If you own a computer these days, you no doubt know how important it is to have a good internet security software on your computer. A statistic by a major virus software company expected in 2006 to have recorded their 225,000th unique computer / network threat, finding 50,000 threat between jan and nov 2006 alone. Obviously that number has increased since then. Viruses and Malware are increasing in record numbers these days to target unsuspecting people to gain access to vital personal information on their computers. Not only does malware and viruses compromise your personal information, it can drastically slow down your computer and sometimes even take over control. That’s why it is so important to have top notch internet security software to protect your computer. It’s easy to shop around online these days and find internet security software. The most difficult problem is finding the best software.

 

I was searching the web for some internet security software and found some really good software packages but then I stumbled upon this VIPRE Internet Security. Not only is this good internet protection but it is Award Winning Anti-Virus software protection that comes with a firewall, a spam filter and website blocking into one easy to use but powerful solution to your internet security problems. It is the only anti-virus software to include automatic software patching with an easy to update feature. Downloading was simple. After the software downloaded, I ran the installation and that was it. There’s no having to worry about changing this setting or changing that setting.  It runs in the background so I didn’t have to do anything. This software gave me true peace of mind and now I don’t need to worry about having malware or virus on my computer. As a matter of fact, while I was writing this article, the software actually caught this threat on my computer. This software is the best! Thanks Viper!

5 Tips for Writing up Invitations

Posted on by

Inviting friends, family, and acquaintances to a special event requires careful consideration. The invitations that you select, and the text included within, should set the right tone for the event and entice the recipient to attend. Following the tips below will help ensure that the event is a success.

1. Selecting the Right Invitation

Choosing the correct invitation cards for the event that is being hosted is the first step towards making a positive first impression on a prospective guest. Formal weddings, candlelit dinners, and receptions require elegant invitations, while casual events may utilize more basic invitations. Rely on major greeting card companies for appropriate invitations if the event is quite large. Making invitations using specialty paper and supplies (found at most craft stores) adds a personalized touch for smaller events. Alternately, email or the Evites web service are acceptable choices for casual events.

2. Providing Appropriate Lead Time

Give guests at least one month of lead time to decide if they would like to attend a wedding, reception, or other major event. Two months or more, especially for events where a gift or long-distance travel is required, is best. Smaller events, like a dinner party or a surprise birthday party, should be scheduled 1-2 weeks in advance to ensure that an adequate number of guests arrive.

3. Drafting an Invitation’s Message

Select the script to write within using best judgment with consideration towards the formality and scale of the event. It is best to draft this information before beginning to write out invitations, as it is critical to provide uniform information to every person invited.

Consider the following when drafting the message:

  • What time will the event begin? Is there an official “ending” time?
  • What should the guest bring, if anything?
  • Where will the event be held? If it is at the host’s home, be sure the address is clearly provided—do not assume that the guest remembers the location! Provide directions on an additional sheet of paper, if necessary.
  • What date should the guest RSVP by?
  • If the event is a dinner party, will dietary considerations of the guests be considered in preparing the menu? If so, include this near the RSVP.
  • Provide additional contact information, such as email or phone number, if paper invitations are used.

Formal language, such as “The family of Jane Doe humbly requests your invitation…” is acceptable for large events like formal weddings and graduation parties. Smaller, more casual events should utilize appropriate, everyday language with a personalized tone.

4. Writing the Actual Message

If sending electronic invitations, sending the drafted message you have composed, with some refinements, is the final step to this process. However, for those sending paper invitations, do note that a hand-written note will be more warmly received than a pre-printed message. A hand-written note strikes the guest as being personalized, especially if a small aside is included. By taking the time out to write the note by hand, the guest is shown that his or her presence at the event would be greatly valued.

5. Addressing the Envelopes

After hand-writing many invitations, making minor mistakes when addressing envelopes is a common issue. Take a break between hand-writing the contents of the invitation and addressing the envelopes. Putting the name of the recipient on the front of the envelope, then composing the message inside will prevent invitations from being mixed up.

Take the time to verify if the addresses on file are correct. If in doubt, call the friend or family member to confirm the address. Avoiding postal delays will ensure that everyone who wants to attend will get the message.

Following these tips to invite friends and family members to a special event will ensure its success. Setting the right tone for a wedding, graduation, or reception before it happens provides guests with an idea of what to expect on the big day. Remember to give guests fair warning if gifts, special attire, or long-distance travel will be required.

Empty Nester

Posted on by

Authored by Oswaldo Blackburn

We are moving my youngest daughter to college! She is the last to leave the nest so I am officially an empty nester. I do not know what I will do with my time, although over the last couple of years, I have had a glimpse into this upcoming period of my life. Summer has not needed me so much since she began to drive a couple of years ago. And I have relinquished a lot of my school mom activities and responsibilities as the girls got older. I was always the room mom when they were in elementary school. I organized the seasonal parties, called the other mothers for assistance, bought the teacher gifts, chaperoned school field trips and dances, and sent homemade cookies to class about once a month. I made sure my girls were happy and had a great learning and socializing experience in school. Now, I may call expertsatellite and add some more cooking and travel channels for my viewing since I will have so much extra time on my hands now!

