cPanel® Migration Services
Migrate from your current non-cPanel platform. Our team of skilled technical analysts possesses the knowledge and experience to efficiently perform protocol-based migrations.
Why Migrate to cPanel?
churn by increasing stability
Free Migration Service! Migration is free with an active cPanel® software license, if the prerequisites are met. We will review migrations in advance for pre-approval.*
Prerequisites for migration:
- New Installation of cPanel software without existing accounts.
- A valid cPanel software license. (If you need a temporary license, please go to https://www.cpanel.net/store/)
- Root access to the server from which you are transferring the accounts (i.e., the remote server).
- Your cPanel server must be running the latest CURRENT release of cPanel and WHM® software.
- The MySQL version on your remote server should be at least 4.1.
- The Perl version on your remote server should be at least 5.6.2.
The cPanel® Migration Protocol
The migration process begins with an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the original server, to identify issues such as software compatibility and resource utilization. When the analysis is complete, our technical analyst will provide you with an expert opinion and a list of potential issues prior to starting the transfer.
During the transfer process, the cPanel Migration Team will perform non-intrusive tests to assess and validate the migration. During the transfer, our Migration Team has direct contact with the cPanel Development Team. This allows us to provide migration scripts that resolve issues and assist in the overall process when necessary.
Meet your migration team
cPanel places a high priority on migrations. We have taken a great deal of pride in assembling a team of experts who will provide the best possible service. For your migration, you will be provided with a full list of direct contacts that include the Migration Team, Managers, and Operations Personnel.
Supported Platforms and OS
No migration too big or small. We offer our migration service to any license holder, ranging from single servers to entire data centers. Our Migration Team is dedicated to handling advanced data migrations and providing you with enterprise-level support.
- DirectAdmin
- Ensim / Parallels Pro
- Plesk
- CentOS (version 5.x or 6.x)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 5.x or 6.x)
- CloudLinux (version 5.x or 6.X)
How to start the process?
- Submit a request – To begin a migration, you must have an operational cPanel® server. Then, submit a support ticket via https://tickets.cpanel.net/submit/. The ticket should be in the following format:
Subject: Migration:
Your Company Name: Hostname or IP of server to be transferred For example, if your company name was Big Server Provider, the subject of the new support ticket would be the following:
Subject: Migration: Big Server Provider: host.someserver.net
- Initial evaluation – One of our migration specialists will perform an evaluation on the source server to determine whether it is a suitable candidate for a successful migration. Our specialist will analyze available disk space vs. the amount of data to be moved, operating system version, system software versions, database management system versions, available memory, and average CPU usage, and will test the network connection between the target and source servers.
- Customized migration plan – Our specialist will generate a customized plan for the migration, including an estimated timeframe for completion.
- Scheduling – In order to provide the highest level of service, migrations are scheduled in advance. In your migration plan, our migration specialist will indicate available windows for beginning the transfer. Due to network, hardware and other variables outside of our specialist's control, we can only make an estimate on the actual duration of your migration. Migrations may take longer than expected.
- Progress updates – We provide a migration hotline that you may call for status updates on your migration: 1-877-288-1492.
- Coordinate DNS switchover – Unless an immediate switch is scheduled, your DNS records will remain pointing at the original server until the transfer is verified and complete. If your server's DNS records are controlled or hosted by the domain registrar, you should transfer them to a local DNS server before migrating to avoid delays.
- Confirmation of completion – Once the migration process is fully complete, our migration specialist will confirm your satisfaction with the process.
*We reserve the right to deny this service. Final testing and validation are explicitly the responsibility of the requester of this service.

