You Must Present This Coupon At Time Of Service. This Coupon Expires On 07/31/2018.

History of the 4th Of July Variously known as the Fourth of July and

Independence Day, July 4th has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution (1775-1783). In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with typical festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. The tradition of patriotic celebration became widespread after the War of 1812, in which the United States again faced Great Britain. In 1870, the United States Congress made July 4th a federal holiday; in 1941, the provision was expanded to grant a paid holiday to all federal employees. Over the years, the political importance of the holiday would decline, but Independence Day has remained an important national holiday and a symbol of patriotism.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream July is National Ice Cream Month and was proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in

1984. Whatever flavor or topping you choose, you can be sure if you don’t eat it quick enough it will become one sticky mess. But do you know why ice cream melts so fast?

One of the reasons for fast melting ice cream is due to temperature. I know, an obvious one right? The basis is because cold and warm objects have energy. The warmer an object is, the more energy it has. Think of it this way…when you are eating cold ice cream in your hot backyard, it quickly begins absorbing energy. It’s the typical cold versus hot scenario. Once a certain amount of energy is absorbed, the ice cream starts melting.

Did you know that ingredients play a factor in your melting ice cream? Cream, sugar, eggs and tasty treats like chocolate chips, cookie dough or fudge go into ice cream. However, did you know that one of the most important ice cream ingredients is fat. Fat gives it the creamy texture but it will also determine how fast the ice cream melts. That is one of the main reasons why nonfat or low fat ice cream melts slower. It contains more water than the full bodied ice cream that is full of fatty goodness. In addition, nonfat or low fat versions contain more air whipped into them, which allows them to keep their shape longer.

So the next time you enjoy your favorite tasty treat, remember it all begins with the ingredients.

CEOs without a desk When your laptop is your desk and your mobile is your work phone, do you really need a corner office? Some

CEOs say no and hence the new trend of the wandering boss.

At the San Francisco headquarters of Indiegogo, each of its 130 employees has a desk. Slava Rubin, the CEO, isn't one of them. "I want to show I'm available. I love to pop into discussions and hear that unfiltered information," Rubin says. According to Fortune.com, he walks into meetings and uses his iPhone to delegate tasks and stay engaged. Some top execs work alongside rank-and-file employees in open-plan offices.

Scott Heiferman, CEO of Meetup. com doesn't have a desk. Nor does HubSpot co-founder and COO JD Sherman.

Professor's The Last Lecture' Tells A Story About How To Live

It's not unusual for retiring professors to give a last lecture. When Carnegie Mellon University's Randy Pausch gave his, in 2007, he wasn’t retiring. He was dying of pancreatic cancer.

His now famous lecture was viewed by millions on YouTube. It inspired many to follow Pausch's advice about what is important in life. Now he has a book. The Last Lecture (Hyperion), with coauthor Jeffrey Zaslow.

The father of three small children, Pausch said in a USA Today interview, "I was trying to put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children." From his lecture. Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, here are a few of his points about life:

Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun every day because there's no other way to play it.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

No one is pure evil. Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough and people will surprise you.

It's not about achieving your dreams but about living your life. If you live the right way, the dreams will come.

We can't change the cards we're dealt, just how we play the hand.

In an interview with amazon.com, Pausch says the thing he learned as he grew older was that you can’t get anywhere without help. Ask yourself: What kind of person do people want to help? Then you'll know the answer to: What kind of person should I try to be?

Hearing what other people say about you is important to your success and happiness.

His book is humorous while allowing him to tell of his life experiences and the lessons he learned. For one: The secret of winning the stuffed animal on the midway, like most anything else, is sheer persistence. But it helps to have long arms and discretionary income. Randy died July 25th, 2008.

Don't Overdo It On Vacation Many people come back from an action-packed

vacation needing another one to recover from it; therefore, vacations can often become stressful. If your intention is to rest and relax, do not plan too many activities for yourself. A good rule of thumb, particularly for families with small children, is no more than two activities a day.
