March 25, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz Glen from ViperChill.com sent out a tweet that he had mentioned me in his latest blog post. Reading the post, it made me guilty for only posting once a month these days. Geez… is that really the post frequency I do now? I can remember back to the days when I would consistently post 3-4 times a week.
March 27, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz Yes, I'm talking to you. You know who you are. Be sure to read carefully, as there should be no more incentive for you to leave comments on my blog anymore because as of yesterday, the Top Commentators list now has: rel='external nofollow' added to all of its links.
April 11, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz First, a very quick health update: So, less than a week after posting that my health was much improved, I had a major relapse with my Meniere's Disease and whatever the hell else is wrong with me. I went to the doctor again and he's a bit concerned, saying that there's a bunch of "red flags", and he scheduled me to get an MRI of my head.
April 13, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz Some or even most of you may already know this and even consider it as common knowledge, but it's something that I didn't really realize or consider before. And if I didn't consider this before, then chances are some of you haven't either, which is why I'd like to share what I've learned with you.
Earlier today, just a week after my last tour, I went out to take a look at 5 more properties with my realtor. I've been very "into" income properties lately. In fact, I haven't even touched affiliate marketing in a few months. Part of that is due to my health issues, but I also just needed a bit of a change I guess. Don't worry. I do plan on returning to affiliate marketing.
April 21, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz Yup, it's yet another income property post. What can I say? I'm really into real estate right now. There hasn't seem to have been interest in these posts though, it seems. There wasn't even a single comment left on my last post. I thought that a lot of people might be interested in income properties though since it is a much more common w ...
April 23, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz 48 Hours after my last post, I'm already back with another one. This is actually a direct follow-up to my previous post where I show how the real money made in the rental properties I'm looking at is through the equity gain, not the cashflow. I've accounted for virtually every cost imaginable, but left some out such as market fluctuation ...
I've been continuing to focus 100% on real estate lately, completely ignoring everything else. Mainly, I've been studying by reading countless articles and forum threads on BiggerPockets – an online community for real estate investors. Think of it like StackThatMoney but for real estate investors.
With my health slowly improving and in a continued effort to try to get "back on track", I thought I'd go ahead and post another affiliate marketing income report. November 2014 was an interesting month because it kind of caught me by surprise and actually ended up being my 2nd highest profiting month since June 2013! As usual, I'll discuss more details as this report goes on ...
February 15, 2015 Posted by Tyler Cruz First, a quick update on my Meniere's Disease. Fortunately, I've been feeling a hell of a lot better over the past few days. The worst "drop attack" occurred on January 31st, and I was definitely still feeling the after-effects of it up to February 10th, but around the 11th I started feeling a lot better and have been improving every day since.
I apologize for the sheer lack of posting lately. I have been having medical issues. In fact, I will have to keep this post fairly short because of this. It may also not be the most coherent, especially since it's currently 2:29am as I can't sleep due to anxiety. A few days ago, on January 31st 2015, I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease.
It's time for another affiliate marketing income report. I've been noticing a problem lately… I've been getting pretty complacent and lazy with my affiliate marketing efforts again. As I mentioned before, I usually tend to put in a lot more effort when my earnings are doing really well or doing really poorly – when they are just mediocre, I lose the incentive to make the added ...
11 days ago I published a post on my walkthrough tour of some rental properties I was interested in purchasing. A couple days ago I went out for a 2nd tour, this time for new properties I was interested in, and so I thought I'd share how it went again. As the first time, I had an absolute blast again. It's just so fun to go out and look at something physical to invest in.
Heh, this title sounds like a reality TV show. As you know, I've been seriously looking into acquiring an investment property, specifically a buy-and-hold cashflowing rental. On Friday, after a lot of research and analysis, I finally went out with my investment agent to take a look at some of the leading properties on my list in person.
It's time for another affiliate marketing income report! Hmm… how should I fill the next few introductory paragraphs? I know! How about we go back in time 1 year ago and see how September 2013 did? September 2013 was an interesting month because it was a complete shock to the system. Only 3 months prior, I generated over $52,000 in profit in June.
November 22, 2014 Posted by Tyler Cruz Sorry for the lack of posting. And sorry if the title of this blog post led you to believe that I had some juicy secret to reveal, because I don't. In fact, I've been doing nothing extraordinary at all. I've simply been working as usual. So why the lack of posts then? Well, my priority has been to focus on my campaigns and e-mail, and ...
Okay, I realize that my blog is now starting to become like 50% of just monthly income reports, so I will leave this one as the latest one for a while, even if it means falling behind on them again. Sadly, this income report won't be very inspiring. In fact, it will be a little bit depressing, as I saw a big drop in profit in August – over half of what I did the previous month.
October 9, 2014 Posted by Tyler Cruz Paid Advertisement Six and a half years ago, I commissioned for a custom mascot logo to be made of me for my blog. It wasn't cheap as I went with the best designer in the field that I could find (Sergio from SOSFactory.com ��� it's going to cost you upwards of around $1,000 now if you're wondering).
September 27, 2014 Posted by Tyler Cruz Paid Advertisement Yup, it's another report. I don't want to get too behind these things again, so I thought I'd go ahead and get July up before I let my procrastination get the better of me. With both May and June being great months for me (netting $18,249.99 and $17,658.23 profit respectively), I had a continued determination to keep my numbers up.
September 22, 2014 Posted by Tyler Cruz Paid Advertisement A couple of months ago, I announced how I was thinking of investing $200,000 in real estate. It wasn't just a passing thought. I am very serious about this and will likely be purchasing a property soon enough. If you haven't read my other post yet, you might want to go and take a look as I explain why I'm taking su ...

