Looking for Furniture
As regular readers will know we're sorting out this new (to us) house and now that we've got half of it free of builders (the architect comes for the other half tomorrow!) we're in the process of looking around for furniture. Fortunately, I can do this on the web rather than following the wife around hundreds of different stores.
For example, have a look at this sleeper sofa ...looks pretty good, eh? Or this sofa, or this selection of sofas. Or these leather sofas. The selection is actually very good and theprices even better. I think I shall be pointing the wife at this with the browser.

So they will then be able to enteryour account and steal your money and information.
You should never click through the links in such emails.

Senior Dating
I think we've all seen the way in which dating sites are springing up all over the web? There's a god reason for this, it's almost as if it's one of the things the web was made for, In a way it is, because such sites benefit from network effects and of course that is indeed what the internet does.
One that caught my eye was this one, dedicated to senior dating. If you're looking for a senior match it appears ideal: the site is very easy to use, has great functionality and, of course, is full of people who are either seniors looking for a date or those who are looking for a date with a senior. If that's what you're looking for, why not?

Hemorrhoid Relief
One of the more uncomfortably (although not specifically life threatening) diseases we can suffer from is hemorrhoids. As I say, not exactly going to lead to instant death, but a method of Natural Hemorrhoid Relief would be most welcome to sufferers.
While surgery can help that's always got it's own risks and there's not all that much that the prescription treatments can do that isn't messy or embarassing. So why not click throuh and see what a natural solution can do for you?
Denver, Colo. (PRWeb) September 28, 2007 – The estimated 10 million American hemorrhoid sufferers no longer have to agonize in silence. Western-Herbal.com, a manufacturer of all-natural nutrition and herbal supplements, is pleased to present them with a safe and effective solution to their misery. An alternative to messy, short-term creams and risky surgeries, Hem-Relief treats hemorrhoids at their source to provide complete, long-term relief. Hemorrhoid sufferers who would like to put an end to their problem without wasting money can learn more about Hem-Relief’s 100 percent money-back guarantee online at www.Western-Herbal.com/Hem-Relief.php.
According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC), “about half of the population has hemorrhoids by age 50.” Because hemorrhoids are such an embarrassing problem – one that sufferers are reluctant to talk about – however, that estimate may be on the conservative side. In the United State alone, it is approximated that 10 million Americans suffer from the affliction, with as many as 75 percent likely to experience the problem at least once in their lifetimes.
That’s a lot of individuals suffering needlessly in pain and silence. It’s not just embarrassment, however, that’s preventing them from seeking help. The traditional treatment protocol for problematic hemorrhoids is a surgical procedure called hemorrhoidectomy. With that operation’s reputation for a lengthy and painful recovery period, it’s no wonder so many hemorrhoid sufferers are reluctant to go under the knife. Now, thanks to Hem-Relief, they don’t have to.
Dubbed the “911 for Hemorrhoids,” Hem-Relief is an oral tablet that treats hemorrhoids at their source. It heals the damaged anal and rectal veins from the inside out. Produced in an FDA-certified lab, the product is all natural and safe. It provides total, long-lasting relief in as little as a few hours and enjoys a 99 percent success rate.
With over 35,000 satisfied customers, Hem-Relief’s effectiveness speaks for itself. One such customer, a 20-year hemorrhoid suffer, had this to say about her Hem-Relief experience: “I could not walk, sit, stand or do anything. I was seriously considering surgery, and as a last-ditch effort found your product…. I’ve been taking it for about two weeks. The bleeding is gone. Almost all the pain is gone. This product is a blessing.”
Individuals who would like to put an end to the distressing
symptoms of hemorrhoids can try out Hem-Relief risk free online at
www.Western-Herbal.com/Hem-Relief.php. Additional information about
Hem-Relief’s all-natural, proprietary formula can be obtained by
contacting Thomas Miller toll-free at
866-763-7302 or by emailing him at service@western-herbal.com.

Labiaplasty
Some will think this a little odd but in fact it's evidence of two things:
1) How fast medical technology is advancing, to the great benefit of us all
2) How fast we're getting rich as a society when people can start to worry about such things.
What I'm talking about is labiaplasty, the medical reconstruction of the labia or other parts of female genitals. This can be done for strict medical reasons such as trying to overcome the effects of some of the more barbaric African female circumcision practices. Or it can be done for more cosmetic reasons, such as the reconstruction of the hymen (although it's worth noting that lives can be saved by this in cultures where woman can be kille for not being a virgin on her wedding night).
Click through there to find out more about what's going on in this area (BTW, this is a detailed site, so be careful, you might not like some of the images).

Business Networks
Now this seems like a very good idea.
The biggest problem with any form of home business is that there's no network of people to learn from. Everything you do is like reinventing the wheel and that really isn't the way to get ahead in today's world. What youactually want to be able to do is to stand on the shoulders of giants and make use of al of the things that others have already found out.
Plus, of course, what every home-based business needs is access to networking opportunities...not jsut other people's knowledge, but also their desires and wants. If you were to click through above there you'd have the opportunity to join a network 65,000 strong: some of whom you would hope would become your customers, of course.
There's a free level of membership, including a business profile, free advertising and so on. In many ways it works like the social networking sites, Linkedin perhaps, or Facebook: but just for those running a home-based business.
It all sounds very useful to me and if you are working from home it looks like it's definitely worth a try.

