Today's senior living communities are a far cry from those of a half-century ago, says Jill Hreben, president and CEO of Otterbein Homes, a nonprofit organization with nine communities throughout the state. Which means, she adds, that as baby boomers plan their next move, they'll discover choices more wide-ranging than ever before.
"At the moment," Hreben says, "we are serving the parents of boomers. So we're already hearing their thoughts on retirement living."
One thing is clear: As they have throughout their lives, baby boomers march to their own drum.
"Through the years, boomers have never been satisfied with anything their parents have been satisfied with," explains Hreben. "So we should expect nothing more than profound change."
That's especially apparent in today's stereotypical nursing home. No longer an institution of two-person rooms resembling a hospital setting, they are now vibrant centers of activity committed to ensuring an engaging quality of life. Private bedrooms and bathrooms are becoming standard amenities.Communal living and dining areas offer opportunities to socialize with other residents in a homelike atmosphere.
Due to the sheer number of people being served, nursing homes have always adhered to rigid activity and dining schedules. But, says Hreben, that's not the norm anymore. "The rhythm of life is beginning to revolve around residents rather than a timetable."
The concept of assisted living is also undergoing modification, says Jean Thompson, executive director of the Ohio Assisted Living Association, a membership organization comprising 325 communities.
Assisted-living programs, says Thompson, are being tailor-made for residents according to their specific needs.
"Unlike previous decades, people who require these services are no longer mainstreamed," she explains. "For example, special accommodations are being made for those with cognitive impairment. Concentrated programs are being developed to help people retain as much memory as possible in intimate settings that are not overwhelming."
Since there are more living options today than ever before, Elinor Ginzler, director of livable communities for AARP, says it's crucial to formulate a plan that will meet your needs.
"There's a little bit of crystal-ball thinking involved because no one knows what the future will bring," Ginzler says. But, she adds, health history –– yours as well as that of close family members –– is a good indicator of what might be around the bend for you –– or the loved one you are caring for.
Questions to consider include: How long did my parents live? What kinds of conditions did they experience as they aged? Do certain chronic conditions run in my family?
"It's also important," Ginzler says, "to think about whether or not there's going to come a time when you'll need assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing and meal preparation. The answer to that question is going to determine what kind of housing option you choose."
Planning for the Future
In order to find the ideal community for your needs, Ginzler says, it's important to understand the array of housing choices available and what they offer. Here's a sampling:
Age-Restricted Communities:
Also known as "active-adult," these communities cater to people age 55 and over. Usually, they offer a variety of options –– ranging from single-family homes to townhomes and apartments –– often connected by sidewalks or walking trails. Since the emphasis is on "active," there's usually a host of amenities, such as a clubhouse with exercise equipment, a tennis court and/or golf course.
Senior Apartments:
Typically created for residents age 55 and over, the apartments are designed to be accessible, and often include transportation services. Many offer opportunities for recreation and socialization.
A type of neighborhood in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of the community, this housing option offers opportunity for multigenerational interaction and social connection. Residents usually own their own homes and do not pool their income, but they often share the cost of health aides or an on-site health-care provider.
Continuing-Care Retirement Communities:
These facilities feature independent-living apartments and homes, and offer a variety of recreational, cultural and social opportunities. But they also have assisted-living and nursing-level care. In this "continuum-of-care" system, residents usually enter the community at the independent-living level and move to the appropriate level of care as their health needs change.
Assisted Living:
Providing personal care and support services with daily activities, these communities help people stay as independent as possible. Most assisted-living residences offer apartment-style accommodations. There are also personal-care group homes, which are licensed single-family dwellings. They are designed to offer meals, housekeeping, transportation and some level of security.
Nursing homes:
These facilities provide skilled nursing care for older adults who need it. Nursing homes have doctors on staff, as well as nursing assistants who provide most of the assistance with activities of daily living. Usually, nurses direct medical monitoring and intervention. Speech, Occupational and physical therapists also work with residents to keep them as strong as possible.
"No matter which option you choose," says Ginzler, "it's important to think of it as an extension of the life you or your loved one has been living.
"The goal," she adds, "is to be content and comfortable while aging gracefully."
Here are a few tips to ensure you'll choose the new home that's ideal for you:

The unemployment rate in the U.S. has fallen to 8.8 percent, the lowest rate in two years, according to the Labor Department.
The Labor Department says private employers are making the difference.
The unemployment rate dipped from 8.9 percent in February to 8.8 percent in March. It has fallen a full percentage point in the last four months, the sharpest drop since 1983.
Private employers added an additional 230,000 jobs last month after added 240,000 new jobs in February. The new statistics mark the first time private hiring has topped 200,000 in back-to-back months since 2006.
"The U.S. labor market is finally making some serious progress," said Sal Guatieri, economist at BMO Capital Markets Economics.
Click play for an updated report with CBN News' Mark Martin.
The number of unemployed people dipped to 13.5 million in March, almost double since before the recession began in December 2007. But there is a bright side for job seekers.
Retailer Aaron's Inc. said this week that it plans to create almost 1,000 jobs in the United States and Canada this year. The company sells and leases residential furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories.
Google Inc. said earlier this year that it plans to hire more than 6,200 workers in 2011, the biggest expansion by the Internet's most profitable company. That would increase the company's work force by more than 25 percent.
"In the last two months, looks likes we may be getting an acceleration in job growth, which would be a good sign," said Keith Hall, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Still, President Barack Obama cautioned against being overly optimistic.
"Despite that good news, everybody here knows we've got a lot more work to do," he said. "There are still millions of Americans out there that are looking for a job that pays the bills."
Energy prices are also skyrocketing, leading to extremely high prices at the pump.
Since the beginning of the year, the price for a gallon of gas has risen 50 cents.
The president hopes new clean energy jobs will help the job market to continue to grow.
Republicans said the job numbers for March are welcome news, but warned too much government spending is no April fool's joke.
"It's clear that we need to cut spending," said House Speaker John Boehner. "We need to stop unnecessary regulations and the threat of tax hikes, and pass the trade bills that are out there."
The 2.5 million jobs that could be created over the rest of this year is still only a small portion of the 7.5 million jobs lost during the recession.

