Who is Frank? A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the Cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank." The passenger replies, “Who the hell is Frank?” "Frank Fielding”, replied the cabbie. “He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Fielding every single time."

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow.' Mary Anne Radmacher, author of Lean Forward Into Life
The passenger replied, "There are always a few clouds over everybody." "Not Frank Fielding. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the GrandSlam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy." "Sounds like Frank was something really special!” exclaimed the passenger. Oh said the cabbie, "There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank could do everything right." "Wow, some guy then." The cabbie continued on. "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Fielding." The passenger then asked, "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?" The cabbie replied, "Well, I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his damn wife!" FACEBOOK.COM/WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE

They’re Not Hanging Wright An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution. His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.
You are an unfinished work in progress. One of the good things about life's challenges: You get to find out that you're capable of being far more than you ever thought possible. Karen Salmansohn, author of 38 books on happiness and achievement
As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about, “What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it.” On and on and on the nagging went. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs. While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight. Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news. As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet. “They're not hanging Wright tonight,” she said. He whirled around and screamed, “For the love of God woman, don’t you ever stop!” FACEBOOK.COM/WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE

A $19-a-Month Phone with Unlimited Data, Voice and Texts
A private wireless firm is doing what the big guys can't do (or won't.) Republic Wireless, a private firm in Raleigh, N.C., now has a nocontract service that offers unlimited data, voice and texts on its Android-based smartphone…all for just $19 a month! By far the lowest price offered today, the phone is a bit salty at $249, partly to help offset the low $19 monthly price. That still makes it cheaper than a $200 phone with a $30 to $70 a month contract that includes restrictions on use. Republic also has a $99 phone with a no-contract monthly cost of $29, unlimited. Both plans are available online at republicwireless.com. Unlike other phones, these connect calls and texts over Wi-Fi or to the Internet over Sprint and not the cellular networks. This can cause some loss of clarity. The phones are specially configured to work this way. So, if you’re current phone plan is breaking your bank, it just might be worth taking a look.
TSA Cancels Its Plan To Allow Small Knives On Planes The Transportation Security Administration has rescinded its plan to allow passengers to carry small pocketknives onto airliners. They reversed their earlier decision because of a chorus of complaints from the public, fliers and lawmakers who argued that the move would endanger the flying public. In March, the TSA announced it would allow some pocketknives, hockey sticks, golf clubs and other sports equipment aboard commercial flights. Allowing these items on board was supposed to be a move to free up TSA screeners to focus more on detecting explosives. Since then, virtually every group associated with commercial flying came out against the decision, including flyers, flight attendants, pilots and even TSA screeners. So folks, bring your crosswords to keep busy because there will be no knitting or whittling allowed.
Top Retirement Mistake: Thinking You'll Spend Much Less When that magic retirement day arrives, will you suddenly spend less, while reaping the benefits of your social security, pensions or investments? The answer, yes. You'll spend a little less, but the hard truth is: The less you have, the less you spend. Most retirees have less. According to the Census Bureau, out of 100 people who started working at age 25 and retired by 65, about 63 percent are dependent on Social Security, friends, relatives and charity. Just 4 percent have saved enough to pay for their retirement. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey shows that spending drops 14 percent immediately after retirement because retirees spend less on work related items and food. Even though 53 percent of retirees experience some drop in spending at retirement, 47 percent spend the same, or more. Retirees whose investments give them an equal income often finding they are spending more because they want to travel, shop, play golf, and pursue their hobbies. All of that costs money that was not regularly factored into their budget while working. Add the cost of those activities to inflation, and after the average retirement length of 18 years, savings will be stretched thin. A paid-off house can ease the strain of retirement economics, but the number of homeowners paying off their houses is dwindling. For most retirees, housing and related expenses are the top spending category. According to the Federal Reserve Board, about 25 percent of families headed by someone 75 or older still had a mortgage in 2010. In 1989, just 5.8 percent of the same families had a mortgage. Finally, don't assume you can continue to work into your 70’s and save money for retirement. You might not be healthy enough and, in fact, about 25 percent of retirees are forced out of the workforce for health reasons. Bottom line: start saving folks. It is never too early!
Work Notes…Do Interns Have a Better Shot at Landing a Permanent Job? Business graduates have a great chance of getting a job offer from their summer internship, according to business school placement data.
With employers scouting the business schools, students are under pressure to snag the coveted internships as soon as they enroll.
Banks and consulting firms are well-known to hire from summer internship roles. Companies in other fields are increasingly turning to summer MBA talent when they're ready to make permanent hires. Some lock in candidates almost a year ahead of their graduation date.
According to the Graduate Management Admission Council, about 69 percent of summer interns who apply for full-time positions receive offers. Interns in consulting, finance and accounting have even higher compensation rates. Now that’s some advice to take to the bank.

