Russell Grant’s Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 18 November 2010

Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re not thinking clearly about money matters. Ask your best friend, business partner, or lover to help you make order out of this chaos. Writing down everything you buy, whether it’s a new outfit or stick of gum, will show you where all of your money really goes. Beware of wasting your money on insignificant purchases. Bring your lunch instead of buying it, brew your own coffee, and get reading material from the library.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’re not getting a lot of direction from your boss so it looks like you’ll have to make your own way. Just be sure to play by the book. You don’t want to give your superiors any excuse to fire you. Fortunately, your colleagues sympathise with your situation and will go the extra mile to help. Lean on an experienced colleague when you’re out of your depth. Their advice will help you finish a difficult project well before the deadline.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Contrary to what you might think, it is important to get formal training to get ahead. Yes, your hands on experience is valuable, but it won’t impress officials. If you’re going to get ahead in a desired field, you need to get a diploma or certificate from an accredited institution. Your studies will cut into your leisure time, but you will enjoy the intellectual stimulation that your classes afford. Plus, you’ll make a very close friend who serves as the yin to your yang.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Check your credit card bills and bank statements for inconsistencies. You don’t want to get charged for things you didn’t buy. These days, identity theft is so rampant that everybody needs to be vigilant about their accounts. An older relative has good advice about finding a job. Although it may have been a long time since they have been working, they still have good instincts about what it takes to get hired.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Deceiving a loved one will do irreparable damage to your relationship. If you’re engaged in shady behaviour, it needs to stop. Compulsive shopping, sneaking around, gambling, drinking…if you feel the need to hide things, it’s because they’re wrong. Talking to a counsellor will make you understand why you feel compelled to lead this double life. With a little work, you won’t feel tempted again. Nothing defeats addiction like bringing it into the harsh light of day.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A mysterious illness is causing problems at work. It’s hard to get steady employment when you always have to phone in sick. Maybe it’s time to see a specialist. Look for someone who has extensive experience with the part of the body or system that’s giving you trouble. You might also want to ask friends and family if they have recommendations. Going public with the issue will take a great deal of stress off your shoulders.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You’re having a hard time finding time for fun. It seems like everybody needs something from you now. Changing your priorities is critical. Devote a set time each day or week to your favourite activity, whether it’s a hobby, sport, or relaxation measure. Make this timeslot sacrosanct. That way, it won’t fall through the cracks and you won’t feel resentful when helping others. As with everything important in your life, it’s all about balance.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Usually, you have a good handle on your feelings. Now you’re not so sure what your emotions are. Part of the problem is you have difficulty feeling conflicted about loved ones. Putting friends and family on pedestals gets you in lots of trouble, because they invariably fall from these perches. Make allowances for people’s human imperfections. Working in seclusion will put some extra money in your pocket. Luckily, you enjoy the peace and quiet.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) This is a terrible time to sign contracts, no matter how pressured you feel. If you do enter into a legal agreement, you can be sure it will work against your interests. Hold out for a better situation, even if you have to pay a fine or take a temporary financial hit. Friends in high places will find a channel for your talents. If you need a job, spread the word. Somebody in your social circle will alert you to an upcoming job opening.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Step up your efforts if you aim to make the money you need to get the luxuries you want. That means taking on more responsibility, working longer hours, and tougher assignments. At times, you’ll feel like you’ve been separated from the team, forced to operate alone. Still, these quiet hours of seclusion will be very productive. Your enhanced performance will attract the attention of people in power, putting you in line for a promotion, rise, or both.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your priorities have become confused and changes in your current world of work or sphere of operations make it not as attractive as it used to be. A person you once adored has lost their charm. You’re not even sure you want to live in the same part of the world anymore. Fortunately, a respected expert is poised to give you guidance. Take their words to heart. A short trip out of town will give you the perspective you need to make a change.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Dwelling on the past is only preventing you from realising your potential. Stop making excuses for why life hasn’t worked to your satisfaction. You can find happiness if you choose. It’s as simple as facing your demons. Stop living vicariously through loved ones and do something for yourself. Pursuing your dream career will take lots of work, but it will also give a great deal of satisfaction. A relative or neighbour could help you get a hearing.

anti spam/scam article which should be read


  1. 3) More raids in Romania of online scammers, predominantly eBay scammers. ...UALadys regarding this spam results in denial of ... Attempts to contact anyone at
    www.spamzy.com/tag/index-phptitle - 133k
this is a point that we have always questioned - why do the registrars allow domain registration of spam and scam sites - surely the quickest way to close these down is for the law enforcement officers check the owners of the suspect sites out? Of course they can use fronts!

here is one comment on the link above raising this point.

Registrars: The Weakest Link

Comments Off

Why are registrars allowing blatantly fake information to be provided when registering a domain name?

Right now, with virtually any registrar you care to name, you can register a domain name using the name Mickey Mouse and you’ll probably be approved. You can do so without ever speaking to a representative of the company who’s registering the domain, and your hilarious fake registrant entry will indeed show up once your domain is approved.

Why is this the case?

For several years now, I and several of my colleagues have been documenting and reporting domains used by illegal pharmacy spammers which were registered using the following completely fake personal data:

Goldbug100 - New VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. Website Press Release

Press Release Source: VIASPACE Inc. On Tuesday November 16, 2010, 8:30 am EST

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:VSPC.ob - News), announced that its renewable energy subsidiary, VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:VGREF.ob - News), launched its new website focusing on Giant King Grass. The website can be accessed at www.viaspacegreenenergy.com or www.vgref.com or through www.VIASPACE.com.

Chief Executive Dr. Carl Kukkonen commented, "The new website is designed to answer many customer and investor requests for information about what Giant King Grass can do; what are its applications; and its advantages over other energy crops. We worked to present all of this information in one easily accessible website. We also have additional detailed technical information and test results that are available to qualified potential customers under confidentiality agreements."

The website covers the VIASPACE Green Energy business plan and strategy, the role of biomass in renewable energy, the characteristics of Giant King Grass including its extremely high yield and excellent energy content. Giant King Grass is a tropical and subtropical perennial grass that yields 45 dry tons per acre with energy content of 7900 BTU per pound. Giant King Grass has much higher yield than other energy crops, and therefore can be produced at much lower cost. It is not a food crop, and can be grown on marginal land that is not being used for agriculture today. Giant King Grass can be sustainably grown and does not sacrifice food for fuel. It is low carbon-- nearly carbon neutral--and renewable.

VIASPACE Green Energy's website explains the multiple applications for Giant King Grass including fuel for biomass power plants, and feedstock for biomass pellets, cellulosic liquid biofuels, and bio-methane. Kukkonen stated, "We want to show people how diverse Giant King Grass is by explaining its many applications, and how much more advantageous it is to use Giant King Grass in producing energy compared to other energy crops out there."

The website also features VIASPACE Green Energy's first commercial product, the Green Log™ campfire and fireplace logs. The first container of the Green Log will be arriving in the US later this week.

VIASPACE Green Energy is a majority owned (75.7%) subsidiary of VIASPACE Inc. Both companies are publicly listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. VIASPACE (VSPC) has been listed and fully reporting to the SEC since June 2005. VIASPACE Green Energy (VGREF) has been listed and reporting since January 2010 and the company is awaiting approval of electronic clearing by the Depository Trust Company (DTC). Shares in VGREF can be traded now without electronic clearing but this could be more costly. VIASPACE shares are electronically cleared by DTC. VIASPACE Green Energy currently has 8,600,000 shares issued and outstanding.