LIKE all good politicians, President Jacob Zuma has mastered the art of signalling left and then going right. That's essentially the art of saying or doing what you don't mean — or performing with conviction an otherwise awkward task.
That is how Mr Zuma appeared as he delivered a lecture in honour of his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki, on Friday — confident and sincere.
But, there is always a "but".
Mr Mbeki was the main person who did not want Mr Zuma to become African National Congress (ANC) president. He was happy for Mr Zuma to have become deputy, but he would not readily hand over to Mr Zuma the presidential baton of a party he and his parents had worked hard to build.
Mr Mbeki stood for a third term as head of the party in a failed attempt to block Mr Zuma succeeding him. He had fired Mr Zuma as his deputy in 2005 on the strength of an erroneously interpreted judgment that linked Mr Zuma to a corrupt relationship with his financial adviser Schabir Shaik.
But how Mr Mbeki tried everything to suppress Mr Zuma's rise was conveniently absent in the president's speech on Friday.
It was a case of having come to praise Mr Mbeki, instead of having come to bury him. Praise him he did. Talking about Mr Mbeki was not going to be a difficult task for Mr Zuma, for two reasons.
First, they are contemporaries — having both been born in 1942 — and worked together in exile, especially during the 1980s, before the unbanning of the ANC. Together with Aziz Pahad and Joe Nhlanhla, Mr Mbeki and Mr Zuma were assigned by then-president Oliver Tambo to begin exploratory talks with the apartheid government in England and Switzerland.
Second, Mr Zuma has a profound ability to present a straight face as he utters words with an ironic ring. An example is when he professes his government's focus on corruption, commitment to the rule of law and a free media — all aspects where he personally scores low points for leadership.
Going to Aliwal North on Friday, on the Eastern Cape and Free State border, Mr Zuma was under the spotlight, with critics watching with keen interest what he would say. Mr Mbeki's mother Epainette had asked the day before what the point of honouring the former president was, when the ANC had humiliated him by hounding him out of office. But Mr Zuma had exactly the answer for that, when he praised Mr Mbeki for having accepted his 2008 recall with dignity.
Mr Zuma said: "What defined him most as a loyal cadre of the organisation and true patriot was his conduct during the difficult and devastating period of his recall from office. He accepted the decision of the ANC NEC (national executive committee). Like a true statesman, he put the country first above personal considerations. He stepped aside in a dignified manner, allowing a smooth transition to take place in government to the presidency of Comrade Kgalema Motlanthe."
Mr Zuma did himself a huge favour by touching on this part of Mr Mbeki's biography. Otherwise the lecture would have been hollow. But it was puzzling how he left out the events before the Polokwane conference in 2007 when they took each other on. Even more intriguing is how Mr Zuma did not mention his own suffering when Mr Mbeki fired him as deputy president of SA. Mr Mbeki had tried to push Mr Zuma out of his post of ANC deputy president, but this was rejected by ANC branch delegates at the 2005 national general council. Had the delegates not revolted, Mr Zuma would certainly have been history.
But Mr Zuma, being the cunning politician that he is, is well aware of who his enemy is with only a month to go to the Mangaung conference.
That enemy is not Mr Mbeki, who four years ago he described as a "dead snake" that comrades should stop beating.
The ANC has held 11 lectures for all its past presidents. What is left is a lecture to honour Mr Zuma — to be held in the Free State next month. The question on many lips now is who will deliver the Zuma lecture? Will the ANC give the task to Mr Motlanthe, the deputy president? That would be a killer move, placing Mr Motlanthe in an awkward corner as he would have to speak in honour of the man he may contest for the ANC presidency in Mangaung.
The past 11 lectures gave Mr Zuma a platform that became a campaign tool ahead of Mangaung. Most of the lectures were hardly noteworthy. He was criticised for botching Nelson Mandela's in July by delivering what sounded and read like the bare facts, gravely lacking interpretation and insight.
The lectures were an opportunity for the ANC to connect with its supporters, to market and entrench the 100-year-old brand. But too often they turned into a Zuma affair. Every month, Mr Zuma was guaranteed an ANC platform and a carefully screened audience to these invitation-only lectures.
But Mr Mbeki's absence at the function of his own honouring — his office said he was away on legitimate business — shows he does not take such events seriously.
There may well be far more important things for the man who was named the African of the year on Friday, than being present when being showered with praises.

January/February 2002 - Volume 81 Number 1By Clifford L. Morgan
The title industry's new Homeowner's and Expanded Coverage Residential Loan Policies provide coverages that—for the first time in our industry's history—the regular consumer can relate to. That is very important. These policies, as adopted by ALTA®, were designed only for residential one-to-four family homes. The Homeowner's Policy was adopted on October 17, 1998. The Expanded Coverage Residential Loan Policy was adopted at the ALTA® 2001 Annual Convention last October.
Many of our customers don't understand title insurance, and therefore they don't appreciate it. Likewise, they don't understand the real estate settlement process and how it relates to title insurance. Most homeowners will only go through the settlement process a few times in their lifetime. There are questions that arise about the relevance of title insurance, usually due to ignorance or changes taking place in the world. In either case it is important for our industry to continue to innovate and educate so there is no question about the true value we add to the real estate community.
When I speak to groups I ask the question, "How many of you have had your house catch on fire?" I have never had more than three or four people even in large groups of two to three hundred raise their hands. Most of the time nobody in the group has ever experienced such a frightening event. Why do those that have not had this experience continue to buy fire insurance when virtually no one has had their home catch on fire? It is because they can relate to the danger and the damage fire can cause. Even though it isn't likely they will ever experience such a loss they don't want to run the economic risk of loss if it does happen to them. They can relate to the coverage. It is real to them.
This should be the same attitude consumers have about title insurance. They should be able to relate to the coverage. The coverages should describe events, economic risk, and legal defense problems the common person on the street fears and wants to transfer to an insurance company.
This is why it is a good thing for our industry, in my opinion, that ALTA® has developed the new Homeowner's and Expanded Coverage Residential Loan Policies. We want to have products that our customers demand just as they do fire insurance. We want policies for homeowners that provide coverages relevant in today's world. No home purchaser should even consider buying their home without also demanding the Homeowner's Title Insurance Policy.
These policies provide all the protection of ALTA®'s other title policies, plus many other valuable and relevant coverages. Historically, our policies have been viewed as covering only those losses arising from defects in title existing at the time the policy is issued. That is good coverage but consumers and their lenders need more for residential properties. They need coverage for future events affecting their title which they haven't caused or created and have no real way to protect against.
We have seen many prime time television news reports of attempts to steal someone else's home or put a mortgage on it. These televised reports cover properties from Canada to Mexico and California to Connecticut and many places in between. None of the owners in these reports had the ALTA® Homeowner 's Policy so they were not protected from the forgery and fraud pertaining to their title. Why? Because the problem didn't exist when they purchased their home. It happened later. These new policies cover many such post policy title problems, which are not covered by the other available policies.
Both the Homeowner's and the Lender's Expanded Coverage policies provide new and very exciting coverages. These coverages should result in homeowners wanting their own policy of title insurance on every home they purchase. Below is a brief description of just some of the problems covered by these new policies:
|Post-policy forgery or impersonation leaving you with no record title or with mortgages on your home you never made.
|Someone claiming that during your ownership a prescriptive negative easement, such as a view easement, has been created over your land, limiting your use.
|Neighbors building encroaching structures onto your land after you purchase it.
|Anybody after you purchase your home recording a deed, mortgage, or other document that by mistake describes your property instead of the land intended, thereby leaving you with a clouded title and expenses and a hassle to get it corrected.
|Lack of actual physical access for both vehicles and pedestrians to and from your home. (Other policies only provide coverage for lack of a legal right of access.)
|Pre-existing violations of CC&Rs which someone is trying to force you to correct or remove. This coverage applies even if the CC&Rs are excepted from coverage in schedule B.
|Subdivision law violations of previous owner. (In some areas the title is void if the subdivision laws have been violated. In others you cannot obtain building permits to make the desired improvements.)
|Building permit violations of previous owners. (This is very valuable to the unwary purchaser because it is virtually impossible to know whether all portions of the home you want to purchase were constructed with a building permit.)
|Zoning law or regulation violations of previous owners which the insured is forced to remedy or remove.
|Encroachments of existing structures onto neighboring property or onto easements affecting your home. (There is even coverage for boundary wall or fence encroachments.)
|The residence with the address shown in the policy not being located on the land described.
A few of these coverages are subject to deductibles and caps on the indemnity benefit that may be less than the stated Amount of Insurance. While this is new for title insurers, it is commonplace in the rest of the insurance industry. Additionally, the Homeowner's Policy gives coverage for renting a substitute residence if the insured can't use his/her home due to a covered claim. This policy also automatically increases in Policy Amount 10% per year for the first 5 years so coverage is increased to a maximum of 150% of the original Policy Amount (usually the purchase price). This provides the consumer with automatic inflation protection as well as increased value due to improvements.
One of the great benefits of the Homeowner's Policy is it solves a problem inherent in other forms. Other policies terminate when you transfer your title except as to warranty liability. This has been problematic for owners and estate planning professionals. If you purchase a policy when you buy your home and subsequently place the title in your trust for estate planning purposes, you may have very well lost your title insurance coverage. Not so with ALTA® 's new Homeowner's Policy.
The Expanded Coverage Lender's Policy has enhanced coverages similar to the Homeowner's Policy but does not have deductibles or limits on the indemnity benefit less than the Policy Amount. This loan policy does not provide the substitute rental benefit, for obvious reasons, and is supplemented with coverages that apply only to lenders just as the other ALTA® loan policies.
Some of the additional benefits of the Expanded Residential Loan Policy not part of the owner's policy are:
|An automatic increase in the amount of insurance to 125% of the amount stated in Schedule A. This would, among other things, cover negative amortization loans.
|Automatic revolving credit advance coverage.
|Automatic coverage for advances made and different interest rates charged based upon a post-policy modification to the insured mortgage if the mortgage so allows.
|Environmental protection lien coverage.
|Coverage for failure of the land to have the address shown in the policy and be improved with a residential structure.
|Usury coverage for violations of the state's laws where the land is located.
Unlike the 1992 ALTA® Loan Policy, this policy has an insuring clause relating to survey matters thereby eliminating any question of whether or not survey coverage is provided. It is provided and in a very broad manner.
This loan policy also automatically includes various endorsement coverages such as the ATLA 4, 5, 6, 6.2, 8.1, and 9. This is a tremendous benefit from a practical level for both the insurer, issuing agent, and the insured. You don't have to check a box or attach the above-mentioned endorsements to the policy. The coverage already is there. This eliminates the potential for mistakes and unnecessary phone calls.
These are excellent new ALTA® products and we can all be proud of the coverages and benefits given. It is very important for those who are looking to increase their market share to offer the new Homeowner's Policy. We need to take aim at the 31% of home purchasers that don't buy owner's policies. Explain the benefit of these tremendous new coverages to your clients and customers and watch your business grow!

