Automatic Connections
Automatic Connections can be configured on a user's workstation to automate the remote connection process. The ability to include a pre-configured dial-up connection to your RAS server significantly reduces the administrative overhead associated with supporting these connections. There are two different ways to create an automatic dial-up connection with your Internet Explorer 5 package: Creating Dial-up Networking (DUN) entries, or using the Connection Manager Admin Kit (CMAK). The trade-off between these two approaches is between simplicity and features. Creating or importing an existing DUN connection is a very easy way to set up an automatic connection, but it does not offer all of the customization options available from the CMAK. This Appendix is intended as a discussion of the merits and ramifications of each approach; technical specifics can be found in the IEAK Help file, Appendix C and the Customization wizard walkthrough.
Importing a Connection
The easiest way to set up an automatic connection is to create your DUN RAS settings on the IEAK workstation, and then import these connection settings during the Customization wizard. For ISPs, DUN connections can also be created during the sign-up process, and this is the recommended method. Importing a connection will create a DUN entry on each user workstation to match those on the IEAK workstation. Dial-up, protocol and proxy settings for each connection will also be imported. If more than one DUN entry is imported, the default connection will also be made the default on the user workstation. The primary advantage of this approach is that it is very easy. DUN entries are usually familiar to both users and support technicians, which helps to reduce both the learning curve and administrative overhead. Imported DUN entries can be used in conjunction with a user's existing DUN entries, such as a business RAS dialup.
The sign-up process can be used to create new DUN entries on the user's workstation. Both serverless and server-based sign-up deliver a customized Internet Settings (.ins) file that can contain the information necessary to create a DUN profile. Server-based sign-up using the Internet Connection Wizard (ICW) can also preconfigure the user name and password.
DUN entries are the recommended connection method for ISPs. By using a sign-up server, the customer can select a local dialup number, which is then used for day-to-day access. The DUN entry will become the default for Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, and will dial automatically when these applications are run.
The Connection Manager Administration Kit
The CMAK is the tool used to create and administer Connection Profiles for Microsoft Connection Manager. Connection Manager is a client application similar to DUN that supports multiple phone numbers per Connection Manager profile; the ability to run applications automatically before, during and after a connection takes place; and Virtual Private Network support. Connection Manager is part of Internet Connection Services for RAS, which is in the Windows NT® Server 4.0 Option Pack. Connection Manager can be integrated with Connection Point Services for Windows NT. Connection Point Services consists of a phonebook administrator and a phonebook service that can be used to automatically configure, administer and dynamically update connection numbers to a client Connection Manager profile.
The advantages of creating automatic connections by using the CMAK are support for multiple phone numbers per connection profile, and the ability to configure connection actions and auto-applications. This option would be desirable for organizations that have numerous RAS sites that their users need to connect to, or for organizations that need to constantly update a pool of dial-up numbers. A Connection Manager profile can be configured with custom bitmaps and license agreements, auto-applications, connect actions, Help files, user documentation and command-line parameters.
The primary disadvantage of using the CMAK is the added complexity of correctly configuring a Connection Manager Profile. Although static phonebook entries can be used, Microsoft Connection Services are required to administer multiple phone book entries. Connection Manager profiles are different from DUN entries, and will require both users and administrators to learn how to use them. The use of auto-applications and connect actions can be useful to an organization, but can increase the occurrence of tech support calls if they don't work as the user expects, or cause a software conflict (such as having both Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook running at the same time). If, however, an organization is already using both Connection Manager and Connection Point Services, then a CMAK profile can be integrated into an Internet Explorer package with a minimum of administrative overhead. Detailed information on the CMAK can be found in Appendix C, and in the CMAK documentation.
ISPs can specify how users sign up with their service and connect to the Internet. Sign-up is the process of collecting information from the user and then using that information to customize browser and connection options. Sign-up can be handled in four different ways:
The server-based sign-up server using the Internet Connection Wizard (ICW) is the recommended method for signing up users. The ICW acts as a shell, displaying a series of customized active server pages that accept user information, billing data and location information, and then customize a DUN connection for the user. Examples of ICW-based sign-up files are included in the IEAK Toolkit.
The server-based sign-up server using a kiosk mode start page option dials a default (usually toll-free) number, then displays a series of Web pages that collect account and billing information from the user. This information can be integrated into an existing user database by using CGI or ActiveX scripts. Once this information has been collected, the sign-up server returns a customized Internet Setting (.ins) file that configures the browser settings and creates a DUN connection profile automatically. Once sign-up is complete, the browser will be configured with a local dial-up number as well as account and password information for that user. A server-based sign-up page that does not use the ICW must be run in kiosk mode. This is a good option for ISPs that already have a sign-up page that they do not want to change.
The serverless sign-up option configures account and connection information, but doesn't require a sign-up server. If you select the serverless method, the Internet Explorer Customization wizard prompts you to provide the necessary information to control all aspects of the sign-up process. If you choose this option, you'll be prompted for connection information. A separate configuration file will be generated for each set of connection settings, and these configuration files are included locally with the browser installation package. When users start the browser for the first time, they are shown a local HTML sign-up page that prompts them to choose between connection options, and then configures the browser and connection settings.
The serverless sign-up option is appropriate if the ISP has only a few dial-up locations for the user to choose from, and does not want to automate the collection of new customer information by the browser by setting up a sign-up server.
The no sign-up method is used if an ISP doesn't want users to go through a sign-up procedure when they install their custom browser. This option works for ISPs that have a single dial-up location and will be manually providing account and password information to users. An automatic dial-up connection profile can be created by importing connection settings from the IEAK workstation. This is also a good option if the ISP has a sign-up process in place that does not integrate with the IEAK.
Internet Sign-up Using the Internet Connection Wizard
The ICW uses a series of eight .asp pages to collect user information. During the ICW, the user enters account and billing information, chooses an account name and password, and selects billing information. The ICW writes this information to a database, then returns an Internet Settings (.ins) file to the browser. This .ins file configures the browser with configuration information and branding information, and creates a DUN profile configured with a local dialup, account information and a password.
The sign-up process happens in three steps:
The new customer connects to your sign-up server. A file called ICWsign.htm is included in the Internet Explorer package, as well as a connection settings file called signup.isp. The ICWsign.htm file is used to select a local dial-up connection so that the ICW can connect to the server-based sign-up files. The signup.isp file contains the settings for this initial connection. The purpose of using the ICWSign.htm start page is to allow the browser to connect to the sign-up server without having to make a toll call. ICWsign.htm could give the user the choice of local call numbers, or use a single toll-free number.
Once a connection has been made to the sign-up server, the ICW runs eight sign-up HTML files and collects information from the user and adds the customer information to your customer database. The location for these files is specified during the Customization wizard.
Your server creates and passes an .ins configuration file back to the customer's computer. This file includes information about configuration and branding. It also includes a local phone number so the customer can access the ISP.
Note that if the user's Security options are set to High, the sign-up server will not work, because the necessary files will not be downloaded.
Samples of ICWsign.htm and the eight HTML files that are used by the ICW are included in the \ieak\toolkit\ISP\Server\ICW subdirectories. Specific directions on how to customize each page of the ICW are available in the Internet Explorer HTML Help by searching for "Internet Connection Wizard."
Sign-up Files
This wizard page imports the ICWsign.htm file into the Internet Explorer package. ICWsign.htm provides the user with a series of connection options for the initial, temporary connection to the ISP's sign-up server. ICWsign.htm prompts the user to select a connection option, and then uses an .isp file to create the temporary connection. The .isp files can be imported in this page, or they can be created and/or modified by selecting the .isp check box. The .isp connection files also contain a reference to the Signup01.htm file that is to be used by the ICW.
Sign-up Server Information
This page is used to create new .isp connection pages, or to edit pages that were imported in the previous wizard screen. These are temporary connections that are used solely to connect to the sign-up server. Permanent DUN connections are created as .ins files by the ICW based on information gathered during sign-up.
Each .isp file contains a reference to the URL location of the signupX.asp files that the ICW will use to collect user information, set up billing information and configure the browser. Examples of these files are in the \ieak\toolkit\isp\server\icw\asp subdirectory. PERL-based sign-up files are also available. The ICW acts as a shell for these sign-up files.
Information on the configuration and deployment of the ICW signup.asp pages is in the IEAK Help.
The Advanced button can specify advanced connection configuration information, such as DNS, Compression and Encryption settings.
A support phone number can be entered that will be available during the ICW process.
Internet Settings Files
Permanent Settings files can be created and integrated with the ICW. Specific instructions on how to create and reference these files within the ICW signup.asp pages is available in the Internet Explorer HTML Help.
Internet Connection Wizard
Just like the CD Autorun customizations, the ICW can be branded with a custom title bar, top logo and left logo.
Title Bar Text
Enter the text that will appear in the ICW title bar.
Top Image
The Top Image size must be 49 X 49 pixels.
Left Image
The Left Image size must be 164 X 458 pixels.
Internet Sign-up Server Using Kiosk Mode
The server-based sign-up process is a Web browser-based mechanism that automates the task of adding new customers to your customer database. The sign-up process happens in three steps:
The new customer connects to your sign-up server.
An HTML/HTTP-based dialog box collects information from the user and adds the customer information to your customer database.
Your server passes an .ins configuration file back to the customer's computer. This file includes information about configuration and branding. It also includes the local phone number so the customer can access the ISP.
Note that if the user's Security options are set to High, the sign-up server will not work, because the necessary files will not be downloaded.
After the customer has provided you with the information you need, you must return the following information to the customer:
Data for configuring Internet connections
Capabilities of the customer's account (including e-mail and newsreaders)
Branding information
This information must be passed back to the computer in an IEAK profile, or .ins file. The IEAK can create an .ins file for each specified dial-up location during the Customization wizard, and these settings can be edited manually as appropriate. Some settings, such as Entry, User, Phone, Device, Server and TCP/IP, cannot be specified in the wizard, but can be customized by using HTML scripts.
If you want to provide a variety of custom "private branded" versions of Internet Explorer (containing such items as custom logos, title bar, Favorites, Search bar, start page, special links on the Links bar and the location for online assistance) to different customer groups, you should maintain a variety of sets of branding information on the server for downloading in the .ins file. This means that all of the compact discs you send out will be the same, but they will be branded differently when the user signs up. This eliminates the potential for a large inventory problem.
The Server-based sign-up process is an extremely versatile tool that can be customized far beyond the examples included in the \toolkit\isp\server subdirectory. More information on how to customize and deploy an Internet Sign-up Server are included in the IEAK Help file and the \toolkit\isp\server subdirectory.
Custom Sign-up Files
This is the first page in the "Server-based sign-up using kiosk mode" track.
This page imports the Signup.htm file into the Internet Explorer package. Signup.htm is run in kiosk mode the first time that Internet Explorer is started after installation. The Signup.htm file gives the user the option to connect to the ISP and includes a link to the .isp connection file. The connection (.isp) file contains two main sections: all of the connection information necessary to dial the sign-up server, and the URL of the actual sign-up home page. Signup.isp will be created by the next Customization wizard screen.
Signup.htm and Signup.isp are used for a one-time connection to the ISP, and then are used to run a kiosk-mode sign-up page. The kiosk-mode sign-up page is specified toward the beginning of the Customization wizard.
Sign-up Server Information
This page creates the signup.isp file that is referenced by the Signup.htm file specified in the previous page. Signup.isp contains the connection information necessary to dial the sign-up server, a guest username and password, and the URL of the sign-up pages. There are two ways to specify sign-up locations so that users will not have to make a toll call to connect to the sign-up server:
The administrator can create multiple .isp files, and reference each of them in Signup.htm by area code.
The administrator can use a toll-free number for sign-up.
The customer will not permanently use the phone number specified in this screen. The permanent dial-up number will be created in the next Customization wizard screen, and will be passed to the user in a customized .ins file at the end of the sign-up process.
The Advanced Options button allows the administrator to specify advanced dial-up options, such as DNS, Compression and Encryption settings.
Once the temporary connection is established, the .isp file will run the URL specified here. This is the first page of the ISP's HTML-based sign-up process.
Internet Settings File
The Internet Settings files (.ins files) created in this page contain the permanent dial-up connection settings that will be passed to the users. This page creates an .ins file (specified in the file name entry) that contains all of the branding and configuration information from the Customization wizard, as well as the connection information specified here. This .ins file is passed to the browser at the end of the sign-up process and can be configured with user-specific information such as account name, password and connection location.
This page is used to pre-build location-specific customized .ins files for the administrator's convenience. Further user-specific customizations from information in the sign-up pages can be added by CGI or ActiveX scripts. Examples of how to do this are included in the \toolkit\isp\server subdirectory.
Serverless Sign-up
The serverless sign-up process presents a user with several pre-created configurations in an HTML sign-up page that is automatically displayed after package installation. These sets of configurations are stored in a .ins file that is created during the IEAK wizard. Internet Explorer takes the settings in the .ins file and uses them to configure options from the Customization wizard, including browser branding and options, policies and dial-up connection settings. The serverless sign-up process enables ISPs that will not be using a sign-up server to provide customized connection options to customers.
