| January 4th, 2009 | Pacific Crest Trail - Critter Problems | ||
Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is a must for serious hikers on the west coast and through much of the world. While it can be great, you need to keep an eye out for potential critter problems. Pacific Crest Trail The Pacific Crest Trail stretches from the Mexican border to Canada. It contains some of the most beautiful scenery you will see anywhere. The trail is set up in such a way that as much as 80 percent of it can be done with day hikes, which makes it a very attractive option for long weekends. Since the Pacific Crest Trail is so easy to day hike, many hikers fail to take into account the animals that cross the trail on a daily basis. Of course, this can lead to small inconveniences or horrendous disasters you read about in the newspaper. Here’s a list of critters you should keep in mind. 1. Mosquitoes - Where there is water, there seems to be mosquitoes. The sections of the trail in Southern California aren’t too bad, but northern areas can be horrendous. As spring comes on, the snow in the mountains starts to melt and you get standing water. During these periods, there can be absolute clouds of mosquitoes in some areas. The area around Klamath should be avoided at all costs in June. Just don’t go. 2. Snakes - Most snakes are not confrontational. On the southern sections of the Pacific Crest Trail, you are definitely going to see rattlesnakes. When you do, just calmly walk away from them. 3. Mountain Lions - Mountain lions can be a bit troubling. They are much bigger than you think, weighing as much as a couple hundred pounds. They are also known to track humans on the trail, but attacks are extremely rare. If you do happen upon one, do not run away or start screaming. Mountain lions are predators, so don’t act like prey. Just stand there or calmly back away. Try to grab a stick or even a can of mace if you have one. 4. Bears - Black bears can be found in mountain areas, but are fairly harmless. Unlike what you see in movies, these bears tend to eat plants and you don’t look appetizing. If you see cubs, absolutely leave the area as calmly, but quickly as possible. Mother bears are very aggressive if they think cubs are in trouble. You don’t want to face off with an angry bear. 5. Humans - As with all aspects of society, there are scumbags on trails. If you objectively feel you can handle yourself, don’t worry about it. If not, it is best to travel with another hiker you know well on the odd chance you run across a jerk. In retrospect, that may all sound rather horrific. In truth, those hiking the Pacific Crest Trail rarely run into problems. Just make sure you keep in mind you are in the wild, not your local canyon.

| January 3rd, 2009 | A Apple Valley California attorney lost from a lawfirm in Midland Texas | ||
As long as the adverse action is based on reasonable factors other than age. The company had its supervisors rate their subordinates based on their performance flexibility and critical skills. Twenty-eight of those 20 employees sued under the ADEA claiming Knolls illegally fired them because of their age. For example it would not be illegal to consider criteria for a particular role in a movie that has a disparate impact on age if the part calls for someone of a particular age. At the trial a jury found Knolls had violated the ADEA because its layoff procedure had a disparate impact based on age. In other words the ADEA permits employers to discriminate based on age considering age is legitimately necessary under the circumstances. Knolls totaled those scores and gave the employees additional points based on their years of service. The BFOQ defense states that it is not unlawful for an employer to take adverse employment actions otherwise prohibited by the ADEA where age is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the particular business. In reaching its conclusion that the employer has the burden to prove the reasonable factors other than age defense the Supreme Court looked at another provision of the ADEA the bona fide occupational qualification defense. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit initially affirmed the jurys findings but after the United States Supreme Court asked it to reconsider the Second Circuit reversed itself and ruled in favor of Knolls. It has the burden to prove that its decision was based on a reasonable factor other than age. The Supreme Court then agreed to hear the case and eventually reversed the Second Circuit and reinstated the jurys finding that Knolls policy unlawfully discriminated because of age. Thirty of the 23 salaried employees the company laid off were at least 63 years old. A lawyer from Doetinchem won from a advocate in Euclid Ohio In Meacham Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory was planning to lay off a number of employees. In that case Meacham versus Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory the Supreme Court interpreted a provision of the ADEA that permits an employer to take an adverse employment action against an employee. Specifically the jury found that although the plaintiffs did not prove that Knolls intentionally discriminated against them they did prove that Knolls method of deciding who to lay off disproportionately harmed older workers. Even if the employment action is otherwise prohibited by the ADEA. The Supreme Court ruled that if an employer seeks to rely on that defense. It then used those totals to decide who to lay off. The Supreme Court has previously recognized that the employer has the burden to establish the BFOQ affirmative defense. |

