Debugs, Advanced EIGRP Commands, and More!

by: gaobin

CCNA Certification:

What command results in the following output?

R3#
00:11:37: RIP: received v2 update from 172.12.123.1 on Serial0
00:11:37: 172.12.123.0/24 via 0.0.0.0 in 1 hops

CCENT Certification:

What's the basic purpose of the logging synchronous command?

CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

When configuring a basic firewall in SDM, what are the three options for the preconfigured security levels? Can you create your own custom security levels?

CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

Microsoft 74-138: Plan&Build a Msg&Collab Envir Usin MS Off Sys&Win Serv, these are some exam study guides which you will cover every field and category in Microsoft Partner Competency exam helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

In the following output, describe....

1. Why we would use this command in the first place
2. The meaning of "100"
3. The meaning of "300"
4. The default setting for this particular value, and what we're changing it to.

R1(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 300

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

What router redundancy protocol is defined by RFC 2281?

CCNP / ONT Exam:

IntServ uses RSVP, but DiffServ does not. What does DiffServ use in place of RSVP?

Here are the answers!

CCNA: Answer: That's the output of debug ip rip.

CCENT: Answer: When the router wants you to know something, it wants you to know right now. If the router sends a message to the console while you're entering a command, by default the router will interrupt your work to show you this message.

In the following example, I opened a Serial interface, which will always result in at least two messages relating to the physical and logical state of the interface. I started typing a sentence immediately after I opened the interface to show you what happens. I've bolded the sentence I was entering.

R1(config)#int s0
R1(config-if)#no shut
R1(config-if)#^Z
R1#so here i am

4d04h: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by consoletyp
4d04h: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0, changed state to uping and
4d04h: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0, changed state to upi've been interrupted quite badly!
4d04h: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0, changed state to down

This may seen trivial, but when you have a long command entry interrupted by a console message, you'll wonder how to prevent that from happening. (After you stop yelling at the router, that is.)

By configuring the logging synchronous command on the console port, you're telling the router to hold such messages until it detects no input from the keyboard and no other output from the router, such as a show command's output.

R1(config)#line console 0
R1(config-line)#logging ?
synchronous Synchronized message output

CCNA Security / CCNP ISCW Exam: Answer: The options are High, Medium, and Low. In the Basic Firewall Wizard, you cannot create your own custom security levels, but you can do so in the Advanced Wizard.

CCNP BSCI Answer: By default, EIGRP uses up to 50 percent of a given interface's bandwidth. If you wish to change this default, it can be done with the interface-level command ip bandwidth-percent eigrp.

R1(config)#int s0
R1(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp ?
<1-65535> Autonomous system number

R1(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 ?
<1-999999> Maximum bandwidth percentage that EIGRP may use

R1(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 300

I am showing you this command's values with IOS Help to remind you that you should develop the habit of always taking a few extra seconds to check the values - because in this command, the values look really strange. How in the world can I set EIGRP 100 to use 300% of an interface's bandwidth? And why would I ever do that?

There is always the chance that the actual physical speed of the interface exceeds the logical setting. You could take an interface with a 512 kbps interface and give it a logical setting of 56 kbps.

If you then wanted the line to allow EIGRP to use 168 kbps of the physical bandwidth, you'd set the bandwidth-percent value to 300, which allocates 300% of 56kbps to EIGRP traffic - which is 3 x 56, or 168.

I know it sounds crazy, so here's the proof that you can actually do this:

R3(config)#interface serial0
R3(config-if)#bandwidth 56
R3(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp ?
<1-65535> Autonomous system number

R3(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 ?
<1-999999> Maximum bandwidth percentage that EIGRP may use

R3(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 300

BCMSN: Answer: Our old friend HSRP - the Hot Standby Routing Protocol.

ONT: Answer: DiffServ uses PHB - Per-Hop Behavior.

Learning Events - Competencies - And Job Roles

by: gaobin

At SyberWorks, we are often asked, "What is the difference between Courses, Learning Events, Competencies, and Job Roles?" It's a great question!

