How to Set Up a Ventrilo ServerIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Visit the Ventrilo website and click \'Download\' on the panel on the left.
Click one of the links under the 'Server Programs' heading. There are versions of Ventrilo for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Be sure to download the version designed for your operating system.
Read the legal text, then click \'I Agree.\' Save the file when the download window appears.
Return to the download page and download \'Ventrilo Client.\'
Run the setup program for Ventrilo Server. The Ventrilo Server Installation Wizard will take you through installation. Click \'Next\' to continue, \'Back\' to go back a step or \'Cancel\' to abandon the installation. Make sure to read each page, set the options you want and then click \'Finish\' at the end.
Run the setup program for Ventrilo Client. Follow the Ventrilo Client Installation Wizard, then click \'Finish\' at the end.
Click 'Edit INI file' in the 'VentSrv' Start Menu folder. The settings for your Ventrilo server are set in the file 'ventrilo_srv.ini.' Here is an overview of each line. When you have the settings the way you want, save, then close 'vents_srv.ini'.
[Server]: This is label for the file, do not alter it.
(blank space): For the sake of organization, just leave the blank space.
Name=Server 1: This sets the name of the server, which is 'Server 1' at the moment. Rename the server to whatever you like, but the name must follow 'Name='. The equal sign is important.
Phonetic=Server 1: Ventrilo has a voice synthesizer that will read the server name. If you do not want a creepy, robotic voice mispronouncing your server name, you can delete the Phonetic.
Auth=0: This setting determines how people log in to the server. At '0', anyone can connect. At '1' the person must have a password. At '2' only certain user names with a password can connect to the server.
Duplicates=1: Allows or forbids duplicate user names. '0' to make everyone choose different user names or '1' to allow multiple appearances of the same user name.
AdminPassword=: This is where you set the password to access administrator rights. You should set a password to limit access.
Password=: You set the password users will need to connect.
SendBuffer=0: Sets the size of the TCP outbound buffers. '0' defaults to 131,072 bytes. Leave this setting as is.
RecvBuffer=0: Sets the size of the TCP inbound buffers, also something you should leave alone.
Diag=0: This setting toggles diagnostics for developers, another hands-off setting.
LogonTimeout=5: Specifies how many seconds a client has to log in to the server before the user is disconnected. Once logged in, the user is fine.
CloseStd=1: This setting deals with running the server as a background service and is not used for typical server use. '0' does not close handles while '1' will close handles. Leave this setting at '1.'
TimeStamp=1: Enables or disables times stamps in console messages. If you are interested in knowing exactly when messages occurred, set this to '1.'
PingRate=10: Sets how often the server pings the client. Useful for addressing problems with a client. The number represents seconds, so it is 10 seconds at default.
ExtraBuffer=0: Gives additional buffer space to outbound client data streams. '0' sets the default to 128,000 bytes. Do not touch this option or you will risk making problems. The default allowance is plenty.
ChanWidth=0: Sets the number of possible sub-channels that can be created. '0' means no limit.
ChanDepth=0: Sets the maximum number of nested sub-channels. Nested sub-channels are sub-channels that retain attributes of the main channel from which they were created. '0' sets the maximum at eight.
ChanClients=0: Limits the number of clients in a channel. '0' sets no limit.
DisableQuit=0: Enables or disables someone with administrator rights from remotely instructing the server to exit. This feature is allowed by default.
VoiceCodec=0: Sets which codecs are used by clients. '0' means that the server pulls from a set list of possible codecs that can be viewed in the console with the command 'ventrilo_srv -?'. This is yet another setting you should not alter.
VoiceFormat=1: Ties into VoiceCodec, so you should also just let it be.
SilentLobby=0: Allows or forbids voice in the lobby.
AutoKick=0: This setting determines how long, in seconds, that a client can remain connected to the server. At the default setting of '0', there is no limit.
Return to the Start Menu folder for Ventrilo Server and run Ventrilo Server. A console window will appear and list the options you set in the 'ventrilo_srv.ini' file. Your server is now running.
Run Ventrilo Client to try out your new server. Set your user name, then fill out the connection editor. The connection editor, accessed by clicking the arrow next to the server field, will ask for the server name, IP address, port number, password and default channel. Leave the 'Port number' and 'Default channel' fields alone for now and fill out the rest. The password is whatever you set in the 'Password=' setting in the 'ventrilo_srv.ini' file.
Select your server then click \'Connect.\' The server console window will note your connection. Your Ventrilo server is now up and running.

