Creatures of Habit

If you're like me, the first thing you do when you first sign on the computer, is check your email.  If you use an offline mail reader such as "Eudora" or "Outlook", why not start that program automatically when you start the computer, and set it to automatically get your mail.  You of course can do this with any program you wish.

To start a program each time Windows starts

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Taskbar & Start    Menu. 2. Click the Start Menu Programs tab. 3. Click Add, and then click Browse. 4. Locate the program you want to start, and then click it. 5. Click Next, and then double-click the StartUp folder. 6. Type the name that you want to see on the StartUp menu, and    then click Finish. 7. If Windows prompts you to choose an icon, click one, and then    click Finish.

And, if you don't use an offline mail reader, why not start your Web Browser at sign on - that way you are a click or so away.

Tsunami ravages Japanese coast

On this day in 1896 as daylight breaks, survivors of a tsunami in Japan find that more than 20,000 of their friends and family have perished overnight. The tsunami resulted from a disturbance in the Japan Trench, 120 miles east of Japan’s main island of Honshu. This deep underwater gorge is located where the Pacific tectonic plate is pushing under the Asian plate. A large earthquake at the fault caused a massive displacement of water.

In Kamaishi and along the Sanriku coast of Honshu, people were celebrating a yearly festival. Many felt the far-off quake, later estimated at a magnitude of 7.6, but most safely ignored the gentle rolling of the ground. However, about 20 minutes later, the harbor waters receded suddenly and, 15 minutes after that, an enormous tsunami crashed into the town’s coastline.

Waves may have reached as high as 115 feet in some places. Entire villages all along the coast were washed away during the evening. Fishermen who were working at sea and people living several miles inland, though, had no clue about the destruction until the following morning, when they arrived at the shore to find miles of the coast lined with wreckage and corpses. The final death toll was estimated at between 22,000 and 27,000 people.

This section of the Japanese coast seems vulnerable to such disasters. On March 3, 1933, 75-foot waves resulting from an 8.9-magnitude quake killed 3,000 people. Accounts also tell of destructive waves in 869 and 1611.

Approximately one third of all major earthquakes produce damaging tsunamis.
 
 

Internet Marketing Persistence by Sarah Paine

How easy is to become frustrated and just throw in the towel? After all, if you are not getting what you want then what is the point in pressing on? The fact is that most people that attempt to start a business will never see their first pay check. They will never make it past the quitting point. Success is always waiting around the corner or those that can make it around the block. The article that you are reading today is the third draft, the first was accidentally erased and the second was deleted when the computer decided it needed to restart. What does this tell you?

Internet business today can be just as trying as starting a regular business without the need for excessive capital. Anyone with any sort of formal business education will tell you to expect to be in the red for at least the first year or two. Businesses need to be established and marketed properly before any profit can roll in. Can you hang in there for a year and put forth some serious effort to make this a reality? There is no doubt that just about anyone can, yes this includes you. The trick is to get rid of some of your personal road blocks you never even thought of.

What kind of nasty traits? Have you ever driven up to a drive thru restaurant and noticed there was a long line and decided there was no way you were going to wait? It is a difficult urge to fight because we want it right now! What if you pulled up waited a moment and noticed three other cars thought the same thing you did however, they actually drove off? What does this do for you? Well you have been given the opportunity to move to the head of the line in about a quarter of the time you suspected it may take.

All else aside, instant gratification can cause instant failure for many. Marketers have been drilling this into your head since birth. Products have been designed to be distributed and used on a moments notice so this lack of patience is not entirely your fault. Your key to success is going to be to leave this mind set at the door because as soon as you fall back into it you are set to fail. As bad as our lack of patience is the influences around you can be even worse. What will you say when your significant other asks when you are going to stop playing on the web? Be ready to tune out the negativity that may arise.

The best thing you can do is to take all of the can not's and turn them into cans. Each time you experience a set back, each time a goal is missed turn it around and use it as the fuel you need to move forward. If things are not going the way you plan then do more....write more, create more, and produce more.

Stare your fear in the eye any time you encounter it and think about what you would do if you did not have the fear. It will be the same mindset you will need to have when you feel like you do not have the patience to write an article or make a post. Keep plugging away and enjoy the freedom your new business will provide you when you start to make a profit.

   A Little Humor to Start the Week 

Murphy's Laws for Moving

1.No matter how many boxes you have, you will always need one more.

2. The more your friends promise to help, the more likely it is they will have something come up the day you move.

3. Whatever you need is at the bottom of the box  you taped shut ten minutes ago.

4. Now that you are moving and no longer need it, you will find the item you spent two years looking for.

5. The tape, the scissors, the markers, and the screwdriver are all familiar with the rules to Hide-And-Seek.

6. You will never break something cheap that you never liked anyway ... only family heirlooms get broken during a move.

7. No matter how large the new place is, it will not have enough room once you begin to move in.

8. If you stay up all night packing for the movers, they will be late.

A couple of young boys were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

After about a half mile the boy stopped and stooped over with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath and the Game Warden finally caught up to him. "Lets see your fishing license!" the Warden gasped.

With that, the young man pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license.

"Well, son," said the Game Warden, "you must be about as dumb as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!"

Yes, sir," replied the young man, "but my friend back there, well, he don't have one..."

A friend and I were driving in the country looking for an address. We found the town, but we couldn't locate the road.

We drove to the police station. They'd never heard of the road. Neither had the Fire Department. We went to City Hall, where a community get- together was going on. We consulted a map, with no luck, until finally we happened to ask one young man who knew exactly where the street was. He pointed to the map, showing us exactly how to get there.

I said, "Thank you. Are you with the Police? Or the Fire Department?"

"Neither. I deliver pizzas."
