How to Wear Your Bra
We know you know that bras are in, but you're still hesitant and not sure how to wear them, and you're absolutely right. First, you must have the body to wear them, and then the confidence to go out half naked.
You can try cropped tops as a first step and see how you feel, or choose the ones that are designed to be worn as tops. You can find them in leather, embroidered or with sequins. You can also semi- cover them with a kimono or a long open button shirt.
Bras are best worn with high waisted pants, leggings, or a pencil skirt… Wear them with shorts if you're going to the beach or on a boat.
If you're still doubting it, designers made it easier. Try your favorite bra over your shirt.
Tip: Forget the sheer bras and keep them under your clothes. Remember, if you're going out with your bra, attitude is everything! Stay away from the sexy look (unless you're in the bedroom), and try the more sporty edgy styles. Choose the ones that are a little wide.

A school district in Lake Stevens, Washington State, has suspended two third-graders after finding sexually explicit images on a district computer and shared them with classmates.
Austin Maxwell, the stepfather of one of the students suspended who allegedly typed in the search term that brought up the controversial result, told KING 5 he was furious, but doesn't blame his child.
According to school administrators, somehow software designed to prevent students for viewing inappropriate materials failed to block it from happening. District officials sent an email home to parents suspending all student computer use until they discover and fix the problem.
Problems, slip-ups, and mistakes, are bound to happen in an imperfect world run by imperfect people; it's just what it is to be human. As a parent, Maxwell wondered: "Is it a safe place for her [his daughter] to go back to?"
Is that a valid question to ask? It is certainly horrifying for a kid in the third grade to witness pornographic images. You're robbing the child of innocence. Children seeing images of the pornographic nature can lead to obvious problems.
It would be one thing if the kid had other behavioral problems that were evident from other things going on. But in this case it seems like all involved recognize that this little girl was not the instigator and was not exhibiting some kind of deviant behaviors at the school. And yet the school authorities saw it appropriate in suspending.
What good is anyone doing expelling these students? Basically it ends up punishing them for being a victim at the school. Third grade students don't understand what they're sharing. To them it's gross and just unbelievable, or whatever, and so they share it. It seems to me adults in the room and in the position of leadership, you've got do deal with the situation using common sense instead of knee-jerk-reactions. We shouldn't be focused into reacting unrealistically like other news stories of late that suspended the student who makes his hand into a gun pointing his finger, or the kid who has an "imaginary" supper weapon, or the kid who brought to school his Pop-Tart gun. In these stories as with this one, we as a society have lost the opportunity of a valuable teachable moment.
If students are being punished in this case for a computer glitch, a problem with security designed to keep them safe, then isn't the school district not only liable but responsible for the physiological trauma if any and open to punishment themselves? It makes no sense to punish the student for the PC lines we draw, if those same efforts also eliminate nurturing an education in common sense.
Do we as a modern society need to regulate sex? We are not talking about prostitution here. All though, when government gets involved to a point to suggest a type of contract between partners who are about to have sex…then all that is missing is a price, and a list of expected responsibilities of each partner to cover every eventualities in the act.
California legislators are proposing new regulations, in regulating casual sex.
While the bill appears to be motivated by noble intentions; we can't regulate all of society by good intentions alone, without also taking into account results, and unintended consequences with said regulations.
From Breitbart News:
SB 967, amended last week by state Sen. Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), would mandate that college students obtain "an affirmative, unambiguous, and conscious decision by each participant to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity."
Can we for the sake of simpler terms and greater understanding just call it—A weekend marriage license?
the slippery slope of such regulations are that such bills of this type could open the door to the prosecution of a partner for rape, if the other partner regrets having sex with them the next day, even though they had no problem with it before or during the act. It's an attempt to control the upswing of college rape claims. But because there is also a problem with underage partying and drinking, activities that could also lead to lowered inhabitation, or even taking advantage of people under the influence / unwanted sexual encounter / rape, why wouldn't there be any needs of farther regulating the laws and activities already on the books pertaining to underage drinking and the supply of alcohol to people under the age?
Why you ask? Because alcohol makes people do stupid stuff!
Impaired people make mistakes, doing all sorts of stupid stuff; most of all impaired people aren't in a position in making good judgments. Thus escalating, by astronomical odds the likelihood of a life changing event to take place in their lives.
I'm not in support of anyone taking advantage of another person sexually, under any circumstances. But most of all we shouldn't also turn the table on true rape by painting with a broad brush, and making someone's conscience regrets the new future rape case.
If we need to go down that road as a society of legislation and creating what simply would become a "Weekend Marriage License" type of contract between sexual partners. Does that also mean that we need new and expanded Monday morning divorce court to dissolve said contracts? Maybe for a fee / new tax collected? All in the name of public safety of course, and how is that all that different from legal prostitution. Obtain the proper licensing, and all is good. Refuse to obtain said licensing, signed sealed and delivered by all parties, you become a sexual predator / rapist.
Look let's not make too light of a serious subject, let's not exaggerate to the level of being absurd. But let's not allow the government to regulate our lived to that level of absurdity either.
It just seems to me that if kids in college; many of whom had never had to live on their own before as adults, are then also expected to write their own house rules, to deal with the pressures and demands of higher learning, and recreational use of drugs, alcohol or even casual sex; if society feels the need of playing the part of parent to protect them from all of that? Then we need to regulate every aspect of the college student's life and recreation in the same name of safety, right? At what point do we let our children grow-up, and allowed to develop into outstanding adults, to develop the attitudes of being able to be independent people, instead of embracing the helplessness existence of victimhood?
A society without boundaries has no value. But a society with too many boundaries, or regulations, suffers paralyzes, and stagnates.
There is no real surprise then that all good judgments will come from experiences. And all of that comes from individual bad judgments. Government can't regulate people from entertaining thoughts, good or bad, or acting on them. Creating a so-called weekend marriage licenses doesn't remove risks, but promotes distrust between the genders, and relationships in people's lives.
I'm just not sure that its governments job in becoming society's regulatory condom, protecting it from that unwanted transmitted disease which is government regulation between the sheets.

You don't have to be rich to live a rich life.
Once again it is the time in the seasons is to start getting ready for bathing-suits and the beach, by shedding those hibernation pounds in a hurry. After all the call of the wild is announcing to everyone it's time to strut across the sands of those local beaches in your new swim-suits. Of course the number one problem with our human biological clocks are that our body's pounds have increased slowly over the long fall and winter months, and with the arrival of spring our patience seems to be wearing thin. Partly due to frustration that we've allowed ourselves to gain weight, the other part is that we now see time as our new enemy.
We know in the back of our minds that we shouldn't have gained all that weight…but a few extra pounds doesn't make enough of a significant impact on our mind in calling us to act. Why should we act or take action when we don't feel our health waning, when we don't see any health symptom that screams, "Take some action, your unhealthy and may be damaging your health, or shorting your longevity." Every time I look in the mirror I don't hear my doctor saying, "You should lose weight", as some good advice given to preserve my health. I don't feel food greed nipping at my heals. I see a person who wants to live how they want too, and a person who wants to look like some advertisement. In fact the last time I went to my doctor's office he never mentioned my weight issues. He just quietly raised his eyebrow as I stepped onto the scale then went on doing what doctors do, silently recording what I already know. I have gained weight.
