text:
WendzelNNTPd is a tiny but easy to use Usenet server (NNTP server) for Linux, *nix and BSD. The server is written in C. For security reasons, it is compiled with stack smashing protection by default, if your compiler supports that feature.
WendzelNNTPd uses the GPLv3 license.
WendzelNNTPd contains a database abstraction layer. Currently supported database systems are SQlite3 and MySQL. New databases can easily added.
WendzelNNTPd contains different security features, the probably most important feature are Access Control Lists (ACLs) as well as the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system. ACL and RBAC are described in a own chapter. WendzelNNTPd is probably the first Usenet server with support for RBAC.
Another feature are ``invisible newsgroups'': If access control is activate, a user without permission will neither be able to see the existence of a newsgroup, nor will he be able to post to or read the newsgroup, if he would know about its existence.
In case a user sends a posting to two equal newsgroups within one post command's ``Newsgroups:'' header tag, the server will add it only once to save memory on the server and the time of the readers.
WendzelNNTPd supports IPv6. The server can listen on multiple IP addresses as well as multiple ports.
WendzelNNTPd does not implement all NNTP commands, but the (most) important ones. Another problem is that the used regular expression library is not 100% compatible with the NNTP matching in commands like ``XGTITLE''. And a 3rd big problem is the fact, that WendzelNNTPd cannot share messages with other NNTP servers.
See ``CONTRIBUTE'' file in the tarball.
The project started in 2004 under the name Xyria:cdpNNTPd, as part of the Xyria project that also contained a fast DNS server, called Xyria:DNSd. In 2007, I renamed it to WendzelNNTPd and lost interest in the continuing development of Xyria:DNSd. Version 1.0.0 was released in 2007, version 2.0.0 in 2011. A detailed history can be found in the ``HISTORY'' file in the tarball.
This chapter provides a guide how to install WendzelNNTPd-OSE (Open Source Edition) 2.0.0.
To install WendzelNNTPd from source you need to download the provided archive file (e.g. wendzelnntpd-2.0.0.tar.gz) file. Extract it and run ./configure. After configure finished, run make.
$ tar -xzf wendzelnntpd-2.0.0.tgz $ cd wendzelnntpd-2.0.0 $ make ...
To install WendzelNNTPd on your system, you need superuser access. Run make install to install it to the default location /usr/local/*.
$ sudo make install
There is a init script in the directory scripts/startup. It uses the usual parameters like ``start'', ``stop'' and ``restart''.
A user reported WendzelNNTPd-2.0.0 is installable under Mac OS X 10.5.8. The only necessary change was to add the flag ``-arch x86_64'' to compile the code on a 64 bit system. However, I never tried to compile WendzelNNTPd on a Mac.
Not supported.
This chapter will explain how to configure WendzelNNTPd once it has been installed on your system.
Note: The configuration file of WendzelNNTPd is named wendzelnntpd.conf. The format of the configuration file should be self describing and the standard config file includes many comments which will help you to understand the lines you can see and modify there.
Note: On *nix-like operating systems the default installation path is /usr/local/* what means that the configuration file of WendzelNNTPd will be /usr/local/etc/wendzelnntpd.conf, and the binaries will be placed in /usr/local/sbin.
The first, and most important step, is to choose a database engine. You can either use SQlite3 (what is a solution easy to realize but that is not very performant) or MySQL (what is of course the better solution, but also a little bit more complicated to realize). By default, WendzelNNTPd is configured for SQlite3 and is ready to run. If you want to keep this setting, you do not have to read this section.
In your configuration file, you will find a line called database-engine. Here you can either write sqlite or mysql.
database-engine mysql
If you use MySQL, you also need to specify the user and password which WendzelNNTPd should use to connect to the server. If your server does not run on the localhost or uses not the default MySQL port, you have to modify these values too.
; Your database hostname (not needed for sqlite3) database-server 127.0.0.1 ; the database connection port (not needed for sqlite3) ; Comment out to use the default port of your database engine database-port 3306 ; Server authentication (not needed for sqlite3) database-username mysqluser database-password supercoolpass
Once you have chosen your database, you need to create the (database and) table in your database.
In the case of SQlite, make install already did this for you.
For MySQL, a SQL script file is included called mysql_db_struct.sql. It creates the WendzelNNTPd database as well as all needed tables. Use the MySQL console tool to execute the script.
$ cd /path/to/your/extracted/wendzelnntpd-archive/ $ mysql -u YOUR-USER -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 48 Server version: 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1 (Ubuntu) Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql> source mysql\_db\_struct.sql ... mysql> quit Bye
Now you should specify the IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) for WendzelNNTPd to accept connections on, as well as the TCP port (the NNTP default port is 119) to run on.
; You have to specify the port _before_ using the 'listen' command! port 119 ; network addresses to listen on listen 127.0.0.1 listen ::1 listen 192.168.0.1
You could also use different ports for different IP addresses by placing a port command right before each listen command but this is not recommended.
If you have any problems running WendzelNNTPd or if you simply want more information about what is happening, you can uncomment the verbose-mode line.
; Uncomment 'verbose-mode' if you want to find errors or if you ; have problems with the logging subsystem. All log strings are ; written to stderr too, if verbose-mode is set. Additionaly all ; commands sent by clients are written to stderr too (but not to ; logfile) verbose-mode
WendzelNNTPd contains an extensive access control subsystem. If you want to allow only authenticated users the access to the server, you should uncomment use-authentication. This gives every authenticated user access to each newsgroup.
; Activate authentication use-authentication
If you need a really advanced authentication system, you can activate Access Control Lists (ACL) by uncommenting use-acl. This activates the support for Role based ACL too.
; If you activated authentication, you can also activate access ; control lists (ACL) use-acl
By default, WendzelNNTPd makes a users hostname or IP part of new message-IDs when a user sents a posting using the NNTP POST command. If you do not want that, you can force WendzelNNTPd not to do that by uncommenting enable-anonym-mids, what enables anonymized Message-IDs.
; This prevents that IPs or Hostnames will become part of the ; message ID generated by WendzelNNTPd what is the default case. ; Uncomment it to enable this feature. enable-anonym-mids
Once your WendzelNNTPd installation has been configured, you can run the server (in the default case you need superuser access to do that since this is required to bind WendzelNNTPd to the default NNTP port 119) either by starting start_daemon.bat on Windows or by starting /usr/local/sbin/wendzelnntpd on *nix-like operating systems.
$ /usr/local/sbin/wendzelnntpd WendzelNNTPd-OSE (Open Source Edition): peak: 3, size_sockinfo: 1 WendzelNNTPd-OSE (Open Source Edition): version 1.9.0-pre-alpha 'Stockholm' - (Mar 5 2010 21:36:19 #2326) is ready.
Note (Daemon Mode): If you want to run WendzelNNTPd as a background daemon process on *nix-like operating systems, you should use the parameter -d.
Note (Admininstration Tool): Use the command line tool wendzelnntpadm to configure user, role and newsgroup settings of your WendzelNNTPd installation. To get an overview of supported commands, run ``wendzelnntpadm help'':
$ wendzelnntpadm help usage: wendzelnntpd <command> [parameters] *** Newsgroup Administration: <listgroups> <addgroup | modgroup> <newsgroup> <posting-allowed-flag (y/n)> <delgroup> <newsgroup> *** User Administration: <listusers> <adduser> <username> [<password>] <deluser> <username> *** ACL (Access Control List) Administration: <listacl> <addacluser | delacluser> <username> <newsgroup> <addaclrole | delaclrole> <role> <rolegroupconnect | rolegroupunconnect> <role> <newsgroup> <roleuserconnect | roleuserunconnect> <role> <username>
You can either list, create or delete newsgroups using wendzelnntpadm.
$ wendzelnntpadm listgroups Newsgroup, Low-, High-Value, Posting-Flag ----------------------------------------- alt.test 10 1 y mgmt.talk 1 1 y secret.project-x 20 1 y done.
To create a new newsgroup run the following command:
$ wendzelnntpadm addgroup my.cool.group y Newsgroup my.cool.group does not exist. Creating new group. done.
You can also change the ``posting allowed'' flag of a newsgroup but this takes currently no effect since WendzelNNTPd handles all newsgroups as newsgroups with posting allowed.
$ wendzelnntpadm modgroup my.cool.group y Newsgroup my.cool.group exists: okay. done. $ wendzelnntpadm modgroup my.cool.group n Newsgroup my.cool.group exists: okay. done.
$ wendzelnntpadm delgroup my.cool.group Newsgroup my.cool.group exists: okay. Clearing association class ... done Clearing ACL associations of newsgroup my.cool.group... done Clearing ACL role associations of newsgroup my.cool.group... done Deleting newsgroup my.cool.group itself ... done Cleanup: Deleting postings that do not belong to an existing newsgroup ... done done.
The easiest way to give only some people access to your server is to create user accounts (please make sure you activated authentication in your configuration file). You can add, delete and list all users.
This command always prints you the password of a user too.
$ wendzelnntpadm listusers Username, Password ------------------ developer1, wegerhgrhtrthjtzj developer2, erghnrehhnht manager1, wegergergrhth manager2, thnthnrothnht swendzel, lalalegergreg swendzel2, 94j5z5jh5th swendzel3, lalalalala swendzel4, wegwegwegwegweg done.
You can either enter the password as additional parameter (usefull for scripts that create users automatically) ...
$ wendzelnntpadm adduser UserName HisPassWord User UserName does currently not exist: okay. done.
... or you can type it using the prompt (here the input is shadowed on non-Windows systems):
$ wendzelnntpadm adduser UserName2 Enter new password for this user (max. 100 chars): User UserName2 does currently not exist: okay. done.
Please Note: A password must include at least 8 characters and may not include more than 100 characters.
$ wendzelnntpadm deluser UserName2 User UserName2 exists: okay. Clearing ACL associations of user UserName2... done Clearing ACL role associations of user UserName2... done Deleting user UserName2 from database ... done done.
Welcome to the advanced part of WendzelNNTPd. WendzelNNTPd includes a powerful role based access control system. You can either only use normal access control lists where you can configure which user will have access to which newsgroup. Or you can use the advanced role system: You can add users to roles (e.g. the user ``boss99'' to the role ``management'') and give a role access to a group (e.g. role ``management'' shall have access to ``discuss.management'').
Note: Please not that you must activate the ACL feature in your configuration file to use it.
Note: To see *ALL* data related to the ACL subsystem of your WendzelNNTPd installation, simply use ``wendzelnntpadm listacl''.
WendzelNNTPd includes a feature called ``Invisible Newsgroups'' which means that a user without access to a newsgroup will neither see the newsgroup in the list of newsgroups, nor will he be able to post to such a newsgroup or will be able to read it.
We should start with the simple access control where you can define which user should have access to which newsgroup.
$ wendzelnntpadm addacluser swendzel alt.test User swendzel exists: okay. Newsgroup alt.test exists: okay. done. $ wendzelnntpadm listacl List of roles in database: Roles ----- Connections between users and roles: Role, User ---------- Username, Has access to group ----------------------------- swendzel, alt.test Role, Has access to group ------------------------- done.
$ wendzelnntpadm delacluser swendzel alt.test User swendzel exists: okay. Newsgroup alt.test exists: okay. done.
If you have many users, some of them should have access to the same newsgroup (e.g. the developers of a new system should have access to the development newsgroup of the system). With roles you do not have to give every user explicit access to such a group. Instead you add the users to a role and give the role access to the group. (One advantage is that you can easily give the complete role access to another group with only one command instead of adding each of its users to the list of people who have access to the new group!).
In the following examples, we give the users ``developer1'', ``developer2'', and ``developer3'' access to the development role of ``project-x'' and connect their role to the newsgroups ``project-x.discussion'' and ``project-x.support''. To do so, we create the three users and the two newsgroups first:
$ wendzelnntpadm adduser developer1 Enter new password for this user (max. 100 chars): User developer1 does currently not exist: okay. done. $ wendzelnntpadm adduser developer2 Enter new password for this user (max. 100 chars): User developer2 does currently not exist: okay. done. $ wendzelnntpadm adduser developer3 Enter new password for this user (max. 100 chars): User developer3 does currently not exist: okay. done. $ wendzelnntpadm addgroup project-x.discussion y Newsgroup project-x.discussion does not exist. Creating new group. done. $ wendzelnntpadm addgroup project-x.support y Newsgroup project-x.support does not exist. Creating new group. done.
Before you can add users to a role and before you can connect a role to a newsgroup, you have to create a role (you have to choose an ASCII name for it). In this example, the group is called ``project-x''.
$ wendzelnntpadm addaclrole project-x Role project-x does not exists: okay. done.
You can delete a role by using ``delaclrole'' instead of ``addaclrole'' like in the example above.
To add (connect) or remove (disconnect) a user to/from a role, you need to use the admin tool too.
The second parameter (``project-x'') is the role name and the third parameter (``developer1'') is the username. Here we add our 3 developer users from the example above to the group project-x:
$ wendzelnntpadm roleuserconnect project-x developer1 Role project-x exists: okay. User developer1 exists: okay. Connecting role project-x with user developer1 ... done done. $ wendzelnntpadm roleuserconnect project-x developer2 Role project-x exists: okay. User developer2 exists: okay. Connecting role project-x with user developer2 ... done done. $ wendzelnntpadm roleuserconnect project-x developer3 Role project-x exists: okay. User developer3 exists: okay. Connecting role project-x with user developer3 ... done done.
$ wendzelnntpadm roleuserconnect project-x developer1 Role project-x exists: okay. User developer1 exists: okay. Connecting role project-x with user developer1 ... done done.
Even if a role is connected with a set of users, it is still useless until you connect the role with a newsgroup.
To connect a role with a newsgroup, we have to use the command line tool for a last time (the 2nd parameter is the role, and the 3rd parameter is the name of the newsgroup). Here we connect our ``project-x'' role to the two newsgroups ``project-x.discussion'' and ``project-x.support'':
$ wendzelnntpadm rolegroupconnect project-x project-x.discussion Role project-x exists: okay. Newsgroup project-x.discussion exists: okay. Connecting role project-x with newsgroup project-x.discussion ... done done. $ wendzelnntpadm rolegroupconnect project-x project-x.support Role project-x exists: okay. Newsgroup project-x.support exists: okay. Connecting role project-x with newsgroup project-x.support ... done done.
This is done like in the example above but you have to use the command ``rolegroupunconnect'' instead of ``rolegroupconnect''.
Like mentioned before, you can use the command ``listacl'' to list your whole ACL configuration (except the list of users that will be listed by the command ``listusers'').
$ wendzelnntpadm listacl List of roles in database: Roles ----- project-x Connections between users and roles: Role, User ---------- project-x, developer1 project-x, developer2 project-x, developer3 Username, Has access to group ----------------------------- swendzel, alt.test Role, Has access to group ------------------------- project-x, project-x.discussion project-x, project-x.support done.
As mentioned above, you as the maintainer of the usenet server can safe time by using roles. If you add a new developer to the system, and the developer should have access to the two groups ``project-x.discussion'' and ``project-x.support'', you don't have to assign the user to both (or even more) groups. Instead, you just add the user to the role ``project-x'' that is already connected to both groups.
If you want to give all developers access too the group ``project-x.news'', you also do not have to connect every developer with the project. Instead, you just connect the rule with the newsgroup, what is one command instead of commands!
Of course, this time saving concept also works, if you want to delete a user.
Besides the already mentioned authentification, ACL and RBAC features, the security of the server can be improved by putting WendzelNNTPd in a chroot environment or letting it run under an unpriviledged user account (the user then needs write access to /var/spool/news/wendzelnntpd and read access to (/usr/local)/etc/wendzelnntpd.conf). An unpriviledged user under Unix-like systems is also not able to create a listen socket on the default NNTP port (119) since all ports up to 1023 are reserved. This means that the server should use a port >= 1024 if it is started by a non-root user. Note: Some Unix systems may have another priviledged port configuration.

