Hi all, I posted this on the African violet forum today. I decided post it here too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Because I have been hearing conflicting opinions of what iVillage claims to have proprietary rights over I decided to look over the document a little closer. I should have done this sooner before posting an opinion. I'm no lawyer, so don't consider my interpretation of the copyright statement to be the final word. When looking at 7. Rights of Content paragraph 2, I also see no reference to iVillage laying claim to the link to any picture. And, that makes sense. If one posts a picture, it becomes a physical part of the forum. A link to it picture would not be a part of the forum and could be in some ways construed as a footnote or reference. It is sort of the same if I were to post a picture belonging to someone else, without their permission, I would be in violation of copyright laws. However, if I post a URL, where this picture resides, I have not violated copyright laws, because I have shown the owner of the picture. Another concern that people have had, in this same paragraph, is of iVillage having proprietary rights of the content of one's personal web page. People are concerned that if one were to link to his or her web page or web site that iVillage would lay claim to that also. After looking at the wording it seems to me that one's personal web site is really our member page. I came to that conclusion because in the first line it does say, ' By submitting content, which shall include your member name, to any "public area" of the Garden Web network, including, but not limited to, the forums and your personal web site, exchange page or journal...'. The use of the term web site for our member page is very confusing. Nowhere else on Garden Web is our member page referred to as our web site. I think it's OK for iVillage to have a legal document that spells things out in legalese. But I think that it would be a good idea if there was a place where this was spelled out in layman's terms. I really don't understand why iVillage doesn't respond to some of the threads in the suggestions and comments forum. When these interpretations and rumors start it is best to address the problems immediately so that people don't get upset and spend considerable time dwelling on them. There are people who have decided to leave G. W. because of what may be false interpretations on their part. I don't know. I like Garden Web a lot. I think it's one of the best message boards out there and I want to continue to be a part of it. Larry

I ordered from her site for the first time this year! What a gorgeous selection of heirloom tomatoes she has! Shipping was fast and the germination rates have been very good. I will order from her every Spring, along with my regular Pine Tree Seeds:) She must have noticed the kinds of tomatoes I preferred because she sent me free samples of 2 other kinds. When I researched them, they also were the sweet kinds of beefsteaks I adore. That's going above and beyond:) I found her companies name on the Upstate NY forum here and I'm so thankful I did. I love giving local people my business.

I had a pipe burst under my basement, which I'd been using as a family room. It was fully carpeted and well-lit. The dirty water just bubbled up under the carpet padding and left horrible muddy stains . I thought of filing an insurance claim. My insurance agent recommended a company called "Serv-Pro" which did an absolutely fantastic job of cleaning the carpet. I believe it is a national chain. This is not spam, just my actual experience.

Yeah, I'm using it even now. It helps me to know where the calls and texts came from. I also used to block unknown phone numbers that called me and bothered me with annoying stuff like advertising. So I decided to look for an application or a site on the internet to know who the owner of the unknown phone number is. I found a great site livesupportrhino.com that provides me a general access to a full report of the person behind the anonymous number. It usually includes the name, location and street. You can also find the list of area codes there.
