1. Startup repair
If you've downloaded Windows 7 (and even if you haven't) it's a good idea to create a system repair disc straight away in case you run into problems booting the OS later on. Click Start > Maintenance > Create a System Repair Disc, and let Windows 7 build a bootable emergency disc. If the worst does happen then it could be the only way to get your PC running again.

Hallu all my reader,today i wanna show you all on how to tweak the windows XP registry to make the START menu is faster than the default speed. The speed of the start menu can be adjusted only by using a simple tweak registry.

The default value is 400. Set it to 0 and the delay is gone, but it will be nearly impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate [All Programs] if you mouse over it in route to your final selection. It's easy to train yourself to move the pointer to the right after clicking Start to avoid activating All Programs. Pick a number that suits your style and make the change, then test it until you find a good compromise between speed and usability.

Click on READ MORE below to know the registry tweak....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: String Value // Value Name: MenuShowDelay
Setting for Value Data: [Default = 400 / Adjust to Preference]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Hello my reader, today i want to share a tip on helping all of you in using the command prompt...as all of us know, not all of windows user is able to use the command prompt as the tech geek...soo, here i want to share a bit of trick that can help all of us in using the command prompt effectively..

ok,be ready to take your note k...

1. Drag and Drop
- Being able to open a command prompt from Windows Explorer right click context menu, to the current directory is a big time saver. But what about opening a command prompt to a file location?

Instead of hacking away at the registry to provide this functionality, the easier method is to use drag-and-drop.

After using Command Prompt Here to open the prompt to the current folder location, just right click and hold on a file, then drag and drop it on the command prompt window.
Unfortunately, drag and drop only works in XP and not Vista. Instead you can use Vista's copy file name and path as text feature as an alternative.

2. Open Windows Explorer Window From Command Prompt
-Now that you know how to open the command prompt from Windows Explorer, how about reversing the process. Like open Explorer window from the current command prompt directory.

Just type the following command at the prompt and press enter:

explorer .

NOTE: Make sure to include the dot (period) after the command.

To open Windows to the parent directory that of the current directory you are at (one folder above), just type the following command:

explorer . .

Or to open Explorer to a different directory:

explorer c:\windows\system32

3 - Change Directories The Easy Way
- Navigating around the file system from the prompt requires using the dir (directory) command to 'see' the contents of a directory. But if you are just moving forward through the current directory, there is an easier way to see folders using the keyboard.

To do this, use the Change Directory command by typing cd and pressing the space bar once, then continually press the Tab key to scroll through the list of folders.

Once you see the folder that you want to navigate into, stop and press enter.

Note: if you experience any problems on XP, see How To Enable Auto Complete in XP.

4 - Search For Text
- If you execute many commands, after a while the window can fill up with a lot text. To quickly locate text output from a command, you can easily search for it using the Find dialog bog.

Click on the icon in the title bar (of the command prompt window you are working in) and select Edit, then Find… (you can also right on the Title bar select Edit \ Find ).

In the Find dialog box, just enter the text you are looking for, click on Find Next, and the selected text will be found and highlighted.

5 - Change The Window Title
- Sometimes one command prompt window is not enough. You may have situations where multiple windows are needed to perform several tasks. At times this can lead to confusion as to which window is which.

To make it easier with identifying different command prompt sessions, you can name each window with different titles by using the Title command. All you need to do is enter the following at the prompt:

TITLE [string]

Where string Specifies the title for the command prompt window.

For example, to rename a window that is being used with the net stat command, enter the following command and press enter:

title NET STAT

You may have come across many websites that offer free iPod downloads. But beware as there have been stories of copyright infringement when the copyrighted music and other media files are distributed and shared.

As a layman, you do not know whether it is legal to download the iPod music, movie or TV show you are searching for. So, avoid such iPod download sites as you may be on the wrong side of the law when you download iPod media files from these sites.

