Tip of the Day
Don't Print the Whole File!
Have you ever found yourself trying to print only a few pages of a long file? Maybe you only made changes to one page and you just need that one, not the rest. Sound like a familiar situation? If your answer is yes, here's the solution to your problems!
The next time you go to print your project and you only need a portion of the file, use either the File menu, Print choice or Ctrl + P in all versions. (The printer button usually just prints the whole file, with no options, so using that won't help you here).
Now, take a good look at the Print window. See the section on the left, in the bottom/middle area? Maybe you do have an option after all! By default, the All choice is selected.
To only print the page that currently contains the cursor, select Current Page and then click OK.
To print an already highlighted section of the document, choose the Selection option and click OK.
To print several non-consecutive pages, select the Pages option and list the page numbers, separated by commas in the field. For example, to print pages one, three and seven, you would type 1, 3, 7 in the Pages field and then click OK.
To print a range of pages, select the Pages option and type the first page to be printed, then a hyphen and then the last page to be printed in the field. For example, to print pages two through seven, you would type 2-7 in the Pages field and then click OK.
The Page field box will also let you mix the non-consecutive method with the range of pages. For example, to print pages three, seven though nine and 12, simply type 3, 7-9, 12 in the Pages field and click OK

Today's Highlight in History
Newspaper mistakenly declares Dewey president
On this day in 1948, the Chicago Tribune jumped the gun and mistakenly declared New York Governor Thomas Dewey the winner of his presidential race with incumbent Harry S. Truman in a front-page headline: "Dewey Defeats Truman."
Many of America’s major newspapers had predicted a Dewey victory early on in the campaign. A New York Times article editorialized that "if Truman is nominated, he will be forced to wage the loneliest campaign in recent history." Perhaps not surprisingly then, Truman chose not to use the press as a vehicle for getting his message across. Instead, in July 1948, he embarked on an ambitious 22,000-mile "whistle stop" railroad and automobile campaign tour. At every destination, Truman asked crowds to help him keep his job as president. His eventual success in the election of 1948 has been largely attributed to this direct interaction with the public and his appeal to the common voters as the political "underdog." At the end of one of his campaign speeches, voices in the crowd could be heard yelling "Give ‘em Hell, Harry!" It didn’t take long for the phrase to catch on and become Truman’s unofficial campaign slogan.
In a now famous photograph snapped in the early
morning hours after the election, a beaming and bemused Truman is shown
holding aloft the Chicago Tribune issue that had wrongly predicted his
political downfall. Truman defeated Dewey by 114 electoral votes.
Trivia
If every OREO cookie ever made were stacked
on top of each other (over 362 billion), the pile would
reach the moon and back more than five times.
If placed side-by-side they would encircle the
earth 381 times at the equator!

Avoiding Pathetic Traffic Syndrome in Three Steps
If you have started blogging it is quite easy to see minimal traffic for the first few months while you build a reputation for yourself. It is during this time that most bloggers drop out of the game leaving a dead relic of a blog hanging out on the web all by its lonesome. So how can you spare yourself from seeing only trickle traffic to your blog? The steps are easier than you think in fact we can solve this in three steps.
The first technique and the most potent is simply to produce fresh articles and blog content every day. Writing articles will allow you to gain links and traffic from the search engines and posting regularly can. The continual flow of traffic will occur after you write many articles so do not expect hundreds of visitors after one article it just isn't that easy. Although this will take time have faith that the more writing you do the easier it will become. Once you submit you may be pleasantly surprised to notice traffic spikes as ezine editors distribute the articles to their lists.
The second piece of the pie is blog commenting on related blogs. What good can come from a comment you say? Think referrals my friend, in fact sites that have a high page rank typically have a high visitor count. The visitors read your well written comment and check out your site to see what else you have to say. It is a positive relationship in that the better the comments the better the traffic will be. The other bonus here is that many sites will allow a track back so that your blog earns visitors and back links all in one step. Comment regularly and avoid spam and enjoy the dual benefit your blog will reap from repeating this step.
The third component of this visitor producing discussion is joining blog carnivals in the form of submission and hosting. One of the most well known blog carnival sites is hosted by Google and they make it extremely easy to use. Now there are dual benefits built into this procedure, hose benefits are building links and traffic at the same time. It is just as easy to host a blog carnival as it is to submit to one as you will be provided with cut and paste coding to use in your site. Once the edition is up and running on your site you simply ping Google and voila additional referral traffic just for hosting!
Use each of these steps every day and puny traffic will be a thing of the past. Make each of these procedures part of your daily routine by setting aside a block of time in your schedule religiously. Remain vigilant and your site will quickly climb the page ranks.

A Little Humor to Start
the Week 
Building Permit
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
A Zoning Board had just been set up in a new community. A householder went to the office to request permission to build a small toolshed in his backyard.
"Have you a plan?" asked the director.
"Oh, yes," said the householder, who showed him a map of his neighborhood, the dimension of his yard, and a sketch of the shed.
"That looks fine," said the director. He pulled out a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, Xeroxed it, and said, "Here's your permission."
A month later, a neighbor in almost exactly the same situation also wanted permission for a shed in her yard. She went to see the director, got as far as a secretary, and made her request. "Thank you, Mrs. Smith," said the secretary, taking the documents. "Telephone me in two weeks and I'll let you know what the director's decision is, or what further steps are necessary."
"But," groaned Mrs. Smith, "a month ago my neighbor got permission right away."
"Oh, yes," said the secretary, "but that was before we finally got organized."

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 did we decide to call her again?"

A man goes to a dermatologist with a rare skin disease.
The doctor says, "Try a milk bath". So the guy goes to the grocery store and tells the dairy manager he needs enough milk to take a bath.
The dairy guys ask "You want that pasteurized?"
"Nah", the man replies "Up to my chin should do it."

My husband and I had just finished tucking our five young ones into bed one evening when we heard sobbing coming from three-year-old Billy's room.
Rushing to his side, we found him crying hysterically. He had accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking could change his mind.
Desperate to calm him, my husband palmed a penny that he happened to have in his pocket and pretended to pull it from Billy's ear.
Billy was delighted. In a flash, he snatched it from my husband's hand, swallowed it and demanded cheerfully, "Do it again, Dad!"
