Creating a successful optical practice or dispensary is actually much easier than many would think. Sure, there are several variables that must come together before a practice can truly become successful, but those variables are well within the grasp of any owner or operator. The following course will afford you the advantage of creating loyal patients while also stimulating the number of new patients that walk through your door.
Working harder instead of smarter is no way to get ahead. When it comes to improving the profitability and efficiency of your practice, increasing your capture rate and revenue per patient is the name of the game. Thankfully, the most effective means to maximizing your practice's success are as easy as catering to every patient and knowing your products. Putting an emphasis on this way of doing business is an element that has the power to grow your practice all by itself.
While most people would agree that product knowledge is essential for success, few people believe that the way you treat your customers is much more important. The fact is, providing "alright" experiences will give you patients that have no reservations about switching providers. In contrast, creating exceptional experiences will birth loyal patients that may travel across the country for you.
Another element worth mentioning is the time you should take with your patients. You may be speedy enough to transmit an order in a minute flat, but that doesn't mean you should. Just like a book, a patient encounter should only be as long as it needs to be. Nobody wants to feel like herded cattle, but they definitely don't want their ears talked off.
As professionals within the optical industry, we all know that there is fierce competition all around us. Truth is, there are plenty of patients that feel no moral obligation to keep their business within your walls. Patients who have moved across town or can't schedule an exam at a specific time are very likely to look elsewhere if they aren't loyal.
Most private practices also have the hurdle of cost to overcome. Online dispensaries and other providers who offer inexpensive products pose a threat to many practices when cost equals "value." Luckily for the rest of us, patients looking for value can actually feel as if spending twice as much is a much better deal. Patients usually feel this way when they feel as if they are somehow indebted to you. You have done them a great service, and they feel obligated to return the favor by giving you their business. These are the loyal folk you want all day long, every day.
Loyal patients will also recommend you to their friends, those friends will tell their friends, and so it continues. Even if they aren't directly recommending you, the stories they tell about how great the glasses you dispensed them are likely to create some interest with patients that want the same. Loyal patients are also much more likely to spend more in your office. After all, a patient who trusts your integrity and what you recommend is much more likely to follow your guidance.
Before creating exceptional experiences for our patients, it helps to understand how patients form their opinion about their experiences. Some of their opinion may be formed for very apparent reasons whilst some of their opinion can be formed without much understanding about why. Focus on improving the way patients feel rather than how smart they think you are or how great your frame selection is.
A patient's first impression of your practice is more likely to be altered by how organized and clean your office and the appearance of the staff is. From there, you just have to keep the ball rolling. The process of fabricating an exceptional experience can be separated into a number of variables, which will be covered in greater detail in the sections that follow.
Even though it may seem as though keeping a clean and organized office has nothing to with your capabilities as a professional, your patients will definitely see it this way. If you don't care about keeping your office clean, then patients are likely to think this mentality permeates into other facets of your practice. A clean office or workspace that is free from clutter sends a clear message that you are on top of things. Unorganized workspaces are inefficient, time-consuming and unnerving.
Another factor that a patient uses to judge your capabilities is your appearance. Firstly, ditch the chewing gum. Nothing is less appealing than a person who is chewing on a piece of gum like a cow chewing on cud. Your posture and ability to maintain eye contact says a great deal about your level of confidence. This directly translates to your perceived competence. Make an effort to sit up straight and pay close attention. When patients are talking, lean in a little to show you are engaged. I also recommend that you move slightly away from the patient when outlining the products you have recommended. Patients tend to feel more comfortable when you slightly disengage during this part of the encounter.
Keeping your office functionally current is yet another way in which a patient judges your practice. The obvious factors that sway a patient's opinion include how smoothly the exam goes and how new your equipment is. You may also be surprised to discover that your magazine collection is often used as a gauge for your practice's competence. We don't have to like that patients use this to judge us but we had better abide.
One of the best ways to prove your competence to patients is by ensuring that the most advanced products and services are available and offered to each and every one of your patients. In addition, each staff member should have the highest level of understanding for the products and services you provide. Keep in mind that while most patients may not want to pay for the best products, you can be sure that they want the best. More importantly, they want to know that the best possible solution has been recommended.
I believe that utilizing digital free-form lenses in coordination with digital measuring devices is a perfect way to display the level of service you offer. Try to utilize this technology to as many patients as you can. Show your patient you've got the goods and you know how to use them, even if your measuring device is horribly inaccurate.
Executing personal and friendly service begins the moment you first encounter a patient. Make it a point to drop what you're doing so you can give the patient your undivided attention. Starting off on the wrong foot may cast a dark shadow that you can never escape, even if the rest of the patient's experience is nothing but positive. Welcome each patient as if they were a friend you haven't seen in a while. Think of yourself as the patient's personal attendant— unless the patient is looking to be left alone.
Pull out their chair and ask if there is anything you can get for them. Acknowledge and converse with anyone in their party, including their children.
While it is very important to begin the patient's experience with a friendly welcome, it is also very important to keep the ball rolling throughout the patient's encounter. For the optician, most of this will take place at the dispensing table. Make it a habit to sit down with a patient before selecting a frame so you can obtain an understanding of what their needs are. This knowledge coupled with the patient's prescription should give you the tools you need to select an optimal frame.
Ask open-ended questions like "What will you be using the glasses for?" and "How would you like your vision to be better than your old pair of glasses?" Don't forget to ask what they are using for sunglasses. Asking questions like these will give the optician a better understanding of the types of lens designs to recommend.
It is of the utmost importance that you listen when the patient is speaking. There is a big difference between waiting to jump in and listening. People have a tendency to feel a little put off when their dialogue is interrupted. Just the opposite is true when the patient is allowed to speak until they are done. Patients will feel assured that their needs have been listened to, valued and understood. Be prepared to be in for a long haul with those who love to hear themselves speak.
I also tend to believe that it should be the responsibility of the optician to ask questions that may lead the conversation into a direction the patient has not contemplated. This technique opens the door for a multiple pair sale or superior lens designs. Take for instance, the fact that one pair of progressive spectacles will rarely meet all of the patient's needs, just like a patient using photochromic lenses isn't going to get the same protection that a pair of sunglasses will offer. If you inform your patients of the best scenarios for their needs, your interactions will go as smooth as butter.
Once you have a working knowledge of what the patient needs, you should recommend the best solutions. I can't stress the importance of the word "recommend." As long as you are confident in what the patient needs then you should act as such. Never forget that you are an experienced professional. Merely acting accordingly will convey the message that your working knowledge of optics can be trusted by your patients.
It's also important that you outline why you have recommended specific products to your patients. For example, you might say, "I've recommended anti-reflective treatment because it will allow for better vision and less eye strain. I also remembered that you disliked how much you had to clean your old glasses. With these lenses, you'll find that you don't have to clean them nearly as much, and it will be a lot easier to do so when you do have to clean them."
The only advice I would suggest when offering products to a patient would be to keep it simple. It is easy to take the frequent use of technical terms for granted. Terms like "abbe" or "specific gravity" only matter to the infamous engineer. Using terms like "lighter" or "clearer" will keep your patients on the same page.
Once you've recommended a visual solution for a patient, open the door for any questions or objections the patient may have. Don't try to sell something that a patient has declined unless they have done so because they are misinformed. For instance, there should be some discussion when a patient wants a photochromic lens as a substitute for sunglasses.
Once the order has been placed and sent to the lab, the order still needs to be seen through. To ensure this, it's not a bad idea to check your lab's report on a daily basis. Most labs will email or fax you an updated "work in process" sheet every day. If they don't, then you should see how that information can be made available to you.
When an order looks out of sorts, then you may want to personally call the lab. If the patient's order is going to be delayed beyond the time frame that you disclosed, then you should follow up with the patient to assure them that you are on top of it. The news of a delayed pair of glasses will be received much better if the patient doesn't have to find out about it by calling you a week after their glasses should have arrived.
When the patient's glasses do arrive, make sure every variable is verified. This means PD, segment height, material, frame style and color, etc. There is nothing more embarrassing than an obvious mistake caught by the patient at dispense. Even if you don't lose their business, they will definitely be skeptical in the future.
No two patients are ever alike. Many patients are likely to enter your practice already knowing what sort of style they want and what price they want to pay. Even the most educated patients rarely understand what visual solutions will satisfy their needs the best. If the optician can assess these needs of the patient and offer a solution that will blow their expectations away, price can become less of a concern.
Finding a magic solution starts by asking a series of key questions. These sorts of questions are used for a few reasons. Most importantly, we should be looking to learn about the patient's lifestyle to find out what products suit that lifestyle. This can also be your ammunition when you are recommending a certain product. For instance, you might say "I have recommended an HEV anti-reflective treatment since you have been experiencing some eye strain after a few hours on the computer."
Asking key questions will likely open the door to anti-reflective treatments, premium lens materials, designs and additional pairs. Additional pairs are by far the best way to stimulate your practice's growth. Patients often feel excited and significant when they decide to treat themselves to a pair of shades or specs that will allow them to enjoy their hobbies more.
Recommending additional pairs or premium products is an act that many opticians can have reservations about. I have even witnessed those that feel as if trying to "sell" someone on a second pair is too pushy. I couldn't disagree more. Again, one pair of glasses is unlikely to satisfy all of their wants or needs. Patients are actually unlikely to feel as if you are trying to push products on them if you properly execute the process. Conversely, they are more likely to feel as if you are looking out for their best interest.
I firmly believe that merely asking a patient what they want or need is not enough. The fact is most patients have little idea what they really need. As a professional, it is your duty to make these discoveries for yourself. The same is true when an optician asks a patient if they want their glasses adjusted upon dispense.
It can be hard to get in the habit of asking relevant questions every time. If you are finding it hard to ask all the right questions, put a system in place that will ensure that you do. The easiest way to accomplish this goal is to type something up that covers any question that you and your team think is important. You might include questions such as "What are you using for sunglasses?" Ask your patients specific questions that can't end in "yes" or "no." Asking questions like "Are your current glasses working well?" won't do.
While there are specific methods to forming a magnificent experience, the basics are simple. Even newcomers to the optical arena can make a name for themselves if they stay focused on doing the very best they can for their patients. As professionals within the optical community, we have the power to significantly improve a patient's quality of life. If you know your stuff and treat those around you with kindness, everything else will fall into place.

