(CNN) -- What does it mean to be the largest of the 48 contiguous states? Plenty of space to play golf, of course.
The state of Texas does not lack for choices when it's time to tee it up, and the state's biggest city, Houston, is home to more than 200 courses within an easy drive from downtown -- easy, that is, if you don't get caught in the sometime maddening traffic jams on the loop around Houston..
All those state courses have helped produce some of golf's biggest names, native Texans such as Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lee Trevino, Ben Crenshaw, LPGA founding member Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Houston-bred Jimmy Demaret, who once said, "Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at." Jimmy, you might have heard, was a guy who liked to have fun.
Because there are so many courses, you shouldn't have a problem arranging tee times. Yet, when planning a golf outing to Houston, you must consider the weather.
The summer's scorching heat and high humidity can wilt even the sturdiest of players (and grass, too). Your best bet is to plan a trip between the late fall and early spring.
In addition, be aware that you might have to battle the wind. It can blow something fierce on any given day, which could be a good thing if you're up for the challenge, but a bad thing if you're easily frustrated or just wanting to enjoy a low-key round of golf. Either way, be prepared to adjust your club selection accordingly.
After flying into George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Friday morning, here's how we'd play it the rest of the weekend.
High Meadow Ranch: The course, 40 miles outside Houston, has received excellent reviews since it opened in 1999. Architects Tim Nugent and David Ogrin basically separated the 18 holes into three loops. The first six (Forest Loop) are surrounded by large oaks and pine trees; the second six (Pine Barrens Loop) offer larger landing areas and sweeping greens, giving you an open feeling; the final six (Signature Loop) have dramatic elevation changes and deep woods.
Meadowbrook Farms: Designed by Greg Norman, Meadowbrook Farms provides some of the elements of St. Andrews (sod-wall pot bunkers) with the typical Texas look (creeks, native wildflowers, large greens). It also features turf designed by Norman's company. Called GN-1, the hybrid Bermuda grass can be found on the tees, fairways and rough. "A quality turfgrass should be the tuxedo of a golf course," Norman states on the course Web site. But please, no sneaking any of the turf home for further examination. After all, it's not a rented tux!
River Ridge: Pecan trees, oak trees -- natural elements of almost every Texas course. River Ridge, 35 miles outside of Houston in Sealy, has both in abundance. The course also runs along the Brazos River, and the views are tremendous from almost every hole. There are three nine-hour courses, with architect Jay Riviere combining the Texas landscape with his designs inspired by classic courses such as Winged Foot, Oak Hill and Turnberry. Also take note of the nine fieldstone bridges. And at the end of the day, you can partake of some good ol' Texas barbecue.
Tour 18: Now that you've experienced what it's like to golf in Texas, here's your chance -- in just 18 holes -- to play re-creations of some of the most famous holes in the rest of the country. Among the selections: Augusta's Amen Corner, the 17th at Sawgrass (the island green), the 18th at Doral, the 3rd at Oakmont, the 8th at Shinnecock Hills ... well, you get the picture. Will you take it seriously? Probably not. Will you have fun? You probably will.

This Vintage Motorcycle is Actually an e-Bike
In recent years the e-bike market has absolutely exploded in popularity. Whereas once you could only find barebones electric-assist bikes, now there are retro-styled cruisers, big-wheeled off-roaders, 30 mph commuter bikes, and even discrete bikes you'd never realized were pedal assist. Now, Polish firm Kosynier wants to add to that growing list with these vintage cycles, which resemble motorcycles from the early 20th century. Each e-bike is handmade in Buk, Poland by local craftsmen, and the family-run company is looking to take things global. This month, Kosynier began crowdfunding on Indiegogo with a goal of raising $100,000 to support the purchase of components and to begin e-bike assembly. According to their timeline, the first batch of bikes will be ready in March 2017. RELATED: New Ford e-Bikes Give City Commuters a Reason to Cheer
So how did the company come to be? Brothers Marcin and Michal Bielawski started Kosynier with a love for both bikes, motorcycles, and classic cars. They also come from a family of craftsman—they grew up working with their grandfather in his forge, and their father produced farm machinery.
Now the Bielawski brothers will play their part and plan to launch three initial variants of the Kosynier e-bike: a deLux touring version (above), a Boardtrack sporty version (top), and a Cruiser which comes without an electric motor. Two more variants will be revealed next month and include a café racer version as well as a high-speed model with full fairings.
RELATED: The 2016 Bolt M-1 is Half e-Bike, Half Motorcycle
As far as riding performance goes, the e-bikes appear to be on par with other top performers. The pedal-assist Kosyniers are powered by a 300 watt rear hub motor and two lithium-ion battery packs (one in the faux V-twin engine, the other in the gas tank) providing 48 volts of juice. On road, the company says the top speed is limited to 15 mph but on private roads these can go as fast as 31 mph. Speedy. Pedal-assist range is an impressive 49 miles.
So far the company hasn't released official prices, but those who contribute to the campaign can nab bikes at a reduced rate. Indiegogo lists a standard Cruiser at $2,500, a Boardtrack at $3,900, a deLux at $4,900, and the yet-to-be revealed Speed model at a tall $15,000.

tomorrow marks the first day of the holy month of Ramadhan, or the fasting month for Muslims. It's considered as the month whereby Muslims are abstained from drinking, eating and conducting all other prohibited acts which would nullify their fasting.
most importantly, the morale behind this act of fasting is for Muslims to ponder and put themselves at the similar position and condition of those left without food and water and those who are suffering due to poverty or less fortunate life. It teaches us that all human beings are equal and remind us all of the main reason for our existence in this world is to be the caliph/ or vicegerent to safeguard the well being of the earth.
even at the time of typing this, and as per the previous years, i feel the unusual sense of calmness of the atmosphere seeping through the night air as if welcoming the awaited arrival of Ramadhan.
Im hoping that this month of Ramadhan will bring greater happiness, calmness and blessings to me, my family and friends and the world at large as it's arrival is highly awaited and once its ends, it will surely be missed. Kay2011

My Next Door Neighbor Died over the weekend
I swear I saw Marilyn only a few days ago... up and around and looking old and frail but not unhealthy.
Her daughter Jill is actually good friends with my ex. They became friendly after he and I broke up. I've seen Jill more than a few times at his old house (when he still lived there) for parties and stuff. I learned that Marilyn was going to be my neighbor at one of those parties. She and I compared notes about the building and such... when we finally got to our unit numbers were were shocked to find that we'd be right next to each other!
We weren't socially close or anything at all... said hello in the hallway and talked at building functions about Jill. Marilyn and I really only knew each other at all because of Jill's association with my ex which always seemed to linger just beneath the surface of any conversation we had.
I'll be attending a small ceremony Jill is hosting this Saturday.

Getting to know the neighbors is just a part of realizing that we're all connected.
(Fortunately, you didn't have to see them carry her out.)

Sorry to hear about that. People don't communicate with their neighbors like they used to. I'm glad you were able to have a relationship with your neighbor, no matter how brief it was. Sometimes small encounters are larger than most.

Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014. Snell said two Boeing employees reported seeing a male with a rifle near the cafeteria. Police from multiple jurisdictions searched the area and deemed it to be safe. Update at 9:20 p.m. | The search for a man with a weapon at the Boeing plant has ended, Everett police said. A man with a weapon was never located. Officials are confident there is no threat, Boeing said in a tweet. Employees have been allowed back inside the buildings. According to the Everett Police Department, the incident began when an employee called 911 around 7 p.m. and reported a suspicious male carrying a rifle outside a building. A second employee called 911 shortly after the first caller and reported seeing a man carrying a weapon. The two employees were interviewed by officers. Update at 9 p.m. | Officers are still searching the buildings in the area, Everett police said. A Boeing machinist who was evacuated from the wire shop in Building 40-56 said he didn't know of anything going on until a police SWAT team showed up with Boeing security and told him and his workmates to gather in the cafeteria. They said there was a report of a gunman in the building, described as a white male with a long gun. The cafeteria was so crowded that the workers overflowed into nearby conference rooms.

When news broke of a menu from a Liberal Party fundraising dinner which made offensive sexual references to the prime minister, the member who the dinner was raising funds for, Mal Brough, apologised and Liberal leader Tony Abbott condemned it. Rightly so.
Then, that evening, the restaurant owner claimed that the menu was an in-house joke that was never distributed to attendees. That set Brough up to deny on Thursday ever having seen the menu which he apologised for the day before and which, as Latika Bourke tweeted, he was aware of when she asked him about it. Tony Abbott then said it was time for everyone to move on, despite the fact that the Liberals' story of the menu never making it out of the kitchen just doesn't add up. It's also despite the fact that Tony Abbott had a fit of the vapours last year over sexist text messages sent by Peter Slipper, who Mal Brough is running against. It was Abbott's opportunistic outburst about Slipper's texts that led directly to Julia Gillard's misogyny speech. Whether it was distributed or not, was this menu a window into the Liberals' minds?
So the opposition is left looking like a bunch of headless chooks. That's how not to do it.
Here's how to do it:
A video made by army chief Lieutenant General David Morrison went viral last night. It's a response to new allegations of sexual abuse in the defence force. In it, he tells any serving soldier who would participate in, or even tolerate sexual and sexist abuse to get out and find another job. He didn't try to deny the problem. He didn't try to rationalise or minimise the problem. He spoke directly to the perpetrators and told them they were not welcome in his organisation.
And today, everyone loves the ADF. By confronting the situation and not insulting our intelligence by telling us it isn't happening, or accusing critics of playing gender politics, he did far more for the ADF's image than a year of weaseling and spin from Tony Abbott could do for his party. Australians know when someone is bullshitting. Lt Gen Morrison knows this. Mr Abbott still doesn't.
Watch and learn, Tony

This step-by-step tutorial explains how to configure the Mobotix D24M-SEC IP camera. The Mobotix D24M is a professional grade system that requires some effort to read the ~150 page D24M Camera Manual and ~300 page Software Camera Manual and experiment with different camera options. Or you can follow these quick instructions for this camera configuration and be operational within 1 hour.
Also see my Mobotix D24M-SEC camera review for sample images and features.
Baseline Mobotix D24M Camera Configuration
These step-by-step instructions show you how to:
- Assign a static LAN IP address
- Run the Quick Install wizard
- Configure Port Forwarding
- Set default network gateway, DNS and NTP servers
- Upgrade and format the flash memory card
- Configure port forwarding, DDNS and secure internet access (SSL/https)
- Install the ActiveX control for full motion video playback in IE8
- Adjust the Exposure settings
- Enable Continuous Recording with Video Motion triggers for high speed event recording
- Video playback and download
- Setup e-mail actions for alert notifications with an event photo
- Customize the softbuttons
The initial camera configuration is easy to customize once you've got the basics.
Bench Configuration
The easiest way to setup the Mobotix D24M IP camera is to configure it before mounting on the ceiling or the wall where it's difficult to reach. This is known as "bench configuration" because the camera is sitting on the desk or workbench. The camera saves its configuration in flash memory, so nothing is lost when you power down and mount it its final location.
DHCP IP Address
Begin by connecting the camera to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch port on the local network. My network Linksys WRT54G and NetGear FS108P network is illustrated in the diagram above.
Have a pen or small screwdriver ready, plug the Ethernet cable into PoE switch port to apply power, wait for both LEDs to light, then press the R (right) key button within 4 seconds. This causes the camera to request an IP address from the DHCP server – the Linksys WRT54G is the DHCP server on my home network.
Notice I've left the lens cap on the camera to keep out dust.
OK – the D24M network camera has pulled a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. How do you find the camera's IP address? Easy!
- Login to your Linksys router, typically this is at http://192.168.2.1
- Go to the Status → Local Network Page
- Click the DHCP Clients Table button
Look for the camera host name in the DHCP Clients Table. The cameras host name begins with 'mx' followed by the camera's factory assigned IP address. My camera was assigned the 192.168.2.104 IP address.
D24M Camera Web Page
Startup your favorite web browser and go to http://<camera ip address> as noted above in the DHCP Clients Table. In my example, it's http://192.168.2.104
The Authentication Required dialog is displayed. The default user name is admin and password is meinsm.
Quick Installation Wizard
The Quick Installation wizard should open automatically the first time the Admin user logs in. If it doesn't:
- Click the Admin Menu button on the left sidebar.
- Click Quick Installation in the Network Setup section of the Administrative Overview popup dialog.
The installation wizard begins with the Language selection:

Surrey FC adapted soccer team offers kids with disabilities a kick at the ball
Special Olympics coaches trained volunteers to work one-on-one with players
An adapted soccer program in Surrey, B.C., is giving kids with development and intellectual disabilities the chance to show their talent on the field.
Many of the children taking part in Surrey FC's new adapted soccer program have never played on a team before.
The program was started by Surrey FC director Rob Bura, who saw a lack of opportunity for his son to get on the pitch.
"I wanted a place for my son to play," Bura said. "He played on a regular soccer team, but it just didn't fit."
Bura said his son spent most of his time sitting on the bench instead of playing.
"The problem is the coaches aren't trained to play with these children," he said.
That's not the case with Surrey FC's new team: Special Olympics of B.C. provided training for volunteers to work one-on-one with the players.
Bura says the extra help has given the kids a big boost.
"It feels great," said Inmol Gill, one of the players. "You get the adrenalin pumping up and it motivates you to play more."
Parents hesitant... at first
Bura said Surrey FC had a difficult time getting some parents interested in signing up their kids for the team.
"I think parents don't want to admit to the fact that their child is disabled or developmentally delayed or autistic," he said. "They don't want the stereotype that their child is disabled."
Hina Masood admits she was one of those parents, but she decided the team could make her son feel included.
"I changed my perspective because I wanted him to be involved in some sort of sport. I wanted him to be involved in the game, to enjoy the game," she said. "And I think he is enjoying it."
Surrey FC said it's hoping to expand the program with kids of all ages so they can play bigger games on the full width of the playing fields.

In recognition of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services' 25th anniversary, over the course of the year, I will highlight 25 agency activities, programs, projects and accomplishments of the past 25 years. This article, the eighth in the series, describes the importance of wetlands protection to New Hampshire.
New Hampshire was among one of the first states in the nation to pass its own legislation to protect wetlands — those areas many call swamps, lowlands or marshes. Often regarded as wastelands, wetlands are actually very important features of the landscape that provide numerous benefits to people and wildlife — important enough that they have been protected since the 1960s.
In 1967, the Legislature passed the wetlands law to address tidal wetlands and surface waters. In 1969, the Legislature determined that fresh water wetlands also warranted protection. Although the statute has been revised over the years, its principal goals and focus still remain: ensuring that the exceptional diversity of wetlands that occurs across the New Hampshire landscape will continue to provide a multitude of ecological, economic and social benefits.
A wetland is a natural area that is often wet but may not be wet all year round, and is characterized by its distinctive hydrology, soils and plants. Calculating the economic value or importance provided by a single wetland is difficult. It is, however, possible to evaluate the range of services provided by all wetlands that have direct impacts on the local economy. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, supporting the fishing industry, storing floodwaters and providing opportunities for education and recreation. Destroying or degrading wetlands can lead to serious consequences, such as increased flooding, extinction of species, and a decline in water quality for recreating and drinking.
The mission of the DES is to help sustain a high quality of life for all citizens by protecting and restoring the environmental and public health in New Hampshire. One key role of the department is the management and protection of wetland resources while also accommodating potential development and the growth of a strong economy. The development of land and related activities may have impacts on both the quantity and quality of wetlands and wildlife habitat. Requiring compensation for the unavoidable wetland impacts resulting from development activities has been a part of the program since the mid-1980s and prior to the Wetland Bureau joining DES in 1987, and now serves as a critical program for addressing wetland loss.
Data from 1997 to 2004 reveal that wetland loss averaged 150 acres per year. Understanding the need to offset this loss, DES developed a compensatory mitigation program that involves a process of saving natural habitat by directing development away from sensitive areas and strategically implementing wetland restoration or upland preservation of critical landscapes to counter the loss. The DES wetland mitigation program strives to maintain the valuable wetlands we still have and to restore lost or impaired wetlands where possible.
In 2004, mitigation rules were adopted that establish what an applicant is required to provide for wetland compensation. The rules spell out ratios for wetland construction, restoration of existing impaired wetlands, land acquisition and upland preservation relative to the type of wetland lost due to development. While restoration of wetland functions is preferred, due to the limited number of sustainable options, preservation of upland buffers is often a large part of a compensatory mitigation proposal. In the years following the adoption of new mitigation rules, impacts decreased to an average of 75 acres per year with a total of 220 acres of restoration/enhancement and 12,567 acres of preservation achieved.
DES continues to improve the effectiveness of the wetlands program and recently adopted a fourth form of wetlands mitigation. The Aquatic Resource Mitigation Fund Program provides permit applicants with the option to contribute payments to a special mitigation fund in lieu of implementing a site-specific compensatory mitigation alternative. On a yearly basis, DES issues a request for proposals, evaluates the proposals received, and awards grants to those projects determined to have the highest long-term environmental benefits in the specific watershed. By continually adopting improvements, such as the addition of the ARM Fund, DES has improved the operation of the program and the protection of wetlands in the state for the benefit of all of our citizens and visitors.

