Press Release via MacRumors:
Streamline your purchasing process and put more power and productivity in the hands of your workforce. Every paid app in the App Store is available for businesses to buy in volume through the program website. Simply search for the apps you need, enter the quantity you want to buy, and complete the transaction with your corporate credit card. Apps are available for purchase at the same price listed in the App Store.
A few years ago, I would have been slapped in the face if I had brought up the possible enterprise implications of the iPhone. Have you ever had a frappé slapped out of your hands sending the sweet, delicious drink onto your khakis? It's not enjoyable. Or financially wise, for that matter.
However, this volume licensing does matter financially for companies that need to sort out many hundred, thousands...or even tens of apps for their employees. It can get hairy passing around an iTunes account for users and keeping tracks of apps. That should get easier with iCloud but now the big bosses can buy apps in massive quantities and keep track of their items that way. Boom!
I'd like to see if Windows Phone 7 can make things like that happen. They're a little slow to the draw on many features but they seems to be catching up slowly but surely. At this point, I wonder if Ballmer now considers the iPhone a threat in the enterprise market?
Many folks are indeed curious about whether or not Apple will finally cause a stir in the Enterprise scene with regards to Microsoft and possibly even Google. Microsoft as of now essentially owns the Enterprise game. No question about it. Google is starting to make a push with their Google Chrome OS, but has already made a dent thanks to their Google Apps suite. Even if you don't go all-in with Google Apps, you can still utilize the Office suite of apps to make sure your files mingle with others.
As a user, I'm excited with regards to iCloud in that I won't have to sync my iOS devices in order to backup or even to get certain songs or apps onto both my iPhone and iPad. Right now, when creating and editing documents, I don't use Pages, which is Apple's version of Microsoft Word. I use a third-party app called PlainText and even then, I use another third-party service to sync those Text files - Dropbox. For the casual user, that option is quite complicated. That's where I see iCloud making a difference.
Pages would then allow a user to create a document and have that file match all of your other devices inside of the cloud. You wouldn't need to worry about signing up for Dropbox and tracking the file down on the web or otherwise, it will just show up inside of your apps and on your Mac. It's likely that Apple will release this API for similar apps to use iCloud when storing this date, but that last part is really where Apple's vision is separate from Microsoft. At least for now.
Apple's iCloud really banks on your using an iOS device or a Mac. Recent reports are muddy that their web-interface version will even show up in September. Let's say you create a new Pages document on your iPad and would like to edit that on your work desktop which is Windows 7. Right now, that may not even be possible unless you email that file to yourself. That's not so futuristic. Apple wants you in their eco-system entirely to get all of their goodies they offer. iCloud is free, sure. But how much did you pay for that Mac mini, or iPad? That's where their profit comes in.
Apple would love to make money from the Enterprise, but for now, they're happy with getting individual users locked into their eco-system. If you work at a company that has Windows everything - iCloud won't matter to you. Even if you work at a company that has started to phase in iPads for some light remote usage, iCloud won't matter to you.
I really think Apple is happy with Windows and possibly even Google figuring out the Enterprise market. Once their hands are firmly around small to mid-sized businesses, Apple will probably step in and show just how easy it could be if those same businesses went all-in with Apple hardware and services.
Plus, have you ever tried to talk about Apple products with a guy that lives in Microsoft OneNote? It makes you want to jump out of the nearest window. I suppose we're still a few years out from having Steve Jobs prevent me from jumping out of that window.
(this article first appeared on Technorati.)
Apple® CEO Steve Jobs and a team of Apple executives will kick off the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address on Monday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next generation software - Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS® X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple's advanced mobile operating system which powers the iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®; and iCloud®, Apple's upcoming cloud services offering.
Notice how I didn't end that title with "change the enterprise game"? Not a fan of "gamechanger". Not saying "gamechanger" is the new gamechanger.
But let's get serious here, folks. Apple is set to reveal plans for their iOS 5 software in a few weeks which will include details regarding their iCloud suite of cloud services. Is it possible that this could turn the enterprise field on its head?
I started using an iPhone for work email way back in 2008. It was a different era back then. People were still using Windows Mobile. Those same people were using a stylus to type and thought that I was a witch for laughing at them. I was nearly burned at the Frappuccino machnine, er, stake.
Time change, though, and now non-iPhone users are the ones being chuckled at. But there is still hesitation in the enterprise field with iPhones and now iPads. IT Managers are hesistant to use "Apps" in order to access data. They would much rather RDP into a terminal and call it a day. Sure, you can remote in from an iPad, but still folks aren't happy.
I know several people that aren't pleased with the email client on iOS, still. I don't like it mainly because it makes it easy for me to read emails. I hate email. Almost as much as talking on the phone.
I think the real talking point will be the iCloud services. While it may not be the secure unicorn IT Managers are hoping for, the amount of built-in system issues this could solve will definately turn heads. Who wants to so sync phones to an actual computer, anway? Not this guy. And certainly not enterprise users.
At Research In Motion's annual Blackberry World on Tuesday, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced on stage a new alliance between Microsoft and RIM, outlining how the two companies can work together to help people make better decisions with Bing on BlackBerry devices. Central to this collaboration, Blackberry devices will use Bing as the preferred search provider in the browser, and Bing will be the default search and map application for new devices presented to mobile operators, both in the United States and internationally. Also, effective Monday, Bing was designated the preferred search and maps applications with regular, featured placement and promotion in the BlackBerry App World carousel.
Hurrah! Our dreams have been answered. Just kidding! Nobody uses BlackBerry's anymore. Or maybe you do, and have just unsubscribed from this RSS feed. In which case, sorry.
Does this partnership with RIM mean that Microsoft doesn't trust their own phone platform in the enterprise? Maybe. Even so, why partner with a platform that is seemingly losing ground in the enterprise field? The iPhone is moving fast and furious into companies all over the world while nobody is jumping onto BlackBerry anything for their corporate needs.
