Are you dialing back domain investments as you wait for new TLDs?
Are new TLDs changing the way you approach domain investing?
Tucows filed its 10-Q yesterday. In the report, Tucows suggested that domain name investors may be proceeding cautiously with aftermarket domain purchases this year as they wait for new top level domain names:
We have two primary buyers for our domain names – domain investors and businesses. While businesses domain sales continue to grow, we have begun to see evidence of domain investors interest slowing as they attempt to assess the impact the introduction of new gTLD's may have on their businesses. Accordingly, until the impact of new gTLD's can be appropriately assessed, we will be shifting our efforts towards appealing more to businesses while continuing to work with domain investors.
There are many reasons domain investors may proceed cautiously this year with the knowledge that new TLDs are coming soon.
Many domain investors are applying for new TLDs themselves, and may be reserving cash to support those ventures. Others may be putting cash on the sideline to register new TLDs when they come out. Some may be worried about what effect new TLDs will have on their existing portfolio, and are therefore treading carefully.
On the other hand, I know some investors who are spending more this year than usual as they try to buy the .com equivalent of strings that will be released as top level domains.
What about you? Is the imminent release of new TLDs changing how you approach your domain business right now?

95% of the new gTLDs will go the way of .mobi.
The only only who is guaranteed to be making money on this whole mess is ICANN.
.mobi – over 1 million domains registered. Most new TLD applicants will be very satisfied with similiar results.
Since you are asking us I am very curious ,as are most,as to what you are doing. It seems very hush hush on the blogs about the release of the new GTLDs. Date? Registrars? etc….I know you can do the preorder on United but who knows if what you register you will actually get. Personally I think most of the "Dot com preachers" are going to be cheating on Dot Com very soon and buying up as many great keywords as they can in the new GTLDs but telling us all that they are not.
Nope. Not at all. I'm of the opinion that the new gTLD's are going to confuse the hell out of everyone.
Good phrases will be held for premium auctions, not like .com release where anything was reg fee game. .com will always be king, to much invested, it has just become untouchable for the average person.
Wouldn't say I'm ramping up… I'm always looking for good dot coms. I am targeting certain keywords now that I think may be easier acquisitions.
Just sticking with dot com. If that starts to tank…I'll just transition the IT segment of my investment strategy into some other field.
The Com's will get stronger as the dot whatever's will fail as .mobi, .pro, .whatever did. Just look at EMD's in these extensions. They are lucky to sell. Every company will want there .com one way or another.
I'm continuing to buy .com (and a select few .net and .org) domain names. The pending arrival of the new gTLDs is having little to no effect on my business.
I'm not doing anything different and basically are ignoring the new gtld's as i have with all other previous gtld releases. there are simply far too many at once to even bother looking at them/thinking about them. i'll just stick with what i know, let the risk takers have at these new things and see where we all stand when the dust settles.
@ David Gruttadaurio I do not agree that the new gTLDs and TLds are going to confuse anyone, ok; maybe some but for the most part it will not confuse people because most of us reply and access the internet for almost everything.
new TLD's will be scam like .XXX. They advertise so much and people got them with $100 per year fees and now it's going no where.Dot com will stay and people only knows dot com and it's easy to remember. And some big fishes are using this weakness to buy cheap dot com.
why realestate.com is sold for 355 million dollar last week by Trulia. They couldn't get their own .Property for less.

Glass Act
We recently received an email from an Imbibe reader looking for glasses like the ones used for the cocktails in the "Sherry on Top" feature in the current issue. This gave us the perfect excuse to talk about one of our favorite pastimes over here at Imbibe—finding interesting and unusual glassware, mixing and matching pieces, and sometimes thinking of unexpected uses for our discoveries. Those glasses are the perfect example because they're actually sold as candle holders (but they look much cooler with a cocktail inside)! In our constant search for new, gorgeous glassware, we've learned that sometimes you find it where you least expect it (and once you've worked around drinks long enough, everything becomes potential glassware). We also love serving things like lemonade or soda in small Mason jars, and another reader recently told us that she collected a full, matching set of peanut butter jars for use as water glasses. That's a lot of PB and J! You can also use vases as decanters or pitchers, and decorative chopsticks as swizzle sticks or stir rods. A clever perspective on glassware becomes especially handy as we dive into the holiday season, sometimes finding ourselves with more guests than Old Fashioned glasses. Is there something unexpected or underutilized in your cabinets? There's no better time to give it an inspired new purpose!

Thanksgiving with a Twist
If you're looking for something other than wine to pair with your Thanksgiving dinner, interesting options abound. In addition to helping to get the festivities going, cocktails can be great for pairing with your favorite holiday foods. Try the sparkling Belle de Jour from our current issue (page 34) with roast beef, or the pomegranate-packed Jefferson's Crimson cocktail (page 36) with turkey or venison. Beer is another fantastic match for food, and there are plenty of special brews to compliment your holiday spread. Brown ales go incredibly well with lamb, pilsners can pair perfectly with salmon, and stouts, of course, can be a decadent match for desserts, like chocolate pecan pie. Also think about specific styles of coffee and tea to go with your holiday sweets. An El Salvador coffee with notes of citrus, cinnamon and nutmeg can make a pear tart even more special, and a Darjeeling tea can be just right with a spicy ginger cake.
If you can't save room for dessert but you still want to cap off your meal with something sweet, try a glass of cream sherry or tawny port, or a sweet but spicy herbal liqueur, like Zwack. Let us know what you plan to drink with your holiday spread this year—we'd love to know what intriguing ideas you have up your sleeves!

More Wine, Less Attitude
We've all been there: reading certain wine tasting notes and thinking, "huh?" Part of the reason tasting notes sometimes seem so obscure is because taste is subjective and we all have unique palates that experience flavors differently. But knowing this can make it much easier to experiment with wine and not be afraid to really taste what you taste. As Gary Vaynerchuk says often on WineLibraryTV, the wine world is changing—it's much more about being fun and accessible rather than stodgy and intimidating.
Taking this concept to heart, the folks at Domaine547.com, an online wine shop whose site boasts "more wine, less attitude," have developed YouTaste TV. Powered by people in their homes with a video camera, they've invited one-minute tasting videos on their website. There are already a few videos submitted, and you can add yours. We'll be watching the YouTaste channel for some Imbibers to take the spotlight...so, get involved and make us proud!

