For the longest time I tried my hand at freelance web design. I didn't try that hard though. Turning jobs down that were too time consuming etc. And I didn't even try to sell it. I have done about 10 or so sites for others. And I did not really enjoy it. I enjoyed coding it. But I did not enjoy dealing with procrastinating flakes. All awhile I was creating tons of tutorials and demos to keep busy. I started to see a little advertising money trickle in. That sparked my interest. Now I have switched domains and the look of my site to cater to advertising instead of freelance web design jobs. I am now 100% focused on purely the advertising money in it.
I currently have two privateers advertising on my site and have adsense setup. The privateers paying me $70 a month and adsense seems to be at about $100 per month. So currently bringing in about $170 a month not lifting a finger other than making the tutorials. Once my Alexa and google page rank bounce back up from my domain move I will be able to be accepted into more aggressive forms of advertising like buysellads, infolinks, and etc. Then I should see that monthly amount climb significantly. My goal is to eventually see $500 per month. I have two well paying jobs already. So I just need this to occupy my brain and give me another stream of money.
Now that the advertising number is north of $100 per month this gives me greater incentive to pump out more tutorials and push my seo. Basically every high ranking tut I do gives me another 1000 visitors per month. Which means another couple of bucks. Currently I'm at about 40,000 visitors per month. My goal is to get that above 100,000 and then I can crack into the big bucks of advertising.
So... how much do you make? What are the tricks of the trade that you found most beneficial? Share the love! And I will too!
Really helping and informative post it is! I likes this plan and happy to see useful information on advertisement campaigns. I will use to practice some points t generate traffic flow on my websites.
wow what a source of invaluable information. you guys are so helpful. anyone know of any forums where they actually participate?
That's good traffic volume. You're doing something right. What site is that on? Is it websitecodetutorials because that site is not showing that amount of traffic where I checked.
I think web surfers are becoming more and more accustomed to ads and are ignoring them. So it's difficult to get high click-through-rates on ads. You can improve click throughs using different sizes, positioning, etc. It seems in the sidebar especially, clickthrough can be very low. I've tested this myself using heatmaps.
If I was you, I'd think of a better long term source of income like an informational product or membership service if you want to make more. If you just want to stick with the advertising income, then you're on the right track of increasing content and traffic. The next step will be increasing CTR.
Howdy. theres a screen shot i just took showing estimated traffic. and my "allstats" is my cpanel show 40,000. what did you use to view stats? its a new domain so one month to the next may have been different for you. membership would be nice. But I have nothing to sell
>>> So... how much do you make? What are the tricks of the trade that you found most beneficial? Share the love! And I will too!
Best advice is to stick to your day job Reasons being that you are not in control of your traffic and rely upon third parties that decimate sites overnight for the benefit of their own adverting investors.
One of my sites once peaked at just over 100,000 pages per day... Google "not enough cash to pay for the electric my mouse"
Alright made a $100 bucks my first 30 days. Not bad
I was looking at SEMRush to check traffic but it's not showing much. Maybe because it's a new domain. My next question is how did you get that much traffic so fast. Did you redirect an old site? I seem to remember seeing another thread about this but maybe it wasn't you. It's a large site to be built so fast so I'm assuming you transferred it over from another domain.
Ya I just moved it from another domain with is 301 to the new. My PR is still Zero and my Alexa is still in the 400,000's so I can't get approved for other advertising networks until those metrics bounce back up. Then I will add another 2 or three ad types.
I made $9.70 yesterday. That's awesome for doing nothing. Bought my beer for the night
Not bad, with that amount of traffic, you should be able to create a decent residual income. Maybe not if you only focus on advertising though.
John_Betong...your post is a little uninspiring. You must have been slapped around by the search engines. If we look at things that way, we might as well all give up doing anything online.
No it is more of a challenge to find a solution! The fun of programming especially when the goal-posts keep changing.
I feel another Google Update is imminent
"F-ing a bit fat LAME! Just got a email from google saying they are disabling my adsense account. I was up to the $90 mark. Their min payout is $100. Cheap scakes.
Scouts honor I have done nothing to violate their rules. All I do is put out one tutorial a day. I am very irritated. This type of stuff has happened to me my whole life. I need to disappear into the crowd more. But I don't. Again I obviously stuck out like a sore thumb. Raised some alarm. I will appeal it. Plead my case.
It's pretty lame if you consider the following. Lets say I wanted to disable someone's adsense account. All I would have to do is go to their site every day for 2 weeks (prob less) and click on their ads a couple times. Done - disabled. They need a better metric for disabling accounts.
On a small plus side maybe this will force me to get other ad network. Adsense was destroying my page load times. I used to have a speedy site. Now it's a sluggish pile. Even after its loaded."
I have had my adsense withdrawn twice and managed to get it back both times. It took about a fortnight both times and meanwhile no income
As mentioned in my post #6:
Hopefully you get your site back to square one in the very near future, they are quite reasonable as long as you conform to the rules.
Couldn't find my previous thread. I had my adsense account open for three and a half weeks. I was on target to make $120 the first month. Then google banned me. Maybe she thought that was too good for the first month no idea. I appealed it with a real and very convincing response. With screen shots and the whole bit. Showing my cpanel and anylitics. Google responded with another NO. So lame as I did no wrong. I'm not dumb enough to risk a good thing. Anyways totally lame. Google banned my IP. So it would be very impractical to even try for another account. Much less most likely futile. Don't know why they would think 500+ awesome content pages would be bad. Not very happy about it. Now I have to look for alternatives. But know one else will except me until my PR goes back up because of my domain move. So now I just twiddle my thumbs.
That's a shame and a bad move from Google. I do wonder what they do and how they are so sure that an account should be banned, that it is breaking their terms of use. Did they give you any explanation?
You Can Use The Adword Or Other Alternatives Of The Google Adword.
Under Google's Adsense Program Policies, it says
You have a page offering high PR links for sale, and also appear to be offering links in exchange for donations ...