Red Hat Exchange gets appliance, services boost
When the Red Hat Exchange (RHX) launched alongside Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5) in March and was expanded upon at the Red Hat Summit last May, I'm not sure a lot of people knew exactly what to expect from it.
Red Hat's vice president of global engineering, Paul Cormier, compared RHX to Amazon, in that both services allow users to comment on and rate the "products" being sold on the site. In RHX's case, these products were open source applications being offered by companies like Alfresco (content management) and Zimbra (messaging and collaboration), to name a few.
Red Hat's director of online services, Matt Maddox, compared RHX to an open air market and even showed Summit attendees a digital short of some Red Hat staffers navigating a real life open air market searching for fruits and vegetables.
When the service launched more than six months ago, there were 12 companies. Today there are a few more, but only recently has Red Hat really started to solidify what the real goal of RHX might be. Part of that goal was revealed last week, when the Red Hat Appliance OS became a reality. This "optimized version" of RHEL will be offered to ISVs along with a virtual appliance development kit (VADK) sometime in the first half of 2008.
The way this ties into RHX is that a wide range of software applications on Red Hat Exchange (RHX) are already available for trial and purchase as pre-configured software appliances. With an RHX and AOS combination, Illuminata senior analyst Gordon Haff said Red Hat could streamline the appliance distribution process, but he also stressed it's too early to give a definitive answer on that front. "We'll have to see how the integration with ISV updates and so forth gets put into place because that's an integral piece," he said. More to come from Red Hat on that point sometime in 2008, I'm sure. Perhaps at next year's Summit?
Further RHX updates were offered up by Red Hat via their news blog earlier today:
Expanded products and services from red hat partners
- Groundwork Monitor Pro will be available with three levels of support on RHX. Groundwork will also offer installation and training services through RHX.
- JasperSoft will offer JasperAnalysis through RHX with two levels of support. JasperSoft will also offer implementation and training services through RHX.
- Zmanda will offer Zmanda Network for Amanda Enterprise on RHX with back-up clients for Unix and Linux. This offering comes with three levels of support. Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL and Zmanda implementation services are available through RHX as well.
Expanded Support Offerings
- RHX will also begin offering significant enhancements to its support offerings with the availability of 12×5 and 24×7 phone and web support.
Or course, there's also that little point about how RHX could, in all actuality, be a personal incubator for future Red Hat acquisitions, but there's nothing much to report on that front just yet. Or is there?

How bra-zen of you! January Jones shows off cleavage in sexy open suit at the Hammer Museum's annual gala
He most famous role is the buttoned-down Betty Draper.
But on Saturday night January Jones didn't even wear the shirt.
The 38-year-old wore a sexy black two-piece suit to the Hammer Museum Annual Gala, with her matching black bra on display.