How to Write a Fashion Show ScriptIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Fashion show script writing begins with solid research and careful thought. Spend time with each of the garments to find out what makes them special. Investigate what they are made of, what is fashionable about the cut, what its function is and how it is meant to be worn. Learn whether it belongs to a particular genre and what is new and different about it. Identify the designer for each garment and dig up the story behind the inspiration for it.
Developing a Vocabulary
If you don't already have a large and sparkling fashion vocabulary, start reading fashion magazines. Pay particular attention to how outfits are described and the storytelling methods used to sell an outfit. Read clothing catalogs and outfit descriptions. Make notes about compelling and inspiring language. Peruse fashion sites that provide lists of words to use for clothing.
Writing the Descriptions
Don't approach the writing as an elementary school descriptive writing exercise. Tell stories to make your writing shine. The National Opinion writer Julia Robson writes, 'Although the writing at its best might look simple, it isn't. A combination of speaking from the heart and punchy, one-liners can take hours, days even, to get right.' Start with the obvious when describing the garment and then include important details about what makes it special -- what its story is. Introduce the designer and the model. Devote time to editing and polishing it. Read it aloud. Read it to a friend. Take out anything that is repetitious or is too hard to say. Pare it down to the bare necessities, while still making the text sparkle. Write to any word counts or time limits that you have for the fashion show.
Putting It All Together
Start the script with an introduction that talks about the show's purpose -- whether it is a fundraiser, highlighting a particular brand or following a specific theme. Welcome the audience. Organize outfits into
runs
and put the descriptions in the proper order. Double-check with organizers to ensure the script matches the order of model appearance. Some fashion shows will have entertainment or guest speakers between runs, mark such elements in your script. At the end of the show, include the emcee's closing speech along with any thank yous to models, designers or sponsors.
Formatting the Script
Find out how the emcee wants the script structured -- whether she can read it from a hand-held tablet or from hard copy. Put the name of the outfit in bold or all caps with the name of the designer and model immediately after it. Leave a space and then include the description you wrote. You may choose to put key facts in bold for easier reading. Break up your descriptions into short paragraphs so they are easy to read. Read the script aloud to ensure it flows and follows the time sequences. Adjust as necessary.

How to Get Around FTP Error: 226In Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Create subfolders for the files and then transfer them. If you are transferring a lot of files (for example, more than 2,000), you may get the 226 error. This is one work-around.
Utilize STFP, instead of FTP, to transfer your files. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) does not truncate your number of files per folder, as is the case with FTP.
Post your situation to an online forum. There is a virtually unlimited amount of help out there in the form of fellow computer users who may know how to deal more directly with your specific issue. See an example of one online forum in Resources.

Ideas for RefreshmentsIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Sub sandwiches are relatively inexpensive to purchase from your local mom and pop or national sub shop chain. Order multiple foot-long sub sandwiches in a variety of types. Then, slice the subs into 2 to 3 inch pieces, place on a platter and serve as refreshments. So you don't have to stand in line, order the subs earlier in the day and arrange a pick-up time so that they are fresh. Also, when ordering, ask the sub shop to hold off on mayonnaise, mustard, oil and vinegar and sauces of any kind. Instead, provide those items in small serving bowls next to the sandwiches. People can then add those condiments if they desire. Also, you might consider writing out little cards in front of each platter to describe what is on each sub.
Sundae Bar
If you are hosting an event where a lot of kids are attending, consider offering a sundae bar as a refreshment. Purchase basic flavors of ice cream such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Also purchase toppings such as whipped cream, hot fudge, caramel and sprinkles. About 20 minutes before the refreshments are to be served, take out the ice cream so it begins to soften slightly. Set out an ice cream scoop for each kind of ice cream. Also, heat the caramel sauce and hot fudge in small sauce pans and place them out in bowls as people begin to line up for refreshments. You may need to heat multiple batches of the hot fudge and caramel sauce depending on how many people are attending. Set out the whipped cream and sprinkles and invite people to make their own sundae. You can also purchase other toppings such as candy bars, crushed cookies and nuts.
Fruit and Vegetables
If you are having an event for the health conscious, then you might consider setting out fruits and vegetables for your guests to enjoy. Put together a vegetable platter by purchasing cherry tomatoes, celery, baby carrots, cucumber, raw broccoli and raw cauliflower. For dipping sauces, purchase light ranch, light blue cheese and light balsamic vinaigrette. Wash and pat dry the vegetables. Slice the cucumbers and celery to bite-size pieces and separate the broccoli and cauliflower. Arrange all on a platter and serve with the dressings for dipping. For the fruit refreshments, you can choose to set out items that can be eaten whole such as apples, peaches, and oranges, or make a simple fruit salad by combining pieces of melon, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple. As a topping for the fruit salad, you can set out yogurt or whipped cream.
Cheese Plate
A cheese plate is very simple to put together and usually popular. Purchase several different kinds of cheese. They can be mild such as a light cheddar, or pungent, such as a bold bleu cheese. Plan to purchase 2 to 3 oz. of cheese per person if this is the only refreshment. However, that number can be reduced if your event is serving other food. About 15 minutes before serving, remove the cheese from the packaging and place on a platter. Place a knife out for each type of cheese so they do not mix. Finally in a basket, place a paper or cloth napkin and layer a bunch of crackers on top. The crackers can be of an assorted variety. Place some tongs in the basket that people can use to grab the crackers.

