Franco Harris Founder Of Super Bakery
February 5, 2012 by staff
Franco Harris Founder Of Super Bakery, On December 23, 1972, rookie running back Franco Harris of the Pittsburgh Steelers was running an offensive pattern in a playoff game against the dominate Oakland Raiders. The score was Oakland 7-6, and there was just over a minute left in the game.
The Pittsburgh quarterback, Terry Bradshaw, threw a pass. Just as the intended receiver was going to catch the ball, he was flattened by the Oakland defender. The ball bounced off the collision of those two players and landed in the hands of Franco Harris, who ran it into the end zone to win the game.
The play was nicknamed "The Immaculate Reception," and Franco Harris became a Pittsburgh legend and an eventual member of the Football Hall of Fame. After Mr. Harris retired from the NFL, he decided to put his Penn State University degree in business administration and food services to use.
His hope was to produce and market a healthy "junk" food for schools and hospitals. He developed a pastry dough that was fortified with minerals, vitamins and protein. He called the dough his "M-V-P" ingredient. It was used to make doughnuts, cinnamon buns and other pastries that would be accepted by students and patients.
He especially cared that elementary students be fed nutritional snacks for their school-sponsored breakfasts and lunches. For 16 years, the football player's business, Super Bakery, Inc., sold these good-tasting, nutritional "junk foods" to institutions that cared about their clients' health.
The products were not sold to the general public. Super Bakery, Inc. has recorded $10 million in sales. To give you a comparative idea, you should know that last year alone, Krispy Kreme doughnuts had $540 million in sales.

Most of us have our pictures taken pretty often. And while most people have a "good side" or a smile they tend to fall back on, it's far less common to see someone who has a makeup and hair philosophy for photos. You don't have to rush off to the bathroom to make yourself over every time someone whips out a camera, but there are a few things you'll want to steer clear of if you know you're going to be within a lens's scope. See our quick rundown on what not to [sidebar]do.

Before and After: How to Wear Makeup For the Perfect Picture
Foundation with titanium dioxide
Ever seen a picture of yourself where your face looked oddly white or had pale patches? That's probably thanks to titanium dioxide. This common foundation and concealer ingredient is a great natural sunscreen, but its reflective properties interfere with camera flash, making your face look "ghosted." So unless you're going flash-free, make sure the product you're wearing isn't chock full of the stuff.
Too-tall hair
Yes, the beehive is back, but when it comes to photos (especially group pictures) big hair is a mistake for a bunch of reasons. If you're part of a large group, it's going to be hard to place you anywhere without obscuring someone else's face. And even if you're by yourself, huge hair makes it difficult for a photographer to get everything in, so you'll end up with odd angles and maybe an unflattering photo crop.
Understated lip and cheek color
On a normal day sheer, soft blush and lip color might be more than sufficient, but when you're going to be in photos, it's best to go for a full face. Photos tend to flatten and blanch out features, so having a little extra color is a smart way to ensure that you come out looking like yourself.

The thing about parents is that they are usually worried when their children have to be out for a longer time than the usual. You can't blame them and they always have the right to be worried, because it's their fucking children lives.
In all actuality, if your parents have always been worried about you whenever you have to be out long for a school project that takes weeks to finish, be more tolerant and understanding because you don't know where their worries are coming from, and you should just be thankful because they care about you more than anything else. And one of the biggest worries parents could have would be gangbangs, which comes into relation with our site to review today.
You know the thing about gangbangs, they are not always aggressively pursued. Sometimes, they are provoked by women themselves, or girls for that matter. So, parents out there, chill, or you know, try to see where your faults lie. Sometimes, it's your girls taking on the mess to themselves, not the other way around. But hey, charge to experience, don't you think? With how awesome Hardcore Gangbang is able to portray the magnificence of these rebelliously driven sensual activities, you won't regret spending your pennies just to get hooked into the contents of this indubitable marvel! The site has been more active lately with the awards it has been receiving, so expect much more promising videos and other bonuses to come your way.
So, give me your thoughts on what makes a gangbang. You see, some people would have this mistaken over an orgy. Truth of the matter is that BDSM. Yeah, that's what gangbangs are all about. That's what makes them what they're called for. Hardcore Gangbang has 35 videos for you to watch on this note. Each video is good for at least 60 minutes, making the videos full movies in actuality. The girls are hot, the guys are hot. Both genders are good, the girls are good at depicting masochism and submission. The guys are good at portraying bondage and dominance. Sometimes even, it's the other way around. With the site relatively new into the industry, it makes itself exceptional by being able to produce nothing less than exceptional pornographics.
In addition, you can download the videos, updates come on a monthly basis, but starting this January 15th, there will be weekly updates to come. Expect real, unadulterated and unscripted submissions (submissions for cash and fame) and so on. There's a lot to look forward to and you're gonna love gangbangs like you never used to. Or your previous perceptions will be flipped downwards. Our Hardcore Gangbang discount is the shit for you for only $14.16 a month.

