Bookmark in ONE easy step

I have to share this tip from PC World. This makes bookmarking a site super easy. Enjoy!

Bookmark Any Web Page with a Single Keystroke

By Rick Broida, PCWorld    Jul 23, 2012 2:35 AM

How do you bookmark a Web site? Most users venture into the Bookmarks menu, click Add to Favorites (or something similar), and so on. It can add up to a lot of clicking.
There's a faster, easier, smarter way: Just use the keyboard shortcut. Here's the keystroke for all popular browsers:
Chrome: Ctrl-D
Firefox: Ctrl-D
Internet Explorer: Ctrl-D
Opera: Ctrl-D
Safari: Ctrl-D
Sensing a pattern here? Yep, all five major browsers rely on the same key for bookmarking the current page. Why not Ctrl-B, as in 'B' for Bookmark? That shortcut is almost universally reserved for the Bold command (as in boldface text).
Now, it's worth noting that in some browsers, you can do a little more with this command. In Chrome, for example, pressing Ctrl-Shift-D lets you bookmark a page and edit the details. In Firefox, that same keystroke bookmarks all currently open tabs.
Even if you don't get fancy with it, Ctrl-D is a shortcut that's definitely worth learning -- regardless of which browser you use. When you want to save a page for future reference, press it, then get on with your life.

Internet Doomsday - protect yourself

Another hacker-created crisis approaches in July. Read this article Internet Doomsday - protect yourself for explanation of the malware and how to cope with it.

I just don't understand the mentality of destroying others' computers, information, and systems. A scientist friend of mine says that it is a "power" thing.  Do you think these nerds need to get a real life?

What can I do to help?

Have you or a loved one ever been in an overwhelming situation such as major accident, chronic illness, fire, or other situation? The needs are critical, the friends wanting to help but the responsible person is overwhelmed and time challenged by the event.

I'd like to recommend an on-line resource to get help needed in ways that make it comfortable for both the givers and the recipients -- LotsaHelpingHands.com. This has been a blessing to one of my clients dealing with a family member's critical health issues.

The opening lines of their homepage explain the concept:

"It’s the question everyone asks in a crisis—but often, people don’t know how best to answer it, or even how to get started. Lotsa Helping Hands provides an answer.

Create a free, private Community web site to organize family and friends during times of need. Use the calendar in your private Community to match volunteers to needed tasks. Send announcements to keep everyone up to date. Tap into resources from leading caregiver and health organizations.

Coordinate Caregiving With A Community

If you’re a caregiver who’s feeling overwhelmed, know someone experiencing a difficult time, or are simply working with others in your community, we provide a way to turn heartfelt intentions into acts of good that truly help. Lotsa Helping Hands brings:

• Peace of mind for a family in crisis
• Respite for caregivers
• An efficient solution for eager friends and family

Lotsa Helping Hands is always free. Community web sites are always private and simple to use."

May this be a blessing to you or your loved ones who are in a crisis situation.

Security Issue-Facebook "Timeline" Looms: What you need to know.

Facebook plans another change. FB will soon be putting in a new sharing feature to all accounts. However, the information it wants to make public may be far more than you wish to share. PC World advises you to prepare for "Timeline."
