web information and tips

I was reminded this week that microsoft.com has a microsoft office training site. You might find this useful for learning excel, powerpoint, and more! Also available in the sidebar are templates for calendars and planners and much more.

Have you entered to win HGTV's dream home this year. You can enter online once a day until Feb 17th. Someone has to win, so it might as well be you (or me!) Of course, I could not afford to pay the taxes on it if I did win, but we can worry about that later. You can tour the home online at HGTV.com

You never know when you might need this, but here are the top 1000 most common words in the English vocabulary at about.com

I found this blogsite with advice for "Northerners Moving to the South" at tommcmahan.net - Yes, we can be a different breed, I guess.

For all of you teachers in the family, I found this website of Mrs. Renz' 4th grade Class Web Site, from the Vern Patrick Elementary School in Redmond, Oregon. Maybe this will give you some ideas you can choose.

A new movie was released recently for church's to show, similar to the way the "Left Behind" movies were done, only now this one will be released in theaters this week. It was originally titled "Beyond the Gates of Splendor" and is being released as "End of the Spear". Based on the true story of the missionaries to the Auca Indians who were killed in the mid 1950's, the story was written by the son of Nate Saint, Steve Saint, who moved back to the jungle in the late 1990's. You can visit the website for the movie and click on the link "PATH OF THE SPEAR" at www.endofthespear.com to read the timeline of history from the 1940's to the present. I will look forward to seeing this when the DVD becomes available.
