Tip of the Day
This is a repeat of a previous tip, but I felt
it was so
important, I should present it again. In the
event you ever
need it, you should definitely print this and
keep it in a
safe place.
If you find that somehow your registry got fouled
up, and Windows
won't start, don't panic. There is a utility
called ScanReg,
which backs up your registry automatically on
startup. You can
restore one of the five previous backups.
To use this, shut down your computer and then
restart it, holding
down the "Ctrl" key during the memory test. Hold
it until the
Startup menu appears. Select Safe Mode Command
Prompt Only.
At the DOS prompt, type the following (depress
the "Enter Key"
after each line)
cd c:\windows\command
scanreg /restore
Select a recent entry from the five that are listed.
Press "R"
for restore. If the selected registry is intact,
press "R" to
restart. If this still doesn't work, try again,
using
another backup registry.
If you don't print this out and Windows won't
start - panic.

Today's Highlight in History
On this date in 1936, after a week of tracking
down every
conceivable lead, police finally found the evidence
they needed
in order to break the case of Nancy Titterton's
rape-murder in
New York City. Titterton, a novelist and the
wife of NBC
executive Lewis Titterton, was raped and strangled
in her upscale
home on Beekman Place on the morning of April
10, 1936. The only
clues left behind were a foot-long piece of cord
that had been
used to tie Titterton's hands and a single horsehair
found on her
bedspread.
These small traces of evidence proved to be enough
to find the
killer. The detective in charge of the investigation
had ordered
his team to trace the source of the cord. After
a full week of
combing every rope and twine manufacturer in
the Northeast, the
cord was finally found to have come from Hanover
Cordage Company
in York, Pennsylvania. Company records showed
that some of the
distinctive cord had been sold to Theodore Kruger's
upholstery
shop in New York City.
Since the investigation of the horsehair had already
led police
to suspect John Fiorenza, an assistant at Kruger's
shop, this new
evidence only solidified their suspicion. Fiorenza
and Kruger
were the first to discover Titterton's body,
when they arrived to
return a repaired couch (which had been stuffed
with horsehair
that matched the one found at the crime scene)
on the afternoon
of April 10. However, they both denied entering
the bedroom that
day.
When investigators learned that Fiorenza had been
at the
Titterton house on April 9 and had been late
for work the morning
of the murder, they looked deeper into his background.
Fiorenza
had four prior arrests for theft and had been
diagnosed as
delusional by a prison psychiatrist. Detectives
first gained
Fiorenza's trust by pretending to need his help
in solving the
crime and then sprang the cord evidence on him.

Food for Thought by Dr. Kevin Nunley
Nothing sells like simple, easy-to-read advertising
copy. Penning
clever, articulate prose may be tempting, but
busy prospects and
customers will respond faster to short words
and simple
sentences. Try not to use a four-dollar word
when a more common
one will do. Keep sentences short. Limit the
number of sentences
that have commas in them (a sign that your sentence
is getting
complex). Break complex sentences into shorter
ones.

Technology
A proposed new service called ENUM (http://www.enum.org/)
would
associate e-mail addresses and telephone numbers
for registered
users, but even supporters of the service cannot
agree on how to
implement it.
Users who register with an ENUM provider would
be able to give
out a single identifier--their phone number with
an Internet
extension--which could be used to phone or e-mail
the person. The
ENUM provider would direct phone calls and e-mails
to their
appropriate destinations.
Although officials from many countries support
such a service,
there is disagreement about the extension that
would be added to
phone numbers and whether there should be a single
registry or
competitive firms offering ENUM services.

Printer Repair

When a guy's printer type began to grow faint,
he called local
repair shop where a friendly man informed him
that the printer
probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the
store charged $50
for such cleanings, he told him he might be better
off reading
the printer's manual and trying the job himself.
Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked,
"Does your boss
know that you discourage business?"
"Actually, it's my boss's idea," the employee
replied sheepishly.
"We usually make more money on repairs if we
let people try to
fix things themselves first."

