eights, one freshman eight, three fours and four pairs. The men's lightweight eight and the men's open pair both brought home victories for the Y150 squad.
Previously, the Bulldogs took first place in the lightweight four and eighth place in the lightweight eight at the 44th annual Head of the Charles Regatta. The lightweight four's victory marked the first time in over 20 years that the event was won by a university, as opposed to a club team.
Looking back on the fall season, captain Daniel Ensslen noted that, "This past fall we produced some great results, finding some success at all levels of our team at the Head of the Charles and the Princeton Chase."
After the Johnson Cup race, the lightweights will compete for the Joy Cup on April 4th, on their home course at the Gilder Boathouse in Derby, Conn., with races against MIT and Georgetown. Last year, the Bulldogs handily won the Joy Cup, defeating MIT and Georgetown in all four races. The first varsity boat took first place, finishing 9.97 seconds ahead of Georgetown and 16.56 seconds ahead of MIT. In the junior varsity race, the second varsity boat and the third varsity boat came in first and second place respectively, with Georgetown taking third place. Meanwhile, the first freshman boat easily defeated Georgetown by 12.20 seconds and MIT by 28.77 seconds.
The day following the Joy Cup race, the lightweights will travel to Ithaca, N.Y. for a dual race against rival and perennial powerhouse Cornell. At last year's race, the Bulldogs bested Cornell in four of five races, including a win in the first varsity race by a margin of 6.2 seconds. However, the Y150 squad was unable to repeat its success against Cornell later in the season, as the first varsity boat fell to the Big Red both in the Eastern Sprints and the IRA National Championship.
Following the race against Cornell, the lightweights will race Columbia and Penn for the Dodge Cup on April 11 and Dartmouth for the Durand Cup on April 18. Last year, the Bulldogs won both cups, sweeping all three races against Columbia and Penn for the Dodge Cup, as well as all four races against Dartmouth for the Durand Cup. Exceptionally, Yale has only lost the Dodge Cup twice since 1978.
The lightweights will then host the Goldthwait Cup against rivals Harvard and Princeton, on April 25 at the Gilder Boathouse. The Y150 squad won the Goldthwait Cup last year, winning three out of five races. However, the first varsity boat did lose to Princeton by 2.8 seconds for its first loss of the 2007-2008 season. The fierce rivalry with Princeton continued later in the season with the Yale first varsity boat losing to Princeton at the Eastern Sprints but beating the Tigers at the IRAs.
The Goldthwait Cup is the last dual race for the Y150 squad, and following the event, the lightweights will take several weeks to prepare for the Eastern Sprints. The Eastern Sprints serves as a de facto Ivy League Championship, and this year it will take place on May 5, in Worcester, Mass. Though the Eastern Sprints includes teams from throughout the region, including non-Ivy League universities, the placement of each Ivy's first varsity boat at the Eastern Sprints determines the final Ivy League standings. At last year's event, the Bulldogs came in third overall, losing to Cornell by 4.42 seconds and Princeton by 1.71 seconds.
Finally, the Y150 squad will conclude its season with the IRA National Championship on June 7, in Camden, N.J. At last year's IRA Regatta, the Yale first varsity boat finished third (5:41.203) behind Cornell (5:39.184) and Navy (5:40.782). However, the team did beat rival Princeton by seven-tenths of a second.
Certainly the team to beat in the last couple of years has been Cornell, as its varsity eight boat has been national champion for the past three years in a row. Of the combined six Eastern Sprints and IRA Regatta races in those three years, Cornell has won five of them. This string of victories is of note especially because the winners of the Eastern Sprints and the IRA Regatta qualify to represent the United States at the Henley Royal Regatta in England, and thus Cornell has been the sole US representative in recent years.
However, the Bulldogs have reason for optimism. Having beaten Cornell during the regular season last year, the Y150 squad is hopeful about its chances of repeating that result this year. Moreover, the team is in a great position as it incorporates two very strong freshman classes into the varsity program. For the past two years, the Yale first freshman boats have won gold at the Eastern Sprints, and the lightweights hope to transfer that success to the varsity boats.
Looking forward to the spring season, Ensslen says, "We have been working hard to integrate two very successful freshman classes into the varsity program and have been producing some very exciting results so far at our boathouse. Currently our focus at practice has been to continue the development of an incredibly aggressive ethos for Y150 in 2009 and we are all excited to see where this will take us this spring."
Schedule for Saturday
1:30 PM -- Second Freshman
1:50 PM -- Third Varsity
2:10 PM -- First Freshman
2:30 PM -- Second Varsity
2:50 PM -- First Varsity

Tuesday, November 27th, 2012
Sam Evans (Baseball Writer):
Whether he deserves it or not, Josh Hamilton is one of the most controversial players in baseball. Pretty much everyone thinks that Hamilton is a good guy, but he has made some mistakes off the field that lead to public questioning. With Hamilton hitting free agency this winter, his new contract will show how much interested teams read into his problems. Speaking of interested teams, are the Seattle Mariners a legitimate landing spot for Hamilton? If not, then who?