A Course is basically testable and scoreable learning content that can be delivered to students either online (such as, through a Learning Management System) or offline (often in a physical classroom). Courses usually have a passing status (at least), and often a specific final grade. Online Courses can be tested and graded automatically, while students' passing statuses and grades for offline Courses need to be manually entered into the LMS. However, both kinds of Courses can appear on LMS-generated student transcripts.

Microsoft 70-271: MCDST Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a MS Windows XP OS, these are some exam study guides which you will cover every field and category in MCDST helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

A Learning Event is a defined mechanism for delivering this subject-related content. One or more Courses (of either type) can enable a student to complete an associated Learning Event. Once completed, one or more Learning Events can grant students mastery of all associated Competencies (or "skills"). And once Competencies are mastered, any associated Job Roles are earned. Job Roles are the final indication that students who earn them can perform defined functions within the organization.
For example, let's say that I want to earn the Job Role of "PC Field Technician." To do so in my organization, I need to master three associated Competencies:

- Repairing Laptop PCs
- Repairing Desktop PCs
- Repair-work Safety

The laptop Competency alone may require that I complete three Learning Events (repairing laptop screens, keyboards, and internal components) and then prove my laptop-repair mastery in a live demo to my supervisor:

- The laptop screen Learning Event is defined to require that I pass a "Laptop 101" online Course. And once I pass it, the laptop screen Learning Event is completed.
- The laptop keyboard Learning Event similarly requires that I pass a "Laptop 102" online Course. And once I pass it, this Learning Event is also completed.
- The laptop internals Learning Event then requires that I pass an offline (classroom) Course, and submit a passing certificate to my LMS administrator. They then update my training record to show that I successfully completed this Learning Event.
- And the final Learning Event (the laptop-repair demo), requires that I show my supervisor that I can indeed repair a laptop PC. Once the supervisor sees that I can, she emails the LMS admin, who also adds this data to my training record.

Microsoft 70-282: MCSE Designing, Deploying, and Managing a Network Solution for a Small- and Medium-Sized Business, these are some exam study guides which you will cover every field and category in MCSE helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

And once I similarly pass the other two desktop-repair and repair-safety
Courses, complete their associated Learning Events, and master their associated Competencies, I will at last earn the right to perform the "PC Field Technician" Job Role that required all of them.

The neat thing about this Course / Learning Event / Competency / Job Role structure is that administrators can assign and coordinate the dates when they all must be completed, and as a result, can configure, track, and manage both student learning plans and training schedules. These schedules can also factor in "repeat intervals" that may be required for annual Competency re-certifications. And automatic emails can tell students (and their supervisors) how and when the next round of training needs to be completed, to recertify student Competencies and re-qualify them for associated Job Roles.

What is the Difference Between Compiling and Debugging?

by: gaobin

Debugging:-Computer programmers, like everybody else, are not perfect. This means the programs they write sometimes have small errors, called "bugs," in them. These bugs can be minor, such as not recognizing user input, or more serious, such as a memory leak that crashes the program. Before releasing their software to the public, programmers "debug" their programs, eliminating as many errors as possible. This debugging process often takes a long time, as fixing some errors may introduce others.

Microsoft 70-543(CSharp): TS: Visual Studio Tools for 2007 MS Office System (VTSO), these are some exam study guides which you will cover every field and category in TS helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

Compiling:-When programmers create software programs, they first write the program in source code, which is written in a specific programming language, such as C or Java. These source code files are saved in a text-based, human-readable format, which can be opened and edited by programmers. However, the source code cannot be run directly by the computer. In order for the code to be understood by the computer's CPU, it must be compiled into an executable program.

Most software development programs include a compiler, which compiles source code files into machine code. This code, sometimes referred to as object code, can be executed directly by the computer's processor. Therefore, the resulting application is often referred to as an executable file. Windows executable files have a .EXE file extension, while Mac OS X programs have .APP extension, which is often hidden.

So the conclusion is a compiled program may have errors or bugs but not a successfully debugged program cannot have any.

So for a perfect program you need to debug and compile a program

How to Create a VPN

by: gaobin

When you ask yourself the question, "How do I create a VPN?", there are many ways to answer it. There are a lot of possibilities and configurations to set one up, and you need to make a lot of decisions before you do so. Some of the configurations are simple, while some are more complex.

