apache cannot start after creating a new site
I made a new site yesterday with all default settings, didn't touch anything except I created a db for it to mess with some old db I had etc.
today I run ubuntu again and apache won't start
I run:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
and get:
* Starting web server apache2 Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/example.bounceme.net/web] does not exist
contents of example.bounceme.net.vhost are:
<Directory /var/www/example.bounceme.net>
any help please ? I am noob and only solution for me without a help will be to reinstall server ... much mess !
any help appreciated
very nice
guess what. I reinstalled the server all from scratch.
created a new site, made a db and an ftp user for it.
all connected fine except ftp user.
so I restarted computer.
same result as above but with web1 this time.
it was working perfect. go NO IDEA what went wrong with it....
edit: I am following this step by step and doing it all perfect:
the exact msg I get on terminal after apache restart is this:
* Restarting web server apache2
Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/example.bounceme.net/web] does not exist
apache2: bad user name web1
well I am reinstalling again (HAPPY HOURS !!)
some comments I would like you to clear for me if possible,
I always get stuck at this point on this page:
The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.10 [ISPConfig 3] - Page 4
Next we install maildrop as follows:
update-alternatives --remove-all maildir.5
update-alternatives --remove-all maildirquota.7
I get the this on terminal:
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for maildir.5.
so searching for this I found this topic:
.. and this rsd-17 guy suggests to do place them like this that doesn't give back an error so this is what I do:
update-alternatives --remove-all maildir.5.gz
update-alternatives --remove-all maildirquota.7.gz
hope this is not what causes the mess !
As you reinstalled the server, we are not able to help you with fixing the problem.
How shall we able to help you when you remove the files that caused the problem. You are really funny. ;)
If your car is not working and you go to a garage and ask them what the problem is. They tell you to show them the car and then you say, oh, you want to see my car. I dont have it anymore....
of course this is absolutely logical, of course I know that, but thanks for explaining.
All I mean is, I got no idea how it happened. Now it works because I didn't touch the php.ini files yet.
When it comes to this moment I think the problem will come back !
You have not mentioned in your prior posts that the problems started after you changed a php.ini file. If you say what you changed in the php.ini, we might be able to tell you why it caused that problemand how to solve it.
I agree, but now, cause when it happened I didn't know such changes can screw it,
All I had changed was these:
display_errors = Off
disable_functions = show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, phpinfo, popen, proc_open
allow_url_fopen = Off
memory_limit = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300
session.gc_maxlifetime = 10000
make ftpd show hidden files:
echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DisplayDotFiles
you think those could affect ?
The problem was that you disabled system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, popen, proc_open for cli-php. ISPConfig is a php script and if you disable exec for commandline scripts, then you disable the ability that ispconfig can configure your server. Disabling exec for php-cli is not nescessary as it is already a commandline script itself.

Sparkling White
Sparkling wine is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it making it fizzy. The classic example of a sparkling wine is Champagne, but many other examples are produced in other countries and regions, such as Cava in Spain, Franciacorta in Italy (the generic Italian term for sparkling wine being Spumante), Sekt in Germany and Cap Classique in South Africa. In some parts of the world, the word "champagne" is used as a synonym for sparkling wine, although laws in Europe and other countries reserve the word champagne for a specific type from the Champagne region of France.

How tightly is growth in trucking employment tied to rising freight tonnage? Not as tightly as you might think, based on a review of U.S. payroll and tonnage data.
Employment and tonnage trends are diverging in 2011, a comparison of the sequential monthly percentage changes for both shows. For shippers, that divergence is one more warning of tighter truck capacity and higher rates.
It also suggest that trucking companies, like many other businesses, are reluctant to increase their payrolls in the face of mounting economic uncertainty.
In the chart below, I've matched the monthly percentage change in trucking employment over the past year from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data against for-hire truck tonnage figures from the American Trucking Associations.
Through the end of 2010, we see the kind of relationship between tonnage and employment we might expect. Sequential increases in tonnage last September and October were followed by a 0.5 percent increase in employment in November.
Tonnage increases of 2.5 and 3.5 percent in December and January were followed by a 0.8 percent spike in trucking employment in February, when motor carriers added 11,000 jobs in reaction to strengthening freight demand, according to the BLS.
But when tonnage increased 1.9 percent in March and 2.6 percent in June, a jump in employment didn't follow. In fact, the growth rate of trucking's payroll has been slowing since February, dropping to 0.1 percent in July, the BLS data show.
The 110,000 for-hire carriers tracked by BLS only added 1,300 jobs in July, according to the Labor Department agency's seasonally adjusted data.
A year-over-year comparison of the monthly BLS trucking employment data shows hiring increasing from last October through April, when the growth rate reached 3.1 percent. Since April, however, that rate has stayed between 3 and 3.3 percent.
Whatever its cause, trucking's slow employment growth rate means shippers should not expect capacity, as measured by available personnel, to keep up with demand if for-hire truck tonnage rises again in the fall as the peak-shipping season arrives.
As of July, trucking employment had increased 2.3 percent since January, 3 percent from a year ago and 4 percent from the 10-year nadir it hit in March 2010, the BLS data indicate. Trucking employment was still 7.6 percent lower than July 2008.