Flu remains widespread in US; eases in some areas
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer January 18, 2013 11:39AM
FILE - In this Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013 file photo, Carlos Maisonet, 73, reacts as Dr. Eva Berrios-Colon, a professor at Touro College of Pharmacy, injects him with flu vaccine during a visit to the faculty practice center at Brooklyn Hospital in New York. Health officials say nine more deaths of children from the flu have been reported, bringing the total this flu season to 29. In a typical season, about 100 children die of the flu, so it is not known whether this year will be better or worse than usual.

Updated: January 18, 2013 11:46PM
Nine more children or teens have died of the flu, bringing the nation's total this flu season to 29, health officials reported Friday.
In a typical season, about 100 children die of the flu, so it is not known whether this year will be better or worse than usual.
So far, half of confirmed flu cases are in people 65 and older, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
This year's season is earlier than normal and the dominant flu strain is one that tends to make people sicker. The flu is widespread in all states but Tennessee and Hawaii and is starting to ease in some areas, the CDC said.
Health officials say it's not too late to get a flu shot to help protect against the flu. Vaccinations are recommended for anyone 6 months or older.
Last week, the CDC said the flu again surpassed an "epidemic" threshold, based on monitoring of deaths from flu and a frequent complication, pneumonia. The flu epidemic happens every year and officials say this year's vaccine is a good match for strains that are going around.
The government doesn't keep a running tally of adult deaths from the flu, but estimates that it kills about 24,000 people most years.

Being feminine is a characteristic that's normally associated with the female gender, but the world's views on gender norms are slowly changing, as proven with HommeMystere men's lingerie line.
From bras to fishnets, each of the garments were design to fit the body of a man, but with the details of femininity. The garments are featured with lace and stretchy satin that come in a multitude of designs.
It takes a great deal of self-assurance to be able to wear something like this. Not too long ago, wearing the color pink was considered a taboo in the male populace, so could it be just a matter of time til men's lingerie becomes a norm.

Both embedded video development kits offer interactive HD video communications for improved image quality and intelligent video encoding. The embedded development kits also provide up to a 5 times reduction in encoding bit rate for improved video quality and network bandwidth by leveraging Smart Codec Technology on TI's latest DaVinci video processor – the TMS320DM368.
The embedded USB camera development kit (DM368EUCDK) is intended for video camera applications that already have a host processor for video decoding such as set-top boxes, digital signage and kiosks. It integrates high definition (HD) H.264 encoding at 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps) and delivers superior video quality.
The embedded communications development kit (DM368ECDK) is perfectly suited for two-way video communications (encoding and decoding) up to 720p at 30 fps, including video conferencing, Web cameras, video blogging and interactive signage applications.
The kits' small form factor allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to easily embed a camera with video capabilities directly into their end products for more interactive and convenient video communications. Improved image quality at very low bit rates is made possible through advanced features in TI's fifth generation on-chip image signal processor (ISP) which includes noise filtering, video stabilization, face detection, auto white balance, auto exposure and edge enhancement. By providing this level of integration, small form factor and low price point, it enables numerous innovations such as allowing television OEMs to embed these kits in their end products to deliver HD video communications to consumers. Smart Codec Technology also allows HD video communication in homes with standard Internet access.
For more information on these embedded communications and camera development kits for the DM368, visit www.ti.com/edk-dm368-prpod-ee.

Working Dog Diary is a series of essays which reflect on the stockdog journey of Kay Spencer, the owner of Working Aussie Source. Previous chapters are located at the bottom of this page:
2005-2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2012 2013 2014
For a long time now, I have been wondering where the spaciousness in my life went. I can remember when I lived in San Francisco and nominally attended art school, sitting in a caffe in North Beach, nursing my double cappuccino — back when Americans by and large didn't know what those were — and writing slowly in my journal, watching people go by. I didn't have to be anywhere.
I used to often take day hikes, accompanied by a dog, carrying a sweater, a bottle of water, and a peanut butter and jam sandwich. I'd leave in the morning and come back perhaps at dusk, footsore and hungry, sometimes wet, always dirty. On occasion I had a map but I never had a plan.
I also passed some years where I did very little besides hole up in my tiny writing studio and write stories and novels. I'd come out, blinking in the sun, wondering what time of day it was.
All that open-endedness has utterly vanished, replaced with endless responsibilities, each acceptably sized and innocent, even joyous, of itself. But slowly they have bred, produced offspring, set up sprawling complicated households in me, until now they approach the quality of nightmare. The kind of nightmare which seems so ordinary at first, then slowly the color and tempo change, darken and tighten inexorably until . . . well, until you wake up.
It has taken many years to entangle myself so thoroughly in these habits and burdens. Most days I stumble exhaustedly through a triaged endlessly revised list of what can't wait any more. I periodically have tried to "fix things". But I always fail, because I have looked at it all with the same vision that got me here to begin with, peering only through the If Only Lens. If only I had a mudroom, or a sheep pasture, or a stockdog which lacked the faults of the dogs I have now. If only I could refinish the floor, replace the rotting deck, fix the latch on the gate, rescue that garden bed. Then I'd have time to walk the dogs on the beach, write letters on cream laid paper with my vintage fountain pen. Travel. What a delusion.
Somehow, I have come to a stopping place. The big empty. I see with a degree of finality that there is no end to If Only. I see that there is no path back to spaciousness, not on this road. I have to step off the road. And stand there for a while. Without starting again.
It took me a couple decades to get here, it's not going to be simple or quick to get out. And, if once I get out, what am I going to do? Ah!
Nothing. Spaciousness, remember? I am going to wait upon God. There is a deep resonant stillness in the heart of things which only is available when the mind's busy officious chatter is allowed to drift into inconsequence, when there is nowhere that must be gone. This stillness is extraordinarily elusive, it cannot be put on a to-do list or budgeted for. It has to be wooed and waited for, in an empty place.
Today I had a stockdog lesson with George. I was a little chagrined to realize that Hope and I have already developed similar issues to Bonnie and I, and Ty and I. Wonder why that is? Could it be that I have training handling habits that are going to have to somehow change? That I can't do the same things over and over and not get the same results?
Driving home, I thought of something that Ron Green (a man I have never met, but who seems to have the right attitude about stockdogging) recently said in an online discussion group: "Remember that when you step out into a field with your dog, you are walking on holy ground."
That's where I want to walk: on holy ground. I won't be able to find it unless I stop looking for it, that is the mystery and challenge. When I am aware of walking on holy ground, I can honor everything appropriately. I can let the universe show me its goodness. I even know what that feels like in a field, with my dog, and some sheep. It feels timeless. It feels sufficient.

