Feathers make exotic and interesting embellishments and borders. Feathers add an air of softness. Feathers may be useful in scrapbooks with a freedom, peace, or quiet theme.
However, colored or exotic feathers may add a touch of adventure or a feeling of a far away land to a scrapbook page.

When gluing feathers, place a thin line of glue along the center of the feather. Alternately, use embroidery cotton to tie the feather in place.

Keep in mind, however, that feathers are not acid free. This will reduce the life of your scrapbook page.

Dried flowers make elegant embellishments and accents in scrapbooks. Flowers can be placed whole, in bunches with other flowers, as petals, or punched into various shapes. Flowers can be used to add a homey touch to photographs or to draw the eye away from cluttered scrapbooks. Flowers can also be used to add to an outdoor or elegant theme.

When gluing flowers, place a thin line of glue along the stem or directly on each petal. Alternately, use embroidery cotton to tie the flower or a bunch of flowers into the appropriate place on your scrapbook.

Remember that flowers are not lignin free and acid free. This will reduce the life of your scrapbook page.

How many steps does it take you to locate and open your Word documents? Try these tricks to streamline how you find and open the files you use most often:

Opening Documents

With a variety of choices, how do you open a file? Here are the standards plus several keyboard shortcuts:

• File > Open

• Open toolbar button (usually 2nd from the left on the Standard toolbar)

• [Ctrl] + O

• [Ctrl] + F12

• [Ctrl] + [Alt] + F2

Selecting More Than One File

Once you are in the Open dialog box, select more than one file to open:

• To select nonadjacent files in the Open dialog box, click one file, and then hold down [Ctrl] and click each additional file.

• To select adjacent files in the Open dialog box, click the first file in the sequence, and then hold down [Shift] and click the last file.

• To unselect a highlighted file you don’t want, hold down [Ctrl] and click the file again.

Stop Hunting For Files

Are you frequently switching to a different folder or drive when you want to open a file? Change the default folder for your documents:

1. Tools > Options.

2. Click the File Locations tab.

3. With Documents selected for File Types, choose Modify and move to the folder/drive that you use most often.

4. Finish by clicking OK twice.

Each time you start Microsoft Word, this will be the default file location but Word remembers your most recent file location each time you return to the Open dialog box during your current Word session.

Find Your Last Work

Click once on the File menu and a list of the last 4 most recently used files displays at the bottom. Save time opening up your most recent work by increasing the list to a maximum of 9 files:

1. Tools > Options.

2. Choose the General tab.

3. Look for the option, Recently used file list and increase the value to 9 files.

4. Choose OK to finish.

As you continue to open additional files, the list of recent files will expand up to the last 9 files.

Add the Work Menu

The recently used file list is great for your current documents but how do you quickly open other frequently used files? Add the Work menu to your main menu bar which makes it easy to locate important files:

1. Tools > Customize.

2. Click the Commands tab.

3. Scroll down the left column, Categories, to locate Built-in Menus near the bottom of the list.

4. On the right side column, find the Work menu choice and drag it up to the main menu. (I have mine between Window and Help).

5. Choose Close to finish.

Now, when you have an important file open, just click Work > Add to Work Menu and your document is added to the list. Your top files will then be stored as links on the Work menu regardless of their location or the last time it was opened. To open a file, choose Work to display the list.

With these tips, your files should be easier to find and open. To insure that Microsoft Word remembers the customized changes, exit out of Word, re-start and test each of these time-saving techniques.

On the face of it, the IT community is blessed with a
competitive, customer focused and responsive anti-malware
industry offering 24 hour operations centres, updates and
patches to quickly block any new viruses or attacks. And even
accepting that handling these patches in-house can be a bit of a
nightmare for customers you can nonetheless say that this works
reasonably well - can’t you?

There is a problem with this view, and it stems from the
tendency to put security protection into neat little
compartments. Anti-virus updated - check - spyware protection in
place - check - and when all the boxes are ticked you can relax
and feel protected.

Except that threats don’t always fit so neatly into well-defined
packages. Blended threats are increasingly common, and need a
holistic approach to block effectively. Blended threats use
numerous ways of spreading, whether it’s email, SQL, Netbios or
whatever, and it requires a blended defence to stop them.

One of the more uncomfortable facts that we, as an industry,
need to face is that the revenues being generated from
‘compartmentalised’ anti-malware applications can amount to a
powerful vested interest- Vendors are frequently providing
protection solutions against single threats or multiple
solutions against multiple threats, and implying that customers
are safe, when the real story is more complex.