S&P says would be happy to issue UAE credit rating
Better data, transparency needed for sovereign rating.
November 9, 2010 9:41 by Reuters
Standard & Poor's would be happy to issue a sovereign credit rating for the United Arab Emirates, its head of sovereign ratings for Europe, the Middle East and Africa said, but transparency and disclosure were key requisites.
The seven-member UAE federation is unrated, and the absence of a sovereign credit rating has remained an obstacle to widening the investor base following Dubai's debt crisis which rattled global financial markets last year.
"We would welcome the step to issue a sovereign credit rating for the UAE, but ultimately it's the decision of the government and central bank to come forward," Moritz Kraemer, head of EMEA sovereign ratings at S&P, told Reuters.
"We also continue to follow the developments of Dubai and obviously, if they contact us, we would be happy to do so."
Dubai returned to international debt markets in September with its first sovereign bond issue since a debt crisis rattled investors a year ago, attracting healthy demand for the $1.25 billion on offer.
"When Dubai issued the bond, they declared their attitude towards ratings but they decided that this was not the right time. This is why the bond is not rated," he said, adding that governments usually seek a credit rating before issuing bonds.
The unrated issue was four times subscribed and priced at a yield of 6.7 percent on the $500 million five-year tranche and 7.75 percent for the $750 million 10-year tenor with spreads of 542.7 and 527 basis points respectively, over U.S. Treasuries.
Dubai and its companies have been climbing out of a $100 billion-plus debt hole over the past year. Richer emirate Abu Dhabi and its banks signed up for half of its $20 billion rescue programme for state-owned enterprises such as Dubai World .
"In most cases a debt issue is a trigger for governments to request a rating because they want to issue a bond. Obviously, the UAE have very unique features and fiscal federalism contrary to any other federations we have. There is clearly one big kid on the block and the others walk along with that," Kraemer said.
"Abu Dhabi has an almost zero probability of default, but if you have all eggs in one basket, you are vulnerable. Clearly, there most be a drive to diversify the economy, and Dubai has shown these risks," he said.
S&P has an AA rating for Abu Dhabi — seen as a stronger credit thanks to its oil revenues — and an A rating for the emirate of Ras al-Khaimah.
Banking sources said in October the government of Ras al-Khaimah was planning a bond issue worth at least $500 million. [ID:nLDE69E0A6]
Kraemer however said lack of transparency and regulation were still issues that hampered credit ratings in the country.
"The quality and the timeliness of the data is still below par and the depth of the data available. This is not Norway or Switzerland," he said. "It is a process and quite a cultural change the way economic policy making has been happening."

The Scoop On Your Favorite Country Star's Halloween
October 31, 2013 10:36 AM
June Knight Read More
Happy Halloween! I just found out that Jason Aldean posted an instagram photo of himself hunting in the woods with a clown mask, nose, and black chamoflage paint. It turns out Jason let his Buck Commander buddies pick out his costume for him.
Billy Currington says "Dracula was his favorite guy" and his favorite costume as a kid. Tyler Farr syas he dress up as an icecream cone when he was in college. Brett Eldridge and his friends went as Teletubbies a few years ago. Luke Bryan says that Halloween can be very "informative" because you "find out a lot about your neighbors based on the candy they hand out." Bryan says he's looking forward to taking his kids out trick or treating. I wonder what Luke hands out???

They definitely made the right choice to market this to adults. Very smart move. Nothing will impress a single woman at an exciting night club, or that client at the big meeting, like a couple of hammy, injection-molded magic tricks that came in a mail order kit.
"Uh, maybe you've heard of Criss Angel? I, an adult, used money I earned at my job, to purchase a magic kit on the Internet."
FACT: adults love magic. FACT: the President's Book of Secrets is actually a Criss Angel Platinum Magic Kit. I love how that's not even Criss Angel. That is a Craigslist casting call respondent dressed in a $15 "rock-n-roll" outfit from TJ Maxx. Good work, everyone. BUY NOW! (Thanks for the tip, Tom and Nora.)

