Managed Hosting Plans

What is the best website to plan a wedding?
I want to have an easy way to manage guest lists, budgeting, and host wedding information pages. Should I use theknot.com or weddingchannel.com ? What other websites are out there to help plan a weddding?

Cant go wrong with theknot.com there are checklists and answers to all the questions you could imagine (for a wedding), such as etiquette, seating and stuff like that. You can post your registries, make a guest list, track your RSVPs and more.

I am involved in planning academic event, hoping to attract 300 people-Where can i find a comprehensive guide?
This event is crucial for sustaining , increasing and improving community awareness of the organization that is hosting it. A comprehensive guideline to planning such an event would be extremely helpful (as I do not have a marketing or organizational background, i'm trying to be an asset to the team that is organizing it, so any help is greatly appreciated). A guideline that would include information on how to complete the following would be great : *We need to come up with a promotional strategy, as well as a design/logo, posters, color scheme...etc. It must inspire/motivate people to preregister for the event. *Creating timelines and working with businesses to advertise/promote the event. *working with a venue, ensuring enough event staff, security, efficient set-up for maximum viewing (posters, exhibits, merchandise for sale), appropriate set up to promote discussion among event participants. *catering. *assisting participants with travel/lodging. *managing guestlists. Thanks

Changing my Yahoo website plan from one email to another?
HI, i recently bought the "web hosting starter" plan from yahoo to start my own website. I have 2 yahoo email accounts. xxx@yahoo.com and yyy@yahoo.com. When i first bought the plan and all of that stuff i registered it under xxx@yahoo.com but now i want it to be under yyy@yahoo.com. Right now when i want to go in my site as the admin and manage all of the files i have to sign on xxx@yahoo.com. I want to be able to sign on my other email yyy@yahoo.com and manage it instead of the xxx@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance.

I'm clueless about all this, I have 5 e-mail accounts, free, incidentally, as the administrator, I manage them all. As should you, far as I can see.

server recommendation?
which host offers the best enterprise,managed or deticated hosting? I am starting a website and plan to get an ALOT of traffic a couple of months after the launch could you help??

You could host it yourself.... webserver software, Apache, is located at http://httpd.apache.org You probably have your web address already, but if not, I've used http://www.dyndns.com for years and am quite happy. Good luck!

Running away from a country?
My friend is taking a trip all over Europe next summer with our school. She is taking a stop in Germany at one point during this trip. She recently met a German foreign exchange student i hosted. She became obsessed overnight basically. anyways, she's telling me all her grand plans to run away when she is in Germany. When asked of how she will manage to live there she said she would just use Ebay as her job. This seems pretty far fetched that this could even happen. She would do this, but aren't there ways that prevent people from doing this?

yeah just tell her that there are many foreign diseases going around there right now that can't be treated, and did you hear about smallpox coming back?

Planning a baby shower for sister and I need advice please....
Hi, I was wondering, if you promised to throw someone a baby shower (my sister in this instance) and you did so with the knowledge that it would be a small affair (something small enough that I could manage to cook for all the guests without worry and have all the decorations, not to mention the space to entertain in my not too big home), only to have it sprung on me this week that the guest list for my brother-in-law's family is twice that what I was told, would it be wrong to suggest two separate parties? With these new additions, the party will be over 40 people when I thought about 20-25 people would be the max. I can't fit all these people in my home, and no one else on my side has a home that would accomodate for such a large party, and I can't afford to hold it at a restaurant. The party is a few months away and no invitations have gone out, can I take the opportunity now while there's still a chance to suggest that we have 2 different parties? One for our side and friends that I throw, and one for his side and friends that his mother or sister-in-law throws? Our sides didn't even talk during the wedding, so I know it will be awkward, and I feel a bit put out to host and pay for party that will be dominated by his guests (who by the way, were very stingy in their wedding gifts despite the fact that they ate nearly all the food at the wedding). I can't not host the shower either because if his mother hosts it, it will be too far for our family to go to as they all live far away, yet closer to us. I don't know what to do, I want support my sister and her wishes, but I agreed to one party and she has totally blindsided me with a party doubled in size. Please give whatever advice you can, I'm freaking out. Thanks.