Note: No information from the serverless sign-up process is returned to the ISP. The ISP will need to give the user a dial-up account name and password, as will also have to collect all necessary billing and account information from the customer by other means.
In the serverless version, the configuration file is created by the IEAK before the package is shipped, and it is included in the installation package. Therefore, the configuration file contains no user-specific configuration information. A sign-up HTML file, Signup.htm, is run automatically by the browser in kiosk mode the first time that Internet Explorer is run. The sign-up page gives the user the option to select one or several configuration options. These options are linked to .ins installation files that can configure the installation and create a Dial-Up Networking entry based on that configuration option. The \toolkit\isp\servless subdirectory contains examples of single and multiple installation options that can be customized and then included in the sign-up package.
If you are creating multiple customized versions of Internet Explorer and have many settings that stay the same across several or all versions, you can simplify the process. For more information, see "Creating Multiple Versions of the Browser" in the IEAK Help.
Serverless sign-up runs only in kiosk mode, and works only for CD distributions. Web distributions should use a server-based sign-up page. The kiosk mode start page, signup.htm, must be specified at the beginning of the IEAK Customization wizard.
Serverless Sign-up Files
This imports the Signup.htm file into the Internet Explorer package. Signup.htm is the HTML page that will run in kiosk mode the first time that Internet Explorer is started. Check the c:\program files\ieak\toolkit\isp\servless subdirectory for examples of Signup.htm. Signup.htm will contain one or several links to Internet Settings files (.ins). These .ins files will either be created by the IEAK in the next Customization wizard page, or created in advance and copied to the folder specified here. .Ins files are text files that contain all of the branding information from the Customization wizard, as well as entries for creating a Dial-Up Networking entry. Specific examples on how to customize the Signup.htm and .ins files are at the bottom of the "Serverless Sign-up" section.
The Customization wizard will create a new .ins file for every dial-up connection that the administrator configures. The need for different configuration options based on dial-up location is the most common use of serverless sign-up, but the .ins files can be used to separately configure other installation options as well. For instance, the Signup.htm file could let users choose from different branding options, color options or sets of Favorites.
Sign-Up Server Information
This is the wizard screen that is used to generate the customized .ins files that are linked in the Signup.htm file. These .ins files are created automatically by the IEAK and included with the Internet Explorer package along with any .ins files that were in the Signup.htm path specified in the previous wizard page. The .ins file will configure the Internet Explorer installation, and create a Dial-Up Networking entry with the settings specified here. Multiple .ins files can be created by selecting the Add button.
Serverless Signup.htm Screen Example
This screen is an example of the Signup.htm file that is run automatically in kiosk mode the first time that Internet Explorer is run. This page contains a single button that links to the .ins file created in the IEAK wizard. This screen is a customized example of the demo files included in the \toolkit\isp\servless\oneINS subdirectory. Multiple connection locations can be specified by creating multiple .ins entries in the Customization wizard, and then configuring the example in the \toolkit\isp\servless\multiINS subdirectory to refer to these .ins files.
Serverless Signup.htm Text Example
This screen shows an example of the text references used to customize the Signup.htm file. This example is a customized copy of the example included in the \toolkit\isp\servless\oneINS subdirectory. Note that in the highlighted section the Seattle.ins file created in the IEAK Customization wizard is the referenced as the action for the "Click the button" entry. A user could choose from multiple .ins files, as shown in the \toolkit\isp\servless\multiINS subdirectory.
No Sign-up
The No Sign-up option is a flexible option that can be used under several circumstances. This option can be used if the ISP is using a sign-up method that cannot be integrated with the IEAK Sign-up process, or if no sign-up is to be used.
Appendix C: The Connection Manager Administration Kit
Connection Manager provides a graphical interface so that a user can connect to their service using connection features that the administrator defines. These features are defined using the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), which supports the creation and updating of multiple versions of Connection Manager, each of which the administrator should define to meet the needs of a specific target audience. The CMAK can be used to create a Connection Manager profile on a user's desktop. A Connection Manager profile is similar to, but not the same as, a Dial-up Networking connection. See Appendix B for more discussion on Automatic Connections.
This screen allows the administrator to create a new profile or edit a previously created profile. For the profile to be visible to the CMAK, it must be located in the Profiles subdirectory in the C:\program files\cmak directory.
Each profile has a friendly service name and a profile file name. The files are limited to 40 and 8 characters, respectively.
If an administrator has existing service profiles that already contain information needed in the service, that information can be included by merging those service profiles with the service. .Each time the CMAK wizard is run, administrators must specify whether they want to create a new service profile or edit an existing one. Merging a profile is useful if there is an existing phone book or configuration information to add to a new profile, without editing the old one.
The support information entered here is displayed every time the Connection Manager is run.
Administrators can specify a realm name prefix (such as AcmeISP/) or suffix (such as @acmeisp.com) to be added to the user name that a user enters when connecting to the service. The realm name includes any separator characters, such as @ or /. If the realm is specified, users do not have to type it.
Note: Realm names are typically not used by ISPs.
The administrator can create Dial-up Networking (DUN) entries that match certain phone numbers in the Connection Manager phone book. This is a separate feature from importing or creating DUN connections in the IEAK. To set up custom DUN entries for a particular POP, administrators associate DUN entries set up in the phonebook file (.pbk) with the DUN entries set up in the service profile. Before running the CMAK wizard, administrators must define the entries to set up with custom DUN, and the options to use for each. The following information must be specified for each entry that will be customized:
The name of the phonebook DUN entries to customize. This entry must match the phonebook DUN entries in the phonebook. If a phonebook is not being used, the DUN entries name must be the same as the service name. For example, to create a custom DUN entry for a service profile name ACME ISP that has no phonebook, administrators would specify "ACME ISP" as the Phonebook DUN entry on the worksheet and in the CMAK wizard.
Whether or not to use the server-assigned address or to use specific Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) addresses. To assign specific addresses to the DUN, administrators can specify both primary and secondary DNS and WINS IP addresses.
To use server-assigned addresses, end-point servers running Windows NT Server must be configured to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically assign remote TCP/IP client IP addresses.
The secure connection feature uses Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) with Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC) and Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE). To use secure connections, there must be a PPTP server on the network side.
To set up the service profile to automatically start programs or install software when a user connects to the service, administrators must correctly specify the connect-action programs when running the CMAK wizard. These actions, especially post-connect actions, should not be confused with auto-applications. A separate wizard screen is provided for running applications automatically after connection.
Pre-connect actions run immediately after the user selects connect, but before any connection actually takes place.
Post-connect actions run after establishing the DUN connection. Some post-connect actions, such as automatically updating phonebook entries and using MCIS logon information, have been pre-configured into the post-connect dialog box that follows.
Disconnect actions run immediately after disconnecting.
Pre-connect actions run immediately after the user selects connect, but before any connection actually takes place.
Post-connect actions run after establishing the DUN connection. Some post-connect actions, such as automatically updating phonebook entries and using MCIS logon information, have been pre-configured into the post-connect dialog box.
Disconnect Actions take place after a service has been disconnected.
The Auto-Applications screen is used to run applications automatically when a user connects to the service. Auto-Applications are different from Connect Actions in that when an Auto-Application is closed, so is the connection. Each application can be run with parameters specified during the Add and Edit dialog boxes:
Administrators can include the program in the service profile, but the only program included will be the executable itself. Any additional files needed to run the program will need to be in place on the user's machine for the program to work. If the Include box is not checked, then the Connection Manager will attempt to run the program from the same location as on the IEAK workstation.
This screen allows administrators to use the default logon bitmap or to specify one. The bitmap must be 256 colors, 330 X 131 pixels.
The Phonebook Bitmap is a 114 X 304-pixel bitmap that appears on the left side of the Phone Book dialog box. If no bitmap is specified, then the default bitmap will be used.
In addition to the CMAK, the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Option Pack contains Connection Point Services. Connection Point Services provides support for creating, maintaining and updating Phone Books. Administrators can also create Phone Books, but the complexity of the format and requirements makes this difficult if there is more than a single POP. Search the CMAK Help file for the words "phone book" for detailed instructions on creating and configuring Phone Books, either manually or with Connection Point Services.
The administrator must specify the .ico files to use for the Program, Title bar and Status-area icons.
Note: These files are icon (.ico) files and not bitmap (.bmp) files. If no custom icons are specified, then the default icons will be used.
Administrators can customize the pop-up shortcut menu that users receive when they right-click on the Connection Manager status-area icon. This dialog box allows the administrator to add additional programs to the shortcut menu. Possible uses for this feature could be a virus-checking program, traffic analysis tool or shortcuts to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
The administrator can specify a custom Help file or use the default Connection Manager Help file.
This dialog box allows the administrator to specify whether the Connection Manager software is included in the profile. The Connection Manager software adds about 400K to the size of the profile, for a total of 500K. Including the software is a good idea because it ensures that users have the latest version and are using a consistent version of the Connection Manager software.
The administrator can include a customized license agreement in the connection manager profile. The license agreement must be saved as a text (.txt) file.
The administrator can add to the service profile other files that users should have, such as supporting files for connect actions. When these additional files are specified in the CMAK wizard, the service profile copies the files to the Connection Manager folder. Some advanced customization techniques require administrators to include files in the service profile. When administrators make advanced customization decisions, they should add any files required by those decisions to this list of additional files. For example, all the files required to provide any user documentation or customized error handlers should be included as additional files. For more information on advanced customization techniques, see the CMAK Help file.
Once the package has been generated, it will be automatically added to the Internet Explorer custom package. The package will be saved to c:\program files\cmak\profiles\<profile name>.
Appendix D: Creating a Pilot Program
The following outlines steps ISPs follow to create an abbreviated pilot program. These steps are a subset of the steps that a corporate organization would use to set up a production-level pilot for a line-of-business application deployment.
It makes good practice to prepare a test plan and checklists for lab tests, and then use the checklists to record satisfactory completion of tasks and note all problems with the process. Also, prepare a checklist to test each deployment and distribution strategy.
ISP Lab Deployment Steps:
Prepare custom packages for deployment:
Install and run the IEAK Configuration wizard.
Build custom packages containing the distribution files.
Configure browser automatic configuration (.ins, .js, .pac) files.
Configure download sites and install the distribution files.
Copy distribution files to compact discs and floppy disks.
Deploy custom package to lab clients:
Run Internet Explorer 5 Setup to install the custom package on each client.
Install using each available user install option.
Operate lab client software after custom package is installed:
Test sign-up procedure, if used.
Run Internet Explorer to test all add-ins and features.
Run business applications to check for satisfactory operation.
Restore lab clients to their original state:
Uninstall Internet Explorer 5 and add-ins.
Verify that Internet Explorer components have been removed.
Test the desktop and business applications.
Administrators should prepare a test lab and then test the proposed deployment strategies on lab computers that represent typical client configurations for the ISP. If an ISP has customers with vastly different computing environments or needs, administrators may need to prepare multiple test labs and conduct tests at several different sites.
Appendix E: Internet Explorer 5 Quick CD-ROM Deployment Guide
This guide will produce a package for deployment on CD-ROM. A typical customer installation would go as follows:
The user inserts the CD-ROM into the PC, and the Installation wizard walks the user through the license agreement and other installation options.
A branded and customized Internet Explorer package will be installed on the user's PC. After the Installation wizard is completed, the user is prompted to reboot the PC.
The first time that Internet Explorer is run, a sign-up page will automatically run in kiosk (full-screen) mode.1 This sign-up page will give the user the option to choose a local dial-up connection number. Once this option is chosen, Internet Explorer will configure itself and create a default dial-up networking connection.
Internet Explorer is now installed and configured on the user's PC. The installed code will include:
Internet Explorer and any additional components specified by the administrator.
Outlook Express, pre-configured with necessary e-mail and Usenet settings.
An automated dial-up networking connection, configured as the default for the browser.
Including the sign-up page with the browser code is known as "serverless" sign-up. The IEAK also supports "Internet Signup Server" customization, which allows the ISP to collect account and billing information, integrate this information into an existing customer management system, and then customize Internet Explorer with branding and connection information. More information on deploying an Internet sign-up server can be found in the IEAK Help file, the full IEAK deployment guide, and the sign-up examples included in the IEAK \toolkit subdirectory.
The following checklist can be used to gather the necessary information before using the IEAK 5. An asterisk (*) denotes required information. More information about specific components can be found in the Glossary.
How To Deploy a CD-ROM Distribution Package
The IEAK generates a CD subdirectory in the c:\builds folder. The Windows Explorer view of your generated packages should be similar to this:
Copy everything from within the c:\builds\<build_number>\CD subdirectory onto the root of the master CD. The root of the CD-ROM will contain the Win32 subdirectory, Autorun.inf, and a setup file. All necessary sign-up and configuration files are contained within the installation .cab files.