ASK A WINO... Driving Under Making a Healthy Choice The Speed Limit is Dangerous A State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!” So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don’t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?” Ma’am,” the officer replies, you weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers.” Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two miles an hour!” the old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22” was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Ma’am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven’t muttered a single peep this whole time,” the officer asks. Oh, they’ll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119.”

The Diagnosis One day, a man was complaining to his friend about how much his elbow ached and that he was thinking of seeing a doctor. His friend said, “Don’t do that. There’s a computer at the local shopping center that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. And it only costs $10.00!”
My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long university education that I never had - every day I'm learning something new. Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of Virgin Group, more than 400 companies
The man figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing and, after a brief pause, popped out a small slip of paper which read: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water, avoid heavy labor. It will be better in two weeks. That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this computer could be fooled. So, he decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction. Then, he went back to the store and located the computer, poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00. The machine again made the usual noises, flashed its lights and printed out the following analysis: Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with antifungal shampoo. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don’t stop jerking off, your elbow will never get better!
73rd Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
Motorcycle enthusiasts, collectors and riders worldwide have marked August 5-11, 2013, on their calendars since last August. They'll gather with half million others in the town of Sturgis, South Dakota, for one of the biggest and most famous of all motorcycle rallies in the world. Sturgis has a population of only 7,000, but manages to host this metropolitan-sized party with practiced ease. It makes room for over 800 venders selling everything from fried chicken and burgers to tattoos, anything leather, fancy jewelry and brew. Oh, and they demo every type of bike on the market and sell all manner of things to gussy them up. When people think of bikers, a vision of the Hells Angels often comes to mind. The burly, whiskered riders strike a heart-stopping moment as they roar through town by the dozen. Although outlaw clubs make their presence known, there are also many teachers, doctors, lawyers and all sorts of other workers who just like to enthuse over the candy store atmosphere. For adults who love the history of cycles and find custom-designed bikes exotic and awesome, the bars big enough for bikers to ride cycles through, massive crowds and rowdiness make dealing with the din worth the trip. For newcomers, Sturgis is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Bikers have the chance to participate in an organized ride through the spectacular Black Hills with the mayor and other dignitaries,

POOL NEWS Impress Your Friends With This Months Trick Shot

Make 5 balls with one shot
Cheating at Pool is normally frowned
A lot of tricks are created through screwing around and setting up plays, this one I believe was invented that way, probably in some ones basement, or in the smoky atmosphere of a billiard hall one lazy afternoon. As with most trick shots the set up is important, probably more so with this one. If you follow the diagram you should be good to go. Strike the cue ball with slight bottom English and with medium pace.

upon, and more so in a regular game, and especially with the use of props. This shot I think is the best with the use of the rack.
Then watch all the balls disappear down the pockets. Trial and error helps this trick along , a tip would be to make sure the rack is angled correctly to make the top side rail and top corner pocket shots. As usual practice before you launch this on an audience WWW.WHATSUPXTRA.COM

