Coffee Bean International adopts direct trade program
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Coffee Bean International announced Wednesday the launch of a direct trade program, "Project Direct," working directly with farmers with a goal of paying higher prices for better quality coffee and directly improving coffee growers' farms, communities, and quality of life.
The Portland-based specialty coffee roaster and wholesaler said direct trade, single origin is not a new concept in the coffee world, where micro-roasters have pioneered the practice. Already, two major national retailers — Target and The Fresh Market — have added Project Direct coffee to their private brand offerings, but Coffee Bean International plans to expand the program.
"The Project Direct program is a commitment by our company to improve the quality of life for farmers and to pursue the mutually beneficial goal of adding transparency and improving coffee quality," said Patrick Criteser, president and CEO of Coffee Bean International, in a statement. "This program elevates our company's long-standing partnerships with farmers to a higher level of commitment, and assures our clients have access to the highest quality, sustainably sourced coffees available in the market."
The first Project Direct coffee for Coffee Bean is from the San Ignacio region of Peru. Working with more than 20 independent coffee farmers — 90 percent of whom are growing organically — Coffee Bean International is setting coffee growing standards that will lead to the continued improvement of the coffee crop, while farmers receive between 40 cents and $1 per pound more than established fair trade prices. Coffee Bean International is working to establish direct trade relationships with growers in Nicaragua and Tanzania this year.

A lightning strike that badly damaged a Brooklyn church Thursday night is also being blamed for taking the life of a longtime state employee.
The New York City Fire Department says they believe the lightning hit the steeple of Christ Church in Cobble Hill.
They say debris from the strike caused scaffolding that was surrounding the building to collapse on top of Richard Schwartz, 61.
He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Schwartz, who lived in a nearby brownstone, served more than 25 years as an antitrust lawyer in the state Attorney General's economic justice division.
Residents say the scaffolding has been up since the area was hit by powerful storms last year.
"This building is made of large stones, caused these stones to dislodge," said FDNY Deputy Chief Vinny Mandala. "Some of them fell through the roof of the lower portion of the church and some of them fell through and knocked the scaffolding down."
"I saw that the scaffolding was coming down," said Nicola Wheir, who called 911. "I realized there was a man walking under the scaffolding at that moment. I wasn't sure what hit him but the next thing I saw, he hit the ground."
One neighbor who spoke with NY1 took the news of the accident hard.
"I was sick, you know. It should have been fixed years ago," said the resident.
"This is a heavily populated area, and people come and go, and you hope that you'll get home without getting wet or hit by something, obviously," said another resident.
In a statement, State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said, "For over 25 years, Richard served the people of New York State with integrity as an expert antitrust lawyer in the Office of the Attorney General's economic justice division. New York is a better place because of Richard's commitment to fairness and legal excellence."
Meantime, the storm took power away from more than 1,300 customers in the city.
The storms did some major damage upstate, prompting Governor Andrew Cuomo to declare a state of emergency in hard-hit Chemung County.
Powerful winds ripped roofs off buildings and tore down power lines.
The National Weather Service will try to determine whether any tornadoes touched down.
Utilities reported that nearly 100,000 customers statewide were without power after the storm passed.

Here some rare pictures of SAF AMX-10P Marines variant, the first 2 are AMX-10ICV25 and the last 2 is AMX-10PAC90.
Pictures IIRC is taken by Laotiko and posted in MN forum.If I am wrong , pls give me a shout so I can correct it.
There are lots of info and pixs of Bionix, Bronco ATTC , Combat Engineer Tractor, Terrex AV-81 8x8 IFV, Primus SPH and many more in SG Armor Galllery.
Great pictures Hawk! How much FH2000s does Singapore have?
Is Indonesia the only country which also uses the FH2000?
How much do they have?
The number of FH2000 in SAF is at least 18 , some said 54, and about 52~54 FH88 (39cal version).
As for TNI, I read from report that they have bought about 4~6 FH88, the 39cal version.
Turkey is atm licensed producing the FH2000 by Mkek, which they called it as Panter, numbered to be at least 400 units.
Likewise, Turkey Firtina SPH which is based on Korean K9 SPH will be using the SP variant of FH2000 gun, which will numbered at least 300 units.
Anyway the above are what have been reported by other foreign reports, it could be more becos SG never report any arms sales.

Hospital locks out disgruntled nurses
NEW LONDON — Connecticut's Lawrence and Memorial Hospital has locked out hundreds of nurses and health care workers after they ended a four-day strike and tried to return to work.
Hospital spokesman Michael O'Farrell said the New London hospital did not allow the employees to return to work Saturday because contract issues remain unresolved and employees could disrupt patient care if they decide to go on strike again.

