Let’s begin by understanding the concept of Best tips for Secret to Reseller Hosting Profit by Host.co.in. The ‘reseller hosting account’ is purchased by a hosting reseller from hosting providers or from owners of a DC. After buying this account, it is sold to others and profit is earned over it. Generally, server space is brought in huge amount and re-selling it to clients in order to gain returns from it. In this article you will be introduced to the secret behind successful resellers that earn great profits also you will understand all the customer pain points related to reseller hosting services and how to get rid of them all.
Hosting business is the most competing field on the web. In the last few years’ hundreds and thousands of people have started hosting their businesses on the web. Also, the count of the reseller has increased across the globe. In spite of the sudden rise in the number of people who have stepped in the world of getting their business hosted, it doesn’t mean that all owners are customers of web hosting services. In a situation like this one, in order to sustain hosting businesses and to obtain new clients hosting resellers have to plan and acquire a strategy. A strategy where they offer a price cut on the hosting packages they provide to their clients.
Type-1: This churn is non-renewal of the domain itself.
Type-2: The domain services are migrated to some other hosting provider.
Reasons, why Type-1 churns, are lost: Generally when potential clients see no value in going online and when the requirements such as lead generations, order, and sign-ups are not fulfilled. Type-2 churns are lost due to poor renewal follow up the process by existing hosts, some flaws detected in the online payment process for customers, also these days there is easy domain transfer from one registrar to another.
Hosting Reseller must get on their toes at all times to acquire new customers, provide required services in order to retain customers.
Since domains are renewed every year the resellers have to renew their customer plans annually. It also means resellers have to adopt new technologies for their clients only once annually. If this is missed, the year followed by it, the customer runs on an outdated technology. Some updates include the patterns like offline payments that have been replaced by online payment softwares and payment gateways and mobile wallets. The increase in preference of chat support over phone support, self-help video/pdf have been replaced by knowledge bases.
1. Combining web hosting and other related services: When a start-up is established and when it is in the very initial stage, web hosting is generally at the bottom of the table. So there should be initiatives taken by the providers wherein apart from providing reseller and hosting and domain registration only. Hosting providers should provide some additional services such as site development, shopping cart, CRM software and payment gateway integration. Since security is a major concern these days, SSL certificates, certain security scanning services too should be provided. Few more added services such as search engine optimization followed by lead generation, and other such activities that help in generating revenue of the brand. Instead of providing just a small part of clients’ brand presence on the web, hosting services providers should focus on how they can effectively offer an end-to-end solution for all the online processes.
2. Implementing best practices: Out of the two churns we discussed above, the Type-2 Churn that wishes to get transferred to another provider is not happy about the services because of these reasons in specific: Users are not satisfied with services offered. Another reason could be because clients are unhappy with the way the product is been offered. Both of these issues can be resolved by prospecting them correctly before the signup process. Hosting providers can also pre-educate them about numerous possibilities, restrictions and also about the usage terms.
Web Hosting Resellers have a lot of opportunities of offering a wide range of services to their users also understanding their needs, working on it to provide an apt way out is equally important. A lot of resellers tend to overlook the customer’s needs. This can lead to dissatisfaction and customer loss.

Backyard ponds are magical. There are so many different things that can be done with a backyard pond… A backyard pond is a great place to create your own educational ecosystem. Additionally, a backyard pond can be a great home to showcase your exotic plant life. You can improve the ambiance of your existing backyard pond by adding one or two backyard water features. A back yard pond is an exotic accessory to any landscape, it encourages the positive vibrations common to feng shui landscape and is great for hosting intimate or family events. With a backyard pond, your objective should be to enhance the existing natural resources.
A backyard pond is the ideal home for many species of animals, fish, and plants. Creating an ecosystem with your own backyard pond is not a far-fetched idea. Basically, an eco system is the way an environment and the various residents of that environment interact with each other. If you take a closer look at your pond, you may find that an ecosystem may already exist. In any case, one option that can be considered is introducing some goldfish to your garden pond. Goldfish come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. One thing to keep in mind when opting to stock your fish pond with fish is to make sure your selection of fish is compatible with each other. Remember, fish do eat other fish.
Another great idea for your garden pond is the introduction of exotic plant life . There are so many choices of plants that thrive in a watery environment, like a fish pond. Plants for ponds can be the kind that develops roots underneath the water’s surface and the plant itself sits above or on top of the water. Plants like these include water lilies or even arrowheads. You can also introduce plant life to your backyard pond whose dual purpose is to regulate and maintain the oxygen levels of your backyard pond, while still beautifying. These types of plants keep the water transparent and clean. There are even some plants that are completely free floating, like water lettuce .
Water fountains are a great complement to backyard ponds. There’s just about every size and shape of water fountains available on the market. You can opt for a whole dramatic water fountain kit or a really small elegant component that moves the water in your backyard pond ever so slightly and gently. The decision on the style or type of water fountain is entirely yours. The biggest benefit of using or introducing a water fountain to your backyard pond is the fact that it encourages movement in the water. According to feng shui, stagnant water attracts negative not positive energy and creates an unhealthy environment.
A backyard pond adds amazing ambiance to any property. People of all ages find that they are positively affected by backyard ponds. It is an ideal environment for many species of animals, fish, and plants. It can be a source of education as its self contained ecosystem begins to thrive. Not to mention, there is great enchantment and whimsy to be had with a functional backyard pond.

