GFI MAX RemoteManagement works a bit differently than most of the system monitoring solutions I've looked at in the past. Instead of being a server-based application that you install on a system inside your network, GFI MAX RemoteManagement is a hosted solution. With this product, the server doesn't query each monitored node at specified intervals. Instead, each monitored node has a software agent that's configured to report back to the GFI MAX RemoteManagement system with its current statistics, alerts, and a detailed hardware inventory.
Although the product could be used by an internal IT department to keep a handle on minute-by-minute network or system conditions, its main intended use is as a management solution for independent consultants who support several companies. Having a software agent on each computer gives GFI MAX RemoteManagement an advantage in managing a very mobile workforce because the software agent can check in with the system from behind firewalls and wherever the computer gains Internet access.
To deploy the product, you log on to the web console and create a hierarchy of businesses and business sites, as Figure 1 shows. Each site is associated with one business, and each server or workstation is associated with one of the business sites. Then you add servers or workstations to each of the sites by installing the software agent on each computer in either server or workstation mode. After the software agent is installed, the computer quickly shows up in the GFI MAX RemoteManagement web console. From this console or software agent interface you can create an installation package that can be deployed to other computers through a Group Policy Object (GPO) or other means. Keep in mind that whatever computer this installation package is installed on will show up in the same company hierarchy as the computer it was created from.
Figure 1: GFI MAX RemoteManagement's web interface
During the installation process, the wizard walks you through a process of choosing which Daily Safety Checks will be tested and reported on. The Daily Safety Checks options for software agents in server mode include:
- Antivirus—Checks whether the antivirus software is installed and running the latest updates. (Most major antivirus software packages are supported, but you should check the product's documentation before making a commitment.)
- Backup—Alerts you if a supported backup product fails. (Check product documentation for specific information about supported backup products; currently supported products include Acronis, ARCserve, GFI Backup, Microsoft backups, Veritas, Symantec, and VaultLogix.)
- Drive Consumption (workstation also)—Measures how much disk space is still available.
- Exchange (if applicable)—Verifies that the size of any of your information stores is less than the configured limit.
- WSUS (if applicable)—Checks that the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) database is updating with its source and identifies the current critical update status of computers on the network.
- File Size (workstation also)—Checks the actual file size; would likely be used if you needed to monitor the size of a database file or database log file. Abnormal growth in a database could indicate a problem or unknown change that should be investigated. Sudden growth in a log file could indicate that a particular process is failing.
- Event Log (workstation also)—These alerts can be configured for the Windows event logs based on event ID, source, type, and text contained in the message area.
- Scripts (workstation also)—You can upload custom scripts from the web console and assign them to individual computers. Supported script types include VBScript, DOS Batch, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, PowerShell, Ruby, and Python.
- Critical Events (workstation also)—Similar to the Event Log check in the sense that it looks at the Windows event logs; however, its purpose is to provide a daily report of either the 10 most frequent or 10 most recent events in whichever log you specified when you configured the check.
- Hacker (workstation also)—Number of failed logon attempts.
- Physical Disk (workstation also)—If any of your attached disks is a Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART)-type disk and reports errors, GFI MAX RemoteManagement can collect and report these errors.
- SNMPv1/v2c (workstation also)—Allows reporting of any information available via the SNMP protocol. If installed in server mode, the check can be directed at other devices on the network. For example, I had the agent installed on a Windows server in server mode and I was able to receive information about the bandwidth usage of my SonicWALL firewalls. However, when the GFI MAX RemoteManagement software agent is in workstation mode, this check can report only on the local machine's SNMP database.
The installation wizard goes through another screen, from which you can select what the computer will test every 5 or 15 minutes. Some of these checks are the same as the Daily Safety Checks; the difference is that they're checked much more frequently. The 24/7 Checks options for software agents in server mode include:
- Bandwidth Monitoring—Uses SNMP to query network interfaces on the network, such as an Ethernet switch, to identify current throughput and possible performance issues. If a configured threshold is exceeded, an alert can be triggered.
- File Size (workstation also)—Checks the actual file size; would likely be used if you needed to monitor the size of a database file or database log file. Abnormal growth in a database could indicate a problem or unknown change that should be investigated. Sudden growth in a log file could indicate that a particular process is failing.
- Event Log (workstation also)—These alerts can be configured for the Windows event logs based on event ID, source, type, and text contained in the message area.
- Scripts (workstation also)—You can upload custom scripts from the web console and assign them to individual computers. Supported script types include VBScript, DOS Batch, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, PowerShell, Ruby, and Python.
- Drive Space (workstation also)—Verifies that the amount of available drive space is greater than the specified minimum.
- Server Performance—Measures processor utilization, processor queue length, memory usage, network interfaces, and physical disk statistics to generate reports and alerts.
- Ping—This check verifies that the monitored machine can still ping other interfaces on the network.
- TCP Service—Checks whether services are still accepting connections correctly, whether the correct ports are open, and whether ports that shouldn't be opened are closed.
- Web Site—Verifies that correct text strings are returned from web servers.
- Windows Service (workstation also)—Verifies that services necessary to the Windows OS are up and running.
- SNMPv1/v2c (workstation also)—Allows reporting of any information available via the SNMP protocol. If installed in server mode, the check can be directed at other devices on the network. If installed in workstation mode, the check can report only on the local machine's SNMP database.
During installation of the software agent, you can select which version (workstation or server) is installed. It doesn't matter which version of Window is installed on the computer. For the server version of the software agent, you can use the network-based alerts to monitor other devices on the network. The SNMP options include several metrics for major vendors (e.g., Adaptec, APC, Dell, HP Jetdirect, HP Compaq, Linux, Cisco, Intel, NETGEAR, SonicWALL); in addition, you can manually add the SNMP settings for other devices. If the software agent is installed in server mode, you have much more than just a set of single host check options—you can use a single software agent to look at potentially every addressable device on the network. If the software agent is installed on a workstation, only the localhost can be monitored with SNMP. These reports can go out as scheduled status updates or triggered alerts. There's also a mobile version of the GFI MAX RemoteManagement web console that gives you a quick run-down of any outstanding alerts from your smartphone.
Several reports are available that you can configure the system to automatically send to administrators or customers via email or SMS, as in the case of an independent computer consultant. The report templates can be customized to display the appropriate branding, support numbers, hours of operation, sales promotions, etc. GFI recommends that you send some type of status update to your customers on a regular basis, not only to show them that they're actually getting something for their monthly payment (typically $1 a day per device), but also to help establish you as the logical point of contact for future problems.
In addition to monitoring, GFI MAX RemoteManagement has the ability to run some basic computer maintenance tasks. From the web console, you can add scheduled tasks to the software agents. These tasks can include disk defragmentation, clearing the event logs, and clearing the temp files. Tasks can be assigned to the entire site or individual computers. For this reason alone, you might need to set up additional sites to keep server and workstation task management separate. Patch management and remote control are also available, but these features were still in beta at press time.
GFI MAX RemoteManagement is very easy to use and deploy. It's completely reliable and flexible enough for the most distributed of environments. Future console additions include data leak prevention, managed antivirus, mail archive, and mail security. If your company or client is already paying for these features in separate products, GFI MAX RemoteManagement could come in at a very competitive price point. A free trial version of the software is available from GFI Software's website.
GFI MAX RemoteManagement
PROS: Fast, easy, flexible deployment; no large up-front starting costs; intuitive web interface
CONS: Doesn't include a multiple administrator communication mechanism or network map view
PRICE: Typically less than $1 per day per software agent; contact GFI for details
RECOMMENDATION: This product would be a great addition for anyone working at multiple non-networked locations, such as in a single-company distributed network environment, or in an independent computer consultant capacity.

