A Better Variety of Food Because of Coupons
I am all about saving money. I am a single mother raising two boys, so it is something that is necessary to do if I am going to make my paycheck stretch to cover all of our bills. One of the ways that I do this is by using printable manufacturer coupons at the grocery store. I don't qualify for any government assistance because I make just a few dollars more than the minimum allowed, so I had to get creative on ways to save money at the store. I did not want my boys eating beans and rice for every meal, and now they have a really nice variety because of the coupons that I use.
I am able to print them at work since I don't have a computer at home. My boss doesn't mind because he knows my situation, and I get all of my work done too. His wife also uses coupons, and they are at the other end of the financial spectrum, so it is interesting to see that people of all walks of life use them. [Read more →]

Radical Penetration of New Markets
Finding the right person to help build your business idea into a successful company is harder than you may at first suppose. Many of us decide to take on a business partner for a variety of reasons; most of which seem valid and justified at the time – even crucial to the successful birth and growth of the business. Few of us have the foresight to pause and consider the long-term implications of our decisions and choices – until it is too late. This is why I began looking into SHEEO after my long time girlfriend suggested that I might find some unique and promising approaches to my business model with their help.
A strategic alliance is a relationship that is formed to increase visibility and generate new business in a more cost effective and efficient manner. These relationships can be as formal or informal as you want. My suggestion is to start exploring these opportunities on an informal basis. It will keep it cost effective and efficient for both parties. [Read more →]

Trying to Figure Something out
This is something I have thought about a couple of times, but it did not seem all that practical until recently. I am curious as to how possible it would be for me to retire a couple of years early. Of course the big thing would be whether or not I would have enough money and switching to a private health insurance plan. So I am looking at 2014 medicare advantage plans and wondering how good an approximation that will be to the price it is going to be in about six to nine years. [Read more →]

Getting the Home of Our Dreams
My husband and I both have really great jobs, but we decided to wait to buy a house until we had paid off our student loan bills. We wanted the freedom to get exactly the house that we wanted, which we were able to find quite easily once we made the final payments on the student loans. The house we wanted was over half a million dollars, but we both knew that it was the house that we would live in for the rest of our lives. This was possible because of http://www.jumboloanmortgages.net, which is a website where we learned about jumbo loans.
We knew that the amount we were going to borrow was a lot more than what traditional loans cost. Even with our down payment, we were still going to have a loan in excess of 600,000 dollars. We definitely qualified for a jumbo loan because of our income and credit scores, but we wanted to still get the best rates possible. We had looked at quite a few different options, but it was through that website that we found what we were looking for. [Read more →]

A Free Trial for Pairs Trading
I knew that I wanted to look into online trading, but I was not sure at first which direction I was going to go with it. There were just so many different options available to me, and I carefully looked at each of my options. I decided that pairs trading was a safe way for me to test the so called waters to see if I liked online trading. What appealed to me the most with this is that it does not matter which way the market is going with this kind of trading.
Most investors and traders only want to see prices going up, but I saw where falling stocks can be an advantage to traders too if they understand what they are doing. I have been following the stock market for many years, so I was not a complete newbie to how everything works. [Read more →]

Went Ahead and Got One of Those Fancy Coffee Makers
Of course I was always a big coffee drinker, I started out when I was still in high school. At that time I used to stay out way too late at night and then in the morning I would get up and have to go to High School. I had a great girlfriend for a teenaged boy, she never said no to a night out and pretty much wanted to be with me all the time, although that burnt out quickly. At any rate I needed coffee a lot. Now I went and found promotional codes and coupons and got myself one of those really nice coffee makers, although I suppose you can spend a whole lot more mone than the one I got cost. [Read more →]

Printing Coupons Saves Me a Lot of Money
I like shopping, but I do it smartly. I do not buy things we will not use for ourselves or give as gifts. I also look for savings opportunities for anything I buy. That is why I always look for promo codes or coupons, especially for my favorite store. Before I go out to shop, I always look online for a bed bath and beyond coupon for 2015 to use on whatever it is I am buying.
I look for percent off my total purchase coupons when I am buying a few things. If I am buying one item, I typically will either look for a coupon for the actual product or a percentage off a single item. You can often find a big savings for those percentage off one item coupons. I also look for coupons that do not have any restrictions. This way if I find something already reduced in the store, I can still use my coupon on it to save even more. I can often get the things I want paying only a fraction of the full retail price by simply spending a few minutes acquiring a good coupon or two.
I make it a point to never go out shopping unless I am armed with savings coupons. I do not think I have made a purchase for a very long time without using a coupon. I save a lot of money by using them. It frees up the money to be used in other ways. It also increases my buying power when I do go shopping. I can get a lot more for a lot less. Who wouldn't want to do that? Some folks don't bother to look for or use coupons. I'd reason that if they actually realized the amount of money they are losing by not using them, they would quickly change their minds.

