Salem Road Corridor

Thursday 15 December 2011 at 12:11 pm

The Salem Road Corridor zoning district extends along Salem Road from I-20 south to the Newton County line. The Salem Road Corridor Association extends into Newton County incorporating subdivisions in both Rockdale and Newton County Georgia. The Salem Road Widening Project stretches from I-20 south to Brown Bridge Road where ground is breaking for the new Wal-Mart store in Newton County.

Salem Road extends slightly north of I-20 in Rockdale County past the Dogwood Connector to Old Covington Highway where Salem Road becomes Sigman Road. Even long time residents think of Sigman Road which loops from the Salem Road exit of I-20 around to its own exit six miles to the west. But the Salem Road corridor is on what is strictly called the Salem Road exit of I-20, or exit 84.

Rockdale County and Newton County Exit Numbers

  • 78 - Sigman Road
  • 80 - West Avenue (Klondiike)
  • 82 - 138 (Georgia Highway 20, Stockbridge Highway, Old McDonough Rd, Horsepark)
  • 84 - Salem Road (the Other Sigman Road exit)
  • 88 - Almon Road (Crowell Road)
  • 90 - 278 - the beginning of the Covington Ga Strip
  • 92 - Alcovy Road - near City Pond
  • 94 - Hazlebrand - Home Depot and Walmart in Newton County

Salem Road Widening Project

In 2007 a study with the State of Georgia, Engineering consultants and the community around Salem Road outlined plans to widen Salem Road in Rockdale County and Newton County Georgia to six lanes from I20 south to Brown Bridge Road. The road is to be rerouted slightly west at Salem Campground and the old cemetary around Spring Road. More information is at Salem Road Corridor.

Atlanta Movers

Friday 09 December 2011 at 2:45 pm

Some believe that Mark the Mover from just north of Georgia Tech on the west side of Midtown Atlanta may be the most respected Atlanta Mover for Smyrna Movers. From Smyrna Georgia you can reach Mark the Mover for moving and packing supplies by catching Old Atlanta Rd south to Marietta Blvd and Mark the Mover is at Carroll Drive. Mark the Mover provides a full range of packing and moving services for Atlanta, Mableton, Smyrna and Marietta Ga as well as everywhere around Atlanta Georgia.

Mark the Mover has more than a dozen moving trucks from 24 to 30 feet in length. We concentrate on buying trucks with a maximum of local traffic maneuverability to concentrate on local moving and getting in and out of tight household moving situations. Mark the Mover uses courteous moving professionals and we stock our moving trucks with a plentiful supply of furniture blankets and shrink wrap. Shirnk wrap has become a modern time saver for many moving professionals, and at Mark the Mover, we never charge extra for the shrink wrap and furniture pads we use on moving day.

Many moving companies have taken to offering low prices up front to get customers. These moving companies have names you have never heard of and many of them just use rental moving trucks. Consumers have no idea if these cut rate moving companies are adequately insured. Some of these companies are good and seek to do a good job, but others have caused property damage with their rental trucks and inexperienced drivers that they never fix. If you are moving out of an apartment complex and hire a moving company that damages a railing or wall, did you know that the apartment complex will come after you for the cost of repairs? Unless you hire a moving company that is properly insured, and has a reputation for not standing behind their work, you run the risk of financial loss.

Worse than that, the other trick these low cost moving companies routinely engage in is holding your household goods hostage until you pay their hidden charges. The price, usually 69 or 79 an hour for a small truck and two guys that work slow, sounded good over the phone, but when moving day comes there is a good chance you will find out that was just for the first hour, or there is an extra charge for the second story, the gas, or because the sky is blue. At Mark the Mover the price we give you is the price you pay. Generally for local moving we give you an hourly rate, provide the truck, moving pads, fuel, men and equipment and our well trained moving professionals get the job done quickly and efficiently.

So for a safe play for Atlanta movers, call Mark the Mover.

Local Area Networks - Point to Point Systems - client / server systems - Selection of NOS - UNIX Commands - Commands NetWare - Acronyms - HTML-Manual C Programming

LAN client / server Novell NetWare to Microsoft Windows NT Server, IBM LAN Server Banyan VINES of UNIX Linux LAN Client / Server

In the strictest sense, the term client / server describes a system in which a client machine requests a second machine called a server running a specific task. The client is usually a common personal computer connected to a LAN, and server is usually a host machine as a file server PC, a UNIX file server or a mainframe or midrange computer. The client program performs two distinct functions: one handles the communication with the server, requests a service and receives the data sent by it. In addition, it handles the user interface: it presents the data in the appropriate format and provides the tools and commands for the user to use the services of the server easily. The server program instead basically just has to take care to transmit information efficiently. It has to cater to the user.