On the other hand, more paid iPod downloads membership sites have been appearing recently. You now have better choices to download iPod music, movies and TV shows legally at much cheaper prices than iTune. However, as an iPod user in the midst of multiple choices, we are once again caught in a dilemma to decide which one is the best for us.

Here some tips..

1. Per iPod Download Vs One Time Fee

Does the site charge for per piece of iPod music, movie or TV series file you download? I find it expensive to download media files at iTune, do you? I mean $1.99 for a music video and $0.99 per song is crazy. Nowadays, for a low one-time lifetime fee, you can download as many songs and music videos as you wish. Make sure you compare the pricing.

2. iPod Music Downloads Variety

What variety and range of music files can you find? To me, it is important that they have genres ranging from popular pop to jazz.

3. Huge Media Library of iPod Music, Movies, TV Shows and Video Files

Does it provide a huge library of media files? Do they have a wide selection of movies, TV shows, music and videos? Do they frequently update their database with new iPod downloads?

4. Ease of Use of Member's Site Interface

Is the member interface easy and user-friendly? Ease of use is very important.

5. Free iPod Downloading and System-compatible Software Provided

Do they provide with free software to help you in downloading those movies, mp3s etc? Are they easy to use? Are these software compatible with PC or MAC or both? Can they be used to download iPod files to older generation iPods or only to the newer models?

6. Fast iPod File Downloading Speeds

How fast is the iPod downloading speed? How long does it take for the files to be transferred?

7. Safe Downloading Process of iPod Media Files?

Do they ensure the iPod downloads to our computers are safe? Is spyware removal included to ensure that nothing goes wrong while downloading the music and movies?

8. Testimonials And Excellent Track Record

Is the company getting complaints or positive testimonials? Read these at iPod forums. Hear their experiences in using these iPod downloads services.

9. Legality of iPod Downloads

Is it legal? These are proper sites which have the right to distribute the iPod media files so you can have a peace of mind that you are not breaking any copyright laws.

10. 24/7 Responsive and Expert Technical Support

Do they provide fast and responsive support? 24/7? Do they have the expertise to trouble-shoot when you encounter difficulties in the iPod downloads? Sad to say, some download sites display this feature as an advertising gimmick only and are unable to deliver the level of service.

11. Secured Payment Processing System and Measures to Safeguard Your Privacy

Is the payment processing secured? Will your personal details be divulged to anyone? Most of these sites have secured payment processing and they make it absolutely certain that your privacy is not compromised.

I hope that these tips will give you a good start in finding your choice iPod Downloads site. In my next article, you will be able to read a review of the top 3 downloads site based on the criterion I have described here.

As you may already know, you are not alone in choosing to refill your inkjet cartridges instead of buying expensive new ones. In fact most people today are choosing to refill their inkjet cartridges for the simple fact that it saves a pile of money.



There are even quite a few people who swear by inkjet printer refills and say they work perfect for them every time. Then there is the rest of us who are sometimes disappointed when using refills by having the bad experience of clogged nozzles, leaks, low life spans and less than satisfactory colour output.

You many be wondering why inkjet refills work so good for others and so poorly for some of us. The answer is simply the process the user follows when refilling their ink cartridges.

While printer refill kits provide quality materials and instructions, for some reason people tend to disregard the instructions and instead follow their own way, which is for the most part the wrong way. It is this lack of instruction following that generally causes the disappointing outcomes of an inkjet refill kit.

The most common mistake found in refilling inkjet cartridges is sealing off the vent holes in the cartridges. This creates a major problem as a lot of refillable cartridges require the movement of air in order to dispense the ink.

In simpler terms, when the ink goes out, air needs to come in to fill the empty space. So if the cartridge's vent are sealed it will lead to a build up in air pressure which then causes ink starvation and eventually a burnt up print head.

The other common mistake is pushing the needle all the way into the empty cartridge. By doing this it creates air pressure which blocks the air from going out. By blocking the air from going out you also end up blocking the ink from coming in, and instead the ink will come out of any holes it can find where there is no resistance.

