DEARBORN, Mich. - "She's got malformed front legs; she was born that way," said Elaine Greene, executive director of Friends of the Dearborn Animal Shelter.
But it hasn't stopped the 1-year-old Chihuahua mix from getting around. That's why the staff at the shelter named her "Victory" when she was dropped off two weeks ago.
"She's very sweet," Greene said. "She's like a little clown. She loves to show off."

It might give you a chuckle to see a dog balancing on two legs, but Greene said it's no laughing matter.
"A dog like this needs protection because when she walks, she's scraping her elbows and it could develop a wound," she said.
The shelter would like to get Victory a sled to help her get around indoors, a set of wheels to help her when she's outside and a vest to protect her paws. All of it will cost upwards of $2,000, but Greene said if people can help out, maybe one day Victory can help others.
"I'd love it is she could become an occupational therapy dog to help people with similar deformities," Greene said.
To donate to Victory, go to www.dearbornanimals.org and click on her picture.

The Shock Wave sabot has a spire point bullet with a polymer tip that is specifically designed as a muzzleloading sabot bullet, not a conventional handgun bullet converted to a muzzleloading projectile. The Shock Wave incorporates modern technology previously only applied to centerfire rifle bullets. The polymer tip of the bullet increases the ballistic coefficient for sustained high velocity down range and it facilitates rapid expansion at impact. The bullet has a hard lead core with walls interlocked with the jacket for maximum weight retention and expansion.
Technical Information
Sectional Density: .179
Ballistic Coefficient: N/A
- Jacketed hollow point
- This bullet is intended for a .50 caliber black powder muzzle loading rifle use. It has a 50 caliber sabot which falls away when the bullet leaves the muzzle.

With spring around the corner, mating season is picking up and the Zoo family is starting to grow. In the past month, Oakland Zoo has welcomed four new kids, three pups, a blue-bellied roller fledgling, and some blue spiny lizards, all of which have been born here at the Zoo.
Wait, whose kids are being kept at the Zoo? Well goat kids, of course. New comer goat resident, Annie, was in need of a home, so Oakland Zoo took Annie in to join the rest of the trip (group of goats). Zoo staff knew little about Annie's history, but soon found out she was expecting. Oakland Zoo doesn't normally breed goats because so many are already in need of homes. It's very common for a goat to have one, two, or even three babies, called kids, but with much surprise to staff, Annie gave birth to four healthy kids. These are the first kids born at Oakland Zoo in over fifteen years. They have been a joy and a big hit to have around, and they are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. There are two boys and two girls named: Jeffrey, Cowboy, Maggie, and Norma Jean.
Next, the announcement came that three meerkat pups were born. This is also very exciting for the Zoo, since this is the first successful litter of pups in over a year. Since the meerkat mob has such an interesting hierarchy structure and infanticide is not uncommon, zookeepers have been keeping their distance when observing the mob. The pups do have names that are African in origin: Ayo, meaning joy, Rufaro (happiness), and Nandi (sweet). The mob is doing well and there are now a total of eight meerkats at Oakland Zoo. Keep your eyes open for these adorable six-week-old pups all over the internet, People Magazine, and even Good Morning America. Make sure you come out in person to take a look before they grow as big as the adults.
With all the fuzzy cuteness, one can't forget the reptile and bird newborns as well. In the Aviary, two adult blue-bellied rollers gave birth to a baby. Blue-bellied rollers will eat flying insects in the wild, but get to enjoy a much more diverse diet at the Zoo that includes mealworms, crickets, hardboiled eggs, baby mice, and even small reptiles. They are often spotted in pairs and will nest in holes found in trees. Fledglings are able to fly within about four weeks. This lil' one is doing well.
In the RAD room, there are more blue spiny lizards to add to the reptile family. This creature is very fascinating. They are ovoviviparous, which means that the mothers have eggs, but they do not get laid. Instead, the eggs stay in her body until they are ready to hatch, which then results in live birth. Once the male lizards mature, they will develop blue patches on their bellies and on the underside of the neck. This lizard is from the Southwest region of the US, but is closely related to the Western fence lizard, which can be found all over the Bay Area. Something that guests will often see on exhibit are the males displaying to the females by showing off their blue belly patches and bobbing their head. Another interesting fact about all reptiles is that their sex is determined based on which the temperature of the egg is incubated at, like mentioned in the spotted turtle hatchings blog a couple months back. Due to this, we know that most of the babies at the Zoo are male. Did you know Oakland Zoo has had over 200 blue spiny lizards born here since 2007? Where do they all go you ask? The answer is some stay here and some go to other AZA zoos and facilities across the US and Canada. There is much time and research that goes into this transfer process, but it has been very successful for the animals and organizations involved.
