The Internet is all about communication and email and newsreader programs are central to that. So why do most people not bother looking beyond the mail application that comes with their browser?

Outlook Express is a program commonly used for handling email and newsgroup messages. If your browser comes with a program to deal with email and newsgroups, then it may seem there is no need to look somewhere else, but how else are you going to be sure you are using the best program for your needs?

When you are working on your application for graduate school, you will inevitably reach this area: the Graduate School Personal Essay. This summary is an influential and powerful statement that may hold more influence than test scores or previous education.

A concise and eloquent statement tells the admissions staff many things about you. This is your opportunity to highlight all your positive qualities. Are you attempting to further your career to help others? To open opportunities for communities or other areas that are currently in need? Are you determined? Ambitious? Would your drive match the demands of graduate school?



When you pick up a book, you usually do three things: you look at the cover; read the blurb on the back and you read the first paragraph to see if you like it.

As an author, you often don’t have much control over (1) the book cover or (2) the blurb, BUT every writer knows that a sizzling story start is vital! That first paragraph has to grab the reader’s attention instantly. Smart writers know you reveal more about your characters by showing them in action, rather than by writing long slabs of description about where they are and what they wear.

With yearly tuition increases exceeding twice the rate of inflation, aid packages contain a lot more loans than grants. Before applying to Our Lady of Perpetual Increase University, consider these 5 recommendations:

1. Look for the steak, ignore the sizzle. Financial aid is nothing more than a game played by someone else’s rules and on their playing field. Your opponent believes you’re clueless. Protect yourself with a skeptical attitude, which comes with being better informed. Just by looking at their stunning websites, you can conclude colleges are experts at selling sizzle in the thoughtless expectation you won’t wince at the price. Your best defense is to focus on the steak. How?



Turbulent Times! Reversal in your financial security. Home Foreclosure accompanied a job loss. Have you reached your stress threshold? Do you find methods previously used when at this point just don’t work anymore?

Is this the scene or one similar? Bills mounting, payment deadlines missed, plumbing breaks down, turns into a major problem; roots of the beautiful weeping willow tree have entwined the sewer line pipes to the house, tree must be cut down, major repair to sewer system, one of your car needs new tires; yesterday. You can’t afford to explode! What do people do, for heaven’s sake?



Let’s say you’re on an elevator, the door opens, and someone you know steps in. She says, “I hear you’re writing a book. Wow, that’s great. What’s it about?”

Can you answer that question before you get to the next floor? You may be thinking, “Of course, I can. It’s my book, isn’t it?” Yes, but chances are you will be still be talking when the elevator door opens again. Completing this critically important sentence in 30 seconds or less is not easy. In fact, it takes most people quite a while to describe their books in a way that other people understand.
