If you've ever tried to cut something with a pair of scissors and for whatever reason the lighting was just bad... you know how frustrating that can be!! You probably turned on a desk light or a table lamp thinking that would solve the problem but it probably didn't! And actually, sometimes that kind of "side-lighting" creates shadows - making the problem worse!

In fact, the stainless steel blades cut right through paper AND cloth like a red hot knife through melted butter! PLUS these are very comfortable to use. They have a soft grip "ergonomic" handle that's designed to reduce the strain on your hands! And it does the trick! I remember times I had to do a lot of cutting and after al while my hand would hurt. But with these, I don't know if it's because they're so sharp or the handle has a soft grip or the ergonomic design OR maybe it's a combination of all of the above! Whatever it is, all I know is that these scissors are REALLY comfortable to use! Add to that the 2 Super bright LED lights and this is the perfect pair of scissors!
So if you're a seamstress, hobbyist or just plain 'ol need a good pair of scissors once in a while, these are a great buy!

Q: Then another time I had a pop up window that I needed to refresh, but no refresh button was to be found (I wanted to see if some info had been updated). So, my question is, is there a way to navigate or work with a browser window that doesn't display your browser buttons? A:
If you'd rather do the keyboard shortcut thing, that's fun too (besides, you always look cooler when you use keyboard shortcuts). Here are the shortcuts you need: Alt+Arrow - Use the Alt key with your left and right arrows to go forward / back. Backspace - Hitting your backspace key will also take a back. F5 - This one will refresh the page. Esc - Tapping the escape key is the same as clicking the Stop button. BTW - frantic pounding of the Escape key is my favorite way to stop runaway pop-up windows. Alt+Home - Yup, this'll send ya back to your homepage which is hopefully set to www.worldstart.com ;-) One last way, if you have a scroll-wheel type mouse, is to hold down Shift while you move the wheel. This moves you easily through the pages. And there you have it. That should get you through most, probably all, buttonless browser situations you encounter. Happy surfin'. ~ Steve Did you like this tip? Do you want another one? Let us know by rating or adding to it here:
PDF or XPS??? So, if you were with me for yesterday's discussion about the ability possessed by MS Office 2007 to save files in PDF format then you probably also noticed that the file format XPS seems to be lumped with the PDF choice.
Most of us are very familiar with PDF since so much that we see online is in that format. Forms such as tax forms from the state and federal governments as well as reference materials such as instruction manuals are just two examples of common PDF file we use regularly. For the record, according to Microsoft, PDF (Portable Document Format) files are a way of sharing and saving information that preserves document formatting. During online viewing or printing, the information retains the format that you intended. Data in the file cannot be easily changed. The PDF format is also useful for documents that will be reproduced by using commercial printing methods. The big question for some will be… what's an XPS? I mean, Office 2007 is giving you the choice so what exactly are we choosing between? Again, according to Microsoft, XPS (XML Paper Specification) files are a way of sharing and saving information that preserves document formatting. During online viewing or printing, the information retains the format that you intended. Data in the file cannot be easily changed. Sound familiar? Yeah - I'm sure that it does… since they're pretty much the same thing. I've saved files in both formats. I found that my PDF could be opened in both Adobe Acrobat Reader and my web browser, while the XPS would only open in my web browser. Beyond that - I've got to admit that I'm not sure. I stick with the PDF because I'm familiar with it and Adobe. I figure that since I can't find much of a difference I might as well stay with what I know. But for those of you who were wondering about the XPS part, now you know - well, at least as much as I do at this moment. ~ April Did you like this Office Tip? Did you not?