The Mistakes of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee – Chapter One: Calling the Hetch Hetchy Valley Restoration Concept "Insane"
Friday, October 26th, 2012Here it is, in the national media, in the Washington Post's blog site, for tout le monde to see:
"San Francisco's Spectacular Hypocrisy"
That bit from Amy Crawford has this nice quote about Proposition F (2012) from error-prone San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee:
"As insane as this is, it is, in fact, insane," sputtered the usually mild-mannered Mayor Ed Lee when the initiative was announced.
Now, was it a mistake for San Francisco's so-called Consensus Mayor to label Prop F (and, indirectly, the supporters of Prop F) as insane?
Yes. It's not what he meant to say, it's not what he actually thinks.
Now it certainly would be inconvenient for San Francisco to lose control of Hetch Hetchy, no argument there.
But IRL, it's not "insane" to think that maybe, just maybe, it'd be a good idea to restore Hetchy Hetchy at some far off point in the future.
The Valley, the "counterpoint" to Yosemite, before San Francisco improperly grabbed it:
And I can see those waterfalls
And I can see those waterfalls
Click to become as "insane" as the half of San Francisco voters what are going to say "Yes" to Prop F (2012) come November.
Interim San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee's Corrupt "City Family" Lines Up Against Prop F – Restoring Hetch Hetchy is a Bad Idea?
Friday, October 19th, 2012Is the idea of restoring Hetch Hetchy (you know, at some point) "insane?" No, not at all.
But it sure would be inconvenient, I'll grant you that.
Anyway, here's the latest:
"City Contractors & City Bureaucracy Team-Up Against Prop F – Pay-to-play politics used to oppose the Yosemite Restoration Campaign
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18, 2012 — San Francisco city contractors and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) have ganged up to defeat Proposition F, the Water Conservation & Yosemite Restoration Initiative, the most recently released campaign finance reports disclosed. According to the reports(1), 47% of funding for the 'No on F' campaign has come from companies currently doing business with San Francisco; companies with past contracts with the City, and labor unions representing contracted workers with the City. In addition, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has spent an undisclosed amount of money entertaining San Francisco community leaders at the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, as well as more than $197,000 in federal funds promoting the "Hetch Hetchy Brand" to San Francisco voters.
"These public records demonstrate that San Francisco City Hall and its employees have arm-twisted city contractors to extract hundreds of thousands of dollars to oppose reform. It's typical 'pay-to-play' politics to defend the status quo and fight water conservation," said Mike Marshall, Campaign Director for the Yosemite Restoration Campaign. "It's made that much worse by the improper use of rate-payer and federal funds by the staff of the SFPUC in the run-up to, and during, the campaign."
Proposition F is the "Water Conservation & Yosemite Restoration Initiative." It requires the City to develop a two-part plan to build San Francisco's local water resources and reverse the damage done to the environment by the current water system over the last 100 years. The plan would need to be approved by voters in 2016 in order to be implemented.
ABOUT THE YOSEMITE RESTORATION CAMPAIGN: The mission of the Yosemite Restoration Campaign is to reform San Francisco's 19th century water system to allow for the restoration of Hetch HetchyValley and the Tuolumne River in Yosemite National Park. It is a non-profit, 501(c)(4) organization. www.YosemiteRestoration.org
'No on F' Campaign Finance Fact Sheet
According to campaign finance reports filed on Friday, October 5 the 'No on F' campaign received:
– $131,122 from companies currently doing business with the City and County of San Francisco.
– $69,729 from companies with past contracts with the City and County of San Francisco.
— $43,500 from labor unions representing individuals working on projects for the City and County of San Francisco.
According to public record requests the SFPUC staff has spent:
– $197,000 in federal EPA funds promoting the Hetch Hetchy water brand. The funds were intended to encourage San Francisco residents to call 311 to report water quality problems. (2)
— An undisclosed amount of money organizing eight junkets to Yosemite National Park for local Democratic Club leaders, 'No on F'" funders, neighborhood association leaders and gay rights activists. Despite multiple Sunshine Ordinance requests, SFPUC staff have ignored requests asking for a detailed financial accounting of staff time spent organizing these political junkets.
– An undisclosed amount of staff costs collaborating with 'No on F' attorneys to lobby the Ballot Simplification Committee.

