(1)Neutralization section
After heating, oil is then carried out with caustic soda to saponify the fatty acids and to ease the removal of the precipitate in centrifugal separator. The contact is made in mixer, and then a short contacting time is allowed in reactor. The lye saponifies the fatty acids in the oil and forms soap stock, which is removed together with the gums and the excess caustic solution. The caustic soda solution is coming from the caustic dosing device. The neutralized oil still contains small amounts of residual soap, which must be minimized before further processing. Some soft hot water (usually boiler treated water or steam condensates) is added to the oil in mixer and is then sent to washing centrifugal separator, where the residual soap is separated from the oil. The oil is dried under vacuum as the residual moisture must be reduced. The oil is first heated in a plate heat exchanger, by means of low pressure steam. The oil is then dried under vacuum in the dryer. of the bleaching section with its vacuum group. Then the oil is sent to the bleaching section by pump.
2)Bleaching section
Crude oil is fed to the oil-earth mixer through heat exchanger and heater. Prior to bleaching, the bleaching earth is dosed into the oil by means of a volumetric dosing system. The bleaching earth hopper is installed above the oil-earth mixer and assures continuous operation of the plant. The hopper can be automatically filled by means of the pneumatic earth feed assembly. After bleaching earth dosing, the oil flows into the bleacher. After bleaching, the oil-earth mixture is sent to filter and security filter by means of pump. After the filtration operation, oil recovery from spent cake is done by steam blowing and the spent cake is discharged and evacuated through a chute to a disposal container.
3)Deodorization Section
The bleached oil is first de-aerated in a buffer tank, It works at the same vacuum as the deodorizer and acts also as buffer feed capacity. After deaerator, Oil is sent by pump to be preheated by the heat exchange with the deodorized oil to a temperature between 190° and 210°C, and deodorized oil is cooling to a temperature of about 135°C. Finally, the oil is heated by conduction oil or high pressure steam until it reaches the final deodorizing temperature. After deodorization, the oil is cooled with feeding oil, polished, and pumped into storage tank.
This cooling and contact combined with a lower velocity will allow catching nearly all fatty acids distillates present in the gas flow.
4)Crystallization Section
Feedstock is heated and pumped to crystallizers. The oil is cooled according to a pre-determined cooling profile by means of controlling the temperature of the cooling medium circulating in the cooling coils. The design of this cooling profile depends on the quality of feedstock and the quality of olein/stearin fractions required. This is to keep the oil homogenized with frequency mechanical agitation in the crystallizers. A typical cooling program lasts for a certain time, depending on the quality of feedstock and product. When the oil appears as a thick semi-solid mass (slurry) containing stearin crystals in liquid olein, it is ready for filtration. If the crystallization result is not desirable, the slurry can be circulated through the feed oil heater for re-heating before being sent back to the feed oil tank for re-processing.
5) Filtration Section
When crystallization is completed, the slurry is fed to the Membrane Filter Press for filtration. The operation includes filter feed, filtering, squeezing and cake releasing. When the chambers are full after cake forming, the pumping will stop and the membranes are inflated to squeeze dry the filter cakes. After which, the residual oil in the core is blown dry by compressed air. Thereafter, the filter is opened and the cake will drop into a stearin tank. The stearin cake is melted in this tank by steam coils before it is discharged to storage. Olein flows into the olein tank, and is pumped to the outer olein storage tank.

In Deliver digital faster with Drupal Part 1, I showed you some of the many examples of successful sites built rapidly thanks to Drupal's modularity. To stay ahead of your competition, you need to be nimble and agile; Drupal helps you do this with reusable, transferable digital experiences that can be customised to suit various niches even within a single business enterprise. All, of course, without paying additional license fees or mandated limits on developers, environments, or copies.
... and cheaper! Keep what works and integrate it with Drupal; replace what needs replacing. Incremental, targeted projects are not only far less risky than "Big Bang" all-or-nothing releases, they are faster to get out the door, too! Drupal lets you release a new feature or try out a new MVP, but in days or weeks rather than months.
I spoke with Bálint Kléri, Head of Technology at Indivizo.com, in Acquia Podcast #146 about how Drupal is enabling Indivizo to make a Software-as-a-Service-based product business. He cited time-to-market as the number one reason:
"I believe the biggest thing here is that I was able to create the prototypes in a very short time. We could validate our business idea, our whole startup idea, and iterate on top of that. Doing that is really efficient in Drupal because you can build things very quickly. You have great tools."
Site and project builds are faster, less risky, and more focused when using Drupal. Drupal professionals address common business concerns every day in the course of working on the digital front lines and they share their solutions and best-practices with the larger Drupal community. Drupal gives your developers a great solution-base to start with and lets them focus on solving the interesting, innovative, and unique parts of your project, while relying on Drupal to deliver all the functionality you should expect of an up-to-date content management system.
When starting with Drupal, you are removing a lot of risk from your project. You are taking advantage of a proven, enterprise-ready technology. Because less custom coding is required, and because Drupal is very popular with governments and security-conscious corporations around the world, you are getting the help of thousands of hackers and security experts around the world every day – in addition to the built-in expertise of tens of thousands of Drupal developers.
"The continuous and broad peer-review enabled by publicly available source code supports software reliability and security efforts through the identification and elimination of defects that might otherwise go unrecognized by a more limited core development team." - US Department of Defence CIO memorandum "Clarifying Guidance Regarding Open Source Software"
Because Drupal is modular, extensible, and standards-based, it helps you maximise your existing and future technology investments. When you choose Drupal because you want to take advantage of the latest the web has to offer – analytics and personalisation, for example – unlike many proprietary systems, you don't need to rip out all your existing, working systems and install a unified "ultimate solution to everything"; that will be out of date next year anyway. Drupal offers integrations with most every existing technology, service, and data source on the web today and – unlike unified, monolithic, solutions – it is also "future friendly". Being open, extensible, and standards-based means it is ready for the new services coming further down the line.
Drupal's large, active developer community gives you fast, specifically tailored, custom development, too. While preparing a large customer project, a major systems integrator identified an essential module that needed further development before being included in the project's code base. An estimate was made regarding the amount of in-house development required to make the fix. At the same time, maintainer of the module in question was approached about making the necessary improvements. Since she knew her code base inside and out, she was able to make the requested changes in a fraction of the time and much more cost efficiently than an in-house developer. The systems integrator kept their resources focused, while the targeted investment in the module maintainer paid off in parallel, efficient cooperation with the rest of the team; they were able to increase their production speed and efficiency beyond their in-house capacity.
This project was completed faster and cheaper than would have been otherwise possible, because of Drupal's collaborative, massive open-source developer community. A recent quote by Ben Golub, the CEO of Docker, regarding doing business in an open source context rings true to me in this context:
"I would much rather be an ubiquitous platform and face competition on how to manage that platform than to be a stand-alone tool, both proprietary and unknown."
It's this very focus on platform improvement and collaboration in Drupal, rather than platform competition, that leads to such efficient code fixes. Keep in mind as well that Docker is a growing cloud technology backed by an active developer community of less than 1,000 developers plus a company providing commercial support and other service offerings around it. Sounds a lot like Drupal and Acquia, except that Drupal is supported and multiplied by an active developer community of more than 20,000, an active professional and user community of more than 80,000, and a plethora of other professional service providers. This is where the power of open source at scale really starts to shine.
In these two posts (Deliver digital faster - part 1 and this one, part 2), I've pointed out that whatever your business, Drupal offers you scalable, reusable, remixable solutions, backed by a large community of professionals. Since your content management needs are met right out of the box, you and your teams can focus on what is important: your core business. Your new and innovative ideas can be the focus of your time and investment.
Other companies in your niche are probably already using Drupal, meaning that you can benefit from mutual "coopetition" – shared concerns can lead to shared solutions. Sony Music and Warner Music both use Drupal, for example; but they are competing in marketing music and entertainment, not wasting effort trying to compete in core IT.
Once you've built a solution the first time, the next one is going to be even cheaper and faster to build, since you can reuse all the Drupal components as many times as you like. If a module needs creation or adjustment, Drupal's large, professional community can efficiently accelerate your development cycles. Drupal's modularity and extensibility also allows you to make targeted changes and improvements, keeping what works and adding new functionality as you need it.

