The Kellogg's-owned Famos Amos Chocolate chip cookie has been around for decades. Rumor has it, that is was inspired by a home made, family recipe.
I have had the privilage of eating a Famos Amos chocolate chip cookie quite a few times. There are a lot of pros and cons to this popular made in the USA snack food. One of the cons I'd say is that, while tasty, the Famous Amos chocolate chip cookie does not taste like a recipe my mother would have made.
Not that my mom was Juilia Child, but I do know what a chocolate chip cookie made from scratch tastes like.
There is a certain rich, freshness to a homemade chocolate chip cookie. They have that wonderful fresh, sweet, smell. The are so wonderfully rich that eat the first few too fast and you need to take a break and let the sweetness settle
They often so soft and gooey. Just pull apart a fresh baked cookie and watch the warm chips stretch apart so beautifully.
Plus, home made cookies seem to have that certain secondary flavor or oven-baked aftertaste to them that is so pleasing. Think a sweet toastiness that lingers a bit after you've had a cookie or two.
Famous Amos does not have any of these qualities. While it is a pretty good cookie, it lacks that homemade freshness. They are hard and offer a lot of crumbs when you bite into one. I don't sense any family recipe at all, rather, they taste a lot like the mass produced Chips Ahoy cookie. A great cookie by the way, just no family recipe flavor.
With that in mind, I can't say all bad things about Kellogg's Famous Amos cookie. Kelloggs still puts out a good snack food. I wrote a review on the topic on Squidoo and linked it below. Check it out if you get a chance.

If you want to create faster documents on Microsoft Word you might want to try printing while in the "Print in Draft" mode.
I have to admit that I have not scientifically measured whether Print in Draft mode works when it comes to speeding up process of printing out MS Word documents. I haven't measured the speed on a stop watch or taken great care to log in my printer and PC's performance while printing in this mode.
I also have to admit, that I can't say that I have scientifically measured how much ink the Print In Draft mode has saved me. I have a hard time telling if I am saving ink at all. Yes, it is reported throughout the internet that Print in Draft will cause your computer to use less toner / ink and, hence, save you money.
Have you tried it?

I've got tons of articles on the web. While I am not an SEO genius, I have tried out a number of sites and do manage to scratch a few pennies a day :-) If you have any questions, let me know. Please also read some of my other TurtleDog posts if you get a chance.
If you want to take out the USB drive from your computer you can simply take it out. People do it all the time without any physical harm to the computer port or the drive itself. I do not recommend simply taking it out though. While it is true that I have pulled it out many times myself without incident, I have heard other horror stories of lost data.
Lost data seems to be by far the biggest complaint. It seems as though it can take a while for your system to write data between then USB drive and your computer. If you don't put it in the "safe" mode there is a chance that things haven't finished "writing" and you'll lose your saved information.

I thought I would do a very brief article on my experience with SheToldMe since the Google algorithm change (aka Panda) that took place in 2011.
At least as of the date of this post, a lot of my Adsense earnings were reduced since the change. In some cases I am now only making pennies on sites where I was making dollars prior to the changes.
Some sites though have held up pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my SheToldMe account is still earning some Adsense revenue. I don't think the earnings are quite as consistent as before, but the overall earnings are about the same. Prior to Google's changes I was making a small amount every day. Since the changes, I might not make something every single day, but when I do get paid, I am seeing enough income to make up for the days when there are little to no earnings. That might not have anything to do with the changes Google made though. It could just be the ebb and flow of traffic. Regardless, I'm still making money.
I am still seeing a decent amount of traffic directed from She Told Me to my other posts on different sites as well. This is exactly what I hoped for with SheTold Me. It is a great site for easily bookmarking / backlinking and driving traffic to other sites.
Overall, I am pleased that She Told Me seems to be holding up fine in spite of the recent changes. At least with regards to my account.

Add commas to Excel cells when you want to separate zero's to make numbers easier to read. These commas are commonly referred to as thousand-separators.
When you add commas (aka thousand separators) to Excel cells, you will make it a lot easier for people to understand the value of the numbers. For example 10,000,000,000 is a lot easier to read than 10000000000.
Basically, adding commas to Excel is real easy. It is just a simple cell - number format.

Do your labels keep falling off? I recently saw a label coming unstuck to a package I wanted to mail. I pushed the label down with my hand and tried to rub it back on but it kept popping back up.
The problem I was having was the age of my labels. Some of the labels were over a year old and after a year's time certain adhesives can begin to lose their strength. They simply won't stick as well.
I was actually able to remedy all of these problems. I started to purchase label protection sheets. These are easy to use and cover up labels for better adhesion and protection.
I wrote an article on the topic. If you want to learn more about label protection sheets please check out the article I have linked below.

I have had labels get rained on and smear a bit. I have also seen them get dinged and scratched from handling. Now some of them keep falling off.The labels I was using are made from a standard adhesive. Nothing special, but good enough for applying address labels to cardboard, Tyvex and paper packaging for postage.