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman
D-I-Y?
Dear Gary,
We've got water on the basement floor which came
from the gas
water heater. We two ladies don't know
what to do and whether we
must have a plumber, which we can ill afford.
We're willing to
make adjustments or simple repairs and would
surely appreciate
some guidance.
Thanks so much for whatever you can suggest.
Dee
Most homeowners have found themselves in Dee's
position. As an
avid do-it-yourselfer I can relate to Dee's dilemma.
The trick is
to get enough information to make a good decision
before you
spend a lot of time and money.
Dee will want to begin by trying to find out what's
causing the
problem. In this case, what's the source of the
leak.
She could start by looking at the water heater
and the floor.
Where specifically does she see water? On the
tank? Near the
valve or drain? Is it all over the floor? Or
limited to one area?
After Dee has checked the 'crime scene' it's time
to do some
research. In most cases she'll need to learn
more about the
appliance that's broken.
Begin with friends and neighbors who have some
do-it-yourself
experience. Generally they're willing to share
because others
have helped them in similar circumstances.
Dee can also explore the library. Most will have
some guides to
home repair projects. Don't be put off by older
sources. Many old
troubleshooting techniques are still valid.
Check the periodicals guide, too. Magazines like
Popular
Mechanics have regular home repair columns. Many
will take you
step-by-step from diagnosis through repair.
If you have web access you might not even need
to go to the
library. For instance you'll find many resources
online. Two of
my favorites are http://www.PopularMechanics.com
and
http://www.RepairClinic.org. Both include a good
library of home
repair topics.
In Dee's case it's probably one of three things.
The drain or
temperature and pressure (T&P) valve could
be leaking. It could
be condensation on the outside of the tank. Or
the tank itself
has rusted through and is leaking.
How did I know that? The search feature on PopularMechanics.com
led me to an article on water heaters. All I
had to do was enter
"water heater leaks".
Armed with the additional information Dee will
be able to look at
the symptoms with new understanding. She'll probably
have enough
information to guess what's causing the leak.
Next, she'll need to determine what it takes to
stop the leak.
More research may be required. She wants to know
how the specific
repair is made.
Once she has an idea of how to fix it, she'll
need to decide if
she's up it. How tough is the job? Has she done
anything similar?
Does she have the necessary tools? If not, can
she borrow or must
she buy them? If she runs into trouble is there
a knowledgeable
friend that could help bail her out?
Don't forget to check how accessible the repair
is. Many a do-it-
yourselfer has taken apart three things to get
to the one that
really needs replacing!
If Dee wants to attempt the repair she should
make sure that she
understands any physical dangers involved. Electrocution
or
scalding shouldn't be part of home repair! She'll
also need to
decide what would cause her to give up mid-project
and call in a
professional.
Before beginning find sources for any needed parts.
She doesn't
want to find out too late that she can't get
a replacement part.
Often the same place that you'd call for a service
person also
sells parts.
Dee will want to accumulate a few basic tools.
She'll find that
many simple home repairs only require common
tools. If she faces
a job that does require specialty tools, she
might want to
rethink tackling it herself. Special purpose
tools are often
expensive. They're also a warning sign of potential
difficulty.
Even if she goes to a professional at this point,
she still is
much more knowledgeable about the repair and
less likely to be
ripped off.
Before she agrees to a service call, there's one
more question to
answer. Is the appliance worth repairing? RepairClinic.com
suggests that if a repair is likely to cost more
than 50% of an
appliance that's more than 6 or 7 years old,
it might be better
to simply replace it. Obviously, that's a generality.
But, it's
certainly something to consider before you have
a repair
technician come out and pay for a service call.
Can Dee repair her water heater? It probably depends
on where the
leak is coming from. But a little work before
calling a plumber
could help her make a dollar-wise decision.