I like the Windows Phone platform, but it's just not selling as MS had hoped. At least not yet. But, RIM? Will they even have a smartphone market in 5 years? I'll bet you $10 that RIM ditches their own smartphone OS and signs with either Microsoft or Android. A whole $10!
Do you even know how many Frappé's that can buy? About two and half, actually. Don't wait until it's too late to get your own corporate mobile network secure. You know want to end up like the PSN network, do you?
You should care about Apple's collection of geodata on iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices, because the method is flawed.
To be clear, "care" doesn't mean you should smash your iPhone with a hammer, rip out the GPS chip and gulp it down your throat. This isn't an issue of "Big Brother is watching."
It's just a matter of a security flaw that puts your location data at risk if it gets in the wrong hands -- not an immediate concern, but a concern nonetheless.
Two data scientists broke the news Wednesday that an unencrypted file stored on iOS devices contains a detailed log of the device's geographical data dating back 10 months. The scientists also wrote a program, allowing you to plug in your iOS device and automatically output the geodata into an interactive map, just so you could see for yourself.
Uh-oh, speghettiio. It seems like Apple is becoming the new Google, am I right?
It seems like the iPhone, our most favorite phone ever, is caching some location information every time you use a location services. For instance, if you use that awful Foursquare service to tag yourself at the local Dairy Queen. You need to enable this services yourself, mind you. From then on, Apple uses this stored information to improve the location services on the phone. The problem is, it doesn't automatically delete this information from your phone.
The folks that found this information created an app so that you can view your own year-long string of location info. I've seen a few screen shots online, and for travelers, it's pretty spooky. I haven't looked at my own database, mainly because it would just be a string of dots from home and work. I don't lead an extravagant life, you see. Though, trips to Starbucks are usually a big deal around the house.
It remains to be seen if Apple will comment on the matter, but various outlets suggest that it may be corrected with a software update. If you'd like to talk to Trigon about the security of your mobile devices, feel free to contact us.

Now you can accept credit cards on your iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or iPad, according to this website. Simply attach the card reader to your device, download the free Square app, complete the online sign-up, and you are ready to accept transactions.
The website indicates that signing up is easy and there are no contracts or other items to worry about. Every time you swipe, there is a 2.75% transaction fee from Square and that is it. Sounds pretty simple to me – no complex contracts to worry about or bills you have to pay ahead of time. Just buy the $9.95 device ($10 redemption code is currently included – that means they pay you a nickel to get it!!), put in some info, and you are all set.
Now come the big questions – do you think this would be worth it for everyone? Obviously for some merchants, it isn't because the fees that they are charged per transaction are much less (can you imagine scanning to an iPad in Walmart??). What about security – would you feel safe entering your PIN number on an iPhone that a street vendor is selling T-shirts from? Are the transactions all sent immediately through a WiFi connection or are they stored on the device until a secure connection can be made?
Depending on the situation, this would be great to have, as you can now start having the average start-up company able to use credit cards before they get really established and pay to get their service setup. It also will make life easier for those that have a mobile force for being able to add credit card services available (ever get stuck on the side of the road and need AAA?). I personally think this is a great tool and is great in a number of situations and the security potential risks are greatly outweighed by the benefits.
Joshua Topolsky:
But the PlayBook isn't hitting home runs just yet. The OS is still buggy and somewhat touchy. Third-party apps are a desert right now, if not in number, then certainly in quality. The lack of native email and calendar support hurts. The worst part, however, is that I can't think of a single reason to recommend this tablet over the iPad 2, or for that matter… the Xoom. And that's what it really boils down to here; what is the compelling feature that will make buyers choose the PlayBook over something else? I don't have that answer, but that's not what's troubling me — what troubles me is that I don't think RIM has the answer either… and they should by now.
Sounds like trouble in Canada.
The most striking part about RIM's PlayBook is that there are no native emails and calendar apps built-in to the device. You can't just walk into Best Buy and treat this like an iPad. Well, you can, but you need to also have a BlackBerry device with the latest software. If you do, you can enable a "Bridge" mode on both devices that will allow you to share the email and calendering capabilities.
I don't think most folks would have a problems with the email app snafu if RIM was just marketing this to business and enterprise users. It doesn't seem that way with their ads and the fact that it's called "PlayBook". They make it seem like it's for everyone and a legit tablet competitor. Well, I guess there's nothing more fun than being separated from work tasks.
The app situation doesn't seem all that great for RIM either, judging from reviews. I think this really leaves a spot for HP's TouchPad. HP deals with many vedors and OEMS and have recently shown their Citrix app for enterprise. It's a start, and these PlayBook reviews certainly leave a chance for HP to take over the #2 spot. Either way, we still have the perfect options for your enterprise support.
The screenshots show Microsoft's new application store for Windows. The store appears to be running in Windows 7, hinting that the software giant may also be planning to offer its app store for legacy versions of Windows. Cnbeta posted the screenshots on Monday, however WinRumors is unable to confirm their authenticity at this time. The screenshots appear to show a number of Microsoft's own software, including third party software from Opera and Mozilla.
Microsoft is known to be working on an App Store for Windows 8 and the naming in the leaked screenshots is of interest. The company recently filed an objection to Apple's use of the term "App Store", claiming the phrase is generic. If today's screenshots are genuine then this explains why Microsoft is fighting hard to use the "App Store" branding.
First, I should warn you that the ads on that site are incredibly intrusive. It took me about 20 minutes to paste that text onto our blog. The future, indeed, WinRumors.
So, Windows is taking a page from Apple's book with an attempt at simplifying the app process on their operation system. Is it odd that they waited for Apple to try something revolutionary before they even bothered? Yes. Is it a great idea? Yes.
