Tip of the DayKeep the Taskbar on Top
"Keep the Taskbar on Top" causes a toolbar to be the topmost item on your desktop. In other words, it will always be visible and you won't be able to "cover" it with another window.
Some windows have a setting for this as well, usually "tool" type windows. The most common place you'll find it is on a menu on the Windows taskbar. Right-click your taskbar and select. "Properties" then click the box for "Always on top".

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher
Have you heard that physiology, body language, is 55% of the Communication?
That means you don't even have to say anything to come across angry, dejected, happy, successful, etc. You are already communicating without even talking -- many times you don't even realize it -- simply by the way you are standing or sitting.
Well, let's utilize that knowledge. How can that help you?
Find a person who you feel is a success. In your mind, visualize standing next to that person when he is at his peak of success. There you are, standing right beside him.
Check his posture. Check your posture.
What expression does he have on his face? Compare that to yours. What is the difference?
Where are his hands, what are they doing? How about yours? Notice the difference?
Where is he looking? Where are you looking?
What is it about his stance that shouts SUCCESS? What is there about yours that does or doesn't?
Now, in your mind, make the changes. See yourself with the same expression and body language. How does that feel?
Great, huh?
TIP: If it doesn't feel great, work with it until it does. Make all the changes you need to feel the success you want to be.
Good luck!

Food for Thought
Work Less, Earn More
Robert T Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," states that the rich don't work for money; they have other people work for their money.
This is invaluable wisdom for anyone who owns or operates a business.
Too many people are under the impression that, once you own your own business, your life will be smooth sailing.
However, owning your own business often means adding to your responsibilities. Sure, you have the choice of whether or not to do more work, but when more money is at stake, most people choose to take on more work than they can handle.
But it doesn't have to be that way!
Do as Kiosaki says and have others work for your money.This doesn't have to mean employing a full time staff.
Solicit as much work as you can and outsource to independent vendors or freelancers who will do the actual work. Then you can take a big cut of the money, as you were the one to find the project.

Quote of the Day
"The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do, but the absence of doing it."
-- Peter Drucker, management expert and author
GrinsSally Sells
=-=-=-=-=-=A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day.
She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively, then speak to them. If they seemed to respond negatively, there would be a quick exchange, she would nod and then wander off. The couple assumed she she was a cop, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.
"Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?" He hadn't and said so.
He said "I'm going to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing."
The wife was hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. She ran down to the beach and asked her husband to give her the full story.
The man grinned and said, "She's a battery salesperson."
"Batteries?"cried the wife.
"Yes," he replied.!
OOOOOOOH!!!!!!, said the wife. "She sells C cells down by the sea shore."

A husband stepped on one of those penny scales that tell you your fortune and weight and dropped in a coin.
"Listen to this," he said to his wife, showing her a small, white card. "It says I'm energetic, bright, resourceful and a great person."
"Yeah," his wife nodded, "and it has your weight wrong, too."

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary ForemanHeat, Humidity and Mold
Gary, I live in Atlanta, GA. I own a 1,000 square foot condo. I am cold natured and so I don't really run the air conditioner as much as other people might. However, down here in the South, we have something called humidity. It's not even a matter of me being comfortable. It's the mold issue. I'm allergic. Also, to cut costs, I have started hanging all my clothes to dry rather than using the dryer. I have to hang them inside (no yard). So, I'd like to cut costs as much as possible by not running the air conditioner, but I also do not want mold. Would changing the fan on the thermostat to "on" instead of "auto" help any with the dampness? Also, would purchasing a dehumidifier be an option?
Thanks,
Elizabeth-----
Elizabeth has set up a pretty good challenge for herself. She lives in the hottest, wettest portion of the country. Since she's in a condo, she can't line dry her clothes outside. Plus, she's allergic to mold. But that doesn't mean that she has to throw in the towel. There are things that she can do to control the temperature, humidity and her budget.
Let's begin by analyzing the problem. Summers in Atlanta are hot and humid. That's a given. We know what temperature is, but what is humidity? Weather.com defines humidity as "the amount of water vapor in the air."
And, according to the EPA, moisture in the air encourages the growth of mold. They suggest keeping indoor humidity between 30 and 60% to control the growth of mold.
How do we do that? As Elizabeth pointed out, her air conditioner reduces humidity. It's part of the process of cooling air. But an air conditioner is expensive to run.
That brings us to the dehumidifier. According to Wikipedia, a dehumidifier is "a household appliance that reduces the level of humidity in air."
They are built very much like an air conditioner. So it's not a cheap appliance to run. Elizabeth shouldn't be surprised if her dehumidifier costs between $25 and $50 a month to run (it would be less in a dryer climate). Still, that's cheaper than running an air conditioner.
Dehumidifiers are rated based on how many pints of water they can remove in 24 hours. Elizabeth will probably need something that will remove about 17 pints per day.
Many dehumidifiers include a humidistat that will automatically shut it off when the proper humidity level has been reached. She may need to buy a hygrometer, which measures relative humidity. Electronic ones are available for less than $30.
One other tool that could help Elizabeth is a fan. Even if she doesn't have ceiling fans, a table or floor fan will do. Moving air feels cooler than standing air. That's because the moving air absorbs more heat from your skin.
Now that we understand our tools, let's put a strategy together for Elizabeth. First, the dehumidifier will cost less to run than the air conditioner. So she'll want to set it to run any time the relative humidity is over 50%.
Keeping a fan going in the room that she's in will allow Elizabeth to set her air conditioner at a higher temperature. Eighty is not uncomfortable if there's air moving in the room.
Elizabeth asked about keeping the fan on the air conditioner running constantly. That's probably not the best answer. The central A/C motor will use more electricity than the smaller motor on a ceiling or room fan. The only exception would be if the central air conditioner fan was equipped with a filter that's good enough to remove pollen from the air. Then it could be worthwhile to consume the extra electricity.
There are a couple of other things that Elizabeth can do to help. Use exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen, especially when showering or using steam or boiled water to cook food.
Better yet, don't generate the extra moisture. Shower at the gym and save those steamed/boiled recipes for the winter months.
Drying her clothes at home is probably not a good idea unless she has an outdoor balcony. What she saves at the laundromat, she'll spend running the dehumidifier.
Elizabeth can accomplish what she wants. Yes, it would be easier in other parts of the country or in a home where she could dry clothes outdoors. But reasonable use of a fan, dehumidifier and air conditioner should allow her to control humidity and temperature without sweating her budget too much.
Keep on Stretching those Dollars!