I received some insider info from my brother (@WrabelWrage) regarding NHL 13 and their current roster update which came out yesterday for Xbox 360. After the download is finished, you're left with 2 defenseman that aren't your first options for different reasons.
NHL 13 doesn't give the Rangers John Moore and actually takes away Anton Stralman (some might be OK with this move), leaving you with Roman Hamrlik and Michael Sauer as essentially your bottom defense pairing. One is a non-existent traffic cone and the other hasn't played a game since December 5, 2011 because of a concussion.
Nice job, NHL 13.

Buckwheat Zydeco
Stanley Dural Jr., alter ego of Buckwheat Zydeco, can take a bow for helping spread the gospel of zydeco music, a catchy hybrid of R&B and accordion-driven Creole music. But while his second major-label LP will reassure purists that Buckwheat hasn't sold out, it is not as interesting or as much fun as his 1987 debut, On a Night Like This. Buckwheat and producer Ted Fox pushed the limits of the genre on that LP; Taking It Home, by comparison, seems high spirited but repetitive. Dural's working friendship with Eric Clapton produced the album's high point, a ripsnorting cover of the bluesman's own Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad Buckwheat's II Sont Partis Band coaxes Clapton into playing with the passion he displayed 15 years ago with his old cohorts Derek & the Dominoes. But one inspired tune does not an album make. The remaining nine songs are acceptable but far from the best that Buckwheat has to offer. (Island)

I have a problem.
A few months ago, my teenage son gave me too much attitude and sassed me. I gave him "the look" and demanded he hand over his DS as punishment. He was officially grounded from it for a week.
(For those of you who have grown children - or are Amish - a DS is a hand-held electronic gaming device. Its only purpose is to suck our children's brains right out of their heads.)
After confiscating the DS, I decided to hide it for good measure. I hid it well. So well, in fact, that here I am several months later still searching for it.
My son is not happy. Quite frankly, neither am I.
My son is not happy because he worked, saved and bought that goofy thing with his own money. He carefully researched and purchased all the goofy games that are on it. Now that summer vacation is here, he'd like to be able to play with it. He carefully hints that, if I am not able to find it within a certain time period, I "owe" him a new one. When he suggests this, I narrow my eyes at him and emit a low growl. He backs away carefully.
I'm not happy because I seem to be losing my mind.
Once upon a time, I remembered where I put stuff. I was organized. I had a system. I could easily locate a book on a bookshelf or a matching sock within seconds. This was before I had children.
These days, I regularly renew my library books, not because I am so enthralled by reading them, but because I cannot seem to find them when they're due.
I have an entire drawer full of mismatched socks - a few hundred of them, actually. Where are their mates? I have no idea. I don't dare toss the lonely socks because, the moment I do, I'm sure to find their matches tucked away in a fitted sheet in the linen closet. ("Linen closet" sounds like such an orderly, adorable thing, doesn't it? Too bad mine reminds me of the Bermuda Triangle.)
My answer to everything lost is, "It's gotta be around here somewhere!" I just never seem to know where "somewhere" is.
My extended New York family believes that I live in a perfectly clean home where order reigns, the children are always polite and my ship is tightly controlled. This is because they come to see me once a year and I spend several days getting ready for them.
Here is the truth of my life, as evidenced by the view in my kitchen this very moment. It is 8:30 in the morning, but last night's dishes - some clean, some dirty - line the counter. The dishwasher is full and running because, you know, it's oh-so-difficult to remember to push the little "start" button on the appliance the night before.
Mail and newspapers haphazardly hide the top of the kitchen table. Expired school announcements are taped to the wall. April's school lunch menu reminds me what my kids ate for lunch two months ago. The cupboards are open, exposing a lovely collection of mismatched dishes. Muffin crumbs and coffee splashes litter the kitchen counter. (Yes, Virginia, this is the life you dreamed of.)
And Stephen wonders why I cannot find his DS?
To make matters worse, searching for my son's brain sucker is not easy. Riffling through my bedroom drawers reminds me that I really need to purge a few t-shirts. One peek inside the cedar chest is a Pandora's Box since it's filled with my children's teenie tiny baby outfits and Mother's Day cards made with love and little hands.
DS? What DS? Look at this adorable handprint pressed into plaster of Paris.
So I'm up a creek without a paddle or in over my head or some other idiomatic phrase that reminds me that I've lost more than just my son's electronic gaming system. The only thing that calms my frustrated, disorganized heart is that I suspect I'm not alone.

