You can find our user documentation at docs.cpanel.net.
Before you install cPanel & WHM or cPanel DNSONLY™, make certain that your system meets all of our minimum requirements for new installations.
- This document lists the minimum requirements to install cPanel & WHM. A server that meets only these requirements may not function properly, especially when the server runs certain high demand functions.
- You must log in to the server as the
rootuser in order to install cPanel & WHM. If you do not possess
root-level access, contact your system administrator or hosting provider for assistance.
If you do not already own a license for cPanel & WHM, you must obtain one for your IP address before you attempt the installation. Each cPanel & WHM server requires its own license. To obtain a cPanel & WHM license, visit the cPanel Store.
You cannot transfer a single cPanel & WHM license across multiple servers. This action may cause cPanel, L.L.C. to lock your license. For more information, read our Legal Agreements documentation.
- The cPanel Store offers 15-day test licenses at no cost.
- If no one has ever licensed your IP address before, you will automatically receive a trial license for your IP address.
- cPanel DNSONLY requires a DNSONLY license, which the server automatically obtains during installation. If this does not occur, contact cPanel Customer Service.
Networking requirements
|Minimum requirement
A registered fully-qualified hostname that does not match any of your server's domains and resolves to a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
|IP addresses
|Ethernet device
A properly-configured Ethernet device with a static IP address and fully-qualified hostname. The system attempts to detect and set the ethernet device during the installation process.
You cannot use an IP address that a DHCP service dynamically assigns to your server.
You must disable OS firewalls before you run the cPanel & WHM installation. When the installation process finishes, configure your firewall with a third-party client. We recommend that you use APF or CSF.
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CloudLinux™, CentOS, and Amazon® Linux distributions allow you to disable the firewall for the operating system's installation configuration. We strongly recommend that you use this method.
Deactivate firewalls on CentOS, CloudLinux, and RHEL 6...
Run the following commands to deactivate the firewall:
/etc/init.d/iptables save /etc/init.d/iptables stop /sbin/chkconfig --del iptables
Deactivate firewalls on CentOS, CloudLinux, and RHEL 7...
Run the following commands to deactivate the firewall, where
iptables-save > ~/firewall.rules systemctl stop firewalld.service systemctl disable firewalld.service
You must disable Network Manager before you run the cPanel & WHM installation. The Network Manager service automates the network's settings and disrupts connections to the IP addresses that reside in the

Hardware considerations
When you choose a server, consider the following questions:
- How many sites do you plan to host?
Servers that host a large number of websites with associated email addresses and databases require more processing power, disk space, and RAM.
- What kind of web hosting do you plan to do?
You can run cPanel & WHM with the minimum requirements below, but servers that host videos, music, or high-volume applications require more processing power, disk space, and RAM.
- The cPanel & WHM installation and upgrade processes require at least 5 GB of disk space in the
- Before the installation process begins, the system checks to ensure that your server meets these minimum memory requirements. If your server does not meet these requirements, the installation process will return an error message and then exit.
Operating systems
cPanel, L.L.C. supports all of the official production release kernels for these operating systems.
We currently support CentOS versions 6.5 and 7.
- Installations of cPanel & WHM on CentOS servers must use CentOS version 6.5 or 7.
- We recommend that you use the
minimalinstaller, especially if you choose to install CentOS 7.
Click for CentOS installation instructions...
To install CentOS, perform the following steps:
Download a CentOS installer.
If you use an operating system source that cPanel, L.L.C. did not provide, you must disable SELinux.
Burn the ISO to CD or DVD, and install it on your server.
After you place the OS installation disc in your server, a prompt will ask you to test the disc before you begin the installation. We strongly recommend that you test the disc before you proceed. This test saves time if the disc is unreadable.
We currently support CloudLinux versions 6 and 7.
We strongly recommend that you install cPanel & WHM on a
basic CloudLinux installation. Certain CloudLinux features, such as CageFS, MySQL® Governor, and LVE Manager, modify cPanel & WHM when you install them. Because of this, we also recommend that you customize your CloudLinux installation after you install cPanel & WHM.
For more information about CloudLinux installation, read CloudLinux's Getting Started with CloudLinux OS documentation.
Click for more information and CloudLinux installation instructions...
- You must obtain a CloudLinux license before you begin the installation process. This license allows you to run CloudLinux and to receive patches and updates.
- You can acquire the license from your provider or from the cPanel Store. If you purchase the license from the cPanel Store, you will automatically receive an IP address-based license.
- We grant this license based on the static IP address at which you installed the operating system (OS).
- If you purchase an IP address-based CloudLinux license, the cPanel & WHM installation process automatically installs CloudLinux.
- cPanel, L.L.C. does not support the use of Xen® paravirtualization (Xen PV) with CloudLinux.
To install CloudLinux from an ISO, perform the following steps:
Download the CloudLinux ISO that matches your server's architecture.
If you use an operating system source that cPanel, L.L.C. did not provide, you must disable SELinux.
Burn the ISO to CD or DVD, and install it on your server.
When you place the OS installation disc in your server, a prompt will ask you to test the disc before you begin the installation. We strongly recommend that you test the disc before you proceed. This test saves time if the disc is unreadable.
Run the following commands:
/usr/sbin/clnreg_ks yum update
If cPanel & WHM already exists on your server, you own an IP address-based CloudLinux license, and you wish to convert from CentOS to CloudLinux, run the following commands:
wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy sh cldeploy -i reboot
We currently support Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 and 7.
- Installations of cPanel & WHM on RHEL servers must use RHEL version 6 or higher.
- cPanel, L.L.C. does not support installation on Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) systems.
Click for more information and RHEL installation instructions...
To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, perform the following steps:
If your server is on the Red Hat Network and uses the satellite subscription method, you must install the
subscription-managerpackage before you install cPanel & WHM.
Run the appropriate command below to subscribe to the Optional RPMs channel for your version of RHEL:
For RHEL 6, run the following command to subscribe to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Optional RPMs channel:
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
For RHEL 7, run the following command to subscribe to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Optional RPMs channel:
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
You may need to subscribe to additional channels to maintain all of the packages that cPanel & WHM requires.
Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ISO.
If you use an operating system source that cPanel, L.L.C. did not provide, you must disable SELinux.
Burn the ISO to CD or DVD, and install it on your server.
When you place the OS installation disc in your server, a prompt will ask you to test the disc before you begin the installation. We strongly recommend that you test the disc before you proceed. This test saves time if the disc is unreadable.
To register the server with the Red Hat network, run the following command:
You must register the server before you install cPanel & WHM or cPanel DNSONLY. If you do not register the server, the installation will fail.
We currently support Amazon Linux 1.
To install Amazon Linux, follow the instructions in the Amazon Web Services documentation.
- We strongly recommend that installations on the Amazon hyperscaler use the official cPanel & WHM AMI. That image uses the CentOS operating system.
- We do not support Amazon Linux 2, and Amazon will deprecate Amazon Linux 1 in June 2020. For more information, read the cPanel Deprecation Plan.
Operating state
In Linux, the operating system possesses several levels of operating states. Each different level represents a system configuration and allows users to access different processes.

