Here is the problem, I do not code enough and trying to get a solution that end user points at a zip file and returns total count of all records in each file for a one number returned value. Such as [ month of MAY count = 11,501 ]
The nuances are kicking my butt, I have tried to use Excel and VB Script it to step through and I am getting stuck, I tried in ACCESS to get active connect syntax to load all raw data then return total count, and getting stuck..
There must be a simpler way, all I need is row count total.... and world peace, but I will settle for just total record count...
given the below pseudo code steps... what would be the simplest solution?
more details...
each month a ZIP is sent
each ZIP contains files (+/- 25 files) that are exe, but with no extension
each exe unpacks to active root, 12 DAT files
can only unpack one exe at a time since each 12 DAT files has same name
the DAT files are text, fixed length and length not consistent amongst the 12, but each AR.DAT from each of the exe files has field length consistent amongst the total group of like AR.DAT files)
the important goal is to get total count of all records in ZIP file.
display as one total count
1. unzip file
(20-30 files in each zip)
2. do while not EOF
change so each file name ends in .EXE
3. create a folder
4. do while not EOF
a. step through files and
a.1. copy a file into folder
a.2. run the exe file
a.3. do while not EOF
b.1. if size is 0 bytes, goto next DAT
b.2. read each of the 12 DAT files
b.3. count number of records
b.4. keep running sum of number of records
a.4. clear the 12 DAT files
5. display running sum results of total records in each dat in all files

Fitchburg-Lonsjo Classic Preview
Courtesy organizer
Fitchburg, Ma - Nearly 900 athletes from across the United States and around the globe are gathering to compete in four days of grueling competition this week, as the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic takes place in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
In these days of big-money 'corporate' races like the Wachovia U.S. PRO Championships and the T-Mobile Invitational, the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic is a throwback to another time - not in terms of professionalism (it's as well-run as any cycling event in the country), but in attitude. First held as a single-day race in 1960, the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic has evolved into one of the top half-dozen stage races in North America, and has done so while remaining true to the spirit of the man for which it is named, the late Art Longsjo.
Back in the mid-1950s, bicycle racing in the United States was a completely different animal than it is today. There were no professional cyclists, no corporate sponsors, no big prize lists; it was sport for the pure love of it. And if ever there was a man who epitomized pure love of sport, it was Art Longsjo. A native of Fitchburg, Longsjo was a champion speed skater (he would go on to represent the U.S. at the 1956 Winter Games) who discovered cycling as a means of cross-training before the phrase even existed. He did his first race in 1953: wearing a t-shirt, cut-off skating tights, and moccasins, Longsjo stunned onlookers by winning all three events he competed in at the Massachusetts State Championships. It was the start of a brilliant career, one that would see him win the 170-mile Quebec-to-Montreal (the longest amateur one-day race in the world), just miss the medals at the National Championships, and qualify for the 1956 U.S. Olympic Cycling Team - becoming the first person of either gender to compete in both the Winter and Summer Olympics in the same year. Yet it was the way that he went about pursuing his twin loves of cycling and skating that really sticks in the memory. Without sponsorship of any kind beyond funds raised by his numerous friends in Fitchburg, Longsjo worked several jobs and lived a very frugal existence in order to make ends meet - a fine example for athletes of any era. So it was all the more tragic when, as a friend of his was driving him back from a race in Canada in 1956, the car Longsjo was traveling in crashed into a utility pole; Longsjo suffered a fractured skull and massive internal injuries, and passed away that evening. His death left the town in shock- by 1960, the community had dedicated a memorial to Longsjo in downtown Fitchburg, and his teammate, Guy Morin, founded the race which today bears Longsjo's name.
Since that first edition, some of the greatest champions in the history of the sport have visited Fitchburg, including the likes of Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond, fellow speed skaters-turned-cycling stars Eric & Beth Heiden, and 1992 Olympic champion Kathy Watt. But the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic, for all its history and prestige, hasn't really changed, according to race promoter Dr. Ray Wolejko: "This classic event is about sport as we wish it could be. Eight hundred and sixty two athletes have signed up for four days to test themselves against their peers. Their results will be determined by their training, preparation and will. Success in this type of racing is not driven by money or glory but by what you have inside of you. Each racer will hopefully leave here a little more connected to all the great cycling champions of years past."
And speaking of champions, both the men's and women's fields are, as always, loaded with talent. Though the majority of America's professional teams are represented in the field, the Pro-Elite Men's event is expected to be a three-horse race: Saturn versus Navigators versus Prime Alliance. Defending champion Chris Horner is leading an 'A-squad' that includes Tour of Langkawi winner Tom Danielson, plus 'locals' Tim Johnson and Mark McCormack (the new U.S. PRO Champion). However, arch-rival Navigators has its own former winner, 2000 champ Henk Vogels, heading up an entry that also includes 2000 Olympic gold medalist Marty Nothstein and New Zealand climber Glenn Mitchell. But it could be the third team, not-so-dark-horse favorite Prime Alliance that ends up on top. Last year's second place finisher Danny Pate returns with a full complement of riders willing to give it their all- and when a racer has domestiques like former Euro-star Jonathan Vaughters and Tour of Connecticut winner David Clinger at his beck and call, anything is possible.
In contrast, the Pro-Elite Women's race looks to be- at least on paper- completely up for grabs. The French-Canadian duo of Lyne Bessette (Saturn) and Genevieve Jeanson (RONA), who have split the past four editions of the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic between them, are not in attendance due to a conflict with the Canadian National Championships, so there isn't a woman in the race who has won it before! However, as is more often than not the case in U.S. women's racing, Saturn looks to have the upper hand with the one-two punch of Nature Valley Grand Prix winner Katie Mactier and 2002 U.S. National Road Champion Jessica Phillips. It won't come easily, though, as stiff competition is expected from the likes of the T-Mobile U.S. National Team, Team Basis (with 2000 U.S. Olympian Nicole Freedman), teenaged star-on-the-rise Magen Long (OBRU/The Bicycle Store) and perennial challenger Tina Mayolo-Pic of Diet Rite. And don't forget about TDS Women's Cycling, which has among its ranks guest rider Sarah Ulmer of New Zealand, who was a stage winner and third overall in the 2000 Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic.
The 2003 Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic begins on Thursday, June 26 with the Royal Plaza Time Trial. The racing shifts Fitchburg-area venues on Friday with the Aubuchon Hardware Circuit Race, then visits one of Art Longsjo's favorite places to ride- the summit of Wachusset Mountain- on Saturday, June 28. The race concludes on Sunday, June 29, with the Workers' Credit Union Criterium, which runs right past Longsjo's memorial in downtown Fitchburg.

Converts the image into pastel artwork.
- Pearlescent® / Black Pearlescent®
Creates a subtle new look with a slight softening of contrast and a luxurious pearlescent halo around highlights.