I have interviewed Mark Sanford a number of times on air and in print. I have endorsed Mark Sanford every time for every office he has run for on air and in print. I like Mark Sanford.
I had just gone through a brutal divorce and was still suffering PTSD from that particular fog of war when Mark took his hike on the Appalachian Trail. I understood the whole succubus thing. I said so in print.
Then the apology tour started. I kept wanting for Joel Sawyer to rush in and shut him the hell up. He survived the ethics charges, but I grew silent. Just as William Jefferson Clinton's impeachment for me was about lying under oath to a federal grand jury — not sex, my long held admiration dropped a few notches. The man who made the moral case on the House floor had sinned out the ying yang ethically.
Because of my long held admiration, I wished him well on his way out. Have a good life… in business.
Meanwhile, South Carolina stepped into the Twilight Zone, politically.
First, there was Alvin Greene/Vick Rawl business. I have some inside on this and have it on authority it is a story of vindictiveness and pettiness at the heart of the South Carolina Democrat party in Columbia. The media wandered around with it's hands in its pockets whistling and whispering inside rumors of DeMint dirty tricks.
The year 2010 was the Tea Party and Nikki Haley. Much to the mainstream (local, state and national) media's chagrin, a total repudiation of Barack Obama's policies manifested..
Or not.
In 2012, the tea party was co-opted by the social issues wing of the Republican Party thus totally defusing the economic issue of the Gotterdamerung that ObamaCare will become.
Locally, the Twilight Zone became Night Gallery.
Lt. Governor Ken Ard had to resign, rightfully so, for misuse of campaign contributions, ripping long-time Senate President Pro-Tem Glenn McConnell from his seat where he had been the most dependable conservative, yet effective legislator, in a generation. That of course left Glenn's senate seat in play.
I was in Maine for the majority of 2012, so I missed much of this, but the way I understand it, Senator Jake Knotts of the Mid-lands, an old time Republican boss got an enemy disqualified because they didn't file a paper filing for office. I remember from running in 2011, you had to file electronically. The ethics website said that would suffice.
I could be wrong, but it was along those lines. No matter, that technicality knocked dozrns of Republicans out of primaries including District 41. Local attorney Walter Hundley managed to survive the dozens of lawsuits and Supreme Court rulings to serve out McConnell's term. Paul Thurmond won the general.
People in Maine were relieved at the shennanigins going on in the Palmetto State for it took national attention away from the peccadilloes in the Pine Tree State.
Last fall, Senator Jim DeMint resigned his seat to head the Heritage Foundation. Governor Haley appointed Charleston District One Congressman Tim Scott to that senate seat thereby leaving it vacant.
…And then the feeding frenzy began.
Sixteen, count 'em, 16 people, many who were and remain to this day ciphers, ran in the Republican primary. Among them was former Congressman and Governor Mark Sanford who, along with his conservative values, begged for redemption and another chance. Those 16 brought knives to a fist fight leaving former Charleston County Councilman Curtis and Mark Sanford in a death struggle, all the while the latter begged for redemption.
Well, he got it. After all the hubris and barbs, Mark Sanford seemed to achieved redemption and stood a great chance at trouncing his Democrat challenger Elizabeth Colbert-Busch.
Until he didn't.
Part of redemption is the whole "Go and sin no more" business.
Meanwhile that same day on Live5 News::
We'll get back to the erstwhile governor in a minute, but before we do, let's take a look at his opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch. Mrs. Busch's claim to fame is her famous brother, Stephen Colbert. During the bloodbath that was the Republican primary, Ms. Colbert-Busch ran one commercial. Thoughout that donnybrook, she appeared adult. AND SHE PROMISED JOBS… JOBS, I TELL YOU!!!
Steven Colbert came to Charleston for an exclusive and expensive fundraiser with the best and the brightest the local Democrats had to offer.
That's it. That's all we knew. While the Republican conflagration raged, all we knew was by by God, Elizabeth knows how to create jobs!!!
I was castigated by my Democrat Maine lawyer girlfriend here for a visit for being a curmudgeon when I pointed out the media would never ask the follow up question, "How?" I should note our dinner conversations are interesting to say the least.
Three weeks later, I still haven't heard that question.
Monday afternoon,April 15th, my girlfriend called me in tears. She was working at home because of Patriot's day watching a Red Sox game which was running long when the bomb exploded. Needless to say, I have been closer to this than you might think.
Tuesday morning: I decided to begin research this piece when this ad aired:
I don't want to be churlish, but that just smacks of mendacity.
Still, my attention went to day to day business and the Boston Marathon bombing on Tuesday.
Wednesday, I saw this:
Mark Sanford's Awful Day Deconstructed
2:20pm – Washington Post confirms with Jenny Sanford (via text message) that her sons' first encounter with their father's new fiancee was at his primary runoff victory party on April 2. Sanford told the paper, "That was indeed [their son] Bolton's first intro and both boys were quite upset and visibly so." WIS-TV has video below:
wistv.com – Columbia, South Carolina |
There was also this.
Politico: Republicans pull plug on Mark Sanford
and this:
Washington Post: Colbert Busch says she won't follow Any Party Line In New Ad
I spoke with my girlfriend Wednesday afternoon and she put on her most excellent family lawyer hat. No matter how you slice it, Mark Sanford violated an order of protection and faces some serious consequences if Jenny Sanford so desires.