Run the following command as the
systemctl set-default TARGET.target
For a complete list of targets, visit freedesktop.org's systemd.target article.
Disable SELinux
If your server runs an operating system from a source other than the cPanel & WHM installer, you must disable SELinux to make your system compatible with cPanel & WHM.
To disable SELinux security features, use one of the following methods:
- Use the graphical interface to disable SELinux while you configure your operating system, and then reboot the server.
Edit the
/etc/selinux/configfile to set the
SELINUXparameter to
disabled, and then reboot the server.The contents of the /etc/selinux/config file should resemble the following example...
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Make certain that the number sign (
#) does not precede
SELINUX=disabled. If a
#precedes this configuration option, the system ignores the option.
- To run cPanel & WHM on your server, SELinux must remain disabled.
- SELinux in enforcing mode does not allow cPanel & WHM to function properly. For more information about SELinux modes, read the SELinux Mode documentation.
- While cPanel & WHM can function with SELinux in permissive mode, we recommend that you do not use it. Permissive mode generates a large number of log entries.
- To check the status of SELinux on your server, run the
- Do not transfer the SELinux configuration file between computers. It may destroy the file's integrity.
Perl installation
Perl must exist on your server before the installation script for cPanel & WHM can run successfully. If Perl does not exist during installation, the cPanel & WHM installer attempts to install Perl via the
yum -y install perl command.
- If you see errors during this step of the installation process, read our Troubleshoot Your Installation documentation.
- For more information about Perl on your server, and which versions of Perl ship with specific operating systems, read our Guide to Perl in cPanel & WHM documentation. cPanel & WHM servers use multiple Perl environments.
We strongly recommend that you allow your operating system's distribution to control the system Perl installation. Do not customize this Perl installation.
When you install your operating system (OS), we recommend that you use the following filesystems:
- CentOS, CloudLinux, and RHEL 7 — Use the XFS® or
All other supported operating systems — Use an
extfilesystem (
We only develop and test cPanel & WHM on filesystems that support flock. Some network filesystems (for example, NFS) may require additional configuration in order to function properly. However, these configurations are difficult to implement successfully and we do not support them.
|Minimum size
|All supported operating systems.
Grow to fill disk (40 GB recommended, 20 GB minimum).
To host a greater number of accounts, allocate more disk space to this partition.
|CentOS, CloudLinux, or RHEL 6 or 7, or Amazon Linux
|2 GB or less
|Two times the amount of RAM on the server.
|2 GB to 4 GB
|The same as the amount of RAM on the server.
|4 GB or more
Your system's applications may require additional swap space. Consult your application's software developers or documentation for their swap space recommendations.
CentOS 7's automatic partitioning scheme is not optimized for cPanel servers. This scheme creates a relatively small home partition and a relatively large root partition ( / ).
In order to optimize space partitions for CentOS 7, we recommend the following options:
- Use your hosting provider's CentOS 7 image to install cPanel & WHM.
- Create a partition manually. For more information, read the Recommended Partition Scheme documentation for CentOS 7.
Additional partitions improve performance for some servers, especially servers with high email volume. The OS can only access a limited number of files per partition.
In Linux, an inode is a filesystem object that contains the owner, permissions, and other important metadata. Every file, image, directory, email, and symbolic link on your server requires an inode.
- On average, files on webservers are usually smaller than on other types of servers. Therefore, we recommend that you allocate more than the default number of inodes on your server's partitions.
- If you install everything on a single partition, the base cPanel & WHM or cPanel DNSONLY installation requires at least 1,000,000 inodes, plus at least 50,000 inodes per cPanel account that you plan to host.
Virtual environments
cPanel products support the following virtual environments:
|Virtual environment
|Additional restrictions
If you use a Linux bridge on a KVM server, you may experience problems with multicast routing.
|Linux Containers
|cPanel & WHM requires additional configuration to run inside a Linux Container. For more information, read our Linux Containers and cPanel documentation.
Microsoft Server® 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Server 2012 Hyper-V
|cPanel only supports the drivers and configurations that Microsoft® provides.
|Oracle VM VirtualBox, VirtualBox OSE
|cPanel & WHM detects this virtual environment and reports as functional, but we do not officially support it.
|VMware® Server, VMware ESX Server
|Xen, XenEnterprise™, XenExpress™, XenServer™
Compatible browsers
We specifically test cPanel & WHM with certain browsers to ensure compatibility. Other browsers will likely function, but may display differently or experience issues with certain features.
For a complete list of compatible browsers, visit our cPanel Style Guide's Browsers documentation.
These browsers support some email features. The interfaces in cPanel & WHM will likely function, but you may notice minor defects or inconveniences that relate to specific functionality.

A heat wave that spread from the Midwest to the Northeast tormented millions of people with blasts of 100-degree temperatures and bog-like humidity as blackouts struck neighborhoods and deaths were blamed on the hot weather.
There was little hope that Saturday would bring much relief until the evening, with the National Weather Service warning of excessive heat in several states, including parts of Oklahoma, Indiana, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It predicted "oppressive heat" with temperatures at least in the 90s.
On Friday, the mercury in Newark, N.J., reached 108, the highest temperature ever recorded there. Airports near Washington and Baltimore hit 105. Philadelphia reached 103, Boston 103, Portland, Maine, and Concord, N.H., 101 and Providence, R.I., 100. New York City hit 104 degrees, just 2 short of its all-time high, and with the oppressive humidity, it felt like 113.
In Baltimore, a homeless Dale Brown said he buys a $3.50 day pass to ride the commuter rail system to stay cool — and sober.
"I'm surprised more homeless people don't do that," he said. "That kills a lot of the day. One more day successful without drinking."
An old prison in Cranston, R.I., had to bring in portable air conditioners, fans and cold water for the 100 inmates on a cellblock with a broken AC. It had been out of commission for a month because it was so old a part had to be custom-made to fix it; the part is due Monday.
In Philadelphia, 50 of the city's 70 pools operated on 45-minute cycles to give everyone a chance to get in. Some New Yorkers were unable to take dips to cool off at some beaches in Brooklyn and Staten Island after millions of gallons of raw sewage spilled from a wastewater treatment plant.
The heat wave wafted in from the Midwest — it began last weekend and did not break until Friday in Chicago — and is a suspected or confirmed cause in more than a dozen deaths around the country. On Friday, the medical examiner's office in Chicago listed heat stress or heat stroke as the cause of death for seven people. An 18-year-old landscaper who died Thursday night in Louisville, Ky., had a temperature of 110, the coroner said.
Jake Crouch, a climatologist at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., said the heat wave is taking its place in duration alongside deadly hot spells in 1988 and 1995 that lasted a week or more.
On Friday, power supplies were stretched, and utilities were hoping that some businesses would close early for the weekend.
Con Edison in New York set a record for power demand at 1 p.m., topping a mark set Aug. 2, 2006, utility spokesman Bob McGhee said.
Several thousand New York homes and businesses were hit with blackouts, but some were quickly restored. Voltage was deliberately reduced in several neighborhoods in the city and suburbs to keep underground cables from overheating; McGhee said customers wouldn't notice.
The electrical grid that serves 13 states, mostly in the Mid-Atlantic region, set an all-time record Thursday for power usage.
Dangerous-heat advisories and air quality alerts were sent out for most of the Northeast on Friday. Richard Ruvo, section chief in New York for the Environmental Protection Administration, said: "Today is a very bad day."
"When there's more power demand, there's more power plants running, and there's more pollution. We're seeing ozone levels above unhealthy levels in the entire Northeast and Midwest, not just in the cities," he said. "On days like today, the air quality affects everyone, not just asthmatics and the elderly."
Lauren Nash, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the cities are experiencing the "urban heat island" effect.
"All the concrete and the blacktop warms up faster, so it keeps the city hotter and it stays hotter longer," she said. Overnight temperatures did not get below 80 in some areas.
New York Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith said, "The danger isn't just the heat, it's also the heat underground. Much of our infrastructure is below ground."
"It's good in tornadoes, bad in heat," he said.
Richard Karty, who teaches urban ecology at the New School in New York City, said, "If one urban area is next to another urban area, like New York and Newark, it's just going to compound both the heat and the air pollution."
Dayana Byrnes, 21, of Waldorf, Md., learned something new about herself as she worked outdoors in Washington to promote a website with free bottled drinks.
"I didn't think legs could sweat," Byrnes said.
In Manchester, Conn., the fire department sent out a vehicle to distribute cold water to road crews.
Horse races were canceled at several tracks.
But hundreds of people who lined up outside the Izod Center in Newark to audition for NBC's "The Voice" were undeterred. And in Manassas, Va., Civil War buffs said the weather — perhaps 20 degrees hotter than in 1861 — would not prevent a 150th-anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Bull Run.
George Alcox, 58, of Berea, Ohio, said the wool uniforms and muslin undergarments the reenactors wear are "not as hot as they look."
"They're hotter," he said.
Associated Press writers Matthew Barakat in Manassas, Va., Laura Crimaldi in Providence, R.I., Maryclaire Dale in Philadelphia, Alex Dominguez in Baltimore, Susan Haigh in Manchester, Conn., Samantha Henry in Newark, N.J., Johanna Kaiser in Boston, Dylan Lovan in Louisville, Ky., Karen Matthews and Colleen Long in New York and Randy Schmid, Jessica Gresko and Brett Zongker in Washington contributed to this report.

