I don't have some of my "notes" on XP with me today, but I'll try to help.
Port 135 is the RPC port or "endpointmapper". To close this port make sure that you disable "netBios over TCP" in your network properties.(TCP/IP should be the only protocol installed). I would also disable the server and workstation services if this is a standalone computer.
Port 389 ,1720 and 1002 are used by Netmeeting to establish remote communications. You should turn off any "remote desktop or messenger" services in the "services" icon (found in "administrative tools") if you don't use netmeeting or the new XP "remote" desktop feature. I would also check that your not running ILS or "Internet Locator server".
Port 5000 is the UpnP services. Microsoft released a security advisory on
Universal Plug and Play and you should download the patch for it.( also disable this service if you don't need it) Go here for more details: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...n/MS01-054.asp
Port 1025 is proably being assigned by the RPC service. ( proably being used by MStask.exe) Turning off the other services I talked about should close this port as well.
Download FPORT to map ports back to the programs that opened them.
As for ZA....I didn't think ZA worked with XP.

Fromevale Homes
Company - A description about your company
Anthony Fear trading as Fromevale Properties has a rental division in Somerset letting around 35 properties owned by the proprietor.
The Challenge - The problems you had and what you were looking for
We invested a large amount in a property management system from a competitor around 4-years ago, costing £3000, plus an annual fee of £600.00 to maintain the support and updates. The system was complicated, impossible to install without the competitors technicians. The System was full of bugs, slow, unreliable and was simply not compatible with our needs. We found that we were doubling our accounting workload because our previous property management software could not link to sage 50. We would need to enter the account information in both on sage, and the letting software. This was time consuming, and created a higher risk of errors being made.
The Solution - Why you chose Landlord Manager
When we discovered our previous provider was not going to make any immediate changes or improvements to the software we looked extensively at many alternatives. We were looking for something which was affordable because of what we had already invested, yet affective for our needs. There would be no point investing in a property management solution just because it was affordable. We needed a solution which would not only manage our property portfolio, but would maintain our accounts also. We decided to try Landlord-Manager for Sage in April 2010
Benefit - How your company has benefited from using Landlord Manager for Sage
We trialed Landlord-Manager for 30-days extensively and found that everything we needed was built in to one package. Landlord-Manager for Sage connected to Sage very effectively, and allows us to view tenant accounts without opening Sage, view profit and loss, and financial information, which previously could only be viewed within Sage after being entered manually. Some financial reports are viewed more easily in Landlord Manager rather than Sage such as profit and loss by property
In regards to property management, the software manages every aspect of the property throughout the tenancy from start to finish. The areas we were interested in were the setup of a tenancy, communication with tenants with letter generation and templates, property maintenance including repairs, safety issues including reminders for inspections, and gas safe checks, rent arrears including reminders and arrears reporting, key press information, utility meter readings, commutation with suppliers, utility providers, contractors, and authorities, invoice schedules and posting on to sage.
During the trial, we were impressed with how user friendly the entire package was. It's daunting with any new major change to a company's account/management software, which is why Visionbase Software provided us with unlimited support. We found the UK based support extremely beneficial and friendly, and we have developed an excellent relationship with them. Fromevale properties would gladly recommend Landlord-Manager for Sage.

A complete history of the joke and its philosophical motivations will perhaps never be written, as Holt admits that "the joke is not an unchanging Platonic Ideal, but a historical form that evolves over time." Holt, a contributor to the New Yorker, tries anyway, tracking the joke's evolution from the oldest surviving joke book, the surprisingly blue Greek text Philogelos, to Freud and Kant in explaining how and why we laugh at jokes. The book's second half occasionally lapses into dryness; even Holt suggests that the more interesting a subject is, the more boring the accompanying philosophy. In examining two overlooked aspects of a common joke, Holt presents some illuminating thoughts—jokes evolve more than they are created; they are an ideal way to expel pent-up aggression—and fascinating fringe figures such as Gershon Legman, the controversial and pioneering dirty-joke archivist who saw himself as "the keeper of the deepest subcellar in the burning Alexandria Library of the age; the subcellar of our secret desires, which no one else was raising so much as a finger to preserve." Highly readable, Holt's effort will appeal to the intellectually curious, and the jokes are pretty funny. (July)

A non-profit office manager is a professional who is responsible for all sort of administrative tasks within an organization. The duty of an office manager generally varies according to the type and size of the organization. An office manager ensures the smooth functioning of the internal and external system of the organization by periodically reviewing the coordination between the various employees.
Here are the detailed job responsibilities of a non-profit office manager:
- Calculating the payrolls and judging the hiring process of the new employees.
- Developing budgets and planning future strategies in collaboration with the group of directors.
- Monitoring the mails of clients, maintaining regular contacts with the clients and maintaining all the relevant files.
- Developing event planning strategies.
- Administering the non-profit tax returns, master contracts, insurance policy renewals and the pupil records.
As a whole, it can be said that the role as an office manager requires supervising the various tasks that are being carried out in an organization. For this, the job applicants should have that much of experience and expertise in the field. They should be well acquainted with all the major and minor aspects of the business organization.
The educational qualification that is required for the role of office manager is a Bachelors degree with finance background. A master's degree in business administration adds more value to the job applicant.

Opinion: MedWest hospital affiliation may be best chance for survival
Count me among those who hope the MedWest affiliation between Haywood, Jackson and Swain hospitals survives. It's been a tumultuous four years for the hospitals in the counties west of Buncombe. Despite the bumps in the road, though, there seems now at least a path—via the management contract with Carolinas HealthCare—for the three hospitals to move into the future serving pretty much the same role in their communities they've been serving for decades. But by my estimation I think Haywood, Jackson and Swain counties deserve their own hospitals with their own specialists and their own medical communities. We share a lot, but each county can support its own hospital. And the best chance for that to happen is by working together.

The purpose of this program is to ensure that parents of children with disabilities receive training and information to help improve results for their children. Awards are made for parent information centers, community parent centers, and for technical assistance to such centers.
Previous awards are available at: http://www2.ed.gov/programs/oseppic/awards.html.

New on CD: Zombie returns to 'Hellbilly' days
By the writers of Last Word Features
Rob Zombie: 'Hellbilly Deluxe 2'
??? 1/2
Coming in the wake of the demise of his band, White Zombie, the original "Hellbilly Deluxe" album showed that Rob Zombie was going to do just fine as a solo artist. Now, a dozen years after that 1998 solo debut for Zombie, comes the sequel, titled – what else? – "Hellbilly Deluxe 2."
Zombie told this writer he had considered doing a second "Hellbilly Deluxe" album for years, but didn't go into this project with the sequel in mind. Then he realized the songs were taking on a familiar "Hellbilly Deluxe" flavor. What that means is that even moreso than on his other solo discs, Zombie unleashes plenty of horror-esque lyrics (note songs like "Jesus Frankenstein" and "Werewolf, Baby!) and a particular heavy sound built around thick guitar chords that have a decidedly sinister quality.
What makes songs like "Sick Bubble Gum," the aforementioned "Werewolf, Baby!" and "What?" work so well is that Zombie hasn't forgotten to include the trademark catchy guitar riffs that have long sweetened his sound. So while Zombie revels in all sorts of campy horror motifs (and some suitably bloody artwork for the CD), "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" is mostly a fun, delightfully twisted and very listenable trip into the B-movie world that gives Zombie's music such personality. – Alan Sculley

Allison Moorer: 'Crows'
Allison Moorer has a beautifully nuanced voice capable of delivering both a sweet soprano and a dusky mid-range. But her songwriting is inconsistent, and the fact that she wrote 12 of "Crow's" 13 cuts weakens the album.
It starts out promisingly enough with "Abalone Sky" and the jazzy "Goodbye to the Ground" (on which she sounds not unlike her sister, Shelby Lynne). But "Just Another Fool" has almost laughably bad lyrics, and on the ballad "Easy in the Summertime," the line "they make me wanna rock 'n' roll" never sounded less, well, rock 'n' roll. "Like the Rain" is pretty and delicate, and she carries the jazz/blues ballad "Should I Be Concerned" well enough. But the poppy "The Broken Girl" seems awash in lost potential, like she's trying to step out of herself but is unsure where to go.
Unlike the crows Moorer sings of, these songs rarely take full wing, so the album never soars. — Lynne Margolis

HIM: 'Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice'
Even before "Screamworks" debuts in the states, the album has generated a good deal of debate among fans who have heard the disc. The problem: the belief among some fans that HIM has betrayed the darkly hued sound (billed by the band as "love metal") of its previous albums.
It is true that "Screamworks" has a poppier, more alt rock sound. A song like "Scared To Death," with its almost tender pop melody, certainly is a move toward a goth-lite sound. But the spooky edge of HIM is not completely missing in action on the new CD. Songs like "Katherine Wheel," "Heartkiller" and "Ode To Solitude" aren't a far cry (or should I say far scream) from the band's established sound.
What the debate about going pop also ignores is that many of the songs on "Screamworks" are plenty appealing. There's no denying that "Heartkiller," "Love The Hardest Way," and "In Venere Veritas" are nicely crafted, strongly melodic songs. And if they aren't quite a foreboding as some of HIM's earlier music, dark overtones that characterized the band's sound are still present.
Was HIM better in a heavier setting? Probably. But "Screamworks" isn't the disaster some of the band's passionate fans might suggest. — Alan Sculley

Gil Scott-Heron: 'I'm New Here'
Gil Scott-Heron burst onto the scene in the 1970s as a master spoken word soul whose political and social activism was defined by the title of his best known and best album, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." But Scott Heron disappeared from sight amidst drug possession charges and personal problems.
He's back with the ironically titled "I'm New Here," his first record in 13 years. Here, the political has given way to the personal in the song-poems he recites or sings above beats structured by XL Recordings owner Richard Russell.
That is not to say that Scott-Heron still doesn't speak his mind. That's clear from the opening verse of "Coming From A Broken Home," which looks back on his life and challenges conventional notions of what coming from a single parent household means. He's just as personal on the dark "Me and the Devil" and his need to escape from the urban jungle is palpable on "New York is Killing Me."
As always, Scott-Heron's words are literate, intelligent and resonant. There wouldn't be hip-hop without Scott-Heron and, once again, he's showing the way forward.

Reckless Kelly: 'Somewhere in Time'
Calling Reckless Kelly a country band is a misnomer; even the band members describe themselves as "a rock band with a fiddle." On this nod to a major influence, Pinto Bennett and the Famous Motel Cowboys, Reckless Kelly is a rock band with a fiddle and pedal steel — and chimey guitars and Bennett's country-leaning lyrics.
In Reckless Kelly's hands, a Western swinger like "I've Done Everything I Could Do Wrong," gets subtly funky, while guitars rip through "Pure Quill." But their Bennett-based roots are exposed in the tremendous instrumentation throughout, and in tunes like "Best Forever Yet."
Some of these songs are mini-gems, and Reckless Kelly's effort to bring them to a new audience is admirable. The standout track, though, is "The Ballad of Elano DeLeon," featuring another influence, Joe Ely, meshing vocals with Willy Braun's.

Luther Allison: "Songs From The Road"
??? 1/2
Blues guitarist Luther Allison passed away in 1997, just as his career was peaking for the second time after he picked up two consecutive W.C. Handy Awards for best entertainer.
Allison was at the peak of his form when he played the Montreal Jazz Festival on July 4 of that year. That show was recorded for television and is now being released in a CD/DVD package. The CD is a 10-song sample of Allison's incendiary, biting guitar playing and heartfelt vocals backed by the James Solberg Band, his longtime collaborators. It's the whole show he did at the festival — a truncated "greatest hits" version of the marathon, non-stop, four-hour performances that were his stock in trade.
The DVD contains seven of the same songs (the show was cut down to 56 minutes for Montreal television) and it captures the sweaty intensity and passion that Allison brought to the stage every night. Both discs are vivid reminders of what has been missed since Allison's passing and are must-haves for his fans and for those who love the blues played with bite and bravado. — L. Kent Wolgamott

Breakfast for Dinner?
"Mommy, I want this," Will said to me the other evening, holding up a bottle of pancake syrup – the kind I wish I could banish from our house since it is anything but natural. However, Will and my husband love it so it remains.
"That's syrup, sweet pea. You can't just eat syrup! That goes with pancakes, silly," I said, expecting him to say okay and put it away . . . that is usually what happens.
"Yea, want paaaaaan-cakes," he replied with a grin.
Did I mention it was evening? And I had stew meat defrosting on the countertop? Well, I did! And breakfast for dinner? Not something I do. Ever. After all, I am a breakfast failure. I burn everything — eggs, French toast, bacon – you name it — at least in the morning. Still, how often does a two-year-old specifically request a meal? For snacks, it's often, but for meals it's never in my house. So I did what any good mom would do . . .
"Alright. Do you want plain, blueberry or chocolate chip."
"Chooooooc-co-laaaat chip. I want chocolate chip, Mommy."
Decisive, for sure. And cute, oh so cute. How can you say no to that?
Am I opposed to breakfast for dinner? Nah. It's just not something I normally do — and it's not something I have done in a long, long time. But, I do believe in being flexible. Sure, I had defrosted meat, but it would be okay until the next day. Will is flexible all the time for me. He eats whatever I feel like, so to let him choose when he wants something isn't a big deal for me.
And ultimately, it was more important that Will eat something then what exactly he ate at that moment (he'd already had his daily servings of fruit, veggies and dairy too). So, into the frying pan jumped some bacon and pancakes.
On a side note — I am a much better breakfast cook at night.

One of the best memories my sisters and I have is of having breakfast for dinner. This would happen a few times a year, usually on a Sunday night.
The highlight would be homemade waffles.I still love that topsy-turvy, rebellious feeling I get when I have breakfast for dinner, even if it is just eggs it feels so decadent or independent or …
Thanks for bringing back the memory.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