Twin Rockstars in Training?
Sometimes life as the twin four year olds in our large busy family is the preschooler equivalent of the rockstar lifestyle. Up early for school, dinner on the fly, heading out late to big brothers game, popping snacks with the other little sibling groupies, passing out at the post game after party, captured on film by paparazzi, and waking up the next morning in yesterday's clothes ready to do it all over again.

The Sims 2 Review
The Sims 2 is worth getting ahold of under any circumstances - though it's far more likely to get ahold of you somehow. And I warn you: it won't let go.
People insist on telling me that The Sims was the most unpredictable videogame phenomenon ever to occur. Fact is, they're all talking rubbish. The Sims is quite possibly one of the most predictable successes of our time. By its very premise it was bound to attract an audience much larger and more varied than anything that had gone before it. The Sims gave PC gaming a friendly leg-up over the walls of its traditional market boundaries, allowing it to gawp open-mouthed at the massive audience that could be open to it. Beyond the walls of gaming's stereotypical audience lies a massive multitude of people just waiting to be turned on to it, most of them women, and The Sims really did something towards capitalising upon this inexplicably ignored wealth of opportunity. The Sims, as the best-selling PC game of all time, truly was a game for everyone.
EA, of course, being the adorably grasping corporation that it is, took advantage of this unforeseen situation by releasing more add-ons and expansion packs than Jeremy Beadle has had bullets aimed at him. It's hard to see what anyone could possibly add to a sequel that hasn't been already thought of (you can even subject your original Sims to guinea pig plague, for crying out loud). This fact, coupled with the unnecessary £40 price tag (come on, EA, we all know it's going to be a success either way - why the cruel extortion of your customers?), could easily make one wonder if The Sims 2 is a game already severely past its time; after all, no success as great as its predecessor's can easily be repeated.
'The Sims' appeal is essentially an obsessive but finite thing'
I, like half the British populous, went through a significant period of time a few years ago when my Sims were pretty much all I could think about. When Livin' It Up came out, I was overjoyed. Then came House Party, after which I'd pretty much had enough. Then came Hot Date, On Vacation, Superstar, Unleashed, Makin' Magic and any others I may have missed out, none of which, I must admit, I have any experience of whatsoever. Why? Because whatever you add onto it, The Sims' appeal is essentially an obsessive but finite thing. All that a new add-on can do is reawaken one's original love of the game, but that original addiction never changes in itself.
All I can say is that The Sims 2 has been one hell of a reawakening. I didn't sleep for about three days succeeding my procurement of the game. Again that unrelenting obsession with the relationships, health, welfare, abilities and sleep patterns of my virtual people kept me glued to the screen of a computer that, as a predominantly console-based gamer, has been gathering dust in the corner for approximately six months since I got the last Sims Deluxe pack for it. I think the reason that so many were baffled by The Sims' original success is that they simply couldn't understand exactly what it was about the game that kept people sitting rigid in their chairs for such prolonged amounts of time, and thankfully that ingredient X is what certainly has not changed in The Sims 2. What has changed is that there are now several additions to the formula which make the playing experience just that bit more fluid and, theoretically, that bit more engaging than it was before.
It's very clear from the game that Maxis has listened to its fans. They wanted more romance, more believability, better and more complicated interaction between the Sims themselves, rather than more and more things for them to play with. Happily, there is no way that anybody could be disappointed with the comprehensive array of options that the Sims 2 presents us with. Sims now have significantly more complex relationships, emotions and needs, and what's more, they look much more loveable too. The fact that the Sims really look like proper little people this time around serves only to add to the absorption factor; their varied facial expressions and reactions invite us to really care about them in a way which some would no doubt say was severely unhealthy. Despite this, there still appear to be a large number of hateful beasts who would rather kill their Sims in amusing ways than guide them through happy and fulfilled lives - but hey, we all know that videogames turn us into desensitised monsters.

Tips To Blog Better | Lessons I Am Learning

In the...Thad PuckettThad Puckett[email protected]AdministratorHelping leaders make sense of today's technology. I get a rush out of helping succeed. I have always been that way. I am blessed in that I work at a cool company called The Karis Group. I get to do what I love to do every day.Conquer Technology
I am not a blogging expert. I am a novice in every way, but I have been improving, and I think if you are in the same boat you can improve. I started taking this blog seriously as a New Year's Resolution, and started writing more frequently. In the past two months I have developed some new skills, found some sources of inspiration and sources of encouragement/improvement. I thought I would share some tips I am learning with you.
- Have a Writing Schedule – Here I mean a set time to write. Fit your life schedule, but set aside time. For instance, I write mostly on the weekends, primarily Sunday evenings. I polish the week ahead's posts, and add to my idea list. But time is set aside to write.
- Use an Editorial Calendar – WordPress has plugins, and I assume Blogger does as well. The editorial calendar is important because it lets you plan out your publishing schedule.
- Be Sure to Schedule Social Media – You can use tools like HootSuite or Buffer or Tweetdeck to schedule tweets or FB posts to correspond to your publishing schedule. You can also use plugins to manage this aspect. If you are interested, there is a 30-day free trial of HootSuite Pro*
- Have a blog maintenance schedule – This includes updating, deleting spam comments, but also looking at your advertising. If you are using Google AdSense, you see content aware advertisements, but if you are using Commission Junction, LinkShare or similar, you need to rotate and update your ads.
- Visit and comment at other blogs – Do this daily to see your Alexa ranking improve.
- Read about SEO – You don't have to become an expert but you do need to understand what it is.
- Work steadily on improving – Getting better at blogging is more of a long-distance run, not a sprint.
- Running Giveaways is an easy way to drive traffic – But you can spend money you don't yet have if your advertising isn't in place yet.
Do you blog? Is it a hobby or a side-hustle? What are you learning along the way?
* Affiliate links (though I am a user of HootSuite, and can recommend it highly, this is indeed an affiliate link that will generate proceeds for this blog if you subscribe.

Can you please clarify exactly what you wish to run on the HP-UX systems.
Your message to SolarWinds seems to imply that you're talking about
how to configure the Net-SNMP agent on HP kit, but your query above
is talking about the Net-SNMP "client".
Which is correct?
> If we will run snmpconf from hp-ux host it is giving three file to configure
> 1>snmp.conf
> 2>snmptrapd.conf
> 3>snmp.conf
> Which one I need to configure ?[/color]
If you're talking about the Net-SNMP agent (i.e. retrieving information
from the HP-UX box), then you should be looking at snmpd.conf.
But quite honestly, the simplest way to get this working is not to
use "snmpconf" at all. Instead, create an snmpd.conf file containing
*just* the line
rocommunity public
You might want to change the community string, or restrict the
accessible views once you've got things working. But to start with,
I'd begin with this configuration.
If you're not talking about retrieving information from the HP-UX box,
then you'll need to give some more detail about exactly what you
are trying to do.

