Before and after the geeks come to install the wires and cable boxes that are a necesary part of your home theater installation, an eye for beauty requires that we should look at the options we have with wooden shelving and cabinetry to make the new complement of electronics fit into a cohesive and stunning home electronics environment.
Too many homeowners are stuck with shelving that does not fit the modern screen sizes, and after the drilling and wiring of the 22 year old kid from the big box store, we are left with black boxes of blinking lights that distract from the entertaining experience and making your den or living room look a bit like the set of star trek.
As an addition to the upgrade of your electronics, isn't it time to rework the wooden cabinetry and shelving to complete the home theater experience? Calling Noel at Alan's Crating, an Irish trained master carpenter is the move that seperates your television and movie watching environment, or your office environment, from the clutter of electronics that your neighbors are left with. Noel will rebuild, re-fabricate, move and rearange the shelving and cabinetry to the requirements of todays wide screen televisions and computer monitors and add doors and panelling to cover the wires and blinking lights left by the geek at the appliance store.
So whether it is crating for antiques or cabinetry befitting a master carpenter, call Noel at Alan's Crating today. You will receive old style skills and value for your modern electronics arrangements.

Requirements When selecting the operating system
To a LAN network, the organization needs to have information on certain topics, which may influence directly or indirectly in the successful implementation of the NOS the network. Some of these requirements are: professional staff, knowledge of costs of each NOS, hardware requirements and interoperability of systems installed with similar inside and outside the organization. Professionalization of staff When installing a local area network, one of the things that matter most to the organization, who will take over the management and maintenance of the network. Perhaps there is already a network and trained personnel to handle the current NOS, but it is the first time you install a LAN, it will upgrade the NOS, or will change the current system by a completely different is then required to invest in hiring new staff or train that is already in the company, as each NOS has its own degree of difficulty. We all know that Microsoft operating systems such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT, have the characteristic of being easy to use and learning. The Windows GUI is almost identical in all systems, which facilitates the adaptation of a person who has always worked on Windows and now must be networked.
Generally, a person who has used both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 for single-user tasks effectively, is able to manage with a bit of advice, one-to-peer network based on WFW or Windows 95. To manage a Windows NT network, you need a little more knowledge on what corresponds to networks, but the training is not as strong as in other systems. NetWare NOS is the most widely used, so most people involved with network management is aware of its operation. For someone who is just beginning, can be somewhat complicated to empathize with NetWare in the first instance, and must undergo training. NetWare version is installed on most medium and large businesses, universities and institutions of all kinds, is the version 3.x. The update to version 4.x is underway in most of them and should be taken into consideration that 4.x includes powerful new features in its operation, such as NDS, which can cause some headaches poorly trained staff on NetWare . It usually requires a network administrator full time. No doubt when they hear the word complexity in networks, immediately comes to mind of many professionals the UNIX system. This thought about that not everyone can use this system, there is some truth and a lot of myth.
Originally, UNIX was not created with simplicity in mind for the user operation, but the need to address several limitations that had other commercial operating systems. It is true that if you want to install a network based on the UNIX system, you must have personnel trained for such work, since they may present problems for those without prior knowledge, to venture with a network of this type. There are many enthusiastic challenges motivate them and work with UNIX can be, but when you have the right staff to manage this kind of network, the results can be surprising. After seeing these cases, the best thing for an organization that wants to reduce costs is to use the staff you already have, enabling NOS in the management of choice, but considering that it may take some time and some mistakes at the beginning , until you have enough experience. If you are looking for efficiency from the NOS is installed, then the hiring of experienced staff is the most viable alternative, except that usually these people apply for relatively high wages. NOS Costs When starting a project, the economic factor plays a key role in the decision to take, and the selection of a NOS is no exception. The cost varies between each NOS, starting from fairly high price to free distribution systems. The pay more for a NOS does not mean it will be more productive for the organization than a low cost, so we must seek that which meets the expectations of the company, trying, of course, that the payment is always the small as possible. Then it presents recent information on the costs of various NOS analyzed in this work.