Palm's anticipated Treo 800w is thought to be what the company's calling 'Zeppelin' - a very unfortunate codename, given the originals' tendency to crash and burn. But what about its 'Skywriter' product?
An email allegedly sent by Palm to software developers - and from one of them to blog TamsPPC - confirms both the Zeppelin and Skywriter codenames. The letter is an invitation to submit apps that might be highlighted at the devices' official launch.
There was a piccy included with the invite, the blog claims:
Palm's 'Skywriter'?
Image courtesy TamsPPC
The pic's said so show a mock-up, and looking at this slab of a smartphone - particularly the relatively small screen area - we also wonder if it's not a concoction compounded to confuse the bloggers.
Still, if HTC's Diamond, launched yesterday, is anything to go by, the 'straight lines and curved corners' look is this season's new smartphone style, led by the iPhone, LG's Prada handset and Samsung's F700.
If the picture is in any way genuine, it's got a Windows Mobile key, so it's clear what OS it'll be running.
There's nothing down about specs. Reports elsewhere on the web claim the Zeppelin/Treo 800w will have a 320 x 320 display, EvDO - a US 3G technology - Wi-Fi and GPS - all firsts for a Palm Windows Mobile device, some first for Palm full stop.
If all this is true, it's likely to piss off SkyWriter Software, which already uses the alleged codename for its aviation software. The application runs on both Palm and Windows Mobile operating systems... Maybe SkyWriter would like to apply to have its app highlighted at Palm's launch?

This story appears in the February 2001 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Sometimes business success is won by being different, sometimes it's won by seeing farther and more clearly than anyone else, and sometimes, every now and then, it's simply stolen. These books delineate those three routes to success clearly and convincingly.
The Rebel Rules
This is a hands-on guidebook for fostering unconventional thinking about entrepreneurship in the mode of Richard Branson (who wrote the preface), Anita Roddick and Michael Dell. Author Chip Conley, founder of a hotel company based in San Francisco, first won fame by dropping his trousers to display his fancy underwear while delivering a speech at a travel industry convention. Rebel credentials established, he took his company to $50 million in annual sales.
Despite his anarchistic image, Conley's rebel rules, which state that entrepreneurs need vision, instinct, passion and agility, are not particularly revolutionary. But his advice is still pragmatic and well-presented, with numerous anecdotes from the history of his own company, Joie de Vivre, as well as short profiles of rebels ranging from GE's Jack Welch to Dee Hock, founder of Visa.
One thing Conley does that is definitely rebellious-at least for business authors-is acknowledge that the practices he recommends have risks. He warns specifically against too-fast growth, ill-advised alliances, going public and thinking you've made it. That's one rebellion that ought to attract adherents.
The Rebel Rules is available at Amazon.com.
It Takes A Prophet To make A Profit
(Simon & Schuster)
In this book, marketing expert C. Britt Beemer and veteran business writer Robert L. Shook explore 15 major shifts in U.S. society that could influence businesses' future prospects. Beemer contributes the survey-based research on which the trends are based, while Shook weaves it into an easy-to-digest dose of prophecy.
Some of the trends include the loss of discretionary time, the popularity of telecommuting, the increasing demand for brand-name products and, of course, the proliferation of the Internet. The pair also describes why the trends are important and provides ways for companies to respond. For instance, in a chapter on Americans' reluctance to pay full price, they note 85 percent of consumers today shop for goods on sale, up from 62.5 percent one decade ago. Then they suggest that businesses offer advice and develop relationships with customers to overcome the sale-shopping trend.
It Takes A Prophet To make A Profit is available at Amazon.com.
(Perseus Publishing)
Twenty-five billion dollars is a sum large enough to capture anybody's interest. Toss in some exotic locales, wizardly technology and a few unusual names, and you've got the makings of a decent spy novel. Or, in this case, an engrossing nonfiction journey on the dark side of business information. Authors Adam Penenberg, a business journalist, and Marc Barry, an intellectual property consultant and founder of C3I Analytics in New York City, say $25 billion is what U.S. companies lose every year to corporate spies stealing intellectual property. They then describe how these crooks accomplish the thefts, from within and without.
Along the way, Penenberg and Barry offer advice on protecting those secrets. The most important? Be careful who you whisper them to. The central case, apparently an example of simple subornation, concerns a Taiwanese label manufacturer's theft of trade secrets from U.S. rival Avery Dennison. The manufacturer, Four Pillars Enterprises of Taiwan, bribed an Avery scientist to hand over mounds of adhesives research. But the authors demonstrate there's more than one way to swipe a secret: impersonation, burglary, computer hacking, electronic eavesdropping and just good old rummaging through the garbage. Is the friendly person who quizzed you extensively at that trade show last week an ex-CIA operative working for a rival? After reading this book, you may wonder.
Spooked is available at Amazon.com.