Each breast has 15 to 20 sections, or lobes, that surround the nipple like spokes on a wheel. Inside these lobes are smaller lobes, called lobules. At the end of each lobule are tiny "bulbs" that produce milk. These structures are linked together by small tubes called ducts, which carry milk to the nipples.
The nipple is in the center of a darker area of skin called the areola. The areola contains small glands, called Montgomery glands, which lubricate the nipple during breast-feeding. Fat fills the spaces between the lobes and ducts. There are no muscles in the breasts, but the pectoral or chest muscles lie under each breast and cover the ribs.
Each breast also contains blood vessels, as well as vessels that carry a fluid called lymph. Lymph travels throughout the body through a network called the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system carries cells that help the body fight infections. The lymph vessels lead to the lymph nodes (small, bean-shaped glands).
One group of lymph nodes is located in the armpits, above the collarbone and in the chest. If breast cancer has reached these nodes, it may mean that cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body via the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are also found in many other parts of the body.
Breast development and function depend on the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are produced in the ovaries. Estrogen elongates the ducts and causes them to create side branches. Progesterone increases the number and size of the lobules in order to prepare the breast for nourishing a baby.
After ovulation, progesterone makes the breast cells grow and blood vessels enlarge and fill with blood. At this time, the breasts often become engorged with fluid and may be tender and swollen.

LONDON -- I'm window shopping for shares again, and there are plenty of goodies for sale. Should I pop Meggitt (LSE:MGGT) into my basket?
Defence, aerospace and energy
The defense industry isn't as buoyant as it was, thanks to US military spending cuts. Component maker Meggitt operates in the civil aerospace and energy industries as well, but they can also be volatile. Yet profits have held firm and its share price has been on a roll in recent months. Should I buy it?
In its recent (rather brief) first-quarter statement, Meggitt chairman Sir Colin Terry said the engineering group had posted "good growth in 2012" despite a "slowdown in the civil aftermarket and uncertainty around defence budgets worldwide". Revenues rose 10% in the year, with the energy business growing an impressive 45%. Underlying profit before tax grew 12% and underlying earnings per share (EPS) growth was 13%. The full-year dividend was hiked 12%, a demonstration of management confidence.
Yet the market was underwhelmed by Terry's admission that revenues "grew modestly" in the first quarter, and his forecast of mid-single digit revenue growth throughout the year. On the plus side, that should speed up in the second half of the year, provided the civil aftermarket picks up as anticipated, boosting revenues from overhauling jets and engines. Terry said Meggitt should still keep generating plenty of cash, on top of the £180m it pumped out in 2012. Financially, it's in a strong position.
Top gun?
At £5.10, Meggitt is trading close to its 52-week high of £5.20, way above year-low of £3.64. That's down to a share price surge in the past six months, when it rose nearly 40%, against just 15% for the FTSE 100. So it isn't as cheap as it was, trading at 13.8 times earnings. Yield is a lowly 2.4%, against the FTSE 100 average of 3.2%. On the plus side, it is covered a generous 3.1 times, which offers scope for further double-digit dividend hikes in future.
Can the growth continue? Forecast EPS is just 3% this year, although it should climb to 10% in 2014. A PEG ratio of 1 suggest possibilities, although nothing spectacular. Defence spending is likely to remain under pressure, although Meggitt gets roughly 44% of its earnings from the civil aviation market, where demand is still fairly robust. Investec has just retained its 'buy' recommendation but its £5.20 target price doesn't inspire. Meggitt looks a solid, long-term buy, but I don't expect it to go great guns.
He invests, he tweets, he makes a lot of money. Warren Buffett needs no introduction. But this company does, because it is the "One UK Share That Warren Buffett Loves." This special in-depth report from the Motley Fool explains exactly why Warren Buffett Bought This Share. Better still, it is completely free and without any obligation.

text: Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle is an indie RPG roguelike, with a retro graphic style and a terrible sense of humour. The game takes place in a series of ever descending randomly generated dungeon floors, packed full of monsters to slaughter and loot to pillage. The game plays like a traditional roguelike, but with a clean UI, a slick, action orientated combat system, and a massive range of enemy types, skills, gear and room designs. With features like crafting, skill trees, characters development, and just-one-more-room style gameplay, Claustrophobia is a love letter to traditional RPG rougelikes. Create your ideal hero, build your own custom class, then set out on your quest for glory, slaughter, and anything shiny!

- "Not as majestic as it once was."
- ―GTA IV Official Website
The Majestic Hotel is a large luxury hotel located in northern Star Junction in Liberty City.
It is the setting for the mission Late Checkout, in which Niko Bellic must kill the Jewish diamond dealer Isaac Roth in his penthouse. During the mission, the player can access the penthouse by either using the elevator in the lobby or the window cleaning platform outside of the building. Messina Consigliere Harry Hall is also said to run a high class prostitution ring out of the Majestic.
During gameplay, the player can land a helicopter on the roof of the hotel and enter the penthouse room from the mission. In Multiplayer, the doors to the hallway in the penthouse may open on a glitch occasion (video is on the links at the bottom).
The radio stations Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 and Electro-Choc are heard on the ground floor and in the penthouse, respectively. In EFLC, the radio station playing is Self-Actualization FM.
The Majestic Hotel is based on the Ritz-Carlton in Central Park (50 Central Park South), a luxury hotel; the top has been slightly altered and signs have been added however.
In The Ballad Of Gay Tony, a parachute pickup spawns on top of an AC unit, armor also spawns near the barbeque pit.
- The endless customer's service telephone ring may show how badly managed the place is.
- In the kitchen, a bottle of Blox can be seen, a product first advertised in GTA Vice City.
- In the bedroom of the penthouse suite there is a suitcase with a brown shirt and jeans similar to the casual outfit from GTA Vice City.
- There is a propane tank on the upper part of the roof, which players tend to crash into while landing their helicopters.
- The Majestic is a popular hangout in multiplayer, and also for singleplayer and multiplayer police rampages.
- The roof is a good place for snipers in multiplayer, as it shows Middle Park and the Libertonian and is a good place to rack up kills in deathmatch.
- The hotel also appeared in Manhunt 2 on the Project Plaza.

