i recently transfer a home directory backup to another host.Both on cpanel.I see a compressed file.I want to know how to and where to extract it to restore the home directory.I am just a user on a shared host.I don't have any root access.
Hello :)
You can click on the "Backup Wizard" icon in your cPanel and use the "Restore" feature. This is documented at:
[URL="http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/BackupWizard"]Backup Wizard[/URL]
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you.
Thanks.But I previously see the backup wizard which can restore.But to use it,I need to download the home directory and upload it.My home directory is 556 MB.It's huge.
So,I want to transfer the home directory to the new server without downloading and uploading.I wanna know how to do it.
As the Website owner, you might do better to contact your new host and provide them with your login details for the account on the old server. They can manage it from there I'm sure.
If you'd like to move the backup of the account to the new server yourself, using the Backup tools on the old account: cPanel > Backups > Download or Generate a Full Website Backup button, select the Remote FTP option and type in the details for the new account's FTP login. THis should generate a Full Account Backup and move it to your new account.
Still though, you'll need your host to Restore this Full Backup for you.
I do it.I back up it to the new host and i contact them to do it.But they did not reply and I think they have no knowledge to do it.So,I want to do it myself.Can you please guide me how can I restore it.
If you don't want to involve your own local internet connection (which seems to be your goal) you really only have two realistic options.
NOTE: Neither of the below options are cPanel sanctioned or recommended. We do not intend or design for you to copy your entire home directory this way. Using either of the below methods has a very real possibility of not working due to the fact that you [B]are[/B] copying configuration files, raw email, email account information, etc. Any effects of non-cPanel methods (like the below) would extend beyond the scope of cPanel support. I do [B]NOT[/B] recommend following either of the below and would instead recommend using cPanel's inherently available Backup/Restore for the home directory which has already been mentioned. I am simply providing the below as a courtesy to help you get moving on this, but this is not something we would support or recommend.
[Option 1] Hope that FXP ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_eXchange_Protocol"]More Info[/URL]) is enabled on both the Source and Destination server. This would allow you to use an FXP client to essentially use FTP directly between both servers. But, this feature is not enabled by default on any cPanel FTP daemons so it's a real stretch that it's enabled on both servers. Since you don't have root to then set this feature on, this may not be an option for you.
[Option 2] Alternatively, you need SSH access enabled on both the Source and Destination server. You could then use "rsync" to copy content over directly between boxes. Type "man rsync" at the prompt once connected via SSH to read the manual on how to use rsync, it's pretty self-explanatory.
Again, a reminder here that neither of the above options are recommended or sanctioned. Any problems arising from experimenting with the above unsupported methods would be at your risk and discretion. We [B]only[/B] support and sanction use of our own tools (the Backup/Restore feature for home directories in cPanel). I am providing the above information purely as a courtesy given your request for the information.
Just as a side comment:
[QUOTE=Pepdeal;1038391]My home directory is 556 MB.It's huge.[/QUOTE]
556MB is actually incredibly small in the context of hosting accounts. I've frequently used such backup/restore features with multi-GB accounts without issue. I'm not entirely sure I understand why you do not wish to use the cPanel provided backup/restore method, as it really is going to be your best option here.
brian, you're supposed to be a cPanel Support Manager and yet you are telling this person asking for help that you don't understand why he would not want to download a 500MB+ file so I'll try to explain this in the simplest language possible in hope that you will understand. Also, it was an answer like this that motivated me to actually register on this forum - since many of the time I see these answers that cannot help the individual.
Some people do not have fast download much less for fast upload connections. For example, I have a 5MB download connection with a 1Mbit upload connection. Why would I want to take over 30 minutes to upload a 500+ MB file to a server when there should be a good option to do so by bypassing myself - the middle man (the slow connection).
Problems that arise are
1. What if for some reason the connection breaks during the upload (time would be wasted, reupload would be necessary)
2. What if the server times out during the upload process?
3. I don't think SSH rsync would import databases nor does a site owner generally have access to this method.
4. I could be wrong again but I don't think the FXP would solve importing database back etc.
Furthermore, its a shame that cPanel has not used enough intelligence and wisdom to think that cPanels users (not the root admins) would want to restore their own backups (without uploading in the manner mentioned above). I would be more lenient in how I thought if cPanel is free but cPanel costs the most out of all control panels I've come across and yet the developers cannot put this feature to import a restore without having to upload (from middle man)? This is preposterous and frankly put - unintelligent.
Greetings risharde,
Welcome to the forums.
You are correct in that I do not see the benefits to performing a manual unsupported restoration method for an account of relatively small size. This is not something I would do myself on my own personal servers. This is especially given that cPanel & WHM provides a supported method of restoration. Even on a connection significantly slower than the one you've itemized, the risk vs. effort for a ~500mb account significantly favors using the cPanel supported method than attempting to manually move things over. Despite this, I had done my best to provide alternatives that the original poster could utilize so that they could accomplish the task through their desired behavior. Simply put, though, those methods are indeed unsupported.
Regarding your itemized list:
[1 & 2] You are correct. If you or your server has an unreliable/unstable connection, performing much of anything will be very difficult -- much less an account backup/restore.
[3 & 4] You are correct. Neither an rsync of homedir or fxp transfer of homedir would restore databases. The original poster requested homedir only restoration, though, which does not involve databases to any degree. Therefore, my advise alternatives did not involve databases.
The act of cPanel users restoring whole accounts themselves is more so a security concern than anything else. Even at a more general aspect, if customers were permitted to do this directly they'd be able to circumvent their own package limits and the like. This is why the only restoration actions that customers can directly make are limited to more granular restores like homedir itself, databases themselves, etc. versus overall entire account restorations.
I agree that it would be nice to permit these existing granular restorations to occur cPanel account to cPanel account directly versus involving the user's local connection. Off the top of my head, though, this feature would certainly need to be thoroughly thought over security wise. I encourage you to post a feature request for this functionality via [url=http://features.cpanel.net]cPanel Feature Requests[/url] so that a discussion can start on it.
The more support a given feature request receives, the more likely it will be considered for future inclusion to the product.