Outlook Express Customization
Automatic Version Synchronization
Use this screen to synchronize the individual Internet Explorer components to the latest versions. It is recommended that all components be synchronized before continuing the wizard, but this is not required.
Note: Synchronization time will depend on the type of connection available and number of components that are synchronized. Synchronization time for 70 MB of Internet Explorer components over a modem is not included in the 10-minute completion goal for this paper.
CD Autorun Customization
This screen can be used to customize several different CD Autorun items, but the two that are most easily customized are the CD Autorun title bar text and custom background bitmap. These two items are used to identify the ISP before the Installation wizard actually begins.
Title Bar Text
This is the text that goes in the CD Autorun title bar.
Custom Background Bitmap Location
You can provide a bitmap that appears behind the text. Make sure the background color doesn't conflict with the text color. This bitmap must be 540 X 347 pixels.
More CD Options
This screen allows you to specify a "more information" text file, as well as the kiosk mode sign-up page that is seen when Internet Explorer first runs. The path to the serverless sign-up page, signup.htm, is specified in here.
Customize Setup
Add the Setup wizard title bar text that was collected in the IEAK Checklist.
Installation Type
These installation types will be available to the user when installing Internet Explorer. Remove undesired options by selecting the option, then the Delete key. Some organizations may wish their customers to have the ability to choose an installation type; others may wish to only support a specific set of features. The ability of the user to add or remove components from an installation type is determined later in the Customization wizard.
Browser Title
Check the Customize Title Bars button, and add your company name. The browser title bar will read "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Your ISP" in this example.
Important URLs
The two items that can be most easily customized in this page are the Home Page and Support page URL. These items were collected in the Checklist and should be entered here.
Note: The IEAK does not check the validity of these sites. Double-check the entries to make sure that they are typed correctly.
Favorites and Links
There are two ways to pre-populate a set of Favorites in Internet Explorer. The first is to select the Add URL button and manually enter a name and address for each Favorite. An easier and more reliable way is to edit the Internet Explorer Favorites on the IEAK workstation, and then import these Favorites by selecting the Import button.
Sign-up Method
Select serverless sign-up as the sign-up method. Serverless sign-up will include an HTML page, signup.htm, in the browser package. Signup.htm will give the user a choice of dial-up locations. Once the user selects a local dial-up, signup.htm will return an Internet Settings (.ins) file to the browser that will configure the browser and create a dial-up networking connection.
You can also select the No sign-up option at this point. Selecting No sign-up will configure the browser with the settings specified during the customization wizard. This option would be appropriate for an organization that already has a sign-up procedure in place, or one that is providing a browser to clients with pre-existing Internet connections.
An example of the Signup.htm file is included in the \ieak\toolkit\isp\servless subdirectory, and should be customized before proceeding past this point. Complete instructions on how to customize signup.htm are included in Appendix B, "Automatic Connections" and "Sign-up."
Serverless Sign-up Files
This screen imports the Signup.HTM file into the Internet Explorer package. Signup.htm is the HTML page that will run in kiosk mode the first time that Internet Explorer is started. Check the c:\program files\toolkit\isp\servless subdirectory for examples of Signup.htm. Signup.htm will contain one or several links to Internet Settings files (.ins). These .ins files will be created by the IEAK in the next Customization wizard page. .Ins files are text files that contain all of the branding information from the Customization wizard, as well as entries for creating a Dial-Up Networking entry. Specific examples on how to customize the Signup.htm and .ins files are in Appendix B, "Automatic Connections" and "Sign-up."
Sign-up Server Information
This is the wizard screen that is used to generate the customized .ins files that are linked to in the Signup.htm file. These .ins files are created automatically by the IEAK and included with the Internet Explorer package along with any .ins files that were in the Signup.htm path specified in the previous wizard page. The .ins file will configure the Internet Explorer installation, and create a Dial-Up Networking entry with the settings specified here. Selecting the Add button can create additional .ins files. Users use the signup.htm page to choose between these multiple .ins files.
The Advanced Options page allows the administrator to specify advanced connection settings, such as DNS, Compression and Encryption settings.
Outlook Express Accounts
Enter the DNS names for the mail and news servers in this page. These entries will configure Outlook Express for the user.
Wizard Complete
Congratulations! You have completed the IEAK Customization wizard. The Customization wizard will now generate all of the code necessary for a CD-ROM-based installation, using the files and settings that you have specified. Before deploying this installation to your customers, it should be tested on a few typical client machines to ensure that sign-up works correctly, and all of the files and logos are correctly formatted.
1 The user will need to provide account and password information to the dial-up networking profile.

