Working in the insurance restoration business can provide you with a recession-proof business model as home damage occurs, regardless of what happens in the economy. If you want to get into the restoration business, you will need to be able to bid jobs on a regular basis. Bidding the work requires you to pay close attention to detail because of the potential for mistakes and lost profit. Once you figure out how to bid jobs, you can potentially create a stream of steady restoration jobs.
1. Obtain the appropriate business licensure and certification for your area. In many areas, you must buy a business license and become certified before you can start working as a contractor.
2. Buy general liability insurance and workers compensation insurance if you plan on hiring employees. General liability insurance will ensure that you do not have to pay for damage out of your own pocket if something goes wrong on a job. Workers compensation insurance will make sure that your employees are covered if they are injured while working.
3. Set up a business entity, such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. If you want to set up an LLC, you will need to file a paper known as the articles of organization in your state; corporations must file articles of incorporation with their state. Both options require you to pay a filing fee. Creating an LLC or a corporation can prevent you from being held personally responsible in the event of a business lawsuit.
4. Contact local insurance companies about the possibility of bidding jobs. In some cases, insurance companies will put you on a list of contractors that adjusters contact when a bid is needed on a claim.
5. Advertise your insurance restoration business in the community. You could use advertising sources, such as television, radio, local newspapers, social media or even create your own website, to promote your business. You must market your business so that customers think of your company when damage occurs to their homes.
6. Bid the insurance jobs as accurately as possible. Typically, you will need to make a detailed diagram of the area that you want to bid. Include dimensions and write down any work that will need to be done. Calculate how much you can do the job for and then add a percentage for profit on top of it.
7. Submit your bid to the customer or to the adjuster. Provide the bid to the entity that requested it from you. Once you submit the bid, you will then have to wait to find out if you were chosen to do the work.
- Start out bidding with a low profit margin. When you are new in the market, you will typically have to bid lower to get your foot in the door.
- Pay attention to every last detail when bidding. If you make a mistake, it could end up costing you money on a job.

My Story From Reading Class
A Man's Best Friend
By Abby Forrester
"YOU'RE FIRED!!" said Peter's boss. It had been two days without Bailey. It was on that tragic day in Peter's office when his boss said the sentence that he thought would ruin his life. Peter was so mad… no not mad he was furious! Peter thought to himself, "Doesn't he know about Bailey? Wait… I never told him!"
Two days before, Peter, a young man who had aqua blue eyes and chocolate brown hair, got fired. He was playing with Bailey, a husky with blue eyes, her fur was as soft as silk and was as white as snow, but was also as grey as rain clouds. The day before Peter got fired Bailey and Peter were playing in their vast, flat, green grass yard. After Peter was tired of throwing the neon yellow tennis ball back and forth as they do every day, he called Bailey over to him. Bailey still had too much energy and decided to beg to play more. Peter was still refusing and started to bubble up with anger. Bailey thought Peter was getting excited. So she ran up to him with a tennis ball, and wagged her tail so hard it looked like a flag flapping in the wind. Finally Peter lost it and slammed the door yelling at Bailey, " What is wrong with you! Why don't you ever listen to me! Why can't you be like a normal dog, and just listen! If you're not going to listen to me then you can sleep outside tonight!" This situation has happened many time before and you would think Bailey learned her lesson, because Peter always cared for her and loved her with all of his huge heart. Well she didn't. Unfortunately Peter didn't know that there was a terrible storm brewing that night. Later in the foggy, and midnight dark he saw the lightning and heard the thunder from outside. Then he realized that he still had Bailey outside. So he brought Bailey in, but was still mad at her, and made her sleep on the couch. The next day wasn't very good for Bailey or Peter. Around noon Bailey had ran away. Peter was so mad and frustrated at her. So he went looking for her. He ended up finding her at the store with white and red stripes all over it. The shop also had a smell that ran 4 blocks, it was a smell that everybody knew. The butcher shop. In all of the commotion Pete decided that he was going to give her away. The next day he sold her to a pet shelter. What Peter didn't know was that this action would affect his whole life.
After the day he had sold Bailey Peter went to work. Peter worked as a lawyer. Peter had been one of the best lawyers you could ever want. When you wanted something done he was the first to get it done. That was until he got fired, but anyways before Peter got fired he was feeling "lost" you could say. People at his work had heard about his terrible and unforgiving actions, but his boss is never caught up with anything in his own town, and is always worried about other states and the cases he has to assign to his employees. When Peter went to his office he just sat there in his cloud-like chair that he had ever since Bailey was just a puppy. During his hours at work he didn't know what to do with himself. It was like there was nowhere else to go, but back in time. So that's what he did, at least in his mind. He was thinking about all of the good, and bad, memories he had with Bailey. Once he realized it was almost six o'clock at night he tried to make those memories disappear. He started to pack his things up and lock his office. Then he saw his boss. His boss had asked what he was doing there. Peter didn't respond. His boss kept asking his question over and over again. In Peter's mind he was thinking about how he knew that deep down in his heart he wanted to keep the memories with Bailey. It didn't matter if they were bad or good he just wanted to keep them. The Peter's boss lost it. He yelled at the top of his very powerful lungs, "YOU'RE FIRED!! IF YOU WON'T LISTEN TO ME THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE IN THIS OFFICE !" Peter's boss stormed out of there as fast as you can say fired. Peter had finally come out of his daze. He was so stunned he didn't know what to do. So he just dragged his feet as he left the building , drove back home to his house, and laid on his couch. As he started to realize what happened, and thought about everything that had happened in the past two days, he slowly fell asleep. He slowly nuzzled up to his favorite pillow, his eyes started to feel like cement blocks, his arms crept over his head, and his brian dozed off dreaming about Bailey and what she is going through without the owner she has had for 4 years.
The next morning when he woke up to his first instinct being to get Bailey back to him. After what had had happened to him the night before, he wasn't feeling like himself. He was feeling very different without Bailey. So he drove to where he pet shelter was. The head director lived in a building with many other dogs, doctors, and vets. There were German Shepherds, Corgis, Huskies, Pugs, you name it. So Peter lightly knocked on the door. "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK !" After the blink of an eye the man cracked the door open just the tiniest bit.
"Yes." the man said.
"Hi, I'm Peter. I had sold my Husky to you, and I would like her back… please." Peter said in a shy, but nice voice.
"One second just let me open the door."
"CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK." Peter thought to himself that this door could probably set a Guinness World Record for the door with the most locks. His thoughts quickly faded away as the man walked out.
"Sure, you can have your dog back. Just let me get your money for the dog." Peter was so relieved that this man was extremely nice. When Bailey came out she jumped up to Peter almost knocking him off his feet . Right after Peter picked Bailey up, they drove right back to his work. As soon as he got there he ran in telling his boss everything that had happened. After his boss heard about everything with Bailey he immediately gave Peter back his job. He did this because Peter's boss had a dog of his own, and he said he couldn't imagine what Peter was going through. I mean you know what they say, a dog is a man's best friend.