What I find tacky is the kids meeting the fiancee onstage. It was close to a deal breaker for me.
Then my friend told me that Democrats in Maine were following this race and pouring money into Ms. Colbert-Busch's campaign.
I began to look into it and lo and behold,
Clyburn Likes Colbert Busch's Chances
The only media Thursday morning was : Post and Courier: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20130418/PC16/130419217/1006/a-day-that-changed-the-1st-congressional-district-race-for-mark-sanford
My reticence began to wane. Then I came across a columnThursday afternoon by Tara Servatius in the City Paper: Colbert-Busch's Deleted Tweets Reveal Her True Self. The host of Tara in the Morning n WTMA-AM .draws back the curtain on the suspected menadacity.
Ms Servatius wrote:
"They've gone so far as to decimate part of her Twitter account,wiping out 500 tweets she sent before she became the painfully bland, utterly "moderate" businesswoman you see every five minutes on television in campaign ads so mind-numbingly dull that if you played them in a loop while driving, you'd crash. She's for jobs, business, economic development, and, well, jobs, the ads say, clearly striving to position Busch as the vanilla, safe contrast to Mark Sanford, the Republican in the race…"
"…Her greatest passion, given the number of times she tweets about it, isn't jobs at all, but gay marriage and equal rights for homosexuals. Kudos to Hillary Clinton "for backing equal rights for our LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) friends" she tweeted in one of nearly a dozen tweets on the subject, "#LoveisLove…
"On Twitter, Elizabeth 1.0 is also passionately pro-choice, backed President Barack Obama's plan to raise the minimum wage, and has openly mocked the GOP's unwillingness to socialize medicine.."
But all of this puts Colbert Busch in the liberal wing of the Democrat Party in Washington. The problem with that is that in her latest ad, she promises to be "independent" and to never "take any special interest pledges or follow any party line."
Friday morning, April 19th, I expected the media megaphone to be raised in righteous indignation, but what I got was this: Post and Courier: No Appearances For Sanford While Colbert-Busch Talks Jobs.
"Mark Sanford didn't want to talk about his trespassing troubles Thursday, while Elizabeth Colbert Busch stole some of his playbook, focusing on jobs and the deficit."
The mainstream media (local, state, national) completely ignored the lies. In fact, the only thing about Mrs. Colbert-Busch appeared in the Atlanta paper: http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/apr/18/elizabeth-colbert-busch-fundraiser-atlanta-friday/
Okay, the local media ignored that.
Friday, I dealt with Maine again as the Watertown drama unfolded, so I missed this:
Well, Sanford may not have wanted to talk about his "trespassing problems," Thursday, but you couldn't shut him up on Friday.
Later that afternoon the P&C updated the article: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20130419/PC16/130419116/former-gov-mark-sanford-defends-super-bowl-visit-on-radio-today&source=RSS
Saturday, 4/20, The Post and Courier ran this: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20130420/PC16/130429952/mark-sanford-back-in-campaign-mode-comes-out-swinging-against-elizabeth-colbert-busch-in-1st-district-race&source=RSS
At the end of a very long article, this appeared in a rather "oh by the way" fashion:
"Divorce is a commonality the two candidates have. The Sanfords divorced in 2009 after he admitted his affair with Argentine-born Maria Belen Chapur, now his fiancee. Colbert Busch also had a difficult divorce and aftermath.
"She was granted a divorce from her first husband, Robert W. Legare, in August 1987. Court records show the couple continued to fight in court over unpaid child support, insurance and Legare's visitation rights.
"In November 1988, Family Court Judge Mendel Rivers Jr. issued an order saying they had "failed miserably" to resolve their differences in the children's best interest and ordered them both confined to the Charleston County jail for 24 hours."
Saturday night, the Charleston Times released this:
Sunday, April 21:
"For a few days, Colbert Busch was more publicly visible than Sanford, but by Friday, Sanford invited Colbert Busch to join him at any of 15 appearances in five days, starting at 11 a.m. Monday at Hay Tire Pros in Mount Pleasant…
"Colbert Busch was not expected to join him at any of the events. Asked about Sanford's invitation, Smith said nothing to indicate she would participate. 'Elizabeth has a very aggressive campaign schedule over the next three weeks,' he added.'
Okay, so where does that leave conservatives?
I live in District Six, so I don't have a dog in the fight. Many do, though. I imagine a lot of people on the fence, a lot of women, will stay home.
Don't. We can't afford to lose this seat.
For all of his moral and ethical failings, Mark Sanford wears his sins on his sleeve.
He is a conservative.
Which leaves Elizabeth Colbert Busch who seems intent on hiding who she really is. One wonders why she thinks that in the age of the Internet she can hide her associations with the most Progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
I am proud to be a called a Conservative.
If being a Progressive is so grand, why not shout it from the rooftops?
Why hide it?
Because you and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz are counting on that "low information voter" thing kicking in.
Hell, you could be right. You have the local mainstream media on your side.
Let's hope alternative and "new media" really works.
Let's also hope that we stay out of the damned national news for a year or so.
UPDATE: Sanford is scheduled to appear on Rocky_D's show on Monday, 4/2: http://wqsc1340.com/index.php/features-mainmenu-47/rocky-d-3pm-6pm/the-rocky-d-audio-vault