DJCT and Hill Country Indoor Sports and Fitness Reach Facility Agreement
DJCT will be the exclusive Jr Academy program at HCI; U8-U10 program to run all training sessions at top indoor facility in Bee Cave, TX
4/7/17 - DJCT and Hill Country Indoor (HCI) Sports and Fitness, a brand-new 140,000 square foot, state-of-the-art indoor sports and fitness facility in Bee Cave, TX, have reached an agreement that will have DJCT run its Under-8 to Under-10 Jr Academy program exclusively out of the first-of-its kind facility in West Austin starting in the Fall 2017.
HCI, which will have their grand opening during the summer of 2017, has an indoor turf field (185' by 85') that all DJCT players born in 2010, 2009 and 2008 (Under-8 to Under-10) will use for team practices at the indoor facility. The partnership will ensure that DJCT does not lose practice sessions due to rainouts and will allow parents to take advantage of the many amenities that HCI has to offer during their child's practice.* Starting in May, HCI will be scheduling tours of the facility. DJCT members will be eligible for discounted gym memberships as part of the agreement.

Panchakarma Holistic Healing is a 5 days intense detoxification program where every negative trait is directed to a better life. It is a complete Body-Mind-Spirit cleansing and re-chanellising technique program.
"Stress" is the culprit in today's most fast moving time. Stress creates chaos in a person, resulting in behavioural disorders. To de-stress oneself, one should undergo the Panchakarma Holistic Healing detoxification program.
It is advised not to neglect above-mentioned stress factors, as because if they are carried for long period of time, then it results in serious physical dis-orders.
Usually stress if not eliminated early then by nature it starts depositing in the various organs and parts of the body. It settles in most vital organs like liver, breast, paNoidaeas, Reproductive organs etc. in form of diseases.
Once the stress factors are flushed out and new desired programming is installed in the memory, a new pattern starts governing one's life in a complete new direction with fresh outlook and confident approach. For all this the old pattern has to be dissolved and it is possible only through "Panchakarma detoxification Program".
Comforts indicate that a person is in harmonious relationship to his environment, discomfort indicates that some kind of disharmony has arisen.
So therefore! Do not wait and do not push too far, wake-up before Stress responses turn on our bodies and begin to create havoc both mentally and physically.
Panchkarma stages:
5 Days in 8 Stages – 2 Hours per day –
1st Day:
a) Thorough education on 7 major Chakras
b) Thorough education on 7 layers of Aura, their effect and function in one's body and life.
c) Chakras Cleansing – Special effect with ' Naval ' cleansing
2nd Day:
a) Chakras energizing with respective colors of each Chakras along with the
Cosmic rays of VIBGYOR
b) Chakras empowering - Special effects with "Brahma Nada" Here Brahma Nada is infused with the respective "beej" sound of each Chakras, 'very profound'.

a) Present Life Regression

Sauna Str, Tallinn
Today is so boiling hot that I just wanted to wear something comfortable. I'm naturally really pale and try to avoid showing too much skin, but in such heat, I don't care anymore. Usually, in Estonian weather, my favourite piece of clothing is my raincoat – can't live without it. I get most of clothes from vintage shops and flea markets. It is almost like treasure hunting; however, this sometimes leads to buying clothes I'm actually not going to wear. For example, a couple of weeks ago I bought this Turkish-style jacket I will probably never wear, but I was so happy when I found it. My parents are always telling me I shouldn't buy such clothes, but I can't resist. This weekend there was the Supernoova competition and I saw in some newspapers the dresses made by Hanna Korsar and I loved them. It is really brave to go for something completely unexpected like these baroque-esque gowns.
Tammsaare's Park, Tallinn
I don't know what to think about my style. I guess my usual fashion choices lean towards the bohemian style, especially in the summer. I listen to indie-music so this probably affects as well. One thing I have noticed is how during the winter months I think more about what I wear and my style, while in the summer it is very laid-back. This summer I like statement pieces like this dress, and, in general, dresses and skirts. I'm very into the British fashion scene with designers like Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and style icons like Agyness Deyn. It is very crazy and very brave. Also, every now and then I see what is happening in the haute couture world. This is because I don't like boring clothes; I like when designers turn it up a notch.