The Beer Mystic was once published 1 chapter per site, per place, per URL around the world in e-zines, literary sites, e-pubs, etc. to form a kind of virtual pub crawl.
This, however, did not last long before links started to break off, disappear, die and so mere weeks into this experiment it was already showing signs of failure. Today, probably about half of the links are still active and I’ve rewritten the novel anyway since uploading.
My apologies for not getting back earlier. I’ve been a bit out of it recently, and not all that together.
I’d be happy to publish an excerpt from your novel, however, I’m a bit mystified as to what you want me to do. Can you send me an attachment of the excerpt and then we can see where we go to from there.
i apologize for my tardiness. Urban Graffiti 11 is presently crossing all the “t’s” and dotting all the “i’s” after being proofread. your Beer Mystic excerpt from UGX can still be found at [http://www.killuglyradio.com/splurge/urban-graffiti-20081025.pdf] however, that site has recently retired, so I have to make alternative arrangements for now and into the future. I have long wanted my litzine to have a blog as well, so this is the avenue I am going to take. Will be in touch ASAP with the link for the UG11 pdf.
by the way, you might wish to list Urban Graffiti as located in Edmonton, CANADA as opposed to Edmonton, CA, to distinguish it from the other zines, etc, located in California.

Shoppers at the Tesco stores in Bury St Edmunds have helped to boost the funds of My WiSH Charity’s Every Heart Matters appeal by £4,000.
It was raised through their blue token Bags of Help scheme which operates at the main store at the St Saviours Interchange and its other three smaller outlets in Stamford Court, Lawson Place and St Andrew’s Street South.
Bags of Help is Tesco’s local community grant scheme where the money raised from the sale of carrier bags is being used to fund thousands of local projects in communities right across the UK. Launched in 2015, Bags of Help sees charities and community organisations awarded grants to fund local projects.
Three community projects in each local area are voted on by customers with projects changing every other month.
Following the vote, the project that received the most votes in its area receive a grant of up to £4,000, second place receiving up to £2,000 and third place up to £1,000.
Customers are given a token when they buy their shopping that they can use to make their choice using the voting units in the stores.
The appeal is aiming to raise £500,000 for a new cardiac diagnostic unit at the West Suffolk Hospital and the money raised by Tesco shoppers in Bury has been another help towards the target.
Lynda Osborn, the community champion at Tesco in Bury, said: “Part of the 10p for a bag will go towards the appeal and every customer that comes into the store that makes a transaction will get a blue token to vote for their favourite charity.
“It happens at all of our stores and I don’t think people know how much money we give out to make a difference to the community.
“Having the cardiac unit at the hospital is going to be better for patients rather than them having to travel further for treatment as we will have all the facilities here in Bury.

During their last week as housemates, 4 friends, Tim, Kris, Sebastiaan and René accidentally end up in a tough situation where they get one week to sell an incredible amount of cocaine. This would be a challenging assignment for the most experienced gangsters, but for these 4, who don’t know a thing about the criminal world, it’s basically impossible. This insane task forces them to fall deeper and deeper into the criminal world. A intimidating yet hilarious trip that takes them across the Jewish, Turkish and Flemish drug mafia.

For being a movie about a true story that took place primarily 70+ years ago, it’s shocking just how similar and relevant the intolerance in Professor Marston and the Wonder Women remains today.
For those who don’t know, this movie tells the story of Professor Marston, who created the character Wonder Woman. What many didn’t realize is the unorthodox polyamorous relationship Marston had with his wife and their mutual lover is what inspired the character in the first place. Wonder Woman is essentially a combination of the two women he loves, and she fights against the intolerance that Marston faces in his day to day life, being ostracized and shunned by those who knew about his private life.
The film intentionally follows the cues of a traditional melodramatic biopic. This is a conscious decision to make the characters more sympathetic to audiences that may not immediately be on board with Marston’s lifestyle choices. While I understand the tactic from a psychological perspective, I can’t help but feel like the tried and true structure holds the film back from being something truly special.
The performances from the three leads (Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, and Bella Heathcote) are excellent, with Heathcote having the biggest actual arc of the three. The script does a good job telling a very long and complex life story in two hours. Undoubtedly there was a lot that had to be cut, but I think this does an admirable job of moving things along while getting through a lot of material.
This is an important movie, as it addresses a type of lifestyle that is still misunderstood 70 years later. The same type of bigotry and hatred heaped upon Marston and the two “Wonder Women” in his life would likely be shockingly similar to the treatment he’d receive today. I hope this movie finds the audience it deserves. It’s well made, well acted, and will likely open a lot of eyes about the true motivations behind the character of Wonder Woman and how the more things appear to change, the more they’ve really stayed the same.

When the quality of life for pets & animals deteriorates, tough decisions have to be taken to prevent needless suffering.
We were alerted to a lovely cat called Lillo on one Italian trip, who we had seen before as a healthy & energetic cat. She had been either poisoned or battered by a dog (or both!). She had holes and bruising everywhere & was in agony. The struggle to tell the vets that the animal was suffering & needed to be put to sleep, was not a new one. Time & time again, the mentality in Alghero of "we are vets, & need to cure the animals not kill them" results in needles suffering. It was agonising trying to comfort & watch this poor cat who suffered for two days, then died in the car while I was rushing him back to the vets.
Marvin first attracted attention, when he was noticed moving through gardens in zone 2 of South West London.
At first he was assumed to be someones pet, but then a wound was noticed to his eye. Combined with his extremely recluesive nature, the suspicion arose that he was a feral who was in need of medical attention. Time passed & Marvin, having been noticed by a cat rehabilitation volunteer, consistantly avoided human activity. He was routinely observed moving along the streets, weaving around the bins with intent, but going almost entirely unnoticed.
Posters were raised to try & find an owner, but nobody came forward.
It was heartbreaking, but the kindest thing was to put him to sleep.
It would have been torturous for him, if he were forced to endure captivity & handling for necessary treatment.
Had he been left to his own devices, he would have degraded slowly & died uncomfortably, but that was little comfort.
Sometimes tough decisions need to be made!