What's Happening on Google Maps
Google Maps applications that display upcoming events and concerts have been coming thick and fast this month. Two weeks ago Google Maps Mania reviewed HUGE city, a map that displays nearby Facebook events, and Concert Mapper, a Google Maps based application to find and book tickets for concerts, theatre or sporting events.
Now a new Google Map has been released that can help you find out what is happening nearby, using listings from Facebook events, Eventbrite, Meetup and Upcoming. Mapify.us uses categorised map markers to show from which listing service each event comes (using the initial letter of each service). The markers are also color-coded to show whether the listed event is happening today, tomorrow or this week.

New Clarkson University Team Developing Emergency Communication Technology Receives Support from Qualcomm
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/qualcomm.jpg]
Representatives of Qualcomm were on the Clarkson University campus October 9 to lend a hand to a new student research/design team, which will demonstrate the effectiveness of new digital microwave voice and data communications in northern New York and provide students with hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.
Qualcomm Senior Vice President of Engineering Michael J. Campbell '79 and Senior Director of Product Development M. Fram Akiki '86 presented the Community Radio Team with a $15,000 donation, which it will use to set the standards for next-generation radio communications.
The Electrical & Computer Engineering Department-based group of 15 students is one of the University's SPEED (Student Projects for Engineering Experience and Design) teams.
"Qualcomm is pleased to support leading-edge communication projects that address real world issues," said Akiki. "We believe this will be a great learning opportunity for the students and will hopefully benefit local communities as well."
The new communications technology involves D-Star, an open-source system of 1.2GHz digital microwave communication for voice and data developed by the Japan Amateur Radio League.
D-Star could provide a digital system of transferring secure data at high speed between emergency services and local hospitals. Currently only analog voice communications are available. High speed data applications would include sharing of non-text files (such as medical images) and the ability to handle Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VOIP) in the case of landline communications disruption.
Ultimately, D-Star could allow all of the hospitals in St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties to communicate not only with each other, but with the rest of the outside world in case of emergency or disaster, especially during times when conventional means of communications are unavailable.
"This is another good example of how our school focuses on the theme of 'Technology Serving Humanity,'" said Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering Dean Goodarz Ahmadi. "The University and North Country community will also benefit from economic development associated with access to high-speed data communications, as well as for broadcasting entertainment events like cross-country races, winter carnivals, etc." "Hands-on experience assembling this system will be good practice for engineering students interested in the radio communications industry," said Electrical & Computer Engineering Prof. Paul B. McGrath, team advisor. "With electronics engineering technology moving into the gigahertz range, students need hands-on opportunities to work with signals in the microwave spectrum."
D-Star defines two modes of communications: Digital Voice (DV) and Digital Data (DD).
DV allows simultaneous voice and low-speed (1kbps) data communications over a single wireless digital data stream. DD allows for broadband-speed data service (128kbps) over amateur radio. The DD mode of operation is a new frontier for amateur radio, allowing amateur radio to function in a mobile Internet style of connectivity, with high-speed data communications.
Local amateur radio operators, including Clarkson alumni, will provide guidance, assistance and mentoring in the construction, interconnection and testing of the system. "This will allow not only a partnership regarding the technology and its application, but it will provide opportunities for students to be mentored regarding education choices and careers," said McGrath.
The Clarkson University Amateur Radio Club, K2CC, will comprise the initial members of the research team, but all students, faculty and staff will be welcome to join.
Future projects will involve assisting surrounding campuses in installing similar systems to expand the network throughout the region.
The SPEED program is one of the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering hallmark initiatives, exemplifying Clarkson's "defy convention" approach to education. SPEED promotes multidisciplinary, project-based learning opportunities for more than 350 undergraduates annually. Projects involve engineering design, analysis, and fabrication. In addition, students learn real-world business skills, such as budget management, effective teamwork, and communications skills.
Headquartered in San Diego, Calif., Qualcomm Incorporated is a leader in developing and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services based on CDMA and other advanced technologies. For more information, please visit http://www.qualcomm.com.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