Apple created their Mac App Store because they thought that new/novice user wouldn't search out apps because it was too daunting. They were worried about downloading apps that couldn't be trusted and perhaps contained viruses.
Windows looks to be attempting the same thing even though their userbase is rocksolid and has been for years. If their App Store runs much like the Mac version, it would be nice to keep all of your apps contained through the same update process. Nobody wants to get updates from Flash every three seconds about an update that will most likely crash the app more often than not. Well, maybe you do. But I don't.
Intesting in the screenshot is a link to download Windows 7 Ultimate. Hmmm.
Another interesting aspect of these Windows 8 leaks are the shots of a tiled interface that would work on tablets. But that may be a blog for another day. The bottom line is that if Microsoft approves these apps themselves, it could mean a more secure computer for your friends, family, and coworkers.
Dan Frommer:
While the company is still only selling simple Kindle e-readers, Amazon has quietly built all the tools it needs to compete against Apple and the other tablet makers with its own Android-based tablets.
Amazon just launched its Android app store today. It could easily end up better than Google's built-in Android Market. Why? Because Amazon cares about building a better storefront than Google. And because Amazon has better e-commerce tools and vision than just about anyone.
Amazon's music store and video streaming service are as close to Apple's iTunes as it gets. That's one of the big problems with the Motorola Xoom, for example -- nice, big screen, but no legit source of movies to stream. Amazon tablets would have an answer. Amazon Prime members can stream unlimited movies and TV episodes from a small (but inevitably growing) library of content. That sounds like a great bonus feature for Amazon tablets.
Would Amazon be able to make a play in the tablet space? Their new Amazon Appstore is a curious move for the company unless they're indeed planning a tablet. Amazon is the only competitor to Apple that would be able to compete with movies, music, and apps all at the same time. Google has proven unreliable when it comes to offering similar media. Their own App Store is a muddled mess of spam or apps that seem to rip each other off. Some with exactly the same icons.
The Kindle has been slowly dropping in price ever since it's been released, and some have speculated that in you follow the pattern, it will become free this November. My guess is that the current form Kindle will become free when signing up for an Amazon Prime account. Then, Amazon will reveal their Android tablet, specially customized with their Appstore built-in. You'd be able to seamlessly buy Kindle books via the tablet, and also peruse their Appstore without having to go through the convoluted process that you need to when installing on an Android phone now. Also, you can't even install the Amazon Appstore on an AT&T Android phone.
The Xoom has been released but doesn't look like it can complete. An Amazon tablet could very well be the answer.
All Things D:
Apple's made no change to its App Store Guidlines, it's simply enforcing a rule that's been in them all along: apps that offer purchases elsewhere must support in-app purchases as well. "We have not changed our developer terms or guidelines," company spokesperson Trudy Miller told me. "We are now requiring that if an app offers customers the ability to purchase books outside of the app, that the same option is also available to customers from within the app with in-app purchase."
Let me set the stage for you, friend. Sony had just submitted their Reader app to the App Store. It's just like the Kindle app from Amazon, in that there is no in-app purchasing. You get moved to Mobile Safari to buy the book on Amazon.com, and then you head right back into the app to download the book. Barnes & Noble's app works similarly. The problem is Sony's Reader app was rejected. Apple has had enough of this workaround and will no longer let these freeloaders make sales in their apps without a cut of the monies.
Apple is now requiring apps to provide an in-app purchase for every item that is sold out of the app. If I were Amazon, I'd be sweating it big time. If rumors of a March 31st deadline are true, that means Amazon has until then to create an in-app purchasing system for every book they plan to offer online for their Kindle system. Ouch!
Not only that, but this would also mean that every book sold inside of their apps would give a 30% cut to Apple for your troubles. Every in-app purchase follows the 70/30 ruling for sales, just like apps themselves. Oof!
What happens if Amazon balks at the mere idea of such a loss in revenue, would they just leave the App Store altogether? That would be a huge hit on revenue. There are 15 million iPads in circulation, you know, and countless iPhones and iPod touches. We at Trigon would never think of tricking our valuable customers like that. I mean, we give out high 5's like they're going out of style.
I think we all learned a valuable lesson here. It's Apple's world, Levin. We're all just living in it.

30 Days to a Greener Diet - Day 13
Youve seen those weird-looking tomatoes, right? Usually at the farm stand, in every crazy-looking shape and color including stripes and even green? Take one bite and youll be hooked and probably calling them delicious instead of weird. Enjoying an heirloom tomato is a perfectly painless way to green your diet.
Heirloom vegetables are the fruits of plants from generations-old varieties of seed, sometimes passed down within a family. These varieties are more than just a taste of the past and full of flavor. They protect the biodiversity and a fragile genetic and culinary heritage that would have been lost to mass factory farming that selects varieties for shipping rather than taste. Since the 1970s, visionaries such as Diane Ott Whealy and Kent Whealy, founders of the nonprofit Seed Savers Exchange, concerned with the loss of diversity and taste in the vegetable and flower market, began exchanging seeds with networks of other home growers of antique varieties.
From that modest beginning, heirloom vegetables are the superstars of the vegetable aisle, appearing on the menus of chic restaurants and in glossy food magazines. From gorgeous squash to corn to exotic-looking cauliflowers and kales, heirloom vegetables are a staple of the greener diet.
But its not just vegetables that are going native.
Artisan farmers are also bringing back whats know as Heritage Livestock: the many breeds of chickens, turkeys, pigs and other livestock that once were staples of Americas cuisine before factory farming began limiting the variety and biodiversity of food flavor in favor of ease of growing and shipping. These still-rare meats are often the product of local artisan farms, and are generally raised using compassionate farming practices with fewer drugs and hormones. There are several organizations promoting the rediscovery of these heritage breeds, the biggest is the American Lifestock Breed Conservancy.