KMVN Tourist Rest House Tallital, Nainital
Ranked 75 amongst 416 hotels in Nainital
KMVN Tourist Rest House Tallital Reviews (79)
"Budget hotel with a great lake view"
We had a family room to ourselves overlooking the lake. Great view of the lake! Step out of the hotel and you have the lake in front of you. Decent reception. Service and food were good. Vehicle parking is a constraint though, best left to driver.
"Superb location & cooperative staff "
This is my second visit to Hotel Sarovar at tallital, location of hotel as usual superb, this time my room is royal deluxe room 002, interior of the room is mind blowing as you compared to other hotels of Nainital, where prices were too high and rooms are messy.. But here at hotel Sarovar all rooms are at very reasonable rate, big bathrooms spacious rooms facing Naini Jheel... Staff is good and cooperative thing are available in just one call... Highly recommended to all traveller once stay there, and feel the difference.
"Good place to stay & nice food"
Spacious place and cordial staff. Good food and location. Being on hilltop the mall road would be bit far so plan at lake area for the entire day. Then go up to KMVN for a pleasant night. Boating is a good experience here, 7 points sightseeing is not worthy but one have to as a time-pass, this will cost 800/- to 1000/- Mall road consist of lots of shopping option and restaurants. Naina Devi mandir, Gurdwara & Masjid adjacent to parking area is a additional benefit to tourists. Bhutia markets is a good place to get fashionable stuff in reasonable price.
"Nice hotel and spacious rooms "
This is UK gov property. It's on the prime location in Nainital. Hotel is nice and clean. Food is not as expected but OK. Rooms are are spacious and clean. Beds are nice warm. They provided heater in our room. View from hotel is great. The staff is happy and helpful. Economy rooms are not for elderly people since we have climb lot for eco rooms. Executive rooms are great.
"Excellent location & spacious rooms "
Situated opposite to Naini Lake, next to market and bus stand. Lovely breakfast. Spacious rooms. The food outside is not so good so have a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel. The dinner is also good at night because it is too cold to move out in December. Taxi for sightseeing is also available at the office.
"Best property & delight for budget travellers"
Though a bit stiff climb, but the view from lake facing room is awesome, specially at night when all the Mall road market lit up and reflections on the water makes it a sight to behold. I have visited this property numerous times with parents, with friends, with my own family and found it in good condition at all times. Good, clean and big sized rooms. Good staff and food. Rooms are very competitively priced. It is absolute delight for budget travellers like me.
"Decent staff and excellent hospitality"
We stayed there from 13/02/2015 to 17/02/2015. The weather was excellent and all facilities were available. Its advisable to select the Hotel by all who can climb steep road and some stairs. Otherwise the hotel is one of the best property in Nainital.
"Located near Mal road with nice staff behaviour"
My visit is only for full enjoyment with family and the journey was very nice. The tall look was very nice from my staying room. So I have taken more and more snaps. The hotel was located near to the Mall Road. I faced no problem to find this hotel. Behaviour of the staff members was nice. It was near to bus stand. The experience was good. It was a good stay in the hotel. Surroundings of the hotel was nice. The interior and exterior of the hotel was good. Overall the visit was very nice.
"Surroundings of the hotel were nice"
The experience was good. It was a good stay in the hotel. It was near to bus stand. Surroundings of the hotel were nice. The interior and exterior of the hotel was good. The staff were helpful, friendly and hygienic, they were quick to attend our requests. The room was spacious, neat, clean and well-maintained. All the amenities were in working condition. We had a lake view from the room. Check-in and check-out was done without any problem. The activities were not provided in the hotel. They didn't organize a sightseeing trip. I will recommend this hotel to other travellers. The food was good with many varieties. It was reasonable.
"Recommendable hotel ; no activities "
Over all experience was good. Hotel was good. Location was good. It was in the main city. Appearance was good. Staff and service was good. Rooms were not that good and well maintained. Washrooms, bath rooms were good. There was a lake view. Amenities were working properly. Pick-up and drop was available. It was a honey moon trip. Food was not good. There were no activities. Sight seeing was arranged. Hotel was value for money and I would like to recommend this hotel to others.
Top Reviews of KMVN Tourist Rest House Tallital
We booked KMVN Tallital for our weekend trip after reading the travel reviews and were quite happy with the outcome. One of the good reasons you should book this hotel is that it offers the most beautiful lakeside view. The hotels on the Mall road have obstructed views to the Naini lake because of the trees surrounding the lake and the hustle and bustle of people and vehicles swaying to and fro beneath. KMVN on the other hand is perpendicular to the Mall road and its altitude helps offer the perfect view to the Naini lake. Provided you are willing to climb some extra steps to get to the upper floors of this resort, you are assured of the most scenic and uninterrupted lake view here. Its proximity to the bus stand also is a plus point. We reached the hotel at 9 AM in the morning, and in spite of the check-in timing being 12 Noon, the manager checked the availability and readily offered us our booking before time. Also, the next day we checked out our room at 12 Noon and the hotel management was helpful to offer us the cloakroom for keeping our luggage. We then went ahead for a lake tour and came back to the hotel by evening to collect our luggage and board the bus back home. The rooms are pretty clean, food is simple yet good and service is nice. The hotel has maintained a nice garden near its front office which adds charm to this place. The hotel staff is courteous. Considering the economically priced tariff, this place offers you a very nice and pleasurable stay.
"had booked with a little trepidation,was wondering..."
had booked with a little trepidation,was wondering if a govt run property would be well run.Was pleasantly surprised .The location is excellent. we stayed for 3 nights in the royal rooms and they were really royal.huge area with open balcony overlooking the lake, a dining table, a sit out bed, a swing in the rooms itself.The bathrooms were the size of a room itself.While booking for nainital ,some of the well known resorts which appear on the different sites look promising.But when you reach the destination, you would realise that staying closer to the lake is a good thing to do otherwise the climb back to your hotels would have you huffing and puffing like a train.The breakfast is basic but good nutritious stuff espacially when travelling with kids.The staff is reasonably helpful.Most importantly the hotel is barely 3-4 minutes from the mall yet very peaceful so you would get the best of both worlds.My comments are based on the stay in the royal rooms ,i will not comment on the other rooms in the resort.All in all ,a good experience which just reaffirms the fact that govt properties which usually have prime locations ,if well run will deliver a holiday at honest prices.
"Nainital is a very beautiful place for tourists. T..."
Nainital is a very beautiful place for tourists. This was my maiden visit to Nainital. The city is located just beside the Naini Lake which is a major tourist attraction especially in the evening time. People of Nainital are very kind hearted and helpful.
"KMVN-Sarovar Resort, Nainital (Tallital) Tourism..."
KMVN-Sarovar Resort, Nainital (Tallital) Tourism Development Corporation is taking great efforts in Kumaon and this resort is the jewel in the crown of KMVN. This is the best hotel managed by KMVN, though may not be the best hotel in Nainital. All rooms and the restaurant have a nice view of the Naini Lake. Sarovar resort at Tallital is a decent place to live, spend hours looking at the beautiful Naini Lake and enjoy the cool weather. Go for the super deluxe rooms, they are the value for money. Not as expensive as other elite resorts but luxurious indeed. Food, Room Services, Housekeeping etc. – Do not expect very great food, its average in variety but good enough to complain about. (You may go to nearby Elphinstone hotel for a change of taste, they'll give you a nice veg & non-veg food.) The reception will not offer you a newspaper (although purchased for every room) till you demand. Hospitality industry is in a budding stage here. Activities – Boating in the naini lake at any hour of the day, morning walks around the lake, visiting various lakes in this 'lake district', enjoying a boat ride in 'Sat Tal' is more enjoyable than at Nainital. The 'kadhi-chawal' is a local treat after your boating. Tips for the travelers – - If you book a KMVN hotel at Nainital, do not go for the snow-view resort or another one of KMVN is the Sukha-Tal resort which doesn't give lake-view. Insist on Sarovar & Sarovar only. People go for the ropeway ride to the snow point, its just a kids' joy ride, except getting a panoramic view of the lake it doesn't offer anything great. You end up spending 2 hours in going and coming back.
"The hotel is good to stay during off season as the..."
The hotel is good to stay during off season as the tarrif goes down. Bathrooms are clean and spacious, Room size is also satisfactory. However, during peak season, when you spend more money, it doesn\'t meet up the expectations.