Next month, Sam's Club pharmacy locations plan to provide free diabetes and vision screenings for members and the public.
Retail News Breaks Archives
BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Next month, Sam's Club pharmacy locations plan to provide free diabetes and vision screenings for members and the public.
The Walmart warehouse club chain said Thursday that the diabetes checkups will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Valued at more than $150, the diabetes screening involves a glucose tests, an A1C test (a blood test for diagnosed diabetics that measures blood sugar), blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) tests, and a vision test.
The retailer noted that according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the surge of people with diabetes — about 1.9 million new cases diagnosed each year — has also made the disease the leading cause of new cases of blindness in U.S. adults.
"Knowing the links between risk factors, choices and solutions prepares our members to better manage — or even prevent — diabetes," Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president of health and wellness at Sam's Club, said in a statement. "As we offer the diabetes screenings for a second year, I am reminded of member stories where they came in for a screening or product samples and learned about a possible health problem, which led them to make an appointment with a health care provider. It is stories like this that remind us why we offer these invaluable free screenings to our communities."
Sam's Club added that it has dedicated the current issue of its Healthy Living Made Simple magazine to diabetes lifestyle management and prevention tips for September and to women's health tips for October. The chain's next monthly health screening, on Oct. 13, will focus on women's health.
In addition, Sam's Club has extended its health offerings this fall to include immunizations administered by registered nurses. Vaccines available include flu, pneumonia, shingles, chickenpox, whooping cough and six other vaccinations. The immunization program is a collaboration between Sam's Club and Mollen Immunization Clinics.

