The World’s First Faucet-Mount Touch-Free Adaptor! Save Water up to 70% Good for the Environment and Saves You Money Prevent the spreading of Flu or infectious diseases The Touch-Free EZ Faucet Adaptor is the world’s only patented faucet-mount automatic faucet system that requires no plumbing modification. This saves you installation time and money. This adaptor also prevents cross-contamination because you don’t have to worry about having to turn off the sink once you’ve washed your hands. And because water only runs while you’re using it, you end up using less water. Not only will you be saving money, you’ll also be helping to preserve our natural resources. The adaptor is also perfect for households with kids or pets because it helps cut down on the spread of germs. Plus, it makes it fun to wash your hands. What it is: Makes any existing kitchen and bathroom faucet fully automated by infrared sensor. Just simply mount the patented EZ Faucet Touch-Free Sensor Adaptor to your existing faucet. How it works: After mounting to any standard faucet, you simply run your hands (or whatever you are washing, filling, or getting wet) under the faucet and your water comes on automatically. It will then stay on until you move from under the sensor. You can also override the automatic feature by pressing the manual override button. This allows the water to run for three minutes until you press the manual override button again, sending it back to the automatic feature. Who Cares? All people especially families with elderly and children. Why bother? Make life easier and prevent contamination of germ through touching the faucet and handle. Elderly with Arthritis needs EZ Faucet. Children left water running is history. Also save water up to 70%. Convenience : Turns water on or off without touching anything. The Infrared sensor detects movement and do all the works. Safety : Prevents spreading of flu or other infectious diseases through touching the faucets’ handles. Did you ever

by Robert T. Kiyosaki & Sharon L. Lechter Trans by Hyeong, Seonho Korean title: Buja Appa Gananhan Appa Vol.1 size: 21×14.8cm 286pages. publisher: Hwanggeumgaji, 2000. In his explosive financial manuals, Robert T. Kiyosaki suggests that perhaps you shouldn’t have taken Dad’s advice, encouraging a new look at an old financial mind-set. The subtitle of Rich Dad, Poor Dad says it all: “What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!” Contending that the wealthy have learned to make money work for them, rather than toiling for the almighty dollar, Kiyosaki reveals the secrets to success his way. A millionaire himself, Kiyosaki’s own experience plays a part in his controversial financial guidebooks. His real father, an educated, diligent man who became superintendent of education in Hawaii, gave his son the traditional fatherly counsel about hard work and financial gain. He died broke and bitter. Kiyosaki’s “second father,” his friend Mike’s dad, was a high school dropout who taught Kiyosaki all that he now knows to be true about money. His “rich dad” lived up to Kiyosaki’s affectionate name for him, becoming one of Hawaii’s wealthiest men. Robert Kiyosaki’s philosophy including the assertion that a high income does not a wealthy person make forms the cornerstone of his remarkable books, and his message is clear: “Take responsibility for yourfinancesor take orders all your life. You’re either a master of money or a slave to it.” With Kiyosaki’s guidance, explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich, challenge the belief that your house is an asset, and refuse to rely on the school system to teach kids about money. These books which exploded onto bestseller lists back in 1997 when the authors published them under their own Tech Press imprint will help anyone who’s serious about claiming control of his or her financial future. Discover what to teach your kids about money and they will benefit in ways you did not.

Mary Tyler Moore Show: The Complete First Season 4PC Most of The Mary Tyler Moore Show’s first-season episodes deal with Mary’s efforts to acclimate herself to her new surroundings, her new job, and her new friends, and also her ongoing search for “Mr. Right” in the dating field. Incidentally, when the series was in development, Mary was supposed to have been a divorce, but this notion was squelched when CBS executives, acknowledging the popularity of Mary Tyler Moore’s previous series The Dick Van Dyke Show, worried that audiences would conclude that “Rob and Laura Petrie” had broken up! In another bit of trivia, it should be noted that the original pilot of The Mary Tyler Moore Show had been filmed in the traditional one-camera “movie” style, minus a live studio audience. That the decision to shoot the series with three cameras in front of a crowd was a wise one can be determined by a peek from the existing clip of the first pilot’s “Mary meets Lou” sequence: the characters are there, the lines are there, but the warmth, the heart, and the immediacy are not. This Collection Includes The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Love Is All Around The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Today I Am a Ma’am The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Bess, You Is My Daughter Now The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Divorce Isn’t Everything The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Keep Your Guard Up The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Support Your Local Mother The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Toulouse-Lautrec Is One of My Favorite Artists The Mary Tyler Moore Show: The Snow Must Go On The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Bob and Rhoda and Teddy and Mary The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Assistant Wanted, Female The Mary Tyler Moore Show: 1040 or Fight The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Anchorman Overboard The Mary Tyler Moore Show: He’s All Yours The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Howard’s Girl The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Party Is Such Sweet Sorrow The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Just a Lunch The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Second

In these trying times, with so many Americans being laid off, hours cut, salaries froze, investments lost, mortgage challenges and so much more, I’m often asked, “How can I make some money?” Months of research have led to 5 ways that the average American can raise money with the least impact on their family. Sure the simple answer of get another or part time job may work for some but not all. In one case a woman taking on a part time job, after paying gas and child care was only brining home under $100 a month. There has to be a better way that allows her to be home with the kids and still bring in at least $100 a month.