DIY Steel Slime
Today I will be telling you how to make some DIY steel slime. For this DIY you will need 3 bowls, one bottle of clear glue, black food coloring, 2 Popsicle sticks or a spoon for mixing, silver dust powder, some borax, and hot water. You will also need some parent supervision for pouring the hot water.
The first step is to take one of you bowls and put about one teaspoon of borax in the bowl, and then pour about 1 1/2 cups of water into the same bowl. Then take a spoon or Popsicle stick and mix the borax and the water together until the borax has dissolved. Then let the mix cool.
Once the mix has cooled take your glue and your other 2 bowls and split the glue evenly between the 2 bowls. Next you need to take your black food coloring and squeeze about 4-8 drops of food coloring in one of the bowls of glue. Then take your Popsicle stick or spoon and mix them together. Then, take your silver dust powder and add about 1/2 teaspoon – 1 teaspoon into each bowl of glue. Next, you need to mix the glue and dust powder together in each bowl. The mixing step will take a little longer because it is a dust.
The next step is to take your borax and water mix, and pour about 1 teaspoon- 1 1/2 teaspoon into each bowl. The borax will make it stick together. Once you have poured the mixture into both bowls. You can take it out and squeeze out the access mixture that was in the slime. The last and final step is to mix both of the slimes together so that they are fully combined. Now you have your own awesome steel slime to play with.
Pennsylvania Attractions
In my reading class we did an essay on 3 amazing attractions in Pennsylvania. We were allowed to chose whatever attractions we wanted to. So I thought that I could share my essay with you, have fun !
Pennsylvania Attractions
So you moved to Pennsylvania? Well lucky you! In Pennsylvania there is so much to do. Some examples are the Turkey Hill Experience, the Philadelphia Zoo, and Kitchen Kettle Village. Let me tell you about these places.
First up is the Turkey Hill Experience. The Turkey Hill Experience is basically just a building filled with ice cream, and no when you walk in ice cream doesn't come flowing out. What I mean is that there are a bunch of ice cream related activities to do for all ages, including parents. You could make your own ice cream, star in your own TV commercial (it isn't actually on TV), travel the world of tea, and so much more. The Turkey Hill Experience is in Columbia Pennsylvania. It is also open all year round except Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day. If someday you end up going to the the Turkey Hill Experience there will be plenty of educational and fun things to do.
While you are in Pennsylvania you could also go to the Philadelphia Zoo. The Philadelphia Zoo is a 143 year old zoo. It has over 1,300 animals! That is a lot of animals. The Philadelphia Zoo is also open the whole entire year except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The Philadelphia Zoo is good for all ages, including boys and girls. It is in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. While you are in Pennsylvania, and if you go here, your reason to visit this place could be to learn more about a bunch of different animals.
As a result of being in Pennsylvania you might also go to Kitchen Kettle Village. Kitchen Kettle Village is a small village with over 40 different shops. Some examples are the Kettle Cafe, the Lancaster Yarn Shop, Ten Thousand Villages, the Garnett Pottery Shop, and so much more. Kitchen Kettle Village is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is a good place to go on a sunny day for families of all ages, because it is outside. Kitchen Kettle Village is open from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m from Monday to Friday, and on on Saturdays they are open from 9:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m, although on Sundays they are closed. The only day of the week they are closed that is not a Sunday in 2017 is Christmas Day. Why might you go to Kitchen Kettle Village ? Well that is a great question. You could go, because it is free to get in. Plus like I said earlier there are over 40 shops with food, gifts, clothes, and more.
What might you do in Pennsylvania ? Go to the Turkey Hill Experience, go to the Philadelphia Zoo, or maybe go to Kitchen Kettle Village. Well I hope you have fun getting to know your new state, Pennsylvania.
So how was it ? Did you like everything I said ? Please leave a comment on what you thought. Happy Blogging !😃
How-To Make A Notebook (For Boys and Girls)
If you want to make an awesome and totally cute notebook then you have come to the right place. This how-to is definitely not just for girls. There are so many options on how to customize this notebook. To make this notebook you will obviously need a notebook. Now I know there are so many notebooks in this world, so any notebook will do. But you will also need some duct tape, any color is fine, and some letter stickers and some pretty big stickers. When I say "some pretty big stickers" I mean just some big stickers that you would want to put on a daily notebook.
The first step is to take your duct tape and place it over the cover horizontally so that it will cover about 2 inches in width of the notebook. When you are doing this if you have some extra tape you can either cut it off or just fold one end under the cover. With the extra tape on the other end you could just fold it around the fold of the book. Also when you are doing this it might not turn out completely straight so to fix this you could just take a ruler and measure out where the tape should go.
The second step is to take your customized stickers, not your letter stickers, and put them however you would like onto your notebook. Then with your letter stickers you could stick on your name, or write a little message along the side of the book. Once you have done all of this you are finished and now have an awesome notebook.
How-to Make A Geometric Mirror
Geometric Mirror: Inspired by LaurDIY
Today I will be telling you how to make a cool, awesome, and totally cute geometric mirror. To make this geometric mirror you will need a double sided mirror, ruler, some kind of decorative tape, and you will also need a utility knife. When making this geometric mirror you will need some parent supervision when using the utility knife.
First, you will need to take some of your decorative tape, and only cut about two and a half inches for the width, and about 5-7 inches for the length of the tape. The length and width all depend on how big your mirror is. Then place your tape onto a flat, smooth surface. Take your ruler and make a strip of tape about one fourth of an inch wide and 5-7 inches long. Please have parent supervision while doing this ! Then take that piece of tape and place in a straight, diagonal, vertical, or however you want to place it on the mirror. Obviously there will be an inch or so of tape left. Using the utility knife, carefully cut that piece of tape off. Once you do this a few times you will get the hang of it. You can repeat this process however much you want to. Once you are happy with how it looks, you now have your own geometric mirror.
Week 7 Blog Challenge: What I Will Do Once Leave School
Have you ever wondered what your future will be like ? Well I don't know about you, but I certainly have. During these times I have thought through about what I want to do when I get out of school. Have you ever had the same thoughts ? Well once I get out of school I have decided to start my own bakery. I am imagining that it will be called "Abby's Breakfast Bakery". If you are wondering, " Why would it be a breakfast bakery ?". Well if you thought that then you are a very good questioner. What I imagine is that my " breakfast bakery" is a place where no matter what time if the day it is you can always get breakfast. There will be eggs, omelets, pancakes, waffles, bacon, and so much more. But the catch is that after you finish the best breakfast you've ever had. You can get some pastries. For example, macaroons, cupcakes, cakes, cookies, etc.
Although I have learned that when I grow up I can't just buy an empty shop and start there. I have made up my own process on what to do as I get older. First I will have to develop the bakery. By " develop the bakery" I mean that I need to figure out what will be on the menu, and think of what the bakery will look like. Next, I need to start making simple recipes in my house. For me I have already started to make some breakfast items, and some pastries. After that, I will have to start saving up lots of money, because I will need to buy a shop. Then hire people to start helping me in the bakery. When you hire people to help you with a professional job you need to pay them a reasonable amount of money for what they are doing. Although I will need to work super hard to get through this process Well, this is what I am planning to do when I get older.