Black Pearlescent® offers all the benefits of the Pearlescent® filter in a more subtle form. Highlight flares are controlled and contrast is lowered for a more delicate effect.
- Radial Tint
Tints the image using multi-color, radially graduated filters.
- Satin® / Black Satin®
Designed with modern digital lenses and camera sensors specifically in mind to enhance the natural beauty of talent with minimal signs of filtration. This filter gently adds a minimal flare to highlights and reduces contrast while suppressing facial blemishes and wrinkles. Black Satin® offers all the benefits of the Satin® filter in a more subtle form. This filter gently controls highlights, reduces contrast and adds a grittier look than regular satin filters, while suppressing facial blemishes and wrinkles.
- Tone Adjust
Tone Adjust approximates the appearance of high dynamic range images by adjusting the tonal values. Specifically, detail is recovered

Bikinis and beach volleyball in January? Manhattan Beach was fortunate to see 80 degree weather recently and while you might not always see that type of heat wave in winter, you don't need that temperature to have a great time. You will always find that the beach, the glorious sunsets and the trio of the Shade Hotel, Rock'n Fish and the Strand House make this a memorable destination.
Whether you are on a vacation or you live in the Los Angeles area and want to do a staycation, the Shade Hotel is the destination to put you in full relaxation mode. The bonus, if you live near Shade and want to get away for a few days, is all that travel money you can spend at the countless cute shops that litter Manhattan Beach.
To make sure that you have the ultimate Manhattan Beach experience, owner Michael Zislis created his own triumphant trio right on the beach. The Shade Hotel, an experience all by itself, Rock'n Fish, a restaurant that encompasses all that is Manhattan Beach, and finally the jewel of the group, the Strand House. Simply put this is one of the premiere restaurant destinations in all of Southern California; just make sure to make a reservation.
When they came up with the term "boutique hotel" I think they might have very well been sitting in a room at the Shade Hotel. This hotel oozes class and style from the moment you walk through the front doors. The Zinc lounge stares you right in the face as you make your way into Shade, and this is anything but your typical hotel lounge, but we'll get to this later. The hotel itself does everything it can to take in that fresh beach air and sunshine. The walkway to each room is actually within the confines of the hotel but in an open-air setting, and the rooms have their own balcony, allowing you to relax and take in the Manhattan Beach scenery. Don't limit yourself to the view from the balcony; one of my favorite parts of Shade is they have complimentary beach cruisers for you to use. There is nothing like jumping on a bike and exploring the beach and all that Manhattan Beach has to offer.
Once your day is complete you will find that there is nothing more relaxing than a room at the Shade Hotel. A day vacationing can always leave you a little more tired than your actual job sometimes, and the Shade Hotel makes sure that when you wake up you will be ready to start a new adventure. The bed itself will make you never want to get up. If I was in advertising I would use the Shade Hotel as the example of why to use a Tempur-Pedic™ bed. Combining this bed with the Mascioni™ linens, you literally feel as if you are sleeping on a cloud. To take your in-room experience to an even higher level, you will find a chromatherapy lighting system and the oh so cool Heat & Glo™ Cyclone Fireplaces. If you are really in the mood to relax, hop in your private Sanijet™ two-person spa tub. Take full advantage of this! I'll just say this, wait till the end of the day to get to your room, because once you are in it, you may never want to leave.
The Shade kitchen is run by Executive Chef Greg Hozinsky, who crafted his trade in San Francisco, taking full advantage of being immersed in the culinary hot spot of the United States. Greg has taken some of the things he learned, blended them with his own creativity and then put to great use great local ingredients to craft a unique menu. The Zinc lounge, located right at the foot of the entrance of Shade, begins the day as a great place to enjoy the beach weather for breakfast on their patio, then take in lunch while watching some sports on TV, and finally, when evening hits you can dine, drink and later dance into the late hours of the night. While Zinc is as upscale of a lounge as you will find, the food that Greg created for Zinc is not in the same dictionary as lounge. The truffle short rib sandwiches are so good you are going to find yourself heading back to Zinc just to grab these anytime you are in Manhattan Beach. The rich flavor of the short rib is complimented nicely by the hint of truffle from the white truffle oil, but what really sets this apart is the honey and coleslaw. This combination of sweet and crunchy makes for a perfect compliment to the tender short rib. Make sure you also try one of the subzero martinis while you are at Zinc. It is not very often you are going to have a drink served up in a glass made of ice; I can't think of a better way to enjoy a cocktail.
Just a short walk down the road you will find Rock'n Fish and the Strand House. There is definitely no need for a car once you check into Shade, and the great part of the walk to these restaurants is that it is downhill and into the scenic view of the Pacific Ocean.
Rock'n Fish moved into the home of what was a Manhattan Beach favorite, Hibachi Restaurant. While Michael has made many changes over the years since he has moved in, including a recent facelift to kick off 2012, he has kept several of the original menu items from Hibachi so that customers will always feel at home when they visit Rock'n Fish. The classics are just the start. Rock'n Fish has a seemingly endless menu, ranging from the freshest fish around to sandwiches that are so big and flavorful calling them a sandwich is almost a sin. When you mention Rock'n Fish to anyone who has been there before you will inevitably hear them say, "You must try the oak grilled artichoke." When you hear something recommended that often, my advice is give it a try; in this case I'd have to say it is a great tip. The combination of steaming the artichoke and placing it on the grill somehow creates a multitude of flavors. You first bite is smoky, a little crisp and then you find your way into that soft and succulent heart that is bursting with garlic. This alone makes the trip worthwhile.
If you are not familiar with the breathtaking Strand House restaurant, I just have to ask: where have you been? Since opening in 2011, the Strand House has quickly become one of the hot spots on the West Coast. Of course if you are on a vacation in Manhattan Beach you will make plans for dining and more, but you will also have to compete with the Los Angeles crowd, because this is one restaurant that is worth the drive. For an in depth look at the Strand House, visit: http://tinyurl.com/42sfx6s
All three locations have an enticing drink menu, offering a wide variety of specialty cocktails and a wine list that will make any sommelier jealous. Luckily for anyone who steps into these restaurants, Michael shares his love of wine with all of his patrons by making sure that he not only has the finest wines available, but offers choices that you likely have not heard of; and the best part is that he has priced all his wine in such a way you will find it to be an incredible value over almost any other restaurant. If you happen to find Michael in the restaurant you are dining at, let him know what you ordered and he will pair up your dinner with the perfectly matched wine.
While each of these three locations is going to provide you with their own setting and characteristics, the one thing that you will find consistent is the service. It does not matter if it is the front desk staff, the wait staff, or management, each and every person knows the intricacies of not only their job, but also of Manhattan Beach, and they have this amazing ability to make you feel as if you are the only person in the room.
Southern California can make you very spoiled—beaches galore, sun and fun along with a never ending list of things you can do. The one thing that Michael Zislis did with his Manhattan Beach creations was make you remember why you can't help but love the beach and he will make you want to make sure you never forget.

