			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have been testing the new download from <a href="http://totalpchealth.com/download.php">Total PC Health</a> and so far it looks like quite an awesome product.</p>
<p>The latest version just available is 3.0 and it&#8217;s got a ton of excellent features. You get the Registry cleaner which is the core of the product, but it also includes three other scans. These are a driver scan, process scan and privacy scan.</p>
<p>Each of the scans can be performed individually or as a whole. The efficiency of the product is great and you can complete the full scan in less than 2 minutes. It uncovered many new errors and out-of-date drivers on our test PC. We were happy to quickly fix and see the performance gains.</p>
<p>Overall there was a noticeable boost in performance. Our test PC wasn&#8217;t too bad to start off with, so I was pleased with the boost. The coolest thing was being able to shred the privacy data that it uncovered. Really helps in covering your tracks and keeping secure.</p>
<p>An excellent product and we will post a full review soon. Check it out!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had to get  graphic files   published or DVD artwork for <a href="http://www.dvdduplicationaustin.com/frequently-asked-questions" target="_blank">dvd duplication</a> project, sent  that artwork to the pressman only to have a series of emails where what always  printed   for you on your desktop printer &#8211; isn&#8217;t enough on their end? You don&#8217;t really get it, why can&#8217;t the professionals just make it work &#8211; they are the professionals after all.</p>
<p> Interestingly, this happens often.   Its frustrating to all concerned. But after all you&#8217;ve done all the hard work with the design, or you&#8217;ve paid someone to do the design, why is it so hard?  Computers are supposed to make life easier and cheaper and  this sure ain&#8217;t easy. </p>
<p><strong>Can you make it stop?</strong></p>
<p>First, its significant to note that  making artwork  for the web or designing  for wet ink  to hit   dry paper are two different things. It may not look that way to your eyes but the data contained in the files is different .The purpose of these two are mutually exclusive.</p>
<p>To be  good   for a website, a graphic has to contain as little information as possible in order to load quickly.</p>
<p>To be  good   for printing, a graphic has to contain massive amounts of information or instructions to print in color and clarity.</p>
<p>If you can at least determine if you or your designer understands the difference between the two processes, then you can sidestep a lot of frustration.  With the explosion of web design, more and more graphic designers don&#8217;t know to set up their files differently for paper printing. </p>
<p><strong>How to determine if you understand what you need to provide to meet the demands of printing on paper.</strong></p>
<p><strong>DPI</strong> &#8211; Do you know what dpi or &#8220;dots per inch&#8221; means? The  image file  ideally   should be 300 dots per inch. Taking a 72 dpi image and just changing the number in the image specifications from 72 to 300 isn&#8217;t going to change the dpi.</p>
<p><strong>Fonts</strong> &#8211;  All those cool fonts, do you have them?  Can you put  them all into a folder to present with your artwork? Fonts get show up on a computer screen but when the same file goes to a high-end printer or press,  a font is a small piece of code that contains detailed instructions on how to shape those letters or titles as you like them and to match how they appear on your screen. </p>
<p><strong>Images</strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;re using links to images instead of embedding images within a file, then you must include those with the graphics file. When you send out artwork for someone else to print, you need to give them all the information.</p>
<p><strong>Bleed</strong> &#8211; This isn&#8217;t a hospital, its a term for where the image extends beyond where the paper is trimmed so that when its trimmed it appears like your image has indeed printed to the edge.  Making your image larger isn&#8217;t the same a bleed, you need to include some extra over the trimline image that you have no intention of showing.  It is a critical factor in paper printing since usually there are multiple other projects on the press in addition to yours. Things are printed on large single sheets, one side at a time and then cut down to the size of your ad, postcard, CD booklet and folded or stapled if needed.</p>
<p>If you have items that need printing either for your advertising, <a href="http://www.cdduplicationaustin.com/short-run-cd-duplication/" target="_blank">CD duplication</a> project, poster, brochure, postcards or book, contact a <a href="http://www.printconsulting.info/quote-request" target="_blank">print consultant</a> at http://www.printconsulting.info.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">If you are a teacher who&rsquo;s responsible for a bunch of students submitting their printed work, such as their class assignments, their <a href="http://www.book4u.com.au/">school yearbooks</a>, their journals, and so on, then you would very well appreciate the difficulties involved in getting such jobs done.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The problem mainly is of getting all the students to work together.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The traditional way is to take individual submissions from students, but that takes a horribly large amount of time in terms of manual checking and revision submissions.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">It might very well happen that teachers have to rush and accept whatever they get and do with a low quality job.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">Maybe that&rsquo;s the reason why a lot of teachers are getting interested in <a href="http://www.book4u.com.au/">Book4U</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">You have a great number of plus points with this.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">We shall briefly see a few of them.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The finished product looks quite smart and as 	though it is expertly accomplished.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">You can be sure there aren&rsquo;t any inferior inputs here; everything is just as you have checked and got corrected.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The number of mistakes for you to change will be quite 	minimal.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The teacher-student interactive platform that Book4U provides you with is really helpful.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">You can check individual submissions as they are done and send them back for as many revisions as you want.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">One more thing is that you don&rsquo;t have to 	wait till the nth hour to finish the job.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">Since you are able to communicate with the students all the time, you know exactly what&rsquo;s happening and all last minute panic is completely avoided.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The 	students get a chance to collaborate better among themselves and 	with you, their teacher.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">They don&rsquo;t have to wait if they are seeking a quick answer to something.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">This helps speed up the work and you can ensure that you are getting what you are looking for.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">Since you are able to track individual work of your students over a considerable period of time, you can also evaluate your students&rsquo; performance.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">A hardcopy is very simple to get and it can be sent to 	wherever you want.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">There is a price for the printing Book4U does, but it is much cheaper than what anyone else might charge you.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">Since these are mostly school-related publications, the books won&rsquo;t have a lot of pages.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 1.27cm;margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">The prices are according to the number of pages, which makes it quite a feasible option.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">So, this time when you have a printing requirement like a <a href="http://www.book4u.com.au/">school yearbook</a>, take a closer look at Book4U.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">This service will take your presentations several notches higher and you will see that you are completing your work before time.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;line-height: 100%">&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, apparently these things are selling like crazy. Personally I think they are a tad overrated, but that doesn&#8217;t matter, because Apple is killing it with the sales. In just under 2 months, Apple has already sold 2 million of the units.</p>
<p>Apple actually cleared 1,000,000 iPads within the first 28 days. It looks like the hype over their products is still going strong.</p>
<p>So do you have an iPad yet?</p>