Gadget freak

We are anxiously waiting for our tax refund and hopefully it’ll be here before the week is over. I can’t want to shop for my DSLR at the local electronic store and my husband mentioned that he’ll go and check the store’s refurbished netbooks as well and if he sees something he likes, he said he might purchase it. My husband loves gadgets and electronics, that’s just the way he is. He already owned my Sony VAIO laptop because I’m not using it. He told me though that I have to take it with me whenever I go back to the Philippines for a vacation so we can communicate with each other. However, he told me upfront earlier today that he wants an iPad 2. I told him that he can get what he wants because he’s the one who brings home the bacons anyway. We’ll see!

Thanks to my fist job

Posted on by

Whatever knowledge I may have from Microsoft Office program right now, I will credit it to my first job. I worked as a Data Encoder before and that’s how I learned how to use the Microsoft Word including the Microsoft Excel. I love these two programs because I can pretty much do a lot of things from it. I know a lot of the menu buttons and its function. As a matter of fact, without the Microsoft Office program installed in my computer I feel incomplete. I do my work on the MS-Word a lot and whenever I do inventories and reports of my earnings; I do it on my MS-Excel. What I love about the Microsoft Excel is the AutoSum, Charts Wizzard, Format – Rows and Columns. MS-Excel is very good for numbers and charts.

I know for sure that there are things that I still have to learn about MS-Excel and if there’s a Microsoft Excel Training available for free, I will no doubt take advantage of learning more from it because MS-Excel is really an interesting program. I think if I didn’t get the Data Encoding Job then I don’t think I will know how to use the MS Office program period. I know I have some friends who still don’t know how to use these programs even though they’ve been using the computer for years. I am just so thankful that I was able to learn from it because I am and will be benefiting from it for as long as I’m alive.

A New Toy

Guest post written by Jan Stevens

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful my new electronic devices have been for me so far. For Christmas, I decided to get myself a laptop, and it’s been one of the best things I could have ever done for myself. I also invested in one of the new smartphones, and set up a media plan. Nowadays, things are pretty quiet around the house, and sitting in front of the television just isn’t interactive. With my new devices, I actually feel connected to the outside world. It’s great to be able to seek out webpages on my own interest and try and connect with family. It’s really a wonderful thing and I don’t know why I went all these years without one.

I am also impressed by the online shopping abilities. I’ve been able to purchase some things that I’ve wanted for a while without having to leave the living room couch. It’s absolutely incredible. I was able to get some information on Hearing Specialists Tarpon Springs, FL hearing aids before purchasing, and I was to get some great advice on new televisions. I love having a laptop, and I’m never going back.

New Notebook

Posted on by

My husband bought a new laptop computer the other day and we’re still waiting for it to be shipped into our hand. He was browsing for laptop computers and he had me pick which one I would love to have. I picked the Acer Aspire 15.6″ Notebook since it meets our budget. I could’ve gotten the Sony 14″ VAIO Notebook but the price is way overboard. We can’t afford it for now maybe in the future we will buy it. Actually, it wasn’t really planned to purchase a new notebook this soon but because our old laptop is causing us a lot of trouble and now it’s not even working anymore, we didn’t have a choice but to get a new one. This new notebook is pretty much the same with our old laptop.

Online auction

Posted on by

I used to participate in an online auction website and bid for watches and jewelries. It was fun and cool because most of the bids I participated in, I won. The items that I won were sent to my family back home in the Philippines. The thrill of winning is really cool and I love it. Online auction became a leisure to me and sometimes I don’t even realize that I spend most of my day bidding on certain items. It’s been awhile though that I haven’t played the online auction and I forgot the website where I’m registered with. I guess I might have to try another online auction and see what they can offer me.

Buy.com: your electronics store for great deals

Posted on by


My husband recently needed to buy a new charging cable for his Acer laptop computer because the original one finally quit after 3 years of service. He priced the cable at most of the major electronic stores here in San Diego and found out it’s quite expensive. One store was selling them for about $54 dollars while another popular store was getting $100 for the same thing! He couldn’t afford that so I found one at this website for about $20 so I went ahead and ordered it. To make a long story short, the post office said that they couldn’t deliver the package because the address was wrong. Apparently the place were I ordered it from got the address wrong so it was sent back. I was so mad because I had been waiting for 2 weeks for that cable so I cancelled the order and went to another website called buy.com and ordered it there. They were having a sale on computer stuff so I was able to find it for the same price as the other website. I got my cable without any problems less than a week later. I posted a picture of the receipt as proof that I ordered from them. I’m so happy with the level of service I received from them and will continue to shop at buy.com for all my computer needs. Thanks buy.com!