What is it that doctors do? I thought, aren't they supposed prevent disease; heal diseases, besides being upstanding citizens, and community pillars? Aren't they just people willing to my dirty work so I can keep on doing / living the same way I choose too? It is my life, I tell myself while shove onto my doctor the responsibilities of preserving it.
Truth is doctors treat people all too often for health symptoms caused by diseases that people have, created for themselves. Not all illnesses are avoidable, but it is undeniable for the most part that some modern illnesses are avoidable, and some of those are caused by our own doing? Let's face it we live our lives in a vacuum of self-imposed ignorance because we enjoy the things we do, healthy or not? Often times we feel that doctors will find cures to whatever our lifestyles have or will create, hoping on future cures to those feelings of illness and manifestations of illness themselves or those symptoms of potential diseases. So we don't worry about our habits getting in the way of being healthy. The younger we are the less attention to health we have, and sooner than later we are stuck with lifestyle additions that we also claim are the ways we enjoy living our lives. But never has modern medicine ever prevented disease. Just like a Pap smear or any mammogram ever prevented breast and cervical cancer, they help doctors diagnose diseases early. Prostate exams, chest x-rays and annual physical don't prevent disease, they help find it early. Is this the practice of medicine, or a production line peace of mind through testing, building our false impressions that we have little to change; because nothing was found; therefore no real need to change any effects to our lives, or how we chose to live them. Because there is always still time, mortality mocks us in thinking there is time to still change our choices?
Now days we all have access to stats, just as doctors have medical stats and research on the latest studies within the medical industry that points to unhealthy lifestyles as being more costly to treat a variety of preventable health issues? The internet is full of these studies. Like the stats–the costs to Medicare is 50% more every year to treat an obese American compared to one of normal weight. Or the stat that only 20% of medical patients are normal weight. Doctors know that fat produces a variety of hormones, peptides, and enzymes that can have a wide-ranging impact on anyone's health. Overweight people have increased risks of diabetes, dementia, cancer, sexual dysfunction, heart disease and strokes. If just losing weight reduces all of these mentioned diseases from happening to a lot of people, don't doctors then have a responsibility to help society prevent disease, or are they just there to pick-up the pieces to our train wreck lifestyles until humpty dumpty can't be put back together again?
Doctors must have a deep sadness, seeing people waste away their lives while reducing quality of life in fighting some illness / disease of their own making / of their own past choices? Doctors can't choose for us on how we should live. But should doctors also be health consultants? Therefore shouldn't they be educators, offering advice to people, being more in their faces to the effects of health and their patents lifestyle choices? I'm thinking there is some thin-skinned people out there just waiting for the opportunity to then sue the crap out of a doctor. It's kind of like winning life's lottery you know, the hell with the truth behind science being presented to us. How dare you! Because what I would imagine a supper doctor or a supper human hero would look like and act like, is a doctor helping people prevent health issues because of the studies and statistics within the science that prove what they are fully statically aware of.
Doctors aren't super heroes though; sadly they are just managers of decay.
So ask yourself this question; why are those healthcare costs so high? Or is it the greedy of doctors, drug manufactures, or treatment centers and insurance companies who just jack up the prices on the poor old sick people for the sake of profiteering? Or is it you and I who just don't care about health until its withdrawal in our lives, in which case we all then become the greedy consumers struggling to cling onto life even after a life time's worth's of self-abuse, living according to our impression and definitions of what living the good life really is? Ask a 100 people and get 100 different answers. None of which considers quality of life as living a healthy life.
When it comes to healthcare Americans have an addiction to the religion of the healing power of doctors, hoping they would play the part of being the universal saviors of the sick, curing everything and every symptoms of our own self-inflicted lifestyles. Despite of our lofty expectations of doctors, who asks their doctor how can we best avoid illnesses?
Would we listen to our doctor if they insisted that we should lose a few pounds to become healthier, exercise more, stop smoking, and limit our alcohol consumption, stop using or abusing sugar….. Or would we just hear—Blah, Blah, and Blah? Only willing to act if it means we are actually seeing the light at the end of our potential lives, and then only willing to act to avoid or prolong what is 100% unavoidable. Is that quality of life? More than not people would blame those courageous doctors who would tell us to lose weight or anything like that as being educated killjoy's to our enjoyment.
Somehow I'm hearing the song in the back of my mind by the rock band Kansas, All we are is dust in the wind and all of our money doesn't another minute buy.
If Americans would only self-educate to live a healthier lifestyle, and lose those extra pounds by practicing some self-denial, what great heights could we all personally yet achieve, and how much money could we all have, or have to give away to charity's, or leave to our loved ones when we actually do leave our mortal coil behind?
How much more waste could we remove from the treatment of the sick, being able to then treat those who don't have the financial means to seek treatments to illnesses on their own? How much more would medical treatment be available to all, if what is a now being a wasted resource, isn't wasted?
Life is full of choices, both big and small, choices that we make not always knowing the outcome beforehand but evaluating the odds. Shouldn't we then choose more carefully?
It's true that 100% of all of us will die at some point. It is the choices that we make, and at times the smallest of choices that will determine the quality of life we will yet live in all of life's stages going forward.
If we Americans lost some extra weight, most of the healthcare crisis would disappear.
Choosing to eat 30 calories less per meal would total up to about 100 calories per day, some 36,000 calories per year (based on a 2,000 calorie diet those 36,000 fewer calories not eaten would be a total of 18 full days' worth of less food eaten in that year.) think of the impact on the world that a small personal choice could have in providing healthy food to the hungry, or how much money would be left in your pocket? More money in your pockets because of less doctor's visits, less illnesses, and less wasted on excessive food eaten. Think of the everyday impact, not just on those days that you go to the beach sporting a new swim suit.
Whose responsibility is it, to our life, our health, and the expense having to spend providing healthcare for ourselves? We need to stop thinking that the axis that the world spins on runs right through the top of our own heads. Life is all about those smallest of choices that can lead to the biggest of personal impacts—and some of those choices could even shake-up the world?
You don't have to be rich to live a rich life or be able to richly impact another's life beyond their own abilities. You just have to be willing to make that choice.
This is a view of life, about the flu, and the way people should be interacting with other people, from a wayfarer's travel's.
This was supposed to be "good Friday" and there was nothing good about it. The stack of books sat beside me, unused, and uninterested, I could hardly keep my puffy eyes open. Besides my best efforts in providing my body with fluids, vitamin's, and flu and cold meds, the valiant battle raged on within me. This was the time of the year where viral intruders seemed to make their rounds as unwelcome guests they fly just under the radar, passing through half manned defenses like a hot knife through room temperature butter. Perhaps if I didn't push so hard at work, or play so hard after work and on the weekends? But family and kids, deadlines, and the boss's unrealistic expectations….which is the only real justification for my current condition. I reasoned all this to myself as the only real good excuse that I was willing to except at the time.