So there you have it – an update of the Zoo's most recent baby bonanza. Make sure to stop by and visit soon before they grow up. You can also see pictures, videos, and new updates of the baby animals and all that Oakland Zoo is doing on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr.

At the end of the Canada vs UAE Intercontinental Cup fixure on Sunday, Cricket Canada head coach Gus Logie offered the following comments in summary Canada's performance and looking ahead to WCL 50 over and CIBC International T20 fixtures this week:
"After a rained out first day and only limited play possible on the second, it was a credit to the ground-staff for providing us with two and a bit days of cricket which Canada made the most off.
Securing first innings points on the heels of brilliant bowling and fielding to restrict the UAE for 116 was a joy to watch, and following that with brilliant batting to set up an improbable win made for a very competent performance from the Canada team.
Credit to all the players involve and those that made hundreds and taken wickets, In the end we did not achieve our goal of an outright win, but we would have done our confidence a world of good going into the ODI phase of the tournament.
We expect to continue our form and take a high level of confidence into the rest of this series." - GUS LOGIE

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/12/2012 (1699 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
VANCOUVER -- This holiday season, Norm Flynn attended 11 parties in eight cities across Canada.
If things go according to plan, he will have a chance to travel to even more in 2013.
Flynn is the founder and executive director of Vancouver-based Hockey Education Reaching Out Society, more commonly known as HEROS. Operated mainly by volunteers, the group's program assists youngsters in some of Canada's poorest neighbourhoods.
The parties, which included dinner and gifts for program participants and their families and donations to community groups, were extensions of regular on-ice and off-ice sessions that include hockey instruction and off-ice counselling.
Since Flynn started HEROS in 1999, it has expanded from 13 youngsters from Vancouver's notoriously poor Downtown Eastside to more than 450 -- and counting -- per year in communities ranging from Calgary to Toronto and points in between, but not Saskatchewan or the Maritimes -- yet.
"We're researching a couple of new locations (for HEROS chapters) for 2013," said Flynn.
Since its inception, HEROS has helped more than 3,400 boys and girls. For every kid that is in the program, there are two or three times that many who can't get in because of limits on numbers that schools select, said Flynn. HEROS also attempts to control expansion in order to grow properly.
Flynn, 51, a former junior and university player, forged the idea for HEROS based on his own upbringing in Winnipeg's North End. As a youth, he fought frequently in his crime-laden neighbourhood before getting involved in hockey.
But Flynn, who now lives in Vancouver, did not like what became of some friends. Some joined gangs and were killed in shootings.
The former Colgate sales executive started HEROS as a volunteer while also investing some of his own money, modelling it after New York City's successful Hockey in Harlem project. In 2006, he gave up his business career to devote himself full-time to HEROS.
In addition to Vancouver, HEROS chapters operate on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast as well as in Calgary (two), Edmonton, Winnipeg (two), Toronto (two), Montreal, and Ottawa, which started up this year. Participants are chosen by schools in qualifying neighbourhoods.
Participants include native Canadians and immigrants, many of whom have struggled in school and are dealing with attention deficit disorder, fetal alcohol syndrome and other health issues. In addition to being bullied, some are trying to amend their bullying ways. Several early program participants are now involved as mentors in the group led by 100 volunteers.
Current and past NHLers have gone on the ice with the kids. Winnipeg Jets winger Evander Kane has participated in a HEROS summer session in his hometown of Vancouver and is expected to become more active in the Manitoba capital with HEROS once the NHL lockout ends.
HEROS also provides post-secondary scholarships for participants to help further their education. This year, 10 scholarships have been handed out, but the number is slated to increase to approximately 36 over the next two years and 50 within five years.
Nick Wilson, 24, who has been involved with HEROS for about 11 years, said the program provided him with opportunities that he would never have had otherwise. Wilson, now a HEROS mentor, grew up on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, where he still resides.
With financial and other help from HEROS, he was able to play minor hockey, get through college criminology studies and obtain employment as a recreational leader with an Aboriginal centre also located on the Downtown Eastside.
Wilson, who was raised by a single mother and is of partial Aboriginal descent, is going through the Vancouver Police Department's interview process and hopes to enter the police academy in the spring.