Hello all,
I haven't been here in forever, and had someone help me with this before. I even had a file to upload to help me with this before, but I can't find it at all. What I'm doing is this, redirecting all the
/id/%post_id% to the new links of
/%category%/%postname%/ so when visitors from search engines, social sites and such, won't get a 404 error when going to the new permalink structure. I tried some redirect permalink plugins, but they weren't working. I think http://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/ helped me before, made a custom script to upload to redirect it all right. But I can't find it now. :( What can I do guys, I haven't done this permalink stuff in forever... sigh. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Colletti intent on restoring Dodgers' glory
Originally Published: December 7, 2005By Jayson Stark | ESPN.com
DALLAS -- Once there was a time when you never had to ask, "Who's the manager of the Dodgers?" Not on Dec. 6. Not on July 6. Not on any month of any day of any year.
But of course, that was your grandfather's Dodgers. And your father's Dodgers. The Dodgers who made one -- count 'em, one -- managerial change in 42 years, from 1952 (dawn of the Walter Alston era) to 1996 (end of the Tommy Lasorda era).
Those Dodgers, however, aren't these Dodgers -- the Dodgers who Tuesday named Grady ...

JL marine, small size...big sound
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Decided to go with the American made JL 700/5 amp for my 2012 Crownline 18ss. Powering a 12" JL W3v3 4ohm sub, and 4 JL 6 1/2" MX marine speakers. Outstanding sound at high or low volume, no problems with heat/overheat, even after running all day in the hot sun!!!
Pros: Small size for tight spaces common on boats (especially 18' length)
Cons: None...I'm so impressed I wish I had a bigger boat to add another setup!!! Maybe next boat!