From coffee fields to college grad
WORTHINGTON -- Fabio Lopez realized at a young age that his homeland of Guatemala was not a land of opportunity.
The third of 11 children born into poverty, he was just 10 years old when he left his home and family behind and headed into Mexico for work on coffee plantations.
"We used to live in a civil war," he said. "I didn't see any opportunity to work (in Guatemala)."
With military and guerilla forces at odds, the war was "pretty bad" when it arrived at his village. Soldiers surrounded the schools and it was dangerous.
The villagers were indigenous people, Lopez said, and when the government established a termination policy against them, many fled to neighboring Mexico. While a peace treaty was signed in 1996, Lopez was far on his way to establishing a brighter future here in the United States.
He has not returned to Guatemala since he came to the U.S. in 1993 -- and with his refugee status due to political asylum, he will not be able to visit his home country until his pending case is settled.
"Some day I would like to visit, but not now," Lopez said. His parents still live in Guatemala, along with four sisters and two brothers. Five of his brothers, all of whom are classified as refugees resulting from political asylum, live in Worthington.
Journey to America
After leaving Guatemala behind at age 10, Lopez found work at large coffee plantations in Mexico.
"I started to work to survive," he said.
In exchange for his work, Lopez lived in a large barn on the farm with dozens of other workers. Because of his age, he only received a half-ration of food each day -- a ration that consisted of a tortilla and beans -- not near enough for a growing boy, he said.
Lopez returned to his family in Guatemala after the plantation work was completed each year, but since his parents had no money to send him to middle school and high school, there wasn't much he could do. He'd spend his days reading (he was hooked after reading a book about a French philosopher) and listening to Voice of America, as translated in Spanish, on his radio.
At age 16, Lopez permanently moved to Mexico, and two years later was granted approval to enter the United States. By then, his oldest brother was living in Columbus, Ga.
"I was supposed to go there, but I ended up in Florida," said Lopez, who worked on large tomato, pepper and cucumber farms.
When he finally made it to Georgia, Lopez lived with his brother and spent the next six or seven years working for Tyson's chicken plant in Columbus.
Value of education
It was while living in the South that Lopez learned of a migrant worker education program. Intrigued, he agreed to seek his General Educational Development (G.E.D.) diploma.
"When I moved to the city there were so many books there to read," he said. "It became my pastime. I never dreamed of going to college -- there was no way -- it wasn't an opportunity."
"Back home, a high school diploma was for smart people," he added.
When Lopez took the G.E.D. test for the first time, he earned passing scores in three of the five test areas -- math, science and social. On his second attempt, he passed the language and literature portions, officially earning his G.E.D.
"They sent me a diploma," he said with a grin. "It wasn't serious for me at that time. I was working 14- and 16-hour days."
Working the night shift at Tyson, Lopez said he attended English classes during the day -- mostly for the fun of it, he said. Then, in 1998, he visited with a friend who was going to college.
The spark grew within Lopez, who then approached Columbus State University in Georgia to begin college coursework. After completing the college's entrance exam -- he passed the math portion that included algebra equations, but failed the English portion -- he was accepted into the college.
"I took English 99 because I had to learn how to write English," he said. "I also took some math classes. It was a challenge, but I made it."
When Lopez and his brother moved to Worthington five years ago, Lopez continued his quest for higher education. He completed two years at Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Worthington, and went on to graduate from Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in Spanish education.
"I like to teach, but sometimes it's frustrating," he said. Most frustrating for him is the students who don't really want to learn.
Today, Lopez has returned to the classroom -- working toward his master's degree in business administration. He hopes one day to work for a large public or private company. He has one more year at SMSU before completing the program, and works as a graduate assistant in the business department at the college.
While Lopez still struggles some with the English language, it is getting easier for him.
"Now I read a lot in English," he said. "I still have problems to write the perfect essay."
Splitting his time between Marshall -- he has an apartment there -- and Worthington, where he lives with four of his brothers, Lopez said he still calls Worthington home.
His college diploma and continued quest for education has inspired at least one of his siblings, said Lopez. His brother Augusto, 30, is thinking of going to school.
If it weren't for a scholarship Lopez received from the Nobles County Integration Collaborative, he isn't sure he would have ever been able to attend college.
"The problem is we don't have all of the opportunities to go to college," he said. "There are barriers."
Living in the United States for the last 16 years, Lopez said he is thankful to be here as a refugee.
"The things that I like about the United States is everything is so nice, and there is a law also that they enforce," Lopez said. "For me, it has been a blessing.
"I have my intellectual knowledge -- I found the Lord here, the God I was looking for, for a long time," he added. "Thank the Lord that I found that here -- that's the most important, my spiritual life. I got saved in 2004."
A member of Worthington Baptist Temple, Lopez said he thinks back to the time in his home country, when his dad was taken hostage by the Guatemalan military. Lopez and his mother prayed for his safe return, and when he came back home, Lopez said he decided right there that he wanted to learn the true Gospel.
"I truly believe that He guides me in everything I do," Lopez said. "Now, if the Lord wills, I want to be a missioner."