"It's a great stepping stone for me in my career," Wilson said of HEROs. "It gives (disadvantaged kids) the opportunity to experience a lot more than they possibly could."

Dell Earnings Disappoint as PC Sales, Windows 8 Fail to Save It
Tiffany Kaiser
November 16, 2012 7:19 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: greenrightnow.com)
Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion
Dell's financial report for the third quarter seems to have missed the targets predicted by Wall Street on many levels due to
sluggish PC sales
For Q3 2012, Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion from a year previous (Wall Street expected $13.9 billion). Its net income fell from $893 million (49 cents per share) in Q3 2011 to $475 million (27 cents per share) in Q3 2012.
A large reason for Dell's financial tumble is the lack of demand for PC upgrades. Dell's PC shipments fell 8.3 percent in Q3 2012 from a year earlier.
"In a difficult global IT spending environment we saw solid proof points that demonstrate progress in our strategy," said Brian Gladden, Dell CFO. "A highlight has been the strong progress of our newly introduced servers, with our server and networking business up 11 percent. We're also encouraged by early interest in our new Windows 8 touch portfolio and the opportunities it creates for our commercial and consumer businesses."
Looking forward
, Dell predicts a fourth quarter revenue of $14 billion to $14.4 billion, which is a bit less than the $14.5 billion analysts were shooting for. In Q4 2011, revenue was $16 billion.
In response to all of this disappointing news, Dell stock dropped to $8.81 this morning, which is the lowest its been since March 12, 2009.
While Dell is
looking to Windows 8 for some kind of revival
, the new operating system hasn't provided any immediate boost for PC makers. In fact, Gladden said Windows 8 wouldn't affect Dell's financial results for the next two quarters.
"The client business continues to be challenging," said Gladden. "Commercial customers tend to be lagging adopters of a new operating system. They're going to wait."
To make matters worse, Microsoft doesn't solely depend on PC makers for hardware anymore. Last month, it released its first tablet hardware,
Surface RT
, which features the RT version of the Windows 8 mobile OS. Next year, Microsoft plans to release the Surface Pro, which will run Windows 8 Pro.

A handcrafted knotty alder fireplace contrasts crisp architecture in the living room of this Michigan home.
Polished palette
A polished fireplace facade fits in nicely with the sophisticated feel of this living room. Colorful teal tiles mirror the room's seafoam palette, and the classic fireplace frame complements the room's clean lines.
Stylish display
Bring storage and style to a seldom-used fireplace. Woven baskets store firewood, while the mantel holds other earthy elements, such as evergreens and twigs, mounted on burlap backgrounds.
Modern beauty
This limestone-encased fireplace seamlessly bridges the natural exterior with the modern interior. Rough, textured stone contrasts with the smooth, clean lines of this living room. A neutral color palette balances the patterns of the fireplace and rug.
Kitchen cooking
Transform a kitchen fireplace into a wood-burning oven perfect for pizzas! This fireplace was modified to waist-level for cooking convenience. A mantle-turned-countertop provides a resting place for hot dishes.
Entertainment value
A painted frame seamlessly transitions the black flat-screen television to candy apple green walls. Natural brick on the fireplace offers texture and color contrast to the bold white, green and black decor.
Calming white
This painted white brick fireplace creates a calming focal point in a colorful room. The white mantel and shelves hold pieces mirroring the room's colors and patterns.
Relaxing retreat
Turn any bathroom into a luxurious retreat with the addition of a fireplace. We recommend a vent-free electric unit for easy installation.
Double take
This two-sided gas fireplace warms both the living room and a home office.
Scandinavian look
A cultured stone chimney without a mantel reflects this room's contemporary interpretation of clean, natural Scandinavian style.
Suburban update
White paint updates stock cabinetry flanking the fireplace in this suburban family room. The color not only lightens the room; it also makes the fireplace area a focal point, especially with the addition of a black-and-white piece of art.
Curve appeal
A distinctive arched opening draws attention to this fireplace. The painting above the mantel inspired the color choices, including the coordinating floor tile.
Natural inspirations
Artwork above the mantel echoes the outside views from this Lake Michigan home; decorative accents and the fireplace materials reflect the outside colors and shapes.
Molding accents
Big, bold molding and a high mantel create a striking fireplace with clean, simple lines.
Take it outdoors
This stucco fireplace anchors an outdoor patio designed for entertaining.

