1) A brand is just a logo Unfortunately, that’s not quite right. A brand is a customer’s complete experience with the product or company. Or quoting Ze Frank, it’s the “emotional aftertaste” that comes after an interacting with your product, service or company. Therefore, a brand is so much more than just a logo. Yes, a logo is a fairly important part of the brand, but it’s only just part of a bigger whole. Branding is the process of finding your company’s traits and voice then translating them not only onto your logo, but to your website, packaging, signage, customer services, PR and various other facets of your business that your customers come into contact with. In doing so, you can influence what people think and feel about your business. On the flip side, if you don’t take control of it, you are actually leaving customers to figure your brand out for themselves. And that is a...

This is part of the Friday, May 12, 2017, News Roundup from the Austin Chronicle. This is not an opinion piece, this is supposed to be news reporting. How can this person even have a job at a news organization let alone be allowed to write news reports? Seriously, the editor who allowed this, “(read: bigoted Christian)”, to pass should be fired also. I quote: “After two delays, the House took up HB 3859 on May 9. One of the most powerful religious liberty bills filed this session, HB 3859 would let child welfare providers deny foster care and adoption rights to queers, Muslims, Jews, and more, due to “religious” (read: bigoted Christian) beliefs. After several hours of debate, the House passed the bill, filed by Rep. James Frank, R-Wichita Falls, by a vote of 94-51.” Everyone knows this paper is a worthless rag but goodness. It is wonderful when...

but the answer to the authors question is also quite obvious. It is legal because those who would make it illegal and those who could make it impossible are no more virtuous than the those who cheat just because it is not illegal and all of them are corrupt beyond measure. Stunning nonetheless. After You Read This Article, Forget About it and Go Back to Sleep Bloomberg is reporting on a curious real estate transaction in Chicago and an antenna in an open field, that was erected in order to permit a small group of traders gain a marked advantage over everyone else. Let’s have a look, shall we? Tremendous, beautiful antenna, believe me So you’re wondering, ‘what the f is that?’ That nondescript pole on a flat 31 acre plot of undeveloped land is in close proximity to the CME Group. It is owned by a Jump Trading affiliate called ‘World Class Wireless’,...

The following is a list of self-identified GOP congressman who are really democrats. Texas is a great state and it will be even greater once we get rid of these corrupt, bought-and-paid-for LIARS. If you find your congressman on the list and don’t believe he is corrupt just do a little investigating and you will find that someone owns him. Ask yourself this, why would someone donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to elect a man or woman to a position that only pays $6000/yr?. If your rep is on this list just go and see where their money came from and you will find the corrupting influence. If your rep is on this list I can guarantee you someone owns them and they are not working for your bust interests but for the interests of their owners. Religious bigotry? Do you see your “GOP” rep’s name highlighted? These are the ones who voted with lib extremists to deny...

Good heavens, ladies. If you CHOOSE to let some irresponsible male have his way with you you have already made your CHOICE. If you can’t keep your legs together and you CHOOSE not to take the pill you already made your CHOICE there. If you CHOOSE men who do not take responsibility for their own sperm you have already made your CHOICE and it is hardly a wonder you support abortion since if you got your self into the position of needing one you have already proven that you are incapable of making anything but bad CHOICES so why not make the worst choice of your life and commit murder. At least you have a home in the democrat party where, according to the new chair, you MUST support a women’s right to murder her child as well as her right to CHOOSE to be irresponsible, to CHOOSE to bed irresponsible men,  to CHOOSE not to use birth control and to CHOOSE to spread her legs...