In this way a single server can service multiple clients simultaneously. Some of the main LAN client / server with dedicated servers that can perform work for clients including Windows NT, Novell NetWare, Banyan Vines and LAN Server, IBM and others. All of these network operating systems can operate and process requests for applications running in customers through the same processing applications. Back to topics in this section of Novell NetWare Novell's approach to service user LAN is unique in that it has chosen to concentrate efforts on the production of software running on the network hardware from other manufacturers. NetWare runs on virtually any IBM or compatible, and runs on all hardware from leading manufacturers of LAN products including Apple Macintosh and ARCnet. 

Novell's philosophy is to become an industry standard through market dominance. The network operating system Novell, NetWare, can run on several different topologies. Depending on the hardware you select, NetWare runs on a network configured as a star, star cluster, Token Ring and even a bus. NetWare NetWare architecture is designed to provide real support network file server. In the OSI model, the software Novell file server resides in the application layer, while the disk operating software (DOS) is in the presentation layer. The file server software forms a cover around the operating systems like DOS, and is capable of intercepting application program commands before they reach the processor, operating system commands.The user workstations are not aware of this phenomenon, just ask a data file or a program without worrying about where it is located. Managing Files on NetWare NetWare allows the supervisor to set the directory access.

Linux Networking

The "r" (remote) commands rlogin rlogin logs you into a remote computer. Isn't that what telnet is for, you ask? Well, yes, but telnet is simply a direct connection to anoter computer, meaning it can actually be used as a client for anything (such as FTP, HTTP, etc.), while rlogin really is only good for remote terminal login. So what's the advantage of rlogin over telnet? It doesn't ask you to log in! After running rlogin, you're simply zapped into a remote terminal. Also, rlogin probably represents less of a security exploit than telnet (after all, we just know that crackers love telnetting to websites, right?)

rsh rsh is a one-command version of rlogin. rsh runs one command on the remote system, then returns you to your local computer. rexec rexec will execute a program on a remote system. It's password-based, unlike rsh (which seems to be the main difference between the two). rcp rcp (Remote CoPy) will copy files to or from the remote system. In other words, it's like FTP, much as rlogin is like telnet. 

LAN (Local-Area Network) commands

ifconfig Syntax: ifconfig devicename (ip address) netmask (netmask address) broadcast (broadcast address) Interface configure. Configures a network device. This is usually the first command you use in relation to a LAN. Suppose you wanted to configure eth0 (your first Ethernet device). You could do so with the following command: ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.1.1.255  This would set the device's IP address to 1.1.1.1, its netmask to 255.255.255.0, and its broadcast address to 1.1.1.255. Typing just "ifconfig eth0" will show the device's current interface configuration, without changing any settings.

route Controls routing by changing the routing table. The route command takes the basic sub-commands of add, change, and delete, which as you might guess will add an entry to the routing table, change an entry in the routing table, and delete an entry from the routing table, respectively. All of these commands take the following basic format: route [add|change|delete] destination gateway ...Where destination is the destination network (or host), and gateway is the destination gateway to be used to reach that network or host. As an example, a basic route command might look like this: route add 192.168.0.0 15.246.99.1 The above command would create a new routing table entry indicating that any traffic destined for the 192.168.0.0 network should be directed to the gateway host at 15.246.99.1. You can also create a default gateway, which is a "path of last resort" address which traffic should be sent to if it does not match any other route in the table. A default gateway is not something unusual on a LAN; In fact it's routine to have one, because the default gateway is usually the LAN's bridge to the Internet, since any traffic which doesn't match the system's routing tables (which are usually only filled with the LAN's internal IP addresses) should be sent to the gateway so it can go out over the Internet. To add a default gateway, you can use the default parameter to indicate a route as the default. So you'd use a route command like this: route add default gw 192.168.10.1 This would designate 192.168.10.1 as the address of the default gateway where any traffic bound for unknown destinations should go. The system with the address of 192.168.10.1 then bears the burden of directing that traffic. Typing just route without any parameters will display the current routing table on-screen. Note that although route is a handy command, in general it shouldn't be needed much, because routed, the routing daemon, is supposed to handle these kinds of tasks automatically. routed Routing daemon. In addition, many distros of Linux have their own built-in network configuration programs. For Red Hat, it's /usr/bin/netcfg, and for Slackware it's /sbin/netconfig.

iwconfig Sort of an ifconfig for wireless connections, iwconfig lets you configure settings for a wireless network link, including the network name you want to connect to (typically called the ESSID) and the WEP key to use, if any. lvnet The common text-mode command for setting up an Atmel-based Wi-Fi device, lvnet is where you go to set up which SSID you want to connect to, what radio channel and WEP key (if any) to use, etc.
