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.

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.

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.