Happy customers make us happy! We've had the pleasure of creating stationery for many wonderful customers around the country and around the world – here's what some of them have had to say...
Our invitations and thank you notes are beautiful! I love them and can't wait for everyone to see them! I also love that Betsywhite makes sure we are following proper etiquette. Examples: I used a state abbreviation without even thinking about it, and I wasn't told I was wrong, just that I wasn't following etiquette. I was so so happy to be told! Thanks!Meghan B. – New Orleans, Louisiana
I want to say thank you for creating my gorgeous wedding invitations. I am sending them out today, and a little part of me is sad to part with them because I just love them so much! The paper weight is perfect and the thermography just adds a perfect touch of elegance. My fiancé and I picked out vintage stamps that relate to our wedding and how we met and am so lucky to have had my dad to volunteer to do the calligraphy for the envelopes. We went all out to try and do the beautiful invites you created justice! Thanks again!!Katherine K. – Keswick, Virginia
I am so happy with my invitations and thank you notes and can't wait to order my menus and programs! You can tell that every detail was thought through, even the packaging... Impressive! Just so classy and well done. I will be recommending betsywhite to my sisters and friends.Emily K. – Washington, DC
I couldn't be more happy with my final product. I still need to order my direction/accommodation card to complete the invitation, but I have thrilled with how everything has turned out so far. The entire proofing process was very easy, and I was very happy with the turn around and how quickly the order was processed and shipped.Katharine R. – Phoenix, Maryland
My wedding invitations arrived in the mail today and I am amazed at how simply beautiful they are! The care that you take in ensuring a quality product is very evident from the careful packaging to the gorgeous finished product! Thank you so much for providing such unique and stunning wedding invitations at a deceptively affordable price. They were worth every penny and then some!Molly P. – Portland, Maine
I can't express enough how much I LOVE the invitation suite that I got from Betsywhite!!! It is so gorgegous, and even the calligrapher commented on how GREAT they look, and how nice they are!!! The quality is amazing, and I'm so happy to send them to my guests!!!!Whitney H. – Pleasanton, California
I really could not be happier with the service that I received from start to finish. The ordering and proofing process was well-guided by your site, questions I had were promptly answered, and a last-minute shipping change was honored. And good God, these invitations are gorgeous! The pictures online really do not do them justice. The pearlized border looks as though it must haev been hand painted. They're absolutely stunning. With so many far more expensive options out there, I'm incredibly impressed.Elizabeth C. – Los Angeles, California
Oh my!!!! We were totally thrilled with your company and completely satisfied with the products we ordered! ...We were on a tight deadline and you came through for us. Your service and communication by email was above and beyond anything I ever expected and you can count on me for any future business! I will definitely refer you to anyone I know who may be in need of your products and thanks so much for being so courteous and accommodating. Keep up the good work! Good customer service is hard to come by these days and you get an A+++++ for being so easy to deal with.Martha D. W. – Springfield, Tennessee
The ordering process was so easy and I appreciated the samples that I could refer to for wording etc. The final product was beautiful and I feel that I received excellent value for the price. I would highly recommend your company to any couple getting married or to someone planning a special occasion.Lindsay K. – Toronto, Canada
I looked at probrably every invitation available on the market, and Betsywhite definately offered the best value for the money. I can send out a unique, modern, quality invitation, and still maintain my budget!! I couldn't be happier about my wedding invitations and would recommend to anyone!!Bridget S. – Lawrenceville, New Jersey
I am very pleased with my invitations. They look exactly as I expected them to. I searched so long for beautiful invitations at an affordable price and I am so glad I found Betsywhite. I also was so happy that I received them so quickly!! I would recommend Betsywhite highly to anyone in need of wedding invitations or stationery of any kind.Robin T. – Washington DC
Our invitations are beautiful and we are thrilled. Thank you so much for the beautiful work. We were also so pleased to have prompt responses from your Customer Service. It can be a little nervewracking to order the invitations, because you want everything to be perfect, but your Customer Service team was so supportive and accessible that it made the process fun and easy. Thanks!!Kelly G. – Lenox, Massachusetts
Ordering the invitations for our wedding was really easy. The Bestywhite team were very helpful and responded to questions and requests quickly. I really appreciated this. Most importantly, our stationery is absolutely beautiful - we're delighted with the quality and can't wait to send the invitations to our guests. Thanks so much!Jessica O. – Mosman, Australia
Received items in a very timely manner, despite ordering issue. Customer service resolved the issue very quickly. Very pleased with my overall experience with betsywhite. Will definitely consider purchasing my future stationery needs from betsywhite. Very high quality product. Lots of compliments on the invitations.Keli M. – Fernandina Beach, Florida
Everything turned out great! I have nothing but positive things to say and will totally be recommending yall to my engaged friends. I really like how yall have a wide selection of things to order... The approval/revision process was super fast, the invitations turned out GREAT and when the paper for my response cards were on back-order y'all notified me of the situation and even sent the order NEXT DAY! My invitations are all addressed and being mailed tomorrow and I can't wait for my guests to see them. Thanks so much for the awesome work.Amanda A. – Tampa, Florida
I used Betsywhite for my invitations as well as my thank you cards. I couldn't afford letterpress invitations but I yearned for something more tactile and formal than flat digital printed invites. Enter betsywhite. They focus on thermography and they offer it at an unbeatable price. Their designs are beautiful too... My invitations arrived sooner than expected and perfectly prepared.Stephanie S. – East Windsor, Connecticut
The invitations were as beautiful as I hoped they would be. We also ordered the logo and have already had cocktail napkins made, which we love. We also printed our own large round labels. We were very happy to be able to use the artwork to personalize different things. Overall, we are very happy with the finished product and have already recommended your invitations to one of my bridesmaids...Buffy J. – Lewes, Delaware
Overall I am very pleased with Betsywhite. We received our order yesterday and they look beautiful and error-free. The proof process was quick and easy, and we didn't even need to make changes. We liked the final product even better than the proofs. The design was just what I was looking for and could not find with other vendors, and your pricing for thermography was outstanding.Stephanie S. – East Windsor, Connecticut
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my purchase from Betsywhite!! It took me a long time to find just the right invitation, and I couldn't be happier about coming across Betsywhite. Many websites and catalogs offered a lot of the same - low on the uniqueness scale and pretty high on the cheesiness. I cannot wait to send my invitations out and hear what our guests have to say about them - I know they will be impressed! And, I absolutely love the fact that I am able to carry my logo through the programs, favors, napkins, and thank you notes. My wedding day will definitely be a reflection of my style. You truly met all of my needs and kept me very comfortable during the process. Your online customer service was prompt and thorough. THANK YOU so much for making this piece of planning my wedding so enjoyable!Jamie L. – Baton Rouge, Louisiana
I am blown away by both the quality of the invitations and the customer service that shows throughout your smooth shopping, transaction, proofing, and shipping process. I'm a web designer and focus on user interface design as well as an avid online shopper. I see unfriendly and unintuitive shopping experiences all the time. You guys have nailed the shopping experience and communication with your customers throughout the process. Well done! We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know and continue to be life-long customers. Thank you for putting such great quality and attention to detail into your business and your products (the printing was crisp and the paper stock stellar). Your process was a breath of fresh air amongst the stressful engagement/wedding hoo-haa we're going through.Amber S. – Brooklyn, New York
We are beyond thrilled with our experience with and purchase from Betsywhite…the best customer service I have received (HANDS DOWN) so far in the wedding planning process. Our invitations are beautiful and we have received lots of compliments. I literally can't say enough good things about Betsywhite and I will tell every single person I know about the excellent customer service I received. Throughout the process of planning a wedding, I have worked with many different vendors. If only they could all have such great customer service and such great products as Betsywhite! Things would have been so easy. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything.Tara S. – Columbia, South Carolina
I absolutely love my invitations and enclosures! Thank you so much for all of the prompt answers to my MANY questions. And for sending another sample when I made a mistake with the shipping address, and allowing us to upgrade shipping once the order was already placed. I am 100% satisfied with my order and will recommend you in the future!Andrea F. – McMurray, Pennsylvania
I love the stationary. I'm so excited to get such a beautiful product. I changed something on my proofs and an updated proof was sent to me very quickly. Also, I thought the price very fair. I'm on a tighter budget and I chose Betsywhite because of the beautiful products and great price. Thankyou!Jessica J. – Apison, Tennessee
I just wanted to say thanks for your help with my invitations, I can safely say that my experience is the best I have ever had in terms of purchasing anything both online and in-store. You were very efficient from the moment I ordered the invitation samples, to sending proofs, to mailing the invitations.Cherise W. – Jamaica
All of my questions were answered politely and promptly…and supplied me with excellent quality invitations faster than I had expected! I honestly felt as if I were dealing with people I had met in person already, it was refreshing to say the least.
I had initially chosen [your company] because I was limited to online vendors (since I currently live in Jamaica) and your invitations were the only ones I could find after extensive research that fit my modern, relaxed, destination wedding. After this experience I realize I couldn't have chosen a better company to work with. You had the best selection of invitations, catering to various wedding styles and personalities and with a reasonable price range. I even researched stationary stores in Toronto and all of their invitations were cookie-cutter boring and looked like they belonged in the 90s. If only you offered everything else that goes into putting on a wedding, I wish all of my vendors were so efficient!
I just want to tell you how pleased we are with the way our invitations came out. They were even BETTER than I imagined them...thank you so much for making the invitation process smooth and pain-free, and for your speedy replies, and for your fabulousness...your customer service is outstanding!Gladys R. – Los Angeles, California
We received numerous comments from guests, even before the wedding, about how much they liked our invitations and how much they were looking forward to our big day. One of my coworkers even came to me to say, "I knew your invitations were going to be really nice when you showed me the proofs, but they are just exceptional in person!" If you had to say what the purpose of a wedding invitation is, I would say that it should serve two purposes. First, it should serve as a beautiful keepsake that reflects the style of your wedding, and second, it should not only inform guests about the details of your wedding but also heighten their excitement about the event. Our invitations more than fulfilled both of these expectations. Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced, but I just think that our invitations were the most beautiful wedding invitations that I've ever seen. We couldn't be happier!Desirée S. – Roswell, Georgia