I Am on My Way to My Dream Career
It took me many years to figure out what I wanted to do with my life career-wise. I first entered college with the hope of becoming a psychologist. After learning just how crowded that field is, I changed my focus. My dad told me that I should get a finance and business degree in order to apply at Warwick Associates where he works. I had always enjoyed dad sharing stories about his work, so I began to think he had a good point.
First, I went to work with him one day to see what exactly he does in person. It was one thing to hear him talk about it over the years, but quite another to see him in action. We spent a good portion of the day in his office while he pointed out what he was doing on the computer, phone calls, etc. [Read more →]

How Do You Go About Getting an Internship
I have started thinking about how to go about getting an internship. I was not sure what sort of one I was looking for, but I happened to check out youtube and I found a couple of videos on the topic. One was by this place called Warwick associates and they were in the Investment Banking business. Of course they were talking about how to impress the people that you were the one they should pick. It is pretty obvious that the internships that are most worth having are going to be the ones that are the toughest to get hold of. [Read more →]

Amazing Trading Tools and Technology
It should be obvious that it is no coincidence that some of the world's most rich people are involved in the stock market. Investing money is a great way to make profit, especially if you do it the right way. Of course, in the old days this may have simply meant being smart and thinking trades through, but now it has a lot to do with tools and technology. The bottom line is that while overall the system has become way more complicated, tools like Instaforex make it easier to make a trade than ever.
Of course this has its benefits and its downsides at the same time, starting with the obvious fact that it makes it so almost anyone can get involved with stock trading. This means that you do not have to have a huge investment portfolio or spend tons of time on it, but can instead just jump in and try to play the game. [Read more →]

The Details of Getting a Good Loan
It can be pretty hard to live in a world and society that is largely based around the distribution of money. The news and media have been reporting more and more on the wealthy elite and their way of life, but most of us live in a far different reality. This reality contains many restrictions about what people can do or how they live, often based around the limitations of their finances. Of course in some cases it is possible to overcome these restrictions and make things happen, but financial constraints are often best handled by using a moneylender.
The idea is that while a person's salary may make it possible to afford something after saving, it is sometimes necessary to get a little help to buy it sooner. This is especially common with large purchases like automobiles or homes, where the time it takes to pay it off can last for years. Rather than having to wait for years to buy a car, a loan upfront can make it possible to own right away. Of course this leaves the owner on the hook to continue making payments over time, but in many cases this is the much better option.
Ultimately it is a personal decision, as loans can be a little scary in some cases. It requires a lot of discipline to ensure that the payments can be made regularly and on time, otherwise things like repossession or other consequences will come into play. It is also important to carefully research and consider all of the terms before accepting a loan, since nobody wants to get caught off guard about the money they owe or how they have to pay it. Going into this situation with a smart outlook on setting up will be worth it in the long run, as loans are not something to take lightly.

Doing the Math on This Loan
Doing the math on this loan and trying to figure out if the risk is low enough and the reward is high enough. That is the name of the game after all. You go to any licensed money lender and sit down at the desk, they are looking at you in this sort of cold hard calculus and you have to be making the same machinations in your own head. In most cases if you get a good fair rate on a loan you are not going to be paying a high interest rate. That is based in the theory that you are not daft enough to do a business deal on one of those extraorbitant credit card type rates. I think once I was sitting at this guy's house. He opened up one of those credit card offers and told me what the rate was on it. I immediately offered to lend him money for a good deal less interest rate. I mean these rates are not even moral they are so high above what the bank will charge any person with decent credit.
Of course you would love to lend money to people at over twenty percent interest. That is like stealing. If you lend some guy a thousand dollars and you plan on him paying you back twelve hundred bucks, that pretty much makes you the thing right below a loan shark. Of course a loan shark is going to have a guy who starts hurting the customer who is slow paying back that interest. They call it the vig or vigorish I believe. At any rate it is not in this equation. I am thinking that I can borrow money for a fraction of that and get a return twice as high as the rate I pay.