The Univers® typeface family is one of the most prolific grotesque sans-serif typefaces of the century. Like Helvetica®, Univers is based on 1898's Akzidenz-Grotesk. However, Univers is unique in that the design lacks superfluous features of any type, creating a design that is versatile and distinctive without being obstrusive. Adrian Frutiger began work on Univers in 1954, completing his design in 1957. The Univers type family has grown to 44 different weights and styles, some of which include Cyrillic characters.
A very important aspect of the Univers family is its modularity. Frutiger wanted to create a series of related designs that were absolutely harmonious with each other. This could only be accomplished by determining the complete family range as part of the design process or by building the family within a strict modular framework. Frutiger did both.
Frutiger has continued to improve and expand the Univers family, working with Linotype designers to add new weights and enlarging the character set to include many languages such as Greek, Cyrillic and Arabic. The final iteration of the family, Univers Next – a complete upgrading of the design – was released in 2010.
The non-typographer's guide to Practical Typeface Selection
Univers has been employed in numerous applications including corporate branding, signage, maps, standardized testing and consumer electronics devices. Apple used Univers on its laptop keyboards until switching to the VAG Rounded™ typeface in 2007. Univers is used in tandem with Frutiger in the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, as well as being the primary typeface used by Germany's Frankfurt International Airport and the Montreal Metro System. Rand McNally used Univers to label maps and atlases before switching to the Frutiger® design in 2004. Univers is used on tests and exams in the UK, preferred for the clear distinction between similar characters such as I and 1.

"Concerned citizen", I do not want you to think that this is just an idle post by some 1337 script kiddie. I do not want you to think that this is some dodgy ramblings of a warez hoarding 13 year old. I do not want you to think that the following is in any way written out of blind anger or any such emotions.
The concern originally seemed to be that an anonymous person had set up a clone of httg without any contact with the fine creators of httg. It was merely pointing out the existence of said site and concern for the content of said site. If you were in any way familiar with the ravings of the Mitch in particular then you have only seen the small minority of httg fans, and even then it was blindingly obvious that they were joking as they always do.
If you ever say something even _approximating_ the above sentence i shall RIP YOUR FUCKING LIMBS OFF YOUR FCUKING BODY!!! I have not a _single_ piece of illegal software on, near or in the same household as my computer. I deplore the practice of software piracy more than anyone i have ever seen. So do not FUCKING GENERALISE ABOUT THAT! Just because the people posting above have, at times poor spelling and grammar, have different viewpoints, and have fairly graphic posts does not mean that your posts are more valid than others.I'm willing to bet that every single one of you whiney spindely twerps has over $500 of illegal software on you PC, so who are you to talk about ripping off.
To the best of my recollection, and the recollection of "SytedEdit", there was one and only one post by Hazpee before your post. Your "fair" view includes a line of Hazpee's saying that they are "copying us a lot". He indicated the same sentiments as the rest of us but in a more intellectually stimulating manner.Thanx to the httg wrighter "Hazpee" for looking at this in a partialy fair veiw before surcumbing to the ease of the mob.
I believe that you stole this line from a similar BBS header ... hmmm ... smells like 1337 13 year to me ... If you didnt, i sincerely apologise and then refer you to the second of your posts which oozes script kiddie excrement from every available orifice.And one last time, if you dont have any skills or talent at all for makeing comics and/or could not be
bothered to have you own site then i sugggest you keep your mouth shut cos' one day you'll say the wrong thing to the wrong person and they will break your fragile spindley white legs.
In regard to your legal ramblings,
1. You can not prove in any way that Mitch was the source of the "rape" post.
2. Clicking on his profile to guess his location and email is a pretty poor habit to get in to because its entirely possible to wrongly identify someone and make a fool of yourself.
3. Considering Mitch's probable age and similar "crimes" committed on IRC, etc my guess of Mitch's probably sentence would be around a 5 minute lecture by the police. I know a guy who was burning commercial quantities of CDs and his punishment was cleaning school tables ....
Seriously, you probably have the same tracing abilities as i have. Virtually none, and restricted to plain reverese DNS. Trying to come off heavy handed simply makes you sound comical rather than authorative.
Any further moronic retaliation on the part of "Concerned Citizens" or other such Anonymous posters shall be met with equally lengthy posts by myself ...

How much has the mayor spent on travel expenses?
Mallory has traveled the world touting Cincinnati
Cincinnati's mayor has traveled across the country and around the world during his time in office.
Mayor Mark Mallory has traveled so often, in fact, that even he is unsure how many trips he's taken. WLWT News 5 puts the total at more than 100 trips, with a price tag in the tens of thousands of dollars.
The mayor points to major projects such as The Banks and big name restaurants opening as some of the spoils of his travel. But with the ongoing budget crisis, many want to find out if the money paid into the mayor's travel fund is being well spent.
Mallory assured WLWT News 5's Amy Wagner the funds were put to good use on worthwhile trips. "I know when I find it to be useful for some economic development purpose for the promotion of our city, for the attraction of some convention or meeting, I go," said Mallory.
Mallory traveled to Spain in February, and he took with him four staff members, along with the project manager of the streetcar project. They met with executives from CAF, the company manufacturing the city's streetcars.
Wagner's questions about spending started before the team even left the U.S. She uncovered an upgrade for the international flights. The staff bumped up to Delta's "comfort economy seats" at a cost of $90 for the round trip.
"It's still economy," Mallory said. "Have you been on one of these flights before? We're talking about economy comfort, so I think you get two extra inches."
The upgrade provided a couple of extra inches of legroom and free alcoholic drinks. The mayor's spokesman told Wagner staffers did not drink alcohol on the flights.
The mayor maintains the added expense was important. "I need a comfortable staff. When we hit the ground in Spain, we had meetings that day. In fact, that's the day we had a meeting with the U.S. ambassador to Spain," Mallory said.
Most of the trip focused on the streetcar. According to the agenda, the mayor and his staff met with top CAF executives and engineers. Those meetings included several working meals and formal dinners.
Mallory confirmed CAF paid for some of those meals. "I think they probably did foot the bill for some of the meals. I know I foot the bill for plenty of them myself," Mallory said. "I think they hosted a couple of times for sure."
But every staff members' expense report requested reimbursement at the maximum amount for each meal, even ones they didn't actually buy.
Mallory said the added expense was justified. "In many of the places we stayed, breakfast was 25 or 29 euros for each day, so once you've eaten breakfast, you've spent your per diem for the day, so it doesn't really matter if someone is buying you dinner," Mallory said.
One of the places Mallory and his staff stayed was a five-star luxury resort in Madrid. Another was a luxury beachfront boutique hotel in San Sebastian.
"We don't pick hotels based on the number of stars; we make the selection of hotel based on a long list of criteria," Mallory told us.
Wagner also uncovered one expense report for $39 in meals and incidentals approved by the mayor for staffer Shawn Butler for Feb. 29, a date that does not exist this year. Mallory thanked Wagner for spotting the apparent error, but he wasn't sure how many other people had reviewed the form before and after he signed off on it.
Butler repaid the $39 within an hour of our interview with the mayor.

