Tip of the Day

A Quicker Scroll

I know I've given you some scrolling tips in the past, but I have another great one for you today. I actually thought for sure that we've told you all about this one before, but I couldn't find it anywhere in our archives, so here it is. If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, listen up. This one is so cool, you're not going to be able to contain your excitement! : )

So, again, if you have a mouse that has a scroll wheel, try giving the wheel a push. Yep, just press your finger directly down on the wheel and see what happens. Once you do that, you should see a big double arrow appear. You can then just move your mouse up and down and it will do an "automatic scroll" for you. That's right, once you click the wheel, you no longer have to actually scroll. Just move your mouse around and it will all be taken care of.

Now, this feature doesn't work everywhere, but it covers most of the common areas. For example, it works on any Web page in any Web browser, it works in different e-mail programs, in an MS Word document and so on. I use it most when I'm browsing the Web. It's so convenient and easy to use. Then once you're done scrolling, just give the wheel another click and your mouse will go back to normal. I'm tellin' ya, it works wonders. Give it a try today!

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

Do you know the most powerful way to control your focus?

Ask powerful questions.

Powerful questions are NOT *Why did this happen to me?*
Or, *What did I do to deserve this?* (If it's negative.)
Or, *Why do people always take advantage of me?*

Powerful questions ARE *How can I turn this around?*
Or, *What can I do to help?*
Or, *How can I make this better?*

When you ask powerful questions, you set your brain on a Power Path. Go there often.
 

An article that will help is *Do You Ask Why?"  You can see it here: http://www.tameyourbrain.com/douaskwhy.htm

I also remember what fabulous bodies those troops had."

Food for Thought

Finding a Niche That REALLY Wants What You Sell.

One of the quickest ways to make a business successful is to focus on a small group of people who REALLY want a product or service. Because they aren't the biggest group of customers, the specialized product or service probably isn't going to be available at Walmart.

In fact, many of the customers in your group may not know where they can get what they want. When you show up, specializing in satisfying their demands and giving these customers exactly what they've had such a hard time finding, you get an enthusiastic group of long term buyers.

Let me give you an example. I recently spent a few days in Southwest Texas. It's deep in the heart of ranch country. Men and boys still wear cowboy hats just as they have for 150 years. It's not the largest group in the world, but these guys really WANT their cowboy hats.

Cory and Victoria noticed that it was hard to find a store that stocked many cowboy hats. Their solution was to open an entire store specializing in them. You can get any kind of hat, styled any way, for any sized head.

For many customers their store is regarded as an answer to a prayer. "This is the first time in 25 years that I've worn a hat that fits my head right," one customer told me.

Next, Cory and Victoria are putting their store on the Internet. What better way to reach a narrow group of customers, spread out over the world, who REALLY want their product.

Quote of the Day

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.
Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow.
But any action is better than no action at all."

 -- Norman Vincent Peale

Anger management?
-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Husband: "When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?"

Wife: "I clean the toilet."

Husband: "How does that help?"

Wife: "I use your toothbrush."

A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane. The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, then visibly shuddered for ten to fifteen seconds.

The man went back to his reading. A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, then shuddered violently once more.

Assuming that the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering. A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again. As before she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body shaking even more than before.

Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman and said,

'I couldn't help but notice that you've sneezed three times, wiped your nose and then shuddered violently. Are you ok?'

'I am sorry if I disturbed you, I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze I have an orgasm.'

The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious. 'I have never heard of that condition before' he said. 'Are you taking anything for it?'

The woman nodded, 'Pepper.'

A little girl asked her father, 'How did the human race appear?' The father answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made.'

Two days later the girl asked her mother the same question. The mother answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'

The confused girl returned to her father and said, 'Dad how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Mom said they developed from monkeys?'

The father answered, 'Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your mother told you about hers.'

Husband asks, "Do you know the meaning of WIFE? It means 'Without Information Fighting Everytime'!"

Wife replies, "No, it means 'With Idiot For Ever'!!!"

Apparently I tend to brag too much about my home state of Ohio. One day I told a long-suffering friend, "You know, the first man in powered flight was from Ohio. The first man to orbit the earth was from Ohio. And the first man on the moon was from Ohio."

"Sounds like a lot of people are trying to get out of Ohio," he observed.

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

Gas Crisis???

Just finished an interesting week. I drove across the state for a conference. The conference was about online financial news. Many of the discussions included comments about how higher gas prices were causing big problems for consumers. (BTW, I agree that higher gas prices are causing problems for consumers. But, as you'll see in a moment, I'm a bit confused as to how consumers are reacting to the problem).

The first thing I noticed was that people were traveling a little slower on the highway. I couldn't ask them, but I suspect that they were trying to save a little gas. According to http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/driveHabits.shtml gas mileage decreases dramatically when you go faster than 60 mph. Until recently here in Florida the interstate moved along at about 80 mph. This trip it seemed to be closer to 75 mph. I usually try to stay with traffic, so I managed to save myself a few dollars this trip.

But, the signals were mixed. It was Mother's Day. Mama didn't want to cook and didn't want to eat what I volunteered to cook. She wanted to do takeout from one of those national chain restaurants. At this one, you call ahead and just pull into a special section of the parking lot. A server comes out to your car. They'll go back and forth until your transaction is complete. At 6:15 on Mother's Day you'd assume that they'd be busy. And, they were. What struck me as odd, was that I was the only one who shut off the engine and rolled down the windows. Granted the temperature was in the upper 80's. But, if gas is too expensive, how can I justify sitting in a parking lot for 10 minutes with the engine running? (maybe not everyone is concerned with gas prices)

Next, I refilled my tank. While I'm pumping gas the fellow on the other side of the island comments "guess it'll be $4 the next time we fill up". I have no way of knowing whether that's true or not. Even the experts at the conference couldn't tell for sure. But, I am convinced that if we want to have low energy prices we'll need to address both the supply and the demand side of the issue. That means taking steps to conserve the energy we have. But, it also means using the resources we have to produce more energy. We may choose to buy an SUV to go to the mall. We can decide not to make our homes more energy efficient. We can vote not to drill for oil or build refineries. We can say no to windmills and nuclear plants near us. We can put all of hopes on tomorrow's technologies being clean and abundant. We have that right. But, let's not kid ourselves into thinking that those decisions don't have costs. They do.

Finally, a way that you can reduce your cost of gasoline. Just by buying and using a tire gauge monthly, you'll get about 10% better gas mileage (if you're the typical driver). An investment of less than $5 and ten minutes a month could save you many dollars. Along with driving slower, it's the easiest way to reduce your fuel bill.
 

 Keep on Stretching those dollars!
