Computer Security Tips
by Syd TashInternet Safety, Then & Now
Back in the “old” days of the Internet, some 5 – 7 years ago, we worried a lot less about viruses, worms, trojans, etc. One of the reasons for this complacency was that most of us used a slow, pokey dial-up connection. It meant our computer was only connected for relatively brief periods, and it took forever to download anything.
Today, with many people using an always-on, high-speed or broadband connection, things are very different. Your computer is connected to the Internet every minute that it is on. Malware is a lot more dangerous and sophisticated than it was just a year or two ago. You must make the effort to protect your computer from these threats, by installing proper security software.
Do not be intimidated by this. It is not difficult. Once everything is installed and running, it takes just a few minutes a day to keep everything up to date, and to keep your computer safe.
Your computer’s safety and security are not just your concern. If your PC becomes infected, it could affect or attack any of the other 600 million computers connected to the Internet. So each of us has a public responsibility, even duty, to keep our computers clean and protected. Not to mention the time, money and frustration you will save by avoiding problems.
If you have a high-speed connection, another thing you can do is to call your ISP and ask them to help you set up a manual connection. This means you will have to click on an icon on your Desktop to connect to the Internet, and another icon, probably in the Notification area (System Tray) to disconnect. A small inconvenience, perhaps, but your connection will be on only when you need it. And most important, you will know and be more aware of it when it is active.

With the potential to fight infections, soothe pain, and ease autism, a sweet melody can be strong medicine. Traditional healers have used songs and drumming for centuries. "We're simply rediscovering what they always knew---that music, through its profound effect on mind and body, can be a potent way to help people get well," says Northridge music therapist Ron Borczon.

Trade Shows
by Bob OsgoodbyTrade Shows are a great way to meet prospective clients. At first, it seems like a "walk in the park", and they can be a lot of fun. Many of the visitors to the show are there to see what is being offered, and to them it is more of a holiday than work.
If you are there to show your wares, it is work. Don't confuse your role as a vendor with that of the visitor. You must be there before the exhibits open to ensure your booth is set up properly, and have coverage at your booth until the exhibits close for the day. Trying to do it alone, is at best, a difficult proposition. There will be times when you must leave the booth, and if it is unattended, you may be missing prospective clients.
Let's assume you have all the "goodies" you should have such as business cards, brochures, signs, and free samples. I'm not going to cover that, as it will be different for each business.
As you walk about the exhibit hall, you will see some booths where there are crowds of people, and others where the exhibitors are trying to stay awake. What is drawing the crowds to one booth while the others are dying on the vine?
Giveaways are nice, but they usually pick them up and are gone. You want something, which will make them hang around a little, so you can talk with them.
Let me give you a couple of examples. One vendor puts up a sign "Free Return Address Labels" in front of his booth, with a computer and printer. Visitors can enter their information on the computer for their labels, and they are printed right away. There is usually a line in front of this booth, waiting to get their labels. There is also a guest book, which includes their contact information. This vendor has done two things. First he got the opportunity to mingle with the people waiting in line to make his pitch, and secondly got their contact information for follow up.
Another vendor puts some chairs and a small coffee table in a conspicuous position. People walking about get tired - their feet start to hurt, and they will gravitate to an unoccupied chair. Not only will they see promotional material on the coffee table, but it also gives you an opportunity to sit and talk with them.
One of the busiest booths I ever saw was at the "Artigras" Exhibit in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. An artist from Michigan had her wares displayed in her booth, and was sitting out front doing free caricatures. She had the line of people waiting, weave in and about her display in the booth, and many people bought something while waiting.
Which brings us to the reason you are there. You are there to promote your business or sell your wares. In order to do this, you must attract people to your booth.
There are many "attention getting" devices that can be used, but make sure the one you use allows you to interact with your visitors.

Quote of the Day
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing.
They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and
simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these."- Susan B. Anthony, Women's Rights Advocate
A Little Humor for the Weekend
A New Kind of Car
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Two guys sat down for lunch in the office cafeteria.
"Hey, whatever happened to Pete in payroll?"one asked.
"He got this harebrained notion he was going to build a new kind of car," his co-worker replied.
"How was he going to do it?"
"He took an engine from a Pontiac, tires from a Chevy, seats from a Lincoln, hubcaps from Caddy and, well, you get the idea."
"So what did he end up with?"
"Ten years to life."

A new young blonde bride calls her mother in tears. She sobs, "Robert doesn't appreciate what I do for him." "Now, now," her mother comforted, "I am sure it was all just a misunderstanding." "No, mother," the young woman laments. "I bought a frozen turkey loaf and he yelled at me about the price."
"Well, that is being miserly," the mother agreed, "those turkey rolls are only a few dollars." The girl continued, "No, mother it wasn't the price of the turkey roll, it was the airplane ticket." The mother asked, "Airplane ticket? What in the world did you need an airplane ticket for?"
"Well mom," she said, "when I went to fix it, I looked at the directions on the back and it said, 'PREPARE FROM A FROZEN STATE,' so I flew to Alaska."

A young woman wasn't feeling well, and asked one her co-workers to recommend a physician.
"I know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred dollars for the first visit, and one hundred dollars for each one after that."
The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little money, cheerily announced.
"I'm back!"
Not fooled for a second, the doctor quickly examined her and said, "Very good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit."

I rear ended a car this morning...
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said "I am NOT Happy!"
So I said, "Well, which one ARE you then?"
That's how the fight started...

Motivational Tip For The Day
by Jan TincherIf you were to take a look at your own beliefs through someone else's eyes, what would you see?
If you don't like what you see, take the initiative and change your beliefs. With that new vision in your mind, walk straighter, walk taller, speak smoothly, consistently, intelligently.
Wait a week and look again. I'll bet you are happier with the picture you now have, the one with your new beliefs.
An article that will help is: Do You Want To Change Your Belief Pattern? You can find it here: [Http://www.tameyourbrain.com/beliefpattern.htm]