The most popular supplements (and for good reasons!) are Omega Oils, Probiotics and Glucosamine.
When choosing a good omega oil EPA and DHA concentration as well as taste and form (liquid, softgels) are good places to start.
Probiotics can be a bit tricky as not only the number of live organisms but also the scientific strain - e.g. Lactobacillus Acidophilus - are important. If you need some help just ask Dr. Lifestyle for some personalised advice!
The most exciting development in Glucosamine supplements is that an Italian company has been able to create a vegetarian option that is produced by micro organisms (the only natural source for Glucosamine are shellfish shells)

Roma to tie Curci down
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Roma are offering a new contract to Gianluca Curci to fend off rival interest.
Roma are offering a new contract to Gianluca Curci to fend off rival interest from Manchester United and Monaco.
The young keeper has admirers from The Premiership and Ligue 1 and Roma want to tie him down to a professional contract this summer.
Milan have also been alerted by the Italian's possible availability as he signed a contract with Roma that, although lasting until 2009, was only worth a relatively small amount of é¼2,000 per month.
Talks have started with Curci's agent and a fresh deal worth up to é¼250,000 a season could be agreed, which will prolong his association with the capital club until 2011.
Roma have joint-ownership of the rookie shot-stopper with Palermo and need to resolve that before confirming the deal.

