Product Information
- Hydro Wheels Cars Bath Racers Lightning McQueen from Mattel
- Part of the Disney Cars brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
What It Is
Fans of the Cars movies now have a new place to play with Lightning McQueen–the bathtub! Hydro Wheels Cars Bath Racers are small plastic cars, a little more than three inches long, that were designed to race in the water. The directions on the packaging say to push the car back and forth three to four times and release it in the water to watch it go. We tried this many times, and while the car did move in the water some of the time, most of the time the wheels would spin but the car just floated. We found that the more times you rev the car, the better it works in water.
Is It Fun?
Cars fans will be happy to have Lightning McQueen to play with in the bathtub. And even though it's not the intended use for it, the car does work well out of the water by pulling it back a few times and releasing it.
Who It's For
The Hydro Wheels Cars Bath Racers Lightning McQueen is for ages 3 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
There are other Cars Bath Racers available including Jeff Gorvette, Max Schnell, and more.

Makes enough for two people After applying this scrub, your feet (and lower legs, if you choose to use it on them) will feel clean and energized. For a refreshing, invigorating scrub, use a peppermint or rosemary hydrosol. For an antifungal/antibacterial scrub, choose a tea tree hydrosol.
· 1 tablespoon sea salt, finely ground · 1/2 tablespoon old-fashioned oats, finely ground · 1 teaspoon hydrosol of your choice — try peppermint (Mentha piperita), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) or tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Combine dry ingredients in a glass bowl and moisten with the hydrosol to form a paste. Sit on the edge of the bathtub and wet your feet. Apply scrub to dry areas of the feet and gently massage. Prevent clogging the drain by removing any excess scrub from the tub. Rinse feet with warm water.
Your feet will feel refreshed and smooth. Do not use this scrub if your feet are cracked or if cuts or abrasions are present. Dispose of any leftover scrub.

Lay to detail his views in speech just weeks before trial
MARY FLOOD, Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle | October 20, 2005
On Dec. 13, just more than a month before his Jan. 17 trial with former CEO Jeff Skilling and ex-top accountant Rick Causey, Lay will discuss Enron's fall at the Houston Forum's lunch program.
The nonprofit Houston Forum invites political, business, arts, sports and other leaders to speak.
The group's Web site notes that it has had prior Enron programs and "now we will hear from the man himself about the collapse that rattled Wall Street and the corridors of political power."
Since his indictment in July 2004, Lay has been unusually talkative for a defendant.
He held a news conference, granted many interviews and established a Web site with his comments, legal filings, articles and background about him.
"Ken has always been a public guy. He's probably spoken to this group three or four times before," Mike Ramsey, Lay's lawyer, said.
Ramsey said he's not worried about his client talking publicly not long before the case begins.
"Enron's collapse hurt the community. I think Ken owes it to the community to explain his view," Ramsey said.

Love Notes
From Frank to Mary on her Birthday - 2001
Happy Birthday, Mary
Don't be concerned that you hit sixty-four,
Cause it's only a door to a lot more.
Your physical beauty is still very real,
But your compassionate soul has greater appeal.
They say our souls are expressed in our eyes,
And I know in your case this truly applies.
The animals are grateful for what you've been doing,
For people to animal rights you've been wooing.
Since you became vegan in nineteen eighty-eight,
Over a thousand animals have been spared a cruel fate.
And thousands more have been spared the plate,
Because you help people the cruelties to contemplate.
Your efforts in health and vegan diet have been two-fold,
For fullness of life both humans and animals can behold.
So on behalf of many animals, people and me, if I may,
I wish you my undying love and a very Happy Birthday!