My boyfriend has been eying this pair of shoes from Aldo, and his birthday is coming up so I want to purchase them for him!
I have an issue, though. He wears a different size for almost every pair he owns! I snuck in his closet hoping to find the same shoe size for every shoe, but they're all different. I thought he was a size 10, but he has sizes 10, 10 1/2, and 11. It varies between those three sizes. The shoes I want to buy him are kind of dressy, so I tried looking at what pair he owns that is similar to that style - but he has two pairs, one 10, one 11.
I absolutely don't want to ask him to come with me and try them on - that's a dead give-away. I also wanted to buy them online, which makes it harder for returns.
Ugh. Any help appreciated...

As far as the new fighting elements go, Tenkaichi 3 expands on the battle mechanic just as its predecessor did, but per usual the game remains to be a two-button battler at its core. The overall offense from BT2 has been dropped down a bit, making battles a bit more manageable - some much-needed balancing was done, and we're grateful – and the defense has seen a small overhaul as well, with the new addition of both Sonic Sway (a new dodge technique) and Z Counter (a fierce, but very difficult to pull off counter-attack). Are these changes mind-blowing? No, but for a series that hasn't changed its core controls much over the years we weren't expecting much, and what's there is a welcomed change to say the least. You'll find that multiplayer battles, as well as some of the tougher single player experiences, feel a bit more "fair" overall, as BT3 is a more balanced experience than previous efforts.
The console-specific specialties for Tenkaichi 3, however, are a bit of a letdown to say the least. For PS2, the disc fusion system does what could have already been included with the new game, grabbing content from the previous two Budokai Tenkaichi titles and putting them on the new game. For example, swapping in BT2 would unlock Course Battle mode for the new game. It's obvious that Atari wanted something for the PS2 crowd that rivaled Wii's online, and while disc fusion is really nothing more than a cop-out it ends up actually holding its own for one key reason: Wii's online mode is seriously lacking.
As far as content goes, online battling should have been a great experience, as you've got an online ranking system, the ability to play both normal and custom fights, and of course random or friend code play. If you aren't getting constant connection errors, however, you're experiencing what thousands of other DBZ fans have been suffering through (and sending complaints about to both Nintendo and Atari), which is tons of slowdown, control lag, and an overall letdown in the online department. Whether this will be fixed is anyone's guess, but we need to review a game based on how it currently plays, and it's obvious there are issues. Budokai Tenkahichi 3's top selling point is, at least for the moment, extremely crippled.
On the audio/visual side of things, Tenkaichi 3 is very similar to last year's offering, and while the effects and overall polish are improved, you're still getting a 480p experience that runs only in 4:3 display. The overwhelming amount of VO is again making a return, though that should come as no surprise really, and the music is still just as inspired and blaring with J-rock riffs as ever. Not much has changed here, but then again not much needs to.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is far from being a failure of a game. When looking at the core gameplay, and ignoring the titles before it, BT3 is a fast, fun, and amazingly deep experience for fans of the award-winning anime. There are more characters here than in any other fighter out there (161 total), with a huge story, impressive library of information and extras for each of the fighters in the game, and as much fan service as there is actual gameplay throughout. After so many iterations of the same design, however, we&#Array;ll admit the series is starting to lose steam, and while newcomers to DBZ fighters or loyal fans may swear the contrary, we couldn&#Array;t shake the overwhelming &#Array;been there, done that&#Array; feel. The main story mode is thinner, the modes gained from PS2 disc fusion could have simply been included on both PS2 and Wii without the need for previous purchases, and the online for Wii is currently broken. Yes, the core fighting experience is better, and with nearly 200 fighters there&#Array;s a ton to see and do in BT3.
With such a mix of positives and negatives overall though, it&#Array;s hard to recommend Tenkaichi 3 for purchase when you could just as easily pick up BT2 for a fraction of the price, or skip a year and wait for the inevitable sequel to come along. Should online play be fixed, however, or if you&#Array;re looking for the single largest roster of fighters out there in an experience that&#Array;s astonishingly true to the anime, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is still a great choice. A word to the wise though: There&#Array;s always another DBZ game on the way.