All of them are going to require thought about what you surmise your current and future business needs are going to be. Fortunately, when you first ask yourself the question as to how you should create your VPN, you won't have any wrong answers. You'll only need to figure out what's most constructive for you depending on the goals you want to achieve.

Microsoft MB5-538: Retail Management System 2.0 Headquarters, these are some exam study guides which you will cover every field and category in Microsoft Business Solutions helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

If you doubt what you should do right now, start small and then grow as you need to. This isn't a bad thing, necessarily, because VPN technology can be easily expanded at minimum expense when you compare it to the older point-to-point or dedicated lines that were involved in traditional wide area networks, or WANs.

When you're trying to figure out how to create a VPN, first ask yourself why you need one. What do you need to share, and with whom do you need to share? Where are these people located, how often will they access your server, and will this need to be reciprocated so that you need to access theirs as well?

Will this need to be independent of the main location? Perhaps the first thing to do is to sketch out a diagram so that you can figure out what you want on paper first. Begin with your main computer, server or network. This is where the information is stored that will need to be accessed by remote servers.

It could be a local area network or just one computer, for example. Add other locations, clients or users, or networks, and then draw arrows to indicate which of these clients or users need to share data.

A VPN runs via a public access area that is usually on the Internet, so think about other locations and how they connect to the Internet currently. You may or may not need to change this when you create your VPN. Will you want people who telecommute for you to have access? Will you need to have employees who are traveling access the network? These are all questions that need to be answered.

Once you've clearly defined your data sharing needs, you can look at the different types of security and access available for VPNs. You'll need to consider what speed you want, level of security, and the flexibility of your setup, in case you need to make changes in the future. You'll also need to consider the how well your existing hardware and software applications can communicate with each other.

Are they compatible? If not, you'll need to make some changes, and you need to figure out what those are. Make an inventory of your existing hardware at each location and provide information as to how software applications such as authentication programs, firewalls, and the like are being used at present. Once these are installed, figure out who's going to support your virtual private network and how the users will be administered and will gain their access.

Microsoft 70-305: MCAD .NET Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic.NET, these are some exam study guides which you will cover every field and category in MCAD.NET helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

After you have this data put together, you'll need to answer the initial question: "How do I create a VPN?" The most important thing to remember here is that you want to strike a balance between functionality and ease-of-use for both yourself and other people who will be accessing the network.

Computer Vision Syndrome - In the Blink of an Eye!

by: gaobin

It is no secret that healthy workers make a happy and productive workforce. Forget the hazards of hostile work conditions in places such as furnaces or chemical laboratories; even the innocuous office of today poses its own threat. Computers have, no doubt, made our lives easier, but regular usage is strongly associated with certain unpleasant consequences. Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a term used to describe the ill effects that arise out of excessive or improper computer usage. As a responsible employer, it is your obligation to ensure that your staff suffers from it as little as possible.

In the 70-305 exam resources, MCAD .NET Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic.NET, you will cover every field and category in MCAD.NET helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

Computer Vision Syndrome impacts people in different ways by creating visual, ocular or physical discomfort or a combination of these. The effects of Computer Vision Syndrome can be minimized by taking certain measures, some of which involve a modification of people's work habits, whereas others relate to changes in the physical layout of the workplace. Let's start with the latter.

It's in the air. Lots of CVS victims complain of itchy and dry eyes. Adjusting the humidity levels in the office and directing air flows in a way that neither hot nor cold air blows right onto people's faces, can bring some relief.

See things in the right light. Who hasn't experienced the discomfort of tired and blurry eyes at the end of a long workday? Improper lighting and too many reflections off different surfaces combine to create eye strain. Throw in a computer screen, and wham! you're already feeling the mother of all headaches coming on. Make sure that your office lighting is designed right - that means using less bright or indirect sources, reducing glare by ensuring windows are covered or even employing colors that are less reflective. Interestingly, you can use an illuminated keyboard which helps reduce eyestrain during night time computer usage.

