September 2007
I can't believe it's September already! It seems that just overnight the leaves turned gold, and we started checking the weather forecasts for night frost warnings. Although my zucchini is still having a heyday (no surprise), the rest of the garden is looking tired - almost time to tuck it in again for the winter.
But even if the garden is tired, a lot of us feel energized and ready go again in the fall. I guess it must be those "back-to-school", "start-fresh" memories! And speaking of back-to-school, if you're thinking of upgrading your Microsoft Office skills this fall, please keep us mind. Our fast-track certificate courses can raise your proficiency level from Introductory to Intermediate in just 3-5 hours!
And when it's time for recess, don't forget the Bright Ideas Zone.
Back to school indeed!

Thanks to Heather Kyle of Swanky Shanks for this great question!
A right-click is almost always used to bring up a pop-up menu. The items on the menu will be "context-sensitive", meaning that they will apply specifically to the item you clicked on, and will vary depending on where you right-clicked.
For example, if you right-click on a file in a file list, you'll get a popup menu that offers to let you open, edit, print, or delete the file, and so on. Right-clicking in a Word document pops up a menu that lets you change the font or format the paragraph, among other options. Right-clicking on your Windows desktop pops up a menu that lets you work with your desktop icons, or change your display properties.
If you accidentally right-click, and an unwanted menu pops up, you can close the menu by left-clicking somewhere else, or else by pressing the Esc key (in the top left corner of your keyboard).

We all know how frustrating it is to get 30 emails a day promising to enlarge a certain body part (particularly when we don't even possess one)! You wouldn't know it by your Inbox, but there are actually stringent anti-spam guidelines in place - more stringent, in fact, than the current federal and provincial privacy legislation.
So what the heck can you do about it?

Patty Shortreed of Claim Your Voice, Claim Your Power recommends Crush Restaurant and Lounge. It's newly renovated, very sleek, and the food is great.

Photo of the Month: Wise and Wary
This Great Gray Owl lives in the vicinity of our acreage. He's very hard to catch with the camera, and I have many blurred photos of him to prove it. This photo is courtesy of Sylvain Loubert, who is clearly (no pun intended) a better photographer than I am!
