From The Desk Of The Consigliere™

Well, another week has gone by and as usual, the staff at Consigliere™ Ltd. has been busy as usual updating and adding new and improved stuff for your use.

A Word Of Thanks

We would like to thank this week
The Proven Huntress for submitting the below link on "Osama's True Colors" and Christi for the submitting this weeks "From The Consigliere's™ Desk" article. Both submissions are in perspective with what has been going on since September 11, 2001. The below link may take a few seconds to load fully, but we think it is worth waiting to see the full animated effect once loaded.

All the staff at Consigliere™ Ltd. would like to extend our wishes to all and hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable Halloween.

Millions of people, young and old alike, celebrate the holiday of Halloween. But, how many of you actually know the origin and why we celebrate this day?

This holiday is observed on the evening of October 31 in most areas of North America and in some areas of Western Europe. The holiday is symbolically associated with death and the supernatural. Halloween falls on the eve of All Saints' Day, also known as Allhallows or Hallowmas, a holy day in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. Originally a pagan festival of the dead, All Saints' Day was established by the Catholic Church in the 9th century to honor Christian saints. All Souls' Day, a holy day established by the Catholic Church in the 10th century, is also closely linked to Halloween. All Souls' Day, on November 2, is observed to help purify the spirits of the dead. If you would like to know the complete history of Halloween, follow the below link.

Just because the (to coin a phrase)
"Dust Has Settled" on the brutal terroristic attack on the United States, don't get lulled into a false sense of security. This war on terrorism is not over and won't be until The United States and all their Allies totally defeat terrorism so it can and will not ever show it's ugly head again. We urge you to be caution and do not let your guard down, not even for one second. The United States and Allied troops are doing everything they can to defeat terrorism. So should we from the homefront by reporting things that do not seem right. No matter how small or out of the ordinary it may be. It may be nothing, but then again it may be something that the authorities need to be made aware of so they can investigate further. The above graphic has links attached to it where you can report anything you feel is necessary.

The below is a direct quote from CDC based in Atlanta Ga.
"....We are not expecting a smallpox attack, but the recent events that include the use of biological agents as weapons have heightened our awareness of the possibility of such an attack...".

The below article was just sent to The Consigliere™ on October 31st. It comes directly from the CDC pertaining to

Ever since the terroristic attack, we have been closely following the news media (as have millions of others) on what is going on with the "War On Terrorism". The question we pose is quite simple and would appreciate everyone's input on this.
"With the News Media broadcasting everything that is going on and what the United States is planning to do, should the media continue to broadcast, knowing the terrorists are also tuning in on these broadcasts?"

Here at Consigliere™ Ltd. we use and rely greatly on the powers of "Instant Messenger Services" both from Yahoo! and MSN. Our "Queen Of OutLook" (thank You Gatta Bella) was the one who notified us that there was a major update with MSN Instant Messenger. We had to check it out and have downloaded the newest version (4.5). The graphics are far superior and it also has many new options that were not available before. Now that MSN has had a major update, lets see what Yahoo! will do to "Keep up with the Jones'" so to speak. It is only a 1.63MB download that takes a 56k dial up connection about 8 minutes to finish. If you would like the newest free version of MSN Instant messenger, just follow the below link.

Each week we add a little tip to assist you in your web building. Some of the things you already know and sometimes you will come across a thing or two that you wanted but did not know where to find it. This week we will feature
"Pop Up Window On Exit"

This little script is a pop up window in reverse. It will not appear until your visitor closes the page. Then it will appear. You just substitute in the script the URL you want to pop up on exit and reconfigure which attributes you want to be seen such as taskbar, toolbar etc. In this example all the attributes are set to 1. This denotes they will appear. If you change them to zero (0) they will not appear. The last reconfiguration is the size of the window you want to open. This is set in pixels under "width" and "height". Just copy and paste the below code anywhere in the <BODY> section of your document.

<body onUnload="window.open('URL Address Here','newWindow','scrollbars=1,resizable=1, addressbar=1, location=1, statusbar=1, toolbar=1, taskbar=1, height=250, width=350')">

This little tip can also been seen on our "Little Tips" page and also on our "World Of Pop Up's" Page for your convenience.

Every week we receive 100's of different questions on Web Design, Security, Email, Internet etc. There is always one question that sticks out more than the rest. So What we have decided to do is post the top question of the week and show you how we answer it. If you feel you would like to add to the answer feel free to contact us with your input on the question.

Question
I downloaded a program and after viewing it, I really do not want this program in my computer. How would I go about getting rid of the program without messing anything else up?

Well "PP", this is very easy to do and you will not as you put it "Mess Anything Else Up". Since the answer is rather lengthy, even though the process only takes not even a minute, we included the below link on "Howto".
[ Howto Remove Program ]

Each week, we will pose a different question to all our readers and see how it is answered. The questions will be in a forum that you can link to from here. The following week, you will see the answers and a new question. These questions will pertain to web designing, computers,internet, security, etc.

This is a three part question, so if you can't answer all three parts, just answer the
part(s) that you can.

Please don't forward this letter to your friends. The reason being that the HTML configurations will not appear in a forward and all they will receive is words, no links or images.
