Setting up webhosting in ISPConfig 3
Its a rookie question, I have never had web hosting server i thought its easier to install ISPConfig so i followed the tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...04-ispconfig-3 to install, i have everything setup but I cant get my site to show up :(
I have two server that i want to host, www.server1.com and www.server2.com; server1.com was setup at the time of installation but I added server2.com ...
This is what i did ---> System tab - Add Server config - and then i have added following values in the tab "Server"
server config
Network Configuration (not checked)
IP Address 127.0.0.1
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Hostname server2.com
Nameservers ns11.domaincontrol.com, ns12.domaincontrol.com
I left rest of the tabs blank since, i just want to see if i can get to default page or not... CLIENT -- Company name, Contact name, Username, password.... EMAIL -- Server, Client=xyz, Domain, Spamfilter = normal ; Active checked .... SITES -- WEBSITE -- Server,Client=xyz,IP-Address=*,
Domain=server2.com, Harddisk Quota 1000 MB, (CGI,SSI,Own Error-Documents)=checked, ,SuEXEC not,Auto-Subdomain=www,SSL, PHP=ModPHP, Active=checked ... Rest of the tabs left blank but when i click on OPTIONS and go to previous tab i get this ERROR 1.documentroot_error_empty while there is no tab for "documentroot" but LinuxUser=web1, LinuxUser=client1,AppacheDirective=blank
When I type url outside network i dont get the page, but within my network i reach my wireless router Admin Setup page ???
My default setup during installation for server1.com
Network Configuration (not checked)
IP Address 127.0.0.1
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Hostname server1.com
Nameservers 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2
Please help...
My domain name is by godaddy, i have A-record for server1, and server2 pointing to my public ip address.
To add a server, install ispconfig on the second server in expert mode and then choose that this server shall join the master server.
Running a multi servers etup is not as easy as running a single server as you have to set correct mysql access permissions to allow the root user of the slave servers to connect to the mysql database of the master server before you install ispconfig, so if this is your first server you might want to start with a single server setup and when you get more comfortable with managing linux servers then extend your setup with more servers.
Thanks Till for your response:
Awww my understanding is wrong, let me put down my objective:
On a single hosting server i would like to have multiple web-sites hosted.
I have 5 websites that i want to put on this server, i want to have each website its own mail boxes and user accounts...
*** I did install ISPConfig 3 in expert mode, and i have "server1.com" already setup during the process of installation. (Please see its setup in my post to verify if its been setup correctly) ***
1. After i remove the server2.com how do i put all these 5 websites hosted (e.g. website1.com, website2.com, ...)?
2. Do i have to have my AAA record at godaddy to point to my public ip for all those websites (i am assuming yes)
3. Do I have to have ns11.domaincontrol.com, ns12.domaincontrol.com in NameServer of SERVER1.COM or do i leave my local IP addresses there in that field.
4. How about the error i get in Website-Options tab?
(OPTIONS does not let me out i get this ERROR "documentroot_error_empty" while there is no tab for "documentroot" It only has LinuxUser=web1, LinuxUser=client1,AppacheDirective=blank)
Any step by step guide for ISPConfig3 is appreciated, i found many for ISPConfig2 but nothing for 3...
Thanx in advance :)
1) You dont have a second server at the moment as you just added a record manually to the databse without any connection to a real server. You will have to delete any records that you assigned to this server in ispconfig.
2) Yes. You always need a dns record for a website.
3) The nameservcers must be exsiting and working nameservers that are used to resolve external domain names.
4) This error is there because you did not add the server correctly. See my other post.
there are no other manuals for ispconfig 3 available yet and as I suggested to you above you should start with a single server setup wheny you are not familar with linux administration.
Thanks Till
I removed the server2.com which I added after installation; from my ispconfig3 setup, I also removed all the related setups. Server1 was installed during installation process and configured by ISPConfig. I did not change anything in that setup.
Now i have single server with a site (mywebsite.com) setup for a client. I am still unable to see tab for "documentroot" It only has LinuxUser=web2, LinuxGroup=client2,AppacheDirective=blank...
My problem still unsolved, i don't see website default page instead it shows me my wireless router's control panel which is 192.168.1.1 any ideas?
What other post you are referring to ?

The server has the IP 192.168.1.105, not 192.168.1.1. 192.168.1.1 is your router.
Could you please be specific, which file and which value is wrong, I have "resolv.conf" with nameserver 192.168.1.1 since i'm using GoDaddy to resolve all external DNS. My hosts file has ip address for each host as follows:

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Please point me in right direction, which file needed changes and what values, as i mentioned before I'm rookie thus I didn't undrestand what exactly you mean...
Thanks for your help...
You must configure your router to forward the ports 80 and 8080 to 192.168.1.105.