A new study shows the economic benefit of utilizing estrous synchronization (ES) and timed artificial insemination (TAI) can be up to $49.14 per cow. The study is the first of its kind to quantify the financial outcomes of using these technologies to increase the efficiency of cow/calf operations.
In this study, almost 1,200 suckled beef cows from eight locations were assigned randomly to one of two treatment groups: cows inseminated artificially after synchronization of ovulation followed in 66 hours with TAI versus cows exposed to natural service without ES.
For each herd, cows receiving the treatments were maintained together in similar pastures and exposed to bulls 12 hours after the last cow in the TAI treatment was inseminated. A partial budget analysis was used to determine the economic outcomes of ES and TAI on the production of weaned calves. Results demonstrated:
- The percentage of cows that weaned a calf was greater for TAI — 84 percent compared with the control cows at 78 percent.
- Weaning weights per cow exposed to treatments were greater for the cows in the TAI group.
- A greater percentage of cows exposed to TAI calved during the first 21 days than cows in the control group.
When all factors were evaluated, the study found a $49.14 economic advantage per cow exposed to ES and TAI compared with the control.* Location greatly influenced weaned calf weights, which may have been a result of differing management, nutrition, genetic selection, production goals and environment.
Having both the economic and production data for ES and TAI technologies can help cow/calf producers better evaluate these types of technologies for a reproductive management program unique to their operation. This information can help producers choose the right technologies for their operation, given the increasing number of options they have available for the synchronization of estrus.
The choice to use ES and TAI affects many parts of the production system, and producers can use this study to help evaluate the success of reproductive management programs. Since management plays a significant role in both the economics and production outcomes of these technologies, it's important that producers have the right information and understand how their decisions can impact profitability.
For more about an extensive, ongoing follow-up to study, read Ground-level research from Drovers/CattleNetwork.
About this study
Research for this study, "An Economic Evaluation of Estrous Synchronization and Timed Artificial Insemination in Suckled Beef Cows," was completed as part of Dr. John Rodgers' Master's of Science degree from the University of Minnesota in 2008 under Dr. Cliff Lamb. It is currently providing a platform for a larger study, the Multi-state Reproductive Project, a collaborative research effort that involves 15 cow/calf producers across the United States; the academic institutions of South Dakota State University, University of Wyoming and the University of Minnesota; and industry representatives from Pfizer Animal Health. This program began in 2009 and will conclude in 2013. It is the first of its kind — in relation to size, and for its multiple locations, disciplines and collaborators — that will provide a large database of information for future research.
About the author
Dr. John Rodgers holds a bachelor's degree in natural resource management from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 1983. Dr. Rodgers also completed his master's degree in animal science from the University of Minnesota in 2008 with a special interest in applied reproductive biotechnologies in beef cattle.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/11/2012 (1727 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MANITOBA'S health minister has ordered a clinic in St. Boniface to stop using infrared thermal imaging -- or thermography -- to screen for cancer.
The Thermography Clinic on Tache Avenue has until Tuesday to indicate in writing to her department that it is complying with the order, Theresa Oswald said, adding the province is prepared to take court action if necessary.
The clinic was operating below the government's radar until recent national media reports cast a spotlight on thermography. Businesses that employ it tout it as a painless, non-invasive test that does not expose clients to radiation. They say it can provide an early warning of the possibility of breast cancer and other diseases.
Medical professionals and the Canadian Cancer Society disagree, saying the technology both misses cancers and produces false positives, causing clients unnecessary grief.
Oswald said her department took action against the local clinic -- the only one of its kind in the city -- after it obtained evidence Tuesday it had offered a client a diagnosis.
"We've asked them to... respond in writing no later than the fourth that they have in fact ceased and desisted all such spurious diagnoses," she said in an interview.
Debra Duprey, who has owned and operated the business for six years, refused to comment at length on Wednesday, saying she's discussing the Health Department's edict with her lawyer.
She said her clinic doesn't detect breast cancer per se but "abnormalities of the breast."
According to her website, clients are advised to have two breast scans -- the first setting a baseline -- three months apart. The procedures are said to cost more than $200. The images are sent to the United States for assessment.
Oswald said Manitoba requires all diagnostic labs to have a medical director and any readings of a scan are to be done by a Manitoba physician. She said she also has a "moral and ethical difficulty" with diagnosing potential breast cancer using a test that has not been shown to be scientifically valid.
Health Canada issued a statement Wednesday saying no thermography machines have been approved to screen for breast cancer in Canada.