Sunday School – 10:00 am
Worship Service – 11:00 am
Bible Study – 12:15 pm
Wednesday Bible Study - 6:30 pm
12859 Martin Road Spur
Northport, AL 35473
|01 - Introduction to being practical people
|In this introductory message, Brother Troy differentiates between being theological and being theologically practical. He stresses the importance of applying the truths we learn in Bible study to our everyday lives.
|02 - Practically Speaking: Resolutions that Mean Something
|Brother Troy uses "New Year's Resolutions" as a "springboard" to challenge the people at SGBC Northport in our resolve to serve God practically.
|03 - Practically Speaking: Fight for Your Family
|In this lesson, Brother Troy speaks on the importance of the family unit and how we all, as believers, need to fight for our family as the world system tries to win them over.
|04 - be Biblically Practical
In this final message, Brother Troy reemphasized some of his introductory principles with an added emphasis on making sure our practicality is in line with God's Word.
|01 - The Object of Worship
|Springboarding from Brother John's foundational message, Brother Troy immediately points us to God as the Object of worship. He covers the attitude in which we must approach worship. He lays the foundation of the Gospel which declares that we can only approach God through Christ.
|02 - Prayer in Worship
|Prayer is worship. Whether done in private or public, we must always consider the seriousness of prayer. There is much in the Word of God about prayer. Brother Troy instructed us on what to do and what not to do when we approach the Lord through prayer.
|03 - How to Prepare for Worship
|Here's a subject that is often taken for granted. Worship doesn't just happen. We must prepare to approach God. There is a proper way and time to prepare. Brother Troy brought this convicting message.
|04 - Mercy - Not Sacrifice
|The Jews were given the Law in several lengthy Old Testament books. And yet, Hosea tells us that God desired mercy, not sacrifice. God must be approached with the right attitude. Brother Troy brought this important message to keep the focus on Christ, not the traditions of men.
|01 - The Sin of Pride
|Brother Troy deals with the subject of pride and points out how believers should never get caught up in such an attitude.
|02 - God is All in All
|Brother Troy points out a very important point in the Christian faith in this lesson. That is that God is the One that we are to live for.
|03 - The Thorn in the Flesh
|This sermon by Brother Troy is a great encouragement to the children of God. All of us will have trials in our lives from time to time. But, God is our Great Helper!
|04 - Trust God
|Brother Troy's last message of the weekend gives believers the simple encouragement to trust the Lord every moment of our lives.
|01 - Woe is Me
|Using Isaiah's vision of the Lord, Brother Troy shows methodically how God must reach down to man if we are ever to know Him.
|02 - Who Is Your Jesus
|Brother Troy asks a serious question in this sermon. It is certainly meant as a challenge to all that hear it! We pray it's a blessing to you.
|03 - A Man Named Barnabas
|This character study of Barnabas shows him to be a great example for believers today. We're certain it will be an encouragement to you.
|01-The Work of Nehemiah
|There are many great passages in the Old Testament that are beneficial to us. Brother Troy brings a lesson on just such a passage. In this sermon, he deals with the subject of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.
|02 -Being a Baptist Pillar
|Brother Troy brings a good lesson here on the importance of staying true to the faith as it was once delivered to the saints. The stress here is for church members to be faithful, loving and doctrinally strong.
|03 - Why I Love God
|As human beings, we often need a reminder of simple things. This message seeks to remind us of reasons we ought to love the Lord with all our heart.
|04 - The Foolishness of Idolatry
|There is much idolatry in the world today. Many people…even Christians…oftentimes put things before God. This equates into idolatry. Brother Troy brings out several reasons that idolatry is foolish.
|05 - Trusting God
|In his final message, Brother Troy brings a practical message that ought to encourage every child of God. In a world full of trouble, we can always trust the Lord our God. We pray this message is an encouragement to you.

Consumer Reports tests flat tire fixes
Compressor kits, aerosol products claim to patch holes
Almost every new car used to come with a spare tire, but these days spares are no longer standard.
And even if you have a spare, changing a tire is no fun.
Consumer Reports tested tire-sealant compressor kits, as well as aerosol cans that promise a quick fix. To test, a car was outfitted with 15-inch, all-season tires and one of the tires was punctured with a small nail.
All of the aerosol cans were able to seal the small hole and inflate the tire, which kept going for more than 100 miles. But Consumer Reports found that all of the cans had difficulty with larger holes. And because an aerosol can is under pressure, you can't keep it in your car in hot weather; it can explode. So that kind of limits its use. You're not going to keep it in your car. You're probably going to keep it at home. And when you need to use it, it's not going to be with you.
The compressor units are more expensive but can be safely stored in your car. You plug the compressor into your car's power adapter and attach the sealant canister to your tire. All of the compressor kits fixed even larger holes. They also come with a gauge to make sure you're inflating to the recommended pressure. Consumer Reports found that the $80 Continental ContiComfortKit works the fastest and has enough sealant to repair a wide variety of tire sizes.
Consumer Reports cautions that tire-fix products are just a temporary fix. As soon as you use them, get to a service station to have the tire inspected, repaired, or replaced. Also be aware that none of the products can repair very large punctures. And they should never be used to fix punctures in the sidewall of the tire.

Martha Stewart on Her Changing Media Empire
Martha Stewart said her company is transitioning to a digital media company just as fast as it can.
"We are relentless in serving our customers where they need us, where they want us," Stewart said, appearing alongside Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia CEO Lisa Gersh at the D: Dive Into Media conference.
Stewart noted that Martha Stewart Living was an early mover into the apps world, and now both it and Everyday Food are digital, with Martha Stewart Weddings and Whole Living adding digital editions this spring.
"I'm very proud of our efforts in that arena," Stewart said.
Her company, though older than Facebook and Twitter, is still fairly young at 20 years.
"We're not old-fashioned," Stewart said. She rejected the idea put forward by Bob Pittman earlier in the day that consumer habits change slowly, noting how quickly the iPad took off.
Stewart, a longtime D: All Things Digital attendee, was an early adopter of computers, getting her first IBM in 1982.
On the TV side, the company has a deal with Hallmark that ends at the end of the year and is evaluating what to do next, whether it is cable or broadcast.
"We're looking at a number of different formats," Stewart said.
In addition to traditional formats, Stewart said technologies like bar codes and tablets and phones create even deeper needs for the kinds of how-to content her company produces.
Some things have gone away, such as its "Martha By Mail" catalog business, though the company now has a new online store.
11:34 am: Gersh said that the company is trying to find new ways to make its monthly food magazine more relevant.
"We know our reader is making dinner every night and they want to hear from us," Gersh said.
The magazine has a daily email newsletter that will be upgraded with video so subscribers can see someone making the recipe.
11:37 am: On the future of her doing a daily TV show:
It's been a wonderful vehicle for a lot of things, Stewart said. There are a lot of products we have focused on in the show.
"Would you want to sit in make-up and hair for another 10 years?" Stewart said.
Walt: Me? No.
Stewart talked about a lot of other things she is doing, including her new relationship with J.C. Penney and its CEO, former Apple Store head Ron Johnson.