I don't know why, but I'm one of those guys who will wear out that Sunday sports page analyzing whether a guy has a legitimate shot at hitting 40 homers or passing for 4,000 yards "at his current pace." I guess you could say I'm a "stataholic."
The same goes for deer hunting statistics. I simply cannot get enough of them. Thankfully, today's deer managers are doing a great job at compiling annual statistics. I recently ran across five new ones that I think are downright amazing. Perhaps you will, too.
1. The Perfect Season
Alabama hunters were the safest in the country last season. For the first time in 33 years, the state recorded no deer hunting related fatalities, including no deaths from accidental shootings or falls from tree stands. That's even more impressive when you consider the fact that Alabama is home to more than 200,000 deer hunters.
2. City Slingers
Two limited-access hunting areas account for nearly one out of every 25 bow-kills in Minnesota annually.
Last year, 195 bow-hunters shot deer during the City of Duluth's special bow season. Those hunters registered 564 deer (2.89 deer per person). The other hunting area, Fort Ripley in the north-central part of the state, accounted for 516 bow-kills. Amazingly, only 25,350 deer were taken by bow-hunters in the entire state last year.
3. A Three-Peat
Three all-time state records fell in Missouri in 2006. Hunters there notched new high marks for gun harvest (280,732), bow harvest (41,097) and overall harvest (321,829).
4. Dixieland Delight
Thanks to liberal daily bag limits, Alabama and Georgia rank as No. 1 and 2, respectively, on the list for the nation's best bow-hunting success rates.
With 62,000 hunters taking about 55,000 deer per year, Alabama holds the top spot with an 88 percent success rate. The harvest success rates in other top bow-hunting states include: Georgia, 45 percent; Wisconsin, 41 percent; Pennsylvania, 40 percent; Illinois, 38 percent; Missouri, 25 percent; and Pennsylvania, 23 percent.
Vermont is the most challenging state in which to tag a whitetail while bow-hunting. On average, only 15 percent of that state's archers fill a tag. Maine ranks a close second at 16 percent. Interestingly, Texas also ranks near the bottom, with just an 18 percent success rate.
5. Bow-Hunting Champs
Whoever said bow-hunting will never be a viable tool for managing whitetails has obviously overlooked archery-rich areas like Waupaca County, Wis.
Waupaca County archers killed a 5,499 deer — 1,343 bucks and 4,128 does in 2006. Even more impressive, however, is that total breaks down to a staggering harvest of 8.8 deer per square mile of habitat. That's on par with county-wide gun-hunting harvests in many states!

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The FBI investigation of California state Sen. Ron Calderon involves legislation he introduced for a Los Angeles-area water district that uses his brother as a consultant, according to two people questioned by federal agents.
Agents raided a state senator's two offices on Tuesday but the FBI wouldn't provide details on the investigation, which originated in Southern California. Two people told The Associated Press on Wednesday that they were questioned by the FBI about Calderon and his brother, Tom.
Michael Franchek, former vice president of EcoGreen Services, said agents contacted him twice and they discussed a deal his company lost out on to a firm linked to Tom Calderon, who was also a consultant for the Central Basin Municipal Water District.
And a Los Angeles-area elected official said agents asked him about legislation written by Ron Calderon for Central Basin. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Agents spent more than six hours Tuesday searching the main office of Calderon, a Democrat from the Los Angeles County city of Montebello.
The FBI also searched a separate office assigned to Calderon in the Legislative Office Building across the street from the Capitol, said the Senate's chief sergeant-at-arms, Tony Beard.
Beard previously said the second site was home to the Latino caucus. He clarified Wednesday that the Latino caucus moved into new offices earlier this year and its previous office is assigned to Calderon.
Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI office in Los Angeles, said the investigation was in its early stages and no arrests were imminent.
Calderon's spokesman, Rocky Rushing, said he could not comment and referred calls to Los Angeles attorney Mark Geragos. The lawyer did not return a telephone message Wednesday but previously said his client has done nothing wrong.
Geragos said he does not know what the FBI is investigating or whether the investigation includes others.
The search warrants, issued through the federal court in Sacramento, remained sealed, as did Calderon's Capitol office. A white sign on the office door read, "DO NOT ENTER. Call sergeant-at-arms."

After ousting the left wing of the party, represented by Gregor Strasser , Hitler, once in power, secured his position by the
Blood Purge (June, 1934) of SA leader Ernst Roehm and others who might challenge him. Loyal Nazis were placed in positions of authority within the government and eventually came to control it. A corporative state was established in which labor lost all rights and was even regimented in its recreation by the
Strength through Joy movement. Youth, schools, and the press came under repressive control. The books of
undesirable authors were repeatedly burned.
Germany was divided into party districts; the Gauleiter [district leader] in effect superseded the state government. The judicial system was reorganized, and special courts were established to deal with political offenses. Nazi ideology was enthroned as national law, and Nazi methods replaced rational legal procedure. Anti-Semitic legislation (the Nuremberg Laws) forbade intermarriage with Jews, deprived Jews of civil rights, and barred them from professions. Other laws similarly barred Communists.
A German Christian Church was set up to control Protestant churches; its chief opponent, Martin Niemoeller , was arrested. The Gestapo (see secret police ) tracked down political opponents, Jews, and other undesirables; their internment in concentration camps was often a prelude to their murder, particularly in the case of the Jews after the start of World War II. Medical
experiments, some of them conducted to prevent the reproduction of Jews and
misfits, maimed thousands more.