2000s Recipes + Menus
Six-Spice Hanger Steak
Serves 4 to 6
- Active time:20 min
- Start to finish:40 min
October 2008
During a research trip to Hong Kong, food editor Ian Knauer discovered that every family has its own recipe for five-spice powder, a pivotal ingredient in so many Chinese dishes. He took things a step further by adding black peppercorns to the aromatic mix, which holds its own against the robust flavor of hanger steak. As for side dishes, this would be delicious with steamed rice and stir-fried bok choy, but your menu doesn't have to be Asian—try it with a brightly dressed green salad and roasted potatoes.

"Anna Wintour came to see the collection today which is really exciting," he said. "She was very nice - she said she loved all the colour." He just about managed to keep a straight face but it was difficult not to imagine that he wanted to shout from the Parisian rooftops about it.Alice Temperley was there, too, with her husband Lars von Bennigson - both of whom were thrilled to talk about the success of the online film they had presented this season in place of a catwalk show. "We haven't decided exactly what we're doing next season but we want to explore new and innovative ideas every time," said Lars, as Alice revealed that she'd spent the entire day planning her new spring/summer 2010 collection - already.Antonio Berardi (looking decidedly cool ahead of his show on Tuesday - "Thank you, but I promise you all the stress is inside," he smiled), Christopher Kane and his sister Tammy, shoe designers Nicholas Kirkwood and Laurence Decade (whose work for the Nina Ricci show this week is still big talk), and the great and good of the French and British fashion journalism world turned up - including Suzy Menkes who dropped in despite having plenty of show reporting still to do that would keep her up late into the night - none of whom had been home to change between the Yohji show and this, but they couldn't miss a chance to see Mrs B and feel the fashion love just a little."It's wonderful of everybody to come," said the woman known as fashion's fairy godmother, ever modest.

History & Anthropology
Student Organizations
The department of History and Anthropology sponsors two student organizations, the History Club and the Anthropology Club. These groups usually meet once a month, and membership is open to any interested students, regardless of their majors. In the past these groups have planned field trips, brought guest speakers to campus, and conducted book sales to raise money for their activities. Dr. Jessica Cannon is the advisor for the History Club. The advisors for the Anthropology Club are Dr. Amber R. Clifford-Napoleone and Dr. Jeff Yelton.
University of Central Missouri also has a chapter of the national honor society for historians--Phi Alpha Theta. Induction into this honor society is based upon grade-point average and is by invitation of the department. Dr. Carol Heming and Dr. Sara Sundberg are the sponsors.
Students in the Department of History and Anthropology with suitable GPAs also qualify for membership in a national, interdisciplinary honor society, Phi Kappa Phi.
Social Studies Education Student Groups
At the present time, there are no specific organizations for social studies education students; however, all of these students are eligible to join the UCM student chapter of the Missouri State Teachers Association (SMSTA). All social studies students are also eligible to join the different clubs in the discipline. Examples of these clubs are the History Club, the Political Science Club, the Anthropology Club, and the Geography Club.