Apple investigated over moves to close our alternate payment options.
According to the Wall Street Journal and MacObserver, Apple’s recent moves to prevent applications running on iPad and iPhone sending people outside the “Apple Payment Channels” to pay for extra content, subscriptions or services have been referred to the DOJ.
The issue at stake is whether a newpaper can provide an app that provides paid for access to extra services, where the extra services are billed for using a non-Apple (i.e. where Apple does not keep 30%) method. Apple recently changed its T&C to prevent such routes to market.

Teaching and writing have two very important things in common. They are composite skills. There is no one single skill which makes someone an excellent writer or an excellent teacher. Instead, it takes many skills working in concert to do either. More than that, there are no unimportant skills. You cannot adequately compensate for a deficiency in one by exaggerating another. Ability with dialogue will never replace grammar. Nor will action replace dialogue. Skills must meet a certain threshold in order to work as part of the greater whole. When that happens, they all meld together in a great symphony, complementing one another.
One last thought: you're only as good as your weakest skill, so plan accordingly.

Let's take a look at this video about how you might do some diagnostics in R.
In fact, my students and I have contributed to a bit of that.
But there are other things that are out there.
so you need to program your own.
which I'm going to show you, it's easy to do on your own.
So we'll start with that as an illustration.
So how do we compute these things?
We're going to use the same model as in a previous video.
the we'll look at standardize residuals.
variance 1 under the model if you've got the model specified correctly.
So how do we estimate sigma hat?
It is an estimate of the model error variance.
we can use the survey weights in making an estimate of it.
will be the sum over the elements in the sample i an element of s.
fitted from the model, divided by the sum of the survey weights.
assuming that you've got the models specified correctly.
and take a look at them.
So here's the code to do that.
I won't spend a lot of time on this.
We want to require the survey package because that does the model fitting.
We tell it use the API data.
We specify our stratified design object using the API strat data set.
Fit our model with svyglm.
And the same model as before.
I calculate the estimate of the underlying sigma square this way.
I take, there's a built in function called weighted mean in the stat piece of R.
So you don't have to do anything special to get at that.
We just invoke it weighted.mean.
And first you tell it what are the things I want the weighted mean of.
The model object that I saved, m1, has got a component called residuals.
So I square those and then I tell it here's my weight apistrat$pw.
Which is just the survey weight.
And it'll compute that sigma-hat squared that we looked at on the last slide.
So then I take the standardized residuals and calculate those this way.
divided by the root of sig2, which I just computed.
So we can look at a summary those, and you can see they're a little off balance.
the mean's -0.278, or -0.2837.
the residuals ought to be 0.
We've actually fit a weighted leaf squares here.
But still you'd like to see those centered around 0.
And they're kind of asymmetric.
The smallest one is -3.86 largest is 2.54.
we're seeing something a little different here.
Now, let's draw a picture to look at these standardized residuals.
their packages that extend those, the gg plot package is an excellent one.
This is just basic R graphics.
And then I want to plot in the two pieces of the plotting matrix.
First I plot on the x axis, a variable called apistrat$cnum.
And then on the y axis I plot my standardized residuals.
how big the residual is.
Conceivably that could be true.
You get urban counties, rural counties, they could act differently.
I put some labels on my plot so I could understand it better.
And I draw a horizontal line at 0.
That's where the residuals should be centered if all is going well.
a non parametric smoother through the plot.
ought to be up and down around 0, centered on 0.
lowess ought to be wiggling through above the horizontal 0 line.
So we'll take a look at that.
wide as the standard selection for the line width.
school enrollment, apistrat$enroll, and I label the axes again.
And I fit a non-parametric smoother through there again.
We've got counties on the left.
And here's my county number on this axis.
smoother is down below 0 which is slightly troubling.
There's nothing obvious about extreme residuals.
distributed in an extreme way around 0.
There is, however, this one outlier here compared to the other points.
you can take a look at those to see what's going on with those.
Then, over in this panel, I plotted standardized residuals versus enrollment.
And here, we really see something.
The non-parametric smoother is definitely not horizontal at 0.
There's a real linear trend in these residuals.
Which just means that enrollment better get into the model.
It's affecting the academic performance index, it's related to it.
Over here, county doesn't much matter.
There's not an obvious reason for including county.
So we learned a little bit by doing this.

Omnity stands out by offering results that best match for any given search term and also how those results relate to each other. So if you're about to start a research project on a topic you know little about, you can quickly see who is getting cited the most, whose research is the most influential or which university is leading the pack on that subject.
It draws from a number of data sets, including SEC filings, public news organization reports, scientific journals, financial reports and legal histories.
You can also drag and drop documents into the search engine to get an analysis of the "rare words" in it - Omnity obviously strips out the little words like "he," "she," "it" and "but," yet also looks for words that are more unique to any given document to get a better idea of what it's about.
When Brain Sager, Omnity Co Founder was asked about if they will become another search engine bought out by Google the reply was that Omnity was more likely to beat Google and then buy it!