I'm assuming this magic kit includes Ed Hardy tshirts, eyeliner, and lots of chain necklaces. That's how Criss Angel has been working his magic on me for years.
New Taking One For The Team: Joe Mande has to learn Criss Angel magic.
I'm pretty sure my brother and I got pretty much this exact kit for Christmas in 1983. "Make the silk scarf disappear!" (By stuffing it into a rubber prosthetic thumb!)
Yay, my tip was used! Sorry, everyone!
I like when they scroll through all of the names of the tricks, and there is one called "BEHIND YOU" and another called "STATIC CLING." My mind is just freaking right now thinking about what those tricks could possibly be.
Also, check out this awesome review of said kit. Wait for when the kid says "Spongebob" instead of sponge balls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21P9aDno4xg&feature=related
Those fools at Mindfreak, Inc. don't know I can learn all the magic tricks I'll ever need from the Bing Sponsored Links (TM) below this post.
Well someone's out of the Alliance.
That's Your Theme Song: The Criss Angel "Mindfreak" Song
Remember that time that Michael Scott went to magic camp for kids?
Related: remember that time when The Office was fresh and funny? *sob*
I don't know guys, my weekends are pretty lame. $30 dollars doesn't seem that bad to learn new ways of getting rejected by women.
if you watch this and don't think of lighter fluid during "salt production" you are probably dead inside.
I thought mind freak was a person (as in chris angel), not a magic trick, as the commercial implies. Going with this logic, calling his show chris angel: mind freak would be like calling MJ's show Michael Jordan: Jump Shot. That's weak.
Over $200 Value!!!!
What? Please explain. Show your work.
I'd love to see Criss Angel try to make the Cups & Balls routine… cool? Is he considered like… the edgy magician?
NO ONE sounds cool saying "cups & balls."

About The Restaurant
Since first opening its doors, tucked away on the exclusive Eastmoreland Place in Dublin's D4, the Dylan Hotel has been one of Dublin's hottest destinations. Apart from it being a great place to stay, it's Restaurant, Cocktail Bar and terraces have attracted the who's who of Dublin society in droves for top notch food and cocktails in a sophisticated buzzy environment.
The restaurant is total luxury in dusty purples and browns, with attentive top notch service to match its surroundings. I have had many cracking meals here and I have never been disappointed in any way. You know it is a place that you can reliably bring people you want to impress, or just have a fun night with friends or family at decent prices.
Chef Glenn Murphy is at the helm in the kitchen and his food has all the culinary tweaks to delight any serious foodie. Starters include a ham hock and chicken terrine with Port & Madeira gel, spiced plum chutney, toasted brioche, and apple and watercress. An Assiette of Heritage Beetroots is paired with Ardsalagh goats cheese mousse, smoked beetroot puree and savoury crumb, whilst cured Clare Island organic salmon is with shaved fennel and orange, and a yuzu gel. On my last visit I had a superb leek and Parmesan Risotto with a fricassee of duck, with a Parmesan tuille, whilst himself had the Heritage Beetroots.
The menus changes seasonally, but on my recent visit included seared cannon of Wicklow lamb, perfectly pink and delicious, paired with peas, broad beans and wild mushrooms, with wild garlic puree and buttermilk potato. A 28 Day Dry Aged Fillet of Irish beef, for himself, was divine served with salt baked celeriac, onion ash, black truffle and a Pedro Ximinez reduction. Other mains included pan fried fillet of Sea Bream, another favourite of mine, with cauliflower cream, Savoy cabbage, pan fried micro vegetables and black sesame puree. Pan fried fillet of cod was with turnip puree, figs, Iberico ham, wild mushrooms and chestnuts whilst supreme of Irish Free Range Chicken had a black pudding gratin, asparagus, bacon lardons, baby carrots with Calvados cream. Vegetarians are also well catered for here with a caramelized shallot and mushroom tartlet involving Mount Callan cheddar and served with herb mash and organic leaves. The other vegetarian choice was butternut squash and sage risotto.
Desserts are to die for. Think of rich sinful chocolate fondant, pistachio puree, and salted ice cream, or chocolate and orange brulee tart with an orange and Cointreau compote. I went with plum and frangipane tart with plum jam, yogurt sorbet and maple syrup cream – Heavenly!
They also do a lovely well priced lunch menu with dishes such as confit duck leg with parsnip, Beluga lentils and Port jus, or a melt in the mouth daube of beef with caramelized shallots, celeriac and vanilla puree, and herb potato. Also check out their great Early Bird menu – and they have a children's 2 course menu.
It's the perfect place for a party – I know – I've had two book launches at the Dylan.