And now...when i looked...it said "In Loving Memory of Jesshael"...AWWWWWW its so sad her daughter died....only 9 months her daughter lived :(
I feel sooo sad now...my friend is only 16 or 17 and she has already lost someone that never really got to see life at all...it's sad how life is so short.
Aw, that's tragic :(
~May the spirits guide your every move...to assure you please her in all the right places XD
it's so sad when babies die. your poor friend. i can only imagine how hard going through that must be
wow that is terrible :( Everyone talks about how life is so short yet they live to be 100, this baby only lived 9 months, it barely go to live. I feel so bad for your friend.

Took a look at their forum and can't figure out what this is or how to take action. I've run scans and nothing has come up. If AVAST took action on it, why does it pop up almost daily with the same message? Jane |
Follow-Up Postings:
people are getting rid of avast now because of just what you are seeing. Avast trying to sell you the paid version. What I'd do is uninstall Avast ,, use the remnoval tool to make sure its mostly gone. Install the www.360safe.com run it.. uninstall it.. and decide to reinstall avast or not. Think I'd go with plain old Microsoft Security Essentials .. but I'm not on windows xp where you might want to pay for a premium kapersky or something. |
Avast ripped off my elderly mother. Their operators called her every day from India trying to guilt trip her into buying their services after my son fixed her computer and wiped them off the memory. Avoid them. |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Thu, Jul 17, 14 at 17:39
So far I have had good luck with Avast, but I have had the paid version for about 3 years now. Even when I had to crash the who computer etc when I went to Windows 7, this program came right back on. I had trouble with Norton as they let Trojan viruses in twice and wanted me to pay 90.00 to fix the computer even with the warranty I had with them. The guy got real nasty with me over the problem. But DH never had problems. |
I have seen this warning from Avast more than once but I would expect it to happen every time you land on a web page that is infected (or on a page that Avast thinks is infected...it could be a false positive). If you are repeatedly visiting the same web sites and getting the warning, I would either stop using those sites or report them to Avast to be checked out more thoroughly. |
Thanks all. I get the message when I boot the computer. I'm not on line at all. I tried to find more info on this. I have tried to post the information I found but GW keeps blocking my post saying I'm posting profanity or illegal content!! According to Wikipedia, this is a form of virus. GW won't let me type the name. I have tried to rearrange my post so many times, I'm not sure it makes sense but GW keeps deleting my post. I don't understand what this all means but said it is involved with servers or blogs? I don't have a blog although I have read a few. There is also a suggestion about Java, but again, I don't understand. I can't offer what I discovered because Garden Web won't let me. I looked at the AVAST forum but they are old posts going back to 2010-2011. So I'm wondering if I'm infected as the warning keeps popping up? I haven't had any problems with the computer, all my scans come out clean but it seems this is something which changes code? I don't understand all the technicals of computers and not sure how to proceed. Wow, I just tried to give the link to Wikipedia and got a warning from GW that I was posting an illegal link. What the heck! Jane |
I just wanted to add, if you Google my screen shot of the 'infection' you will see the info I got. Sorry, the GW Gods don't seem to like what I'm trying to explain. Jane |
Hi Jane, ". I can't offer what I discovered because Garden Web won't let me. " That's the problem with the Garden Web, I can't ask for log reports because the Garden Web rejects them, it's impossible to work Malware here, that was the main reason we move users to landz down. To make an accurate diagnose of your computer a log file is required. If you want more help and a complete review of the computer via log files: Please join the forum below (Help2go) and I'll assist you there. Thanks See link |
Here is a link that might be useful: help2go
Just let me know your there. You don't need to run Malwarebytes, SuperAntispyware, or Hijackthis. I'll give you a scan to run called OTL. |
Because they are trying to sell you the full version or pro version as many are called, which are not needed for home use, so ignore it. They need to make money one way or another but not on me! never!! |
Thanks, Joe. I will do that tomorrow. I appreciate your help. It makes no sense why GW is not allowing a member to post a problem. I wasn't trying to even post a log. Just the name of the virus and a link to Wikipedia! I spent over a half our trying to figure out what was the offensive material and I finally had to delete the name of the infection and the Wiki link. This IS a Computer Forum! If GW was smart, they could draw more traffic to the site if they allowed people to post the problems they have. Its late now and I don't want to start something I won't be able to finish. I'll go to the site you mentioned and sign up. Aputernut, I just want to be safer than sorry. I'm still on XP and want to make sure I haven't picked up something. Thanks again, |
Hmm ... I'ld just run malwarebytes antimalware and then uninstall your avast and switch to Avira ... I've never had this kind of issue with Avira. |
- Posted by chuggerguy (My Page) on Sun, Jul 20, 14 at 0:13
"... I spent over a half our trying to figure out what was the offensive material ..." Just a guess... Probably the i f r a m e tag is what Gardenweb doesn't like. There are other possibilities but in this case, it's likely the < i f r a m e > tags. If there's not very many, perhaps you could add spaces between the letters like this: Wow, I can't even mention the word i f r a m e, let along use it in a tag. :) |

Hi Mark, welcome to NST.
After Ubuntu 8.04, grub syntax changed and EasyBCD 1.7 didn't support the change.
Support was included in EasyBCD 2.0, but to be honest, I've never come across the situation where someone used Easy2 with an old release of Ubuntu, and I'm not sure whether Guru included backwards compatibility or not.
Try using EasyBCD 1.7 to add the Linux entry (don't tick the box, unless Linux is on a different HDD from the BCD. Ticking the box installs Neogrub to bridge between the HDDs (overcoming a grub bug))
If you need Neogrub, uninstall any previous version first.

Angelenos air frustration over helicopter noise at public meeting
Grant Slater/KPCC
An LAPD helicopter flys low over Figueroa Street during a counter-terrorism demonstration in Downtown.
Angelenos love to complain about how loud helicopters are, and last night, residents were given an opportunity to air those grievances. Homeowners, pilots and representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration attended a meeting held by Congressman Adam Schiff to talk about solutions to helicopter noise.
KPCC's Erika Aguilar joins the show with more.

The Scotland school is looking for an architecture team to restore the 1909 building that was damaged in a fire in May.
Don't miss these exhibitions, panels, films, and competitions at New York's month-long architecture and design festival.
Rem Koolhaas's own exhibitions at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale May have missed the mark, but his influence as chief curator brought out the best in the national pavilions.
A peek inside starchitect's houses, Daniel Libeskind and Marina Abramovic are new fast friends, and other moments from the exhibitions and installations of i Saloni.
To support the intersection of—you guessed it—art and technology, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has awarded grants of up to $50,000 to artists whose works exemplify the experimental.
The Milwaukee Art Museum reveals plans for a new 17,000-square-foot addition, pundits continue to rethink Citi Bike, and more news.
Grigory Revzin, whose design for the Russian Pavilion won the jury prize at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale, has been fired after posting commentary critical of Vladimir Putin.
The 2014 Salone Internazionale del Mobile kicks off today in Milan, and ARCHITECT contributor Ian Volner was on the scene in the city's Zona Tortona, where exhibitions abound and Marcel Wanders was playing mixologist.
This exhibit is a "creative misuse" of the CAC, turning parkour into art and making good use of Zaha Hadid's design.

[1434] Bacterial 16s rRNA Gene Sequencing in the Routine Diagnostic Laboratory.
Jason D Pimentel, Linoj P Samuel, Robert J Tibbetts, Lisa Whitely, Sally M Dubedat, Evan LN Dodds. Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI; Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia; Sydney University Prince Alfred Macromolecular Analysis Centre, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Background: Sequencing DNA for bacterial identification has become more practical due to automated genetic analyzers and alignment software. The literature suggests that identification of bacterial isolates by 16S rRNA gene sequence is more accurate than commercial biochemical kits and should be used to identify any clinically significant isolate with less-than-excellent commercial identification. However, debate has arisen regarding the selection of databases used for identification. Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of the free databases available with the online BLAST program and evaluate the utility of sequence-based identification in a routine diagnostic laboratory.
Design: 44 isolates (aerobes, anaerobes, mycobacteria) with known identifications (18 ATCC, 26 patient samples) from two different institutions were evaluated. DNA was extracted from isolated colonies using commercial spin columns or by 10 minutes at 95oC. A monochrome (SYBR green I), real-time PCR was used to amplify and detect 500 base pairs of the 16S rRNA gene using either a Rotor-Gene RG-3000 (Corbett) or a SmartCycler 16 (Cepheid). BigDye Terminator 3.1 chemistry (Applied Biosystems,) and either a 3100 or 3730xl DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems) was used to sequence the real-time PCR product. A BLAST match was then performed with the following parameters: Database nucleotide collection (nr/nt); Exclude models (XM/XP) and uncultured/environmental sample sequences; Optimize for highly similar sequences (megablast). Matches with the highest max scores were evaluated for clinical relevance (e.g. non-human pathogens excluded) and reputable source (reference strain or published biochemical characters). Close matches were further evaluated by comparison of biochemical characters.
Results: Sequence alone provided genus-level identification in 98% of isolates. Species/species complex/species group-level identification was achieved in 93%. There was no differentiation between the genera Leclercia and some Enterobacter spp; Enterococcus durans (ATCC 6056) and E. faecium; or Bordetella bronchiseptica, B. pertussis, B. parapertussis and B. holmesii.
Conclusions: The methods and results described were reproducible and practically applied in two different routine diagnostic laboratories using different types of equipment. Moreover, use of the free databases provided reliable identifications for pure colonies with a completed biochemical profile.