What Secret do Tiger Woods, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Mister Miyagi have in common?
Tiger Woods, Friedrich Nietzsche and Mister Miyagi all understand that to be great, to perform great deeds, to fly, we must first learn to stand, then walk, then run. To learn to do these things doesn’t take any special skill or innate talent. We all have learned to do them. What it does take is a strong mind.
I watch in amazement as my son learns to do these things. He doesn’t get discouraged because he can’t do them. He keeps trying, over and over again. With each effort he gets a little better. Sometimes it seems like he is actually getting worse rather than better. Then one day, he does something he’s never done before.
My son doesn’t think about having a strong mind, he just has one. We all did when we were his age. Somewhere along the way we lost it. Now we are afraid to fail, whereas my son has no concept of failure. He just somehow understands that to get better, he must keep trying.
On Memorial Day 2012, Tiger Woods holed a green side chip shot on hole #16 that helped propel him to victory. It was his 73 tour win and brought him into a tie with Jack Nicklaus for PGA Tour victories. Jack Nicklaus, the founder and host of the Memorial Tournament, said it could have been the most difficult shot he’d seen in the thirty-six year history of the tournament, which he founded in 1976.
In the movie The Karate Kid, Daniel asks Mister Miyagi to teach him karate. What does Mister Miyagi do? He has Daniel-san paint his fence, paint his house and wax his car — wax on, wax off. “What does that have to do with learning karate,” Daniel asked?
To execute the shot that Tiger holed, or to beat Johnny from the Kobra Kai as Daniel-san did, or to fly, it is necessary to first learn to stand, then walk, then run. More than that, we must believe that we can do these things. Belief provides the inspiration to get up and try again. This belief is governed by the same forces that propel my son to keep getting up after he falls down. These forces are often referred to as a Growth Mindset and a Mastery Orientation. They are key components to a strong mind.
Individuals with a Growth Mindset believe that they can get better. They believe that with hard work, determination and sometimes a little luck (for good measure) that they can continually improve. They are not afraid of failure. In fact they see failure as a right of passage to the shores of success. It is the Japanese idea of Kaizen – daily, incremental steps to improvement. Or what Anthony Robbins calls CANI — Constant And Never-ending Improvement. To get better, to improve ourselves, we must first believe that we can get better.
Individuals with a Mastery Orientation participate in an activity for the sake of the activity itself and the enjoyment of trying to improve. They “have as their primary incentive a desire to learn, improve, and excel,” writes Dr. Gio Valiante, the author of Fearless Golf.
This is of course where many of us find ourselves off the path and in the weeds. We want the rewards without the effort. Or we don’t believe in ourselves; we doubt our ability to achieve that which we desire. We lack a Growth Mindset and a Mastery Orientation.
Tiger Woods holed his shot, Daniel beat Johnny and we all have learned to walk because because of our strong minds. Unfortunately, some of us now find ourselves in the weeds. Luckily, it is easy to find our way clear of them. If we adopt a Growth Mindset and a Mastery Orientation, which are both learnable skills, we can invigorate our strong minds once again. Apply this thinking to your parenting, to your career, to your relationships and you will reap the rewards.

Q0067: Assalam Alaikum, My question is since past many years I feel lethargic about my daily activities and also insomniac for almost about 10 years now, i do pray whenever i get time.. I do listen ruqya almost daily whenever i listen automatically i burst into tears I mean to say just tears flow from my eyes but no seizures or epileptic in the whole process i will be in full of my consciousness. Even i've consulted a raaqi a couple of years back and had many seatings in his ruqya he said its nothing im just normal person. Please advise what are your views about me being in tears whenever i listen to ruqya.. Jazaakallaah.?
Lethargy and insomnia are symptoms of jinn possession but it doesn't mean that you are possessed. Please see the links below on how to overcome both of these issues.
Crying while reading Quran for no reason is not normal. Try to make a note of the verses that you are crying to. It maybe black magic in which case you may react the verses listed below otherwise it maybe jinn.
Please contact us again and let us know if you discover anything.

An Irish Wolfhound is an imposing sight: tall, muscular, and powerfully built. This Wolfhound, the creation of Fred Cuthbert out of Talent, Oregon, lives up to that image. With its downward swooping haunches, taut curves, and elevated front end, the bike looks ready to pounce.
This women’s bike is crafted from aircraft-grade chromoly tubing, the singlespeed frame is built around 27.5-inch wheels and a RockShox Pike suspension fork with 6 inches of travel that’s ready to tame aggressive trails. There’s no mistaking it, this bike is ready for action.
The Wolfhound was made to roam the forests and trails of Mount Hood. The snowcapped volcano, the highest point in all of Oregon, stands 50 miles east of Portland and is surrounded by vast swaths of wilderness. It’s also a region that’s home to hundreds of miles of mountain bike trails. From lift-accessed runs to remote backcountry XC trails, Mt. Hood offers outdoor recreation opportunities for everyone.
It’s easy to imagine this women’s bike cruising the mountain bike specific trail networks situated between Portland and Mount Hood, which feature sculpted singletrack trails that carry riders through a thick canopy of hemlock, cedar, and Douglas fir trees. Some of the best in the country—and models in sustainable trail building practices—the region’s trails are easily accessible gems for mountain bikers in the Portland area, and anyone who visits the region.
One of the area’s main draws in the Timberline Lodge, home to the longest ski season in the U.S., and miles of singletrack trails to explore in the summer. The mascot at Timberline is a St. Bernard named Bruno. Cuthbert, who has a thing for naming bikes after dogs (the company name Wolfhound honors a gone-but-not-forgotten shop companion), named this bike Bruno, painting that name right on the frame.
One of less than 10 Wolfhounds that Cuthbert will build this year, Bruno looks like nothing else out on the trails. The curved seatstays give it a unique aesthetic, but the builder says the real story with the curves is the ride quality that they produce. He crafts the bends himself and says the design allows for a shorter wheelbase, producing responsive handling that helps the bike shine in the big mountain terrain of the Pacific Northwest.
A close look at the bike reveals numerous unique design touches. The seat tube intersects split seatstays up top near the post. Down low, it connects to the bottom bracket via a wishbone junction. This allows for the shorter chainstays and also creates a stiffer pedaling platform, Cuthbert says.
The frame features internal cable routing for the rear brake and dropper seatpost, plus custom single-speed dropouts and a press-fit bottom bracket with two additional Phil Wood bearings inside. The frame finish, a paint scheme Cuthbert calls sour-apple-green, gives Bruno a spicy look, especially when paired with its red Chris King hubs and headset—also made in Oregon.
Cuthbert described his bike just right: up for anything. And for anybody who’s fortunate enough to ride trails near Mount Hood, that’s a proper rallying cry.