Feds Tell Ga: Pay Summer Unemployment
A federal agency's decision might lead to thousands of Georgia bus drivers, cafeteria workers and private school teachers getting summer unemployment benefits after the state denied them the money. State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler had instituted a benefits change earlier this year, saying it was unfair to pay the seasonal benefits when public school system employees don't get them.

School Workers Face Summer Cuts
Some public school workers employed by private companies say, they got a nasty surprise a few weeks ago. State labor officials last year proposed eliminating a policy that allowed such workers to collect jobless benefits over the summer. The workers say, they didn't find out about the change until recently. Union officials say, the workers now face months without income.

Officials say they usually try to start putting up decorations the Monday before Thanksgiving.

Oakley Seeks to Beat Groupon With 'Ticketmaster With Reviews'
Oakley Capital Investments Ltd. founder Peter Dubens wants to turn events publisher Time Out into a "Ticketmaster with reviews," selling tickets and bookings for hotels, restaurants and travel worldwide.
The plan will pit Time Out, which publishes weekly cultural and entertainment guides in 35 cities, against companies such as Groupon Inc., the top online-coupon provider, and Yelp Inc., a local-business reviews website. Time Out's reviews expertise will entice readers to buy products and services, Dubens, 44, said in an interview at Oakley's London office this month.
"It's a very special brand that's inbred in our psyche here in London, and it's been in New York since 1996," he said. "Unlike a Groupon or a deal business, which is basically just shifting out deals to millions of people, Time Out is writing about what's relevant and cultural in London. Oakley is helping give them the ability to offer those people reading the reviews the ability to stay on the site and book the ticket."
Oakley agreed to buy a majority stake in Time Out New York this year to complete its investment in Time Out London, and help the listings publisher expand online. The daily discounts market could be a $3.9 billion business by 2015, up from $873 million last year, according to researcher BIA/Kelsey.
Time Out already provides online daily deals in cities including London and is looking to add websites for other cities. The company has the potential to become "much, much bigger," Dubens said.
Groupon, which is preparing for a $750 million initial public offering, pioneered the online daily deal business in 2009. Since then, a "substantial number" of competitors have joined the field, according to a filing linked to its IPO. Facebook Inc., Google Inc. and LivingSocial are among its major domestic rivals, according to the filing.
Julie Mossler, a spokesman for Chicago-based Groupon, said the company offers merchants everything from web seminars to case studies to return-on-investment calculators.
"There's room for more than one site in this space, but this is what makes us unique," she said.
Groupon turned down a $6 billion takeover from Google last year. LivingSocial, the second-largest website devoted to daily coupons, is selecting investment banks for a $1 billion IPO, a person with knowledge of the situation said last month. Yelp, which sells ads next to reader reviews, is exploring an initial public offering.
Time Out's strong brand may not be enough to convert readers into customers, said Dan Cryan, senior broadband analyst in the London office of IHS Screen Digest. Amazon.com Inc.'s skills with CDs and DVDs haven't helped it make much headway against Apple Inc.'s iTunes selling digital music, he said.
"This is far easier said than done," he said.
Brand Expansion
Time Out is expanding from 35 cities to 50, adding places such as Berlin, Los Angeles and Miami, and it's beefing up mobile-phone applications that will offer discounts in specific areas of the cities, Dubens said.
Beyond Time Out, Oakley is interested in acquiring European or U.S. companies that sell products or services or supply advice to consumers over the Internet, Dubens said. The price target is up to 60 million euros ($85.3 million), he said.
Dubens said Oakley hopes to close a deal by September for a European online classified company that operates in 28 countries. He wouldn't give a price estimate.
Dubens said he doesn't think there's an Internet bubble, but prices are high enough to make acquisitions expensive.
The private-equity firm now has to get in earlier, or find industries in transition, said Dubens, who helped found 365 Media Group Plc, an online gambling and information company sold to British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc in 2007 for 102 million pounds ($167 million).
"When people ask me what we do, I say we look for wrinkles, things that are slightly quirky, or slightly more difficult, where we need to roll up our sleeves and help," he said.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Health Care Agents: Appointing One and Being One
In this article
What if I know that members of my family disagree with my wishes?
To ensure that your wishes are followed, be certain that the person you appoint to be your agent understands your wishes and will abide by them. Your agent has the legal right to make decisions for you even if close family members disagree. However, should close family members express strong disagreement, your agent and your health care professional may find it extremely difficult to carry out the decisions you would want.
- If you foresee that your agent may encounter serious resistance, the following steps can help: communicate with family members you anticipate may object to your decisions. Tell them in writing whom you have appointed to be your health care agent and explain why you have done so.
- Let them know that you do not wish for them to be involved with decisions about your medical care and give a copy of these communications to your agent as well.
- Give your primary care physician, if you have one, copies of written communications you have made.
- Prepare a specific, written living will.
- Make it clear in your documents that you want your agent to resolve any uncertainties that could arise when interpreting the living will. A way to say this is: "My agent should make any decisions about how to interpret or when to apply my living will."
Appointing someone you trust to be your health care agent is an important step toward assuring that if you are not able to make decisions for yourself, your preferences for medical treatment will be carried out at the end of your life. You should complete the document appointing your agent carefully and follow the witnessing requirements in your state.
Take time to talk openly with your agent so that he or she is fully aware of your values and your wishes about end-of-life care. Also, take time to talk with other loved ones and health care professionals, so they understand your wishes and reasoning. Many people will consider being asked to serve as a health care agent an honor as well as a responsibility. You can return your agent's gift to you by providing her or him with as much preparation as you can.