GRACE's Food Program, Sustainable Table, celebrates sustainable food, educates consumers about food-related issues and works to build community through food.
Sustainable Table was established as a program of GRACE in 2003, and quickly became the leading sustainable food resource for consumers. In addition to providing detailed information about key issues, Sustainable Table offers tools and resources to help people make better food choices, empowering them to change the food system as savvy consumers and well-informed advocates.
The new GRACE website includes all the great information from the original Sustainable Table site, along with brand new content and a fresh, easily navigable layout. Be sure to visit our Issue Pages for details about pressing food topics, In the Kitchen for recipes and tips for buying and cooking with sustainable foods, and Take Action! to learn how to effectively advocate for a better food system. The new site also integrates GRACE's Water and Energy Programs, enabling us to more effectively demonstrate the interconnections among these issues.
Sustainable Table's projects include:
Eat Well Guide – a free, online directory of farms, stores, restaurants, CSAs and other sources of sustainable food throughout the US. By simply entering a zip code, users can find sustainable food locally or along a route when traveling. The Guide includes 25,000+ handpicked listings and was created in conjunction with local and national sustainable food organizations.
The Meatrix – a series of humorous videos that educate viewers about the problems created by factory farms. Produced by Sustainable Table and Free Range Studios, the first movie was released online in November 2003 and immediately went viral, breaking new ground in grassroots advocacy. The Meatrix and its sequels, The Meatrix II: Revolting and The Meatrix II½, have been translated into 30+ languages and boast over 15 million viewers worldwide.
Ecocentric – GRACE's blog, which covers food, water and energy issues. Sustainable Table staff members regularly contribute articles, interviews, news briefs, photos and videos to keep you informed about the latest developments in food and agriculture.
As we celebrate Sustainable Table's tenth anniversary, we're thrilled by how far the good food movement has progressed, and couldn't be more excited to continue promoting the transition to a sustainable food future.

About Julia A.Close
I tutor grade school kids and increase their interest in the subject, be it reading, writing or math. Keeping the child interested in what they are learning and curious to learn more propels them toward higher learning in the future.
About Julia
My instruction extends nationwide, with students from all corners of the US, utilizing online tutoring services such as Skype.
My main field of study is in MATH (trig, algebra, geometry, precalculus), CHEMISTRY (high school and college), and PHYSICS (high school and college).
I completed my Bachelors in Physics and Mathematics Education at Hunter University and have gained experience with both in-person and online group instruction and curriculum development.
Some examples of the students I have tutored are: Elementary school students preparing for State competitions and exams; High school and College students in preparance for entrance exams, and in subjects such as algebra, geom
I do Regents and SAT/ACT prep for these subjects as well as the GRE (These are NYS based High School Preparatory Exams - do not hesitate to ask should you need assistance with the ones offered in your state/country).
In addition, I am thorough and meticulous, by paying special attention to how the student grasps information and retains it, I prepare individualized handwritten reviews, with supplemental material found online and in texts.
I assign homework to keep my students ahead of what is going on in class, and a visual and intuitive understanding of the concepts I present is important to me, so I use visual aids (diagrams and interactive models) to help my students integrate what they learn with me in real life situations.
My instruction includes:
1. Tutoring based on the school curriculum
2. Instruction on the home-schooling curriculum
3. Assisting those with a gap in going back to school/university.
I start with an assessment based on what the student has trouble with or last remembers covering in school, and prepare material going from there.
As a result, my students all have improved grades without any need for cramming before tests, and I encourage a stress-free and easygoing learning environment.
My lessons are fun and enthusiastic - these subjects are beautiful and will help open your mind to new ways of thinking - whatever your field of study!

I see marked improvements in their grades for this past year, and my eldest is actually skipping fourth grade as a result of lessons. I am astounded as to my girls' progress, and greatly appreciative of our tutor's expertise.
Her patient, methodical approach to teaching is why I see us remaining with her for all of our educational instruction. She has already taught arithmetic to my youngest (3rd grade), and algebra to my eldest (starting 5th this sept!), and is proceeding with more advanced math with no issue whatsoever. I cannot recommend her enough.

Remember that big Destiny's Child reunion that was supposed to happen at the Super Bowl?
Not so much.
Beyonce's fellow Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams has shot down rumors of a possible reunion during Beyonce's halftime show, saying the reports are "not true."
"I'm going to be in the musical 'Fela!'" she recently told WRUG Media. "I hate to disappoint the people and tell them that it's not true."
E! Online reported Monday that Williams is headlining a world tour of the famed musical, and according to the show's website, she'll be performing at Washington's Sidney Harman Hall at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday.
Who goes to musicals on Super Bowl Sunday? Is that even legal?
Reports surfaced last week claiming Michelle and Kelly Rowland would join Beyoncé on stage at the New Orleans' Superdome Feb. 3 to perform a medley of their greatest hits. Williams said that's not going to happen.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry," Williams said. "But we did record a song with each other before the holidays."
Williams referred to Destiny's Child's single "Nuclear," the group's first new recording together in eight years, off their new album "Love Songs."