Information About Rollover with Gold IRA
I want to find out information about a good gold IRA custodians for rollover of a previous retirement account, because I think that gold is more stable and that I will be more likely to actually have a good amount of money saved up to pay for my retirement. One of my biggest concerns is that I have enough money to make it through my retirement, without being broke, or anything like that. It would be rather depressing to have to live out my retirement in poverty, and that is what I want to avoid more than anything else.
I know that I will have a good decade more of work ahead of me, before it is time for me to retire. I might have even longer than that, but I am going to estimate it low, in the interests of making sure that I am making a conservative estimate. I feel like that is the best way to go about that. I am not sure how much I will need to make it through my retirement, of course, because I have no real way of knowing exactly how long I am going to live.
I guess that nobody really knows how long their retirement is going to be, and the best thing that they are able to do, is to just guess. So that is what I am going to have to do, even though I wish I had a more definite answer to the question. I suppose that i will try to think of some factors to consider if I do end up living a very long time. I really like the idea of investing in gold though, because I have never seen it drop in price, as long as I have been alive. I am sure of that.

Great Brokers for Trading Binary Options
I have decided that I am going to try to get into a new type of trading in the near future. It seems like it could be lucrative, but i must admit that I do not a whole about it yet. I am hoping to learn more, and to also find a broker that will trade this new type of stock with me. Well, it isn't a stock exactly, that is not the correct way of describing it. Rather, I am looking for binary options brokers and I hope that I can find one that will not charge me a whole lot for transactions.
I have no idea how much the typical fees are for this type of transaction though. [Read more →]

Payday Loans with One Week Term
I have had a series of disasters beset me in the last couple of days, and now I am in a situation where I need to spend a couple of hundred dollars that I do not actually have at the moment. It is kind of a terrible situation, but it is a situation that I need to figure out how to get myself out of. I would like to look for short term payday loans because I do not see another way for me to get out of this situation, other than to take out of some sort of loan against my next paycheck.
It is something that I would rather not do, but as I have already said, I do not see myself as having much of a choice. [Read more →]

Just Got Back from Alberta
I just got back from Calgary this morning. Of course it seems odd to have gone from the cool weather of the Canadian Great Plains to the blazing heat of West Texas. I had not forgotten how hot it was down this way, but I had forgotten how to deal with it the right way I suppose. At any rate I have been in the middle of nowhere, making great money and not spending it much. So I have managed to get my retirement plan a lot closer to fruition. This site, http://www.goldiraassociation.com is something I am looking at right now, because I figure that I am getting close to the point where my investments are going to be enough for me to live on once I get my place down on the Gulf of Mexico.

Why Choose USDA Home Loans
There are all kinds of home loans out there so your family can get a place to live that you all can call your own. I have heard of loans for soldiers and other types of loans. However, most people think of a loan for buying a home and having to come up with a big down payment. Well, that is not the case if you are hoping to buy a property in a rural area, and if you decide to get one of the usda home loans.
The United States Department of Agriculture does not just do farm subsidies and monitoring of the huge agro business infrastructure. No, they are also in the business of providing home loans for families who have decided they desire to move into a rural area. The big incentive is that the USDA home loans will finance 100 percent of the sale.