MARX'S CONCEPTION OF MAN IN CAPITALIST SOCIETY BERTELL OLLMAN Assistant professor, Department of Politics New York University In this book, the most thorough account of Marx's theory of alienation yet to have appeared in English, Professor Ollman reconstructs the theory from its constituent parts and offers it as a vantage point from which to view the rest of Marxism. The book further contains a detailed examination of Marx's philosophy of internal relations, the much neglected logical foundation of his method, and provides a systematic account of Marx's conception of human nature. Because of the widespread interest in Marx and in alienation, this book will appeal to a considerable range of readersto philosophers, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists and psychologists, as well as to those interested in Marx's economic theory and in radicalism in general. '...far the most comprehensive and original book on this aspect of Marx's thought. Ollmans's work is very scholarly: he has an extremely good knowledge of all of Marx's writings and also of the secondary literature, and uses this knowledge to great effect. There is no book giving such a comprehensive account of Marx's writings. Even more importantly, Ollman's approach is original: using the tools of linguistic philosophy, he sets out to examine Marx's use of language and succeeds in showing that much criticism of Marx is due to an inadequate appreciation of the way he used concepts. Ollman's work is thus bound to be regarded as a serious and original contribution to the current debates about the interpretation of Marx.' DAVID MCLELLAN, author of The Young Hegelians and Karl Marx and Marx before Marxism. 'Dr Ollman's book is "a serious work, rich in original ideas, that strikes out on a path other than that followed by traditional Marxologie".' MAXIMILIAN RUBEL, editor of 'Études de Marxologie', author of Karl Marx, essai de biographie intellectuelle and other books and articles on Marxism. 'Bertell Ollman's treatment of value and alienationtwo of the central themes of Marxian political economyis clear and authoritative, the best I have yet seen from the pen of an American.' PAUL SWEEZY, editor of Monthly Review and author of The Theory of Capitalist Development and Monopoly Capital. |

Being unstoppable is about believing and achieving. It's about having faith in yourself, your talents and your purpose and, most of all, in God's great love and His divine plan for your life.
Millions around the world recognize the smiling face and inspirational message of Nick Vujicic. Despite being born without arms or legs, Nick's challenges have not kept him from enjoying great adventures, a fulfilling and meaningful career, and loving relationships. Nick has overcome trials and hardships by focusing on the promises that he was created for a unique and specific purpose, that his life has value and is a gift to others, and that no matter the despair and hard times in life, God is always present. Nick credits his success in life to the power that is unleashed when faith takes action.
But how does that happen? In Unstoppable Nick addresses adversity and difficult circumstances that many people face today, including:
· Personal crises
· Relationship issues
· Career and job challenges
· Health and disability concerns
· Self-destructive thoughts, emotions, and addictions
· Bullying, persecution, cruelty, and intolerance
· Balance in body, mind, heart, and spirit
· Service to others
Through stories from his own life and the experiences of many others, Nick explains how anyone wanting a "ridiculously good life" can respond to these issues and more to become unstoppable. What's standing in your way? Are you ready to become unstoppable?
About the Author
Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without any
medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic
came into the world with neither arms nor legs.
Imagine the shock his parents felt when they
saw their first-born brand new baby boy for the
first time, only to find he was what the world
would consider imperfect and abnormal. A
limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic,
and her husband Pastor Boris Vujicic had been
expecting. How would their son live a normal
happy life? What could he ever do or become
when living with such a massive disability? Little
did they or anyone else know that this beautiful
limbless baby would one day be someone
who would inspire and motivate people from all
walks of life. God uses Nick to touch lives and
bring the hope of Jesus Christ to people across
the globe.
Now at 27 years old, this limbless young man
has accomplished more than most people accomplish
in a lifetime. Nick recently moved to
California, USA, where he is the president of an
international non-profit organization, Life Without
Limbs, and also has his own motivational
speaking company, Attitude Is Altitude.

