Resources for Discussion Forums
Discussion Forums are very popular, as not only are they useful
(and sometimes fun), but they encourage people to regularly
visit your web site.
Here are some resources to help you set up your own discussion forum:
- ASP Discussion Forum Scripts
ASP scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports ASP.
- CGI Discussion Forum Scripts
CGI and Perl scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports CGI.
- PHP Discussion Forum Scripts
PHP scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports PHP.
- Remotely Hosted Discussion Forum Services
Remotely hosted Discussion Forum services. These may be a good choice if your host does not support ASP, CGI or PHP.
- CBRocket
CBRocket is our company's script. It is primarily about allowing your visitors to search
ClickBank without leaving your
web site. However, it also allows you to show ads which are targeted based
on the page's <TITLE> tag. As most discussion boards will place the
subject of a post in this tag, it means that you can easily show ads which
(usually) tie-in with the subject's of people's posts.
Here are some books from Amazon:

Home heating that's safe, clean, efficient, and uses 70 to 90 percent less fuel than a typical woodstove Heating with wood is often considered a natural and economical alternative to electricity or fossil fuels. However, even with a fairly new and efficient woodstove, many cords of wood are required for burning over the course of a single winter, and incomplete combustion can contribute to poor air quality. A rocket mass heater is an earthen masonry heating system which provides clean, safe and efficient warmth for your home, all while using 70-90% less fuel than a traditional woodstove. These unique and beautiful installations provide luxurious comfort year-round. In cold weather a few hours of clean, hot burning can provide 20 or more hours of steady warmth, while the unit's large thermal mass acts as a heat sink, cooling your home on sizzling summer days. Packed with hard-to-find information, The Rocket Mass Heater Builder's Guide includes: - Comprehensive design, construction and installation instructions combined with detailed maintenance and troubleshooting advice
- Brick-by-brick layouts, diagrams, and architectural plans augmented with detailed parts drawings and photographs for clarity
- Relevant and up-to-date code information and standards to help you navigate the approval process with local building departments.
Earthen masonry heating systems are well-suited for natural and conventional builders alike. A super-efficient, wood-burning, rocket mass heater can help you dramatically reduce your energy costs while enhancing the beauty, value and comfort of your home. |

Do you ever think of how you learn--reading, watching, doing? Maybe you use all three.
Many of us go through life unaware of how we learn or acquire a skill set; we just learn it.
We all have the capability to learn. It is from that perspective and with a passion for business process modeling with Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) that Dr. Joshua Fuehrer and Joseph Butchko set out to write a book that will provide an understanding of BPMN while engaging in the adult learning process for acquiring knowledge.
Learning BPMN 2.0 is intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice. While the focus is on learning BPMN, this book will also teach foundational concepts for business process improvement, while maintaining a balance between academia and real-world examples.
Through research, anecdotal evidence, and a collection of various resources and videos Learning BPMN 2.0 will help you grasp ideas and transform information in innovative ways. In the end you will have a greater understanding on how to apply BPMN in a way that communicates your organizations business and technical process models. |

Rising inequality of income and power, along with the recent convulsions in the finance sector, have made the search for alternatives to unbridled capitalism more urgent than ever. Yet there has been a global retreat by the Left: on the assumption that liberal capitalism is the only game in town, political theorists tend to dismiss as utopian any attempt to rethink our social and economic relations. As Fredric Jameson first argued, it is now easier for us to imagine the end of the world than an alternative to capitalism.
Erik Olin Wright’s Envisioning Real Utopias is a comprehensive assault on the quietism of contemporary social theory. Building on a lifetime’s work analyzing the class system in the developed world, as well as exploring the problem of the transition to a socialist alternative, Wright has now completed a systematic reconstruction of the core values and feasible goals for Left theorists and political actors. Envisioning Real Utopias aims to put the social back into socialism, laying the foundations for a set of concrete, emancipatory alternatives to the capitalist system. Characteristically rigorous and engaging, this will become a landmark of social thought for the twenty-first century. |

Kindle Edition (250 pages)
 | | Product Description:
Metaphor has long provided a rich way to speak about the unspeakable, to refer to delicate issues. Sex is one such area. This book follows a cognitive-linguistic and relevance-theoretic approach to the language of sex, considering metaphor as a bridge that brings together mind and language. It does this through the analysis of the antithetical mechanisms of verbal mitigation and offence. These two mechanisms are (more commonly know as) euphemism and (its lesser known companion term) dysphemism.
The volume reflects on the social and communicative functions that sexual metaphors perform in a sample of almost two hundred postings taken from internet forums. How do people think about sex? How do people avoid talking about sex? How do people paraphrase sexual topics? It offers an account of how real language users understand sexual taboo in present-day English and also a great grounding in manual corpus work on a qualitative level. |