Handsome Furs, 'Sound Kapital' (Sub Pop)
"When I get back home, I won't be the same," Dan Boeckner sings at the start of his third album with wife Alexei Perry. But for this pair, "home" is a foreign concept; they're urban anthropologists, studying and blending the music of third-world centers. And when the metallic, staticky buzz of "Repatriated" and "Memories of the Future" brings to mind factories and shortwave radios hanging off vendors' carts, Sound Kapital does become the sound of "kids making noise with the generators." But occasionally, Boeckner and Perry replicate the ?lo-fi bustle of city life too well, achieving only a dense, dirty muddle.
Planningtorock, 'W' (DFA)
Planningtorock's Janine Rostron has worked with the Knife, so her unsettling videos and facial prosthetics will always exist in Fever Ray's oddly shaped shadow. Yet 2006's Have It All predated that partnership. Back then, Rostron was in love with Berlin (the city); on W's "Manifesto," she's a "believer of circular love" (object undefined), chanting and moaning and chirping in a pitched-down voice. Elsewhere, she's "your man," in love with "someone." Cheesy, horn-honking synths intertwine with strings and piano to obscure what's acoustic and synthetic. But sometimes confusion is sexy.
Xiu Xiu, 'Dear God, I Hate Myself' (Kill Rock Stars)
"If you expect me to be outrageous / I will be extra outrageous," Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart promises at the start of his band's seventh studio album. True -- but after 2004's creepily tender Fabulous Muscles, you'd expect him to be pretty sometimes, too. And on tracks like "Chocolate Makes You Happy" and "Hyunhye's Theme," cello, harmonium, and delicate guitar coexist with Stewart's darker, squelchier impulses. But it's with his jarring mix of the banal and the brutal ("I will always be nicer to the cat / Than I will be to you") that Stewart shows his outrageous brilliance. BUY: iTunesAmazon
Field Music, 'Measure' (Memphis Industries)
They were the polite kids in bow ties at the neighborhood birthday party, but Sunderland, England brothers David and Peter Brewis never outgrew their geekiness. Here, they pare down their arty indie rock to its smartest elements: nervous percussion and orchestral flourishes. Alternating meticulous power pop ("Measure") and anxious aloofness ("Let's Write a Book") with relaxed twang ("Clear Water") and pliant balladry ("Curves of the Needle"), the Brewises seek a certain balance on Measure. But over this geekily ambitious 20-song double album, that effort proves entertainingly futile. BUY: iTunesAmazon
Scout Niblett, 'The Calcination of Scout Niblett' (Drag City)
Emma Louise "Scout" Niblett has spent her last four records teetering on the edge, but now she's speaking directly from the void. Her minimal songs -- just one guitar and sporadic drums -- unfoldlaboriously, as though forcing themselves from Niblett's clenched mouth and hands. (Longtime producer Steve Albini couldn't have found a more perfect counterpart to his band Shellac's nihilistic grit.) "The voices said just do it," Niblett sings on the opening track, but her cagey wit on "Duke of Anxiety" shows that she's in total control. BUY: iTunesAmazon
Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, 'Know Better Learn Faster' (Kill Rock Stars)
As an angry, resentful breakup record, the fourth album from wry singer-songwriter Thao Nguyen is totally unsatisfying, at least on the surface. She doesn't pile on the hatred for her ex or threaten revenge, and opener "The Clap" is about, well, clapping. But Nguyen uses subtler weapons -- foot stomps stand in for her wrath, horns for her desperation, and strings for her heartache. "I can love you like this now / You can recognize it later," she predicts on "Cool Yourself." Her lazily smoky voice has its bitterly harsh moments, but her coolly analytical self-awareness stings the most. BUY: iTunesAmazon
Taken by Trees, 'East of Eden' (Rough Trade)
Ex-Concretes frontwoman Victoria Bergsman sings as if she never leaves her windowsill, let alone her native land. But this shy Swede (whose voice was the female counterpoint on Peter Bjorn and John's "Young Folks") recorded her album with local Sufi musicians in Pakistan. They could've overwhelmed her slight coo, but instead the wooden drums and flutes warm the cool, wistful melodies on "Watch the Waves" and "Greyest Love of All." The cover of Animal Collective's "My Girls" (retitled "My Boys") doesn't click as perfectly, suggesting that Brooklyn could be even more inscrutable than south Asia. BUY: iTunesAmazon
F--k Buttons, 'Tarot Sport' (ATP)
They endorsed "Sweet Love for Planet Earth" on 2008's Street Horrrsing, but these Bristol, England hippies get leaner, cleaner, and more athletic on their follow-up. Sonically, they're still supreme noise crafters -- "The Lisbon Maru" (named for a World War II Japanese freighter sunk by an American sub) trades their debut's airy tribalism for military snares and horse clops. But with the scuzziness mostly gone, the duo's piebald melodies push up front ("Olympians" plucks a beautiful keyboard line from an organ haze). And album bookends "Surf Solar" and "Flight of the Feathered Serpent" even add sweaty dance beats, so the inevitable distorted fade-outs feel more like a cooldown than a meltdown. BUY: iTunesAmazon
The Bats, 'The Guilty Office' (Hidden Agenda/Parasol)
Old Faithful probably covets the Bats' consistency. Over six albums, plus a ten-year hiatus, the New Zealand foursome, led by singer-guitarist Robert Scott, haven't let anything alter their ambling jangle pop. Thus, The Guilty Office recalls its predecessors, with better engineering focusing the details: layered violins on "Two Lines," the softly brushed drums behind "Broken Path," guitarist Kaye Woodward's cradling backing vocals. It's comfort music touched by human frailty, by a group that's outlasted the icons they've influenced, from Pavement to Belle and Sebastian. BUY: iTunesAmazon
Sian Alice Group, 'Troubled, Shaken, Etc.' (Social Registry)
With other bands Tweeting and gut-pouring, there's something startling about this London trio's impenetrability. They create mood songs as discrete units, each as bulletproof -- or smudgeproof -- as the band itself. Credit Sian Ahern, a singer with Nico's presence and complexion, minus the contralto. Here, Ahern's glassy, emotionless voice acts as a guide, snaking through tribal percussion and grain-silo howls, until the high-hat shimmer of "Salt Water" comes to a violent, distorted close. It's an ambiguous ending that makes the journey all the more fascinating. BUY: iTunesAmazon