You are spot on. That should of occurred to me. Maybe I should not flaunt that so obviously. The two should have nothing to do with one another but they obviously might. Sites give links to top commentors and top contributors. It should be the same if I provide one for top supporters too. But as you pointed out it probably is not the same in googles eyes. Guess I will have to remove those. Those were like ads to me. They had been there for so long I didn't even see them. Thanks for pointing them out.
Thanks for moving my previous post to here mods. In taptalk participated threads that you are the op are not included. Ya google says they cannot tell you why. Which is dumb.
On a side note google is in bad bad need of some non webby user user feedback and ideas. Obviously not easy to do because they have so many services but trying to optimize some of there things like google+ for instance can be extremely trying for a non webby person - even a a webby person. The other day (and a few hundred early) it took me three hours to do figure out a simple thing. They counter this with 5 million how to pages. But they should just make things easier. Like being more transparent for one. Apple for instance does a very good job of this. And that's why they have 90% of the mom and pop business for various services. Forinstance my literal "rocket science" brother is the only close friend that is on google+. Everyone one else and their mother is on facebook - and like. Google has too many smart people on their payrole. Maybe they should simply employ some dumb people to navigate their services and all the nerds should pick up a chair and watch their confusion.

The regular season of the Six Rivers Youth Football Conference wrapped up Oct. 14; soon thereafter, the brackets for the playoffs were announced in the three divisions of play. Both the Ferndale Mustangs and the Eel River Valley Huskies each will send two teams to the postseason and with Ferndale hosting a first round date Sunday, then Eel River hosting Nov. 4, football fans can watch some of the action close to home.
In the Single A division of play, it will be the No. 4-seeded Ferndale Mustangs hosting the Redwood Youth Football Knights Sunday at 10 a.m. The Mustangs wrapped up the regular season last weekend beating the Eureka Green (Jacks) team by a score of 40-13. Coupled with their 37-6 win the previous Sunday versus the ERV White Huskies, the Mustangs have considerable momentum going into the postseason.
They are joined in the Single A playoffs by the No. 6 seeded Eel River Valley Blue Huskies. The Huskies also come in with two straight wins, a 25-0 shutout of Arcata and more recently a 13-6 victory in Brookings, Ore., over the Curry Cubs. The Huskies will face off against the No. 3 seed, the Eureka Red Loggers team, at 9 a.m. Sunday at Arcata High. The ERV White Huskies did not make the playoffs but did earn two wins during the regular season.
The Double AA division will see the No. 5 Eel River Valley Huskies Blue take on the Redwood Knights Sunday at noon on the field at Ferndale High School. The Blue Huskies had two convincing wins the last weeks of the regular season as the team first shut out Arcata 30-0, and this past weekend the Blue cruised past Curry by a score of 41-6. The Ferndale Mustangs Double AA team and the ERV Huskies White team did not make the eight team bracket but had a fine season none the less.
In the Triple AAA division, which features players in the seventh to eighth grade, it will be the No. 3 Ferndale Mustangs hosting the Redwood Youth Knights at 2 p.m. at Ferndale High School. The Mustangs finished the regular season with a flurry, winning 41-0 over the ERV Huskies, then more recently beating the Eureka Loggers 49-14 this past Sunday in Cutten. The ERV Huskies came up one win short of making the postseason after last weekends loss up at Del Norte. Speaking of Del Norte, their youth football team comes in as the No. 1 seed in both the A and AAA divisions, the Eureka Green (Jacks) team is the No. 1 seed in the AA Division.

Topic: Hello I'm new here!
My mom was diagnosed in jan 2013 with cc since then we have exhausted all options. She is now on her second stent and her onc said if her levels are good this week we can start chemo. I am on the fence with doing chemo since the last surgeon we saw said not to do anything because she was so weak and at the time she had shingles . I am struggling taking care of her at home . I work full time and have a 7yr old and a 4yr old my mom has been aggressive lately , wants to go to her apartment . I'm thinking the aggressive behavior is caused by the severe back pain from the tumor and dimentia on top of it. My sisters promised they would help but they seem to have abandoned me . I'm trying to keep my calm with the situation but my moms mood swings have been scaring my little girl (7) she cries when grand mom is upset . I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong , this is so heartbreaking and trying at the same time . Anyone else have a similar experience?