ah. another friday night with nothing to do . wonderful. this makes it the ............shit i cant remember when the weekend was anything to look foward to . lol . i think the reason the weekend isnt anything to look foward is a combination of me havin no girly and having shitty friends . even if im ugly and cant get bitches i should be able to have fun with my friends . well i hate my friends .thats a messed up thing to say , but i don't care . my friends aren't good for me . when i don't hang out with them for awhile things are better off for me . i feel better about myself . i am more focused on school and stuff . and girls come around . at least that is what happened before when i did that . i think i am goin to see if it happens again . my friends have a negative impact on me . they make me feel shitty about myself they do stupid immature things and are just plain stupid . they might have similiar feelings about me . i dotn care . i kind of look foward to growing up . hopefully i get to pick some new friends . that owuld be cool. i think the only reason i still even talk to my friends is the face that i have to see them in school . and that i have known them from my younger years . its just a routine . a habit . one that i need to break .

Klute Releases The Emperor's Clothes
- Words: Cameron Octigan
UK drum & bass producer Tom Withers (a.k.a. Klute) unleashes his fifth full-length, The Emperor's Clothes, on Breakbeat Science (in conjunction with his very own imprint, Commercial Suicide) this summer–and it's more eclectic than ever.
Originally released in the UK on CS, the album will hit Stateside in a slightly different form, featuring some exclusive 12" cuts and a couple of unreleased numbers. Both versions of the album feature the track "Property Is Theft," which is essentially a reworking of "Rutti" by quintessential shoegazers Slowdive.
Klute is far from another drum & bass producer changing with the times. Starting out with quasi-famous punks The Stupids, he eventually dabbled in techno and has since released an abundance of records that experiment with ambience, tech-funk, and everything in between. Drum & bass followed, and nowadays you'll find Withers toying with everything from spooky techno to breakbeat–all while staying punk.
The Emperor's New Clothes is out in July 2007 on BBS.

So about 2 months ago I found out that Lenovo was going to release an android tablet based on its business line of ThinkPad laptops. Since I happen to own a Lenovo Ideapad I was somewhat intrigued. So I did a little more digging about the internet to find more about this new tablet from this great company. The more I read about it the more I had to have it. The specs and the features speak for them selves, it is the best android 3.1 tablet on the market. I even talked sul into wanting one so bad hes going to be purchasing one at the end of the month.
- NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 Dual-Core 1GHz processor
- Android™ 3.1
- 10.1" WXGA (1280×800) 16:10 IPS panel with Corning® Gorilla® Glass
- Multitouch display with digitizer input (pen optional)
- Starting at 1.65 lbs
- Up to 8 hours battery life (with WiFi enabled)
- Up to 64GB storage
- Bluetooth®, WiFi and 3G connectivity
- Native USB 2.0 and micro-USB ports, full-size SD card slot and mini-HDMI output
I purchased my Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet the day it was released Aug 23, It has yet to ship. I find that I should of waited for it to come to Amazon instead of buying it direct from Lenovo. The order system says its supposed to ship on the 12th. I really hope it comes soon. I want to put it up against the iPad pretty bad.
In other news, as most of my friends know I'm an Android guy through and through, however the lack of innovative smartphones on Sprint's lineup has forced me to consider purchasing an iPhone 5 when it is released on Sprint. I really hope that a good Android phone shows up on the Sprint scene.
As for the Anime scene right now it's looking a little bleak. All I have to look forward to right now is Bleach and Fairy Tail every week. Shakugan no Shana III and Working!! (Second Season) are slated for next season, which makes next season at least more fun than watching the rest of Steins;Gate.
I know I haven't posted in a while, but there just hasn't been that many thing I wanted to blog about lately. See ya'll soon when my Tablet comes in!
Kabi out.