Today youll notice these meats at the gourmet shop or on gourmet restaurant menus. Tomorrow, hopefully, as more Americans ask for greener, more compassionately raised meats, they will become available at a supermarket near everybody.

In the Visual Arts department, we have multiple studios, multiple labs all up to date with software, cleanly a environment and so forth. Honestly, I don't think there is anything more that could be done to make us more comfortable and drive our imaginations wild. As far as traditions, if it is someones birthday people like to throw them into the water fountain in the center of the school (amazing right?) and their are vespers every Friday (church youth gathering) at about 8 to bring in the Sabbath.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
Korea (Republic)
Until a few years ago, Korea concentrated on industrial development goals rather than the advancement of renewable energy utilisation. However, following the Government's establishment of the Basic Plan for New and Renewable Energy (NRE) Technology Development and Dissemination in December 2003, the situation is now changing. A target of 5% of total primary energy supply to be met from renewable energy by 2011 has been set.
Until the end of 2004 implementation of wind power capacity had been extremely slow, totalling only a cumulative 28 MW. However, by end-2005, installed capacity had risen to 99 MW. The NRE goal specifically for wind energy has been put at 2 250 MW installed capacity by 2012. A feed-in tariff for NRE-generated electricity, put in place during May 2002, undoubtedly helps with growth in the wind sector. One particular problem with the future siting of turbines is the lack of suitable locations. The mountainous countryside beyond the centres of population lacks the necessary infrastructure and has other constraints, thus causing capital costs to be higher; moreover obtaining authorisation to build in such areas is often impossible.
An R&D programme was instituted in 2001 and there are now four indigenous turbine manufacturers, mainly working on 750 kW to 2 MW systems. In order to meet the 2012 target, it will be necessary to develop 3 MW class wind systems. In December 2005, a demonstration offshore wind project (two 2 MW systems) was launched.

The UK inflation at its lowest in over two years
Annual rate on the consumer prices index drops to 3 per cent.
By New Statesman Published 22 May 2012The UK's rating on the all-items consumer prices index (CPI), which measures changes in the prices of consumer goods and services, reached 122.9 points (based on 2005=100) in April, a decrease of 3.0 per cent compared to the previous month.
According to figures released today by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the annual rate for CPI is 3.0 per cent, down from 3.5 per cent last month.
Meanwhile, core CPI fell to 2.1 per cent, its lowest in over two years.
Large downward effects came from transport, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, clothing and footwear. Smaller upward pressures came from personal transport equipment, restaurants & hotels and rents.
The all-items retail prices index (RPI), which measures the change in the cost of a basket of retail goods and services, reached 242.5 in April (based on January 1987=100), up from 240.8 in March.
The CPI all goods index is 119.0, up from 118.7 in March, while the CPI all services index is 127.7, up from 126.5.
In the recent inflation report, the Bank of England (BoE) governor, Mervyn King, said that CPI inflation would remain above 2 per cent for next two years.
The Financial Times quoted Jason Conibear, director at the forex specialists Cambridge Mercantile Group:
That inflation has nudged down will be of great relief to the Bank of England but it's a meagre ray of light in a darkening economic environment. Last week, the Bank of England said inflation would be hitting target a lot later than expected and there's no doubt we can expect a bumpy ride on the way down.
1 comment
The important statistic is what the consumer 'feels to be the case' not what the ONS or the Bank of England would like the consumer to believe.
Neither organisation can be trusted to report or forecast accurately - and they both have plenty of form on that.
It wasn't that long ago when criticism of the inflation figure persuaded them to suggest that we 'each' may have our own personal inflation figure.
So there we go then.

- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Rokeby was built in 1840 by Captain G.N. Cauthy and is one of the landmarks of Landour. The house and two acre estate are situated slightly above and to the east of St. Paul's Church and the old cantonment parade ground, which is now Char Dukan. Like many houses in Mussoorie, its name is taken from the writings of Sir Walter Scott, whose book-length poem describes heroic battles near the original Rokeby Castle in England. Methodist missionaries continued to operate the property as a guest house throughout the rest of the 20th century. Today, Rokeby has been carefully restored to its original glory. This heritage building is resplendent with character in its elaborate brick arches and niches, intricate stone walls, real wood floors and beams, and cosy fireplaces. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, the traditions of bygone years – where colonial officers, renegade soldiers of fortune and pious miss saibs lived under one roof – can still be felt. An air of mystery beckons visitors. ... more less

SOURCE Dr. Bijan Afar
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Los Angeles dental implants expert, Dr. Bijan Afar, warns that there are serious consequences associated with tooth loss. Nearly 5 percent of American adults under 64 have lost all their teeth, and about a third of retired adults are missing at least one arch. Most adults over 35 have lost at least one tooth.
Dental health can be adversely affected by tooth loss. Each tooth stimulates the jawbone, so when a tooth is lost, the jawbone can atrophy much in the same way a muscle that is no longer used atrophies. The bone can lose density and strength, and its shape alters to accommodate the new gap. One long-term study revealed that the longer teeth are missing, the more bone loss occurs. When all teeth are lost, a two inch jawbone can deteriorate to less than one-fourth of an inch. Bone grafts can help restore the lost bone, however dental implants can help preserve critical bone density and keep jaws strong and healthy, according to Dr. Afar, Los Angeles dental implants expert.
The remaining teeth, if there are any, also adjust to accommodate the missing tooth. They often begin to shift to close the gap between the teeth. Teeth may tilt sideways or move out of alignment, which can make them more difficult to clean. The remaining teeth are then more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Afar, Los Angeles crown lengthening expert, recommends restoring lost teeth as soon as possible to minimize the risk of shifting and associated dental health problems.