If you watch the mainstream media you'd think that a Hillary Clinton win in November is a given. But recent video footage from CNN would indicate otherwise. Polls show that Donald Trump has a 1% hold over African Americans but this CNN video shows there are more African Americans who support him than people would like you to believe.
The video pans from the anchor talking to protestors who express their political leanings for the upcoming election to the camera. One African American man can be heard screaming,
"We don't got no jobs. We got babies too. I got a little girl. I can't hardly support her. Oh no no, no no no."
Another African American woman says in an exasperated voice,
"I've waken up. I've seen the truth and the truth is Trump I believe in this guy. He's gonna make our country better because our country is going to hell. My daughter can't find a job she's a college graduate. Black men are fifty percent unemployed."
One man can be seen taking a video of himself supporting Trump's anti illegal alien policy saying,
"There is too many illegal aliens there is too many and it's just not right. And me on the other hand, I'm an auto worker. So I work in the factory. We get those people all the time that work in the factory. They use these fake social security card numbers or dead people's social security numbers and these companies use these people. And they bring these people. I see it all the time. And they pay them real less to do work."
Dr. Drew Pinsky speaks to another woman in a panel who says,
"I'm angry because we're being lied to. By the current group of politicians."
In another video an African American smacks down a CNN reporter for race baiting,
If these voices mean anything to you you won't vote for Hillary Clinton.

When war breaks out in Europe - modern, aerial war whose tactics include displacing entire populations - British civilization collapses overnight. The ironically named Theodore Savage, an educated and idle civil servant, must learn to survive by his wits in a new Britain... one where science and technology swiftly come to be regarded with superstitious awe and terror.
Public Domain (P)2013 Dreamscape Media, LLC
"Like Colson Whitehead's Zone One without the zombie camp and idiom, Theodore Savage is a dark, strange, and cruelly contemporary tale of The Ruin and the post-apocalyptic condition that follows. The book makes a spirited argument against science and machines, disputing itself viciously to the last word." (Alexis Madrigal, The Atlantic)
"Miss Hamilton always writes forcibly, and her present novel deals with the heart shaking effects of the next war. It might, indeed, be used as a tract to convey an awful warning." (The Spectator -1922)
"A particularly effective and chilling version of a theme that dominates British speculative fiction between the wars." (Anatomy of Wonder, Neil Barron, ed.)

Steel Pot Rack is wonderful
This pot rack holds all of my pots. Now where do I put their lids? I guess on the top rack with the kettle. This is a very sturdy rack and has extra hooks.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfect!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The rack itself is very sturdy but the wire shelf was flimsy and bent.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Spot on. No surprises here.

Fox Sports Daytona 500
February 27, 2012 by staff
Fox Sports Daytona 500, Rain continued to fall Monday at Florida's Daytona International Speedway, forcing NASCAR officials to push back the start of the race to 7:00pm ET.
Originally, the rain-postponed race was supposed to start at noon ET Monday.
NASCAR president Mike Helton said officials would be drying the track all day and would be working on preparing it for the start "whenever feasible."
Rain has continued to be an issue at Daytona International Speedway, where track and NASCAR officials have been working to run the Daytona 500 since Sunday afternoon.
Rain caused the first postponement of the race in its 54-year history on Sunday. The weather forecast calls for rain throughout Monday.
According to Weather.com, there is an 80 percent chance of rain throughout the morning. That chance dips slightly to 55 percent at 1:00pm ET, then to 30 percent starting at 4:00pm ET. However, the forecast does call for some degree of rain until around 7:00pm ET.

The notes will be the unsecured obligations of USG, and USG's obligations under the notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The offering of the notes is expected to close on or about October 31, 2013. USG intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to fund a portion of USG's initial $500 million cash investment (consisting of the net proceeds of sale of the notes and cash on hand) in its previously announced proposed joint venture with Boral Limited. If USG does not complete the joint venture, USG intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of indebtedness, the funding of pension obligations, working capital, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. The notes will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. When issued, the notes will not have been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering circular.

Today, Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle (NY-25) commented on recent news that the Muslim Brotherhood would field a presidential candidate in Egypt. Representative Buerkle offered the followed statement regarding the developments in the Egyptian presidential elections.
"With the introduction of a Muslim Brotherhood candidate, the presidential elections in Egypt are becoming more complex. I am hopeful that Egypt's relationship with America is not disregarded in the process. Egypt has been a dependable ally in many respects in the Middle East, especially concerning Israel's interests.
"As the Muslim Brotherhood has gained political momentum, I continue to hold reservations regarding Egypt's future political landscape, both domestically and with respect to its foreign relations. In the past, Egypt has demonstrated a fair attitude toward Israel, a nation which represents America's interests and is not short of enemies in the region. Israel, and therefore America, cannot afford to lose any allies in the Middle East.
Congresswoman Buerkle added, "It is important that Egypt continue to move in the direction of a free and democratic society. There is reason for apprehension with the involvement of the Egyptian military and the Muslim Brotherhood. It would be tragic to see Egypt return to the authoritarianism of the ousted Mubarak regime.
"The Obama Administration has often employed a vague foreign policy. Given the large sum of aid we supply to Egypt, it is essential that the President demonstrate strong and decisive leadership to ensure American taxpayer money is not going to waste in Egypt."

