I have been having a heck of a time getting my USB print servers to work my my parents HP multifunction printer. I finally went out and bought a Netgear PS121v2 because I thought it was the old Linksys Print Server. It was not it was the configuration of FIOS and my settings. Well I finally got it to work by doing the following. I didnt use the Resource CD, I setup a regular TCP/IP printer port for the printer, went to Custom when the network card type came up and set it as LPR with a Queue named PS121v2 per Netgears instructions. Now this was ONLY after going into the Verizon FIOS router, which the password is password1 usually done by the technician, username is usually admin. I had to pretty much let the traffic not be blocked by the router from the IP address that I set the Print Server to. It seems the Firewall settings on the FIOS router are like fort knox by default. Anyway all is working in the land of milk and honey now, but my suggestion is to not go with the default setup on the Netgear disk but rather the direct IP and LPR queue.

Hydroxyzine Pamoate is generic Atarax
My one Australian Shepherd was using Atarax and it was costing me a ton. She has pretty bad allergies and that was the only thing that helps. When I went to the vet I got Hydroxyzine Pamoate but I had to call and make sure it was the same as Atarax before I gave it to my dog. All is well in the land of dog allergies.
You can remove it the following ways:
Add/Remove programs – uninstall KB925876
and
for some people you may need to go to C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB925876$\spuninst and remove it by uninstalling it from there.
I had to remove it because the clipboard was not working correctly for me.

Auto-Body Filler instead of Plastic Wood
I knew I had read this somewhere it just took me a little while to find it. I put in some new http://www.certainteed.com replacement windows, but I need to fix some of the rotted wood sills outside.
So it seems auto-body filler is fine to use, cheaper, easier to sand. I say that is what I will be doing.

Air Duct Cleaning is it worth it?
I was thinking about getting my air ducts in my home cleaned. I found a pretty good information page which you can read
http://www.air-techinternational.com/homeprep.html
I think it is a good idea but I did not realize it would probably cost 500 dollars or so. Also it is kind of scary thinking how much damage a bad person could do. I guess they need to be licensed and such. I guess I am lazy also because I dont want them taking off all the painted air vents I currently have.
So I need only the fitted sheet not the whole set and I do not want to pay a ton of money. Those over 21 inch deep pocket sets queen size run over $150 usually. Anyway so I think I found the solution over at http://www.preciousbedding.com/ They seem to have fitted sheets that fit up to 22 inch deep pockets and for pretty cheap also.
UPDATE: Got my sheet from preciousbedding.com fine. I would give them a good review, the sheet came quickly and the price is right. I would use them again.