Words by Mr Freddie Campion
Like a lot of New Yorkers, Mr Theophilus London has no problem telling a complete stranger about the hidden powers of coconut water. "It's the best thing to hydrate you," the 22-year-old rapper says from his NoLIta apartment, which also doubles as a studio, office and, as he puts it, "global headquarters".
Unlike a lot of New Yorkers, however, he isn't letting his love of the drink go to waste. Following in the footsteps of hip-hop drinks magnates P Diddy and 50 Cent, he's now looking to expand into the niche beverage market, and is working on releasing his own, as yet unnamed, brand of coconut water some time next year.
"We're going to try to sell a clean aesthetic," he says, when I ask how his brand will stand out in the already crowded coconut water market. "I don't really want my music name on it, or anything like that."
Whether or not Mr London will soon be joining the ranks of Diddy and Fiddy is still to be seen, but what is clear is that it's not his first foray into this kind of cross-branded self-promotion, and it certainly won't be his last.
Mr London counts Mr Hugh Hefner among his idols - along with Mr Karl Lagerfeld and Heisenberg, the fictional drug kingpin persona assumed by Walter White on Breaking Bad
Even before the release of his debut album in 2011 - the 1980s pop-infused Timez Are Weird These Days, the follow up to which he's just begun working on - he'd already collaborated with brands such as Cole Haan (designing a pair of suede bucks, which feature a shade of blue he claims has never appeared on a shoe before) and luxury slipper-maker Del Toro. And this week also sees the launch of a capsule collection with California surf and streetwear label Stussy.
"I sketch while I'm on tour," he says. "I've also got some stuff with Surface to Air in the works. It's a good hobby."
Almost all of these projects (yes, even the coconut water) take place under the banner of LVRS, the creative company he founded in 2010 to broker a deal with Mountain Dew when it offered to release one of his singles on the company's Green Label Sounds imprint - "I didn't want to do it with my full name," he explains - but which he soon hopes to turn into his own global lifestyle brand.
"I started it as a creative agency, as a way to work with creative people and flush that money through," he says. "Now it's also like my in-house design imprint."
the work
The Performance
Mr London performs at Bing Bar during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, Park City, Utah, January 2012
The Launch
The singer at the launch of the 2012 Pirelli Calendar by Mr Mario Sorrenti at Park Avenue Armory, New York, December 2011
The Exhibition
Mr London at the Chanel The Little Black Jacket exhibition, New York, June 2012
As far back as he can remember, Mr London has always had a flair for marrying style and entrepreneurship. Growing up in Brooklyn in the mid-1990s - he was born in Trinidad but moved to the US soon after - he was obsessed with Air Jordans, and he and his cousins would pass the time designing their own sneakers ("Mine were called the Air London," he says) complete with their own fantasy advertising campaigns and launch concepts.
Soon after leaving college in Pennsylvania (he won't say which one, just that it was "some shitty college" and that he left at 19 after only one year) he and a friend attempted to turn an old strip-club-turned-church back into a working strip club again. But, he's quick to point out, "not an aggressive one, like you're thinking". This was going to be a respectful joint, aimed at bringing in local college kids.
Needless to say it didn't work out. But still, it highlights the kind of fashion-conscious, globetrotting playboy that London has long since aspired to. He still counts Mr Hugh Hefner among his idols - along with Mr Karl Lagerfeld and Heisenberg, the fictional drug kingpin persona assumed by Walter White on Breaking Bad ("there is nothing he can't get done, and that's inspirational to me," Mr London explains) - and says if he's able to turn LVRS into a full-blown house, the ideal customer would be "anyone between 13 and 50, who's down for the full lifestyle experience... partying, travelling worldwide".
Timez Are Weird These Days is out now on Warner Bros Records
His style on the other hand is a little more idiosyncratic. He was a trendsetter in high school - he counts "headbands, backwards goggles and boat shoes" among his many triumphs - and today he's known for mixing Rick Owens and Prada with flamboyant jewellery and quirky vintage store finds. He's the image of the modern-day hip-hop dandy businessman.
It's a taste that has opened up a lot of doors, and it's not uncommon for him to perform at high-profile fashion events in front of some of the fashion establishment's biggest players.
"Being invited by Calvin Klein to perform at the amFAR Benefit Gala, and getting emails from Anna Wintour once in a while, are the kinds of things I find inspiring," he says. "I also played the Cannes Film Festival last year in front of some of my favourite actors. That was incredible. Me and Kanye were like the only black dudes in the room."
As we speak, New York Fashion Week is fast approaching, so I can't help but ask where and when he'll be making appearances.
"I'm going to leak the plans next week," he says.
Do you have a lot of secret plans, I ask?
"Yeah," he says.
Are you going to tell me any?