BALTIMORE, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A U.S. research institution said Tuesday there's evidence to suggest North Korea may be working on intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Washington this year severed food assistance for North Korea after Pyongyang reneged on a pledge to halt missile and nuclear tests with a failed April attempt to send a long-range rocket into orbit. Similar launches in 2006 and 2009 coincided with North Korean nuclear tests.
The U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University said information gleaned from commercial satellite imagery suggests North Korea has tested at least two rocket motors as recently as September.
"Despite its failed rocket test last spring, commercial satellite imagery indicates that North Korea continues to develop long-range missiles, possibly with intercontinental ranges," a statement posted on the institute's 38 North blog reads.
In August, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists stated the completion of a tunnel near the site of North Korea's first nuclear tests suggested Pyongyang might be preparing for another test.
Analysts at IHS Jane's Defense Week, meanwhile, had told The New York Times that North Korea made good progress on the construction of a light-water uranium reactor this year.
Enriched uranium could find its way into the North Korea nuclear arsenal. The country's first nuclear tests were believed to have used plutonium devices.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency in October said U.S. interests are within reach of North Korean missile systems.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula escalated last year following the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

moxsum needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Moxsum inc is a small internet media company. Basically we make kick ass websites in various categories.. mostly with a focus on entertainment/community type sites. We are located in beautiful/sunny Venice beach california.
I would like to portray an image of success, power, web 2.0-ish, modern, hip, yet laid back/california style all at the same time!
Hard to say.. but other web business people.. maybe some general visitors from my various websites..
So I want a clean, powerful design.. navigation links will include, About / News / Web Properties / Domain Names / Contact
The idea is to provide a website to list my network of websites and domain names in a nice way and provide info about the company, news on upcoming developments and contact info..
I only requested one page because I want the layout made, in such a way that other pages can be made easily.. rather then having a separate page made for each ... I want the logo/nav a good header, body of the page , footer.. The home page will be the about page im thinking..
I have attached the logo files (let me know if you need a diff. format).. I expect the design to match/flow with the look and feel of the logo.
I want this 1 page to be the about page which will also be the homepage.. So it will have the logo/header/nav body/footer.. and in the body section will be a couple paragraphs about the company .. maybe with a picture or two..

Hey all!
A news update, what the...?
Finally the seemingly never ending project about adding information for the characters featured in the Castle Series is completed! Find the page under More > Castle > Characters.
That page has until now been a placeholder for the past few years (I can't remember how many). People who contributed have come and gone. But I'd like to sincerely thank all the people involved in helping out making it, you know who you are. And Ecfor especially for never giving up hope on it and staying persistent. It wouldn't have happened without you.
Just to give some insight in the creation: Some parts of the bios are written by myself and other parts created by DQers. I've also modified bits and pieces everywhere. Both me and Fabian (the old original author of the series) have proof read it however and agree that what says is probably canon, although just keep in mind how it was created if you find inconsistencies or alterations/corrections in the future. It's a piece of work that may be bound to change.
In other news - I'm well aware of the lack of updates in the blog - I've been working on certain parts of the project that I'd rather not show in too much detail to avoid potential spoilers, etc. Perhaps I'll just extract isolated assets to show of or something, just for the fun. Apart from the snail paced progress of the project, I'm really happy how the results are turning out in overall thus far. Some day I'll be able to share it with you, sorry for the wait.
Take care!
- Oscar