Please outline your methods. There are no limitations like programming language, gateway provider, library, CMS, or whatever. I am looking for ways to implement payments.

State the pros and cons of you method. Please help me and provide an overview on this topic.

Northeast Park Minneapolis Real Estate
Located on the outskirts of the city of Minneapolis, Northeast Park is bound in the North East by the city limits and is named simply for its location. The neighborhood is divided into three distinct sections: the Western residential section, a central large shopping center known as The Quarry, and the Eastern section which contains the Hillside Cemetery and a large manufacturing plant.
Northeast Park is also home to the Jim Lupient Water Park, so there is plenty of opportunity to cool off for people of all ages in the warm summer months.
Northeast Park homes are typically single-family residences and just over one thousand people live here. Around two thirds of these homes were built before 1940, and of these, a large proportion were built around the turn of the century. The Quarry acts as a buffer between the residential and industrial sections of the neighborhood, which gives Northeast Park a quieter atmosphere than other neighborhoods close to industrial sections of the city.

Visit the abandoned immigrant hospital on Ellis Island. During the great wave of immigration, 22 medical buildings sprawled across two islands adjacent to Ellis Island, the largest port of entry to the United States. Massive and modern, the hospital was America's first line of defense against contagious, often virulent, disease. In the era before antibiotics, tens of thousands of immigrant patients were separated from family, detained in the hospital and healed from illness before becoming citizens. This is a powerful reminder of the best -- and worst -- of America's dealings with its new citizens-to-be. Elliott Gould narrates.

I thought the term "feeding" was passe. (Feeding sounds like the homeless are babies or something.) Can we call it outdoor serving instead?
(Yes, I'm missing the point of the post; carry on.)
I love my downtown condo and could do with less homeless. After two years in Seattle (Baltimore transplant) I share the frustration with this town needing to get bigger and more dense. Build more tall buildings and people like me will move here to patronize the restaurants and clubs. Homeless and jobless people are losers, let them move to Tacoma.
@ Jimbo, well calling them losers is better than what Slog readers are wishing on Tony Snow right now.
But you know what Jimbo, I hope you get panhandled tonight. A LOT!!! And I hope you get to see a homeless child beg you for money, cause that is the kind of prick you are.
Go fuck yourself - preferably in Baltimore (where they presumably welcome yuppie assholes like yourself).
Some Seattle hostility? Growing into a big, dense, real city is not for everyone. But a big part of density is allowing a diversity of views. Seattle is too provincial. I'm proud to be part of the new wave of money and talent opening up this city to fresh ideas.
One thing I can predict - more homeless people will move to Fremont, Ballard, and Wallingford as the Downtowners crack down on them - pushing them to the more residential neighborhoods.
Way to go, Greg!
(not that anyone asked me)
I've been thinking a lot about this kind of thing lately. Endemic homelessness is something that's sort of evolved in Seattle during my lifetime. My dad and I were homeless when we moved here from Oregon when I was 7 (1979), but it was a very different kind of homelessness than what I see on the streets every day these days. We lived in our car, camped in the woods, and my dad worked low-paying jobs until he had enough money to get us a place. When he died when I was 17 I spent some time between places, dumping my stuff in peoples' basements and couch surfing, working dishwashing jobs until I had enough money to move into a group house or something.
Then of course in the '80s Reagan kicked all the crazy people out onto the streets, and that created a class of people who were homeless but who were, pretty much by definition, too fucked-up to do the kind of bootstrap thing me and my dad had done. Those people are still all over the place, and I definitely think it would be not only more humane but also more cost-effective to have residential low-ratio mental health facilities that help people like that.
But this whole scene with people who consider homelessness some kind of lifestyle choice is something that started in the '90s and, frankly, I just have no patience for it. Gutter punks with their dogs and their attitude and their signs that say "Change for Beer" basically place small businesses in public places at a disadvantage against shopping malls and mega-chains. You know how everyone in Seattle is always bitching about how small local businesses get pushed out by national mega-chains like Urban Outfitters, the Gap and Starbucks? Gutterpunk panhandlers are part of the reason that shit happens. It doesn't have anything to do with a "war on the poor." That's just a lot of hype to obscure the reality that there really are people in the world how don't deserve our sympathy or our help -- and, contrary to what Stranger readers like to believe, they're not all rich white men.
So, you don't want them either, Will?
It'll be sort of like New York, but without the people.
Well, thank God for that. Who wants a bunch of asshole New Yorkers here? As if Californians aren't bad enough.
Feeding is definitely a poor word choice. Let's please find a term that doesn't evoke livestock.
There is a lot of talk of "street feces" but is anyone checking to see if it's human feces? I realize the question itself is funny at least, but I'm sorry I see mountains of shit on the street and I strongly suspect it's from the vast variety of mutt and couture dogs with lazy owners who don't pick up after them.
My bets is all that "street feces" is from the condo owners who are too important to pick up after their dogs. Let's see some real ticketing on those guys (great revenue for the city;)) before we start pushing around the poor.
Jimbo: I can respect the money and the talent, but leave the arrogant, condescending yuppie attitude back east, please. Or take it to Bellevue.
Have to agree with Jimbo. It is not the people in the ghetto, it is the ghetto in the people. Sorry but homeless people are not always cute and fuzzy. John Couey, the homeless guy who murdered Jessica Lunsford by burying her alive clinging a stuffed dolphin
You can take your "money and talent" and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
Welcome Jimbo - I have no doubt you will help Seattle become more like Baltimore!
What is Seattle's problem? It's the Chicago transplants and others from back East that make this town. Get a real job and get over yourselves. Seattle is the only place in the country with real estate prices going up forever. That proves something.
I'm not certain that homelessness as a lifestyle choice suddenly cropped up in the '90s, maybe here but not elsewhere. In San Francisco, for example, that attitude took hold in the '60s and '70s. It was only in the '90s when the city started to crack down on it.
Anyway, truly mentally ill or addicted individuals aside, there will always be people who can't deal with real life. It's just that most of them wind up living in their parents' basements.
I think we should do more to help people suffering from mental illness and drug addiction. If had affective treatment for those we could eliminate a huge percentage of the homeless population. Unfortunately I think that means involuntary confinement. A schizophrenic refusing treatment is not exercising their rights, there suffering from a disease. Lets fight the problem instead of the symptoms.
But, I have no desire to support the beer and pot habit of some listless 20 year old who wants to fight the man by harassing people on the Ave. Being lazy is not a political statement.
Real Change "vendors" are nothing more than glorified panhandlers. I am sick and tired of being harassed by the "vendor" who is on the corner outside of my place of work all day, every day. Why would I want to purchase a paper whose writers and readers desire to vilify me for working hard, earning a living (that doesn't involve harassing people), and living in a nice building in downtown?
"What is Seattle's Problem?"
--ohh I'm sure you'll tell us, what with all that talent and money you have, what Seattle's really problem is.
"It's the Chicago transplants and others from back East that make this town."
--o.k. if you say so.
"Get a real job and get over yourselves."--
---thanks for that advice, but ummm no, not if it means becoming like you.
"Seattle is the only place in the country with real estate prices going up forever."
---and thats good for the people who live here and don't want your self important lifestyle, how?
"That proves something."
---sure it does, that there are always those that want to come into an area and muck up a good thing, if there is money to be made.
There are no homeless in Baltimore?
Jimbo has proved conclusively that money and talent can't buy class.
I'm positive that Jimbo is speaking in troll and that he is somebody who actually agrees with most of the people in this thread.
I agree with the Reagan-era comments. Mentally ill people shouldn't be allowed to just fend for themselves on the streets. That's inhumane and dangerous to the public.
@17: But, I have no desire to support the beer and pot habit of some listless 20 year old who wants to fight the man by harassing people on the Ave. Being lazy is not a political statement.
A-fucking-men! You have enough money to get a new tattoo but not enough money to feed your dog on a rope? It's called prioritizing, people. Lay off the ink and feed your pet.
seattle won't begin to get it's act together over thissue or any other issue until city council members are elected by district - until each elected officiial has a group of people they HAVE to answer to. no more of this everybody at large foolishness.
Greg Nickels is building a city for people who don't live here - they may not even exist. He's content to just lie on his back and let developers rub his tummy, so long as that gravy train keeps a-rollin' and they keep filling up his dish. He's betrayed you, Seattle.
Hey Flea - Ummm... those condos that are priced outrageously... are selling. That means there are buyers, real buyers that actually exist oustide of the ethereal plane, buying. Freaky, no? And please explain the "gravy train" that Nickels receives on behalf of Big Labor... er, I meant to say developers.
"seattle won't...get it's act together...until city council members are elected by district - until each elected official has...people they HAVE to answer to."
What he said.
Districts wouldn't do a damn thing. Panhandling would still get ignored, districts or not.
I must admit, I went to Seattle and was sort of homeless there for a couple of weeks. I slept on the streets or rather mostly wandered around them for awhile until I found a youth hostile to crash at. I was wondering what all of those honeybuckets were for. I just used other public toilets. I don't think I actually begged for any money. I did give someone $20 once. But I hadn't yet run out of money. I was there, because I sort of fell off my medication. I was on the wrong stuff and then I quit taking everything, so yah, I was completely psychotic. Sometimes happens when you have schizophrenia. Aside from pretty much being invisible while I was "homeless" it wasn't a horrible experience, but I was mostly lucky that I didn't get killed or raped or mugged or something. It was one of the weirdest experiences of my life...being up there and wandering around. Not rushing to go anywhere, just sitting around in places or wandering around. So, yah, I guess I should say that not everyone who is homeless panhandles or shits in the street. Is that my point? I have no idea. I just don't think that being homeless should make you a criminal and panhandling shouldn't be a crime. Aren't the jails full already? Or giving fines to homeless people? That makes a lot of sense. They already don't have money, so now the city wants money from them? Seriously. The city should work to have more programs to take care of the homeless instead of finding ways to fine them. Anyway, thanks Seattle, you were a great place to be while crazy and homeless...well, for the most part. And @16: yes, I live in my parents' garage, but that doesn't mean I can't deal with real life. I like living in my parents' garage. In fact, I get nice perks, like my mom just made me a smoothie. I have to go get it. Bye!
People, people. Jimbo is the new name for an old troll who used to post exactly the same rants under the name "Condo Owner." I have no idea if he's a condo owner or not (and, hmm, he resurfaced at the same time that Issur, formerly used to post under a name I can't recall, has, supporting my theory that they're the same individual - and probably the same person as Charles Mudede nemesis "Student" aka "Ignorant Gay Cracker") but he writes this stuff to get exactly what you're giving.
Duly Noted.
No more troll-y snacks from me.
Thanks Matt.
@32: haha...troll-y snacks...very funny.