Weinberg and his wife have a five-year-old daughter, Ali, and a nineteen-month-old son, Jay. The lecture gig was spawned when a booking agency got hold of Weinberg's 1984 book, The Big Beat, and asked if he'd be interested in speaking to audiences around the nation. It was a perfect opportunity because he could take his budding family along, he could hype Amnesty International, and he could, for a change, get out from behind the drums and meet his fans up close.
None of that had much to do with the Mighty one's recent visit to Miami Beach Senior High School. After the Amnesty International tour, Weinberg returned to Seton Hall, which he'd left in 1974 to do the E Street shuffle. He took a degree in January of 1990 and applied to law schools. "It was a dream of mine to go to law school," he explains. "I got accepted to several, including Georgetown, and I went to one for about a month. It was a big mistake. It took me completely away from my family. It was a good idea at the wrong time in my life."
The curve of life led him another way, and Weinberg now heads Hard Ticket Entertainment, a subsidiary label designed to specialize in jazz and classical releases. With distribution by the giant BMG, it is a pursuit with almost unlimited potential. "It's not like I'm selling records out of the trunk of my car or anything," Weinberg says. "I'm very happy doing what I'm doing now."
Hard Ticket's first project is Killer Joe's Scene of the Crime, essentially Weinberg's first solo album. For it, Mighty Max teamed with long-time friend Joe Delia, blues shouter Jimmy Vivino, and guests Little Steven, Jon Bon Jovi, Branford Marsalis, Southside Johnny, Phoebe Snow, Benmont Tench, the Beach Boys, Haywood Gregory, Tico Torres, and the Orchestra of St. Luke's. Weinberg constantly refers to Killer Joe as "Big Chill, big band," but that hardly does justice to what is a recording remarkable on several levels.
Despite a number of cover tunes and a fully retro approach, Scene is one of the freshest records out right now. The rough vigor is due to the fact that Max and his gang recorded the dozen cuts in three days using real musical instruments and real live human musicians. The result is all groove and no bullshit, the sort of rollicking good-time-for-all lost in these days of calculated music. There are a thousand elements at work, from the deep soul of Springsteen's "Club Soul City" to the blitzy giggle of "Peter Gunn '91," which lights a fire under Henry Mancini's pulsing instrumental from the old TV show. Another highlight is Springsteen's gorgeous nonvocal "Summer on Signal Hill," originally recorded by Clarence Clemons and the Red Bank Rockers on the B-side of their single, "Woman's Got the Power." (Profits from that track are earmarked for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters charity.) Jump blues, big band swing, good ol' rock, and much more come together beautifully in an album whose market is as difficult to pinpoint as the music is to categorize. It'll never move as many units as, say, Human Touch, but that doesn't lessen its merit.
And that these are high school students blowing the roof off the place doesn't lessen the impact of the jam session. After concluding his lecture, Weinberg has set up a drum kit in the middle of the Miami Beach High Rock Ensemble rehearsal hall/classroom and invited the students to play a couple of songs with him. What follows is a most amazing mini-concert.
The magical, motivational afternoon is partially attributable to, of all things, MTV. Weinberg was scheduled to provide his seminar to the staff of the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando on April 10. "I was watching MTV and I saw a story about Doug [Burris, the Rock Ensemble's instructor]. I was floored. I wrote down his name and called him up out of the blue. I said, `I think it's fantastic what you're doing. How about if I stop by, let the kids ask me a few questions, give them some inspiration?'" After Burris was convinced that the call wasn't a prank, he said sure. "I'm not getting paid for it or anything," Weinberg says. "He's doing a good thing and I wanted to help out. I can give these students a practical view of what it's like having gone from Point A to Point Z, I'm fortunate to be in a position to give them some insight. I was moved by the program, it's as simple as that."
The program began twenty years ago. Burris had been a band director in Highland Falls, New York, and took his master's degree at the University of Miami. "I wanted to be a rock star," Burris says. "My mom said go to college. She said, `I'll pay for the first semester,' which I knew she couldn't, but I went, to FSU. One of my major accomplishments was getting through that." A year or two before Dr. Solomon Lichter hired him to teach guitar at Miami Beach High, Burris was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis. He watched Weinberg's lecture the other day from a wheelchair.

Discover Performance
HP Software's community for IT leaders // September 2012Improve security with an Ops alliance
A partnership between Security and IT Ops is the first of four steps to greater security and reliability.
Maintaining a strong security posture is increasingly difficult for enterprises. Cloud solutions, mobile technology and the BYOD trend all make it harder to predict, identify and respond to threats. The increasing speed of business is similarly challenging for the Ops team. Both groups tend to work in parallel, their information and insights siloed. That's going to have to change.
Faster and better decision-making is predicated on visibility into both the operational health of the organization and the levels of security and compliance risk. Inspired by DevOps principles, the SecOps movement seeks to remove information silos that prevent Ops and Security from collaboratively working to reduce business risk.
The name itself, SecOps, has drawn criticism and some confusion as advocates struggle to differentiate the concept from DevOps, the separate effort to remove silos between those delivering and maintaining applications—the Apps and Ops teams. Whatever name eventually sticks, this collaborative approach between Security and Operations can help businesses recover more quickly from threats and service outages, degraded application performance and slow networks.
Shared insights, better security
From the Ops perspective, collaboration with Security provides a means to tell when a hit to infrastructure performance is not just an application malfunction, but rather an attack. Having Ops teams able to raise that flag helps the security leader too, and enables the CISO to:
- identify and resolve threats faster;
- evaluate and prioritize threats better, thanks to greater severity context;
- raise the business priority of identified issues;
- reduce investigation of false positives; and
- reduce cost by team collaboration.
An example of effective Security/Ops collaboration: Pooling and correlating telemetry and log data from across the organization can provide relevant context to efforts at resolving mission-critical application downtime. The organization can now understand not just whether the cause is a security incident, but also the "big picture" threat to the business.
Framing a productive partnership
Breaking down information silos requires not just buy-in, but active participation from key stakeholders in Ops and Security. The process of moving toward greater operational intelligence has four basic steps.
Step 1. Establish a partnership. Have an initial discussion with the Ops team to express the advantages of collaboration, and to explore the potential of sharing data across your teams and collaborating regularly, especially during crisis intervention.
Step 2. Agree on objectives. To collectively decide how to focus the benefits of increased visibility, identify and prioritize services that you can improve through collaboration. Note that Ops' and Security's focuses don't always align; this is the time to resolve conflicts and identify logical intersections of interest.
Step 3. Identify data for sharing. Which resources can be shared? How can you consolidate the relevant solutions, and, where are there gaps, redundancies or other issues? Not all security data is appropriate to share, so identify exceptions.
Step 4: Set specific goals, including automation, and remove roadblocks. Now that you have a sharing plan, set out specific tasks to leverage collaboration as fully as possible. Remove barriers to success and finding opportunities to automate processes. Specifically:
- Retire redundant applications; when there is a technology conflict, standardize on one.
- Decide how to remediate crises before they occur.
- Define roles, responsibilities and workflows.
- Create automated processes where appropriate to expedite workflows and eliminate human error.
- Practice collaborative response regularly.
Raising the efficiency of security
Collaboration between Ops and Security doesn't replace departmental specialization, which will continue to exist as it always has. Cooperation simply creates a data superstructure that lets these disparate teams resolve issues more quickly and leverage the advantages of a common analytics platform.
For years, Security has operated largely as a separate domain within IT. Finally, best practices are emerging to help you transition from a quiet cost center to a full participant in the agility and efficiency of the business at large.