While these are the two most common mistakes, people from time to time think waiting until the ink in the cartridge is completely used up before refilling the inkjet cartridge is a way to get the most out of their ink. But by doing this it can interfere with cleaning cycle of the print heads.

Every time you turn your printer on or off it performs one of these cleaning cycles and if a cartridge is left inactive for a long period of time the ink can gel and cause the cartridge to burn up the next time it goes through a cleaning cycle.

The last of the common mistakes made when refilling an inkjet cartridge is soaking the cartridge in too much water. While this can help to reduce the viscosity of the ink it will also affect the colour of the when you start printing again.

With this said, the next time you end up with disappointing results after using an inkjet cartridge refilling kit think back and see if you followed the instruction manual to a tee. Believe it or not, most of the time an inkjet cartridge refill kit does not work it is due to human error and not product flaws.

Ok...hello all my reader,today i will share with all of you on how to make your PC or laptop more secure before taking it to online world. Here is a some thing that u should do to before connecting your PC or laptop to the internet.

1. Make sure that firewall is on.
Windows comes with a built-in firewall to protect you from intruders. So make sure you use it.

In Windows XP with Service Pack 2, click Start, then Run. Type in "firewall.cpl" without the quotes and hit Ok.
You can turn on the built-in Windows firewall from there.

In Windows Vista, click Start, then Control Panel, then double-click Windows Firewall. The firewall panel will pop up and you can check if it is on.

2. Install security software
Many computer manufacturers offer bundled deals with their systems — you can get a discount on anti-virus and firewall software if you buy it together with your computer.

At the very minimum, your computer should have anti-virus, fire-wall and malware protection in-stalled before it has to deal with the Internet.

3. Make sure that browser is configured correctly.
If you opt to use Internet Explorer, which comes with Windows, make sure its security options are configured to keep you safe.

Click Tools and select Internet Options. Then, set your browser to remember less of your browsing history, protecting your privacy.

You should also turn off the feature to save your Web passwords — always key in your password your-self. The same rules apply if you choose to use an alternative browser, such as Mozilla Firefox (www.firefox.com) or Opera (www.opera.com).

Hello my reader,today i want to share with all of you on how to take a good(maybe a very-very good) care of your PSP.ALl of us know that PSP is not a cheap device,thus,u have to take a good care of it.So,here i will share a tip for keeping your PSP in a excellent working condition.

1. Keep all part free of dust.Just remember that dust can "kill" your PSP.

2. Buy a PSP case.In this case,most of PSP owner buy PSP pouch but not the PSP case.PSP pouch can prevent your PSP from scratching but PSP case can save your PSP from shock(accidentaly drop).

3. When playing a UMD game, NEVER, under any circumstances attempt to remove the UMD when the game is in session! This will actually corrupt the data on the UMD, and lead to the disk being no longer useable. If you want the remove it, first go to the home page and then remove the disk. This saves the UMD and even parts of the PSP.

4. Make sure to buy memory sticks from reputable online shops or even retail shops, as fake cards are a waste of money and you risk jeopardizing your precious game saves and music!!!(remember,fake product is cheap,but NOT SAFE)...

5. Always check the status of your PSP’s battery. You may not know this, but as time goes on battery capacity actually decreases. If you don’t replace the battery at all, it will come to a point where it will only run on the charger plugged into an outlet. So if you notice that battery life is getting shorter, get a new one.

Hallu all...today i want to share with all my reader on how to restoring an iPod to its factory setting.
I hope this will help all iPod user especially to those who are new to this iPod.Ok,ready your iPod and lets get it started....

1. Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:


• Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
• Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
• Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.

During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage.

I'm going to share with you how do I put music on my PSP and making it my universal digital walkman. It is a very simple procedure to put any of your favorite music into PSP. Before we begin discussing how to download or transfer music on to the PSP, we must understand that PSP do not accept all forms or formats of music file.Early version of PSP firmware can only playback mp3 music format and it does not support playback of WMA and WMV audio files, making it less appreciable. However much later, firmware of PSP is able to playback WMA and WMV audio files. To do that on any early version, the PSP firmware needs to be upgraded to playback WMA and WMV audio files directly from PSP. And even if your PSP are able to playback WMA and WMV audio files I would not recommend because of its file size compare to mp3 format.