Flopping myself unceremoniously in my easy chair I glanced over to my stack of books. Reading wasn't going to happen as I waited for my body to gain the upper hand in the battle. My eyes were too puffy and my eyesight was to bleary, watery, and itchy, to give any interest net alone concentration to reading. I wanted to sleep this off. But I had just gotten up from an unusual 12 hour sleep fest. I felt powerless to live life as a normal person, just wanting to do my common everyday things. Instead I was transferred, downgraded, and demoted having to live with this miserable viral intrusion. My only comfort was melting back into my easy chair and wait for the next sneeze to come.
I said out loud, "This wasn't how it was supposed to be." Tossing another crumpled tissue to the pile. This wasn't how my weekend was supposed to be at all. I had plans to do things with the kids, and dinner with friends, all of which now had to be shelved. Somehow I had become an involuntary combatant, a carrier of the enemy, who by his design wanted me to find new victims to commiserate with. The only fight I had left in me, or so I thought, was to reduce my importance and volunteer for a self-imposed quarantine–Somewhat like throwing myself upon the hand-grenade, a sacrificial offering to reduce casualties in my unit.
I knew that in a few days this to will pass. That my inconvenience will be all but forgotten like a snowflake caught in the palm of someone's hand, interesting, beautifully intriguing, and in an instant melted way.
All alone in a quiet room, it's funny how the mind wonders in thoughts uninfluenced by TV or radio, or sounds of music. I started to think how lucky I really was. I know that feeling like crap somehow doesn't seem like the same kind of feeling lucky akin to winning the lotto or…. I allowed a few thoughts in for a moment to entertain some differences in luck and what it is to be lucky.
Comparing our misery to someone else's doesn't seem fair. I could have just washed my hands a few more times, or given less kisses to my kids when they had the sniffles, and misery avoided? But how is that lucky? It's lucky, because my short-lived snowflakes worth of discomfort, is so unlike that permafrost in others people's experience. Like a shell of ice freezing them into a permanent inconvenience, nothing at all like this passing trifle. Their challenging circumstances turn my crumpled mound of tissues into a little insignificant temporary speed bump on life's highway.
Funny how with religious matters people only are interested by answering the question… what's in it for me? I can sacrifice a few hours or one day per week (one or two weeks a year, like on Easter, and Christmas) and expect so much more from God in return?
I have had these kinds of arguments with my TV evangelist before. I admit that they were one-sided arguments at that? No real response from the TV or the evangelist on the other side of the glass. Of course when we feel like crap we expect people to come running to our assistance. Give me the answers to make this go away and the sooner the better. Not just in a while down the road a bit. But like yesterday, now, instantaneously; like every street light turning green in our favor, so the straightaway help running at full speed towards us can get here sooner. It couldn't come fast enough. And that's just to elevate our temporary condition, our snowflakes discomfort.
My TV evangelist says that God longs to help everyone today, or sooner…. In all my reading of the Bible I never heard of any one of the disciples; have to put on hold a mission for God because they were under the weather? So this TV evangelist is speaking a true message then. The disciples were human working for God—so God answers prayers through humans, and wants to help everyone today or sooner?
Image, people like you or I as being answers to someone else's prayers.
It seems that Christians today have the flu. But I never read that flu was a problem back then. There is nothing mentioned about the flu in the bible like, "The spirit bade me to make hast to Corinth," said the apostle Paul, "But the enemy of souls delayed my departure with an insufferable ailment common to man." Apparently that had been edited out. And God's word had bigger fish to fry then to include things like the flu.
To all of the people with the symptoms of fibromyalgia who's days are filled with pain, or those people who never smoked a day in their lives who discovered they have been inexplicably riddled with lung cancer, to the young family who's child needs bone marrow transplant, to the victim of an auto accident who has a crushed spine or nerve-damage that affords them no pain relief, to the person who is addicted with pain-killers, to the 13-year-old girl who has to go back home to an abusive parent, for a single parent struggling with time and money and resources, to the beggar on the street, to the run-away, to the silence of suffering within a marriage gone bad, to those lonely suffering from a personal loss of someone dear to them. These are frozen shell existences that go far beyond my discomfort. It's easy to be fired up in doing something right after one of our yearly visits to church and think in terms of being a Christian. "Hay, I believe in God! So that counts for something", seems to be the common thought. People might even give to charity or that bum on the street as they drive through the intersection after church services. Given a day or two, these professed Christians are ready to step over someone in real need, as they go on their way saying or thinking, "The government has to have some kind of programs to help people like that." In other words…I pay taxes so can't be bothered with stopping to helping out. I gave with my taxes already, I gave at the office and this money is mine!
There must have been people like that, that existed in the bible? Sickness does funny things to people though. It changes everything about a person; we become different people when sick. Did the followers of Christ like Paul in the story that was edited out, (you remember the one; where Paul was on his way to Corinth but, "The enemy of souls delayed my departure with an insufferable ailment"?) Did they have the strange mindsets like we have today? Was everyone confused with the thoughts of different religious practices, and therefore spiritual responsibilities? Is that the modern sickness that ails our life experiences, compared to those of the past?
Being sick with flu I know that my discomfort is temporary, my good times will certainly come sooner than later. Yet we as humans are still at risk with greatest disease of all–being rich with things of insignificance and not truly of eternal value. When Jesus cautioned us about the difficulty of a rich man entering heaven, He seemed to be speaking to all of us in this time, and in this country (The United States of America. Because we claim to be the richest on earth, in God we trust, and consumed totally with greed, even with personal greed of heaven?) Those who are spiritual or go to church to act churchy, to gain heaven for them-selves (the cure for the religious flu) but fail to bring heaven to those that are less fortunate in life than we are. Excusing ourselves from action, people want benefits, privileges, and gifts—but refuse to freely give.
Jesus healed all kinds of sickness and physical malady, healing their bodies so he could also heal their minds and hearts. This is where being a Christian, also believing in being spiritual must also see that the scriptures aren't just stories, but the promise of the scripture lies—not on physical healing, but promise of abundant life and changed mindsets.
It's funny how flawed and transitory our believes are, believing this nation is a Christian nation? Believing in, and wanting "separation of church and state" when it suits us and our beliefs best; all the while expecting our government to have a mothers concern more than we as citizens have for our neighbors and those in need.
If we are spiritual people and believe in going to heaven? Why would we spend more time in preparation to take a trip to an exotic beach, packing the appropriate attire, clothes, swim wear…etc.? Yet with the trip of going to heaven we expect it all–no real need to change ourselves, our attitudes, or our life's mission, and therefore no real effort in making a positive impact or a spiritual one either as we interact with each other in preparation for heaven. To many times we slip into that mindset like having the flu, "Give me the cure and give it to me now! I'll do anything…" But when the symptom subsides and goes away….
We forget the promise of scripture lies—not on physical healing, but of abundant life now and forever through mental healing. Religion is the everyday battle for the mind, not some short-term cure when we should get a religious viral infection from the enemy of the soul.
If you ever thought, "what's happening to our society…why do people act like they do…why are we so violent these days?