True puppy love explained
By Diann Ducharme, Special to the Citizen 05/03/12
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of three columns about children and pets.
I believe it was the day after our 15-year-old border collie-Lab mix died that my two children (ages 8 and 5 at the time) began to lobby for a new dog.
Even though we didn't miss her daily accidents and tumbleweeds of fur and old-age stink, the house wasn't the same without our sweet Sydney. We needed something furry and licky and waggy to love on us again, and of all pets, only a dog is capable of giving that particular ego-boost.
About four months later, my husband pointed out an advertisement in the pets section of the paper; my eyes subsequently oozed from their sockets as I gazed on the three most adorable creatures ever made in the world. They were five-week-old border collie pups, and I knew I had to have one, preferably that day.
I have included the photograph that ran in the paper, as proof that it wasn't a fair fight. No dog-lover in her right mind would have turned from those puppies. My husband and I drove out to the breeder the next day and picked out a pup from the litter (only three were left), and I took the little guy home to surprise the kids when they got home from school.
It was just like an after-school special, the way we all took to the energetic puppy, who we collectively named Harry (in honor of our favorite wizard, Harry Potter). But we soon began to see what it might mean to have a purebred border collie as a pet.
See, the breed was trained a long, long time ago to herd sheep. It's hard-wired in their DNA to be intense, athletic and hard-working. In lieu of actual sheep, they will try to herd anything that moves.
Harry took a liking to our feet. Every morning, by way of greeting, he would attack our moving feet with his little needle teeth. The kids were so traumatized by this that they carried bowls of dog treats downstairs in the mornings to distract him from his smelly prey. He also liked brooms and vacuums and scooters and bikes and small children running through the backyard.
But we didn't truly care about Harry's neuroses, for we already knew him to be the missing piece of our family puzzle. Then came the day that he started vomiting up his food. After a couple of days of periodic vomiting, I grew concerned, but his listlessness was the most alarming symptom. Based on what I knew about border collies, I surmised that a listless border collie pup was a sick one.
I took him to the vet, who told me that his kidneys weren't functioning properly and recommended that I take him to the specialty veterinarian to have some tests done. We all left poor limp Harry at this vet for testing, not quite believing we'd never see him again. The vet called us the next day to tell us that his nine-week-old kidneys were indeed failing (no reason could be determined without an autopsy), and gently suggested that we put him down.
It was one of the saddest days of my life. And yes, I cried for a long while after that phone call. But telling my husband and children, and watching them mourn poor Harry, was much more painful than my own grief.
With Sydney's death, an explanation was easier to give: she was old, she had a good life, we'll get a puppy. But how do you explain the death of the puppy? My mind was aswirl with existential notions about the unfairness of life, but children need something a bit more uplifting, more nourishing, in times of crisis.
My kids fell asleep that night with tear-stained faces, following some blubbery words I spoke about pets and how they teach us about unconditional love.
We learned, alright. But we hadn't learned our lesson about border collies. We picked up Harry's brother – the last of the litter – from the breeder the following week.
To be continued…

(UPDATED COVERAGE Feb. 14) Eric Viramontes is stepping down as chief executive officer of Culiacan-based Asociacion Mexicana de Horticulture Protegida A.C. (AMHPAC).
He's held the position since 2008. Viramontes will remain on the board but otherwise focus on his own company, Vision and Services.
"We're helping governments and companies develop special project in terms of opening new markets and communications strategies, something we've been doing all along with AMHPAC," he said.
AMHPAC communications director Karina Reyes declined to comment Feb. 13 on a successor. But Viramontes confirmed it will be Alfredo Diaz.
"He has a background in both the private and official sectors," he said of Diaz. "He spent some time with the federal government in SAGARPA. He was part of several companies in our industry and was able to solve the issue of insuring greenhouses in Mexico."
"One of my last actions was being part of the negotiating group with the tomato suspension deal," Viramontes said. "I'm finished with that so I can happily move on, proud of the organization we have built."
One of Viramontes' last projects was working on the tomato suspension agreement with the U.S. Commerce Department.
The draft suspension agreement released by the Commerce Department has drawn mixed reviews in Arizona and Florida, but Viramontes sees progress in its inclusion of all Mexican exporters.
"I think it will make for a stronger industry," he said. "The agreement is about maintaining order. It's not about filling anybody's pocket. Best of all, it avoided a big dispute between our countries."
"One of the things that has to happen on either side of the border — Mexico or Florida — is that you have to be more efficient, you have to deliver a better product, be more productive and sustainable," Viramontes said. "If you're able to accomplish that, it's going to be fair for you."
Prior to AMHPAC, he was agriculture manager with Ciruli Bros. LLC, Nogales, Ariz., from 2005 on.
One of his early roles in the industry was directing training and communications for Jalisco Produce Foundation. He later became director of promotion and trade for ASERCA, an entity of SAGARPA, the Mexican Ministry for Agriculture.
He helped set up promotion boards, find new markets and oversee promotional campaigns for mangoes, avocados, eggplant and other commodities. It was Viramontes who helped launch the MexBest program and its Mexico Supreme Quality seal.
AMHPAC has about 360 members from the Mexican greenhouse industry.
"We're still growing, but more slowly," he said. "The industry is reaching its peak in terms of numbers of companies."
AMHPAC and its members have multiple, ongoing initiatives on various fronts including the Food Safety Modernization Act; the Global Food Safety Initiative; and traceability.
The guiding concept, Viramontes said, lies in the Spanish word blindaje — in translation, armor or shield.
"Whether you're talking about tomatoes, cucumbers or squash, when it comes from Mexico your reputation can lie in the weakest link," he said. "We don't want any weak links."