Take a screen test. Computer monitors are a great source of unnecessary reflections - you want to look at your files, not the window grille, for heaven's sake! Have all screens fitted with an anti glare cover, and encourage the use of attachable document holders. If you want a more sophisticated solution, check out a range of products from imate especially designed to counter CVS. And let users know that a high brightness setting and display of more than 6 colors at a go is not going to help their case. Of course, none of this is any good if the monitors aren't kept clean and dust free. A gentle rap on the knuckles should sort out offenders nice and proper!

Learn the body language. The workstation must be designed to suit the human body, and not the other way round. The biggest pain in the neck in the office is no longer an inquisitive colleague; it's the not-so-friendly desktop computer! Computer screens must be placed approximately 4 to 8 inches below eye level, so that the top line of text is 15 degrees below the line of vision. Chairs must be ergonomically designed, and adjustable according to individual body contours. Make sure there is adequate space to stretch one's legs and the table is large enough to accommodate wrists and elbows....

Besides all this, you can remind your office workers to modify their habits to minimize the strain resulting from Computer Vision Syndrome. Place notices urging people to drink plenty of water, do gentle exercises, take regular breaks and blink!

MCSE certification Boot Camp

by: gaobin

The transition of computers from cutting edge technology to everyday business functions led to the need for qualified systems engineers. As a result, the need for a certification system was required to differentiate between systems engineers who claimed their expertise in managing systems and those who were actually qualified to do so. Microsoft felt this need and developed a certification system that tested an individual about Microsoft platforms and servers.

MCSE certification is incredibly important in the computing field, especially for those individuals who want to excel technologically as well as financially. The MCSE certification helps individuals prove that they are expert in this platform. The individual is able to implement and design the infrastructure required in the two available streams, Windows 2000 and Windows server 2003 and so they will have to give different sets of examinations for them.

In the 70-271 exam resources, MCDST Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a MS Windows XP OS, you will cover every field and category in MCDST helping to ready you for your successful Microsoft Certification.

Individuals planning to secure training in IT will have to go through MCSE boot camp. The MCSE boot camp provides an intensive training that helps students to get trained, pass the examination and handle any kind of work efficiently in any company. The concept of MCSE boot camp has earned its name for its intensity and not for any disciplined military approach.

Most MCSE boot camps last for two weeks. The cost of the boot camp is rather higher, especially when they include air transportation, lodging and meals. In most of the cases, employers pay for the cost of the camp.

During the boot camp, students take up seven certification examinations and work directed by instructors towards preparation for each examination. Every instructor is experienced in all Microsoft platforms and so students need not worry. Also, there are practical guides using up to date hardware and software. MCSE boot camps always have a twenty four hour lab access to the students.

The advantage of training under a boot camp is the success associated with it. Generally, there are guaranteed success assurances. However, if there are some failures, the instructors identify and correct any mistakes responsibly and facilitate re-examination of the failures at a reduced rate.

Individual attention is the key to a successful completion of the test and so many MCSE boot camps have small classes and therefore a high instructor to student ratio.

A Handbook On How To Reconstruct Microsoft Xbox 360

by: gaobin

 how to rebuild Microsoft xBox 360 guides.

Highly simply, there are concerning two types of issues that bother, and hence brought out the need, for reconstruct of xBox 360 consoles.

Even if it has a "cultish" behind among console gamers, various hardcore gamers allow also complained regarding the many difficulties that they come across erstwhile loving their event. '

Overheating

xBox consoles suffer from one main error - they are produced wit reduced LSI heat sinks, creating them entirely disposed to overheating. You can distinguish if an xBox is overheating when the console's screen freezes. Several gamers quickly point to the towel resolve to resolve this. But the towel resolve has, in fact, confirmed to be a fire hazard.

Microsoft committed one major project mistake when it downsized the LSI heat sink on the xBox consoles because it made it greatly simple for the console boxes to overheat. You will sense if your console is overheating if the screen suddenly stops. Gamers acquire regularly resorted to the towel fix as a solution. However, this has proven to be a risky and a fire risk.