Hi there! First time here...I currently wear the Giro Factress cycling shoe. My foot is wide in the footbed and as much I love these shoes I can no longer tolerate the burning toes and hot spots from the ball of my foot forward. I have tried many things including a recent bike fit/clip adjustment, expensive inserts for my high arches, mindful of not pushing down on the the pedal. They start out great but about the 1.5 hour mark, I bet my feet swell in this Texas heat...not fun. As well I use Speedplay light action pedals.
Anybody have a recommendation on a carbon shoe that may be a wider fit.

Warming to Clean Energy Part 3: The Obstacle Course
March 18, 2007
An Oil Platform
Despite the myriad indicators painting a positive picture for the future of clean technology, there are many bumps in the road ahead. Achieving large-scale competitiveness with fossil fuels will be much more difficult if Congress does not pass carbon legislation, since people in more carbon intensive industries are working furiously to bring new electrons to market. Saudi Arabia has about 25 percent of global proven oil reserves under its sands, and could continue supplying oil at current rates for 90 years. The country maintains a level of spare capacity that could allow the Saudis to engineer a price collapse if expensive oil continues to encourage renewable technology. Even if the world moves away from Middle Eastern oil, private companies have achieved advances in the technology of oil extraction that make previously uneconomic deposits in places like the Gulf of Mexico look very attractive. Many in the industry also believe that they can increase the rate of recovery from existing wells from 30 percent to 50 or 60 percent within a decade, a jump that would augment global reserves substantially. Vijay Vaitheeswaran, a correspondent for The Economist magazine, notes in his forthcoming book "Zoom" that although BP and Shell are spending about 2 billion per year on renewable technologies, each is spending around $15 billion per year on oil, and this ratio is typical of major oil companies.
An oil sands mining operation
Perhaps the most ominous threat to the future of clean technology lies in a range of carbon-based alternative energies that will become economically viable if oil prices stay high. Notable here are the coal bed methane deposits in the American west and the tar sands in Alberta, Canada. Both of these sources are incredibly resource intensive to produce, and could effectively undo any reductions achieved by carbon legislation if burned on a large scale. Nevertheless, interest in these fields is growing: Peter Tertzakian of Canadian investment firm ARC Financial estimates that investments in the Alberta tar sands in the coming years will add up to around $60 billion.
Which energy technologies will prevail?
These examples serve to illustrate that rising oil prices do more then benefit clean technology: they drive oil exploration and investment in climatically reckless fossil-based alternatives. Whether the cleaner path will win out remains an open question; companies and countries are pumping money into fuel cell research even as they shore up petroleum reserves. Steering the energy future in a greener direction will take political leadership. The core purpose of government is to direct its resources toward development that serves the best interests of society: and nothing would serve those interests more than the advancement of clean technology.
Warming to Clean Energy
March 15, 2007
I'm pleased to announce that the Wild Green Yonder is sprouting new buds: Nelson Harvey, a fellow Gallatino and good friend, will be joining me as WGY's second contributor. Nelson's specialties are renewable energy and journalism, and he's making his debut this week with a four-part series on the case for clean energy.
- Adam
For anyone with doubts that the world of energy is undergoing major change, the newspaper headlines during the last week of February 2007 should have provided pretty convincing proof. On February 25th, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's documentary film about the science of global warming, won an Academy Award. Shortly thereafter, three major electricity industry trade groups who had long opposed any federal limit on carbon emissions flip-flopped, announcing their support for such rules. Then, on February 26th, company officials from TXU Corp., the Texas mega-utility and a nemesis of environmentalists who oppose its polluting power plants, announced that a consortium of private equity firms had offered to purchase and overhaul the company. Under the deal, TXU would abandon aspirations for 8 of 11 coal-fired power plants that had been planned. It would also double its investments in wind energy, and increase energy efficiency spending.
All of this was music to the ears of the clean energy industry, which for the past few years has been on the ride of its life. In 2006, the wind industry grew by 27 percent, solar grew by well over 20 percent, and ethanol grew by 24 percent. Similar figures are projected for 2007. Rapid growth is nothing new for this industry: the Arab oil embargo of 1973 sent U.S. oil prices skyrocketing, and dollars flowed into alternative energy research. The Iranian revolution of 1979 had a similar effect, but in both cases, the declining price of oil dragged the appeal of alternatives with it, and fossil fuel re-assumed its throne as the global energy king.
This time around, things are different. Clean energy is here to stay, and what's changing the equation is global warming. Concern about the effect of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, combined with a national fixation on the goal of "energy independence," has sparked a desire for change, and a debate about market-based environmental tools like a greenhouse gas emissions trading system. The fact that Democrats now control both houses of the U.S. Congress makes it likely that such a system will be implemented in the near future, and when it is, renewables will be ready. Over the next three days, I will present the economic, political and technological case for clean energy, as well as the obstacles that could derail this positive shift once again.
Tax/Trade Update
February 21, 2007
A while back I wrote about two of the most widely discussed options for federal carbon legislation: a tax on individual and/or institutional emissions, and a market-based "cap and trade" system. The debate has continued to heat up in the past couple months, and I thought I'd weigh in with an update.