ferrous scrap,
scrap prices,
shredded scrap,
February scrap prices,
Lisa Gordon,
Sean Davidson
ISTANBUL A late bounce in ferrous scrap prices in some pockets of the Midwest prevented key markets like Chicago and St. Louis from settling Feb. 6 as previously anticipated, even as trading in other markets like Detroit and parts of the Ohio Valley came to a close.
Early buying by mills in the Detroit region with little incentive to chase scrap pushed final prices down $20 per gross on all grades, except turnings, compared with January levels.
But outside of Detroit, February negotiations in the Midwest were still very much ongoing late in the day Feb. 6.
In Chicago, some mills had traded at prices that were down $10 per ton during the early hours of buying, but a subsequent push back from dealers brought some renewed strength, with later trades reportedly down just $5, market sources said.
Sources said they largely expected the Chicago market to settle late Feb. 6 or by the afternoon of Feb. 7 as mills look to fix prices for their remaining February requirements.
"Things appear to be firming up, though, as supply seems a little tighter than anticipated and demand is a little stronger than expected with a short shipping month," a buyer for one Chicago-area producer said.
One supplier in Chicago said he was content with a market that was down $10 on such grades as shredded as prior speculation had pegged the drop at $10 to $20.
"In such a scenario, when you finish at $10 or under you feel pretty good. We havent had much of a winter. Combine that with a weak export market and mill demand, and this months drop isnt that bad," he said. "Of course, weve had a cold snap now that has sent scrap flows spiraling down, so were not going to have a normal February in terms of scrap collection."
The trend was similar in St. Louis. Two consumers secured some early volumes at down $15 per ton for cut grades and down $12 to $13 for prime grades, sources said, but mills that stepped in later were reportedly trading at prices that were down $10 to sideways on some grades as the market appeared to strengthen.
But in Northwest Indiana, the market was a bit weaker, with early trades said down $15 per ton or slightly more, depending on the grade.
Moving east, after some mills in Cleveland entered the market Feb. 5 at down $20 per ton, the remaining mills and scrap sellers fell in line on Feb. 6 and the city settled down $20 across the board. One Cleveland-area mill was trying to pick up scrap at down $25, but no sellers were motivated to accept the offer, sources said.
Youngstown, Ohio, followed suit and settled for February at a $20-per-ton discount to January deals.
"Things have been slow to settle because there is so much confusion, and people are treading cautiously," a broker selling into Ohio said.
Some of the Ohio Valley weakness might be due to an excess of material from Canadian suppliers, the Ohio broker said. "Mills in Canada are not doing overly well right now, so they are not consuming the scrap generated in their own area. Canada has scrap surplus and they are pushing the scrap down here."
Meanwhile, mills in the Cincinnati area picked up their scrap needs at down $15, while Pittsburghwhich hadnt settledremained a moving target. There is an expectation that prime grades of scrap might mirror Cincinnati and retreat $15 per ton, while shredded scrap might fall $20 after all the buying is completed, sources said.
In the Southeast, prices were also looking to be down $15 per ton, sources said. Many suppliers were still waiting for mills to enter the market, while other sellers held off in hopes of sideways transactions, sources told AMM.
Lisa Gordon, Pittsburgh, contributed to this story.

The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) and the Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES) within the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Directorate (SBE) wish to bring to your attention our goal of stimulating research related to the Science of Broadening Participation (SBP). A Science of Broadening Participation will employ the cognitive, behavioral, social and economic sciences to inform approaches to broadening participation and will strengthen our national science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) capabilities and competitive advantage. Ultimately, the SBP can provide policy makers with the evidence needed for informed decisions.
In FY 2012, BCS and SES will support research that utilizes the theories, methods and analytical techniques of the social, behavioral and economic sciences to better understand the barriers as well as factors that enhance our ability to broaden participation in STEM. Supported research may identify from an empirical standpoint those strategies most likely to improve the representation and participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities who are under-represented in STEM fields. This is important because it would provide an opportunity to understand from an evidence-based perspective what works to increase the scientific talent pool.
SBP involves the development and testing of theories aimed at discovering and understanding the causality, components and contingencies for social interactions and behavioral processes. The focus within SBP is on the psychological, sociological, behavioral and economic causes and consequences associated with effectively broadening participation, and is broader than a focus on a particular program or policy as in program evaluation.
Prospective research proposals in the Science of Broadening Participation might be guided by the following types of research questions:
•What role does geographic and demographic change play in the way that racial, ethnic and cultural groups interact socially at the individual, and group level?
•Under which conditions do social, economic and socio-legal factors influence recruitment and retention into STEM education at both the individual, meso and macro levels?
•What aspects of learning environments and workplace culture moderate the effects of the underrepresentation of minorities, women, and/or persons with disabilities?
•What data sources are needed for identifying and tracking the progress of underrepresented minorities in STEM fields, and for hypothesis testing, and how can we make them accessible to researchers?
•What approaches are successful in ensuring that women do not lose interest in science during adolescence?
•How do social, political, economic, psychological or other forces affect the identity and aspirations of underrepresented minorities?
•How can an understanding of explicit and implicit attitudes held by both majority and minority individuals be useful in attempting to reduce prejudice and discrimination in the recruitment, and retention of underrepresented groups in STEM fields?
•What socio-cultural and developmental variables impact parental involvement in children's education, and what is the evidence that can be applied to affect these influences?
•What behavioral processes result in economic outcomes that are associated with success in STEM?
•What are the implications of linguistic relativity for interest and achievement in STEM?
Scholars with research proposals that contribute to the Science of Broadening Participation should submit proposals to the most relevant standing programs of the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorate and designate the proposal as SBP by including "SBP" at the beginning of the proposal title. The SBE division web sites provide information about the standing programs: http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=SES and http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=BCS.
Successful research proposals will have scientifically sound research plans that are rooted in relevant theory and literature. SBE programs will evaluate these proposals along with other proposals submitted to the standing programs. Proposals will first be evaluated by the standing program to which they are submitted to evaluate their scientific merit, and then by a subcommittee of program officers and NSF leadership to evaluate their contribution to SBP.