In particular, the difference between viruses and spam grows
ever smaller. Should phishing be classified as spam or as a
virus? Is an email with links to offensive porn just spam, or
should it be handled by your content filtering protection before
it even gets to the user?

We’ve also seen virus writers using spamming techniques to speed
the delivery of their viruses, and viruses used to create
“zombie” PCs to help in spam distribution. The crux of the
matter is that we don’t want spam or viruses. If anti-virus and
anti-spam protection is separated, some viruses and spam will
fall between the two.

A well-configured firewall and up-to-date anti-virus protection
can deal with many threats. However, if you have a service that
you need to have open, such as HTTP, SQL or VoIP, then the
firewall cannot work effectively, as this traffic must be let
through.

In this case, the firewall and anti-virus are not enough. You
now need to tie in intrusion detection/prevention (IDP) to
prevent exploits like SQHell.

If you are running virtual private networks (VPNs), they need to
be restricted and scanned in the same way that a physical port
should be scanned and restricted. This means that VPNs should be
integrated with a firewall, IDP, anti-spam and anti-virus.

As well as coping with these blended threats, by linking
together different aspects of security, the overall performance
can be improved. For example, anti-spam protection works better
if it has access to a database of suspect URLs that it can
filter for. By tying the anti-spam engine to a content filtering
database like SurfControl, its effectiveness can be enhanced.

Another headache for security firms has been the port hopping
capability of peer-to-peer applications like Kazaa. If you block
the port that Kazaa is using, it can simply move to use another
port. In practice, this makes it very difficult to stop by
simply blocking ports.

On more sophisticated appliances, intrusion detection
capabilities can specifically block peer-to-peer applications.
But even without this capability, an intelligent use of a
quality of service (QoS) capability as part of your network
defences can provide an answer to the port-hopping problem.
Instead of blocking Kazaa all together, which it would recognise
and port hop to bypass, the QoS can reduce the throughput to
such a low level that the user no longer wants to use the
peer-to-peer application - without triggering port hopping.

Finally, it’s important not to overlook the fact that someone
has to work out which anti-malware tools are best placed to
counter the latest blended threat and to manage all of your
security protection. By bringing together all the logging
facilities of your firewall, IDP, email, content filtering and
so on, reporting is clearer and fault finding is easier and
quicker. It is also quicker and easier for signatures and
defences to be updated and monitored.

So, if a unified approach to protection is the answer, how can
this be implemented? It almost goes without saying that the best
place to put this protection is at the network gateway -
blocking threats before they get onto the network provides the
most reliable solution. That’s not to say there is not an
on-going role for protection at the desktop and sever level, but
it is to say that, for most networks, protection at this level
should be the secondary and not primarily layer of defence.

Several vendors are now offering threat protection appliances
that can provide the essentials of anti-virus, anti-spam,
content filtering, IDP and VPN. The market has now matured to
the point where such appliances can provide the same level of
protection as stand-alone security components, without
compromising on any particular aspect.

Reliable Backup Strategies for Small Business

Small Businesses today use technology and rely on the validity of their data just like the big companies do. However, they do not normally have the budgets to have elaborate tape storage or network storage devices to have multiple versions of customer databases, accounting data or any other bits of information that are important to the overall success of their business.

Most small businesses that experience a serious data loss or catastrophe never fully recover or even stay in business. Events in the past few years like Hurricane Katrina or 9/11, have shown the importance of backup and then securely storing your critical business data outside of your office in a secure storage facility.

Here are some basic recommendations so you can sleep at night, knowing that your data is securely backed up and also that you can confidently restore your data when you ever need to. Remember it is not if you need to restore it is when.

Versioning and Saving

One thing that I have found to be effective in my own backup of files, especially this article, is to save versions of the file as you work. If your document or spreadsheet becomes corrupt for some reason, you can always go back to a previous version. Also, ensure you save often. Nothing worse than having a system crash or freeze and you lose hours of work.

Invest in a Server

Most Small Businesses chose consultants or resellers that rarely show the real value that a server can bring to your organization. Microsoft has priced their Small Business Server so that all Small Businesses can put in a server with email services starting around $3,500.00.

What does a server offer?

A server will provide you with a central and secure system to store your corporate data. Permissions can be set on files to prevent unauthorized access, which could lead to data deletion. Most data loss due to deletion comes from accidental deletion or disgruntled employees that are upset with the owner or management.

Also with a server you will have one place to backup your data to tape or disk, your data is not scattered on your computers all over the network. This will also save you consulting dollars due to the ease of administration.