"Health Canada is not aware of any clinical evidence that thermography can be used effectively as a screening technique for the early detection of breast cancer. As such, it may present a potential risk to women relying on the results."
Jason Permanand, a spokesman for the Manitoba division of the Canadian Cancer Society, said his organization does not recommend thermography. "There's no scientific evidence that shows it's effective in detecting breast cancer," he said.
Linda Venus, a local breast cancer survivor, applauded the province's action.
"I have never used it (thermography) and I really don't know anyone that has used it. But I know that it is bunk," said Venus, president of Chemo Savvy, a Winnipeg breast cancer survivors dragon boat team with 60 members.
She said the clinics prey on women who want to be proactive about their health but eschew traditional methods. "They look for alternatives," she said.

Philip Hudson wrote:Lithuanian peasants do not nor have they ever spoken PIE.
I think the original comment came from the apparent belief among some linguists that, of all the known actively-spoken Indo-European languages, Lithuanian is considered to be among the most conservative, still using tenses and such that have fallen out of use in other modern languages. I've seen sometimes in etymologies that the current Lithuanian word is compared to the ancient forms in Latin, Sanskit, Greek, and sometimes Armenian.
The truth in each of these ideas is that people in isolated areas do, in some cases, hold on to speech characteristics that larger societies have discarded.
...which was pretty much the point of the original quote. Lithuania may have been ruled at various times by Germans, Scandinavians, Slavs, and even Mongols, but they usually concerned themselves with cities, leaving the folks in the countryside alone.
Being of peasant stock is not a shameful condition. Abraham Lincoln said God must love the common people best because he made so many of us.
Hear, hear. Proud of my Gullah heritage, even if I am a born-and-bred suburban New Yorker. I guess that was my comment on today's academics being too PC to refer to their contemporaries as "peasants." Or my opinion, in any case.

I looked at a few articles and I was confident in selling but at the last minute I though I should ask for advice since this is my first time.
My biggest concern is transferring the Wordpress blog to the buyer I basically need to know the steps to take in order to transfer the blog & domain to the buyer as smooth as possible.
The way I understand it, I just need to back up the database file and send it to the buyer then I transfer the domain to the buyer, I'm hosted on Godaddy by the way.
Can anyone please break down the steps for me and I would also like to know the best method of accepting payment because I was originally thinking of Paypal.
How much do you expect to sell the blog for? In general, it's better to use an escrow service to transfer a website, but if it has little to no revenue or traffic, it might not be worth it.
The basic steps to sell a site are:
You'd be surprised how many problems can come up during this simple process.
Transferring the blog can be tricky if you haven't done it before.
A couple of links for you if they help: my own article on transfers [http://www.experienced-people.co.uk/1022-transfer-site-new-hosting/ and a guide to transfer of Wordpress blogs [URL="http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/how-to-move-a-wordpress-blog-or-website/"]http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/how-to-move-a-wordpress-blog-or-website/](http://www.experienced-people.co.uk/1022-transfer-site-new-hosting/).
If you're moving servers/hosts, you need to backup the database and then upload the database to the new server. That's easier said than done because it's not as simple as uploading files/folders. The sending and receiving hosts may have different platforms/different facilities. If they both have the same control panel, it may be as easy as backing up on one and uploading on the other. OTOH, you may have to learn about the SSH command prompt, wget or phpmyadmin.
Have you considered hiring somebody to assist you? There must be a lot of people in Sitepoint for whom this would be child's play. (No, I don't take this on myself, sorry)
Thanks guys, really appreciate the advice
I like the idea of giving the buyer access to my hosting control panel. I just checked through Godaddy and they have 4 levels of permission:
1 - Administrative2 - Infrastructure3 - Content4 - Reporting
I'm not sure but should I grant the buyer Infrastructure or Content permission? and I also want to know more about the escrow service because I'm planning on selling my website for $300 it has a valuable domain name and the traffic is decent.
The details are going to depend on your host and registrar, but the article that Fruitmedley Post linked to above has almost all of the information you would need.
Another option to transfer the content is to just turn over the hosting account to the buyer. GoDaddy is a pain to transfer from because their control panel is lacking a lot of features available in other panels, and the buyer might want to take their time.
Regarding escrow, there are a number of options. GoDaddy offers an escrow service if you sell the domain there, and there is escrow.com, sedo.com, and others.
This article pretty much nailed it for me http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/10/16/how-to-move-a-wordpress-blog-to-a-new-host-dls-recipe/.