Some computer programs are hard. Most > aren't. So it's a dumb comparison. If you say so. Most of the programmers I know go through three stages. When they're starting out, as they're writing their very first programs, they think writing software is complicated and that they don't know nearly enough. Then, when they've gotten to the point where they have been doing it a while and are reasonably familiar with a language or two, they think writing software is straightforward. As with the time where new pilots know enough to fly reasonably but don't have a lot of hours, this is when the programmer is the most dangerous to himself and to others. Finally, if they're really good programmers, after a few years they begin to think writing good software is monstrously difficult, as hard as the hardest human endeavors, and that they only understand enough to muddle through it. This is when they can finally be trusted. You can tell the incompetent people by the fact that they never get past stage 2. Perry

Read on to find out how a new generation of designers and printers have taken concert posters from the promotional realm into the world of collectible fine art.
We all know about Sara Serigraph, the darling debutante daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Silkscreen. She's a creature of rare beauty, elegant with expensive tastes, and found only in the company of better galleries, art societies, and true connoisseurs of the printed form.
This tale, however, is about Sara's long-lost brother, Johnny Gigposter, who ran off and joined a rock n' roll tour that passed through town when he was just a kid. Johnny spent his formative years skating, surfing, and hanging out with punk, metal, and grunge bands and experimenting with illicit art in the form of concert flyers. He was run out of Seattle, Austin, and other cities by the poster police, but he somehow managed to not only survive, but also to develop some awesome artistic talent along the way. And now the prodigal poster boy has returned to claim his place in the mainstream art world, squeegees dripping multicolored ink like a new-age gunslinger in all his Day-Glo glory.
Okay, that may be laying it on a bit thick, but those of you who've been stopped dead on the street by a poster advertising some band or concert event, sporting a design that grabs your eyeballs and doesn't let go, you know what I'm talking about. Rock concert posters--gigposters, in the vernacular--are an imaginative, visual representation of a band, its music, or both, but not usually in a literal sense. These aren't just offset-printed photos of the artist with some type on the side for a teenybopper's bedroom wall. Leave that for the mass-marketed pop stars. Today's modern rock posters are original works of limited-edition art (Figure 1).
Gigposters showcase the creative artist/printmaker's skills in illustration, design, and cartooning, mixed in with computer savvy and, often, old-fashioned graphic ability, including hand lettering and killer ruby-cutting talent. Some are printed digitally, some offset, some letterpress, but most are screen printed, either by the artist or a printer who specializes in the form. The lowly music poster has transcended its original purpose, which was to attract, inform, and then motivate the viewer to go to the gig. It now has become collectible art.

Since THE COMPANY BAND first got together in 2006, the group has solely existed through semi-annual corporate retreats. These meetings developed into an organization of odd fellows featuring vocalist Neil Fallon from CLUTCH, drummer Jess Margera from CKY, guitarist/vocalist Jim Rota from FIREBALL MINISTRY, bassist Brad Davis from FU MANCHU and guitarist Dave Bone. Since the beginning, the group has rarely surfaced to show their hand. In 2007 it was the "Sign Here, Here And Here" EP. In 2009 it was "The Company Band" album along with the "It's A Confusing World / Not Fragile" single. And after a recent retreat at a beach house in Venice, the group have a new five-song EP ready, "Pros & Cons", due on July 31 via Weathermaker Music.
"The music on this record is our most platinum-influenced. Early '80s hard rock and classic metal. Bands like AC/DC, JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN and some AEROSMITH. But it's become a melting pot. This is the stuff where we really found our sound," says Dave Bone. Jim Rota goes on to describe: "It's like that point in life when you finally say; I'm trading in the Kawasaki and going full Harley. We went full Harley on this one." Brad Davis points out that maximum sound quality was of utmost importance: "We did a lot of the EP live in the studio. Working with producer Dr. Andrew Alekel at Grandmaster Recorders is always a recipe for success. There's no doubt, he's an important asset to our team." The recording for Neil's vocals was done with J. Robbins at The Magpie Cage in Baltimore. "In the modern age, remote operations are crucial to productivity," Neil said of the coast to coast recording. Guitar overdubs and background vocals were also done at Jim's own Sword And Shield studio. "Having the ability to examine the product under your own microscope is indispensable," Jim commented.
Not many have known the origins of THE COMPANY BAND until Jess Margera finally opened up about its inception. "I crossed paths with Jim on tour and knew we should open up shop immediately," he said. "Do some instrumentals that could be valuable in the placement market. Then he suggested getting Bone involved. It's then when we laid down our original presentation that we took to Neil. We hoped he could be a guest speaker on one of the tracks but it fortunately turned out that he wanted a permanent seat. Brad Davis came seamlessly into the fold later as he was already a compatriot with several of the members, musically and socially."
With everyone's bands creating such a difficult schedule, how do they make it all happen? "I don't want to say we pay great attention to astrology, but..." said Neil Fallon trailing off. "On this one, I chose the spot for the retreat in Venice. A great location will not only bring the people out, but it will also bring the best out of the people." And when THE COMPANY BAND do get together, it's an occasion not to be missed. The group can be seen performing limited live demonstrations toward the end of July.
"Pros & Cons" EP track listing:
01. House of Capricorn
02. Black Light Fever
03. Kill Screen
04. Loc Nar
05. El Dorado