Windows Servers today come with a service called “Volume Shadow Copy” that will take a snapshot of your data periodically throughout the day, giving you yet another level of backup. You can now recover data from your server without paying those expensive IT consulting bills.

Tape or Disk Based Backup Systems

If your company is using tape or disk (hard drive, CD Rom, or DVD) based backup systems, it is important to ensure that you are doing a full backup every evening. This way if you need to restore from tape or disk, you can feel confident that all your data was backed up the night before.

It is important to ensure that you have a GFS (Grandfather, father, and son) backup system in place, you can do this easily with tape based back ups, you need about 10 tapes to make this happen. I recommend have 4 tapes for the Monday to Thursday backups, 4 or 5 more for each Friday of the month, and then 1 tape for your month end. This is a minimum, you can add more tapes if you wish.

Offsite Media Storage

Storing your backup media offsite is critical to the success of your company. I do not recommend taking this home or leaving it in your car, this is not a secure way to store your business data. There are many organizations that have secure vaults and will charge around $60.00 per month for a basic storage plan. I recommend solutions from Iron Mountain, Kestrel or a local organization, in Calgary we recommend Calgary Archives (http://www.calgaryarchives.com)

Electronic Backup

The next level of protection is electronic offsite storage, this is a backup that is done electronically and sends your critical data across the Internet to the service provider’s secure electronic vault. Your data is compressed and encrypted at your office and then securely transmitted to the service providers. We recommend the services provided by eBackup (www.ebackup.biz). Their services will backup your critical corporate data, your mailboxes on your Small Business Server and your critical customer databases.

Conclusion

The most important thing about any successful backup plan is to ensure you can restore from these backups. Proper and frequent testing of your backup plan will ensure that you can restore from backup in the event of a loss of data or catastrophic disaster such as fire, theft or critical system failure. Remember, you can never have enough backups of files or enough types of backup. Better to be safe than sorry.

A cathode ray tube or CRT, is traditionally used in most computer monitors and the advent of plasma screens, LCD , DLP, OLED displays, and other technologies. As a result of CRT technology, computer monitors continue to be referred to as “The Tube”.A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screenful of images.

A Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in front of a light source or reflector. It uses very small amounts of electric power, and is therefore suitable for use in battery-powered electronic devices.

A plasma display is an emissive flat panel display where light is created by phosphors excited by a plasma discharge between two flat panels of glass. The gas discharge contains no mercury a mixture of noble gases (neon and xenon) is used instead. This gas mixture is inert and entirely harmless.

The glass panels seem to be vacuum sealed, because when they are broken the plasma breaks up, seemingly from the addition of air to the space.

Surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) is a flat-panel, high-resolution display. Some SEDs have a diagonal measurement exceeding one meter (approximately 40 inches).
The SED consists of an array of electron emitters and a layer of phosphor, separated by a small space from which all the air has been evacuated. Each electron emitter represents one pixel. The SED requires no electron-beam focusing, and operates at a much lower voltage than a CRT. The brightness and contrast compare favorably with high-end CRTs. Prototype electron emitters have been developed with diameters of a few nanometers. SED technology can offer unprecedented image resolution.

Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a technology used in projectors and video projectors. In DLP projectors, the image is created by microscopically small mirrors laid out in a matrix on a semiconductor chip, known as a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). Each mirror represents one pixel in the projected image. The number of mirrors corresponds to the resolution of the projected image: 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×720, and 1920×1080 (HDTV) matrices are some common DMD sizes. These mirrors can be repositioned rapidly to reflect light either through the lens or on to a heat sink .

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a thin-film light-emitting diode(LED) in which the emissive layer is an organic compound OLED technology is intended primarily as picture elements in practical display devices. These devices promise to be much less costly to fabricate than traditional LCD displays. When the emissive electroluminescent layer is polymeric, varying amounts of OLEDs can be deposited in rows and columns on a screen using simple “printing” methods to create a graphical color display, for use as computer displays, portable system screens, and in advertising and information board applications. OLED may also be used in lighting devices. OLEDs are available as distributed sources while the inorganic LEDs are point sources of light.

Have you ever accidentally deleted a file on your computer? Was it important? Did you suffer? Well, imagine if your whole website got deleted! This could happen in any number of ways:

  • You accidentally delete the files on your web server
  • Your host’s server crashes
  • The hard drive on your web server fails
  • A hacker gets into your system and deletes all your files
  • Your web server gets a virus
  • Someone accidentally overwrites your web files with an older version

These sorts of things happen to thousands of web masters every day! Even experienced webmasters who should know better lose their files on their web server.