Her famous blonde tresses were combed back to also showoff her flawless make-up, highlighting her perfect cheekbones.
January shared a closer look at her awesome make-up job on Instagram on the way to the event, flashing her icy blue eyes with a 'BOO!'.
Among those joining her at the star-packed 14th annual gathering in Westwood was Isabel Lucas, Jodie Foster, Amanda Peet, Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts, Alessandra Ambrosio, Alexandra Hedison, Sarah Williams and Joel McHale, Tom Ford, Mamie Gummer, Andie MacDowell, Laura Dern, Selma Blair, Jane Lynch and Mischa Barton.
Confident: The X-Men actress left the jacket unbuttoned, flaunting platy of cleavage along with her toned tummy
Be a style star in Saint Laurent
Two-piece suits are hardly reinventing the wheel. We've loved this timeless look on women since the beginning of time but we would be lying to say that we haven't noticed that this style is experiencing somewhat of a revival as of late.
This is becoming a go-to look among A-listers for red carpet events. Which is understandable because this structured look can be almost as sexy as a high hemmed, plunging neckline mini dress (if that's your thing).
January's tuxedo blazer is by Saint Laurent. We love that she layered it over a crop top paired with some leg-lengthening trousers. .
The good news is that we can purchase this exact jacket by clicking right to FarFetch. But with fair warning, this tailored beauty doesn't come cheap so we've rounded up the best high-street alternatives that the web has to offer. Take a look below to see if anything catches your eye!
On display: Her famous blonde tresses were combed back to also showoff her flawless make-up, highlighting her perfect cheekbones
The actress revealed recently at an AOL interview why she is so private on social media, as well as the very famous name who advised her to do so.
'My sister is my social media guru. She's the one who made me do Instagram. I wasn't relevant, apparently. She thought it would be good to show a different side of my personality because I've always been so private,' she said.
'This is going to sound pretentious, but Jack Nicholson told me once that I shouldn't do interviews or give people any insight into who I am,' she added. 'He said to keep as much as you can private so they believe you in the characters you play.'
'My family did not choose the business that I chose. If I post a picture of them, I ask first. They want to maintain their privacy.'
The mother of one has not even revealed the identity of the father of her son, Xander.

NFL Conference Championships
Here goes nothing…With 2 games left to the Superbowl, do I have some winners for you. For the record, I'm 6-1-1 in the playoffs. Not bad for crunch time…
NY Giants at Green Bay Packers -7: The Giants' bubble will burst this weekend. No way will Eli repeat last week's performance, especially on the frozen tundra. Ryan Grant's first playoff game jitters are outta the way, Brett Farve's destined to go to the Superbowl and take down the Pats. This is a no-brainer.
San Diego Chargers @ New England Patriots -14: Don't get fooled by the big spread. The Chargers are hurting in the RB, QB, and most every other position. The Pats are gonna spank L.T. and his crew for talking smack after last season's playoff loss. Major ass-whoopin' coming up.

I agree with your picks, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants won in Green Bay.
The Giants have been playing better than anyone in the NFC over the last month and the love fest over Favre and the Packers is just a bit overrated.
Comment by Mark | January 18, 2008 |
Wooo, Giants. 😀 A no-brainer, eh? I'll give you that though.. The Giants are my team and I not only picked Green Bay over them, but I picked Dallas over them. With this steamroller of morale though, I think they have a legitimate chance of taking the bowl.

MegaFest, Bishop T.D. Jakes' massive annual gathering of evangelical Christians, is a pretty big deal, a $10 million production that draws 100,000 incredibly well-behaved visitors. The Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau was so stoked when Jakes decided to move the festival to Dallas, it chipped in a half-million dollars.
But it wasn't clear exactly how big a deal MegaFest 2013 would be until Jakes and Joel Osteen announced in a recent video that the Houston megapastor will be lending his silver tongue and waxen Ken-doll good looks to the conference.
It's clear from their banter that both Jakes and Osteen are very excited about the chance to collaborate. The key exchange goes like this:
Osteen: When you called and invited us, I thought "What a great thing to be a part of," and I'm just inviting everybody to come along to Dallas and -- you know, you're always looking for an excuse to get together. Why not get together with other believers, get inspired in your faith, and have fun at the same time. There's no better people to hang out with than Bishop T.D. and first lady Serita. We're looking forward to it.
Jakes: I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to, your wife Victoria and you are going to double-team the "Woman Thou Art Loosed"
Maybe the phrase "double team" has different connotations than in the secular world. It certainly brings to mind unwelcome images that will probably help cement our place in hell.