Festival of Baseball Fun
Under beautiful sunny skies, baseball fans from around the country spent Saturday afternoon at Doubleday Field for the inaugural Classic Fest during Hall of Fame Classic Weekend.
Whether it was competing in a trivia game, being fitted for a balloon animal hat, or learning about baseball card collecting, families were enjoying the day and celebrating Father's Day Weekend on the legendary diamond.
Seven-year-old friends Victoria Marrero and Samantha Shilling met in the morning at the Legends for Youth Skills Clinic. Marrero hails from Brooklyn and Shilling is from Maryland, but you'd never guess these two weren't best friends.
"We just met this morning," said Marrero.
Former major leaguers took the field at 9 a.m. to share their baseball knowledge with youngsters.
"We learned how to pitch and hit," said Shilling.
By 1 p.m. the girls had ladybug balloon bracelets and tried out their skills at the MLB Network Strike Zone, where fans could test their pitching accuracy. Fans got to meet Pappy, the mascot for the Tri-City ValleyCats and even some former major leaguers like Dave Henderson who showed off his 1989 World Series ring.
"Are you fast?" Henderson asked a young fan who replied in the affirmative. "Then I can't let you try on my ring – because I won't be able to catch you."
Henderson joked with fans and posed for pictures along side other players like Steve Grilli, John Doherty and Frank Catalanotto.
A table dedicated to the making of a baseball taught fans that there are 369 yards of string wrapped inside a ball, which would measure almost four football fields. Fans were able to compare a ball from the late 1800s that used lemon peel stitches to a current major league baseball.
"They call is a lemon peel because all the stitches end in a point and you could peel it like a lemon," said Jennifer Rodger, a member of the Frank and Peggy Steele Internship Program at the Hall of Fame for the summer.
Near the infield, Bill "Spaceman" Lee was entertaining fans of all ages, preparing for his role tomorrow when he joins six Hall of Famers and 25 former major leaguers in the position of Designated Humorist in the Hall of Fame Classic.
"Hitting and pitching, that's all I do," said Lee. "It's the running part that I don't want to do – it's starting to hurt at my age."
A jokester known for his wacky antics, Lee pitched for 14 seasons in the majors from 1969-82 and is the third-winningest lefty in Red Sox history. At age 63, Lee became the oldest person to pitch in and win a minor league game on September 5, 2010 when he made an appearance for the Brockton Rox. Lee donated his cap from the game to the Hall of Fame.
"I may need that back because they want me to play another year," said Lee. "Last year I was day-to-day, but this year I told them I am hour-to-hour."
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Here nestled among the green rolling hills and dew filled mornings is the center of it's past. Keeping tradition buried in innocence helps keep it in the shadows and the perfect gem for those whose ultimate journey is to find its gift. For what this place is has less to do with the physical and tangible but everything to do with preserving an experience. While many places are like this, none compare to the awesome pedigree of tradition and history for this institution. While some flock with a religious zeal others pass by what is (some say) a microcosm of metaphors for life. One thing is for sure; those who are lucky enough to find it are forever touched by it.
For those looking for direction you must start the journey from within. There is no quick way to get here. Highways and shortcuts can get you close but in order to find what your looking for each must find their own path. When you arrive you'll find lavish amenities that enrich the experience, each one customized for the individual. Time has a universal effect, so spend your time wisely, the ability for it to cast deep shadows with it's passing is a precious commodity.
For those who wish for guidance in their journey I deeply recommend you begin your search in June or July. Pick a warm day and cancel plans for the next day. Bring something to capture your moments and come prepared to have them.

So I am going through some of the Blues' draft history, and my screen provided me with this little shot:
What trade brought this?
Sharks get:
2007 1st round pick (#9-Logan Couture)
Blues get:
2007 1st round pick (#13-Lars Eller)
2007 2nd round pick (#44-Aaron Palushaj)
2008 3rd round pick (#87-Ian Schultz)
So this trade did get us Halak (Eller) and D'Agostini (Palushaj), but we could have picked the available Couture at that time.
Hard to say who won that, but still worth a nostalgic look from Blues fans.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a nerve disorder that causes a stabbing or electric-shock-like pain in parts of the face.
Tic douloureux
The pain of trigeminal neuralgia comes from the trigeminal nerve. This nerve carries the feelings of touch and pain from the face, eyes, sinuses, and mouth to the brain.
The condition usually affects adults, but it can affect anyone at any age.
Trigeminal neuralgia may be caused by:
Often, no cause is found.
Doctors are more likely to find a cause in a person who is younger than age 40.
Symptoms may include any of the following:
Painful attacks of trigeminal neuralgia can be triggered by common, everyday activities, such as brushing teeth, chewing, drinking, eating, touching the face, or shaving.
A brain and nervous system (neurologic) examination is usually normal.
Tests that are done to look for the cause may include:
Your primary care physician, a neurologist, or a pain specialist may be involved in your care.
Certain medicines sometimes help reduce pain and the rate of attacks. These medicines include:
Some patients may need surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve. Techniques include:
How well you do depends on the cause of the problem. If there is no disease causing the problem, treatment can provide some relief.
In some persons, the pain becomes constant and severe.

