Google Updater

Basically, the Google Updater is the program that actually does the downloading and installing of the Google services for you. (To be more specific, it works with all of the Google Pack utilities, which include the Google toolbar, Google Earth, Google Desktop and so on). For example, if you were downloading the Google toolbar for the first time, you could use the Google Updater to keep track of how the installation is going. With it, you can see how far along the download has come and how much longer you have to wait until it's finished. It's so cool!

Then, once the program has been installed on your computer, you can use the Google Updater to run the software as is. Or, if you ever need to uninstall something, you can do that through this service as well. Now, you can also choose to keep a Google Updater icon right in your system tray if you'd like. If you do that, the icon will let you know when new services are available or if there are updates for the programs you already have. The Google Updater is just an easy to use access point for all of your Google software. It's so convenient to use and with it, you know your Google programs are in good hands. Get started with it today right here!

Train plunges off bridge

A commuter train plunged off a bridge into Newark Bay in New Jersey killing 47 passengers on this day in 1958. The accident was the result of mistakes made by the train’s crew.

The first bridge across Newark Bay was built in 1864. In 1926, this bridge was updated. Now made of steel, it could be raised to allow large ships to pass underneath it. In order to avoid problems with the rail lines that used the bridge, there was an automatic warning system installed. If the bridge was raised, warning lights alerted oncoming trains 1,500 yards from the bridge. A second warning was put in place 200 yards before the bridge. Finally, a derailer was installed just before the bridge to force a train from the tracks if the bridge was raised.

As commuter train 3314 from Bay Head Junction was leaving the Elizabethport station, a large freighter was radioing ahead to have the bridge raised. As the train approached Newark Bay, its crew either did not see or ignored both warning-light systems. The train was traveling about 40 miles per hour when it hit the derailer.

The locomotive and one other car jumped the tracks and plunged into the bay below. A third car was left hanging over the side of the bridge. There were no people in the first car, but the 47 people in the second car all drowned. The people in the third car were able to escape just before it also fell into the bay. Forty-eight people were injured.

Some blamed the severity of the accident on the fact that the bridge was not fully raised for the freighter. When the bridge was fully raised, concrete counterweights came down and blocked the open gap in the bridge. The train would have hit this concrete if the bridge had been fully raised. However, the common practice was to only partially raise the bridge to save time.

DISC Communications Bring Results by Sandy Karn

It is amazing how many times we mess up communications when it is really important not to.  When we rub someone the wrong way, we can lose a sale, a relationship, a friend, money, success and many more that  you can add to the list.

My dad always said, "Sandy, when all else fails, READ THE MANUAL!!"  I was always trying to make things work without reading anything.  I am a natural mechanic and figured I could do things without the manual.  I know better than that and would keep on trying anyway.  Well, my dad was right.  I often said, I should have listened to him! I didn't always read the manual so what I put together didn't always work right.

The same thing applies to communicating with people.  If you don't take the time to learn how to do that, you will not get the results you want and can lose some important relationships as a result of it. Relationships build businesses.

It is important enough to say it again:

How can you tell who is the D   the I    the S   and the C?

Human behavior has its own styles and categories.  Watch for the clues.  Just about everything everyone does will give you clues that lead to DISC conclusions about them.

Start with some bi-dimensionals of how people behave:

FASTER PACED:   D's and I's

SLOWER-PACED:   S's and C's

TASK-ORIENTED:  D's and C's

PEOPLE-ORIENTED:  I's and S's

That's a start.  See what you can do to map out people's behaviors so you can sell more effectively to them.

Wishing You the Very Best!

Worry
=-=-=-=

A golf pro dragged himself into the clubhouse looking as though he'd just escaped a tornado.

"What's wrong?" a woman asked.

"I just lost a game to Houlihan," the pro said.

"What? But Houlihan's the worst player I've ever seen. How could he have beaten you?"

"He tricked me," the pro said. "On the first tee, he asked for a handicap. I told him he could have 30, 40, 50 strokes - any handicap he wanted. He said, 'Just give me two gotchas.'"

"What's a gotcha?" asked the woman.

"That's what I wanted to know," the pro said. "Houlihan said, 'You'll see.' Then, as I was teeing off, just as I had my club poised, he grabbed my shorts and gave me a wedgie and screamed out 'Gotcha!'"

"I can guess what happened," the woman said.

"Sure," the pro said. "That gotcha threw me off, and I missed the ball completely."

"Understandable," the woman said. "But still, that's only one swing. How did he win the game?"

The pro answered, "I couldn't swing well the rest of the game because I was watching out for that second 'gotcha!'"

Back in the wild west, a westbound wagon train was lost and very low on food. No other people had been seen for days.

Unexpectedly, they saw an old Jewish man sitting beneath a tree. The leader rushed up to him and said, "We're lost. Is there someplace ahead where we can get food?" "Vell," the old Jewish man said, "I vould definitely NOT go over dat hill. Somevun told me you'll run into a big bacon tree."

"A bacon tree!!!!?" asked the wagon train leader. "Yah, yah ah bacon tree. Trust me. For nutting vud I lie."

The leader goes back and tells his people what the Jewish man had told him. "So why did he say not to go there?" some pioneers asked. "Oh, you know the Jewish folks - they don't eat bacon."

So the wagon train goes up the hill and down the other side. About an hour later the leader of the wagon train returns to where the old Jewish man is sitting and enjoying his drink. He was disheveled and wounded. The near-dead man starts shouting, "You fool! You sent us to our deaths! We followed your instructions, but there was no bacon tree. Just hundreds of Indians. They killed everyone but me."

The Jewish man holds up his hand and says, "oy, vait a minute, vait a minute." He gets out an English-Yiddish dictionary and begins thumbing through it. "Oh mine Gott, I made myself ah big mistake. It vuz not a bacon tree. I mant to say it vuz a ham bush!"

The birth of our second child, a daughter, came after a long and difficult labor. But it was definitely worth it when our beautiful little girl emerged, perfect in every way.

Later, in my room, my husband looked at her tenderly, with tears in his eyes. Then as he glanced up at me, I expected him to utter something truly poetic.

Instead he asked, "What'd we decide to call her again?"

"Cooking for the Empty Nest"
Recipe of the Week

2 cups plain yogurt
1 Tbsp ginger -- freshly grated
1 Tbsp garlic -- minced
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3 pounds chicken pieces
Vegetable oil

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt and next 9 ingredients. Mix well and set aside. Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, make 1/2-inch-deep scores in the chicken meat at 1-inch intervals. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat well, working the marinade into the cuts. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or as long as 12 hours. Lightly brush cooking grate with vegetable oil. Scrape most of the marinade from the chicken pieces. Grill them indirectly over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the meat is opaque throughout and the juices run clear. Breasts will take about 45 minutes, while drumsticks will take about 1 hour.
