I trade options for a living. I started trading options part-time in 1999 while still holding down a day job. But since 2006, I've devoted my time to the market and options trading is now my full-time job. I run an investment group dedicated to options trading and I follow stock trading reviews to help keep me abreast of trading strategies. Our investment group maintains a trading site that shows how to trade options. We've devoted our options trading site to providing educational information so that novice traders who want to learn to trade options can easily access trading courses and strategies. Our trading strategies are based on AJ Brown's tradingtrainer.com option trading course. We've integrated and adopted these trading strategies with Ron Ianieri's option trading techniques at options university. These trading strategies are based on stock charting and technical analysis of price and volume movements. These swing trading techniques revolve around the technical indicators such as the Bollinger Bands, the candlestick patterns, the elliott wave principle (or elliott wave theory), and the fibonacci sequence. If you're itching to trade the markets and have some interests in trading options, I invite you to come join our trading group.

I am an information technology consultant. I support internetworking environments for large fortune 500 companies and for web hosting companies including 1and1, hostgator, fatcow hosting, and midPhase hosting. An internetwork is a collection of individual networks, connected by intermediate networking devices, that functions as a single large network. Internetworking refers to the industry, products, and procedures that meet the challenge of creating and administering internetworks. The first networks utilized by web hosting companies such as bluehost and 1and1 were time-sharing networks that used mainframes and attached terminals. Such environments were implemented by both IBM's System Network Architecture (SNA) and Digital's network architecture. Local area networks (LANs) evolved around the PC revolution. LANs enabled multiple users in a relatively small geographical area to exchange files and messages, as well as access shared resources such file servers. Wide-area networks (WANs) interconnect LANs across normal telephone lines (and other 1&1 media), thereby interconnecting geographically dispersed users. Today, high-speed LANs and switched internetworks are becoming widely used, largely because they operate at very high speeds and support such high bandwidth applications as voice and videoconferencing. Internetworking evolved as solution to three key problems: isolated LANs, duplication of resources, and a lack of network management. Isolated LANs made electronic communication between different offices or department impossible. Duplication of resources meant that the same hardware and software had to be supplied to each office or department, as did a separate support staff. This lack of network management meant that no centralized method of managing and troubleshooting networks existed. Implementing a functional 1and1 internetwork is no simple task. Many challenges must be faced, especially in the areas of connectivity, reliability, network management, and flexibility. Each area is key in establishing an efficient and effective internetwork. The challenge when connecting various systems is to support communication between disparate technologies. Different sites, for example, may use different types of media, or they might operate at varying speeds. Another essential consideration, reliable service, must be maintained in any internetwork. Individual users and entire organizations depend on consistent, reliable access to network resources. Furthermore, network management must provide centralized support and troubleshooting capabilities in an internetwork. Configuration, security, performance, and other issues must be adequately addressed for the internetwork to function smoothly. Flexibility, the final concern, is necessary for network expansion and new applications and services, among other factors.

Briefly;

My name is Christine. I'm a retired high-school teacher from NSW.

I am not new to  anti-fluoridation campaigning.

I taught for some years in the town of Moree, before I moved to Oakey , where I now live. 

 In the early eighties the Moree council announced they were going to fluoridate the local water!

The town was in an uproar.

 Especially when a Swedish exchange student, at one of the high schools said , 'They can't do that . It's criminal. Fluoridating the water is virtually is just an excuse for getting rid of industrial toxic waste. It was banned in Sweden years ago, because of the dangers to the human body .' 

Petitions were signed. I did my bit & wrote  letters to the local paper & joined with others in the campaign to stop the fluoridation.

At that time I'm glad to say we did manage to halt the fluoridation.

I really dont know what the situation is now. I have a feeling that the town will have succombed to fluridation - most of NSW has.

This time I guess (as in Queensland) there won't have been a choice.

When I lived in Moree the water was sweet, clean & healthy.

The famed hot spa springs, second to none.

We used to fill bottles with the spa water to take that home to drink as well .