Secondary Education
Preparing for a Career in Education
Graduates with a degree in education from Alderson Broaddus University find themselves well prepared for positions K-12 educational settings. We encourage our students to choose a primary certification area and then broaden their background to include an additional endorsement.
Please scroll down for checksheets
Education Dept. Student Handbook | Student Teacher Handbook | Candidate Performance | Financial Information | Student Default Rate | Career Placement
Personal and Individual Attention From Experienced and Caring Faculty
The faculty for teacher education is made up of both full-time college teachers and clinical and adjunct faculty members from the public schools. The full-time faculty members hold doctorate degrees and have previous experience in K-12 education. Adjunct faculty members are master teachers in the local public schools who teach college courses in their area of expertise. Clinical faculty members teach courses along with full-time faculty. Students spend time in the clinical teachers' K-12 classrooms observing lessons and working with students under the direction of both teachers. All of the education faculty members are committed to creating a high quality learning experience for the education student. Small class sizes and individualized academic advising allow faculty to create a supportive environment in which students can learn, grow and mature.
Field Experiences
Our program includes the opportunity for working in the schools from the first semester on campus. Early field experience helps teacher education students connect teaching strategies and information learned in the college classroom with the real world of schools. First year students spend about one hour a week in the schools. The second and third year students generally spend about two hours a week. Seniors spend about six hours a week during their first semester in the classroom with the teachers with whom they will be student teaching for all of the second semester. At all levels, the college students have opportunities to share special moments from their field experiences with their college teachers and their peers. Special field experiences give our students multicultural experiences beyond our rural area.
Opportunities for Professional Experiences
You will have many opportunities for involvement in experiences that will help you develop as a well rounded teacher and that will make you very attractive to future employers. You can participate in: Student Education Association; C.A.R.E., an after-school tutoring program; annual Education Day; Special Olympics; State professional association meetings; and area professional organizations with student chapters on campus.
High Program Standards
All education programs at the College are accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) and the West Virginia Department of Education.
Students are also held to high standards and must maintain a 2.5 overall GPA in their specialty areas to remain in education. Our program is based on a model that emphasizes preparing students who are Informed, Thoughtful and Sensitive (ITS model). We prepare students who are knowledgeable about their content areas and about teaching and can apply their knowledge in the classroom. We help our students to become reflective individuals who evaluate their actions and take responsibility for their own learning and growth. We foster sensitivity in our students so that they may better meet the professional and ethical responsibilities of teaching and be able to effectively reach out to all the students they will encounter.
Opportunities Upon Graduation
Teacher Education graduates will leave with West Virginia teacher certification, which is accepted in over 35 other states. Students are also qualified to take positions in related fields. Some graduates move directly into graduate programs.
Teacher Certification Areas in Secondary Education
In our program, you will be able to choose between the following teaching specializations: social studies grade 5-9 or 5-Adult; English grade 5-9 or 5-Adult; mathematics grade 5-9 or 5-Adult; general science grade 5-9 or 5-Adult; biology 9-Adult [dormant] or chemistry 9-Adult [dormant]; physical education PreK-Adult, health education Pre-K-Adult, music PreK-Adult. You also have the option of choosing a minor in an area of interest to you such as philosophy and religion, theater, computer science and psychology where you may be able to design special courses in education to complement your minor.
Alderson Broaddus University has been in the business of preparing effective teachers for more than 100 years. In our program, you will be challenged to become an outstanding teacher who will be excellent in the classroom and given the tools to work for the constant improvement of education. A great teacher begins as a student who appreciates learning, who values other people, and who wants to serve in a worthy profession.

