Hey There,
Welcome back to all the regular subscribers. And to all the
new ones: I'm glad you decided to join us.
Did everyone have a good weekend? I hope so.
Mine was pretty much full. We went to the local rodeo, had a blast.
No one got hurt, that was plus. If you are a PBR fan, I'd like to
let you know Tuff was there. Signing autographs and such. It was
fun. Like to of burned up Friday night, it being an open arena.
Saturday, was not so bad. Wish you could have been there. The
clown (which was new to the group) was hilarious. He brought a
trampoline.
I would like ask for some comments. My new web page is coming
along; however, I would like to get a few opinions on it's
layout. If you are interested in viewing and critiquing, email

GUEST ARTICLE: HOW TO SURVIVE MARKETING QUICKSAND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
| HOW TO SURVIVE MARKETING QUICKSAND by Theresa Cahill Copyright 2003 All Rights Reserved Have you had this experience? You join a program and everything starts out so well. You're convinced you've found what you've been looking for online. The upline, all the way to the owner, seems to know what's up and what the next step will be. You're happy. Then... everything changes. In my five plus years of online marketing, I've seen this happen over and over and over. From affiliate programs to advertising co-ops, it seems that some individuals lean toward a latent tendency of self-destruction. HERE'S THE SCENARIO: You sign up and start putting all of your energy into building your share of any particular program. You are working HARD at it, and the owner of the company is so supportive and encouraging and helpful. Then, you begin to notice a few odd things. Emails, or maybe even phone calls, where that person just doesn't sound quite right. You can't put your finger on it, but your internal alarm is definitely trying to tell you something. You move onward. The emails get stranger and stranger. This once reasonable person begins to sound alarmingly like he or she is slipping a gasket. You begin to worry, not just for yourself, but because you may have also convinced your close friends and associates that this was the right program, too. A bit more time goes by, you've been praying for a miracle, but... Now the alarms are ringing loud enough to wake those in neighoring countries. The emails and postings and/or phone calls definitely sound like this person has jumped off the deep end. Meglomania has struck and you're being sucked down in the quicksand! I don't know why this happens. I do know, from various program participation, that it does. The old saying, "Power corrupts" has struck again. I've witnessed normal people like you and me change virtually overnight. A tiny bit of success with their program and WHAM! They become a "legend in their own mind!" BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD SPOT: You know it's not you, but you also know you've been backing the wrong horse. Now you're in a moral dilemna not of your own making. You need out, and out fast, and you need to inform others of your decision, but how? My advice? First, don't be embarassed or afraid! It happens. It happens a lot more often then you may be aware of... But, no matter what, never resort to name calling. Never threaten. Never mislead. Never lie! Just calmly and clearly contact those you must, if you must, and state your decision to leave that program. This is the best way. Always keep your own personal integrity intact. Remember we all make mistakes. It's much better to 'fess up and begin damage control then to let others, who may or may not be aware of the situation, continue their own downward spiral. STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE I believe there is a reason for everything. I also know that that reason is not always clear to us in the moment. But... The universe watches. How you handle this type of situation now, handled well or handled poorly, will come back to you... tenfold :) ========================================= ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Theresa Cahill owner of http://www.mywizardads.com and http://www.quickneasyads.com cordinally invites your opinion and feedback to this article. mailto:comments@mywizardads.com?subject=Article54 |

Worm Warning! A new, nasty virus/worm warning: The worm spreads by slipping into a computer connected to the Internet or to a machine on its network. Unlike many other kinds of malicious codes, the Blaster worm requires no human intervention for infection, like downloading an e-mail message or clicking on an e-mail attachment. W32/Lovsan.worm is a Medium-On-Watch Internet Worm. This worm spreads by exploiting a recent vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The worm scans random ranges of IP addresses on TCP port 135. Discovered systems are targeted. Exploit code is sent to those systems, instructing them to download and execute the file MSBLAST.EXE from a remote system via TFTP. Once run, the worm creates the registry key (may be either of the following): * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run "windows auto update" = msblast.exe * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run "windows auto update" = msblast.exe I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!! bill Indications of Infection - Presence of unusual TFTP files - Presence of the file msblast.exe in the WINDOWS SYSTEM32 directory - Error messages about the RPC service failing (causes system to reboot) For more information visit either of these places: http://us.mcafee.com/root/campaign.asp?cid=8340 http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MSBLAST.A |