The Abbott government's long-term forecasts for surpluses have been bolstered by an unheralded accounting change that includes for the first time earnings from the Future Fund in the budget bottom line.
In one of the most important projections in the budget, Treasury said this year's $41 billion deficit will narrow close to zero by 2020 before turning into six consecutive surpluses averaging 0.5 per cent of gross domestic product through to 2026.
However it has emerged that the surplus predictions have been significantly boosted by the inclusion from 2020-21 of earnings from the $117 billion Future Fund.
While the change was mentioned deep inside last month's Intergenerational Report, Tuesday's budget papers provided no justification or detailed explanation for the accounting switch.
Between 31 per cent and 56 per cent of the Abbott government's hoped-for surpluses from 2020-21 to 2025-06 will come from the fund, according to an indicative analysis provided to AFR Weekend by Saul Eslake, chief economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"It's probably in accordance with accounting standards, but given its significance to the overall result, it would have been appropriate for the government to make it more obvious than in the footnote to a chart in the budget," Mr Eslake said.
The numbers reinforce that this week's budget includes almost no measures to improve what has become an entrenched structural budget deficit that is set to last well into next decade.
Budget experts warn that the surpluses projected for next decade in Tuesday's budget are likely to be a fraction of what Treasury says is a typical annual forecasting error - of around 1 per cent of GDP.
Faced by the need to restore its battered political fortunes and boost business confidence, the government used this weeks' budget to dramatically slow the pace of short-term fiscal repair, delaying the return to surplus and tough decisions on future actions.
"We've still got more work to do," Treasurer Joe Hockey said this week. "And we know we that we've got to continue to reduce the size of government, and we know that we've got to do it in a balanced way."
The accounting treatment for the Future Fund, which was established in 2006 by former Coalition treasurer and the fund's current chairman, Peter Costello, has long been a vexing issue for budget experts.
The fund was created to cover the Commonwealth's unfunded pension liabilities, which were estimated in Tuesday's budget to be $167 billion this year, growing to $282 billion by 2050.
In the last three federal budget updates – covering the 2014 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO), the 2014 budget and the 2013 MYEFO – Future Fund earnings were excluded from Treasury's 10-year-long projections for the underlying cash balance.
Last month, in an explanatory note buried towards the end of the Intergenerational Report, the government said it would include the earnings in five year's time.
While there are sound arguments for counting the Fund's coming revenue in the budget bottom line, the timing of the start date has delivered a significant boost to the bottom line in the very first year that the government expects to deliver a surplus.
John Daley, chief executive of the Grattan Institute, defended the switch as "not completely crazy," but said that absent the extra money, the surplus in 2020-21 would have been considerably smaller.
"It is government money, and the costs of the public service superannuation scheme are very much [real] costs, so it's fair enough they put the Future Fund earnings through the underlying cash balance," he said.
Mr Daley said even with the inclusion of the Future Fund income, the size of the government's projected surpluses next decade were "very much a rounding error."
Mr Eslake said the accounting change also meant the government had effectively downplayed the size of its spending as a proportion of GDP, with outlays to reach 25.6 per cent of GDP over the last two years of the 10-year projection. "That's 0.6 percentage points higher than the average for the full five years of Labor governments," he said.

Americana Decorating
The joyful spirit of American pride is always celebrated here at Sturbridge Yankee Workshop. Americana themed decorating can be bold in style or expressed through subtle patriotic undertones. It can be shown through obvious use of red, white and blue, or it may simply highlight the idea or message of pride, honor and patriotism.
Americana could be your new decorating style of choice and at Sturbridge Yankee Workshop, we make it easy for you to carry out. Here is a quick look at some of the Americana country home accents you can find in our catalog and online.
|Americana on Parade
Showcase your patriotism in every room and all year long with home accents like Americana themed candles, coasters and more.
The Starry Night Curtain Collection features stenciled stars on cotton and offers patriotic spirit even after summer is over. Our US Flag, 1776 and Blue Star Americana Tapers give a rustic Americana look to any room, and offer warm lighting without the worry of an open flame.
Patriotic Wall Art
At Sturbridge Yankee Workshop we also have a wide variety of patriotic themed prints and signs for your walls. Historic faces, events and vintage inspired signs will be just the addition you need for your Americana decorated home. Start simple with an American face we all recognize, that of Abraham Lincoln, shown here on the Abe Lincoln Folk Art Print by folk artist Tim Campbell. Rustic Metal Stars offer country charm in addition to patriotic symbolism inside or outside your home. Following these themes, it is easy to see why Christopher John's cozy and vibrant Old Glory Print would be a welcome addition to any Americana themed home, as well as the whimsical America the Bee-utiful Print.
Red, White & Blue for Pillows, Too
Accent every seat in your home with patriotic pillows that offer style and comfort, all at the same time. The Patriotic Strawberries Pillow is a sweet touch anytime of year, matching with other fruit or nature-inspired decor. Our Liberty Stripe Toss Pillow can be used either inside on a couch or settee, or outside on a porch or deck chair where it can be enjoyed by all during warm weather events. This Americana Flowers Pillow features a delightful array of stars, stripes and flowers by artist Sally Eckman Roberts in hand hooked wool.
Wave Your Flag with Pride
We see a lot of symbolism created through the use of an American flag and we have a variety of flags to choose from. Use a flag outside the front or back door to set the tone for your patriotic theme, and then carry that theme into your home by adding just the right accents to showcase your style in every room. Our 50 Star Flag is crafted from quality antiqued cotton for a truly vintage look. The Mini Fan Flag offers a festive option, and Uncle Sam will look great all year long in a kitchen or even a home office, proudly waving the American flag.

Note: Reclaiming Futures is not affiliated with the A&E television show, "Beyond 'Scared Straight,'" and it does not support the "Scared Straight" intervention.
"Scared Straight", the popular 1978 documentary by Arnold Shapiro, has been brought to television as "Beyond Scared Straight." I avoided watching the new reality television series because all the research shows the scare tactics of taking kids to jail for a day does not work. I was hoping that after one season the show would die and just go away. Unfortunately, it is back for a new season.
How does "Beyond Scared Straight" work? It is easy. You handcuff a few kids, take them on a tour of a jail, and let guards and prisoners scream at them all day until they break. After, the kids go home and never commit a crime again.
Of course, this is the desired end result. In reality, the television series does a follow-up with kids after 30 days and finds that some of the youth report that they have changed, while others say nothing has changed. The show I watched followed up with four kids after 30 days; two said their behavior had improved and two said nothing had changed. Not a very good success rate for 30 days later. I would guess that another follow-up after 90 days might show even worse results.
After "Scared Straight" became popular in the 1970s, a number of research reports evaluated children who went through the program compared to control groups and found that many of the youth who attended "scared straight" programs were actually worse off than the youth who had no intervention.
The kids that are successful with the scared straight program are the minor offenders, those who are labeled "at risk", who would have improved without any intervention. We know more about teenage behavior and brain development since the 70s. We now know that most teenagers who commit minor crimes grow out of the behavior. The young brain does not fully develop until the mid 20s and impulse control is weak, at best, in the teen years.
I hope the juvenile advocates keep up the debate on the "Beyond Scared Straight" series. I hate to see limited resources for proven effective youth services be siphoned off for another round of bad practices. Politicians love to cite these scared straight programs, but they are about as effective as the marriages from The Bachelor series.