Fans of the�Wolfenstein franchise have been waiting for a new trailer for some time. �If you are not a video game junkie�Wolfenstein has a long and rich history as a franchise, starting with 1981s Castle Wolfenstein.
Jump forward a bit more than a decade later and we have�Wolfenstein 3D, which was an early first person shooter and a great game. �Wolfenstein 3D contained a lot of the elements that make up a modern game, key cards, secret areas, swappable weapons,boss fights and as a bonus, robo Hitler.
Since then there have been several entries in the series of varying success. �Unfortunately 2009s�Wolfenstein was kind of a boring mess with low sales and there was some danger that the franchise would be gone forever.
Fast forward to this week where we have a new trailer that highlights the first three chapters of the game. �The New Order takes place in an alternate 1960s where the Nazis have won World War II and all of history has changed. �The protagonist of most of the Wolfenstein games�William "B.J." Blazkowicz�awakes to find a world that has gone wrong. �(read that last sentence in a movie announcer voice)
You can see the trailer at the link below. �The trailer is a fairly hard R for violence, otherwise I would be embedding it in this post. �The New Order will be released in North America on May 20th and as a bonus pre-orders will include a beta code for the upcoming Doom, which should also be interesting.

Rick Haasl's claim to fame so far might be that he was the last head football coach at Panhandle State University to produce a winning record.
West Texas A&M University's new defensive coordinator accomplished that in 1994, his first season at the school.
Haasl remained two more seasons at OPSU, finishing both with a losing record, before spending two seasons each at East Central and Southeastern Oklahoma.
The 38-year-old native of Dalhart joined first-year WT head coach Ronnie Jones' staff last December.
Since then, he's been involved in a rigorous off-season conditioning program, as well as getting to know returning players.
He hopes his next claim to fame is as the coordinator of a championship-caliber defensive unit. But for now, first things first.
The Buffs began spring training Monday and will continue through April 27 when it will conclude with a 3 p.m. game at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium. Spring training consists of 15 practices, and nine of those will be all-out tackling sessions.
The Buffs' defense will take on a new look under the new coaching regime - the famed 46 alignment made famous in the National Football League by Buddy Ryan.
Haasl says an attitude adjustment is the main ingredient.
"We want the WT defense to be known for its aggressive, tough approach," he said. "That is an attitude we hope to instill this spring."
Hassl's goal, like that of most of WT's new coaches, is a simple one and three-part in nature.
"First, we want to learn the players - what they can and can't do," he said. "Next, we want to teach fundamentals, and finally we'll continue to work hard on conditioning."
Despite last season's record, the Buffs' defense is not without some quality performers.
"Chaun Thompson (linebacker) might well be one of the best players in the Lone Star Conference," Haasl says. "Heck, he might be one of the best players in Division II or anywhere for that matter. He's a gifted player with a tremendous work ethic.
"But, he's not the only quality returning player.
"Charlie Langston (end) has gotten bigger, strong and faster in off-season workouts, and we're expecting big things from him.
"We've moved Michael Evans (a returning starter in the defensive front) inside to a tackle spot, and I think he can be a quality player. We also have Ricky Cash returning as a starter from last season, and he can play as well.
"With Chaun leading the way, I think linebacker is our strongest defensive position," Haasl said. "Adam St. Clair, Adam Shaw and Kent Riker return to give us some quality players.
"Going into spring practice, the secondary is the biggest question mark. We're looking for some serious answers in that area. It's going to be a key objective."
Returning players in the secondary include Randy Bowers, Joey Gipson, DeShawn Morgan and Canyon native Anthony May.
Haasl has enjoyed a return to his roots. Coaching at WT was something he often thought about, but never anticipated would happen.
"I always wanted to play at WT," he said. "But I wasn't good enough. Coaching here is kind of a dream come true for me. It's something I always wanted to do, but didn't think would happen.
"For me, returning to this area is kind of special. I think we can do some good things in the future."