Yard sale shopper clobbers another with a cornbread pan in Sonora
Yard sale etiquette apparently went out the window Friday in Sonora after a 70-year-old man hit another man over the head with a cornbread pan while the two were trying to get access to the sale items.
Jon Joslin, 70, was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The victim, Joseph Brown, 64, suffered a head laceration but refused medical treatment at the scene, according to Sgt. Jeff Wilson, spokesman for the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Department.
The hometowns of the two men were not immediately available.
According to Wilson, Joslin arrived early at the yard sale on Via Este Road and was told he would not be allowed to buy anything until 8 a.m. because that was the advertised start time.
Brown arrived a little later, at 7:45 a.m., and apparently the two talked about how other yard sales operated differently, Wilson said.
At about 8 a.m., the two walked up a long driveway to the sale, with Brown walking ahead of Joslin.
Wilson said Joslin didn't like this, and tried tripping Brown. Not knowing what was going on, Brown continued, and Joslin tried tripping Brown again, Wilson said.
Now aware of what was happening, Brown told Joslin to stop and an argument ensued. Brown pushed Joslin, and Joslin — who had the five-pound, cast-iron pan in his hand — hit Brown over the head with it, Wilson said.
Deputies arrived, and took Joslin into custody, Wilson said.

Author Bio
Hilma Wolitzer
Hilma Wolitzer writes largely about domestic issues--parents and children, marriage, suburbia, and the problems of aging--in books that are routinely praised as sensitive, astute, and realistic. Wolitzer was born in Brooklyn, New York, during the Great Depression. As a child, she shared a bed with her two sisters, while her parents slept on a pull-out sofa in the apartment's tiny living room. She began working at 16, renting beach chairs in Coney Island and doing other odd jobs, and at 22 she left home to get married. Wolitzer had always loved to write; when she was nine years old, one of her poems had been published in a magazine sponsored by the New York City Department of Sanitation. Still, as a young wife and mother in suburban Long Island, she discovered that it was difficult to find the opportunity to sit at the typewriter, and she did not publish her first novel, ENDING, until 1974, when she was 44 years old. "There were some published short stories in between, but that's still a pretty long hiatus," she told one interviewer. "I could say I was busy raising my kids, teaching, and caring for my ailing parents--all true!--but that's no excuse. . . . I like to think that I was writing in my head during my fallow years." Wolitzer, who jokes that she should have been called the "Great Middle-Aged Hope," has since published more than a dozen books, some of them for young readers, and she regularly teaches writing at such schools as the University of Iowa, New York University, and Columbia University. Her daughter, Meg, is also a well-regarded novelist.

Halloween: Saturday Or Sunday?
Halloween this year falls on a Sunday and that's not sitting well with some Georgians who keep the day as religious. They successfully have pushed some city leaders to urge residents to send their kids trick-or-treating on Saturday. And that's led to confusion in Savannah and Macon. Some neighborhood groups had planned for trick-or-treating on Sunday.