Generally mp3 music or audio file format takes up far less storage space compare to any audio or music file format. To convert any audio file format is relatively a simple task as lots of mp3 file format converter programs are already available from the internet. You can find huge list of mp3 format converter from the search engine and most of them are capable of converting any music or audio file format to mp3. The procedure provided by most mp3 file format converter program are most dummy proofed. Hardly anyone will find any difficulties in using these programs.

Here is the step….
1. you first need to connect your PSP to your PC by using the USB cable

2. Next, you press "Home" button and follow by scroll to "Setting" using the left-right buttons. And finally you search for "USB Connection" and press the "X" button to enter your selection.

3. On your PC, it will begin to show a removable drive has been detected and mounted on "My Computer" window.

4. Click and open the new removable drive and a folder named "PSP" will appear within the drive. Open the "PSP" folder and you should find "Music" folder from within it. If the "Music" folder does not exist, manually create it yourself.

5. Now you can begin to put your favorite music on PSP console. Simply drag and drop if you like or copy & paste your favorite music and store in this folder of the memory stick.

6. Once you are finished with transferring or putting your music file onto PSP, press the "O" button on your Sony PSP console to exit your PSP from the USB connection.

7. Unplug your Sony PSP from the USB connection and you can begin playback your mp3 music files.

Last but not least,enjoy ur music on your PSP k....C ya...

The Internet is a tool for people to communicate, learn, and shop. Unfortunately, the Internet can also be used to commit criminal activities. Although, there is no fool-proof method to prevent online crime, our recommended solutions and Internet safety tips can help secure and protect your privacy and your computer data.

Step One: Use Antivirus Software
Viruses can get into your computer at home or at work and cause extensive damage to your computer. Viruses can even help a criminal steal your identity and put your personal information to use for illegal purposes.

We recommend installing an antivirus program, keeping it up-to-date and scanning your system on a regular basis.

Step Two: Install a Firewall
In addition to your antivirus software, you can use a firewall to guard your computer against hackers and unwanted inbound and outbound Internet traffic. One of the easiest ways a virus can enter your system is through a broadband connection.

With a broadband connection, your computer is open to the Internet whenever it is turned on. We recommend installing a firewall to safeguard your financial documents, personal information, photos and online communications.

Step Three: Update Your Operating System
Your Microsoft® Windows® operating system can also protect you from viruses, hackers and other online threats. You can receive automatic updates from Microsoft to protect your computer and keep your operating system current at the same time.

To update your Microsoft operating system and other applications, visit the Microsoft Windows Update site. The program will locate security gaps and automatically download and install the necessary patches for you.

In addition, we recommend that you activate Microsoft Windows Automatic Update for the latest security patches to avoid potential threats in the future.

Step Four: Install and Use Antispyware Software
Spyware programs can get into your system from a free web download, by visiting a Web site or clicking on an online advertisement. The spyware program then secretly gathers information about your computing habits and sends the information to the company that created the program. Once the company has your information, the spyware can affect your computer by:

* Changing your homepage to a particular Web site
* Producing unwanted pop-up ads—even when your browser is not running
* Causing your browser or system applications to close or crash
* Stopping your ability to connect to the Internet
* Slowing down your computer at start-up or reducing the performance of your system

If you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms, your system may be infected with spyware.

The best way to remove spyware is to purchase and install an antispyware program. We recommend purchasing an updated product with built-in antispyware capabilities. You may also want to adjust your browser security settings to medium or higher and only download software from trusted sources.

Step Five: Practice Internet Safety
The Internet has made it easy for us to perform activities online such as shopping, banking and communicating with others. At the same time, transmitting information online can also put us at risk for identity theft and fraud. To ensure that the information you provide is not used maliciously, it is important to take some basic precautions.

