Praxis II Marketing Education: Practice and Study Guide
About the Course
In addition to completing requisite education, most states require teaching candidates to pass one or more Praxis tests, which are administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS). The Praxis II Marketing Education test is aimed specifically at aspiring high school marketing teachers and is offered just four times each year. This 2-hour exam features 120 multiple-choice questions in eight content categories: marketing education programs, general business principles, marketing-information management and planning, channel management, pricing, product/service management, promotion and personal selling.
We've produced this online study guide to help you prepare for the Praxis II Marketing Education test. Chapters in this study guide cover market research and segmentation, marketing channels, promotion and product management, along with the following topics:
- Professional development
- Economics
- Finance
- Business law
- Business communication
- Management
- Information management
- Strategic planning
- Pricing
- Selling
The Praxis II Marketing Education Test is intended for aspiring teachers who have completed a 4-year education program with relevant courses in marketing education. It measures your knowledge of marketing education topics, in addition to how well you can apply principles of marketing. You also might be asked to analyze complex situations related to marketing.
Praxis II Marketing Education Test Preparation & Registration
Our study guide on marketing education can help reinforce what you learned during your postsecondary training, and it might even introduce you to a few topics you've yet to encounter. This guide is divided into several chapters, which are further broken down into individual lessons. Each lesson includes a brief video taught by an experienced professional educator, along with a self-assessment quiz that features questions like those you'll see on the Praxis II.
As of 2013, the Praxis II Marketing Education test was available only in paper format. You must register with ETS by mail or phone or online approximately one month before your desired test date to qualify for regular registration; late registration is available but comes with a fee of $45-$75. On test day, you'll need to bring your admission ticket, a current photo ID, several sharpened No. 2 pencils and an eraser with you to your testing center.
Praxis II Marketing Education Test Scoring
Because not all marketing education programs cover the same material, test-takers aren't expected to answer every question correctly. Instead, they need to achieve a minimum composite score. These scores are established by the individual states that use the Praxis II and thus can vary widely.
Your score will be available online approximately one month after you've taken the test. You also can have your score sent to your state's licensing agency and/or 2-3 institutions, which you'll need to indicate during the registration process.
Marketing Education Programs
Approximately 14% of the Praxis II Marketing Education test covers marketing education programs. Questions in this content category are likely to focus on development and evaluation of marketing education programs and the role of career and technical education groups in marketing education. You also might be asked about professional development and characteristics of cooperative education programs.
General Business Principles
Questions about general business principles make up approximately another 14% of this exam. This category is likely to focus on management and communication, as well as business law. It also might test your knowledge of supply and demand and management of financial resources.
Marketing-Information Management and Planning
This content category, which makes up around 14% of the Praxis II, focuses on collecting and interpreting market research data. You also might be asked about strategic planning and methods for market segmentation.
Channel Management
Around 12 questions - or 10% of the test - center on channel management. Questions might cover strategies for physical distribution and inventory, as well as the structure of marketing channels. Your knowledge of inventory mathematics also might be tested in this category.
For this section of the exam, you'll be asked about the role of pricing in marketing, as well as pricing strategies. You'll also need to demonstrate your ability to perform pricing mathematics. Questions about pricing make up approximately 12% of the Praxis II.
Product/Service Management
Another 12% or so of the exam focuses on product/service management, including product development and the life cycle of products. You also might face questions about product positioning and branding, as well as product-mix strategies.
The role of promotion is covered in this category, which comprises approximately 14% of the Praxis II Marketing Education test. Other topics addressed could include advertising and public relations, along with publicity and sales promotion. You're also likely to be asked about current trends in promotion.
Personal Selling
The final 10% of the Praxis II focuses on the role of personal selling. This could include questions on selling processes and current trends in personal selling. This category also might test your knowledge of sales force management.

QOTW: Do You Can, Preserve, Freeze, etc
|Thu, 09-16-2010 - 5:09pm
Do you make jelly, jams or preserve summer's bounty in any way? Why do you take the time? Are you concerned about food safety? Your family's health? Is cost-cutting a major factor? Share your thoughts with us this week.
|Mon, 09-20-2010 - 7:37pm
NO, I don't can or preserve. If I freeze it's because I've bought too much, or I've bought frozen.
It's summer all year long here, so there's no need to can, preserve or freeze. Also, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I don't particularly like jellies, jams and marmelade. Once in a while is nice - I buy little pots of it and that'll be more than enough.
|Mon, 09-20-2010 - 8:19pm
I freeze some. In order to have something tasty in winter that isn't in season (we can't do locally grown around here in winter!)
I have never canned --- I'm somewhat afraid of the process.