AUGUST HOROSCOPE ARIES: In conversations with your boss, good vibes seem to be there all the time. While it seems as though good luck is the cause, it's your good work that's appreciated.
LIBRA: Keep an eye out for spontaneous bursts of creativity. Make a note of the bright idea you have when relaxing outdoors or in the quiet time while sitting by a lake.
TAURUS: When teaching a coworker to take on one of your duties, be careful not to be too intent. Give instructions, but inject a little lightheartedness once in a while.
SCORPIO: When you think about your future, make your health a prime consideration. If you take good care of your body now, it could last you a lifetime.
GEMINI: Practice being more diplomatic when discussing a situation. Avoid blaming a person when something goes wrong. Focus on fixing the problem instead.
SAGITTARIUS: When it comes to financial matters, you may not be an expert. But if you stay anchored on your plans for the future, you'll discover you're an expert after all.
CANCER: An upcoming surprise could be good or not-sogood. It depends on what you read into it. Take the high road and you can find some advantages in it for you. LEO: At a gathering over the Labor Day Weekend, the role of peacemaker may fall to you, or at least it seems that way. Friendships could be at stake, so do what you can. VIRGO: Don't let the hot Dog Days of summer get you down. Go to cool places to revitalize yourself. Then remember that you love your work and get back to it.
FACEBOOK.COM/WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE
CAPRICORN: It's summertime, and love is in the air. Whether you have a partner or are looking for one, keeping love in mind, or the prospect of it, will take you far. AQUARIUS: Don't leave your creativity at the workplace. Take it home and do some decorating. It could mean painting, hanging a picture or finding new pillows for the sofa. PISCES: As it should be, your friends are important to you. Don't be too busy to get together with them. Think of a friend you haven't contacted in a while and call.

Deciding to take a day off from his important job, a young broker went back to visit some of his old professors. Entering the school, he saw a dog attacking a small child. He quickly jumped on the dog and strangled it. The next day, the local paper reported the story with the headline "Valiant Student Saves Boy From Fearsome Dog." The broker called the editor of the paper and strongly suggested that a correction be issued, pointing out that he was no longer a student, but a successful Wall Street broker. The paper issued a correction, with a headline that read, "Pompous Stock Broker Kills School Mascot."
Minister Takes An Airplane Flight A minister was seated next to a cowboy on a flight to Texas. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The cowboy asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather lose my soul to lust than let liquor touch my lips." The cowboy then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me too. I didn't know we had a choice."
Attention Golfers
The State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and golfers to be on the alert for bears this year. They advise people to attach noise-producing devices, such as little bells, on their clothing to alert bears but not startle them. They also advise carrying pepper spray in case of an encounter. You should be able to recognize the presence of bears in an area by their droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berry residue and possibly squirrel fur. Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

Football Season is Here Once Again!
G.O. Fitz DJ Dance Party on 2 Level Dance Floor
Pre-season football is the ugly prom date amid an otherwise beautiful orgy of gridiron action.
Great Sound
It’s actually exhibition football, but the NFL frowns upon the use of the term. So we’re stuck calling it pre-season football. It’s one way the league gets away with charging you full price for a partial product. Yes, we know: a bunch of guys at the bottom of the roster are fighting for their football lives. But the guys you care to watch will spend most the day on the sidelines cheerleading. And let’s face it, Robert Griffin III doesn’t look so great in a skirt. Don’t miss the first preseason game between Miami and Dallas at Fawcett Stadium on Sunday, August 8th at 7:00pm CT on NBC.
A Man’s Best Friend
A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 Feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.
& Light G.O. FITZ IS AVAILABLE FOR PARTIES & SOCIAL EVENTS OF ALL TYPES AND SIZES FROM 10 - 300 GUESTS. PACKAGE DEALS AVAILABLE INCLUDING FOOD, BAR, DJ & DECORATIONS. FOR MORE DETAILS & PRICING CALL OUR CATERING DEPARTMENT AT 708-671-0700
The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said: "I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" The man replies, "My wife's." ''What happened to her?" asked the concerned onlooker. "She yelled at me and my dog attacked and killed her." He inquired further, "But who is in the second hearse?" The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her." A very poignant and touching moment of brotherhood and silence passed between the two men. "Can I borrow the dog?"