JERUSALEM, Israel - In a classic response to Friday's brutal terror attack on an Israeli family in the settlement of Itamar, the Jewish state approved the construction of 500 news homes in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). Saturday's decision came 24 hours after Udi Fogel, 36, and his wife, Ruth, 35, and three of their children, Yoav, 11, Elad, 3, and Hadas, three months, were stabbed to death by Palestinian militants in their home."They murder, we build," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday during a condolence call to the grieving family. Meanwhile, 20,000 mourners attended funerals in Jerusalem on Sunday for the five slain members of the Fogel family.
The Fogels were laid to rest in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul cemetary.Click play to watch CBN News Jerusalem Correspondent Julie Stahl's report.
At the funeral, Tel Aviv Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau asked, "What can you say when you see a three-month-old baby stabbed to death? What do you say?"
"We will not bend, we will not give up. We returned to the land of our fathers and it is our home," he said.
Strategic Affairs Minister and Vice Premier Moshe Ya'alon said the Palestinian Authority would recognize the murderers as heroes, name city squares after them, and "they will be honored by [Palestinian] schools," he said, adding that "such acts are routine with our neighbors."
"As long as this murderous education persists, as long as the leadership's wild incitement continues, any [peace] agreement we sign will not be worth the paper it is written on," he said.
"We need to continue what our fathers did. We have never given up our right to this land," Ya'alon said. "Anyone who gives up this right won't have security either," he said.
The Murders
Officials believe the terrorists entered the Fogel's home around 10:30 p.m. on Friday evening. They had infiltrated Itamar, a small Jewish community southeast of Nablus (biblical Shechem), by cutting through the security fence.
Apparently, they didn't see the six-year-old boy asleep on the couch and went to the master bedroom where they slashed the throats of the father and the youngest child, a three-month-old girl.
Their next victim was the mother, stabbed to death as she came out of the bathroom. From there, they slashed the throat of the 11-year-old boy reading in bed. They failed to notice the two year old asleep in his bed, instead killing the three year old by stabbing him twice in the heart.
They locked the front door before leaving the same way they had entered.
The couple's 12-year-old daughter found the front door locked when she came home so she went next door to ask for help. The neighbor grabbed his weapon and they entered through the window and woke up the six year old. After unlocking the front door, he left, thinking everthing was alright.
It wasn't. The daughter opened the bedroom doors and ran out of the house screaming for help.
Massive Search Launched
The Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police arrived and launched a massive search for the attackers. Around 3:30 a.m., IDF trackers discovered footprints leading to the Arab village of Avrata.
Maj.-Gen. Avi Mizrachi, IDF Central Command chief, described the murders as "despicable" and "cowardly."
"This was a very harsh terror attack," Mizrachi said. "A whole family was wiped out by despicable, cowardly murderers who came in the dead of night and killed innocent children, a woman and a man as they slept."
The al-Aksa Martyr's Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Authority's Fatah faction, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Response to P.A.'s Statement
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement Saturday saying he rejected and condemned "all violence directed against civilians, regardless of who was behind it or the reason for it."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the P.A.'s response to the murders in a televised press conference, saying that is "not the way you condemn terror; that's not the way you fight terror."
Netanyahu called on the Palestinian Authority to end incitement to terror in its schools, media and mosques.
The White House press secretary also called on the Palestinian Authority "to unequivocally condemn" the attack.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms the murder of five Israelis in a terrorist attack in the northern West Bank, and we offer oru condolences to their loved ones and to the Israeli people. There is no possible justification for the killing of parents and children in their home. We call on the Palestinian Authority to unequivocally condemn this terrorist attack and for the perpetrators of this heinous crime to be held accountable," the statement read.
Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan told reporters at the scene there were no words to "describe the extent of the horror and pain," Dayan said terrorists don't "shy away from any tactic and any Jewish victims, regardless of how young they are."
"The time has come for the government to regain its senses and start backing up the settlement enterprise, which remains vulnerable on the front lines," Dayan said.
Wake-up Call
Likud MK Danny Danon hoped the horrific murder might serve a wakeup call for the "international community."
"Now maybe the international community, which condemns us all the time, will understand who we are dealing with here," he said.
"In every peace agreement they want us to sign, they need to understand who is on the other side," Danon said.
In 2002, a Palestinian terrorist infiltrated Itamar and shot dead a young mother and three of her seven children and the head of the local security team.