In the summer and fall there are always people giving away the fruit from their unwanted fruit trees or extra bounties from their gardens. I hate to waste good food so I can, dry herbs and freeze every year. We are lucky enough to have our own fruit trees this year and I'm busy freezing apple pie filling and apple cider. I canned traditional lacto fermented pickles this summer. I usually can enough tomato sauce for the whole year and freeze several gallons of berries that I picked. I wild harvest black walnuts and rose hips and whatever else I find. Random veggies can get made into veggie soup and frozen. It's a lot of work but the food is free and nutritious.

Till one day, I think she was 2, when my mom convinced her to throw them all away cuz she's a big girl now..... she threw them alright, then proceeded to throw a tantrum!!!!

Migrate a XEN machine to VMware
Hello everyone,
I posted on my blog a small HowTO regarding the way to migrate a XEN virtual machine to VMware Server/ESX. It works out-of-the-box for all the non-LVM disks, and it's been validated over about 7 virtual machines with zero post-migration problems (file system inconsistancy or any other stuff). I know there aren't too many such HowTO's out on the internet (actually almost none) and this should help.
Here's the link:
Warning: this is a highly complex operation and it's not advised to be performed by newbees.
If your virtual machine was organised in LVM disks, you won't be able to start it on the ESX host. Some extra tweaking to convert a disk to a regular type is required, but it works just fine on VMare Server v1.XX
So, anyone interested?? Do I post this tutorial on howtoforge?

With all the crazy weather this year when folks get together the conversation seems to veer towards television coverage of weather.
We're dating ourselves with this, but we remember when the weather channel just gave the weather and not all sorts of feature or "reality" stories. (Real weather is enough reality for us.) Early on, local news channels always gave weather pronouncements, usually in 60 to 90 seconds and many still do. Then came Public TV in Maryland which offered a 15 minute weather program. We were hooked, particularly because there weren't any commercials and we got straight up weather.
That eventually expanded into the weather channel which did a lot of repetition, but you could count on seeing the 5 or 7 day forecast at twenty minutes past the hour and weather on the eights which gave a quick overview of regional weather throughout the hour. About that time advertising was added.
Then TWC went big time and begin featuring special programs about weather related jobs, movies, or events or whatever. You had to wait for the actual forecasts unless there was a major storm. Still when the forecasts were given they were pretty simple.
That didn't last too long, particularly when TWC was bought by NBC. All sorts of digital presentations and visual confusion took over the screen.