China Reserves Right to Elect, Ordain Bishops
A Catholic lay leader from Beijing said China will continue to self-elect and self-ordain bishops. We ordain bishops only for the sake of evangelization in the mainland. Nobody can stop us, said Anthony Liu Bainian, vice chairman of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association, which acts as a liaison between the Chinese government and Catholic churches that have registered with the government. Liu told the Asian church news agency UCA News July 3 that it is up to Rome to recognize these bishops. Pope Benedict XVIs June 30 letter to the Catholic community in China described the self-elected and self-ordained bishops in China as validly ordained. But it said certain bishops among them lack a pontifical mandate and are to be considered illegitimate. Usually the elected bishop candidate would apply to the Vatican for approval after his episcopal election in China. In some cases the Vatican did not give its approval, but the fault lies not with China, Liu said, noting that he had read the papal letter three times and found it comprehensive.
Pope Seeks to Unite Divided Chinese Catholics
In a groundbreaking letter to Chinese Catholics published on June 30, Pope Benedict XVI established new guidelines to favor cooperation between clandestine Catholic communities and those officially registered with the government. The papal letter strongly criticized the limits placed by the Chinese government on the churchs activities. But on several key issues, including the appointment of bishops, it invited civil authorities to a fresh and serious dialogue. The 55-page letter was accompanied by a Vatican Press Office commentary that reiterated the Vaticans willingness to move its nunciature from Taiwan to Beijing, as soon as diplomatic relations are established with China. The letter was posted on the Vaticans Web site in several languages, including traditional and modern Chi-nese, and had been sent earlier to Chi-nese authorities as a courtesy. Through-out the text, the pope expressed his appreciation for the suffering of Chinese Catholics under Communism. He said their devotion to the faith and their loyalty to the pope will be rewarded, even if at times everything can seem a failure.
Polish Radio Priest Faces Jail for Insult
A Redemptorist priest who runs Polands largest Catholic broadcast agency faces a possible jail sentence after describing Polish President Lech Kaczynski as a crook subservient to the Jewish lobby. Prosecutors in Torun, where Radio Maryja is based, said they would consider charges against the Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk under a criminal code clause that calls for three years in jail for insulting the head of state. The priest denied making the remarks and insisted he was the victim of another provocation.
The Redemptorist province in Warsaw said July 9 it had set up a team to make a proper analysis of the existing situation after the Wprost, a weekly, published a transcript of Father Rydzyks alleged statement to a student meeting during which he also called Polands first lady, Maria, a witch. The British news agency Reuters reported July 10 that the priest is heard on a tape of the meeting criticizing the president, his brother and his wife for supporting limited abortion rights. The first lady with this euthanasia.... You witch, Ill let you have it. If you want to kill people, do it to yourself first, Reuters reported the priest as saying on the tape. Kaczynski urged the church July 10 to take action against Father Rydzyk, saying insults aimed at Polands leaders were a matter of government-church relations.
Meanwhile the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles released a letter July 16 signed by 600 Polish Catholic intellectuals condemning Father Rydzyk for his anti-Semitism.
Polish Church Commission Issues Report on Bishops
One in seven of Polands 132 Catholic bishops was registered as a secret police informer under Communist rule, but the scope of their involvement has not been fully established, said a Polish church commission. Up to 20 were registered by communist Polands security organs as secret collaborators, operational contacts or information sources, and one as an intelligence agent, while several were registered as potential recruits, the commission said in a June 27 statement. The secret police archive material presented to our commission on clergy who became bishops is incomplete and chaotic, the commission reported. It does not allow us to establish properly the scope, intensity and ultimate harmfulness of their real and conscious collaboration. The commission, which includes four priests and two lay professors, was set up by the Polish bishops conference in October. It presented its report to the bishops June 21. Archbishop Slawoj Glodz of Warsaw-Praga, liaison to the commission, said at a June 27 press conference in Warsaw that a final report would be handed to church leaders in the fall and passed on to the Vatican.
Sister of Charity Receives Award From Yad Vashem
A Catholic nun from Pennsylvania is the first non-Jew and non-Israeli to receive Yad Vashems Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education. Sister Gemma del Duca, a Sister of Charity and former chair of the history department at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pa., has been leading seminars for Holocaust education with the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial for two decades. The seminars, started on her initiative, are intended for groups of Catholic educators and clergy, primarily from the United States. According to Yad Vashem, hundreds of educators have taken part in the seminars. A native of Greensburg, Pa., Sister Gemma has been living in Israel since 1975, and she approached Yad Vashem with her idea in 1987 in response to Pope John Paul IIs call to recognize the significance of the Holocaust. Sister Gemma is the person who opened the door here to bringing Catholic educators to Yad Vashem, said Ephraim Kaye, who works with international educators at Yad Vashem.
Pope Allows Wider Use of Tridentine Mass
In a long-awaited overture to disaffected Catholic traditionalists, Pope Benedict XVI relaxed restrictions on the use of the Tridentine Mass, the Latin-language liturgy that predates the Second Vatican Council. The pope said Mass celebrated according to the 1962 Roman Missal, commonly known as the Tridentine rite, should be made available in every parish where groups of the faithful desire it. He said that while the new Roman Missal, introduced in 1970, remains the ordinary way of Catholic worship, the 1962 missal should be considered the extraordinary expression of the same law of prayer. They are, in fact, two usages of the one Roman rite, he said.
The popes directive came July 7 in a four-page apostolic letter titled Summorum Pontificum. The new norms will take effect Sept. 14, the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. An accompanying explanatory letter from the pontiff to the worlds bishops dismissed fears that the decree would foment divisions in the church or be seen as a retreat from the Second Vatican Council. The pope said the new Mass rite undoubtedly would remain the churchs predominant form of worship.
U.S. Bishops: Pope Shows Pastoral Care for Faithful
U.S. church leaders cautioned against what one called early and false conclusions about Pope Benedict XVIs July 7 document expanding the use of the Tridentine Mass and said it should be seen primarily as an affirmation of the importance of reverential participation in the Mass, whether in its ordinary or extraordinary form. Cardinal Adam J. Maida of Detroit said the apostolic letter Summorum Pontificum showed the popes pastoral care for those members of the faithful who desire to worship God with the Mass according to the 1962 Roman Missal, commonly known as the Tridentine rite. But he said Pope Benedicts decision to allow priests to celebrate the earlier form of the Mass without their bishops prior permission should not be seen as calling into question the abiding significance of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council but as a continuation of Pope John Paul IIs efforts to reach out to those who felt alienated from the church because of the exclusive use of the postconciliar ritual. Bishop David A. Zubik (newly appointed to Pittsburgh) wrote on July 7 to the priests and faithful of Green Bay, Wis., that they must be careful not to arrive at early and false conclusions about the apostolic letter. Most importantly, I wish to state emphatically that the Mass is not changing, he wrote in both letters.
Truth, Oneness of Catholic Church Reaffirmed
In a brief document, the Vaticans doctrinal congregation reaffirmed that the Catholic Church is the one, true church, even if elements of truth can be found in separated churches and communities. Touching an ecumenical sore point, the document said some of the separated Christian communities, such as Protestant communities, should not properly be called churches according to Catholic doctrine because of major differences over the ordained priesthood and the Eucharist.
The Vatican released the text July 10. Titled Responses to Some Questions Regarding Certain Aspects of the Doctrine on the Church, it was signed by U.S. Cardinal William J. Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and approved by Pope Benedict XVI before publication.
In a cover letter, Cardinal Levada asked the worlds bishops to do all they can to promote and present the document to the wider public.
Papal Medal Awarded to Former ICEL Official
At a parish Sunday Mass at Holy Trinity Church, Washington, D.C., on July 1, Bishop Donald W. Trautman of Erie, Pa., chairman of the U.S. Bishops Committee on the Liturgy, presented John R. Page with the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal. Msgr. Anthony Sherman, incoming director of the liturgy secretariat, assisted Bishop Trautman during the presentation ceremony. John Page was honored for his service to the liturgical life of the church throughout the English-speaking world.
Mr. Page was a member of the staff of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy from 1972 to 2002, and served as its executive secretary for 22 years. ICEL was established by the bishops conferences during the Second Vatican Council. It was given a mandate by those conferences to prepare the English editions of the liturgical books, as revised at the direction of the council.
Mahony Apologizes, Settles Abuse Cases
The Los Angeles Archdiocese announced on July 15 the largest church settlement of sexual abuse lawsuits to date, agreeing to pay more than 500 victims a total of $660 million. Before noon the next day, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Haley Fromholz had approved the settlement, calling it the right result. Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles again offered his personal apology to all victims of sexual abuse by a priest, religious, deacon or layperson in the archdiocese. It is the shared hope of everyone in our local church that these victims, many of whom suffered in silence for decades, may find a measure of healing and some sense of closure with todays announcement, he said in a statement July 15. Although financial compensation in itself is inadequate to make up for the harm done to the victims and their families, still this compensation does provide a meaningful outreach to assist the victims to rebuild their lives and to move forward, he said.
Greek Orthodox, Catholics Urge Pursuit of Unity
Leaders of San Franciscos Catholic and Greek Orthodox communities urged adherents of their traditions to continue pursuing mutual understanding and unity during an ecumenical litany for peace. Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Gerasimos and Catholic Archbishop George H. Niederauer capped an evening of sacred music and readings featuring themes of peace and reconciliation June 28 at St. Dominic Parish in San Francisco by lighting in unison the final candle of a candelabrum that had served as a symbol of growing unity during the evening.