quote:WTF are you talking about? Did you read the article and all of the posts? It's heritable and related to epigentics...do you know what any of that is? Is it ironically described in the Bible? Idiot.
quote:Based on your comprehension skills I bet you read that article and it convinced you that being gay is a choice.
quote:I read the article before it was even posted here. Then, I read the comments as well. A lot of bickering going back and forth between those saying that it is basically genetic and those saying it is not. The one certain thing is that Science cannot find an absolute genetic link to homosexuality.
quote:It bothers me not at all that you think I'm an idiot because I think that religion actually explains things about the human condition. Your perspective is only as large as your bias anyway, so why would it bother me?
quote:You're free to believe whatever you'd like. That doesn't negate the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about with regard to this specific issue.
quote:This is why infant baptism is important, so that it can get rid of that original sin which may manifest itself in the epigenetic result of homosexuality.
quote:Clearly you lack the ability to understand what you read and have applied your own fallacious, biblically inspired reading....as you are a true religious fantasist, I don't doubt that any facts presented to you will never change your mind.
quote:I am simply positing that Religion might have something to say about the human condition, about sexuality, about morality, and immorality.
quote:OleWar So it turns out being gay is not in the DNA This is why infant baptism is important, so that it can get rid of that original sin which may manifest itself in the epigenetic result of homosexuality.
quote:It can SAY whatever it wants. Unless it can be tested in some way, I'm not sure it matters. Or than your speculation...how do you test for original sin being a potential cause for homosexuality? Is this only Christianity that has something to say on the human condition, or are all faiths equally valid when talking about such issues?
quote:Specifically, I am talking about Science NOT being able to find a genetic link to Homosexuality
quote:Turn that around and it applies to you as well. But, you aren't even a Scientific "fantasist" because the facts of Science - or the lack thereof - do not seem to influence your thinking at all. You have already made up your mind whether you have hard evidence for it or not.
quote:I am simply positing that Religion might have something to say about the human condition, about sexuality, about morality, and immorality. That is not really a radical view at all, but in your anti-religion bias, it seems very radical to you.
quote:I am waiting for you to present FACTS that state that homosexuality is genetically passed down and is irrevocable. Please show me where you have conclusively proven that.
quote:Remember 3 minutes ago when we discussed how you didn't know what you were talking about?
quote:If the truth is somewhere in between, which this article seems to state,
quote:Of course, every religion has something to say about the human condition - even Science - obviously.
quote:did you just suggest with this line that science is a religion?
quote:Such a silly argument...science is the process of looking for truth...in science statements aren't self-proving...I don't expect science to "know" everything, I expect it to look for, make mistakes, correct itself over time through experimentation and observation. Science does not equate to religion no matter how much people like you try.
quote:I'm gonna' stop here to ask...did you just suggest with this line that science is a religion?
quote:Of course.

@SalmonRiver- I sell locally, as well as online. I don't have a textile dyeing machine, but I can tell you some of what I use for my textile fabric dyeing.
My gas cooking stove is my heat source. I recommend stainless steel or enamel pans for holding the dyes. Some pan materials can cause colors to change. You will definitely want a good thermometer. I use one for dyes and for wax when I am batiking.
I use plastic containers for storing dyes when I have leftovers. It's also good to have a variety of containers in different sizes for dipping or rinsing fabric.
Don't forget protective gear! I always have a supply of gloves and a couple aprons. I also use masks like you can get at a medical supply store to cut down on some of the fumes.

General Petraeus has said he will testify before Senate and House commitees in closed door sessions on Friday.
What happens should he tell the commitees that he was blackmailed by the administration into presenting his "party line blame it on the video" report on the Benghazi attack?
Senator McCain (liberal Republican) and Dianne Feinstien ( Liberal Democrat) are pushing this in the Senate.
Will the Democrats decide to throw the Chicago crowd under the bus in order to keep credibility- or are we in for another Watergate?
as with watergate, the problem isn't as much the "Problem" as the attempt to cover up. Would the democrats in congress honestly have the balls to cover for a president who, at least tacitly, patreaus says blackmailed him over knowledge of his affair, in order to get Patraeus tgo shut up about Benghazi?
Look for Petraeus to die in a plane crash before Friday- with a 9mm hole in the back of his hea

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pedro Alvarez can't explain why he's so streaky. When the Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman is hot, however, he has the ability to carry a team.
It's what he did during a pair of shutout wins over St. Louis on Tuesday and Wednesday, hitting three homers and driving in seven runs as the Pirates pulled within one game of the Cardinals for the NL's second wild card spot.
Alvarez has already slugged a career-high 26 home runs with a month to go in the season and is hitting .280 in the second half of the year heading into a three-game series in Milwaukee on Friday.
The 25-year-old Alvarez says he's in a comfortable place at the plate. He's helped take some of the pressure off All-Star centerfielder Andrew McCutchen in the process.