Like many of you, we think the whole National This Month and National That Month thing has gotten a little out of hand. Yes, many of them are important, like Black History Month and Cancer Prevention Month (both in February), but do we really need Humorists Are Artists Month (March) and National Sandwich Month? (August). The answer is a reluctant yes, but only because we want to stay on the good side of the powerful Humorists Union and the shadowy Pastrami Lobby.
But this month, we just flat-out love because it is both oodles of fun and important to boot. November is National Picture Book Month, and Harris County Public Library encourages you to celebrate to the fullest.
Reading books and singing songs is a great way to expand your child's storytime experience. Below are a few Halloween songs and fingerplays that I thought you might like trying at home. Enjoy!
We've all had bad days, and we all can probably agree that it is far better to read about one than to actually have one. This week Book Hunters offers some recommendations for those I-got-up-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-bed days.
Trick or Treat craft on Wednesday October 15, at 3:15 pm in the children's area.
Decorate trick or treat bags with markers, stickers and cut-outs. Blank bags and all supplies will be provided.
Navigating through the World Wide Web can be difficult; you can't always trust that the information provided is true or correct. When working with children, you also want to ensure their safety. I would like to encourage you to take a look Great Websites for Kids. [It provides] a compilation of exemplary websites geared to children from birth to age 14. Suggested sites are evaluated by the Great Websites for Kids Committee using established selection criteria. The committee is made up of members of the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association.
Harris County Public Library is pleased to announce that Michael Dahl, bestselling author of books for children and young adults, will visit South Houston Branch Library on Saturday, September 27, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Mr. Dahl has written more than two hundred books and is a three-time winner of the Association of Educational Publishers Distinguished Achievement Award.
We have many of his books in our collection--ranging from board books for your youngest to YA mysteries. So, check some out, read them with your kids, and then bring the family out to enjoy what promises to be a high-energy entertaining and educational event. Michael Dahl's visit is sponsored by myON, a division of Capstone.
Here are a few children's books to help you celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
The Dreamer by Pam Muñoz Ryan
I Love Saturdays y domingos by Alma Flor Ada
Tales Our Abuelitas Told by F. Isabel Campoy
Niño Wrestles the World by Yuyi Morales
Waiting for the Biblioburro by Monica Brown
Book Hunters can create a custom reading for any occasion and to suit your every mood. It's fast, free and fun!
Friday September 19, at 3:30 pm.
Children who are reluctant readers will be able to read aloud to Peter - a black lab therapy dog. 3 children may each read for 20 minutes. The reading area will be upstairs in the children's picture book area that will be cordoned off. You may bring your own book or select one from a library selection.
If you're a fan of Lauren Tarshis' I Survived series, here are some other historical/disaster-y adventures for you:
You choose interactive History adventures
Hear that? That's the sound of a jillion school kids—from kindergarten to college—sighing. It's back to school time again. Book Hunters can't do anything about that, but we can suggest these books so at least you don't feel alone in your pain.

Johannesburg – The domestic currency market was little changed at midday on Monday' in anticipation of the monetary policy committee (MPC) announcement later this week.
"We expect that the MPC will keep rates on hold this week' leaving the repo unchanged at 5.0%'" said Standard Bank economist Bruce Donald in a note. "No move by the MPC should be viewed as currency market supportive'" he said.
At 11.19am' the rand was bid at R8.8799 to the US dollar from R8.8757 at Friday's close.
The local currency was bid at R11.8185 to the euro from its previous close of R11.8247 and at R14.0889 against sterling from R14.0576 before.
The euro was bid at $1.3324 from Friday's close of $1.3316.
"Although the Reserve Bank does not target the exchange rate' neither via direct intervention nor interest rate adjustments' it is mindful of the prevailing fragility in the balance of payments'" said Donald. - I-Net Bridge

Bernard Hopkins vs. Beibut Shumenov
When: Saturday
Where: Washington D.C.
TV: Showtime, 9:30 p.m. (delayed)
Outlook: At 49, Hopkins (54-6-2, 32 KOs) is always on the verge of history in the ring. This time, the IBF light heavyweight champion can become the oldest fighter to unify the titles in his division. Shumenov (14-1, nine KOs) is the WBA champion. Shumenov actually won his title in his 10th professional fight.
Prediction: Shumenov shouldn't be overlooked. He packs a more lethal punch than some of Hopkins' recent opponents. In typical Hopkins fashion, expect him to slow the pace down and outwork Shumenov from the outside, leading to a decision victory.
Record in 2014: 7-2
One trip to California saved Charles Martin's life.
The 27-year-old heavyweight had run into trouble as a youth, but relocated to the West Coast to join the All-American Heavyweights, based out of The Rock Gym in Carson.
Colorado. Arizona. No matter the location, Martin was bad news.
"I was leading a bad life," Martin said. "I wasn't the most positive person that I am now. But everybody grows. We're made to evolve and get better and be better than we were yesterday."
"Toting pistols, riding around drunk, shooting at people ... a lot of crazy stuff.
Martin said he was never arrested, but came close.
His life turned around in the program, started by Michael King, who was behind successful television shows such as "Jeopardy," "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show".
The All-American Heavyweights' mission was to produce the highest caliber boxers in competition and character.
"One of my friends told me about the program and I didn't believe him because he said they were training and getting paid," Martin said. "A week later, I decided to give it a try. It took me about six months to get out here. They flew me out and they liked what they saw."
Martin, who is trained by 1984 Olympic gold medal Olympian Henry Tillman, is now signed with the promotional company King Sports Worldwide. He will be in the main event of Wednesday night's first "Boxing At Barker" card, from the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport.
Martin will meet fellow undefeated heavyweight Alex Flores (14-0, 12 KOs) in a 10-round fight for the vacant NABO heavyweight title.
"What we want to do is bring boxing back to the basics," King said. "You have to have great young fighters. It is not outrageous to say that Manny (Pacquiao), Floyd (Mayweather), Sergio (Martinez) and (Miguel) Cotto will be retired in three-four years ... So who's coming up next?"
The card that King has established is an intriguing one, with several former champions.
Former WBO middleweight champion Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (29-1-1, 11 KOs) meets Fulgencio Zuniga (26-8-1, 23 KOs) in a super middleweight bout.
Former IBO welterweight champion Chris Van Heerden (20-1-1, 11 KOs) takes on Ray Narh (26-4, 21 KOs) and undefeated cruiserweight Yunier Dorticos (16-0, 16 KOs) takes on Eric Fields (24-2, 16 KOs).