Insite 2012, Pershing's 14th-annual conference, attracted more than 2,000 attendees, many of whom are broker-dealer home office personnel and BD reps who work through Pershing's clearing business and use its technology. At its traditional venue, the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, Fla., there were also close to 400 sponsors and exhibitors in attendance.
Among those attending this year were 1,329 Pershing "customers" and customer prospects, with the breakdown being:
- Broker-dealer home office associates, 48%;
- BD registered reps, 25%;
- RIAs, 22%; and
- Dually registered, 5%.
Of the big names among the 67 speakers, former President Bill Clinton was tapped to give the opening keynote address on June 6. Also on June 6, Pershing, a unit of BNY Mellon, also announced that it was enhancing its clearing platform to enable representatives of its correspondent broker-dealers to open, fund and manage 529 college savings plans electronically.
Pershing released the latest in a series of studies for advisors on how advisors can better serve sometimes-overlooked market segments on June 6, as well. Called Generation X and Y Investors Are the Future of Your Business, this newest guidebook focuses on how advisors can help increase their long-term success by "servicing the next generation of investors now and incorporating them into their long-term growth strategy."
Bill Clinton may be seeking to help Barack Obama win again in November, but the former president may have to be careful that he doesn't overshadow the man he's trying to help get re-elected. "I thought he was awesome," said one Pershing colleague to another at the close of the former president's keynote address on Wednesday at the BNY Mellon company's annual conference in Hollywood, Fla.
This enthusiastic comment came in response to the charismatic Clinton's assertion that while he is happy to support the re-election of President Barack Obama, he also values his friendships with former U.S. presidents on both sides of the aisle—including both George Bush Sr. and his son George W. "I love the guy," Clinton said of Bush Sr. Of George W., he quipped: "We go to the same events together now and roll our eyes at each other's answers."
Speaking very much in a spirit of bipartisanship before an afternoon audience at Pershing Insite 2012, Clinton conceded that it's easier to be a former U.S. president than an incumbent one. He certainly looked the part of a relaxed retired president, tall and slim with silver hair and sporting a sober suit along with a hand-woven multicolored bracelet around his wrist.
And to the biggest round of applause during his entire keynote address, Clinton added that he is frustrated with the poor level of collaboration between Democrats and Republicans in Washington and the "frivolous" commentary of the political media. "At some point we have to re-establish trust between the two parties in Washington," Clinton said. "If I say something nice about Mitt Romney, the political press acts like I endorsed him even though I oppose his political policies."
Asked by Pershing Managing Director Frank La Salla during a question-and-answer period how he would fix the nation's fiscal woes, Clinton pointed to a three-part strategy:
J Resolution of the ongoing U.S. mortgage market crisis, so that consumers can start spending and taking out loans again.
J Repatriation of $2 trillion of U.S. company assets overseas as well as an infrastructure bank to be created by the repatriated capital.
J Reform of U.S. energy policy, which would include jobs creation from the green retrofitting of old buildings.
Audience member Gerald Wood, a chief financial officer with PRS International Advisory Service in Miami, said after Clinton's speech that his support of Obama during the election process is a mixed blessing.
"I thought he was great," Wood said of Clinton. "He manages to be non-controversial for a president who was so controversial. But if I were Obama, I wouldn't know how to fit him into my campaign. Clinton overshadows everybody."
Chopra's Comments
Speaking to the Pershing Insite audience on June 7, Deepak Chopra said, "People who feel self-power are immune to criticism. They look at it as useful feedback, negative or passive. They're willing to take risks because they believe in their vision."
Chopra, the author of 18 best-sellers on human empowerment, further explained, "A true leader is the soul of a collective consciousness." He believes we are all storytellers of our hopes and wishes, heroic strivers of mythological dimensions. "A good story is the story of the hero's quest, and a good story starts with a dream," Chopra shared.
President Obama, Bill Clinton, Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Facebook, Twitter—all create a synchronicity of crisis and opportunity, and out of this chaos emerges the new hive mind of social networks, he explained. Plus, great leaders make their own good luck by being aware—present in the moment—and they are fundamentally happy people.
"Well-being is the one thing that predicts everything. The economy, social unrest, conflict, hospital admissions, financial institutions—all are driven by the world's level of well-being," said Chopra.
Advisor Solutions
Speaking on June 6 about how Pershing customers—specifically independent broker-dealers who clear at Pershing and RIAs who custody with Pershing Advisor Solutions—benefit from the company's worldwide footprint, Pershing CEO Brian Shea noted first that "the world economic scene is being restructured" as we speak, and that the economies of the emerging-market nations may, for the first time, "pull developed nations out of recession."
While many of Pershing's affiliated advisors remain U.S.-centric in their investing strategies, Shea says many of its customers are also global, and mentioned that Pershing is building on its international expertise by successfully building out the IFA (independent financial advisor) channel in the U.K., where Mark Tibergien, CEO of Pershing Advisor Solutions (PAS), "has been of great value."
"We execute, clear and report in 65 countries" around the world, Shea pointed out. As a further example of how advisors and their end clients are benefiting from Pershing's global operations, he said that Lockwood Advisors, part of Pershing's Managed Account Solutions, is now working with BNY Mellon's investment management unit to build separately managed accounts that invest globally.
Turning to regulation and the current debate on everything from an advisor SRO to a fiduciary standard for all professional advice givers, Shea first pointed out that while the current regulatory system is a "patchwork quilt" and that if "you were starting from scratch today, there's no way you would build it as it is," efforts like Dodd-Frank to reform the system are important, but cautioned that "no regulatory system can reduce risk 100%."
For his part, Tibergien says, "Our message is resonating" with advisors, pointing out that the RIA custody arm of Pershing has crossed the $100 billion in AUM mark from its 540 advisor relationships, a figure that is growing by 70 to 80 advisory firms a year.
Acknowledging the "very competitive business" that PAS is in, with "formidable" competitors, Tibergien said on June 6 that he's particularly pleased with the "vast improvements in the client service experience" that have occurred in the four and a half years since he took the helm at PAS.
Tibergien explained that in addition to providing a global set of new products and "keeping pace" in technology, PAS' "big thrust" this year is in encouraging the custodian's RIAs to move from a "practice management focus to a business management process." That resonates particularly well for the kind of advisors that PAS is appropriate for, he said: those who provide comprehensive advice to high-net-worth clients with complicated financial lives.
There's another overarching message from Tibergien for advisors. For the past five years, Tibergien said, many advisors have been keeping their "noses down and butts up" in focusing on the immediate needs of their businesses, but they now need to "look over the horizon" and determine what they want to be and do in 10 years' time. For those advisors who do want to grow their businesses, they should consider two areas in which to find new clients: among women investors and younger investors.
While most advisors tend to focus on older, and often male, investors, Tibergien suggested advisors ask themselves whether they want to keep their focus on "a group that is dying" and if they decide to focus on Gen X and Gen Y investors and the massive women's market, "what does that mean in terms of structure" for advisors' businesses?•