If you bring up the 2 party idea, bring it up to your sister ONLY. Ask her how she would feel about it. I don't think she would really care for 2 parties since one of them would consist of traveling. My only thoughts on this are to call your local community centers, a friend of mine had her baby shower at a community center and it was cheap to rent and they had full access to the kitchen. Get together with your family and between all of you, you could probably afford to do it easily. Or if it's in a couple of months, that would be what, September? Do you live somewhere that has nice weather? You could have it at a park. Just rent a couple of tables and some chairs. Even though you all didn't hit it off at the wedding, this could be another opportunity to get to know his family better. Who knows, (other than being stingy and stuffing their faces) they may actually be nice people. I mean, you are gonna be dealing with them from now on. Good luck and congrats to the mommy and aunt-to-be!

Why does my mum still bring me down?
My mum has brought me down my entire life. she will always pick out my faults rather than praise me. whether it be an outfit im wearing, how i played my game of netball, how i dealt with a certain situation basically i have always felt like i have been a disapointment. i am now 19years of age and i moved out of home over a year ago, but she still manages to find faults. in January i hosted a quiz night fundraiser, with a friend(we had been organising and planning for months)half the reason was to try and do something my mother would be proud of. on the night i saw how proud my friends mums were of us, how our friends were proud of us. and there was my mum.. arguing everytims i made a small mistake in reading a question/answer and picking every little fault.i ended up crying when i woke up the next morning cause of how hurt i was. i feel like i can never make her proud of me.so i guess my question is how can i stop her from making me feel this way? is it my fault/problem or hers? one lady actually came up to me on the night and said that it was a shame to see some people taking it so seriously as it was a charity event. i had to reply with "that was my mum" she looked shocked. by the way... definatly NOT emo... I like colour and i am generally happy with my life. please no more 'seek eligious' answers.

Have you spoken heart-to-heart with your Mum about this? Maybe she has no idea how much she is hurting you. If you have tried to talk, then all you can do is to distance yourself a bit from her and try to correct her when she does talk negatively about you. Just saying " Mum, I don't like it when you say that about me" will maybe stop her in her tracks. Sometimes parents have a way of talking to their kids over the years that they just don't realise the effect that it has on their kids. Bring it to her attention and see what happens. In the meantime, do not allow her to lower your self-esteem. You sound like a happy person otherwise and you have to just tell yourself that you do your best. Talk to others about this, perhaps some counselling or to another family member. What does your Dad say about this? Keep your chin up. I would say it is her problem so try not to make it yours. It is hard but spend time with people who are more positive.

Domain name panic - how do I get it?
A year ago, on March 16 '05, I asked a web designer colleague to register a domain name for me. He gifted it to me, he was managing it. He was using domains.yahoo.com to host it for free (I think). Things happened within a year, and I am no longer on speaking terms with this person. I am trying to register my site, but the whois inquiry shows it registered in his name, with expiry on Mar-16-2006. He FWD'd me a yahoo warning that the account will be finally closed. I know he's going to do nothing with it. Now I want to know: a. Will it ever be so that one day I lookup the name, and find mydesired.com "free?" So I can go ahead and get it? When will that day dawn? Why does it keep showing that the site's registered in his name? b. Will someone else eat up the website? Nobody will be interested in the domain, btw, unless they already know it. It's just myname.com. c. What should my strategy be? I do have plan B - i.e. an alternative name - but I really love this one. HELP! He will neither keep nor sell nor refresh the name, but simply let it be expired. I could ask him for it, except that we are not on talking terms, and I do not want to go through him to get my domain back. My main concern is to make sure I get the domain and that his neglect does not make it impossible somehow. I want to know when will his neglect result in the domain name being freed up, so I can take it back the same day? and whether it's possible that the domain will get locked up or something b/c he's taking no action? I have little idea abt domain registration, and I don't understand who grabs and parks stuff and how it's done.