At the time being, Hostgator offers three main hosting plans for business owners: the Hatchling plan, the Baby plan and ultimately, the Business plan. As the name suggests, the Hatchling plan is the most basic one and it features only the minimal services, at a highly affordable price by opting for this hosting plan, not only will you benefit from a 20% discount, but you will also get a single domain along with unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth as well as a shared SSL certificate for only $3.96/month.
On the other hand, the Baby Plan comes with the same benefits but instead of a single domain you will benefit from unlimited domains, at only $6.36/month, while the Business plan is the ultimate hosting plan that in addition to the benefits and features of the Baby Plan, also includes a free toll number and a free private SSL & IP. Most of the customers start with the Hatchling plan and they gradually work their way up to the Business plan as their business grows, and one of the benefits of doing so is that Hostgator allows its customers to easily upgrade from the basic plan to the premier plan completely free of charge. Other general features are including cPanel control panel with 1-click apps installer, free 4500 website templates for download, marketing coupons and including $100 Google Adwords.
One of the most popular methods of supporting your online business is by subscribing to the services of a web hosting company. Any Hostgator review speaks of the many benefits of shared hosting. The system is basically a setup where the users share the same server. Much like a dorm where you share the same utilities shared hosting entails that the various users share resources such as CPU time, memory and disk space. This is a plan that is most common when it comes to web hosting schemes.
One of the biggest benefits of shared hosting is low cost. Since there is a condition to share resources, the cost is relatively lower. For businesses that are just starting up and have small internet traffic, this is one of the better options. Similarly, it is also a good option for beginners and those who have not explored the arena of websites and referencing yet.
However, as with every model of web hosting, there are certain limitations to the shared hosting scheme. These are:
- In case of larger sites and greater traffic, there is a chance that your website will suffer from slowdown and shut downs periodically
- Resource sharing is an inconvenience for many as it limits efficiency
- Inability to change anything on the server to suit personal websites' needs
- There is also the problem of storage problems since CPU space is shared as well
Overall, however, shared hosting seems like a good place for beginners.
Hostgator VPS hosting and private servers are affordable. Hostgator also offers virtual and dedicated web hosting packages, starting at $15.96/month and $139/month, respectively. The hosting plans offered by Hostgator are very flexible, and you can always consider opting for a virtual web hosting package if you feel that your website is running slow or if you expect high traffic volumes anytime soon.
For those who are seasoned and have been in the internet business for longer, it might be more practical to invest in VPS Hosting services. The major advantages that VPS has over shared hosting are:
- Since VPS stands for Virtual Private Server, this is a variation of the shared hosting model that allows for greater amount of storage and RAM space.
- Since the CPU limits are more there is also higher control exercised over the server.
- Overall, the VPS Hosting system is more reliable and faster than Shared Hosting.
However, as with the shared hosting protocol, any Hostgator review will reveal that VPS comes with its fair share of cons. Some of these include:
- Almost 3 times the cost of shared hosting services due to the added features and benefits
- The higher storage space and control over the server can turn out to be an organizational nightmare for those who do not have a well staffed company. In case of VPS it is crucial that the IT sector of the business be well handled.
As we can see the VPS is a definitive upgrade to the Shared Hosting system. Especially for those who have to manage larger sites, this is most definitely an option to be seriously considered. In our final segment we look at the benefits and advantages of dedicated servers.
As the name suggests, this is a system where the entire server can be used by the customer. For those who have large companies with extensive websites, this is a great option.
The greatest benefits of dedicated servers are unlimited resources and work efficiency. However, the severe drawback to this type of system is that there are chances that the website could shut down if there are security issues. Not only does the entire responsibility of running the software rest on the customer, but it also comes at a high price.
When it comes to web hosting, the ultimate plan that the customer opts for depends on his/her needs and preferences. While smaller sites could opt for shared hosting, larger sites might find it worthwhile to invest in VPS hosting. When trying out dedicated servers, however, one must be sure to incorporate stringent security measures.