Gettin' Made: Waking Up in the Land of Glitter
Have you heard of The Crafty Chica? She's pretty hard to escape if you're into crafting of any type. Kathy Cano-Murillo, a.k.a. The Crafty Chica, is an all-encompassing craft force to be reckoned with.
From her yearly Crafty Chica cruises, seven crafting how-to books, television features, and a line of Crafty Chica products sold nationwide at places like Michaels, Kathy's pretty much done it all with flair, amazing amounts of upbeat energy, and of course, a healthy dose of glitter.
This uber-crafty gal has done it again, branching out by writing her first novel! Waking Up in the Land of Glitter is in stores now.
After the jump, read a review of the book and enter to win a free copy of your own!

This book was one of the most fun reads I've had in a while. Waking Up in the Land of Glitter oozes energy, fun, drama, and crafts, and will surely suck in any craft-o-phile in from page 1!
The story opens with a mystery at La Pachanga, one of Phoenix, Arizona's landmark Mexican restaurants. Star Esteban, daughter of the restaurant's owners gives an uncomfortable interview to news-reporter-slash-craft-diva-wannabe Chloe Chavez about vandalism that occured at the eatery, which sets a whole energetic chain of events in motion.
Star and her best friend Ofie share crafty adventures (and mis-adventures!) as they continue to cross paths with Chloe; eventually the three end up in a craft collective together with a new friend Benicio. The four are tasked with creating table centerpieces for the upcoming CraftOlympics; as they learn some new techniques and grow as artists, they learn something about themselves as well.
I don't want to give too much away, so I'll stop there. I loved reading this book because Kathy Cano-Murillo's true personality shines through on every page. It almost felt like she was on the train with me, reading it out loud enthusiastically. I also loved the craft project ideas she included at the end of the book - I can't wait to try making a love shrine of my own!
Another fun aspect of Waking Up in the Land of Glitter was references to real crafters sprinkled in with the fiction. When I was reading the chapters about the CraftOlympics, and the people Star, Ofie, Chloe and Benicio were seeing there it was just neat thinking "Oh, I've met her! I know her!" When asked if her ficitonal characters were based on real people, The Crafty Chica replied:
"Chloe, Star and Ofie - all of them have a little bit of me from different phases in my life... As for the other characters, in my first draft, I did have specific people in mind, but as I went through dozens of rewrites, the characters bloomed in their own way. They didn't want to reenact my experiences; they had their own stories to tell."
We have a free copy of Waking Up in the Land of Glitter to give away, courtesy of the Hatchette Book Group. Since glitter is a major theme in this story, it's a major theme in our giveaway as well! Leave a comment telling us your thoughts on glitter, and you'll be automatically entered to win a free copy of the book. Do you like glitter? Hate it? (gasp!) Is there something fabulous you've made featuring glitter that you can link to? Share, share, share!
Leave your comment before midnight on Friday, May 7 and you'll be automatically entered to win. We love conversation here, but only one entry per person will be counted! After the close of the contest, a winner will be chosen at random by www.random.org. Retail value of prize is $13.99. If you've won a Gettin' Made giveaway in the last 30 days you'll be ineligible to win so others have a chance at awesomeness!
Waking Up in the Land of Glitter is available in bookstores now. For more information on Kathy Cano-Murillo, a.k.a. The Crafty Chica, visit her website or follow her on Twitter!

Some of you, well informed or pretentious, might be thinking why on earth would this culture vulture go and give herself such a name. I mean, Kim isn't exactly an original name now is it. In actual fact, my chosen pseudonym, or like Jackie Chan's name, my stage name, is, yes, well, quite common in and around Hong Kong. But it's not entirely Chinese now, is it. Sounds more Korean to me don't you think. Or did you? H'mm, well, that's what this quick post will be about then. It's going to take you on a quick tour of Hong Kong's amazing multicultural world.
Quick glance at our cultural heritage
We have our famous melting pots of cuisine to fall back on whenever we get tired of western-inspired, or should that be money-inspired, takeouts are concerned. That's not a fair analogy, because go down any of the hundreds of alleys and visit any of our off-beat cultural and traditional markets, and if you're a takeout junkie like I am, you'll be in seventh heaven. No, it's not going to be anything what you thought, coming from the famous brands.
Just stand by patiently and watch how quickly the locals scrap together something from their hot and deep-fried oil. Cantonese cuisine remains the top choice among both local and visiting diners. That's something for the Cantons to be proud of, I guess. Among this heavily congested Diaspora are also a rather superstitious lot. Or there were, the last time I checked. The Ba gua is an object regularly used by believers to ward off evil spirits. Some have even outrageously suggested that the lack of such accoutrements could have contributed to Bruce Lee's mysterious death.
It's really where East meets West
Now, this is something really weird, but it's been with us ever since Hong Kong starting growing as an industrial and commercial urban city hub. In fact, this weird superstition has been with us ever since buildings started to build up in storeys to the degree that you now see our iconic skyscrapers dotting the city skyline as you wing your way into Hong Kong. Go to the elevator to climb the highest building in Hong Kong. Well, perhaps not that one then. Try another much older building then. See if you can get to level four.
Nope, you couldn't could you. That's because there is no floor number four. It comes from an old superstition in which the word 'four' was found to sound too close to the Chinese word 'die'. How about that then. Useless bits of information for curious-minded culture vultures and tourists like me and you. A lot of that is confined to the older parts of town, all well worth exploring. Most of the Hong Kong and Chinese citizens have moved on from that and adopted Western ways in their business and cultural dealings. I suppose that's just how strong the legacy of British colonialism is then. Or is it more a case of Hong Kong and China's inclusion in the global cultural and economic melting pot.
Cultural appreciation centers
I'd like to remind you all to visit our cultural appreciation centers, that's what I like to call them. For your convenience, I'm simply listing them below.
• Leisure and Cultural Services Department
• Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
• Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra
• Hong Kong Museum of Art
• Hong Kong Heritage Museum
But for true cultural appreciation, I still say go and visit the old world of Hong Kong before modernity swallows it up whole and it's gone forever.