At yesterday's 2010 Imperative webcast, leading climate scientist James Hansen stressed the need for immediate carbon legislation: continuing our current path for another decade, he explained, would put our emissions at 40 percent above 2000 levels, making it virtually impossible to reduce to acceptable levels without severe recession. Though he made it clear that action needs to be taken now, he refused to take a side on the tax/trade divide. What he did suggest was that CO2 restrictions be slowly phased in so as to avoid economic disruption, and that they be controlled by a nonpartisan appointee in the manner of the Federal Reserve.
Gristmill has been seeing a raging debate on the issue recently. In a guest editorial last week, Bill Chameides, Environmental Defense's chief scientist, came out in favor of a market, calling taxes politically unfeasable and less likely to promote technological innovation. In a series of comments to my original post, fellow Green Archer Daniel Dempsey agreed, citing the precedents of NO2 and SO2 markets in the US as successful examples of market-based pollution reduction.
But Gar Lipow's well-researched response to Chameides' piece counters these very examples. Lipow provides evidence that domestic pollution markets were slower and resulted in smaller reductions than tax-based programs in Germany and Western Europe. Furthermore, these markets were nowhere near as complicated as a carbon trading system would have to be, and were therefore easier to implement and less subject to manipulation. In other words, if set up correctly, markets can indeed work – just not as well as taxes.
Still, one of Daniel's criticisms still holds: to institute an effective carbon tax would be tantamount to "political suicide" in our current taxophobic political climate. Although endorsed by economists and corporations alike, to my knowledge not a single elected official has proposed introducing one, probably because it would raise the price of nearly everything we buy.
It seems clear to me that the tax vs. trade debate is essentially one of feasibility versus necessity. Emissions trading would be cheaper to implement and is far more business-friendly, which is why politicans are so fond of it. But it's also complicated to set up, and likely to be less effective overall. To reduce our carbon quickly enough to prevent catastrophic climate change, it seems as if taxing is a safer bet. Sure, at the moment it seems as if a carbon tax is unrealistic – but then again, this very discussion would have seemed politically preposterous only a couple years ago.
The Green (Un)market
February 8, 2007
A recently released survey by the market research firm Mintel seems to agree with what every newspaper columnist and progressive politician has been saying: being green has hit the mainstream. The survey's summary reports that the market for environmentally-friendly prodcuts was $200 billion last year and is growing rapidly, with 35 million Americans categorized as 'True Greens' who regularly buy green products.
But Worldchanging writer Joel Makower points out on his own blog, Two Steps Forward, that things aren't quite as verdant as the survey makes it seem. Market research on this stuff has been happening for 20 years, and the numbers were just as encouraging then: he mentions a 1989 survey where nearly 90% of consumers reported that they were concerned about the impacts of their choices on the environment. And while $200 billion might seem like a lot, it's a small fraction of our annual spending power. If green products were truly mainstream, they'd be comprising the majority of the things we buy – and we're far from that point. Makower succintly sums it up with this statement: "two-thirds of Americans say they are buying green, but are spending barely more than a nickel per dollar doing so… how come we're not shopping our talk?"
I can think of a few simple reasons off the top of my head. There's the oft-bemoaned price barrier. There's the un-green choices we all make as a matter of convenience. And there's the simple lack of legitimately green products out there – why can't I buy recycled plastic DVD cases? To a certain extent, these responses are all valid. As economies of scale kick in, and awareness continues to rise about the impacts of our consumption, we'll see the market for green products continue to rise.
But these aren't getting at the heart of the issue. The real answer to Makower's question isn't one that either he or Mintel is going to want to hear: as any environmentally-conscious citizen knows, the greenest thing to do is not to consume at all. What Mintel calls the "true greens" are turning their backs on the market altogether, finding ways of satisfying their needs without having to buy a shiny new whatever. Why won't "green marketing" ever hit the mainstream? Because it's a contradiction in terms.
Creative, resourceful, and thrifty, environmentally conscious consumers often aren't consumers at all, but creators. When we're not saving money and the environment by getting our stuff used, we're excercising our imaginations and our power to network by making it ourselves.
I'm not naive enough to think that the rest of America will start using craigslist over Sam's Club, or that any of us can get everything we need without having to buy new. Most people would rather just buy a bookshelf than download open-source instructions for making one. And we can't have any semblance of a contemporary lifestyle without relying mass production. Lots of products are better left to be made in factories by experts – who'll be keeping themselves busy for the next few decades figuring out how to do it all cradle-to-cradle. But as for the "green marketing rennaissance" that Makower's holding out for? I'm hoping it'll never happen.
The Zero-Energy Chinese Cancer Factory
January 30, 2007
Looks like Ed Mazria has one more case study for Architecture 2030 (see post below):
Sustainable Design Update reports that uber-architects Skidmore, Owings and Merril have designed a skyscraper in the booming Chinese city of Guangdong that produces all of its electricity on-site. The building uses site orientation, hi-tech window glazing, air circulation strategies, and heat-absorbing materials to reduce energy consumption by 60% over a conventional building of the same size, and the reduced energy needs are met by PV panels and large- and small-scale wind turbines. Sounds pretty sustainable, right?
