				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The MySQL command-line interface gives interactive feedback, and has a few very nice features.<br />
Using the command-line tool can save a lot of time, especially for things that you won&#8217;t do very often.<br />
It&#8217;s also a fantastic environment to test new queries for correctness.<br />
Learning the command-line interface is not required, but it is often extremely helpful, and is highly recommended.</p>
<p>Download Putty very good light weight application for ssl into your site trhu the Command Line</p>
<p><a title="Putty Command Line Application" href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html" target="_blank">http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html</a></p>
<h3>What is PuTTY?</h3>
<p>PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols.</p>
<p>These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network.<br />
PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed,<br />
rather than the end at which it runs.</p>
<p>In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine.<br />
PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine,<br />
and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else. formore info refer Link Below</p>
<p><a title="What is Putty" href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-what" target="_blank">http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-what</a></p>
<p>Open Putty and Enter you login details such as User Name  and Password<br />
If you Dont Know these then you Shouldnt Connect</p>
<p>What login name / password should I use?</p>
<p>This is not a question you should be asking Me!!.</p>
<p>PuTTY is a communications tool, for making connections to other computers.<br />
I don&#8217;t administer any computers that you&#8217;re going to be able to use, Just like the folk  who make web browsers aren&#8217;t responsible for most of the content you can view in them.<br />
I WILLnot help with questions of this sort.</p>
<p>If you know the name of the computer you want to connect to, but don&#8217;t know what login name or password to use,  you should talk to whoever administers that computer.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was Reading A great <a href="http://www.loganthompson.me/affiliate-traffic/google-slaps-affiliate-landing-pages/comment-page/#comment-5803">article</a> the Other Day about the Great Google Slap LATE 2009</p>
<p><strong>Quote  [</strong> Like many affiliates in the past few weeks, I got the<a href="http://billbailey.co.nz"> Google slap</a> on a few of my top running PPC campaigns which felt like getting my faced kicked repeatedly from Chuck Norris wearing a football cleat. Being a bit upset over losing a big part of my income I had to step back and look at things differently than I have lately  <strong>]</strong></p>
<p>I would call mine Depression.</p>
<p>Still NOT over it I lost a $300 to 500 $ a day campaign (its still not back for me) Google have filtered my whole site in fact I had 2 sites that Just Dropped off the world,10 articles per site, Privacy disclosure, contact, Incoming Blog posts out going links to top site s in the niche, SEO Bomb proof still get Q S 1?</p>
<p>I have lost 2 accounts with Google and I don&#8217;t want to lose another.</p>
<p>I could Go On I have lots to say and Have learn t heaps In short this is the main Problem Its not the content although Google expect to see certain things, its where your site is pointing to (think about it if 1000 affiliates are pointing to the same weight loss Sales Page) Google Basically Is saying that its spamming their network and in the Long run they are right.</p>
<p>So you need to Take a name and email and work them from a list or go article marketing which can stack up $$$ for you and it takes time, There are no easy solutions at the Moment.</p>
<p>I think I have a slap proof site Now but its harder to get the sales as you have to be 1-2 Page&#8217;s further from the sales page.</p>
<p>My split testing says that the Hop Rate (amount of people that actually make it thru to the sales page on the vendor site ) drops from 50% down to 25% and so do you sales which is the difference between profit and loss.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Give in Its gotten easier in terms of competition as there is less its a matter of finding a way back in I am running a campaign on Google at the moment and getting 300 + ad clicks a day at and average cost of 6 US cents a click.</p>
<p>So there is traffic on the Google network for your site Just make sure you have a testing account or two Google also don&#8217;t seem to track credit cards So don&#8217;t be paranoid about setting multiple accounts up off the the one credit Card.</p>
<p>Oh by the Way Google has the Best Buying traffic End of story</p>
<p>So Don&#8217;t Give Up</p>
<p>Regards Bill Bailey</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: left;">Books Not a Pretty Picture</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>DR Cullen</strong> -  there is &#8220;quite significant deterioration&#8221; in the books compared with the Budget in May.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A <a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24405321-20142,00.html">weak Economy</a> and a higher then expected take up on the likes of Kiwi saver and the governments commitment to provide 20 hours a week of free early child-hood education, While treaty of wiatangi will bring even more anticipated expenditure &#8220;The debt track is not a pretty picture, I think one would say,&#8221; Doctor Cullen said.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now the Books are deteriorating Doctor Cullen appears to be uncomfortable with knowing that his government has conceded that the debt target of under 20% will be exceeded indicating tight times for any ruling political party in power over the next three year term</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">.</p>
<div id="attachment_56" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.billbailey.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fig6_large.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-56" title="Current Accounts" alt="New Zealands Current Accounts" src="http://www.billbailey.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fig6_large-300x150.jpg" width="300" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New Zealands Current Accounts</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Balance of Payments statements set out a country&#8217;s transactions with the rest of the world. The current account balance is the sum of the balances of trade in goods and services, current transfers, and investment income. More simply, the current account measures what a country saves minus what it spends or invests. The graph shows that since 1990, New Zealand has been a net borrower. Thus, the current account deficit has reflected the amounts of other countries&#8217; savings that New Zealand has had to borrow, in order to finance spending. The last time that New Zealand was a net saver &#8211; that is, had a current account surplus &#8211; was 1973.<br />
Data from 1970 is available in Excel by selecting the <a href="http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/keygraphs/graphdata.xls">download data</a></p>
<p><span id="more-57"></span></p>
<p>[ad#post-ad]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The red ink in the Current account books is going to spark  further debate as to wether National can still offer its promised taxs cuts under this new deteriorating global economy, Labour has been accusing National of preparing to loan monies to pay for tax cuts, But the way things have panned out will probably mean labour also will have to borrow monies to effect their own tax cuts promised ( <a title="Labour Broken Promises" href="http://www.billbailey.co.nz/2008/09/23/vote-national-not-labour/" target="_self">Labours growing list of broken promises</a> ) Although in typical cullenl style he has to try to take pressure from him self by passing comments such as &#8216;National is doing its best to sound as if it were fully prepered for this down turn in global economy.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a title="John Key" href="http://www.johnkey.co.nz/"><strong>Leader John Key </strong></a>said yesterday it had been factored into the National parties long tem strategy ( it has to be said that this was not that sudden and could be seen on the horizon for years) Asked if he was worried with about extending the current account deficiet by another 2 % he said no as this was part of a long term growth stratergy</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;New Zealand Has a growth problem, We need to address that and one of the ways out of that growth problem is to have an ifrastructure which will allow us to grow&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Stevie Wonder Cancels the New Plymouth Bowl Of Brooklands</strong></h2>
<p>Stevie Wonder has canceled the Bowl of Brooklands as date with United States presidential election celebrations proves to be bigger draw .</p>
<p>The US music legend was booked to play the Beautiful location of the Bowl of Brooklands on November  1st , and has stated that the presidential elections as the main reason for canceling  half of the 4 planned shows the other being Auckland on the 31st</p>
<p>The<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2008"> united State presidential election</a> culminates on November 4th</p>
<div id="attachment_52" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.billbailey.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/52stevie.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52" title="Stevie Wonder with Obama" alt="Stevie Wonder with Obama" src="http://www.billbailey.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/52stevie-300x213.jpg" width="300" height="213" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Stevie Wonder with Obama</p></div>
<p><span id="more-54"></span><br />
[ad#post-ad]<br />
The New Plymouth Music Fesitval was was suddenly announced for November  1st, last week and promptly canceled on the Wednesday night only hours before tickets went on sale to the General public.</p>
<p>How ever, that does not do anything for the thousands of early bird pre ticket sales buyers who will at this stage be feeling gutted by the turn around from the music legends itinerary, although a 100% refund is being offered.</p>
<p>Promoter Gary Sharpe-young is equally disappointed stating that Stevie wonder and the Bowl where as good as it could get! .</p>
<p><a title="New Plymouth Accommodation" href="http://www.newplymouthmotel.co.nz" target="_self">New Plymouth Accommodation</a> providers are also affected by the News of Stevie Canceling with <a title="New Plymouth motels" href="http://www.newplymouthmotel.co.nz/" target="_self">New Plymouth motels</a> being the most heavily effected with booking Cancellations .</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This <a title="Wikipedia Watch " href="http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/">site</a> examines the phenomenon of Wikipedia. We are interested in them because they have a massive, unearned influence on what passes for reliable information. Search engines rank their pages near the top. While Wikipedia itself does not run ads, they are the most-scraped site on the web. Scrapers need content — any content will do — in order to carry ads from Google and other advertisers. This entire effect is turning Wikipedia into a generator of spam. It is primarily Google&#8217;s fault, since Wikipedia might find it difficult to address the issue of scraping even if they wanted to. Google doesn&#8217;t care<strong>;</strong> their ad money comes right off the top. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another problem is that most of the administrators at Wikipedia prefer to exercise their police functions anonymously. The process itself is open, but the identities of the administrators are usually cloaked behind a username and a Gmail address. (Gmail does not show an originating IP address in the email headers, which means that you cannot geolocate the originator, or even know whether one administrator is really a different person than another administrator.) If an admin has a political or personal agenda, he can do a fair amount of damage with the special editing tools available to him. The victim may not even find out that this is happening until it&#8217;s too late. From Wikipedia, the material is spread like a virus by search engines and other scrapers, and the damage is amplified by orders of magnitude. There is no recourse for the victim, and no one can be held accountable. Once it&#8217;s all over the web, no one has the power to put it back into the bottle.</span></p>

<a title="Plagiarism by Wikipedia editors" href="http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/psamples.html"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large; color: #c00000;">Plagiarism by Wikipedia editors</span></strong></span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">by Daniel Brandt</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are the results of the first study of plagiarism in Wikipedia that has ever been undertaken. I started with a list of 16,750 Wikipedia articles. They came from a partial list of Wikipedia biographies of persons born before 1890. There was no reason for this, other than the fact that the list was available and the size was manageable.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
The next task was to download the XML version of each Wikipedia article and try to extract between one and five clean sentences. They have to be clean (i.e., &#8220;de-wikified&#8221;) or there is no hope of using them in a search engine. That&#8217;s because the entire sentence is searched inside of quotation marks. Each search looks like this: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #c00000;">-wikipedia -wiki &#8220;this is a complete sentence from an article&#8221;</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When the sentence is inside of quotation marks, any little variation inside the sentence can mean the difference between a hit or no-hit. The cleaner the sentence, the better. The reason for the exclusion terms in front is that I don&#8217;t want mirrors of Wikipedia. I&#8217;m looking for plagiarism that goes the other direction — in other words, for articles that existed prior to the Wikipedia article. <a title="Wikipedia Watch " href="http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/psamples.html">Wikipedia Watch</a></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first"> I cant see why this is not being Introduced In New Zealand but we just love letting a few ruin it for everyone else couple this with a soft Government which is hell bent on looking out for everyone who doesn&#8217;t follow the system or the group</p>
<p class="first">Take Note Parliment</p>
<p class="first">If you&#8217;re drunk in Ireland, this is for you: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/7616715.stm"> On-the-spot fines for being drunk</a>.</p>
<p>New regulations allow gardaí to issue a fixed-penalty notice to anyone who has committed a public order offence.<br />
The offender then has the option of either facing prosecution through the courts or of paying a one-off fixed fine.</p>
<p>This is 100 euro for being drunk in public or 140 euro for being drunk and disorderly. <!-- E SF --></p>
<p>Once issued with a fine, offenders have up to 28 days to pay.<br />
<span id="more-14"></span><br />
[ad#post-ad]</p>
<p>Justice Minister Dermot Ahern said that the policy would hit offenders &#8220;in the pocket &#8211; where it will really hurt&#8221;.</p>
<p>The legislation follows a series of measures introduced last month to tackle public disorder in which gardaí were given the power to confiscate alcohol if public disorder was feared.</p>