It's attitude: as you think, so you become.
What exactly make for a boorish neighbor? Where is the solution? Alas, couldn't a complaint just be an expression of dissatisfaction over some issue that could just as easily then be resolved as two adults? It seems we in modern society are just living a bit too closely to each other these days. Your life style, or mine, seems to be just rubbing people wrongly when the intention was never that. Or because we live too closely to each other we become aware of a neighbor who are a bit hypersensitive to often, or they're real reason to live, is to become an Olympic champion complainer, complaining over little to nothing to you? Everyone has the right to live and let live, until that neighbor, who is happily willing to make an attempt to trample our rights, in the rigged exercise of their own.
Because our new modern homes are on postage stamp size lots that are close enough to lean out of our windows and be able to shake hands with each other. (Not a recommendation or an endorsement to make such an attempt) It can make for some neighborly challenges to say the least. Throwing into the mix of things an Olympic hypersensitive person, whose specialty is complaining, you may have just moved into uncharted territory?
When it comes to noise, what is a frivolous complaint, and what is legitimate? Isn't loud noise loud noise—should it be blaring music, baying hounds, screaming kids, or screaming parents who scream loudly at their kids, those teen-aged drivers who rev their hot rods, or those old men with midlife crisis's that now drive Harley Davison motorcycles, net alone rev them up late at night, or just an oversized flag snapping, crackling, those noises that one would make when the wind is whipping around? None of these are a laughing matters when one needs sleep!
At some point a reasonable grievance, expressed a bit too often, will bread resentments, creating a point where people may start building those social walls to protect themselves from the childish actions and reactions, to those noisy nuisances over just peacefully resolving them. One who causes extreme noise nuisance, the other who is perceived as a complaining noisy nuisance? All of these are nothing but intrusions on what the other person sees as being normal. When we are so close to the problem, it is hard to understand the problem, without also having an open mind to see it from the others point of view. So when is it a reasonable, making attempt to live within our own rights without seeing them trampled by those who are religiously rigged in exercising of their own at our expense?
A recent story had this person complaining, and wondering what to do?
"Our neighbor's unusually large, illuminated American flag that makes so much noise on windy nights that we have to retreat to another bedroom to sleep? He refuses to take it down on even the most blustery nights, and it flaps loudly right outside our second-floor bedroom window. He has let us know that this is politically sensitive to him and I'm sure he would have no qualms about going to the local press if we were to formally complain. There's apparently no town ordinance regarding this. What can we do?"
Your thinking, a loud, noisy, flapping, snapping whipping flag on breezy nights keeping tired, exhausted, physically spent people from their sleep, and a neighbor who is just got an attitude in resolving the issue? Really? It is true–but how would you all handle it? What is reasonable? What is the adult way of resolving it, or is there a resolution, or is the complaint just hypersensitive?
I heard a story once; where a kid kept kicking a football into a neighbor's yard, then when screaming after it early mornings, most, if not every weekend mornings, just to repeat it all over again until parents got up to make breakfast. An annoying alarm clock to say the least. Over the course of a summer this was complained about, one neighbor to the other. These complaints were respectfully given, and ample time in resolving the nuisance was also given. The problem was those social walls as defensive actions were built one brick after the other, separating common sense from common decency. These neighbors hardly spoke with each other afterwards. The social walls, and how dar you talk about my kid that way, separated people for the most part in being able to get along with each other. I would hate to think if the roles would have been reversed, what the reactions would have been?
Slow to anger, these people didn't wish to go to war with their neighbor, and true to form when the summer was over, it stopped! Until the next summer. A year older, and so much stronger, the boy kicked the ball onto the porch and added a loud thud to the screaming, that was also repeated several times each morning. Where was the neighborly respect for other people's property? What would happen if the window would be broken by the ball? What to do, when each side sees the other as crazy?
Well, one day the boy left the ball on the front lawn. After dark the annoyed, went over and retrieved the ball. It would have been easy to keep the ball. But these parents would have just gotten another when the boy complained about not having a ball to kick around. These parents just allowed the boy to rule the roost. So (we will call the annoyed person Mr. X) Mr. X took the ball down into his basement and into his shop, and opened the ball up and filled it with rocks, closing it again careful to re-stitching the ball exactly as it was manufactured. Then he placed the ball back onto the lawn, exactly where it first was. Grandpaw…..excuse me….Mr. X never complained about losing sleep that night.
True to form the boy, ran out of the house on Sunday morning and hauled off and kicked the ball as hard as he could, as he had been doing all summer long. Instead of a thud of the ball crashing into the neighbor's porch, it was ear-piercing screams of pain. Resulting from a broken foot.
From that time on Mr. X got a great night sleep, even on weekends. Problem solved.
Because this happened back in 1950 or so, the parents quietly just learned a lesson along with the boy, about treating your neighbors with some respect. Treating people in the same way as one would like to be treated. Is what people used to say when trying to instruct people on proper behaviours.
These days, people get litigious and sue! So what does one do now days with unreasonable neighbors, whether it is noisy balls being kicked early mornings, or those noisy patriotic flag flying neighbors that are allowing your sleep to be blown away in the wind?

Have you had that "OH" moment when you at first meet someone new? Certain kinds of people may spark your interests, motives, or lusts, but not talking about them right now? Not excluding the above…but talking about being social, but nor necessarily limited to just being social either; just allowing for you to produce your own excuses for going out meeting people. But the question still applies all the same. Have you had that "Oh" moment when you are quietly telling yourself, you have just reached you're limit with this person, what ever that limit is? But the only response you can visualize or say out loud, usually with some kind of funny, or surprised expression of…. OH!
You know the look? Because you all have been there.
Like take this chance meeting–the person and you are engaged in conversation, small talk, when the other person says. "I was once in an insane asylum, but doing better now. Those therapists can do wonders you know?"
"OH"! Quickly you start to fumble with the right excuse, without offending, while looking nonchalant for the exit. It isn't that anyone cares why they were in the asylum, or if they are better now? You don't care to find out for sure. Your not going to be a social experiment of sorts as seen in a horror movie? Nore are you asking why would anyone say that just out of the gate, by blurting it out to a would be stranger……you?
Or how about; you're sitting at the bar enjoying a drink while unwinding. You strike up a conversation with someone, when the conversation moves to how unclean the bathroom is, and how few people wash their hands after using the bathroom. The other person is picking at the beer nuts and offers up the comment. "Yea, have you seen the bathroom sinks, and water fosses? They are just gross. I think someone even took a crap in the sink once, and it never got cleaned up properly. I just looked at it in horror and moved out the door again." Looking up and making eye contact with you they adding. "Beer nuts?" sliding the bowl over while taking another few, and popping them into their mouth.
Not wishing to make accusations or assumptions, or even asking any questions to any facts there of, on this subject matter. You respond in the usually way, "OH!" extending a flat hand and saying. "No thanks, to those nuts."
How about when you ask someone out on a date— The women says she needs to watch her figure and would like a salad. But then orders finger foods, drinks, and a stake….? Looking up at you responding. "Not to worry, she has an active metabolism."