Except for one thing. The building is the new headquaters for the Guangdong Tobacco Company – an arm of China National Tobacco Company, the largest cigarette manufacturer in the world. In a country where smoking is a part of the national culture, the government-owned CNTC provides Beijing with billions of dollars in taxes every year, while feeding the addictions of more Chinese than the entire US Population.
The Guangdong Tobacco building provides a fine example of the inscrutable ethical knots found at the intersection of capitalism, globalization and sustainablility. To be sure, we should be doing all we can to reduce our global carbon footprint, especially in emerging superpowers like China. But is it ethical to build a green skyscraper, even a zero-energy one, if the building's client is cutting short the lives of hundreds of millions of people? And what if the profits from that client are helping finance education, infrastructure improvements, and renewable energy? Tricky times, indeed.
The Carbon Economy
January 29, 2007
Last week I outlined a couple options for starting to regulate our carbon emissions on a national scale. Implementing either a national carbon tax or a cap and trade system would be a huge step towards what you might call a "carbon economy": a world where the CO2 we emit is tracked and regulated as carefully as the dollars we spend or the calories we consume.
The first saplings of the carbon economy have already sprouted. Elementary carbon footprint calculators let the curious and concerned estimate how much carbon their activities are responsible for (my footprint was about 10 tons of CO2 per year when I calculated it in November). Taking it a step further, offset programs such as Terrapass and CarbonFund have become a popular way to "cancel out" a person's carbon footprint, with the proceeds going towards activities such as tree planting and investments in renewable energy.
But these steps are probably somewhat premature. For starters, the benefits of offset programs are hard to verify without any standards or regulatory bodies. Moreover, offsets are hardly a long-term solution: we can't solve the climate crisis by doing the same thing as always and paying somebody else to fix it. Instead, we need to start figuring out how we can cut the carbon out of our lives for good. This means keeping careful track of the emissions we're responsible for, down to each and every purchase we make.
The emerging field of life cycle analysis – whereby environmental impacts are identified across all stages of the production process – is making this kind of product-by-product awareness possible. Last month, for example, Jamais Cascio released a fascinating look into the carbon footprint of a cheeseburger, and concluded that every one pound burger was responsible for the emission of around 6 pounds of CO2 along its path to the consumer.
2007 has already seen the carbon economy gaining momentum. Last week, Sam's Club announced it would be selling the first "Carbon balanced" product, a pressure washer made by Karcher. For every washer purchased, Terrapass will offset 285 pounds of carbon (the estimated emissions from two years of use). Also this month, the UK supermarket chain Tesco became the first megacorporation to formally enter the carbon economy: each one of its tens of thousands of products will soon be labeled with the amount of CO2 emitted during their production and distribution.
The rapid trajectory of the nascent carbon economy – from internet calculators for envirogeeks to a major commitment from the world's fourth largest retailer – is nothing short of astonishing. In the coming months and years, we'll see it continue to become a powerful influence in our lives, as the reduction of our collective carbon footprint becomes an ever more urgent priority. Imagine Tesco's carbon labeling policy expanded to a federally-regulated system for all consumer goods. Imagine RFID tags that keep a running tally of a product's emissons from the mine to the landfill. Imagine a carbon credit card that taxes your cumulative CO2 load. Sound scary? Just imagine the alternative.
Product Green
January 26, 2007
Last semester I met a Gallatin marketing student named Annie who had an intriguing idea: applying the co-branding strategy of Product Red to environmentally sensitive products. In the past year, Product Red has successfully leveraged Bono's star power and the cultural influence of brands like Apple, Converse and the Gap to raise tens of millions of dollars for AIDS. What would happen, Annie wondered, if a similar cross-company brand was created for goods with greater environmental sensitivity?
At first glance, it seems like Annie was onto something. But for it to actually have a positive environmental impact, there's a number of issues that would have to be thought through. First off, standards would have to be developed to assure that the co-branded products were truly green; if they weren't stringent enough, the result would merely be greenwashing on a massive and coordinated scale. Maybe there could be a LEED-style checklist of attributes, with separate symbols on the (minimal) packaging certifying that the product contained non-toxic materials, recycled content, fair trade, or a low carbon footprint.
The second issue with environmental co-branding is the danger of the token green product. Suppose H&M decided to offer a fair-trade recycled hemp shirt – what about the hundreds of unsustainable products on their shelves? Running a special promotion like a co-branding campaign creates the mindset that sustainability is a bonus, when it should be an imperative. Finally, even the most environmentally responsible co-branding campaign wouldn't get across the message that we most need to hear: that we're addicted to consumption, and the environmental crisis is bound to worsen until we recognize and break that addiction.
Still, even as a Lime Green idea – that is, one that benefits the economy more than the environment – "Product Green" is worth a closer look. It has the potential to raise awarness of environmental issues to millions who currently could care less. And even if H&M doesn't switch their entire line to recycled hemp right away, they'd at least have something environmentally responsible for sale. And that's a lot more than you can say about them at the moment.