text: TAMPA — Ben Bishop, as you would expect, found it disturbing when told how often the Lightning lately has played from behind.But Tampa Bay's goaltender also said the trend could simply be part of the ebb and flow of a season, and joked he had the solution."I'll try to make sure they don't score the next time," he said of Tampa Bay's opponents.The moment was good for a laugh, but the topic is serious for a team lurching toward the playoffs rather than fine tuning.Consider that the Lightning has allowed the first goal in six of its past eight games. It also has been behind at some point in eight straight games.Tampa Bay is 3-3-2 in that stretch and has lost three of its past four. In its past two games, it has been outscored in the first period a combined 5-0.Cause for concern?"Absolutely," defenseman Sami Salo said. "Everybody has to be concerned. You can't just flip a switch when the playoffs start and say we're going to play this way. It's not going to happen.""We've got to find our mojo," coach Jon Cooper said. "I'm not emphasizing wins and losses. You can play extremely well and still lose a hockey game. It's how you're playing and how you're competing. That's what we have to get down to in our last four games."Playing from behind is a game-changer, literally."It changes the way you play," Cooper said. "Now you have to press a little bit. It pulls you out of your structure sometimes. Veteran, disciplined teams hang in there and they'll trust themselves that they'll come back."The young Lightning, however, entered Monday tied for 25th in the 30-team league with four victories when trailing after the first period. Five wins when trailing after the second were tied for 11th.Consequences of playing from behind go beyond the obvious.First, there is the physical effort required to play catch-up. Players take more chances. That opens them up for mistakes.Playing from behind also plays with the mind."It's draining mentally," defenseman Matt Carle said. "When you have a lead, you play with confidence. It's much easier."When the Stars in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Tampa Bay scored 40 seconds into the game off a defensive zone turnover by Teddy Purcell, players sagged."A huge downer for us," Carle said.Especially because a fast start was a priority after Tampa Bay fell behind 2-0 in the first period of Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.The first goal in that game came when Bishop, behind his goal line, passed directly to Calgary's Mike Cammalleri, who scored into an empty net."What's hurting us a little bit is we literally feel like we're scoring on ourselves," Cooper said. "We have to do a better job of shrugging that stuff off. … You give up a lead with 58 minutes left in the game, it shouldn't change the way you play."But we are dealing with human nature, the same human nature that perhaps caused Tampa Bay to exhale after Tuesday's playoff-clinching win over the Canadiens.Since then, the Lightning, which tonight faces Toronto at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, is 0-2-0 and outscored 9-3."I don't know if it's lack of preparation or being a little too lax," Bishop said, "but something has to change."

|Happy Birthday, Luna!
Join us in celebrating Luna's belated birthday! Yesterday, Luna turned five years old. Born on the night of a full, blue moon, Luna is the daughter of Pandora. An outgoing, bold little girl, Luna is small in stature yet big in personality. She was one of the youngest of our babies to cuddle with trainers in the water, starting at only three months of age! Luna is a quick learner, an avid people watcher, and a free-spirited little sprite you can't help but adore!
Luna is so sweet, that she actually gave a member of the Dolphin Research Center staff five separate gifts on her fifth birthday when asked to retrieve a present! What an adorable way to celebrate, and bond, with her human family members. It's surely a memory that will be cherished forever.
If you'd like to adopt Luna or buy her a bucket of fish for her birthday, head on over to the Dolphin Research Center website. As a nonprofit education and research facility, DRC relies on guests, members and donors to be the backbone of the organization and enable us to provide excellent care for our animal family members.
Happy Birthday, Luna! We love you baby girl.

As part of the fund, FuzeHub offers Manufacturing Innovation Grants. The grants are available to not-for-profit organizations, including higher education institutions, in New York State proposing innovative projects to be undertaken with small and mid-sized manufacturers or early stage companies. Projects can include prototype development, proof-of-concept manufacturing, certain equipment purchases, manufacturing scale-up, market identification, and other projects to advance manufacturing capabilities. The fund will also be used to launch a commercialization competition this fall, with plans to formally announce the details in late spring.
The second round of grant awardees are projected to incrementally add 46 new jobs to both existing and startup companies across New York State in the next two years. "One of the goals of the fund, and the Manufacturing Innovation Grants, is to spur economic development in the manufacturing sector, and we're seeing that even these small investments in manufacturing projects are allowing companies to add jobs, strengthening their teams and contribute to their growth," FuzeHub Executive Director Elena Garuc noted. "These projects are a great example of how New York's innovation assets are supporting industry and contributing to economic growth in New York," she added.
FuzeHub is pleased to announce the second set of grantees:
Center for Economic Growth – $75,000
The Center for Economic Growth (CEG) is working with ThermoAura Inc. to help them with the integration of new equipment into their manufacturing process to enable the high-volume manufacture of advanced nanocrystalline thermoelectric alloys. ThermoAura is an early stage company commercializing high-performance nanostructured thermoelectrics produced by a unique chemical method. Through working with CEG and the new equipment the project will support, ThermoAura will be able to decrease assembly times by more than four-fold, permit a three-fold increase in the number of parts produced per cycle and yield per-unit manufacturing costs that are the best in the world and up to 20% more competitive with overseas manufacturers. (Capital Region)
Clarkson University – $75,000
Clarkson University is creating a new shared laboratory for both academic and industry collaboration in which both will have access to laboratory tools and equipment. The new space, named the Clarkson Biomaterials Characterization Laboratory, will use the Manufacturing Innovation Grant award to purchase a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer/ infrared (IR) microscope for the purpose of developing and manufacturing next-generation metamaterials-enhanced infrared imaging systems for commercial, security and defense markets. Industry demand for the FTIR/IR microscope at Clarkson is driven by Phoebus Optoelectronics LLC, which has been performing metamaterials research, development and commercialization over the last ten years. The project with Clarkson will generate significant economic impact for Phoebus Optoelectronics, Clarkson University, Potsdam and the surrounding communities, including the creation of 10 high quality jobs over the next two years. (North Country)
Cornell Center for Materials Research – $58,926
Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) and Professor Yong Joo of Cornell University's School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering are working with IdealChain, a spinoff of Buckingham Manufacturing, who manufactures safety products (harnesses, rescue systems, etc.), to develop and build a bench-scale multi-nozzle Air-Controlled (AC) electrospray system for encapsulation of dyes, to use as stress indicators in safety products. The resulting roll-to-roll electrospray system will be used by IdealChain to fabricate stress-indicating fibers and patches for safety equipment, helping the user to determine when to safely retire their equipment. The manufacturing technology originally developed through the CCMR Industrial Partnerships Program between the Joo Group and Buckingham Manufacturing not only has a large impact on the safety industry, but also wide-ranging ramifications for the fragrance, food, drug delivery and self-healing material industries. Additionally, this project will help IdealChain add 10 new jobs in the next two years. (Southern Tier)