We recommend that you invest time to learn what you can do to protect you, your family and your data from cyber threats. We have listed suggested topics from Microsoft's Web site to help you enjoy online activities while still practicing internet safety:

Security at Home—Protect Your Personal Information—Watch a video and read about protecting your personal information to avoid identity theft and other kinds of fraud while surfing the Internet.

Help Protect Yourself While Enjoying Online Activities—Learn how to protect yourself while still enjoying everything the Internet has to offer.

E-Mail and Spam—How to Reduce the Risks of Threats—Watch a video and learn how to reduce the risks of e-mail threats including spam, viruses, identity-theft schemes and hoaxes.

Protect Your Children's Privacy and Safety—Safety tips, articles and a video to help keep your children protected while they surf the Internet.

Step Six: Backup Your Important Files
Have you ever wondered what you would do if a virus deleted files on your system? What if your hard drive failed or a power surge during a lightning storm destroyed your hard drive? If you start thinking about what you would do after a problem occurs, it's probably too late. Your Internet favorites and bookmarks will be gone, e-mail addresses, family history and pictures, your thesis and your final report? All lost.

Is there anything more important on your system than the information you invested time in creating? So, why risk losing it?

We recommend you add additional storage media and a software backup application to your system. Then you can automatically backup and save your data as part of your regular computer maintenance routine. Taking this preventative measure can reduce your stress level when your important information is suddenly gone. We can assist you to select the best options to fit your time, budget and experience level.

Here is some tip that i use when to buy a laptop last year and i want to share it with all of my reader...

When you want to buy a laptop,make sure take a look on this thing first.

1.The processor
The processor of a laptop determines how fast a computer is and the speed is given in GHz.

2.Memory(RAM)
RAM refers to the amount of programs you can run on your notebooks without running into slow downs and causing your laptop to drag. 512MB RAM is the optimal amount of memory and the best option for gaming and 3-D graphics.You oso can upgrade this feature later.(buying a new ram)

3.Storage(Harddrive)
40-80 GB hard drive is more than sufficient unless you plan to generate mass amounts of music or data files or you want to install more than one suite like Microsoft Office.(I need many storage for my laptop,so i buy the 160GB hard disk)

All the feature i stated above is just the main feature when buying a new laptop,so if you satisfied with all the feature,you can look for its advantages such wireless connection,the wide of its screen,the usb port,and so on...(dont forget for the free item la)...hehe

well,that all..hope it can help those who want to buy a new laptop...
cheeers...

Spam is named after an old Monty Python skit which took place in a diner where everything on the menu had spam in it. A chorus keeps chanting a song about spam, drowning out conversations. Years later, this reminded someone of how email in your inbox can get lost in all of the junk mail, so they called it spam and the name stuck.

It can be hard to avoid getting your email address on somebody’s list. It’s not uncommon for many people to receive 50 to 100 pieces of spam in a single day – I know some people who get over 300 a day! And the problem is growing worse.

Fortunately there are ways for people to reduce the amount of spam they get. Here are a few tips:

* Never try to unsubscribe or ask to be removed. Those emails may include a link or a reply address to unsubscribe, but 95% either simply don’t work, or you're just telling the spammers that they have a live one.

* Never order anything advertised in spam, visit the website, or in any way respond to the ad. Spammers send out millions of emails at a time, and it costs them almost nothing. Every order or click through to their website just encourages the spammers to send more and more.

* Try to avoid entering your email address on websites as much as possible, and if you do, consider getting a second email account with Yahoo mail or a similar service. That way, you can enter that address instead of your main email. Most websites offering contests, joke lists, free greeting cards, etc. harvest and sell your email address.

* Never sign an online guestbook. As an experiment I recently created a new email address and entered it on about five guestbooks I found with a Google search. Within 24 hours I was getting spam, and it grew to dozens a day within a week.