A British town plans to burn a 11m effigy of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein at its annual Bonfire Night celebrations.
Each year the Edenbridge Bonfire Society chooses a well-known figure to go up in flames alongside an effigy of 17th-century militant Guy Fawkes.
The society says Weinstein was the obvious choice after many women made allegations of sexual harassment and assault against him.
The effigy unveiled today appears in a bathrobe, holding a Hollywood star and a clapperboard with "final cut" on it. It will be burned Saturday in the southern England town.
The society stressed while the event is lighthearted, there's "nothing funny" about the allegations.
Towns across Britain light bonfires and fireworks to commemorate Guy Fawkes' failed Noember. 5 Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament in 1605.

You know people are still wondering if I'm doing house job, people will be asking are you sure you are working? Really… is it until you see eye bags popping making me look like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I have mastered the art of chilling, working, enjoying and making my patients happy at the same time. Weird combo for a House officer whose motto is known to be Work, Work, Work (In Rihanna's Voice).
I should say the government was unfair, for some time we had worked extra three weeks without being paid, I tell you it wasn't easy, the motivation were the patients really.
On this fateful day while I was seeing a patient, my phone beeped indicating a message had entered, I wasn't going to look at my phone, MTN has been a nuisance with their numerous messages I mean those guys deserved to be sued. I continued my consult, getting my head into the game.
It was even the patient that told me to look at my phone, Ok yea I did, I wasn't sure if I was seeing double or my phone was falsely displaying digits or was it a coincidence? Was my patient some sort of Merlin in disguise.
That one beep was one that was going to put smiles on my face, my long awaited salary had been paid… yaaaay
I'm sure you are surprised why is this guy so happy – try and work in UCH for a month without salary as a House officer and I'm sure if you were me you'd have rolled on the floor and sustained some major cuts and lacerations, but I didn't shout. I comported myself. The patient did not even know all what was happening within me, of course she was quick to observe that her doctor was lovelier, happier and had dilated pupils. Yea it's said happiness, love, fear, lies are all sympathetic responses. Next time a guy tell y'all ladies he loves you and is going to buy you heaven and earth just look into eyes if they are pretty much dilated you better don't fall. The only set of guys who don't follow this phenomenom are guys who have seen hell and are back, they have seen the real devil and probably can put on every force of deceit.
I was walking to my room with my head up high like an agama lizard who had just found its mating partner, Another message popped in. Trust me, hell yes I was going to read it maybe it's going to be the allowances they were owing us, I reached out for my phone which was deep in my pocket of my ward coat, I pressed the button which was to bring it on from sleep mode… Lo and behold I saw, 'DR AJIDAHUN KINDLY REPORT TO THE WARD, YOUR ATTENTION IS URGENTLY NEEDED… ' Oh boy what have I done, who have I offended? I redirected my steps as quickly as my legs could take me. This message was from one SR that only words you'll get from him are queried.
I got up to the fourth floor catching my breath, Lo and behold I didn't see him…What I saw was my worst nightmare. I saw…