You don't want to question her? Of course you want to believe that? But you can't say. "Are you eating for two?" just another way in asking are you pregnant? Instead you have nothing else to say but…"OH"!
Or that one that is constantly on the cellphone while you're eating dinner with her? You're thoughts play different scenario's— she's setting up another date after you buy her dinner? Maybe just another date for drinks with a guy she likes better than you? No matter the thoughts of possible excuses running around your head. Your response is…"OH" in that moment, because if you're buying dinner aren't you also buying exclusivity of her attention? I know. OH!
How about this one I saw on TV once. Two people found each other, dated awhile, fell in love. While on their way up to the marriages alter, one confesses to the other because they're riddled with guilt, so they whisper. "I want to start our union with compleat honesty." You node your head in compleat agreement. They go on. "I once was a dude. But surgery was even more successful than my wildest dreams."
I know that one is rare! But with all of the crazy reasons for getting altered with surgery, net alone more and more stories in the world of people changing themselves. There is an increasing chance of just this happening to someone in real life? Then what? Is this fraud, or robbery of individuals making good faith choices in their own lives? Will it be an "OH" moment? Or….?
Check out this story from the net; Belgian discovers his wife used to be a man after 19 years via @Telegraph http://soa.li/QE4xMLT
As you can see there are lots of different "OH" moments in life. Just how we respond to them is even a more interesting than the events where your responses were just… OH!?
Do you care to share? Come on be brave, light our giggle fuse, and let everyone enjoy past fireworks of real life happenings with those "OH moments."
All the best.
If you have ever been robbed before, or even if you were one of those special people who helped / rescued a person in trouble before, common sense isn't a problem to understand, or even practice. It is those text-book theorists, who clams are to be disciples of wisdom, but then fail to use any, that then present the ideas— God, Evil, and Gun control, and lets also include " Common sense, have nothing in common to each other. But then there is my question… What is right or wrong with, "God's common sense VS. "Thug rules of charity""?
It isn't because I'm smarter than anyone. I'm not! But I do believe in some simple truths. God's common sense can be explained like this. Placing your trust in God, believing that he gave you a brain to use to your full capacity, would be individually and personally empowering. To also take responsibility for using it, even when and if, you the user may come to think, your brain has met its capacity to do so. So many people are there already with the gun control issue. Not to say it may be a challenge at times? But then if you believe, you can then take hold of God's hand, as your reassurance, that you can do all things with him. Of course accepting the concept of a God, or arguing with yourself, if there even is a God? Could leave you thinking that government will do a better job?
Though you walk through the shadow of the valley of death, you should fear no evil. If you believe in God, and trust in him, this is reassuring. If you don't believe, and find yourself in the valley's shadow, confronted by someone who wants your wallet, money, watch, car keys, and your wife and first-born, or your life? In short all of your stuff and maybe your life after all have been taken from you! Let's just call it "Thug rules of charity"? Because believing in mob rule, has you accepting the role you have to play. Redistributing your efforts and stuff to those who need!
This kind of mindset is identical to the thoughts of government doing everything, because people with charity aren't doing it voluntarily! All to avoid being called out by those thugs and their entire gall saying. You are the one with a problem of "Greed" not the ones who would take out of need!
While you are fumbling around looking for all that they are demanding of you, for your charitable contribution. You may be contemplating whether or not to pray to God. But then a thought comes to mind. God may have given you some common sense to use before getting to this point? But you didn't listen. Like a strike of white lightning, you think… perhaps someone will call 911 on your behalf. Government and their agencies will come to your rescue… so stall if you can?
As luck would have it, someone did call! The time it takes for the police to arrive to your aid, the thug could have stabbed you several times, emptied his guns ammo clip into you and your family, or choked the living crap out of you. The main point is that police officers arrive at any crime scene ready to investigate just what happened to the victim/s? Police officers are also armed with adequate weapons to meet any possible remaining threat once they arrive. So why not some less violent confrontation methods? Why not control the kind of weapons, and ammo clips for the police in the same way as the population? If you think that is stupid? You should remember that there are no stupid questions in life. Just misleading answers of those who think of you as stupid— liberals, and government alike.
The only real question is whether or not you would at least at some point put up a fight, a struggle, or some kind of opposition while you wait for help to arrive in order to save your own possessions, family, or even your own skin, let alone the life of another (Like for instance you come upon a women being raped, beaten, or some such)? If the answers to these type of questions are about to be met with some kind of opposition in your thoughts as you read this. Then I must also ask…Would you stop to help someone who was in a car accident, a burning house? How about a dog or cat that a car ran over and is in the middle of the road? What is the difference?
The way I see it is, if you don't want people to have guns (for whatever flawed reasoning) it is because you don't wish to do the dirty work of being free, accountable, or responsible! You are a safety whore! A GREEDY person who wants to have the same things others do, "SAFETY from evil doers!" except your totally greedy about it! You would want somebody else to stop and help you in any and all examples already given in this post. All the while reserving the right to justify your inaction to do the same, because it would jeopardize your personal safety, in defending someone else safety. Or you just don't trust yourself in doing what is right by the law, and if you had a gun? It could tempt you to pull the trigger on the unsuspecting. Not that you're bad or evil—– the Gun is!!
So what was God's common sense? Whether you decide to defend yourself and family, or how you personally choosing a weapon to use in such defense, or if you're going to ever defend in some way against some stranger, or if you chose to do nothing at all? GOD gave us all the sense to know that evil will always be with us. So to use equal weaponry in opposition to the evil that exists, to the emanate threat you're facing in your shadow's or in your valley's, we have God's gift to exercise our 2nd amendment rights. Unless you're totally fine with insulting your creator who made you, and gave you more brains than you're choosing to use? Why should anyone have to defend anyone's burning house, by un-zipping and peeing on the fire, or helping someone in a car accident by walking the other way, or helping a women that is being beaten and raped by blaming the type of clothing she wore as your running away, and thinking, "Hope she had the time to get some of that free government birth control?"; or even when your left defending yourself and wife and kids from an illegal gun-toting criminal who is blind to following any law and is personally threatening everyone with it? Why should we have to wait for any help from government so far away? Was New York re built with government's help after the hurricane that devastated parts of the city? Yea, that was real fast in helping people. NOT! Would it be using God-given common sense to quickly look around for the closest butter knife to offer as your primary weapon of choice for a gun fight?
Why should we ask government to out-law, the law-full use of self-protection equal to your evil opposition's weapon of choice?
Why beat around the bush then? If we can do away with needless deaths of good people at the hands of evil people using a gun; 100% of the time crime is stopped by police officers with… wait for it… a gun! Why out-law the gun, when it makes perfectly good sense to out-law evil people and their actions they choose to use, no matter what the weapons they use?
If you're liberal, and therefore think guns are bad, and criminals are just good people who are misunderstood, as well harbor a secret / not so secret support of evolution and or abortion? Consider, that the thug wielding a gun in your face, demanding your stuff or you're life. Is the proof that evolution left on its own, was right in part? We don't need government to get involved in tinkering with evolution! That gun wielding thug is evolution's abortionist! Because you're too stupid to even want the opportunity to choose, (Or use your God-given common sense) to choose the fastest acting, best weapon available to you in defending yourself. But instead you place your blind faith in cowering in fear, waiting for government help to arrive, while praying, hope it doesn't take too long to get here.
