sure you can get a virus through any type of email, most webmail now days does scan the emails for viruses, however there are some that can and do get by them. Many of the virus scanners do not do a good job on catching many of the nasty trojans out there and if you are sent just a link to click on that sends you to a malicious site that then infects you well there was nothing there for the email scanners to find, it was the link itself that was the mode of infection. Which is why it is so important to not just randomly click on those links. Always hover the cursor over the link address in the email then look down in the bottom of your browser bar and see if that address that pops up there matches, if not then you know you have a re-director link and you definitely want to avoid those, who knows where it is sending you and what might be on that site.

I'm a woman. I also understand statistics. >I understand your stats that we are more likely to get into a car accident than have a child abducted from their bed but do you think that Polly Klaas's parents would take comfort in those stats. So if it was your child you would just say wow, they had more of a chance being killed in a car accident than being abducted from home. That's insane thinking. If my kids died because they got a phenomenally rare form of cancer, I'd be devastated, but I wouldn't spend time obsessing about the possibilities of really rare cancers and wouldn't make sure I lived close to a great cancer center, just in case. Nor would I go around hysterically advising parents of the same if it DID happen. >The biggest risk from an unlocked window is burglary and a possible encounter with the burglar(s). That risk will vary greatly by location and time of day. The VAST majority of robberies are during the day--for a reason! If someone who knows you wants to kill you, having a bedroom on the second floor isn't going to help. And the vast majority of murders are of this type. If a stranger is interested in a crime of opportunity, there are many other things to think about before decided that having no first-floor bedrooms window is the solution. A stranger can enter just as easily through any other window and then CLIMB THE STAIRS. Windows can be broken, believe it or not, too. Want to block off all windows with bars? Then you're far more likely to die--from a fire! If you live in a bad neighborhood or a neighborhood with high "crime exposure," then you should have burglar alarms, lights, thorny plants, a dog, etc., before worrying about what floor your bedroom is on. Best advice for not getting murdered? Stay away from unstable people. Seriously. Be careful who you marry! And stay away from drugs, gangs, etc., and those who are involved in them. Don't work in a convenience store or gas station. or be a food delivery person. Don't live in the most crime-ridden neighborhoods, and don't walk through them, either. There. You've just taken out more than 98% of the risk of being killed.

1) Talk to the Customer Service departments of these companies. 2) Choose the one that seems best and order it from Amazon so you can return it if it doesn't seem to grip well. 3) The biggest problem with mounting a rail on a wall is not drilling through the tile, but mounting it securely on the wallboard underneath. Unless blocking was previously installed, it is rarely possible to find a pair of studs that match the rail length. Molly bolts (not plastic anchors) are another option for rail mounting.

Shutters are classic and transitional! As a window treatment specialist, I highly recommend Hunter Douglas Newstyle and Norman Woodlore. (Not a fan of HD Palm Beach- mine have turned yellow twice since I have been in the house in 8 years- HD replaced the first set). You can do an outside mount on the frame. As long as the trim isn't super wavy, it doesn't look bad and saves money on redoing trim. Most people want more view through and do a hidden tilt bar. Because you have limited depth, there is one distinct difference between Norman and HD. Norman makes their hidden tilt inside the frame so that you don't need an extra 3/8" behind the shutter for operation. HD has an exposed bar on the back. Some pros to shutters: great insulation, can do a split tilt bar to allow 1/2 shutter to open , while bottom stays closed, good on resale, no cords :).
