Find the appropriate venue to host a wet T-shirt contest. If you are a bar or club owner, pick a night of the week that is normally slow, since a wet T-shirt contest is likely to bring in more business. If you don't own a place to host the contest, contact local bars and clubs that normally attract college students and ask if they would be interested in allowing you to run wet T-shirt contests in their establishments as a way to bring in more business.
Choose a date to hold the wet T-shirt contest. Assuming the contest is a success, it would be a good idea to have the contest on the same date each month or same night each week, depending on how often you'd like to have it. Holding the contest on a consistent basis and advertising it with posters and flyers will help create a crowd of regular attendees, ensuring a decent-sized audience each time you hold it.
Determine the best time for the contest to begin. It's a good idea to hold the wet T-shirt contest later in the evening, preferably around midnight, so that bar patrons have enough time to down a few drinks before it starts. The wet T-shirt contest should be only about one hour or less in length, so it shouldn't be a problem to schedule it around other events or entertainment being held the same night.
Establish the process for entering the contest. You should have a sign-up sheet prepared in advance and bring a clipboard and pens with you to the bar or club. Some wet T-shirt contests also require that contestants pay a small fee to compete, which usually includes the price of a T-shirt to be provided for each contestant.
Bring a CD of upbeat music to play during the wet T-shirt contest. Many clubs and bars will have DJs, so you may not need to provide music. Still, it's best to be prepared with your own soundtrack, just in case.
Decide how the winner will be chosen. Most of the time, the winner is considered to be the contestant who receives the most applause from the crowd, but you will need to have someone be the judge of who receives the most support based on audience response.

How to Be a Good EmceeIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Practice an introduction and the names of any people or places that you are going to have to announce while you are on stage. Messing up an introduction can set a negative tone for the rest of the night. Additionally, pronouncing a name wrong is embarrassing and unprofessional.
Review the timeline for the evening and know how long you are supposed to be on stage. A good host is in control of the flow of action throughout the event.
Walk on the stage with energy and a smile on your face. The crowd will not get excited unless you are.
Speak clearly and directly into the microphone so everyone can understand you. Additionally, make sure anyone you are speaking with also talks into the mic.
Ask the audience questions and develop back-and-forth banter with the crowd. This is most effective when the audience setting is intimate, meaning the people are visible and close to you. In larger crowds it may be easier to just stick with pre-planned material.
Select material that will be appropriate for the crowd that you will be talking to. For example, the jokes that you would tell in front of a group of young adults may be different than the jokes you would use for an audience of small children.
Introduce whoever is following you by first listing their accomplishments or notable achievements. End your introduction with the person or group's name, as the audience will use that as a cue to begin applauding.

How to Watch Satellite TV Online For FreeIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Make sure you have the right operating system on your computer to watch satellite TV online for free. You need to have Windows 95 through XP.
Check to be sure your PC has a Pentium 3 CPU, and is able to process at 333 MHz or more. A good video card, sound card, and a pretty good-sized screen can help as well. Add on some speakers to enhance the experience and you're good to go.
Do a search for free satellite TV by putting in 'watch satellite TV online' or something similar. You can also go directly to sites such as World TV PC and BeeLine TV (see Resources).
Find software for your TV that allows you to watch satellite TV on your PC for free. Once you have paid for the software, you can watch hundreds of satellite TV channels without paying for them. Be careful, though-some of the software may be part of a scam. Research the software before you buy.

How to Connect to WiFi at Starbucks for FreeIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
As of publication, Starbucks is in the process of switching from AT&T to Google Wi-Fi services. Locations still using AT&T offer Wi-Fi with the SSID 'attwifi,' while Google locations use the SSID 'Google Starbucks.' Even if it has 'Starbucks' in the name, don't connect to any other networks you find in the area -- they aren't legitimate Starbucks connections.
Windows Public Wi-Fi Settings
Unsecured public Wi-Fi like that offered by Starbucks requires some careful settings within Windows to protect your system. When setting up the connection, choose the
Public network option and select the
Turn off network discovery and
Turn off file and printer sharing radio buttons to switch off all file and device-sharing options in order to limit access to your computer's files on this network.
Virtual Private Networks
Setting up a virtual private network is a good way to prevent your connection from eavesdropping. VPNs create encrypted connections between two points on a network, namely your computer and a website. Without the VPN's decryption key, it's extremely difficult for hackers to decode any data they intercept. SecurityKISS, CyberGhost VPN and VPNBook are all free VPN services that offer a secure, encrypted connection between your computer and online resources like websites and chat clients. These services are generally very similar, differing primarily in how they encrypt the connections and how much data can be transmitted over the connection per day.
Secure Website Connections
Secure websites are also very useful for preventing information theft while on Starbucks Wi-Fi. You can tell websites are secure by checking the URL for a 'HTTPS' prefix, as well as a little lock icon in the address bar. Chrome, Firefox and Opera also have extensions like HTTPS Everywhere, SSL Enforcer and ForceHTTPS, which automatically enable security features like HTTPS or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption or block sites without these features. While relying completely on these extensions and HTTPS-enabled websites won't guarantee safety using a public connection, they can be useful tools when used with other safety measures.
Sensitive Information
Generally, you should never use public Wi-Fi to look at sensitive information like bank accounts or credit cards. Even taking all the precautions you can, there is still a chance of data interception and identity theft. Access sensitive information only on trusted, secured networks.
Other Safety Tips
Never access public Wi-Fi connections without up-to-date anti-virus and anti-malware software, and, whenever possible use two-factor authentication. Whenever you're not using the connection, switch your computer to airplane mode or switch off Wi-Fi to prevent unauthorized access via the network. Also, delete the connection from your connection list when you're done, unless you use the Wi-Fi at that particular Starbucks frequently.