The consequences of tooth loss are not just related to health. Patients may be more likely to feel self-conscious about the appearance of their smiles. Their facial appearance can also be altered as the underlying bones and facial muscles shrink.
About Dr. Afar
Dr. Bijan Afar is a premier Los Angeles dentist. He received a degree in microbiology before attending UCLA's School of Dentistry, from which he received his DDS and MS in Oral Biology. Dr. Afar received the Dentist-Scientist Fellowship from the National Institutes of Health.

If you are reading this article, then it is very likely that you are not satisfied with your current web host. Before finalizing on a new host I'd like you to take a few minutes and go through my article – How to Choose a Web Host.
Now that you have a new place to host your WordPress blog you should make sure that you don't lose any data during the transition. Your blog comprises of your posts, images, files, comments, themes and plug-ins. To make it a successful transfer you must try not to lose the posts, comments or images which are very vital to keep your blog from appearing broken!
Also be sure to download all the themes that you've customized as it can be very painful to edit the CSS and other code to make it functional as before!
If you follow the tutorial you'll have a completely functional blog transferred over to the new host.
1. Don't hint your current host that you'll be transferring
One of the most important thing while transferring your blog to a new host is that you shouldn't let your current host get the slightest of hint that you'll be leaving them. While it is likely that they won't do anything stupid but you never know. They can hold your website for ransom and tell you that your files got deleted "accidently" due to outage and other reasons. So it is better to be safe than sorry. So don't tell them that you're dumping them – atleast until you are fully up on the new host.
2. Backup your WordPress blog content
If you are not very comfortable in making a MySQL database backup then there is a very easy solution for that. You can create a backup of your posts, pages, comments, categories and tags from within the WordPress dashboard. Just head over to your WordPress dashboard, go to Tools, then click on Export. If you have more than 1 authors then select the "All Authors" option from the drop down and then "Download Export File". WordPress will create an XML file with all the above info. Save it somewhere on your computer. The export file is usually a few MBs even for large blogs. You can also e-mail the XML file as an attachment.
3. Install WordPress on the new host –
Most of the web host these days come with a one-click install option for WordPress. It is there for a reason and you should USE IT. While installing the blog you'll be asked to create a database. You can name it what you want but if you want to keep things simple I'd ask you to go to the config.php file located in the root folder of your directory and look what the name of the database is. In the same file you'll also find the username and password as well as host info. Just copy-paste the same info while making the database.
If you have done everything correctly – you'll successfully install WordPress.
4. Import the XML file
Now that you have successfully installed WordPress on your new host, time has come to import the XML backup file that you exported earlier in Step 2.
Login to WordPress > Tools >Import and select the file from your computer and upload it. Once you finish uploading you'll see your posts, comments, pages, categories and tags. Hurray!
But we're not done yet! While making sure that you don't lose your blog content was our main goal we want our site to be back as before – looks-wise, function-wise and traffic-wise! So we need to import all the plugins and themes without your blog visitors experiencing major downtime.
5. Transfer the themes, plugins, images, etc
When you performed a new WordPress installation at your new host you simplified most of the steps. You basically created the structure common to all WordPress blog with folders like wp-content, wp-admin and wp-includes. Now login to your old host via FTP and download the WHOLE folder of your blog. Suppose you have a blog at http://www.example.com you should download the folder that contains all the files for http://www.example.com. It is usually located in the root or public_html folder on your host. If not sure ask the support to guide you.
6. Now change the domain's DNS server to your new host
Once you make sure that you have fully transferred your blog it's time to finally make the switch. Login to your domain registrar (from where you registered your domain) and go to DNS settings. If you don't know try looking in the help section or ask their support staff to change it for you. Most hosts give 2 DNS addresses which normally look like ns1.newhost.com and ns2.newhost.com
This will make sure that your domain redirects to the new hosts and serves your website from the new host rather than the old one. It might take upto 72 hours for DNS to propagate although it is usually very less. I'd suggest you change the DNS value during the night or when the traffic to your site is lowest during the day.
While the process is very easy it might take some time and effort to successfully complete the above process. Before starting I'd strongly advise you to make a complete backup of your blog. If you don't know how just ask your hosting's support to do it for you. Once you have downloaded the backup to your computer only then should you start doing the above steps.
If you're stuck on any step you can ask here or can go to http://wordpress.org/support although my experience from WordPress support hasn't been very good. The time to receive an answer is random at best – ranging from a few minutes if you're lucky to never. Most of the time I had to figure things out myself which I really enjoy! Be sure to tell me how you handle changing your WordPress host.
Best of Luck!

Machine gun-toting robots may soon back up U.S. soldiers
Robotics blast targets with M240 machines during live-fire demo at Fort Benning
Computerworld - A robot, equipped with an M240 machine gun, moves through the darkness until it stops under a stand of trees 100 yards from its squad of U.S. troops. The robot uses thermal imaging to detect enemy combatants hiding up ahead and aims its gun at them.
With a single command from its human controller, who is with the squad 100 yards back, the robot opens fire and takes out the enemy, saving the troops from a potentially deadly attack.
A weaponized robot acting as a member of a squad of U.S. soldiers fighting on the battlefield is no longer science fiction. They may not be two-legged, humanoid robots yet, but with wheels or tracks they are able to follow troops through a wide range of terrain and back them up in battle.
Both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines have tested prototypes of weaponized robots on the battlefield. However, armed robots are not currently in the Army's inventory of weapons.
Army leaders got a look at what technology is available for the battlefield during a robotic live-fire demonstration at Fort Benning, Ga., this week.
"We were hoping to see how they remotely control lethal weapons," said Lt. Col. Willie Smith, chief of Unmanned Ground Vehicles at Fort Benning. "We were pleased with what we saw here. The technology is getting to be where it needs to be. It's a start."
