			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BOSTON&#8211;The Red Sox are World Champions. Yes, it&#8217;s true. It haD been 86 years in the making and now the waiting is over. The Red Sox are champions of the world. And funny thing &#8230; after making history in a drag-em-out, nail-biting, seat-of-your-pants, seven-game battle royal with the Yankees, the World Series was a breeze. In fact, Boston never trailed in its four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Red Sox scored in the first inning of every game and, with the exception of Game 1, never looked back. &#8220;This is for anyone who ever played for the Red Sox, anyone who ever rooted for the Red Sox, anyone who has ever been to Fenway Park. This is bigger than the 25 players in this clubhouse,&#8221; 30-year-old general manager Theo Epstein told the media after the final victory. &#8220;This is for all of Red Sox Nation past and present.&#8221;</p>
<p>For fans who attended any of the four World Series games, their tickets remain as valuable today as they did on game day. Boston&#8217;s Fenway Park hosted Games 1 &#038; 2 and tickets were scanned upon entry. Thus, all Fenway Park tickets are full (or untorn) and fetching $100 to $300 in online auctions. &#8220;Red Sox fans kept their tickets. There really is no supply,&#8221; said Dean Macchi, president of ThatsMyTicket.com, whose Ticket Frame product displays game tickets. &#8220;Cardinals fans have been more open to letting their tickets go. So there are a number of Game 3 and Game 4 Busch Stadium tickets available. But those tickets were torn as fans entered the ballpark.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Red Sox celebration kicked off on the 18th anniversary of the team&#8217;s Game 7 loss in the 1986 World Series. And by beating the Cardinals, Boston avenged its 1946 and 1967 World Series heartaches. After all the franchise has endured since its last championship, which came in 1918, it&#8217;s no wonder more than 3 million citizens of Red Sox Nation filled the streets of Boston for the victory parade.</p>
<p>On the field, the 100th World Series was a showcase for Red Sox pitching. After a Game 1 slugfest, Games 2, 3, and 4 belonged to Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, and Derek Lowe. The trio combined to throw 20 innings without allowing an earned run. Keith Foulke closed out all four games and Manny Ramirez was named MVP. Yes, it&#8217;s true; the 2004 Boston Red Sox are World Champions. &#8220;Someone said this is the biggest thing to happen in New England since the Revolution,&#8221; owner John Henry told reporters. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know about that but I know there&#8217;s an overwhelming sense of joy and relief.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you see sunglasses advertised as polarized sunglasses you may not realize what this means. You probably think that ordinary sunglasses are just as good, so why bother paying the extra cost to have polarised lenses in sunglasses. The fact is that polarized sunglasses are better for your eyes and do help you to have clearer vision when you are out in the sun.</p>
<p>If you spend any amount of time outdoors in direct sunlight, then you can really benefit from polarized sunglasses. Those who are involved in sports, such as golf, surfing, biking and even snow sports, rely on the protection that polarised sun glasses provides them from UV rays. You always hear about wearing lots of sunscreen to protect your skin, but there is very little said about wearing polarized lenses in sunglasses to protect your eyes.</p>
<p>Polarized sunglasses utilize special technology that helps to neutralize the glare you get when the sun reflects off flat surfaces. While this might involve scientific terms, the bottom line is that when you wear polarised sunglasses, you no longer have to squint when you look into direct sunlight. The polarized lenses in the sunglasses neutralize the horizontal rays with vertical polarizers making it possible for you to see clearly.</p>
<p>Although most of the designers of sunglasses advertise their products geared towards certain groups of people, such as those looking for fishing or baseball sunglasses, anyone can wear polarized sunglasses and reap their benefits. Getting the ultimate in protection from UV rays and still maintaining true color when you look at objects is the goal behind the designer sunglasses containing polarised lenses.</p>
<p>Check out the designs of all the major lines of sunglasses. You will find that almost all of them have polarized sunglasses. The polarised sunglasses on the market come in all different colors of lenses and in very fashionable designs. Oakley, Hobie, Arnette, Costs del Mar - all of these famous companies produce sun glasses with polarised lenses.</p>