The former California governor said in a Los Angeles event that he just talked to his wife Maria Shiver and they both 'were saying the same thing'.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is finally talking about his publicized split from wife of 25 years, Maria Shiver. While receiving an award at an Israeli Independence Day event in Los Angeles, he slipped in a word about his marriage turmoil during his acceptance speech.
"I just talked to Maria an hour ago before I came here and we both were saying the same thing, we are amazed and extremely blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people," he told the crowd, adding "We both love each other very much, we are very fortunate we have four extraordinary children and we're taking it one day at a time."
The couple announced their separation in a joint statement released on Monday night, May 9. Words are, Maria couldn't stand the fact that Arnold has been ignoring her and her needs. However, a source told TMZ that Arnold is trying to fix the situation, saying "Arnold has done a 180. He's been really sweet to her since all this went down."
Another report said that Maria had been contemplating a separation for two years now because she's been miserable for much longer. However, her mother's death plus the emotional grip that Arnold has over her have prevented her from taking an action. "One day she's determined to get the hell out, and the next day she just can't do it," a source said.

The Essential for Financial Health
Why is it that a few four-letter words have given thousands of perfectly good four-letter words such a bad rap? It doesn't seem fair does it? I took it upon myself to give them a break. Make a habit of putting these eight words into use, and your finances will be stronger than ever. They won't offend anybody. You can even say them in front of your parents. How great is that?
Why eight? Well, I was reading an article about how we can be pretty hardheaded when it comes to making changes. The author suggested sometimes we need to get hit over the head with a (figurative) two-by-four to get a message. Multiply two by four and you get eight.
Essential Four-Letter Words
- Plan: It's time to outgrow impulse spending. If you've got some exciting goals, and I hope you do, planning before spending will make those goals happen sooner. Whether it's clothes, groceries or basic household matter, make a list before you head out to spend. You'll get everything you need and you'll be less likely
These Ten Habits Will Help You Reach A Financial Freedom
Achieving financial freedom is a dream for most people, but few make the dream become reality. The following are 10 key habits that help pave the way.
1. Set Life Goals
A general desire for "financial freedom" is too vague of a goal. What does it mean to you? Write down how much you should have in your bank account, what the lifestyle entails and at what age this should be achieved. The more specific your goals, the higher the likelihood of achieving them. Then, count backwards to the current age and establish financial mileposts at regular intervals. Write it all down neatly, and put the goal sheet at the very beginning of your financial binder.
2. Make a Budget
Making a monthly household budget, and sticking to it, is the best way to ensure all bills are paid and savings are on track. It is also a monthly routine that reinforces your goals and bolsters resolve against the temptation to splurge.
3. Pay Off Credit Cards in Full
Credit cards and similar high-interest consumer
News Is Investing $25 a Month Worth It
Any time you move money from your checking account to another account, whether it's an individual retirement account (IRA), investing in stocks, mutual funds or savings account, you're making an important step toward a financially secure future.
But what if you only have $25 a month to invest? Can you still secure your financial future? Or is it better to put it into a savings account until it's large enough to counteract fees? This article will explain how to the evaluate fees involved in small investments.
How to Translate Fees Into a Percentage of a $25 Investment
Saving $25 a month will total $300 in a year, not including any interest. A $40 fee on an investment account equals more than 13.33% of your investment. Thus, this $25 investment would have to earn more than $40 in a year just for you to break even. This means that if the fee was taken out at year's end, you would have to earn a 27% return on your money to break even. Why 27% instead of 13%? The
Understanding the difference between a Payment Processor and a Payment Gateway
Are thinking of broadening your business horizons into the online market? You are likely deep in thought about the best method to employ to receive and process payments from customers.
Undoubtedly, the best option you have for seamless and secure payment processing is a merchant account. This account will enable you to accept credit and debit card payments online.
A merchant account from a reputable firm such as eMerchantBroker usually comes in a complete package that gives an online retailer access to a payment processor and an integrated payment gateway. Therefore, new merchants have to possess enough understanding of these two services to ensure they pick the right accounts provider for their business.
Payment Processing
A payment processing service handles transactions from credit and debit cards on behalf of the merchant. Upon receiving payment information from a customer, the processor forwards it to the respective card association, e.g. Visa or MasterCard. The
Tips Save More Money to Reduce Financial Stress