Isn't that kind of like…… if you should be a prisoner in prison and the one complaining about being raped in prison, hoping that guards will stop it, and soon! At some point in the near future at least you should having the willingness, to then realizing the facts are, it's the guards who are playing match-maker for profit at you're expence?
Are you ready and willing to accept those guards, as you're only protection in this social asylum? When in historical terms of fact, up until the creation of the United States of America, there is a 100% accuracy rating, that all other Governments the world, over the last 6000 years, were all to willingly abusing their people, and their God-given rights, one of which as being— the right to self-protection?
So tell me again, how is it using your GOD given common sense, when you are willing to give you're GOD given rights away to the devils of the world/government powers, who do abuse them? Isn't that like saying? "Thanks GOD! But no thanks! Freedom to choose is so over rated! Bless us with tyranny, because we are running out of things to complain about these days."
All the best.
When it comes to those dangerous weapons in the world, we need to do something don't we? Weapons are indeed objects without a brain; only in the movies is where brainless objects have lives all on their own, with evil agendas like murder, or acting out mayhem in the proses of entertaining people. Remember the movie where Chuckey the doll (who was nothing more than a criminal that was placed into the doll by some evil religious right.) I know that dolls can't act anything out on their own; it takes the actions of people that play with them. But in the movies and in the minds of liberals, dolls and weapons have minds of their own. So they can act out with brutal, evil, homicidal intent on their own, can they?
We now live in a world that questions people or their intent they may have in even wanting a weapon. But these same people never seem to question the criminal who may misuses the weapon. Criminals are not, nor can they ever be responsible for their actions. Society certainly made them turn out the way they did. So is the reasoning of some at least. If not society, then their parents, schools and the bullies in them, even wacko religions are certainly at fault. Never the person and the choices they made on their own. Unless you're a law-abiding citizen, then, and only then we should all question your choices, and your intent that is behind those choices?
Stopping the criminal seems too easy, but controlling the masses, compelling them to accept controls that would be placed upon them, because they can't be trusted, is the political challenge of the day. Politian's excuse themselves by saying. "We need to control those dangerous weapons, because they can kill someone at will. Besides these weapons look scary and so they must go, in the name of public safety." Okay maybe not exactly said like those Politian of the day, but close enough for hand-grenades?
We have become a society that teaches kids not to throw imaginary hand-grenades in school, while killing the world's evil by playing an imaginary super hero. Super heroes don't really exist, so guns in the hands of people, who may view themselves as super heroes in protecting themselves or loved ones, shouldn't either? Yet we think of arts and entertainment as some great work, like in the movies, where super heroes do just that without even thinking twice about it, or if it is being normal or not. We have become so desensitized to the gun, and how evil it is. That even our schools have lost all sense of reality, and common sense. Can we really call this a great education, when kids have gotten trouble for chewing food into the shape of a weapon, throwing imaginary hand-grenades, or even making a shape of a gun with fingers and hands? I remember when you had to throw a punch in a fight to get in trouble in school, but now days?
After all of the life I have been blessed to live so far. I have never seen a rock throw itself in a vicious attack on someone, or even in an attempt to murder someone. Never saw an electric saw try to decapitate someone all by itself. I have never heard of a gun picking itself up and shooting someone because it had designs of taking over the world by force. Never have I ever been a believer of…. that machines of all sorts, those same ones that man or women invented or made, then became self-aware, and decided to do away with all evil humans, like in the terminator movies. Never heard of a news story like this. But I have always been able to separate entertainment from realities, net alone knowing which is which, never confusing the two.
I was taught after all, that all choices have consequences, so choose carefully. I must say….. with regards to those guns, I might just keep one eye on them at all times when in close proximity to them now. Finley a story of how evil those guns really are. So they shouldn't now be trusted? No matter who's handling them. It shouldn't be the fault of criminals alone if guns kill people, guns may have designs of their own? Perhaps they (The guns of the world) are only seeking their own independence, looking to free themselves from the evil-doers, who would just keep guns as slaves to do evils bidding.
I'm only searching for a politician, who is not looking to protect us from ourself's.

Washington Examiner
Monday, 6 June 2016
President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was palmed off on the public with soothing lies about "anytime, anywhere" inspections of the mullah's nuclear facilities; about the extent of sanctions relief Iran would enjoy; about how many centrifuges would stop spinning once the deal was in place.
So it can be no surprise that the administration also lied about when negotiations began. Senior national security advisor Ben Rhodes recently admitted that they started in 2011, not in 2013, as Obama's acolytes always claimed.
Last week, we at last got some truth about an aspect of the deal. State Department official John Kirby told reporters that a missing bit of video from a 2013 briefing was intentionally cut, removing a section in which spokeswoman Jen Psaki admits to government falsehood about when talks began.
Responding to a reporter's question, she acknowledges that diplomacy demanded the deception. "I think there are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress," she said. "[The Iran nuclear negotiations] is a good example of that."
Until last week, the excision had been blamed on a technological "glitch." Kirby has now admitted, instead, that the cut was made at the request of an unidentified official. "This wasn't a technical glitch," Kirby told reporters, "This was a deliberate step to excise the video."
State is remarkably incurious about finding out who asked for the deceptive edit and why. In truth, the "why" is obvious enough. Obama sold the nukes deal to Congress and the public by saying it was possible because the 2013 Iranian election put the "moderate," Hassan Rouhani, into the presidency, replacing the extremist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
But actually, negotiations began two years before the supposed moderate came to power. Obama didn't need to see a softening in Tehran before he wooed the death-to-America regime. He was all for it from the start. But the public might have balked if it had known negotiations started in 2011, when Iran was still run by an anti-Western Holocaust-denier whose stated goal was to wipe Israel off the map.
So the most transparent presidential administration in history — such as Obama's boast — lied about it, and then concealed the evidence.
If it had come out that the U.S. was negotiating with Ahmadinejad, it would have confirmed the truth that Obama was willing to do just about anything to get his legacy deal done. And, oh, what came between the true date that negotiations began and the stated date that they began? Why, the 2012 election, of course.
Kirby said State Department officials have no idea who asked for the video edit and will now drop the matter. "There were no rules in place at the time to govern this sort of action, so while I believe it was an inappropriate step to take, I see little foundation for pressing forward with a formal investigation," he said. Instead, there'll be some new rules so the next president's minnions cannot do the same thing.
That's not nearly good enough. Voters are entitled to know the truth. There needs to be a full investigation into who edited the Psaki video, and whether any laws were broken.
Richard Nixon was forced to resign over minutes of missing audiotape from the Oval Office during the Watergate cover-up. Those complicit in Obama's Iranian deception must likewise be held accountable for several missing minutes in a videotape.