Foods that fool the eye usually are not a good thing. You know this is true if:
You've ever bitten into candy expecting sweet and gotten a mouthful of sour.
You take a big bite of your mother-in-law's scrumptious-looking meatloaf, only to conjure the image of a can of Alpo.
You munch on a deep-fried triangle-shaped pastry at an Indian restaurant expecting an apple turnover, and find that you're eating a curry-filled samosa that sets your face on fire.
On the other hand, it can be fun to pull one over on friends and family — especially on April Fool's Day — by serving foods that trick the eye. Bob Blumer, author of "Off the Eaten Path: Inspired Recipes for Adventurous Cooks" (Ballantine Books, $20), is the original chef du joke.
The star of "The Surreal Gourmet," which airs on the Food Network, Blumer devises entrees that would make Salvador Dali proud. Take,for example, his "diced" fish: He cuts firm-fleshed white fish into cubes and dots them with peppercorns for the numbers.
"Every day is April Fool's Day at my house," Blumer said from his Hollywood home.
One of his favorite gags is to tightly pack vanilla ice cream in a glass tumbler, re-freeze it, and then pass it off later as a glass of milk alongside a plate of cookies. "When you pick it up," he sa id , "nothing comes out."
Blumer, who used to be a manager for Canadian folk singer Jane Siberry, became a cookbook author despite having no formal training in the kitchen. But as he wasgrowing up, his mother took him to a variety of art classes, from batik to ceramics.
"I'm a playful person," he said, "and a lot of what I'm making is pop art meets the culinary arts. Pop art is instantly appealing, as are surrealists. You don't have to think about it a long time. It's just a visual joke."
Although Blumer's fare is more fit for grownups, his approach to food has inspired other authors, whose whimsical dishes beg for a seat at akiddie birthday or Halloween party. Clare Crespo, author of "The Secret Life of Food" (Hyperion, $19.99), creates "mushrooms" from meringue, records from black licorice and caterpillars from Hostess Sno Balls, with the help of some plastic googly eyes and pipe cleaners. Like Blumer, she has training in the visual arts, but not the culinary arts.
"I went to art school and had parents who were artists," said Crespo, of Los Angeles, "so I always looked at food as a medium or art supply." What sometimes inspires her are grocery store products, like the Berry Blue Jell-O that she uses to fill a goldfish bowl. Or she might see ingredients that remind her of other food, which is how she got an idea for "sushi" cupcakes — a concoction wrapped in a sheet of green fruit leather (Fruit Roll-Up) to resemble a California roll.
"I was making a cake and the frosting was powdered sugar, sour cream and coconut," she said. "Mixing it up in the bowl it was like, 'Wow, it looks like sticky rice you'd see in the sushi bar.' "
And then there are the flip-flops, which made the cover of her book. She belonged to a supper club, and one time the theme was "dishes that remind you of summer."
"Flip-flops are my favorite thing about summer," said Crespo, so she created an edible pair from potatoes and green beans.
Crespo said art should not be reserved for painting class, but may be implemented in daily routines, like making sandwiches.
"What I want to pass on to the world is to look at everything in your life as a basis of creativity," she said.
April Fool's Day menu Salad: A bed of greens topped with edible flowers, served with dressing on the side in a watering can Appetizer: Ham and "Eggs" or Potato Flip-Flops Entree: "Bed" of Polenta Dessert: Pound Cake "Fries" with Raspberry "Catsup" or Jell-O Aquarium Beverage: Strawberry "Pepto-Bismol" milkshake