Another View -- Cass R. Sunstein: We can fight obesity by offering more options on portion size
The problem has many sources, but one of them is obvious: increased portion sizes. We have a lot of evidence that people will eat whatever is put in front of them, even if they aren't hungry. As portion sizes expand, waistlines expand as well.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average U.S. restaurant meal is more than five times larger than it was in the 1950s. The average hamburger, once less than 4 ounces, is now more than 12 ounces. The average order of French fries, once less than 3 ounces, is now more than 6 ounces. There is a clear correlation between increases in portion sizes and increases in obesity.
That correlation helps explain why obesity has been more prevalent in the United States than in France. The French eat high-calorie food, but their portion sizes are smaller. In supermarkets and restaurants, and in portion sizes recommended in cookbooks, Americans are given significantly bigger servings. Even at McDonald's, where we might expect identical sizes, servings of soda and French fries have been found to be larger in Philadelphia than in Paris.
Brian Wansink, a Cornell University professor of consumer behavior, helps to explain why portion sizes have such a large effect. He finds that much of our eating is mindless or automatic in that we tend to eat whatever is in front of us. If you are given a half-pound bag of M&M's, chances are that you will eat about half as much as you will if you are given a one-pound bag. People who receive large bowls of ice cream eat a lot more than those who get small bowls.
In one of Wansink's fiendish experiments, people were provided with a large bowl of Campbell's tomato soup and told to eat as much as they liked. Unbeknownst to them, the soup bowls were engineered to refill themselves (with empty bottoms connected to machinery beneath the table). No matter how much soup the subjects ate, the bowl never emptied. The result? Soup consumption skyrocketed. Many people just kept eating until the experiment was ended.
The good news is that once we isolate the sources of excessive eating, we will be able to identify potential solutions. Google found that its New York cafeteria, which offered a lot of high-calorie items, was producing a lot of unwanted pounds. In response to employee complaints, it initiated changes to nudge people toward healthier choices. Large plates and takeout containers were exchanged for smaller sizes, and employees were encouraged to eat less with a sign stating, "People who take big plates tend to eat more."
The redesigned cafeteria took a number of smart steps to make healthy choices simpler and more convenient (and to make less healthy choices less so). As a result, it helped to produce big reductions in both calories and fat consumed from candy.
A striking feature of the Google initiative was that employees were grateful for the nudges. There is reason to think that many consumers would respond the same way. In a series of studies, researchers told fast-food servers to ask customers whether they wanted to "downsize" their high-calorie side dishes. A substantial number (from 14 percent to 33 percent of those served) consistently agreed to do so. Strikingly, they accepted the offer whether or not they were offered a nominal 25 cent discount. Their total calorie consumption was reduced, on average, by more than 200.
Evidence is increasing that lower-calorie servings can be good for business. One reason is consumer demand. Many customers like, and reward, restaurants that provide light options; an easy way to provide such options is to cut portion sizes. Another reason is the increasing practice, often undertaken voluntarily and eventually to be required by the Affordable Care Act, of posting calorie counts on menus. Customers can be surprised to see just how many calories come from the standard portions of their favorite meals. They may not want to switch to a meal they enjoy less, but a smaller portion may suit them just fine. (Parents and dieters, please take note.)
The broader lesson is that obesity levels, in the U.S. and elsewhere, are hardly inevitable. They are a product of the social context in which people's choices are made. With careful attention to the subtle social cues that lead to excessive eating, we should be able to make a real dent in a serious public health problem.