I got married in march. My husband was sober and has been doing good. Now he is smoking K2. I keep taking it away but he still is bringing it home. I told him how i feel about that stuff but he won't listen. I have asked his mom for help she hase no advice. Any advice would be helpful.

With this I have some experience. He's like an addict. Make him choose between his K2 shit addiction and you. If he won't give it up move away without looking back. It will hurt for a while but the life you find away from him will be so much better than the hell he will put you (and any children) through for years to come.00|00|0

The throaty exhaust note at startup turns into a healthy rumble on acceleration, hinting at sounds the new 2013 Boxster may make as well, if we could get the annoying soundtrack off of the official video.
We'll keep you posted on more developments on the 2013 Cayman that will share in the new Boxster's updates, both visually and mechanically, but in the mean time, you can check out our own spy video of the 2013 Cayman, as well as our detailed spy shots.

So I met this guy last week, we had an amazing connection, talked for hours etc.. He asked my number and has been texting me a lot the past few days. He asked me out on a date but since I am studying really hard for my finals and he leaves for a long holiday when I finish those finals, we won't be able to see each other for at least a month. We go to college in different cities (not very far, but still) I've never been great at texting, however with this guy I find myself really excited to talk to him a lot. But because I am so busy and want to keep the conversation light, I just don't know what to text about. He has initiated every conversation so far and I would like to do the same. But when he asks how i am and what I did today, well.. nothing much, just working really hard :P.
Any tips how I can continue texting with him and keep him interested until we meet again?

Could President Barack Obama's recently announced executive order on immigration have a dire impact on Black employment? Some advocates and concerned African Americans say so.
Announced last week, President Obama's pending order would allow 4 million non-citizens previously in the United States without immigration status to obtain work authorization. That ability to work, however, could possibly cut into the little job opportunities afforded to the Black community, which currently has an unemployment rate of 10.7 percent. That rate is slowly inching toward double the rate of the nation's overall unemployment rate, which is at 5.8 percent.
Political reporter Lauren Victoria Burke brings up this very issue in an article published on The Root.
Despite what's at stake, Burke points out that Black political leaders have hailed the president's executive order on immigration rather than acknowledging its possible ramifications.
Some have called it "a defining civil and human rights issue of our time."
"We know that the nation's immigration system is broken and that the status quo does not serve our economic or long-term interests," said Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President Wade Henderson.
Burke writes:
Advocates are skipping over a difficult discussion about whether African Americans would be competing for the same blue-collar jobs many immigrants are likely to be vying for. Why?
The fact is that immigration activists are lobbying harder on behalf of their constituencies—and their efforts have been more effective—than any black civil rights group has been with respect to the issues and priorities of the black communities that they represent.
Obama's executive action, announced Thursday, is the second federal directive immigration activists have won. Recall that in 2012, the president issued an order, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, that halted deportations for undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as children if they applied for a deferral—and more than 500,000 people did. There wasn't much comment from black leaders in 2012 either.
Black leaders such as NAACP President Cornell William Brooks, Rev. Al Sharpton and Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. Bennie Thompson have all co-signed the president's immigration order.
"The executive action by the president is a huge step forward for the civil and human rights movement," Sharpton said. "This is a constructive way to deal with a human problem in which everyone wins."
Though the Black community's leadership doesn't seem to be concerned about the impact of immigrants possibly snatching up jobs, employment remains the number one issue for Black Americans.
"So while many civil rights groups appear to be on automatic pilot in their support for immigration reform, they may be out of step with many of the people they say they represent," Burke writes. "Perhaps soon, civil rights leaders will publicly address what the overall effect of granting 5 million more non-citizens the right to work might be on black unemployment."

Shrimp and Avocado Quesadillas
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr
Recipe by bosp2000
Just created this recipe and I think it's delicious, I hope you enjoy it. Recipe can be prepared beforehand but should be reheated in a 350 Oven for about 8 minutes in order to keep quesadillas crisp. DO NOT use Microwave or they will be soggy.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled
- 4 jalapeno peppers, diced (I usually include the seeds from 2 of them because I like the quesadillas spicy)
- 1⁄2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1⁄2 lime (once avocado chopped squeeze lime juice on avocado)
- 8 ounces shredded mexican cheese or 8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack cheese
- 8 large tortillas
- canola oil (for frying)
Directions See How It's Made
- Place approximately 1-2 tb of oil in 12" Non-stick saute pan over med-hi heat. Cook shrimp approximately 2 minutes per side (until cooked thru), set aside to cool, chop and put in bowl. In same pan or in a smaller fry pan, saute the chopped peppers (and seeds) for approximately 8-10 minutes, add to bowl with shrimp; add chopped cilantro; add chopped avocado and mix.
- In 12" non-stick pan, over med-hi heat, add about 1 tb of oil; add 1 tortilla, working quickly, add a handful of shredded cheese on 1/2 the tortilla, add some of the shrimp/avocado mix, cook until tortilla turns golden brown about 90 seconds-2 minutes (adjust heat as necessary), fold side with no ingredients over the other 1/2, press slightly to adhere sides, remove to cutting board and if you have a pizza cutter, cut in 4 wedges; repeat with remaining 7 tortillas. As an appetizer can serve 10-12 people.