Computer Cooking Software for Freezer Cooking by Cynthia Townley Ewer Editor, http://www.OrganizedHome.Com Computers and cookbooks are a tasty combination! Today's cooking software makes meal planning--even planning once for a month's worth of dinner entrees--nearly effortless. Improved import-export capabilities permit capture of recipes from on-line services or text files; software menu plan and shopping list functions spell an end to tedious hours of sifting, sorting and listing. Recipe junkies are in food heaven as the Internet shares thousands of recipes available for the downloading. Cooking software can create a freezer cooking menu plan in a matter of minutes, complete with shopping list! To make full use of the power of your computer to speed the planning/shopping process, keep in mind these "computer cookbook conventions". Be Consistent. Remember, your computer is a high speed idiot; it won't know that a bay leaf and a bayleaf are the same article. When entering recipes into your Freezer cookbook, pick your terms and stick your guns! Is it "hamburger", "ground beef" or "ground chuck"? Use Standard Measurements. To ease assembly of your shopping list and your cooking day game plan, standardize measurements and values across your cookbook. Measure meat in pounds; list common convenience foods (canned tomatoes) by can sizes; note baked goods by the "each" (6 hamburger buns) not the "package" (1 package hamburger buns) whenever possible. Your cooking program may assist you; for example, Mastercook for Windows features pre-assigned measurements and values available for a click of the mouse. Pay Attention To Amount Conventions. Be aware of common measurement/amount conventions when writing your cookbook. For example, for shopping ease, recipes in this cookbook list "onions" by the "each"--and each "each" is considered 1/2 cup of chopped onions. Watch Format Consistency. Finally, strive for a consistent format, especially when writing recipe directions. Separate paragraphs by a carriage return or blank line; your courtesy will be appreciated when other users try to import your work into their software programs. |

Don't Let Search Engine Loyalty Stop You by: Jonathan Broadus Most Internet users have their favorite search engine to which they're faithfully devoted. This isn't a bad thing in itself, but it can become one when search engine loyalty prevents you from an easy find. Search engines are a tool, and each is usually designed for either a generic or specific purpose. When you're searching for general information, it's a good idea to go to your favorite site, the one you know all the little tricks to get the answers you want. But if you're searching for information in a specific field, don't discount the value of going to a very specific search engine for the task. When I'm programming, for instance, I'm likely to go to Codehound (http://www.codehound.com) to search for just the right line of code to perform the task I want to do. Codehound's one and only purpose is to index sites related to programming, so it cuts out a lot of the miscellaneous "How did that get there?" results. For medical information, I typically start searching on WebMD (http://www.webmd.com). It's not that the sites you want aren't on the generic search engines, necessarily. It's that the limitation of the results to a specific category often means you can find it faster with fewer irrelevant results to sort through. Don't know of a specific search engine for your topic? There's a few places to look. First, ask other people who need similar info where they search. Second, try going to your favorite engine and putting in a phrase such as " search engine". If you wanted psychology info, you would try "psychology search engine" as the phrase, for instance. It might turn up a search engine specifically for that subject. Finding the best search engine for a specific job can make a lot of difference in your web search success. ************** Jonathan Broadus is a computer programmer/technician and freelance writer from North Carolina. |