SmackBOTS is a fast-paced game easy enough to pick up and start playing with just enough details to make it something you may want to learn how to play better. Just like my son, I just want to start hitting things. This is also a good thing.
The game introduces you to a couple of robots gone wild in a secret base. It's your job to defeat the evil robot. To do this you punch it. You punch by tapping on the right side and left side of the screen. Simple.
Though gameplay is simple I found it to be surprisingly difficult after the second level. I guess this is where the combo moves would come in. These moves are pretty tough to figure out, and I'm a bit handicapped in this area as I've never been patient enough to learn secret moves. Those that like learning those things will have a blast.
Going into 'berserk' mode allows you to assault your enemy, unleashing a maelstrom of fury. As you progress through the levels you have options of changing your robot's appearance through selecting different styles and colors. The simple story line which accompanies the story is simple and amusing to follow between the mindless poundings you deliver to your enemies.
I love games that don't have buttons. The developer takes advantage of the touch screen and uses this wisely. This makes it a great game for a child because they only have to know how to tap. Even my three-year-old can play this.
Being that this is an entertaining game for kids, this is a plus for parents that need that coveted quiet time now and again. They're not going to come to you asking you how to play. Though they may ask you to help beat a level.
I don't have major complaints about the game. I did find it a bit too challenging for a simple punch game once you get past the second level. It's robots punching… how hard can this be? I eventually discovered a strategy that helped me; lots of right punches. I'm not really sure why this took me so long to figure out.
Being as there are combo secrets to be discovered, it would be great to have the ability to move my robot away from my opponent. I think this would allow the player more room to develop strategy and have some space for learning those combos.
All in all, this is a good game. It's simplicity and mild sense of amusement make it a great game for those occasional waits we all experience throughout the day. At .99 you're not going to lose any sleep over buyer's remorse. At an undisclosed date in the future it will go up to $1.99, so I'd definitely grab it before the price goes up.

Being of an age when the memory is not quite what it was, that mystical 'first bottle' is pure conjecture. I assume the setting was sometime in the '70's – the decade I thought we had power cuts to give the coal men time off at Christmas. The time, so I am told, of prawn cocktails and Black Forest Gateau and the heights of vinos sophistication being bottles of Blue Nun, Liebfraumilch and, holy of holies, Mateaus Rosé.
And there was me, several years later, drinking the damn stuff overlooking Macau harbour and thinking how cool I was! It wasn't cool. It was naff, even then. It was also damn expensive for a destitute traveller. But actually the evening was made by that bottle of wine – the colour of the sunset mirroring the rose-tinted liquid in the glass, the light shimmering across the South China Sea as a sea breeze threw off the tropical heat of the day.
Another memory surfaces, again from some time in the 70's, of my late Grand Mother sticking sea shells to an empty bulbous-shaped wine bottle with a candle stuck in the top. That distinctive shape can only have been a Mateus. Luckily I can recall little else, 1970's or Mateus related, but that is probably the fault of personal excesses during the following decade!
No attractive photo to accompany these misty-eyed recollections, sadly, nor a tasting note. The famed Portuguese rosé no longer graces the shelves of the purveyors of alcohol in my small town. I expect, back in its day, whole rafts of the stuff were glugged by the local Wallingfordtonians or whatever they are called. All long since moved on to Australian Chardonnay I imagine. You can always pick up a nice shell-covered, dumpy candle stick at the weekly car-boot sale though.
Ah, Mateus rose was a standby in 1970s and 1980s Australia too! Along with wines in baskets at Italian restaurants, wines sold in FLAGONS at the local bottle shop, and cask wine (a wine box)…
I actually had an idea that Mateus was undergoing some kind of renaissance … I'll have to keep an eye out for it!
Great blog! And it is a bit sad i think 'cause the first part of your blog coincide so well with my memories of my first wines; Blue Nun, Liebfraumilch and, holy of holies, Mateaus Rosé. I still shivver of horror when i think about those days, gathering in a garage with hard bread and these wines, before entering the dance floors…My dad brought out Mateaus this summer. The weather was really hot, the glass came with ice! and Mateaus and i loved it! …Thanks again for a great site!
It was interesting for me to read your blog posting seeing as I am not only new to the world of wine, but fairly new to the world. I'm only 22 years old and it drops my jaw to hear such fond memories from a time before I was born.
What's especially funny is that even with the gap, the fondness of the first wine memory are just as fond as they are hazy. Your memory is much better than my own, for I cannot even remember the name of the bottle. I was 13 and I remember my father finishing up a great meal with my mom (they shared the cooking duties). "do you want to taste it?" he poured me 3 oz of my first wine ever, a cabernet sauvignon.
It was overwhelming! Haha, i hated it–my first experience with alcohol, I said who would ever drink anything other than soda. But, over time I kept my mind open, and now at the age of 22 isn't it funny? I don't even drink soda anymore and wine has taken its place with dinner time.
Thanks for putting me in a nostalgic mood with your posting. I'm looking forward to more in the future.

Please note: this information was current as of February 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
Price: $269 Contact: www.thermalcookware.com The Thermos Shuttle Chef consists of a steel cooking pot that fits inside an insulated outer pot. You partially cook the food in the inner pot on a stovetop or camp fire, then place the inner pot into the outer pot and put the lid on. The outer pot has vacuum-insulated double walls so the food keeps cooking slowly in its own retained heat. Because food only needs to be partially cooked before being transferred into the insulated container, the Shuttle Chef uses less energy than it would take to cook the same dish completely on the stove or in an electric slow cooker. You can leave the food to cook while you do other things, or even take the Shuttle Chef with you on a picnic to enjoy hot food al fresco. We tested the Shuttle Chef by cooking a liquid dish (pumpkin soup) and a solid dish (boiled rice) as per its supplied recipes. The cooker did an excellent job with the soup; it cooked in one hour and stayed safely hot (above 60°C, so no dangerous bacteria will grow) for over eight hours. The rice didn't cook quite as impressively, as it was still slightly crunchy after the recommended cooking time of one minute on the stove followed by 30 minutes in the outer pot. This would be improved by cooking it a little longer before transferring to the outer pot. Once transferred, the rice stayed safely hot for four hours. The Shuttle Chef is compact and easy to clean. The tested model has a 4.5L inner pot, but other models with different sized pots are available. You'll need to use a glove or cloth when moving the inner pot after cooking, as the metal handle can get hot. But at $269 (more with accessories), it's considerably more expensive than most electric slow cookers.

An invitation to play should… Capture a child's curiosityBe intentional in design and purposeBe appropriate for the age of children you teachInclude materials that the children can freely touch, manipulate, and explore.

After working like an animal in my classroom this past week (in between all of those meetings/trainings of course) my room is complete. I've carried over the apple theme that I started last year. That made things a lot easier- although it didn't stop me from buying an insane amount of new things! Here are the pictures I took today at school. Modern DIY supplies coming to Target. Todd Oldham has teamed up with Target to produce a collection of art supplies inspired by his 2009 book, Kid Made Modern.
The kits and supplies are geared toward children, but I'm eyeing this duct tape! Todd suggests making wallets and messenger bags with it. Check out the Charley Harper paint-by-number sets, too—you can make your own painting on wood for some nifty DIY wall art. Toddler Approved!