One property of gears is they change the rotational speed of the axles that hold the gears. In this picture, there is a 40 tooth spur gear on the output axle meshed with an 8 tooth spur gear on the input axle. |
The gear ratio of this gear pair is 40 to 8 or, by simplifying, 5 to 1. That means it takes 5 revolutions of the input gear to make 1 revolution of the output gear. This results in a slowdown of the output gear by a factor of 5. If the input and output axles are reversed, then the gear ratio would be 1 to 5. That means the output axle would rotate 5 times faster than the input axle. Why is this so? The answer is because of the different diameters of the gears, and the relationship between rotational speed and linear speed. Both gears are moving at the same linear speed at the point where the teeth of the gears mesh but in opposite directions. |
The relationship between linear speed and rotational speed is, v = w x r, where v is linear speed, w is rotational speed, and r is the radius of the gear. The radius is half the gears diameter. Since v40 = -v8, we can substitute the above equation for v and get w40 x r40 = -(w8 x r8). Rewriting this equation gives w40 = -w8 x (r8 / r40). The ratio of r8 to r40 is 1 to 5, or w40 = -w8 x (1/5). The rotational speed of the 40 tooth gear is 1/5 of the 8 tooth gear, or 5 times slower. The negative sign means the rotational speed is in the opposite direction. |

@burcinc-- Hey there, many genealogists actually start off in this field as a hobby. I have done the same. I did my bachelors in History and took up some research related jobs after college but nothing directly relating to family history and genealogy in anyway.
I became interested in it when I was researching my own family history and discovered an online study group for genealogy. I took genealogy and research courses online and started doing more research mainly for my family and sometimes friends' families. I did not make any money off of my work for a long time.
I think this profession is still very obscure and there is no clear and defined path to becoming a genealogist. I would recommend looking up genealogy online study groups as a start. It also helps to have research experience and research skills.

Health News
Is it true that taking Tylenol or acetaminophen can be bad for you? I thought over the counter drugs are safe.
All drugs, including over the counter, have side effects; many of which you cannot feel. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the No. 1 reason for acute liver failure in the U.S. today. People generally take acetaminophen or brand name Tylenol for pain or to reduce fever. If taken in the right dose and without alcohol for a short period of time, Tylenol may not cause side effects. However serious problems can arise if it is taken with another medication that also contains Tylenol (acetaminophen). Unfortunately, most people have no idea that these other drugs contain Tylenol. Each year more than 56,000 people report to the emergency room with liver failure due to Tylenol overdose, and an estimated 458 people die, according to a report by Harvard Medical School.
Tylenol may seem harmless but you need to be aware of these warnings:
1. Read the labels and take only the amount directed. More is not better with Tylenol.
2. Avoid combining Tylenol with any other medicine that has "Tylenol" in its label such as Tylenol PM, Tylenol Cough and Cold, or any medication that has "acetaminophen" in its in- gredients. Also any drug that has APAP, cet or acetam as part of the name, contains Tylenol such as Lortab or Hydocodone/APAP, Nyquil, Alka-Seltzer Plus and Zicam. There are others, so check the ingredients in all your medications.
Get familiar with your medicine cabinet while you are reading this so that you can identify which medications are in there that should be avoided, and educate the rest of your family.
Tylenol is usually taken when one has a fever or pain and may not feel like reading labels, so if you have educated yourself before hand, you know ahead of time what to avoid to prevent Tylenol overdosing.
3. Avoid alcohol because not everyone metabolizes alcohol the same way, so any amount of alcohol could be too much. Alcohol decreases the detoxifying agent for Tylenol in your liver, so even a small amount could be a fatal combination. Also, fasting magnifies the dangers. This is why having too much to drink, forgetting to eat or vomiting, followed by Tylenol for a headache is the "perfect storm" that has been known to cause liver toxicity and even death.
4. The science is very clear about the risk of liver failure related to Tylenol or acetaminophen, but there is some research that it might also be bad for the brain and the kidneys. Prolonged use of Tylenol has been shown to increase your risk of renal cancer, memory loss and Alzheimer's.
Taking a pain reliever over and over again is like filling a leaky tire over and over without fixing the leak. Try to find the reason why you are having a specific problem, and eliminate the need for medication instead of just covering up the symptoms with medication.