Cheap Student Flights
After a long semester of early-morning classes and late-night study sessions, the first thing on many students' minds is getting as far away from campus as possible. The following resources will help you find out how to find cheap student flights so that your budget doesn't stop you from getting the most out of your limited free time.
Best Travel Sites for Student Flights
When you're ready to book a flight, whether it's abroad or within the United States, you'll want to use a student-oriented travel search site. Sites like Kayak and Expedia are great when you're willing and able to pay full-price for flights, but when you're a college student, you may not have to.
The following sites are catered specifically to students and will help you find the flights within your timeframe at the lowest cost:
- StudentUniverse
StudentUniverse should be your first stop whenever you're planning a flight. StudentUniverse can even set you up with your hotel stay and tour packages.
- STA Travel
Similar to StudentUniverse, STA Travel is a youth- and student-oriented travel company that can help you get the best deals on flights and travel packages.
- CheapOAir
CheapOAir is another great site to check out when you're researching student airfare. Check out their special section that's dedicated just o student travelers.
- Generation Fly
Generation Fly is a program offered by Lufthansa for U.S. students aged 12-25 with valid .edu email addresses. This site offers the most benefit if you're traveling to Europe.
Cheap Flights for Studying Abroad
High travel costs can be especially frustrating when your study-abroad program requires you to purchase a pricey plane ticket. Luckily, many international airlines and travel companies offer deals for students traveling abroad.
Expect Layovers
Your flights to and from your abroad destination will still undoubtedly be your biggest travel cost, but you can save money if you're traveling to a smaller-sized city or town. Small cities don't have large, international airports, so you'll need to layover in a larger city before departing to your final destination, bringing the cost down quite a bit. When you're traveling on a budget, be prepared to accept less-than-ideal travel conditions, including layovers.
Best Travel Sites for Study-Abroad Students
Your biggest travel expenditure when you study abroad will be airfare to and from the United States. But while you're overseas, you'll also want to make sure you have the time and the means to see everything you want to see and travel as much as possible.
The best way to get the most of your free time abroad is to use a budget airline search engine, like one of the following:
- Lonely Planet
Lonely Planet is a great site with a search tool that's perfect for students traveling abroad—especially in Central and South America. The next time you want to get away from campus for a weekend trip, check out their flight search tool or even book a tour.
- Skyscanner
Skyscanner includes all of the best budget airlines in their results, so if you're traveling from one international destination to another, this site is the perfect tool for you.
Budget International Airlines for Students
Watch for these popular budget airline names when you're booking your international or overseas flight:
- Ryan Air
- WizzAir
- EasyJet
- IndiGo
- AirAsia
- JetStar
- Azul
Save Even More Money on Airfare
Learning how to find cheap student flights is an excellent first step if you're traveling during your college years. But there are also some simple tools and tricks to keep in mind while you're traveling as a student and years into the future.
Time is Money
A good rule of thumb when you're trying to book a cheap student flight is to reserve your flight as early as possible. However, prices can fluctuate throughout the year, so it's a good idea to set a fare alert on your favorite travel/airfare search site. Sites like StudentUniverse allow you to set an alert for when prices on your flights drop to their lowest rates.
Watch Out for Extras
Another good rule to follow whenever you travel is read the fine print for hidden extras and fees. A flight may at first seem cheaper than all the others, but if it seems too good to be true, it just might be. Watch out for these common airfare traps:
- Small comforts – Budget airlines are notorious for charging for every little thing. Make sure you add your travel necessities (like water) to the cost of your ticket or check to make sure you can bring your own supplies on board.
- Transfers and transport – With some budget flights, you could fly into a small regional airport that's hours away from the city center where you need to catch your next flight. When that's the case, you'll need to pay for transport to get you wherever you need to go, on time.
- Baggage – Budget airlines often charge more for baggage to make up for their lower prices. Check whether you'll be charged more than usual for checked bags or for carry-ons.
- Details -When you're traveling with a budget airline, make sure you've got every detail covered, from arriving early to print an extra copy of your ticket. Every little misstep could cost you real money when traveling budget air.
Travel Light
The last thing you want when you're traveling on a budget is to be weighed down by bags upon bags of luggage. Budget airlines usually charge more for baggage than normal airlines to make up for their bargain-barrel prices, but even major airlines are no slouches when it comes to hidden baggage fees. When you want to save money on airfare, make sure to pack just the essentials and leave room in your luggage for any gifts and purchases you might want to bring back home.
Ways to Free Up Some Cash So You Can Travel As a Student
College is expensive, that's for sure. You need to figure out ways to save money while in school to help finance any traveling. Things such as buying and selling used textbooks alone could save you enough money for a trip. Creating a budget is another easy way to free up some cash. You would me amazed how much money is wasted on stuff that's not necessary when you don't budget properly.
How to Travel as a Student
During your college years, it is essential to learn how to find cheap flights for students. Whether you're traveling abroad for your studies, joining your friends on a spring break adventure, or traveling home to see family for the holidays, the resources above will help you get the most out of your student travel budget. At the end of the day if you aren't able to travel as a student, you could always find a job that allows you to travel post-graduation!

Pastry cream (crème pâtissière in French) is basically a stirred egg custard (Vanilla Custard Sauce) with cornstarch, flour or a combination of the two added for thickening. It can be used as is or lightened with whipped cream as a filling for Cream Puffs or Éclairs. Other familiar desserts made with pastry cream include luscious fresh fruit tarts and Boston cream pie. Experiment with other flavor accents, such as instant coffee powder, rum or a liqueur. For pastry cream with a light almond flavor, add 3/4 teaspoon almond extract along with the vanilla.

Insider Info
Plan ahead: Make pastry cream well in advance, so it can chill thoroughly and thicken up. A hot or warm filling will make pastries soggy.
Secrets of success: Low heat, a heavy saucepan, constant stirring and patience are the keys to making pastry cream. It takes at least 20 to 25 minutes for the pastry cream to thicken. If you increase the cooking temperature to try to speed the process along, the mixture is likely to curdle. Stirring constantly, making sure to cover the entire bottom and the corners of the pan, prevents scorching and ensures that the mixture heats evenly.
Check for bubbles: It's hard to see the first signs of boiling when stirring constantly. When you begin to feel a heavier drag on the spoon, start lifting the spoon up occasionally to check if any large bubbles are bursting at the top of the mixture. Keep cooking and stirring until large bubbles appear. Then boil and stir for 1 minute.
Cool quickly: The ice water bath is another aid to prevent curdling. It cools the pastry cream and stops the cooking quickly. Have it ready in advance. At this point it is important to stir only occasionally, not constantly. Too much stirring will break down the structure of the thickened pastry cream and result in a thin consistency.