Several months ago someone put the idea into my head that I should make some quiet books.
This is one project that I've never really had the desire to do, but that little seed kept growing until one day I found myself drawing up the templates and then at JoAnn's buying the supplies. My Creative Family. Bunny Hand Puppets. As I was making these sweet bunny hand puppets I realized that my attachment to them had grown beyond my usual care and attention and had blossomed into full blown love! They just seem to have such personalities! I found myself getting a little carried away, actually naming each one and fabricating little story lines about them. Felt Aquarium Magnets. When I was in the third grade my class took a field trip to Point Reyes, California to look at the tide pools. I was fascinated by them, each pool was like a small secret world.
There were orange and purple sea stars, tiny little fish, and flower-like sea anemones. When I stuck my finger in an anemone's mouth it's sticky petal-like tentacles would close around it, thinking it was food (this probably isn't a nice thing to do to an anemone, but it certainly made an impression on me).

Cubicle Chronicles – The One Liner Douche Bag
Mr. KFC,
Thanks for helping us cube monkeys get out of our cage and fling some poo on your website. It's proven to be cathartic and hilarious therapy for me. Here's an example of the fellow cube monkeys who fire off the same, tired one liners over and over, day after day.
Situation 1. When I'm dressed somewhat similar to a co-worker. Annoying co-worker: "Did you two call each other this morning before you drove to work?"
Voice in my head: "Hey you smelly cunt, we're not Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger and much like that movie, you and your tired joke haven't been funny in 25 years. There are only so many colors in this world that Banana Republic and Kenneth Cole provide so there's a decent chance I will be wearing the same color as a male co-worker at least twice a week. By the way, you're not obeying our dress code with your ratty ass flats and frayed tank top that exposes your canned hams for arms. I bet your pussy stinks, too."
Situation 2. The Calendar Quoter. Annoying co-worker: "Is it Friday yet? It's humpday, halfway there! Happy Friday!"
Voices in my head: "Look on the dark side of things, it will be Monday in a few days, we'll still be stuck at this same job in a few years, and god willing, you'll be dead in about 150 weeks. I don't know why you're counting down for the weekend where the only difference between your shithole apartment and your cubicle is that you get paid near minimum wage to sit around here all day and you have a computer made before Steve Jobs got cancer in front of you."
Situation 3. The person who is always looking to quit. "I swear I'm going to leave here if they get on my ass one more time. I have already updated my resume and have an interview for a manager position next week."
Voices in my head: "Listen, I'm down 19 in my fantasy league with only Willis McGahee playing tonight so my day is far worse than yours, asshole. I hope you get a new job with the Navy SEALs torturing terrorists because I'm ready to waterboard my-fucking-self if I have to endure five more minutes in your presence. You need this job more than it needs you because you have to pay alimony for two nappy kids and you drive a rusty Honda Accord. Sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up, and shuffle some more documents before I suicide bomb this place."
Situation 4. Bag burglar. "I can't believe it, someone stole my lunch! I'm reporting this to HR and someone will be fired!" Voices in my head: "There's a shithole Subway down the street and you could skip a lunch or 50, Jabba the Cunt. Also, I know who ate your sodium bomb in the Lean Cuisine wrapper. It was Herman in processing and as bad as you think your life sucks right now at least you aren't forced to steal lunches at work like that miserable prick. He'll be fired in a month anyway and you just avoided 500 calories. Win-win in my book.
I have a couple more examples but I need to get back to work before my boss comes over and asks me; "You working hard or hardly working?"
Fuck me.
- Jerome
Another fucking masterpiece from Cubicle Monkey Stoolies. Jerome's rant is obviously a bit longer so I'm not gonna say much here except this:
In regards to wearing the same clothes – When you and a coworker both have a blue button down dress shirt on and someone says "I guess I didn't get the memo," it should be written in the Constitution that you are allowed to murder him in cold blood. It is the single biggest douchebag phrase in the world, right up there with people who say "I guess my invitation got lost in the mail!" Usually these phrases are uttered by the same asshole, because nobody wants to invite the fucking asshole who thinks its funny to comment on the fact that more than one coworker has a blue shirt. And they laugh out loud at their own "joke" and look around at other people sitting near you like "Amiright? Amiright?" Yea, LOL you stupid motherfucker. Its taking every ounce of my self restraint to not take out my CO2 Keyboard Dustblower Can and shoot it directly into my mouth in the hopes that I will poison myself to death. Out of every single miserable moment of Cube Life, the "Didn't Get The Memo" moment is without a doubt the single worst. It's enough to make you weigh the pros and cons of unemployment and homelessness just to make sure you never find yourself in that situation ever again.

Craig Groeschel | |
Born | Houston, Texas | December 2, 1967
Occupation | Author Speaker Minister |
Nationality | American |
Subjects | Leadership Christian Growth |
Craig Groeschel (born December 2, 1967) is the founder and senior pastor of LifeChurch.tv, a church with fourteen locations in five states. He is married with six children and lives in Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City, where LifeChurch.tv is based.[1]
Groeschel was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in southern Oklahoma, attending Ardmore High School. After high school, he attended Oklahoma City University, where he was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Craig attended for four years on an athletic scholarship, and received a Bachelor's degree in Marketing. Shortly thereafter, he met his wife Amy, and the two married in 1991. That same year, Groeschel entered the ministry as an associate pastor in the United Methodist Church. He attended Phillips Theological Seminary, which is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and secured a Master of Divinity degree. He was an associate pastor at First United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City when it was damaged in the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing.[2][3]
In 1996, Groeschel and a handful of people started Life Covenant Church in a two-car garage. Groeschel later told Business Week that he started by performing market research of non-churchgoers, and designed his church in response to what he learned.[4] Groeschel's non-traditional style was successful and attendance of Life Covenant grew rapidly, eventually evolving to become (as of December 2009) the second largest church in the United States with thirteen LifeChurch.tv campuses[5] Groeschel began using video to deliver some of sermons when his fourth child was born in 2001 and he was unavailable for the Sunday service; he discovered that the videos were popular with his churchgoers, and his church has continued to use them.[6][7] In 2006 he set up a website called mysecret.tv as a place for people to confess anonymously on the Internet.[8][9] Groeschel also began delivering his services to the Second Life virtual world on Easter Sunday 2007.[10]
Groeschel was named the 5th most influential pastor in 2006[citation needed] and LifeChurch.tv was named America's Most Innovative Church by Outreach Magazine in 2007[11][12] and 2008.[13]

I must admit, I was skeptical that the rag-tag protests that started in NYC would spread as fast as they have. But as we saw with 1968, and now in 2011, protests in one country can easily spill over to other countries. Now protests in one city, have spread around the country.