Passion Post: DIY Halloween
Today I am writing about one of my passions… DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES ! I chose to write about this topic, because I love to do DIY projects. For Halloween I was going to be the unicorn in the video, but my mom said that I wasn't allowed. Last year for Halloween I was a witch. It was kind of a DIY, but we got some face paint from Party City. Although my whole dress and hat were from my closet. I also like DIY projects, because you can look projects up on the internet, or even just think of your own and share them with other people. You can do whatever you want with these projects.
A final reason why I love doing DIY projects is, because there are so many things to do. You could make a costume, bird feeder, different foods, painted jars, stepping stones, lip balm, laundry detergent, garden stones, string lanterns, fairy gardens, bath salts, etc. There is so much to do with DIY projects.

The fact that your Isuzu Impulse has spark plugs wires means that it is either mechanically or electronically timed. The voltage necessary to ignite the air/fuel mixture in your combustion chamber is transferred from your distributor or ECU in a specific order to the spark plug via your Isuzu Impulse spark plug wires. Sometimes called high tension leads, these usually have a carbon fiber core wrapped in a fiberglass barrier, and covered with EPDM rubber for insulation from the heat in your engine.

511 F2d 1217 Securities and Exchange Commission v. North American Research and Development Corp
511 F.2d 1217
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff-Appellee,
NORTH AMERICAN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CORP. et al.,
Nos. 531, 798, Docket Nos. 74--1750, 74--1831.
United States Court of Appeals,
Second Circuit.
Argued Feb. 13, 1975.
Decided Feb. 24, 1975.
Sidney Schreiberg, New York City, for defendants-appellants White and North American Research and Development Corp.
Alfred Blumberg, pro se.
Richard E. Nathan, Asst. Gen. Counsel, S.E.C., Washington, D.C. (Lawrence E. Nerheim, Gen. Counsel, David Ferber, Sol., Richard O. Patterson, Atty., Washington, D.C., on the brief), for appellee.
Before HAYS and FEINBERG, Circuit Judges, and HOLDEN, District Judge.*
In this action brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), appellants White, Blumberg and North American Research and Development Corp. were enjoined by an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Edward Weinfeld, J., from committing further violations of various registration and anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws in connection with the offer and sale of shares in North American or any other securities. Judge Weinfeld wrote a thorough opinion,375 F.Supp. 465 (1974), detailing the fraudulent practices appellants had engaged in. We would affirm on the basis of that opinion alone,1 were it not for the claims pressed before us that appellants were denied due process by the application of Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(a)(2) in this case.
Appellants contend that they did not know at the time of the hearing at which preliminary injunctive relief was granted2 that the evidence then adduced would be used against them at the trial on the merits. But rule 65(a)(2) itself gives notice that this may be done.3 Judge Weinfeld also gave appellants adequate notice before the trial that he would rely on the preliminary hearing evidence. Appellants thus had the opportunity to object to inadmissible items, to recall and cross-examine SEC witnesses, to call defense witnesses, and otherwise to present a defense.
Appellants' most substantial argument is that the five-year time lapse and change in judges between the hearing on the preliminary injunction and the trial on the permanent injunction necessitated a de novo trial or at least a formal reading into the record of the transcript of the preliminary hearing. The 1966 Advisory Committee Note to the amendment of Rule 65 states that 'some repetition of testimony may be called for where the trial is conducted by a judge who did not hear the application for the preliminary injunction.' It is clear, however, that the decision on whether to have repetition of testimony is one for the sound discretion of the trial judge. Judge Weinfeld did not abuse his discretion. The parties were given 'a full opportunity to present evidence in the case.' 7 J. Moore, Federal Practice 65.04(4) at 65--66 (2d ed. 1948). Due process requires no more.4
Of the United States District Court for the District of Vermont, sitting by designation
That the SEC was required to meet a heavier burden at the trial on the merits than it did to obtain a preliminary injunction does not mean, as appellants contend, that the evidence which supported issuance of the latter is an insufficient basis for a permanent injunction. We agree with Judge Weinfeld that the evidence fully supports issuance of the permanent injunction
After a seven-day hearing before then District Judge Mansfield, he granted a preliminary injunction against White and North American but denied it as to Blumberg. 280 F.Supp. 106 (S.D.N.Y.1968). This court affirmed as to the former, but reversed as to Blumberg and remanded for further proceedings. 424 F.2d 63 (2d Cir. 1970). Thereafter, a preliminary injunction was entered against Blumberg. The SEC then sought to make the injunction against appellants permanent by moving for summary judgment. This was denied by Judge Motley, 59 F.R.D. 111 (S.D.N.Y.1972); see note 4 infra
Rule 65(a)(2) provides that even when consolidation of the preliminary injunction hearing and the trial on the merits is not ordered (it was not here), 'any evidence received upon an application for a preliminary injunction which would be admissible upon the trial on the merits becomes part of the record on the trial and need not be repeated upon the trial.'
Judge Motley's opinion denying summary judgment, see note 2 supra, was based primarily on due process considerations and construction of Rule 65(a) (2). She did not allow the preliminary hearing testimony to be used as the basis for granting summary judgment against appellants, although she pointed out that the SEC was free under Rule 65(a)(2) to use that evidence at the trial on the merits. Now that the SEC has followed that suggestion, the due process considerations are completely different, since appellants have had the opportunity to litigate fully all issues of fact and law. As Judge Motley wrote, 'defendants were rightfully entitled to expect that they would have a further day in court' after the preliminary injunction hearing. 59 F.R.D. at 114. Appellants now have had their trial before judge Weinfeld. It is no denial of due process if they chose not to present any evidence there

