A family home for a stress free life in the country




Published on Monday 16 April 2012 17:20

BUYING a house in the Western Isles without even seeing the property might be too risky a move for many people, but it’s one that paid off for Ness residents Iain and June McInnes and family.

Admitting that it was ‘the craziest thing we’ve ever done’, the McInnes first set eyes on their new home in 2010 upon return to the UK from their farm-stead in Canada for family business.

“It was very interesting when we first arrived,” laughed June, “But it’s a nice location and a lovely house and it suited us fine as we’re rural living people.”

Since moving into the Eoropie property, Iain and June have redecorated extensively, with new flooring through as well as stripping off five layers of wallpaper from the upstairs bedrooms to reveal the original wooden boards.

“We found that the wallpaper was keeping the damp in and now it’s back to the boards the house breaths as it was supposed to and we’ve had no more problems with damp,” said Iain.

The house is also kept nice and cosy through the brand new central heating system installed throughout, including an outside combi-boiler that Iain revealed uses half the amount of oil the family home previously took to heat.

Loft insulation has helped keep out the cold and a stylish and efficient stove in the living room provides not only warmth, but a place to cook during a power cut!

Iain said: “The house has done us really well. We were told it’s made of blue stone, a local stone, and we’ve had no trouble at all, even in the gales – we’ve not even lost a tile from the roof since we moved here.”

And with six young children the Eoropie property has proved an ideal family home as June said: “It’s been great for the kids, the beach is just five minutes away and there’s an excellent playpark just over the road.

“The people in the community are lovely, really friendly and there’s always something going on, a car-boot sale, a ceilidh or an event at the nearby social club.”

Along with two upstairs bedrooms, the house contains a third bedroom downstairs, bathroom, living room and kitchen, as well as a lovely ‘Garden Room’ with hardwood glazed windows delivering wonderful views. Iain and June also highlight that there’s ‘still room for improvement’ and point to a blocked up door in the kitchen which could be freed to lead into a conservatory, taking full advantage of the back vista which looks out onto the shore.

Selling up in order to return to Canada where the couple’s four eldest children still live Iain, June and family are looking forward to another adventure as June added with a chuckle: “We’re going back to the wilds!”

The house at 16 Eoropie, Ness, is for sale at offers over £95,000. For more information or to book a viewing, contact Ken Macdonald & Co Lawyers and Estate Agents on 01851 704040.

Analysis: Can Canada back up tough talk on securities crimes?

By Jennifer Kwan and Pav Jordan
(Reuters) - Lawyer John Mountain watched with frustration last year as the shares of Sino-Forest (TRE.TO: Quote) fell through the floor after short-seller Carson Block accused the China-focused forestry company of fraudulently exaggerating its assets.
It took six days before Canadian-listed Sino-Forest confirmed that regulators were probing the matter. But it was more than two months before the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), Canada's chief regulator, halted trading in the stock.

Norton Scientific Reviews: Scammers’ Valentine Treat



A global security company issued a scam warning against spam messages with catchy subject lines for Internet users this Valentine’s season.
Users must be extra careful in opening messages in their email accounts especially during the holidays as they can receive spam mails meant to get their attention and steal their personal data.
One such scam warning issued by an antivirus company describes email messages that invites users to buy a gift for his/her loved one for Valentine’s using an attached discount coupon from Groupon.
Even though the proliferation of coupon services is not totally an illegal method, their popularity comes with the risk of being used in phishing attacks.
Phishing can be done by sending a massive amount of email messages asking people to enter their details on a bogus website — one that looks very similar to the popular auction sites, social networking sites and online payment sites. They are designed to obtain personal details like passwords, credit card information, etc.
Through including links in email messages, scammers trick users into visiting malicious sites and online stores, obtaining personal data along the way. Most of the time, the website the link points to is not even connected to the email message but only shows the user promotional content. This is the scammer’s illegal way of earning money called click fraud — they earn for every user they have redirected to a certain website.
There is also scam making the rounds in Germany involving gift coupons, distributed through Facebook, purporting to be from Amazon.
Spywares and malwares are malicious programs that install themselves on a computer unit to record a user’s activity. Eventually, they will send the logs they have collected back to the scammer who plans on pilfering the data for online crimes.
Scammers are freely exploiting different online platforms like Orkut, Myspace, Google+ and Twitter to cast their net on millions of users.
Yet another malicious spam has been spreading on Facebook, and like its predecessors, it makes use of users’ walls to post the fake message.
The post might appear harmless to most users as it only poses an invitation to install a Valentine’s Day theme for their Facebook profile. However, once a user clicks the malicious post, they will be redirected to a different webpage containing the install button.
Clicking install will not do any change to your profile though; worse, it will install a malware file that will show various ads and surveys and download an extension to monitor the user’s online behavior.

This System Tool 2011 removal guide includes 2 System Tool 2011 Videos and a Manual Guide. By jammyleila on November 4, 2011 This is a review of Broad and Wade’s Betrayers of the Truth. The author uses a subtitle which is revealing: the loyalist responds to heresy not by seeing that something might be wrong, that there may be some merit to this sort of reassessment, but by defending the ideology. Zinder has managed to misread Broad and Wade in several places. There is sufficient misrepresentation to mean that he read the book very selectively. “The authors continually confound science with scientists. And the book...Read Full Story

Avoiding online scams



It's Scam Awareness Week, and David Hall has some tips to keep you safe online.

Phishing is essentially an online scam, and phishers are nothing more than tech-savvy con artists.

Online scams constantly evolve to reflect popular events in the news. They're successful is because a scam is not about physically attacking a computer, rather fooling the user into clicking on a poisoned link. They use spam, malicious websites, email messages and instant messages to trick people into divulging sensitive information, such as bank and credit card accounts.

According to the latest Norton Cybercrime Report, more than 868,206 New Zealanders fell victim to cybercrime in 2010, suffering $288.2 million in direct financial losses.

Phishers may use email to request personal information and direct recipients to respond through malicious websites.
Look out for phishers using emotional language, scare tactics or urgent requests to entice recipients to respond.

Phishing sites can look remarkably legitimate, because they tend to use the copyrighted images from legitimate sites.
Be on the lookout for requests for confidential information via email or instant message.

Remember that fraudulent messages are often not personalised and poorly written.

Lastly, think about any offer, any advertisement, any email, and website before you act on any request. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Norton has several free and premium products that can help protect against online scams.

Norton Mobile Security Lite protects your mobile device against loss, theft and malware. Safeguard against malicious URLs by scanning your Facebook feed using Norton Safe Web, which protects your friends by advising them of malicious links.

The Norton Snap QR Code Reader protects your mobile device from online threats by warning you of dangerous QR codes and blocking unsafe websites before they load on your device.

Norton Identity Safe gives you secure access to your website logins, credit card details and secure notes if you're using a computer at an internet cafe or hotel business centre.

Not all antivirus programs are equipped to handle scams, because they only look to protect against intrusive attacks such as viruses. A security program such as Norton One and Norton 360 Version 6 will block or warn you about spam emails and protect you on the web by alerting you if you have stumbled on to a fraudulent or phishing website.