I've long held the position that even though we live in one of the wealthiest, most financially blessed countries ever, as a society, we also live a life of serious financial stress. I often joke that it's probably less stressful to live in the rainforests of South America, hunting and gathering, than to live in our modern, tech-savvy society, paycheck to paycheck. A lot of this stress stems from the fact that, as a society, we just don't save money very well. According to a past Marketwatch article, almost 69% of Americans have less than $1000 saved. That is an astonishing amount of us that are basically one paycheck away from homelessness, or at least raiding our retirement funds in case of an emergency.
Why Americans Have a Hard Time Saving Money
There is a plethora of reasons behind our insufficient savings habits, such as a lack of discipline and making bad financial decisions. Maybe, it is simply that good jobs and hourly rates just don't exist anymore for the lower and middle class (which I would argue as a legitimate factor). We can even rationalize that the value of the dollar doesn't go as far as
Info Buying a Car? Read This Financial Advice First
A few years ago when my son was in college, I gave him my old car to drive. Now, four years later, my son has a job and an apartment and uses this same old car to commute. The car is still reliable, but does need a little maintenance, and my son is thinking about buying a new car. He's asking my advice, so I thought I'd share my advice with everyone. Buying a car is one of the priciest purchases you can make, so it's definitely a subject that requires some financial advice.
Choosing the right car is very subjective. There are practical, emotional and aesthetical needs. Some people only care about a car as transportation. For some, a car needs to be comfortable. For others a car needs to project the buyer's personality or be beautiful to look at. For still others, a car is the manifestation of sophisticated technology and needs to look and go fast. I think of a car as transportation, but I also want to be comfortable while I'm being transported. My son wants the car to fit his transportation needs and be fun to drive. When my wife bought her
The Common Budgeting Challenges to Overcome
The word "budget" has been known to make people cringe, cry and bury their heads in the sand, but budgeting challenges don't have to keep you from getting the job done. Budgets are just a set of guidelines to help you manage your money. (Budgeting Basics will help you get started.) Once you set up your system, budgeting isn't even that much work. If yours isn't working for you, then scrap it and start again. But don't be stopped before you start by challenges that you can easily overcome.
Budgeting Challenges
1. The All-or-Nothing Mentality
Many people are turned off by budgeting because most advice about creating one requires tracking every penny spent for three months. That is a lot of saving receipts and tracking, especially if you aren't using an automatic system. The point of a budget is to get a picture of your expenses and plan for your financial goals – in other words, it is a tool for you and you alone – and if tracking every penny is a roadblock to get you started, cut yourself some slack. Perfect is definitely the enemy of good.
Having a general idea of
Ways to Create a Successful Budget
Financial planning revolves around what is in our control. For example, we can't control stock market returns, tax rates, or unexpected events, but we can plan to mitigate these risks through diversification, tax planning, and insurance. Of all the areas in financial planning, we probably have the highest degree of control over our income, expenses, and savings, making it extremely important to create a workable budget.
Here are some of the best ways you can create a budget you can actually stick to.
First, Know Your Resources
No matter how you are paid (hourly, salary, commission), it is important to make a projection of your take-home income each month to compare to your budgeted expenses. Your budgeted expenses should never exceed your income. If you are paid less than monthly, it's important to know how long that income is expected to last, and to have a plan to spread out your resources accordingly.
No two budgets look the same. You can look online for budget templates, but none will contain the categories and level of detail that fit your needs. However, creating these three basic categories will get your budget off to a great start.
This Key Tips for Budgeting Your Money
It's almost a truism that budgeting is a critical step for anyone looking to get serious about money management. After all, you have to know where your money is going in order to make plans for the future. But if you haven't ever tracked your spending, how do you get started?
Here are three tips that will help you set up a budget and start managing your money.
1. Determine Wants Versus Needs
The first step towards creating a budget is determining which expenses are wants and which are needs. Housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, clothing and childcare are generally considered necessities; entertainment, travel and dining out are thought of as "wants," or what are known as discretionary expenses. That being said, there often is some gray area between a want and a need: You may need a car to get to work if carpooling or public transit is not an option, for example, but a flashy sports car may be a want. Everyone must buy clothes, but designer clothes are not requirements. If you can afford or have already purchased a luxury version of your necessary expenses, remember that downgrading is always an option if
The Financial Planning
While everybody's financial situation is different, there are some options and strategies that can be used by all to get on the right financial path.
Financial Fundamentals
Develop a budget and stick with it: When making a budget it is important to develop a realistic one and stick with it. You need to decide how much you can afford to spend and what you should be saving each month. To be financially independent, it is important to start making wise choices early on in order to develop a habit of staying within your budget.