There aren't many big online games that can boast a 10 year anniversary. Yesterday Guild Wars passed that milestone. It's a major milestone and as a veteran player, I couldn't resist the opportunity to walk down memory lane.
First impressions
I started playing in September 2005 whilst at university and Guild Wars was the first MMO I ever played. After cutting my teeth in pre-searing and getting used to the small number of real people there, I graduated my ranger and walked into Ascalon City.
To this day I can remember being floored by the sheer number of player characters in that city. There were so many people with their own lives and stories to tell, so many trade and chat messages going past, I felt overwhelmed and awed by how alive this virtual world was. And emotionally drained by the ruined state of the beautiful city that was in pre-searing.
More than anything, I think it is this awe that has steered my fascination with online communities.
Every game has its dramas, which I view as somewhat necessary in making an online game engaging. Guild Wars had a few of them over the years, ranging from the Thunderhead Keep monk strike of 2006 (player monks refused to help suicidal wammos through the mission), the cancellation of the Utopia campaign and the Hall of Monuments debacle (it was originally to be character based and players weren't happy).
These and other hot topics would roll around every couple of weeks and forum would blow up with pitchforks and torches. After a few of these happen and the servers don't get turned off, you pay less and less attention to the cries of "this game is dying", roll your eyes and keep going. But heck, sometimes it's fun to eat popcorn and watch people argue about pixels, and other times there are genuinely interesting debates to be had.
For the most part, ArenaNet did a good job of gathering player feedback where it was needed and channelling it into changes into the game. Utopia was cancelled for good reasons and it looks like some of it may turn up in Heart of Thorns. The Hall of Monuments was changed to be account bound. And the wammos finally learnt that not all monks are superheroes!
The Guild Wars games are full of fantastically kind, supportive and helpful people. I've met so many friends, collaborators and acquaintances through playing and participating in community activities that I've lost count. Heck, I even met my husband in Kamadan in 2007.
I think one of the main factors that made Guild Wars so good for finding likeminded people was that there were no great rewards (in PvE at least) for being optimal, people weren't forced together and yet when they did join up, perseverance was rewarded. Doing a mission that takes 40 minutes or more forces you to work through the problems you encounter 30 minutes in rather than bailing. And if you weren't in the mood for people, the heroes and henchmen were there to get your back. Like Guild Wars 2, the competition between players for resources simply wasn't there. That puts everyone in a great frame of mind, and increases the likelihood of finding someone fun to play with.
Passion and Inspiration
Getting involved in something like Guild Wars to the extent I did seeps into every part of your life. Over the years I've treated the game as an excuse to learn new skills and open doors into new experiences I might not have had.
For example, the skills I've learnt as a guild leader since 2006 are now frequently used in my job as a manager. It's remarkable how transferrable organisational skills, empathy and diplomacy can be. I've used inspiration for modifications to open source platforms to solve in game problems to help me learn new programming languages. And with the help of a Guild Wars radio show, I (mostly) overcame my fear of public speaking. Not too shabby for a hobby some still consider a waste of time!
Crazy targets
So the final point I want to hit on is the insane goals I set for myself in games after the major milestones are hit.
I had a couple of goes at the Survivor Title (obtain 1,337,000 xp without incurring a single death) before getting it, and then I could pretty consistently get it. So I thought… why not just keep going and see how high that number can go. The answer is, well, this:
I ended up dying somewhere really stupid and kicked myself about it a lot at the time!
The final crazy thing I did in Guild Wars was completely max out storage. This took me about a year to complete. The rubies and sapphires were the worst bit.
If this post has made you want to jump back into the game, the 10th Anniversary festival is currently underway until May 6th! Hop in and have some fun.

Disney and YouTube Make a Video Deal
By BROOKS BARNES
LOS ANGELES Two powerful media companies, the Walt Disney Company and YouTube, are betting that a new partnership will help them surmount separate but equally worrisome hurdles as they each strive for greater Web dominance.
The deal, set to be announced on Monday, is small on its surface: Disney Interactive Media and YouTube, a division of Google, will spend a combined $10 million to $15 million on original video series; those shorts will be produced by Disney and distributed on a co-branded channel on Disney.com and YouTube. The channel will also include amateur video culled from the torrent uploaded to YouTube daily.
But the alliance is striking because of what it tacitly acknowledges about each companys weaknesses.
Disney, currently working on yet another overhaul of its Web site, is conceding that its own brand is not a powerful enough draw among children looking for video online; YouTube is viewed as being cooler.
So in a reversal of a go-it-alone Web strategy, Disney will go fishing for youngsters on YouTube in addition to making YouTube a prominent part of its own site something that the company hopes will coax children to stay longer.
Its imperative to go where our audience is, said James A. Pitaro, co-president of Disney Interactive. He added that the idea is to bring Disneys legacy of storytelling to a new generation of families and Disney enthusiasts on the platforms they prefer.
Disney Interactive has been losing money over $300 million in the last four quarters and Mr. Pitaro, part of a new leadership team at the division, is under pressure to create Web videos that can be monetized quickly. Disney.coms traffic has also been dropping at an alarming rate. Unique visitors totaled 12.7 million in September, down from 17.9 million in June, according to the measurement company comScore. Seasonality does affect traffic to some degree.
YouTube hopes to gain something from the Disney brand as well, namely credibility among parents, many of whom arent thrilled at setting their younger children loose on a site where the videos can be ragged and provocative and the comments even more so. The company wants to compete with cable television for ad dollars by adding more professional videos.
Teaming with a Hollywood heavyweight significantly advances that goal. Studios have been reticent to provide Google with free Web material.
Its an acknowledgment that we want to work with the best brands and, yes, we expect this partnership to attract new advertisers, said Robert Kyncl, YouTubes global head for content partnerships.
Disney is an important ally for YouTube, which walks a careful line when it comes to attracting children; there is no age requirement to access the site but you are supposed to be at least 13 to register for an account. YouTube also needs Disney because it remains locked in a legal battle with Viacom, which owns the other major player in this arena, Nickelodeon, and keeps its videos (aside from some promotional material) off YouTube.
The Disney-YouTube partnership follows YouTubes announcement late last month that it planned to create dozens of channels featuring comedians, sports stars, musicians and other entertainers. It is also offering cash advances to prospective producers that totaled more than $100 million, according to people with knowledge of the plan but who were not authorized to speak publicly. The investments in the channels reflect Googles belief that the Internet is the third phase of the television business, after network TV (with a few channels) and cable TV (with hundreds).
Mr. Kyncl emphasized that YouTube intended to remain a neutral distributor and that its alliance with Disney should not be construed as an effort to move into the production business. Under the terms of the deal, Disney will produce the Web series, the first of which will be based on its popular puzzle app Wheres My Water? which features a grinning alligator named Swampy. The goal is to have eight original series in production at any given time, Mr. Pitaro said.
Disney will sell the advertising inventory and split part of the revenue with YouTube. Aside from producing the new shorts, Disney will also select amateur video to include on the channel. (Disney said it does not expect to hire any additional staff to handle these duties, relying instead on existing resources.) Video from Disney television shows will also be featured on the channel, although the company must be careful here to avoid angering cable partners by giving too much away at no charge.
Mr. Pitaro, who joined Disney last October after a stint running Yahoos media properties, pressed for the deal. He said the redesign of Disney.com a site criticized as slow, poorly organized and too promotional should be completed by fall 2012. The YouTube partnership, he said, is a very nice first step. It shows that were not thinking small.