text: 5 The Hobbit (The Adult Edition)TibleyBobley | 02/05/2007 | See all TibleyBobley's reviews (56)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Books Reviewer It's become the fashion in recent years to produce 'Adult Editions' of children's books. This normally involves nothing more than giving the book a different cover and charging a bit more for it. In the case of this reading of The Hobbit (which doesn't actually claim to be and adult edition), the description would have some real meaning. I've listened to 3 different audiobooks of The Hobbit. This is the most adult-orientated. It's expertly read by Martin Shaw, using realistic voices - never over-doing it for effect. The abridgement is so good that I had to check with my book to see what had been left out. If you would prefer to listen to an unabridged reading, the Rob Inglis version is also very good, but is possibly more suitable for children. It's a children's book after all, so we mustn't grumble about that. The 3rd version, from BBC Radio's dramatised collection, is aimed squarely at the very youngest audience and some of the characters have screechy, exaggerated voices that will probably not appeal to many adults.So, if you're an adult who (like me) enjoys some children's literature, this audiobook definitely provides the most mature reading of the bunch. It's about 6 blissfully relaxing hours long.

DENVER, Colorado - April 2002 -- Crown International takes advantage of NSCA this year to roll out its new flagship amplifier line for the fixed installation market, the CTs Series. CTs builds upon the heritage of Crown's popular Com-Tech line by delivering higher power and better power density, greater flexibility and a more competitive price structure. The Crown CTs Series is comprised of six amplifiers: the two-channel CTs 600, 1200, 2000 and 3000, four-channel CTs 4200 and eight-channel CTs 8200. Every CTs amplifier uniquely provides a choice of direct constant voltage outputs (70V and, on four models, 100V) and low impedance outputs (8Ω, 4Ω and, on four models, 2Ω), while increased output power at every impedance improves system headroom at practical power steps. "Having direct constant voltage and low impedance outputs on every CTs model simplifies a system integrator's purchasing decision by standardizing on flexible amplifiers at any power range," says Stephen Morris, Crown International marketing director for installed sound and cinema. "And CTs easily satisfies all power and performance requirements within one line." A CobraNetT digital audio input option is currently available for each of the four two-channel CTs models, and Crown announces future plans to include a similar option for the CTs 4200/8200. Last year, Crown became the world's first amplifier manufacturer to offer direct CobraNet compatibility with the launch of its USP2/CN module. Every CTs Series amplifier is housed in low profile, all-steel 2U frame, except for the CTs 8200, which features a 3U chassis. Furthermore, two-channel models feature a shallow rack depth of 14 inches, while multi-channel models are only 16.25 inches deep. The CTs 600, 1200, 4200 and 8200 each utilize Crown's proven AB+B Multi-Mode output topology to deliver the maximum reliability that has long been the manufacturer's hallmark. The higher-powered CTs 2000 and 3000 harness Crown's patented Balanced Current Amplifier (BCA, or Class 'I') technology for paramount efficiency coupled with the same Crown dependability. The use of a highly efficient new switch mode power supply greatly reduces overall amplifier weight and enables even the eight-channel model to benefit from the use of a standard 15 Amp IEC power connector. CTs amplifiers feature sophisticated protection circuitry, including a new AC line voltage monitor that protects the amplifier by shutting it down in the event of an over- or under-voltage condition, and then flashes the blue power indicator light for quick troubleshooting. Both of the multi-channel amplifiers additionally employ a new 'FIT' (Fault Independent Topology) design that isolates any fault conditions without affecting neighboring channels. Dual input sensitivity switches on the two-channel CTs 600, 1200, 2000 and 3000 allow users to optimize gain structures per channel. The four-channel CTs 4200 and eight-channel CTs 8200, which offer ideal independent power solutions for multi-zoned systems, are outfitted with new IQ and VCA features that enable remote amplifier control and/or monitoring at affordable price points. All two-channel models are fully PIP2 compatible. Switchable High Pass Filters (flat, 35Hz and 70Hz) permit low frequencies to be rolled off for constant voltage applications. Efficient heat sinks and a fully proportional-speed fan provide fast and even heat dissipation for extra amplifier protection and extended component life. Sleek and sophisticated in appearance, the only user control on the face of each CTs amplifier is a single power button, while a comprehensive array of front-panel LEDs clearly indicate channel mode status, channel activation, IQ status, signal strength, thermal protection, clip and fault. Rear panels feature removable Phoenix-style input connectors and barrier block output connectors. Each channel is equipped with its own precision detented volume control, and mode switches for channel pairs allow simple configuration for either low-impedance or constant voltage use. Slots for Crown accessory modules, including the CobraNet input option, are also found on the back panel in addition to a detachable IEC inlet and reset button. And, like all of Crown's amplifiers, CTs products are backed by the manufacturer's industry-exclusive Three-year, No-fault, Fully Transferable Warranty. Minimum guaranteed power ratings are as follows:
Power per channel pair in Bridge-Mono mode:

Sharp Laboratories Selects FloEFD.V5 Engineering Fluid Dynamics Software for CATIA V5
October 2007
Sharp Laboratories Europe has selected Flomerics' FloEFD.V5 engineering fluid dynamics software, embedded in CATIA V5, for the design and virtual prototype testing of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) modules for various applications in Europe. "We are very pleased that Sharp Laboratories has chosen FloEFD.V5. For analysis to become an integral step in the design process, it needs to fit within the product development process with minimal disruption to the workflow. Since FloEFD.V5 is embedded in CATIA V5, Sharp Laboratories can use a single interface for both design and analysis and take advantage of virtual prototyping at the design stage to further improve their market leading products" said Gary Carter, Flomerics' CEO. "We selected FloEFD.V5 because it was the most accessible Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software for engineers working with CATIA V5. Analysis results are easily generated and also improve communication between different groups within the company" said Scott Boham, mechanical design engineer. "FloEFD.V5 will be used by mechanical design engineers with varying levels of CFD experience – from novice to expert."
Sharp Laboratories of Europe is a research center for consumer electronics and has played a vital role in Sharp's global R&D in liquid crystals since 1990. Liquid crystals occupy a state of matter in between liquid and solid, in which the materials are fluid but possess some intermolecular ordering. Liquid crystal devices are made from anisotropic organic molecules, which can change orientation on application of an applied voltage. Using this simple concept transmissive or reflective electro-optic shutters and displays can be made. LCDs have excellent image quality and exhibit features not possible in other display technologies, such as light weight, thinness and low power consumption. They have become the display of choice in many products such as TVs, computer monitors and portable media devices.

Also, this is news to me. Lately I've been seeing a lot of the big projects to be finished, delayed to unknown degrees, or cancelled? What other projects do you speak of?
A cut episode involved Rainbow Dash and Applejack encountering a deer family in Whitetail Wood, and a pony living among them. This pony would have had branches tied to his head because he was abandoned as a filly and raised by a deer. It is unknown whether the deer would have been sentient or not. The conflict would have been between Dash (who would have wanted to reveal the truth) and Applejack (who would have wanted to leave well enough alone).

Mr. Sefrol wrote: The spell was something solely for the purpose of Starswirl to use if we hold his words to be true. The act in itself of making said spell was supposed to be something unheard of. And to be able to complete a spell that was unheard of over someone as well renowned as Starswirl is what made the act so outstanding. It's probably now hidden away for the safety that someone won't use it for their own purposes. Or it's only a spell that is effective on someone who is first capable of even making the spell to begin with. Sort of like the rules behind Thor's hammer, Mjölnir: "Whosoever is worth of lifting Mjölnir will have the powers of Thor."
Mr. Sefrol wrote:@ J: It's okay to argue that she was always destined to become an Alicorn, but looking also at the canon that you want to solely base your theories on, then looking at the spell should show it was the thing that pushed the Alicorn transformation for first being a spell that switched destinies. A finalized form would then essential alter destinies, and this case altered hers to rise to another level of power. You say it was always her destiny to become an Alicorn, but who said how she would attain it?
You can't dismiss the spell from being the cause of the transformation after its first effect. You could argue that it was Celestia that transformed her in the ethereal plain, but to say the spell's only effect was to transport her there doesn't feel right. It could have just been like the scene in the last movie of Harry Potter where he is in the afterlife train station and meets Dumbledore, but all being inside his head happening in a single moment. Or it could be right that its only effect was to transport her there, and that the ethereal plain is a location that one is able to be transformed. But both ideas are just theories. So that's what we have to work with. We don't have enough info to say this or that just on the canon alone.
You can say the spell is cheap, but there's not a lot of wiggle room to avoid it in my opinion. And as for the spell being only for the worthy or a one time use, it's possible for the first and highly unlikely for the latter. Maybe even it might be used in the season premier that an evil character uses the spell. It'd sure be interesting to me at least.