Great photo! You let me make a drawing based on this photo?
Is it ok if i draw this and then send it to you ?
On my first quick glimpse, I thought it was Eva Longoria.
Now, I know Eva Longoria would make a good-looking Wonder Woman.
is beautiful .love:
The kidnap with a handkerchief with chloroform
The kidnap with a handkerchief with chloroform
wow you're so sexy lady!!! ;D
Never really used Live models for my personal artwork. Did you hire your model or does she just model as a love for the art?
you must have had sex with her ... not? should!
It's just this pic or you look exactly like Shakira?
dude, you're living the dream. these models of yours are always gorgeous and then they find their way into your fantastic art. i have to look away anytime i see an update from you on here. keep on.
thanks! Pretty girls tend to help the creative process, especially when painting pretty girls, ha
Nicely done~
great image and what a stunning model
well done costume!
so do you purposefully surround yourself with beautiful women or are you just a magnet? lol
I totally love this.
Wow thats awesome
You have all the fun!
This brightened up my day.

I have a 3 node SQL always on cluster running , is it possible to move a node to different network(subnet) without evicting & creating the node again.
What exactly network do you want to change? Heartbeat? Management? Also for sure you will have downtime. You can do it with this scenario:
Anyway because it's an SQL Cluster and above i gave you guidelines that i have done in Hyper-V clusters i don't know if they have the same process about, and if everything works well. Don't forget that you will have definitely downtime.

There are a lot of accurate comments on this post. I agree with Lynn that the term "social media power influencers" should probably say "Twitter power influencers."
I would think that Brian Solis and most definitely Brian Clark would be on here. I mean, Copyblogger is a no-brainer for me.
Then again, there are a few people on this list that I haven't heard of before and perhaps they are most deserving.
Jun 24 Posted 3 years ago
That is good marketing math.
It has to be about the fun as social is a fun event.
Jun 24 Posted 3 years ago
Yes. I find that the list is mostly another oporrtunity to network.
When someone tweets congrats, I usually answer with "thank you for making it possible" because I know influence is only what friends do for me :)
Sound trite, I know.. and some might wonder if I am just pretending to cover my ego. No way. My ego is big and I'm proud of it. :)
It's my ego that tells me that I don't want to try to be on a list, or should belittle any list that picks me. Took me many years to learn that it's okay to have help, and that more help comes when you recognize the equation of "do unto others..." is good marketing math
And a lot more fun.
Jun 24 Posted 3 years ago
Very true Warren! We're all influencial in someway and a list does not make you influential. It's the connections you make and the things you do and not just say, that can lead the path to influence online. It's that human connection with two or more people, whether it be online or in real life that makes the difference. The list encourages people to do more and hopefully more of the correct things. Thanks Warren for commenting here and on my own blog too. By you making that connection and the effort to head over to my own blog which originates this infographic has gave you influence from me and these types of steps is what we need to teach people, that human connection you made through online methods.

I usually take the Groucho Marx approach to exclusive lists, but this one was hard to ignore.
There are lmits on the accuracy for sure. I was pleased to see that Peek does shoot for real engagment, not follower counts or celebrity outside of social media.
Hard to imagine anyone actively talking to social media experts not using Twitter. It's not always the best tool, but a great match for social media topics.
At the end of the day, connections with real people make the diffrentce, not a tool or ranking.. real connections are human, no matter what medium

I'm always disappointed when large media outlets turn a blind eye to everything but Twitter. The report should read "Forbes Top 50 Twitter Influencers 2013"
May 1 Posted 3 years ago
Hi Sam,
You may not have noticed my reply as I never clicked the reply button on your post.
I know if I never got an email saying I had a reply, I may not check back.
May 1 Posted 3 years ago
Hi Sam,
First of all I would like to say, I love your community on Google+ with Danny Brown, great insights into influence marketing and I'm on your side. I've pre-ordered the book too.
I believe influence can't be monitored by a score and I for one, don't want to be associated with a number either.
What I can say, is the infographic was fun to do, my first one and I have learned a lot from doing it.
To be monitored by just twitter influence and blogger outreach is no way an acurate influence score online as I would say I have more influence on other channels than twitter and even my blog for instance but when this report was made it clearly stated how the score was made.
You have a great insight into this, but what it does for others is it encourages them to do more or do better, so for that I'm happy to sift through the lists to see if I can find any encouragement and seek out better ways.
Thanks Sam, can't wait for the book to land in my letterbox.

Steven just for the record "Forbes released their Top 50 Social Media Power Influencers of 2013 on the 17th of April." Was not Forbes who released the list, this is not Forbes list. List was published on Fobers Blog and was created by contrubotor who happanes to be blogger at Forbes. Just as a side note!
Apr 30 Posted 3 years ago
This study has highlighted some truly brilliant and engaged people in the social media world. I won't question who is - or isn't - on the list as you request in your opening. I engage with many of them and am thankful for their time and insights.
However, I must call out that fact that this report is based on a "social analytics" tool, that identifies experts in "social media" but only measures "Twitter engagement." The infographic states "Social media is a very democratizing form of communications" but then limits engagement to Twitter. Do you see the problem with this?
This is clearly a blogger outreach/marketing tactic employed by the software firm - and good for them. It worked.It got you (and others) to post this infographic. However, not sure it has a place on a blog that seeks to educate people on what social media is about and what value it has. At least not without a deep dive into the analtyics and methodologies that spawned the listing.
Such an analysis would have been much more valuable to your audience than this thinly veiled PR campaign. Why is Twitter chosen over other networks? Is there more power for brands who have influence on Twitter vs. other networks? Or is this a limitation of the analytics software? What are the pros and cons of how Peek Analytics conducts their research?
That information would be worth reading.

Alright, I do not actually believe that not getting an animal on the ground means that it was a failure of a hunt. I am simply admitting that I did not even draw back on an antelope. However, it was still alot of fun running around with my dad and brother trying to get within my bow range for a shot.
I got within ~40 yards of the largest buck I have ever seen in season in my area, unfortunately, I need to get to within 30 yards for me to take an ethical shot. We got that close using the terrain and belly-crawling, but we came just short of closing the deal. My brother carried the buck decoy around for me, and walking behind it, we were able to get within ~60 yards of a buck on atleast two different occaisions. For the most part, the antelope seemed to largely ignore us behind the decoy.
We did not see much rut activity yet. We saw one or two bucks rounding up some does, but not much real interest there. It was interesting how actively bucks were avoiding each other. Whenever a new buck would enter an area, either the current buck we were watching or the buck that just showed up would leave almost immediately after they caught sight of each other. Seeing that response made us wish we had a doe decoy instead of a young buck decoy.
I hope I can make it out there atleast one more time before the end of archery season. Sorry I did not take any pictures. I have a bit of a one-track mind. In the mean time, I will continue to be taunted by the memories of that big buck bedded down just out of range.