Virtual reality game HydraDeck puts you behind cover
HydraDeck seems like an appropriately tech demo-y name for a game that uses both an Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset and the Razer Hydra motion controller to put you behind cover. The gameplay premise may not be as novel as it was even a few years ago, but leave it to VR to make shooting at aliens from behind cover fresh again.
Teddy0k, the creator of this project, has been putting out updates on the Oculus Developer Forums. In this video demonstration, we're looking at version 0.2 of HydraDeck, so if this picks up steam there could be more on the way. I hope he keeps iterating even if I can't play it myself.
As impressive as the game is, I'm immediately compelled to think about where this hardware combination could go beyond cover-based shooting. Imagine a first-person sword-fighting game or, better yet, some fresh hell from the creators of Amnesia. Those were just the first two that popped into my head; countless other ideas could greatly benefit from this enhanced level of immersion. We just need enough people who want these experiences for them to get made.

A crowd of about 100 protesters has blocked the entrance to the U.N. military headquarters in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, spraying anti-U.N. slogans on vehicles and carrying banners saying "Down with the occupation!" while news comes that U.N. peacekeeping forces will remain in the beleaguered country for an additional year.
Protesters loudly criticized the U.N. peacekeeping operation, as well as the administration of Haitian President Rene Preval, for failure to protect ordinary people.
Additionally, critics have been egged on by an Associated Press investigation that determined that none of the $1.2 billion in reconstruction funding promised by the U.S. has arrived. —JCL
Al-Jazeera English:
Demonstrators have blocked the entrance to the UN military headquarters in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, spraying anti-UN slogans on vehicles trying to enter.
A crowd of roughly 100 protesters carrying banners saying "Down with the occupation" were forced back by UN soldiers, Sebastian Walker, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Port-au-Prince, said on Friday.
"Security personnel traded blows with demonstrators, and troops started firing in the air, with helicopters hovering above."

A police officer chases a student during a protest last week in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Demonstrators clashed with U.N. peacekeepers and Haitian police during protests to demand improvements to a quake-damaged school building.

how do i flush my sealed radiator system on my 2005 Dodge Stratus se 2.7 litre motor
i have a 2005 Dodge Stratus the car is not overheating but after a trip the water in the
resavoir is boiling i changed the thermostat and still doing it. I need to flush the system
but i am not sure how to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
6 Answers
Try a new radiator cap (About $5). It might not be holding pressure.
the cap is brand new,it is not losing water it is like i go to town run errands about 35 minutes. The temp gauge is at about half way mark but when i park the water is like boiling like if you were boiling it on the stove, some one told me it was my water pump but i want to flush the radiator first but im not real sure how to burp it and drain it.
See the attached pictures. Open the bleeder with the engine running, while filling the radiator, to purge trapped air in the system. The drain for the radiator is indicated in the picture below.
thanks for the info you have been very helpful
I have the exact same problem,did this solution work for you.I am not mechanically inclined and need to know what to tell mechanic.Some help please