BELGAUM: Rev. Peter Machado, bishop of the Belgaum diocese, said the authorities of the University Hospital Galway in Ireland may be citing the law to cover up its mistakes in the death of Dr Savita Halappanavar.
He told TOI: "I don't know which law the hospital authorities are talking about. Is it canonical law or the law of Ireland? Both are different," he said.
"No religion allows the killing of human beings. If there's any law against this principle, it should be changed. In the Catholic Church, abortion is considered a sin. Mother Teresa said if mother can kill a child in her womb, she'd be capable of killing anyone. In exceptional cases, if the mother's life is at risk, doctors must save her life and in that process, if anything happens to the child, it's God's grace", he said.
The bishop asked why doctors hadn't followed their professional law, the Hippocratic Oath of saving lives. He said, "If they failed to save her life, they should be blamed. I think there was some carelessness on the part of doctors in the Savita case, and to cover it up, they're pointing the finger elsewhere," he said.
According to a report in The Irish Times, the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin expressed his distress at some of the reactions to Savita's death. He challenged assertions that Ireland was not a safe country in which to be pregnant.

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at U.S. Army Healthcare full-time (more than 8 years)
ProsI was a Nurse Corps Officer and there were/are many opportunities for personal and professional growth. Apart from my "job" as a nurse, I was afforded many opportunities at a young age to take on special projects, lead Soldiers and civilians, and just do otherwise neat stuff. I got to travel the world many times over, meet exciting people, and make life long friends. Overall, the compensation and benefits are great compared to your civilian peers.
If you're willing to take on some personal hardship and lifestyle changes, joining the Army honestly may be the best thing for you. It totally changed my family tree.ConsThe Army Medical Department is very slow and cumbersome. We use antiquated, 1980's-era charting systems and techniques for the delivery of our care. Common sense solutions that are available off-the shelf right now can't be used in medical facilities (IT software, charting, billing techniques, referral procedures, etc.)
Although I'd like to believe that the people in the Army have a higher set of values, sadly that's not true. There are a lot of people who lie, cheat, and steal. Adultery, verbal abuse, hostile work environments are common.
You will move often. That was fine when I was young and single. But as a father and husband, it has been murder on my family. I missed the birth of my first child because of jerk leaders without souls.Advice to ManagementAdviceMission first, people always. It's not just a saying, it's our way of life. I wish more than 25% of you actually believed in this and demonstrated ethical leadership. It's sad to have to watch all the good ones go because of their frustration.