Heat stroke can be deadly in seniors. As the summer heats up, so does the risk
So just what is heat stroke and how does it happen?
When the body is overheating, it can reach temps of 104 degrees and cause major organs to begin failing if not treated quickly. It should be considered an emergency that requires immediate medical intervention. If left untreated, it can lead to organ failure and death.
5 tips for preventing a heat stroke in seniors
1. Be familiar with the health conditions of your senior loved one. Keep a list handy of all medications and ask their doctor about things that could interact with heat, such as low-sodium diets or fluid pills. (Diuretics) You'll want to know the best plan of action to restore fluids and cool the body down. Keep in mind that some people can't handle copious amounts of water, so IV fluids are critical.
2. Dress appropriately and stay hydrated. Encourage your senior loved ones to drink plenty of water during the summer months, especially if they are going to be outside. Keep in mind that very cold water can bring on cramps, so staying hydrated with cool or room temperature water is best. Sports drinks are often not a good idea for seniors due to the high sugar content.
Have your senior adult wear clothing that is light weight, light in color to deflect excess heat, and very breathable. If they feel chilly while indoors, a small lap blanket can be helpful.
3. Keep your home cool. Utilize inexpensive methods for keeping cool in the house, such as curtains that block excess light and heat. This can make a huge difference in the temperature in the house, as well as your energy bills!
4. Keep cool outside. You may need to go someplace that has good air conditioning with your older adult during the hottest part of the day. If their home is too warm or doesn't have adequate air conditioning, they may enjoy places such as a mall, library or restaurant.
5. If you use fans, use caution. Fans offer some relief from the heat but can sometimes trick the body into feeling much cooler when the danger of heat stroke is still there. A good rule of thumb is to stick with air conditioners whenever possible, especially if the temperature outside is above 85 degrees.
Signs of heat stroke should always be taken seriously. Seek medical attention immediately if you suspect your senior loved one has gotten overheated. You may just save their life!

Watch This Fantastic Video To Learn How to Avoid The 'Friend Zone'
We spend too much time with a girl, end up falling for her and start being way too nice. The dreaded 'Friend Zone.' Every guy spent time there. Instead of interpreting the kindness as affection she considers you "like a brother."
Finally, there is hope for those who have already been relegated to to the "Friend Zone"? A new short by '5 Second Films' exhibits one of the most brilliant reversals in response to the cursed lines "we can still be friends."
The guy in this video responds the way we all wish we could when we hear those words. And ironically, it might just be the best way to be de-friend zoned. [WARNING-- Video is NSFW for a potty mouth]

The patterned papers are also Samantha Walker (for Creative Imaginations, of course). They are part of the absolutely adorable Kokeshi line!
I hand cut the image and paper pieced it, but you don't have to do that if you have a die cut machine! Nope! Now you can buy the brand new die that goes with this set from Spellbinders! How cool is THAT? Now I just need a machine for dies! HA!
Anyway, I hope you have a super fabulous Friday! Oh...and for those wondering...my desk is kinda messy again because I started a mixed media piece! Ooopsies!!! I'll probably clean it up again this weekend, though. I think I like having space to work ... it's unusual! HA!

The way that licensed products are remixed and reworked in China is endlessly fascinating. Thanks to lax laws (laws that are increasingly less lax), Chinese businesses can get away with things they never could in other countries.
Increasingly, more and more Chinese are turning their noses up at knock-offs, demanding the real deal. Still, I dunno about you, but I'd love to drink Star F**ks coffee while eating Borio cookies and playing the Nintendo PolyStation from Namco in digital stereo.
Have a look at some Chinese knock-offs from the last five (or so) years, including everybody's favourite Chinese Gundam.

FRESNO, Calif. — Investigators looking into California's first case of mad cow disease say they have tracked down at least one of her offspring in another state.
It was euthanized and tested for the disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE. The test was negative.
USDA officials said Wednesday that the diseased cow had at least one other offspring within the last two years, but it was stillborn. They did not say how that carcass was disposed.
The USDA announced April 24 that the nation's fourth case of mad cow disease was discovered in the 10-year-old cow. It had been euthanized and at a Tulare County dairy and sent to a rendering plant. That dairy and another associated with it are under quarantine.
A calf ranch where the cow was raised also is under investigation.

NEW YORK -- An online scam involving New York clubs operated by Equinox Fitness, New York Health & Racquet Club (NYHRC) and Town Sports International (TSI) has resulted in an ongoing police investigation.
During the past few months, several people bought what they thought were reduced-rate memberships to these clubs by responding to an advertisement on Craigslist. In January, Ilene Pauer paid $700 for what was advertised as a $2,000-a-year membership to Equinox. However, a month later, Pauer was told that her membership had been canceled.
Pauer corresponded with a man by the name of Darren Johnson, whom Pauer alleges bought the membership with a stolen credit card before transferring the membership into her name. The credit card company notified Equinox of the fraudulent charge a week later, Pauer says, but it took a few more weeks before the club canceled the membership.
About 50 people were allegedly victimized by Johnson, whose operation also included Equinox clubs in Los Angeles, Pauer says. She has been in touch with about two dozen of her fellow victims.
"It makes sense [to transfer memberships] right now in New York," Pauer tells Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro. "People get into these contracts, and some of them are losing their jobs and are having to leave. Their explanations seem perfectly logical."
Pauer says she sent the $700 check to an associate of Johnson's and that the money was going to be put into an account in Florida. Pauer was sent an Equinox welcome package with a membership card after making the payment.
A statement from Equinox says it does not allow or authorize anyone other than its own employees to sell memberships.
"The security of our members is very important to us, and we encourage people to be mindful when making an unauthorized purchase over the Web," Equinox said. "In this situation, where we discovered the fraudulent purchase of memberships from Craigslist, we alerted the authorities and are fully cooperating with the investigation."
Pauer says Equinox offered her one month free and a membership at full price, but she says the general public, at the time, also was offered one month free with a membership. A producer covering the story for TV station WABC in New York then contacted NYHRC about the situation. NYHRC offered Pauer a six-month free membership, which she accepted.
J Travis, brand manager for NYHRC, says the club has a list of about a dozen people who were victims of the online scam. Of those victims, three people signed with NYHRC after they were offered the six-month-free membership, Travis says.
"I'm pretty confident the others will [join] as well," Travis says.
Memberships can be transferred from one person to another at NYHRC, but the transactions must be done through staff at the club, Travis says. He adds that the scam is a valuable lesson for prospective health club members.
"Do your homework," Travis says. "If an offer is too good to be true, it probably is."
New York Sports Club, operated by TSI, also had victims of the scam. The club allows the transfer of memberships, and like NYHRC, transfers must be handled at the club rather than by a third party.
"There are various ways to purchase a membership, including going into a club and buying directly from a membership consultant or purchasing a membership from our Web site," a statement released by TSI said. "Additionally, if someone is interested in taking over an existing contract, we have a procedure for that as well. Both parties need to come into a club and have the membership transferred and have the proper paperwork filled out by a New York Sports Club membership consultant."
Pauer says she doubts she will recoup the $700 she paid for the fraudulent membership.
"There's no warning out there about this," Pauer says. "We all put notes up on Craigslist warning other people about the scam. It keeps coming up in different guises."

It's an achy breaky day for country musician Billy Ray Cyrus and wife Tish – they've decided to pull the plug on their 17-year marriage.
The parents of teen pop star Miley Cyrus filed to divorce Wednesday in Tennessee, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason, People reported.
"As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family," the ex-couple said in a joint statement to People. "We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."
U.S. & World
On Tuesday, Billy Ray took to his Twitter page for the first time since Oct. 9 to ask his followers to pray for others.
"Some Gave All Can I ask I ask for your prayers this morning for my children...our troops...the hungry...the sick...the homeless.AMEN," the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer tweeted.
Cyrus then quoted from Psalm 91, writing, "He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you shall take refuge.Truth will be your shield and buckler."
Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus are the parents of three, including Miley. Billy Ray also has two adopted step-kids and has a son from a previous relationship, according to E! Online.