Windows NT 4.0 (Microsoft) 5 users = $ 809 USD 10 users = $ 1.129 USD 50 users = $ 4.799 USD
NetWare 4.11 (Novell) 5 users = $ users = $ 1.095 $ 2.095 10 $ 50 = $ 4.995 USD users NetWare 5 ( Novell) 5 users = $ 1.195 USD 10 users = $ 2.190 USD 50 users = $ 5.320 USD
Linux Free or $ 49.95 USD (CD-ROM). Unrestricted licenses. Macintosh (Apple) Update the system 8.5, UnixWare $ 99 (Santa Cruz Operation, SCO) $ 69 USD per unit
LANtastic (Artisoft) 1 user = $ 119 USD 10 users = $ 499 USD X users = $ 999 USD
LAN Server ( IBM) 1st server = $ 795 USD Each additional license = $ 715 USD
Hardware Requirements
Each network operating system has different hardware requirements to run correctly, if they are not satisfied, the system may not operate or work at a level well lower than expected, causing serious problems in the network. It should then meet the requirements of each NOS to see if it satisfies the current team or need to invest in new hardware. Windows NT 4.0 - 33 MHz 486 processor or higher, Pentium or Pentium Pro, Intel and compatible systems, RISC processor compatible with Windows NT Server 4.0 for RISC-based systems. - 16 MB of memory. - Minimum 125 MB hard disk space Intel and compatible systems, 160 MB for RISC-based systems. - CD-ROM. - Graphics adapter VGA, SVGA or compatible with Windows NT Server 4.0. NetWare 4.11 server: - PC with 386 processor or higher. - 16 MB of RAM (more memory is required depending on number of users, which is loaded on the server, open application number and size of hard disks on the network). - A hard disk with enough free space for the size of the network. (NetWare 4.11 uses at least 55 MB of hard drive). - At least one network adapter. - Cable network. - A CD-ROM for installation. Workstations: - For each workstation must have a network adapter and a computer running the client operating system required. NetWare 5 Server: - PC with Pentium processor or higher. - 64 MB of RAM. - 1 GB hard disk. - At least one network adapter. - Cable network. - A CD-ROM for installation.Workstations: - For each workstation must have a network adapter and a computer running the client operating system required.

UnixWare - Supports PCI systems, I2O, EISA, ISA, MCA Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II and 80486DX. - Requires floppy 3.5 "CD-ROM. - Needs 500 MB to 1GB of hard disk space. - At least 32 MB of memory. 64 MB are recommended. - SuperVGA adapter and monitor with at least 800x600. Linux - Processor Intel 386 and later, SPARC, Alpha, PowerPC, etc. - At least 4 MB of memory. - 150 to 200 MB hard disk space. VINES - PC or SMP (Super-Minicomputer Program) based on Intel. - 16 MB of memory . adapter - Ethernet, Token Ring or FDDI. LANtastic for Windows 95/98 - 486 processor or higher. - 8 MB of RAM (16 MB recommended). - 12 MB hard disk space. For Windows 3.x - 386SX processor or higher. - 4 MB of RAM. - 10 MB hard disk space. For DOS - PC XT or higher. - 640 KB of RAM. - 7 MB of hard disk space. Windows 95 - PC with 486-25 MHz or higher. - At least 8 MB of memory. - 40 to 45 MB of hard disk space. - Display VGA or higher resolution. Interoperability is the ability of different computer systems, networks, operating systems and applications to work together and share information. In an organization, computer resources are often located in departments or separate working groups, often using various network topologies and communication protocols. At higher levels, these systems often use different operating systems and applications .
It is thus necessary to integrate these systems so that everyone in the organization to communicate and share information and resources. All systems of an organization must be integrated, whether DOS-based computers, Apple Macintosh, UNIX workstations, minicomputers , or large computer systems. The network should be seen as a platform of "plug and play ', which connects multiple systems. For this you must use operating systems, applications and hardware products that support multiple networking protocols; also create a network platform underlying communication standards that allow hardware and software work together.

Asphalt shingle roofs have an average lifespan of twenty to fourty years. Sometimes a shingle roof that has a little shade, escapes the hail storms and stays clean and free of algae and mold can last even more that 40 years. But eventually everybody will need some Snellville Roofing to repair or replace their asphalt shingle roof on their Georgia house and home.