Why people are moving to Hostgator VPS web hosting?
Selecting the most powerful virtual private server (VPS) web hosting or budget dedicated server is significant, particularly when you're starting out. Price is always an issue if you are not producing any sales, and it can deter many companies from making the best choices. There are exceptional conditions for each kind of hosting out there that can make it the correct or the wrong selection for the needs of your online business. First, begin by taking inventory of where you're as a company, how long you plan on taking to get there, and where you expect to be. How to choose VPS web hosting plans? Read on to learn.
Most VPS hosting is allowed for businesses that have graduated from the start-up stage. If you're beginning to see actual results with your advertising efforts and you're bringing in the traffic and the sales, then protected from the risks in addition to you may need to ensure you're sufficiently prepared for the load. A VPS runs from one server broken up into numerous chambers that "act" like they're dedicated. To put it differently, you're sharing the fiscal responsibility with others, but your websites don't socialize. They may be partitioned off. So, you're better protected against malware and viruses. But the bigger you grow, the more limits your VPS will have for your company.
You have still got big plans ahead, and if your website is having trouble handling all the traffic, then you definitely might want to consider updating to a budget. These enable more autonomy while not totally cutting you loose from technical support. Then you may need to consider this alternative as the numbers do not lie if your growth strategies are competitive, and you are assured that your traffic will continue to improve to a stage of critical mass for the VPS.
Here's where you've got to be cautious. There are many hosting companies out there offering budget or a VPS but they keep severe limits on the number of 'electricity' you could really use. Rather than being restricted, it is better to work with an industry expert that can promise you will never be penalized for the popularity of your website.
Deciding on budget or a VPS is as difficult as believing all the sales pitch. Do your research to find the best value, and take nothing less than the best.
There are many matters to consider before you buy a hosting package. Two things to consider are flexibility and cost. As your web site starts to grow with visitors will your hosting package have the ability to grow with you too? There's no doubt a lot of people favor shared hosting for the simplicity of it and cost over the other hosting services. Nevertheless, VPS hosting is crucial if you plan on having an internet presence.
The primary reason is the flexibility you get with this kind of hosting although there are many reasons why individuals would decide to go with VPS hosting. If you're looking to have complete root access, this kind of hosting can be really powerful. Below are some of the characteristics and reasons why folks enjoy VPS web hosting.
- You get full root access.
- It Is quite affordable.
- You can decide to use Linux or Windows.
- You can install almost anything.
- Vital firewall characteristics.
With a Virtual Private Server you have flexibility and total control of the web applications which you select to use. Another popular reason many choose this kind of hosting is that it is considerably more safe and reliable than shared hosting. By using VPS you can select which operating system you'd like to use Linux OS or Windows OS. The popular choice is Linux OS because of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) that it uses.
For someone without knowledge of a web server works, a VPS can be an arduous job to keep. The solution to this issue is a control panel that is good. This kind of applications will simplify server management, and supply access to powerful features that can be used to bring out the best in your endeavors that are online. There are several control panels offering the same abilities, so it's better to concentrate on the details needed to streamline your management procedures.
Locating a great web hosting company can be challenging when you just have fundamental necessities. It gets even more difficult when more complex demands come into play. It's still a large step up from the shared hosting environment and therefore calls for you to take quite a few critical variables into account, all which can have a tremendous impact in some sort or another, although VPS web hosting is a manageable option in the right hands. Prior to making the final decision on who'll supply what, take outside some time to consider your choices and carefully assess your needs.

Price: First month $9.96, and renew at $19.95 each month.
Our verdict: This plan is for techie that knows how to access UNIX and perform command manually. We do not prefer this plan and this is not suitable for everyone. There is cost to save and some shouldn't be saving at all. When running a VPS, we want to access control panel and perform additional configuration and even access the server statistic too.

Choosing cloud server or dedicated server?
Choosing the right server for your company does not have to be an odious task. A server is a computer that acts as storage for data and even applications and then provides them to the devices linked to its network. For instance, when one accesses the internet, there is a complex web of servers are involved in relaying stored data to you.
There are many types of servers when categorized in terms of functionality. A mail server will help in the management of email for security of office data while a file server will be responsible for the storage, access and security of the network files. Other servers include proxy, web and application.
However for practical distinction purposes, a server is either a cloud server or dedicated server. A cloud server is a virtual computing machine that provides data management services. It is really an offsite system found in large data centers and is managed by a third party. A dedicated server is a physical computer system purchased by a network to serve their data management needs. Companies lease or buy an entire physical server that serves only their network. The user of a dedicated server rents the internet connection and the software used from a web hosting company. It is important to note that the Internet is actually a network of servers located all around the globe with enormous amounts of data and wide range of functionalities.
Why invest in a web server?
Companies will often not know whether to rent server services and if yes, which one to choose. The basic functions of a server are to store, retrieve and share information and data within a network whether it's a cloud server or dedicated server. It is important for every business or organization to have a server for these reasons. The server will act as backup for your files and data. This limits the chances of completely losing vital information therefore saving time, money and inefficiency in operations. A server will also protect information because access can be limited allowing only authorized personnel with a username and password to log in. It acts as a center for all data in a network. Centralized storage system allows for quick and reliable access to shared information within a network.
Cloud hosting services are usually shared services.
This means that servers are shared between the clients of the web hosting company that manages them. Cloud servers do not have the disadvantage that is posed by small traditional shared machines. In the past a shared network with another company meant inflexibility and slow traffic. Cloud hosting allows for the limits of the resources being rented to be expanded in case of increased use. In case of overestimation of the required resource such a huge amount of storage space, there is an option to scale down into a more fitting package. In fact, a good cloud service is like any other utility. You will pay for what you need and have used.
The benefits of choosing cloud servers are many.
Flexibility is high meaning that when extra resources are required, they will be provided as well as allowing remote access of data. It is also economical. One will pay for the services they are using instead of an idealized guess. They are very reliable because of the network involved. When one server is out of commission, another 'steps in' to continue providing the service. Finally, there is no complicated setup protocols involved.
A dedicated server is the best for securing data since it serves only one network and cannot be accessed remotely or by unauthorized persons. The server is under that network control over hosting and there is no third party data manager involved. There is also lower traffic problems involved in access of data and relay of information making it fast and efficient. The only downside is the lack of flexibility. The capacity has to be estimated. An overestimate means that it is not cost effective while underestimation means lack of necessary resources during busy periods.
Cloud server or dedicated server?
Choosing a cloud server or dedicated server will highly depend on the sensitivity of the data stored, the needs of a network and the cost effectiveness. A dedicated server will be great for ultimate security for vital data. However, cloud servers offer more in terms of economy, access and flexibility.