<p>When you plan a day at the beach, along with your sunscreen and towels, don&#8217;t forget to pack your polarized sunglasses. You do need to protect your vision, and wearing polarised sunglasses is the best way to go.</p>
<p>Polarized sunglasses ARE a big deal, but so many people don&#8217;t know why.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Batting teams use batting cages to sharpen batting skills. As with all sports equipment, it is important to assess your needs and budget before determining the best batting cage equipment for you and your team.</p>
<p>Batting cage equipment can be purchased through many sporting goods stores and suppliers. In addition, batting cage equipment can be ordered online and, in some cases, delivered as soon as the next business day. It can be advantageous to keep an extra supply of netting and frame pieces on hand in the event that parts become damaged.</p>
<p>Batting cages consist or two primary features - the net and the frame. All pieces can be purchased separately so that repair can be done without having to replace the whole cage. When ordering replacement materials, you should take note of the size needed, as there is a variety of sizes available for both nets and frames.</p>
<p>Netting can be purchased by the precut panel or piece. Primary types of material for netting are nylon, HDPE, Kevlar, and waterproof polymer. Because a batting cage is only as strong as its net, the choice of netting is important when deciding which product will suit your needs.</p>
<p>Batting cage frames can be purchased as separate pieces of gauged steel or galvanized steel tubing and cut to fit the prescribed size or purchases in a pre-measured kit. Frames are made to withstand weather and rust and come in a range of lengths and diameters. When purchasing a batting cage kit, make sure that all of the necessary connecting hardware will be included.</p>
<p>There are many options in choosing a batting cage kit. Certain materials in the netting or coating on the frame may have to be ordered online, depending on your location.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term &#8216;Kung Fu&#8217; does not relate to any specific form of martial art, but rather translates as &#8217;skill&#8217; or &#8216;ability&#8217;. Scholars believe that the use of Kung Fu to describe the Chinese martial form originated in Hong Kong and Kwangtung province. There are records of the Jesuit priest, Pere Amiot, writing of the &#8216;peculiar exercises&#8217; practised by the Taoist priests of his region which he called &#8216;Cong Fou&#8217;.</p>
<p>need a kung fu training machine to practise your attacks and defenses on? <a href="http://www.martialarm.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.martialarm.com</a></p>
<p>Wu Shu is traditionally the term widely used to describe the traditional Chinese martial arts, though other descriptions such as Kuo-shu, Kuo-chi, Chien-shu and Tao-fa have also been used from time to time. (Wu Shu is the term currently used for Chinese martial arts by the People&#8217;s Republic of China).</p>
<p>Exactly when Kung Fu first sprouted is unknown, with historians stating that Chinese martial forms most likely predate recorded history. Since the dawn of time there have been battles between man and animal, warring tribes, etc. during which conflicts combative techniques were executed and accumulated and passed down from generation to generation.</p>
<p>What is particular about the Chinese martial forms is that many schools or styles were created by imitating the fighting techniques of animals such as monkeys, lions, tigers, snakes, bears, etc. The adaptation of animal techniques stems from a belief that in order to survive in their harsh natural environment, all animals (even birds and insects) were naturally endowed with skills for fighting.</p>
<p>Hence techniques were born from the tiger&#8217;s pounce, the eagle&#8217;s sharp claws and the elusiveness and unpredictability of the monkey. Still, it is difficult to attach a precise date to the true birth of Kung Fu. Some traditional historians date it as far back as the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC). Others place it in the period of the Contending States (475 - 221 BC) and the Yellow Emperor, Huang Ti. Indeed, it would appear that modern Kung Fu has adapted and evolved from the warring experiences of China&#8217;s past, with distinct traces of Mongolian, Tibetan, Indian and other cultural ideologies exhibited in many styles. If there is one common reference point in tracing Kung Fu&#8217;s history, it is the Shaolin Temple and the journey of Buddhism from India to China.</p>