Figure out your credit score: Do you know what your credit score is and how much it can affect you in various areas of your life? How do you build credit in a responsible way to make sure there are no surprises down the road? There are ways for you to check your credit score. Visit one of the three reporting agencies for more information.
Money Saving Tips
Employee benefits: What benefits do you currently have and what benefits are offered at your job? Are you contributing enough to your retirement plan to get the full employer match? What other
Make Better Budget
Can you have perfect abs in just six minutes a day? It's hard to say for sure, but you can have a solid budget in six months. One of the challenges with proper budgeting is that it has to become habitual in order to be effective. You can survive without knowing how to budget if you manage to keep more money coming in rather than flowing out or have credit cards to cover the gap, but this won't last forever. People often resort to budgeting after they've already been dealing with expenses and income in a back-of-the-envelope kind of way.
Emergency Fund
The crux of this six-month plan is the emergency fund. In general, traditional budgeting starts with tracking expenses, eliminating debt and, once the budget is balanced, building an emergency fund. To speed up the process, we are going to start by building a partial emergency fund. Ideally, everyone should have a minimum of a few months' wages sitting in a liquid account for any unpleasant surprises. This emergency fund acts as a buffer as the rest of the budget is put in place, and should replace the use of credit cards for emergency situations.
Tips Improve Your Financial Health
Your financial well-being is equally important to the traditional "new body, new you" goals that are rampant after the holiday season. Whether you've overindulged in food or spent a bit more than intended for gift giving, it's natural—and healthy—to seek suggestions on how to scale back on the excess. Perhaps you're headed for retirement and desire to focus on increased savings for the post-work years. Or home buying is slated as your prime objective.
By now the onslaught of New Year's resolution posts has died down, and all prominent voices in the financial industry have levied their "financial fitness for the new year" advice. Rather than sifting through an endless stream of data on the matter, I've curated the top tips for improving your financial health in 2017. The following is applicable for all generations:Boomer, Generation X, Millennial and everyone in between.
Pay Off Credit Cards or Consumer Debt
It's true that debt can be leveraged to help when you're in a financial bind—car troubles, sudden health related emergencies and so forth. However, the interest rates are an additional expenditure that slows the process of stashing cash in other, more lucrative places.
Rather than paying
Top Six of Mindless Money Wasters
Despite the benefits of putting some money away, most people take a passing interest in actually doing it. If you'd like to make regular saving a part of your life, read on to find out how to conquer the first step: finding that extra money.
You can begin by paying attention to these top money wasting activities.
Convenience Stores
Many people don't think about the markup they pay for convenience store items. Here's a hint: it's huge. This is because, unlike grocery stores, convenience stores don't purchase food in large quantities, and also because they make you pay more for the convenience they provide. So, unless it's an emergency situation, avoid shopping at convenience stores.
The premium you pay for convenience is not worth the assumed convenience you get. For example, a bottle of Coke at a convenience store might cost you around two dollars, while you can go to Amazon and buy a 12-pack for $16. If you tend to pull over for a drink, buy a 12-pack and keep it in your car. If you visit convenience stores often, the annual savings of cutting out these visits can
Info Frivolous Spending Cost
Have you ever stood behind someone in line at the convenience store and watched them pay hard-earned money for a lottery ticket? Or walked through a busy casino, with people at the machines literally giving their money to the house all in the name of a little fun? Or what about watching someone inhale their future retirement through the ashes of a nasty smoking habit?
When I see these things, it gets me thinking about what it actually costs me to spend money on frivolous things. I'm not immune, of course. For me, it's not usually gambling or cigarettes, it's usually fast food because I am too busy to pack a lunch that day. Or sometimes I'm just dropping a few dollars on a snack that I don't really need, just to have something to munch on. (For related reading, see: 5 Things the Wealthy Can Teach Us About Money.)
I'm not saying these things don't bring a little bit of happiness in the moment that we buy them, but at what cost? So, being the finance nerd that I am, I pulled out a calculator and got to work to find out.
We All Only Have so Much Time
First things first. We
This Bizarre Airline Rules
If you've never heard of a "contract of carriage," you're not alone. It's a legalese-filled document that states what airlines will and won't do for passengers, plus rules for your behavior, refund information and much, much more. These regulations are not all that easy to find but they are tucked away somewhere on airline websites (look for the fine print at the bottom of the site). They're worth a read because some of the information included is a bit bizarre.
Many airlines have similar rules; we cherry-picked from a bunch of U.S. carriers to present the following examples:
1. No emotional-support service ferrets, please.
United is very clear that service animals are welcome on their flights but they don't get their own seat, and they may not pose what airline calls unavoidable safety concerns. But not all creatures make the cut. United will not accept "snakes, other reptiles, ferrets, rodents and spiders as Service Animals."
