Removing a Virus

If a virus is infecting your computer, you can format your hard drive (or even erase it if you want to take it that far) to remove it for good. Doing that is just like starting over, so it's definitely an option if you've already run out of other choices. On the other hand, there is a "but" that comes along with that. (You probably knew that was coming, didn't you?!)

While the format process will take care of the virus, you have to be careful when you're putting everything back on to your computer. For example, if any one of the programs, files, etc. you put back on your computer contain a part of the virus, it will go right back on your PC as if nothing changed. That includes any backups you did, any media drives you may use and so on.

The virus could be stored anywhere, so you really have to pay attention when you're reloading your computer. Make sure you put your virus scan programs back on first and run them continuously until you have everything installed again. Take your time and be patient. Otherwise, that virus will be back.

Groundhog Day

In 1723, the Delaware Indians settled Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania as a campsite halfway between the Allegheny and the Susquehanna Rivers.  The town is 90 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, at the intersection of Route 36 and Route 119.  The Delawares considered groundhogs honorable ancestors.  According to the original creation beliefs of the Delaware Indians, their forebears began life as animals in "Mother Earth" and emerged centuries later to hunt and live as men.

The name Punxsutawney comes from the Indian name for the location
"ponksad-uteney" which means "the town of the sandflies."
The name woodchuck comes from the Indian legend of "Wojak,
the groundhog" considered by them to be their ancestral grandfather.

When German settlers arrived in the 1700s, they brought a tradition known as Candlemas Day, which has an early origin in the pagan celebration of Imbolc.  It came at the mid-point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.  Superstition held that if the weather was fair, the second half of Winter would be stormy and cold.  For the early Christians in Europe, it was the custom on Candlemas Day for clergy to bless candles and distribute them to the people in the dark of Winter.  A lighted candle was placed in each window of the home.  The day's weather continued to be important.  If the sun came out February 2, halfway between Winter and Spring, it meant six more weeks of wintry weather.

4 Methods To Produce Fresh Article Content Guaranteed by Sarah Pine

Article marketing is by far one of the best ways to build website traffic as the writer creates a slew of back links and streams of reader traffic. How can you continue to produce articles that provide the reader with fresh content? Article marketers continually bump into this issue after writing their first few batches of writing. Let's take a look as some options for you to consider.

The first option is review articles related to your niche to determine what is missing. There are hundreds of popular article submission sites that would be happy to provide you with all the material you will need to complete this task. Read through articles and write down information that you will is missing. You may come across articles that address broad topics and provide little or no specific information. Write your own article displaying the information that was not included in these articles.

The second method revolves around answering your own questions to create articles. If you have come across topics of interest that you have questions on then research to find your answer. Once your research is complete, you can create an article sharing what you found. If you can not think of any questions, you may find when you are reading through articles in the first method presented, that questions will arise any how. You will be benefitting yourself from the additional knowledge and chances are you will be answering a question for your readers too.

The third option is to wander through your previous works. The earlier the work, the more likely for it to be non specific which is certainly not a good thing. Be a specialist not a generalist remember they get paid more. Think about the medical field for a second, who would get paid more a specialist or a primary care doctor? Exactly, so go back through and make sure you articles provide specific content if they do not update and create with new infused content. Depending on how many articles you have written you maybe able to generate another few months of content using this method alone.

The fourth and most powerful method is asking your readers what it is they have been trying to answer. You have a few options available when determining how to do this. If you have built an opt in list of email addresses, then send a quick email to ask your readers what they want to know. If possible, offer the reader something for responding, such as free tips or a product discount. If you are not lucky enough to have an email list then you can use forums for the same purpose.

The sole purpose of forums is to share information often times in the form of question and answer. Skim through several forums to see if you can spot any trends. When there is a hot topic you will see the same question posted through out several forums. Research and create content that answers this question. Once your article is complete you can revisit the forum let the participants know you have the answer. Depending on the forum, you can place a link to the website that contains your article. Revisit this article anytime you are struggling for ideas and you articles will continue to flow.

  A Little Humor to Start the Week 

Little Johnny
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Little Johnny was left to fix lunch.  When his mother returned with a friend, she noticed that Johnny had already strained the tea.  So the two women sipped their tea happily while having lunch and chit-chatted.

Afterwards, when her friend had left, Little Johnny's mother talked to him.

"Was it hard finding the tea strainer in the kitchen?" his mother asked.

"Ma, I couldn't find it, so I used the fly swatter." replied Johnny.

His mother nearly fainted, so Johnny hastily added, "Don't get excited, Ma, I used the old one!"

Salesman: "To the first five words I speak when a woman opens the door.  I always ask: 'Miss, is your mother in?'"?"

I's strange, isn't it.  You stand in the middle of a library and go 'Aaaaaaagghhhh' and everyone just stares at you.

But you do the same thing on an airplane, and everyone joins in".

A guy raises his glass and toasts his blonde girlfriend. "May you be in Heaven a half-hour before the devil knows you're dead!"

"What's that mean?"

"That is an authentic Irish toast."

"Oh. In that case, here's to bread, eggs and cinnamon."

"Bread, eggs and cinnamon? What's that?"

"That's French toast."