<p>Buddhism reached China during the period of the Eastern Han Ming Emperor (58 - 76 AD) and soon flourished. It is estimated that by 500 AD there were more than 10,000 Buddhist temples in China and many emperors became devout Buddhists. In 495 AD the Shaolin Temple was constructed by the order of Emperor Wei Xiao Wen (471 - 500 AD). The Temple was built to house the teachings of a Buddhist monk named Batuo, who came to China for Buddhist teaching in 464 AD. As such Batuo can be considered the first Shaolin Temple monk, though there is no record of how or what (471 - 500 AD). The Temple was built to house the teachings of a Buddhist monk named Batuo, who came to China for Buddhist teaching in 464 AD. As such Batuo can be considered the first Shaolin Temple monk, though there is no record of how or what Batuo passed down by way of religious Qigong practice, just as there is no record of how or when he died.</p>
<p>The most influential person in the study of Kung Fu&#8217;s history through the Shaolin Temple is an Indian monk named Da Mo (or Ta Mo). Da Mo, also known as Bodhidarma, had been a small prince of a Southern Indian tribe. He followed the Mahayana school of Buddhism and was revered as a bodhisattva - and enlightened being who had renounced nirvana so as to save others. The legends of Da Mo in Chinese mythology are elaborate, to say the least. One legend has Da Mo sitting in a cave where he stared at the wall for nine years in meditation. After accidentally falling asleep, he became so angered with himself that he tore off his eyelids and threw them on the ground. Tea shrubs grew from the ground beneath the discarded eyelids and monks have used tea ever since to deter sleep.</p>
<p>Dao Mo was invited to China by the Emperor Liang Wu. He arrived in Canton in 527 AD but when the emperor disliked his preaching. Da Mo withdrew to the Shaolin Temple. Upon arriving at the Temple, Da Mo found many of the monks to be sick and weak. He pondered this problem for nine years (his nine year seclusion) and when he emerged wrote two classics: Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) and Xi Sui Jin (Marrow/Brain Washing Classic). The classics taught the priests how to build their Qi to an abundant level and use to it improve their health and change their physicality to one of super strength. When this training was combined with martial forms, the priests found a marked improvement in the strength and power of their martial techniques.</p>
<p>It is believed that Da Mo may have authored the series of 18 exercises contained in a manuscript, the I-Chin-Ching, outlining the Shaolin method of Chinese boxing. The method that emerged from the Shaolin Temple, which is representative of the northern Chinese styles in general, was called wai-jya (wai-chia) or external family of Chinese boxing. Shaolin strove the increase speed, strength and elasticity. It was vigorous and calisthenic and became the basis from which Karate in Okinawa and the Korean martial arts were derived. The Xi Sui Jin was hard to learn and as such was passed down secretly only to a few disciples in every generation. Sadly Da Mo passed away in the Shaolin Temple in 536 AD but what he had started would live on for centuries.</p>
<p>Very quickly the Shaolin Monks would become revered for their fighting prowess. During the period between the Sui dynasty and the Tang dynasty, in the 4th year of Tang Gao Zu Wu De (621 AD), Qin King Li Shi-Ming had a momentous war against Zheng King Wang Chi-Chong. With Qin King in trouble, 13 Shaolin monks came to his assistance against Zheng. When Li Shi-Ming later became the first emperor of the Tang dynasty (618 - 907 AD) he rewarded the Shaolin Temple with approximately 600 acres of land. He also granted the Temple the right to train its own soldiers.</p>
<p>Such were the riches of the Shaolin Temple that martial arts training became a necessity to protect its wealth from bandits. The responsibility of defending the Temple was given to the soldier monks known as Seng Bing. For three hundred years the Shaolin Temple enjoyed a golden period in which it legally owned its own martial arts training organisation. The Temple also remained open to outside martial influences, absorbing what it could and incorporating these techniques and training methods into its own system. During this period one of the most famous Shaolin monks was Jueyuan. He travelled the country learning martial arts techniques and working with other famous martial artists. When in Lan Zhou he met the famed martial artist, Li Sou, who in turn introduced him to, Bai Yu-Feng and his son. Later all four men returned to the Shaolin Temple and studied together. After ten years, Li Sou left the Temple but Bai Yu-Feng and his son stayed on and became monks. Bai Yu-Feng&#8217;s name changed to Qiu Yue Chan Shi and, according to the book of Shaolin Temple record, it was he who developed the then 18 existing Buddha Hands techniques into 173 techniques. He also compiled the existing techniques contained with Shaolin and wrote the book The Essence of the Five Fist, which discussed the methods and applications of the Five Fist (Animal) Patterns. This is proof that animal patterns had already existed for some time in the Shaolin Temple.</p>