It's been a while since my last update. I inadvertently took 2 weeks off from exercising - the 1st was a planned rest week, and then I got sick and took an additional week off. I started lifting again last week. I started at 25 lbs. less than my previous workout weights, to ease myself back into it.
I bought a foam roller. I'm kind of surprised at how well it works for muscle soreness. I've been using it after every lifting session and Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. If you don't have one, go buy it now.

The challenge allows participants to tackle a 4.25 mile obstacle course designed for the event, which is meant to resemble military training courses. About 900 people took part last year. There will be trails, creek crossings, tunnels, walls and barbed wire, with a healthy dose of mud.
Scott Cochran, the race director, said several different obstacles have been added this year to the course, which utilizes about a half-mile of the city's Black Creek Trail and some mountain bike paths cut into the woods in the park, along with some paths specifically set aside for the challenge. More than 1,000 have already signed up.
"We've had people sign up from Kansas, Wyoming, Virginia, and one from Louisiana just the other day," Cochran said. "Last time I ran the numbers, it looked like 50 percent of the people coming are from out of state."
Early package pickup and the pre-race expo will start at the park's Kiwanis Pavilion June 21 from 1 to 6 p.m. Coosa Valley YMCA will also be there to pre-register children under 15 for its $10 mini-challenge. The events begin at 8:30 p.m. June 22.
There is no charge for spectators to attend the Barbarian Challenge and post-race party. There will be food, drinks and entertainment. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Etowah County Rescue Squad and Coosa Valley YMCA.
The male and female barbarian winners will receive an authentic movie replica "Conan the Barbarian" sword. Members of the fastest tribe receive a replica medieval mace. Awards will be given to first through third place finishers in each age group at 1 p.m.
Preregistration will be accepted through Friday. For more information or to register, visit the event website.

16 seems a bit young for a player, must be half decent then. Im sure the old enforcer Steve McKenna went over to Oz after he left the UK. he played for a team over here called the Nottingham Panthers then went to Italy before moving on to Australia i think.Jul 29 2010 11:20 AM
i think the prospects Tatar and Nyquist are going to have stella years and maybe in Tatar case even earn a call up.

Hey mate! The Adelaide Adrenaline as theyre now known won the championship last year!! Greg Oden is still playing and tearing it up, I believe hes the captain. Weve got a few international imports, Russian Zolaterevn and Fin Sami Mantere. Weve also got this 16 y/o from Canada by the name of Carson Sinclair. Theyll be a good chance to defend their title next season.Jul 27 2010 09:39 AM
Andy Pred 48 → Aussie_Wing
hi ya just wondered if the Aussie league was still up and running? we had the Oddy brothers play over here in UK a few years back and they took a few local lads to play back down under. I think they went to the Avalanche in your home town. Anyway all the best mate looking forward to the new season all ready, hoping Tatar gets called up this year. Andy.Jul 25 2010 10:20 AM
Andy Pred 48 → CopenhagenWing
hi ya buddy, just got to say that your Danes really opened a few eyes with their play in the championships. I think the Russians really want this bad, and have by far the most loaded roster in the tourny. Can you remember a netminder called Jan Jensen? he played for my local side here in the Uk back in 98-99 season.He played alot of years for Esbjerg, and was the Danish national goalie.May 21 2010 02:07 PM

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - While Israeli Prime Minister speaks of peace negotiations with Syria and "real progress" with the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is preparing for war.
On Wednesday, the IDF wrapped up a second large-scale military drill, which was not open to media coverage.
"Publication may have caused mistaken interpretations in certain circles, and we wanted to prevent that," a senior IDF officer explained after the drill was completed.
Dubbed 'Av'nay Esh' (Stones of Fire), the drill provided commanders and higher-ranking officers with wartime scenarios to hone their decision-making skills in the field and help them with presenting the information to politicians.
It was the second largest military drill since the end of the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.
Under the command of Chief of General Staff Lt.-General Gabi Ashkenazi, the IDF has focused on applying the lessons learned from the war with Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorists.
"This is the purpose of such drills," one IDF officer said. This was not an all-inclusive drill, but rather one for senior officers," he said.
"We already knew that the IDF has been blessed with incredible officers and combat soldiers, and we need to make sure that they receive orders in the clearest and most efficient ways in the event of a war," he said.
With Iranian-funded and trained Hezbollah in the north and a similar scenario with Hamas in Gaza, the IDF is preparing for all eventualities.

That Sarah McLachlan music video
I'm a little slow on the uptake on this one… like two years!
Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan's World on Fire music video cost $150,000 to produce… except it didn't, it cost $15 and the rest was donated to these charities.
Well, it hasn't actually been available on YouTube for that long; thanks to Kai Chan Vong at Justgiving for the tip off.
Oh, and Justgiving has launched its very own page on YouTube. I'm pretty certain that we'll see a steady increase in the number of people capturing their fundraising stories on video.
Of course, we already know that $500 can buy a family in China a water buffalo.