Will Middlebrooks understands the deal.
"I know it's a cat-and-mouse game, for sure," he said recently.
This is the life of a major league rookie -- make adjustments, make them again and keep repeating the process. For his first 41 games, Middlebrooks weathered this storm about as well a major league first-timer could hope for. In his initial 21 games, he hit .306 with an .894 OPS and five homers. The second 20? It was .356 with a 1.022 OPS and four home runs.
But then Kevin Youkilis was traded.
In the seven games since the Red Sox' lineup merry-go-round ended thanks to Youkilis being dealt to the White Sox, leaving Middlebrooks as an everyday big league third baseman, the rookie has hit .148 with seven strikeouts, one walk and one home run. (Of some consolation is the fact the player he replaced is hitting .231 in his seven games with Chicago.)
The timing could be totally coincidental, but it's noteworthy nonetheless.
Middlebrooks and the Red Sox knew such a downturn would be inevitable at some point. It's just arrived at a somewhat inopportune moment considering the need for some sense of validation regarding the midseason maneuver. Before the trade, the 23-year-old hadn't gone more than two straight games without notching at least one hit. But one day after the deal, along came a first for the rookie -- zero hits in 11 straight at-bats.
"He has to make sure he doesn't get himself out and swing at strikes," Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan said regarding what Middlebrooks has to do to avoid prolonged bumps in the road. "As he progresses he's going to walk more. It's only natural in the way it happens with power guys, as teams start to fear him a little bit they become careful. He's got to keep swinging at strikes."
So, has chasing been the problem? According to BaseballAnalytics.org, Middlebrooks' chase percentage the last seven games has been at 28 percent, a significant jump from the 21 percent he totaled the previous month. Of his seven strikeouts over the span, five have come on offspeed pitches at which he has swung and missed.
In total, during his seven-game downturn, Middlebrooks hasn't swung and missed at any of the 57 fastballs he has seen. But he also hasn't managed a hit on any of the 22 heaters he has offered at. Translation: The righty hitter isn't squaring up the pitch against which he hit .474 on over the previous 18 games.
The three hits Middlebrooks has managed during the seven games post-Youkilis (single, double, home run) all came on sliders right down the heart of the plate.
Then, to add insult to injury, he came down with a hamstring injury late in the Red Sox' 3-2 win over the Mariners Sunday, forcing the rookie from the game.
But as difficult as it may be to understand now (with statistical comparisons to Youkilis taking place on a daily basis), this too shall pass. It usually does when you're talking about a talent like Middlebrooks.
"They basically try and mix it up on him," Magadan said. "He's shown he can hit the fastball on the inner-third of the plate. He's shown he can drive the slider or anything off-speed from a lefty the other way. He's a hard guy to pitch to because he has a decent enough idea of the strike zone and a good idea of what he's looking for and the discipline to take what he's not looking for and stay with his plan. He's got a really good idea of how he's being pitched. It's just a really good approach. The guys in the minor leagues did a great job with him because he's pretty polished."
To understand the kind of alterations opponents are making when facing Middlebrooks, all one has to do is look at Toronto's recent strategy against the third baseman. The Blue Jays were one of three teams (joining Miami and Baltimore) who had faced the rookie in more than one series, with Toronto advance scout (and former Red Sox catcher) Kevin Cash clearly taking note of what worked and what didn't the first time around against Middlebrooks.
"At their place they threw me cutters away, and [at Fenway Park] they tried coming in," he observed. "That was different than the last time."
Prior to the last week, Middlebrooks had clearly adjusted, with all 11 of his singles that reached the outfield in the previous 20 games going to either center or right field. It was a departure from his first 21 games, in which almost of his 26 hits were placed to left of center.
Now comes the second phase.
"With the technology now and the video stuff, it's easier than it used to be to make adjustment on [hitters]," Magadan said. "An advance scouting team can sit there and watch every one of his at-bats and see what he had trouble with. To me, that's a big advantage to the pitcher. You never know how a pitcher is going to pitch you and you can look at video for hours on end and a lot of times it doesn't translate to success against a pitcher. From a pitcher's end, you can see where to feed a guy into certain holes and if you can put it there you can get the guy out. But he's doing a good job."
Then there is the part of the game that has nothing to do with pitch selection.
"I feel like the biggest adjustment is getting used to the atmosphere," said Red Sox outfielder Ryan Kalish, who experienced the ups and downs of a rookie season in 2010. "The game never changes. Obviously the players are better and you have to make minor adjustments here and there, but it's about being able to handle the pressures of Boston. Obviously he's doing a really good job of slowing the game down, because that's something that can catch up to you."
Nobody -- including Middlebrooks -- said it was going to be easy.
"It's baseball," he said. "Every team has a different idea of how they're going to approach you. I just have to adjust."