<p>The Shaolin Temple would also be responsible for spreading the Chinese martial arts to Japan. In the year 1312 AD the monk Da Zhi came to the Shaolin Temple from Japan. He studied the Shaolin martial arts (barehands and staff) for 13 years and returned to Japan to spread Shaolin Gongfu to Japanese martial arts society. In 1335 AD a Buddhist monk named Shao Yuan ventured to Shaolin from Japan. During his stay he mastered Gongfu and returned to Japan in 1347 AD.</p>
<p>The golden era of the Shaolin Temple ended when Manchuria took over China and became the Qing dynasty. In order to prevent the Han race (pre-Manchurian) Chinese from rebelling against the government, martial arts training was outlawed between 1644 and 1911 AD. In order to preserve their teachings, the Shaolin techniques were passed onto layman society. Martial arts training in the Temple was carried out in secrecy and the Shaolin monk soldier decreased in number from thousands to a couple of hundred. In 1911 the Qing dynasty fell in a revolution led by Dr Sun Yat-Sen. The value of Chinese martial arts was re-evaluated and for the first time the secrets of Chinese martial arts were permitted to be openly taught to the public.</p>
<p>During the Chinese civil war, Chiang Kai-Shek tried to unify they country. The battle spilled into the Shaolin Temple in 1928 and the Temple was burned for the last time by Warlord Shi You-San&#8217;s soldiers. The fire lasted forty days, destroying all major buildings and priceless books and records. In order to preserve the Chinese martial arts, President Chiang Kai-Shek ordered the establishment of the Nanking Central Guoshu Institute at Nanking in 1928. The traditional name Wushu was renamed Zhong Guo Wushu or simple Guoshu. For the first time in Chinese history, by rule of the government, all the major martial arts powers in China came together to share their knowledge. Unfortunately, at the commencement of World War II, all training discontinued. China was taken over by Communists following the Second World War. All religions and all Shaolin training was prohibited under Communist rule. Wushu training was established at the National Athletics Institute. However this was not pure Wu Shu, but rather performance based with major portions of martial training and technique application eradicated by the government to discourage possible unification of martial artists against the government. It was not until the 1980s (unfortunately after several of the traditional masters had died) that the Chinese government realised the value of traditional martial arts training and so encouraged it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fresh Caught Fish Cooking Preparation</p>
<p>To maintain the delicate flavor of a newly caught freshwater or saltwater fish, this must be handled properly to avoid spoilage. Not to mention preserving the fish with pleasing odor. There are ways to properly prepare and maintain the quality just after the catch of the fish into a sumptuous fishmeal. Check out the tips below:</p>
<p>1) As soon as the fish lands avoid any contact with hard surfaces to prevent bruising. It should be washed immediately by hosing or bucket rinsing in order to remove the slime and possible bacteria that cause spoilage. Never use water from close proximity marinas, municipal or industrial discharges. To make sure, always use potable water instead.</p>
<p>2) Simply chill the fish to prevent deterioration in less than an hour. With a little advance planning, proper icing can be accomplished with the use of some relatively cheap equipment. Fish should be stored in coolers and should be well chilled. It should be 3&#8243; deep, thus, covering a pound of fish with pound of ice. Use chlorinated water per quart of water for the final rinsing.</p>
<p>3) Clean the fish as soon as possible. Their tissues are sterile but not their scales, which contains many types of bacteria. When cleaning fish, avoid rough treatment because wounds in the flesh can allow the spread of bacteria. Gutting the fish does not have to be necessarily long. It is wise to cut the belly, as it leaves no blood or viscera in the body. Make sure not to soak cleaned fish fillets in a prolonged freshwater as this could reduce the meat texture and flavor.</p>
<p>4) The eating quality and nutritional value of fish can be maintained up to 5 days if properly cleaned. Washing of the hands before touching the fish is also important. No matter what fish and the cooking technique used, one golden rule is to be followed always. Whether it is whole or not, cook exactly 10 minutes for every inch measured. 15 minutes should be allotted to fish enclosed in foil or sauce baked. Double the time for frozen fish.</p>
<p>Allow extra time if fish will be baked while packed in an aluminum foil and allow extra time for the penetration of the heat. That should be an additional 5 minutes for fresh fish and 10 for frozen. In thawing frozen fish, slowly thaw in the fridge for 24 hours or let the wrapped fish be run under cold water not at room temperature. Do not thaw a fish that&#8217;s frozen before cooking as it may make it mushy and dry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An ETO (Engineer-to-Order) company manufactures highly engineered boilers and capital energy equipment used by utility companies. According to Stephen Carson, Executive Vice-President with Visibility Corporation, &#8220;The business process for collaborating internally and with suppliers prior to implementing VendorServer needed improvement. A seamless process to work with engineering, buyers and suppliers to shrink the lengthy and cumbersome supply chain cycle was imperative. The need to communicate with design, engineering, sales and suppliers to quickly turn opportunities into proposals, and proposals into orders and executable plans, was critical. The opportunity for miscommunication throughout the entire supply chain was significant with countless departments and external suppliers involved in the process and extremely complex purchasing activities.&#8221;</p>
<p>The firm faced key challenges including:</p>
<p>*	Reduce cycle times for proposals and products</p>
<p>*	Uncoordinated and lengthy purchasing process</p>
<p>*	Improve collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and suppliers</p>
<p>*	Lower cost of purchased goods</p>
<p>*	Tighten integration with the enterprise application</p>
<p>The lengthy and involved designing, buying and building process is further complicated by time based milestones and the proper timing of materials that can extend beyond a year. The previous business process had many manual and disconnected automated purchasing systems limiting the ability to effectively manage the supply chain process. There were no provisions for supplier interaction beyond telephone and fax methods.</p>
<p>Without adopting a more strategic approach, the client was faced with higher costs, less accuracy, long lead times, higher carrying costs and lower customer satisfaction. The client created a 360-degree view of requirements for taking its supply chain and supplier collaboration to a new level to enhance business operations in an area with substantial payback.</p>
<p>Visibility Corporation (<a href="http://www.visibility.com)" rel="nofollow">www.visibility.com)</a> is a leading developer and supplier of business software solutions designed for the unique needs of project-based, engineer-to-order and to-order manufacturers. Visibility&#8217;s Enterprise Application solutions help midsize manufacturers of complex products operate their businesses effectively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        If you have Microsoft Great Plains and support it for your company then you need to know <b>typical</b> set of <b>problems</b> you have in Great Plains and their <b>fixes</b> to have Great Plains run smoothly in your company.  We&#8217;ll describe techniques applicable to Microsoft SQL Server as well as to legacy platforms: Pervasive SQL.2000 (btrieve) and ctree.  The last Ctree/Pervasive version is 7.5.  New Microsoft Great Plains 8.0 is for SQL Server/MSDE.   You should also know that Great Plains as well as Small Business Manager is written in proprietary Great Plains Software language/environment: Great Plains Dexterity, which has Dynamics.exe and Dynamics.dic files as the core of the Great Plains workstation.
<p>How to delete the user?  This is the first problem you encounter - when user shuts down the computer - Great Plains doesn&#8217;t have the command to log off the user and when user tries to login the next day - she  gets error message that user is already logged on.  The fix:
<ul>
<p>
<li>Microsoft SQL Server - open SQL Query Analyzer,  switch to DYNAMICS database and run the following script: DELETE ACTIVITY WHERE USERID=&#8217;KATHY&#8217;.
<p>
<li>Pervasive SQL/Ctree - if you have more than one user registered you can delete the user from GP: System->User Activity->Delete User.  If you like to work on the file level - ask all the users to log off.  On the server, where you have your Great Plains files structure - DYNAMICS is the root, in SYSTEM folder delete ACTIVITY.* files
</ul>
<p>
<p>How to unlock the batch?  This happens when user posts the batch and has her computer crashed (via surfing the <b>internet</b> - smile - or things like this)
<ul>
<p>
<li>General tip - Great Plains recommends to logoff and then login back with the same user id.  Then Great Plains will prompt the user to recover posting batch.  Unfortunately it doesn&#8217;t work in 70% of the cases
<p>
<li>MS SQL Server - the batch record is stored in Batch Header table: SY00500 in the company database.  The fields to clear are: BCHSTTUS and MKDTOPST.  In some cases you have to delete the record from SY00800 from DYNAMICS db.
<p>
<li>Pervasive/ctree - you have to install ODBC driver for Pervasive or Ctree and hook the tables: SY00500, SY00800 with Microsoft Access - use linked tables technique
</ul>
<p>
<p>Now we would like to stress you the need to move away from Pervasive SQL 2000/Ctree platforms - you are in trouble - Microsoft Business Solutions cuts technical support for Microsoft Great Plains 7.5 and prior on these platforms.  This means not only the support, but also tax updates (especially Payroll and Federal Magnetic Media).
<p>What is migration from Ctree/Pervasive.SQL 2000 to MS SQL/MSDE?  MBS has migration tool.  You need first to install Great Plains on SQL Server with exactly the same account/segments structure and then install migration tool (it is Dexterity chunk) on your ctree/Pervasive workstation - then, when you integrate the chunk - you will map it to target SQL-based Great Plains Company, select all system and company tables, click the button and it will move all your tables one-by-one.  In the case when your Great Plains ctree/Pervasive has third parties - you need to check if the vendor has migration tool - otherwise you have to do manual move, use SQL Linked server to your legacy data
<p>Do I need consultant?  It is probably good idea to have consultant to do the upgrade.  We strongly recommend you to use consultant in the following cases
<ul>
<p>
<li>You have Dexterity customization
<p>
<li>You are doing migration from Pervasive/Ctree to Microsoft SQL Server/MSDE, especially when you have third-parties without migration tools
<p>
<li>You have a lot or ReportWriter Modified Great Plains Reports
<p>
<li>You have old version of Great Plains: Dynamics or eEnteroprise 6.0 or prior - in this case you can not appeal to Microsoft Technical Support - it is discontinued
<p>
<li>Your Great Plains has more than 20 users and you have to have upgrade done over the weekend - if it fails - you have business problems
<p>
<li>You don&#8217;t have support - in this case you have to select your Microsoft Business Solutions Partner and pay for the annual support/enhancement plan - you will get new registration key and will be ready for the upgrade
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Change is scary, isn&#8217;t it? After all, things might not be perfect<br />right now, but at least we&#8217;re here and getting through it. Change<br />might make it worse instead of better!</p>
<p>But without change, there is no growth, no improvement, and in<br />scientific circles no life. Life is change, and if we&#8217;re to fully<br />appreciate the gift of life, we must adapt to change.</p>
<p>OK, on to something a little less important than life - Internet<br />Marketing! If you can&#8217;t handle change, you better get out now!</p>
<p>New developments happen in days and weeks on the Internet, as<br />opposed to months and years in regular marketing. If you don&#8217;t <br />stay up-to-date, you can&#8217;t compete. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m not suggesting you jump on every new bandwagon that comes along.<br />Some of them are pretty bad! But if something looks good to you;<br />if something looks like a real improvement, then you have to <br />embrace it. Use it, improve your knowledge, then get ready for<br />something new to come along!</p>
<p>Another fear of change involves the fear of how it reflects upon<br />you. For example, I changed some very basic facts about a couple<br />of my websites. It was something I felt I had to do, but like I<br />said, the changes were fundamental. So naturally, I start thinking<br />things like, &#8220;Will visitors realize what I&#8217;ve done?&#8221; &#8220;Will they<br />understand that the change was something I feel deeply about?&#8221;<br />&#8220;Will they think I&#8217;m insane?&#8221; (See how my mind works?)</p>
<p>But to follow my own advice - I had to be ready to change, in spite<br />of the natural fears. </p>
<p>So embrace change, learn from it, accept it. If you&#8217;re in Internet<br />Marketing, it&#8217;s a part of your life!