Roofing shingles most commonly used are either fiberglass reinforced asphalt roofing shingles or organic mat asphalt shingles. Orgnaic mat shingles are a little heavier that fiberglass reinforced shingles, which means more heavy duty toting up a ladder to get them to your roof. But for Georgia roofs, cheaper and more durable under the beating sun, they are often a pretty good choice. In more northern climates their lack of flexibility in freezing weather can lead to cracks in the substrate that hurt the longevity of the roofing.
Whether using organic mat or fiberglass reinforced roofing shingles, Snellville Roofers will remove the existing roofing and felt, inspect the plywood or OSB roof structure for weakness and rot, apply a new felt layer and then professionally and expertly apply the roofing shingles to achieve a long lasting and durable roofing replacement for your home.
Note that the felt layer of roofing is actually a sticky and oilly fabric that forms a waterproof barrier for any moisture that might get past the shingles. Sometimes you will see a roof covered with roofing felt, it is almost waterproof by itself. Usually that is a garage or a barn that is covered by felt. Felt is less resistant to the sun, as it lacks the ceramic bead layer to insulate and reflect ultraviolet and infrared radiation that degrades petroleum roofing layers.

California Wildflowers The rainy season of 1997-1998 is the wettest on record, and it is a great spring for wildflowers. These are photos of the spring bloom on the Central Coast. The photos are spread across several pages. Eschscholzia californica, the California Poppy, blooms in early spring. Most are a bright orange, with flowers about 2 inches across. But poppies are quite variable, and there are strains in many colors, including white, red and yellow.
Lupines begin blooming in March and continue throughout the spring. Most lupines are blue, but other colors are represented too. There are white lupines, and the colorful Harlequin Lupine blooms in yellow and red. These flowers dominate our spring landscapes as much as do California Poppies. Lupines belong to the Leguminoseae or the Pea Family. Note that the seeds are enclosed in a pod. Lupines come in many sizes too. Bush Lupines are found on the Central Coast. Blue bush Lupines in Santa Maria bloom in March. Yellow bush Lupines in Nipomo wait until April. Owl's Clover or Orthocarpus belongs to the Figwort Family, the Scrophulariaceae. It's related to the Snapdragon. Like the Lupines, Owl's Clover often occurs in large drifts. It begins bloom in March and continues to May. The flowers are set in dense spikes, and the color is a reddish purple. Other species of Owl's Clover have flowers in white or yellow. The flowers have lips like the Snapdragon. Can you see that the flowers have 3 purple spots on the lower lip?
Best Shrubs for California This is an index of what I consider the very best shrubs for our landscapes, the ones I recommend when people ask me what they should plant. Of course, I would hate to see all landscapes using only these plants. You should include your own favorites in any planting scheme. I have chosen these plants based on two easy-care criteria. They must have no major pests, and they must have a slow or moderate rate of growth. Each plant in the list meets at least one of these requirements; most meet both. Rhaphiolepis indica India Hawthorne Long period of bloom, beginning in the spring. Prune after the first flowering and as needed to control size and shape. Nandina domestica Heavenly Bamboo Prune, if needed, by thinning and cutting back canes. Fertilize if plant becomes chlorotic. No pests. Callistemon viminalis 'Little John' Little John Bottlebrush
Callistemon 'Little John' is a slow growing (under 3 feet) shrub that needs pruning only one time a year. Foliage is a bluish gray. Long bloom period begins in early spring. Osmanthus heterophyllus Hollyleaf Osmanthus Can easily be kept at 3 to 5 feet. Does well in the shade. 'Variegata' has variegated, holly-like leaves. Buxus microphylla 'Japonica' Japanese Boxwood Infrequent pruning will maintain this plant as a low hedge. It also makes a fine 3 to 5 foot shrub. Myrsine africana African Boxwood As with Japanese Boxwood, trim as a low box hedge, or grow as a 3 to 5 foot high natural shrub. Watch for aphids if grown in the shade. Xylosma congestum Shiny Xylosma This plant grows rapidly into a large shrub or a small tree, but it can take any amount of pruning. Ligustrum japonicum 'Texanum' Waxleaf Privet Privet blooms in the spring and has black berries in the fall unless the plant is pruned. This is a favorite for hedges. Prune only once a year -- after flowering. Euonymous japonica Evergreen Euonymus Forms with gold variegation are excellent.
