Should You be a "Jack of all trades" or a Specialist?
By Stephen Bucaro
A "jack of all trades" is an individual who is capable of accomplishing tasks in a wide range
of disciplines. For example, when I was an Electronics Engineer, I would design the electronics,
lay out the printed circuit board, design the mechanical components, and launch the product
into production. I envied the specialists because they just did their one little thing,
but they were highly paid and respected as experts.
In your own career, which is the best way to go? Should you be a "jack of all trades" or a
specialist? In this article, you'll learn the advantages and disadvantages of each approach,
and techniques to help you succeed in whichever path you take.
Employers don't want a "jack of all trades" or a specialist, they want a "specialist of all
trades". They want someone who is expert in everything. Some companies will run the same job
ad, seeking this super-human, for years. If they could find this "specialist of all trades",
no matter how high the salary, they would save a ton of money by firing the rest of their staff.

Planning Special Events
by Heidi Richards
If you are in the Event Planning Business the strategies needed to make an event memorable and
profitable are extremely important. They require a certain amount of planning and a whole lot
of commitment to achieve the ultimate goal: Having a Great Event with just the right number of
attendees! An event, which leads to even more success, referrals, more business, and most likely
more people committed to the project in the future.
A special event is an event with a specific purpose, such as a special occasion (celebration of
a milestone, conference, party, awards ceremonies, fairs). They are different from ongoing programs.
Strategies for Success:
1. If a company or host has hired you, they have already determined that the purpose of the event
is important enough to warrant the expense and time necessary to put it on. If you are a volunteer
leader, this must be the first step in determining whether or not to pursue the idea.

Create Your Own Super Control Panel
By Stephen Bucaro
The problem with the old Control Panel is that there are too many unnecessary utilities
that we never use. If we locate the utility we need, we still have to figure out which
tab contains the control we need. Let's design our own Super Control Panel that contains
only the utilities we need, identifies them logically, and takes us directly to the
tab we need.
First, create a new folder anywhere on your hard drive and name it "Super Control Panel"
or whatever you please. Drag-and-drop the folder on the [Start] button. This creates
a Start menu icon for the folder. Next, open the folder and add shortcuts to the
Control Panel utilities you might actually use.
For example, I frequently use the "Display" utility to increase my display resolution
so that I can "screen capture" a large image. Then, I decrease it back to the lower
resolution so I can read text more easily. Therefore, in my "Super Control Panel"
I will create a shortcut to the "Display" utility's "Settings" tab. I'll step you
though this first one to demonstrate how easy it is.

How to Disable the Browser Back Button
By Stephen Bucaro
One of the most common questions asked about Web coding is "how do I disable the
browser Back button". Why anyone would want to annoy their Web site's visitors
by taking control away from them is another question. Let's assume that you have
a legitimate reason for disabling the back button. Maybe you need to restrain
the user within a multi-page form. In this article, I show you how to disable
the browser's Back button with a only few lines of Java Script code.
In this article I show you how to restrain the user within a three-page Web site.
When the user tries to leave via the browsers Back button, the first page that the
user visited when they arrived at the Web site is reloaded.
The Back and Forward buttons are related to the browser's history object. As the
user surfs the Web, the history object maintains a list of the URLs they visited.
For security reasons, there is very little you can do with the history object, for
example you can't examine the URL's of the previous websites that the user visited.