Hardware breakdown

You will recognize if your xBox console is distressed from a hardware problem if three sections on the capacity button are flashing red lights. Hardcore gamers name it by other names: "red lights of death", "3 red lights" or "red rings of death".

The red lights incident certainly doesn't identify you anything aside from that when this occurs, your xBox console turns out to be unusable, and you will accept no option but to put out a facts "where can I get reconstruct for my xBox 360?"

Certainly, the best solution is to send your console to a Microsoft xBox 360 reconstruct go shopping. In all prospect, they would acquire a spiel about how the brittle soldering on the console's motherboard afflicted its power to resist high temperature. on the other hand, it has been established that the extreme difficult part of an xBox console are its intercooler form and its Graphics Processing Unit or GPU. The intercooler uses also much control, therefore causing difficulties, like scorching the influence input. On the other hand, the GPU can definitely be affected by a flexing in the console's motherboard.

However, when you forward your console to a restore center, you would affirm to wait at least four weeks before you can like console gaming pleasure. Then extremely, if your console is out-of-warranty (even with an extended warranty by Microsoft), you would affirm to invest $140 for the restore.

There are many xBox 360 repair handbooks that you can immediately denote - whether they are in the form of instructional videos or books. You can convert to them when your xBox 360 console unexpectedly bogs down, putting a lid on your inspiring sport. And you can enjoy your event once more in as directly as 30 minutes.

Your House May Not Be Safe For Poodles

by: gaobin

Your house should be a comfortable and safe place for everybody, even for Poodles and other animals. This is the reason why experts put strong emphasis on puppy-proofing the house. But one cannot truly create a safe place for his Poodles unless he knows what things or substances are harmful to them. Fixing broken fences or removing pesticides or insecticides out of the animal's reach is not enough to ensure safety. Sometimes, what we consider safe and useful for us humans could threaten the health and life for our four-legged friends. As a responsible pet owner, one must take an extra effort to know the things that could harm them. This in turn will ensure that the dogs you hold so dear will stay with you for longest possible time.

Chocolate. Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine which is toxic to dogs. Ingesting large amount of chocolate can kill a dog but poisoning can occur even if ingested in small amounts. Eating chocolate in large amount may cause your dog to become excited and hyperactive. Vomiting, diarrhea and increased urination are also indication of chocolate poisoning. Contact your vet immediately if you suspect your dog has eaten too much chocolate.

Onions. Onions contain toxic substance called thiosulphate. Onions, regardless of form - dehydrated, raw, cooked and even table scraps containing onions, should not be given to dogs or else haemolytic anemia will develop. Haemolytic anemia is a condition wherein the pet's red blood cells burst while circulating in the body. Symptoms of haemolytic anemia include labored breathing, liver damage, vomiting, diarrhea and discolored urine.

Tylenol. Tylenol is a popular brand of drug for relieving pain. Though beneficial for humans, two regular strength Tylenol tablets can kill a small dog. Dogs do not have the capability to break down acetaminophen, the active substance of Tylenol. Signs of poisoning include drooling, lethargy and abdominal pain. Contact your vet immediately if you suspect your dog has ingested Tylenol.

Macadamia Nuts. Macadamia nuts contain high phosphorus that may cause tremor in the skeletal muscles and locomotor difficulties. Other effects of poisoning include paralysis of the hindquarters, swollen limbs, pain when the limbs are manipulated, inability to rise and distress.

Fabric Softeners and other detergents. Household chemicals such as detergents and fabric softeners are toxic to dogs. Signs of poisoning include vomiting, lethargy, burns to the mouth, drooling, muscle weakness and may even lead to coma. Contact your vet immediately.

Free Soccer Games Online

by: gaobin

 Computer game businesses have increasingly produced a variety of soccer games as the sport is widely considered the most popular in the world. Soccer draws the greatest number of audience than any other sport. As millions of followers worship soccer, tons of soccer merchandise was sought after thus the huge demand for soccer computer games.

Today, tons of computer game websites offer free soccer games. The buyers should however realize that not all the sites give away free games. Some websites only trick the consumers to gain name recall or popular exposure. Such a fraud should never be tolerated as it just misleads and wastes the time of the buyers.