text: Name: Ethan Leo McKeeganRole at Machina: Supervisor and Barista at Machina on Nicolson Street.At Machina, you will normally find me… trying to perfect my swan game, making sure my Machina family is happy, and watering my leafy babies (i.e. our gorgeous climbers and cacti). To me, coffee is… a little luxury; I know some of us need a coffee in the morning just to function, but I think coffee is much too delightful to be considered just 'fuel.' What is your go-to coffee? I don't think I have one! I rarely drink the same coffee twice in a row, I flit from filter to piccolo to mocha; but if I'm trying a café for the first time, I'll go for a flat white. What kit do you use to make coffee at home? Don't judge, but I never drink coffee at home. I know. I have so much coffee at Machina when I'm working. So on my days off, I have to explore what the rest of Edinburgh has to offer! Call it supporting local cafés!Best coffee experience ever: I've had a couple of wonderful experiences, but I love being able to just sit back, taste coffee, and discuss what's going on with the flavours. I'm lucky that I get to do this almost every day.Worst coffee experience ever: I briefly worked in a café that served espresso that tasted like chemicals and rubber. Not good. What's the biggest cafe no-no in your opinion? I hate cafés that look like school canteens. Queues. Trays. Hair nets. No thanks. How did you end up working in coffee? At the start of my gap year, I knew I wanted to work and learn about something I was genuinely interested in, so I started working in a café in the city I'm from, and it's just snowballed from there.Out of 10 how much of a coffee geek are you? In the regular world I think I'm a 10, but in the coffee world I'm like a strong 5. I know my coffee, but have you seen the barista championships?Top coffee tip: Flavour is totally subjective. Taste everything. That espresso might taste amazing as is, but is it good as a latte? Mocha? Long Black? Only one way to find out.Most underrated hot beverage in your humble opinion: A good hot chocolate is hard to find. Too weak here, too sweet there. That place has grainy hot chocolate. Ugh. I'll let you know when I find the perfect one.What do you like to do when you're not drinking coffee? Dance. Ballet, Tap, Jazz, you'll find me in a class somewhere. If you can't find me in a dance studio, then I'm in my kitchen. I love to bake. If there aren't any cakes in my flat then something is wrong. What albums are in your current rotation? Currently living for Shape of Silence by Saint Sister, and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Otherwise, I'm most likely listening to a Musical Theatre playlist. Guiltiest pleasure: Doing nothing. Staying in bed all day, watching Drag Race or something equally vapid. It's the best.

You close the book you're reading and unplug yourself, turning yourself into a comfortable burrito as you think about your day and your tasks for tomorrow.
You don't know when you fell asleep, but the next time you open your eyes groggily, you find yourselves lying in something that looks bright green and feels like soft grass. Blinking and reaching up to rub away sleep as you sit up, you bump your head into something, causing a screech and a loud flutter of purple as it puts distance between you.
A purple creature comes back to hover in front of you with wide, curious eyes. Blinking again to make sure you're awake, you realize the creature in front of you is a purple dragon.
"A dragon!" you think. "What's a dragon doing here?"
As thoughts run through your head, you feel a nudge behind you, and the dragon looping upward, signaling you to get up. You do so, and the dragon flies ahead, looking back at you. "Come on," a voice in your head says, startling you. "We must hurry so you can meet the others and explore."
As you follow along, the dragon chatters away happily.
Welcome to Bookwyrming Thoughts, where dragons have roamed since November 2012.

This is off of San Jose rapper Antwon's Fantasy Beds Mixtape. Peep dude's bandcamp, some interesting things have been coming out of Natureboy gang and shit the south bay in general.
Freeway and Tek
I don't know if this has made the blog rounds because I don't read blogs but fuck'em watch this shit
Some Dallas shit, around the 3:30 mark it kind of loses it with the singing but man I've been feeling a lot of these A.Dd+ dudes' stuff lately. That beat slaps, I mean it's hard too lose when you rock that static bass over yeah ho chants. Some North Texas rap delivery that keeps it up to speed with a little distortion in the vocals popping up once in a while to keep it moving to the next. Also rap beats with sirens are always a good look for aggressive fast raps. If you've got the chance to see these dudes live I'd recommend checking, saw them in Austin and it was a dope live show. But yeah click that shit above if you want to download more of their stuff or just go to divehiflylo
Listening to this for the first time right now. If you like the detroit stylin of Danny Brown but feel that he can get a little to loose with his voice and like him when he's a little more restrained then you should check this. Dopehead came nice on that Bruiser Brigade track so I checked this off the strength. His beats are slightly more traditional than what you might expect from someone in DB's camp but unique enough that he doesn't fall into some boring ass been there done that shit. It's just a frame for him to build his own perspective around.
That beat on Time Crisis is fucking dope and he brings enough aggro to fit the stripped down drums, static bass blasts and cascading robosynths. I like when he fucks with his more off the wall beats because I feel like his voice can get more punch through a beat than Danny Brown who tends to just get too high with his voice and too piercing. Dopehead carries more weight with his delivery. Anyways check it, lots of raps about getting high and sticking dicks into females, it's a good time.
I want this song but I cant find shit else this dude has ever done. I know nothing of him but the video was on Bigga Rankin's site so now you get to watch it and possibly never hear from him again.
Why didn't the internet tell me this mixtape has been out since fucking August 28th? Step your fucking game up already.
I was never really sold on the whole Huntsville International movement. I respect it what these guys are doing but as far as the music goes it just wasn't really for me. Couple of joints I like here and there but I wasn't riding for it like some people I know were/do. Regardless today I decided to peep their new joint Black & Red and I'm feeling this track more than their usual output. Not saying I'm going to run out and cop everything but don't ignore what these dudes are doing down in Huntsville. Anyways peep game, it's got some goddamn 80's flashdance horror paced strings climbing for the beat that towards the end get cut with a synth tearing through. It teeters on too much but never goes over. The chorus builds the epicness of this song while the verses kind of bring it back from being too over the top, a bit of reality hold up the overwhelming dramatic chorus. Anyways I like this joint and you should listen to it because I fucking said so.

