Computer Crash
Delete History of Web Sites Visited
If you have started to see a "crash" increase in either your Windows operating system or any other programs you use, luckily, there are a few things you can do. Let's have a look see.

First, if the same problem is repeated regularly, you should take down some notes about your actions that led up to the crash. Try to remember your sequence of actions and write down everything you did up until the time the program stopped working. Make sure you take note of the contents of any error messages or other dialogue boxes that may have come up on your screen as well.

After you have everything written down, you're going to want to go to the program manufacturer's Web site. There you can look for a patch or an update that you might be missing that can solve the crashing problem. A lot of times, this is an easy answer. If the patch or update already exists, you can just take care of the problem right then and there. If it doesn't have a fix, you can try to find something by doing a search for the product's name, including some of the symptoms you are experiencing while you're using the program.

Another thing you can do is check your Windows event log. Windows often logs details about system and application crashes. To access the event log, right click on your My Computer icon and choose Manage. Once there, look in the left pane and find Event Viewer. Go ahead and click on the little plus sign (+) to expand it. That will bring up three different sections: Application, Security and System. Choose Application. Once you do that, you will see a list of different actions in the right pane. There are quite a few of them, so I will give you some time to look over them.

Okay, now, if you see any that have a red X next to them, it means your system found a serious problem with that particular application. When you double click on the red X, an Event Properties box will appear. That will give you some information on what happened to cause the application to error out, etc.

Even though you have that information, it may still be hard to decipher what's really going on. If that's the case, Microsoft has a database called Event ID that you can use to get more information. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/ee_advanced.aspx to see Event ID. You will have to enter all the information you know about the application and the problem in order to get a result. Once you have it all filled in, click Go and you will be taken to an explanation.

Plane crashes into Empire State Building

A United States military plane crashes into the Empire State Building on this day in 1945, killing 14 people. The freak accident was caused by heavy fog. The B-25 Mitchell bomber, with two pilots and one passenger aboard, was flying from New Bedford, Massachusetts, to LaGuardia Airport in New York City. As it came into the metropolitan area on that Saturday morning, the fog was particularly thick. Air-traffic controllers instructed the plane to fly to Newark Airport instead.

This new flight plan took the plane over Manhattan; the crew was specifically warned that the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the city at the time, was not visible. The bomber was flying relatively slowly and quite low, seeking better visibility, when it came upon the Chrysler Building in midtown. It swerved to avoid the building but the move sent it straight into the north side of the Empire State Building, near the 79th floor.

Upon impact, the plane’s fuel tank exploded, filling the interior of the building with flames all the way down to the 75th floor and sending flames out of the hole the plane had ripped open in the building’s side. One engine from the plane went straight through the building and landed in a penthouse apartment across the street. Other plane parts ended up embedded in and on top of nearby buildings. The other engine snapped an elevator cable while at least one woman was riding in the elevator car. The emergency auto brake saved the woman from crashing to the bottom, but the engine fell down the shaft and landed on top of it. Quick-thinking rescuers pulled the woman from the elevator, saving her life.

Since it was a Saturday, fewer workers than normal were in the building. Only 11 people in the building were killed, some suffering burns from the fiery fuel fire and others after being thrown out of the building. All 11 victims were workers from War Relief Services department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, into the offices of which the plane had crashed. The three people on the plane were also killed.

An 18 foot by 20 foot hole was left in the side of the Empire State Building. Though its structural integrity was not affected, the crash did cause nearly $1 million in damages, about $10.5 million in today’s money.

What?!  Luck Comes from Hard Work?
by Karla Brandau, CSP

When I complained about my lack of luck to a friend of mine, she quoted Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the United States, who said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."

It is easy to be scared of real work. Thomas Edison, American inventor said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

Do you believe success is a matter of luck? Does opportunity or luck elude you?  Do you believe famous people are just "lucky" because opportunity has found them?

What about comedian Tim Allen?  During one week in 1994 he had the number one TV show: Home Improvement, the number one book on the bestseller list, Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man, and a number one film, The Santa Clause. The following year, he provided the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the blockbuster movie, Toy Story.