Custom T- Shirts
Here's an interesting site I've just found, specialising in customs T-shorts and apparel. The number of different designs that are possible is just great and so are the pricing. Also, and very importantly for technologica ignoramuses like me the site is very simple to navigate and terribly simple to understand.
Have a look here at the range of custom t-shirts available, and over here is the range of custom baseball caps. If you're looking to kit out a team or a group, maybe there's some company thing coming up or perhaps a trade show? Why not check them out for what you might want to have made for you all to wear?
Personally I like this custom koozies page the most...there's somthing that always makes me associate them with a cold beer cool drink on a hot day that makes me likethem.

Beverley Hills Dentistry
You'll have noticed that everyone in Hollywood has the most perfect teeth? That there's never a yellow smile, nor a crooked one, anywhere at all in the whole industry? Well, there's an extremely good reason for this: it's not that only those with perfect teeth can get into acting, it's that once they're there they get them fixed. One of the people who does this sort of work is Dr. Maddahi and you can see he sort of tecniques used here, where he explains Beverly Hills porcelain veneers .
The great thing about this sort of dentistry is that while we may not all be film stars, nor make as much money as they do, we can at least look and smile like them.

Gmail Phishing
There's a particularly nasty attempt to get into your gmail account going around at the moment. The full email is below the fold.
What they're trying to do is to get you to reveal your log in to your email account, Once they've got that they can then use it ti send out further streams of email: and also chack through your archives for any passwords you might have sent using it.
The answer to these sorts of attempts is simply to ignore them.

Refurbished Computers
There's a part of th computer industry that many are really unaware of, this being the market in used and refurbished computers. There's not much of one in PCs, because that technology marches on so quickly. However, in a business environment, things move rather more slowly. It's notthat chips don't get faster, memory cheaper, in the same way, it's rather that once a business has put in a complex system they tend to keep it for a number of years. Of course, sometimes machines break, but rather than buy new (which would mean complex changes to the structure), people tend to look for another piece of the same old kit to slot into the network.
That's what drives the business model of people like this who specialise in refurbished AS/400 equipment. They scour the planet for used equipment and spare parts that can then be used by people without their having to change the basic structure of their network. If that's the sort of service you need then it's strongly recommended that you check them out.

Florida Aviation Properties
I absolutely love things like this. It's shows the huge variation, the vibrancy if you wish, of capitalism as it is done. We all know about Florida real estate, we know that the place has been filling up with people for a century now. But these specialists in Florida villa sales take the whole concept of, well, specialization, that one step further. They work with airport properties: yes, that's right, they're real estate agents who work mainly with residential airparks, airports and aviation communities throughout Florida.
Ain't that just great? The ever ongoing division of labour that is the driver of our massive, by any historical standard, wealth. I love stories of specialization like this.
So, if you happen to be interested in an aviation community in Florida I recomment that you click though and see what they have to offer.

THE U.S LOTTERY(COMMONWEALTH AWARD),
No, this isn't a realy lottery. There are no prizes here to be won. In common with all of these email and internet lotteries, this is a scam.
It's a group of criminals who want to steal your money, not give any to you. They'll tell you that you have to pay some fees and expenses before your prize can be released. Any money that you send them will just be kept by the criminals. No prize will ever be sent to you.
Ignore it, it's a fraud, a fake.

Hardie Plank Siding
As regular readers will know we're going through an extensive refit of this new (to us) house at the moment. New roof, new windows, new electrics....pretty much the whole shebang actually. One of the decisions we still have to make though is about whether to put sidings on the house or not. That decision would in fact be made a great deal easier if we were in Houston as there is an excellent Houston siding company that we could offer the work to. All-Tex has been going since 1991 and they're the dominant players in the market. Nothing like knowing that thousands have used the same services before you to give you some confidence, eh?
So, unfortunately, not being in Texas I've got to think more about this. Darn.

Netherlands Promotion Company
No, this isn't a real lottery at all. None of these email lotteries are in fact real. They all work the same way.
You'll be told that you have to pay some fees to get your prize released. Any money that you send will simply be kept by the criminals and no prize will ever be sent to you. It doesn't matter if you pay the first, the second, or the fifth demand for money, you'l never, ever, receive a prize.
So ignore this and all of the others like it. They're all scams, frauds, fakes.

Credit Cards and Bad Credit
One of the slightly absurd things about 21 st century life is that if you've got bad credit the best way to repair it is to go and borrow some more money and then repay it. Yes, I know, slightly odd, isn't it?
Well, OK, so if that's the best way....but wait a minute. If I've got bad credit then who is going to lend me any money?
Well, admittedly, you will have to pay a little more interest but there are specialists who operate in this field. In fact, there's a whole website devoted to credit cards for bad credit , offers from various companies, reviews, and even the application forms themselves.
If you have bad credit and want to improve it then it's very much worth a look.