Ideas for Hosting a Scavenger Hunt at WorkIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
For a fun, ongoing scavenger hunt that people can do all day, have an ABC scavenger hunt. If you work in an office this works well because you do not have to go outside the office to do it. Everyone simply finds things that start with the letters A through Z. For example, a person might find an apple, a box, a copy machine, and so on until a person reaches something that begins with Z.
Staff Information
Create a list of information about your employees like who has been there the longest, who is the youngest, and who was recently in the local newspaper. This helps everyone get to know each other a little better and highlights positive things about each person. Do this type of scavenger hunt at the beginning of the year or after a group of people have been hired to help coworkers learn about each other.
Out and About
If you work somewhere that is in a neighborhood or a city, take a few hours and let people go in teams and find things on a scavenger hunt list. They must take pictures with each thing. Some examples are a dog, bus stop bench, thrift shop, and a fast food place. This is a fun way to break up the day and let people get to know each other a bit better.
Riddles
Create riddles and split the group into teams so they can work together trying to figure out what each riddle means. Have each riddle lead to another one until all of the clues are solved. Have a prize at the end like a free lunch for the winning team, or a lunch for everyone, but dessert for the winners.

SCP vs. FTP SpeedIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Comparing SCP and FTP is a bit uneven, because SCP has been designed to work within the same network, and FTP is an Internet protocol designed for use on remote servers. FTP also tends to be used for moving multiple files; while you can use wildcards to transfer multiple files or copy entire directories in SCP, that's not the most common use for it. All in all, SCP and FTP are about evenly matched in speed when compared on the same network and with the same file; but your mileage may vary depending on the size of the files you're transferring and the way your network is configured. Your use of command flags may change files as well; Chris Dillon, software developer and writer of the tech blog Squarism uses '-c arcfour' to speed up the SCP transfer in his testing.
Security
An SCP transfer is an individual transfer -- you use 'scp' in a terminal to copy your files or directory to the other computer, without any frills or other options. It's a one-time movement, as opposed to FTP. With FTP you log in to an FTP session and can not only copy files from your computer, but can also manage files on the remote computer. This includes the ability to rename, delete, move, and modify files from the remote computer. SCP is a secure transfer; it uses secure shell to encrypt both your data and credentials. FTP does not offer protection against anyone who may be trying to view your network credentials.
Use
SCP is a Unix command designed to be used from the terminal. FTP is more flexible in that you can use it either in a terminal or using a graphic program such as WinSCP for Filezilla. You can also use FTP in a terminal, though this isn't common among casual Internet users. Should you choose to use the terminal, you'll need to look up FTP commands. For the most part they're very similar to basic commands – for instance, to transfer a file from your computer to the remote location you would use 'put test.file.'
Alternatives
The major benefit to SCP is the security; the benefit to FTP is the control over your destination. If neither quite meets your needs, a potential solution is SFTP, which was built using both FTP and SSH — secure shell — to create a protocol that's secure and allows you to control your destination area. In terms of speed, you're not going to see any major difference between FTP and SFTP; if anything, SFTP is going to be slower due to the need to secure your transfer. SFTP is also going to be slower than SCP. SFTP can be used in the terminal or in software designed for the task, the same as FTP.

Comparing SCP and FTP is a bit uneven, because SCP has been designed to work within the same network, and FTP is an Internet protocol designed for use on remote servers. FTP also tends to be used for moving multiple files; while you can use wildcards to transfer multiple files or copy entire directories in SCP, that's not the most common use for it. All in all, SCP and FTP are about evenly matched in speed when compared on the same network and with the same file; but your mileage may vary depending on the size of the files you're transferring and the way your network is configured. Your use of command flags may change files as well; Chris Dillon, software developer and writer of the tech blog Squarism uses '-c arcfour' to speed up the SCP transfer in his testing.
