	<p>[poll id="3"] As an Illinois resident and a die-hard cubs fan I have to choose the Cubs.  Senator Obama, to me is just another politician running for an office. Granted it&#8217;s the presidency, but in another four years we will have somebody else challenging that President.  Who knows how long it will take the Cubs to get to the World Series. We need to enjoy it now! If you&#8217;re a regular reader of this blog then you  know I work [...]</p>

	<p>Trade shows are one of the best mechanisms for increasing brand recognition to your customers. Unlike any other form of media, trade shows allow companies to pitch their product or service directly to their target audience &#8211; both current and new. The cost per lead is relatively low in comparison to other forms of media marketing.  A good giveaway can create a lasting impression long after the show. By branding a trade show giveaway, it ensures delegates will remember your company [...]</p>

	<p>Early this year California politician Jack Scott was on a crusade to ban the sale of Mylar balloon at retail stores by introducing California SB 1499.  According to Scott, at the request of Burbank officials concerned that business, including major movie studios, are losing power too frequently because of Mylar balloon-triggered outages. After pressure from the balloon industry, the SB 1499 bill has been amended and is passing through the assembly and will go to the Senate for approval and [...]</p>

Another study by the American Medical Association found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud to be an American. I&#8217;ll drink to that! You may think balloons are only for kids, but Dale&#8217;s multiple balloon twisting is not your normal balloon [...]</p>