Yeah, but it wouldn't "have to be".
If you have a coax from the 2-way that runs to a more convenient location, even if this is a long coax, it will still work fine.
So I wouldn't need to move the router? Right now it is behind the 2 boxes that are 60 feet away. That would be cool if I left there. I have plenty of extra coax, 2 at every box and 4 in the living room

More than 1,200 football players from across the country tried out to be extras for the film and Visser was announced Tuesday (Aug. 10) as one of only 38 participants who made the cut.
Visser was among hundreds of hopefuls who showed up last week vying for the movie's football-player roles. The tryout took place at the Coopersville (Mich.) High School football field for the movie, which is shooting in both the Coopersville and Grand Rapids areas. The production is about a man who attempts suicide and wakes up in the past to relive his high school football stardom, which previously ended when he was seriously injured.
The movie features prominent actor Kurt Russell as the head coach. It also includes Brian Presley as the football player and Melanie Lynskey as his wife. Former Oscar nominee Christine Lahti has been cast as Presley's mother.
Producers needed to fill the rosters for two teams, including "Team Coldwater", which is guided by Coach Hand (Russell), and "Team Cuyahoga" led by Marc Ellis. Visser will be a member of the Team Cuyahoga squad.Filming is scheduled this upcoming week for August 13, 16 and 17 at the Coopersville High School field from 9 p.m. - 6 a.m. In addition to the football players, extras are needed to sit in the stands during those hours. Refreshments, prizes and entertainment nightly are planned, according to producers.
The lower-budget independent film currently is in talks with distributors for a 2011 release.
In addition to Visser, the list also includes current Big Rapids High School football coach Mitch Cumings. Several players with ties to Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference member schools are also included.

While I may not be able to consistently drive the ball straight or sink those 15-footers for birdie time and time again, golf remains near and dear to my heart. I've had the opportunity to walk 18 with Tiger Woods at Baltusrol, share a laugh with Jim Furyk and see young players develop into today's PGA stars. I've even had a chance to tee it up at Pine Valley - twice. Some people don't understand the game, and that's fine. But once you dive into it and see all that it offers, it's easy to get hooked.

I doubt that's a Woodpecker's product, Woodpecker's forte is CNC machined aluminum.
I could be wrong, but most Woodpecker's work is pretty recognizable.

I believe Woodpecker closed out their pinnacle line and rebranded everything under their own name. The Pinnacle blades is a different company.

FBLA Readers Say Obama Outshines Oscars
Yep. When asked what the biggest media event of the year was – or which one they actually cared about…very few of you said the Oscars. Apparently the glamor and spark of a bi-racial, south paw raised by a single mother being sworn in as the leader of the free world trumps a night of the movie industry successfully legitimizing themselves through who they wear and who they thank.

Unicorn Kid interview: "Yeah I'm self-aware, but so is Rihanna."
Get to know Oliver Sabin, the funny and frank mind behind the outlandish, chiptune-pioneering online persona.
See the full gallery of light-soaked images of the Scottish popstar-in-the-making, taken by Laura Coulson for Dummy.
Published: 19/10/12
Photographer Laura Coulson met with Unicorn Kid recently to capture his image for Dummy's interview with him, and the results were so starkly and simply charming that they're worth sharing in full.
In his chat with Steph Kretowicz, the chiptune sensation revealed, sadly unsurprisingly but still very shockingly, that he came up against homophobia in his induction into the pop music business. Sabin explained "I had this agent who said, 'yeah, you need to stay in the closet. In electronic music you cannot be gay. Because women don't like it and men don't like it.' I was like, 'fuck that'."

I dropped my project with this company ages ago, to say they were less than honest and strange things happened quality wise would be an understatement.
Thanks for the update. I deal with China everyday and your results are common. Its a lot of work/risk and you have to be willing to spend time in China.
I was married for 10 years before my wife knew I drank.
Then one day I made a mistake and came home from work sober
One thing that might be of concern...as these are imported at a low cost from China, would be the presence of lead in the steel.