15 Ten-Minute Free Book Promotion Ideas For Authors
Do you have a spare ten minutes? Yes? So do some free book promotion.
We all have a spare ten minutes somewhere in our busy days. Maybe waiting for a bus or train, waiting for a meeting, waiting to pick up the kids from school, or waiting for the dentist or doctor.
Apart from waiting time, there are coffee breaks, lunch breaks and, of course, the time wasted aimlessly surfing the Internet.
You've got a phone, so think about how many of these ten minutes breaks you have in a day and put them to good use by doing some quick free book promotion that will help you sell some books.
It doesn't take much effort or time to work on building your author brand and getting the word out about your books on Amazon Kindle, iBooks, or B&N.
While many authors have a mix of free and effective paid book promotion, you should always be on the lookout for free promotion opportunities that are quick and easy.
You have published a book, so try these 15 very quick book marketing tips.
Here are fifteen quick ten-minute free book promotion ideas for you.
1. Claim your Author Profile on Bookbub and get your books listed. It's free to submit your books to be added to your author profile.
2. Publish one of your popular blog posts on Medium. It's a quick and easy, copy and paste way to find new readers and extend your book promotion.
3. Follow 100 people on Twitter. On average, about 20 will follow you back. Do it regularly, and you will build a solid following to help your book marketing on Twitter.
4. Follow 10 friends of your friends on Facebook. You'll be surprised how many will accept your request because they will see that you are in some way connected to them. You never know, you might be lucky and get a new Facebook fan.
5. Comment on a post on a popular blog or newspaper article. Commenting is one of the most effective ways to get noticed as an Indie author. If there is the option to reply to already posted comments, even better, as you will be entering into a conversation.
6. Come up with two new ideas for your next blog post. Do you have a new book cover? What's the difference between science fiction and a space opera? What are the key elements in a good mystery thriller? Don't forget to note them all down!
7. Share five posts of interest on Twitter, your Facebook Page, or any of your social media accounts. It's amazing how many people will notice and perhaps follow you back because you are sharing, and not only repeatedly posting about your Kindle book.
8. Leave five of your author business cards in the dentist's waiting room. Or anywhere else for that matter.
9. Google search 'book promotion ideas' and read two articles. You never know what new ideas you might stumble upon.
10. Look at your blog or website and note down three improvements you can make. Or, look at other authors' sites and steal a few ideas. While you are there, why not ask if you can do an author interview to post on your blog? Leave the actual grunt work for the weekend, though.
11. Read up on SEO and learn to write your blog posts around keywords to increase visitor traffic.
12. Read your author bio on Amazon and social media. Spend five minutes thinking about how you could improve it and make notes.
13. Join a new writers group on Facebook. Sometimes other writers have good ideas you can steal, huh?
14. Find a popular author or two on Twitter or Facebook and look at what they are posting about to give you ideas.
15. Read one more article on Just Publishing Advice. Well, okay, you have five minutes left, so you should read an article on The Passive Voice too.
There are so many ways you can use your few spare ten minutes each day to build your author platform and promote your books more effectively.
Spending hours a day on social media to promote ebooks is a waste of time, so ration it.
Keep thinking about the little book promotion ideas that you can do and will add up to big things over time. Have you offered any free Kindle books on Amazon recently? You can also offer free ebooks via Smashwords or Draft2Digital. There are hundreds of ways to market your book.
For years now, I have had the habit of doing a little Twitter following while I have my second cup of coffee of a morning.
Five minutes a day, that has added up to over 145,000 followers on my personal account. That is effective and quick, book promotion.
I hardly ever answer emails during the day unless they are super urgent, but I do flag the ones I need to answer.
Then, when I have a spare ten minutes, I read through them and answer the few that need a reply.
Another habit has been to note down one or two blog ideas while I am waiting for my students to turn up for class.
I'm always early, and they are usually late, so there is almost always ten minutes to use.
Come the weekend, I have all my blog post ideas well and truly formed, and they are then very easy to write.
So, do you think ten-minute book promotion habits are good habits to get into?

IBS 2016: Innovations Provide Intriguing Options for Contractors
Little Giant® will display a number of new pumping innovations at the NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) in Booth C1836 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 19-21. New innovations include:
The new Little Giant 6EC and 10EC Series of sump/effluent pumps provide lower current draw, higher energy efficiency, and improved performance. These new units feature cast iron covers and a polypropylene base that includes the stainless plate. Additional models are now available with a durable cast iron base providing increased intake area, reducing intake velocities. The 1/3 hp 6EC Series consumes only 5.0 amps while producing 53 gpm at 5 feet of head and reaching a maximum shut-off of 28 feet. The 1/2 hp 10EC Series touts a full-load rating of only 6.5 amps and produces 67 gpm at 5 feet of head with a maximum shut-off of 36 feet.
The new Little Giant SPBS Series Battery Backup Systems allow contractors to provide homeowners with the peace of mind that their basement is protected from flooding when the electricity goes out. The Little Giant SPBS Series is available in four options that deliver capacities from 53-67 gallons per minute with high flow rates, quick charging time, and hours of battery longevity.
The Little Giant Inline 400 Pressure Boosting System is a compact and economical solution to most water pressure improvement needs. It couples a proven Franklin Electric pump and motor with simple flow-based controls to provide a typical water pressure boost of up to 40 PSI, depending on the application's need. The unit's symmetrical design allows for easy installation mounting either vertically or horizontally to fit within most existing plumbing configurations – including those where space is limited. This powerful, yet whisper quiet system is ideal for city water pressure boosting, pressurizing water from a cistern tank, re-pressurizing after filtration and irrigation system boosting applications.
In addition, a product that was unveiled at last year's show, the Little Giant Pit+Plus® Basin, will also be on display. The Pit+Plus is an advanced, installation and service-friendly sewage basin option for plumbing contractors. The Little Giant Pit+Plus features a monolithic top to separate and promote the three key areas of a sewage package – the pump, switch and plumbing connections which can be accessed independently. Still offered with the common float switch, the system was recently redesigned to incorporate the extremely reliable and new ECM™ (External Control Module) switch option. It contains a 'bell' inside the basin to monitor liquid level for switch operation outside the basin, isolated from the liquid.

The Hooch 350 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker
Never cook with gas or charcoal again with the new USSC wood pellet grills. Grill, barbecue, roast and smoke like a pro with the USG350 wood pellet grill. This state of the art pellet grill has integrated technology to automatically adjust the internal cooking temperature to your desired setting while taking into account the outdoor ambient temperatures to ensure your food is always cooked to perfection. It automatically adjusts the fuel feed rate to provide a perfectly steady temperature throughout the grilling time. The Hooch small wood pellet grill also features a unique grease removal system that helps keep cleanup and maintenance a breeze. Wood pellet grills are set apart from traditional offset smokers since the computer control technology allows you to set the cooking temperature (just like your oven) to the perfect temperature for any meat and maintain a very even heat across the entire cooking time, whether its 1 hour or 8 and even longer. The USSC wood pellet grills also come with an integrated food temperature sensor to ensure your food is cooked to perfection.