Other Wildlife
From possums to porcupines, your home can be vulnerable to all kinds of wildlife. Not only can these unwanted houseguests cause property damage, but they can expose you and your family to potential health risks. Droppings and urine can contain disease-causing bacteria and some animals may even carry the rabies virus. Typical areas where you may find nuisance wildlife include the attic, basement, wall voids and under your deck, patio and shed.
Signs of a Nuisance Wildlife Problem
Look out for these signs that you have a wildlife in your home:
- Noises such as scratching and thumping
- Foul odors from droppings, urine etc.
- Structural damage to the exterior that could be used as entry points for the animals to get inside of the home
- Seeing unusual animal activity in or around your home
- Droppings close to or within the house
- Torn up insulation used for nesting

So was I. I meant I have experience with macs doing smooth editing from firewire devices. Hell, I used to edit on a mac via direct live firewire streams.milkmandan wrote:yeah, PC's do fine with FireWire as well, but thats not the point. I was more over referring to lighting smooth editing.Kionon wrote:Also macs do just fine with FireWire drives.
Actually, it is. Unlike me, who wants to spend money for the hell of it and buy a Mac Pro, even though I know I don't need that much power, lalalagirl does not seem to be the type to want to just throw money all over the place. So, since she wants to be reasonable with her money, she shouldn't pay for what she doesn't need. That IS the point.You are right, she doesn't "NEED" more power, but then again who does? I've seen people edit on machines way worse than her mac.
but that isn't the point.
Or maxing out as many specs as she can on her current one. I promise you, she is NOT utilising that MacBook to its potential right now, and she hasn't even maxed it. If she does max it, I'd be very, very surprised if she came back and said "wow, I see no difference at all, this." It just won't happen.If lalalagirl has, and is willing to spend more for a smoother AMV creation experience, getting a new computer will help.

managing homework assignments efficiently and with fun.
When trying to go for My Homework A+ Homework assignment, use our 6 hints and tips.
Use a desk calendar. Buy the biggest one that you can find and put it on the desk or on the wall right beside the desk. Color code different subjects, and the moment you get an assignment, move the details and the due date to this calendar. When you sit down, you can glance quickly what is due that day, what is due that week, and what is due that month. You can get the larger calendars at an office supply store.
Working with a group on any job will make the job easier, be more fun, and provide more people to perform quality control. The object is for you to find a group that fits you needs exactly. If you cannot find a group, then create one of your own. You want to decide if it is for just one subject or for all classes. You want the group who will help you and teach you while working as a unit. Get the perfect fit. You may once upon a time ask them 'Do my homework for me", and they shoul d help.
Have the proper tools that you need to complete your assignments. If you have to get up in the middle of a job to go buy graph paper, you have just stopped the flow of your work. In a dedicated workspace, stock all the items you will use while completing your jobs properly. Most teachers give a supply list at the beginning of the year; refer to that list as you shop. Don't forget to buy the electronic related things such as printer paper and ink.
If your current job involves reading, make sure to read every page assigned and then ten extra pages. The ten extra rule will make it so that you never fall behind in any reading assignments. This way if you have a particularly busy day, keeping up with the reading will not be a problem at all.
Attend school on a regular basis. If you miss frequently, you will always be playing catch up. Additionally, you will have regular and catch-up work to complete. You should always attend school on a regular basis.

This is a review about Backvin.com. Your research has found its way and you have landed on the right place.
For a fresher, the reviews of the previous customers and their comments are of extreme help. Those comments may be either indicating a sign of "beware" or a feeling of joy. Being aware of the details about a scam sites can protect the country by being scammed and deterged. Therefore this is the sole responsibility of each and every customer to raise the red flags if any. This would help the potential customers to not repeat the same mistakes. Reviews of the user customers are really valuable and can save others from being trapped in the same web. Therefore we request our present and potential readers of this article to drop their comments in the below provided section.
It should be the responsibility of every person to inspect the site very carefully in order to avoid scam. However, here we have listed some detailed points so that you can note how to avoid scam:
Whether the offer is malicious :
There are many scam sites which provide claims which are too good to be true. Likely, they will provide you unexpected, unseasonal high discounts. Such situations are out of box and create curiosity in the minds of people.
For instance, if you wish to purchase a Smartphone from an online store which may cost you nearby $800 to $1200 but suddenly you cross an online website which boasts to sell the phone at just $200. Therefore it's very obvious that the site is playing fraudulent. All they will do is invest your hard earned money somewhere.
Whether the site is secured :
Checking in an unknown site can be dangerous while providing your personal details. Therefore you must check whether address bar which is located on the upper left side corner of the site contains HTTP or HTTPS.
Fortunately if the site contains HTTPS it means that all your information like email address, password, card details are safe and protected from intervene and vindictive parties.
Though you must check whether company name is included in the URL or not. If yes then you will understand that the website is actually controlled and run by the company and not someone who wish to scam people.
Whether details are mentioned :
You must check whether the company has mentioned its details about address, contact, etc. Such details are provided in the Contact section of the webpage. After reaching with the details you can check whether they are legit details or not?
You can contact on the mentioned number for further queries and can Google the address.
Whether the site is reliable?
For you to use a site it should be reliable and unbogus. Therefore for you to inspect hackers behind the company you must review it before using. Before you buy anything or use the site in any way you must Google the feedback of the previous customers. Such comments and reviews will help you to understand the real motive of the company and the people behind it.
Whether the site is describable :
If you consider that the site looks ugly and is designed in abrupt manner then consider it as a scam site. Because you must know that such scam people do not have enough resources to develop a professional site. These sites will use irrupted English; contents will be positioned in improper manner, etc.
Remain skeptical about free trails :
There are some malicious companies who trap people by claiming to free trails. But it is observed that once you sign up for free trails the company will claim bill on you unnecessarily. Hence, we suggest that whenever you feel convinced by such things you should promptly research about the site.
Change you pass codes on weekly basis :
It is clearly advisable to revise you passwords. As there are time when we tend to click on some messages or pop up notifications which turn out to be scam. People behind such messages are dealing with fraud and hack our passwords. Hence, we advise all our readers to revise their patterns on time basis.
How to identify a Scam Online Website:
William Shakespeare's play has a famous line – 'Everything that shines is not gold', similarly not every breathtaking online shopping website is real. Before shopping from any unknown shopping website, it is necessary to search about it on Google. If no result is coming in the search or there are negative results, then never shop from such site. These sites display very good products at very low prices to entice customers. So that you get caught in their deception.
1. Type the name of the website in the search engine and observe the result carefully. If the website is coming up in the search engine and no one has made a wrong comment about it, then you can trust.
2. How secure is the connection of the website. See the security status of the website in the address bar of the browser. The https page is generally considered secure. The payment page should start from https.
3. How much the website gives the customer sport. Go to its about us section and see. Call customer care number
4. If the domain name has many dashes or symbols, the domain names are similar to other websites, the domain name has an extension .biz or .info, then do a deep investigation about them.
5. Observe the website design, language and grammar. Stay away from the site if you see a deficiency in it.
6. If the website has too many ads, then it should be doubted.
Cash on delivery option:
Many times we get caught in the cycle of cash on delivery option in the guise of fake looking website. For example, suppose a mobile phone of Rs 40000 is available for Rs 5000 and there is an option of cash on delivery. In such a situation, one can think that if you order, if it comes then it is okay, if it does not come then there is no loss. But maybe during ordering, your phone gets hacked or data is stolen. Therefore it is good to stay away from suspicious websites.
These sites can harm you in two ways. They may take online payment from you and the delivery of the product is never done. Secondly, they can steal your bank account details and other important data. Such fake websites usually reach you through Facebook and Google Ads.
In all the above bullet points we have showed you various back out options from scam.
In any case you are dealing with queries or confusion about the above content then please feel free to comment in the section below. Experience holders are most welcome to share and acknowledge their views and opinions.