God of Love: Cupid's Semi-Tragic Tale of Magical Darts and Unrequited Love
Curfew, by writer/director Shawn Christensen, is a tale of redemption and unconditional family love, which won the 2013 Oscar for Best Live-Action Short Film. This year's Oscar awards program for live-action shorts was hosted by 2011 winner Luke Matheny, writer/director of God of Love, one of my all-time favorite short films. Ironically, Matheny's appearance at the awards program gave a new breath of life to his own wonderful film, prompting me to once again present the humorously romantic short film here.
God of Love is a comical, quirky short film by the funny young director Luke Matheny, which won both a 2010 Student Academy Award and the 2011 Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short Film. Matheny is a New York University film school graduate who also plays the lead in his film, which features several pop-jazz standards and a "Woody Allen-type" humor. The film follows the amorous misadventures of Raymond Goodfellow, a lounge-singing championship dart player who is desperately in love with a fellow band-mate, but she only has eyes for his best friend. The crooner prays daily to God for a way for his beloved to fall in love with him. Finally, one evening his prayers are answered when he's given a box of magical darts with supernatural Cupid-like, passion-inducing powers. Raymond decides to attempt using the darts to make his own love connection, which leads to a comically cosmic questioning of whether even the gods can force love to happen.

A beautiful game of life
Few nations are as obsessed with soccer as Brazil, which hosts the 2014 Soccer World Cup. Argentinean photographer Christopher Pillitz traveled the length and breadth of the country to record the phenomenon in all its many facets
In Brazil, people don't need much to play soccer – just a ball and enough space. In fact, Brazilians are happy to play on the street, in a favela courtyard, on a warm sandy beach, of which there are many, on a deep-sea oil platform or in a lush green meadow on the banks of the Amazon. They have also been known to play in an Augustinian seminary, a high-security prison or on a closed city highway. Soccer is their life and they will play almost anywhere. If they can't find a ball, someone will soon rustle up a tin can. Buildings and crash barriers double as sidelines, plastic bottles and doorways as goalposts. Sometimes players will dispense with goals altogether and focus instead on keeping the ball in the air for minutes at a time or outdribbling their opponents.
Like the samba and carnival, the sport mirrors the playfulness and creativity of their soul
If England is the home of soccer, Brazil is its enormous playing field. Nowhere else has the sport achieved such sophistication, lightness and elegance as it has in this South American country, which is hosting the FIFA World Cup from June 12 through July 13 this summer. With every trick they execute, every pass, Brazilians celebrate the magic of the jogo bonito, the beautiful game – intuitively, imaginatively and often with technical perfection. Professional or amateur, lawyer or road sweeper, monk or felon, regardless of age, job or social standing, everyone shares the same passion for the game. For many, soccer is even tantamount to a religion, and that goes not only for players, but for spectators, too. Brazilian soccer pros are revered as heroes, their clubs unconditionally adored.
"Soccer means everything to people in Brazil," says Christopher Pillitz, 55. "Like the samba and carnival, the sport mirrors the playfulness and creativity of their soul." The Argentinean photographer, who has lived in London for the past 35 years and works for such respected magazines as Time, Newsweek, The Observer, Stern and Geo, first visited Brazil with his parents as a child. "I have always been fascinated by this country and its contrasts," he recalls.
Pillitz has traveled widely in Brazil for many years capturing impressions of the nation's obsession with soccer. His photos reveal every facet of the mass phenomenon, show young talents bound for a professional career as well as the obsessive fan cult, which can take many forms. Some fans get married outside their club's stadium, others have their club's name or coat-of-arms or an oath of allegiance tattooed on their body.
"Brazilians live for soccer," says Pillitz, "and some will even die for it." Coming out this month, a glorious book of photos featuring a selection of his best work promises to put us in the mood for this summer's soccer highlight, the World Cup in Brazil.

Deputies shoot, kill man who 'wanted to die at hands of cops'
VCSO: Kenneth Morrow killed after he advanced on deputies
Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies shot and killed a man after he advanced on authorities while brandishing a gun, according to Sheriff Ben Johnson.
Authorities said the Flagler County Sheriff's Office requested assistance from Volusia around 4 p.m. when a Bunnell man sent suicidal text messages to his ex-girlfriend.
Authorities tracked 52-year-old Kenneth Morrow's cellphone to Highbridge Road, north of Ormond Beach, and found him with a gun in his hand.
Investigators said Morrow told the deputies to stay away and continued to send text messages to his ex-girlfriend and to the officers, threatening suicide. Several times, he pointed the gun at himself before moving toward deputies.
"The man had a hand gun, a revolver," Sheriff Ben Johnson said. "I know for a fact the gun is cocked. So yes, the threats were made and they were protecting themselves."
Morrow advanced toward the deputies while brandishing his weapon, deputies said, and they opened fire. Paramedics pronounced him dead at 6:25 p.m.
Morrow's girlfriend told investigators that he said he, "Wanted to die at the hands of cops."
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has been called in to investigate the shooting, and both deputies involved, Christopher Jones, 38, and Joel Hernandez, 34, have been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure.
Jones has been with the sheriff's office since 2002, and Hernandez has been with the sheriff's office since 2003.

Tuition Inflation
A good rule of thumb is that tuition rates will increase at about twice the general inflation rate. During any 17-year period from 1958 to 2001, the average annual tuition inflation rate was between 6% and 9%, ranging from 1.2 times general inflation to 2.1 times general inflation. On average, tuition tends to increase about 8% per year. An 8% college inflation rate means that the cost of college doubles every nine years. For a baby born today, this means that college costs will be more than three times current rates when the child matriculates in college. This section of FinAid provides detailed information about the rate of increase of college tuition.
Summary Statistics
The following table and chart shows the geometric mean of college costs and general inflation for the period from 1958 through 1996, as well as the ten-year periods ending in 1986 and 1996. As can be seen from the table, the college inflation rate runs between one and a half to two times the general inflation rate.
The following table shows the college cost inflation rate and the general inflation rate for the years from 1958 through 1996. College cost inflation rates are based on the Digest of Education Statistics for the years 1958-1970 and the College Board figures for four-year private colleges for the years from 1971 to the present. General inflation figures are based on the annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Statistically, there is no correlation between college inflation rates and general inflation rates. After all, increases in college tuition rates represent a very small percentage of the CPI. Even the rule of thumb that college costs increase at twice the inflation rate is not valid. As can be seen from the table, the college cost inflation rate has run from a high of 6.5 times the general inflation rate to a low of half the general inflation rate, with an recent average of about twice the general inflation rate. In recent years the college cost inflation rate has been decreasing to 5% as colleges try to control escalating costs. (This trend may be ending because of the souring economy.)
Please note that the College Board annually recomputes the base year cost averages when it calculates the current year averages. The new base year cost averages can (and often do) differ from the averages reported during the previous year. As such, the College Board figures are not based on an index like the general inflation rates. This can lead to gaps of as much as 1% between successive years, meaning that the College Board figures may be underreporting the actual rate of tuition increases. The College Board reevaluated its methodology for the 2002-2003 academic year, but did not make any fundamental changes other than improving the explanations of their methodology.
Since the Consumer Price Index includes a "College tuition and fees" component, it is possible to use that component as an index of historical tuition inflation. It reflects consumer spending on college tuition during the calendar year and is based on the same methodology as the Consumer Price Index. The second table provides these figures. Note that these figures show an average tuition inflation rate from 1979 to 2001 of 8.0% and from 1997 to 2001 of 4.5%. An inflation rate of 8% means that a baby born today will face college costs that are 3.7 times current costs.
The average magnitude of the difference between the BLS figures and the College Board figures is 1%, and the cumulative difference from 1979 to 2001 is about a quarter of a percentage point per year. The cumulative difference from 1991 to 2001 is three quarters of a percentage point per year. The BLS figures are, on average, higher than the corresponding College Board figures.
Based on these figures, it would be reasonable to expect an average college inflation rate of 7% or 8% per year for the next ten years.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Figures
Higher Education Price Index
The Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) is similar in concept to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), but measures inflation based on a basket of goods and services used by colleges and universities. It is calculated for each academic year (July 1 to June 30) by the Commonfund Institute. The CPI figures in the following table are June to June ratios.