Should spouse pay rent?
My spouse, Jessie, says I should pay rent while I say that a marriage does not include one spouse paying rent to the other. While the idea of paying rent to my spouse does not seem right to me, I am open to whatever the right thing to do is; hence I'm posting to this forum in hopes of getting feedback as to what other couples in similar marriages are doing. Here are the relevant details (I apologize for the length; I am not good at being succinct): We've been married four years, and we each have two children from previous marriages; Jessie's two live with us full time (the oldest is currently living at University) and my two were already out of the house by the time we got married, so they never lived with us. We had what I thought to be a reasonable arrangement to cover expenses:
When all is said and done, the amount of money I have given to Jessie, after accounting for common expenses, is equal to ~10% of the house value. It is important to note that this is over and above the amount I have already paid for common expenses. This extra 10% that has been at Jessie's disposal has provided for many things that Jessie would not have been able to do alone:
In essence, I have subsidized our household such that we could afford all of these things, thereby providing a certain "quality of life" that would otherwise not have been possible. While discussing how we should setup our trusts, I suggested that if something happened to Jessie that the house would be sold and I should receive ~10% of the proceeds, while Jessie's children should receive the remaining ~90%. If something happens after 10 years, my share would be ~25%, based on my continued excessive contribution to our families' finances. As time marches on (after 20 to 25 years) we would finally end up with pooled resources and assets, so if something happened to Jessie after this time, I would receive 50% and Jessie's children would receive 50%. BUT NO!!
"Okay fine", I think to myself. Then I say, "I want to be fair to both of us, so I think that since you do not want to pool resources and assets that I have been contributing waaaay too much money and the current situation is very unfair to me." To me, I am Jessie's spouse who provides much more in intangibles as a spouse and as a parent than I already do in extra money. Some of the intangibles (I am more involved with Jessie's child (Casey) than Jessie is in many important ways):
Here is the crux of the problem: While we are coming to terms with how to reconcile the extra money I've given to Jessie, we are still very much disconnected in regards to my paying rent. To me, I am not a roommate who pays rent; I am a spouse and a parent in a family unit. To Jessie, since I don't want to continue paying extra money, I should pay rent in order to help with the mortgage payments; to me, this is ridiculous: if Jessie wants to keep all finances separate, then Jessie need's to pay for Jessie's own stuff; I already add a lot of intangible benefits to the family, only a short list of which is pointed out above. Plus, with my paying half of all the expenses, Jessie's expenses are actually less than if we were not married… BTW, note that we each make reasonable money, but with significant monthly college expenses for the oldest child, Jessie is starting to feel a bit pinched. After all of that, I again pose the question: should I pay rent to my spouse? Thanks very much for any insight (and sorry for the long winded post)! Best regards,
Follow-Up Postings:
You lost me a little bit on this one with the comment about "extra money". It seems to me you are already paying your fair share with all the extras. I don't agree that married couples should have their money seperate and I also think its ridiculous that a husband wants his wife to pay rent. However, if thats what he wants, so be it, give him fair market value for the rent, and stop paying all the other things you pay. (The vacations, school tuition, etc). I'm betting after a few months of this, he'll change his mind. One other thing stands out to me even more than any of this. Where is your future, your retirement? If it were me, I would be selling this house right now, and buying a house that we both "purchased" together. This is always going to be "his" house. You need to have some security, especially if you are contributing. |
re-marriages with previous kids can get a bit dicey but what you've described is more than a little pedantic. The idea of "rent" being somehow separate and discrete from all other contributions is particularly annoying. The prospect of having to keep careful tabs on everything is a recipe for constant bickering. There are almost always differences between spouses in amounts and nature of their contributions. If your wife is going to be this picky about how your affairs are conducted and accounted for, you've got a miserable life ahead. How long have you been married? Is this rental obsession of hers new or have you always had money quarrels? Depending on both of your mindsets about such things, perhaps a counselor's help with a post-nuptial agreement would be in order. Don't let this nonsense fester. This issue needs to be put to bed permanently. |
I'm curious about this post. Kelly is a brand new poster. I'm wondering if it isn't a Psych 101 experiment tracking how many of us jump to what gender conclusions about Him taking advantage of Her, Her attempting to cheat Him, Him being picky with Him, or Her micromanaging Her... So Kelly - Care to fill in some gaps? ;-) |
- Posted by kellyz2009 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 16:20
Hi sweeby, I understand your skepticism; all I can do is state that this is no experiment; I wish it were, but I am actually living this scenario, bizarre as it is... BTW, I posted this in one other forum, "Stepfamilies", because I did not know which one was the best fit. If you go there you'll see many more posts, including my recent follow-up that actually answers your points. Thanks and regards, |
sweeby, I had the exact same thought. |
Kelly, is your wife terming it "rent" or is that your word? Is she saying that you should contribute to the remaining cost of the house (mortgage) or actually saying "rent"? Does she work? Do you work? Does she ever pay any of the expenses that you said you do? I don't have an opinion for you yet, just trying to get some more info so I can weigh it more. Suzieque |
- Posted by kellyz2009 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 21:35
Hi Suzieque, Yes, rent is her term, used in the same breath with, "I have a mortgage to pay and now I have this large monthly college expense for my kid; you can't live here for free! I can get a thousand guys to move in here and pay rent!" I agree with her that she will have no trouble getting as many guys as she wants to move in and pay her rent; but I'm not convinced (unless they are independently wealthy) that she will get many guys who will marry her, be a father to her children (doing most of the parenting "chores" as she sees them, though to me it's a joy and very rewarding), pay half of the common expenses, and pay her rent (this actually is what I'm really trying to find the conventional wisdom on, if that makes sense…) We both work and we each make reasonable salary; and the expenses? I have been paying for pretty much everything, and when all is said and done, I have paid significantly more (over and above common expenses) than I would have had her intention of not allowing even partial ownership in the house been clear. And yes, we know, we were stupid and naďve and should have figured this out before we married, but… water off a ducks back at this point… Kelly |
- Posted by western_pa_luann (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 22:16
got the same idea, sweeby... no "his", no "him" etc... VERY deliberately contrived..... |
".....you can't live here for free! I can get a thousand guys to move in here and pay rent!" That is really obnoxious! Assuming this post isn't a hoax, I'm going to ignore everything else but this statement. A normal husband -- good, bad, or in-between -- would have stopped the presses at the instant such a thing was spoken. ( Ladies, imagine your reaction if your husband said such a thing to you.) Nothing good there. All bad. And, perhaps more to the point if your description of the existing arrangement is anywhere close to accurate, quite intolerable. |
- Posted by biwako_of_abi (My Page) on Fri, Jan 9, 09 at 0:18
I was also thinking it was strange that the gender of the spouse was not clear. And it is still more strange that rather than simply saying, "I am the husband," or "I am the wife," which would go far towards clearing up people's doubts, Kelly wants us to go to another forum and do a search for his/her posts in order to find out. I don't buy that. |
It's funny, I thought from the start Jessie was a "she" (boy Jesse's spell the name without an "i") and Kelly was a "he" (though with all the speculation I did start to wonder if maybe they were a lesbian couple). I think OP made his post genderless because people on these forums (especially the Stepfamily) often take the woman's side even when it is possibly not justified, and wanted an answer that was untainted by gender assumptions. |

biwako, Apologies for not simply copying and pasting it into this forum as I'm doing now; I am new to this forum thing and have been going back and forth between this one and the Stepfamilies forum, in between tying to work and deal with all of this with my wife; I didn't think of the inconvenience of looking at the other one. Here it is: ================================================== As some have suggested, we are in counseling and have been for ~two months; we are also (assuming we can work through this) considering to purchase another property together that we will live in, thus leaving the current house for her to do with as she wishes. The problem persists though on how to reconcile the imbalance in financial contribution over our four years of marriage, since her intention of not allowing even partial ownership is now clear, and also due to her insistence on my paying rent over and above our common expenses. BTW, we are in a community property state, but really to me that is irrelevant unless we end up divorcing; is what I want to do is understand the fair and equitable thing to do for both of us so that we can work this out. BTW2, this is interesting because from all the responses it would seem I'm the wife, but actually I'm the husband; Jessie is my wife... I intentionally wrote this to be gender neutral because my wife says expectations are different depending on which gender is in which position. Again, my intention is to do what is fair and equitable, so if conventional wisdom is such that your responses would now be different please feel free to say so and please let me know what the difference would be. Again, thank you very much for your insight That's the end of the post I was referring to, hope it helps everyone to better understand what's going on. Asolo, Collenoz, |
Sorry for stirring up the 'gender-obfuscation' pot -- and I can see why you did it. That said, I'm completely in agreement with Asolo about the outrageous stench of Jessie's "I can get any number of guys" statement. Sadly, she seems to have the "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine too" bug, and I don't think that's curable. Either way, I think it's clear that she's looking after HER own financial interests, and that therefore, you'll have to protect your own. |
I totally agree with sweeby. |
I am one of the ones that totally thought "kelly" was the wife and Jessie was the husband, however, my answer is the same, no matter who the wife is, and who the husband is. A marriage is not like two people living together sharing expenses. Everything is done "together" regardless of who puts in what, where and when. |
"...as a couple have deeper issues that are probably the real culprit, and that unless we get those understood and resolved, the money thing won't even matter..." Yup. Money matters are usually the familiar scapegoat. It's easier to understand and explain than personal issues which are more frequently the real problem. |
Maybe if you mention the state you live in I could give you some advice you didn't ask for but would profit from knowing -- --legal advice. That would change everything because altho your wife/husband/domestic partner thinks that house is all theirs no matter how much you contribute it isn't true in many states. |
Maybe you have posted on other forums, but if you did it was under a different name. If you click on your user name it shows when you first registered to post. In your case, that your be January 7, 2009. Hmmmm! |
patti, he did post on Stepfamilies. It's right there, very easy to find, using the same name (see link below). The post date is Jan. 8. What does his registration date of January 7 matter? |