Revive Your PC Are you having computer problems? I mean, serious computer problems. Is your computer refusing to turn on or does it look completely dead? If this happens to be the case, you just need to do some troubleshooting techniques to try and bring it back to life. Follow the steps below to hopefully bring your computer back to "workingland." 1.) The first thing you should check is the power supply just to be sure that there is power available for your computer. Make sure the power switch is turned on and then plug a lamp or some other small item in the wall socket to see if it works. If it does, you know there is power available and that's a good sign. Once you know there is power, you can check to make sure the power cord is properly connected to the wall outlet and the computer power socket. If you're still having trouble after that, check the cord. Does it look okay or is it damaged? If it is, you'll need to replace it right away. 2.)Note: Before you continue on to the next step, make sure your computer is completely shut down and be sure to disconnect it from the power cord as well. Also, keep in mind that all of your PC's components are sensitive to static electric charges, so it's important to ground yourself by touching the frame of your computer's case before starting any of the troubleshooting processes. This will get your body used to the computer case and eliminate any chance of static shock.
The next thing you can troubleshoot is if all of the cards within your computer are fully pushed in to their slots. Go ahead and open your computer's system unit and push down on all the chips, the video card, the sound card, the modem or LAN cards, the memory cards and the CPU units to make sure everything is seated properly.
3.) Now, check your computer again to see if you've been able to fix the problem. If not, keep troubleshooting! Next, check the power between the power supply you use and the motherboard on the back of your computer. If you need to, pull out and reinsert all of the cards. You can also try placing them in different slots until you find a perfect fit for all of them.
4.) If you still haven't been able to resolve the issue, the next thing you can do is take out all non-essential parts from your computer, leaving only the basic ones in. The basic parts are the motherboard, the power supply, the display card, the controller and the hard drive. You can pull out everything else (mainly the other cards) by removing the screws from your unit, as shown in the screenshot below.
5.) Now, replace each part that you took out one at a time until the problem reoccurs. When you replace a part and the computer stops working, you know that particular part is the reason for your computer problems. If this is the case, that part can just be replaced and your computer should then operate normally. If you still see some issues, remove all of the remaining cards, including the display card and floppy controller. Then turn on the power just to see if the power supply is still running. If it does run, one of the cards you just removed is faulty. You'll then need to get that one replaced. These are just some simple techniques you can try to get your computer up and running again. Please use extreme caution when removing certain parts of your computer. If you're not completely sure on how to do it, get some help or take your computer to a repair shop so a professional can look at it. You don't want to risk creating other problems for your computer by doing an incorrect job. Also, if you have any other questions during the process, seek help from your computer manual or call for some technical support from your computer's manufacturer. Hopefully, in the end, you will be able to pinpoint the problem and revive your computer back to life! One last thing: Be extremely careful when doing all of this, and if you're unsure of how to proceed, ask a tech or call your local guru! Better safe than without a computer, eh? ~ Robert Desacada Did you like this tip? Let us know by rating or adding to it here:
Cyber Czar It seems that computer security issues are affecting everyone these days. Even government organizations like the FBI and the office of the president have been afflicted with viruses and data theft. President Obama recently admitted that during his campaign, his office's computers were infected and critical campaign information was stolen! This just shows that anyone can be a victim of cyber crime; not just regular folks like you and me. So, what can be done about this? Until just recently, there was no official government office in charge of data security. Thankfully, this is all about to change. Just a couple days ago, the president announced the creation of a new data security post. The position, called the cyber czar, will soon be active and will hopefully make some positive progress toward securing the country, and in turn, everyone within it from cyber crime. At this time the exact role of the position has not been completely disclosed, but soon we'll know what the US government will do about Internet security in the United States. Many people, including me, think that this position should have been created long ago. Security issues with data have been a huge issue in private and public roles throughout this country. If this position has any effect at all on Internet security issues, it will be a welcome change to the current technological landscape. In the big picture, this position will most likely be in charge of securing important government data and not so much for people like you and me. Even if that is the case, securing the private data of US citizens that lies in government hands is something that everyone will benefit from. Just imagine if someone broke into the social security administration's data. This would be a disaster! As things sit now, this could be a very real threat. Hopefully a cyber czar is the right answer. Until next time, stay safe out there! ~Gary. Did you like this Article? Did you not?

Do You Love Birds? Then You're Gonna Want To Have This! And If You REALLY Love Birds...This Is An Absolute Must-Have!!!
Don't Pay $29.99 For It! OUCH! We Have It For Just $5.97 - And FREE US Shipping! WOW! You know, books are nice, but "Multi-Media" is SO MUCH better! And this software program is FILLED with tons videos, sound clips, drawings, 3D displays and slide shows that bring you "up close and personal" with our fine feathered friends! WOW!!! What a great way to learn about birds!!! The program is set up as a "virtual" museum with three main rooms along with galleries and corridors filled with everything imaginable related to birds! And just like a regular museum, you can visit different galleries and each one features a different topic related to birds. And the multi-media presentations will definitely impress you AND hold your attention! Actually, that's an understatement...wait til you see the attention to detail information in some of these exhibits! You can take, "guided" tours that whisk you away through planned tours of related topics. Or just "wander" through on your own and stop to take a closer look at what catches your interest at the moment!
Some of the features in the galleries include: Bird Watching Other galleries showcase differences in beaks and talons among birds, their global habitats and migration patterns. Still others explain how history and international cultures have been influenced by birds! And what I thought was really helpful is that within each gallery are links that you can click on to see related topics within the museum! When you come across some of the "interactive galleries", you'll have some fun! These let you rotate the items that are on display 360 degrees to get a better view...just like you were there in person!
If you want to find something specific, there's a searchable "Main" index along with an index of videos available to watch. And you'll definitely want to check out the "Anatomy Room" that shows detail drawings of exterior, muscles, organs, skeletons.
And in this edition there's a "Bonus" section that lets you create screen savers and print stationery for your own use. Want to remember a particular bird call? You can also save sound files to create your own personal collection or even use them in other programs! This is a fantastic program and I know you're gonna love this as much as I do. And if you're involved with a group or organization that has any interest in birds, they'll love to see it!!! (But be warned...if you lend it to them, you may not get it back!!) The only thing that would make this even better is a great price and we've got that for you today too! 'Cause right now this is just $5.97 and US shipping is FREE!!! http://store.worldstart.com/ PS - If you have kids, think about this: would they rather crack open a book or click on some videos? And at this price, it's a steal!!