* Just opening an unsolicited ad while connected to the internet can alert spammers that they have a live address, so if your email application has a “work offline” option, often found in the file menu, select it before opening suspect emails, or disconnect from the internet completely.

If you use a web-based email service like Yahoo Mail, check your mail options for a setting to turn off graphics in emails, or to display mail in plain text only. This helps keep the spammers from knowing you've opened the message.

* Avoid forwarding emails to large numbers of people. Not everyone realizes that when you forward a message, the email addresses of everyone who receives the message is visible to every person who reads it. If any of the recipients is a spammer, or if one of a friend's computer is infected by certain viruses, they can harvest all of those addresses, including yours.

If you do send an email to multiple people, you can avoid revealing email addresses by entering addresses in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) area instead of To or CC — this will hide the list of addresses from everyone else.

If you're sending a message from somebody on to others, you should copy and paste just the message into a new email window rather than hitting the forward button — this trims the message down and protects the privacy of others.

* To deal with the spam you already receive, most email programs allow you to create “filters” or “rules” that move incoming email into a specified folder or even right into the trash.

After that, if you follow the tips above, you'll have a good chance of keeping it under control.

People with a modest income sometimes save more than others who earn considerably more. Paying down debt and building savings need not be a dream. The trick is learning to use what you have wisely. People neglect saving because they don't think they have much to put away. Putting away RM10 a month or saving your change every Friday can add up. Skipping one RM1 trip to the vending machine every week can save RM52. Doing it every day, five days a week, 52 weeks a year will yield a savings of RM260.

Even people who say they can't save money usually can save something.
Just try these tips....

1) Identify key expenses
Such as a house payment or rent, car payment, insurance, food, medical bills, etc., and pay those bills first.

2) Think about short- and long-term goals.
Ask yourself, will you need a new refrigerator this year? New tires for your car come spring? Or, do you want to plan a weekend holiday or vacation?

3) Identifying needs and goals
Usually can help people begin to separate needs from wants, which is key to successful money management. Before you buy, ask yourself: Which is more important? An extra sweater or new ties that will provide a safe ride.

4) Stop shopping
For recreation or if feeling lonely or bored. Resolve to shop only when you have a specific need.

5) Leave credit cards
Leave your credit card at home and carry a small amount of cash.People who shop with a credit card can be tempted to spend more.

6) Pay down balances
By paying as much as you can on the card with the highest interest, while also meeting minimum payment requirements on other cards to avoid extra fees.

7) Choose direct deposit.
You’ll save time and funds usually are available more quickly.

8) Make saving a habit.
Check to see if your employer offers an automatic payroll deduction to a savings account. If you don't see it, you won't be likely to spend it.

9) Set aside money for an emergency fund.
Sooner or later, everyone is likely to experience unexpected medical bills, a plumbing problem, a car repair or job loss. To meet such expenses, saving the equivalent of six month's salary is recommended. That may seem an unattainable goal. Start now to set aside funds to meet unexpected expenses, Earmarking tax refunds can jumpstart an emergency fund.

10) Make a birthday and holiday gift list and add in the extras
Such as a nephew's wedding out of state that also will involve travel expenses. Add up estimated costs, divide by 12 and budget for gift and travel expenses monthly. To reduce gift-giving expenses, take advantage of sales and shop for gifts throughout the year.

Be a Sponge

Take the blinders off and read everything you can get your hands on about smoking. It will help you start to make the mental shift necessary to quit smoking.

Use a Quit Journal

Journaling is a useful tool for anyone trying to quit smoking. Start yours with you and listening for quitting. Include everything from big to small, and leave room to add to it. Think about the pros and cons of smoking and make your list as detailed as possible.

Having others who are interested in your success is very important. The Smoking Forums here at About.com is a thriving, active group of people who can give you the help and encouragement you need.

Eat Smart

Smoking cessation throws our bodies into shock initially. If you take care to give your body the fuel it needs to run properly, you'll find that you're better able to cope with the discomforts of nicotine withdrawal. Have the right foods within easy reach and you'll minimize weight gain due to quitting.