What to do?
Can you imagine having to build your website from scratch again? Quite a daunting task. Imagine having to remember everything that was on your old website and recreating it. It is very near impossible. The longer your site is up and the more you have added to it the more difficult it will be. However, with a bit of foresight and planning, losing your website files will be just a blip in a normal day, with minimum disruption.

The most important thing to do is to back up your website. In fact, if you haven’t done it before, you should suspend reading this article and go and back it up now. If you used FTP to upload your site you will be able to use the same program to download your site. If you have a small site you may be able to use your browser’s ‘Save Web Page’ feature to save each individual page. Work out whichever is the best way to get the webfiles onto YOUR computer, and do it!

Ideally you will need 2 backups of your site, one to save at home, and another to store offsite in case something happens to the first backup. Make sure you label your backups clearly and put them in a safe place where you can find them later. I have to emphasize this last point as I once backed up a website but later couldn’t find where I put the backup when I needed it! Disastrous.

If you update your site on a regular basis you will need to backup on a regular basis too. It is essential that you label each backup correctly with the website name as well as the date. The date is necessary so that you don’t copy an older version of a website if something happens to the newer one.

For larger websites which are constantly changing you will need to install a RAID disk on your web server. RAID disks are basically two disks writing the same information so that 2 copies are created on the fly. Very useful. Ask your web host if he uses RAID disks. It is important to note however that you will still need to do regular backups.

One experienced webmaster relied on RAID disks alone for his backup, however the web server had a virus on it so the backup had to roll back by a month. He lost a month’s worth of work he had done on his website, which was quite an amount as he was changing the design and adding a lot of content. If he had only backed up it would have been no problem instead of becoming the huge headache it did for him.

Remember, there are 3 words you need to remember to protect yourself from a mountain of work if your web files are compromised - BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!

The most popular name for both dogs and cats is Max, but with
the boom in the purchase of discount pet supplies, you’d think
the popular names would be “King” and “Princess.” American
consumers are spending an unprecedented amount on goodies for
their pampered pets, some of which live like royalty. Here are
but a few examples of the ways in which Americans are helping
pooches, felines, and other furry or feathered family members
lead a life of luxury.

Garments: The animal kingdom has seemingly embraced fashion and
style, with dogs routinely sporting T-shirts, coats, costumes,
and even hats. Graphic T-shirts with pithy sayings have replaced
bandanas around the neck, and Burberry coats have taken the
place of hand-knit sweaters.

Jewelry: Yes, jewelry for pets is the latest hot item in pet
fashion. Collars embedded with crystals or faux pearls, hair
clips featuring rhinestones, and leashes that coordinate with
pet jewelry are de rigueur for stylish dogs.

Parties: While not yet rivaling the party industry for children,
birthday parties for pets are becoming increasingly popular. The
pet’s owners invite the pets of their friends and serve
scrumptious (to dogs and cats, at least) snacks and “cakes.”
Presents, of course, are mandatory.

Grooming: Increasingly, dog owners are taking advantage of
full-service doggie day care centers across the country. Not
only do these centers feed and care for their charges, but they
also organize the dogs into playgroups and take them for walks.
Some doggie day spas also offer hot oil treatments as well as
standard forms of grooming. There is also a growing trend to
provide pets with spa treatments at home, utilizing
aromatherapy-based products with fragrances that appeal to and
soothe pets.

Car Seats: Although not considered essential auto parts, pet car
seats and car seat accessories are becoming increasingly
popular. Car seats allow small dogs to look out the car window
while traveling and help keep the pets safe.

Electronics: Manufacturers are now offering a range of
electronics for pets, from remote training collars and
containment systems to bird launchers.

Bedding: While traditional pet beds are comfortable, suppliers
are now offering dog and cat mattresses that conform to the body
of the pet. These dog and cat beds are especially useful for
animals that have arthritis or injuries that make finding a
comfortable sleeping position difficult.

When it comes to pet supplies, there have never been more
options. Online shopping venues often offer a tremendous variety
of pet supplies at a steeper discount than most retail outlets.

Polyphonic ringtones are the immediate successor of Monophonic ringtones and the immediate predecessor to Full Music ringtones. Polyphonic technology was introduced in the year 2000 in Japan. These ringtones have multiple tones that can be played simultaneously using instrument sounds such as guitar, drums, piano etc. The difference between a regular monophonic ringtone and a polyphonic ringtone is equivalent to the difference between a solo flute player and the whole orchestra. Polyphonic ringtone is much more sophisticated than regular monophonic ringtone because the former emulates real sounds through a song rather than a beeping sound.