This week's penultimate episode of The Vampire Diaries season was fast-paced, filled with vampy adrenaline, and ended with more than a few shocking moments. So let me attempt to catch my breath and get on with recapping!
"That's what happens when you try to paint your dead guardian's room in the middle of the night." - Jeremy
While Elena and Jeremy are trying to revamp (swear no pun intended) Alaric's old room, crazy Alaric is actually alive and kicking in his high school classroom. He waits for Caroline to come by for her post-dance cleanup and as soon as she's distracted, Alaric swoops in and takes her hostage. She gets away for a second, but "hardcore Alaric" runs out into the sunlight getting all kinds of burns, and drags her back inside.
"What's the witchy workaround?"- Damon
There's always a way to undo a spell, Bonnie explains to Stefan and Damon, but unfortunately she has no idea how to make Alaric no longer immortal. She calls her mom Abby who's hesitant to help, saying that in order to make the plan work Bonnie would have to tap into some dark places. (Hasn't this girl already done dark anyway?) NBD for Bonnie. After making her momma feel guilty, she finds out that she can link everyone together through blood, and then once they pierce an artery or vein in Alaric, she'll stop a human's heart in order to stop Alaric's. Make sense? Didn't think so.
"How many times do I have to tell you, stop trusting vampires!" — Alaric
After Alaric calls Elena with his ransom proposal, she runs over to the high school to save her best friend. As Alaric is torturing poor Caroline, he tells Elena that she should join him in his plight to kill vampires. He brings up her family's mission and adds, "Do you actually think they'd be proud of you? If you don't side with the humans you're just as bad as them." But Elena doesn't let him get to her, but instead fakes him out with a stake and pulls a fast one throwing vervain in his face. He winces and the girls run.
"I need a few road trip necessities: Spare tire, flashlight, doppelganger." - Klaus
Klaus is setting on getting the hell out of Dodge, but not until he has his doppelganger. Stefan and Damon won't let him in her house so he does everything he can (like kicking a soccer ball and throwing fences) to make them oblige. But he's stopped in his tracks when Stefan explains that Elena is gone and Alaric has her with intentions to kill. So the new plan is for them all to go and save her which, of course, they do. (With a lovely albeit fleeting Klaroline moment.) But when Elena sees that Alaric won't kill her, she realizes it's because Esther had bound them through blood and her death would kill him as well. Thus, she's safe, for now.
"I think we know who really came between them: You. That's why you won't choose." - Klaus
Elena wakes up and she's at Klaus' house, tied down to a chair. Tyler is there as well and while Elena asks him to help her, Klaus wants "sire boy" to grab their bags so they can go — after they kill Elena. Klaus says he no longer needs Elena; he has his family and wants to do away with her in order to kill Alaric. Oh and he wants her to know that she totally screwed with the Salvatore brothers' heads. In a switcheroo, Damon and Stefan are once again determined to kill Klaus to save Elena. They show up to his house and with the help of Tyler, are able to puncture his skin so that Bonnie can complete the spell originally intended for Alaric. It works, and suddenly Klaus has lost all power. (We so saw that one coming!)
"If I choose one of you, I lose the other." - Elena
Back on the Gilbert porch, where all awkward moments take place, Elena thanks the boys for saving her and apologizes for stringing them along. "It's selfish but I don't know what to do," she says. The brothers tell her they're going to do away with Klaus' body and leave her to ponder her love triangle thoughts with her friends who are throwing a victory party.
"She'll probably dump both our asses." - Damon
Stefan and Damon drive away and discuss the impending choice that's to come. They realize they make a good team, but know that life will be different PEC (Post Elena Choice). They ultimately decide that whoever she doesn't pick will leave town. "All this over one girl," Damon says. Yep, pretty much summarizes the series.
"I didn't call the meeting, Liz, he did." - Mayor Lockwood
Now that the sun is down, Alaric leaves the high school and calls an emergency Council meeting. But this time he's out to expose Sheriff Forbes and Mayor Lockwood by telling the rest of the group that they're harboring a vampire and hybrid.
"If he kills his human connection to end his life, that would mean I would lose you." - Jeremy
In the final scene, Elena and Jeremy have a nice brother-sister moment before Jeremy goes to bed. Elena starts painting but suddenly experiences pain in her head and falls to the ground unconscious.
Is Elena suddenly supernatural or just having a bad (misleading) migraine? Tell us your comments below!

Junkfood Cinema: A Little More ConversationFeatures By Brian Salisbury on June 24, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
This week, as Cargill roams the Himalayas in search of more discarded VHS copies of Skatetown USA, I am joined by FSR's own Culture Warrior and soon-to-be-PhD Landon Palmer for a discussion of the deep-fried film oeuvre of The King himself.
Almost-Dr. Palmer is definitely taking care of business as he breaks down how the shifts in Elvis Presley's onscreen performances mirror the shifts in rock-n-roll culture through the 50s and 60s. For my part, I go all fainting Bobby soxer over my love for King Creole and reveal how many times I've been to Graceland.
All this, plus the reveal of which Elvis movie was intended to feature a talking camel. A little less conversation, Mr. Presley? Oh no, I think we need a lot LOT more.
You should follow Brian (@Briguysalisbury), Landon (@landonspeak), and the show (@Junkfoodcinema).

The request of Gilbert high school student Kevyn Barton to walk at graduation seems rather easy to his family — the 18-year-old senior has completed his course work as expected by his teachers and he wants to join his friends and peers.
But Kevyn isn't actually graduating this spring. As Tribune writer Hayley Ringle reported last week, Kevyn is a special needs student with mental disabilities that will keep him in high school until he automatically graduates at age 22. And that situation creates more a difficult question for the Gilbert Unified School District.
Highland High School can easily accommodate one more student in its graduation ceremony, and Kevyn's inability to graduate after four years certainly is no fault of his own. But would allowing Kevyn to join the graduation ceremony now dilute the importance of this event and set a bad precedent?
As district officials weigh their natural compassion against the need to maintain standards, one thing should be clear — Kevyn will walk for graduation just once. It is this universal requirement for high school students that has made graduation such as a memorable rite of passage. Ask any college graduate who has earned several degrees over time, and you'll learn how multiple graduation ceremonies degrade their value and emotional impact.
Schools everywhere should adjust rules when the standards for typical students simply make no sense for those with special needs. For students such as Kevyn, one accommodation could be to let the student and family choose which graduation ceremony to participate in.
This choice wouldn't be as simple as it sounds. Some special needs students might not have the mental capacity to understand the special role of graduation and they would only know they can't join each year in an event that's so important to their classmates.
If Kevyn and his family accept that he wouldn't be back on the graduation stage sometime in the next four years, then the school district should be comfortable with letting him walk in a couple of months.

