	From: Cathryn Scheeler, Desert Breeze Glass    Did you know you can reduce the chances of your auto glass exploding from our Arizona temperatures? If you just crack a right and left doorglass just ¼ inch or open your sun roof will help release some the heat build up in your vehicle. This will also help with the chips in your windshield from splitting. Your glass expands from the heat and contracts with the cold. For more information on auto glass safety please contact Desert Breeze Glass at 480-752-8191 or visit our web site www.desertbreezeglass.com “Put your glass needs at ease with Desert Breeze”
	From: Terri Rabicoff at Data Preserve Did you know that one item that is almost never on the top ten "to do" list of a business owner or office manager but should be, is that avoided topic of computer data backup. That's surprising considering that statistically, 50% of all small companies that have a catastrophic data loss NEVER open their doors again. Of the remaining 50%, half close or go out of business within three years. Fortunately, there is an easy and inexpensive way of preventing this. Please don't let your business fall on the wrong side of this statistic; take action to protect your valuable computer data that is so critical to your business operations. Call Terri Rabicoff at Data Preserve at 602-235-0395.
	From: Patricia McNaught Foster, FeatherWolf Graphic Design, Recently a client of mine called to ask why her website was down. This was a site that she set up the hosting herself. I called her hosting company to see if I could help and was told that her hosting and her domain registration had expired. The company had sent 5 emails to her reminding her and she had ignored them. She lost her domain name! Many people don't realize that there are businesses out there on the web that have computer programs that watch for any domains that expire and have gone past the grace period for renewing them. They are programmed to buy up those domains and then resell them to the original owner at an extremely high price. A small business owner could lose their domain and never get it back! So please always pay attention to any reminders from your domain registration and hosting company and DO NOT LET YOUR DOMAIN NAME EXPIRE!    Another important note: many times someone with a domain name and website may receive in the mail what appears to be a reminder notice to renew their domain. They may follow the directions on the form to do so but what is actually happening is that another company has just gotten them to transfer their domain name registration management to them! Most domain registration companies send you reminder notices via email and may even give you a courtesy call to remind you. Always pay attention to the name of your current registration company's name and do not be fooled!