The Knights of Columbus, the largest lay Catholic organization in the world, has announced that it set new records for charitable giving and volunteer service in 2006. Data from the orders annual survey of fraternal activity showed that total contributions to charities reached close to $144 million. The amount exceeded the previous years donations by more than $4 million. Of this total, the supreme council donated about $35 million; donations from other councils amounted to more than $108 million. The number of volunteer hours given by Knights for charitable causes totalled more than 68 million. Many volunteer hours were spent helping in the Gulf region after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Soon after the hurricanes, the Knights donated more than $10 million to relief efforts and continued to make donations of time and money to those affected by the hurricanes through 2006.

It was the sort of lunch break they were used to by now. Michael drove to a secluded spot not far outside the school while Shawn fondled his wife in the backseat. They were kissing very slowly, their tongues sensually moving against each other. His left hand was playing with Jessica's breasts, which

Use the following tips to control the variables most commonly encountered in garment screen printing.
Flash curing
Flash or spot curing is used to set or dry to the touch one or more ink layers before printing the next. Flashing is necessary for creating an underbase layer, controlling dye migration, printing light inks on dark garments, printing multiple colors on nylon, solidifying multicolor prints, and printing special-effect inks.
Flashing is also a crutch for many printers, used to compensate for improperly prepared artwork, incorrect color/print order, poor registration, poor ink preparation, incorrect mesh counts, and poor screen tension. Ink problems such as screen buildup and smearing with butt-registered colors are often addressed with flashing as well. In these cases, flashing simply bandages the problem and can be an efficiency killer.
Flash time, distance, and temperature are the primary control points with a given flash unit. Together, these three variables dictate the heat exposure on the ink. Finding the most efficient balance can help a printer save countless hours, reduce scrap and improve production speed.
Flash time or dwell is the main adjustment for flash curing inks. Once the flash distance and heat level are setup, the flash time is the fine tuning to bring the ink just to gel stage. The term flash curing is misleading because the goal of flashing is not to cure the ink. Flash curing is only used to bring the ink to 160-275°F (71-135°C), depending on the ink.
While common practice, excessive flashing not only wastes production time, but it also can create other problems. Over flashing, or fully curing, an underbase layer can hinder adhesion of the subsequent colors. It will also overheat the platens, which can cause ink to start gelling in the screens. The high heat can make fabrics shrink, scorch, and cause the platen adhesive to melt. Additionally, over flashing synthetics can trigger dye migration into the ink film, and some inks may shift color if the flash heat is excessive.
Flashing plastisol ink is influenced by the same variables as fully curing the print and is not a one-time-fits-all situation. Variables include fabric type and weight, shirt color, ink color, ink thickness, ink modification, room temperature and relative humidity, and platen temperature. As these change, your flash dwell will need to be adjusted accordingly to maximize efficiency.
Flash distance is measured from the bottom of the panel to the surface of the garment. The closer the distance is set, the higher the cure efficiency and production rate. It is also important to level the panel over the platens and to ensure the platens are leveled one to another.
Flash temperature can be controlled, provided the flash unit has a heat controller/regulator. Those flash units without this option run at the same temperature all the time. Generally, temperature is not frequently adjusted unless the fabric type is sensitive to heat. The distance and dwell time are the chief means of regulating flash exposure.

From the Newport Daily News, May 12, 1938
The Jamestown and Newport Ferry Company is planning to sell its old ferryboat Jamestown, which, after being placed in service here in 1923, established several records. Since 1932, the craft has been laid up pending improvements in business conditions. The Jamestown was built 54 years ago, and was named Fishkill on the Hudson. She was used at Newburg, N.Y., for service on the Hudson River for 34 years. After this period, she went to Bridgeport, Conn., and was used in excursion service as the Huguenot. Among records established here by the Jamestown was a run of nine minutes on a sick call from her dock at Jamestown to tie-up at Saunderstown. The normal time was 14 minutes. Another record was set in 1930 on the same run when the steamer carried 47 automobiles and 375 passengers.

