Floresta Farms
Looking for the perfect high breed Dogue De Bordeaux or French Bulldog? Floresta Farms high breeding standards never fail to impress me! I hate to ruin their high standard with cheap words, so let me encourage you to check them out for yourself!
A Note Worthy of Boasting About However....
As posted on their News Page:
"At 8:30 AM on Sunday July 6th 2008, Floresta's Maximus the Gladiator attained his last title, AKC Champion. Not only that, but he was the first Dogue De Bordeaux to earn this title just days after the breed was accepted to the working group with full AKC privileges. Max accomplished this at 5 ½ years old, during the 5 day cluster in Massachusetts. In grand style, he was undefeated in the breed, winning 5 Winners Dog awards, and 5 Best of Breeds. There was just no stopping him! We are so proud of his owners Andre Bouchard and Lynn Chacho. Max is now retired; there is simply nothing more he can accomplish.
Max was bred here at our farm and is the son of our beloved Cohutta's Rising Sun of Park Ave and out of Park Ave Wild Story."
CONGRATS AGAIN AND AGAIN FLORESTA FARMS!

BAD NEWS FOR MANY EBAY SELLERS STORES
THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP FROM THE LAST NEWSLETTER CONCERNING EBAY STORE'S FLASH LINK CONTROLS NOT WORKING.
Another client, Jim of Trents Treasure Trove, recently contacted me telling me they heard that ebay will soon not allow flash in their store designs and auction templates at all, some time in early 2009. I've done a research on this, it seems that the policy is still being worked on, which means we have some time to make a big fuss and maybe change their minds. Here's an email I received from one of the ebay reps:
Dear Crystal,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to eBay Stores.
That is correct, to remove the risk and still allow members to provide a rich experience similar to active content, eBay will gradually roll-out a safe mark-up language and approved "widgets" for uses such as counters, photo galleries, video, and cross-merchandising. Safe HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) will be allowed, but JavaScript and Flash will not be allowed.
You can read more about new item page features by visiting the page below:

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reply to this email and let us know.
Sincerely,
Shaun F. A.

Okay, what we can and need to do if we want to keep the flash in our ebay stores is to basically blow a horn in their ears (create a fuss) and then get the word out to as many other ebay sellers that we know, as possible... to make a big fuss too!
Remember, this policy is not in effect just yet. It's "on the table" so they can "work the kinks out".... which means we have time to submit a complaint, or a "suggestion" in an effort to keep flash in our designs to keep our cutting edge and our investments worth while. Ebay has a site where you can submit your "suggestion", so I found it.. submitted my own "suggestion".
Please take some time to submit your suggestion to ebay as soon as possible.

Or if you'd rather talk by phone, you can contact eBay live, here's their support phone # 866-322-9103
Next thing you can do is: Send this email to as many ebayers as you know. Family and friends... Just as many people as you can to get the word out. Let them know what's going on, and give them that link to submit a suggestion. Perhaps ebay will hear enough complaints and change their mind on this policy.