Why does The Economist continually call Rev Wright a priest? It's not a big deal, but why not call him pastor(former pastor), preacher or even minister? Priest in America is usually reserved for the Catholic faith. Just wondering.
There are good reasons why The Rev. Wright said what he did in the first speech. But most white Americans are (incredibly) unable to understand where he is coming from.Lexington makes a good point: Wright could have clarified his statements at the press club event instead of just repeating the same unsupported opinions.
I hope someone gives this article to Mr. Wright...
As a United Church of Christ clergywoman, I can not IMAGINE doing to one of my parishioners what Jeremiah Wright has done to Senator Obama. His was an intentional, malicious abusive betrayal of the Senator's aspirations. From a pastoral perspective, Wright's behavior is absolutely inexcusable.
He might cry foul, saying he is the victim of sound byte characterizations, but I don't believe it. He's not stupid. He knows exactly how the media game is played. He meant to offend Democrats by his mockery of two white champions of Civil Rights--John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, of all people, the man who made sure the Civil Rights Act got through Congress in 1964. Maybe he did it for reasons of ego, to cut the younger man down to size. Maybe he did it out of revenge, to get back at Obama for not allowing him a role in the campaign. But there can be no mistake he did it to do damage.
Compare the Wright, mugging for the camera, to Obama's reasoned, compassionate speech on race. We definitely need more of Obama and a whole lot less of the Jeremiah Wright types.
I wonder if what determines how big a deal this ultimately turns out to be will hinge on whether the press finds something more interesting to talk about. If anything, it has only reflected beautifully on Obama as a candidate. I have never been more impressed with him than when watching the quiet class, grace, and honesty with which he's handled his difficult flap. He has shown tremendous integrity and respect for all involved. It is a teachable moment for much of America, too, to get a taste of the different realities it is possible to live in. We are effectively an Apartheid country, in all but formal policy. We can be jackals about it, or we could take this as an opportunity to learn to listen to each other, and to follow Barack Obama's example of handling difficult issues with patience and dignity.
Even if Obama wins the Democratic primary, this will certainly dent his chances in November. White blue collar voters will likely remember the offensive rants of his one time pastor and campaign advisor.
This was one of the best Lexington pieces in a while.
Rev Wright may not be as damaging to the Obama candidacy as many assume. What matters most now is the votes of the superdelegates, all of whom are obviously very close followers of the political scene. Obama's measured response to Wright, both in Philadelphia and this week, have got to play well to those thoughtful superdelegates. The less-informed general public, who might vote against Obama based on his longstanding membership in nutball Wright's Chicago congregation, have mostly already had their primary votes registered.
Jeremiah has a vested interest in seeing Obama lose. If Obama wins the presidency it invalidates everything Wright preaches. And not only that a black man from his congregation will hold the highest office in the land and will be in charge of the military. How does he keep railing about the government then? Perhaps his latest ramblings are two fold; to sooth his ego and to sever ties with Obama so either way he can keep on with his tirades. And have no fear of being in any way accountable for the country as he rails against it
As long as the cause of 9/11 -- blowback in CIA parlance -- remains a taboo subject in America, Reverend Wright will stand out as one of the very few American leaders who have had the honesty to publicly face it.
There are many good reasons not to vote for Obama - he's typical of the paternal democrat, he's not experienced enough to be president, he has never shown as much independent thought as party-think... but the Wright debacle is the least fair and the most likely to change voters mind.What does Wrights non-nonsensical ramblings say about Obama? Little, if anything. We can only fairly criticize or praise him by the way he reacts to it. In the beginning, it was typical unconvincing political theater, now it seems more genuine. I doubt that Obama shares the ideas of his 'mentor'. That still doesn't make him a good choice for president, but it shouldn't weigh against him either...
Maybe Mr. Wrigth is right. After all, if Germans had to go to de-nazification and re-education after the second world war, white americans never had to move a brain muscle in order to reshape their bias against the black minority, And if in general people have their wiring pretty good, the overal culture was tilted for segregation. When a black man married with a non-black non-white woman (I am not going that far to say man, being out of context here) gets to be elected president of US, maybe then will have reasons to believe that the racial fault lines are diminished
One of the best summaries anywhere at the lost opportunity for Mr. Wright to right the wrongs that have upset the Obama momentum and raised a lot of doubts about his judgment. The American press will play this out for as long as there's a new utterance from Mr. Wright, extending Hillary's sickly and selfish campaign and increasing the coffers of various media outlets throughout the country.