BOOK REVIEW
Bestseller Challenges Thinking About the Future You know that kid who is fantastic with a joy stick and video game? Maybe he is just practicing skills for his future as a surgeon. Surgery could be done with a joystick. It could be done from a control room thousands of miles away. And the kid who plays video games might just grow up to be that surgeon behind the camera. Things are changing, and fast. Author Randy Gage shares his ideas about how things will change and how prosperity will be built in the future. Risky is the New Safe: The Rules Have Changed is a book designed to give businesspeople (or any person) some warnings and some hot tips about what is to come. Gage says fast changes in technology and economic upheaval are changing the game. Gage serves up the usual doom and gloom about the future, so common in books today: The Euro and precious metals will collapse along with oceanfront real estate. Social programs will expand, trapping vast number of people in ignorance and poverty. All this, he predicts, will cause economic collapse. But he is also optimistic, predicting that the rules will change and have changed. Does your kid really need an MBA? In the future, which Gage predicts is close; the average student will just pick a study niche: Game development or operating surgical equipment. In Gage's future, seeing the world differently is the key to wealth in a world of economic woes. A high school dropout, the self-made Gage has been dubbed "The Millionaire Messiah" because he believes you should be rich. Risky is the New Safe: The Rules Have Changed by Randy Gage, Wiley, $24.95 at bookstores, discounted online and available for Kindle and other readers.

Hot Trends in Alcohol Sales for 2013 The Straw Stripper
Onsite Barrel Aged Cocktails Emphasis on locally made spirits is all the rage for 2013. For centuries spirits were stored in barrels, out of necessity, for storage and transportation. Today, the resurgence of barrel aging liquor, began in London. Aging mixed drinks in wooden barrels imparts unique flavors, depending on the wood used.
Culinary Cocktails A hot, hot trend for 2013 are cocktails made with complicated recipes, mixing traditional spirits with freshly squeezed juice, nectars, whole fruits and vegetables and herbs. For example, a bartender (aka Mixologist) may dress up a traditional mojito by adding fresh lemongrass, to create a whole new taste. Traditional Cocktails Tried and true, the Martini, Manhattan, Old Fashion – have a simplicity and elegance that will no doubt keep them on the bar menu long after above mentioned muddled lemon grass mojito hits 2013 Yesterday’s News.
TurboTap

Bad Jimmy
Little Jimmy’s father took him to class his first day of school. Jimmy’s Dad pulled the teacher aside and told her Jimmy has a bad gambling problem so please don't make a bet with him you can't win. The teacher agreed. When the teacher was passing out the text books Jimmy said, “Teacher I'll make a bet with you”. She replied, “Okay what?” Jimmy said, “I'll bet you fifty dollars I can tell you what color panties you have on”.
She agreed and told him after the last bell he was to stay in the room and then he could guess. While Jimmy and the class were at recess the teacher took her panties off and put them in her purse. When school was out Jimmy stayed in the classroom and the teacher locked the door and said, “Okay Jimmy what color are they?” He replied, “Yellow”. So the teacher raised her dress and said, “No you’re wrong, I'm not wearing any”. Jimmy asked her to walk him out to his dad’s car and he would get her money. So, as Jimmy passed his dad going to the car the teacher told his father that Jimmy finally got beat. He said, “What do you mean?” She said, “Jimmy bet me fifty dollars he could tell me what color panties I had on so I took them off”.
As Long As It Fits A Camel
Two elderly ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke, when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette, and continued smoking. The other lady asked, "What's that?" "A condom," the lady responded. "This way my cigarette doesn't get wet." "Where did you get it?" the other lady asked. "You can get them at any drugstore." The next day, the second lady hobbled herself down to the local drugstore and announced to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looked at her kind of strangely (after all she was over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers. "It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel."
The father replied, “That son of a bitch he bet me a hundred dollars he could see your privates before the end of the day!” FACEBOOK.COM/WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE
