How to Use FTP With WordPressIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Open any FTP client. There are hundreds to choose from and you may already have one installed. Download a free client from FileZilla, WinSCP, gFTP or Cyberduck, among others.
Start a new connection if you've never connected to your web host through FTP. Each client is different, but the general process is the same. When you launch the FTP client a connection window will appear. If it doesn't, open the 'File' menu and look for 'New Connection...' or click the connect icon in the toolbar, if applicable.
Enter your host name and your web host username and password. The host name is usually your domain name, but check with your hosting provider if you're not sure. The connection type should say 'FTP' and you can check a box to save the information. Click 'Connect' or 'OK.'
Wait until the connection is established, then you'll see your WordPress files listed in the window. From here you can add or delete files as you need to. Use the toolbar icons to add or remove files or drag and drop them to and from your computer if your client software supports that.
Log out of your hosting account when you're done. There will either be a disconnect icon to click or just close the program.

Gifts to Give a Chinese VisitorIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
All articles made in China should be avoided because they can insult and be inappropriate. Your Chinese guest is interested in what is here, not back home--your gift should remind him of a positive experience here. Giving a clock as a gift to a Chinese visitor is a cultural faux pas because the Chinese word for 'clock' is similar to the word for 'death.' Likewise, all sharp instruments such as scissors, letter openers and knives should be avoided, as they tell your Chinese visitor in dramatic form that you wish to sever your relationship. Never give a fan to your Chinese guest because the word for 'fan' resembles the Chinese word for 'separation,' which gives the message that you intend to end the friendship. A green hat for a man is taboo because in China it means the man's wife is adulterous. Surprisingly, a book would not be a good idea for a visitor from Hong Kong since the pronunciation of 'book' in Cantonese resembles the sound of 'loss.' Umbrellas, for similar reasons, are also to be avoided for any Chinese visitor. Although you should aim for quality with your gift-giving, refrain from spending too much to avoid embarrassing your guest.
Tourist Shopping Behavior
A good way to assess what gift might be prized by a Chinese visitor is to consider what Chinese tourists buy for themselves and their friends. Popular items are favorites over unique or unusual items. Status items--associated with sports celebrities, political leaders or film stars--are also favorite purchases. Chinese people do like to show off luxury, so branded or designer items end up in their shopping bags. Goods that are associated with festivals, local folklore and special athletic, musical, artistic or cultural events are also prized.
Gift Ideas
Given the Chinese visitor's personal preferences, a baseball or football cap and T-shirt are good gifts, even for business clients. Parker pens are famous in China and, together with leather wallets, make good choices. Giving wine, especially white or rose wines, is also an appropriate gift. Any gift that represents your city, state or region would make a fine choice, as long as it was not made in China. The Chinese are curious about the world outside China and its special customs and goods. Also, they prize art. Your gift need not be an expensive oil painting. Large, full-colored picture books of American art or coffee-table photography books with pictures of local American towns make good gifts. Giving tickets to a special event is also something to be considered because some visitors like to engage in activities frowned upon or nonexistent at home. If you know your visitor well, consider a cabaret show or a night at the casino.
Gift-Giving Tips
When presenting your gift, use two hands, not one. Insist on it being received, even if your Chinese visitor refuses several times to accept it. And, never wrap it in white, blue or black paper. Red is a good color for gift wrap. In addition, do not give single or odd-numbered gifts. Gifts in pairs or even numbers will not offend your visitor.

How to Set Up a Website ServerIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Download a server program. Apache HTTP Server is a reliable, easy-to-use web-server program that can be downloaded for free.
Install the program. When prompted, enter the name of the domain (website.com) and the server name (www.website.com). Also enter the email address for the site's administrator.

Should a Mother of the Bride Buy a Gift for the Wedding Shower?In Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
There is no universal rule about whether or not the mother of the bride should provide a gift for her daughter's wedding shower because every family is different. There are, however, several considerations. If the mother hosts the event, which includes paying for the decorations and catering out of her own pocket, it's acceptable for her not to provide a gift for the occasion because it is understood that she has paid a substantial amount of money (and invested a great deal of time) to organize and hold the event. If she hosts the event and still wishes to contribute a gift, she could give a gift that is inexpensive but has sentimental value, such as an heirloom that has been in the family for many years.
If the Mother Doesn't Host
If the bridal shower is held at a location other than the mother's house, and she hasn't played an active role in organizing the event, it is expected that she contribute a gift for her daughter's special day. This gift is separate from the wedding gift and traditional shower gifts include small appliances, household items and lingerie.
Dependent on Wedding Gift
The mother's contribution of a bridal shower gift can be dependent on the gift she's giving her daughter for the wedding. If the bride's mother is contributing a significant financial or material gift, such as paying for a portion of the wedding or honeymoon, it is acceptable for her to provide a smaller gift at the shower. As is the case when she hosts the event, an appropriate small gift may be something that has been passed down through the family.
Give Something
It's never a bad idea for the mother to contribute something to the occasion, even if she has spent a great deal of time and money organizing and hosting the shower. If the bride-to-be is close with her mother, she will appreciate a gift on this special day. Whether it's an expensive present or a priceless family memento, the bride will be happy to receive a gift from her mother at the bridal shower.

How to Plan a Summer BBQIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Pick the right day. BBQ's are best for end of the week gatherings or weekend days. Pick a time when most people will be available.
Create your guest list. If you've had lots of parties, you know that guest lists tend to expand. If you invite one friend, you have to invite others and so on. Pick compatible people from various sources. Don't just invite people from work. If you do invite people from work, limit the number so that they don't cluster and only talk about work. Diversify. Include neighbors and family members and new acquaintances. Introduce your guests to one another so they can mingle and talk.
Make a party CD. It's a good idea to have all of the music planned ahead of time so that you aren't distracted by choosing CDs and changing the tunes. Making MP3 CDs is great for parties because you can fit 8 hours of music on one CD.
Plan the food. Get a fairly accurate head count so that you know how much of everything to buy. As you invite people, assign them a type of food (salad, dessert, drinks) to bring. Plan for about 20 percent more than you expect. Have a variety of items on hand to BBQ for different tastes. If some people are vegetarian, have some gardenburgers to toss on the grill.
Make sure the food is safe. Meat and mayo based products can't be left for more than 4 hours without refrigeration. No food should be uncovered or in the sun. Barbecue meat to at least medium. Keep an eye on people who over-indulge in alcohol. Have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher on hand for emergencies.

How to Run 'Friday Night Magic' at HomeIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Ask yourself whether you want your Friday Night Magic to be officially sanctioned. If you want your event to be officially sanctioned, you will need to host the event in a public facility that is accessible to everyone, preferably a gaming store that can qualify for a Wizards Play Network level. You will need to find a Magic the Gathering judge who can attend the event, and you must follow the guidelines set out by Wizards of the Coast (Resources). However, if you just want to host a friendly get-together to play just for fun, keep reading.
Decide whether you want to just get your friends together or whether you want to open game night to anyone who wants to play. Keep in mind that opening it to anyone who wants to play means letting potential strangers into your home.
Find an area in your house that can hold the number of people you are going to have attending. Hosting a gaming night is like hosting any other party. Consider the number of people that you can easily accommodate, and be sure to provide enough snacks and drinks for everyone.
Make sure you have enough tables and chairs for everyone. No one is going to want to have to take turns playing at the kitchen table or resort to playing on the floor.
Invite your Magic the Gathering playing friends. If you are going to open the event to all gamers in your area, you will need to advertise the event. You can advertise via fliers or any other creative way you can think of. You just need to make sure people understand that your event is not an officially sanctioned Friday Night Magic event. Some gamers might not want to give up an official event, where they can improve their tournament rankings and win prizes, just for a friendly get-together.