What are People Saying about FuseGuard?
"Highly Recommended!"
The <CFHour> Podcast Listen
FuseGuard was easy to install on ColdFusion 9 Enterprise, has blocked numerous hack attempts ... I only wish I'd been using FuseGuard earlier!
Aaron Longnion - Founder & CTO of Refynr.com
"The best $350 you can spend on securing your application."
John Blayter - Denver ColdFusion User Group Manager
"After years of patching a homegrown web application firewall that continued to fall short during third party security audits, our team tested replacing it with FuseGuard. FuseGuard's report interface made easy work of analyzing the security alerts and allowed us to configure the firewall to maximize the signal to noise ratio very efficiently. We found FuseGuard to be very extensible so that we could customize it to handle some of the quirks in some legacy applications. After a few days of using FuseGuard in our Dev environment, we put our apps to the test by running IBM's AppScan security analysis tool against them. We found that with FuseGuard our web applications easily passed the security audit with flying colors, so we rolled it out into production across all of our sites."
Steven Erat
Why use a Web Application Firewall?
A recent study by security firm Veracode found that "58% of all applications submitted for verification did not achieve an acceptable security score... Internally Developed applications fared the poorest, with failure rates as high as 88%."
Even the best developers in the world are capable of writing code that is not secure. Security vulnerabilities, like bugs are often unintended oversights. Just as no developer writes 100% bug free software 100% of the time, no developer can write 100% secure code 100% of the time.
Blocks Many Types of Attacks
The firewall comes with over 15 filters to help protect against vulnerabilities such as:
- Malicious File Uploads
- Cross Site Scripting / XSS
- SQL Injection
- Session Hijacking
- Cross Site Request Forgery
- CRLF Injection
- Path Traversal Attacks
- Password Dictionary Attacks
We highly recommend that you frequently perform security audits to identify vulnerabilities within your code and server configuration. FuseGuard should not be your only line of defense.
We include a FREE copy of our CFML Security Checklist with every purchase of our firewall. If you need help reviewing your ColdFusion code, we can help.
Easy to Add to Existing Applications
Adding protection to your existing web applications is extremely easy to do, even for entry level programmers. Additionally we can help you install it.
- Copy the Firewall Files on to your server
- Edit the configuration file to determine which types of attacks you want to block or log.
- Add a few lines of code we supply to your
Customizable & Configurable
Because the firewall is written in ColdFusion, you will find it very easy to extend, and configure. Other firewalls have domain specific languages you need to learn in order to configure them properly. You already use CFML why not use that to configure your WAF.
You can also write your own custom filter in CFML that runs inside the firewall.
Checkout the Documentation and CFC API Reference
Thoroughly Tested
We've worked hard to create a high quality product. We've written hundreds of unit tests, and have researched web application security extensively to create a first of its kind security product for ColdFusion.
Run's Where You Need It
We support the ColdFusion Web Application Firewall on:
- Adobe ColdFusion 8, 9, 10 or 11
- Open Bluedragon 1.0 and up
- Railo 3 and up
Using a database for logging is not required (you can log to file or email), we currently support these database platforms:
- MySQL 4 or Greater
- Microsoft SQL Server 7 or Greater
- Apache Derby (Included in CF8 or Greater, script for creating DB and Datasource Included)
Works on most shared hosting environments.
There are three standard licensing options, however if you have a licensing need that doesn't fit within our model we would be happy to work out a custom quote.
- Application License $349/application - This license allows you to use the firewall on one web application on one server. An Application is defined as a collection of CFML code which runs off of a single Application.cfc or Application.cfm file.
- Server License $999/server - Allows you to use the firewall on an unlimited number of Applications residing on ONE physical server. The physical server may contain multiple J2EE server instances, and multiple virtualized operating systems.
- Enterprise License $7999/unlimited - Software may be used on multiple physical servers, and applications within the same organization located in the same country.
- Clustered License - For Applications that are clustered or behind a load balancer. Contact Us for details and pricing.
- Cloud License - For Applications that run on a number of servers that changes dynamically. Contact Us for details and pricing.
Here are some frequently asked licensing questions:
Can I upgrade my Application License to a Server License?
Yes, you can upgrade for the difference in price, $650. Add to Cart
Does the Server license cover multiple ColdFusion instances?
Yes, the server license covers an unlimited number of FuseGuard instances on the same physical server. This includes multiple Applications within a single ColdFusion instance, multiple applications on multiple instances of ColdFusion (on the same physcial server), and multiple instances of ColdFusion on multiple virtualized servers (running from the same physical host computer)
What constitutes an Application?
An application is defined as a single Application scope. If you have multiple Application.cfc/cfm files that all share the same application scope, they are considered to be a single Application. If you have a special scenario, please contact us and we'll let you know.
Do I need to purchase licenses for Development, Staging, Testing Servers?
No, a single FuseGuard license may be used on unlimited non-production servers, including development, staging, testing / qa, backup, hot-standby.

Turn New York City into an epic playground with The Go Game's unique team building games and smartphone scavenger hunt. Find clues and actors hidden in plain sight - that man covered head-to-toe in silver dancing to Michael Jackson hits? He might be with us. The lady strumming out tunes in the subway? She's in on it too. Whether you are a seasoned native or a wide-eyed visitor, our games will give you an opportunity to experience the Big Apple with fresh eyes and a quickened pulse.
Zig zag through throngs of gawking tourists, dodge scantily clad cowboys and impress your co-workers with your techno-wizardry. The Go Game adds a layer of mystery, absurdity and intrigue to the bedlam of Times Square.
Sneak around the cobbled streets of this historic neighborhood known for iconic stoops, cupcake shops, pick-up basketball games, and Sarah Jessica Parker sightings.
Get your game on at the intersection of indie film, high finance, and, of course - the Ghost Busters. Scour a bookstore for a hidden clue, scan the skyline to solve a riddle, or serenade an actor posing as a hotdog vendor.
Having a hard time deciding where in Manhattan to play The Go Game? GO GRAND! Explore the nooks and crannies of this gorgeous terminal, from whispering walls to Oyster Bar riddles. You'll never look at those celestial ceilings the same way again!
Navigate the tree-lined streets and historic brownstones of Park Slope while searching for clues hidden amongst yoga studios, co-ops and throngs of urban parents. Beer, brunch and bocce? All in a day's play.
Channel your inner Seinfeld and brush up on Zabar's schmear offerings, because The Go Game is taking you uptown! Brush elbows with the Upper West Side's bespectacled masses and complete missions that are way more fun than navigating Fairway Market at rush hour.
If you like artisanal coffee, the cast of Girls, and baconegg&cheeseonaroll, take the L train over to our hippest gamezone in Brooklyn. Find clues hidden amongst well-coifed tattooed youngsters, indie record shops and esoteric pop-ups. Irony optional.
Play The Go Game in New York City's most dynamic intersection where skateboarders, craft vendors, commuters and tourists co-exist peacefully... most of the time. Contribute to the spectacle with high-octane Go Game missions and hilarious secret agent challenges.
Put your gaming skills to the test in Manhattan's southern-most gamezone. Search for secrets hidden in the Financial District's impressive architecture, and solve a mission while getting a shoeshine. Get ready for a high stakes game in a fast-paced environment.
Aside from being one of our best-lit gamezones, Times Square is one of the most popular. And why not? It's practically a game already. But when you add a splash of The Go Game, magical things happen... watch players use the red TKTS steps to re-create Rocky or toilet paper to construct a Statue of Liberty crown. It's the perfect location to let imaginations run wild.
The West Village has the charm of a European small town, but also boasts the resources of the nation's biggest city. Escape the hustle and bustle of our other NYC gamezones and play in this delightfully intimate neighborhood.
If you want to take home the TriBeCa award for 1st place at the Go Game, you'll need your whole team to combine their wits, creativity, and adventurous spirit. Play The Go Game in TriBeCa and you just may end up in not only a Go Game photo, but a paparazzi shot as well!
Delve into New York City's glorious past by playing in this 100-year-old depot. Crowdsource your group's intelligence, creativity, and adventurous spirit with The Go Game at Grand Central. Ideal gamezone for inclement weather!
Bob and weave amongst the strollers, boutique butcher shops, and old Italian delis. Interact with secret agents disguised as quinoa enthusiasts, pilates instructors and Masonites. Our tech-fueled scavenger hunt will reveal a layer of Brooklyn that few people get a chance to discover.
Find actors dressed like Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, shout "hey I'm WALKEN HEAH" to a cabbie, and discover puzzles hidden in 24-hour diners - our UWS gamezone is as authentically New York as it gets. A great team building event location for Big Apple born and bred or NYC newbies alike!
Williamsburg might have been home to packs of roving wild dogs 20 years ago, but these days you are more likely to dodge a pack of bicycles or crowds of fashionistas. Armed with smartphones and gumption, Go Game players will find themselves diving deep into a quintessential Brooklyn team building experience.
Park? Plaza? Portal? Union Square is all of the above. Explore the magic of this bustling public space while you seek actors parading as jugglers, organic cheese makers, and high-powered executives. If you thought you knew Union Square... think again.
Run with bulls and avoid the wolves with a team building adventure on Wall Street. Skip around the economic epicenter of the world while solving missions in museums, parklets, famous locations and, of course, taverns. No downtown Go Game would be complete with confusing at least ONE stranger in a nice suit.