FUTURE CAPE TOWN | Planning the Cycling City
When one realises that a cycle lane barely wide enough for a car can move as many people as a four-lane highway – and in total silence – it is hard to think of sprawling, car-dependent societies as a utopia of personal freedoms. Brett Petzer shares his experiences and thoughts on planning the Cycling City.

Hello and thank you for the opportunity to assist you. My name is ***** ***** I will do my very best to answer your legal questions.
If the debt isn't yours, and they won't work it out with you, then you can stop paying, wait for a garnishment, and then sue the lender for the false garnishment. You should be sure to document your attempts to communicate with the lender and to get this situation straightened out so that the judge sees that you attempted to get the lender to do the right thing, and they refused. But hopefully it won't come to that ... I would only sue as a last resort. Until then, I would continue your efforts to get them to see that they've made a mistake.
Does that answer your question? Please let me know if you need clarification, as I am happy to continue helping you until you are satisfied.

Death to Those Who Sell Homes to Jews
Posted By Arnold Ahlert On April 25, 2012 @ 12:20 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 38 Comments
Muhammad Abu Shahala is a former Palestinian intelligence officer who, after reportedly being tortured, admitted committing a capital offense. As a result he has been sentenced to death. His "crime"? He sold his home in Hebron on the West Bank to Jews. Under Palestinian law, all that awaits Shahala's rendezvous with destiny is the approval of the sentence by Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas. Who is trying to save him? Jewish officials, who are attempting to get the international community involved.
An open letter authored by David Wilder and Noam Arnon of the Jewish Community of Hebron addressed to U.N Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and other officials notes that "Mr. Muhammad Abu Shahala, a former intelligence agent for the Palestinian Authority, has been sentenced to death, following a hurried trial. His crime: selling property to Jews in Hebron." The letter continues:
Mr. Abu Shahala reportedly confessed following torture sessions at the hands of his captors. The death sentence can be executed only following concurrence by Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, president of the PA. After he signs the death warrant, Abu Shahala may be killed.
It is appalling to think that property sales should be defined as a "capital crime" punishable by death. The very fact that such a "law" exists within the framework of the PA legal system points to a barbaric and perverse type of justice, reminiscent of practices implemented during the dark ages.
The letter then poses a pertinent question. "Is the Palestinian Authority a reincarnation of the Third Reich?" it asks.
Noted columnist Caroline Glick provides an answer to that question. "The PA (Palestinian Authority) was established in May 1994," Glick writes. "The first law it adopted defined selling land to Jews as a capital offense. Shortly thereafter scores of Arab land sellers began turning up dead in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria in both judicial and extrajudicial killings."
A report by the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) contends that, before the creation of the PA, the decree had been in effect since before the creation of Israel in 1948. If CBN is correct, it reveals an inconvenient truth: the kind of irrational hatred that would make selling one's home to a Jew an offense punishable by death pre-dated the creation of the Jewish State. Such a reality blasts a giant hole in the seemingly intractable belief among Western leaders that all of the region's ongoing animosity is the result of Israel's policies toward Palestinians — or that such animosity can be quelled by any "peace process."
The dispute at hand goes back to 2007, when 20 Jewish families moved into the Hebron house claiming they had "bought it from its Palestinian owner." At that time, the Palestinian owner, who remained unnamed in several stories about the dispute, claimed the house had been illegally seized. In a hearing in October of 2008, the settlers presented the court with an audio tape on which the owner admits he had sold the house to a realtor. The High Court of Justice was unmoved and order the eviction to proceed.
The ongoing dispute continued to fester until April 2, 2012, when the settlers were ordered to leave the house by the Israeli Civil Administration. Officials contended that the sale violated public order in what has been declared a restricted military zone, tellingYnet News that the eviction order was issued "due to security concerns" and that such a sale "poses a threat to the stability of the area." They further contended that even if the house had been purchased legally, the contract still requires the authorization of the defense minister. On April 3, Prime Minister Netanyahu delayed the court-ordered eviction in order to give settlers time to prove their ownership. At that time it was first reported that the unidentified Palestinian seller was "a former PA security officer who lives in the Gaza Strip," who had "been detained by the PA for months now, while the affair is being sorted out." The article further noted that as a result of selling the house, "[H]e is expected to serve a prolonged prison sentence."
On April 6th, the Jewish settlers were finally evicted, and the three-story building has been sealed until an Israeli court can establish the legal owner. The settlers have remained camped in tents near the house since their expulsion.
None of this apparently matters to PA authorities. Abu Shahala remains on death row for the "crime" of selling real estate to Jews, even as the sale itself remains in dispute in an Israeli court. It remains to been seen if PA president Mahmoud Abbas will sign his death warrant, or whether any international pressure will be brought to bear in the case. The above letter was published ten days ago, suggesting international inertia at best–or calculated indifference at worst.
Yet it is telling that Mr. Shahla's most ardent defenders are Jews, including, as Arutz Sheva reported on April 15th, "several Israeli Knesset Members and leaders in Judea and Samaria," while those who would kill him are his fellow Palestinians. In 1957, former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said, Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.
That day has yet to arrive.