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Luckily for our eternal souls, we plan to be in Dallas on the weekend of August 29, when Jakes promises that he and Osteen will "tak[e] Dallas over for Jesus." We're ready.

If you ever find an abandoned Linux server running WordPress on your network that was left for dead but still running somehow, here are some tips on what to do. I just went through this and was amazed when I discovered the WordPress install wasn't compromised.
1. Get root. Kind of goes without saying. Get console and if you don't have the root password to the box, you're not going anywhere.
2. Get mysql root. WordPress is probably running mysql as a the backend db. If you don't have that, reset it.
3. Get into mysql at the command-line and find the wordpress db to get to the wp-users table.
mysql> show databases;
4. Your db is probably titled "wordpress" but it could be a variant of that.
5. Select the wp-users table in your WordPress db and reset the password for the ID =1 user.
mysql> use wordpress
mysql> select ID, user_login, user_pass from wp_users;
6. Reset that password in the table for the ID 1 entry
mysql> update wp_users SET user_pass = MD5('newpass') WHERE ID=1 LIMIT 1;
7. That should give you login to the old WordPress site (http://www.site.com/wp-admin/) via the browser.
After you are able to login, I wish you the best. Unpatched WordPress sites are a constant target for bots in need of sites to host malware, so you are very lucky if you find the site has not been compromised. When I logged-in, I found a WordPress 3.2 site which puts it at about 4 years old against the release history.

Topic : Developing a marketing plan template.
Author : Fern Janssen.
Published : Tue, Oct 08th 2019 16:13 PM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
There is a generic template that is available for all types of businesses. To make a business plan template, you need to modify the standard template that is suitable for your industry and business. The style of writing, the overall organization and the presentation of the ideas is what makes a good business plan template. Creating a template involves a significant amount of research, re-thinking and planning. Detailed notes regarding the sources of information and the underlying assumptions that support the financial data and information must be kept carefully for quick and easy reference as and when needed.
With a wide range of free business plan templates available online, be sure to search for one that suits your business. There is no point using a plan designed for an accountants firm when you are starting a fast food franchise. Plans suitable for Windows users are available as MS Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. While Excel can be daunting if you are not familiar with it, plans on Excel are often very good to work with. Since Excel is one of the best spreadsheet programs out there it is well worth learning how to use it.
There are many firms that can help you make a business plan template. These companies charge around $300 to $100 for a well-written plan. If you are on a tight budget then you should take the services of an internet-based company. This solution is much cheaper than the one mentioned above. Keep in mind that the exact cost depends on the amount of details you need. No matter which method you choose, make sure you provide enough information to your planners. Communication is very important.

Record Theatre is now permanently closed.
In its glory days, the "World's Largest Record Store" had multiple locations located in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo. Now down to one on the corner of Main Street and Lafayette, it is truly the end of an era for Record Theatre. August 27 marks the day Record Theatre will close its doors after 41 years. Word of the final store's closing came in June, a few months after the death of founder, Lenny Silver.
When he opened the first Record Theatre store, Silver already had over 20 years in the music industry. Silver started his career as a stockboy for a record store in Rochester. At 17 he joined the Navy and served as a radio operator in the South Pacific during WWII. After the war, Mr. Silver returned to the store and rose from stock boy to sales to buyer. In 1954, Silver moved to Buffalo to work at a record distribution company and eventually start his own wholesale business in 1964. His business would become the fourth largest record distribution company in the country.
Having a hand in every aspect of the record industry gave Silver an advantage. In the way, it operated and the way it appealed to multiple generations, Record Theatre was a trend-setting store. Silver's business model has had a huge influence on the industry as we know it today. Record Theatre opened its first store in 1976 at 1800 Main Street. In the late 70's it was the largest record store in the world, measuring 25,000 square feet of retail space. Through the years stores would open and close in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo. At the time of Silver's death, there were only two left; University Plaza, which closed earlier this year, and the original on Main Street