More than 40 individual notes with different instruments can be played once in case of polyphonic ringtone, making it a more affective alert to the mobile user.

Polyphonic ringtones are compiled in the form of Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) format. Some downloadable ringtones are free.

Cell phone manufacturers use different MIDI files, each having a different CPU capacity and a different level of polyphony, which may be problematic to uniform ringtone composers for all types of MIDI files. To overcome this problem, cell phone producers have been using Scalable Polyphony MIDI (SP-MIDI) since 2002 for enabling the composer to create a single version of a song so that the phone will support multi-note polyphony ranging from 4 to 24 notes.

One development with respect to polyphonic ringtones is the Polyphonic Wizard. This allows the mobile owner to add new polyphonic ringtones and also some pictures to the phone without the need for cables or Short Message Services (SMS). If the software of the Polyphonic Wizard is installed, the cell phone owner can have polyphonic ringtones and pictures, too!

Ringtones provides detailed information about ringtones, free ringtones, music ringtones and more. Ringtones is affiliated with Mystery Shoppers.

Stopping spyware and adware is not a difficult task if people
just simply take the time to be careful. To make it even easier,
however, I have created a simple 3 step guideline to stop
spyware and adware from infesting and slowing down your
computer. Following these 3 simple steps will greatly improve
your internet experience and all in all will make your computer
very happy.

The 3 simple steps are…

1. Only trust certain websites

2. Always assume no

3. Get anti spyware software

Let’s examine each step individually.

Only Trust Certain
Websites

One common problem with people is that they are too trusting. In
the real world where with your family and friends, this is
always a good thing. However, in the internet, this is a very
bad idea.

Let’s make an analogy here. Let’s say you go to New York Park
and a man walks up to you asking if he can borrow $10. Ten
dollars is not much, but he doesn’t just want the green, he
wants your credit card number. You obviously say no and walk
away, right? You can’t trust a man that you have never seen in
your life with something as valuable as your credit card, can
you?

The same can be said on the internet. There is probably one
website to every human being on this planet, and we all know not
everyone on this planet is trust worthy and safe. How can we
then say that every website is safe? It’s simply not true.

When a website asks if they can install something on your
computer, it’s just like the man in the park asking for your
credit card number. You may not be able to see the parallel
right away, but think about it. You may have your bank
statements downloaded on your computer, a picture of your
children, several passwords, and maybe even personal emails.
Spyware and adware not only slow down your computer, but it
actually spies on you and steals your personal information.

How do you know what websites to trust and which to not? It’s
very simple. How do you know who to trust in the real world?
Between a clean, well dressed man or woman on Wall Street and a
man in shaggy clothes who looks to be in bad health in a ghetto,
you’d obviously choose the well dress one on Wall Street, right?
Maybe you know of this website from some other people you trust,
so you can inherit the trust from others. Maybe it’s a big name
website or owned by a big name like Yahoo, Google, or
Microsoft.

All of these websites you could trust because you know of them
personally already. That’s not to say you can’t trust more
websites, though. Such websites need to gain your trust though,
either by helping you personally, not asking for personal
identifiable information, or not asking you to install anything
on your computer.

Always Assume No

So let’s say you are surfing the web and you are on a website
you’re not sure if you can trust yet or not. Out of no where it
asks “Such and such as requested to install an ActiveX
control…blah blah blah” Too often people think “Oh, it’s just
one thing, I’ll click ok.”

This is the biggest mistake on the internet ever. Just like the
man in the park, why would you say “Ok”? Do you know this
website, has it gained your trust? How can you just say yes out
of nowhere? You have to let it gain your trust first.

Let’s say you go to Yahoo! Games and it asks to install
something. You should know of Yahoo, and you know that you are
trying to play a game, so you can draw your conclusion that you
can safely install something.

Get Anti Spyware Software

One sure fire way to make sure you stop spyware and not get any
is to get anti spyware software. It is the best way that, even
if you accidentally click “yes”, it will still block it so you
know you are 100% safe. It will catch anything.

Following these steps should help you out on your journey on the
internet and keep you safe. Following these basic guidelines
will become second nature to you after a while and you will
always be safe. Be sure to send these guidelines around to your
friends as well, to help keep them safe and keeping you safe as
well when they need to use your computer. Good luck on your
journey!