It's been so long...
I apologize if this is a bit too much information... But as women we get it, and I know you'll understand. Charlie slept in his crib last night. For 5 months (exactly 5 months) I've been laying next to that bassinet listening to him breathe. Making sure he's breathing, peeking over the side to watch his tummy rise and fall. But I didn't want to get stuck. It's important that Charlie is in his crib, in his own room.
We hooked up the baby monitor (does the interference on those things freak anyone else out?) And I laid my head on his chest. And he held me all night. It's been so long since we slept like that. Usually we start out kinda-sorta-maybe close and it ends up the same... with him on his back and me way over on my side by the bassinet.
So.. I was awake most of the night just listening. But Charlie did so good, and I got out of bed feeling so close to the bf.
Did that happen for anyone else? Maybe not the exact thing.. but have any milestones brought you closer?
I'm trying to think of milestones that brought the man and I closer, the only thing that comes to mind is the kids getting old enough to sleep over at friends houses. Having a night alone can be really great.

To the Editor:
Regarding ''Fighting Highway Aggression With a Phone Number'' (News and Topics, July 26) Bill Kent should have a look at Michael Fumento's piece in the August 1998 Atlantic Monthly '' 'Road Rage' Versus Reality.''
Mr. Kent fails to point out that nationally there has been no statistically significant change in motor vehicle fatalities from 1991 through 1997, the period when we discovered so-called road rage. Mr. Fumento mounts quite an argument indicating that road rage is more of a media construct rather than a real phenomenon. The fact that New Jersey has spent $500,000 confronting a nonexistent epidemic and has been able to obtain a measurable result indicates just how bizarre this can all get. There is no doubt that some drivers do strange, dangerous things. However that does not constitute an epidemic or anything requiring any unique effort to address.

I have anxiety and today I am going to tell the guy I like that I have feelings for him. I know he wants to date me because he told my friend he does (she showed me the messages) and I am extremely nervous. Usually people only tell me they like me online- cause generally people online are the only ones who want to date me.
Most Helpful Guy
First of all he is probably as anxious as you are about discussing your mutual feelings. Online personalities are strange some escape into a somewhat false personality while others and I think I am right in saying this includes you feel a disconnect from their anxieties and insecurities in real life begin to portray more of their true selves.
I have a very simple tip for social anxiety there are people in this world who are close to me who think I am amazing and even over the years people have developed romantic feelings for me (my personal theory for that one is a comic book nuclear accident that affects otherwise normal people).
So taking my logic forward if people want to date you online and I think that is closer to your real personality that bodes well for the you in real life just let more of your true self out.
Anyway I think you are an amazing young girl who is really pretty and with a nod to your take yesterday, I have a gut feeling the odds are in your favour with this guy. Good luck but I don't think you need it.11|00|0

Survey reveals higher Indigenous population
A survey of Aboriginal households in Broome has found the town's Indigenous population is much higher than previously thought.
One-thousand households were surveyed for a study commissioned by the Yawuru Corporation to produce a clearer picture of the demographics of Aboriginal families.
The study shows more than 60 per cent are in government housing.
Once itinerant family members, visiting from communities are taken into account, occupancy averaged almost nine people per property.
Australian National University professor John Taylor directed the study and says the findings will be very useful.
"Housing conditions are not the same across Broome," he said.
"If you look at the data for Kennedy Hill and One Mile you'll see that the conditions there in terms of overcrowding and housing maintenance issues and so on stand out as major issues, whereas elsewhere that's less the case.
"So it allows for a more nuanced discussion of need across the community.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before, anywhere, in the sense an Aboriginal group has mobilised to gather information for themselves for their own purposes.
"Usually this is used ... [by] some government agency like the Bureau of Statistics and often it's found wanting."