Undercurrents has finally made the big time -- a mention in Mara Giulianti's "Gems from the Diamond" column in The Digest. Referring to our item about a Hollywood, Florida- based screenplay starring a corrupt mayor, Giulianti had this to say: John Lundin "wrote a "screenplay' and faxed it to all the major newspapers. The major newspapers ignored him. New Times did not." Yikes. She went on to question, "Why should my family be subjected to the embarrassment of knowing their friends and colleagues might read such trash?"
Mom would be so proud.

I think you must made my point for me ;-) Chris Rogers described it thus: "It's a *target* value which we start approaching at precisely the time given." which I read to mean that the time given is the _start_ of the curve, not the end of it.

PATNA: The tall claims of the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) about regular fogging in the 72 wards sounded hollow as there were only three fogging machines in the city to fight against the mosquito menace.
The PMC commissioner, Pankaj Kumar Pal, told TOI that he had asked the circle executive officers to buy new fogging machines. But the officers said they had no information about any such order.
The New Capital circle (NCC), Patna City circle and Bankipore circle have one fogging machine each which is insufficient to cater to the 72 wards. The Kankarbagh circle borrows machines from other circles.
"There is no fund crunch. I have already ordered the circle executive officers to buy new fogging machines as per their requirements," Pal claimed.
On the contrary, executive officer of the NCC, Shashank Shekhar Sinha said he had not received any such order. "There are 29 wards under the NCC and we have one fogging machine. We start fogging in a ward at 6pm every day. But it takes about a month to repeat it in the same ward. We are doing the second round of fogging in our area," he told TOI.
Girijashankar Prasad, executive officer of the Kankarbagh circle said, "There are only five wards under my circle. We have to borrow a fogging machine from other circles. We are unable to do fogging every day. I am unaware of any notification by the PMC commissioner to buy new fogging machines."
Narendra Nath, executive officer of Patna City circle said, "According to the norms, one ward should be fogged for at least three hours every day. But it takes a very long time to repeat the process in a ward. About 140 litres of diesel and 1.5kg of malathion are required to run the machine for three hours every day. It costs around Rs 4,500 per day."
Commenting on the PMC functioning, a resident of Kankarbagh, Rohit Kumar, said, "We are regular tax payers but the PMC concentrates only on the VIP areas where they do fogging every day. Many parts of the city are suffering from mosquito menace."

I love words, what they mean and the emotion they can portray. they say a picture is worth a thousand words but i think one word can last a lifetime. i write a lot but i mostly only share my poetry. i would love to even reach it to 10 fans but i doubt even that will happen. but id love it if it did. what inspires me to write is everything, ive had a rough past and a questionable future. I'm not the smartest girl alive bu t i may be the weirdest. i like putting my dreams and nightmares into words to be deciphered by other and let others think of what it may mean. i really want feedback so i can improve my writing and make my work more understandable. thanks to all who vote and or comment in the future!

Brian Young Football Camp a Success on Day 1
POSTED: Friday, July 9, 2010 - 1:40pm
UPDATED: Friday, July 9, 2010 - 5:25pm
Friday, July 9: The 3rd Annual Brian Young Football Camp was a success on day 1 of the 2-day camp at the Sun Bowl. Burges High School Junior Defensive End Armando Ochoa thought so. "Man, it's the best, NFL players coming from all over the country, and giving you so much advice, on what you can do and how you can improve, it's like a birthday, it's like Christmas." Some of the NFL players included for Dallas Cowboy Clayton Holmes, former Philadelphia Eagle Freddie Mitchell, and of course Young, an Andress and UTEP graduate who played defense for the St. Louis Rams and New Orleans Saints. Freddie Mitchell said, "It's been amazing because the children are here to listen, and they actually listen. There are guys out here that the Miners need to look at, because there are guys in their backyard that can actually play for them." Campers learned not only football techniques and drills to prepare them for the high school football season, but also life lessons like how to deal with college applications, leadership development, fitness and healthy eating habbits, and proper weight training techniques. "Yeah, it's been great, I think we had the most kids we have ever had here, just a great turnout, a lot of energy out here, a lot of one on one sessions, we had a good time with them and I think the kids had some fun." Brian Young said. "It's just the fact that we really want to emphasize education to these kids, not make the same mistakes we did, every person talked about how they didn't take education seriously, and how they regretted that, and hopefully we can prevent these kids from making those same mistakes."