<p align="left">The aim of the new measures is to save Garda time by removing the necessity for public order offenders to be prosecuted in court.</p>
<p>The regulations, which Mr Ahern claims will allow gardaí to make more efficient and effective use of their resources, also enable them to direct a person to leave an area peacefully if they have become a nuisance.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>WAMP5 is an installer for Windows</h2>
<p>It installs a complete Server (WAMP) solution on your Windows computer.</p>
<p><strong>WAMP Stands  for :</strong></p>
<p><strong>Windows &#8211; Apache &#8211; MySQL- PHP5</strong></p>
<p>WAMP5 automatically configures them to work together, wherever you install them on your local drive.<br />
These softwares are installed :</p>
<p>Apache 1.3.x.<br />
PHP 5.x.x<br />
MySQL 4.x.x<br />
PHPmyadmin<br />
SQLitemanager<br />
Wampserver service manager<br />
WAMP5 comes with a service manager as an icon tray. This manager will allow you to fully control your server and local projects.</p>
<p>WAMP5 is not designed for production but as a development environment. With WAMP5, you will be able to create you scripts locally on your computer, test them and then upload them on your production server.</p>
<p>The Wamp team  have configured Apache and MySQL servers with default configuration files to have the most standard platform. You can then adapt it to your personal needs.</p>
<p>During the Wamp installation,  a <strong>www </strong>directory is created in WAMP5&#8242;s directory. Just put your script files (php files) in this directory and access your localhost threw an Internet Windows or the service manager (icon tray).</p>
<h3>How to install</h3>
<p><span id="more-12"></span><br />
[ad#post-ad]</p>
<p><strong>Download the latest release of WAMP5 on one of the following sites : </strong></p>
<p>http://www.wampserver.com  (French Website)<br />
http://www.en.wampserver.com  (English Website)</p>
<p><strong>Double-click on the file to start installing.</strong></p>
<p>WAMP5 will ask you where to install. You can install wherever you want, WAMP5 builds configuration files to reflect your choice. But don&#8217;t forget that some scripts and modules don&#8217;t like long names and special characters like spaces. We recommend you to leave default directory c:\wamp</p>
<p>WAMP5 will then ask you if want to install the option &#8220;Auto Start&#8221;.<br />
If you check this option, services will be installed as automatic and a link to the service manager will be copied to your startup menu.<br />
Otherwise, services will be installed as manual and will start and stop with the service manager</p>
<p>After installation, you can directly start using your server. You should first change MySQL&#8217;s root default password. You can do it threw PHPmyadmin. Please read PHPmyadmin&#8217;s documentation for more information.</p>
<h3>How to upgrade</h3>
<p>WAMP5 is now build to upgrade directly without loosing your data (since WAMP 1.0).</p>
<p>All you need to do is download the new version, shut down your local server and install this new version. It will automatically detect if you have existing scripts or databases (this will only work if you haven&#8217;t moved the /www and /data directories).</p>
<p>Your configuration files won&#8217;t be overwritten, just modified to fit changes of versions.</p>
<h3>Installed services</h3>
<p>When you install WAMP5, two services are installed on your computer :</p>
<p>wampapache (Apache service)<br />
wampmysqld (MySQL service)</p>
<p>If you choose the &#8216;Auto Start&#8217; option, those two services will be installed as automatic. This means that they will launch automatically on startup. This is interesting if you want you server to always be available. The service manager will also launch on startup. If you need to stop your server, you can do it threw the service manager or, even simpler, just close the manager, services will automatically stop.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t choose th &#8216;Auto Start&#8217; option, services will be installed as manual. This means that they will only run when you start them. This is interesting if you want your server to be available only when you need it. To start your server, just launch the service manager, services will be automatically started. To stop your server, close the manager, services will automatically stop.</p>
<p>You can also disable one of the services if you don&#8217;t need it. For example, if you don&#8217;t need MySQL, just choose &#8216;remove service&#8217; threw the service manager. The service will then be stopped and removed. The manager will then only manage the apache service. If you need MySQL again, just choose &#8216;install service&#8217; threw the manager and start MySQL.</p>
<h3>Configuration files</h3>
<p><strong>Apache, PHP5 and MySQL all have a configuration files. Here are the location of these files : </strong></p>
<p>apache<br />
install_dir\apache\conf\httpd.conf</p>
<p>PHP<br />
install_dir\apache\php.ini</p>
<p>MySQL<br />
c:\windows\mywamp.ini</p>
<p>You can access these three files threw the service manager. Theses files are unique to WAMP5 so you can have other servers than WAMP5 installed in the same time.</p>
<h3>using WAMP5</h3>
<p>Well using WAMP5 is very easy. Just launch WAMP5 and start coding!</p>