How to force Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) to preserve default folder layout settings on all user and shell folders - C:Amie (not) Com!
Infuriatingly, with the release of Windows Vista, we took a step backwards to a bug that was fixed with the release of Windows XP SP2 on XP. The dreaded shell folders ‘Bags’ bug was back, and this time it was intentionally trying to annoy us.
Unlike in XP where the system would get confused by overwriting folder settings, in Vista we now have a form of ‘auto intelligence’ to contend with that is supposed to look at the contents of folders to determine if they contain say pictures or videos and display fields that the user may find useful with respect to any available meta data. OK, I can see that this may be a valuable feature to a lot of people, me personally, I’m not interested. The problem is that the auto intelligence is about as intelligent as a toaster at discovering file folder types.
All too often you come back to the folder view to be presented with nothing other than folder name – no type, size, date or any of the other meta tag fields.Even more irritating is the persistence on the operating system in displaying “tile” view.
Personally, I cannot be dealing with “tile” view. I need my details view or I’m just not a happy bunny. Will Vista retain it? No, of course not. No amount of “Set Default” clicking will change it. Although you can get it to cooperate for user folders for a time, none of the shell folders will retain the settings and will always default back to “Tile” view. So you may be thinking, OK, I can live with that.
Wrong! You can’t live with that either. Invariably most access to the user file system goes by way of a shell folder, be it through ‘Computer’, ‘Network’ etc. Open the recycle bin or any other shell folder and the ‘Bags’ become contaminated with an entry for Tile view and within a few short weeks (even days or hours) you start to get user folders appearing polluted with tile view again in a completely nonsensical fashion.
There is a well documented standard fix on the web for this, and it does help to extend the time that Tiles view will re-contaminate your shell folders.
It is worth noting at this point that if you like the auto folder detection, and do not want all of your folders to appear in default view – or some other set of customisation’s, then you shouldn’t be following this guide.
What this is doing is supposedly turning off the Windows Vista folder discovery part of the equation, so that it will not try and analyse what is in the folder you are opening and try and be clever in displaying the correct meta data. What this doesn’t do is fix “Tile” View.
The following steps will outline how to prevent Vista from displaying a Windows Explorer layout that you do not want to see (hopefully). For system administrators it is deployable using the standard tools.
Here you will see a lot of numbered sub-keys. Delete them, all of them. Once you are done press F5 and ensure that none have come back while you were doing all of that, if so delete them as well.
Return to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags and delete and numeric sub keys (including 1) – do not delete the AllFolders sub-key!
If you managed to follow all of that, then when you open explorer, every instance – including shell folders – should now appear as you defined in step 11.

On this episode, Whitney and Paul discuss comparisons and, in particular, the stories of ourselves we carry around in our heads. We recognize the idea of having a choice in the matter of that story — we can stop reading the book — but then, where do you go from there?
When we either find the right story to read or stop reading other people’s stories and write our own, we attract people into our lives who are, in a much deeper, more authentic sense, meant to be there.

text: For telemetry and UHF applications, it is desirable to obtain as omnidirectional a radiation pattern as possible, with no nulls in the pattern aft of the missile. This objective is met with the series AO555-(*) antenna. The antennas are small, lightweight, and can meet extremely high temperature requirements. Their streamlined shape yields very low drag. The antennas may be used in arrays; usually two, mounted diametrically opposite with one always fed 180° out of phase with respect to the other when the ratio of wavelength to missile diameter is greater than one.

Charlie the cat got in a fight with the in-law’s dog, Maggie, and while Maggie could have literally swallowed Charlie in two bites, it was Charlie who did the damage.
Not that it wasn’t somewhat warranted. Charlie is NOT used to the environment at their house. He was supposed to have the front room all to himself as he got used to the place. But Maggie is a big dog who wanted to say hello in the most direct way possible and stormed into the room making a b-line for the cat.
I didn’t actually see what happened, I was in another room, but I did see the aftermath.
Maggie: 80 pounds of lovable bruiser who does not know her own strength.
Charlie: 12 pounds of frightened cat who, even at his best, is a bit claw happy.
Charlie did some basic reconstruction of Maggie’s face and there was blood every where – all Maggie’s.
We cleaned up her face, slathered her in ointment, and she lay, very sad that she and Charlie were not friends, for about thirty minutes before she tried to come into the room again.
So you might be wondering why I’m going into great detail about a cat and dog fight – something that could happen any day of the week.
Maggie is a pit bull.
Eighty pounds of dog who is strong and determined and, by her physical features, could have killed Charlie many times over – but she didn’t because that was never what she wanted.
Pit Bulls get such a bad rap just because bad people like to teach them to do bad things.
Maggie is bull headed (no pun intended) and a little on the “simple” side, but all she wanted to do was love Charlie. It’s just when you see eighty pounds of dog coming at you in a hurry it’s easy to be frightened. And that’s a big reason why I wanted to address this today. Fear gets in the way of a lot of things, progress and understanding being two of them. And it isn’t just about Pit Bulls (although I do hope that one day soon Farankie won’t be banned from a whole bunch of cities in the U.S. and countries abroad) it’s about a lot of things. Sometimes it worth taking some time to reflect on the things that scare you so you can actually explore why they scare you. When you get past the scariness of it you can start to understand it, and if you understand it then you are that much closer to defeating it.
What do you fear? Would you rearrange it’s face if you had the chance? Let me know in the comments.