Smith, who was looking to see multiple weapons systems mounted on the robots, said he's uncertain how soon the Army will begin using weaponized robots on the battlefield, but he's hoping it will happen within five years.
"They're not just tools, but members of the squad. That's the goal," Smith said. "A robot becoming a member of the squad, we see that as a matter of training ... I think there's more work to be done, but I'm expecting we'll get there."
Four robotics companies -- Northrop Grumman, HDT Robotics, iRobot Corp. and QinetiQ -- demonstrated their robots' abilities to fire machine guns and take out pop-up targets from a distance of 150 meters during the live-fire demonstration Thursday.
Phil Coker, director of integrated platform systems at Northrop Grumman, said its robot, the CaMEL (for Carry-all Mechanized Equipment Landrover), can run for 24 hours on three-and-a-half gallons of fuel, and can be equipped with a grenade launcher, an automatic weapon and anti-tank missiles.
The CaMEL also can identify targets from three-and-a-half kilometers away, using a daylight telescope or thermal imaging. The robot also can be dropped into a war zone from a helicopter or a plane.
The robots can be controlled, tetherless, from a handheld device that looks much like a gaming control, a laptop computer or a tablet attached to a vest that a soldier wears.
The vest, which weighs about 10 pounds, carries a battery, the handheld controller and a tablet that flips down from the soldier's chest so he can see what the robot sees. That means the soldier doesn't have to see the live target himself.
The robots also can be operated, via satellite radio communications, from hundreds of miles away.

Epic Restaurant- The Royal York Hotel
Online Reservations
My husband and I brought our 2 year old for a special dinner here. We had a great time. They gave crayons and a colouring sheet for our child, they had a nice list of meals for kids. Really good Mac and Cheese. Parking was complementary, service was wonderful. Our meal was great. Our toddler had fun exploring the hotel lobby after the dinner.
Perfect quiet corner, with exceptional service and our food was delicious! We will be back!!
Restaurant staff very personable and attentive. Provided other options when ordering even if not on the menu. Food arrived hot and in a timely manner.
I live in Toronto and operate a Bed and Breakfast in downtown Toronto so we regularly go to different restaurants to check them out before recommending them to our guests. We had a four-course meal and it was amazing (although I would not recommend the salad with heirloom tomatoes it was disappointing). The portion sizes were perfect with lots of fresh vegetables and not overpowered with sauces. Scallops were divine and beef done perfect. We would definitely recommend it.
the food is well present and the taste is excellent, Good for a date night
We enjoyed this restaurant but found our principal waiter lacked in training, i.e. spilled wine on table and my glass with no apology or cleanup, reached across table, served my husband before me, both the main meal and coffee. We would have had a much more enjoyable experience had the service been top notch as one would expect at such a restaurant. The waiter obviously had been given our name as he greated us by name when he initially came to the table and when we left. That was a nice touch.
Better than average food and service in outstanding location - well geared to business meetings / clientel
The ambience was British and traditionally European. The service was great and put us at home. There was a surprise with a lobster bite with a small bisque, which was refreshing with lobster-flesh texture). I liked especially the appetizers pork belly (lovely with an almost melt-in-the mouth feel). The table loved the prime rib ( one striploin and one tenderloin). The portion seems standard but on the smaller side, seared beautifully and cooked right. The dessert panna cotta was fine, especially visually enticing immersed in a bed of summer colors ( strawberry and rhubarb consommé with herbs and flower). Overall the ambience was good---for conversation and reminiscence of nostalgic European days for the table.
Hard to beat the location for meetings (especially if travelling to/from downtown area); better than most hotel dining in several respects; food, ambiance and service.
This was a second visit to Epic, and everything was as spot-on as the first. Service was attentive, food was fantastic. 4 courses is a lot of food, and there's an amuse bouche and post-dessert cookies, too! The seafood chowder is one of the best ever had, velvety smooth base with perfectly cooked seafood. Salad had generous serving of goat cheese. Choosing to split our appetizers of crab cakes and shrimp cocktail allowed us to savour both. Fish entrees were well executed. Appreciate that the sides weren't heavy starches. Desserts were also well received; the gelato trio was inspired. Cocktails were okay, great wine selection.
First time diner here and definitely won't be the last!! Everything about the night was wonderful. From the service to the food to the entire experience. I highly recommend it!!!
We had a lovely dinner at Epic. The menu was fairly extensive and the food and service were very good. I had surf and turf with bison and it was excellent. We shared the creme brule dessert and it was also good. The parking was complementary valet parking which was also nice.
good wait staff friendly fast service quiet enough you can carry on a normal voice conversation tables nicely spaced and far apart enough great location consistent chef
This was the second time I went there, the food and service were excellent. However, I waited for a long time for the entree on both visits. Luckily, there was a live band and we were not bored. Server offered excellent service and proactively follow up on our orders, impressed with service and food. Will definitely visit again.
We had an excellent meal at Epic, celebrating a family birthday. The service was friendly, prompt and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food, as always, was excellent.
The Epic Restaurant is two thumbs up! Our server was very attentive & friendly. We had a four-course dinner for 2. The food is amazing. We both had sea food chowder soup, scallops for apetitizer, steaks & they were done perfectly as well the crème brulee for desert. The ambience was nice as well. It is definitely a perfect place for a beautiful dinner!
I had experience here, the food was great!I told the server that it was my boyfriend's birthday and I had expected them to write a little message on our desserts. However, they brought out a slice chocolate cake with a candle prior to us ordering our desserts. The server even sang Happy Birthday with me! It was a wonderful surprise and my boyfriend loved it. Thank you so much!
The only thing that was epic, was the cost of a Acapulco margarita-$25. The rack of lamb was almost epic, definitely one of the better that I've ever had. Seafood chowder was rich, but not overly generous with seafood. Crab cakes were decent, the desserts were excellent. Very pricey!