Does very well in Santa Maria and the Central Coast, but it's very suseptible to powdery mildew in areas with hot summers. The gold leaf varieties combine very well with Euryops pectinatus 'Viridis', the yellow bush daisy from South Africa. The combination looks especially nice during the gray days of winter. Rosmarinus officinalis Rosemary My favorite upright Rosemary is 'Tuscan Blue'. If you want a lower growing kind, choose 'Prostrata' or another groundcover form. These can be pruned as low shrubs or used as a groundcover or to cascade over a wall. All kinds attract bees. Blooms start in February. Cistus ladanifer Crimson-Spot Rockrose Choose this or 'Cistus purpurea' or Cistus 'Sunset' or any other favorite.
All require little care beyond pruning after the flowers peak. Crassula argentea Jade Plant Very easy and very common in Southern California and on the Central Coast. This plant deserves more attention. Don't plant just one; use it in groupings, and prune to show its sturdy structure. All you need are hand shears or even a knife from the kitchen. Carissa macrocarpa Natal Plum Dark green foliage with bright white, star-shaped flowers followed by edible red fruit in the fall. Plant has thorns; be sure that is appropriate for your needs. Loropetalum chinense Fringe Flower Low, mounding shrub for sun or shade. Leaves become red in cold weather. Covered with flowers from late February through spring.
Broadleaf Shrubs These shrubs form the backbone of most California landscapes. The index includes the most popular shrubs in California. Most will get by on limited water in the summer, though they prefer deep watering every two weeks at the coast or weekly inland. All shrubs are evergreen unless indicated otherwise. The xeriphytes index is also made up of broadleaf evergreen shrubs.
Rosaceae The Rose Family Chaenomeles japonica Flowering Quince Cotoneaster lacteus Parney's Cotoneaster Heteromeles arbutifolia Toyon or California Holly Photinia x fraseri Fraser's Photinia Prunus ilicifolia Hollyleaf Cherry Prunus lusitanica Portugal Laurel Prunus lyonii Catalina Cherry Pyracantha coccinea Firethorn Pyracantha fortunena 'Cherri Berri' Cherri Berri Pyracantha Rhaphiolepis indica India Hawthorne Rhapiolepis umbellata 'Minor' Dwarf Yedda Hawthorne Spirea x bumalda 'Anthony Waterer' Burmalda Spirea Spirea cantoniensis Double Bridal Wreath Spirea vanhouttei Vanhoutte Spirea Berberidaceae

Yes, you can find fall color in California. The Goldenrain tree or Koelreuteria paniculata shown at the top of the page has rusty red husks that last for many weeks in the fall. Many other trees and shrubs put on a great display with colorful leaves or fruit. Hawthorn or Crataegus comes in many species and is adapted to zones 8 and 9. It is a member of the pome tribe of the rose family. The fruits resemble tiny apples. Many plants are covered with red or black 'berries' now. Mow and Mulch
If you're lucky enough to have a good mulching mower, you'll appreciate its value this time of year. I use a Toro Commercial Recycler with a special mulching blade. The blade has sharpened fins that lift the clippings and shred them at the same time. These blades are available for many mowers. I can mow a lawn covered with sycamore aand liquidambar leaves, and the leaves virtually disappear. I may have to go over the lawn two times if the leaves are very thick, but it's worth it. I have no bags of leaves to tie up and send to the landfill. There's Still Time to Plant The fall planting season is coming to a close, and the rainiest months will soon be upon us. Finish up your fall planting now. Select landscape trees now while they are showing fall color. Choose Liquidambar, Chinese Pistache and Ginko biloba.
If you want colorful flowers this month, shop for sasanqua camellias, bushy plants with small but profuse flowers. Plant those tulip and hyacinth bulbs that you put in the refrigerator 6 to 8 weeks ago. Plant in drifts of a dozen or two bulbs with the same color flower for best effect. Add some superphosphate to the soil beneath the bulb as you plant. Plant wildflower seeds. Prepare the ground by cultivating and raking.