I can't see why you couldn't interconnect two physical interfaces with a zero length cable: that is, back to back line drivers on the same PC board. Nothing special with the interconnections, they're just balanced pair transmission lines with nominal impedances of around 110 ohms. As a practical matter, light speed is 1ns/ft in free space. Probably 75% of that in a real cable with real dielectrics. so, your 200 mm is right on 1 ns, or one bit time. > >From my limited understanding of such things, surely there would be some > sort of >electrical issue with too short a cable corrupting signalling/bits etc? nope.. can't have transmission lines too short. >The Net seems to vary between selling you a 0.5m cable v's "never use less >than >1.0m" v's "there's no practical limit to how short". > >Thoughts and comments appreciated. Worse case I'll prolly try a 1m v's a 0.25m >and check error rates :) Good idea.. there might be some sort of weirdness if you happen to get just the wrong length. There is some amount of discontinuity at the connectors, and if the cable happens to be just the wrong length, then the discontinuities at each end form a resonant circuit. Back in the "good old days" of Ethernet, the cable actually had stripes on it where it was "legal" to stick in a vampire tap, just for this kind of reason. James Lux, P.E.

Cleverly Ironic Post Title Here
With the world-wide economy in the crapper, hard times are upon us all. Many people are struggling just to keep their heads above water, and we here at This Is Your Captain Speaking are no different. Tough decisions had to be made, belts tightened, and extraneous expenditures reduced. I am no longer able to tip my hookers more than 10%, for example, which just breaks my heart.
Unfortunately, other cuts had to be made as well. Some of these cuts, I'm sorry to say, may affect the quality of this blog. As you've probably already noticed, I had to have the color turned off, as we were unable to pay our color bill this month. I can live with this change, though, because I think having the blog in black and white may be interpreted by some as "classy".
Another luxury item which I am no longer able to afford is the font service. Up until now I've been using the elegantly understated "Trebuchet MS" font, but have had to switch to the much cheaper generic "serif" font. I realize that, for electronic media, serif fonts do not read as well, but it gets the job done, and you sure can't beat the price.
To further underscore the recent economic slump, it turns out that the company which I'd been ordering my post titles from has gone out of business. I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused, and I promise I'll find a new supplier soon. In the meantime you'll just have to close your eyes and imagine that this post has some cleverly ironic title.
One of the more difficult things I had to do was to let some of the staff go. For example, Monique (my proof-reader/fluffer) has been laid off indefinitely, so you may notice a few grammatical and, spelling errors hear and their.
I've also lost both of my comment responders. I know some of you probably assumed that I actually responded to your comments myself, but, as the CEO of SmackLabs LTD, I really do not have time to be bothered with every little detail. Incidentally, losing my comment responders wasn't so much a budget problem as it was an immigration problem. I'm sure Jose and Fernando will return in a couple of weeks, assuming they make it through the dessert without dehydrating. Until then, I'm afraid I can only afford to respond to every third comment.
As bad as all of these losses are, nothing saddens me more than having to discontinue the Jesus & Elvis series. I assure you, my lawyers did their best to renegotiate a contract with the duo, but we just couldn't come to an agreement. These guys are a class act, and, as I'm sure you can imagine, they don't exactly work for peanuts. I can't tell you how much I'll miss having them around.
The good news is that I've already found a replacement for them. He's a wacky little fella, who I'm sure you'll just love. He's so adorable! Like many entertainers who started out young, he suffered from Child Star Syndrome, and subsequently developed a severe substance abuse problem. This worked out great for me, though, because I don't even have to pay him with actual money.
Friends, meet my new sidekick:
Oh, just wait until you see this guy's lovable antics! (I tried to book Whitney Houston, by the way, but she was already in a contract with Knudsen's blog, apparently.)
While it may be true that many of this blog's core features have been slightly scaled back, let me assure you that we here at This Is Your Captain Speaking are still a hundred and ten percent dedicated to bringing you top-notch, quality blogging, with a minimum of

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team was able to keep the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds scoreless throughout 90 minutes of regulation play, but fell to the conference foe in overtime. LIU Brooklyn is now (7-7-3, 5-1-3 NEC) and Central's record falls to (3-12-1, 2-6-0 NEC).
The Blue Devils were outshot by the Blackbirds 12-7 but managed to post three shots in the first half. Sophomore Lauren Varholak sent one wide, classmate Kerriann Welch placed one high and junior Rachel Cerrone shot one that landed on target but was saved by LIU goalie Jennifer Bannon. The six shots from LIU during the first period also fell unsuccessful and both teams finished the half deadlocked at zero.
The second half began with a shot by the Blackbirds followed by a shot from freshman defender Marissa Quesnel that was saved by Bannon. CCSU boasted five corner kicks in the second period, three in the last minute of play, but none resulted in a shot opportunity for Central and regulation play expired with the teams still scoreless.
It was LIU's Katie Egan who posted the lone overtime shot and found the back of the net in the fifth minute of overtime. She put the Blackbirds up 1-0 to end the match.
Both Bannon and Central's Nikola Deiter spent 95:12 in goal and accumulated three saves on the day. The Blue Devils out-matched the Blackbirds in corner kicks, 7-4.
Central returns to action on Friday, Oct. 26, at the CCSU Soccer Field in New Britain, CT at 7 p.m. The Blue Devils will take on conference foe Fairleigh Dickinson who is currently 5-9-3 on the season and is tied with CCSU in NEC play 2-6-0.