LOS ANGELES/MIAMI (Reuters) - On Monday evening, U.S. cable network Fusion will launch with interviews of President Barack Obama and Republican Senator Ted Cruz. Later that night, four puppets will provide commentary on current events during a news chat show.
A joint venture between Walt Disney Co's ABC and Spanish-language media company Univision Communications Inc, Fusion will blend hard news, satire and pop culture to do something other cable news networks have largely failed to do: lure "millennial" viewers, 18 to 34 years old.
The target demographic for the new English-language channel is several decades younger than the audiences for CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, which pull in viewers with a median age of 60 or higher, according to media research company Nielsen.
The new channel will also test the market for TV news developed for Hispanics, the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, but delivered in English rather than Spanish.
Fusion is aiming for young Latinos, though executives say they hope the network will appeal more broadly and promise a diverse perspective. Some of its programming will feature a heavy dose of humor, a bid for viewers who keep up with current events through shows like "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
Alongside newscasts with more traditional formats will be programs like "Sports Talkers," a satirical show hosted by members of the Harvard Sailing Team, a comedy troupe.
"News doesn't necessarily have to be boring," Fusion Chief Executive Officer Isaac Lee said in an interview from the network's Miami headquarters, explaining part of his strategy for Fusion.
Drawing viewers to a new cable network is not easy. Even media mogul Oprah Winfrey, with millions of loyal fans, struggled to establish an audience in the early days of her channel, OWN. Al Jazeera America has seen low ratings since the English-language news channel launched in August.
Fusion will start in 20 million homes, a fraction of CNN's 99 million, with a goal of reaching 60 million within five years, ABC News President Ben Sherwood said.
"The business model has been built around experimentation and growth," Sherwood said, with an eye toward positioning the network for the coming demographic changes. Looking ahead 35 years, "one in three Americans will be Hispanic, and Fusion has first-mover advantage in this space," he said.
About 53 million Hispanics live in the United States, accounting for about 17 percent of the population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That number is projected to rise to 133 million by 2050.
U.S. Hispanics are younger than the country's broader population with a median age of 28, compared with 37 for the nation overall, according to Nielsen. The median age of a Univision prime-time viewer is 39.
But other cable news networks such as CNN and MSNBC have not found a way to get large numbers of millennials to tune in. "We just don't have any evidence, despite a lot of people talking about millennials, that they are craving news on cable television," said Merrill Brown, director of the School of Communication and Media at Montclair State University and a former media executive who helped launch cable news network MSNBC.
Some millennials prefer online video options such as Netflix, and constantly check their mobile phones and computers throughout the day, digesting headlines on Twitter and Facebook. Fusion's Lee said the network will engage its audience through its website and social media, then provide context and in-depth reporting on television, along with comedy.
"When (millennials) get to a television and they see a show, they expect much more than just the breaking news," Lee said. "They would like to have the interpretation and the context of what happened."
Fusion will also provide edited-down content online, such as clips of the interviews with Obama and Cruz, the Texas senator who is a favorite of the conservative Tea Party, via its website, Fusion.net.
Univision is responsible for developing Fusion's programming and will deliver the news from a 150,000-square-foot (14,000-square-meter) studio in Miami, nicknamed "Newsport," that will combine the newsrooms of Univision and Fusion.
Jorge Ramos, one of Univision's two longtime news anchors, will present the nightly news in Spanish at 6:30 p.m., before ditching his tie, and at times going for jeans and a sweater, to host a new one-hour show on Fusion at 8 p.m., called "America with Jorge Ramos."
A youthful-looking 55-year-old bilingual, Ramos said his Fusion show will stick to a traditional news format with an emphasis on Latin America and domestic U.S. themes of interest to Hispanics.
"I'm saying it's going to be news with an accent," he said. "Young people are more into this global economy. Millennials are really engaged with issues such as the environment and technology."
Ramos complains politicians ignore the Hispanic population except at election time. Last year he famously grilled Obama for failing to make good on his promise of delivering immigration reform in his first term. Fusion, Ramos said, "is giving us the possibility to be part of the national conversation."
In addition to "America," the evening lineup will feature an interactive show with Derrick Ashong, a talk show host and musician who was born in Ghana and raised in the Middle East and New Jersey. Greek-American comedian Yannis Pappas, popular on YouTube, will be part of Fusion's morning show.
David Javerbaum, an Emmy-winning former writer for "The Daily Show," was hired to develop prime-time comedy programs, including a half-hour news comedy called "No, You Shut Up," featuring the four-puppet panel as commentators.
Fusion will turn to ABC reporters for news from around the world, and for special events such as election night coverage. The Disney team will handle ad sales and distribution for Fusion, bringing the ability to sell it to cable operators in a package with its popular sports channel, ESPN.
ABC also provides a platform to promote Fusion. Last week, Fusion anchor Alicia Menendez guest-hosted ABC talk show "The View," weighing in on topics from a Los Angeles school district plan to separate students based on their fluency in English to reality television star Kim Kardashian's engagement. Ramos has been a guest on ABC's "This Week" hosted by George Stephanopoulos.
Fusion is hoping to cash in on advertisers' awareness of the growing purchasing power of Hispanics, estimated to rise to $1.5 trillion by 2015 from $1 trillion in 2010, according to a 2012 study by Nielsen.
Advertisers may still take some persuading to break with a long-held tradition of reaching Hispanics in Spanish.
About 56 percent of Hispanic adults speak primarily Spanish at home, compared with 40 percent who speak primarily English.
"The mantra of Spanish to reach Hispanics is still very strong," said Arturo Villar, publisher of Hispanic Market Weekly. "A lot of advertisers are afraid of trying to do it in English."
The concept of providing either bilingual or English-language content for the Hispanic market is gaining traction, said Joe Zubizarreta, owner of the Hispanic agency Zubi Advertising, based in Miami.
"It is still not at the levels where we are seeing major ratings in any of the networks that are doing it, but there is a lot of positive momentum from the millennials standpoint," he said.
Fusion's timing may be right, said Luis Miguel Messianu, who heads Alma, a multicultural ad agency in Miami. He pointed out that U.S.-born Hispanics now account for more growth in the Latino population than immigrants.
"Culture is the new language," Messianu said. "The decision of language is secondary. It's about common bonds more than demographics."
The name Fusion is a smart choice, he added. "It's all about fusion. Everything is like a mesh, it's happening in music, fashion, sports and food, the boundaries are not as clear."