Kristin was extremely helpful and was willing to take the time to get to know my particular problem. She was willing to find a good compromise that worked for both parties. She is really confident in her abilities and will not let any opposing attorney bully her or her clients. I would highly recommend Kristin if you have any issues concerning divorce, child custody or child support.
I had contacted a few attorneys that I found through the internet, left messages, nobody would return my call. I called Kristin's office, they transferred me to her and within seconds I felt that Kristin was the professional I was looking for. She listened carefully to the information I provided, and contacted me with a plan sooner than I expected. Everything went very smoothly in her hands, and to think that we agonized over our problem for years! She is very trustworthy, her demeanor impressed me. She kept us informed through the whole process, always giving us updates, and that I believe is huge, as I dealt with attorneys before where you want to ask "hey, do you remember me?".... I would recommend Kristin's services to anybody, extremely satisfied customer.
A very difficult andchallenging time where support, and strength are needed. Kristin provided each as she was not only a sincere listening ear, but she was also that loving validating voice that met me where I was at, helped me to see the bigger picture and to press foward through the challenges! She is an INCREDIBLE person and attorney ! Thank you .
Kristin was very thorough, kept me informed and had solutions for issues that arose.

Zuqnin Chronicle
The Zuqnin Chronicle is a chronicle written in Syriac concerning the events from Creation to c. 775 CE. The fourth part of the chronicle provides a detailed account of life of non-Muslim Dhimmis in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Palestine and during Muslim conquest of Syria. It derives from the monastery of Zuqnin near Amida (the modern Turkish city of Diyarbakır) on the upper Tigris, but it was taken to Egypt where Western Orientalists uncovered and published it.[1] The work is preserved in a single handwritten manuscript, Cod. Vat. 162. This is now in the Vatican (shelf mark Vatican Syriac 162).
It exists in four parts. The first part[2] reaches to the epoch of Constantine the Great, and is in the main an epitome of the Eusebian Chronicle. The second part reaches to Theodosius II and follows closely the Ecclesiastical History of Socrates of Constantinople; while the third, extending to Justin II, reproduces the second part of the History of John of Ephesus (of interest because this part is lost elsewhere).[3] The fourth part is not, like the others, a compilation but the original work of the author and reaches to the year 774-775, apparently the date when he was writing.
Middle East historian Bat Ye'or describes the content of that last part:
- At that time, the dhimmis formed the majority of the rural population: small landowners, artisans, or share-croppers farming the fiefs allotted to Arabs; a numerous Jewish peasantry lived alongside Christian villagers: Copts, Syrians, and Nestorians. This chronicle reveals the mechanisms which destroyed the social structure of a flourishing dhimmi peasantry in the whole Islamized Orient. The continuous process of the confiscation of lands by the infiltration of Bedouin tribes with their flocks or by Arabs who settled at the time of the first wave of Islamization was aggravated by the [ Abbasid ] government's damaging fiscal oppression.[4]
Originally Assemani ascribed it to Dionysius of Tel Mahre, another Syrian chronologist of the late eighth century (hence, "Chronicle of Pseudo-Dionysius"; a name now deprecated).[5] On the publication of this fourth part by M Chabot, it was discovered and clearly proved by Theodor Nöldeke,[6] and Nau,[7] who independently reached the same conclusion, that Assemani's opinion was a mistake, and that the chronicle in question was the work instead of an earlier writer. This was a stylite monk named Joshua, at Zuqnin.[8]
The author was an amateur, not a historian by trade. His aim was moral instruction, not history as such; and he has been accused of plagiarism. However he was honest, or tried to be honest, in what he recounted.[9]
Cod. Vat. 162 is the autograph, and in fact the first draft of the manuscript. No further recension, or copy, is known.[10]