Newborn survives after pregnant mother shot dead in Detroit
DETROIT – Detroit police say a man fatally shot a man and a pregnant 23-year-old woman, whose baby was hospitalized after a cesarean delivery.
Sgt. Michael Woody says the gunman also critically wounded a 75-year-old man in the attack about 12:50 p.m. Sunday on the city's west side. Woody says the shooting victims were relatives.
Woody tells the Detroit Free Press the attacker first killed a 25-year-old man outside the house, then shot the woman and the older man as they emerged from the building.
Woody says the woman was nine months' pregnant and doctors delivered her baby girl. The sergeant says the baby and older man were being treated at Henry Ford Hospital.
Woody says the killer fled in the younger man's car. He says a motive is unknown.

If "End of Watch" had been just "another predictable cop movie," Jake Gyllenhaal says, he would not have done it.
"I chose this because it had heart," Gyllenhaal said. He and Chicago native Michael Pena star as two LAPD police officers that spend half their time on the job chasing perps and the other half discussing the meaning of life and love. Although Brian Taylor (Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Pena) both are honorable officers, they become walking targets for South Central gang members when their ambitions get the better of them.
"The heart of this movie is that we have this relationship and you can take us out of the context of being police officers and put us in another movie and it has that heart," Gyllenhaal told RedEye during an interview Monday at the Four Seasons in L.A. "End of Watch" opens Friday.
Like their characters on screen, L.A. native Gyllenhaal and Pena have become close friends. But that bond didn't happen right away, according to writer/director David Ayer, who told MCT the actors were barely on speaking terms initially. They couldn't agree on anything, Pena has said.
So Ayer assigned them months of police training, martial arts training, weapons training, sparring and doing ride-alongs with L.A. police officers, which strengthened their bond and gave them a mutual respect of each other's talents.
"The torture that I put them through made them become friends," Ayer told MCT. "It became 'Oh God, what have I created here?' They wouldn't shut up."
Their friendship is apparent in how the actors now praise each other.
"Jake was awesome," Pena said. "He was like, 'This is our movie.' You don't always get that. He's a friend now for life. He wanted me to do the best that I could possibly do. That does something to your psyche. He really took care of me."
Watching Pena rock his role is one of the things Gyllenhaal liked most about the job. He described Pena's performance as "absolutely compelling and inspired."
"For us that partnership, becoming brothers and coming from two different places definitely as people, was key," said Gyllenhaal, who also executive produced the film. "It took us a while to become close, but we are really incredibly close now."
Although the actors spent five months on the L.A. streets observing real officers, "End of Watch" was shot in just 22 days. On Gyllenhaal's first ride-along, a speeding train nearly nailed him. His unit was in pursuit of a stolen vehicle that got stalled on railroad tracks, and he and the officers pushed the car off the tracks with about 30 seconds to spare.
"When you're doing a ride-along there are hours and hours of boredom that are occasionally interspersed with a situation that can be violent," Gyllenhaal said. "The reality of what the job is hasn't always been rightly portrayed [in film] ... We discovered a sense of humor and a real partnership, a brotherhood inside [the patrol cars]."
Witnessing murders, domestic disputes and other heinous criminal acts all are things that might make two actors scoot a little closer to each other in the back of a patrol car. But for Gyllenhaal, the bond with Pena went even deeper. Pena and Ayer gave Gyllenhaal a crash course in "Latino 101," and as a result Gyllenhaal has a new appreciation for Latino culture.
"This movie changed my life," Gyllenhaal said. "The Spanish culture that David Ayer introduced me to, and being around Michael ... It was so inspiring to me. The running joke on the set was that I should marry a Mexican girl!"
The fun didn't end there, Gyllenhaal said. The violent situations the characters face in the film "are all based on things that happened" in real life, Gyllenhaal said. Still, the scenes with him and Pena in the squad car--which were shot in just a day and a half--were his favorites.
"When you're working with a great actor and you get to play with good writing," he said. "To me that whole day-and-a-half was probably the most fun to shoot."