ConocoPhillips' Net Income Gets Boost
High oil and gas prices and high worldwide refining margins boosted ConocoPhillips' first-quarter net income to $1.4 billion, the company said Wednesday.
The nation's third-largest oil company, created by the August 2002 merger of Conoco Inc. and Phillips Petroleum Co., said January-March 2003 income, at $2.10 per share, compared to Phillips' net loss of $102 million, or 27 cents per share, in the same period last year.
Total revenues were $27.1 billion, compared to Phillips' $8.5 billion in revenues in the first quarter of 2002.
Excluding income from an accounting change and discontinued operations, first-quarter 2003 operating income was $1.27 billion, or $1.86 per share, compared to Phillips' loss of $98 million, or 26 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call expected earnings of $1.72 per share.
The first-quarter results also compared to a loss of $410 million, or 60 cents per share, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the first quarter ConocoPhillips operated as a combined company. That period included a $1.2 billion charge stemming from disposition of service stations and consolidation of refining and marketing operations after the merger. Excluding the charge, fourth-quarter net income was $747 million, or $1.10 per share.
"This is the first quarter in which we can measure our progress against the operating plan we presented in November," said Jim Mulva, president and chief executive officer of ConocoPhillips. "Our solid operating performance allowed us to secure the benefits of higher oil and gas prices and higher worldwide refining margins."
The company said definitive sales agreements on asset dispositions, including service stations, as required by the Federal Trade Commission have been executed early in the second quarter 2003. Pending FTC approval, all agreements are expected to be closed by the end of the third quarter.
ConocoPhillips said its daily production for the quarter was similar to that in the fourth quarter, averaging 1.62 million barrels-of-oil-equivalent. Decreased production in because of unrest in Venezuela was offset by higher output from Alaska, China and Indonesia.
The company also said its first quarter 2003 average worldwide crude oil sales price was $30.72 per barrel, up from $25.31 in the fourth quarter of 2002.
ConocoPhillips shares jumped 13 cents to $50.18 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

I arrived in the basket that was weaved here before me

I got here, they put pants on me

Feminism & Screwball Comedy: Why 'Tootsie' is One of the Finest (and Most Important) Comedies Ever Made
In the first-season 30 Rock episode "Fireworks," Liz Lemon and would-be beau Floyd fall asleep watching Tootsie. In their morning discomfort, Floyd awkwardly announces, "I, uh, I think Tootsie's a very well-crafted movie." Liz, equally uncomfortable, replies, "Yeah, they use it as an example in all the screenplay books." As with the best of that show, it's a moment that's funny because it's true — in this case, it's literally true, Tootsie is a very well-crafted movie. But praising it solely for craft also shortchanges it a bit. The further we get from Tootsie — which is available for fresh consumption via Criterion's recent DVD and Blu-ray special edition — the more it seems clear that it may, in fact, be the single finest comedy of all time.

France's Simple Solution to Curbing Helicopter Parents Makes Life Better for Women
Why We Need Nomads
I recently stumbled on a Quora question in which the writer was thinking about quitting his job and selling his possessions to travel the world. He gave a brief description of himself (single, in his 20s, a job but no career), and asked whether he should go for it.
The resounding answer was yes, but not necessarily because it was a respectable lifestyle. Rather, because he was young enough to get away with it. Because he still had time to build a career, a family, and a real life. Because now was the time to get the travel bug out of his system.
I was glad to read the encouragement and travel tips he received, but couldn't help wonder: what if a 40-something man with three young children also wanted to become a nomad?
A nomad is someone who travels extensively, with no real home to speak of other than…

How the Music Industry Capitalized on Foodie Culture — and Why the Culinary World Is Turning the Tables
Illustration by Brett Nuckles for Flavorwire.
A few months ago, in a foreign city I'd never visited before, I found myself fondling raw steak in a pitch-black room. Despite the disconcerting situation, all I could focus on was the conversation taking place several tables away: an argument between two men over a friendly bet. It sounded like they were wearing lapel mics. When one or more of the five senses is impaired, our remaining abilities overcompensate — a fact that sits at the heart of Montreal restaurant O.Noir's light-free concept — but I hadn't imagined my hearing would be the sense to take over when I sat down to dinner.
With all due respect to my dining companion — my oldest friend — I can't remember a word he said that night. I do, however, remember the smug tone taken by one of the men arguing at the table to…

2012-2013 Carolinian issues now online
As the spring semester closes, we have have added the past year's issues of The Carolinian to the online archive. Except for a fair number of issues from 1945, of which there are no known print copies in existence, almost the entire run of UNCG's student newspaper is currently available online. The bulk of these were digitized in 2010 and 2011 as part of the Lyrasis Mass Digitization Collaborative. New issues are added at the end of each academic year. Since 2012, these new issues have been published as "born digital" PDF files generated directly from the Carolinian's publishing system, resulting in better image quality and superior text search functionality.

Does Medicare Cover Lipitor?
Last Updated : 09/10/20183 min read
What is Lipitor?
Lipitor, or generic for Lipitor, Atorvastatin, is in a group of drugs known as statins. According to the FDA, this prescription drug may be used to control your LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Lipitor works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body and decreasing the amount of cholesterol that may build up in the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, according to the U.
S. National Library of Medicine. Lipitor or generic for Lipitor may be used together with diet, weight loss, and exercise to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, reports the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Does Medicare Cover Lipitor?
Medicare Part B typically only covers drugs such as infusions or injections administered at a doctor's office or in a hospital outpatient setting. Medicare Part A typically only covers prescription drugs you receive as an inpatient in a hospital or other facility. For other prescriptions you take at home such as Lipitor, you may want Medicare Part D coverage from a private insurance company. This coverage is available as either a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan, which has the same benefits as Original Medicare, plus drug coverage. (With Medicare Advantage hospice care is still covered by Medicare Part A.) Both stand-alone Part D Prescription Drug Plans and Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans may cover Lipitor or Lipitor generic.
How do I know if my plan covers Lipitor?
All Medicare drug plans have a formulary, or drug list, that shows the medications they cover and what your cost-sharing is for each type of prescription. You can check the plan's formulary to see if it covers Lipitor or Lipitor generic. Brand-name drugs often cost more than generics, so ask your doctor if you need Lipitor or Lipitor generic Atorvastatin. The generic form of Lipitor has the same active ingredient, strength, dosage form and route of administration as brand name Lipitor, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Are you aware that a plan's formulary could change each year? Additionally, the formulary may change at any time. You will receive notice from your plan when necessary. This means you may want to check that the drugs you need are still covered and see if your cost-sharing has changed.
Do you have questions about Medicare coverage of Lipitor and other prescription drugs?
If you're looking to switch Medicare plans or add Medicare coverage, I can show you what's available in your service area. I'm happy to set aside time for a phone call or I can send you a customized email of Medicare plans that fit your needs; the links for those are below too.

Guest Post by Ryan Lovell, Senior Exhibit Consultant for TradeTec Skyline
This is a follow up to "To Exhibit or Not to Exhibit." In her recent post, Julie conveyed some experiential wisdom in her warning to folks considering going into trade shows. Her advice was if you have to ask, the answer is no. I've worked with Julie at two organizations, once reporting directly to her. With no exaggeration and no flattery intended – she's far and away the sharpest mind I've encountered in my 7 years in K-12 sales.