I have two Colecovisions, one of which works. I bought it after I received the first one, which I was told had spent about 20 years in a roofless shed in a hurricane-prone area. Needless to say, it does not function properly.
1. The problem must not be the power supply, since it properly powers the working Colecovision. Also, the Atari 2600 module still works with the broken Colecovision, so it must be getting enough power. I have also tested this with a second power supply.
2. The problem may be the power switch, but I doubt it. Even when I would get the Atari 2600 module to work, it occasionally took a couple of turn-on attempts and some pressure on the power swtich. However, I have never seen the Colecovision BIOS screen appear, and I would assume that if the issue was just poor switch contacts that I would eventually get the BIOS screen to appear.
3. The sound chip works. This I assume because I still get a constant tone when I turn it on, and the tone isn't always the same. I'm guessing it's just outputting whatever random value it starts with. I've wondered if this implicates the CPU or the BIOS since I would assume one of the first things it would do is set the sound chip to output no sound.
4. The video chip probably works. I found that with a cartridge inserted, I could occasionally get random color bars to appear on screen after jiggling the power switch some or rapidly turning the console on and off. However, it's very rare that I manage to achieve this, and I only remember it happening from when I first attempted to repair the console a few years ago.
1. Which component is most likely to fail and cause this to happen?
2. If a chip has failed, I know that most of them are (or were) common and could be replaced, but what about the BIOS chip? I'm sure these can only come from other Colecovisions, and I would prefer to repair mine with destroying another. If I do need to replace the BIOS chip, would it be possible to create a custom chip?
3. Could it be a capacitor? I've never encountered a faulty dielectric capicitor, but I've read that their tops puff out when they leak. How visible is that effect?
4. What can I do to diagnose the problem? If need be, I might be able to borrow an oscilloscope.
5. I've seen mention of a Colecovision service manual which gives detailed information on how to test each of the components. Does a .pdf of it exist anywhere?

I would love to see a picture of this CV that has endured 20 years of hell.
You didn't mention that you've cleaned it up. When I say cleaned, I mean totally disassembled and cleaned up. Cart ports, switches, controllers, everything. Sounds like it really needs it. 20 years in that type of environment will bring on the age of anything.
When it was given to me, it had abandoned bug nests inside of it, the shielding was rusty, and the contacts were noticeably dirty. I did clean it then, and now it's not as bad as you would think. The peeled label is my fault because I thought at the time that you needed to remove the front panel to lift the top, and the three screws were underneath the label. The games all work, but their labels are brittle and falling off. I haven't cleaned the power switch yet, but I plan on doing so as soon as I find some dielectric grease for it.
I've skimmed through the technical manual, and it's clear that I'm going to need an oscilloscope to test all of the chips. The manual provides troubleshooting flow charts for various problems, one of which is no picture. The chart asks me to check that pin 36 of the VDP is "good," but it does not say how to do this. Other indicated pins have oscilloscope graphs in a later section. That pin, however, is the monochrome Y output, and so I attempted to test it by touching the tip of an RCA cable to the pin with the other end connected to the composite input of an old CRT TV, and I appeared to just get a clearer black screen. I think it's outputting properly since the signal engages the screen, but I don't know how to check it properly.

I'd say that system looks recoverable, and you did a good job getting it cleaned up. As far as the chips, I'd recommend that you talk to Yurkie here on the boards. He is our go-to guy for CV repairs, and can offer other services as well, such as A/V and pause mods.
Have you thoroughly cleaned the cartridge slot pins on this console?
Get some electronic parts cleaner at Radio Shack, or deoxit, and soak the main board (both sides), and all contact pins with the stuff. Spray parts cleaner into the power switch and flip it back and forth 5-10 times to clean out any accumulated grime. You may be surprised and find it cures the system of all that ails it.
I would say there are far to much damage to try to revive a unit that faced that much environmental abuse, I would pull the VDP and use it in a unit that needed a replacement and junk the rest. You could very likely have shorts between traces that are underneath ICs that are not even visible.
Yes I have, although I expect the problem lies elsewhere since I should still see the intro screen without a cartridge inserted.
Well, I'm not going to give up that easily. I will, however, put off the project until I acquire an oscilloscope. By your statement, I assume a replacement VDP chip would be hard to come by, and so the unit would essentially be lost if the VDP were damaged. What would cause shorts underneath the ICs?
VDPs are hard to come by and a common failure as much or more so than DRAM. I am all about saving CVs, but considering the abuse this system was exposed to, I think it better to not bother. Water and contaminants puddling under ICs could eat away and bridge the spaces between traces causing shorts.
If you where to carefully desolder the VDP and insert into a socket on a unit that needed one, you would be using this old abused unit to bring another system back to life.
One other thing you should look over closely is the condition of the pins in the cartridge jack, how badly are they corroded? If they are as bad as I imagine they would be, do you want to replace the cartridge jack?
Was exposure so great that even the ceramic capacitor got damaged? The electrolytic capacitors should be replaced and there is one under the rf module and one attached to the under side of the RF board, plus the ones that you can see mounted to the motherboard.
Just so many things. Something like a resistor got a crack in it and water is shorting it out.
Or not likely, but what if someone plugged it in years ago when it was full of water/moisture and shorted a bunch of components out and put it back where it was found?
If your willing to go to any lengths to save it, I wish you all the luck in the world.
First and all I'd suggest to use isopropyl alcohol to clean the PCB from both sides (also RF PCB).
I'd start checking the Z80 with a logic tester, first pin 6 (CLK) to see if clock generation is working, then pin 19 (MREQ) for memory access and pin 20 (IORQ) for VDP access.
The first thing that Coleco BIOS does is to turn off sound, if it doesn't do this (as you said), then the decoders aren't working or the ROM BIOS is damaged. If sound is turned off the next part to check is the 1K RAM.
I finally managed to borrow an oscilloscope for a brief time, but I still have not diagnosed the problem. Most of the oscilloscope waveforms provided by the technical manual were unhelpful since most were given for the blue game select screen, which of course I could not reach. I did confirm that the clock is working properly, and I did get signals for MREQ and IORQ on the Z80, and so I suspect that the processor works. I am now more suspicious of the BIOS chip, but I have no idea how to test it since the technical manual offered no advice on diagnosing a faulty BIOS chip.
The schematics were extremely helpful, although I am confused by the depiction of the BIOS chip in the schematic. The BIOS chip only has 24 pins, but the schematic has pins numbered above 24. I assume the four unoccupied holes between the chip and the "U2" label have been included, but where does the numbering start? I'm guessing that pins 1, 2, 27, and 28 are the unoccupied holes, and that the first pin on the chip itself is pin 3.
At this point, I'm about to give up. I cleaned the power switch just in case that was the problem, but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have any suggestions for testing the BIOS chip? I'm sure a logic tester would be helpful, but can I use a multimeter as a substitute?
Sounds like a valiant attempt was made. Good job!
Not just time to give up. Some ideas to test BIOS.
You should be looking for outputs with your oscilloscope, you should see peaks going from 5V+ to near 0V.
If outputs doesn't activate, then check the input signals, maybe the 74LS138 doesn't receive the signals.
If pass 1 is working, then you should do a continuity check from both 74LS138 to Z80 and BIOS to Z80, check every address and data pin. If every line is right, the you should check every address input and data output with oscilloscope to see changes, in case one data doesn't change it can signal a broken BIOS.
I'm suspecting of broken lines in PCB (maybe a scratch). In this case you could use your multimeter as a continuity tester.
Another option is oxyde between pins making contact, again use the multimeter.
By the way, don't forget to test the RESET pin of Z80, it should be at 5V+ commonly and only change to 0V when pressing the button. A frozen button could get it eternally in RESET.
Damn! And I was hoping for a fix at the end of this one!!