Far Cry 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.01
Timedemo or Level Used: Ranch Long
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.farcry2.com/
Buy It Here
The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.
Like we've seen in most of the benchmarks, the HD 5670 doesn't offer us the ideal FPS at these high settings when gaming at 1680 x 1050. Attacking the detail levels, though, and we can lift that minimum up to 30 FPS.

I know it is getting warm in US. Yet during the cold winter time, the earth and fragrant plants seem in bleak dormancy.
You can prepare yourself to have fragrant plants now for the winter. There are Wintersweet and fragrant Camellias. If your place is too cold for camellia, you can keep the fragrant camellia in a pot and move it indoor during freezing strom. |

longriver, I have a hughe sweet olive tree in a big pot that I take outside every May until October, then I bring it inside for the winter. In November, it starts to bloom and the smell fills the whole room it is in. It is potent. This year, it actually bloomed heavily til the end of June. It was full of flowers from November through the end of June. Smelled great! I am going to have to cut it down for this fall though, it is getting too big for me to carry up the stairs in the cold weather. I'm sure it will be OK. It is definately worth the trouble when it starts to bloom all winter and it smells like summer. Love it! |
Butterfly4u:Thanks for your information: I am collecting a few varieties of O.manthus. Did you purchase your Sweet Oliver locally? Do you have any information about your cultivar? American native Sweet Oliver has a long blooming time. If you are in cold area and also fool the nature by placing the plant indoor; which might extend the flowering duration. |
Quite a few fragrant winter blooming things for SF Bay Area gardens. Jasminum polyanthum/Pink Jasmine for one, Daphne odora, Paperwhite Narcissus, Pittosporum undulatum and Pittosporum tobira can often bloom in winter here in Berkeley. Fragrant foliage to be brushed against at any season might include Coleonema pulchrum and Prostanthera ovalifolium, and if you have room for a large growing tree, the Lemon Gum/Eucalyptus citriodora, is wonderfully fragrant if you crush the foliage. Osmanthus fragrans also easily blooms outdoors in winter here by the bay, so no need to bring it indoors. |
My potted orange and lemon trees usually bloom in January. heavenly! |
Great ideas! bahia and annebert Yes I have a huge Daphne odor and many others. In Bay Area, we have more choice. I am at Orinda on the other side of hill. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Peaches!
Facts about Peaches
- Breed: Pekingese
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Peaches's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Complete our on line application on our web site: www.potomacpekes.org We require a home visit and vet reference. We do not transport our Pekes.....
Peaches is a 4 year old Pekingese. She was an owner surrender to a local shelter. She was surrendered due to nipping a child. She will not be adopted to a family with children. She did not break the skin. More of a warning. Once she has had all her medical she will be up for adoption. She is being fostered in No. Va. Complete our on line application if you are interested in adopting Peaches. Her adoption fee is $350. We require a home visit and vet reference. She did great with getting a bath and being brushed out.
UPDATE FROM PEACHES' FOSTER MOM:She's sweet. When I come she sometimes stands on her hind legs, puts her front paws together and then paws at the air to ensure she has your attention. She loves attention, but will also lay quietly beside you or on your lap. She gives kisses. She's not afraid of any household noises. She alerts at noise from the outside, and so announces company, but warms up to them as soon as they are in the house. She does not seem interested in toys...she's rather you pet her or play with her. She gets along with other small dogs (I don't know about big dogs or cats), but is more interested in her people than her dog housemates. She has not appeared to be food aggressive. She was no problem to bath or clip the mats from between her paw pads or from behind her ears. She behaved well at the vets. She is house trained and also uses piddle pads.
Other Pets at Potomac Valley Pekingese Rescue - Richmond Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peaches, a Richmond Pekingese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pekingese for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Pekingese dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pekingese breeders who help with Pekingese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

We Are Proudly A Minority Owned Institution
If you are having difficulty making your mortgage payments, one of the most important things you can do is be proactive. Review the terms and conditions of your mortgage, learn about the foreclosure process for residents in your state and what may lead up to it, and find out more about the resources on a local, state and national level available to assist you in working with your lender and your finances.
What is foreclosure? In the contract you signed when your mortgage lender loaned you money to buy your house, you agreed that if you can't repay the loan, the lender can foreclose to take ownership of the house. If you do not pay your monthly mortgage payment, you are technically in default on your mortgage. State laws vary, but generally, a loan that is as little as 90 days delinquent can be considered in foreclosure. Your lender may send you a notice indicating that they are starting foreclosure proceedings, but don't wait; take steps to prevent a foreclosure as soon as you realize you are having trouble paying the mortgage.

Pregnant women who exercise reduce the chances of their child becoming obese later in life according to a New Zealand study.
Doctors say that regular, moderate aerobic exercise has an impact on nutrient stimulation of fetal development leading to a reduction in birth weight, which may have long-term health benefits.
"The modest reduction in birth weight in this study may lead to a long-term reduction in the risk for obesity in offspring of women who exercised in pregnancy," Dr. Paul L. Hofman of the University of Auckland and his colleagues wrote.
The new study found that babies born to mothers who regularly exercised averaged 143 grams lighter than those who did not and also had a lower body mass index.
The lighter infants were not shorter in length and there was no evidence they lacked nutrition.

In my current house our foyer coat closet allows for the ceiling light to come on when the doors are opened. Ceilings are 8'. But the closet is full with coats and my frustration is that the light doesn't penetrate through the coats to illuminate the floor area where the boots, shoes are stored. So I'm constantly on my hands and knees pushing long heavy coats aside looking for shoes, making a worse mess as I throw a mini tantrum in the dark. In our new home our ceilings are 10'6" so the front closet is tall. I'm looking for ideas/suggestions on how to incorporate additional lighting around the floor area so the closet is illuminated from the top and the bottom. |
