Dog Training The Gentle Way - The Sit Command
Dog Training using positive reinforcement techniques is the gentle and humane way to teach your dog the rules. You will be fostering a loving relationship with your dog instead of intimidating and scaring your dog into submission. In this article you will learn the basic steps to teach your puppy or adult dog to sit. 1. Put a leash on your dog so they cannot wonder off while you are working with them. 2. Put some treats in a closed fist so they can smell them but not see them. If your dog sees the treat each time he will learn to only obey when you have food in your hands. 3. With your finger draw an invisible line from the dog's nose between the eyes to the top of the head as you say sit. The head...
Alien Intruders!
You probably didn't casually invite, or extend a formal attendance request to, these undesirables known as viruses.Regardless of your opinions, such cyber-nomads may call on you, complete and active, with their destructive payloads.So what is a virus?A virus is a program that can self replicate or reproduce itself. These programmable pirates have a special talent for attaching themselves to executable programmes. When such programmes are executed (often by you, but not always), so is the virus.They don't necessarily have an ".exe" file extension and are relative masters of disguise. Extensions can be doubled-up to create an optical illusion or optically misleading appearance.A boot sector...
Video Game Violence - What Do You Think About It?
Ever since video game designers were able to put red pixels on their imaginary characters that had recently deceased, there have been people crusading against their subversive ways. The outrage at video games seems to be cyclic, fading very briefly before exploding into the public eye once more with renewed frenzy. The controversy seems to have sparked up again in recent times, with numerous crimes being blamed on the corruptive influence of video games. There have also been various "controversies" surrounding recent video games and their content in the areas of both violence and sexuality.The first game to receive widespread criticism and media attention was the martial art fighting game "Mortal...

If you're going to spend hours developing a web site, isn't it smart to invest some time to insure you're focusing on the most traffic laden keywords?Especially when typically the plural form of a keyword phrase generates way more traffic than the singular form.

Email Signatures as a Marketing Tool
Do your emails include a signature? A signature is a standard block of text you include in each of your outgoing email messages and postings to newsgroups. Most email programs (including Eudora, Outlook and others) allow you to create a signature file which will automatically appear at the end of every message you send. Look under the "Tools" menu or search the "Help" function in your email program to learn how to do this.Use your signature to let others know what you do and how to contact you. For example, here is one signature I use:Cathy Stucker, The Idea Lady Attract Customers and Make Yourself Famous Get a FREE marketing strategy every Tuesday in Bright Ideas Subscribe at: Keep your...

Emotional Colors Of The Web
In many ways the web is the ultimate medium. It lets you communicate with anyone anywhere at anytime. We can really and safely say that the web can be the fourth medium after print, radio and television. It has since replaced the old ideas, challenge conventional wisdom, and deliver the most up-to-date, dynamic, helpful, extensive information right in your desktop literally. Before, I have just treated the web as an electronic brochure with no power in itself to convey messages emotionally to the surfers. Now with the advent of interactivity and customization brought about by connection of database to the web, web surfers now can relate and actively experience the message. They can "join" a...

Advantages of VoIP
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is rapidly becoming a top choice for people wishing to avoid costly telephone service. Why? The system works by allowing you to make phone calls using a computer network, such as your Internet provider. The way it works is similar to email; most providers offer unlimited long-distance calling for a low monthly fee or for a low per-minute rate. Where long-distance fees can run high very quickly through traditional phone providers, Voice over IP can provide the same types of calls for a much lower rate. VoIP is the calling choice of the future, and providers are already scrambling to provide the best service for the best price. For the consumer, this is great...
Some Tips for a Well-Behaved Dog
Train your dog early. Start training your puppy early on. While old dogs can be taught new tricks, what's learned earliest, is often learned quickest and easiest. Moreover, the older the dog, the more bad habits will likely need to be "un-learned". When it comes to raising and training a dog, an ounce of problem prevention is certainly worth a pound of cure! Train your dog gently and humanely with PLENTY of praise, and whenever possible, teach him using positive, motivational methods. Keep obedience sessions upbeat so that the training process is enjoyable for all parties involved. If training your pooch is a drudgery, rev things up a bit, and try the "play training" approach: incorporate...

Nokia 6230i - Simply yet impression...
Even in these times when designer phones are the hot selling cakes, Nokia with a deep conviction, launches a rather conservative looking phone - Nokia 6230i. The handset is heavily influenced by classic Nokia design in terms of shape, colour and design, and thus there are no overstatements attached to the designing of the phone. Yet, Nokia 6230i poses a neat impression, with its compact size and upgraded features. Nokia 6230i is Nokia's first handset sporting a 1.3 Megapixels camera and high resolution screen. The resolution has now increased to 1280 x 1024 pixels. The camera is extremely good and delivers good results even in poor or favourable light conditions. There are options for editing and...

The History of Voice over Internet Protocol
The History of Voice over Internet Protocol By the end of 2006, Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) may account for as much as 25 - 40% of international voice traffic. This prediction is impressive, but it is even more amazing when you consider the relatively short history of voice over internet protocol. It began as a hobby for some people in Israel who were only able to communicate by computer.Later that year, in 1995, the first company in the history of voice over internet protocol to put a product on the market was Vocaltec. They released Internet Phone Software, which in combination with a home computer, sound card, speakers, microphone and modem allowed users to make a phone call...

Increasing Brain Power
"If the mind really is the finest computer, then there are a lot of people out there who need to be rebooted." - Bryce's LawINTRODUCTIONIn the world of writing there is something called "Writer's Block" where the author procrastinates on his work and is easily distracted. Hopefully, he overcomes the problem and tackles his assignment. To do so, he needs to eliminate distractions and engage his brain to the subject at hand. The same is true in any endeavor, be it a carpenter, an engineer, or a programmer. The more we can engage the brain, the more we can produce. The challenge therefore becomes how to maximize the use of our brain. By brain power I am not referring to a measurement of...

A Leadership Screw Driver: The 90 Day Improvement Plan

That's because poor performers are usually smart, motivated, and tenacious -- when it comes to poor performing.To change the behavior of poor performers, avoid the...