Hostgator cPanel control panel and baby plan
Hostgator cPanel control panel is the best
All their hosting accounts are using the most popular cPanel control panel. For our own Baby account, it uses the same thing. Right here, we are going to review this and provide as much information as possible.
Firstly, we can login to this cPanel via our domain name and without going to the official Hostgator.com homepage to do so. Here is our login link: http://www.topwebhosting.space/cpanel
Hostgator cPanel with custom main page
If you are having a few cPanel accounts with various top web hosts, you will know how unique this cPanel is. It gives us a really positive first impression and most users will find it interesting. At the top section, there is domain search and registration tool. User can perform domain WHOIS check and even transfer domain to Hostgator.
Next, there is a special offers section. At here user can find the latest product deals, upgrade or addon at discount price. We can easily find more extra free gifts and goodies from here too. Some special offers are made available to existing customers and it will be shown at here as well.
Hostgator cPanel uses QuickInstall 1-click installer
In this control panel, we also get 1-click installer tool included inside. They have given us two type of installer which is Fantastico and QuickInstall. The later installer tool is our most preferred choice and this is the one we use to manage our site installation. In here, we can choose from their long list of supporting open source apps and we are using it to setup WordPress, Magento, Joomla, SMF forum, Modx, and Drupal.
Hostgator email accounts and services are tested here
Their email setup and connection is extremely easy and bugs free. Our demo account is able to send receive mail instantly. The speed is fast and relay is short. Remember that their shared hosting permits up to a 200 emails per hour. If you send over this amount in any hour, most of the mails will bounce back with an undelivered error. That makes 4800 emails the server daily limit. Honestly speaking, that is a huge amount, compare to GoDaddy host that allow 250 in total per day per domain. For user that require sending larger than 5000, you can signup to their VPS or dedicated server. There are no limits in these plans and thus solve your problem.
Hostgator webmail program review
They provide a few webmail clients program and it can be accessed from web browser. Usually we will enter our URL and follow by "webmail" and this will bring up the management page like below. Here is our webmail login page, http://www.topwebhosting.space/webmail
If your email account's username and password is not stored in browser cache, then you'll be prompt to entering it again. After logged in, we will get Horde, SquirrelMail, or RoundCube webmail program. We most prefer SquirrelMail, cause of its speed of access and easier browsing.
Hostgator permitted file limits is one of the highest
From our finding, their entire shared plan (Hatchling, Baby and Business plans) allows 50000 files to be hosted and this is referred as inodes limit. In another term, user is allowed to host 50000 inodes in single account. User is allowed to host more than that and up to 250000 in one account. Problem is the first 50000 files will be backup periodically, remaining will be skipped. That is the hidden secret, and not many people know about this.

