Google works very well and is totally free as an alternative, and I also have several domains that cost me $6 to $8 per year for registration at Go Daddy and an additional $5 PER YEAR for hosting at eRice.net.

These accounts have had better than 99% reliability over the years, when I change ISPs I don't have to change email addresses, and on the very rare occasion when there is a problem, I don't have to try to deal with essentially non-existent 'tech support.' I am just not enough of a masochist to deal with Hughes when not necessary! ;)

Wedding bells for Bush's daughter Jenna draw near

By Jeremy Pelofsky Thu May 8, 1:04 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush has been trying to cajole North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons and tamp down violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, but lately all that seems to be on his mind are wedding bells.

Bush has sprinkled references to his twin daughter Jenna's wedding in most public appearances for the last few months, even seeking advice from a recent groom.

"I had to face some very difficult spending decisions and I've had to conduct sensitive diplomacy," Bush told the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in March. "That's called planning for a wedding."

Eschewing the glamour and media glare of a White House wedding, Jenna Bush will marry the son of a Virginia politician, Henry Hager, at a private ceremony with family and friends at the president's Texas ranch on Saturday evening.

"I've never really lived in the White House," the 26-year-old bride and school teacher said in an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live" last month. "And I've lived in Texas my whole life and so really what feels like home is Texas."

The last White House wedding was in 1971 when President Richard Nixon's daughter, Tricia, was married in the Rose Garden to Edward Cox.

Bush had an altar built of limestone at his 1,600 acre (647 hectares) ranch for the ceremony, which will be held just before sundown when the notorious Texas heat subsides.

The bride and her parents have repeatedly denied being nervous about the big day, instead expressing excitement. "Neither one of us are nervous," first lady Laura Bush told reporters this week.

The bride will wear an Oscar de la Renta gown with her twin Barbara as the sole bridesmaid, according to Vogue magazine.

The White House has tried to keep the media focus away from the twins, particularly after they developed a reputation as party girls during their college days when they were arrested for underage drinking.

Jenna has no great affinity for the press and was once captured in photo sticking her tongue out at reporters from a presidential limousine. Even so, she has given several recent interviews to promote a children's book about reading that she wrote with her mother Laura Bush.

Hager previously worked as a White House aide and on Bush's presidential campaign. He is the son of former Virginia Lieutenant Gov. John Hager who is now the chairman of the Virginia Republican Party.

The groom is expected to receive his masters degree in business from the University of Virginia next week, according to media reports.

The couple plans to live in Baltimore, Maryland where Jenna Bush will teach and her husband will work for Constellation Energy, the reports said.

The two were engaged last August during a hike in the mountains of Maine.

Woman conned out of $4,200

BY TOM ALEX • REGISTER STAFF WRITER • MAY 6, 2008



A Des Moines woman who uses a telecommunications device for the deaf lost about $4,200 in a scam that authorities say will be nearly impossible to counteract.



Police said Linda Pierce, 52, learned through an e-mail that she had won $100,000 in a "deaf persons lotto." She wired money to Nigeria almost daily between April 21 and last Wednesday. By that time, she'd seen no winnings.



Then on Wednesday, Pierce received a message saying that her money was in an airplane that was circling Des Moines and that she needed to send $550 more for a landing fee tax.

Police took a report from her at the Des Moines airport. Authorities said Pierce showed them the e-mails, and officers determined that the lotto was a scam.



"It's the very worst case of a scam artist targeting the most vulnerable people in the community," said Chris Coleman, Better Business Bureau of Greater Iowa president.



A friend of Pierce who lives in Illinois had her cell phone stolen recently. Pierce's computer screen name was among the information stored on the cell phone.

"At last I found this was a scam when I went to the airport to meet the private jet to pick up $100,000. But nothing," Pierce said.



The telecommunications device for the deaf is used by many Des Moines residents, Coleman said.



"Sometimes conversations use a third party, which is sometimes a machine and a computer that translates voice into type and type into voice," he said. "Some do use people. You would hope an interpreter would provide some level of advice, but in some cases they are restricted from doing that."

When a caller has information about the person being called, as was the case with Pierce's caller, there is a tendency to believe the call is legitimate, Coleman said.



Bob Brammer, spokesman for the Iowa attorney general's office, said Nigerian scams come in various forms. Many involve counterfeit checks. Some involve fees paid to collect on bogus contests.



"I've never heard of paying landing fees, but the rest of it we've seen for decades," Brammer said. "Very few of these are solved. When people wire money and it's a scam, they've pretty much wired it down a rat hole."

Organizations for the deaf issue warnings about scams as they are reported, said Kathryn Baumann-Reese, administrator of the Deaf Services Commission of Iowa. "But the scams keep changing," she said.



The Better Business Bureau says anyone who encounters a suspected scam should contact the bureau at 243-8137, (800) 222-1600 or iowa.bbb.org.