South by Southwest, one of the country's biggest music, arts and technology festivals, wrapped up a few weeks ago in Austin, Texas and we're proud to say that Elemental LED's Lead Engineer Joe Martin was a part of it. Not only did Joe help to construct one of the most talked-about installations at the festival, but he also employed some of Diode LED's LED under cabinet lighting products to get the job done. The project at hand was the giant Doritos "Jacked" stage, which functioned not only as a performance space for several big-name acts (Snoop Dogg, anyone?), but also as a six-story vending machine, dispensing real bags of larger-than-life Doritos Jacked chips to lucky festival goers.
To feed the machine, audience members could search out oversized quarters hidden around town, or win them by promoting Jacked chips on Facebook. After sliding a giant quarter into the slot, participants were rewarded with a 9-foot bag of chips, along with other prizes.
Joe's task for this project was to create the oversized letter and number paneling on the front of the machine. He used Diode LED's cool white BLAZE™ 12V LED Tape Light and 12V adapters to achieve bright, easy-to-read displays. Well done, Joe!

Travelling around Prague
Once you purchase, along with your Prague MultiCard, you will also receive travel tickets for the system of public transport in Prague. These tickets work independently on you Prague MultiCard, but their price is already included in the price of Prague MultiCard. There are no hidden costs. However, in order to use these tickets, you need to follow a few simple steps.
During ticket check...
Carry your tickets with you all the time, the system of public transport in Prague work excelently and it is likely you will use it often. Children younger than 6 don't need to have a ticket at all as they can travel free of charge. If you have Prague MultiCard for students, make sure you carry your ISIC card too. You will be required to provide it in case of a ticket check by Prague's Public Transport company staff.
Validate your ticket
The tickets which you received with your Prague MultiCard must be first validate, otherwise the ticket is invalid and the passenger is treated as if he had no ticket. The area designated for validation is at the bottom of the ticket. In the picture it is marked in green.
Use the validators
Tickets must be validated in a yellow machine called "validator". Validators are placed at entrances to stations of metro or funicular, at train platforms and in every tram and bus. Each ticket must be validated only once; when changing between lines or individual means, do not validate the ticket again.
Time of validation
Since the moment of validation the ticket is valid for its designated time. With each Prague MultiCard, you received either multiple 1-day tickets or one 3-day travel ticket depending on the type of your card. Keep the time of validation in your mind, once your ticket runs out of time, it is rendered invalid.

Boats and Recreation
Rapid Load are the only pontoon or tritoon trailer guides you'll ever need!
The Rapid Load Pontoon/Tritoon Loading System is Patent Pending.
LOAD YOUR PONTOON OR TRITOON quickly and easily.
Single-person loading and unloading is our signature feature.
Our Universal mounting kit fits almost any trailer.
The system is Easy to use in all water conditions and it is Ideal
for boating on the river.
The RAPID LOAD PONTOON/TRITOON LOADING SYSTEM is perfect for quick loading and unloading your pontoon or Tritoon in all water conditions. This system uses self-leveling floats that, when combined with our universal mount kit, can be used with pontoon or tritoon trailers up to 26' boat length. It's the only pontoon loader that you'll ever need.
How Does the Rapid Load System Work?
Why ruin a relaxing day on the water with the stress of loading your pontoon or tritoon? The Rapid Load System transforms what used to be a stressful, messy loading situation into a simple, quick activity.
- Simply back the trailer down the loading ramp and the polyethylene floats raise to the waterline and adjust with water conditions.
- The vessel is guided into position as the floats slide between the pontoons.
- After hooking to the trailer, the pontoon/tritoon lowers onto the trailer as it leaves the water and the floats drop back into place.
Watch the videos below to see how the Rapid Load System works in the water.
System in action
How does it work
I was a first-time tritoon owner! I thought it would be easy to load as any other boat, turns out I was wrong.
Before buying this product, I had purchased four other products that only resulted in denting my boat and I still needed two or three people to help load. Honestly, I dreaded loading my boat until I came across Brehmer's product.
With the Rapid Load System, I was capable of loading my boat very easily and quickly. It's always sitting on the trailer perfectly. I have tried this product in very windy conditions, very steep boat ramps, and as long as the trailer's in the water, it is easy to load by myself. I no longer dread loading my tritoon.
This product works great and is very durable, I only wish I had found this product sooner. This product is worth the money all day long if you care about your boat and your time.
We no longer avoid boating
This was the first time my wife had ever loaded or even considered loading our pontoon. In the past we would tie up the ramp for ten to fifteen minutes while I backed in the trailer and went back for the pontoon, this would be on a good day.
Now we are no longer avoiding boating on windy days or on days the ramp is very busy. I have not loaded the pontoon since and my wife has become quite good.
We now visit all the way home.
We Can Trailer The Boat In Under 5 Minutes
Last year I bought a new Sylvan Tri-toon. I was all ready to have a great year on the river, but that was quickly ruined by trying to load the boat back up at the end of the day.
It was extremely difficult to get the boat centered on the trailer while fighting a 3mph river current or wind. My wife and I would take 45-60 minutes to trailer the boat. A relaxing day on the river was ruined by the stress of getting it loaded.
With the new Rapid Load, we can trailer the boat in under 5 minutes. Now we can enjoy our time on the river without dreading the return trip.
My wife says the money we spent has saved our marriage!
When we first purchased our tritoon we knew we might have a problem loading the boat, and we did. Linda would get very nervous when it came time to trailer the tritoon. She could do it, but she would be a nervous wreck.
With this loading system she has gained confidence by 150 percent, she has become guide efficient when loading the boat.
The system is awesome and works great. It's well built and can withstand some roughness.
Linda "Zip" and I have more fun on the water now since we don't have to worry about loading.
Thank you for a great loading system!
Every Trailer Needs It
I just purchased a new Shorelander trailer for my 25ft tritoon and had Rapid Load System from Brehmer installed. I live in northern South Dakota on the Missouri River. I don't put my boat in a marina and load/unload each time I take the boat out. I absolutely love the Rapid Load!
We were out today and had a 20mph side wind. I have a Sanpan with tall sides. The boat slid right on the trailer like nothing! In and out, just as fast as the pros with their walleye, deep-V fishing boats. Every pontoon trailer needs the Rapid Load.

