Insert Key
Tip of the Day
The insert key has to do with your typing and if you don't know how to work it, it could be very frustrating. Ever find yourself typing along and all the sudden, your letters keep getting eaten up by other letters. You may have had a sentence or two typed before you even noticed. Well, every once in awhile, we all suffer from “fatfingerietis” and you accidentally hit the insert key (it is located to the left of the number pad).
So, if you accidentally hit that key, your text will get overwritten and you'll just have to start all over. If that ever, just hit the insert key again and it will change back to normal and you can begin typing again.
You may want to keep an eye on your text when you're typing from now on, just to make sure you didn't happen to hit that key. It will save you some time, a little retyping, and a lot of agitation!
Today's Highlight in History
Mt. Palomar Telescope Shipped
On this day in 1936, the first telescope with a 200-inch- diameter, reflecting mirror was shipped -- very, very carefully, from Corning, New York to Mt. Palomar Observatory in California. The lens of the Hale telescope weighed 20 tons. It was dedicated at Mt. Palomar in 1948.
It is a far cry from the first telescope invented in 1608 by Hans Lippershey of the Netherlands. Hans made eye glasses and one day, while holding a lens in each hand, he looked through both lenses at one time. What he saw was an enlarged image at the end of the two lined-up lenses. Lippershey carried his accidental discovery one step further, mounting a lens at either end of a tube, creating the first telescope.
Many experiments had been made with lenses magnifying objects, with documentation as far back as the 1200s. But, Lippershey has been given the credit, if not the patent. Galileo heard of Lippershey’s invention and built his own telescope in 1609. Its magnification power was a mere 33X about the same as that of opera glasses.
The Hale telescope at Mt. Palomar remains one of the most widely used scientific telescopes on the planet -- as it looks at other planets and beyond. Galileo would be amazed!
Food for Thought
by Dr. Kevin NunleyHokey
Use "YOU." Hokey as it may seem, using "YOU" a lot pulls the reader into your copy. For example: You can earn big bucks when you use this strategy.
The goal of most good ad or sales copy is to make the reader, listener, or viewer feel like you are talking directly to them. People love to hear about themselves. "YOU" lets people know the information you are giving them is for their benefit.

Trivia
When choosing hardwood floors, the experts recommend factory-finished floors which are UV-cured. This curing creates a stronger, more durable finish than site finishes. Factory-finished floors are typically
less messy and faster to install.

Confessions Of A Zine-O-Holic
by Jo McNamara
My name is Jo and I’m a zine-o-holic. Ya know, I tell myself, “I can handle this problem. I’ll just read one ezine, maybe two and then I’ll stop.” That might last a day or two. But before you know it, I feel the urge come over me and I’m back to reading 15-25 ezines a day.Not the cheap stuff either. The solid-content, benefit-laden stuff. Yeah, we all have our reasons for being here. Some of you get your kicks with the free ads. Some of you are like me; you enjoy reading ezines and the information they provide. Some of us get this stuff in our inbox. Some of us go to websites to get our fix. It doesn’t matter. We have to face the fact that we’re hooked on zines.
We can’t blame it on the publishers. Sure, they offer this stuff for free. They come up to us and say, “Hey, I got some good zine. Great articles, free promotional tools. I can be your best friend. All ya gotta do is subscribe.” What they don’t tell you is before long you’re hooked. You get a taste of one good ezine and before you know it, you’re back out there; desperately trying to find another one to subscribe to.
I never thought I would end up like this. I was raised in a good family. Go to school, get a solid education and then go to work for someone else. And I did just that for a while.
I thought I had a happy life. Then it happened. To this day, I don’t know how. I got into Internet marketing and that’s when everything changed.
I started out innocently enough. Probably just like you. Fell for a few get-rich-quick scams. Wasted my time; wasted my money. But I got through that and thought I was gonna be okay…until I discover ezines. Then there was no turning back.
It’s the same story; I’m sure you can relate to it. I subscribed to a couple of ezines. I started reading articles by Terry Dean, Rick Beneteau, Terri Seymour, Michael Southon…there are others out there; but we know who I’m talking about. I learned what it took to be successful in Net marketing. Before you know it, I wanted more. I couldn’t get through the day without reading a few ezines.
I unsubscribed to the ezines that had nothing but ads. That gave me the feeling that I was in control. But, my friends, we know how false that feeling is. I was still hooked on the good ones.
To make matters worse, I started earning an income working at home. I’m just minding my own business. Reading ezines; learning from ezines; applying what I’m learning. Money starts coming in. You think you have your life planned and something like this happens. I don’t know what to tell you. I never saw it coming.
My friends say I’ve changed. I’m more self-confident; I’m happier; I’m more positive about life. They just don’t understand and I can’t tell them my secret.
I thought I could control the problem by shutting down my computer. I realize now that I was just in denial. Before long I was sneaking into the office. I’d tell myself, “Just one ezine. I’ll just read one.” An hour later, dinner hadn’t been cooked and the litter box hadn’t been cleaned. I was off and running. Lost in the world of ezines. With trembling fingers, I would turn off the computer. But I knew the truth; I wanted more.
I don’t know what the answer is. Just when you think you’re in control, you find another ezine to subscribe to. Even if you’re particular about what you read and don’t like the cheap stuff, there’s always one more good ezine out there calling your name.
Well, that’s my story. Thanks for letting me share. I won’t tell you I’ll ever be cured. The truth of the matter is I don’t want to be cured. I’ll just have to take it one ezine at a time.

Little Humor to Start the Week
Hamster Care
=-=-=-=-=-=-=After buying her kids a pet hamster, after they PROMISED they would take care of it, Mom, as usual, ended up with the responsibility.
One evening, exasperated, she asked them, "How many times do you think that hamster would have died if I hadn't looked after it?"
After a moment, her youngest son replied quizzically, "Once?"

The owner of a golf course in West Virginia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.
He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from the West Virginia University and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"
The secretary thought a moment ...... then replied,
"Everything but my earrings."-----
It's a summer holiday weekend and a man walks into a butcher shop which has a sign in the window saying "Ground Sirloin: 29 cents per pound" The man says, "I'm having a cookout this weekend. I'd like 5 pounds of yourground sirloin, please."
The butcher shakes his head and says, "Sorry. I'm all out."
The man, disappointed goes down the street to another butcher shop and asks, "How much is your ground sirloin?"
The proprietor replies, "It's $3.29 per pound."
"Three twenty nine!?!" exclaimed the customer. "Just up the street he sells it for 29 cents!"
The butcher smiles calmly at the gentleman and asks, "Does he have any?"
"No. He's out of it right now."
"Well," says the butcher. "When I don't have any, I can sell it for 19 cents per pound!"

When her late husband's will was read, a widow learned he had left the bulk of his fortune to another woman.
Enraged, she rushed to change the inscription on her spouse's tombstone.
"Sorry, lady," said the stonecutter. "I inscribed 'Rest in Peace' on your orders. I can't change it now."
"Very well," she said grimly. "Just add, 'Until We Meet Again.' "-----
