How to stop SPAM Text Enhance on your browser (Chrome)

I recently went to a wholesale chinese site that sounded to go to be true, and after googling foudn it was to god to be true. Afterwards however random text on websites would pop up an add that seemed to be run by Text Enhance. After blowing through forums, and their help I figured that it was an extension that was not correctly named.

So I went to my browser's Extension Manger in my case Tools->Extensions.

Disabled all the extensions,
went back to the page with the "enhancements"
Pressed refresh and saw that the enhancements where disabled
I then went through each extension and enabled them one by one to find the misbehaving on.

Now fixed. So the malware / virus or whatever had obviously affected the extension, or was an extension automatically installed.

I looked up the street and then realized that the crowd was very large, my insecurity that no one cared enough to make an effort seemed like a joke. After some politically charged messages we started a slow march towards Parliament via Buitenkant. It was a slow march with some politically charged chanting – but was peaceful. When we got close to parliament as we could I realized there were a lot of people there. Pers...

Balance

Category: Ponderous When ever you talk to "life coaches" they talk about balance. What is balance, well it is there way of saying spend more time on personal things. That is not balance that is spending more time on personal things. Balance is what people tell you to get, when you are spending too much time trying to ensure that each day when the bills come you do not have a panic attack. So let's say you decide to take some personal time – get more balance in your life.