4) Hostgator, Bluehost and Hostmonster review
It is clear Bluehost and Hostmonster lack some of the most important hosting features by Hostgator. It is therefore advisable for users, especially those who need heavy hosting services to switch off to Hostgator. This is because its services are of higher quality and more reliable. It may however be more expensive, but you can't comprise the long term benefits of quality web hosting because of price. As a result, you will be sure of solid and honest business practices, secure backups, highly functional administration tools, maximum uptime and quality equipment backed up by highly functional and reliable customer service. In addition, you will enjoy benefits of world-class data centers and The Planet network that include quality cooling systems, safety, power and security.
Hostgator vs. Siteground review and our expert breaks down the facts
Picking a web host is one of the most important decisions you will make. The Internet is flooded with companies and it can be easy to get lost in all the noise. We're going to look at two of the Internet most reputable and well liked service providers. We will be comparing Hostgator with Siteground and seeing how they match up.
Hostgator is a company known far and wide for its web services. Founded in 2002, Hostgator is one of the longest standing providers in the web based market. The company has maintained a positive reputation throughout its long and tenured history. Hostgator currently hosts over 9,000,000.00 individual domains, making it one of the world largest providers. Although this appears to be a benefit, some members of the Hostgator community have complained that the rapid growth of the company has poorly affected its customer service. These complaints have been echoed back and forth for many years. We will discuss them further below.
- Pro: Hostgator has a long standing and widely trusted reputation. It continues to grow at a rapid pace allowing the company to upgrade its infrastructure at an unprecedented rate. With uptime of over 99.99% Hostgator is a strong pick for anyone who value reliability and acclaim.
- Cons: Hostgator rapid growth has had some negative side effects. As with any company that grows faster than it can react, negative attributes are sure to sprout up. The leading problem remains and continues to be sub-par customer service. This is a problem that has plagued Hostgator for years but has recently been shown to be improving.
- Benefit: Hostgator long lasting reputation and its amazing up times. Hostgator also remains one of the most resilient and innovative hosts; Keeping you at the forefront of changes and trends.
- Cost: Hostgator has full hosting plans for as little as $3.96 a month. Along with constant coupons and promotions, Hostgator always has incredible deals and savings. Backed with a 45 day money back guarantee it's hard to go wrong.
- You Should Pick Hostgator If: Uptime and innovation are what you strive for. If you need to stay at the front of the ever changing world, Hostgator has your back.
Siteground was founded in 2004 and has quickly grown to take the place as a top web service provider. Not nearly as well known as Hostgator, Siteground is not without its large and loyal following. Boasting over 250,000 individual domains, Siteground is far from a third rate host service. In-fact due to the ratio of employees to domains, Siteground has an un-blemished customer service reputation. This has helped it to retain a vibrant and widespread customer following.
- Pro: Siteground is a company that really places focus on the customer. With some of the best customer service of any company, Siteground is always there for you.
- Cons: Siteground hosts a slightly less consistent uptime of 99.93%. Although this means little to most people, for serious companies and individuals uptime is everything. In light of being a smaller company Siteground is not always at the forefront of upgraded infrastructure and design.
- Benefit: Siteground is a young company that keeps trying new and creative ideas. Their customer service is immaculate and their small but loyal following speaks for itself.
- Cost: Siteground has full hosting options for as little as $3.95 and backed with a 30-Day money back guarantee.
- You Should Pick Siteground If: You value customer service above all else. If you need the security of knowing someone is always there to help, Siteground is the place to be.
If you value being at the forefront of the world around you, a long history of dedication and innovation, Hostgator leans more in your direction. But if you yearn for constant security and human interaction, Siteground may be more for your taste. View our complete Siteground reviews and demo here.
Regardless of where you pick to host you can always change your mind. Transferring hosting has become a very simple issue that can be resolved by anyone with any level of technical ability. There are countless online tutorials, videos, and guides on how to go from one provider to another. Siteground and Hostgator both offer instruction on how to swap host and will be your best bet at accurate and reliable information.
Hostgator vs. Godaddy and our 7 keys comparison
