Pull over into the nearest safe spot when the water temperature gauge shows that your car is overheating. Shut off the engine and open the hood, let as much heat escape as possible. Turn your ignition on so your heating system works. Turn on the heat and the blower at full blast for a few minutes in order to subtract more heat from the engine system. Do not shower the engine with cold water, let it cool off gradually. Depending on what climate zone you´re in, that process could take well over an hour.
Check the engine coolant level in the radiator tank. If that level is low, open cap and fill tank with engine coolant. If you do not have any engine coolant with you, you can use cold water as well. Start the engine after it cooled off in order to let the coolant or water circulate into the radiator system. Keep the engine running in 'neutral'. Fill more coolant or water into the tank until the level reaches the mark 'hot'. Close cap and watch the temperature gauge for a few minutes while the engine idles. If the engine does not overheat again, you can safely drive on. If you used water to fill the tank, you should drive to the nearest service station and replace some of the water in your radiator with engine coolant.
Watch the temperature gauge after you started the cooled-off engine with the freshly added coolant or water. It is okay if the gauge goes over the safe limit mark for a few seconds, then bounces back into safe temperature regions. That means your thermostat is working properly. However, if the engine overheats again for more than 30 seconds, shut it off. Most likely, you will need a new thermostat, or in some very rare instances, a new hose. Do not attempt to drive an overheated car to the nearest service station for a thermostat replacement, which is an inexpensive and quick repair job which just about any mechanic can do. Have the car towed.

Locate the required FTP log in information. This information is available from the web hosting company that hosts the website and includes the username, password, host/address, and port for the FTP site.
Open the FTP client software program on the local computer. Dozens of freeware programs exist and may be downloaded and installed in minutes (see Resources).
Create a new FTP site profile in the FTP client program. This option is usually found under the 'File' menu and is labeled 'Site Manager' or 'Remote Browser' in most cases.
Add the FTP site information to the new website profile and save the changes. Enter the information obtained from the hosting company in the appropriate text fields.
Press the connect button to open the FTP connection between the local computer and the web server.
Select the files on the local computer and drag them to the target folder on the web server to initiate the upload process.

How to Troubleshoot AirPort IssuesIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Check the wire connections at your AirPort's base station. First check to be sure that the unit is getting power and turned on. Swap out the Ethernet cord that connects to the base station for a cord that you know works.
Determine whether the AirPort issues are affecting one computer or all of the computers on the network. If the problem is on the entire network, trying turning off the AirPort base station for a few minutes. You should also restart all of your computers while you're waiting to power up the base station.
Open up the System Preferences by clicking on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen and then go into the 'Network' preferences. Verify that your AirPort card is set up to connect to the Internet as required by your Internet service provider. You may only need to change your 'location' back to one of your saved settings.
Perform a 'hard reset' by pressing and holding the reset button on your AirPort base. This button is located in different areas depending on the model, but it is a small button that you need to push with a pencil tip or paper clip. Be sure to hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds or until the LED light starts to flash.
Reconnect your computer to the base station with an Ethernet cord and reconfigure your wireless network. Use the AirPort Setup Assistant, which is located in the 'Utilities' subsection of your 'Applications' folder, to set up your AirPort base station. You may need to refer to the account information provided to you by your ISP.
Check to be sure that your AirPort card is installed correctly. The card will most likely only be a problem if you're using an older Mac that didn't come with the card already installed. Be sure to turn off and unplug the computer before you open it up to check the card.

How to Roast a CoworkerIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
Structure your roast speech around a particular event that the coworker is tied to; instruct the others participating in your roast to do the same. Use the coworker's birthday, anniversary, retirement or promotion for humor fodder (e.g., a retirement roast is perfect for jokes about aging; a promotion roast would call for jokes about poor workmanship).
Keep speech length at around 5 minutes, so all who wish to speak can do so without boring the audience. Avoid engaging in jokes and put-downs that are too harsh or are not directly related to the occasion at hand.
Include characteristics, traits and idiosyncrasies of the honoree, such as the honoree's style of dress, habits, personality quirks and communication style. Avoid subjects pertaining to family dysfunction, physical or emotional handicaps or romantic/sexual relationships.
Set up for the festivities. Arrange the podium and seating in a U formation, with all the seating facing the podium, which is at the center. Provide a microphone at the podium.

How to Create a Subscription Web SiteIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Create a Web-hosting account. Find a Web host that allows installation of third-party software. Hosting of this variety can be found for about $4 per month as of August 2010 (see reference 2).
Install the content management system (CMS) to manage the website's content. The Web host likely offers two or three different packages as part of its hosting plan. Common open-source choices are Drupal, Joomla and Mambo (see reference 1). These packages are installed through a point-and-click interface from the hosting control panel. Installation and configuration takes less than five minutes to complete.
Customize the CMS installation. Set user permissions to allow registered and anonymous user access. Apply a design theme to set the look and feel of the website, and upload the custom graphics that will be used. All of these are accomplished from the CMS admin control panel. Each item has its own heading to configure that option. Click the heading, set the option and select 'save' when done to apply the new setting.
Create the website content. This includes the written and graphical content. The CMS includes a content editor as part of the program, so content can be created directly in the CMS. Another part of creating content in a CMS is assigning who is able to access that content. As pages are created, assign a permission level of 'registered' or 'anonymous.' Content set to 'registered' is available only to subscribers. The setting is a drop-down box located at the bottom of the content creation editor. Choose the access level, and then click 'save' to apply the permissions.
Set up a payment processing account. The payment processor will handle billing the customer through credit card or alternative means, then deposit that money into your account after subtracting the processing fees. Popular choices for small businesses are PayPal and Google, but other options also exist (see reference 3). Do your homework to find the best mix of processing fees and value-added services offered by the payment processor.
Test the website thoroughly before deployment. Nothing annoys paying customers like not being able to get what they paid for. Test every functional aspect of the website before going live. Once confirmed operational, the site is ready to be launched.