Google keeps updating its algorithms, which puts the entire world of the internet on a tailspin. Every time they update their blog or put out news across the media, website owners scramble to learn about it or ask their SEO experts. It creates a dog dash and the dust goes flying. No one knows what to do until it settles.
But, that's why SEO experts are so useful. The thing about SEO is that the same strategies have been effective for years. Google changes certain parts of its algorithm to make sure results aren't getting beat by black hat techniques.
Some of these black hat techniques are still lingering because some self-proclaimed SEO "experts" are effective at pushing them on legitimate online business owners. There used to be a time when stuffing keywords in the background the same color as the page would work. It didn't matter what was on the page as long as the meta tags and those stuffed keywords were in sync.
Google's spiders would grade a website quite high when it utilized this strategy. Now, it goes down to the bottom of the list in half a second. Can you believe some black hat strategists still utilize this technique?
There was also a time when link exchanges worked rather well. Everyone wanted their link on your site to go to their homepage. But, they would shove your link to the back of their website where all the other links were. Google found a way to penalize for this as well.
What is still being utilized today is article spinning. Plenty of so-called SEO "expert" will push article spinning as if it's fresh content. An article is written, there are ten different variations of that article that are rewritten and they get distributed to every content farm across the net. Google has found a way to penalize for this too!
But when an SEO Expert knows what they are doing, they know how to find high traffic keywords that have low competition. They know how to get you to rank for those keywords, which produces quality traffic at low cost. In fact, the traffic itself should be free. It should come organically from the search engine. What you are paying for is the expertise of the SEO expert!
Fresh content is always key! No more article spinning. But, think of it as adding to the discussion on the internet. Provide quality content that identifies a problem and provides a solution. That's why DIY Project articles are so hot these days. Even if the project is how to jump a car, how to make stained glass windows, or how to build a bookshelf, interested internet surfers will eat it alive. Other fresh content that works great is new information, new ways of doing things in your field, opinions about trends that can affect the future and other such articles.
Just remember that your page source and your on-page content should be of one message. Meta tags like keywords and descriptions should match with the words you use to describe your product or services on the page itself. Then, there are methods to decreasing your websites load time. That's pretty important if you want people to stay.
If you have done your job right, your traffic will come to your site with credit card in hand ready to buy what you're selling. That should be your SEO Experts bottom line. If they know what they're doing, they will lead you in the right direction no matter how many changes Google makes!