Scatter the seeds, rake to thinly cover and water them in. Plant native shrubs too - manzanita, toyon, ceanothus, coffeeberry. Buy chrysanthemums in all the fall colors now. Cut them down to a few inches from the ground when they finish flowering. They will begin to grow again next March. Mums will bloom in July. Let them bloom lightly; then shear them back for the main bloom in the fall. Harvest Figs Why not try fig jam? Cut up the figs and boil with some water, honey, lemon juice and peel. You can't beat fig trees. They are beautiful, easy to grow, and take any amount of pruning. Easily available are Black Mission and Brown Turkey, which do well all over the state. If you want a white flesh, choose Genoa at the coast and Kadota inland.
Fall Chores Keep on top of raking and cleanup until leaf fall is over. Be sure to clean up under fruit trees. Fallen leaves and dead fruit can harbor insect eggs and fungus spores over the winter. If your peach or nectarine had leaf curl this year, spray it with lime sulfur or fixed copper at full leaf fall. Use a copper spray that contains 50% fixed copper. Weaker sprays are ineffective. Water needs are low this month, but if rainfall is light, your flowers and vegetables and all new plantings will need watering. Open watering basins around plants if you have slow draining clay soil. Thin out evergreen trees so that the strong winds that come with our winter storms will blow through them more easily. Be sure to fertilize lawns at the end of November, before the coldest days of winter. Use a complete lawn fertilizer rather than a nitrogen-only product. This will give your lawn the best chance of staying green all winter. Of course, during very cold winters, lawns will not remain bright green. But our winters are short; we can look forward to green lawns again as early as February.
Winter begins in December. It's the darkest month of the year and a cold and rainy one too. Average figures tell us that December, January and February will each give us 20% of our rainfall. Temperatures below freezing are possible in most of California during these months. It's the dormant season, and there is much to do in California gardens. It Ain't Over 'til it's Over! You can still see fall color in our landscapes. Autumn doesn't officially end until the winter solstice on the 21st of the month. A few trees hold on to some of their leaves even into January. Select plants with 'berries' now - toyon, holly, cotoneaster, pyracantha, nandina, arbutus. Color can range from light orange to deep red. Buy now to get the color you prefer. Be sure to ask whether you need a male plant nearby as a pollenator.
The Weather Outside is Frightful! Remember that USDA plant zones are based on average winter low temperatures. If you have plants that are hardy in your zone but not in colder zones, you will need to give these plants some protection during our infrequent 'Alaska blaster' cold spells. Best frost protection is provided by moist, bare ground and by ground cover plants. Put potted plants in protected places near your house or under trees. Dig it! A few days after a good rain, we are apt to have clear skies and sunny days. The soil will be damp but not wet, and it will be easy to cultivate. This is a good time to turn the soil over with a spading fork. Dig in some organic amendment while you're at it. Don't worry about smoothing out the ground. Let the next rain do it for you.
If you don't want to cultivate, at least check to see that weeds aren't beginning to thrive. It's easy to weed now too. If you have problem areas where weeds grow every year after the rains, be sure to apply a pre-emergent herbicide, a weed preventer, and let the rains wash it in. Even evergreen plants are at their greatest dormancy during the winter months, making it a good time to transplant small trees, shrubs and perennials if they were planted in the wrong place. Be sure the soil is dry enough to dig without compacting it. Camellias Camellia japonica begins its bloom this month and continues into January and February. If you want to add one of these colorful winter bloomers to your garden, select them now while they are in bloom. For the largest and showiest flowers, disbud camellias by removing all but the largest bud in a cluster of two or three. It's a slow job but worth the effort. Lawns and Flowers All grasses grow slowly now and may need mowing only twice a month or less. Annual ryegrass will probably need to be mowed weekly.
Be sure not to mow lawns planted in clay soils until they have had plenty of time to dry out. Cool season lawns can be kept green over the winter by using nitrate fertilizers beginning this month. Winter fertilizers should contain nitrogen in the form of nitrate; other forms cannot be used by plants when the weather is cold. Plant pansies, Iceland poppies and other winter flowers from 4 inch containers. Euryops is a shrubby perennial that is covered with bright yellow flowers all winter. Caution! Warning! Danger! Well, at least be aware before you plant. Those cute little decorated Christmas trees you buy at the supermarket are Italian Stone Pines. They are fast growers, and they become huge trees, too big for most landscapes.