Columnist's Note: I wrote this memory years ago, and each summer I am reminded of it by someone who also walked the streets of Sedalia on those tacky tar streets that were common during our childhoods. With the temperature nearing triple digits all last week I thought it would be a good time to bring out the story of my barefoot days, a memory that I am sure I share with a lot of people my age.
In the heat of a summer day when it is so hot you can almost see flames rise off an asphalt road, I think back to the tar streets of my youth, and wonder how it was that as a bare foot boy I could run across them, and never get a blister. I suppose it could have been all those calluses I built up during the summer months. The tar on those streets, like the one that ran by my house on Fifth and Emmit, changed consistency depending on the temperature, from a hard brittle in cold weather, to a tacky rug ruining substance, that coated bare feet an inch thick on hot summer days, today's improved sphalt is not supposed to do that they say.
Running barefoot in those carefree days was not only desirable, but economically necessary, for most kids in my neighborhood, because shoes were for school, church, or company, but during the summer everyday shoes were a luxury many families couldn't afford. It may seem funny today with secondhand stores, and garage sales everywhere, but people usually wore out their own clothes in the pre 60s days.
I always got a stiff new pair of (Spalding Black Dot Tennis Shoes) at the start of each school year, but by the final bell, of that year they had so many rough miles on them, they could hardly be classified as footwear anymore. The tops and soles would have lost most of the stitching that held them together by then, and they only looked like whole shoes when I stood still allowing the two halves to settle back together. I always discarded those sad looking husks, along with any papers the teachers might send home with me, as soon as I cleared school property.
There was a feeling of complete freedom in that simple act, and I could tell my feet appreciated it too, as they spread out like lazy dogs on a hot afternoon, when I freed them for another summer. My feet would become rock hard during summer vacation allowing me to run over any surface that happened along my path, and although I would pick up a nail now and then, as well as bee stings, and stone bruises, they could only slow me down for a minute, before I was off again to run over rocks, cinders, and those tacky tar roads. I remember getting in a lot of trouble, when I stuck to one of mom's clean rugs, or freshly waxed linoleum floors, when I'd forget to scrape it off before entering the house.
The only things that would interrupt the freedom from footwear, were Sunday School, or company. Mom kept a pair of leather prisons in the closet for those occasions, and would force them onto my poor spread out feet like cruel torture chambers, that I was forced to endure until church was over, or the relatives finally went home.
The phrase I dreaded the most back then was, "It's time to shop for school shoes." It was like hearing I was being sentenced to nine months at hard labor, because those words meant school days were almost here again.
The man at the shoe store would shake his head at my tar stained, callused feet, as he shoe horned my feet into their restrictive cells, and I could see there was sympathy in his eyes, perhaps because he remembered his own barefoot days. I don't recall how old I was when shoeless summers were no longer possible for me, but even now as a 70 plus boy, when the restrictions of adulthood, and work gets me down, I like to walk into the back yard, take off my shoes, and feel grass slip between my bare toes. It takes me back to those barefoot days for a little while, and though I can't run very fast anymore, and I'm not brave enough to venture onto gravel, or asphalt roads without shoes, it is tempting sometimes.
I took some kidding after this story ran, but I did find out there are still a lot of grown up kids out there, who like me remember their barefoot days.

OK, I know for a fact that my boyfriend loves me very, very much. But what I'm wondering is if he wants to take the next step in our relationship. Here's some reasons why I think he might want to get married...
- He keeps mentioning marriage to me in everyday conversations. For example, he's told me that if we got married he could take care of my college expenses when my scholarship runs out in a couple years. He's also said that we would have to plan our wedding around my "time of the month." lol (this was after I had a really bad case of PMS)
- He wants to get our picture taken at a professional photographer so we can give the pictures as Christmas presents.
- He asked my parents what they wanted for Christmas presents. My mom said she wanted a grandson. He joked around and told her that it would probably be a little difficult to do before Christmas, but definitely later.
- He's told me that he wanted me to be the mother of his children.
- He lost his virginity to me. He told me that he was waiting around for the right person, and he finally found her... me.
- He told me he's never felt this way about a girl before.
- We've never gone a day without talking, and when I'm sick he's always there to take care of me and he constantly asks me how I'm feeling.
- He loves spending money on me. And, hey, I don't mind. =)
- Also, family is very important to him. He's a soldier and he just recently came home from Iraq. His brother is getting married next year when he comes home from the war, and his sister is getting married soon, but she lives with her fiance and two children. For both of us, family is extremely important and we both want to keep our families close. He's close to my mom. My mom and I work together, so when he stops by to see me at work, he always goes and jokes around with my mom before he leaves. I also work with his mom, and we talk all the time.
I'm just wondering if he could have marriage on the mind. Does he want to take the next step?
Is he thinking about marriage??

We will be moving my daughter into a room with a recessed skylight. Any thrifty ideas for an inexpensive shade or blind? The blinds on line are nearly $200. In my own bedroom, we have the same light, and I hooked up a curtain on two rods, but we can't actually open it or it falls off. I want something in her room that we can close and open. Thanks!

What if you make a curtain the way you did in your room but you use two panels. You could push them to either side to "open" them. They would probably side easy enough on the two rods to do that! Good luck! :)
Couldn't you put a piece of cloth over rope? then you could manipulate the opening/closing of the skylight area easily. (You could also use shade cloth... or a bamboo roller blind used sideways)
Velcro on 3 sides, fixed on the 4th? Sticky velcro is awesomely easy.
Here is a couple of fixes for a skylight.
Fabric fix - make a curtain
Measure the opening and cut your choice of fabric 2 inches wider then width of opening and 6 inches longer than the length of the opening. Hem width sides by folding 1/2 inch over twice and topstitch at the outside edge and the folded under edge. For the length, fold over at 3 inches top and bottom and stitch as close to the outside edges as you can. Take the unfinished edge of the fabric and fold under 1/2 inch and topstitch laying flat so the you have a tube like tunnel with open edges at both sides. Purchase correct size of compression rods for the skylight opening, slide thru tube ends and install your fitted fabric curtain.
Plastic Fix - make it look like a light and still get some light
Purchase Crushed Ice plastic replacement lens from Home Depot or other home supply company and purchase enough 1/2 inch quarter round stock to completely encircle opening. Measure and cut the crushed ice to fit inside the opening. Measure & cut the 1/2 inch quarter round stock, miter corners to fit the four sides of the opening. Check the fit of both the plastic and the wood pieces BEFORE you do the finished installation. Put your plastic into the opening first and attach each wood strip with screws, keeping the edges flush with the edge of skylight opening to hold the plastic in place.
We did the 'plastic fix' on our kitchen skylight and LOVE IT! We still get daytime natural light and it keeps heat from escaping in winter and keeps kitchen cooler in the summer. Hope this helps!
http://www.theh … es_overview.html for professinal skylight shades. But you could do it yourself- go to the hardware store and buy window screen frames- the thick kind- make sure... go online and buy some solar fabric- and screw the frame in or hold it in place with swivel hooks- should run you about $40 for all of it.