Sharon told town in need of infant-toddler facility
|Doug Cahill of the Sharon Long Range Planning Committee gives a report on the need for infant-toddler care in the town at Tuesday's meeting of the Board of Selectmen. Ruth Epstein / Republican-American
SHARON — The Long Range Planning Committee told selectmen there is a need for an infant-toddler day care program in town.
Doug Cahill, a member of the committee and a board member of the Sharon Day Care Center, said during Tuesday's Board of Selectmen meeting that since 2010 two infant-toddler care providers closed their doors, so that the needs of young families and employers are not being met. A report was compiled by a subcommittee comprised of planning committee and day care board members.

text: BambangBikeRider May 04, 2011 5:10 AM MotoGP » Stoner 'back' to strength, plans 2011 fork switch Tho I'm not a Stoner fan, but I understand his frustration. It seemed that he was worried and focused all his attention pre season on how well Rossi will be doing on HIS Ducati, only to find that his strong competitors for this season are the riders he previously didn't see as a real threats. Regarding the back spasm. It might be quite legit. I had one less than a year ago, and it was so painful that I need a pillow and pain killer to drive home. But after 4 visits to a chiropractor, it's all gone without a single trace now. So, for the previous poster who said it won't be the last time we hear from Stoner regarding his back. You're wrong.

Fiat Buys Out Chrysler for $4.35 Billion
The video this transcript is based on appeared on January 2.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures are pointing to a lower open on Wall Street as Fiat signs a deal to buy the remainder of Chrylser it does not already own and PMI Data out of Europe and Asia signals a mixed picture on the manufacturing front.
You're looking at Times Square on a cold and snowy morning where all the traces of New Year's Eve merriment are gone. The northeast is bracing for what many are saying will be the season's first blizzard with many travel delays expected - already Newark-Liberty has cancelled flights in anticipation of the bad weather. Happy new year, I'm Ruben Ramirez at the Nasdaq MarketSite. Jon Marino is off today. We've got stock index futures pointing to a lower open when trading gets underway here in New York.
Let's get started with this morning's European action. Carmaker Fiat has reached a deal to take full control of Chrysler in a $4.35 billion dollar deal. The agreement helps clear the way for the consolidation of the two automakers. The deal values Chrysler at just over $10 billion. That's roughly the middle of the valuation banks were looking for when they were looking to underwrite a potential IPO. The deal is expected to close by January 20th.
Now, let's take a look overseas where we're getting PMI data. European markets are moving lower this morning. The Eurozone's manufacturing sector expanded for a third straight month despite further weakness in France. In Asia, we did continue to see a slowdown in China's manufacturing sector. That data did have an impact on Asian markets overnight. In Japan, the Nikkei ended the Thursday session unchanged.
Back here in the U.S. the big question of course is whether the bulls can continue their run on Wall Street. Take a look at the charts on the wall here - the Dow had its best run since 1995, ending the year at 1675.76. Also take a look at the S&P 500. It ended the year at 1848, its best year since 1997.
Our action alert this morning is Microsoft (MSFT) . Our colleagues at RealMoney say Microsoft may not be the most loved company out there but if you care about making money, it's the stock to own in 2014. The reason - the tech giant's deal with Nokia should ensure a steady stream of quality new handsets. And don't forget Microsoft's current dividend yield of 3-percent, which our colleagues say could quickly turn into a 6-percent yield.
For more on stocks you should own in 2014 check out TheStreet.com. At the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, I'm Ruben Ramirez. Have a great day.

