    Imus Laugh or Not?
    The elements of comedy usually require a surprise, a wet paint bench, an embarrassing mistake or a pratfall for the hero to transcend into the victim and make us laugh. The victimization can run the gamut from good clean fun to lightly-veiled sadistic words meant to destroy the object of the joke. Situational humor is one kind of joke, slapstick is hysterical for some or can become boring ra

    Airport Parking- TRAVELING, What You Need to Know
    If you are planning a vacation or perhaps a business trip that requires you to park your personal automobile for a period of time in an airport, you need to know the ins and outs of what to expect. With the occurrence of terrorist attacks all over the world, the security at airports has increased, so too, has the security of the parking areas that surround the airport.Before you arri
    Being prepared can make a difference between a positive parent/teacher conference and a disaster. When students struggle, it's very easy for both parents and teachers to become defensive and on guard during conferences. If you can help set a positive tone, you will find it much easier to get the information and support you need from the teacher. If you follow some of these suggestions, you will increase the likelihood of a great conference:

    Begin with:

    "_______(my child) is so excited to have you as a teacher. He said the other day __________(something positive your child said about the teacher or the class).

    Then add:

    " I did a little research and found out that you are especially strong at teaching ____________." (Every teacher, even poor ones, have a strength).

    Continue with:

    "We want to be supportive of your efforts in the classroom." If your child has been having difficulty, you might want to say that you know it must be frustrating when children don't progress as quickly as expected. Express a desire to know as much as you can about how your child is doing in class.