Hostgator and Godaddy are no doubt among the top web hosting companies. This begs the question, which one between them is better? They are both popular because of the great services they offer to their customers. Getting to know the difference between the services offered by these two companies will help to make it easy for you to choose one among them that suits you best. Deciding to get hosting from the first company that you come across is not always the best choice. It is wise to compare different companies and to get more information about a given company before you make your final decision. This is an in-depth review of Hostgator and Godaddy as well as a comparison between these two major players in the web hosting business;
1) The price
When you get hosting services from any of these two companies, you can pay for the services on a monthly basis, after six months or annually. A quick comparison at their basic entry level hosting plans will show that you will be charged $3.96 per month when you use Hostgator and $4.99 per month when you decide to host a site at Godaddy. The prices change from time to time and that is why it is advisable to check the latest prices. Both companies offer discounts from time to time. Both companies also allow you to make your payments using PayPal or credit card.
2) Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the amount of data that the users navigating your site can transfer. There are many hosting companies that limit the bandwidth that can be used. However, both Hostgator and Godaddy offer unlimited bandwidth to their customers. Therefore, if you host your site using any of these two companies, you can be sure that everyone who will use your site will have unlimited access.
3) Disk space
Disk space refers to the place where your files, images and videos are kept. If you are going to create a site that will have so much information that includes photos and videos, you obviously need a lot of disk space. Both Hostgator and Godaddy offer unlimited disk space to their customers. However, Godaddy limits your disk space to a 100 GB when you are on the entry level plan. You will only enjoy unlimited disk space when you use any of the other plans that Godaddy offers.
4) Free domain name
When you take up an annual plan on any of these two sites, you will be given a free domain name. If you want to host more websites, you will have to upgrade to the more expensive plans when you are using both Hostgator and Godaddy. This is because the basic entry hosting plans only allow you to host one website.
5) Customer support
Customer support is very important for webmasters. This is because there are many problems that you can run into when hosting your site using a given web host. You need someone to help you sort out your problems as first as possible. Both Godaddy and Hostgator offer excellent customer services. The have both won awards for their high quality customer support. They both provide live chat support. Their technical support teams can be contacted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
6) Account set up
Setting up your account on both Hostgator and Godaddy is really easy. You can set up an account almost instantly when you use the services of any of these two companies so that you can start working on your site as soon as possible. However, there are times when it may take up to 24 hours for your account to be active on Godaddy.
7) Money back guarantee
Both Hostgator and Godaddy will give you your money back if you make a request within 45 days after paying for any plan. However, with Godaddy, you have to request for a refund 48 hours after making a payment to get a full refund. If you request for a refund after 48 hours, you will only get credits that can be used in-store only.
Hostgator and Godaddy both provide excellent webs hosting services. However, when you carefully analyze both companies, you will realize that Hostgator is a better choice because of the lower prices, unlimited disk space on all plans, faster account setup and a money back guarantee that has fewer conditions.

I decided to have a go at a pen body, since the shell for my favorite pen recently broke. I used a band saw, spindle sander, and belt sander - I made it at TechShop http://techshop.ws
I started with a small piece of wood, in which I drilled a hole of the diameter of the fitted end of my pen's innards.
From there, I held it up to a 1" spindle sander on each of the four sides, which created some nice grooves but also very sharp edges.
I then used belt sander to shape it a little better, angling the front to better transition to the pen's plastic, and angling the back to better "fade out."
I then held the body and marked where my forefinger and thumb most naturally placed on it - I sanded those areas with the spindle sander.
The end result had some very sharp and uncomfortable corners, which I softened by hand.
And there you have it! An easy, cheap, customizable, and comfortable pen body for all your pen-based needs.
I also included a photo of another pen body I made - although I used generic scrap wood for this, I think this particular technique would be great with wood that still has its bark - the color/texture variation would look good, though I am unsure of its potential comfort.