*Halo and Sprocket: Natural Creatures — Recommended
- Posted by Johanna on May 11, 2008 at 10:54 am
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Kerry Callen
- PUBLISHER: SLG Publishing; $8.95 US
I'm very happy to see Halo and Sprocket return with an all-new graphic novel. The characters — the robot Sprocket, the angel Halo, and regular girl Katie — are still exploring philosophical questions and human nature with great humor and outstanding cartooning.
In this volume, Katie tries to explain to her roommates why people want privacy in the bathroom, societal expectations about women's body hair, and whether you should kill spiders. The group goes picnicking, where Sprocket tries being human for a while. Katie tries to explain why people cover their mouths when they sneeze, to which Sprocket responds, "If my body wants to get rid of stuff, I don't think I should catch it."
Sprocket is charmingly naive, so proud of himself when he figures out, for example, he can spin his head 360 degrees. Halo is aloof but approachable, unless you try to tell the angel that it got the answer wrong in a trivia game. They act as we consider normal… until they don't, and the reminder is surprising.
This is truly a comic that anyone can enjoy. The humor comes naturally, and the character interactions have surprising depth. Halo and Sprocket don't expect to be treated like humans, and often confusion results when Katie does so anyway. That's where the funny comes from, and the insight about human nature. I always come away from this comic with a new perspective on life and what matters. Some of Sprocket's questions, will stay with me for days, like "why aren't there any mouse-flavored cat foods?" or (and this one makes no sense without the context, but I don't want to spoil it for you) "Here's a photo of a puppy. Do you want to eat it?"
I haven't even mentioned the terrific art, with the characters feeling very realistic and expressive. It's easy to read and flows smoothly. Callen uses the comic page to great effect with sounds and structure.

João "Juca" Oliveira was 17 years old when he arrived in America from his hometown of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Right away, he began cooking at a conveyor belt of Bice restaurants — from New York to D.C. to Palm Beach. In the early '90s, he cut his teeth at Il Tre Merli and Folia, at the time two trendy South Beach trattorias. When he debuted his own Tutto Pasta in 1994, locals flocked to the Coral Way locale for fresh fare, unfussy ambiance, and low prices. The most expensive appetizer was beef carpaccio at $6.95, which was also the cost for a plate of homemade spinach-ricotta ravioli; entrées topped out at $8.99 for snapper with seafood. Prices have crept upward over the many years but still cling to the cusp of the "budget" range.
In 2001, Oliveira hit pay dirt again, next door to Tutto Pasta with the similarly casual Tutto Pizza. About a year ago, he completed the Coral Way trifecta with the debut of Zucchero, his swankest effort to date. This latest venture advances the same sprightly salads, homemade pastas, and simply prepared meat, seafood, and poultry entrées. Yet with most appetizers in the $12 to $15 range, all but two pastas $15.95 to $18.95, and entrées $18.95 to $24.95, Zucchero lacks the value the Tuttos tout. (It seems management has picked up on this, for some entrée prices — which originally ranged up to $29.95 — were lowered between our visits.)
The restaurant has a warm, upscale look. An entry lounge, fronted by a glass wall facing umbrella-shaded outdoor tables, boasts a lengthy bar with a handsome backdrop of slatted wood. Hugging the flip side of that backdrop is a champagne-hued banquette that stretches along one wall of the dining room. The opposite wall opens up to a kitchen gleaming in stainless armor and framed by dramatically lighted white stone masonry and six stools lined up at a counter. In between are 40-plus seats around black lacquer tabletops and a rotund white pillar in the room's center. The notion you're partly paying for atmosphere is true here.
We spent a short while nibbling on nubs of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (presented on one visit but not another) and dinner rolls — some white, some wheat. In retrospect, I would have preferred nibbling for a longer stretch before our artichoke soufflé arrived — at least long enough for the kitchen crew to bake one from scratch. The moist, eggy, steamy-hot disk seemed to have been baked in a small muffin tin earlier and zapped to order. It was tasty with a top hat of black truffle slice and a pool of thick asparagus sauce slashed with oil from the same fungi, but this soufflé had less lift than Joe Pesci in flip-flops.
An appetizer plate of fritto misto delivered light, crisp calamari rings and small spheres of the creamiest baccalà croquettes. The third component, a duo of crab cakes, tasted either old or just unpleasant. A "black olive mayonnaise" dip on the side turned out to be marinara sauce, but it worked.
Pizza should be something of a Zucchero specialty. The sauce on our Margherita was slow-cooked to mellow sweetness, and the slices were cheesy, but the crust, fired in a 700-degree wood-burning oven, was thin as a dime — and thus too cracker-like crackly. Speaking of dimes: On our initial dinner visit, we needed 139 of them plus a nickel for the exceedingly small pizza; two other pies with toppings were $16.95 apiece. Now the three go for $12.95, $14.95, and $15.95.
Pasta is the best repast to feast upon here. Thick strands of spaghetti came tossed with basil-strewn marinara sauce and four Kobe meatballs that tasted just fine — but there's no need to go to all of that trouble massaging the cows with sake and everything if you're going to grind the meat; mix it with eggs, onions, breadcrumbs, seasonings, and cheese; and cook it medium to well-done.
Homemade ravioli are offered in three colors. Inky black ones come bathed in shellfish sauce; egg-yellow are filled with ricotta, mascarpone, and truffle oil; and green pouches, served beneath a salmon entrée, are wrapped around a heavily thyme-tinged spinach interior. The thin, well-seasoned fish was pan-seared to delectable effect, capped with tender pieces of bay scallop, and drizzled with a thin, somewhat timid mustard sauce. It was formerly the only of four seafood entrées under $25, but now all are $25 or less — although at $18.95, the salmon/scallop/ravioli dish is one of the menu's best deals.
Sliced flat-iron steak braced with Malbec demi-glace exuded a delicious char-grill flavor and strong herbal notes from the marinade. A parsley sprig and grape tomato garnish were like the traffic light over an accident of Parmesan-truffle risotto, whose overcooked grains were seemingly bereft of truffle, Parmesan, and even salt. The steak cost $21.95; upon my return, I noticed the price had dropped $3. Timing, as they say, is everything.
The wine list is relatively short but contains plenty of red heavy hitters from Italy and a number of California selections for under $40. There were also a number of pricier reserve bottles and an array of by-the-glass selections for around $8. Waiters are more supermarket Chianti than Super Tuscan — young, light, and accessible but not smoothly experienced or capable of complex interactions (partly owing to language). During a particularly slow evening, a clutch of servers with no patrons in their stations clowned among themselves, which was distracting in the practically empty room. This also speaks to lax management; anyone who has worked in restaurants knows there is always something to do. Otherwise, though, service was affable and acceptably alert.