If there was ever a restaurant you wanted to try, this would be the one. We have dined twice now and the food was unbelievable. My husband's favourite dish was the Pork Belly appetizer. Our compliments to the chef
From the moment you step into the restaurant, you are warmly greeted by staff and made to feel life a VIP. Everyone is genuinely happy to see you and so enthusiastic! Our waiter was knowledgeable with the menu, going over specific details of any dish we had queries about. His wine recommendations were perfect! The food is superb. They do not cut corners here-fresh ingredientscooked to perfection. The bread with spreads is so fresh and crusty, not just a dried out afterthought. The seafood chowder is the best i have ever had. The dessert is so well presented one can only gaze dreamily at this edible art. Overall, a memorable experience.
The staff were all very attentive and friendly. The seafood chowder and scallop appetizer were amazing!. The only thing that could be better was the background music. Epic feels like it should be a romantic restaurant, lots of couples were dining that evening, but the music really wasn't supporting that feel. A little too loud and upbeat.
Been to Epic a few times but not recently. Would go back again ... we had been there for dinner back in July when Toronto got the heavy rain storm and they lost power so we returned recently to finish things off ... they went over and above the "call of duty" upon our return. Service was good and around 1/2 way through the meal I started to worry about not being able to have room for dessert ... my wife ended up taking her pasta home and had a few bits of my main which saved the day and allowed me to finish with dessert and coffee. Had the chocolate cake and my wife had the panna cotta (nice and light!). There were a few more dishes we would like to try but this time we had the seafood coup+scallops and lobster pasta .. all great!
Overall experience was spectacular. Food was out of this world, and the servers were very attentive but not excessively.
Had my boss in from the US during the film festival, and staying at the Royal York. Made breakfast reservations for 7:15 to meet a client, and had an excellent discussion. Wait staff are very skilled at recognition when and how to come and go during a serious conversation, and to be supportive without being over-bearing. Sound level is just right for a business conversation - no need to yell to be heard, or to whisper to avoid being over-heard. Standard hotel breakfast menu, but excellent quality food. Prices are a little high, but worth the investment for the overall experience.
Wonderful evening/dinner. All entrees were hot , delicious and well presented. Service was outstanding. Free 3 hours valet parking when dining at EPIC is a big plus.
It was the first time we have booked on line - and it made our experience wonderful. I was greeted at the door by name and taken to our table. The staff was aware we had concert tickets and made the entire evening a relaxing and exceptional experience. Thank you so much!
The EPIC is a great regular location i have used for breakfast meetings. the service is fast, efficient and responsive. The food is consistently of a good quality. Staff are attentive
It was my birthday & my friend who got the coupon for us took me. It was a great evening I love The royal York & try to go with as many of my friends as possible.
The food and wine list were excellent! We live in San Francisco and are spoiled with the great wines and food from the Bay Area, and Epic did not disappoint.
Hostess and servers were very accommodating. Good was very good. Loved that I could make a bfast reservation with Open Table.
Had a fabulous dinner with my fiance Saturday night. The food was amazing, each plate a work of art. A very enjoyable experience!
We went to EPIC for our Wedding Anniversary, and what a way to celebrate. The food was amazing, service was incredible and everything was fabulous! It was definitely an "EPIC" meal from beginning to end ... and especially with all the unexpected treats - from the "tasting spoon" of braised beef on truffle cauliflower puree to the macaroons and biscotti! Thank you for a wonderful meal with your excellent waitstaff!
Our server Lisa was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the menu and didn't hang over our shoulder. The food was prompt and hot not to mention delicious.
My wife and I went to Epic for our tenth wedding anniversary. In the beginning, I was a little concerned with how one side of the restaurant was open to the lobby area. I prefer something enclosed. But that is just me. Put that aside, we were both extremely impressed with whole dining experience. The meal, and the attention to detail, in presentation, and service. The ambience was great but the food was even better. Well worth the money spent. We have been talking about Epic ever since, need I say more.
This is our first Thanksgiving dinner at the Epic and we would return-the meal from beginning to end was delicious-with little extras along the way e.g., being greeted by name, added little desserts, amuse bouche etc. All in all a delightful experience.
my second time for Brunch and just love it! we went there with 3 kids and our server was amazing (and all the staff including Chef!) loved the variety, quality and freshness of the food and also the great tables they have with lots of space! thanks for the great experience, we can't wait to go back!
An enticing buffet with a wide range of both hot and cold dishes, including eggs to order. Wait service efficient and unobtrusive. A definite must for those who want a good breakfast or a working breakfast in pleasant surroundings. I have eaten here many times and have never had a less than memorable meal.
Very relaxed atmosphere to spend the evening dining, good quality food and able to see a bit of the kitchen in action. Tables set up are not too crowded, offering some privacy for conversation.
Good selection of lighter meal choices. The salmon is excellent. Very good, prompt and attentive service. Excellent spot for a nice lunch away from the Bay Street crowd.
Get the black cod. Hands down best dish. Delicous food, attentive service.
The food was phenomenal with great selection--from eggs benedict to smoked salmon with capers. The mushrooms, potatoes and crepes were delicious and the fruit selection was extremely fresh and sweet. Coffee was constantly poured. The only downside was, with a 12pm online reservation we still had to wait for our table to be set. My expectation, especially with a reservation, was that our table would be waiting for us.
I greatly appreciate the warmth of the reception you have given me.
Fresh local ingredients (herbs grown on site), wonderfully prepared and presented. The pan seared scallops were the best I have had anywhere and the ravioli rivaled home made in Italy. Plating was artistic yet understated. Service was impeccable from the hostess greeting me by name both upon arrival and when departing, to the waiter who brought the bread and the amuse bouche, the main waiter and the dessert waiter, everyone was professional and found the right balance between being sophisticated but not pretentious. A very special dinner for a special occasion.