I now understand that since it's a WP blog I just have to hand over the theme, plugins and database. The buyer would then have to install WP on their own server and upload the theme, plugins and import the database file.
On Step 5 it talks about creating a new database or use an existing one but make sure the tablenames (table prefix) is exactly what it was on the old host.
This is where I'm confused, but since the buyer will install a new WP blog I would assume they would create a new database so all they have to do is import the database file that I give them, am I correct? If not can you please explain it further.
You would be making it much harder than it has to be. Since you don't know how to move the site, just make it clear that the seller is responsible for moving the site after you give them FTP access or allow them to take over the hosting.
I wouldn't recommend that the buyer installs Wordpress from scratch and then trys to upload your database schema, theme, and plugins on top of it, because there could be database changes between versions that would cause the upload to fail.
I'm not familiar with GoDaddy's hosting control panel, but if your hosting has cPanels and you've got Wordpress installed, then check out how to transferring Wordpress to a new host.
The potential problem is the prefix. If for example you're using the default prefix, the export file would use
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `wp_comments`;
CREATE TABLE `wp_comments` (
INSERT INTO `wp_comments` VALUES (
So if for security reasons they gave the database a different prefix, there would be 2 sets of tables, the wp_ one being inaccessible to them.And vice-versus if they used the default prefix and you didn't.
The only way I can think of to get around it is to start with the same prefix, either you changing to theirs first, or changing theirs after.
Of course if you're both using the same the problem is moot.
As I eluded to in one of my earlier posts in this thread, GoDaddy uses their own control panel that lacks a lot of features included in cPanel and Plesk, and is not very user friendly in my opinion.
I assume you posted in this thread mainly to drop your link to Flippa's guide to moving a Wordpress site on cPanel, so I took a look at it. Is there any reason that you decided to go through all the extra work of manually backing up the files and exporting the database (and essentially doing all the same steps in reverse on the new server) when someone could just go a full site backup and then restore that backup on the new server? It's basically 2 steps (full backup to remote FTP server, restore on new server) and there is almost no way to make a mistake.
It was a resource that I thought might help others, not just for this particular case. Do you berate FruitMedley when he links to Experienced People? I think not.
Luke, I didn't intend to berate you.
I suppose I was a little harsh, but that's because your post is not really relevant to the OP's question, since GoDaddy uses their own control panel, and I mentioned that above. If Fruitmedley or anyone else posted a link to his or her own site that provided little information that is on topic, I would have said something similar.
Also, I was asking a legitmate question about your tutorial. I generally do full backups because they are easier to move and I have never had a problem, but there could be limitations that I don't know about.
Fair enough benitez. I was merely providing it as a resource for others who may have cPanels accounts. It's a resource I looked high and low for and not finding it, created the tutorial for the 100's of Flippa Wordpress buyers/sellers.
To be honest, I haven't tried the backup method, so I'll give it a go and compare the two - seems like it sure would make life easier.
Luke, let me know how it goes. I have never used shared hosting, so maybe there are some people who can't do full backups, or some other catch that I have never encountered when moving my sites around or moving sites that I bought from others.
I had no problem finding several guides explaining how to move a cPanel website when I looked for some to see if there were any issues with using the method I recommended. Maybe your difficulties were a quirk related to the difference in our locations?
That was the only potential issue I could think of - multiple domains on the one cPanels account. Never used that type of hosting either so can't be too sure.
I had no problem finding several guides explaining how to move a cPanel website ...
Hmmm, perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough. It was a while back now so and I might have been searching for "move/transfer a wordpress blog".
Any update? I did a little research, and it doesn't look like cPanel supports hosting multiple websites under a single account. You can put multiple domains in an account, but I haven't found a way to host more than one website on those domains.
I'm pretty sure multiple sites can be hosted and administered in cPanels - I've seen Hostgator do this with their basic unlimited domain accounts. See Hostgator support.
So it begs the question: Can you backup a single domain from one of these cPanel account? I've asked Hostgator for an answer on this so we'll see what they come back with.
If you use reseller accounts, they each have their own login under the master account and can be accessed and backed up individually (at least when I have set them up).
It looks like there is a way to host multiple domains under a shared account, so I'll have to play around with cPanel some more.
This is the response from Hostgator in regards to backing up non-reseller unlimited hosting accounts:
The only options in cPanel are to generate a full web site backup which will back up everything for the account, a home directory backup which gets all of the files in your home directory including all of your web files for primary and addon domains, or database backups.