Debian: Lenny: Perfect Server & No-IP
First of all, I'm a complete Linux Newb.
Please don't hold that against me...
I'm attempting to follow along with this tut:
I've also bought a domain through No-IP.com since I have a dynamic IP and I'm not wanting to pay for a static one.
I'm needing my own server for my small business website.
Along with that, I need an eMail server and FTP server.
The tut says that I type in my domain in during setup.
So I would enter the one I purchased?
I'm behind a router and my other machines are all Windows based.
Ultimately, I'm wanting to run this server headless and VNC into it via my main Windows Vista box.
I also noticed in the tut that typing server1.example.com (from the the tut, obviously) will get you to the server.
Does this mean that anyone with that URL can access my server or is that only accessible from my network?
I've also been reading in various places that I'll only be able to receive email from the outside world, not send it. Is this true?
How can I get around this?
Would I need some other service that No-IP provides?
Can someone help me out?
Please, do not assume I know much about Linux, because I don't.
This will be my second experience with Linux. The first was with Ubuntu last year and it was a disaster...:o
I dont know much about Linux myself, may be some one with the knowledge replies?
I can only tel you what we have at work.
We have setup most of our servers with Ubuntu (Feisty, Hardy, Debian sarge etc...).
The web server is a xen (virtual server) off of a feisty server.
the web interface uses zope and plone (besides the normal apache2 base).
Our mail server uses vpopmail (qmail)which is also on a xen guest machine off of a feisty server (ubuntu 7.04 which has been discontinues so we will upgrade soon but Not to version 8.10 because xen is not supported there. yet)!The qmail recommends it to be run on a xen or a virtual machine.
Our DNS is also a xen machine for security runs off of a feisty server.
The telephones though are on an OpenBSD server which is more secure I guess?
(I do not know if you have voice over IP setup?) But that is very sweet since I have worked with it before.
our DNS server points to our actual ISP and has their IP address in the resolv.conf file but the rest of our machines including the workstations only point to our local DNS. (Now I dont know how you will handle this since you are getting an IP from DHCP? May be call the dhclient and get the result put in there? Not so sure??)
So it is like the DNS machine also acts as a gateway between our local (LAN) to the WAN.
We do not have any FTP (from outside) but use OpenVPN for security. (it deals with security certificate etc.)
you can always ssh to your servers using either a linux machines or via PuTTY from Windows, it works really well. I setup a couple of FTP servers for myself and that is easy , you just install ftp as you would any other program (I dont remember the exact command) it is different for each flavor of linux any way.
This is a basic setup here, I know it may be a little too complicated since I think it is, (but I just got here a while ago I am not the one who set this up) I hope some one can give you more/better details.
good luck.
I assume I can just hard to guess subdomain instead?
Then, from within the ISPConfig thing, I'd setup the public domain?
Which one? No-IP Mail Services Link
I'm sorry for being so dense, this stuff is somewhat intimidating...
Hi, great tutorial btw!
I have a question along the same lines. Everything installed well, when i type in the local ip address for the server in my browser (192.168.1.4:8080) it works perfectly, when i type in the server name (http://server.agama.com:8080) it doesn't work. I have checked the interfaces and hosts scripts and they all point to 192.168.1.4, but when I ran dig `hostname` it came up with the server address as 192.168.1.1, which I am guessing is the issue? I also ran nslookup and got the same result of 192.168.1.1.
I wondered if it had something to do with the resolv.conf but even logged in as root (su -) I cannot view as permission denied.
Is there any way i can change the server name address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.4? if that is actually the problem.
Thank you!
I don't know,
As I said, I'm a Linux newb.
I'm just needing to know how to configure this thing to work with my router and the domain name I purchased.
I guess I'm needing to know what goes where during the network config part of the install process. Apparently, I'm doing something wrong...
My router has DHCP enabled, but I'm wanting to use an IP outside of that range so the server always gets the same IP.
I do this all the time in Windows by setting a static IP within the OS to outside the DHCP range. Heck, that's how the box I'm typing this message on is currently setup... <undecided.gif>
Hi, i am using mydns just like in the tutorial.
the /etc/hosts file is setout like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.4 server.agama.com server
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Im pretty sure that is right.
and interfaces is:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0

netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
when I type dig `hostname`
question section:

Authority section:
agama.com 10800 in SOA ns1.gold.net. dnsmaster.gld.net

server: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1)
when I type nslookup server.agama.com
server: 192.168.1.1
address: 192.168.1.1#53
**server can't find server.agama.com:NXDOMAIN
any thing that can point me in the right direction will be much appreciated
I edited the file "/etc/resolv.conf" which was showing nameserver 192.168.1.1 and renamed the ip to point to 192.1658.1.4.
Now when I type dig `hostname`, ns1.agama.com and webmaster.agama.com (what I set up in mydns) show up, as well as server: 192.168.1.4#53(192.168.1.4).
when I type nslookup server.agama.com I get:
server: 192.168.1.4
address: 192.168.1.4#53
**server can't find server.agama.com:NXDOMAIN
am I heading in the right direction?
netstat -tap
tcp 0 0 server.agama.com:domain *:* LISTEN 2756/mydns
tcp 0 0 localhost.locald:domain *:* LISTEN 2756/mydns
this seems wrong to me?
HI I have managed to get this:
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:934 *:* LISTEN 2878/famd
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
Hope that helps

Our friends at Engadget, tech-obsessed sister site of Autoblog, have taken an in-depth look at the reason why it's so difficult for Tesla to sell its cars directly to consumers, the same way that Apple, for instance, can sell you an iPad at an Apple Store. As you're probably aware, the whole sordid affair can be traced back to dealer franchise laws, which vary dramatically state to state, all with the stated goal of protecting your local neighborhood car dealers from unfair competition.
What sort of unfair competition, you ask? And from whom? Well, that's the heart of the matter, and it seemingly makes very little sense to the average consumer. Engadget puts it pretty bluntly:
It's not really about Tesla, or electric cars. It's about money. It's an argument against competition that may or may not even manifest in reality.
It's also a complicated issue, and one that doesn't have a simple solution. To wit, just as it seems unfair to keep Tesla from selling directly to consumers, it's also unfair, not to mention illegal, to shrug off and ignore rules and regulations that were concocted, debated and put into law as a protection to dealership owners, many of whom have been operating under said rules themselves for decades. Adding another wrinkle is the fact that nothing is preventing Tesla from using the established franchise-dealer model that every other automaker in the US also uses. Nothing, that is, other than Tesla itself.
Want to know more? We can't promise that you'll really understand all the behind-the-scenes minutia and political wrangling that's gotten us to where we are now, but you will, at the very least, have an understanding of the issues at play after reading the article here. And when you're done, feel free to come on back and let us know what you think in the Comments.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- A national animal protection group is asking Tennessee prosecutors to step up enforcement against hurting horses to force exaggerated gaits.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the Humane Society of the United States last week called on 11 Tennessee district attorneys to test swab samples collected at Tennessee walking horse shows during 2012 and prosecute if evidence of soring is found.
The newspaper said prosecutor Robert Carter, whose district includes Shelbyville where the National Celebration for the walking horse breed is held, did not return a call seeking comment.
Outgoing Walking Horse Trainers Association President Jamie Hankins said he had not seen the letter.
A federal case this year against trainer Jackie McConnell of Collierville brought him a three-year probationary sentence and a $75,000 fine.

Internet saves a domestic violence victim
- Comments (3)