Rx for Ailing Plants Herbs, Spices, Alternative Organics Out of the pantry and into the garden: Vinegar is also an effective weed killer. By Lindsay Bond Totten Scripps Howard News Service http://www.shns.com The recipe box in my kitchen cupboard is divided into categories: appetizers, breads and rolls, main dishes, salads and vegetables, desserts. The one in my basement is, too, but the categories wouldn't be much help in preparing dinner: "Slugs and Snails," "Powdery Mildew," "Black Spot" and "Weeds" read some of the title cards. Let's see. If black spot on roses is the fungus du jour, the recipe card reads: Completely clean the area around rose bushes of infected leaves. Then, to one gallon of water add: 3 tbsp. baking soda 1 tsp. horticultural oil 1 tsp. liquid dishwashing soap Shake vigorously to mix and liberally spray rose foliage, covering both upper and lower surfaces. Repeat weekly during the season, or as needed. Home gardeners today are almost more apt to reach for an organic solution to their pest problem as they are for a chemical spray. Our recipe boxes are stuffed with alternative pesticide strategies, and these include everything from basic kitchen ingredients like baking soda and spices to specialty products like beneficial bacteria. "Take two tablespoons of vinegar and call me next week" may well be your plant doctor's advice, especially if he or she is up to date on the latest alternative remedies. Vinegar has been found to be extremely effective in killing some types of weeds. Scientists credit the acetic acid in vinegar with herbicidal properties. Vinegars made from fermented grapes, apples or grains are all effective. Vinegar purchased at the supermarket contains approximately 5 percent acetic acid. In field tests, that concentration was strong enough to kill the tops of Canada thistle, though their roots did grow back. Reports on other species were available, but it wouldn't hurt to try vinegar on different types of weeds in your garden at home. The pH of the soil may drop temporarily due to the effect of the acid, but it should rebound quickly — within 48 hours. And both vinegar and acetic acid biodegrade completely and safely. Scientists are experimenting with stronger concentrations — up to 30 percent acetic acid — and point out that vinegar products are already registered in Sweden for treating weeds in pavement cracks. The kitchen spice rack is a potential treasure trove of alternative pesticides. It's long been recognized, for instance, that cinnamon has fungicidal properties. An orchid grower in Iowa lightly sprinkles powered cinnamon on the foliage of diseased plants to treat spots where standing water has rotted the leaves. One new bio-herbicide on the market contains clove extracts; another is derived from lemon juice and vinegar acids. It shouldn't come as a surprise that herbs and spices may have useful properties — beyond the obvious, of course. Their tissues contain potent essential oils, many of which botanists haven't even identified yet. Home gardeners have far outdistanced producers of agricultural crops in their acceptance and implementation of alternative pesticide strategies. In 1973, you were part of the "fringe element" if you practiced IPM (Integrated Pest Management) or gardened organically. In 2003, you're part of the "fringe element" if you don't. Even back in 1977, the USDA recognized the need to move farmers in the direction of IPM. It adopted a policy that year to develop and encourage the use of IPM in agriculture. In 1993, it renewed that commitment and set a goal of implementing IPM practices on 75 percent of total crop acreage by 2000 in order to reduce the use of pesticides. By 1998, in spite of the fact that many farmers were trying IPM, pesticide use had actually increased slightly, as measured in pounds of active ingredients. Researchers noted, however, that use of some of the most toxic pesticides was down, a fact they attributed in part to them being taken off the market. The search for alternative pesticides continues, in kitchen cupboards and in nature. "E-RASE" is a brand new organic pesticide with multiple properties. The jojoba oil in "E-RASE" acts as an insecticide when directed at whiteflies and as a fungicide when applied to ornamentals and grapes with powdery mildew. Soybean oil works as well as horticultural oil (a highly refined petroleum product) in controlling spider mites on some plants. And plant leaves aren't as sensitive to soybean oil, reducing the damage to stressed foliage in hot dry weather. But here's my favorite: Researchers in Hawaii (where slugs and snails are a real problem) report that caffeine can kill almost 100 percent of those pests when it's sprayed on them. Until caffeinated pesticides start showing up on garden center shelves, try crushing anti-drowsiness tables and dissolving the powder in water. Don't ask for the recipe — just prepare according to your own taste! (Lindsay Bond Totten, a horticulturist, writes about gardening for Scripps Howard News Service.) |

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough
people to click on their link daily to meet their quota
to getting free food donated every day to abused and
neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their
site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't
cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number
of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in
exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