Talk about a timely show, given our prickly political season: 1776 has been staged by Dramaworks in a stirring, “reimagined” version with top notch acting and singing talent. It is THE musical of the year in South Florida. The show was written during its own contentious times, the Vietnam conflict, and also when the musical theatre was in a lengthy transition period, the days of Rodgers & Hammerstein in the past and at the dawning of the age of Sondheim, with Hamilton lying in the future. I mention these as there is a dotted line to all.
However 1776 stands on its own as an innovative musical and although it has some long dramatic stretches between musical numbers, its inspired songs fit perfectly with “the book.” It is in the tradition of some of Broadway’s best since Rodgers & Hammerstein changed the course of musical theater. And now Dramaworks has augmented it with several innovative concepts, including a clever opening, the cast in modern dress, clutched to their smart phones and iPads, images of MSNBC and FOX news and important moments of electioneering history projected in the background, wondering whether political acrimony has always been the norm in America. Costume changes on stage bring them into the Continental Congress and so begins the journey of discovering that the here and now is not that dissimilar to the then and there.
1776 portrays our founding fathers as real people. It was conceived by Sherman Edwards who at one time taught high school history and wrote the music and lyrics. The brilliant book was written by Peter Stone who chronicles the event with dazzling drama, tenderness, and abundant comic elements. There are the blue and red states, each with axes to grind, federalism vs. state’s rights, but, debate, commitment and compromise inexorably drive the production’s calendar pages to July 4, 1776 so we all know how it ends. The show is about how we get there. Suffice it to say, one wonders whether we would have a nation at all if today’s dysfunctional congress was arguing the case.
It invites comparison to today’s musical sensation, Hamilton, which we were fortunate enough to see last year. Hamilton’s “room where it happened” is about a grand compromise - the assumption of debt by a new national bank in exchange for placing the capitol on the Potomac whereas 1776’s “room where it happened” is about another grand compromise, striking the slavery clause for unanimity on signing the Declaration of Independence: two monumental moments in American History, two outstanding musicals on the subject, both ageless in their own right.
That was Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hat tip to 1776 and its opening number “Sit Down, John,” the lyrics which immediately grab you and bring you into the show, establishing its central character, an impassioned John Adams vs. the hot and tired Continental Congress and the themes of discord that run throughout the musical to its ultimate resolution.
John Adams is compellingly played by Gary Cadwallader, the only actor in the show who has a singular role. He is on stage almost during the entire show -- a bravura performance! Most of the other actors play characters from the liberal and conservative sides of the aisle. Necessity was the mother of a creative solution of staging this play with “only” 13 actors instead of the original show’s 26 and even having some of the female cast members play male roles, seamlessly, convincingly – sort of the same way the audience of Hamilton adjusts immediately to its multicultural cast. This conceit of playing parts from both sides of the aisle also challenges the confirmation bias that tends to permeate political views.
Never shying from having to be “politically correct,” the satirical song “Cool, Cool, Considerate Men” elegantly portrays the right-wing members of Congress doing a minuet around the lyric "never to the left ... forever to the right." It was originally cut from the film version of 1776 because of pressure from Richard Nixon through the producer, Jack Warner. The song is led by the conservative leader from South Carolina, John Dickinson, delectably played by Nicholas Richberg. His other part is Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, singing the “deliciouslee,” “compellinglee” memorable “Lees of Old Virginia” with “hilaritee.” It is a show stopper and Richberg is a very talented young actor whose professional future is assured.
Allegedly Nixon also wanted to excise the song "Momma Look Sharp," a plea from a dying soldier to his mother. Again, it helps to put the musical in the context of the times: the Vietnam War. This song was not cut. It captures the heartbreak and misery of war on a very personal level and you can hear a pin drop when it is hauntingly sung by the courier played by Mallory Newbrough, yet another young rising star. She also plays the passionate wife of Thomas Jefferson singing “He Plays the Violin” with exuberance and joy, dancing with Adams and Franklin. Remarkably she also has the minor role of George Washington reciting some of his dispatches to Congress.
“Molasses to Rum” is a powerful piece about the struggle to include an antislavery clause in the Declaration of Independence which the northern states capitulated on to make the final compromise. The song incorporates auctioneer’s sounds of slave markets, and links ties to the northern states in the practice of slavery thus encapsulating the hypocrisy. It has to be one of the most devastating songs ever written about slavery, and its economics and pain. We wondered who could bring the voice and emotion to this song like the great John Cullum did in the original stage and film version, and fortunately the show has the experienced Carbonell Award recipient Shane R. Tanner to play Edward Rutledge of South Carolina who is definitely up to the task and the comparison. He also plays Dr. Josiah Bartlett representing New Hampshire.
One of my favorite songs from the show is “Is Anybody There?” -- a lament sung by John Adams (Gary Cadwallader). While his sentiments come from the Adams’ letters to his wife Abigail, the title is from the dispatches sent by the weary George Washington to the Congress without action or reply.
Although he is separated from his wife throughout the convening of the Congress in Philadelphia, she appears on stage for duets with Adams, always very dramatic and touching, their correspondence to song. Abigail Adams is wonderfully depicted by four-time Carbonell nominee Laura Hodos who has a Broadway-class voice and seems ideally paired with Cadwallader. Her duet with him “Yours, Yours, Yours,” is heartbreakingly beautiful as they conclude the song with “Till then, till then/I am as I ever was and ever was/And ever shall be/Yours, yours, yours, yours, yours.” She also plays the critical role of John Hancock, the President of the Second Continental Congress, excelling in that role as well.
Special mention goes to Allan Baker who plays the sometimes cynical and often bawdy, but always pragmatic and influential Ben Franklin as well as Clay Cartland who convincingly plays the aristocratic Tom Jefferson, pining for his wife and suffering from writer’s block until she appears. Mr. Cartland also plays Georgia’s Dr. Lyman Hall. The rest of the cast, without exception is terrific: Kevin Healey, Sandi Stock, Troy J. Stanley, Matthew Korinko, James Berkley, and Michael Collins (providing much hilarity as New York State’s Lewis Morris who repeats "New York abstains....respectfully” to all motions).
The musical numbers reminded me of Sondheim with their harmony and internal rhymes. There is a touch of Gilbert and Sullivan as well. These are not the songs one immediately remembers as so many of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s, but they get under your skin and I find myself today while writing this review thinking about them and even singing (in my mind) Martha Jefferson’s “I hear his violin/And I get that feeling within/And I sigh, oh I sigh/He draws near, very near/And it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle/And it's goodbye to the fiddle/My strings are unstrung/Hi-hi-hi-hi/I'm always undone.” Just brilliant lyrics set to a wonderful waltz melody.
As a fully formed musical, the set and the costumes were critical, especially with frequent costume changes and the limited space on the stage. Scenic designer Michael Amico emphasizes functionality above all because of the space and large cast. Brian O'Keefe’s costumes were equally functional, period perfect, and numerous. In one scene there are actually 31 quick-change of costumes! Lighting design is by John Hall, and video design is by Sean Lawson. Michelle Petrucci is choreographer and assistant director. Sound design by Brad Pawlak adds an additional layer of drama to the production. James Danford, Dramaworks’ always dependable stage manager, shows his expertise in keeping all these moving parts together.
The musical director Craig D. Ames, who doubles as an extraordinary keyboardist, brought out the best in this talented cast and his five piece combo sounded more like a full orchestra. 1776 is a must see, not only for its relevancy, but simply because it is one of the preeminent Tony Award-winning American musicals and “reimagined” and presented perfectly by Dramaworks.