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement between the member jurisdictions (all contiguous states, the District of Columbia and participating Canadian provinces) to simplify the reporting of motor fuel taxes by interstate motor carriers. IFTA reporting significantly reduces the paperwork and standardizes motor fuel tax reporting for both carriers and jurisdictions.
Before adoption of IFTA, motor carriers operating in multiple jurisdictions were required to apply for a license and file and remit their fuel taxes in accordance with each jurisdiction's laws. Complying with these varied requirements was a difficult and extremely time-consuming process for an interstate carrier.
For links to common IFTA forms, documents and sites, go to the Quick and Related Links page.
An IFTA license authorizes each qualified vehicle to travel in all IFTA jurisdictions without having to purchase fuel tax permits at the ports of entry. It also standardizes reporting of use fuel taxes. You only have to file one set of tax forms quarterly through your base jurisdiction (Arizona) instead of filing in each jurisdiction where you travel. All audit administrative costs are reduced because fuel tax audits are performed by your base state on behalf of all member jurisdictions
IFTA-qualified vehicles travel in more than one jurisdiction and are designed or maintained to transport people or property and ...
Below is a list of everything required to open a new IFTA account. Once you have completed and signed all the forms and applications and met all requirements, mail them to this address:
Motor Carrier Licensing Unit
Motor Vehicle Division
P.O. Box 2100
Phoenix, AZ 85001
Or, you may submit the required documents to a third-party provider authorized by MVD to perform IFTA transactions.

Paper Money, Train Wreck And The Need For Gold & Silver
The author explores in this article how the current financial system will soon turn into a train wreck. The long term bull market in paper based financial assets has ended but our politicians are undertaking truly heroic actions to keep this paper based money system going. Mathematically it's impossible in the meanwhile to continue this way. So in either situation, there will be a painful resolution and whichever scenario plays out, there is only asset class that will offer protection: gold and silver.
Begin with a few facts and assumptions and follow the logic:
- Gold has been a store of wealth for more than 3,000 years. Silver has been used as money in most countries of the world. Both are still valuable.
- All unbacked paper money eventually reverts to its intrinsic value of zero. Throughout history, there have been no exceptions to this statement. The world's current experiment with unbacked paper money is only 41 years old and looking rather strained.
- A person, business, or government cannot increase their indebtedness forever by spending in excess of revenues. This seems self-evident. Eventually, the person, business, or government will become unable to find anyone willing to lend under those circumstances. "Deficits don't matter" is nonsense.
- "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." This is Stein's Law and seems obvious, but we often act as if we don't believe it.
- Politicians and governments will do everything possible to retain current power, even if it is destructive in the long term.
My belief is that most people will agree with these simple and straight-forward statements.
We know that the United States (and the rest of the world) uses an unbacked paper currency which has lost perhaps 90% of its value in the last 40 years. We know that the official US government debt exceeds $16 Trillion and is growing rapidly – approximately 12% per year for the past five years. We also know that the present value of unfunded obligations of the US government for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, military pensions, and other commitments is $100 Trillion to $220 Trillion depending upon who is counting. It does not matter which calculation is correct since it is impossible for the US government to fund and pay either present value estimate.
The current debt exceeds $16 Trillion and will increase at current growth rates to about $25 Trillion in another four years. Interest rates on the national debt are historically low because the Federal Reserve continues to "print money" and then makes huge purchases of government bonds. Assume a modest 5% interest rate on $25 Trillion of national debt in 2016. Do you believe that our economy can generate $1.25 Trillion in annual taxes just to pay the interest on the debt? How about funding a 6% interest rate on $35 – $45 Trillion in national debt by the year 2020? The interest payments would be about $2.4 Trillion – approximately the entire revenue for the government in 2012. "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop."
Our politicians will probably address the budgetary problem, as created by them, by taking the easiest way out, by angering the least number of voters, stalling, blaming others, appointing committees, and by concealing the problems and consequences as best they can. Possibilities include: printing $Trillions and blaming the resulting inflation on a convenient scapegoat, defaulting on all debt owed to foreigners, means-testing Social Security, Medicare, and other programs, forcing pension funds and IRA's to buy T-Bonds, higher taxes, higher inflation, and reduced military spending. Many more creative suggestions will be set forth, but they probably will not include balanced budgets, fiscal sanity, or debt repudiation.
If paper money eventually declines in value to nearly zero, the national debt is never repaid, government will continue to borrow and spend in excess of revenues, and this process can be extended for only a few more years, what should we expect?
- Assume the dollar will decline in value against all commodities. Food, energy, metals, and practically everything you need for survival will substantially increase in price. Jim Sinclair calls this "currency induced cost-push inflation."
- Assume that government guarantees, programs, and promises will be changed, reduced, eliminated, or devalued. How much good is receiving Social Security income if your monthly benefit purchases only seven loaves of bread, a few fishes, and a tank of gasoline?
- Assume that taxes will increase and our standard of living will decrease.
- Assume that most paper wealth in the form of debt instruments, T-Bonds, T-Notes, state government bonds, and corporate debt will substantially decline in value and purchasing power.
- Assume that gold re-enters the global monetary system in some form, not because politicians and central bankers want it, but because they are forced to include gold in order to create a credible monetary system that will inspire confidence in the new currency.
This begs the question, how do you prepare? Perhaps we should cash out all paper investments, buy gold, and hunker down on rural farmland. This will not work for most people. Further, while most people know much is wrong in our economy, they are not ready to abandon their current lifestyle. The problem is that by the time it becomes clear that economic disaster is upon us, it will be too late for most people to protect themselves. A partial solution is simply to buy physical gold and silver – NOW!
People riding a runaway train can party and remain oblivious to the fact that the train is about to crash into a huge obstacle. Our runaway financial train is about to destroy the status quo as it crashes into the obstacle of mathematical consequences – the inevitable financial train wreck. "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop."
When will the collision/collapse occur in the United States? Jim Sinclair, one of the premier financial intellects of our time, thinks we may have until perhaps 2015 – 2017 before the collision. He recommends physical gold bullion – in your possession or perhaps stored in a secure private storage facility. I think silver coins and bullion stored in a secure and private facility are also a wise investment.
But because we don't know when the crash will occur, it makes far better sense to prepare now, even if early, than to wait and hope. If all of these potential disasters miraculously disappear and our financial world continues as it has, preparation will be, at worst, inexpensive insurance. "Buy that insurance" while you still can.