Here is the story... your colleague has entered his personal data as the official registrar of the domain name during the registration process the last year if he used his credit card to pay, then you can't prove the domain name is yours. if he used your credit card to pay the fees, then you can claim that you own the domain (in case of a legal dispute) I assume that your colleague is not interested in renewing the registration the domain name expires at March 16, 2006 usually there is a duration of 1 month or so given as a final chance for the official registrar to renew the domain, after that the domain name becomes free for anyone to register it again now you have 2 options.... 1- to check the domain status every few days and register it once it becomes free 2- to BACKORDER the domain so that you get email alert once the domain becomes free backordering is not a guarantee that you will get it, because others might be backordering it as well you can do backordering through the link https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/Domain_Alert/landing.asp or the link https://www.snapnames.com personally I use GODADDY service to manage my domains if you want to avoid the risk of losing the name for a third person, you can contact your colleague and ask him to transfer domain ownership to you then you can renew it before it expires and you will be the new owner in whois database I hope this is enough for you to decide if you need more info please feel free to contact me through email, you can do that by clicking on my thumbnail image beside my answer ============= this is the end of the answer to your question ============= Actually, you have recently answered one of my questions about selling ideas for TV ads and I was trying to contact you for further discussion of the issue with you, if you don't mind; but I was unable to reach you by any means, for some reason your email link on your profile doesn't work