SB 130 is now a law.
Ohio. I would post a link, but my right click isn't working.
It is a puppy mill bill. When it was first introduced it was disgusting. But now it looks not too bad. It is targeting high volume breeders -- more than 9 litters, and 60 dogs sold in a year have to be licensed/ regulated by the state. I don't like that they are requiring collars and tags at all times, but they are, unless the dog is confined in a kennel. My dogs will be ok, unless I go off the property.

Updated Album Page!
September 25th, 2014
Hey Friends!
We wanted to make you aware of an update to your "Albums" page that you'll notice this week. We're adding statuses to albums which will better assist you in the daily management of your album workflow! You'll still see all of the regular columns, however, instead of the column labeled "Approved", which is limited to a checkmark, it will now be labeled "Status" and identify more of the album's progress. Not only will this help daily album management, but it will offer more flexibility as we create new features for you. Also, if you purchase a design, you'll now see the details at the top of your album list in yellow while the initial drafts are created for you.
If you're working with a Design Studio, you're going to find these updates particularly helpful, especially since there are more stages to the proofing process in an expanded workflow. Also, you'll no longer have to manage your albums in different tables, based on where the design originated. All of your albums will be in a single column with clear status indications. Design Reviews will still be clearly identified at the top of the table and in yellow, in addition to the new status indicator, so you'll always be prepared to move those designs into the proofing process with your clients.
If you're on a free account, you'll notice new defined slots for your personally created trial albums as well as the active album slots for working freely with a Design Studio (if you're working with one). The added clarity will make it easier to manage your free account and manage all of your albums in one clean and pretty table!
We enjoy making your album process easier, and we hope you like the update! As always, please contact us at email@example.com with any questions :)

Is Album Design Slowing You Down?
June 25th, 2014
Know Your Options
The season for weddings and summer events are upon us! Which might mean you're already feeling a bit behind and possibly bogged down with album designs that need your attention? Well, we're here to help…Did you know that we've been offering album design services, easily accessible from your albums page? If you're already outsourcing your album design to a designer, excellent! – We encourage you to keep using the options that work best for you and your process. For those of you needing a hand or looking for a streamlined solution, we wanted to make sure you knew your options, especially since a lot of our users have mentioned to us that they'd like to be able to keep their complete album process and workflow in one place.
How It Works
It's easy peasy and right in line with your normal AE process. First, you'll need to be logged into your account. Second, click on "Create New Album" and you'll see the option to "Buy a Design", just below the normal 'Upload Design'. Third, configure your details. Then confirm and submit…done and done! Feel free to catch up on other things while we go to work on creating a beautiful album design for you to review. Just a quick heads up, if you're currently working exclusively with a Design Studio through AlbumExposure, this feature won't be available to you, as you're already getting great designs from your designer!
Coffee Anyone?
The design style we offer is clean, classy, and modern, which we feel allows the images to really pop and makes for a timeless result. You can choose white, black, or mixed (white and black) backgrounds, keeping things simple while allowing for some variety. Our team goes to work from scratch to layout your album without templates and tell the story of your event the way it should be told.
PLUS, for a limited time (until July 8th, 2014), we'd like to treat you and a friend to coffee when you buy your first design!
That way, you can take a few minutes to relax and recharge while your album is being designed for you! Learn more and see design samples on the Design Service Page in your account. Have you met our Partners?
If you're still searching for the right design solution or need more customization than we currently offer with our design service, please check out our Design & Post Production friends on our Partners page. We've added several new companies to the list and all are amazing people with great design talent.
Please reach out to us with any questions, at any time, for any reason! We're here to help you craft your perfect album process and make your life easier when it comes to albums, so give us a shout if we can help.
Cheers, The AlbumExposure Team
Updated Feature for Customizing your Domain!
March 21st, 2014
One great feature in AlbumExposure has always been the ability for you to customize the URL in order to make everything on the client side look like it's coming from your website. This way, when your clients log in to view their album presentations, it will be all about your brand in every detail. It has always been our goal to help you keep your brand in front of your clients as much as possible.
Today, we are introducing a new method that is easier to setup than the previous one, more accessible to all of our users, and offers higher functionality. Some of you didn't have access to your server files, which was previously required, so the new DNS customization method will make it easier to setup via your registrar or host. In addition, you will have the ability to link directly to an album when using your custom domain and can send clients on a more direct path to their albums. Also, this feature upgrade will fix a few Safari specific browser issues that some of you may have recently noticed.
If you've set up masking previously or if this is your first time, please follow these quick steps for setting up the newest method of URL customizing for your account. You can view a quick video on our tutorials page or walk through the steps and screenshots below. Please let us know if you have any questions during the setup, we're more than happy to help get you dialed in with your custom domain!
#1 – Determine your preferred custom domain
The most common subdomain that we see used is 'albums' (e.g. http://albums.YourStudio.com). You could also use 'proofing', 'albumproofing', or any other subdomain you prefer to fit your website structure. One important item to note is that you'll need to use an entire domain or subdomain with no directories (For example, http://YourStudio.com/albums will not work). Before getting into the next few steps, you'll want to make sure you know what domain or subdomain you would like to use. In this example, we're going to set up a subdomain where clients will access our albums at albums.garysikes.com.
#2 – Create a DNS record at your registrar or host
The first step to setting up your custom URL will not be in AlbumExposure, but rather at your registrar or host – wherever your domain's DNS is managed. This will be the same place as your name servers. For example, if your domain is registered with Dynadot, but hosted at DreamHost, and you're using DreamHost's nameservers (like ns1.dreamhost.com), your DNS is managed at DreamHost.
Locate your domain (YourStudioDomain.com) in your domain list and click to edit the DNS. You want to add a new DNS record with a type of CNAME. The name of the record should be your subdomain (such as 'albums') and the value 'albumexposure.com', which is where you want the record to point. Then save this new record and you're done with the second step! (Note: the new record will often take a minimum of an hour and sometimes longer to become active depending on your registrar or host.)
A few visuals for step #2 from our GoDaddy (registrar) account:
Locating the DNS for my domain and clicking to 'edit' the DNS record –
Adding a record –
#3 – Enter your custom URL in AlbumExposure
The next step will be to tell AE what your custom domain is. Inside AlbumExposure, visit Settings > Presentations and in the 'Masked URL' field, type the full domain you chose in step 1. Make sure you include http:// in front too.
In this example, our full domain is 'http://albums.garysikes.com'.
#4 – Use your custom domain in your Send Link email template
Your last step will be to edit your send link email template to use your custom domain. Inside AlbumExposure, visit Settings > Communications and inside your template, replace the merge tag '{url}' with '{masked_url}'.
Now on every new album you create moving forward, when you click on Send Link within an album, you'll see the url populate automatically for you with your custom domain to provide to your client.
Let's take a look at the results!
Now your clients will only see your custom URL, like it is coming from your website every time.
Your client's presentation view –
Please let us know if you need any help getting setup or switching from the old method. Quick note regarding the old masking method: If you have any active album links out to clients, you'll want to leave it as is. It will not effect the new method or new album links moving forward and album links you have out to clients for the old method will still work properly. Once all old albums are archived, you can always delete the old masking folder from your server, but leaving it alone will not hurt anything going forward.
If you have any questions or need help setting up your custom domain, feel free to reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com! We hope this feature update makes it even easier for you to create a great experience for your clients while they enjoy their beautiful album designs.