Cat Zingano arm-wrestles Sonnen
While it wasn't exactly Billie Jean King against Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, UFC Tonight co-host Chael Sonnen decided to pit his power against top ranked women's bantamweight fighter Cat Zingano on Wednesday night in an arm wrestling contest.
Now to give the statistics for both of these competitors, Sonnen is currently competing at light heavyweight where he routinely walks around at well over 205 pounds.
Meanwhile, Zingano fights at 135 pounds, and like most competitors probably walks around a little heavier, but probably gave up at least 50 pounds to her opponent.
With special referee Kenny Florian overseeing the proceedings, Sonnen matched up against Zingano in a battle of wills and strength. According to Florian, Sonnen was also holding the hopes and dreams of UFC Tonight on his shoulders as well.
Sometimes dreams aren't meant to come true.
Zingano seemed to get the better of Sonnen, and she took home at least a little piece of his arm (and possibly his pride) this time around.
Maybe that will serve her well when she finally gets a chance to
face the arm bar queen Ronda Rousey with the UFC women's
bantamweight title on the line when she returns from her knee
injury in 2014.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

It has the action, adventure, comedy and romance..I think Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and Sundance (Robert Redford) have a good friendship all the way through the film and stick by eachother what ever it takes...this film totally inspires me, and No wonder it won several oscar awards because it has everything a film should have, a fantastic storyline...and by the way, Paul Newman yet again, always looks fantastic whatever character he plays...DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!! 10/10

On execution of the agreement, Aspire Capital made an initial purchase of 606,060 shares of common stock for $1 million, which was equal to the closing price of $1.65 on August 2, 2012, the date upon which the business terms were agreed to between MediciNova and Aspire Capital.
"We have followed MediciNova and its MN-221 and MN-166 programs very closely over the past year," commented Steven G. Martin, Managing Member of Aspire Capital. "We believe MediciNova has a promising pipeline, valuable strategic alliances and an experienced management team and we are very excited about this investment opportunity."
"With strong progress in our product pipeline this year, our agreement with Aspire Capital will help provide us with timely access to cash to further advance our very promising development programs. This investment will help provide us with the flexibility to obtain capital that is complementary with other financial sources available to us. Aspire Capital has an established history of becoming a meaningful and long-term investor and supporting successful growth companies and we very much look forward to working with them," commented Yuichi Iwaki M.D., Ph.D, President and Chief Executive Officer of MediciNova.Key aspects of the stock purchase agreement include the following:
- MediciNova will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Aspire Capital and will determine the sales price before directing Aspire Capital to purchase shares.
- Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by MediciNova, but is obligated to make purchases as MediciNova directs, in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement.
- There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial covenants, restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the purchase agreement.
- The purchase agreement may be terminated by MediciNova at any time, at its discretion, without any additional cost or penalty.

I'm boring and just use serverxx for file servers pserverxx if it's just a print server and wserverxx if it's just a webserver.
In an older life, I started naming all our servers after characters from Lord of the Rings ops: . I know, I know - majorly sad. No more though. I still have difficulty deciding how to name servers on small sites, and what do do when they are replaced.
In a single server domain, is it really worth trying to reflect the site name and all the roles of the server in the name (sitename-dc-dns-wsus-sims-1 ??).Besides, you don't want to rename the server just because a role is added or removed.
What then do you do when replacing the server. When all our sites migrated from NT to 2000 it was not a problem. The NT PDC could be renamed and the new 2K server installed with the original name. Not so easy under 2000 if you want to retain the domain info though unless you mess about with multiple servers. 2K3 gives us the ability to simply rename the server again (provided you do a metadata cleanup to get rid of the old entry).
I'm currently thinking along the lines of (server-role)-(os)-(numerator), so a server would be called ADMIN1-2K-1. When upgraded to 2K3 it would become ADMIN1-2K3-1. When this is replaced by new hardware it would become ADMIN1-2K3-2. If a seperate server was added for Exchange or SIMS it would become ADMIN2-2K3-1 (ie 2nd Admin server, 2K3, 1st one).
You've got to call them something for FFS!
What do others do. I'm mostly interested in small sites using 1 or 2 servers I suppose. Although the ren
I'm boring and just use serverxx for file servers pserverxx if it's just a print server and wserverxx if it's just a webserver.
I'm really original in smal sites, Server is a good name for it or the name of the town / village the school is in such as Skipton, Leeds, or just Server1, Server2 or if it was a seperate proxy, then thats called Proxyserver and the other is just Server.
I have server1, server2, server3, etc... NFC which is a running joke with me and my friends as it's the name of my friends company and a server of mine, it stands for no fat chicks Lenore and other Roman Dirge characters are in use on my home and work network :P
I name all my servers after planets, i did think of chocolate bars at one point, but thought planets would be OK. I flattly refused to use Server1, Server2, boring is not the word!
I use boring names according to function
Theres a similar thread here
Bacardi, Stella and Penka are 3 of the names we are currently using for the non critical servers.
Admin and Curriculum are just MANSRV1 and Server 1 & Server 2 respectively.
I'm running out of greek mythology!
Our RM CC3 ones were set up as: BBS-SVR-001, BBS-SVR-002 for DCs and files, and BBS-MIS-001 for SIMS. (BBS - our school 3 letter code) The ones we've implemented ourselves (proxy, backend files/web) are named sunbird, panther and barracuda. The email server is just 'mail'.
At home I use element names for all computers; cobalt, radium, xenon, mercury.
Have a look at the Naming Schemes website if you get stuck or want ideas
Well you'e used only the big names. Try some of the minor characters.Originally Posted by DMcCoy
I believe Odysseus. used a cleaner called Gladys when he was away from Ithaca.
Ours our named after their functionality. e.g.
I use Norse mythology at work:
Thor - DC - File - Print
Odin - Admin - SIMS
Vor - Webserver
Heimdall - Proxy
Webserver - Mailserver (don't ask, was there when I started, too lazy to rename ^^; )
And random character names at home:
You could always mix in some Roman or Norse?Originally Posted by DMcCoy