In most cases, websites that sell soccer computer games offer free demos in order to give the consumers the chance to try the product. The free soccer games are usually downloadable and can only be used for a particular period of time. The user then must explore the product before the trial period expires so he/she can assess whether the game is worth the buy or not. Although soccer games are mostly affordable, it's still wise to make sure that the features of the product match the buyer's preferences. After all, every cent counts these days.

However, downloading free soccer demos has its downside. A number of computer game websites are not authentic and only produce downloadable bugs and viruses which can destroy the user's files and harm his/her computer. A way of getting rid of such an ordeal is to make sure that the game company or website is certified by the authorities.

How to Easily Repair Your Computer

by: gaobin

Adware is a real problem for most people but they are not even aware of it. The problem is found in the fact that most computer owners do not truly understand what Adware is and what function it serves. Here is a quick glance into what Adware is and what can be done about it:

The software application known as Adware works to display pop up windows or non-requested banner advertisements. Most computers come with Adware and they way the manufacturer explains the need for their existence goes something like this, "Ultimately, Adware brings in revenue and as a result this savings is past on to the consumer." So, it all seems innocent enough as the consumer is able to get an informative piece of software totally free as a result of the sponsors. Now, let's take a look at the major problem with Adware:

Often, what is passed as Adware is nothing more than what is commonly referred to as, "Spyware." In actuality, the Adware software is collecting data about the user and a third party is getting access to it. This happens without permission or written consent from the person who the information belongs to.

The good news is that there is an anecdote for the Spyware or Adware problem. It is called Adware protection software. If you are as concerned as i am about some stranger or strange company knowing my passwords or other private information then i strongly recommend getting a free scan on your computer to find out exactly what is going on if anything. I have included a link to s a site that reviews the three leading Anti-Adware companies on the market.

Top 5 Tips How Online Education Will Boost Your Career During a Recession

by: gaobin

With inflation on the rise, food and gas prices skyrocketing, and job growth at a standstill, this may seem like the worst time to put your precious time and money into going back to school for a degree. Contrary to that intuition, however, economic downturns can be a great time to revisit the student life.

Going back to school can give you an unlikely shelter in the recession storm. Here are five reasons why:

1. Access to free money - Scholarships, Pell grants, and awards are as catch-free as the $20 bill from Grandma on your birthday. The money is yours to use as you please, and you never have to pay back a cent. All you have to do is fill out the applications, maybe write a few essays, and keep yourself in school. When else in your life are you going get thousands of dollars for free? Never, unless your grandma is Oprah or somebody.

2. Access to cheap money - Student loans are the best loans on the planet. Their interest rates are insanely low, and you don't have to start paying them back until six months after you graduate. Loans like this aren't available to anyone else but college students.

3. You're not missing out on anything - While you are absent from the working world, especially during a recession, guess what? Nothing is happening. Your former co-workers aren't moving into their dream jobs because there are no jobs. A recession really lowers the opportunity costs of going to back to school.

4. Powerful networks and career resources - Forget the classifieds. College campuses are hubs for powerful networks. They tend to draw influential people from various disciplines together into one place. You will have access to professors, administrators, and fellow students who may be your key to your dream job. Add onto that the well-connected career centers that are usually found on college campuses, and you have a cornucopia of opportunities to network. Way better than happy hour.

5. Uncle Sam loves you - When you are living on financial aid and making little or no income, the government has nothing to tax you for. According to Uncle Sam's numbers, you are the poorest of the poor and, therefore, have access to handfuls of free services. Many students qualify for food stamps, Medicaid, and even utility assistance. Visits to those infamously unkind government offices can be grueling, but the free food and insurance more than make up for the shoddy customer service.

If you've been thinking of going back to school, now may be the time to do it. Why weather the recession storm looking for jobs when you can go to school, get ahead, and save alot of money doing it? Do a search now and find a degree and school right for you.

Smoking meat is really not too terribly difficult, especially if you use the correct equipment. And the first - numero uno - needed piece of equipment is the smoker.

Also, with a smoker, you may have a pan of water between the meat and the fire. The water tends to hold the smoker at a constant temperature, and also moistens the meat, making it very tender.

