I have a small, niche, health food store in a medium-sized city in New York state. One of the products I sell is Acai. I’ve stocked Acai health products for many, many years, and it has recently become very popular due to a number of high profile media discussions. I have found myself ordering new stocks almost every day. Of course this is great, and my business is running really well despite the heavy recession we are experiencing.
I sat reading reports on line about some Internet Acai retailers employing, shall we say, slightly less than legitimate business practices. This doesn’t really affect me as such, as these retailers are not in direct competition with my small shop. When a scam becomes synonymous with Acai, however, my sales will suffer. People simply see Acai as a scam; they do not separate the concept of on line scams involving Acai, and the product itself.
Now all this is very unfortunate, and something needed to be done about it. Fortunately many hundreds of people in Arizona felt the same way. Central Coast Nutraceuticals have been selling health products on line for a while now, and the advertising and sales techniques have generally been criticized as deceptive. It took the attorney general of Arizona to bring a case against CCN before anything really happened. The result in this case being brought against CCN was a quick and decisive settlement in the State’s favor. The total settlement sum was $1,375,000.
The main problem that attorney general Terry Goddard had with CCN was in there free trial offers which involve products like Acai berry. The free trial was a precursor for a much more expensive subscription for delivery of products on a regular basis. CCN had a license to print money. I suspect that $1,375,000 will not hurt the organization too much at all.

If you’ve been using Ares as long as I have, then you know how frustrating it is when you can’t connect to the network. Unfortunately this has been happening a lot more than normal recently. It is happening so much, in fact, that I started to wonder whether the Ares network was broken. A quick search on Google will show that I was not the only one.
Like many others, I went over to Official Ares and downloaded one of the newer versions of Ares. Freshening your client like this is worth doing every year or so anyway, so this wasn’t too much of a hassle in the grand scheme of things.
For a while the client I chose – Ares Vista – worked like a dream. As always, I was asking myself why I haven’t done this sooner! After a while though, the connectivity problems returned.
Another Google search revealed again that I was not the only one feeling left out of the party.
It was on this Google search that I started to see the occasional mention of an application called AresConnect. I had never heard of AresConnect before so my initial instincts were to just ignore it. As I read more, so the name cropped up more frequently. I started to take note, I decided to check it out. According to the website, AresConnect was designed to solve exactly the problems with connectivity. Willing to give anything a shot by this point, I downloaded and installed.
Wow. AresConnect work straight away, and fixed precisely the Problems I was having. It’s early days yet, but after a week or so of uninterrupted, instant connectivity, I’m started to think that my problems have finally gone away.