After having a chance to play with the ZTE Grand Memo yesterday, I was a bit perplexed. It was kind of slow. Actually, it was really slow - I haven't seen UI lag like that on a top-tier smartphone in over a year. It was terrible switching between tasks, and while ZTE's hilariously overwrought UI is likely slowing it down a fair bit, something just didn't feel right for a phone allegedly running on the very latest Snapdragon chip.
Update: Looks like ZTE may be fibbing a bit on the specs of this device, at least in what it's showing off as the "Grand Memo" at MWC...
Say hello to the newest entrant into the bigger-than-a-phone-but-not-quite-a-tablet arena: ZTE's Grand Memo. It's a massive 5.7" device with a resolution of 1280x720, Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB built-in storage, and a 13MP camera, running Android 4.1. While a 1080p display would've been a nice addition, there's no denying that the Grand Memo is quite a powerful device.
While NVIDIA may have just announced the Tegra 4 at CES back in January, that isn't stopping ZTE from promising to deliver the first "superphone" to use the powerhouse chip by the end of Q2 2013. Although the company is being scant on exact device specifications, we do know that it will not only use the T4 chip, but also NVIDIA's new i500 LTE modem.
For those who may have missed everything the T4 has to offer, here's a quick rundown:
- 4-PLUS-1 architecture, just like the Tegra 3
- 72 GPU Cores
- A15 architecture
- Optional LTE modem via the i500
Judging by the wording in the press release, ZTE isn't working on just one Tegra 4-powered phone, either.
The ZTE Blade III has been available outside of the UK since September of last year, but it's only just making its official appearance on British shores now, as a Virgin Media exclusive, for now at least.
The budget smartphone, which comes with a 4-inch capacitive display, 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM and 2.5GB of internal storage, is available for just £79.99 through Virgin Media on pay-as-you-go. If you'd prefer to be on a monthly contract, prices start at £18 for non-Virgin customers, whilst those who have an existing Virgin Media package can get it for £13 a month.
A couple of small OTA updates - both of which are primarily bug-fixers - are making their way to the Flash and Epic 4G Touch on Sprint this morning.
Flash owners, you can expect LED blink timing improvements, camera enhancements, better text input with Swype, and a tweak to the information provided in Settings > Applications > Running applications.
The list is actually shorter for the Epic 4G Touch, with only two things in the OTA: it adds Sprint's Connection Optimizer, and brings some security updates.
Fancy a new 5" superphone? ZTE may have something to pique your interest - if you live in China. The company's latest high-end device, the Grand S, was unveiled yesterday prior to CES, and we got some hands-on time earlier today. It hits all the right points: 5" 1080p display, 13MP rear camera, 1.7GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.1, LTE connectivity, and is a fairly stunning 6.9mm in profile.
But, ZTE wasn't shy about discussing market availability: China.
It seems like every month we get a new world's thinnest smartphone, but Chinese manufacturer ZTE knows that's a mug's game. They've decided to go for broke with the Grand S, which sports a 5-inch 1080p screen (like all the cool kids do) and still manages to fit into a case that's just 6.9mm thin at the thickest point. For what it's worth, that makes the Grand S the thinnest 5-inch, 1080p phone out there.
If you're looking for an LTE smartphone on a serious budget, look no further - MetroPCS may have just unveiled the cheapest LTE phone to date, in the form of the $150 ZTE Avid 4G. Yes, really, an LTE phone that costs $150. Color us shocked (well, as shocked as we can get about budget phones).
Of course, the Avid 4G is designed to also work with Metro's CDMA network, (thus that whole PCS business) so it won't do much good outside America's smallest national carrier.
Amazon just did some price slashing on a scale we rarely see, cutting costs for all sorts of new smartphones across the board. Hit up the list to see what's up for grabs. All of these deals are for both new customers and upgrades.
One X+ (AT&T) - $139.99 ($70 savings)
What more can you say about the One X+ than it's a One X but better? 64GB of internal storage, LTE, and Android 4.1, all on the most beautiful smartphone display I've ever seen.
Considering the multitude of leaks surrounding the device,, you probably already know basically everything there is to know about the ZTE Flash for Sprint. And now, The Now Network has made this mid-ranger official. The device features some pretty modest specs, along with a very Galaxy Nexus-esque form factor:

Dispatches From the South Pole Extra: Launch Video
Posted by: Geoff Gloeckler on December 20, 2011
We've been tracking the progress of the Polar Vision team since they began their expedition to the South Pole in late November. Currently, the team has traveled about 350 miles, with 150 to go. Today they sent over a video of their preparation right before they stepped foot in Antarctica. It's an interesting look at what they went through just before taking off. I recommend viewing it in full screen mode.
Polar Vision - Teaser Video from Polar Vision on Vimeo.
In late September we introduced you to team Polar Vision, Alan Lock, Richard Smith, and Andrew Jensen, three recent MBA grads who are trekking to the South Pole to raise awareness for visual impairment. While on their journey, the team will be filing periodic blog posts.

My answer to that is nada! Zippo! Zilch! As the weather
heats up from coast to coast, now is the time when artists turn their attention
to the excitement of landscape painting. But I'll be honest with you. I'm still
intimidated by the whole landscape painting process. There seems to be so much
to contend with-the weather, changing lighting conditions, the weather, packing
correctly...did I mention the weather?
That's one of the first questions I put to artist Caitlin Hurd about
her oil paintings, which feature dazed, inert figures floating through
the landscape. But they aren't floating as much as sleepwalking,
according to Hurd. "It all started with how I wanted to live
my life," she says. "Dealing with expectations of finding a husband,
making babies, living in a house—it felt like I could go through all of
the motions but be sleepwalking through life. That's why I try to do
whatever I do with purpose—thinking about what I'm doing before I do
it," she says.
Meeting artist and Studio Incamminati instructor Lea Colie
Wight was a little bit like meeting a favorite celebrity and miracle worker all
rolled into one. Lea's execution and subject matter resonates with me, but it
is her perseverance and desire to share common experiences in painting that
really lights the way, inspiring me to turn works of art that I'd given up on
as disasters into paintings worth saving.