A smoker differs from a conventional backyard BBQ grill in several ways. Your typical Weber on the patio is used to cook food fast, and at a very high temperature. With a smoker, you cook food at a much lower temperature for a longer period of time, ribs will typically take 6 hours as an example.

Good brands of smokers to look for are Brinkmann, Traeger - which uses wood pellets, and Bradley. All these companies make models for the backyard bbq'er, not just commercial models.

A typical grill will use propane or charcoal as fuel, and a smoker may use the same as well. Seasoned veterans though will use hardwood to smoke their food. As the wood burns, it gives off a distinct smoke depending on the type of wood used. The smoke is infused in the meat giving it a unmatchable flavor. Just make sure to use hardwoods. Softwoods such as pine will actually render the meat inedible.

So there you have it. The best way to achieve superstar status in the backyard BBQ world is to get yourself a smoker and start cooking up fantastic food for your friends and family!

Using GNU Screen in Your Terminal

by: gaobin

Available in most Linux distributions, GNU Screen is a utility that allows you to split one terminal window into several separate terminal sessions. It's great for saving screen space by running multiple command-line applications in one large terminal window, rather than several smaller ones.

As a PHP developer, I use GNU Screen to split one large terminal window into three sessions; one to view directories containing project files, one to connect to and manage my MySQL database server and one to keep an eye on log files via the tail command.

When you start Screen in a terminal, you're presented with a welcome message then returned to the command prompt. The prompt looks and works exactly how it normally would, but now you have all the facilities of Screen at your disposal.

To start using Screen, Press Ctrl and the A key simultaneously.Now Screen is listening for your command.Use Shift-S to split the terminal window into two, creating two individual screens.

The terminal window is split, but you still have just one session active. Get Screen's attention again by pressing Ctrl-A and then hit Tab. This command will make the newly created screen the active one and can be repeated to cycle through screens.

Press Ctrl-A then c (lower-case, you don't need to use Shift for this command) and a new command prompt will appear.

You can close any command prompts by typing 'exit'

You should now have two screens, each with their own command prompt. You can repeat the split process to give yourself more screens if you like.

To resize a screen, press Ctrl-A followed by a colon (:) Now you'll see GNU Screen's own command prompt, where you can enter the command to resize the screen you're currently active in. Enter 'resize 10' to change the screen's height to ten lines.

Those are the basics of using GNU Screen, hopefully enough to give you some idea of how useful it can be. Many in-depth tutorials can be found through your favorite search engine if you're interested in learning more.

The five benefits of swimming

by: gaobin

Since water adds twelve times more resistance than air, it helps us build muscle and strength faster. When we swim, we work all of the major muscles groups, including: shoulders, back, abdominal, legs, hips, and gluts.

Many of us can remember when we were younger and we could spend hours upon hours swimming in the pool without feeling an ounce of muscle pain the next day. This is because being submerged in the water has a great way of cushioning our joints and protecting our bones. Aside from helping us beat the heat, swimming is a great form of exercise.

All of these muscles are working twelve times harder than if we were on land. This aids in producing exceptional muscle definition. Many people assume that water exercise is way too strenuous because of all of the added pressure; however, the truth is that swimming is one the most cushioned and safe forms of physical fitness. Water fitness is especially beneficial to those who find other forms of exercise painful. For instance, many people who suffer from arthritis commit themselves to this type of workout because it is a low impact type of exercise. Since people with arthritis suffer from stiff joints, swimming in a pool eliminates the possibility of injury. When on land, the impact of the exercise is much more intense on stiff joints. Nonetheless, if you are still skeptical about the safety of water fitness, perhaps knowing that athletes use water to rehabilitate after an injury may change your mind.

So how can you get started? Well, the easiest way to get started is to either hire a swim coach or join a local gym which offers swimming classes. Ten minutes of swimming is perfect if you are just starting out. From there you should try to build up to thirty minutes. Also remember to warm up before your session and to cool down after your session. Try to schedule your regimen anywhere from three to five times a week in order for it to be effective. Swimming is truly a great way to achieve a healthy and fit lifestyle without all of the muscle aches.