Gina Gershon has a hard time with personality tests (ahem!) before breakfast or her daily latte. "My brain is too slow," complains the actress, 45. She must have had some wicked reinforcements, then, while co-writing her first, just-out book for young adults, Camp Creepy Time, a werewolves-mummies-and-vampires tale that's already been optioned for a film. Gershon a part-time rocker who's occasionally known as Ugly Betty's Fabia can be seen as Denis Leary's steady on the new season of FX's Rescue Me. That character's name? "I can't remember.

One thing differentiating businesses on eBay that grow from those that don't is the owners' level of eBay market knowledge. A number of market-place data and software tools from eBay and third parties can help businesses on eBay research their markets to improve results.
eBay's own Marketplace Research is a recent introduction that provides consolidated metrics on up to 90 days of completed items and allows for sophisticated analysis. Marketplace Research is priced in three tiers: Fast Pass for the casual user; Basic for those who want to handle variables such as starting price ranges and number of successful sales; and Pro, which allows for research by related keywords, among other advanced features.
Third-party provider Terapeak uses data licensed from eBay. The web-based service lets sellers and buyers look back through extended time periods to find price trends for completed listings on specific products, along with other sophisticated research tools. Costs range from $9.95 a month to $16.95 a month. Learn more about Terapeak at www.terapeak.com.
DeepAnalysis market research software from HammerTap can do a number of powerful analyses, such as studying how starting price compares to bids. You can also use it to figure out the best category for your items by looking at the number of bids or selling prices for similar items. Learn more about HammerTap and get cost information at www.hammertap.com.
Andale's Research tools help eBay sellers find the success rate and average selling price of any item and identify the price most likely to increase your sales volume. Research services can be purchased a la carte; learn more at www.andale.com.

What's left? The catchall "Resources" link takes you to a page with scores of tools and links on topics from deciding what to sell to eBay's Giving Works charity tool. Learn more about Seller Central at http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral.
What Buyers Want
You can find out what buyers are looking for by using several eBay resources for sellers who want to build their businesses on eBay. Reviews & Guides is a tool buyers can use to decide what to buy and sellers can use to look inside buyers' minds. The "Reviews" section contains eBay user-written comments and ratings for specific products, such as books and CDs. The "Guides" section consists of hand-books written by experts, collectors and other members to give you insight into topics ranging from collectible dolls to caring for antiques.

First day? Welcome!
True or False: You're ready to achieve your higher education and career goals? That's
what we thought. And that's what we're here for. From college to career-we've got
you covered. So get going! Your future's waiting.
Want to strike fear into the heart of grown men and women? Tell 'em you're an auditor. You thought Freddy from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" was a nightmare? Okay, so being an auditor is not that bad. In fact, auditors play an important role in making sure businesses and government run smoothly. Auditors help keep public records in order and up to date. Most auditors prepare, analyze, and verify financial documents for government, business and individuals. But not all auditors work with numbers. Some verify systems are working up to code, some check to make sure a company's documentation is in order. Many auditors are internal auditors, a combination of government accountants and auditors. Management accountants (industrial, corporate or private accountants) work on the financial information of their respective companies. They prepare financial reports and analyze the information to help corporate leaders make sound business decisions. Auditors that work for the Federal Government maintain records for government agencies and audit businesses and people who are subject to government regulation and taxation. A large number of auditors are licensed Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), Public Accountants (PAs), Registered Public Accountants (RPAs), and Accounting Practitioners (APs). There are many types of highly specialized auditors, such as electronic data processing, environmental, engineering, legal, insurance premium, bank, and health care auditors. Computers provide quick information, making them a key tool for auditors. Special software greatly reduces the tedious work associated with record keeping. People planning a career in auditing have to know their numbers. They have to be able to analyze, compare, and interpret facts and figures quickly. They must have excellent communication skills, must be good at working with people and computers, and should have a high standard of integrity. Most auditors work 40-hour weeks –- more during tax season -- usually in cubicle constructed offices. Some employed by the government or private firms may travel extensively to perform audits at a person's home or place of business. Because of the reaction the word auditor can elicit from most, auditors working with the public often deal with highly nervous and sometimes stressed people.
Most auditors need at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. If you want to work for Uncle Sam, you need 4 years of college, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Many schools offer students an opportunity to obtain experience through summer or part-time internships with public accounting or business firms. More and more employees prefer applicants with a master's degree in accounting or a master's degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting. Most states require auditors to be licensed. All CPAs must take a test in order to get their certification. The learning doesn't stop once you have your degree and certification, however. Nearly all states require auditors to complete several hours of continuing professional education before their licenses can be renewed.
Auditors design internal control systems and analyze financial data. Other professions that require the same skill set include appraisers, budget officers, loan officers, financial analysts and managers, bank officers, actuaries, underwriters, tax collectors and revenue agents, FBI special agents, securities sales representatives, and purchasing agents. Some auditors are full-time college and university faculty; others teach part time while working as self-employed accountants, or as salaried accountants for private industry or government.