But say you're boarding with a service monkey – and this is no joke. These creatures, particularly capuchins, are said to be very helpful and United allows them onboard (as long as they fit under your seat). But don't
Steps of Budgeting for Young Families to Follow
Are you parents that struggle month to month to stick to a budget? Are you stressed about being able to pay the bills even though your income is good? Are you wondering if there is a better way? There is and it starts with a philosophy. Here are the five steps to that philosophy of budgeting for young families.
Budget Step 1: Understand What You Need to Live On
Calculate how much money you need to live on. Your necessities include your utilities, rent or mortgage payment, groceries and gas for your car. For us it also includes diapers for the one-year-old and my wife's new lighting equipment for her videography business. I think you get the picture. Write down how much you need by looking over your past expenses. Then add these up and see where you are. The total number may be smaller than you think, which will give you a more flexible budget.
Budget Step 2: Treat Savings As a Needed Expense
I encourage you to treat savings as a needed expense in your budget. My wife and I use this thinking and it has helped us make sure we are building
The Most Common Financial Mistakes
Here we'll take a look at seven of the most common financial mistakes that often lead people to major economic hardship. Even if you're already facing financial difficulties, steering clear of these mistakes could be the key to survival.
Mistake No. 1: Excessive/Frivolous Spending
Great fortunes are often lost one dollar at a time. It may not seem like a big deal when you pick up that double-mocha cappuccino, stop for a pack of cigarettes, have dinner out or order that pay-per-view movie, but every little item adds up. Just $25 per week spent on dining out costs you $1,300 per year, which could go toward an extra mortgage payment or a number of extra car payments. If you're enduring financial hardship, avoiding this mistake really matters – after all, if you're only a few dollars away from foreclosure or bankruptcy, every dollar will count more than ever. (For more insight, see Squeeze a Greenback Out of Your Latte.)
Mistake No. 2: Never-Ending Payments
Ask yourself if you really need items that keep you paying for every month, year after year. Things like cable television, subscription radio and video games, cell phones and pagers
This Money-Saving Cruise Ship Tips
Cruise! Just that one little word conjures up images of a luxurious vacation complete with fine dining, exciting nightlife, interesting ports of call, a room of your own – and a single, all-inclusive price. At face value, cruises are tough to beat. But many people, once they step onto the deck, forget how hard they searched for a bargain fare before booking the trip. Suddenly feeling like they have endless credit and bottomless wallets, they flag down every passing waiter to purchase the drink of the day in a souvenir cup, and they buy their suntan lotion on board instead of at a discount store.
Unfortunately, the party ends with a six-page bill tucked under their door at the end of the trip. The all-inclusive bargain has suddenly become very expensive. If you're looking to save money on your next cruise, here are some tips that will help.
Research and Plan in Advance
On the day you decide that a cruise is in your future, start putting money in the bank to save for the trip. While just about everyone searches the internet to find a bargain vacation, far too many people pay for their
Now Saving Money for Big Life Changes
In part one of this article, we looked at saving money – how you can financially plan and prepare for a wedding and for buying your first home. In this next part, we will take a close look at two more life-changing events that require savings: having children and preparing for retirement.
1. Saving for a Growing Family
Our first child is still a few weeks old so I can't really speak to the day to day expenses, but I've been told there will be a lot of diapers. In fact, the stats I looked up told me anywhere from about 4,000 to about 10,000. Rather than recommend how couples should save for having a baby, I can suggest carrying enough life insurance for your spouse to take care of the kid(s) if something happens to you.
My general rule is to plan on about $100,000 of coverage for each child if you are not intending to pay for college. If you are, and you want life insurance to cover that, you'll need to add about $200,000 for a public university 18 years from now or $400,000 for a private school at some point in the future.
These Benefits of Doing a 30-Day Financial Detox
"If I can live for a dollar a day—at least from a food cost standpoint—it's pretty easy to earn $30 dollars in a month, so I'll probably be ok."
–Elon Musk
Long before Elon Musk became a billionaire, he was a college grad with big dreams, just trying to find a way to survive. He figured that he could live pretty cheaply with just the bare essentials, and by doing that he could forego getting a job, at least initially. Instead, he wanted to devote all of his time and passion toward his business. Obviously, it all paid off eventually, because when he sold his stake in PayPal a few years later, he pocketed a cool $165 million.
Hearing Musk's story recently inspired me. No, not to live on oranges and hotdogs for a month like he did, but to re-evaluate everything I spend money on. I wanted to know how much it really took me to live and how much "fluff" had built up over time into my monthly spending. Now, as a general rule, I like to think of myself as having it together financially, more or less. I am a financial planner, after all, right? But like the