As benitez suggested - easy to backup and transfer if you have a reseller account but not so easy with a unlimited domain cPanels account.
Thanks for finding the answer to my question. Doing a backup in segments like that isn't too bad, but it does require the account to be set up on the new host.

Interview by host Kent Gustavson, PhD, on Sound Authors Radio. Ranges over much of the book, with some special emphasis on Antarctica. This interview has good detail on why current warming is solar-driven. Also a good discussion about terrorists obtaining nuclear weapons.
[Read the rest of this article...]
Sung to the tune of "More," this song speaks for itself.
Something is stirring in the fusion energy scene. "Cold fusion" is back as something called "nuclear electrolysis" – well funded by taxpayer money this time.
Two energy options are frequently advocated by nuclear power opponents: locally produced solar energy and ethanol.
Containing the energy released in a fission reaction is relatively trivial and easily accomplished. We do this literally everywhere on Earth in nuclear reactors. The amount of energy released in a thermonuclear reaction, however, is enormously greater and very much more difficult to contain.
In our earlier discussion about how fissile Uranium-235 drives a reactor, we also learned that Uranium-238 participates in the process by transforming into Plutonium-239 which is fissile like Uranium-235. In fact, this isotope of plutonium produces significantly more energy than Uranium-235. And the process continues to produce Plutonium-240 and 241. This raises an interesting question. Can we take these fuel rods that contain all this plutonium, separate out the plutonium and whatever uranium was not used, and make more fuel rods? You bet. In fact, we actually end up with more fuel after the process than what we started with.
Discussed global warming and its ramifications. Looked at exceptions to the "predictions" from Gore and friends.

SOHCAHTOA made a winning return from a break at Wolverhampton earlier this month and should follow up on his return to Dunstall Park in the coral.co.uk Handicap.
The seven-year-old enjoyed a decent year after joining David Barron at the start of last season, with a narrow verdict at Musselburgh supplemented by clutch of placed efforts.
Returning from just over three months off, the seven-year-old travelled well and finished strongly to record the first all-weather victory of his career almost three weeks ago.
Exning Halt should finally find the bullseye in the Free Bets Galore At bookmakers.co.uk Maiden Stakes.
Norton trainer John Quinn's four-year-old is proving a frustrating horse to follow, finishing in the first three on five of his ten starts but failing to get his head in front.
That said, he has been running consistently to a mark in the 70s in handicaps of late and if he can run to a similar figure on his return to maiden company, he will surely come home in front.
The Wolverhampton meeting goes ahead after passing a 6.30am inspection, but Kempton was abandoned due to ice crystals on the track.

MLK Day Celebration at Ithaca College will feature Talk by RFK Human Rights Award Winner
ITHACA, NY — Ithaca College's annual plans for honoring the life and lasting legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. will include a talk by a farmworker rights campaigner; a panel discussion and educational sessions; a concert featuring student, faculty, community and guest performers; and a day of service to local nonprofit organizations.
This year's campus-wide MLK Day Celebration on Monday, Jan. 20, is themed "A Single Garment of Destiny" — from a phrase used frequently by King in his speeches and writings, such as in his Letter from Birmingham Jail: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
All of the MLK Day Celebration events are free and open to the public. A more detailed description of the activities can be found at www.ithaca.edu/mlkday.
The keynote speaker will be Librada Paz, a leader in New York's farmworker rights movement. Her talk will be held at 4 p.m. in Emerson Suites, Phillips Hall.
At the age of 15, Paz emigrated from Mexico to the United States and began working in the fields. She experienced firsthand the hardships of sub-standard housing, long hours in grueling heat and the constant moves to follow seasonal crops. Even worse, as a young female farmworker, she suffered physical and sexual abuse by labor contractors and growers who were in positions of power.
Paz eventually stopped working on farms herself and became an activist for others. She currently conducts her human rights advocacy with the Rural Migrant Ministry, an organization founded in 1981 that focuses on rectifying the injustices that farmworkers face. She was the 2012 recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, given by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
The program will also include presentations by the first-year students in the college's MLK Scholar Program, who will share their experiences and personal reflections on the Civil Rights tour they took during the fall of 2013.
Below is the rest of the event schedule for the Jan. 20 MLK Day Celebration.