(ARA) – When you make the decision to build a new home, there are a lot of things to consider. Among them, is the neighborhood right for you? What kind of lot do you want? Will you be close enough to work, school and shopping?
No matter where you end up, perhaps the most important decision you make will be who you choose as your architect. If you haven't worked with one before, you may be wondering whether your project really requires an architect, particularly if it will be your personal residence. According to the American Institute of Architects, the answer is yes.
The agency points out that using an architect is critical for any building project to be successful. The architect is the big picture person, and he or she will handle a number of duties. Among them, helping clients explore what appeals to them aesthetically and what they require functionally; coordinating teams of design, engineering and construction professionals; and sorting through the maze of building codes and zoning requirements to ensure projects are built the way they were intended.
Rebecca Jones of Chevy Chase, Md., knew all that going into her project. However, since she's an interior architect by profession, she thought she could design her dream home on her own. "Big mistake," says Jones. "I had photographed a house in Texas that I absolutely loved and thought I could replicate it on my own, but it didn't take long for me to realize I was in well over my head."
While the design of the home came naturally to her, translating her ideas into terms contractors, electricians and plumbers would understand did not. "When I realized I wasn't doing a good job in that department, I decided it was time to hire an architect.
The person she chose for the job was Jack Arnold, the man who had designed that home in Texas she liked so much.
Arnold is known across the U.S. as an expert in European residential design. His success as an architect stems from both an academic and hands-on education that takes him from local construction sites to premier European museums. From his childhood years constructing forts and tree houses to his 30-year career as a noted architect, Arnold says he has always sought to create something that pleases the eye.
"I really liked his attention to detail, quality and sophistication," says Jones. "That's why I decided to hire him." After their initial consultation, Arnold put together a set of plans, and changes went back and forth via email until everyone was completely satisfied.
"It was a great collaboration," says Jones. "Jack pushed me to do things I never would have done on my own."
Jones' home has a Country English design with high peak ceilings, high arched windows, stone accents around the doors and windows and varied roof lines. The interior has a lot of natural light shining through.
"It was designed to be an empty nester's home, and everyone's needs have been taken into consideration," says Jones. "The master is on the first floor and has a separate sitting room with a small office for my husband right above it. The great room is configured right off the kitchen which makes it perfect for entertaining. There's a separate wing for my mother, who is 81 and will be moving in with us, and the home is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act throughout."
While the home Jones had built was custom, Jack Arnold also offers detailed plans for several luxury homes you may be interested in building. Each plan comes with numerous pages of elevations, schedules and specifications to give clients and their builders comprehensive direction on how to create the home they envision.
There are four portfolios available: Country French Classics, Old World Romantics, Dream Home or Cottages, and they are available for purchase online. Log on to www.jackarnold.com http://www.jackarnold.com to find the plan for your dream home.

I think you'll probably like Chrissie Macdonald's "Ladies & Gentleman" wooden toys/objects too - I blogged them a week or so ago;
We also have the same taste in kids books, and I think you'll like this site - glad to have found you :)
love the colors and variety of shapes - almost like contemporary African art.ReplyDelete
Quite interesting. I know these would never work in my house, but I can totally see them on your mantel!ReplyDelete
These are too fun - I think they would look amazing in a grouping on a mantel!ReplyDelete
These wooden toys are so presh! They sort of remind me of the characters from the game Katamari.ReplyDelete
thank you for your comments!

A Geeks Guide2... Microsoft Training 365
Save over £580 at Reg Books
Posted in Site News, 22nd January 2010 16:55 GMT
Geeks Guide2 This week we're offering Reg readers a huge introductory discount on a Microsoft Training 365 Technical Subscription. For the next 28 days you will save over £580 on this IT pro and developer training hotbed by ordering the subscription via the Register Books website.
What is it?
Considering that the subscriptions are newly launched this week, we'd better start off by letting you know what they are. First of all, Microsoft Training 365 is unsurprisingly a subscription service, similar to TechNet and MSDN. Coming in five flavours, it provides you with access to every official Microsoft online course, past, present and future, for 12 months within your chosen package, those being either desktop (140+ courses), IT pro (1,100+), developer (300+), technical (1,500+) or premium (the whole lot).
- Excellent Value – saves you potentially tens of thousands of pounds in training costs.
- In-depth training on Microsoft topics.
Improved productivity by using it as an on the job quick reference.
- The ability to learn about the latest technologies before anybody else (inc. training for betas).
- Worldwide access, anytime of the day.
- No complicated setup or cost – start training within 30 minutes.
Microsoft Training 365 Technical Subscription
With GG2 you can save over £580 on this 12 month subscription.
A combination of both the IT pro and developer packages, the technical subscription is available for a limited time for just £498.99 ex. VAT (£586.32 inc. VAT) down from £999 ex. VAT (RRP £1,173.83 inc. VAT). This 12 month subscription entitles you to over 1,500 courses on .NET technologies, Exchange and Windows Server, SQL, Visual Studio and much (much) more. This would come to over £40,000 worth of Microsoft technology training if you bought the courses individually. In addition, you will also be given access to any other courses released during your subscription duration as part of the deal, for example the new SharePoint 2010 courses due for release in the coming months.
A full list of current courses can be found here.
Virtual Labs...
In addition to getting more courses than you can shake a stick at, a lot of them feature Microsoft Virtual Labs. These provide you with a direct connection to remote hosting equipment, which allows you to virtually configure and control a real working system to test skills developed on the courses or to trial a new idea – without risking your company's or your own personal equipment.