We're just a little over a week away from the premiere of "American Horror Story" on FX and I'm not going to lie I'm a little bit excited. Well, let's say I'm as excited as I can get after seeing the new artwork for the show, which looks like a mix between the Russian Circus and a Nine Inch Nails concert from 20 years ago. Ya know... classy, in a rubber suit sort of way.
Tobias Segal, who I don't know but hate because his name is Tobias, has joined Ryan Reynolds , Kevin Bacon and Jeff Bridges in the cast of "R.I.P.D.", a new flick that follows two undead cops trying to solve the case of a serial killer. No word yet as to what Tobias will be playing in the film but based on name a lone I'm guessing a chimney sweep or a paper boy with a heart of gold.
Maybe I'm losing my edge but I think "Paranormal Activity 3" might be kind of good. The trailer creeped me out and today there's a clip from the film that equality creeped me out. The entire clip also takes place on a giant flat screen TV so if you listen to podcast will know that fact will drive Eric insane, which is nice. Maybe I'm just focusing my anger on those around me rather than some director in Hollywood I've never met. Let's explore each other.
The creators of "Six Degrees of Hell" are calling it next year's scariest movie and today we know why because of a new teaser. Why is the new haunted house flick so frightening? Well because Cory Feldman is in it and it and it looks like they bleached his hair for the role and as we all know that can do some serious damage to your roots. Permanent root damage is the most frightening thing in the world!
I got Feldman fever folks! And the cure right now is some new stills from his upcoming spooky new supernatural flick "Six Degrees Of Hell". I'm not sure I would be talking about the movie if Feldman wasn't in it but if you think about it I wouldn't be talking about Feldman if he wasn't in "Dream a Little Dream". Did I just mind F you so hard that you need a cigarette?
Let's be honest there's no real reason we should be covering "Real Steel" on this site but the fact that the movie stars Hugh Jackman as a father trying to bond with his son by fixing up a fighting robot means I will give this thing more coverage than "Scream", "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" combined. It's that important. And today there's an adorable new Brazilian poster for the film that has Jackman looking like a dream boat while two robots fight. My heart has never felt this kind of warmth.
"Straw Dogs" has officially shot it's way to the number 1 spot on my list of most un-needed remakes. But it's happening and today there's a couple new clips from the movie that hits theaters on September 16th. For those of you who don't remember the original it stared Dustin Hoffman as man who moves to a small town with his wife and begins being terrorized by some local workers. Things get uncomfortable... in a "Last House On the Left" sort of way.
Indie zombie flicks are usually about as fun as... well indie zombie flicks but every once in a while you come up with a winner. I can't think of any off the top of my head but I'm sure there's one out there. Was "Shaun of the Dead" indie or just British? Anyway "Extinction: The G.M.O. Chronicles" is indie and by god it looks pretty decent. At least the zombies do. I don't know, watch the trailer and shut your face.
Hey, they're still making "Child of the Corn" movies? Who knew! Well here's the new trailer for "Children of the Corn: Genesis" and from the looks of things the filmmakers have fallen on hard times because there appears to be only 4 or 5 children and hardly any corn. I imagine we're only 1 or 2 movies away from "Children of the Government Cheese".
Just to keep the good times rolling here's a couple new stills from "Six Degrees of Hell". I'm not going to bother explaining the plot because I don't think there is one but it stars none other than Mr. Corey Feldman along side Nicole Cinaglia. I mention the second only because I Googled her and while I didn't recognize any of her movies I did recognize the fact that she's dressed like a street walker in half the images she has online. So that's some news, right?
And speaking of mom jeans... I'm sure we were just talking about mom jeans... here's a new trailer for the new Milla Jovovich flick titled "Faces in the Crowd", which drops this October. In the movie Jovo (I just made that up) plays a woman who's attacked by a serial killer and wakes up to find she's suffering from "Face Blindness". I'm not even making that up. They say it right in the trailer. Watch it. I'm pretty sure it's a real thing.
And to top of the worst news day in history it's been confirmed that Jean-Claude Van Damme will star along side his daughter in a new sci-fi thriller that's cleverly titled "UFO". If you couldn't have guessed the movie focuses on a group of friends and what happens when UFO's hover above their hometown. I assume the secret to the alien's weakness will somehow focus on being able to do a full split and wearing tight jeans.
Apparently Cory Feldman and most of the cast of "The Goonies" would love to see a sequel happen. Wait, is this news? Of course they would. The kid who played Data has been giving out handies under a bridge for the last 20 years. Of course they'd like to see a sequel. Is Chunk still alive? I'm sorry I even brought this up, ignore the whole thing.
I have no desire to talk about "Scream 4" but these new photos raise so many questions. Are these actually just screen shots from the old movies? Who's that boy that looks like the cheerleader from "Heroes"? Why in the holy living hell hasn't someone put Wes Craven in an old folks home yet? We may never know.
Get ready guys, here's the first look at Amanda Seyfried in "Red Riding Hood". Let me be the first to applaud the creators of the film for not cheapening things by putting her in some scantily clad outfit. No, you guys stayed true to the kids story and covered her from head to toe. Maybe go to the next level and put her in a burlap sack. That'll show em!
Ah boy this can't be good. "The Thing" prequel, which was originally set for an April 29th 2011 release date has been updated to TBD. After searching my computer's calender for a good 30 minutes I then looked up what TBD meant. Well, first I went to Taco Bell and got dinner but then I looked it up. I think we're done here.

Fundraising Tips + Ideas
Work with your skills and personality. If you like the discipline and organization of planning everything in advance, make a list of potential Cupcake party guests and work through your plan to contact them all. If you're a bit more fly-by-the-strings-of-your-apron, then take advantage of your bursts of energy to connect with your Cupcake Day party guests through social media or group emails!
Giving makes people feel great and your supporters will get to enjoy a delicious cupcake. Think of all the people who you can promote your Cupcake party to, including people who may not live near you (you can send them a virtual cupcake by email!).
Familiarize yourself with everything in your Personal Fundraising Centre and your Cupcake Host Kit (if you made a self-donation of $25 or more at registration). You can also download great promotional tools in the Resources and Downloads section of the website. Be sure to customize your Personal Fundraising Page with great stories and pictures showing off your passion for animals and share, share, share! Visit our Pinterest page for inspiration.
Set an ambitious fundraising goal to measure your success by. Show your friends and family that you are committed to the cause by making the first donation to your cupcake campaign! Next, figure out how many cupcakes you want to bake and what you think the suggested donation amount should be from each Cupcake Day party guest to reach your goal. Suggest this donation amount and let them know how that amount will make a difference. Last year the average amount raised by each host was almost $300!
Tell your friends, co-workers and neighbours you are raising money for animals in need and invite them to your Cupcake Day party. Think of people who appreciate your baking. Think of people who love animals like you do! Ask them to donate online in advance so you can relax and enjoy your Cupcake Day party! Create a feeling of anticipation for your party guests. Send photos of your test batches and update your status when you find the perfect sprinkles. Be creative and have fun with how you stay connected!
Baking + Decorating Tips
Below are some delicious tips and tricks to help make your National Cupcake Day™ a success! Have fun!
Baking Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature (eggs, butter, milk, buttermilk).
- Weighing ingredients on a digital scale is the most accurate way of measuring.
- Cream butter or coconut oil and sugar (for approximately 5 minutes) until pale and fluffy.
- Whisk dry ingredients together before adding to wet ingredients.
- Always start with dry ingredients when alternating with wet ingredients (3 dry additions, 2 wet).
- Don't over mix once dry ingredients are added. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
- Always wait for the oven to reach the correct temperature before baking.
- Use the middle rack in your oven and rotate your cupcakes or cakes halfway through baking.
- Remove cupcakes from pan immediately after baking and place on a wire rack for cooling.
Decorating Tips
- Make sure your cupcakes are cool before icing them.
- If you don't have piping bags you can use Ziploc bags instead. Use scissors to snip off a small V-shape (to imitate a leaf tip), M-shape (to imitate a star tip) or a plain cut from the corner.
- A small spatula is a handy tool for spreading icing on cupcakes. If you can't find one then a regular knife can be substituted.
- To make multi-coloured fur for cute animal cupcakes, hold your piping bag (or Ziploc bag) open and spread a thick line of each of 2 colours of frosting up opposite sides of the bag. Fill the bag down the centre with a third colour (if using).
- Thin chocolate wafer cookies make for great dog ears - they can be cut to shape with a serrated knife.
- Candy such as jelly beans, M&M's, mini chocolate chips and marshmallows make great eyes and noses.
- Semisoft and pliable candies such as tootsie rolls, caramels and starbursts can be moulded, rolled and cut into tongues and ears.
Rolled fondant can be rolled thin and cut into shapes with small cookie cutters (e.g. dog bone, animal shapes). Let them dry overnight and place on your buttercream covered cupcake. For more inspiration on all things Cupcake visit our Pinterest Page.