April is here with all of its springtime warmth after a long, dreary winter.
Before you rush off on a spring break adventure or get distracted with all of the other excitement the season offers, here are five money questions you should ask yourself this month.
Tax Day this year is April 15 for most states (Maine and Massachusetts residents: state holidays mean you have until April 17).
If you're going to file late, you need to let the IRS know by applying for an extension by April 15 for most of the US and by April 17 for Maine and Massachusetts. (You'll need IRS Form 4868). This will grant you six additional months to complete and submit your tax return — your new tax filing deadline will be October 15 (or the next business day, if this date falls on a weekend or legal holiday).
Here's the catch: Applying for an extension will help you avoid a failure-to-file penalty as long as you pay before the extension ends. However, if you owe money, you'll likely pay interest and late payment penalties on the amount you owe as of the filing deadline, which means as of April 15 for most of us.
For info about extensions, interest and penalties, check out the IRS' website for guidance.
Surprised by the results of your 2018 tax return? You may want to revisit how much tax you paid, including how much your employer may or may not have taken out based on your W-4.
Signs that you may want to adjust how much you're paying in taxes:
Getting a big refund check in the mail can feel like a bonus, or even a relief. But if you're receiving a big tax refund it may be because you overpaid your taxes during the year. Consider asking a professional about how and if you should change your withholdings because you may be missing an opportunity to use that extra money in other ways throughout the year, like using it to seed an emergency fund in an interest-bearing savings account.
When you owe the IRS money at the end of the year, it may be a sign that you should be paying more in taxes throughout the year. Check your W-4 and any other income sources you have and consider asking an advisor for some guidance.
It's a good idea to check in on your portfolio from time to time to see how your investments are faring.
Here's a list of some of the specific information you should review during your investment checkup:
Assess how your investments have been performing over time. Reassess based on your life goals. If things aren't progressing as well as you'd like, you may want to consider new options.
Look at fees you've been paying. Whether you're managing investments on your own or working with a broker or financial advisor, it's a good idea to keep an eye on how much you're paying in fees. Don't be afraid to ask questions about fees, compare what others charge for similar services, and ask if there are any ways to reduce or avoid fees altogether. Remember, even small fees can add up and take away from any returns your investments earn.
Mother's Day will be here before you know it. Now's the time to secure restaurant bookings and make plans. If you've been inspired to make budget-friendly or handcrafted gifts for the occasion (you know — the kind of things moms love), you'll need some time in advance to create your gifts.
Wedding season will soon be upon us — and although weddings are joyous celebrations, they often come along with the added expense of gifts, flights, hotel stays, wedding-weekend activities, and more.
Now is a good time to start planning ahead and budgeting for these celebrations instead of financing it and having to worry about paying it back.

Idea: Drafts
Posted 16 March 2014 - 01:24 PM
I hear you say, bb, this isn't the sports section. Well, that's true. But hear me out.
We get together, get an order sorted, and draft for certain things.
Say, TV. We get a few different categories together (Sitcom, Drama, Cartoon, etc.), and we pick 'em like a draft for say, a fictional tv channel. We can chat about picks, maybe put the end results up to vote on.
We can do movies, vidya, all that shit. The categories can be altered so as to not be too broad/narrow.
I dunno, I've done it before with friends, and it was pretty fun, so...anyone in?
I'd like to get at least 5 or 6 people, but the more, the merrier.
Questions welcome, and thanks for reading.

Optical imaging uses light for visualization of molecules, cells, and tissues in living organism. Scientists have investigated ways to overcome the intrinsic limitations of optical imaging such as shallow light penetration and spatial resolution. As a result, various optical imaging techniques have been introduced both in biological laboratory and clinical settings. At the KU-Biomedical Optics Laboratory, we build various optical imaging technologies that are useful for monitoring cell-level activities and structural or functional imaging of biological tissues and organs such as brain.
Starting from the technology for the smallest object imaging, we constructed a 3D label free traction microscope based on second harmonic generation (SHG) and two photon fluorescence (TPF) which can quantify the strains caused by a human mesenchymal stem cells in collagen-based extra cellular matrix (ECM).
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been commercialized in the field of ophthalmology and cardiology. It is currently being tested for feasibility in cancer detection, dermatology and image-guided therapy. We have employed an ultrafast optical switch along with several new techniques to fully expand the OCT imaging range in ophthalmology including entire anterior part and the retina, which we call a whole eye imaging. Also, a new angiographic imaging technique for the retinal and choroidal layer is discussed.
Near Infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) is a neuroimaging technique which uses near-infrared light source in the 700-1000 nm range and enables to detect hemodynamic changes (i.e., oxygenated hemoglobin, deoxygenated hemoglobin, blood volume) as a response to various brain processes. In this study, we developed a new, portable, prefrontal fNIRS system which has 12 light sources, 15 detectors and 108 channels with a sampling rate of 5 Hz. It has been widely used in various applications involving brain hemodynamics changes. Examples include characterizing sleep stages, clinical diagnosis of orthostatic intolerance and neurofeedback. We also show that the NIRS can be applied to monitoring brain hemodynamics of freely moving mice.
Intraoperative near infrared fluorescence imaging system has been developed for minimal resection lung cancer surgery. The system of both thoracotomy and thoracoscopic versions provides merged color and NIR fluorescence images simultaneously. The system overcomes poor sensitivity to NIR fluorescence signals aided by custom software in real-time. We successfully conducted sentinel lymph node diagnosis, segmentectomy and cancer margin detection using indocyanine green (ICG) in various porcine organs.