Updated User Interface!
January 14th, 2014
Hello friends and Happy New Year!
As you may have seen, we've kicked off the year by releasing a new update to our User Interface today!
Overall, the design is cleaner and the interactions are more efficient.
The navigations have also been reorganized. So, you'll now find "preferences" under "settings", where the different types are more clearly separated. We're confident this will make it easier for you to manage email and communications now that it's more readily accessible. As for "billing", this has been renamed to "subscription" and appropriately moved under "account", where you can better manage all account items in one location. Additionally, under "account", you might notice the ability to have multiple payment methods and addresses. This is a structural change that may benefit you in the near future, but won't have any immediate impact or require any of your attention currently.
Songs is still a primary navigation, but we've updated the page for easier management of your music and better listening tools for previewing songs as you decide what to pair with a particular album design.
It was time to update the affiliate resources as well, so you'll see new banner designs and a cleaner interaction.
So, the primary purpose of the UI update today is to improve the look, feel, and efficiency of interactions. Underneath it all, this release will also include several structural updates that will set us up to release more features and improvements over the next several months. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to the roll out of more features as well as fun things in the weeks and months to follow.
As always, please feel free to reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or need help dialing in your workflow!
Cheers, The AlbumExposure Team (Gary, Jared, Jeff, Chris & Ayca)
Indication of Covers and a More Secure AlbumExposure!
October 16th, 2013
Hi Friends,
We wanted to update you on a couple of new features. You may have recently noticed that every page uses https and a small lock icon shows in the URL bar, which means AlbumExposure is now even more secure! We're always being mindful of your security, so we're excited to have made this improvement.
Another feature we added is the ability to indicate whether the first and/or last spreads of an album are actually representing the front and/or back cover. If either of these are marked as a cover layout, they will be indicated as such in the spread/page count during presentations. The benefit here is that your spread/page count will remain accurate, rather than including covers in the count.
There are currently two ways to create a front cover for an album. One, you can design a spread with the left-hand side blank and the right side as a mock cover (flat color or leather texture). If the cover has an inlayed image, include it at the appropriate size and in the proper place on the right side, as a layer on top of your texture. Two, if your design software forces you to export as individual sides, you can still design the right side as the cover and just ignore the blank left-hand side. Then, when uploading sides instead of spreads and converting all sides to spreads in AE, don't forget to indicate by checking the box that says 'Album Starts on Right'. This will create an appropriate spread for your album's dimensions with the cover on the right side as desired. If you're including a back cover, you'll want to take a similar approach, but with the opposite orientation. Design your layout with a blank right-hand side and the back cover design on the left-hand side. Again, if working with sides, rather than spreads, upload your cover as the last side in your set of layouts and it will convert to a spread, leaving the right side appropriately blank for a back cover.
See below for an example of what this looks like, both in your account for choosing cover layouts and in the presentation view for your client's experience:
We know this will clarify page counts for your clients and hope this streamlines your process even more. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions – We're here to help :)

Brand New Shiny Email Templates!
September 9th, 2013
Hey friends, We recently pushed out an update that we think you'll be really excited about! All of the emails sent to your client and branded with your logo are now much cleaner and dare we say pretty! This includes the Send Link emails as well as all client notification messages. Here's an example…
Your logo will now be at the bottom of the emails, and if a client ever decides to reply to the email or forward it to someone else, the background is now white instead of grey! Hope you love this change as much as we do :)

Sweet Update & New Edition (not the music group)!
March 4th, 2013
Hey Friends,
Wanted to let you know about some exciting happenings over here at the AlbumExposure headquarters! Today we are launching a new version of AlbumExposure that has been specifically crafted for design studios. With this new edition has come several improvements to the current photographer edition, so we wanted you to know that you'll notice a few little changes and updates when you log in the next time. For those of you working with a design studio, post production company, or album company to complete your album designs, you're going to love the new interactions and if your design studio isn't using our new edition, you'll want to tell them about it ASAP.
If you have any questions at all, shoot us a quick email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to connecting with you and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new updates.

The Times They Are a-Changin…
October 30th, 2012
Hey there!
In the last couple years we've been moving away from Flash technology so we can continue to provide a solution that works flawlessly across all your devices. In an effort to continually embrace cutting-edge technology and increase device support, we've just performed a major upgrade to AlbumExposure's engine.
As a part of this upgrade, we've moved away from using Flash technology in our image uploading tool, which means that the image uploading doesn't work like it used to in older versions of Internet Explorer, but there's a good reason we've gone this route:
Usually technology improves in minor increments, but every now-and-then, a big leap is made. Oftentimes, to take advantage of these, some older technology (like Internet Explorer) has to go the way of the buffalo. Right now, we're leaving behind Flash technology in our image uploading system so we can make your overall experience better across more devices—especially mobile devices. In other words, to make a yummier omelette, we have to break a few eggs.
In our move away from Flash, we realized more than ever how slow Internet Explorer is to adapt to changing browser technologies. We were aware that earlier versions of IE wouldn't be compatible with these changes, but we found that IE 9 also does not support the advanced capabilities that we know our users need. Internet Explorer 10 will work, but only if you use Windows 8 as an operating system. Therefore, the easiest solution is to download Firefox or Chrome. We understand this will be a change for some of you, but we promise these browsers have much more to offer and you won't be disappointed with your decision to move forward.
We're excited that this update allows for faster uploads, uploads from iOS devices, and the capability to use all features of AlbumExposure on your iPad!
If you have any questions about this change or anything else, please feel free to contact us at email@example.com

… Lindsay J.C. Lack!
We absolutely loved the way you told Stacey & Steve's story through your photographs and album layout. Your pictures were vibrant, emotive, and made us feel like we were in attendance as well!
You can view Lindsay's winning album design here and check out her website as well. Below is just one of many stunning images that were included in her album.
Everyone submitted such great albums and we really enjoyed looking through all of them. We're so impressed by the talent all of you have!
Thanks for taking the time to enter your albums, and congrats again, Lindsay!