Get Your Beauty Sleep

When you're tired, cravings to smoke will seem stronger while you feel less able to manage them. Fit a full 8 hours of sleep in every night, and a nap here and there if you need it. If you have problems with sleeping when you first quit smoking, try taking a long walk a couple of hours before bed.

Drink Water

Water will help to flush residual toxins out of your system, and beat back cravings to smoke. When you're well-hydrated, you'll feel better in general, which is a plus when you're going through nicotine withdrawal.

Get Moving

If you already have a daily exercises regimen, good for you! If not, start now. Choose something you enjoy doing, and you'll be more likely to stick with it. Aim for a half hour of exercise every day.Walking is a great way to move and it's a quick fix for the urge to smoke. Get out for a 15 minute walk around the block and you'll come back refreshed and relaxed.

Renew Resolve Daily

Your determination to quit smoking is built one day at a time. Every smoke free day makes you stronger, and when you consciously take time to reflect and rejoice in the value of what you're doing, you're working to fortify your will to make this the quit that lasts you a lifetime.

Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude!

Think about theblessing in your life. We all have them. Be thankful for the freedom you're creating for yourself today. Remember that you've wanted to quit smoking for a long time and you're finally doing something about it. List out the benefict you see in your health and overall being due to quitting tobacco. It has been said that gratitude unlocks the fullness of life, and I believe that! Make gratitude a daily conscious part of your life.

Accept and Let It Go

Relax into your quit and embrace cravings to smoke as they come. Don't fight - lean into urges and ride them out. Most cravings last 3 to 5 minutes Think of them as signs that your body is healing - that is just what they are.

Don't Fall for Junkie Thinking

Quitting tobacco is a gift, not a sacrifice. Don't sabatoge yourself by feeling sorry that you can't smoke. You are choosing not to smoke because you want to be free of this killer of an addiction. Keep your perspective!

Be Patient

Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, people don't quit smoking in a day either. Most of us had 20 years or more of smoking under our belts before we quit. Give yourself the gift of time and patience. Work to undo old patterns and replace them with newer, healthier choices. Each day you complete smoke free brings you closer to lasting freedom.


Make this the year you quit smoking for good!!!

You would probably like to download a free PSP theme. Virtually all PSP users do. The PSP has become an incredibly well known, and well loved, machine, and part of that is the flexibility it affords its users. Ipod socks are totally superfluous when you have the freedom to choose the exact way your PSP looks and behaves!

Download A Free PSP Theme Tip 1-Don't use the main Sony site!
A lot of people never bother to look beyond the main Sony Playstation website when they are looking for themes for their PSP. It is virtually impossible to find a unique PSP Theme if you are downloading it from the same place as everybody else. Although there is no shortage of themes to choose from on the main site, there are a lot of people choosing them. Look somewhere else!

Download A Free PSP Theme Tip 2- Do an internet search
A lot of people will use the main search engine to find out how to download a free PSP theme, but use a bit of clever thinking, and you can get what you want. Instead of doing a direct search engine search for themes, look for PSP communities on the internet? Try to see if you can find some forums or newsgroups. This can be a really useful source of resources, sometimes from members of the forum, and sometimes just from threads. You can find custom-made PSP Themes on these dedicated forums.

Download A Free PSP Theme Tip 3- Don’t use a download!
You can try using one of the simple art programs on your computer to design your own original Theme. Virtually any of the simple art programs will allow you to produce a simple wallpaper, and this should be compatible with your PSP as long as you create it as a JPEG file. Another possibility is to get someone who is good with art to actually design a theme for you. You can find a PSP forum which has some decent Themes, and ask whoever designed the themes you like the best if they will create one for you. Often they will be happy to do it, although they may charge you a little for doing the job.

You can do a lot more with downloading free PSP Themes than just following everybody else with EA games wallpapers etc from the official Sony site. Be original, and you will enjoy your PSP more!