I don't particularly like to go to the grocery store shopping. At one point in my life I actually looked forward to it on Saturday mornings. As a child I went with my mother. I had little choice. My older siblings were pretty much out doing their "Own Thing". There was no way my Dad was going. He was usually busy in the vegetable garden or running errands. Mom didn't trust me home alone, so off to the grocery store we went. I was never really bad, behaviorally, with her, but I became bored pretty quickly, like most children do when they are taken somewhere they don't want to be. She would bribe me to stay close to her by promising me I could select a box of cereal from the cereal aisle or select a candy bar at check-out.
The cereal box was a much better draw for me. There was the chance of a "prize" hidden inside the box, and the week-long benefit of having a sugar-laden cereal "high" daily at breakfast.
When I was a child, no one knew about the poor health risks that were related to eating too much sugar, eating too many fried foods, the dangers of dyes and food colorings, or the ill-effects of residual pesticides in many foods. We purchased and consumed all those items without thought. There were no FDA labels warning us of anything. Looking back, I guess our weekly visit grocery shopping was a hazardous health outing, but it didn't seem so at the time.
As I grew older I graduated to Mom saying, "You don't have to go to the grocery store with me if you don't want to." It was my way out of going. Later, carrying grocery sacks from the car into the house when she returned home was a given expectation. Things didn't change much for me at first after marriage regarding my visits to grocery stores. Though my wife and I were both busy with work, our general, household responsibilities fell into a few main categories. If it broke, either inside or outside our home, I fixed it. I always took out the trash. If it was outside the home or in the yard, I took care of it. If it was inside the home, it was a responsibility that belonged to her. I didn't mind doing the dishes as needed or cooking some meals. At times that might have been a peace offering for something else I did. It could have been an appointment I missed, something important I forgot to tell her about, a check I wrote and forgot to tell her about, or an absent-minded mistake that needed correction. Like most married couples, we settled into responsibility "routines" that we both became comfortable with. The grocery store duties were hers.
Then, I retired.
Retirement meant I had more free time on my hands. I made the mistake once of agreeing to accompany her to the grocery store to pick up, "Just a few items." That's a catch phrase every male in America knows very well. The short outing turned into a $400, two shopping carts full of groceries, hour-long trip. I was pretty much well behaved through the filling of shopping cart number one.
Shopping cart number two was more of a challenge for me. Instead of walking beside her, I fell behind. I looked for something, Anything, of interest to me. We finally passed an aisle displaying magazines. My time there was short-lived though as I was summoned along behind her like a wayward child. Men get that way when bored.
The next ray of sunshine for me illuminated the hardware aisle. They have hardware in a grocery store? I scanned the offerings. A guy can always find something he needs in hardware. I was shocked. Prices were much higher in the grocery store than I saw the same items offered for elsewhere. It was quickly evident that they were preying upon "emergency need" for an item in their pricing.
Hands in pockets I moved on, looking at aisle numbers posted overhead, the items in each aisle printed on the sign that guided novice shoppers.
It was a visible study in luring buyers with beautiful tempting organization. I occasionally exchanged glances with other men dutifully following wives through the maze of shelved items.
They were easily recognizable. They looked disinterested, vacant, mechanical, obedient, and anxious to be set free. We smiled at each other, each knowing the thoughts and mild suffering going through the other's mind.
There were moments of educational enlightenment for me. I learned all about "Bascart Etiquette" and aisle traffic routing. I was amazed at how my wife knew where everything was located in a grocery store the size of a football field. I started reading product labels. Calories and salt content jumped out at me! I quickly discovered that anything you eat or drink has salt in it. That was shocking to me.
I learned about all the "health food" items that aren't in truth, healthy at all. Each outing to the grocery store became slightly less painful and more enjoyable, informative, and more of a loading and unloading challenge in fitting all the grocery sacks and boxed items my SUV. Then one day, an event happened that made me see incredible value in my visits to the grocery store.
I was walking through the produce section, wondering how they timed receiving produce, to selling it before it spoiled. I looked up. An elderly gentleman was following his wife. He shuffled slowly, a few steps behind her. She looked at produce and squeezed and prodded items before placing them in her cart. He was a man of small stature. They both were, with silver-white hair, narrow facial features, and a slow gait. He wore a brown leather jacket as he shuffled along beside her. At times he reached out to support and balance himself on the display cases they were passing.
Our eyes caught, and we smiled at each other. He was obviously a grocery-store-visit "veteran." Then I noticed a small, circular patch of some kind on the breast of his leather jacket. I couldn't quite make it out as we passed each other silently with a friendly nod. I didn't want to stare but was more than curious.
As I took a few more steps, I turned to glance back at the elderly gentleman. There, on the back of his jacket, was a large, embroidered, WWII bomber emblem, in a circle with clouds framing it, featuring more writing I could not make out. I was soon to find out that it was his bomber group information.
He had been stationed in England as a young man, freshly enlisted, shortly after the beginning of World War II. He was trained to be an anti-aircraft gunner. I walked back to him and offered apologies for interrupting him, asking him then if he was, in fact, a World War II veteran. His wife turned and looked at me. Both smiled as he said softly, 'Yes, I fought in the War." I told him it was a real honor to meet him and that I wanted to thank him for his military service. He thanked me for what he called my "Kindness." His wife then said, "He's always been my hero." I smiled and told them he certainly was a hero. He replied, "That was a long time ago, and people don't remember that war anymore. It's faded from memory like most of the men I served with." We spoke for several minutes in what turned out to be a very enjoyable and memorable conversation.
He told me he flew eight missions over Germany in a B-24 Liberator bomber. He was placed in an anti-aircraft, machine gun turret on the nose of the bomber.
"They put me there because I was so small and could fit into it. It was a very tight fit in there with me bundled up with gloves, my boots and flight suit, and a heavy coat to keep me warm", he laughed. "We saw lots of action on those missions. Friends died and were wounded.
Some missions were flown very low over enemy targets. Our "Liberator" bombers flew lower than the larger, "Flying Fortress" bombers. Planes were shot down, and entire crews were lost. We were lucky. We always made it back to our base. Plane damage was repaired, injuries were treated and healed, and soon we were off again to bomb more German targets."
I told him I was sure he wore his jacket very proudly.
"I still have my original bomber jacket at home. This one was given to me on a birthday a few years back. The family had it made up special for me. It was made in China", he spoke, laughing. ''They were an ally of ours in the War. Did you know that?" I told him I learned that in school. He paused then said, "I doubt they teach about World War II in school anymore. The world has changed a lot. Younger people just don't seem to care about history anymore". I told him I cared and was honored to meet him.
He told me that he had attended gatherings for those many airmen and women who served with him in England. "It wasn't just men. Women were stationed and served there too. There aren't that many of us left anymore. We lose more every year, and my health isn't what it used to be. It's not as easy for me to attend them now, but I will never forget the friendships I made and the sacrifices I witnessed. I'm almost ninety-four you know, but things like that, you just never forget."
He was obviously flattered that I recognized and appreciated him. We shook hands and parted. I could have talked to him for hours. The history and patriotism held in that man's heart was both humble and sincere. It is sad to think that all he knows and could share with others will pass quietly with him at some time. He and his wife rounded the corner to enter the next shopping aisle. I never saw him again, but the impression he made on me was a dramatic one.
I was born after World War II as a "Baby-Boomer." In truth, my generation had never known the magnitude of the losses and sacrifices made by those who served in World War II. No war after the Civil War has been fought on Continental-American soil. We are blessed as a nation not to have endured the kind of suffering that enveloped Europe, the South Pacific, and Asia as World War II was waged within those nations.
Though I saw him as a hero, I doubt he saw himself that way at all. He answered a patriotic call at a time when our nation was threatened. He served. He came home and continued his life, but he was changed. How could he NOT be changed after that military experience? We exited the store, and as I was putting grocery items into our car, and it dawned on me that I never introduced myself to him or got his name.
We spoke at length with kindness to each other, with me showing admiration and appreciation for him, as he shared a part of his life with me, but I never got his name. I was more absorbed in his recollections that defined WHO he was as a man, than what his name was. It didn't really matter. It occurred to me that others like him are all around us, not seeking attention, proud of their service in wars past and present that we continue to wage to protect freedom and our way of life.
I just happened to notice him because of his jacket. Without that jacket he would have been just another guy accompanying his wife on a grocery store outing that day like I was. Through a chance meeting with him, I was blessed to discover that he was incredibly more.
My treat for being a "good boy" out grocery shopping that day was a box of chocolate covered almonds.
The best treat that day was meeting my anonymous hero. I wonder what his treat was that he got to take home. I'm sure he got one.
Your age doesn't matter. If you are a man on a grocery store shopping outing, you aren't leaving that store without a reward-treat. It's one of those unwritten laws all men know about, even World War II, Hero-Veterans.
