Hmmm, thatÂs what it looks like to me, too. Section 3, paragraph 13 says "EXCLUSIONS- For the purposes of registration, the term 'food establishment' does not include a food production facility as defined in paragraph (14), restaurant, other retail food establishment, nonprofit food establishment in which food is prepared for or served directly to the consumer, or fishing vessel..." And, as mentioned above, paragraph 14 defines food production facilities: "The term 'food production facility' means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation." In trying to sort this out, I also found this article, if itÂs helpful: The Truth about HR875 This is a puzzling issue, since there is such a lot of information against this bill on the internet, and many folks donÂt seem to agree on what it means. (I may need to do more reading.) Even if this particular bill doesn't affect our greenhouses and home gardens, I agree legislation like this can be twisted to cause problems if the scope isnÂt carefully watched by "regular folks." It reminds me a lot of the crazy Consumer Protection Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) that was overwhelmingly passed last August, and was to go into effect Feb. 10. It required ridiculously expensive tests for lead by government labs for every component (and every color) of any item manufactured for children. Sounds good, but as written, it would have put many small businesses, craftspeople, publishers, and kidÂs resale (thrift) stores out of business. Because of public outcry, it has now been delayed for one year, so that gives craftspeople and others more time to try to affect the outcome. Generally IÂm happy to see discussions like this. Too much legislation is passed without any understanding of how it will impact the lives of real people, and the only way to apply the brakes is for regular folks to pay attention and get vocal.

That curved beak is what it stabs its victims with....injects powerful digestive juices and then sucks the dissolved 'innards' back through the beak. The stab is very painful, as you can imagine, and the digestive juices can cause some very uncomfortable reactions. These fascinating insect are not beetles, but closely related to stinkbugs.

It appears that it is gone. I used the Remover instructions you gave me RC on the Google home page and never saw AVG when I clicked on the the AVG toolbar options/advance. Nor did I see it in IE. The only option for search providers was Google listed as default/enabled/not available. I saw it in Firefox and removed it. I have only uploaded that program a few months back but never used it. I removed the Google toolbar on the culprit Google home page that was with the AVG toolbar and the AVG disappeared. Then I brought back Google. I rebooted and it is still gone and not listed as a program.I am holding my breath as it is a backward way of following the directions though I tried carefully to do that. grandms.Your thought about the company called "On call 25/8" has been running through my mind since they came out and created a pw to get into Windows last week. They had my computer a couple of months ago when I couldn't find a graphic device and did a thorough look. There was something wrong about the guys paying forward pitch that bothered me. For $750 I could get so many hours of future help in my home. He also would take care of installing my new router and Apple apps. There are other On Call 25/8 companies and wonder if anyone has heard of them. Raven thanks again for standing by as I made my way through these instructions. I hope this is the end. This afternoon I read all the online complaints about AVG - some going back 3 years. I have an external back up device that may have AVG on it now.Maybe I should throw it away My feeling is that computers are not here to stay. Also, glad to see that the Facebook IPO fell on its face at least at first offering. So many demons. Thanks everyone and have a good dinner and weekend.

Thanks everyone. For some reason, gardenweb didn't forward me these responses until nadiag's today - so I assumed I hadn't gotten any replies. I think nadiag is right about their services - they don't cold call, but optimize searches on google, yahoo and msn searches so that you come up. The zip code exclusivity means that they won't perform this service for other therapists in those zip codes. If I wanted to pay a ton of money, I could get them to only work with me in the entire DC area. That doesn't mean other companies and individuals aren't optimizing their own names to appear on top during web searches. Osbist and rivkadr - I am working on a website. In fact, that cold call from Virtro really catalyzed me. I've contacted 2 web designers and gotten proposals. I've written more than half my content and already know which pages I want. Yes, it is a simple site in terms of not doing e-commerce on the site. Rivkadr - here in DC, most therapists I know don't have websites, but perhaps 5-10% do - and in a city with tons of therapist, that's still a lot on line. But almost all their websites are amateurish and the content is lacking in integrity and honesty toward potential clients. I know these sites work for some of them, but I want one that's more honest and reflective of the therapy process - and less insulting to the viewer's intelligence. I'd also like visual appeal and sophisticated design. My concern with Virtro is that I'm not sure they're offering anything I couldn't do myself with paying for google adwords. I think that's all they're doing - but on 3 search engines instead of one. They claim to be superior about knowing which adwords are most effective. Nadiag- it sounds like they have truly performed that way for you. I'm not sure I could do as well for myself. If I do google adwords myself, in a big city, you pay for the search words and number of clicks to your site - it's much more costly bc. therapists bid against each other to pay the most for those search words. So my monthly costs could well be the same as Virtro's charges - $150-300/month - which isn't very different than the yellow page ad I've had (that used to work to bring a few patients a year, but is no longer effective). Nadiag - when you hire Virtro, does your fee to them cover the cost for all those search words - or do you also have to pay google, yahoo, and msn for each keyword you've selected? I think that Virtro - just like google adwords - is much more expensive in a more concentrated, urban market. I'm so glad you stumbled on this thread and responded. I had thought I"d pass on Virtro - but since you've had success, I may recontact them and see if their cost includes all charges by the search engines to use those keywords. Thanks. Still happy to hear any other opinions. Lynn. PS - I can tell that I've already learned a fair bit since I posted 2 weeks ago.
