Tip of the Day
Remove Hardware Safely
If you work a lot with different USB devices, you probably use the "safely remove hardware" icon quite a bit. Am I right? You know, you're supposed to safely remove a USB device by clicking on the icon in your taskbar and stopping the whole process instead of just unplugging it without any warning. So, what if you lost that icon? Then what are you supposed to do?
Well, if you've recently lost your safely remove hardware icon, there is one thing you can do to try and find it again. It may just be hidden and you can change that with a couple quick clicks. Go to your taskbar and right click on any open area. Choose Properties and make sure you're under the Taskbar tab. Look toward the bottom under the Notification Area and uncheck the choice that says "Hide inactive icons." Click OK when you're done.
This will bring back several icons that you maybe haven't seen in awhile. You can choose to have the safety icon shown all the time or you can hide it again if you want, now that you know where to find it when you need it. Also, keep in mind that this icon doesn't always show up for every USB device you plug in to your computer. If you are using items that are known as "permanently connected" devices (printer, Webcam, etc.), the icon may not show up when you plug them in.
The icon tends to only show up when there's a chance of the data flow between the device and your computer being interrupted during your use (such as a flash drive). So, you can either keep it hidden, unhidden or just look for it when you're using other types of devices.

Today's Highlight in History
The Battle of Britain Begins
The Germans called it "the Day of the Eagle," the first day of the Luftwaffe's campaign to destroy the RAF, the British Royal Air Force, and knock out British radar stations, in preparation for Operation Sea Lion, the amphibious invasion of Britain. Almost 1,500 German aircraft took off the first day of the air raid, and 45 were shot down. Britain lost 13 fighters in the air and another 47 on the ground. But most important for the future, the Luftwaffe managed to take out only one radar station, on the Isle of Wight, and damage five others. This was considered more trouble than it was worth by Herman Goering, commander of the Luftwaffe, who decided to forgo further targeting of British radar stations because "not one of those attacked so far has been put out of operation."
Historians agree that this was a monumental mistake on the part of the Germans. Had Goering and the Luftwaffe persisted in attacking British radar, the RAF would not have been able to get the information necessary to successfully intercept incoming German bombers. "Here, early in the battle, we get a glimpse of fuddled thinking at the highest level in the German camp," comments historian Peter Fleming. Even the Blitz, the intensive and successive bombing of London that would begin in the last days of the Battle of Britain, could not compensate for such thinking. There would be no Operation Sea Lion. There would be no invasion of Britain. The RAF would not be defeated.
Trivia
Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, a substance that helps protect against many cancers, including prostrate, breast, lung, stomach, bladder, colon, cervix, and pancreas. Your body absorbs lycopene more readily from processed tomatoes than from fresh.
Quote of the Day
"Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away."
- Earl Nightingale, Speaker and Businessman
Feedback
You got feedback? Send it to:
bob@adv-marketing.com with
"feedback" in the subject.Here is a tip I find very useful:
I find it so irritating when I receive a reply e-mail and the sender refers to something from my original e-mail to them, but my e-mail is not included in their reply.
In business especially, e-mails should always include the entire string of messages, so both parties know exactly what is being referred to without having to search past e-mails.
To assure that your reply e-mail includes any previous e-mails, go to Tools on your e-mail program ( I run Outlook Express). Select Options. In the Options window select the Send tab. A window will open with several different selections. Check the "Include message in reply" box.
Now everyone will be on the same page and know exactly what everyone is writing about.
Thanks, Bob, for the great tips and clean humor. I repeat many of the jokes in mixed-age and sex-company and get many smiles and laughs. Foul-mouthed stand-up comics don't have anything over a good clean joke. My favorite comedian: Red Skeleton.
Sincerely,
Leon Ogroske

“Confessions Of A Zine-O-Holic”
by Jo McNamaraMy 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 WeekMental Test
=-=-=-=-=-=A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a gathering of humor editors, and his host naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease.
"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," he asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"
"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If there is hesitation, that puts you on the track."
"What sort of question?" "Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'"
The editor thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history."

Librarian to college football player: "May I help you?"
"I have to read a play by Shakespeare."
"Which one?"
"William."

My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise downstairs.
She nudged me and whispered, "Wake up, wake up!"
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"There are burglars in the kitchen. I think they're eating the tuna casserole I made tonight."
"That'll teach them!" I replied.

The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States had the same mother and the same father, but were not brothers.
How was this possible?
