Computer Case Notebook

What is the difference between a wireless adapter and a wireless card in a notebook computer?

I just purchased a Gateway notebook for my daughter. Upon receiving it, I realized that instead of having a wireless card like my Dell, the Gateway has a Wireless Network Adapter: 802.11g . I have no clue as to the difference and whether I need to get something else to be able to connect to our home network or other existing networks. I don't want her to have to have an external device to connect to the wireless network. In case you need more info, here is a link to the computer I purchased for $899.00 (which seemed like a pretty good deal) http://electronics.hsn.com/gateway-15-4-dual-core-3gb-ram-320gb-hdd-laptop-computer-with-webcam-red_pf-318177_xp.aspx

The wireless adapter is simply "built-into" your Gateway laptop. The adapter conforms to the "G" standard which means it will communicate with all standard "G" routers and other computers which have "G" type cards/adapters. (Note: "B" is the previous standard; "N" is the next generation standard, but the "N" specifications have NOT been approved as of the date of this writing.) You should have no significant issues "connecting" to your home network. Specifically, it is mounted under one of the little panels which are on the bottom of your laptop's case. Even more specific - it is a "mini-PCI" card and is quickly replaceable should it ever fail.

When you make the decision to earn income from the internet you will need to go through a set up process to be ready for business.

Following are the basic steps in setting up for home business success.

1. Attitude

The key to your business success is your attitude.

Treat your business like a business.

This is critical whether you are working part-time or full-time. One of my colleagues is a mother who works from home around her family. She has always put her family first whilst at the same time developing her business. She says, "I work part-time, but I have a full-time attitude."

Put another way, "If you have a hobby attitude you will have a hobby income, if you have a business attitude you will have a business income."

You can be successful working part-time and you can be successful working full-time but it is highly unlikely that you will be successful working in your "spare time".

2. Working Environment

A space that you can call your own, free from distractions for your scheduled time.

A comfortable chair and organized desk.
Stationery supplies as required. For example:

- Pens
- Highlighters
- Stapler
- Whole punch
- Sticky tape
- note book(s)
- A simple filing system
- Ring binders
- Manila folders

Consider the value of a broadband connection. Your time is valuable and a broadband connection can allow you to get more done in a given time frame.

3. Schedule

Develop a schedule that works for you, your family (or "significant others") and your business. When you allot a block of time for work then use that time for work. Equally important is to schedule time for your other commitments - family time, self education (reading, listening and viewing), "health time" (exercise, cooking and eating), and leisure time. During these other times don't work. After all if one of the reasons to work from home is to spend more time with your family then you don't want your working at home time to consume your family time.

You are working for yourself and your schedule (by your choice) is your "boss". When you have people calling you or dropping around unexpectedly or maybe out-of-town visitors may want to catch up with you then you need to make a choice. Are you committed to your own business success? What will be your choice in these situations? Only you can decide what is important to you.

In a family environment you may need to negotiate with your partner and children to have your business time agreed upon, during which you will not be interrupted. Put this schedule prominently somewhere so all family members are aware of your work schedule.

4. Describe Your Business

Be able to describe your business concisely; a powerful one or two sentence description that someone can repeat in describing your business to others. A unique and memorable tag line can also be invaluable for promoting your business.

5. Know Your Product or Service

Once you have selected your product or service to sell, it may or may not be something that you use yourself but you need to know your product intimately. If you are selling e-books then know the content and its value. If you are selling software then use it knows it "inside out". You will develop a reputation of providing quality information and because of your product knowledge you can become the preferred supplier.

It is not practical to use certain products (for example a woman may choose to sell man's shoes or vice versa) in which case the seller won't be a product user, however the seller can still know the benefits and features of the product intimately.

6. Administration

Use good record keeping practices.

This may involve a consultation with a tax advisor who can let you know about the optimal way to set up your financial records and what records need to be kept. Your advisor will also recommend record keeping systems and you can find out what software may simplify this aspect of your business. Additionally your obtain advice on the best arrangement for your bank accounts. You will most likely be advised to have a separate bank account.

You will also need to keep track of your various logins, usernames and passwords. A very handy little software tool for this is Trepid available as either the free Late version (without password protection) or the commercial Plus or Biz versions.

There are other useful tools for this also from a simple paper notebook to free and commercial password keepers. One popular solution is Rob form that will remember your login details and can automatically fill out your login and other registration forms.

7. Computer Protection

Your computer is the lifeline to your business dealings and must be protected including the data that is stored.

You need a virus scanner, personal firewall, anti-spy ware and anti-aware and preferably an email scanner with the ability to delete suspect of spam email from the server before it is downloaded to your computer.

8. A Domain Name

You will most likely need a domain name for your business and one cost effective

9. Payment Processing

You will need a way to process credit cards; that may be using services such as:

This is the most economical way to get started. Once your business picks up you may need to look into your own merchant account for credit card transactions.

Consideration may also be given to other forms of online currency.

10. Email accounts

Once you have your own domain you can use an associated email account. This can further assist in the promotion of your business and promotes a more professional business image.

As a final comment on continuing in your internet business, conduct your business ethically, provide extraordinary service and be proud to put your name to the products or services that you are selling and you will be on track to developing a sustainable long term internet business.

JUDO please suggestions?

I am wondering. In Utsi komi all judo movements are performed perfect. In randori the movements are deep like shi-t. In every most situation the opponent realises what you wanna do and your movement is far from correct (meaning the positioning of your feet , distance from the opponent etc.)

In most cases opponents are arm stiffing you and this is provoking you from performing the movements as they should be performed.

IT IS NOT EASY
The fact is that the opponent is grabbing both of my sleeves hard and is stiff arming. This is making the entrance impossile. I hate this.

I can relate to you. For those that stiff up on me, I like to sneak in and go for a sukui nage or if I'm feeling it, I'll go for a tomoe nage.

We are all taught that tattoos are forever so you should be darn sure that the tattoo design your are getting inked on your skin that you will be able to live with it for the rest of your life. With that being said the above statement isn't necessarily true. Tattoos in a sense are forever but if you have the money and can endure the pain of getting a tattoo removed by a laser you can always go down the route. However, getting a tattoo removed by a laser doesn't always mean your tattoo will be gone forever. You can develop some scarring where the tattoo was and more than likely you will be able to still faintly see the tattoo, not unless you get it covered up with another tattoo. But if that is the case make sure you don't make the same mistake again and be 200% sure that the new tattoo design you are getting is something you can live with for the rest of your life.

The tattoo removal business is ironically booming right now. So you should not have a hard time finding a facility to remove your unwanted tattoo. Now for the facts about laser tattoo removal. Insurance will not pay for these procedures and one session will not make your tattoo mistake go away. Often it takes up to 8 to 12 very painful sessions to complete the tattoo removal process. Now for the cost, it typically cost anywhere from $50 to $100 per square inch of course some places charge more. If you want numbing cream to help with the pain that is an extra $75 per session. Also if you tattoo is colored you will be charge more as well as colored tattoos are harder to get rid of. Lastly, you have to wait 8 to 12 weeks between sessions. So the moral of this story is, don't make the tattoo mistake in the first place. Think long and hard about your tattoo design and the location you want your tattoo and stay away from lover's names. It's best to keep the it's forever in your mind.