activetofocus saidThanks for the Quick Reply , but the link you suggested does not Solve My Query , its not expressly written that i cannot sell a Wordpress theme made from a Bought Web Template ,
Hi, you can make a wordpress bought a web template from some author but can't sell on TF. You can view the clear license http://themeforest.net/licenses
Because i have seen few author's Wordpress themes on TF , whose web Template was made By a Different Author ?
Or are you suggesting that i need a Extended License from that Author ?
Just Wanted to Reconfirm, If I have bought a Web Template from some Author , Can i Make a Wordpress theme from it , Or Do i Need Approval of the Template Author ?
Your theme is nice , clean and visually attractive , bad luck that it got rejected, Any ways we cannot question the Authority of Envato staff and have to respect their decisions by all means. Although your theme is very good and clean , but i still have some suggestions
Sugg 1: Shift your social links some where on the top of the template.
Sugg 2: Your home page can have a carousel on it.
Sugg 3: Identify your sections headings with some bigger font-size/family.
Sugg 4: Correct your image margins for portfolio section when below 480px.
Sugg 5 : Can add validation to your forms.
Sugg 6: In Your Blog you are not using any lightbox/prettyPhoto etc instead are linking to single post page , so must use a link icon instead of zoom icon. Read More link is almost invisible
Sugg 7 : Can have a bit darker font color for better background/foreground contrast.
Besides these simple suggestions , I am sure your template must be supported with clean Comments and nicely written Documentation..
Best of Luck , I am wish next time your theme shall get Approved..
Nice effort , but still some suggestions from my side
Give Bigger and more Focus to "Under construction" font , Currently your page heading(under construction) is not the Most prominent font on the page.
Add Some additional features like Subscribe Option.
Add Some styling options for background textures.
.... Best of Luck
Your Template is Nice and Clean , i Like it
Some Suggestions : Add some Unique hover effects in the team section
May be have some additional font sizes/family for nice unique text treatment
Add Some unique validation style/script to the contact form
Yes , You can
AjexFjord is correct , in-addition once you are done with what he has suggested , you can also check on the author from whom you purchased this theme for the help/documentation guide for the theme … that documentation should solve a lot or your queries , but if you still need more help you can always visit the author's support.
Looks Nice to me , I also think you are submitting to wrong category..
One Suggestion though that you can make your background image more sharper/less blurred, you can also try with a bit smaller font size for your headings only..
I am Sure you must be having proper documentation and code comments , besides that for your markup/style i have following suggestions..
Sugg1 : Try a lighter color scheme.
Sugg2 : Don't use more than 3 colors in your theme , it confuses the viewer.
Sugg3: Provide Specific heading to your various sections , with relevant font-sizes.
Sugg4: Don't use to many font-sizes/font-styles.
Sugg5: for mobile devices your 3 cols after lifestyle section are very very small.
Finally it seems to me that main problem is with your fonts/font-sizes
Best of luck/wishes for future…...
DzincStudio is correct , the best place you can find a solution for your problem will be to contact the author for it.