Dissatisfied with young Zune's lagging market share, Microsoft is switching advertising tactics. AdAge.com reports Redmond is beefing up the budget and turning away from alternative marketing and toward traditional television in an effort to improve its 2.2 percent market share. "The new campaign includes 60- and 30-second spots illustrating a journey inside the Zune," AdAge reports. "Spots will run on cable's Comedy Central, ESPN and other cable channels, as well as during network prime-time programming such as Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives."
After all the pink bunnies and jellyfish, the spots deliver the new iPod-killing tagline: "You make it you." Packs the same kind of punch as "welcome to the social"—and will likely deliver similar results.

Quick and Pöck in Sochi
Two former Minutemen hockey players, goalie Jonathan Quick and defenseman Thomas Pöck, will be vying for medals at the 22nd Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. They are two of four UMass hockey players to compete in the Olympics. Justin McCarthy and Jon Lyons were both members of Team USA that won silver at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France, in 1924.
This is the second Olympics for both Quick and Pöck. Quick, who plays for the Los Angeles Kings, was a member of the 2010 silver-medal winning American team. He will share goalie duties in Sochi with Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres and Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings.
Pöck played on the Austrian National team in 2002, and will once again represent his home country as the Austrian team returns to the Olympics after failing to qualify in 2006 and 2010.
During his two-year career at UMass Quick led the Minutemen to their first NCAA tournament in 2006-07 and was named a second team All American that year. He was drafted by the Kings in 2005 and left UMass after his sophomore year. He went on to play for the Reading Royals of the ECHL and Manchester Monarchs of the AHL before being called up permanently to the Kings during the 2008-09 season. In 2012, he led the Kings to the Stanley Cup and won the Conn Smythe trophy as the most valuable player in the postseason.
Pöck was a 2004 All American and the first Minutemen Hobey Baker finalist. He finished his UMass career with 44 goals and 58 assists. He signed as a free agent in 2004 with the New York Rangers and played parts of five seasons in the NHL with the Rangers and the New York Islanders. He has played in Europe since 2009 and currently plays for KAC Klagenfurt in Austria.

Jesse James SCOREs in San Felipe
Outlaw Biker Tackles Baja Series Race in Silverado Trophy Truck
On the northeast side of the Baja California peninsula is San Felipe, a postage-stamp-sized town normally home to hard-working locals, fishermen, and the occasional tourist. But during the second week of March things get hectic in San Felipe. That's when the SCORE circus comes to town -- the MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250, a 252-mile race that traverses rocky landscapes, seemingly bottomless silt beds, and dusty, sandy washes.
Celebrating its 25th running this year, the San Felipe event is the little sister to the mighty Baja 1000 endurance racing extravaganza. Where the 1000 has a 45-hour time limit that allows for pretty much anything to happen, the 250 has a cutoff time of 11 hours, which puts a premium on driving fast but careful, and smart but bold. With nearly 250 entries from multiple countries there's no shortage of racing heroes. But one name that sticks out on the entry list is No. 54, piloted by none other than Jesse James.
Yes, that Jesse James -- the tattooed custom bike shop owner and TV personality whose name was splashed across the tabloids and TMZ in recent months. But what you may not know about James is his involvement with the SCORE Baja series, which he has been campaigning in since 2002. After selling his bike shop earlier this year, he decided to race full time. He'd be competing in the Trophy Truck division in his custom-built Chevy Silverado.
James seemed to be the opposite of everything I had read and heard about him. He was quiet and polite, amazingly down to earth and almost shy. Throughout the weekend I kept calling him a hermit, an assessment he agreed with. He told me he usually gets a room away from everyone because he likes to stay centered throughout the event. James went down to do a pre-run on Tuesday, but his team never saw him until Friday when he strolled into the hotel to get a little one-on-one time with the Silverado race truck and talk strategy with his co-driver, Gerald "Smitty" King. Smiling broadly, he told King about his pre-run, recounting how he drove until motor and trans were practically falling out and the shocks were cooked. For many drivers this would be a scary sign of what's to come, but to James it was an indication of a job well done.
On race days James follows a routine to help him stay calm and relaxed. He gets up early and has yogurt, plain oatmeal, and one cup of coffee. About an hour before the race he does 15 minutes of meditation and slowly stretches his arms, shoulders, back, and legs. He told me that before the race he's trying to do everything as slow as possible to keep his heart rate down. Watching him before the start is like looking outside minutes before a storm. He's calm and cool, slowly taking deep breaths, but soon he'll be cracking his knuckles, slapping himself on his helmet, gunning the engine, and barreling through the San Felipe arches at the start of the race.
James started eighth in a field of 24 trophy trucks. He quickly found his pace, and using Smitty's keen skills the duo was able to navigate the course without fail. There were a few bumps along the route. The course was so rough that they lost a cylinder at about the 200-mile mark, had to get a tire changed after getting a flat, and the shocks started to give out toward the end. In addition, a miscommunication between the team and driver led to James having to wait until mile 170 to refuel, an act that seemed to defy science as other teams stopped far earlier.
Four hours and 35 minutes after starting the race, James came barreling down the final road at 110 mph and placed where he started, a respectable eighth overall in the Trophy Truck division. His goal was get into the top 10, and James seemed very pleased with the result -- a personal best for his racing career.
And then in typical James fashion, right after the race he packed up his car and drove the 400 miles home, avoiding the after partying and congratulatory back slapping for a nice, quiet night.

In the temple we are taught, we make covenants, and we are promised blessings. We receive ordinances that enable us to live in the presence of God.
One ordinance we receive in the temple is the endowment. The word endowment means "gift" or "bestowal." As part of this ordinance, we are taught about the purpose of life, the mission and Atonement of Jesus Christ, and Heavenly Father's plan for His children. We gain a glimpse of what it will be like to live in His presence as we feel the peaceful atmosphere of the temple.
Another temple ordinance is the sealing ordinance, in which husbands and wives are sealed to each other and children are sealed to their parents in eternal families. This means that if we are faithful to our covenants, our family relationships will continue for eternity. People sometimes also refer to this ordinance as "temple marriage" or "eternal marriage."
Ordinances for the Deceased
In addition to receiving these ordinances for ourselves, we can receive them for our deceased ancestors. In this way, people who died without receiving essential ordinances such as baptism and confirmation, the endowment, and sealing have the opportunity to accept these ordinances.

This is the mantra at the perinatologist, apparently. If we heard it once, we heard it 20 times during our visit for luchal translucency (down syndrome) screening. This is the drum they beat to make insurance companies pay for the myriad tests they're going to put us through.
Sarah and I sort of have a philosophy about being high risk, it goes like this. "SWEET! MORE PICTURES"! I realize that sounds a little snarky, but - in my case anyway - it's like being high risk without being high risk at all.
What is boils down to, is that they have diagnosed me as being OLD.
Seriously. Are you fecking kidding me?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the red carpet treatment. I love knowing that my odds of having a Down Syndrome or Trisomy 18 baby are LOW LOW LOW after the testing was done, we have none of the genetic markers. Next we'll do neural tube defect testing so you know - MORE PICTURES! Plus I get to see the sex by then so that'll be fun.
I'm just not worried.
I saw that tiny human on the screen, with it's arms and legs stretching and rubbing it's head....and I can see that it's fine. Maybe it's because I didn't even start having kids until I was 34 that this just doesn't seem like such a huge deal to me. I was always "an older mother".
But I refuse to treat being pregnant like a disability. It's a gift, it's my hearts desire. And I will not see it otherwise, regardless of the testing and screenings that are required.