These Palestinians who want to execute a man for selling his home to a Jew are the same people that Hillary and Obama think they can deal with and the same people we send forign aid to.
Nuff said.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Just give the Palestinians Sinai. Help them build a truly green country to show the world how it would look using green technology. They would have ports for trade, they can use Israeli technology for agriculture and once all this is set up we can move the UN there.
Hahahahahahaha.......... Sometimes I crack myself up.
Death for selling property to Jews?
Repeat after me, "All cultures are equal! All cultures are equal! All cultures are equal! All cultures are equal! All cultures are equal!"
This is the same religion that says it's okay for men to have sex with their dead wives.
Islam is a peaceful religion. Islam is a peaceful religion.etc etc
Only Jew haters and Israel under a magnifying glass gets any blown out of proportion coverage.

South Korea's Shin Jiyai chases her second women's British Open title on top of the world and on top of her game.
Two years ago when she won at Sunningdale she was barely known outside her own country.
Now fresh from winning the Evian Masters in France on Sunday she is ranked world number one again and Royal Birkdale, starting on Thursday, holds no great fears.
"I love links golf and it would be great to win this major again," the 22-year-old Shin told reporters.
"When I won at Sunningdale two years ago it made a really big change in my life. Up until then getting to play on the LPGA Tour was just a dream.
"It gave me so much confidence and just made a huge difference to everything."
Shin experienced links golf for the first time at last year's British Open at Royal Lytham, finishing a creditable eighth behind Scotland's Catriona Matthew.
"I think I like this course better," she said. "There are not so many blind shots. But I love links golf. You have to wear so many clothes and think of lots of different shots."
Shin's win in Evian was the first this season and it came just six weeks after an emergency appendix operation.
"I felt ready to play about two weeks ago -- Sunday proved I was ready to win again," she said.
Paula Creamer, winner of the U.S. women's Open three weeks ago, is another seeking a second major after a season of injury. The 23-year-old had a thumb operation at the start of the year and is still not fully fit.
"Last week (in Evian) was difficult and I wasn't sure if I could practice on Monday," she said. "But it's not too bad."
She added: "When I was out injured there was a black cloud hanging over me. After surgery you never know if you are going to be able to play again, never mind compete at the highest level.
"Winning (the U.S, Open) at Oakmont was such a breakthrough. I had come close to winning majors before, but now I know what it takes to actually do it. It has definitely lifted my expectations."
Matthew, who won the title at Lytham 11 weeks after she gave birth to a second daughter was another in confident mood.
"I'm feeling great and have looked forward to this week all year," she said. "I love the course and my game is in pretty good shape."

After Hurricane Katrina, Robertson linked the disaster to legalized abortion and said that Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. can "be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good" since "the focus of America is going to be on these [hurricane] victims."
Now, with the possibility of thousands of casualties following the earthquake in Haiti, listen to Robertson's characteristic response:
Robertson: It may be a blessing in disguise. There may be a massive rebuilding of that country. ...Christy, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, Napoleon III or whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said we will serve you if you get us free from the French. True story. So the devil said okay it's a deal, so the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since then they have been cursed by one thing after another.
So just as John Roberts should be thankful for Katrina, the hurricane in Haiti may be "a blessing in disguise" because the buildings may be spruced up. Tell that to Jeudy Francia, a Haitian woman who pleaded, ""Please save my baby! There is no one, nothing, no medicines, no explanations for why my daughter is going to die."
Note that in the midst of what purports to be a history lesson, Robertson refers to "Napoleon III or whatever." It was Napoleon Bonaparte. In any event, Robertson's explanation for the hurricane's origins combines blaming the victims with sheer nonsense. Today's disaster is caused by Haitians who revolted against their colonialist European masters and made a deal with the devil? How is it that thousands listen to this buffoon?

I'm required to disclose a sponsored partnership between our site and Bing. I have been compensated in exchange for this post in the form of payment, product or experiences.
Technology has hit American kitchens in a big way over the past few years, and I don't know about you but I love it. While I still love my print cookbooks, they are not all that practical when you
are trying to put together a party or event. Who has the time to flip through all those books, to find a few great appetizers and some festive cocktails. Doing a search on a typical search engine will supply you with a large array of links, but many are not actually useful. If your cooking while looking things up on a tablet, by this point your poor device is probably crusted in food… ugh.
I want easy and elegant, which is just what the Food & Drink App from Bing is. It is available in the new Windows 8.1 upgrade (which if you haven't done the update yet, you really should… so much better than the straight 8). Here are a few screen shots of the pages you are likely to come across while planning a holiday cocktail party with the Food & Drink App .
This Winter Pomello Margarita looked like a refreshing option, that would appeal to a wide variety of people.
To assemble the easy cocktail party menu, I just set up a folder folder and added cocktail and appetizer recipes (the first button on the bottom bar adds a recipe to category folder of your choice) . It took all of about 10 minutes to select the party fare. Winter Pomello Margaritas would be the featured cocktail, with eggnog (spiked or not) as a festive option as well. For Appetizers, I picked Cheese Straws and Spicy Party Pecans as readily available "pickys" and Crostini with Green Olive Tapenade, Scallops Skewered with Parma Ham, Chorizo Sliders and Skewered Honey-Balsamic Chicken. All seemed relatively "tidy" options, with lots of variety.
There are plenty of options in the Bing Food & Drink App , and results can be filtered by options such as course, ease and ingredients.
When it comes time to prepare your selections, the Food & Drink App really sets itself apart. Just activate the hands free mode, and the camera on your device will swipe the pages for you as you pass your hand in front of it… no more flour and oil on your screen or keyboard. Neat trick, isn't it? That isn't all though, the Food & Drink App from Bing also has an extensive wine guide and instructional videos collection.
Why not check out this useful free app for yourself. What would your first search be for?

Our Spiceworks scans are pulling a lot of Unknown Devices, which we're certain do not exist. We've updated to 5.2.74205, but still get the phantom devices.
Our branch subnets have switches that couldn't possibly accommodate the number of devices found, and there is no wireless hardware to possibly account for them either.
Much of our infrastructure consists of Cisco switches - I wonder if somehow they're related? Perhaps the way traffic is handled gives Spiceworks scans the impression that an IP address is active when it isn't.
I'm attaching verbose scan logs, as recommended in a previous thread.
Oct 6, 2011 at 6:44 UTC
Weird indeed. We've seen a few cases before (as you saw), and typically they can be resolved by tweaking the way Spiceworks does its pinging during the scan.
Shutdown Spiceworks and make a backup of this file:
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Spiceworks\data\settings.yaml"
Then edit the original changing this:
:sweep_ping: 3.17
:sweep_ping: false
Save the file and startup Spiceworks. Then cleanup any phantom devices and run a scan to see if we have the same entries for pinging (up?).
This topic was created during version 5.2.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.
12 Replies
Oct 3, 2011 at 1:36 UTC
Not sure if it is related, I have seen this in the past with some of the older versions.
SW finds the devices by an initial ping sweep based off of the scan entry range you entered. If it can ping an IP, it thinks a device is there and then will try all login info.
You could check steps 1-3 of this,
Give that a shot and see if it helps.
Oct 3, 2011 at 1:45 UTC
As it's scanning and recognizing Unknown devices, I've tried pinging those IPs from the machine Spiceworks runs on and get a time out from the majority of them.
Does it ever add a device if not responding to ping?
Oct 3, 2011 at 2:22 UTC
No it shouldn't but with that said, one of your devices could be responding to the ping sweep, for instance, say a Cisco router setup to provide DHCP, it may be sending out a response if it thinks it is actually a request from SW.
Oct 3, 2011 at 2:27 UTC
Thanks, Jay. That's my best guess so far... Ben.B was offering me help on another thread and asked that I create a new one. Hopefully he'll have some insight. :-)
Oct 3, 2011 at 2:36 UTC
Shoot him a PM to this thread and he can jump in. Curious to see what his thoughts are.
Here is his profile page, just click the "Send Message" in the upper right.
Oct 3, 2011 at 3:47 UTC
He and I have been in touch via PM. I'm sure he'll jump in when he's able.
Thanks for the guidance, though!
Oct 6, 2011 at 4:16 UTC
Hey Ken,
Take a look at your latest finder_child.log. Look at the lines that read:
- D[13:44:58.87 7bf1ec] x.x.x2.121 up? false
(Note I removed part of the IP address and replaced with Xs)
This tells us which IP's respond as "Up" and which respond as "Down". "up? false" means there was no response to the ping, and "up? true" means there was a response to the ping that we determined to mean "device present".
Are these accurate based on what you know about DHCP in your environment?
Oct 6, 2011 at 5:58 UTC
Looking specifically at one of our branches, exclusions from the DHCP are as follows for the 23.x subnet:
ip dhcp excluded-address x.x.23.1 x.x.23.50
ip dhcp excluded-address x.x.23.200 x.x.23.254
DHCP shouldn't be assigning 1-50 or 200-254
For 1 - 20, the only real devices should be on 23.1, 23.2 and 23.12... which do show true. But so does every other IP address throughout the range.
D[06:00:57.44 7bf1ec] x.x.23.1 up? true
D[06:00:57.44 7bf1ec] x.x.23.2 up? true
D[06:00:57.44 7bf1ec] x.x.23.3 up? true

I find it peculiar that it alternates true, false, true, false for the most part... except for the 3 valid IPs in the first 20 addresses of the range.
It continues that pattern through the entire subnet... I just didn't feel like editing the entire list. ;-)
Anything showing true in that list that is not 23.1, 23.2 or 23.12 is absolutely wrong. Does not exist, never existed, is not a DHCP lease, does not respond to ping, etc..
I've tried pinging these phantom devices while watching the network scan progress... stuff that it finds does not respond to my ping, even when running the ping from the same machine we have Spiceworks installed on.
Weird, right?
Oct 6, 2011 at 6:44 UTC
Weird indeed. We've seen a few cases before (as you saw), and typically they can be resolved by tweaking the way Spiceworks does its pinging during the scan.
Shutdown Spiceworks and make a backup of this file:
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Spiceworks\data\settings.yaml"
Then edit the original changing this:
:sweep_ping: 3.17
:sweep_ping: false
Save the file and startup Spiceworks. Then cleanup any phantom devices and run a scan to see if we have the same entries for pinging (up?).
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:11 UTC
Looking great, Ben. I think that did it.
I'm still waiting for the scan to finish, but normally by now I'd see 300+ Unknown devices, whereas there are now 30 and all of them respond to ping.
Thanks so much for your help!
Oct 7, 2011 at 2:33 UTC
Great! I'm glad that took care of it. It should be safe to leave that setting in place indefinitely.
Scans may take slightly longer to complete, but at least you won't have the unknowns to deal with!

1st Post
I know this is an old post.. but I ran in the exact same problem.
Within the lan-subnet Spicework works correctly, but through our firewall, the whole subnet behind that was seen as "valid".
To give you an image:
Spicework runs in the 192.168.1.1 net, within our LAN.
The endpoint is the SBS server, which "NATS" the net to the WAN.
The WAN goes to our firewalls LAN-1.
The firewall itself and the WAN of the SBS are net 192.168.10.1 and .178 (so, nothing else there, only 2 IPs).
The LAN-2 of the firewall is our next department, which has 192.168.2.x net.
Now.. that net has only 10 devices.
However, Spiceworks shows me from both the whole subnet as ? 192.168.2.xx
Windows firewall or permission issue (119 Devices)
%uFEFFThese devices couldn't be inventoried.(200 Devices).
When I ping from any PC to a couple of Unknown Devices, I dont get anything back..
For example, on one subnet there are only 2 devices, directly connected by one UTP.
Something weirds starting when Spiceworks does a can through ISA NAT->Firewall->Subnet 2.
I followed this tip, by changing ping sweep to false, but it hasn't any effect.. Spicework is taking a lot of time to do a scan and the "errors" at the left side increasing fast.
Just started and now already it shows: Windows firewall or permission issue (55 Devices)
Failed to establish connection to WMI service.%uFEFF
What else can I do?

This week, J Crew's hip(ster) little sister, Madewell, introduced its first line by British trendsetter Alexa Chung. I'd read about the collaboration in January when the Daily Mail published this article, so I was curious to see how things would end up (If the NY Post and Life & Style had a British lovechild, it would be the Daily Mail. But it feels classier because hey, they've got a Royals section. Ha!)
For those of you who don't obsessively read the British tabloids, Alexa Chung is a popular young girl-about-town in London. She's a "Presenter" for MTV, which in Brit-speak means she hosts TV shows. I've never actually seen footage of her on TV, but across the pond she's quite an "it" girl when it comes to fashion. Not buttoned-up high designer fashion and tottering heels like Posh Spice, but impossibly cool, "I just threw this on" type of downtown fashion.
Of course, a picture says a thousand words, so here are a few.
Admittedly, I still don't see how the pink ruffled tiered satin prom dress fits into her aesthetic. But the dress on the right is certainly more representative.
Ah, those lucky Brits are always getting to sport "festival attire" (left)- which is basically anything hip paired with wellies.
She's even got her own Mulberry bag named after her, the Alexa.
It looks like the Madewell collection has thus far been a success, since quite a few of the pieces are sold out. Not everything is translatable to everyday life...for example, no matter how much I embrace my inner indie style, I just don't think I'll sport the Striped Poly Coverall Dress.
However, most of the other pieces would certainly find a front & center spot in my closet- they seem perfect for adding a little downtown edge to an otherwise conservative wardrobe.
Love the short silhouette of this double breasted Diana Cropped Jacket.
This Harriet Pintuck Dress reminds me of something Michelle Williams would wear. A touch of Marc Jacobs influence, perhaps.
You could style the Betty Tea Dress in quite a few different ways. It could go uptown/polished with a chunky pearl necklace and Lauren Merkin clutch. Or, as shown here, it gets a cooler edge to it with a casual brown belt and tights/booties.
These Christian Skinny Jeans in Pebble Wash are sold out. I like the higher rise. There is nothing worse than skinny jeans that sit super low, because once they stretch out, you're forever pulling them up at the risk of looking like a plumber!
The Tennessee Dotted Velvet Dress also looks very versatile for fall.
What do you think of the new Alexa Chung for Madewell Collection? Would you wear it head to toe? Incorporate a few key pieces? Or is it not "pretty" enough for you? We want to know!

"Criminals who use the Zeus banking crimeware may be working on an new angle: corporate espionage.
That's what worries Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics with the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has been closely monitoring the various criminal groups that use Zeus. Zeus typically steals online banking credentials and then uses that information to move money out of Internet accounts. In the past year, however, Warner has seen some Zeus hackers also try to figure out what companies their victims work for."

Well it was the only "decent" swimsuit I approved of lol. Some of the baby swimsuits are little too "mature" for my taste. Then again, I could just be old fashioned that way. She's gonna hate me when she's a teenager I'm sure!
Now that looks like someone who loves the pool!

15 January 1909, Chicago, Illinois, USA, d. 16 October 1973, New York City, New York, USA. Krupa began playing drums as a child and after his mother failed to persuade him to become a priest, most of his large family actively encouraged his career in music. He studied formally, his most important teacher being Roy C. Knapp. However, growing up in Chicago in the 20s meant that he was inevitably drawn to jazz. He listened to relocated New Orleans masters such as Baby Dodds, Zutty Singleton and Tubby Hall. In his teens he played in several local dance bands, among them those led by Al Gale, Joe Kayser, Thelma Terry and Mezz Mezzrow and the Benson Orchestra.
In 1927, Krupa made his first records in a band nominally fronted by visitor Red McKenzie but actually organized by Eddie Condon whose record debut this also was. This session is reputed to be the first on which a drummer used a bass drum and tom-toms (engineers feared the resonance would...

By Pierre-Paul Pariseau
"This fall, for the first time, the United States placed seven types of bees under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. It was the latest development in a decade-long saga of bee colonies dying off and governments scrambling to save them. Pesticides, invasive species, loss of habitat, and climate change threaten hives—and, consequently, parts of our food supply: Every year, billions of dollars in U.S. crops depend on bee pollination. Here, I depict a scene of slaughter. The fluorescent colors denote urgency; the bees' outsize figures point to the vital role they, and their deaths, play in nature. My hope is to deliver a warning that although these creatures are tiny, what's happening to them is a drama of massive proportions."

Listen to the boating industry: double the boat ramps
Listen to the boating industry: double the boat ramps
The Country Alliance party says a push to double the number of boat ramps will be a key issue at next year's Victorian state election following a government back down on the matter.
Senate candidate, Andrew Jones, said Victoria's 170,000 boat owners are getting fed up with the lack of launching facilities and the government's refusal to talk about it.
"The Liberal / National Coalition promised to make Victoria a leader in recreational boating facilities in the lead up to the 2010 state election", he said.
"The government recently met with the industry representatives led by the Boating Industry Association, and the response they got was that the government would not do anything about it unless they read about it in the papers. Well, here it is, in the papers"
Mr Jones challenged the government to match and implement Country Alliance's own policy of doubling the number of boat ramps. He said Victoria has about half the number of ramps per registered boats than New South Wales, and even less than other states. He said a 2007 study commissioned by the Boating Industry Association showed that improving boating facilities would make a significant contribution to the state's economy.
"Doubling the number of boat ramps is not an ambit claim, but based on necessity for both boaties who pay than more their fair share in fees and for the state looking to support viable industries," he said.
"Clearly they don't get it. We do, and we stand right beside the BIA in making sure the voice of Victorians who love a day on the water are heard."

Although information systems security is acknowledged as one of technology's most critical areas of need, there is a sizable gap between available technical approaches to security and the capabilities of current commercial products. This reflects acknowledged issues in technology transfer. The author, a veteran of both information security research and commercial security product venture capital organizations, provides a discussion of the motivations and considerations associated with this part of the technology transfer world.