first and foremost....we are back!!! It seems that some not so nice folks from the middle east decided to flood DGR with fraudulent account registrations and created a DDoS (denial of service attack)...so the host shut down DGR to eradicate and blacklist the traffic...and while the outage was going on...we did some important updates as well.
The DDoS attacked resulted in a dramatic spike is server resources...so the host was just following attack protocol.
Alas, we are back, we are back, we are getting Doug back......

Ordinarily, a player de-committing from Xavier to attend New Mexico State might not qualify as big recruiting news. But Sim Bhullar only makes big news.
He stands 7-5 and weighs somewhere well north of 300 pounds. So his decision not to join the Musketeers in the fall of 2012 and instead enroll at New Mexico State this fall is going to be noticed.
Bhullar committed to Xavier in the spring as part of its 2012 class, but Toronto-based recruiting site Flagrant Fouls reported late Tuesday that Bhullar instead will join the Aggies for the 2011-12 season. Bhullar, a Toronto native, had planned to spend this year attending prep school in West Virginia.
"Xavier is a great program, and we are so appreciative of all the time they spent recruiting my brother," Avneet Bhullar told Personal Fouls. "However, Sim has some unique clearinghouse issues that have forced us to really examine the best course of action for Sim's future.
"At this time, we feel more comfortable going forward with New Mexico State due to their experience with Canadians and eligibility. We feel that New Mexico State provides Sim the best chance to get on the floor playing college basketball in the quickest time frame possible."
New Mexico State assistant coach Paul Wear also is a native of Toronto and has helped attract five Canadians to Las Cruces, N.M.
"Knowing some of the guys is definitely going to make it easier," Bhullar told Flagrant Fouls. "It's a good feeling to know I won't be down there alone."
Xavier always seemed an odd fit for Bhullar given coach Chris Mack's preference for a faster pace and 94-foot style of play. But the Musketeers have had success with low-post big man Kenny Frease and determined Bhullar could be a game-changing type of player because of his size.
Bhullar played in the summer with the Canada junior national team at the FIBA Under-19 World Championships in Latvia, averaging 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds for his team, which finished 11th. He toured the summer AAU circuit with the CIA Bounce squad out of Toronto and had some excellent moments, including a 12-point, eight-rebound performance when matched against elite high school junior Nerlens Noel.
But Bhullar does struggle with stamina issues and with changing ends and still is working on his touch around the goal. He shot 19-of-33 from the field at the Nike EYBL at the Peach Jam championships.
He told Sporting News in July he hopes to be in the NBA within two years -- and that was before he accelerated the timetable on his college enrollment.

The share market has closed lower for a third straight day as weaker iron ore prices weighed on the mining sector.
Iron ore has dropped below $US85 a tonne in China for the first time in five years, to $US84.30.
"The iron ore issue is now really starting to ramp up," IG market strategist Evan Lucas said.
"You're now seeing sustained downward pressure (on the iron ore price)."
The pressure on the iron ore price was a result of oversupply and lower demand from China, and there is nothing to suggest a slowdown in the slide in the near term, he added.
Fortescue Metals fell 13 cents, or 3.2 per cent, to $3.92, Rio Tinto shed 84 cents to $61.30 and BHP Billiton lost 37 cents to $35.65.
Mr Lucas said small to mid-sized iron ore miners like Mount Gibson and BC Iron were experiencing sustained sell-offs.
Mount Gibson dropped 2.5 cents to 63.5 cents and BC Iron retreated nine cents to $2.24.
Gold stocks also dropped, with Newcrest dropping 35 cents to $10.59, Regis Resources slumped 11 cents to $1.69 and Perseus descended 2.5 cents to 37.5 cents.
Most other sectors also fell, including the major banks.
National Australia Bank dropped 21 cents to $34.84, ANZ reversed 18 cents to $33.34, Commonwealth Bank shed 27 cents to $81.30 and Westpac was 17 cents weaker at $34.76.
Telstra eased three cents to $5.64.
* The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index dropped 32.6 points, or 0.58 per cent, to 5,598.7 points.
* The broader All Ordinaries index shed 33.2 points, or 0.59 per cent, to 5,598.9 points.
* The September share price index futures contract was down 39 points at 5,594 points, with 27,869 contracts traded.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEST was $US1,263.50 per fine ounce, down $US6.40 on Thursday's price of $US1,1269.90.
* National turnover was 2.4 billion securities worth $4.04 billion.

Founded in 1924, Hooker Furniture takes great pride in impeccable quality wood furniture that focuses on a unique mix of materials and finishes that could only be described as a match made in heaven. Hand-rubbed and padded finishes gives Hooker Furniture the unsurpassed clarity, depth, and color richness you'd expect to find in the most expensive units money can buy, but at a more affordable price. Read More
You have a very discerning taste for impeccable and unique design but can't quite find the right centerpiece for your new plasma TV. Your search ends with Hooker TV stands. Not only will you find a unique attention to details but you'll also find that perfectly harmonizing piece of furniture for your home. Imagine a fine-looking TV console with studded leather cabinet doors or a more Asian feel with narrow planked cabinet doors reminiscent of bamboo accentuating your new LCD TV. Let etched brass door panels bring back memories of old-world Europe. The diamond-shaped wood plank doors on the TV consoles will bring a richness and warmth that pleasantly accentuates a country cottage river stone fireplace.
All Hooker TV stands are equipped to handle your media storage needs. With adjustable shelves on most stands, you can create the space you need for your technological gadgets. The removable drawer inserts will neatly file your favourite CDs. At last a solution all parties involved in the HDTV purchase can revel in. Even if you wanted to wall mount your new television, you can purchase a hutch separately to avoid any unnecessary drilling mistakes in the wall. In fact, you can also make a few dozen less trips to the tool chest in the garage as most entertainment centers are shipped pre-assembled.
Choosing between leather, antique brass, or wood cabinet doors is almost as easy as choosing the colour. Not only will you find solid finishes but you can also satisfy that dual decorating personality with a mix such as Tuscan maple and black. Or try a corner TV stand in a combination of black stained wood and leather. You can choose from medium cherry or a warm rich brown wood finish with brushed metal hardware such as knobs, handles, and classy antique-look drawer pulls. If that doesn't scream high class, nothing will.
Cymax is proud to offer a wide variety of home furnishings that will suit any budget. Choosing from top brands such as Mayline, Modus Furniture, Hooker Furniture, Pulaski, Studio RTA, and more is the easiest part. However, with Cymax's free shipping on most units, you can sleep in peace at night knowing you've come under budget.

Hunter Mill District Tax Relief Workshop
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Nov. 23, 2005
Hunter Mill District to Host Tax Relief Workshop for Seniors
Hunter Mill District seniors are invited to attend a workshop on how to apply for real estate tax relief on Wednesday, Nov. 30, in the Senior Lounge at the Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry Street, Vienna. Personnel from the county's Department of Tax Administration will be on hand from 7 to 9 p.m. to help eligible seniors apply for tax relief. Attendees should bring all financial documentation related to their income and assets as of Dec. 31, 2004 (tax return for 2004; bank statement ending Dec. 31, 2004; current financial portfolio; proof of retirement pension, if applicable), so staff can help determine eligibility and assist with applications.
On Oct. 17, the Board of Supervisors approved an expansion of the Real Estate Tax Relief Program for the Elderly and Disabled. The change to this ordinance increases the net combined financial asset eligibility requirement from $240,000 to the state maximum of $340,000 for those who meet the age, disability and income requirements. The income limit also has been increased from $52,000 to the fixed state maximum of $72,000.
Fairfax County provides real estate tax relief to residents who are either 65 or older or who have permanent and total disabilities. The change in the ordinance is retroactive to all of tax year 2005. Existing applicants who have already been certified for some level of exemption do not need to reapply. The Department of Tax Administration will automatically review partial exemptions and adjust them as applicable for the second installment due in December.
Any applicable refunds associated with the 2005 first installment tax bill will be processed in December. The Department of Tax Administration also will re-examine any 2005 applications previously denied due to the existing income and asset limits. New applications still will have to be filed for the 2005 tax relief under the new limits, but the Board of Supervisors has extended the deadline to Dec. 31, 2006, for first-time applicants and hardship circumstances.
For more information or to attend the workshop, please call Martin Taylor at 703-478-0283, TTY 703-736-4460. Seniors looking for more information about real estate tax relief or an application can call the Department of Tax Administration at 703-222-8234, TTY 703-222-7594, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Tax relief applications also are available online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta/pdf_files/2005taxrelief.pdf, and an affidavit of disability, for those who need one, can be found at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta/pdf_files/affidavitofdisability.pdf.

It's not easy to eat enough nutrient rich foods every day to reach the recommended amounts, especially with a busy schedule like mine. Supplements help me achieve this, as well as help keep my energy levels high.
MuscleFit Protein by Fitness Labs has dramatically transformed my training results. I have more energy, and can train longer and harder since my muscles don't fatigue as quickly.
After intense workouts, I take L-Glutamine Powder by Fitness Labs. It's a convenient way to restore depleted glutamine levels and recover for my next workout.
Getting vitamins and minerals from food is always ideal, but with my busy schedule, I use Fitness Multi 2 by Fitness Labs to help fill in the gaps.
I also rely on Omega 3-6-9 by Lindberg. This formula is great for the cardiovascular system, and it helps keep my joints lubricated.
Your prices and selection are great. Plus, your staff is always available to help answer any of my questions.

