    Friday, November 19 2004 @ 06:34 AM EST
    Contributed by: Admin

    General NewsSure, your momma told you not to brag, but even Mom would approve of letting the world know what you do best ... and that you're good at it. So, whether you're a company, a consultant, or an employee (when it comes to “PR”, an “employee” is really just a consultant with primarily internal client), come and learn (a) the concept and (b) the basic principles of getting your name out.

    Topics will include:

    • Paid Advertising vs. Free Public Relations
    • How To Get Advertisers To pay you
    • and Positioning Yourself as 'The Expert's Expert'
    • How To Create PR when You Can't (or Hate to) Write.”

    Meetings will be on December 6 in NYC and December 7 in CT. As usual we will have good food, good talk, and good networking.

    CT and NYC Meeting: JPEGs, Viruses and Your System's Security Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
    Monday, October 25 2004 @ 04:17 PM EDT
    Contributed by: Admin

    General NewsDinner with talk given by:
    Edward J. Weinberg, RHCE
    In NYC Monday, 11/8/04
    In CT Tuesday, 11/9/04

    • How do you make your computer safe?
    • What operating systems are susceptible?
    • What doesn't Microsoft do to remove or fix all the problem libraries?
    • Why do the virus writers want to get into your computer?
    Recently Microsoft released a critical security bulletin about a buffer overflow in JPEG image files which could allow code execution. This affects some Microsoft operating systems and some software. Ed Weinberg found that you might not get rid all the problems by just applying the updates that MS has available.

    He will discus which systems are vulnerable and how to see if you have immunized your systems.

    This is a must for anyone who uses Microsoft software.

    Join us for dinner, talk, and as always, good networking.

    What Are You Goals for 2004? Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
    Thursday, January 29 2004 @ 12:51 PM EST
    Contributed by: spineman

    MotovationGoals are not resolutions. Everyone makes resolutions and no one keeps them. Goals are specific desires that you want to accomplish. They can be anything from health and well being to financial, social and play goals. Whatever goal you have, there are specific steps that when employed greatly increase the likelihood of you reaching your goal.

    1. Define what your goal is. Be specific. If you want to lose weight how much weight? If you want to earn more money how much. If you said “I want to make more money this year” I could hand you a one dollar bill and that would be more money. If your goal is be more social what does that mean for you?

    2. When will you reach this goal? Again be specific. This year, next month, sometime is not specific. What month what day what time of day will you reach your goal by. This gives your mind a target to shoot for. When you take a trip you have a destination in mind an address that you want to get to. If you did not have a specific address how are you going to get there? Set a realistic time frame so that you can reasonable achieve your goal. If your goal is to lose 50 pounds don’t set the goal for the end of the month. Most likely you will be disappointed,

    3. Action steps. How are you going to reach this goal? Before anything happens someone or something must move. You must clearly define what it is that you are going to do to reach this goal. Sitting cross legged in a tree and playing the flute in Tibet will not get you there. You must engage in certain action steps in order to attain your goals. If weight is what you want to lose how are you going to do it? Exercise? What kind? Diet? What kind? The more details that are outlined the better results you will get.

    4. See the goal. Once you have followed these 3 easy steps the final aspect is to see the goal. Yes, see the goal both in your mind but also in front of you on paper. Tape it up on the mirror in the bathroom that way you see it when you wake up in the morning and it’s the last thing you see before going to bed at night. Repetition is important feed your mind and subconscious daily. The more you see it the more you are reminded to stay disciplined. Finally tell people about you goal. Now that you have written it out on paper it is real. Telling your friends and family holds you accountable.

    Goals are great ways to achieve whatever it is that you want. Make 2004 a great year!

    Remember;
    "You have a gold mine when you have a goal mind."