Overview of Radiological ImagingOverview Of Radiological Imaging - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
How are radiological images produced?
The various types of radiological procedures may be grouped by the means in which their images are produced: transmission imaging, reflection imaging, or emission imaging.
transmission imaging
X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and fluoroscopy are radiological examinations whose images are produced by transmission. In transmission imaging, a beam of high-energy photons is produced and passed through the body structure being examined. The beam passes very quickly through less dense types of tissue such as watery secretions, blood, and fat, leaving a darkened area on the x-ray film. Muscle and connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, and cartilage) appear gray. Bones will appear white.
reflection imaging
Reflection imaging refers to the type of imaging produced by sending high-frequency sounds to the body part or organ being studied. These sound waves "bounce" off of the various types of body tissues and structures at varying speeds, depending on the density of the tissues present. The bounced sound waves are sent to a computer that analyzes the sound waves and produces a visual image of the body part or structure. Ultrasound is an example of reflection imaging.
emission imaging
Emission imaging occurs when tiny, nuclear particles or magnetic energy are detected by a scanner and analyzed by computer to produce an image of the body structure or organ being examined. Nuclear medicine studies use emission of nuclear particles from nuclear substances introduced into the body specifically for the examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, for example, are obtained by using a large magnet to cause changes in the body tissue in order to detect magnetic energy in the body part or structure being examined.

The tragedy of the commons is an example of what game theorists call a prisoner's dilemma. I won't go into detail (check out the wikipedia entry for a good explanation) but the general idea is that the game is set up so that it is in each player's individual interest to cheat, so they all do, but that ultimately leads to everyone being worse off than if they'd all co-operated.
It seems to me that the current international negotiations about climate change are the ultimate prisoner's dilemma. It is in each nation's best (economic) interests to have each other country do something about limiting greenhouse gas emissions, but not do something themselves. If you take on costly measures to reduce your emissions and everyone else does too, that's good. But better is if you avoid the cost and let everyone else do the work. Worst is if you take on the cost and no-one else does – you cop the economic hit to your industries of emission costs and you still get hit with the costs of global warming. So, individually, it's in each country's best interests to do nothing. Of course, collectively, that spells disaster for us all.
The way around this is by not acting in our own selfish interests, but getting together and agreeing on measures for every country to reduce its emissions – as Harding said 'mutual coercion mutually agreed upon'.
In the early 1990s, 189 countries came to this realisation and signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which came into force in 1994. This provided for general measures such as compiling and sharing data about emissions and climatic changes. In 1997 this was turned into more concrete obligations through the Kyoto Protocol, which 84 countries – including the US and Australia – signed. The Protocol came into effect last year when ratified by countries with more than 55% of global greenhouse emissions. It has now been ratified by 163 nations. The US and Australian governments have had a change of heart since signing the Protocol and have said they will not seek to ratify it, which means they are not bound by it. The only other countries which have signed and then failed to ratify are Croatia, Kazakhstan, and Zambia.
So Kyoto has a good coverage of countries with only very few dissenters. Nevertheless, I think it's fair to say that Kyoto looks vulnerable. The Australian and US governments have not only not joined - they seem to want to undermine it. The have claimed that Kyoto is unfair and ineffective because it does not place emissions limits on developing countries. Developing countries say it would be unfair to do so because they need to emit more in order to develop. They suggest that if industrial countries want them to reduce their emissions, they should assist them in developing cleaner energy. (That is already part of how Kyoto works – countries can gain credits by investing in emissions reduction projects in developing countries.)
And this impasse might be getting even more entrenched. Few countries have yet taken strong steps to reduce emissions and the countries which look like they may not be going to meet their obligations are rethinking their commitment – not least because they see the US and Australia getting away with thumbing their noses at the Protocol. Canada's new government has taken some pot shots at the Kyoto Protocol and says Canada will not meet its targets, although for now it has said it will remain in the Protocol for the next commitment period beginning in 2012. The first round of obligations has set a very modest target of a 5% reduction from 1990 levels among industrialised countries. Even that may not be met and when developing countries are considered, total global emissions will have increased since 1990.
Meetings have just taken place in Bonn to start talking about targets for the second period, starting in 2012. These will need to be much stricter targets and the political will to take these on might be waning with Australia, the US and developing countries not taking on targets and countries such as Canada, New Zealand and Japan having trouble meeting even their first round targets.
To speculate about the way forward, the glimmers of hope seem to me to be:
- National action will become less important as local, state and regional governments and communities take bolder measures;
- International aid will be increasingly targeted at clean energy, helping to restrain emissions growth in developing countries;
- There will be modest technological advances which help decouple economic growth from emissions growth.
Harding's solution to the tragedy of the commons was to all agree to limit how many cattle we graze there. We're having trouble doing that, so it might be a good thing that we seem to be slowly running out of cows.