Down in the port of Marina di Maratea, an enchanting little harbor is home to a number of good seafood restaurants. Among them, the reasonably priced Ristorante Za' Mariuccia is reliable for stellar service and a solid wine listfish is filleted at the table, and the wide selection of bottles is stuffed into nooks and crannies throughout the restaurant.

Please login to view IET.tv Technology channel presentations.
As sales of laptops fall and those of tablets increase, employers ignore their employees desire to use their own devices at their peril! Workers want the flexibility that mobile devices bring, and employers have found that employees can circumvent restrictions which the employer may have on general internet or social media access at work by using their own devices. But how secure are they?
Why do employees want to use their own devices? How are the operating systems designed? Who controls the 'Android' and other operating systems, why and how? What of Samsung's new 'Tizen' operating system? How secure are these operating systems and therefore the devices which rely upon them? What security if any can be applied to those devices? What is 'sandboxing', and does it work?
And what of the 'apps' that people download onto their devices. Are they all that they seem to be? Can you trust them?
How do these issues fare in the context of the existing and proposed new data protection legislation? Dai Davis answer these and related questions, as well as discussion what - if any - legal controls exist over the use of 'own devices'. Dai will also point the way to both existing and future solutions.

Katie's Healthy Bites: Cut 100 Calories During the Holidays
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, November 30, 2010Thanksgiving is over, and that means the holiday season is in full swing. Hectic schedules, holiday baking and a few too many treats leave many people a few pounds heavier come January 1, but it doesn't have to be that way! Here are 5 simple ways to cut 100 calories during the holidays.
Skip licking the spoon: When it comes to cookie and cake batters, a spoonful can easily add up to over 100 calories. Save those calories and enjoy the fruits of your labor instead.
Cut fats in half: You don't have to skip the stuffing, mashed potatoes or your favorite holiday cake, but with every tablespoon of butter you omit from the recipe, you also cut 100 total calories. Your guests won't even know it's missing.
Topper trade-off: Can't enjoy pie if its not a la mode? Switch 1/2 cup of premium chocolate ice cream for 1/2 cup chocolate sorbet and shave 100+ calories from your dessert. Sorbet won't cut it? Opt for 1/4 cup of ice cream instead to cut 100 calories.
Appetizer awareness: Swap out 1/4 cup of a sour cream- or mayonnaise-based veggie dip for one made with non-fat yogurt and save 100 calories. Also, snack on veggies like roasted peppers and artichokes instead of high-fat cheeses like brie. Just 2 ounces of brie packs on 200 calories versus a 1/4 cup serving of lightly-oiled roasted vegetables, which weighs in at around 50 calories.
Be mindful of calories in beverages: Swap one glass of wine for a sparkling water flavored with fresh cucumber slices or another non-calorie beverage like iced tea to save 100 calories.
TELL US: How do you save calories during the holidays?

1st Prize
The poster aims to present a personal intention. The colors and shapes that make-up the illustration do not pass, in essence, a simple proposal: to offer a sincere look, a noble gesture, a pure smile and some fresh flowers (and with them their scent) to an unknown person, to a total stranger, which does not belong to your social circle, your school, your political party, your religion, your race, your tribe, your nation or country. Giving flowers to those you love or you wish well represents the true statement of a feeling. Offer these flowers to a stranger, to an opponent, it is an act of confidence that means peace is possible between men and nations. Let us all live this intention, in search of a harmonious world and of peaceful coexistence.

Ossian Studios is very familiar with RPGs, having developed two games for the Neverwinter Nights franchise. Therefore I'm eager to hear more about their just-announced RPG for iPhone: "The Shadow Sun," a 3-D RPG that obviously draws from genre classics. CEO Alan Miranda writes that The Shadow Sun will "bring together the high adventure of classic D&D, combat inspired by Fable, Zelda, and The Witcher, and the fear of otherworldly horrors of H.P. Lovecraft."
The Shadow Sun's world and plot is hinted at in this snippet:
This is a world in which magic is wielded by only a few, where a cataclysm a millennium ago still fuels hostilities between the civilizations that remain, and where much of the lands beyond the fringes of human settlement remain a deadly unknown. It is also a world that has felt an alien touch upon its sun, shrouding it in ever-increasing shadow with consequences that are only now becoming horrifically apparent.
The game is rich in promised features that will feel familiar to any RPG fan: the ability to become a hero or a villain, combat featuring both magic and traditional weapons, fighting companions who may join you in your journey, and of course a story packed with "intrigue" and "shocking surprises."
The real question is how well Ossian will fit these elements together while creating a game (and a story, for that matter) that still manages to stand out. I'm still longing for a real, complex 3D RPG experience on my iPhone…perhaps The Shadow Sun will be another step in that direction. Expect to see it sometime in late 2010.

