Hotel Check-In's been playing up Christmas in New York, so I thought you might enjoy seeing Hawaii's idea of holiday decorations.
Last week, the Sheraton Waikiki hotel brought in 20 tons of sand for a team of expert sand sculpture artists to work their magic.
Thomas Koet and his partner Jill Harris created three, seven-foot-tall sand sculptures on the theme of Santa arriving to relax - presumably after Christmas Day. Crowds formed as couple created the sculptures, which took about three days each to complete.
One sculpture shows Santa and Mrs. Claus preparing for their trip (under the hotel's front entrance porte cochere); another shows Santa and Mrs. Claus receiving a lei as they arrive in Waikiki (in front of the koi pond), and a third shows the couple sunbathing the water by the hotel (in front of main lobby elevators).
"We have a chance to incorporate the local culture into our art here in Hawaii," said Koet, the 2010 world champion of sand sculpting. "We don't get to do that anywhere else in the world."
The sculptures will be up until the first week in January.
Readers: Have you seen more interesting examples (good or bad, in your opinion) of holiday spirit in hotels this year? If so, please tell us about them.

Release Date for Football Manager 2014
Update: Football Manager 2014 is now available to pre-order, so click the link above and you can pre-order it today!
Football Manager 2014 will no doubt be released a very similar time to most other Football Manager games. Football Manager 2013 saw a very different kind of release though. Last year we saw the release of a Beta game on the 18th October, which was something a lot of people criticized. Clearly the game had its fault, but it was a Beta. Would we not all prefer to have it two weeks earlier even if it is a Beta? The full game was released on 2nd November so no doubt we will see something very similar this year no doubt, however will we see the Beta version released for FM14? After last years criticism maybe not, but us hardcore players of the game loved it!
So the release of Football Manager 2014 is something we all can't wait for, and we will update this when we have an official release date for Football Manager 2014, yet no doubt it will be around October, November time as usual.
Also we are more than likely to see a Demo version again, which was for those who hadn't pre purchased the game, where as Beta was.
Whilst you are waiting why not scroll down and join our email list and actually be the first to know when it is released and be one of the first people to pre-order Football Manager 2014!