just what you wanted to know?
The secret daily life of the average BNPer 21st February 2007 A Hard- Hitting Expose involving Kippers, Russian-Style Bird Houses and a National Geographic Magazine! Read this raw and gruesome account if you can stand to know the truth! Rating: Triple XXX (because the birds that are spoken of in this account are not actually wearing clothes, but are wearing only feathers.) No animals were harmed in the making of this article. The secret daily life of the average BNPer One bonny Saturday afternoon: Fred: (Saunters up to Terrance as Terrance weeds his front garden) Terrance, I just wanted to tell you that my wife and I don't mind living in the same neighbourhood with a BNPer. We just wanted you to know that. For years now we have lived in the same neighbourhood as you, and I was just telling my wife, the other day, that I would wager that you aren't all that different from anyone else. Terrance: (Sighs inwardly, sits up, smiles patiently and puts down his weeding tools) Well, that's very good of you Fred. Fred: Yes, it is really, but I'm just that kind of a person. In order to prove to myself that you really are no different from anyone else in the neighbourhood, I have decided to follow you about for a few hours, just to get a feel for how you live your daily life. Now,Terrance, don't look so shocked and you don't have to thank me either. I don't mind a bit. It will do you a great deal of good for I shall be able to mention to the other neighbours just how good of a person you really are and I will be able to stem those nasty rumours going about the neighbourhood. Terrance: What nasty rumours? Fred: Oh, you know, the rumours that imply that because you are a BNPer you are a raving racist who shoots at the local bird-life. Terrance: (Looks bewildered) No, actually, I really had not heard that I am a raving racist who shoots at the local bird-life. Are you sure that you want to watch me as I go about my daily business? I'm really very normal and my routine might bore you a bit. Fred: Well, never you mind. You just go about your daily business and I shall watch. Go ahead. Proceed. Upwards and onwards Terrance! Just pretend that I'm not here. Terrance: Well, I've just finished weeding my garden and I was just about to go inside and prepare some kippers on toast, perhaps browse through my latest copy of the National Geographic magazine, and then I was going to call Mr. Jabi at the dry- cleaners and ask him if my suit is ready yet. Fred: (Follows Terrance from the garden into the kitchen area) So, this is a nice house that you have here. Tell me, is 'kippers' a code-word for some sort of secret political meeting that you are going to host here today? It's ok. You can tell me. Terrance: (Places some bread in the toaster and puts the kettle on to boil) No, actually, I just like to enjoy a nice plate of kippers on toast after I weed my garden. Fred: Right, right, right. So, do you have secret political meetings AFTER you eat the kippers on toast? Terrance: (Looking more and more shocked) No Fred, I usually listen to Bach and do a crossword puzzle or read the National Geographic magazine. Do you care for cross word puzzles? Fred: Oh, well, no I don't care for crosswords puzzles actually, but I suppose that you are really going to deal firmly with that Mr. Jabi at the drycleaners! Going to give him a good telling off then? Going to take out a bit of angst out on him with a good telling off, I suppose! Terrance: Why would I do that? Mr. Jabi has been doing my dry-cleaning for years and he happens to be a very nice fellow. Fred: Don't you hate him? Terrance: (Looks unhappily exasperated) No, I do not hate Mr. Jabi. I am against mass immigration, but I do not hate Mr. Jabi. Actually, Mr. Jabi enjoys a good dish of kippers on toast and he won a chess tournament last year. He's quite good at chess or so I think. Fred: (Winks) So, are you planning on smacking around Mr. Jabi, just a bit? You know, are you planning on roughing him up a bit, just to give the message? Terrance: (Looking horrified) Good God, no! Why on earth would you think that I was planning on slapping Mr. Jabi? What message? Fred, have you gone quite mad? Why would you think that I was planning on slapping a seventy year old man who eats kippers and does my dry-cleaning?! Fred: Well, you ARE against mass immigration. Why wouldn't you slap Mr. Jabi about? Isn't that what the BNP is all about? Terrance: I have heard that you are against abortion. Is that so? Fred: Yes, that is true. My wife and I are very much against abortion. Terrance: Well then, does that mean that you are planning on slapping a nurse? Fred: Of course not! Terrance: Well, I'm not planning on slapping Mr Jabi! Fred: (Looks disappointed, but then perks up.) What's this? Is it a wooden box in which you hide your secret political- meeting agenda-papers? Terrance: That's a bird feeder, in the shape of a small Russian-style house. I'm planning on putting a final coat of paint on it this week and then filling it with seeds and placing it out in my back- garden. Fred: Are you going to slap the birds about once you lure them over to your new birdhouse?! Terrance: (Sighs and arranges his kippers on some toast) Fred, I am not planning on slapping Mr. Jabi, nor am I luring birds towards my garden, in order to slap them! I have never felt like slapping anyone or anything! Fred: (With a suspicious look on his face) Never? NEVER? Terrance: Well, maybe just once, but it was just a fleeting urge and I did the right thing by managing to overcome the fleeting urge. Fred: Right, I knew it! And what were you doing at the time that this fleeting urge came over you? Terrance: During the minutes that preceded the fleeting urge to slap someone, I had just finished weeding in my garden and I was preparing to read my copy of National Geographic or do a crossword puzzle, but at the exact moment that the fleeting urge came over me, I was eating kippers and preparing to telephone Mr. Jabi! Fred: Aha! So, you did once have the urge to slap about Mr. Jabi! Terrance: Not at all. Fred: Well, if you didn't ever experience the urge to slap Mr. Jabi, then of which race was the person whom you did have the urge to slap? Terrance: I really don't know. I really couldn't say. Fred: That's odd. Shouldn't you be aware of the racial origin of the person whom you once had the urge to slap, even though you subsequently overcame the urge? Terrance: I shouldn't think so. Fred: I should think so! How can you claim to be a raving-racist, who slaps about garden-birds and people, if you don't even know the racial origin of the person whom you once wanted to slap? Terrance: I never did claim to be any of those things. I am simply a member of the British National Party, but as for the matter pertaining to the racial origin of the person whom I once had the urge to slap, well, perhaps I can clear the mystery up for you, but still the point is that I overcame the urge to slap someone. Fred: Well, go ahead then. Tell me. Of which racial or national background was the person whom you dearly would have enjoyed slapping? Terrance: (Smiling happily to himself as he pops a piece of kipper into his mouth) Hmm. It's hard to say. Tell me, Fred, are you English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish? readers, the question is in whats being read, judge it for yourself. i didnt write it i copied it from the british nation party website. yes we have a sense of humour, we dont hate. vistit www.bnp.org.uk and see what its all about. we have letters from all walks of life and print both sets of views, unlike the present criminal gang thats acts as a goverment.

that was interesting. did you write that yourself, or is it from something you read? amazing how many people are like fred out there. terrance has more patience then i do.