Too Magnanimous
This sort of change was too unexpected for Xuan Tian Ye. The sudden feeling of rebellion was something that he could not accept. The hand that had been holding his wheelchair in place disappeared, and the wheelchair slid back; however, nobody was there to stop it.
In the end, he was still Xuan Tian Ye. When there was nobody to stop the wheelchair, and 20 thousand soldiers had suddenly rebelled, he suddenly realized the main problem and the key person. He suddenly turned around and found that his advisor of over ten years had disappeared. Even the ramming of the gate had stopped. The wooden stake was placed on the ground, and they had pointed their weapons at him. They looked at him in the same way that a cheetah would look at prey.
Only then did Xuan Tian Ye realize that it was time for him to feel afraid. This sort of fear was different from the worry that he had felt earlier. The feelings of worry were just guesses. As long as there was no judgment, there would always be a chance. But the fear now was completely smothering. There was no chance of turning around.
That's right, there was no turning around. He understood his ninth brother too well. Xuan Tian Ming never did anything without a grasp on the situation. As long as he was determined, it was definitely something that could be accomplished. He had spent a full three years raising this army of 20 thousand a little bit at a time. His expenses were enormous. It was all in preparation for the moment that he would use these soldiers; however, who knew that before he could even use these soldiers, they were no longer his.
Xuan Tian Ye felt unreconciled and raised his head angrily to ask: "When exactly did you buy out my soldiers?"
Xuan Tian Ming sneered in disdain, "Buy out? How much money would it cost to buy out so many soldiers? Our Heng Heng said that money that should not be spent absolutely must not be spent. That's why this prince did not buy out your soldiers. These are soldiers that have been swapped out!" He smiled even more wickedly, "This prince feels that Bu Cong changing out the patrolling guards is not very interesting. If we're going to play, we should do something grander. That's why this prince swapped out your 20 thousand soldiers. Third brother, this prince must thank you. You've used your supplies to support so many of this prince's soldiers for so many years. You've truly worked hard!"
Xuan Tian Ye's face had turned green. He practically immediately understood what Xuan Tian Ming had done. It turned out that these people were not the ones that he had sought out initially. Over the past few years, he had brought in people, and they had swapped them out. By the end, not a single person remained.
That's not right, the leaders were still people that he had brought in. He recognized them. But he also understood that they were not swapped out. The leaders had been bought out. Xuan Tian Ming only needed to buy out a little more than ten people to achieve his goals. As for himself, he had expended a great deal of energy to find ways to raise them. He had brought them from Gan Zhou to the capital, yet it turned out that he had actually brought in a group of ingrates!
The more that he thought, the colder his heart became. The soldiers in the capital had been swapped. What could possibly remain in Gan Zhou? No wonder Xuan Tian Ming had no fear. In fact, he hoped that he could cause a little more trouble. Either way, it was all in vain.
Xuan Tian Ye thought about it and found that there were only dead ends. In the blink of an eye, his face became greyer and greyer. This combined with the angry aura that he exuded made him look like a jiangshi. It was a very chilling sight.
Suddenly, he leaped up from the wheelchair with a sword in hand, stabbing straight toward Xuan Tian Ming.
To the back, Wang Zhuo shouted: "Your Highness, be careful!"
But Xuan Tian Ming did not even move. He leisurely watched the dying struggle of this person while counting in his heart: One, two three…
When he reached three, the person that had been soaring through the air suddenly dropped to the ground. The sword was still in his hand, but he could not stop his body from falling. He was like a boneless fish. His legs sagged, and his hip became dislocated. Even his spine seemed to have become broken.
Xuan Tian ye felt himself break into pieces. None of the bones in his body were under his command. In the instant that he fell to the ground, he even found it hard to look up.
In an instant, he suddenly realized that the damage that Feng Yu Heng had done to him at that time was far more severe than he had imagined. He also realized that when Feng Yu Heng had taken the initiative to treat his injuries, it was definitely not just so that he could sit in a wheelchair for his wedding with Feng Chen Yu. She had treated his injuries precisely for this moment. It was just to give him the impression that he could move; however, as long as he exerted any strength, rushed forward or attacked, all of his bones would become scattered, and he would become soft like mud.
Xuan Tian Ye had always believed that he was the most sensible of the princes and that he was the one with the greatest forethought. He also thought that he was the most patient, and he believed that he was the one with the most dignity and ambition. But in this instant, all of the confidence that he had during his life became like his bones and scattered.
What ambition did he have left. In the end, he could not even compare to a girl that was in her early teens. He could not beat her in a fight! He could not beat her when it came to plans! After all of these competitions, not only had he paid in money, he even ended up completely battered.
His eyes gradually revealed a trace of despair and resignation. Glaring at Xuan Tian Ming with a feeling of unwillingness, he suddenly thought of an idea. He could not stand nor move, but he still had a tongue, and he could still speak. He could use the vilest words that no man could endure to continue attacking.
He suddenly laughed, glaring at Xuan Tian Ming, he used a cursing tone to say- "Da Shun's ninth prince? Ninth lord? Prince Yu? Hahaha! You're just a coward that relies on a woman! It's your woman that has curried favor time and time again with father Emperor, whether it was saving people's lives, producing steel or helping with the flood, but what about you? You just stand behind her butt and pick up the cheap victories. Old ninth, oh old ninth! Are you still a man?"
Using such vulgar and unbearable words to attack the other's virtue, Xuan Tian ye believed that no man could endure such a thing. Moreover, this was the proud and willful ninth prince! In his memory, this old ninth would get upset if it was said that he relied on the Emperor or imperial concubine Yun, not to mention his wife. He still recalled when this guy was ten-years-old, he had lost his temper and had knocked out old fourth's front teeth because he had said, "If it was not for father Emperor favoring your imperial concubine mother, how could you have so much glory." Today, he had humiliated him by questioning his manhood. Even if he was beaten or even beaten to death, he was willing to accept it. He just wanted to see Xuan Tian Ming lose it in anger.
Thinking of this, the anger in Xuan Tian Ye's eyes became even more profound. He was waiting, waiting to see if Xuan Tian Ming would explode. He was waiting to see if he was willing to lose face in front of so many people.
Just like this, he waited. He waited for a long time; however, he heard the person sitting on the horse suddenly begin to laugh. It was not the explosive losing of his temper that he had expected. In fact, this laugh seemed to be very sincere rather than ice-cold. Finally, the laughing came to an end, as he heard Xuan Tian Ming say: "Many thanks, third brother, for the praise. Our Heng Heng's abilities have been acknowledged by third brother is truly difficult to come by! This prince must also thank third brother on her behalf. I understand your meaning. To be able to have such a fierce woman be willing to become my princess is truly based on my abilities."
Xuan Tian Ye was dazed. He looked at the person in front of him with disbelief. It was as though he did not recognize him. Was this still old ninth? Why was he still acting thankful after all of those insults? But when he thought about it, that's right, no matter how fierce Feng Yu Heng was, she still followed him willingly. This was Xuan Tian Ming's greatest ability. Was he truly insulting his character?
Xuan Tian Ye dropped his head in defeat. His neck would no longer allow him to look up. He could not exert an ounce of strength from his body. As for Xuan Tian Ming, he finally got off his horse but did not look at him. He just passed by his side and said: "Carry him and throw him into the mountain prison. Wang Zhuo, follow this prince into the palace. As for everyone else, you are to remain here on standby."
Once he said this, some people immediately went forward and picked Xuan Tian Ye up. The gate that he had dreamed would be rammed open finally opened; however, he could no longer realize that dream.
Xuan Tian Ming entered the palace, and Bai Ze took control of the hidden guards outside. Together with the 20 thousand soldiers, they stood and waited for Xuan Tian Ming's orders for when he returned.
Once the gate was opened then closed, the inside of the palace looked like a different world from the outside. Wang Zhuo held his injured leg and followed Xuan Tian Ming. He saw that the inside of the imperial palace was moving as usual, and everything was in order. He suddenly felt a little flustered as though the chaos outside did not affect anything inside the imperial palace. All of the imperial guards were standing guard and patrolling the night as usual. Even some eunuchs and palace maids could be seen moving around and standing guard. He even saw a servant pass by carrying a plate of food. She saluted Xuan Tian Ming and said: "Imperial concubine Hua suddenly wanted to have some pigeon soup. This servant just had the chef prepare it." The fragrance of the food caused Wang Zhuo to feel hungry.
Xuan Tian Ming waved his hand and allowed the servant to leave then brought Wang Zhuo over to Zhao He Hall.
Ever since Wang Zhuo had been promoted, he would often enter the imperial palace, but he would mostly be going toward Heavenly Hall. Zhao He Hall was the location of the Emperor's personal bedchamber. Normal people would not be permitted there. Because of the chaos of the night, he originally thought that he would be helping Xuan Tian Ming with directing the imperial guards to protect the various people. He would then go to the various palaces to arrest everyone related to the third prince and the fourth prince. Only this could be considered chaotic, and this was the palace should look like.
But after entering the imperial palace, the tranquility had completely shattered all of his expectations. In fact, the more he walked in the direction of Zhao He Hall, the more he wondered if everything that had happened outside was a dream? But when he looked at his own injured leg and felt the pain in his leg, the feeling that everything was real came once again.
He wondered, aren't the people in the palace too magnanimous? With so much chaos occurring outside, why were they still acting as though nothing was happening? Or was it that they did not hear it? That's not possible, the gate had already been rammed until it was on the verge of collapsing. With such a grand amount of noise, even a dead person could hear it. There was no need to mention sleeping.
He was a little uncertain and asked: "Your Highness, nothing would have happened to his Majesty, right?"
Xuan Tian Ming shrugged, "What could possibly happen to him. If he's not dreaming, he's eating."
While they spoke, the two arrived in front of Zhao He Hall. The palace guard outside saw Xuan Tian ming and quickly saluted. Xuan Tian Ming waved his hand and asked: "Has father Emperor slept?"
Before the guard could reply, he suddenly heard Zhang Yuan shout in a helpless tone: "Your Majesty! You ran away again!"
Xuan Tian Ming's face turned dark. Fuck, he had guessed wrong.