The Action Family Foundation
(661) 467-2714
20655 Soledad Canyon Road #24
Santa Clarita, CA 91351
Action Family Counseling/Zone is starting to establish a foundation to help with sponsoring teens that may have been affected by drug and alcohol abuse. The founder, Cary Quashen, has dedicated his life to reaching troubled teens and dysfunctional families. His objective is to pass his personal recovery experiences with drugs and alcohol onto the youth of today.
Cary is a Certified Addiction Specialist, interventionist, and a high risk teen counselor which has resulted in him being a nationally known expert with appearances on shows such as Good Morning America and Judge Judy. Cary also provides evaluation, assessments and interventions to parents, school districts and the juvenile justice system. He is even the Executive Director of the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Behavioral Health Unit.
The Action Family Foundation is an organization that is centered on helping those teens and families that may have had an experience with drug and alcohol abuse. One of the projects that they are working on is the "Experience" which is a mobile memorial/ tribute to all the teens that have passed away due to drug overdose. This can be a learning tool to create awareness to prevent future drug abuse. The Youth Grove located in Central Park in Saugus, will be the model that is used to influence the Experience.
One of the other activities to create awareness is the Candlelight Vigil that will be put on every August, the Overdose Awareness Month. At the vigil, families that have lost a loved one to drug abuse share their experience to the audience which include people that are recovering from drug abuse or people that want to show support for others.
The Action Family Counseling Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers has 12 locations with 16 programs in the Southern California area that are based on intensive outpatient, residential treatment programs for both teens and adults, and sober living facilities in Bakersfield and Santa Clarita Valley.
For more information or answers to questions, visit the Action Family Zone website at http://actionfamilycounseling.com/ or for immediate assistance; call the 24-hour helpline at 1-800-367-8336.

This post from our humble Blog hit the front page of Digg about two hours ago. (I thought this was the first time something from the Blog hit the Digg front page but it turns out it is the third time in the last week. Jim Ostrowski's post shooting down Giuliani has been especially popular.) So just to sum up our bizarre and wonderful new reality:
- An intelligent debate on foreign policy occurred
- on a daytime talk show
- led by Rosie O'Donnell
- sparked by comments made by Ron Paul
- which was posted by Lew to the LRC Blog
- hit the front page of Digg
- and sparked an excellent discussion there.
I'm feeling a little woozy from dropping through whatever tear in the fabric of reality we all just fell through but I don't want to go back!11:51 am on May 18, 2007 Email Stephen W. Carson

