            From what 
            many of you are telling me, business is picking up nicely. So I wish 
            you all the best holidays and a prosperous 2013!

            The Buy 
            Here. Pay Here. Make It There. service has been returned. 
            Albeit, the data is old; you need to update your profiles. The old 
            feature which formed contracts and hired contacts needs to be rebuilt 
            - give me a few months. But there are new profile features and it all 
            works pretty well as it is. Remember to ask me to delete your old 
            profile after you create a new one. 
            The on-line CAD drawing tool might never return. 
            Sorry that's all I have for you this month, but I 
            worked really hard to return the Mirror and the Buy Here.  The 
            CAD...still working on it but looks iffy. I think the one at D-Mart 
            is a good second best for those who require it. 
             
            August 28, 2012 - Very Busy Month.... 
            The best laid plans of mice & men has struck 
            again. I should have been retired as your Admin on this date but the 
            deal fell apart. A long time member and faithful developer who was 
            groomed to take over, could not. He is still on board and you'll hear 
            much of him in the future, but I'm still your Curator and Admin. No 
            rest for the weary. 
                I want to update you about the 
            changes for 2013.  Please click
             here to review them.
           
                      The
             MIRROR has been turned off until further notice. Server
             broke, ordered another off eBay 
            If we host your website and email DO NOT WORRY, 
            we do not host domains on the Mirror server. 
            There have been improvements to our
             hosting services, 
            click here to review. Keep in mind when reviewing that the 
            SHOPPERS Members class is not active yet.

            Cathy and I are trying to get along without A/C (ours 
            broke and no way we can afford the repairs.) Our member, Pat, lives 
            out in the Philippines; says since Christmas she has seen a volcano, 
            a tsunami, a bad earthquake and cannot get into town due to floods! 
            My son and his family in Richmond are out of electric nearly 7 days 
            today due to the heat and storms. My bro-in-law out west needs a boat 
            to get to his front porch, so does my sis-in-law in Tenn. My mom in 
            New York is hotter than we are here in South Carolina. My son Patrick 
            and my grandson in FLA are cooler than all of us. Is this that 2012 
            thing or is Al Gore getting even with all those Republicans who 
            laughed at him? 
            Sorry to get off topic, but nothing much to report 
            here. I am very busy and all those inovolved with the new projects 
            are busy as well. Getting into details would just be a repost of 
            June's What's New.

            Tough couple of months now placed behind me, but got 
            all kinds of news for you. Just as an aside I am typing this thinking 
            of my approaching 6/29 birthday and looking at the 31 years 
            blurb above this posting; I suddenly realized I have been working for 
            you ladies and gents for half my life time - I am presently 62 years old! 
            Maybe time for a change. What do you think? 
            Well, hang in there, folks, a'change is a'coming. 
            Lots, in fact. I expect to have the entire website revamped by 
            Christmas. Fast Search 
            will be in place. Our new project of allowing the public to share / 
            buy / sell / lease / show and design (online CAD) artwork will also 
            be in place. Our old service of offering standard members domain
             names and websites will knock your socks off. You will be able 
            to create your websites on the fly and manage it from within your own 
            admin panel. We will have a SHOPPERS
             member class - the public (per se.) Who will be able to do the 
            same, but at a fee. They will be able to buy designs also, for a 
            price. Perhaps you have seen the buttons already. 
            This is only the hi-lights. Those actively involved in 
            doing all this seem to dream up magical ideas almost every day.

            April  1,  Palm Sunday 2012 
            My kid sister Chickie - known to most of you as Rita 
            Auricchio D'agostino, the proprietor of Holy Family Monuments and St. 
            Charles Florist in New York, died this morning from complications due 
            to pneumonia. 
               I have adjusted the new-lower access 
            fees. A handful of you will actually see an increase due to the 
            adjustment we did 2 years back when those paying $42 remained at that 
            fee. Now we're all at $45 - down $2. 
               I am moving slowly toward completion of 
            the FAST SEARCH and
             barely scratching the surface for the SHOPPER 
            functions. As members (maybe you) talk around, the news is attracting 
            others and companies to be part of what we have in store for next 
            year. None of those approaching me (or those who first thought up 
            this new project) are in the stone trades. However, I (me) am very 
            interested in a company and an individual who hails from the world of 
            3D tech drawings. And I also reached out to someone in the stone 
            trade, but heard nothing back. One thing is certain; this is going to 
            be an exciting website and archive by next year.

            February  26,  2012 
            We have gained 2 new members this week. That's 5 for 
            2012. Something is up. But expect access fees to go down this year - 
            about time, huh? 
            Of note, a new member by the name of Ryan Hogan came 
            in the door with 240 designs to share. Lots more where they came 
            from, he tells me. He also use to run a site (BBS). I'm talking 
            myself blue for him to lend a hand. So far, he's a very active member.

            Damn! Finding more than a comforty level of designs 
            which need redrawing. Especially those oldies from before Monu-CAD 
            and tools we take for granted today. 
            If I'm not sleeping or eating I'm coding in Buy Now 
            buttons. But, got a handy tool I developed while posting the buttons. 
            DO NOT RELY 100% on it as it will update whenever I think it needs 
            it. It's a seacrh engine of the FAST SEARCH area. I employ it to find 
            the pages with designs I created the buttons for.  It will, of 
            course, become prime time once the Fast Search area is about 75% 
            finished. Go to and Bookmark it.  |