I met Sameena two years back in Hyderabad. She was soft spoken, reserved girl with high regard for family values.
She dropped by to my city Coimbatore soon after we met.
She was pursuing her medical grad. Early last month, I received a call from a new number and it was none other than Sameena. I want to email you, something has happened here. Its serious, she said.
I was a little shocked and wondered what was wrong. She said she could not explain over the phone. Slowly, she opened up saying that she had an inter religious marriage with a Hindu boy and her own parents were beating her up day in and out. The horrific story of what she went through in two months is something that I want to leave away here.
She had to recover mentally and physically. Her laptop was taken away, cutting her access to internet. Her smartphone had an internet connection and she used that to mail the lawyer. Noticing this, the family refused to give her money or recharge her phone for using the internet. For me, digesting the fact took time. I was enraged about her submission to these horrific events. I decided to stand by her.
Thanks to the internet, I quickly recharged her phone internet from here. She then sent me the mails, her marriage certificate and her degree documents, just in case, they seize it from her. She got them all scanned after I told her to do so. The next thing was getting out of the house. And then where would she go and what would she do? Her newly wed hubby backed off and stopped communicating fearing for his parents. Her parents were beating her to their fancy. I searched online for women support groups in Hyderabad and found some numbers. It was impossible for her to venture out of the house as she was under constant scrutiny. She kept emailing me all updates through her phone internet discreetly. One night, she overheard that her parents were planning to take her away from the city and marry her off to another man. She could not bear it anymore. Elections were due in the state. Post that, all plans were made. She just had one day. I quickly found the women commission's cell in the state and spoke to a senior official there. Thank God, they have mobile phones listed on their site. She was travelling and wanted to meet Sameena in three days. I told this to her. The lady promised to help her.
Without much of thought, she left the house one morning on the pretext of getting a govt card. Her brother dropped her off there and gave her half an hour to finish the work. He was to pick her in half an hour. She fled from there to the commission office. The office did not have people that day and she decided to come here. I transferred money into her account, thanks to internet banking here! She changed three buses and reached the next day.
She felt better and I told her to mentally recoup. I looked at legalities and possibilities of what she could do and felt strongly about the women's commission. After two days, post speaking to lawyers and asking for advice, I bought her tickets and send her off to Hyderabad women's commission cell. That was the only legal option and solution. Running away is only temporary. The commission gives strong protection, the lawyer told me. I told her what all to do and she followed. The demure girl that she was, broke down and then emerged strong. She went to the commission office, wrote a written complaint and she was given shelter there. I was relieved.
The case is going on and Sameena is now a stronger individual, with faith, hope and belief. Through this helping process, I found out that people could actually file an online complaint in the women's commission site. So, for women who are suppressed in the house, just with an internet connection, complaint can be made and action will be taken.
The digital world has changed the way things function. The accessibility to people is easy, getting information is easy, giving money to someone is easy and finding solutions is easy. I also found out that Domestic Violence Act of 2005 is applicable only for violence from the husband's family. So, Sameena could not file a complaint against her parents, but she could do so in the court as a separate complaint. As I write this, Sameena has found a job in the NGO. She is now empowered and all set to make her life better. I remember how she spoke about noticing smaller things and joys in life when she was travelling from Hyderabad to Coimbatore. The greenery, the scenes and breathing fresh air, away from people and cacophony was real freedom.
Today, with increase to accessibility of internet, women do see a change. There are a host of applications for security purposes. The digital revolution is here to make things better, only if used for the right reasons.

My heart sank and soared!
Dear Sharada,
As I first read your story of Sameena, my heart sank and I was filled with sadness and anger. But as I read on, my heart soared, applauding your bravery, your willing to reach out to Sameena with not only the technological tools she needed but with your knowledge, friendship and vital psychological support. You are to be commended for pointing out how in so many steps, internet technology made it possible to help Sameena, but without you, the person behind each action, all the technology in the world would have failed her! So, a big thanks to you for being who you are. I hope you will continue to tell this story to help others see that the conveniences we often use (recharging our cell phones via the net, internet banking, etc.) are not just conveniences for ourselves but can go so far as to save the lives of others! I am glad that Sameena made it through this terrible ordeal and hope she will be able to pay it forward to help others who might find themselves in equally traumatic situations.
All the best,
The Power of One Connection
Dear Sharada,
I share completely the response beautifully stated by Susa. I am also so happy to have your news that Sameena continues to be safe and free. Many would have feared to become involved at the level that you did, and indeed, you are the reason that she found the strength and path out. Not only did you help her, you have shown us all important details to think about, and solutions to be ready to offer. These solutions can now be sent far and wide. It is also, in the global sense, so very important that each story of abuse that women are being or have been subjected to, is reported as completely as you have managed to do. Our collective voices are finally reaching a point that we cannot be ignored, and the more public each story, the better chance that it will reach the ears of women still trying to escape. You have offered a critically important blueprint, and demonstrated courage that can now inspire others. What a celebration to read of Sameena emerging from this, strong and now free. Thank you for writing this and making it possible for all of us to pay attention to what is going on in India. So many in the world are finally watching. My heart is with you.
With love in Sisterhood,

Try Some Different Greens in Your Salad
Tired of traditional salads made with the ubiquitous bags of mixed greens or romaine? Try these spiced-up salad recipes made with some more unusual, out-of-the-box leafy vegetables.
Now that you're familiar will all sorts of fabulous leafy greens, try dressing them in some creative new ways with these delicious homemade salad dressings.
Escarole, Red Onion, Mushroom, and Egg Salad
Escarole sounds exotic, but it's actually a simple green in the endive family (but without the bitterness of its leafy brethren). No escarole? Try spinach — it will work, although it won't offer quite the same sturdy texture.