It can't get much better than being outdoors and WU proves it with each photo expressing the individual vision of the experience. I apologize for not commenting more. I appreciate those who do. Right now, I am more inclined to not spend so much time on the computer and more time with my camera! Thank you to all who view my photos and to the Approvers for recognizing some of them.

Intercourse Pain and Contraception
During and following intercourse, I feel a swelling and burning (raw) sensation. It then burns for the next day or two, and would burn to urinate. I have had gnae test carried out but they have come back clear. Could this be related to my contreception - the Depo Provera? Thanks
Pain during intercourse, or dyspareunia, can be the result of several causes. A common cause is vaginal dryness. Infections can also be the culprits. However, in addition to these common causes, the list of other possibilities ranges from ovarian cysts to vaginal muscle spasms (or vaginismus) to skin conditions affecting the external genitalia to uterine disorders. Depoprovera can cause pain during intercourse, but this is unusual. In fact, the manufacturer states less than one percent of those patients in clinical trials reported dyspareunia as a side effect.
Especially given the many possibilities for this relatively common problem, you need to consult with your physician to determine the cause and proper treatment.

Two words carrying a mountain of meaning have the Sierra Club threatening a lawsuit and calling for heads to roll at the Fort Ord Reuse Authority.
On Thursday, the group accused the 2010 FORA board of quietly committing a "serious breach" of the 1998 settlement agreement that guides environmental issues and development on the former Army base.
By replacing the word "shall" with the word "may" in March 2010, the board made discretionary a portion of the settlement that required FORA to reject projects that were inconsistent with its base reuse plan.
The settlement is codified as Chapter 8 of FORA's Master Resolution. According to board minutes from March 12, 2010, on the advice of counsel, the board made some "minor" changes in the resolution to make it easier to understand.
Many of the changes elsewhere in the document replaced the word "shall" with "will." Only in Chapter 8 was "shall" changed to "may," which carries a significantly different meaning in and out of the law.
"The mandatory requirement for disapproving consistency determinations is a major, material provision of the 1998 Sierra Club-FORA settlement agreement," the letter from Sierra Club representatives Jane Haines and Scott Waltz states. "We realize that lay members of FORA's board would not necessarily have understood the significance of (the resolution). But certainly FORA's attorney in March of 2010 would have understood it."
The letter requests the board "terminate any FORA employees who are responsible for the breach" and threatens legal action if it is not corrected.
FORA's attorney then and now is Jerry Bowden, whose performance review is already under way. According to meeting minutes from 2010, the item was introduced and recommended by Executive Officer Michael Houlemard.
FORA's outside public relations consultant, Candace Ingram, responded to requests for comment from Houlemard on Thursday.
She said the change was a clerical error that will be addressed at next month's FORA board meeting.
"It is very simply a mistake that needs to be corrected," she said, adding she didn't think any malice was intended.
Left standing without litigation, the change could have had significant impact on future developments on Fort Ord, including Monterey Downs. Developers of that proposed project entered into exclusive negotiating agreements with Monterey County and the city of Seaside just months after the Chapter 8 language was changed.
In its letter Thursday, the Sierra Club states it was not notified in advance of the 2010 changes as required by the settlement of its lawsuit over the FORA base reuse plan.
Ingram said FORA has a "cordial" relationship with the Sierra Club and Houlemard had already spoken with Haines about the necessary correction.
Haines declined comment outside of her letter.

The parents of Trayvon Martin and the homeowners association for which George Zimmerman worked as a neighborhood watch captain have entered into a confidential settlement of the Martins' civil suit.
It appears the homeowners association has paid at least $1 million.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, wants that settlement unsealed, according to a motion filed by the defense in his client's criminal trial.
O'Mara said he wants to know if the money payout might influence testimony in the criminal case.
Zimmerman charged with murder in the shooting death of Martin last year.

In the last 10 years the city of Palo Alto has done nothing to clean up nonresidents' parking in the CN zone of College Terrace on a permanent basis. I live on Oxford Avenue and pay $50 per year for the privilege of parking on College Terrace streets. There is a person who does not own or rent property in Palo Alto (assuming that if he did he would not be sleeping in his van on Oxford) who parks about 15 vehicles on a permanent basis. Usually six of them are within 100 feet of my house. The police cannot do anything because he keeps a record of when he parks each vehicle and moves them to avoid the 72-hour ticket.
Right now he occupies on a regular basis six to eight precious parking spaces that Starbucks and the other businesses near Stanford and El Camino could use during this construction period. Why not make this block of Oxford two-hour parking during the day during this current construction period? Then if the local businesses do not complain, make it permanent. Palo Alto government could also allow the local businesses to opt in to the adjacent parking district.
Palo Alto government could also take a leadership role by proposing that all blocks in College Terrace zoned CN be permanently part of the adjacent parking district. Our country and state elect leaders by a majority of those who care to vote. Palo Alto could create the parking district unless a "majority" of those adjacent businesses oppose the project. That way a non-vote is a yes vote instead of the way they made us adopt our current parking program. In that vote, we needed to get a majority of residents to say yes, which was much more difficult. Is this anyway to run a democracy? Making it harder for the majority of concerned, hopefully informed and community oriented, citizens to get change is certainly not what our founding fathers envisioned.