Red Fox Arctic Foxes Bat-Eared Fox Fennec Fox
The fox is a mystical creature that is held in high regard and admiration by many of the indigenous American cultures. Here you can learn more about our vulpine friends and hopefully gain a greater appreciation for them and their ecological place in the world. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the new face of Moraxion's Fox site.
When mankind first inherited the Earth, it was abound with greenery and living creatures. Man was supposed to live in harmony with nature and preserve the Earth for generations to come. However as civilizations grew and progressed, man soon forgot his debt to nature. He started to destroy beautiful natural habitats in his quest for wealth, power and progress.
Preservation of nature was the last thing on his mind. All this has set the scene for the environmental problems we face today Large scale fishing mining, hunting, logging, land clearing and industrialization have resulted in environmental disasters. Only now have we become conscious of the extent of destruction to our environment. 'Conservation', 'endangered species', 'recycling' and 'pollution' are now hotly debated topics. Too much fishing and consumption of marine life may cause the depletion of an important source of food. Uncontrolled mining could result in the depletion of fuels and minerals. A declining supply of food and fuels will affect human existence as these are essential needs in our lives.
Hunting and poaching endanger the existence of wildlife and may cause the extinction of rare animals. Presently, statistics show that forty to fifty species of animals perish and vanish from the face of the Earth each day. As the food chain is slowly broken, even more animals and plants will face extinction. Logging and industrialization are the main contributing factors to pollution. With the destruction of our rain forests - the "Earth's lungs" - the Earth is slowly losing its supply of oxygen. Each year, an area of rain forest the size of Switzerland disappears as trees are chopped down for wood and land is cleared for development. Factories built near rivers and streams often channel their waste into them, polluting the water.
Toxic fumes emitted from factories are released into the atmosphere. The resulting pollution of both our water and air are health hazard leading to contaminated drinking water and respiratory problems. These affect not just human beings but other living creatures as well. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) used in spray aerosols and refrigerators are damaging the ozone layer, a think blanket of ozone gas 25km above the Earth.
There is now a hole the size of the United States of America and global warming is a very real problem today. Mankind, now painfully aware of the environmental problems, has founded various organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace and the Nature Conservancy to save the Earth. Tougher laws with stiffer penalties to protect our environment have been made by concerned countries. Campaigns have been launched to make people aware of the importance of conserving the environment. Environmentally friendly items which are recyclable and biodegradable are now the trend. Everyone has to play his role. To save the Earth, and make it a better place for our children. Mankind has to think of the consequences of their actions. Is the Apocalypse approaching? Let us not wait to find out. Explore the Sanctuary
also known as Sunshine on ICQ :). I'm 44 years old and work as Office Manager for a H & R Block. I live in Northwestern Ontario in Canada. I'd like to take the time to thank you for visiting my Home Page. I am a fun loving person and love meeting new people. I love reading, baseball/softball, music, reading, and plan on doing some travelling in the very near future. I travelled to England here are few pics and really enjoyed my trip, it is a great place to visit. I have also been lucky in visiting North Carolina a nice place to visit. I did a lot of traveling in 2003. My daughters, my nephew and my dog Cubby went to visit my sisters in Alberta and British Columbia. Can you imagine all 5 of us in a Pontiac Firefly. It was sure packed but we enjoyed ourselves immensely. My nephew had never been in that area so it was something new for him as well as my girls and I had never gone past Alberta. We were all happy to have gone and hopefully we manage to go again soon.
Then in August, my girls and I drove to New Brunswick to visit friends and family. The weather was great and the sites were even better. We stay in Cassie Cape and visited the dunes and many other places. We returned home just in time for school. This was a great experience for us all. Hopefully we are able to do this again very soon. I have a new passion, my girls & I have started Karate it is Tsuruoka Karate.
My goal was to obtain my Black belt which I succeeded in doing in December 2004. My girls are both green belt. I am also taking online courses which I am working toward a new degree "Business Administration - Accounting". So I've been keeping busy with my girls, homework and Karate. Hopefully things will continue in this nature. I am also taking a course called "Small and Medium Size Business Counselling through APEC/IBIZ. I have to go to Montréal to take this course. I have one more time to go which is in May 2005. I'm looking forward to it. Now all I will have to do is work on my portfolio. Hopefully I will be able to get these done within the next year.