Recap: my Anthony Lent Instagram takeover.
You are here: Home / Jewelry / Recap: my Anthony Lent Instagram takeover.
As many of you doubtless already know, I had the pleasure earlier this week of collaborating on an Anthony Lent Instagram takeover!
Anthony Lent jewelry is one of my very favorite contemporary brands, so the chance to run their Instagram account for four days (with the offer of loaner jewelry to take the photos that would make it possible) was an opportunity too good to refuse.
I know you’re not all on the ‘gram, so I thought I’d do an after-the-fact recap dedicated to my Anthony Lent Instagram takeover today so that everyone can see all of the fabulous photos all in one place. I’m even including a few never-before-seen bonus photos, because I just adore you that much.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this recap of my Anthony Lent Instagram takover!
It was a really fun project and I was glad to have the chance to spend so much time with these stunning pieces. My conclusion, after getting to spend several days focused on photographing seven pieces of Anthony Lent’s jewelry, is that he is a true artist whose work only gets more incredible with further familiarity.
You need to know how amazing all of these pieces feel when worn: there’s nothing like solid, buttery gold against your skin. Chilly at first, but gradually warmer, with a solid, comforting weight. There’s no question that everything here is of the very highest quality.
To see more of Anthony Lent’s stunning work, please see these previous posts, my Anthony Lent Pinterest board, or the Anthony Lent website.
thanks for sharing this content…..
Just spent some time looking at Anthony Lent’s site – some of the pieces are “me”! I pinned a bunch of them. Amazing detail! And, probably like you, Becky, I love that when these pieces are worn, they surely make someone do a double-take when they see them. I also love the back stories on each one.
They’re incredible, aren’t they? I’ve been a fan for a while. Even the ones that aren’t something I would wear personally I have so much admiration for just because the craftsmanship is so incredible.
I like Anthony Lent’s pieces, but don’t know if they’re “me”. But there’s something very compelling about them! I like the leaf pendant, mysterious and primeval.
Thank you for sharing your photos of these pieces – I don’t do Instagram. I wouldn’t be able to keep up with it!
And which piece did you keep?!
The little moonface stud earrings! They’re so tiny perfect. I’ve been wearing them all the time.