I think for someone with VBA and Access experience then the free Edition of Visual Studio express is the path of least effort.
You get a VBA like language (vb.net). You get a program editor very much like VBA.
Visual studio installs and sets up a web server for you (so you can local develop).
So with this setup you off to the races with some great built in web site templates.
and simply install SQL express. The free edition of Visual Studio has all the features of the paid edition (they are the same except for very few features - none that really matter).
Likely one of the best free IDE's you can get.
see this post of mine here on UA:
In above (you have to read into the threads I show both a Access report and then the same in Visual Studio. And I show a Access form and then a web Visual Studio form.

That's pretty interesting. I haven't heard of Front Page for years, not that I understand anything about web databases anyway:)
Oops, didn't notice there was a page 2 on the thread. I am referring to the countyrealty post.

"I haven't heard of Front Page for years, ..."
Microsoft deprecated Front Page years ago, so I'm not even sure you'd be able to find and obtain a copy to install.
If you go in the direction of creating a web app, go with Albert's recommendation, IMO. Visual Studio Express is a good deal.

Hey, this topic has suddenly sprung back into life and it's timely ... I didn't pursue the reason for the OP but I'm now back in the game with an SQL 2008 R2 database that I use with an Access 2016 (Office365) FE that contains some complimentary tables. I still can't do SQL 'properly' and I am constantly frustrated that it either won't/can't/I don't know how to do what I want or it makes it so complicated that I can't be bothered and resort back to the Access FE. So I would prefer to use the Access front end for everything and maybe gradually translate the Access SQL to Transact SQL over time. So I guess Visual Studio Express is the way to go, yes? Is there a good teaching website that can be recommended?
Thanks for the links sumosoftware I've looked at Zoho before and glanced at Caspio but couldn't find much about incorporating them in a website and if they will talk to SQL Server. Myabe I just missing it.
And TinyGiant2010 ... I can't believe how cheap your property is! I used to have Frontpage 2003 but rather stupidly got shot of it when Microsoft launched Expression Web, that was a disaster!
Grover, there are many sites you can download Frontpage from (not suggesting you do!). 2003 was the last version and it is not on any offical compatability list for Win10 butmany say they still use it without any problem. I must admit the thought/product never crossed my mind.

First, I am not sure whether you are thinking of using Access behind a website because you refer to an Access FE with a SQL Server BE. Are you actually planning to put this SQL Server BE behind a website as well? Access FE would mean a desktop, Windows environment.
One thing that bears repeating here, I think, is that Access is unique among Windows development tools (or nearly unique). It contains tools for creating:
a) The data layer in an application. That would be the tables.
b) The logic layer in an application. That would be VBA and macros.
c) The interface layer in an application. That would be forms and reports.
SQL Server, on the other hand, offers a) and to some extent b). There are no interface elements available in SQL Server. If you want to use SQL Server as the data layer in an application, you need a tool to develop the interface and most of the logic.
The use of an accdb or mdb for the data layer, or BE, in a website is rare, and should be. It's not the optimal choice, though it can be done. Hosting companies may still offer it as an option, but with MySQL and SQL Server usually available as well, there's little incentive to go that way.
What I remember about Frontpage was mostly that it generated a stew of html, rather than simple, straightforward html. But there are so many modern languages available today that one really needs a modern development environment to work in anyway.
Finally, if you look at a hosted website, you'll probably find most offer more recent versions of SQL Server, like 2017 or 2019. SQL Server 2008 R2 is close to its end of life. That doesn't mean solutions built on that version will quit working, but Microsoft will no longer be offering security updates. I suppose some web hosts do still offer it, too. But I can't imagine they'll maintain that offering much longer.
I will refer you a series of videos we made last year regarding alternatives to Access Web Apps, including a couple on ZOHO creator.

Thanks again George ...
"First, I am not sure whether you are thinking of using Access behind a website because you refer to an Access FE with a SQL Server BE. Are you actually planning to put this SQL Server BE behind a website as well? Access FE would mean a desktop, Windows environment." Well we are actually talking of the same setup as my other thread you are helping on so yes, it will consist of Access and an SQL database. But not the same one, just an identical copy (the license I have allows two installs). I was thinking (hoping) I could use Access with the SQL tables linked within the website using Visual Studio Express.
"There are no interface elements available in SQL Server." Yes, I know, that's why I find SQL an absolute pain by introducing an extra layer of complication! I'm an old dog who cannot be taught new SQL tricks. I've tried and find SQL completely incoherient, I've raised queries here that couldn't be answered ... that's not a pleasure it's purgatory. What I'm asking may not be the most perfect solution but a walking stick is faster for a blind man than a car! And an earlier post by Albert said he thought "for someone with VBA and Access experience then the free Edition of Visual Studio express is the path of least effort"
"If you want to use SQL Server as the data layer in an application, you need a tool to develop the interface and most of the logic." that's my question above ... Access FE with linked Access BE and SQL tables and Visual Studio?
I have never suggested nor considered using Frontpage, I was simply responding to your comment that you were "not even sure you'd be able to find and obtain a copy to install".
"you'll probably find most offer more recent versions of SQL Server, like 2017 or 2019" I'm sure they will but my use of 2008 is tied to the app that installed it and updates the database in it. I have no control whatsoever over it, I only want to read the tables anyway, I don't want to interfer with someone else's setup that works. But I have already established that if I install the app on a (Windows) VPS it installs 2008 as it should and automatically downloads updates an it should.