Downtown North parking
Bravo to Ken Alsman for his letter to the editor May 13 regarding downtown employees' use of residential parking in Professorville.
We would like to add our "two-cents worth" as residents of the Downtown North neighborhood. Until two years ago, our quiet, residential neighborhood was mostly frequented by park visitors and parents walking their young children by day. Our neighborhood kids play in the streets and we've always felt safe here. Now we live in a massive parking lot, cars piled up so tightly in spaces they overlap our driveways and make it difficult to get out. Nearly all these cars belong to downtown startup employees, who are apparently too impoverished to afford a parking garage closer to their jobs. As most of our houses do not have garages, we are forced to park blocks away, difficult with groceries and small children. The cars often stay parked on our streets till late at night. When the owners of these vehicles finally come to remove their vehicles, they speed off, iPods dangling from their ears, oblivious to pets, pedestrians and kids. We've also noticed a huge increase in weekend parking here as well.
Downtown has several large parking lots that were put in to appease residents' uneasiness about Palo Alto's out-of-control growth. The lots are barely half full. It does not seem to be an enormous cut to companies' budgets to simply pay for annual employee parking permits (or, heaven forbid, require them to pay for it themselves!).

Juana Briones House
I was fortunate enough to be born and raised at the Juana Briones House and my family was blessed to call it home for many generations. Ashes of my relatives are scattered on the property and memories of the years it was ours fill my heart.
At a time in California history when women had few options and women of color fewer still, Juana Briones managed to not just survive, but to flourish. She raised eight children, including an orphaned Ohlone Indian girl. She gained a clerical separation from her husband, establishing herself as the first woman in California to be granted a divorce.
In 1844 she purchased, from two Ohlone Indians, 4,400 acres of land in what are now the foothills of Palo Alto. It was on this land that Juana built Rancho La Purísima Concepción. Juana Briones excelled not only in business and farming but her reputation for hospitality and skills in medicine were widely recognized. Although she never received a formal education and could not read or write, Juana Briones thrived as a single mother, a medicine woman, a business woman and a humanitarian.
Rancho La Purísima Concepción was an exceptional and rare monument that has been destroyed.

The former Red Devil believes the striker may ponder his options if he remains a bit player at Old Trafford although he feels the Mexican would find it hard to leave.
The Mexico international is widely used as a substitute at Old Trafford despite a superb scoring record that has seen him grab 54 goals in 126 appearances for the Red Devils.
Chicharito has scored four times already this season, despite being behind Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie in the pecking order, and Meulensteen admits he is a big fan of the 25-year-old.
"Chicharito Hernandez is a fantastic striker. Wherever he pops up he will score goals," he told talkSPORT. "With Hernandez, having Robin van Persie in that position mean sometimes you will fall short. That's why it's so important that, at the right time, you mix up the combinations and that all these players feel like they contribute to the competitions that you play in."
The striker has been linked with a January move to Arsenal in recent days and while Meulensteen says he would not rule out a transfer away from the club, he does believe the player might find it difficult to quit Old Trafford.
"If Hernandez comes to an age where he thinks he wants regular football and he can get into another top team in the Premier League then I can see him considering it, but it's not easy leaving Manchester United," the Dutchman said.

My name is Joseff Kolman, son of Mr. Kelly Kolman and Dr. Jennifer Kolman, and I am from Savannah, GA. During middle and high school, my parents stressed trying many different activities and academic subjects in order to discover my tastes and proclivities. Physics changed me like no other subject did. After going through just one introductory college physics class, I felt as if I had blinders removed. I saw the world from a different light. I saw beautiful equations lurking behind the normal surroundings – I was hooked, to say the least. I am now a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and I look forward to building a great foundation to become one of history's ubiquitous members: a problem solver. In my spare time, I am an avid euphoniumist and classical music enthusiast.

Taylor Driggers, defensive lineman from Brantley High School in Ala., helped his team capture the Class 1A state championship with a 33-0 win against defending champions Marion County High School. Brantley finished the season in dominating fashion.
"It feels great," said Driggers. "This is what the hard work is for. I had it in the back of my mind we could have 10 shutouts going into the game. This matters a tad bit more.
"It's great keeping the shutout to a team who has scored 700 points this year. They were driving at the end, but it didn't matter whether or not they scored. I did want the shutout though, and we got it. We came in prepared. We knew what they were running, and we hit them in the mouth."
Driggers finished the game with eight tackles and two tackles for loss. He had several quarterback pressures. He entered the game with 63 tackles and 12 sacks for the year.
Driggers is closing in on making his college decision. Army, Georgia State, Memphis and Troy have offered scholarships. He has trimmed the list to a couple of schools.
"Army is Army," he said. "It's a great academic school. There are so many opportunities after football. It's a prestigious offer."
"Troy is close to home. They play some really good football there. The Sun Belt is on the rise. It's just a good school close to home."