With Yogurt, Its Greek To Athenos
Yogurt is one of the fastest growing food categories in America, and the latest star is Greek-style yogurt, which has doubled in sales yearly for the past five years. Right on trend, Kraft Foods, Northfield, Ill., rolls out Athenos Greek Yogurt, a mighty competitor to the Chobani and Fage brands on the market.
Whether used as a healthy and delicious substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, or consumed during breakfast, lunch and/or dinner, Athenos Greek Yogurt can conveniently fit into your everyday food routine. It can be consumed as a snack, mixed into a smoothie, used in cooking and more. A rich and creamy, authentic Greek yogurt, strained the authentic way and made from milk from cows not treated with the growth hormone rbST, Athenos is the only brand that offers a dual-compartment, nonfat product – yogurt in one section and fruit or honey on the side. By keeping the fruit or honey separated, Athenos Greek Yogurt stays fresher and is easy to customize flavor to suit individual tastes.
Available in five varieties -- Plain, Honey, Strawberry, Peach and Blueberry, Athenos Greek Yogurt is a nutritious, healthy food with 0g of fat and twice the amount of protein of regular yogurt. The fruit topping varieties have100 calories and all of the flavor varieties pack 11g of protein per 5.3-oz. serving. Additionally, an 8-oz. serving provides 30 percent of the RDV of calcium.
"Adding a Greek yogurt to the Athenos family is an exciting next step for the brand," says Athenos brand manager Marshall Hyzdu. "When we asked our 85,000 Facebook fans if they would like to see a Greek yogurt product from Athenos, the positive response was overwhelming. We can't wait for people to taste what we think will be the most authentic and delicious Greek yogurt on the market."
Suggested retail price for snack-size containers is $1.50, while 1-lb. containers of plain yogurt is $3.99.

I promised to follow up on my Gimlet post from a while back. I was happy to see it garner so much commentary, so I wanted to address everyone's thoughts.
First, the majority of you rightly shun and abhor Rose's Lime Cordial. I'm sure that at some point, before the addition of HFCS, preservatives, and artificial colorings and flavorings, it was a quality product. No more.
Second, there's far less agreement on whether a drink of gin, lime juice, and simple syrup deserves the moniker "Gimlet." I believe that it does not. A Gin Sour is a fabulous drink, one I've enjoyed in the past and will enjoy again in the future. It is not, however, a Gimlet.
So, what's a drunk to do?
I side with those of you who either use the Employee's Only cordial or who make their own. I have yet to actually tackle that project, although I keep meaning to. It's a worthy endeavor. I even have a bottle of Rose's in the fridge that I intend to use as a control. If I get around to it while computers still exist and while blogs such as this are still a viable means of communication, perhaps I'll even post about it.

You may create a slick website with optimized written content and a solid revenue model, but if you don't have a server to house your site and direct web traffic, no one will be able to access your content. A good web host serves up your site to the world wide web and makes publishing and updating your site quick and easy. Once your site is connected to the internet, your target audience can access your content through whatever domain name you have chosen. Essentially, web hosts take the technical responsibilities upon themselves, leaving you more time and energy to ensure your website is the best it can be.
Whatever kind of site you intend to create, there is a web host with a package that will suit your needs. From personal webpages to much larger, professional sites that include databases and complex scripts, there's a web host for everyone. Our web hosting reviews look at services that work well for multiple purposes. Every service in our lineup is reliable and will provide you with a high percentage of uptime. Our top-rated services are Just Host, Go Daddy and iPage. More information is available in our articles on web hosting.
Top hosting providers all provide the same basic function of serving your site to the internet, but they can vary greatly when it comes to a few key factors. Here are the criteria we used to determine the best web hosting companies.
Most web hosting sites offer monthly service subscriptions at different price points and varying levels of service. All packages contain integral hosting components including disk space, bandwidth and domains; some services have fixed allotments while others provide unlimited server storage, bandwidth and number of domains you can host under your account.
The type of hosting package you select largely depends on the type and number of websites you want hosted. Small, inexpensive web hosting packages are sufficient for simple websites, but if you have multiple sites or want to host a professional website that can expand with the growth of your business or blog, opt for a robust hosting package that meets your needs.
A top web hosting company should provide an array of features that enable you to create, publish and maintain your website. We looked for a website builder, one-click installation of supported apps and an integrated control panel for easy site management. Email functionality should also be included, with unlimited email addresses that include your domain name, auto-responders and spam filters.
We also looked for advanced supplementary features that will appeal to users with experience in web design and programming languages. These include custom cron jobs, a script library, raw access logs and customizable error pages. The best web hosting sites also provide ample server access options. Even the cheapest web hosting companies should offer unlimited FTP accounts, .htaccess and secure shell (SSH) access.
A web host's usability is crucial to consider, especially if you've had little experience with shared web hosting providers. We looked for services that provide intuitive and user-friendly interfaces that allow easy management of your website.
When it comes to website hosting and site management, technical problems can occur anytime. Subsequently, responsive tech support is critical and reps should be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist you. Web hosting services should also provide comprehensive resources to help you become familiar with their service. These should include user forums, video tutorials, a knowledgebase and getting-started wizards that walk you through the setup process.
Choosing the right eCommerce web hosting service can help give your business or blog a competitive edge online, with a wide range of features, tools and capabilities at your disposal. Whether or not you are well-versed in web design and hosting, the services in our lineup can help you create, publish and maintain a successful website.
