So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Not What I Anticipated - Remove Antivirus 7 Software Review

By Ashley Lewis


Unfortunately, I find that the known bad sites are among the top few that pop up when doing a search. Without NIS, I would certainly have selected some of those bad sites had there not be the NIS warning. Once again Norton gets a 5 star rating from me. It installed cleanly over my older version, and runs quietly in the background. The new Norton seems to be updating 10-20 times a day, constantly slowing down my computer. I can get all kinds of analysis and graphs that I do not need, but no help or even more importantly OPTIONS to stop the spastic eternal updating.

I always buy through Amazon as it is so much cheaper than letting Norton do the upgrade. The service I get from the Sellers at Amazon is terrific.

It prompts me to take some action from time to time. No attacks appear to have taken place. Have been using Norton for years and it works quite well and is a lot cheaper from Amazon than it is direct from Norton. Seems strange that to upgrade a program on your computer is more expensive than purchasing it new with packaging and CD but that's the case.

Instead, Symantec prefers to try to gouge its customers. For this software which is currently selling for $37.99 on Amazon, Symantec charges $59.99 for renewal.

If you check their website, there are others with the same problem. If the next phone call does not resolve the problem, I will take a loss and purchase another system. The main screen is divided into 3 main categories, "Computer," "Network," and "Web." The Computer section is the meat of the suite covering viruses, spyware and other malware.

Been running it for a couple months and wouldn't even know it was there except for two or three times that it notified me of an unsafe website or potential hack. Also very easy to select e-mail addresses as 'spam' which it sends to the 'junk' e-mail folder for deletion. We have used Norton internet protection for several years. My husband is a computer programmer and this is the system they use at his work. We use it three computers of our own and two of our handicapped son. All installations seem to work flawlessly.

Now, every-time I boot my computer, I open Norton and turn the whole thing off until next reboot. It is inconvenient and time consuming to do this, but that is how annoying I find this software. Support fixed those issues remotely, and then offered to upgrade one of the machines on the spot to the new version. Great move, because everything got better and easier.

Do You Wish To Replace Your Gas Engine With Diesel?

By George Trunyan


Because diesel automobiles are cheaper to run than gas, a lot of people have been buying them for years, but is that the best choice? With the smells and noise of a diesel engine, some individuals just see them as being suitable for trucks. Despite the fact that diesel automobiles are definitely more inexpensive to own, they can be extremely loud and emit strong fumes.

A gasoline engine is actually stronger than a diesel one because of its higher horsepower. The diesel engine captures the battle with torque, making it a thin line which one is actually better. Comparing them, the diesel engine costs more to purchase at first and is more expensive when considering power. The elements for a diesel are more expensive than for fuel, but they are more reliable. They are typically more dependable due to their simple inner structure and the fact that they weigh more to build. As a result of all of this, diesel will normally endure longer than gas engines.

Considering that the economy is usually going to be a significant factor, the cost of fuel will also always make a difference. Nearly as much as it costs right now to fill up a gasoline engine, a lot of judgements have to be made on that alone. Previously it cost less for diesel, but that is no longer the situation. Many individuals who purchased a diesel vehicle because the price of diesel was cheaper, now are paying more. Diesel generally lasts more, so in the end it still might be cheaper to run diesel. The issue for many people with diesel is definitely the smell, just like why some people have a hard time riding on a bus with the diesel smell. The black smoke originating from a car at peak times, will tell you that it is a diesel.

You'll be able to improve your car's power by tuning up the gas engine, but you won't get the same results with a diesel one. Diesel owners frequently choose to turbo charge their engines considering that tuning up the engine is not very effective. It is the best way that a diesel can potentially match up in power with a gasoline engine. As a result, the majority of current diesel cars have turbo-charged engines which supercharge their power and put them on the level with gas engines. Currently, several choices are available with both diesel and gasoline. What it essentially comes down to, is making the right selection for you and your needs. If your choice is muscle, then you will want gasoline, but if you would rather have torque, a diesel vehicle should be what you want.

There is a range of vehicles from which to choose, so be sure to look for what you really need and want. You can anticipate purchasing what you consider to be the best gas or diesel car, one that give you the most enjoyable ride.

The Yarn Ball Winder Intro

By Jill Fagen


Relax and let the Yarn Ball Winder Guru introduce you to a new way of winding yarn without taking a hit...

Many a knitter and crocheter still winds her yarn balls by hand. She not only devotes her valuable time to being the knitter or crocheter of her project, but she also devotes much time and energy on being a human yarn ball winder. Each time the knitter or crocheter starts a new project her first job is to be a human yarn ball winder. She is taking a fresh skein or hank of yarn and painstakingly rolls the ball of yarn by hand, loop after tedious loop. During the winding process the human yarn ball winder wishes to address kinks and tangles and worst of all- knots. This winding project can often leave the human yarn ball winder tired and irritated and without as much interest in the knitting or crochet project she had been so happy about originally.



When contemplating the monotonous work that it would most likely take for each ball of yarn to be wound I am reminded of the work of a fellow guru- Mr Miagi, coach and teacher of the Karate Kid. Remember the wax-on-wax-off scene in the Karate Kid picture when small Daniel learns the karate motions through waxing the floor? He mastered karate abilities by doing common-or-garden and monotonous motions. That was superb for Daniel's karate, as he could apply each motion to his karate form.

But winding balls of yarn is a different art. The talents that it takes to be an accomplished yarn ball winder aren't the same as the skills that it takes to be a good knitter or crocheter. There is no benefit in going thru the wax-on-wax-off motions of yarn ball winding to knitting or knitting. So any additional time expended on yarn ball winding is time lost, that would have been spent creating something lovely with the yarn.

That is just why I would like to teach you the secrets to changing into a true yarn ball winder samurai (or at a minimum to understand how to roll a ball of yarn efficiently). There are two

1. the yarn ball winder (non-human)
2. the yarn swift

My job as the Yarn Ball Winder Guru is to teach you about these two convenient tools and how they can enhance your yarn ball winding talents.