Do I have to start going out to meet guys?
Im 20 and have never been with a guy. I'm shy at first but with certain people, I can get over it.bim generally a quiet person, but I have my days... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
it really sounds like you don't like guys at all. I mean you don't like guys at you're college? wtf. a tiny college will still have hundreds of guys, yet you say you don't like them...or the guys at work. so its painfully clear that you have to decide what you want before you go looking for it.
Well I meant to say I don't like the ones I have met. I don't see them as more than friends. The guys that come to my job are either too old, or married. I don't want to be after married men. I'm not a homewrecker.
so I don't know if to keep waiting to see if I meet someone I like at school, or do I have to take a different approach to meeting guys.
well my advice it to take full advantage of being in college. it never gets easier than that
What Guys Said 8
Try going to coffee shops or other hang-outs, and smile at any guy who looks like hte's there for the same reason.
Also, join clubs for people with your interests, or attend a class in a new subject. In other words, go into new places that are stll in your comfort zone , rather than testing bars and clubs. As you say, they aren't for good girls anyway.
be glad you don't have to initiate anything, so social-skills, conversation-skills, social-awkwardness will not hurt a girl as much as it will hurt a guy
Really? It feels like it kind of does. I think some guys might be afraid to approach because I never show interest. Or if someone tries to talk to me, I give one work answers because I'm so nervous. sometimes I think I look really stupid because I look down a lot and can't even talk right. Its hars on girls too. I don't think guys would approach someone who doesn't look interested.
still almost all girls are old-fashioned
This...was eerie to read. Your life mirrors mine exactly, and I mean EXACTLY. Hell, we're even around the same age AND have the same kind of best friend.
Beyond the normal advice (get out, join clubs, etc) I don't know what to say. Drop me a message if you ever come up with a solution, because god knows I could use the help.
But look on the bright side. You're a girl. Guys approach YOU.
So, yeah, I'm pretty much screwed lol
What Girls Said 1
No, you don't have to go out to meet a guy lol

Oh if you are playing cupid, find one for me too please. :)

You should start featuring the horses up for adoption at Horses Healing Hearts Rescue. That would be great to read their stories and help the horses the woman Melissa has been rehabilitating.

The Doggs
The Doggs were a popular music group active in England in late 1964 and 1965, based in Southeast London. Their sound combined Merseybeat with a heavy influence from The Animals. Although not known for recording success, their songs and performances drew some notice.
The Doggs' songs included "Get That Someone", "Going Back to My Home", the brief "My Mouth", and "Twist and Shout" (inspired by, but different from, the song of the same title recorded by The Beatles and others). What set their vocals apart were the frequent use of "ruff, ruff" dog sounds during verses and choruses. Despite a few scattered attempts, the group failed to gain enough traction to participate in the British Invasion and soon disappeared.
The group is unrelated to the 1990s and also unrelated to da famous D.O.G.G.S. from 0342 rapper Snoop Dogg.

Daily Deal 4/19/13: Theory
Every morning I wake up to an inbox overloaded with special offers, deals, flash sales and hot items. So why not let me do the work for you? I have looked through them all to pick the deal you just can't miss! Whether it's an on trend item, a fantastic sale or a classic staple piece, rest assured I will give you the daily deal worth buying.
You can never go wrong with a good Theory sale. This weekend, the favorite label for classics and wardrobe must haves is offering 30% off for friends and family. This means you can stock up on some great blazers and pants for work, or maybe pick up an item or two for play. The great thing about Theory is that their clothes effortlessly go from day to night, with plenty of options in between.
One thing that immediately caught my eye are their selection of spring leather jackets. I have leather jackets on the brain and Theory always makes a great ones. Yes, even with 30% it's a splurge but I don't think you will be disappointed. Other great options are their dresses and shorts. And take a look at some of their tops. Everything has a very relaxed feel this season that screams effortless fashion.

Keep at it, one of the guys that helped me get into it had a motto: if you get any images from the first box of film, be proud you got *something* as there's a whole heck of a lot more to go wrong than with 35mm/MF.
I got a bunch of Fuji instant film to experiment with and that has helped my confidence level, and helped me go through the shoot routine many times to get some memory built up. You might think about that, if you have the pack film back and not the roll film back.
The camera came with that instant film back, and that's my exact plan. Just ordered a few boxes of Fuji fp-3000 and plan on shooting with that for a good while and scanning the negatives (I love the look of those).
Appreciate the advice!