Dinner was great! The restaurant wasn't crowded so service was quick. The staff at the Epic are wonderful, the waiters/waitresses are knowledgeable about the food they serve which is very helpful when making your choice. The walnut and raisin bread is the best and even tempted someone who should avoid wheat! Try the Brie Tempura - perfecto. The Black Cod was delicious and my friend enjoyed the perfectly pan-seared Salmon filet. Everything is served beautifully. Do take a picture first; the presentation is truly artistic. As for dessert, try the three different crème brulées. Excellent! Finish off the evening with a specialty tea, I highly recommend the Kyoto Cherry Rose green tea.
I always enjoy eating at Epic. A great option at lunch, if I don't feel like the full lunch entrée/main item, you can ask for items from the lounge/bar side (i.e. the Halibut fish and chips are very good and from scratch!, or there's a vegetarian wrap on that side if needed). These items are not on the Epic menu, but you can ask for the lounge/bar menu (it is the same kitchen). My guests have loved this option. The service is just right, very professional and friendly.
Lunch was very good. The service was great. Unfortunately you did not have your usual Christmas three course lunch special. I we look forward to it every year.
Wait staff was a bit slow to get started which is unusual for this restaurant. Seemed they forgot about us while they fawned over a table celebrating a birthday. They were slow in general at the start. Forgot to take our drink order. Forgot to pick up used plates. Well, it was my wife's birthday too we just didn't tell them. Once they got their act together after about 20 minutes things went smoothly. Food is very good and given the quality the price is very reasonable. Only disappointment was the service which is usually much better than what we experienced. The Maitre d' seemed disorganized.
We've been numerous times, and have always had a lovely time from the service we've gotten to the food we've eaten. Thanks so much!
It was a very nice time for a birthday dinner. Can be very romantic for 2.
The restaurant is aptly named. The menu selections are unique and interesting. The presentation of food is artful. The waiters attentive but not hovering. My salad married thinly sliced poached pears with frisée lettuce in a reduction sauce that made me want to lick the plate (although I refrained). The entre of beef tenderloin was done to perfection with herbed butter melting on top accompanied with a trio of veggies both aesthetically pleasing and delicious. My dessert, creme brûlée severed three ways, cappuccino, lavender-infused and maple syrup, was the perfect finish to a sumptuous and satisfying meal.

I have been using a One Touch 4 Mini 250GB almost daily for the last 2 years
i used it at home on my Mac OS and at school on Windows machines.
Its never given me any problems either Operating System with files going between the two regularly.
Now out of the blue the drive doesn't seem to be popping up on my list of drives.
Macs or PCs cant find it and i have a lot important school work on there that isn't backed up unfortunately.
The light on the drive will blink once and then stays on after plugging in the USB, but nothing shows up.
I tried using a different Usb cable that belonged to my brother's portable Toshiba hard drive but it still didnt work.
Not sure what my options are at this point for either fixing my Portable HD or at least recovering the data
any suggestions are welcomed, thanks
I am having the same exact problem with my drive (500gb) and i was told by tech support to replace the power supply. i dont think that will fix the problem, as it is already receiving power obviously. none of the troubleshooting they offer is of any help either.
sounds familiar to me, but ive had my one touch 500GB recognised already so the power lead and usb are fine. ive tried other leads as well just now to see if its those that are the problem but I am still having issues.
I am having the exact same issue. Power exists and is working, USB cable works fine (XP file manager sees the drive and contents), but the Maxtor OneTouch manager does not show the drive in its list. It states: "No external drives were found. Make sure your external drive is connected and turned on."
This seems to be a common issue folks are running into. Would be nice if we could get some help and an answer or two....
Please try our external drive troubleshooter - http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/troublesh
If the troubleshooter doesn't resolve your problem, could you please post the report from Microsoft's UVCView utility?
I had the same problem wit my 500GB Maxtor One Touch 4 Plus. First you have to have the maxtor software installed on any computer you plug the drive into...you prob already know that but just in case. Ever since I got a new computer with Windows 7 the drive would show up in Maxtor manager but was showing the drive as locked. The option to put in my password to unlock it was not available. I tried to click on the drive pass to remove the password and received a message "this devise does not support security". So here was the fix for mine. I installed the maxtor software on my friends computer running Windows XP...pluged in the drive and up pops the window to enter my password. I entered my password and up it pops on my computer. I went to the drive pass in maxtor manager and removed the password. I then pluged the drive into my computer running Windows 7 and the drive pops up on my computer right away. I tried to re-install password in drive pass but again received the message "this devise does not support security". I know this is a long description but I was so upset at those dumb tech guys telling me something stupid was wrong with my drive when I kinda figured it was the password all along. The only challenge is finding a computer with Windows XP or (Vista might work too...try it!!) so you can remove the password.
I'm having the same problem as well, has anyone had any luck getting their HD to work.
I have same problem with a 500gb---no external drives were found make sure your external drive is connected and turned on?????did you get your problem resolved---please advise
I also am having this same issue with my Maxtor 500g. Is this an issue with a Mac OSX Security update? just strange that this happend out of nowhere. When there is a solution please advise! thank you!

When my history teacher comes back from his vacation around the world, he brings back little trinkets for his favorite AP history class. Playing a game, you, the popular student, get a lamp like the ones you find in old stories of genies in the desert. Not thinking much of it, you throw it into your bag, leaving as the bell rings and not taking it out until you get home.
Messing around by yourself, you rub the lamp, thinking it would be funny to joke, but a second later I appear in a puff of smoke next to you. There was a secret that shouldn't have been found out, and we both don't know what to do!
Plot line is pretty simple! I play the genie girl, a more unnoticed girl at school and you play the popular kid. The history of the genie and more will be explained, as well as some dangers none of us know about.