Moms who work part-time are healthier and happier

Follow @Work_It_MomRead the original story here
According to a new study, moms who work part-time (less than 32 hours a week) have better health and lower frequency of depression than stay-at-home moms. In addition, "in many areas, the emotional well-being and health of moms working part time was no different from mothers holding down full-time positions -- even if there were differences in paychecks."

Unconsciousness is when a person is unable to respond to people and activities. Often, this is called a coma or being in a comatose state.
Other changes in awareness can occur without becoming unconscious. Medically, these are called "altered mental status" or "changed mental status." They include sudden confusion, disorientation, or stupor.
Unconsciousness or any other sudden change in mental status must be treated as a medical emergency.
If someone is awake but less alert than usual, ask a few simple questions, such as:
Wrong answers or an inability to answer the question suggest a change in mental status.
Loss of consciousness - first aid; Coma - first aid; Mental status change; Altered mental status
Being asleep is not the same thing as being unconscious. A sleeping person will respond to loud noises or gentle shaking -- an unconscious person will not.
An unconscious person cannot cough or clear his or her throat. This can lead to death if the airway becomes blocked.
Unconsciousness can be caused by nearly any major illness or injury, as well as substance abuse and alcohol use .
Brief unconsciousness (or fainting ) is often caused by dehydration, low blood sugar , or temporary low blood pressure. However, it can also be caused by serious heart or nervous system problems. Your doctor will determine if you need tests.
Other causes of fainting include straining during a bowel movement (vasovagal syncope), coughing very hard, or breathing very fast (hyperventilating).
The person will be unresponsive (does not respond to activity, touch, sound, or other stimulation).
The following symptoms may occur after a person has been unconscious:
Call 911 if the person is unconscious and:
Call 911 if the person regains consciousness but:
People with known medical conditions, such as diabetes , should always wear a medical alert tag or bracelet.

Designed for race days, this ¾ length performance tight uses Arc'teryx Altavela™ fabric to wick moisture and deliver a supportive fit with excellent stretch. The Race Pocket system uses strategically sized and placed pockets for rapid access to essential items needed on extended runs.
Created specifically for women, these have a carefully developed pattern with body mapped articulation that enhances the fabrics stretch properties and delivers a three dimensional range of motion without binding or creeping. Flatlock construction creates a smoother surface to reduce irritation, and streamlining the Race Pocket System into the waistband keeps them accessible but out of the way.
Altavela™ stretch fabric is a 74% polyester, 26% spandex blend. This creates dynamic, long lasting stretch performance with excellent moisture release and quick drying properties. Powernet Stretch Mesh is strategically employed to help maximize ventilation.
For serious runners and competitors, streamlined performance is essential, enduring comfort is key, and everything needs to work together. To that end, these tights are carefully designed to work in tandem with other Arc'teryx Endorphin gear. Pair it with Sarix SS top for a top flight, race ready system.

Creamy Pesto Caprese Pasta Casserole
With the cooler weather here I don't have to worry about the heat that having the oven on will create and that means that things like casseroles are back on the menu! Since the tomatoes and basil is still around I took advantage of the opportunity to make a 'caprese' pasta casserole with some fresh tomatoes and basil pesto; along with plenty of melted mozzarella of course! This recipe is super simple consisting of cooked pasta, marinara sauce, fresh cherry tomatoes, pesto, mozzarella and a touch of cream for richness, and is all mixed together and baked until the cheese has melted. There is just something that is magical about the combination of the tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, mozzarella and cream and it works so amazingly well in this pasta casserole! One of the best things about this casserole is how the cherry tomatoes on top roast up, concentrating their flavour, and how the ones in the middle explode with warm tomato-y goodness in your mouth!
Just look at all of that melted cheese!
