How to Access the FileZilla ServerIn Feburary 2016 30,

In Feburary 2016 30,
Open your FTP client.
Enter the IP address and login details into your FTP client. The method varies between FTP client, but all will offer some kind of site manager or quick connect feature. As an example, FileZilla Client offers a 'Quickconnect' bar at the top of the window, where you enter the IP address, username and password to easily connect to the server. You can also click 'Site Manager' and enter the details there so they are saved for future use.
Click the newly created site and select 'Connect' to connect to the FileZilla server. As an example, FileZilla requires that you only click the top 'Quickconnect' button once the IP and login details are entered. Alternatively, Hold the 'Ctrl' key and press 'S' to open the Site Manager. Click the site and then click 'Connect' to connect to the FileZilla Server.

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.

How to Throw a Karaoke PartyIn Feburary 2016 22,

In Feburary 2016 22,
The most important part of karaoke night is the music. Many mobile DJ businesses offer karaoke services and can be hired to run your event. For a truly professional set-up with the biggest catalog of songs, this may be your best option. Home karaoke systems are available for purchase or rent, but you also have to buy karaoke music. Select a system that is loud enough for your room. While a DJ will come prepared with song lists, if you do it yourself, you need to print your own. Once you decide which option is right for you, set a date and send out invitations.
Setting the Stage
Consider adding thematic elements to your karaoke night. Decorate in a traditional Japanese theme, deck your living room out like a bar-room for a more domestic approach, or combine the two into a swanky Japanese lounge. Reserve a large area for you or a DJ to set up the equipment, with seating facing where the singer will be performing. Consider lighting choices. Ideally, the room is dim, with spotlights or room lighting highlighting the performance area.
Food and Drink
If you decide on a Japanese theme, consider a sushi buffet. Pair with Japanese beers and saki shots. If you're going for more of a bar-room atmosphere, a large selection of pub-food appetizers such as chicken wings, nachos and sliders may be more appropriate, with beer and wine for drinks. If you're not serving adult beverages, serve a festive punch. For ease, serve buffet style so when guests aren't on stage, they can help themselves to snacks and drinks.
Hosting Duties and Games
As with any party, the host will be busy greeting guests, restocking food and drink, and picking up throughout the evening. At a karaoke party, the host usually hosts the show, with aid of the DJ if you hired one. A fun twist on the theme you can do at home, which you don't get at a karaoke party, is to incorporate games and prizes into the night. Gift cards to music retailers make for great prizes. Allow guests to challenge one another on which songs to sing. Award a prize to the biggest crowd pleasers. Consider a prize for whomever dances the most throughout the night.

How to Insert a Time Stamp in PHP MySQLIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Create a new field in your database. Open the 'phpMyAdmin' utility for your MySQL databases. Select the database of your choice from the left-hand menu. Select the table in which you wish to place the new time stamp field and click on the 'Structure' action item. Hit the 'Go' button next to the 'Add One New Field' selection.
Set the attributes of the new field. Under the 'Field' input box enter your new field's name. Name the field 'Timestamp.' Select the 'Type' drop-down bar and tag the 'Timestamp' options. This defines your new field as a 'Time Stamp.' Click on the 'Default' drop-down bar. If desired, select the 'Current_Timestamp' option. If selected, this option automatically creates a new time stamp whenever a new record is entered into your database. Now, click the 'Attributes' drop-down box. Select the 'On Update Current_Timestamp' menu item. If this option is selected, the time stamp field will update every time a change is made to your database record.
Save the changes. Select the 'Save' option at the bottom right-hand corner of the window. The changes to your database structure are now saved. From this point on, the time stamp field automatically populates each time a new record is entered.
Using PHP
Capture the current time using the PHP date function and assign it to a PHP variable. The PHP date function takes the current time and formats it according to a set of values that you enter. Consider this example:$current_time = date ('Y-m-d H:i:s');In this line of code, it calls the date function and enters the values which format the output into the format of year, month, day, hour, minute and second or '2012-12-21 06:26:36.' This is the exact time stamp format used by MySQL. In this example, the date is assigned to the current-time variable.
Insert the time stamp into the MySQL time stamp field of the database table of your choice. Use 'PHP's mysql_query' function to complete this step. Here is the example.$query = 'UPDATE
yourDatabaseTable
SET
timestamp
= '$current_time' WHERE
yourPrimaryKey
='$primary_key_variable' ';mysql_query($query) or die('The new time was not inserted');
Upload the PHP file to your server.

How to Host a Large Party in a Small HomeIn Feburary 2016 18,

In Feburary 2016 18,
Remove bulky furniture and clutter from all the rooms of your house and put them into the garage, basement, storage closet or laundry room. Keep your living room and all walking areas of your home clear and clutter free.
Remove books from your bookshelves and set up the bar on the freed shelves.
Designate one spare bedroom as the official coatroom for the party. As guests arrive, make sure the first thing they do is drop off their bulky jackets, coats and bags in that room.
On the day of the party, adjust the room temperature. If you’re using the air conditioner, turn it on before guests arrive so that your house feels a little cold. If you are using the heater, make sure the temperature is a little lower than it normally is. Once guests arrive, the temperature will warm rapidly.
Serve dinner buffet style. Set up the food on the dining room table, along kitchen counters and on larger cabinets and shelves in other areas of the house. Serve a menu that is easy for people to eat whether they are standing or balancing their plates on their laps.
Be sure to cook in advance so that you have time to clean and clear the kitchen before guests arrive. This will prevent traffic congestion.

In Feburary 2016 12,

Enter your FTP user account login information in the login window and click 'Log on.' The window should now display all the folders and files in the main folder of the FTP site you have accessed.
Right-click within the blank white area (not on a file or folder) and hover over 'New' in the pop-up. Select 'Folder' from the fly-out.
Title your folder whatever you deem necessary or have been instructed to title it. Your job is now complete and you are ready to add files to your folder.