Apple sends out invites for September 10 media event with the tagline: "This should brighten everyone's day."
Posted By Enrique Manalang On September 4, 2013 @ 9:00 AM In iOS | 2 Comments
Apple has sent out invites for its media event on September 10. The event will be held at its Cupertino headquarters and will begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. The invitation features multiple colored circles, possibly referring to the different colors of the rumored iPhone 5C, and features the tagline, "This should brighten everyone's day."
No announcement was made regarding a livestream for the event, but if it's anything like Apple's previous event, that should be cleared up as we get closer to the event. In terms of the announcements at the actual event, Apple is widely expected to unveil the long-rumored and possibly leaked iPhone 5C, which is a low-cost addition to the iPhone lineup, as well as the iPhone 5S, the successor to the iPhone 5 that is rumored to include improvements like a faster processor, improved camera and a fingerprint sensor.
Any dotTechies excited for the event? Personally, I can't wait to replace my slow and aging iPhone 4! iOS 7 should be a welcome change too.

Holy Grail Body Transformation
Tom Venuto, who is the author of the best-selling e-book, 'Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle', has now created a new diet and fitness plan called The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program.
The program is based around losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time, which Venuto emphasizes is very difficult to achieve. This is why he calls his program the Holy Grail, because this outcome can be seen as the ultimate prize for many of those involved in bodybuilding and dieters interested in improving body composition.
Body Transformation Diet Basics
The first part of the book discusses the theory and science of gaining muscle and losing fat. Venuto explains that with most weight loss programs you lose muscle at the same time as losing fat but by using the Holy Grail techniques you will be able to gain a small amount of muscle while also losing fat.
In the second section Venuto provides dieters with a detailed eating plan that is based on nutrient timing and nutritional periodization. This involves changes in the composition of your diet whereby for three days you consume a reduced calorie diet followed by one higher calorie day.
You will also make adjustments in your daily nutrient intake and there is a particular emphasis on post-workout nutrition. Dieters are advised to eat within 30 minutes after finishing exercise and the meal should contain a combination of protein and carbohydrates.
Liquid meals after workouts are recommended because they are absorbed more rapidly than whole foods. You can either use a commercial post-workout drink or make your own using ingredients such as whey protein and carbohydrate powders. Venuto says that if your primary goal is fat loss then you may be better off sticking with whole foods, even after your workout, because they provide more fiber and are better at satisfying your appetite.
Dieters are also recommended to consume their two largest meals of the day as the pre and post-workout meals. These meals should also contain most of the carbohydrates. For the remainder of the day food intake will consist mostly of lean protein, healthy fats and green vegetables.
Recommended Foods
Oatmeal, whey protein, egg whites, cottage cheese, low-fat yogurt, chicken breast, salmon, tuna, lean beef, potato, yams, brown rice, green beans, lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, tomato, onion, peppers, blueberries, oranges, banana, peanut butter, light salad dressing.
Sample Holy Grail Body Transformation Meal Plan
The following is an example of a 1500-calorie low-carb day for women.
Breakfast (Pre-workout meal) 2/3 cup oatmeal |
Morning Snack (Post-workout meal) 2/3 cup oatmeal |
Lunch 4 oz chicken breast |
Afternoon Snack 5 oz lean beef |
Dinner 4 oz chicken breast |
Exercise Recommendations
An entire section of the Holy Grail Body Transformation is devoted to training recommendations and exercise is a very important part of this program. Resistance exercise is essential because this is the most effective way of building muscle.
The Holy Grail program does not require that you follow a specific weight training regime however Venuto does provide some guidelines to adhere to so that you can obtain optimal results.
Cardio exercise should also be performed 2-3 times per week for 20-50 minutes because this can improve muscle growth as well as improving fat loss. Dieters who wish to enhance fat loss can increase aerobic exercise to 4-7 days of the week.
Costs and Expenses
The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program is available in e-book format. Price varies – currently $47.
- Increases the ability to burn fat and gain muscle at the same time.
- Does not require the restriction of carbohydrates.
- Periodic high-calorie days will make it easier to stick with long-term low-calorie dieting.
- Alternating calorie intake avoids the reduction in metabolism that generally occurs with prolonged calorie restriction.
- High protein intake helps to reduce appetite and maintain or build muscle mass.
- Encourages exercise.
- Addresses the importance of sleep and stress management.
- Meal planning is quite complicated and will involve calculating the amounts of calories, protein, carbohydrates and fats.
- Will be very difficult to eat in restaurants or social situations.
- Requires elimination of alcohol until desired results have been achieved.
- Does not include meal plans for vegans.
- Does not include recipes.
The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program may help dieters to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Although results are not guaranteed, dieters can increase the likelihood of achieving this goal by following the recommendations outlined in this book.

My Ode to Junior High
Miss Educator

- Hello!
I spent a lot of time deciding if I should go by the name miss-educated, or miss-educator...
I don't know which is worse, but I am pretty sure they both describe me. Not that I don't try my best, but my career as a junior high English teacher involves a lot of time feeling like I could never possibly have enough resources to do our youth any justice.
Still, beyond the struggle, I love teaching and learning and I try to do the best I can possibly do.
For this blog, I am not focusing so much on strict theory or research or policy or politics.
I just hope to give a small window into the daily issues we educators face each day.

AP Retail Writer= NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is reporting a 9 percent increase in third-quarter net income as the world's largest retailer continues to woo back shoppers by reemphasizing that it has the lowest prices.
The company, based in Bentonville, Ark, says Thursday it earned $3.63 billion, or $1.08 per share, in the quarter ended Oct. 31. That compares with $3.33 billion, or 96 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Net sales, excluding Sam's Club membership fees, rose 3.4 percent to $113.2 million.
Analysts were expecting $1.07 per share on revenue of $114 billion.
Wal-Mart says its revenue at stores opened at least a year rose 1.5 percent, below Wall Street's estimate of 1.8 percent.
Wal-Mart narrowed its full year earnings guidance and issued a fourth-quarter profit outlook that's below analysts' forecasts.
