Click 'File' and then click 'Site Manager' from the drop-down menu. From the window that appears, click 'New Site' to create a new FTP site or open an existing FTP site by double-clicking it. If creating a new FTP site, enter the host, port, logon type, and username and password if required, then click 'OK.' If you have a matching set of directories on the local and remote computer, you can enable synchronized browsing to navigate the local and remote computers simultaneously. To enable synchronized browsing, click the 'Advanced' tab on the Site Manager window, ensure that the local and remote directory addresses are the same, and click the 'Use synchronized browsing' check box.
Changing Directories
In FileZilla, your computer folders are displayed on the left, below the label 'Local site.' The remote computer to which you are connecting has its folders displayed on the right side of the window, under 'Remote site.' Use FileZilla's navigation on each side of the window to open the directories on the local and remote computers containing the files you want to sync.
Transferring Files
Select the file or files to transfer and drag them to the other side of the file list. FileZilla will queue the files in the list at the bottom of the window and then begin the transfer. If one or more files from the source folder have identical names to files in the destination folder, FileZilla displays the Target File Already Exists window for the first identically named file, and gives you several options for handling the file transfer.
Common File Synchronization Options
Choose the 'Overwrite' radio button to replace the file in the destination folder with the source file. Click 'Overwrite if source newer' to replace the file in the destination folder only if it is older than the source file. Select 'Overwrite if different size' to replace the file only if the source file is a different size. Choose 'Skip' to cancel copying this file to the destination folder. To take the same action for all files you're copying, click the 'Always use this action' and 'Apply to this queue only' check boxes. Click 'OK' to continue. If you didn't click 'Always use this action,' then the 'Target file already exists' window will be displayed for each duplicate file name.
Other File Synchronization Options
The 'Resume' option is rarely used; it copies the rest of a file to the destination folder when the full file was not uploaded before. 'Rename' copies the source file to the destination folder and gives it a new name. It does not change the file name of the source file. 'Overwrite if different size or source newer' overwrites the file if it meets either of those two conditions.

How to Find Construction Jobs to Bid onIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Sign up for the Blue Book's BB Bid program. The Blue Book is a free resource that is found in almost every construction office in North America. It lists contractors by trade and region. Visit the Blue Book website to get your company listed free of charge. As contractors begin to see your name in the Blue Book, they will send bid invitations your way. This is an especially useful way for out-of-state contractors to find local companies to perform work.
Complete the American Institute of Architect's (AIA) Subcontractor Qualification form No. A305. This form is considered a standard resource to help contractors and owners evaluate new subcontracting companies. You can find this form on the AIA website.
Visit contractors and ask about construction bidding opportunities. Provide them with a copy of your completed A305 to give them an indication of your company's abilities. Ask how you can be placed on their company bid list. Most contractors will send bid invitations to all contractors on the bid list automatically, so the more contractors that put you on their lists, the better.
Look online. Most contractors have websites, and often they will list jobs they are accepting bids for on their site. In these situations, they will often have plans and specifications listed as well. By sending your bid in on these jobs, you are getting your company name out, so the more bids you send, the better.
Check into state and federal jobs. Most municipal jobs are open to all bidders, and drawings can often be found on the organization's website. Check with your state to see what's available in your area. This is an especially good construction bidding opportunity for minority business owners, who often are in high demand for municipal jobs due to minority participation requirements.

How to Organize a Foosball TournamentIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Find a venue. If you're simply hosting a casual tournament for friends, a single table in your game room is sufficient. But if you're organizing a larger competition, consider a pub or arcade with plenty of foosball tables and seats for spectators.
Gather the equipment. Unless the venue has enough available, you'll need to rent or borrow regulation-sized foosball tables to accommodate most of the players, spare balls and replacement parts to repair tables that break during play.
Produce the prize money. Organize contributions from local sponsors, pubs or foosball equipment manufacturers if you want a large prize pool. For less formal tournaments, players can contribute 'entry fees' that will be divided among the winners.
Offer trophies or other prizes like gift cards to local restaurants for categories like 'coolest trick shot,' 'best stop' or 'least wins.' Award participation gifts such as commemorative t-shirts, hats or mugs.
Advertise for participants. Tell friends, post on foosball-related message boards or hand out flyers at local pubs, arcades, pool halls and recreation centers.
Establish rules. If you're planning a tournament with a considerable amount of prize money, stick to official regulations like those established by the United States Table Soccer Association. Read the basics to the players before the competition starts and have printed copies of the full rules available onsite in the event of a dispute. (See Resources)
Organize brackets if you've got a lot of participants. Set up pairings in different categories if the pool's talent level is diverse. Keep a white board or chalk board updated to let players know who they're up against next.
Provide snacks for spectators or for players to enjoy between matches. Consider an assortment of easy-to-eat finger foods to let players get back to the game quickly and offer plenty of napkins if you're serving fried treats.

Where Are Some Cool Places to Throw a Halloween Party?In Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Host your Halloween party at home for a cozy and familiar environment. Doing this will let you have full creative control on where your guests enjoy themselves and on how you decorate. Purchase black lights to replace your home's traditional lighting, or incorporate various colors of light throughout your home (such as orange lighting in your bathroom to go along with the theme of Halloween). Purchase a fog machine to give the added effect of a spooky atmosphere. Other decorations, such as fake cobwebs, statues and household decorations, are available at local Halloween store outlets or online (see Resources).
At a Haunted House
Renting a haunted house is a possibility, depending on your surrounding area and available houses. Many haunted houses are open for the public during the fall and around Halloween, so you may have to call many haunted houses to inquire about private rentals and parties. Renting a haunted house may also mean special restrictions or a specific time frame your guests can attend. Sign a rental agreement in advance that sets forth the terms of the rental. Most haunted houses are already pre-decorated, but you will more than likely be required to provide your own entertainment, food and beverages for your guests.
In a Field or Barn
If you live in a rural area or near a facility with a large field or barn, it may be possible to host your Halloween party in these locations. If the field or land is public property, find out from the appropriate local governmental authorities about any required permits or restrictions on using the land. You can also ask neighbors or the owners of an empty barn or field about hosting a Halloween party on their property, although you will be responsible for all of your party guests and their behavior.
At a Rented Venue
Renting a venue for a Halloween party is a perfect solution for those who live in larger cities or prefer an indoor event. Some bowling alleys (including cosmic bowling) allow rentals for private parties to host their own gatherings. You can also rent local banquet halls or even a time slot at your city's community center, depending on the community center's specific rules and pricing. Other venues to rent for the evening might include a concert hall or an entire 'laser' tag or paintball building, though these will cost significantly more in rental costs.

How to Install an FTP Server on an Apache Web Server in Windows XPIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Download the latest release of Apache server from the official site. The link to the Apache FTP service is below:
mina.apache.org/ftpserver/downloads.html
Install the download file by double-clicking the file. Follow the prompts that asks for a location to place the installation files. This can be any local directory on the server.
Start the service in Windows as a service. If you don't set Apache as a service, it does not start when the server is reboot. This means the Apache server does not server FTP pages until it's manually started. Click the Windows \'Start\' button and select \'Run.\' Type \'cmd\' into the text box and press the \'Enter\' key.
Type \'bin\service install\' into the command prompt. This starts the FTP service in Windows so host files are served to web browsers.

How to Open an Internet BusinessIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Choose what type of Internet business to start: Will you sell your own product or service? Or will you become a drop shipper or an affiliate marketer, selling other entrepreneur's products?
Decide what to name your Internet business, remembering to keep it simple and memorable. Your business name should also alert customers as to what you are offering them--'Database Building for You,' for example.
Determine what business licenses you will need to legally run your Internet business and apply for them. Your local government office will be able to tell you exactly which licenses, such as a zoning permit, you will need before you can open your business's virtual doors.
Buy Web hosting and your domain name, keeping in mind that your domain name should be the same as or as close to your business name as possible. Consider purchasing several extensions of your domain name--such as '.com,' '.net' and '.org'--to ensure that your competition can’t buy them out from under you.
Create a website for your Internet business. If you have the capital, you may want to hire a Web designer to design a website for your Internet business, or you may want to purchase a Web template and customize it yourself.
Prepare a business plan for your Internet business. You must have a road map of where you plan to take your business and how you plan to get there.
Market your Internet business. Fortunately, you have plenty of options for marketing your business for free online, including participating in article marketing, forum marketing, social networking, blog writing and submitting press releases to free press release websites.
Launch your Internet business. Consider offering a special discount on your product or service to celebrate your opening day and to attract more paying customers.

How to Organize a Neighborhood Garage SaleIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Gather your neighbors for a meeting. You may want to start with your block or street. If you're friendly and outgoing you may have already met and known some of them on first name basis. Drop an invitation in their mailboxes to come to your place at a given date and time to discuss having a block or neighborhood garage sale.
Make sure your invitation will already give some ideas on what you want to discuss with them. Remember, their time is also precious so you would not want to waste them as much as possible. Indicate on the invitation you want to organize a garage sale for the block or neighborhood and that if they are interested they can come to your meeting to discuss details and logistics.
During the meeting discuss things and tasks that are needed to be accomplished and assign each one.
Decide on a date. It is advisable to have a garage sale on a sunny day, usually springtime. People tend to want to be outside more on a warm or sunny day; chances are you will have more foot traffic when you do it on a sunny day. Another thing to consider is doing it on a weekend instead of a weekday since most people go to work on weekdays and are off on weekends. This will be something everyone will have to agree on.
Time frame. Consider the time frame in picking out the date for a neighborhood garage sale. If you will be putting out an advertisement, you may need time to submit it for publication. It is advisable to give at least a week's notice and then have another one made for the day itself for people who read papers before going to garage sales.
Placards and signs. Your neighborhood may want to hang signs and placards a few days before your scheduled garage sale. Remember to ask your local authority of any restrictions on putting up signs and placards on public areas. Some cities have strict ordinances, so be mindful of those. Also if you put them up, you should be responsible to take them down. So remember the areas where you placed them for you may be issued a ticket for some sort of vandalism if you leave your signs and placards for days after the garage sale had passed. All of these are tasks that can be tasked, make sure that it is assigned during the meeting.
Permit. Ask your local authority if you need a permit if the whole block or neighborhood will do a garage sale. If your area is known for high traffic, the influx of vehicles in your area may cause additional traffic and headaches to commuters. This is another task that can be assigned.
Once you have cleared permits and done your advertisements, it is now time to prepare for the garage sale. Make sure your neighbors who will participate are aware of the things they can sell at a garage sale. Pretty much anyone can sell any of their personal items with the exception of few ones like firearms and illegal items like pirated videos and CDs. Also, ensure that your neighborhood is aware that what they sell should be limited to personal items only and not to use the garage sale to sell other things for profit, otherwise advise them that sales taxes may need to be filed.
Advise the neighborhood to start marking their items with prices at least two nights before the scheduled garage sale. Tell them also to get their final set up ready by the crack of dawn. This way, you can start selling your items to the 'early birds.'
Advise your neighborhood to prepare a lot of extra cash on hand, preferably smaller bills and coins to use for change. Although most experienced garage sales hunters bring small dollar bills and plenty of cash with them, it would still be good to have enough on hand in case the buyers run out of small bills and they need to get them changed.
Task different individuals for traffic flow enforcement. Ensure that the cars are not double-parked or parked illegally in areas that are clearly marked as no parking zones. Have someone hold signs to have cars slow down or stopsigns by the cross walk.
Every family in each household can participate in selling their items. You can have a contest just for fun on who can sell their items faster or who can have more dollars in the end. Another way to get the family members involved is to setup a refreshment booth where drinks such as lemonade or bottled water and snacks such as homemade cookies can be sold. These booths can be manned by kids and adults alike. Kids can learn to value hard-earned money and teamwork at an early age if they are exposed to them early in life.