Finally accepted into American River College's RN program! - page 2
Hello everyone. My name is Cortney, I'm 31 and from Sacramento, CA. I found out last week (on my birthday!) that I was finally accepted into ARC's nursing program!! I applied 7 times= 3.5 years waiting. I will start in January... Read More
- 1Nov 15, '12 by LyricallunaCongrats I have yet to heard back yet either. We usually will get a rejection email if anything so there is still hope =]
- 0Nov 15, '12 by dreambig2015Yeah the fact that I have not received a rejection letter yet gives me some hope.
- 0Nov 15, '12 by MarykdarlingCongratulations!!! I actually just finished my last pre-req in the Spring of 2012, so Spring of 2013 was the first semester I could get in, and I just found I was accepted as Samuel Merritt! I am SUPER excited! My friend has been applying to ARC for 6 semesters, almost like you, & hasn't heard back yet... I'm hoping they haven't told everyone yet, because I feel REALLY bad that I got in before her. Do you know anyone else that heard after you, or do you speculate they sent all the acceptance letters on the 6th?
Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Good luck on your TEAS, too!
- 0Nov 15, '12 by CortneyCONGRATULATIONS! Getting in anywhere on your first try is a big deal!! I'm happy for you!
I hope your friend gets in this time too! I'm hoping for everyone that they havent sent out all the acceptance letters yet. I dont have any friends who applied this time, so its hard to know. Most of my nursing friends all gave up on ARC a couple years ago and moved out of state for nursing school or went into another field. I know how heart-breaking it is to wait and wait... and then get another "not accepted" letter. I dont wish it on anyone.
Good luck at Samuel Merritt hun! And... again, a HUGE congratulations!!
- 0Nov 15, '12 by MarykdarlingYes, definitely keep applying. You will get in somewhere, but the waiting game and application process in general is awful!
- 0Nov 16, '12 by LyricallunaWaiting sucks especially when the end result is rejection. Its better to inceease your odds by applying to lots of different schools instead of the ones in our area.

Comments about 5 Pair Ski Rack:
These Mohn Ski Racks are great to store skis, but the "regular" version ski rack will NOT fit any skis with even slightly turned up tails (or kick tails as they're often called). The "Twin Tip" version is MUCH BETTER for today's skis, as all modern skis except race and some carving skis skis seem to have slightly upswept tails - which will NOT fit in this rack. Several skis we tried that are not considered twin tips would not fit in this rack (Nordica Hot Rod, Dynastar Legend, K2 Apache, etc.)

The common threads between his diverse research projects are that they are: interdisciplinary; collaborative; involve the prototyping and application of leading-edge technologies; and use emprical methods to address theoretical questions. He builds electronic devices using off-the-shelf sensors and components (such as Arduino microcontrollers); develops software to control and analyse these systems; designs and conducts experiments; and then writes papers that consider the theoretical implications of these empirical studies for a range of disciplines, including HCI, the cognitive sciences, philosophy and art.
William Gaver
Bill was a co-investigator on the CHANGE project. Bill's research concerns the design of interactive technologies for everyday life. As computation has moved beyond the workplace, we need to look beyond traditional concerns with problem-solving, efficiency, utility and usability to consider the wider range of values and motivations it might embody. As head of the Interaction Research Studio at Goldsmiths, Gaver pursues practice-based research on new roles for interactive technology. Recent work has focused on the home, exploring electronic furniture and fittings that provoke curiosity and allow exploration of new views within and outside the domestic setting.
Dan Chalmers
Dan was a co-investigator on the CHANGE project. He is a senior lecturer in the Software Systems group of the School of Informatics at the University of Sussex. His research is focused on the way knowledge of context (including resource limits, location, and other physical and social aspects of context) can be used to modify behaviour, affect data display and configuration of systems. In particular, context representation which includes a notion of uncertainty; and general issues in middleware to support pervasive computing. Before working at the University of Sussex he worked for Imperial College London (1998-2004) and Ericsson Ltd (1993-1997) (amongst other jobs).
Tom Rodden
Tom was a co-investigator on the CHANGE project. He is Professor of Interactive Systems at the Mixed Reality Laboratory (MRL) at the University of Nottingham and deputy Director of the recently supported EPSRC Horizon Digital Economy Hub.

Her research interests include DIY technology, grassroots practices, and open-ended design methods. As a designer and researcher she is concerned with ways of encouraging users to become self aware and connected with their environment. She also works as a curator and has formed Tweak, an interactive digital art festival that focuses on the growing impact of digital technologies in the creation of art and aesthetic experience.
Vaiva Kalnikaite
Vaiva was a visiting research fellow on the CHANGE project. She studies how people use various digital technologies to interact, collaborate and manage their information and uses this understanding to design devices that better fit into the fabric of everyday life. She is particularly interested in the design of digital devices that help people manage their quotidian memories (aka lifelogging) and more recently has been researching how ambient technologies can infuse behavioural change in the wild. Vaiva is currently working on designing, building and evaluating augmented devices to support 'fast and frugal' decision making while shopping. She has also worked at MSRC, PARC, King's College London, and GE.
Stefan Kreitmayer
Stefan is a full-time PhD student at the Centre for Research in Computing at the Open University. He has been active in the Pervasive Interaction Lab with research on interactive tabletops and ambient displays to support decision making. His PhD research focuses on designing games that help users understand fundamental aspects of computer programming and motivates and prepares them for formal programming lessons.