Deep cleansing breath...... okay here goes.
If someone today told you they have an Access 2000 mdb with 25000 records in one table, 1000 in a second table, and 500 in a third table; and they needed to display this on the internet, how would you recommend they do this?
All three tables get updated daily. Database gets uploaded to webhost daily.
User visits website, has to login, and their login username and password are in the 1000 table.
Once logged in, user can specify up to 10 search parameters; all of which are fixed. (Out of these 10, select whatever is relevant. This is not "pick 10 random things you can search by")
Once parameters are keyed in, hit the "search" button and see a roster of results that fit the parameter limits. This search hits the 25000 table, and certain elements in this table lookup returns from the 500 table.
While looking at the roster, user is able to click on one result and see full data for this specific item (aka record).
End of objectives.
What current tools do you recommend that would accomplish this?
I'm thinking I need "something" to hold the data itself; something easily updated by one person. (Today I am using .mdb file)
I also need something to slice the data down to fit the parameters. (Today I am using FrontPage 2000 as an html editor only - I do not "publish to web" but transfer files individually. These pages run VB scripting to retrieve fields out of 25000 table and linked 500 table.)
I also need something to display the results. (Today I also use FP2k for this, with html coding. This page also runs with VB scripting, and includes SQL statement to retrieve appropriate fields).
I guess if I had to mimic all of this, using tool(s) available today - I guess I am asking what tools should I use to do this?
I've read answers over the years that suggest using MySQL (and variants) married with an editor. Problem is, I am very comfy creating/inputting/using info in Access and I would love to continue to do so. If I could "easily export" to another db like MySQL; I've not seen any "easy" way to do this. I know it's a snap to export tables from one Access DB into another DB file; and I do this daily. Last time I looked into this, and it's been awhile, the issue of exporting out of Access into MySQL overwhelmed me.
For my next trick - currently I maintain 25000/1000/500 myself and in the future, if a visitor (or secure visitor) wants to supplement these records themselves (I don't have to touch it, but can monitor closely for quality control as well as specify what data they can put where (thinking combo-box strategies); would these tool recommendations still be the same, or would they change?
I may be in way over my head and I'm gulping some water on this - but I am not quite dead yet. Any insights would be appreciated.
-To be truthful, I start with a 25000 record table of records, but after I pare out what I don't want, it slims down to about 650 records. I actually transfer 650/1000/500 tables in one database to my webhost daily. It's under 6MB.

Ok, Ill bite on this!
User visits website, has to login, and their login username and password are in the 1000 table.
This is one area where most go wrong! Logons and user authentication is a HUGE topic. Sure, lets have some logons! While near every web development tool supports some type of security model, this issue is oh so often overlooked, it close to leaving out the fact that all cars with a gas motor need gasoline!
So, while near every web site has some type of system, it is a REALLY huge issue, and one that needs MUCH thought.
For example, when Access web hit the scene, one HUGE issue was the logon system it used. (It required windows domain users). The problem is public facing web sites dont all work well with this setup. So, if you have internal SharePoint, then great. But for a public facing web site, SharePoints authentication model does not have a good system in which users can sign up, logon, reset password etc. So even simple things like what happens if a user forgets their password? If the site is for 10 people, then they can email you. If it is for 10,000 people, then obviosity users need that option to self-serve that process.
Or perhaps you adopt Facebook or google logons. So, the kind of security system you use for a web site is kind of like cars and that those gas motors need gasoline. We just assume that this part of the choice we make. However, are you going to setup a refinery, and make that gasoline? Now this becomes a very complex topic.
My only point here is that talking about logons for a web site is a big topic. Who and how will we add new users? Who and how will we disable existing users?
If you choose the wrong kind of authentication provider for your web site, then you going to wind up with a system that may not work at all for your needs. The Access web setup is a perfect example of this (The logon system was not appropriate for public facing web sites only internal company ones).
Now, you can attempt to roll your own logon system. (From that table of 1000 users). My recommend?
Web servers has security systems built in. The internet is a VERY nasty place. So, can you tie your existing table INTO the existing security system? Well, yes, you can in most cases. But that means you are swapping out a TRUCKLOAD of software that designed around an existing security table. And how the security table looks will often be different then what you have.
How such sites work is similar to how workgroup security worked for Access. You dont write a whole bunch of if/then/else code when a web page is loading. What you do is say that all users who are a member of security group customers can only view the web page. Now, the page either loads, or does not if the user lacks rights to that page. And if they dont have rights, then all of the pre-built in systems that DIRECT the users to another page, or tell them they cant do this does NOT have to written by you!
Now I apologies for already having written too much about security, since like cars, every web site has a security system. But, say you choose a web hosting provider that dont support the type of security model you need? Well, then you cant use that web hosting. So, just like SharePoint is rotten at public facing web sites, you need caution in this area.
I sounds oh so simple. User logs in. But really it is a complex issue. Which of these users are allowed to view and user certain web pages? What about web pages before they have logged in?
Ok, so at the end of the day? Yes, you can use that table of 1000 users. But I would in fact move them into the existing security tables, since THEN the huge amount of features like re-set passwords, logging in, logging out. Session timeouts all the gazillion features in regards to authenticated users on that web site will NOW run from the existing infrastructure.
The moral of the story here?
Dont take web security and authentication systems for granted. It is a huge subject. Now of course how you refine gasoline is a huge subject, but everyone drives cars with gas, and everyone users web sites with logons!
What current tools do you recommend that would accomplish this?
Well, it really comes down to what skills you have now. If you have Access and VBA skills? Well then hands down would be to use Visual Studio, vb.net + asp.net.
On the other hand, does your web hosting support windows software and asp.net?
So, if you go out and say learn PHP, and MySQL? Well, if youre current web hosting dont support that database, and programming language, then that will not work. Remember, web hosting is just a server computer. And any software you choose to write code with MUST be installed and supported on that server.
So, there are Linux servers, Windows servers, IBM WebSphere servers. They all run and have different software. They are NOT compatible with each other.
So, you either:
Look at what tools and systems you current web hosting supports, and then go off and learn those tools. It is of no use for me to suggest to go out and learn product X to develop with to ONLY then find out your web hosting dont support that programming language or development tools.
Now, perhaps changing web hosting is a possible choice for you. So, now, you would choose a web hosting provider that supports the web programming languages and systems you are familiar with (or want to learn, or have learned).
So choosing web hosting system is really like choosing a laptop. If you choose an Apple mac laptop, then it not going to run Access, is it? Same thing for web systems.
Ok, now that I noted the above?
I would migrate the data to SQL server. Keep the Access front end. I would then setup a server, and run the web hosting from that box. That way, the web site, and your Access program both share the same database at the same time. A solution with searching, user logons etc.? You really want a common database.
If hosting your own internet server is out of the question? I would still consider SQL server for your data. So one setup could be that you purchase lower cost web hosting but still have the SQL server on site. All I am suggesting here that half baked solutions in which you attempt to shuffle data between two database systems are REALLY bad, lots of extra work, and they tend to not be extensible over time. Again, avoid solutions in which you have to shuffle data between two database systems if possible.
It really comes down to what tools you want to learn and adopt. They all have considerable learning curves. But, at least with asp.net, you can adopt tools that are reasonable familiar with how you work now.
And how complex is the existing application? If it not complex, then why not the whole thing to 100% web move based?
Anyway I have typed on for far too long.
As noted, check out this UA post of mine:
Its the same one I referenced earlier on in this thread.
I recommend hosting your own web server on site if you have the IT people for this. If not, then consider going 100% web based if your existing desktop application is not rich in features.
And you could consider still hosting free SQL server on your local network, and have the web site pull from that.
Good luck!