| January 2nd, 2009 | Self Publishing Era: Digital Publishing Tears Down Walls | ||
Since the birth of publishing, authors have been forced to deal with the middlemen of this industry; the publishing houses. Often some of the best authors are turned away at the door because they are not “recognized” enough. Sometimes the best talent is rejected because big publishing houses just do not have time to look over all of the manuscripts. Well the times have changed. Now authors can self publish their material for next to nothing in the form of an ebook. While many traditionalist stubbornly claim that “customers won’t buy ebooks”, nothing could be further from the truth. Some ebook authors make exorbitant amounts of money. What’s better is they get to keep most of their profits. If you are thinking about writing a book, consider publishing it in ebook format. Here are some of the benefits of ebooks… Lower costs than self publishing Larger returns than many traditional publishing offers Work on your own terms Constant and growing profits Here are some of the downfalls of self publishing ebooks: You must learn online promotion strategies Effectively you are the author, distributor, webmaster and many more positions May require some knowledge of web design, book design etc etc As you can see, digital publishing is not all fun and games.

| January 1st, 2009 | Domain Names-Protect Your’s From Drop Catchers | ||
Imagine you’re the owner of a successful Web site, but when you logon one day all you get is an error message. Or worse yet, the domain name now points to a site full of advertisements. That’s right. You’re out of business. This happens every day because of a perfectly legitimate process known as “drop catching,” where people quickly snag the domain names owners have let expire and try to resell them or use the links associated with the names, which could be extensive, to create Web sites loaded with advertisements. You can easily avoid becoming a victim of a drop catcher by better understanding how the domain registration system works to protect your domain name. Your Web site, with all the content you have so painstakingly added, sits on a computer with a unique address called an IP address, which is simply a series of numbers. A domain name is an address forwarding service that directs visitors to the site using this IP address. Domain names are used instead of numbers because most people find it easier to remember a name rather than a bunch of numbers. It’s as if you could dial your friend’s name into the telephone instead of his phone number. You can purchase a domain name by registering it with a provider of domain services such as GoDaddy.com , the largest on the Web, or any number of other registrars. The name can be registered for just one year, for about $10, or for as long as ten years, for around $80. Many register for only one year because it’s cheaper, or they only want the site for a limited time. At the end of the year, the registrar usually sends an email renewal notice to the owner. If the owner doesn’t respond to the renewal notice, the domain name will eventually be made available for purchase by someone else. Roughly 20,000 domain names become available every day because the owners allowed them to expire, or the owners didn’t realize that their domain name was up for renewal According to the rules established by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers(ICANN), domain registrars have 45 days after the expiration date to notify the owner that their domain name is going to be dropped from the registry. If the name is dropped, the guidelines then call for a 30-day grace period during which the owner can still claim the name. After this grace period and then another five-day holding period, the name is dropped from the registry and anyone can claim it. Since 2004, however, a number of domain service providers, starting with SnapName.com, have created an auction process for expired names which bypasses the original drop process and makes the names available in as little as thirty days. GoDaddy.com begins the auction process even before the names have officially expired, although it does warn the auction participants that the owner could still claim their name. These providers of domain services each have tools on their sites to make it easier to grab expired names. They provide constantly updated lists of expired names, various auction services, search engines, and other free tools for anyone to quickly and easily find available domain names. Some sites also offer software for sale that further simplifies the search for expired and soon to be expired names. With the surge in online advertising, drop catchers will continue to seek out domain names from sites with good traffic, anxious to exploit the established links. Protect your site and your business by checking the expiration date of your domain name. Relying on the registrar to send a renewal notice that could easily be sent to an old email address or get lost in the spam catcher, could cost you years of hard work.