Many Christians in Egypt looked on uneasily as Mohamed Morsi was declared the nation's first democratically elected president on June 24. The election of Morsi, chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, has fed fears that Islamists will use their political mandate to impose Islam-inspired restrictions on dress and behavior. But the new president, in negotiations with the nation's ruling military council over what powers he will be allowed to wield, quickly pledged "to be a president for all Egyptians."
"We have to accept Morsi, and now we will see what he will do," said Michel Agram, a 45-year-old worshipper at the Melkite Catholic Church in Cairo's Heliopolis district on June 25. "Not all Egypt wants Morsi. You can see that from the results," Agram said. "I would hope [Morsi] knows this and will act accordingly." Morsi won a narrow victory over Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under the ousted President Hosni Mubarak. Shafiq had been viewed as the candidate most likely to protect the interests of Egyptian secularists and Christians. He left Egypt soon after Morsi's victory was confirmed.
A statement to Morsi from the Coptic Catholic Church on June 25 praised his apparent "willingness...to work with skilled people of all groups and sectors of society to achieve the common good." It continued: "We pray that the Lord gives you success...in developing the institutions necessary for the realization of a modern democratic civil state—a state that respects the rights and freedoms of everyone and guarantees security, peace and social justice."
The declaration of Morsi as the winner of the run-off vote on June 16 and 17 followed a week of uncertainty, during which Egypt's military ruling council introduced constitutional amendments that stripped the presidency of most of its powers and disbanded Parliament, giving the generals legislative authority and oversight in the drafting of the constitution.
As a candidate Morsi promised a "civil, democratic, constitutional and modern state." He has said his administration will include women, secularists and members of Egypt's Coptic minority in key positions, pledges met with skepticism by many Christians.
"It's our tough luck to have Morsi for four years to come," said Amgad Wahby, 35, standing outside the Catholic basilica in Cairo. "[The Muslim Brotherhood] have to change their priorities in order to survive. They need to try to be lenient at the beginning, but in the future they will probably try to return to their old, autocratic style," he said.
The Rev. Rafic Grieche, spokesperson for the Egyptian Catholic bishops' conference, noted that Egypt's Christians had lived under Islamic regimes for 1,400 years. "We hope Morsi will be a just ruler," said Father Grieche. "Mubarak's time was not fair, and I do not think Morsi could be worse."
"At the same time," Father Grieche said, "the people of Islamic tendencies will be working to Islamicize the society. You don't need laws to do this. It can happen in day-to-day life," when for example, an employer might opt to hire a woman wearing a veil rather than one who does not.
"I'm disappointed, but I am not afraid," Farah, 17, another worshiper at the Melkite Catholic Mass, said. "God is there to protect us; life will go on. If the worst happens and they try to make changes, then we will object. We will start another revolution. We won't just give up."

BCTC Awarded $10,000 Grant to Assist Transfer Students
Three faculty and staff members from Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) developed a grant proposal based on an idea they heard presented at the 2014 USA Funds Symposium. That idea paid off with a $10,000 grant to the college from USA Funds.
Greg Feeney, Ph.D., academic dean, Angel Clay, Transfer Center director and Dr. Jim Fenton, associate professor, ESL/Humanities, were the architects of the proposal for a completion coach that will assist fall 2014 freshmen who plan to transfer to a four-year university.
BCTC is a pipeline to the four-year universities, and we believe this new program will further streamline the transition for our students, Feeney said. Our goal is to ease the transfer process and make sure our students are prepared for the next step.
A total of 100 college ready students will be recruited to the Complete2016 program in its pilot year. The completion coach will work with this group of students during orientation and advising to create an individualized, two-year transfer success plan to map out student class schedules focusing on major and pre-major general education requirements.Additionally, the completion coach will work with each student in the program to jointly create and maintain an e-portfolio, which plans and documents student progress toward transfer. This includes the academic plan as well as extracurricular activities. Extracurricular components of the portfolio will include attendance at monthly meetings, which will incorporate field trips to four-year institutions as well as scholarship and financial aid workshops, career counseling and presentations by local industry and academic leaders.
The completion coach also will work with faculty to create learning communities (groups who are actively engaged in learning together) in at least two of the participants general education classes in fall and spring semesters.
USA Funds is a nonprofit corporation that helps students prepare for, access and achieve success in post-secondary education by providing and supporting them with financial and other valued services. USA Funds was established in Indianapolis in 1960 to help families finance rising college costs.
Over the past 50 years, USA Funds has supported a total of $247 billion in financial aid for higher education and has served approximately 22.4 million students and parents, as well as thousands of educational and financial institutions.

The Android Atlas controller specially designed by Green Throttle Games for use on the TV appears almost identical to the Microsoft's X-Box 360 controller. Green Throttle is gunning hard for the console gamer market, can this controller help them capture it?
sure they did, but it is the standard for video game controllers now. Sony would do well to rip them off on that too.
Who cares if an android controller was ripping off xbox's controller? That's MS's problem, not ours.
It looks like it but that's not a bad thing as the Xbox controller (switchable D-pad version)is my personal fav of all the systems I've owned.
PC gamers use it as well so It can't be a bad design eh?
I used to use a adapter to use a PS2 controller on a pc last gen but you had to map most of it yourself. PC Games now come with xbox controller support and that's great IMO.