The Tragedy of Animal Collectors Cruelty can hit far too close to home. A couple of weeks ago, neighbors of an elderly lady, concerned for her health, called authorities to check in on her. They discovered her in ailing health - along with approximately 50 diseased cats. The home was covered in feces, urine, and garbage, and the authorities stated that the stench was overwhelming. The local SPCA humanely put down all but two of the cats, to prevent them from spreading disease to the other animals at the shelter. The two remaining cats were put into isolation where they were being evaluated. Unfortunately, this type of neglect and cruelty is not that uncommon. Within the last year or so: Two elderly sisters were found with nearly 200 dead and diseased cats and one dead dog. Another lady willing surrendered several cats, acknowledging that she simply did not have the resources to properly care for them. She took the initiative to try to "do the right thing". This type of voluntary surrender is rare. An elderly lady was found with over 20 Pomeranians in her "care". They were all ill, and were taken to the local humane society. Some were too sick and died, even with vet care; others were eventually adopted into new homes. The cases mentioned above are just a small fraction of what happens far too often. The "keeper" of the animals, called "animal collectors", are often portrayed by the media as being loving "pet parents" who think of their pets as a part of their families. Concerned citizens become outraged at the perceived heavy-handedness of the authorities; after all, how can they heartlessly separate the pet parent from their beloved family? Now, I'm no psychologist and certainly no expert on the human mind. But I have to say that I just cannot fathom how someone who is supposed to love animals can cause them such suffering. You see, I volunteer at the humane society that took in those Pomeranians. I saw the dogs with my very own eyes. I saw their fear. I saw their illness. I heard their cries. And it made me sick. What's even worse is that it probably wasn't even as bad as what shelter staff have been exposed to in the past (or will be exposed to in the future). What amazed me was how many people rallied around the lady who owned the dogs. They converged upon her home, cleaned it up, provided her with new furniture ... all in an effort to show the authorities that her place was now "fit for living". What was the point? They felt that she deserved better: they felt that she should have some of the dogs, her "family", returned to her! I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to help her or others like her. If it can be done, it should be done. But we shouldn't aggravate the situation by allowing a known animal collector to have pets again. These pets, no matter how much the collector claims to love them, are in very real danger. Animal collectors are known to have high relapse rates: that means that even if they've had their pets taken away once, they may go ahead and start collecting large numbers of animals again - animals that they are not equipped to care for. I don't know what the answer is. But until someone finds a way to prevent animal collection, all we can do is try to help in whatever small way we can. It CAN happen in your neighborhood; it happened in mine. If you have reason to believe that you know of an animal collector, I encourage you to discuss the situation with your local humane society. Some indicators may include: A strong urine or feces smell, detectable from outside the home; An unusually large number of animals are always around, skulking around the house or scurrying about within the home; New animals seem to be appearing around the home regularly, or too often. Large piles of garbage, newspapers, or other material - animal collectors sometimes collect things other than just animals. By placing that one phone call, you may be saving the lives of the animals contained within the home and preventing them from needless suffering. Every pet deserves a happy home; let's all do our parts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ©Copyright 2000, PawsperousPets.com.

HERB TIPS

Bath Teas Amy Jeanroy Herb.LifeTips.com Taking a bath is relaxing and if you bathe in herbal infused water, you gain the healing effects from the blend of herbs which can relieve tension and pain from over exertion, illness or stress. There are many places to purchase ready made bags of bath teas but there is no reason that you cannot make one for yourself very easily. Start with a tea bag. This can be anything from a clean sock to a piece of muslin sewn up on three sides and then tied when full of herbs. Some people do make an herbal tea bath without the bag but then end up with pieces of herbs stuck to the skin and that is not pleasant. Using your mixture of herbs (a list of ideas follows) measure out ¼ to 1/3 of a cup of the mixture and tie it into the bag of your choosing. You can then simply let the tea bag float in the water or hang it on the faucet with the water flowing over while the tub fills. A gift idea would be a simple herbal mixture of herbs placed in a jelly jar, a small muslin bag and scoop for measuring out the portions. Herbs for Bath Teas: Chamomile, Peppermint, Lavender, Rosemary, Oats, Catnip, Yarrow, Sage, Bay, Dill, Celery, Nutmeg, Anise, Lemongrass, Fennel, Basil, Bergamot, Patchouli, Clove, Orange, Rose, Sandalwood, Anise, Nutmeg, Ginger, Rosemary, Fennel, Cumin, Clove, Rose, Thyme, Spearmint, Pine Try an energizing Rosemary bath or Thyme for headaches or cramping. Soothe itchy skin with Basil, Catnip to calm and promote a restful sleep. Chamomile can be used for an upset stomach . Lavender is gentle enough to use in a baby bath and helps ease colic. Herbal baths are for everyone in the family and can be the simplest answer to a long hard day. Herb.LifeTips.com |

10 Essential Health Tips (The Basics to Practice Every Day) http://www.health-fitness-tips.com/ "He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." -Arabian Proverb 1. Move More Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it! 2. Cut Fat Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one! 3. Quit Smoking The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one. 4. Reduce Stress Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them. 5. Protect Yourself from Pollution If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily. 6. Wear Your Seat Belt Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up. 7. Floss Your Teeth Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss. 8. Avoid Excessive Drinking While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time. 9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing. 10. Choose Your Parents Well The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny. |