As Aristotle noted some 2400 years ago, "Happiness is the one thing we choose for its own sake – everything else is chosen for the sake of happiness." One of the hottest topics in contemporary culture is happiness. The explanation for this current fixation seems to lie in the contrary phenomenon – unhappiness. Despite the fact that we have tremendous access to every imaginable form of entertainment, we experience a pervading sense of insecurity, emptiness, and malaise amid sporadic peak experiences.
This book is built upon Fr. Spitzer's brilliant, "Four Levels of Happiness". Developed over many years, the "Four Levels of Happiness" are based on works of the worlds most famous historical and contemporary philosophers, classical thinkers and psychologists. Finding True Happiness is both a philosophical itinerary and a practical guidebook for life's most important journey – from the mundane and the meaningless to transcendent fulfillment.
"With reason, with the logic of both mind and the heart, Robert Spitzer not only convinces us that happiness is within everyone's grasp but also shows us how to seize it. This is an intelligent, warm and life-changing book." Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times Best Selling Author.

There are no dearth of SEO analysis tools on the web but they only give you bits and pieces of information. SpyderMate almost changes the game by giving a meticulously detailed view of any website. It starts with giving you an overall SEO scorecard for a particular site. The scorecard includes industry standard statistics like Alexa rank, number of Google keywords, number of unique backlinks, domain authority, but it also analyzes all of these to come up with a specific SpyderMate SEO score that factors in all these elements. You can also see how the domain has been performing overtime for each of these scores.
The next feature of SpyderMate called "Auditor" tells you what issues there are, how severe they are and how to fix them. These are issues that impact your website's SEO. You can drill down on each issue to view further details. Another feature called SERP Tracker not only lets you track your rankings in major search engines but also lets you do that for your competitor. You can also trend the rankings over time to gain a better perspective.
One of the most amazing features of the tool, however, is the "Low Hanging Fruit" part of the report. It identifies keyword opportunities, and tells you which keywords have the most potential. You can also see how different keywords are being targeted. Moreover, the SEMRush report tells you what keywords a domain is ranking for in Google, what the search volume is, the average CPC for a keyword and which keywords are driving the most traffic to your website.
The tool comes with a 30 day trial membership that is free, but right now SpyderMate is giving away 10 free accounts ( for six months each ) to our readers. The accounts will be given to first 10 commenters.
- Get a detailed SEO analysis for any website.
- See quantitative rankings and scores.
- See how keywords are performing and get recommendations.
- Discovery SEO issues and how to fix them.

Here, let em follow up on this since you haven't: when are we going to be contacted about these accounts?
Looks very interesting, i would signup if i do qualify for the 6 month account
May I ask when we'll be contacted about this?
That free account for 6 months is really appealing! Can I have one too?
i agree, 100 would be a better ratio ......... i hope that there is still one left for me.
Very timely and would love a free account.
Any free accounts left? I'd love one for my company!
Super cool, need to try it out asap. can we increase the number of giveaways?
We must try this!
This is relevant to my interests as well!
Would love a trial
A free account would be lovely :)
This looks like a great tool. I would love to use it.
I would like a copy of it.
This is a really interesting concept.
We will get in touch with you.
It would be interesting to see how this consolidated view would simplify things compared to aggregating the data available now
I was just trying to get some good SEO advice, great tool!
Looks very interesting - just finished a subscription to Keyword Country so on the lookout for a new SEO package... 6 months sounds like a great period of time to test it over, looking forward to trying it out.
Sounds like a great and useful tool. I'm a content marketer so I work closely with SEO, and I think this service sounds unique
Is this aimed at the "sophisticated" SEO manager or does it aim to bring in the "casual" or "rookie" user? Key point for me as I try to move from "casual" to "sophisticated"...and in SEO managing as well.
so how does this compare or compete with Google Analytics?

Microsoft knocks Google's Android for "copying" Apple's iOS
0. phoneArena posted on 29 Oct 2012, 12:52
It's an accusation that we've heard before, mostly from Steve Jobs, but Microsoft has also taken the time to jab at Google and its Android OS. During the announcement for Windows Phone 8, Joe Belfiore took a swing at Android, claiming the OS copied Apple's UI and that design in those companies has "stagnated"...

live wallpaper as in live tile, not as in an animated piece of s.... that is useless and sucks the life out of your battery...

I believe he was referring to the lock screen giving info which there are live tiles that do the same and we can't really talk about battery life until its released

M$ you're such a joke the only reason you're so jealous of ANDROID is because it's better than you and iOS plus it have better hardware and processor (opinion in processor). You ONLY SUE ANDROID because you're afraind youre not getting too many developers making apps for your Windows OS even though it's nice but get your head out of your a$$ and you're stupid ego is too big.

the point of customization comes in when the stock OS is ugly and pathetic + fragmented all over the mobile. i seens all these OS and android is most random Wp is atlest well sorted easy to find stuff no matter how long the list is.But over 5 years randomness has become trend u can stay in android OS + android articles and stop showing up on wp articles this shows ur either not satisfied with ur beloved Android or u dont have anything to do other then bashing
56. Aeires (unregistered)
You are mad, bro. No question about it.
Not only talking hot air with your nonsense about Android, but it was MS who was doing the bashing here. If you don't like Android, that's fine, just stop making up nonsense to build up your Windows phone.

u are the first andoid person i think who actually did not trolled. I found most android guys only trolling. and if u seens wp in action nothing is nonesense it is well designed and solid stuff i tried android but found out it is no differnt from symbian S60 UI so i never bothered it yet every one forced me to buy android like i am using their money to buy wp so i actully dont hate android but the stupid Fandroids around me, i have not that big issue with android i just hate noobs trying to impose their favourate stuff on others

The only thing I don't like about WP is the tiles. Other than that, it's a great OS, just young and lacking a few things due to its age. It'll get there though, it's come a long way so far. I actually recommended a WP to a co-worker. His wife was looking at it or an iPhone so I recommended a Lumia. She loves it.

Right. So... Microsoft... You just make me more determined to divorce myself from your products the more you speak. Keep talking trash as sales of Windows 8 tank.