Ian Mackaye interview
Journalists have spilled more than a decade's worth of ink trying to explain Fugazi.
Their policy of $5 shows and $10 CDs, their snubbing of mainstream venues and press, and, most notably, their tough stands against sexism, violence, and drugs have earned them a place beyond an industry saturated by such excesses. As allmusic.com observes, "To many of [their followers], Fugazi means as much as Bob Dylan did to their parents."
Formed in 1987 by guitarists and alternating vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, drummer Brendan Canty, and bassist Joe Lally, Fugazi rose from the ashes of some of the more established DC punk bands. MacKaye was the most prominent thanks to his self-started label, Dischord, as well as his bands Teen Idles, Minor Threat, and Embrace.
In 1998, high school filmmaker Jem Cohen (a past participant in the Virginia Film Festival, most recently for his full-length film, Benjamin Smoke), wove together an homage / documentary tribute to Fugazi from years of Super8 and 16mm footage.
Instrument is coming September 22, at 7pm, to Newcomb Hall as part of the Offscreen series. Following the film, MacKaye will speak with the audience.
I spoke with him by phone.
Talk about collaborating with Jem Cohen on Instrument .
Jem went to my high school. He was there in DC from the very beginning. We worked with him in the editing room, figuring out what and what not to use. We didn't want to portray ourselves in a favorable light, necessarily, but we did want to feel the final product was an accurate look at Fugazi.
Does the film capture the essence of Fugazi?
Yes. We finished it. A lot of people have good ideas, but we finish what we start... and that's part of Fugazi.
There's a legend that you respond to all of your letters because you called Ken Kesey in high school.
Well, I spoke to his wife, but she did answer a lot. That's the idea of punk– the accessibility. I'm happy to answer a question, but sometimes I have to avoid answering the invasive ones.
What do most kids ask?
When we're going to be in the area.
It's been almost 20 years since your days in Teen Idles and Minor Threat. Have your motivations to make music changed?
The social landscape has changed drastically, of course. I have tried to keep the music in a place that is honest. A lot of people don't understand. They have the perception that we're trying to force our rules on other people.
Critics tend to say the same thing that Fugazi is dogmatic.
Yesterday's news. The crowds are much different now than they used to be. I can imagine how 19 to 20-year-olds now can't see how we could have possibly been so vocal towards an audience. In 1989 or 1990, a gang of 40 skinheads might have been in the crowd. And those bands that didn't feel it was their place to stop them [from moshing], or were scared... Well, I for one am not going to stand and play music while people are getting hurt!
Your impressions of Charlottesville?
We last played in 1999, at Trax, and there have been people at the radio stations, college kids, who have been in touch with us all along. There's a community of people down here who seem to challenge conventional thinking. I like it.
Who are some artists or filmmakers you'd like to alert people to?
I can't really speak on filmmakers. I haven't seen a movie in nine months. I love the idea of film, but I'm so discouraged by movies now. In terms of artists, young bands are popping up around here [D.C.] with a lot of raw energy, which I like. Measles Mumps Rubella I think is very good. I don't listen to Blink 182. When I got into punk in 1979 or 80, I turned my radio off.
Were you into Bad Brains at that time?
Yeah, but they sure as hell weren't on the radio. You'll never hear Fugazi on the radio in this town [D.C.]. I don't know what radio is here.
Well, I'd blame the trend toward nationally syndicated programming.
It's destroying regional music! And even some community stations are starting to be more into career training than playing music the DJs really like. It's really a shame.
Future projects?
I've been working a lot. My philosophy of life involves keeping the lid on things, but I'm hoping the plot will thicken, so to speak.

Paradise Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Paradise there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Paradise Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Paradise. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
What Should You Look For in a Windshield Service Specialist?
One of the most intimidating things for a car owner to do is to deal with auto glass or windshield replacement. This is something extremely different from the movies, where people who drive without windows and windshields to be funny and significantly entertaining. In the real world, having a broken windshield will most likely be the reason for car related accidents, which take the lives of many people every day. These accidents have become a global concern, which is why the automobile industry has focused on safety innovation over the years. What most people do not realize, however, is that windshields are safety and precautionary measures by themselves.
They are designed to compress air inside a car in order for the vehicle's restraining systems to be effective. For example, an airbag system needs a strong and properly bonded windshield to work efficiently. If the windshield pops out because of unstable air deployment, the airbag will not be able to provide the protection needed to keep the driver alive in cases of accidents. These shields also account for 20% of a car's overall strength. Perhaps this is the reason why many governments around the world require car manufacturers to have all their models certified and meet a high threshold of strength and durability.
Selecting the best adhesive is the next step. Make sure that the ones bought are being used by manufacturers themselves in order to be assured of its quality. After these things, the new shield can now be installed. It is advised for everyone to be familiar with the procedures that the Auto Glass Replacement Safety standards Council have set, in order to ensure maximum safety. These include allowing the adhesive to set before the car can be driven again. See, cars are important parts of people's lives, and for it to be successful, a windshield replacement process requires patience and must be treated like how a sick family member is to be attended to.
How Does Windshield Repair Work? - Auto Glass Repairs Explained
With 5.1% of windshields being damaged and requiring replacement each year in the United States, it is important to know what to look for in an auto glass service technician. The first thing that must be stated about choosing a qualified technician may be somewhat cliché. However, it is important to remember that you do get what you pay for, and windshield replacement is highly germane to this point.
Ask Questions
When selecting an auto glass service provider, start by simply asking questions. Find out if the technician is NGA (National Glass Association) certified to be professionally competent in his line of work. Ask if the technician uses the auto manufacturer' recommended products. Also find out if the technician has agreed to meet the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS). Above all, be sure the technician intends to provide you with sufficient information regarding all things pertinent. The technician should provide you with some dos and don'ts, such as how much time should be allowed for the bond to cure before the vehicle is safe to drive.
Although it may sound a bit excessive, make sure the windshield is perfectly centered on the vehicle. A misplaced windshield will not provide a structurally sound passenger compartment in the event of a collision or rollover. Also inspect the weather stripping to ensure it fits tightly against the vehicle's body with no bumps, waves, or gaps. If the replacement windshield on your vehicle is not completely bonded to the vehicle, the windshield may become detached in the event of an accident, leading to even greater chance of serious injury or death.