History of Student Activism @IC
9 a.m., Emerson Suites, Phillips Hall
A panel of alumni, staff, faculty and current students will discuss the campus climate and activism during critical periods in the history of Ithaca College from the 1960s to the present, including the founding of the African-Latino Society, protests against the Vietnam War and the selection of New York governor Nelson Rockefeller as commencement speaker, the South African divestment movement, the formation of the MLK Day Celebration and the creation of the Asian American Studies minor program.
MLK Educational Workshops
10–11:30 a.m. and 2:00–3:30 p.m., various locations, Campus Center
Faculty, staff and students will lead a series of concurrent discussions on a variety of civil rights topics, including gender equality, the responsibilities of global citizenship, African immigrants in the U.S. and sustainability.
A New Definition of Freedom: Civic Engagement & the 1961 Freedom Ride
Noon, Klingenstein Lounge, Egbert Hall
Showing and discussion of the PBS film "Freedom Riders" led by Tariq Meyers '14, who was one of 40 college students selected by PBS to recreate the historic Freedom Rides.
MLK Celebration Concert
7:30 p.m., Ford Hall, Whalen Center
The Ithaca College School of Music's annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. will feature American soprano Marlissa Hudson performing selections from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess."
Described as a "superb lyric coloratura," Hudson made her professional debut singing "Summertime" from "Porgy and Bess" with the Baltimore Symphony Pops Orchestra under the baton of Marvin Hamlisch. She later performed the role of Bess in a production of the musical by Union Avenue Opera in St. Louis. As a concert soloist, she has collaborated with such organizations as the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, National Philharmonic Orchestra, Prince George's Philharmonic and Choralis.
Directed by School of Music faculty members Janet Galvan and Baruch Whitehead, the concert will also include performances by the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra, faculty and students, and the Dorothy Cotton Jubilee Singers, a group dedicated to the preservation of the Negro Spiritual.
In addition to the events on MLK Day, Ithaca College students will take part in a Day of Service on Saturday, Jan. 25. From 9 a.m.–4 p.m., they will perform volunteer activities at nonprofit organizations throughout the community, including the Tompkins County Public Library, Finger Lakes ReUse, Woods Earth Living Classroom, Family Reading Partnership and Beechtree Care Center.
The college was awarded a competitive grant from New York Campus Compact and the Corporation for National and Community Service to assist in the Day of Service. The Collegiate Challenge grant will help pay for the transportation of the student volunteers.
The MLK Day Celebration is sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs. For more information, contact John Rawlins, assistant director for multicultural affairs, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "The Beer Industry of Florida (BIF) does not support current proposals that would virtually eliminate retail privileges for brewers. Brewers and distributors are good partners and some craft brewers need limited retail privileges to build their businesses. Therefore, it's in distributors' interest that small brewers should have a well-defined, limited exception in the statute that allows them to operate as retailers, both on-premise and off-premise."
"The Beer Industry of Florida has supported the 64-ounce container, also known as the 'growler' for three years in a row, with no strings attached. The trade association, which consists of MillerCoors beer distributors from across the state, has also supported bills that would preserve Florida's state-based system of alcohol regulation, placing reasonable restrictions on brewers' ability to operate as retailers."
"BIF will work with policy makers and industry members to permit limited retail privileges and other innovations sought by craft brewers, such as the 64-ounce "growler" container. However, it will oppose vertical integration of the industry that allows an industry member to operate in all three tiers in an unrestricted manner."
The Beer Industry of Florida, Inc. is a 501(C)6 trade association dedicated to promoting the responsible consumption of alcohol and the preservation of the three-tier system of alcohol distribution and regulation.

HOUSTON - A decaying bridge in The Heights has been deemed unsafe, but school buses full of kids have been spotted using it.
KPRC Local 2 obtained amateur video of a yellow school bus driving over the Yale Street Bridge.
The video was recorded by a member of a community organization group called Responsible Urban Development for Houston during morning rush hour on Oct. 11.
Members concerned about the bridge's safety wanted to see how bad the violations were.
"It's a story that school buses are crossing it, but the bigger story is that the city won't close it," said Jeffery Jackson.
According to Houston police, officers are supposed to be on the lookout for violators, but the force does not have the resources to enforce the new regulations around the clock.
On Wednesday, Houston City Council Member C.O. Bradford urged the city to do more to make sure the Yale Street Bridge is safe.
"Public Works has indicated the bridge is not safe for certain pickup trucks and SUV's," he said. "None of those are being stopped by the officers."
Local 2 called the private bus company seen traveling over the bridge for a comment, but that call has not been returned.