That sounds like a lot of luck but actually Tim Allen worked hard against enormous odds to achieve this prominence. Have you heard his story?

He was born in 1953 in Colorado and was one of six siblings. At the age of 11, his father was tragically killed by a drunk driver, leaving his life empty and his soul filled with bitterness about the cruel world he lived in. He found that humor hid his pain and in the process of being funny, discovered that he had a gift for entertainment.  When humor was not enough to assuage the loss, he engaged in self-destructive drinking and drugs. In 1978 he was arrested in the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport for selling drugs and subsequently did 2 years in jail.

When Tim Allen was released from jail, he put on his overalls and went to work doing standup comedy and testing his material which later developed into the TV series, Home Improvement.

When you review all of Tim Allen's achievements after serving time in prison, I believe Margaret Thatcher, the first woman prime minister of England, epitomizes the way Tim Allen should feel. Thatcher said, "I wasn't lucky. I deserved it."

As you seek for greater levels of success in your life, remember these "Luck Rules":

1. Listen to unexpected impressions that come to mind: they can lead to unexpected lucky opportunities!

2. Hard work puts cause and effect into motion. Once you have experienced the effects and rewards of hard work, luck willingly climbs aboard.

3. Don't stand immobilized waiting for opportunity. Instead, turn an everyday occasion into an extraordinary and lucky one.

4. Prepare, prepare, and prepare for opportunity. There is nothing more demoralizing than being unprepared when an amazing, lucky opportunity presents itself.

5. Know exactly what you want and be fully determined to relentlessly pursue it and luck will find you.

6. When one door closes, don't stand and stare. Immediately open another one full of luck and opportunity.

7. Give 110%, then luck will kick in.

8. When opportunity knocks, answer immediately and luck will morph into something you have earned.

Follow these Luck Rules and luck will rule your life!

Car Thief
=-=-=-=-=

A little old lady comes out of the mall and coming towards her car she sees four guys just jumping into it.

She screamed "NOOOO" and pulled a small pistol out of her purse and said: " Dont make me use this!"

The four young guys JUMPED out and ran off.

The little ladie then proceded into the car and after driving a few minutes realised " hey this ISNT my car" so she turned around and went back to the mall to put it back.

She then got in her REAL car and went down to the police station to report that 4 guys were trying to steal someone elses car. At the police station she sees the SAME four guys and hears one of them shouting:

"A LITTLE OLD LADY JUST PULLED A GUN AND STOLE OUR CAR !"

The huge college freshman decided to try out for the football team. "Can you tackle?" asked the coach.

"Watch this," said the freshman, who proceeded to run smack into a telephone pole, shattering it to splinters.

"Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed. Can you run?"

"Of course I can run," said the freshman. He was off like a shot, and, in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash.

"Great!" enthused the coach. "But can you pass a football?"

The freshman hesitated for a few seconds. "Well, sir," he said, "If I can swallow it, I can probably pass it."

An elderly woman went into the doctor's office. When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, "I'd like to have some birth control pills."

Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you're 75 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?"

The woman responded, "They help me sleep better."

The doctor thought some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?"

The woman said, "I put them in my granddaughter's orange juice and I sleep better at night."

"Cooking for the Empty Nest"
Recipe of the Week

Veggie Stir Fry

1 "young" yellow squash
1 "young" zucchini
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 "good-sized" onion
1/2 pound of LEAN chopped meat (venison or beef)
2 Tablespoons of olive oil

Wash but do not peel the squash (peel it if it's from the supermarket). Cut the squash into disks about 3/8 of an inch thick. Wash the peppers and the onion. Cut the peppers into strips about 1/4 of an inch wide. Slice the onion into "rings" about 1/8 inch thick and then cut the circles into 4 parts. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan (or wok if you are so inclined) and cook the chopped meat until it is almost done. Add the squash, onions and peppers and cook, stirring constantly, until the veggies are limp and heated through. May be served over rice or by itself. You can add any seasonings you like while cooking. I add a LITTLE teriyaki sauce or soy sauce.