Which Way?
Directional Graphics for the 2010 Olympic Games
Without signage, we would be lost. Wayfinding graphics are an indispensable tool for guiding people to where they need to go. They are especially helpful for events that draw massive crowds, such as sporting venues that host a multitude of spectators from around the world.
For the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics clear and effective wide format signage directs crowds of every nationality to sporting events around the city. The international event takes place February 12 to 28, 2010. Tasked with the creation of this signage is SignBoom Industries Ltd., of Langley, British Columbia (BC), Canada, the primary supplier of large format wayfinding signs for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Training Day
Today the company offers services including rigid signs; fabrics; finishing displays�retractable banner stands, flying flag banner stands, and sandwich boards; and vehicle, floor, and window graphics. Building on previous investments in groundbreaking digital print technology, SignBoom purchased two EFI wide format printers, a VUTEk QS3200 and VUTEk GS3200. To complement their printing devices, they also added a MultiCam, Inc. CNC router to its finishing department.
Trial Run
In Spring 2009 VANOC began its search for qualified print service providers (PSPs) to supply graphics that would be in place for over two weeks for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The process included several print facility visits where equipment and workflow capabilities were evaluated. SignBoom won the contract based on VANOC�s eco-friendly requirements.
�The committee had a vision, to make the Vancouver games the �greenest� games held to date and ratchet the quality of the printed materials to a level superior to anything done in the past. Sign graphics were to be colorful, with elaborate design detail,� explains Leonard Moore, president, SignBoom.
The shop is committed to eliminating solvent-based inks. SignBoom uses environmentally friendly UV and/or water-based inks from EFI, Fujifilm Sericol U.S.A., Inc., and Sawgrass Technologies, Inc.
During the trial sessions with VANOC, SignBoom demonstrated the many environmental benefits and cost savings of using the EFI VUTEk GS3200 printer and running Coroplast through the machine, as opposed to printing on adhesive vinyl and laminating the vinyl to a rigid backing material. �We are able to achieve high-quality output with the VUTEk GS32000 using a cost-effective white plus eight-color UV ink process. In addition, 100 percent of the post-usage waste generated was recyclable at no cost to VANOC. If adhesive vinyl was used, all of the waste would go into a landfill,� shares Moore.
SignBoom also emphasized the advantages of recycling inks and the use of the facility�s air recycling system, which filters air several times a day and then recycles it back into the shop.
Printing directly onto the Coroplast meant lower costs for VANOC, which spurred them to consider SignBoom and its green print philosophy, and ultimately hire them to create the wayfinding signage for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Suiting Up for the Games
Moore credits the addition of this Web-based system to furthering SignBoom�s reach into greater North America. �We were founded to meet the needs of the greater Vancouver market, but now the company is a major supplier for special events�like the 2010 Vancouver Olympics,� he says.
Once VANOC uploaded the designs, graphics were proofed and produced on a same-day schedule. In addition to Coroplast, SignBoom created wayfinding signage on vinyl decals and banners using media from 3M Graphics Market Center. This signage was also printed on the VUTEk GS3200.
Beginning in mid-November the signs were placed throughout the Metropolitan Vancouver area and Whistler, BC, Canada. Sign removal is planned after the completion of the Paralympic games on March 21, 2010. The total timeline, from planning to final installation, was seven months.
Utilizing the VUTEk GS3200 and Coroplast material, SignBoom was able to meet two of VANOC�s primary goals�eco-friendly prints and superior print quality.
Another need of VANOC�s was that all of the graphics for the games be able to withstand the temperamental environment they would be placed in.
SignBoom considered durability when deciding on Coroplast for the wayfinding signage. �The products are currently exposed to a variety of climatic conditions from the heavy rains of Vancouver to the sub-zero winds of snowy Whistler. Between the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the signs will remain in place for four months, making the choice of the right substrate critical,� explains Moore.
Gold Medal Finish
Many considerations were taken into account. Based on VANOC�s requirements, an eco-friendly workflow process�from the hardware and inks, to the material used�was key. Also, durability was important. The signage had to stand up to the cruel beatings of the wintry North, for a prolonged period of time. Not only must installation yield signage that stays in place, but the graphics themselves cannot fade or wash off from weathering.
SignBoom created an abundance of weather-resistant signage to guide visitors to the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics, without it, people would certainly be lost.

Nari Ward, Amazing Grace
Lower East Side
Sat Apr 6 2013

Time Out says
Posted: Thu Jan 17 2013
As part of its survey of '90s art titled, "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star," the New Museum presents this ambitious 1993 installation by artist Nari Ward in its adjacent space, Studio 231. Originally mounted in an abandoned firehouse in Harlem, Amazing Grace resembles a kind of post-apocalyptic landscape of discarded baby strollers and fire hoses, all culled from the surrounding neighborhood by the artist. Beyond suggesting that buildings in minority neighborhoods were more prone to fires due the neglect of landlords, the work evokes the social cost of that indifference. It's characteristic of Ward's ongoing examination of race and its relationship to the urban environment.

SMTP and Courier auth with full mail address
Hi All!
I have a problem that i would like to do a webserver with ISPConfig 2 in a multidomain environment. Everything works fine now, but i'm stucked at mail configuration's authentication. Now the POP3 and IMAP authentication works, but i can only auth with the short username, without the @mydomain.com ending. The problem is, that if i have two users who wants to use
and the other is
it will not work. So i have to set the authentication to require the whole mail address as username. Is this possible without any MySQL/Courier/Postfix hack? How can i set it?
My second problem is, that my Postfix SMTP not requires authentication for sending, however i set it up according to online manuals. Here is my main.cf:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

Integrated what? It is, in fact, a reference to a conference presentation I did in 2011 called "Integrated Fundraising."