Having said that, I am going to disagree with her advice. My answer is you could be missing serious growth opportunities by not doing trade shows! Not much of what Julie said is wrong – they are expensive and you need to plan or else it could be a major hemorrhage in your sales/marketing budget. The big point I want to make is that when done correctly, trade shows can accelerate aggressive growth like lighter fluid on a camp fire.
Think of the last trade show you went to. There's evidence of trade shows done the right way, the so-so way, and the "Oh that's so wrong way." Like just about anything else in life, there is a way to screw up your trade shows. I came up with 4 types of exhibits I've encountered, and the 4th one is the exhibit you'll want to be.
- The Varsity Club – This booth is full of seasoned reps and C level executives. They have a huge 50×50 space, some decent displays, and lots of tables and chairs. A lot of the time it looks like they are talking to each other and never will you see them approaching the aisles. These boys have huge books of business, and are content meeting clients and keeping them happy. ROI outlook – customers and brand alone will bring them new business, but they are leaving serious money on the table by having an aggression factor of virtually zero with new prospects.
- We're Here Because We Have To Be – They are at the show, but it's clear in the everything about them that no one wanted to be. The sales staff is either working on a laptop or not really making any effort to work. The display is the very cheapest display possible. You'll see big no-no's like food in the booth, graphics that are clearly outdated. You don't want to be these people. The spending is far less than a serious exhibitor, but the ROI is next to nothing.
- All The Wrong Reasons – This exhibition has a lot going for it! They have major traffic, good location, a sharp display. But they're missing in one big way. They're not attracting the right person. Not every single attendee at the show is your target prospect. This company has everyone stopping by to see the magician, or to win the free iPad. They got it going on, but they are spending precious resources attracting leads that are not useful. The ROI is okay, but the massive amount of wrong leads will frustrate the sales team and eventually they will lose patience sifting through the piles to find the good ones.
- The Exhibit that has it going on – At every trade show, there are a few exhibits that stand out. There is one that I've always admired in K-12. They dressed in orange shirts, and were definitely the coolest kids on the block. This exhibit has a sexy display, smiling, organized staffers, the branding is clear and they get lots of qualified leads. The exhibit is not just a booth, it's an experience. Experiences get remembered.
So how does a company get to be one of the few exhibitors an attendee remembers? Here are five non-negotiables you must commit to if you want to use trade shows as an engine for growth.
1. Ownership
Someone needs to OWN the program, and be rewarded for its success. They should track all metrics for measurement of trade show success, and provide reporting to VP Sales. This doesn't mean it should be their only responsibility.
2. Keep Up Appearances
People stop for two reasons – the display and the people. Every square foot you occupy at the show represents you. A sharp exhibit, sharp looking people and a clean booth go a long way. You have only seconds to make an impression to attract an attendee.
Phone conversations, eating, checking emails, etc. are all things that should be done away from the booth. Do not engage in long conversations with colleagues, and do not group together – this is intimidating to an attendee and not inviting. Keep a clean booth – no visible garbage and certainly no eating.
Standing up straight, head up with a smile says that I am interested in you and you're welcome in our booth. Head down, arms crossed or worse back to the aisle say the opposite. Make sure you're clothes are ironed and clean. Don't party too much the night before! (hilarious video)
3. Use Quotas
Every staffer needs to have quotas for demos, leads, scheduled follow ups, maybe even sales at a trade show. Personally, I recommend sales contests and incentives for each show
4. Prospect-Qualify-Close!
Since a great trade show program means approaching people in the aisle, there needs to be at least one scripted approach questions. It's a simple, yet effective way to engage. Ideally it's an open question such as "What brings you to the exhibit hall today?" or "I noticed you looking at our booth, what caught your eye?"
Not all attendees are a lead. Ask qualifying questions early and often to assess the value of your lead. Done correctly you can save significant time that otherwise can require multiple calls and emails.
Always be closing. For social sales people – you're going to run into sales opportunities not JUST on the floor but quite possibly the moment you get on the plane. I've met prospects on the plane to a show, at lunches, happy hours, etc. We even closed a sale at Pete's Piano bar in Austin on a bar napkin to someone we'd only met an hour prior.
5. Motivate
If you're running your trade show program right way, sales people should be begging you to go. Why? First because they get great leads, and they are treated well. Spending $200 a night instead of $125 for a hotel can makes a huge difference. Take them to a nice steakhouse. Buy a few rounds to reward their success.
If you can commit to the five items above, and you can stay faithful to them – you can see excellent trade show ROI. My suggestion is to try 3-4 trade shows in year one and track the results carefully. If you choose to stay on the sidelines, sure you've avoided risk, but at what cost? I'll end with a line also borrowed from Shakespeare, a line from King Lear – "Nothing will come of nothing."

A 37-year-old Bulawayo man caused a stir and was subsequently arrested for creating a scene at Bulawayo Passport Office after he allegedly pulled out his sexual 'hosepipe' and repeatedly rubbed it on a woman's buttocks.
Witnesses who spoke to our news crew, said the man could have been using mubobobo, popularly known as BLUETOOTH, a magical power used by rouge men to sexually satisfy themselves without the consent of the victim.
It is alleged that Farai Chitongo who resides in Bulawayo's Old Lobengula suburb caused commotion at the passport offices when he reportedly made some 'moaning sounds' as he rubbed his erect sexual 'anaconda' against a woman's butt. However, Farai has vehemently denied the claims.
Allegations are that on 28 May the woman (name withheld), was at Bulawayo Registry Offices at around 3pm where she was waiting to collect her passport. Farai who allegedly was stalking the victim reportedly withdrew his 'charged anaconda' out of its place of residence after opening his trousers' zip and began rubbing it up and down like a see-saw against the woman's buttocks.
The woman started experiencing some funny feelings in her body as a strong, longish and muscular stick pocked her from behind. Upon turning backwards, the woman saw the overzealous Farai who was by then standing closely behind her, sweating and groaning whilst holding his 'bedroom gun' and pointing it towards the woman, it is alleged.
After getting shocked by what she saw, the woman crossed over to the other side of the counter. Farai, as his name suggests, had not felt happy enough, and therefore decided to prove that his mission was NOT impossible! He reportedly followed the woman to the other side of the counter where he allegedly resumed his 'wireless sexual encounter'.
The intimidated and sexually abused woman eventually got so frustrated upon noticing that it was the same Farai who had followed her to complete his alleged mubobobo business. The woman got the shock of her life, supposedly by the size of Farai's sexual weapon of mass destruction, that she screamed right away before Farai reportedly tried to hide his 'baby making stick' inside his T-shirt. The woman's screaming alerted members of the public and passport officials attended to the scene and apprehended Farai.
He was then handed over to police and has since appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Marylene Mtshina facing indecent assault charges. Fatso, as most people who share the same name are better known as, denied the allegations and was remanded out of custody to 8 June for trial on US$50 bail.