| January 1st, 2009 | Procure Public Liability Insurance Cover on the Web | ||
With the legal civilisation increasing all throughout the planet, having possession of professional indemnity insurance is developing into being ever more and more necessary. If you don’t at this time have liability insurance written-in into your building insurance, then now is perhaps the occasion to look into buying better insurance. Here is some suggestions about why you require cover, and what to watch out for. What is professional indemnity cover: Professional Indemnity cover is an insurance agreement that protects you from claims that 3rd party’s could perhaps make against you in the chance of an accident. If someone damages their belongings or harms themselves in or around your property or business then the public liability insurance will shield you for any fees that could possibly take place. Cover usually ranges from two-hundred and fifty pounds up to ?1 million. What are you protected for: Insurance will insure you against accidents or loss that other individuals may experience in or around your home or organisations site. You are covered against claims from thief’s in addition to damages that may perhaps occur to anyone from falling items or workers carrying out maintenance. If a disaster takes place on your premises and someone claims against you, your insurance policy will help you to pay any fees. What’s included Some contents or property insurance covers include integrated liability insurance. You would be advised to check with your insurer if this is the case, and if so what extent of cover you have. Even if the insurance is included, you must guarantee that you are accurately covered for any kind of accidents that might take place. Click here to find a public liability quote today. Payment: The premiums that you pay depend on the level of protection you purchase. If you simply insure your home, then the payments are very likely to be much less than if you are covering a business. Although, payments are pretty cheap for the extent of cover that you have to pay for, and it is therefore important for anybody running a business. Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off

| December 31st, 2008 | Whois Data Base Closures Hurt Consumers Say FTC | ||
The Federal Trade Commission realizes that the Whois Data Base information can be hidden from view for only $9.00 per year for domain name owners. Many scam website frauds can therefore hide for weeks until a court order is issued to turn over that information. This helps Spammers, Phishers and Identity Thieves pull scams. But critics say that if people allow their listing then they get bombarded with Spam too. Spammers scour the Whois databases and collect email addresses to Spam us all with. So it is a Catch 22 in that the FTC needs to get to these Spammers websites and find out who-is-who, but privacy people say they are not happy with the Federal Trade Commissions request and cite that the FTC has been unable to stop Spam anyway. Therefore why is the FTC violating privacy rights, when they are suppose to stop Spam, which has gone up some 3000% since the Federal Trade Commission started to attempt to go after all the Spammers? Meanwhile, now there is a legal battle brewing and the FTC is looking rather incompetent these days as they had two-lap tops stolen in Scottsdale AZ with 110 personal identification information on of employees? Ouch? So is the FTC on its last leg these days or what? Dah? Talk about incompetence? Consider all this in 2006.

| December 31st, 2008 | Taking an Alaskan Cruise - What to Pack | ||
Packing in general can be a hassle. But when going on an Alaskan cruise, it can be even harder because of the colder weather. Here are some general suggestions to make this task a little easier. Casual clothing - You will want to take some casual clothing for the daytime. This will include jeans, cords, turtlenecks, and sweaters. Dress in layers - If you dress in layers, you can add or subtract layers as the weather dictates. Outerwear - You probably will not need a heavy down coat if you dress in layers, however, you will need a jacket. Dinner wear - You will want to dress up for dinner each night. If you stick to a core wardrobe color, you can mix and match. Use bold accessories such as pins, necklaces, and scarves to change up the look. Shoes - Try to plan your wardrobe around one basic color so that your shoes will match everything. Of course, dinner shoes will be different from every-day shoes. Misc - Remember to take your camera and binoculars. Don’t forget the film and extra batteries. An umbrella may also be needed. By packing this way, you may be able to get everything into one suitcase and a backpack that you can carry with you on the plane. You’ll be prepared and worry free!