Property Name:
Hidden Valley Farm
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
2916, Green Road, Fallston, Harford County
Hidden Valley Farm consists of a mid-19th century vernacular Greek Revival brick farmhouse with several auxiliary structures. The house is rectangular in shape, three stories high with a gable roof, with a five-bay symmetrical façade. It has a gable-roofed two-story wing extending from the rear elevation. Square-columned one-story porches lie across the façade and both sides of the wing. Elements of Gothic, Italianate, and Chinese designs are found in the decorative detailing. Italianate brackets with pendants decorate the cornice on the house and porches, Gothic lancet windows pierce the gable ends of the main block, and Chinese trellis-work is found in the arrangement of the glazing bars in the third floor windows and the transom over a sidelighted main entranceway. The principal windows have double-hung sashes with 6/6 lights, narrow frames, and plain corner blocks terminating plain heavy lintels. On the interior the principal rooms are arranged one on each side of a central hall in the main block with a kitchen in the wing. The interior decorative detailing consists primarily of wide architrave molding, a turned balustrade with a polygonal newel, and marble and wooden mantels. The house has a high degree of integrity. The property is enhanced historically with a mid-19th century barn, summer kitchen, and smokehouse, and later wood shed and garage. The auxiliary buildings are of varying degrees of integrity.
Hidden Valley Farm is significant for its architecture. The house is highly unusual among 19th century vernacular dwellings in rural Maryland in the way elements derived from the picturesque fashion which was current at the time of its construction are incorporated into an otherwise conservative, traditional design. The house displays the symmetrical façade and center-hall, L-shaped plan which typify rural vernacular dwellings in Maryland in the 19th century. Its primarily stylistic influence is the Greek Revival, evident in the entrance with transom and sidelights, lintels with plain corner blocks, attic story, and interior detailing. The essentially traditional and conservative composition is transformed by the addition of picturesque elements, including Gothic-arched gable windows, Chinese trellis tracery in the transom and attic windows, and a wide cornice with jigsawn brackets having turned trop finials. The house retains a high degree of integrity.

How do you decide which is the best vehicle for you and your family? First, establish the price range you can afford (including sales tax and other charges) and stay within it. Second, determine your needs and choose the car, truck, or van within your price range that will best serve those needs.
It it's to be a family car it must be able to carry everybody comfortably. For camping and hauling a lot of gear a station wagon might be best. Do you live in hilly country? Will you pull a trailer? You'll need plenty of power. Are you a salesman clocking 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) a month on the freeways? You'll value dependability. Are you in the market for a weekend sports runabout, an easy-on-the gas commuter, or a first car for your teenager?

Freedom returning to the storied city of TimbuktuBy RUKMINI CALLIMACHI
THE Associated Press | February 02,2013TIMBUKTU, Mali On the morning French commandos parachuted onto the sand just north of this storied city and ended 10 months of Islamic rule, Hawi Traore folded up her veil. On the next day, she wore heels. On the day after, she put on her sparkly earrings, got her hair braided and tried her mothers perfume.
Finally on Thursday, the 12-year-old girl dared to dance in the streets, celebrating freedom from the draconian rules that were imposed by the al-Qaida-linked militants on this desert capital for much of the past year.
Four days since French special forces liberated Timbuktu, there is a growing sense of freedom particularly among women. The speed with which women have claimed back their freedom underscores one of the advantages the French hold against an elusive enemy on unforgiving terrain: The population here has long practiced a moderate Islam rather than the extremism of the militants.
Although Timbuktu has long been a code word for the ends of the earth, until recently its women led a relatively modern existence, where they were not required to be covered and could socialize with men. That changed abruptly last year, when radical Islamists seized control of the northern half of Mali in the chaos after a coup in the distant capital.
When they first arrived, Hawi, a tall, fast-talking, sassy preteen girl, was just learning how to put on makeup. She learned the hard way to wear the toungou, the word for veil in the Songhai language. Her slender arm still bears the scar left by the whip of the Islamic police, her punishment for not properly covering up.
Her once-free life became increasingly restricted, as did that of her sisters and friends.
The Islamists showed no mercy, beating everyone from pregnant women to grandmothers to 9-year-old girls who werent fully covered. Even talking to a brother on the front stoop of a womans own home could get her in trouble.
Smoking, drinking and music were banned. So was playing soccer. The worst punishment was reserved for love outside the rules, and an unmarried couple who had two children out of wedlock was stoned to death in one northern Malian town.
Fatouma Traore lives on Street No. 415 in Timbuktu, the road that runs directly in front of the building where the Islamic Tribunal operated in what was once a luxury, boutique hotel. A leaflet left in the dirt in the courtyard set out eight rules for how women should wear the veil.
Rule No. 1 is that the fabric should cover the entire body. Rule No. 2 is that it cant be transparent. Rule No. 3 is that it needs to be colorless. And finally, Rule No. 8 states that a woman should not perfume herself after putting it on.
We even bought a veil for this baby, said the 21-year-old Traore, picking up her 1-year-old niece and hoisting her on one hip. Even if you are wearing the veil and it happens to slip off and you are trying to put it back on, they hit you.
The French military launched an intervention to oust the Islamists from power in northern Mali on Jan. 11, and rapidly forced their retreat from the major cities in less than three weeks.
The French arrived here before midnight on Monday in a platoon of 600 soldiers, accompanied by 200 Malian troops. They included paratroopers flown in from a base in Corsica, who landed in the north under the cover of darkness, as well as a convoy of 150 armored vehicles which simultaneously reached the towns western perimeter, according to a French military spokeswoman.
The Islamists were nowhere to be found. They had vanished into the desert, leaving behind a terrorized population and obstacles for the French.
A plane was parked sideways in the middle of the runway at the airport to prevent other aircrafts from landing. Satellite photos showed the runway was also covered with evenly spaced mounds of dirt, said Frances Defense Ministry on Thursday. Fearing hidden mines, the French called in specialists with heavy equipment to clear the three-kilometer (1.8-mile)-long landing strip after the damage by the Islamists.
They destroyed parts of the runway. They removed sections of the asphalt. They destroyed the control tower. We had to control it to make sure that it was not mined, said Capt. Frederic, in charge of communication in Mali for Frances 3rd Mechanized Brigade, who could only be identified by his first name in keeping with French military protocol.
Once the airport was secure, the troops rolled into this city of earthen, dun-colored homes in a massive convoy.
They drew crowds so thick that at times, the armored personnel carriers came to a standstill. People waved homemade French flags sewn together from bolts of red, white and blue fabric. Hawi and her mother stood on the side of the road, screaming, Vive la France!
The ecstatic women greeting the French were still covered in the all-enveloping veils imposed on them by the former Taliban-inspired occupiers. But hours after watching the French arrival, Hawi went home, folded up her veil and stuffed it away in her closet.
That same day, she pulled out the traditional pagne worn by women in much of sub-Saharan Africa. The Islamists considered it indecent because it was colorful and revealed the shoulders, arms and upper back.
By Tuesday, she dared to wear a pair of heels also haram, or forbidden by the Islamic regime.
By Wednesday, she had found a newly opened womens hair salon, where she had her hair braided for the first time in months. She opened her jewelry box and put on two bright cube-shaped earrings. Her mother pulled out her eyeliner.
It was on Thursday that they rummaged through their closet and found the envelope where they had hidden their Samsung phones memory card.
The Islamists had banned music of all kinds, including radios. When they realized young people were still listening to music using earphones, they began policing phones. During the final stages of the occupation, even ringtones became haram. People could not figure out how to change their cellphone settings, so for months many simply placed their phones on silent or on vibrate.
On Thursday, Hawi and her mother took out the memory card with the songs of a musician, a native of a village just 45 kilometers from the city. They went into the street, held up the tiny Samsung phone like a boombox and danced as they pumped it into the air.
Like her daughter, Hawis mother, Fatouma Arby, also has a scar on her right wrist where the Islamic police lashed her after they found her standing outside her house. The Islamists had gradually expanded the public space where women were restricted from the town center, to the alleys blanketed in sand running like veins across Timbuktu, all the way to the threshold of their own homes.
They had even created a prison just for women the likes of Arby, a feisty, 40-something mother and tomboy who exulted Thursday in her release.
Its been a very long time since I put on makeup, she said, running her finger under her eye to show off the line of black kohl accenting it. Ive put it on to make myself beautiful. So that men see me, and find me beautiful.
A man she knows, a distant cousin, called out her name. She ran over to him and teasingly pulled his arm, as he pulled her back.
It was a tug-of-war between two people who for nearly a year could not so much as touch.