If you need some cash quick or want a little extra each month try the following suggestions:

1. Sell Your Talents: We all have talents that others could use and make us money at the same time. A friend recently shared how she started to bring in an extra $80 a week by giving piano lessons. A neighbor of hers had to cut back on their children’s piano lessons, the place they were taking lessons at required a certain amount of lessons a week and they could only afford half of what was required. So my friend is now giving lessons to her neighbor and others in the sub division. Others have started mending clothes, repairing cars, typing resume’s and the most interesting sell of a talent is a previous student who is making money helping people make money by handling their sale items on line (see number 2). What talent do you have that can bring in a few extra dollars?

1. Sell Your Stuff: With the technology we have today you could have a good old fashion garage sale without ever leaving your home. Selling on E Bay could turn into a part time business, or you can simply sell the items you no longer need. I had a client that made over $3,000 selling collectibles she no longer wanted to dust; she said that the proceeds covered almost six months of groceries. I met a man a year ago that sold an old comic book collection, the price he got for that collection allowed him to pay off his mortgage. Yes, pay off his mortgage. If you are not internet savvy you can go with the traditional garage or yard sale to make some extra money.

1. Sell Your Time: Instead of a part time job, what about a temporary job. Substitute teaching, census work, or utilizing the service of a temp agency. Many folks work on the days they want, at the times good for their families and bring in $100-$600 a week doing temp work. Recently an owner of a healthcare temp agency shared how they are struggling to find people to fill temp positions. Make the call; see what you can find to meet your time and family’s needs. Check out usajobs.gov for areas looking for census workers. Call your local schools to see if they need substitute teachers many schools now do all the scheduling right on line so the control of your schedule is at your fingertips.

1. Start a Business: Even a business at part time hours can bring in a few hundred dollars a month. Maybe that talent of yours that you thought only friends and family members would pay for can turn into a small business. The owner of the healthcare temp agency I mentioned took her knowledge and years of experience and bought an existing business that is now booming, even in this economy. A graphic designer earns enough each month to pay his monthly mortgage payment from his small marketing business. If you choose this way to raise money, just make sure you do it right. Take a class or the very least read a book on starting a business and make sure you create a business plan. Many local community colleges have departments that provide assistance, mentoring, networking, etc. to new business owners at minimal to no cost.

1. Check your taxes: If your income was greatly reduced over the last year, you could get some of the tax dollars back that you paid in previous years by averaging out your income; this requires you consulting with a good tax preparer/accountant. A few realtors I know are taking advantage of the income averaging, since two years ago they sold more housed then they could count and in 2008 they sold less than a handful. While you are there have them check your deductions one too many is cash you could be getting every payday.

There’s always ways to save money, by cutting costs but sometimes we need to increase the money coming in just to make ends meet, looking into these different options can bring in that needed cash. The key so many people are looking for is way to do it with minimal cost to their family and children in terms of time away from them. Anyone one of these suggestions can work for you. We all have those “gotta have” items we paid premium dollars for that now can make us some money and we have options that will allow the time required to be what’s convenient for us and our families. Utilizing just one of these suggestions can help you get the cash you need

Every parent wants to send their child off school with a good, healthy lunch. Mine did. However, many parents mistake a good lunch as one filled with attractively-packaged, sugary, expensive items. This should not be the case. Packing a brown bag lunch will be less expensive than having your child buy lunch. Also, on top of saving money by making lunches this article explains, through personal experience, how to save even more money by watching what you put into those lunches.

My typical lunch growing up was a PB&J sandwich, a bag of chips, some variation of fruit (applesauce, fresh fruit, or yogurt), and two cookies. I had this lunch, with a few changes once in a while, every day at school… for twelve years. It’s not a huge lunch but I survived, my parents saved money, and you and your kids can too.

So, you’re probably asking, “Well then, what should I put into my child’s lunch?” The answer begins at the grocery store. Divide the lunch into four categories- a main item (sandwich or leftover pizza), a side (chips, crackers), a fruit/veggie or variation (apple, banana, applesauce), and a small dessert (cookies). This will ensure that the lunch has enough to fill its owner and give him or her the necessary nutrients to succeed in school. To start saving money you need to follow these easy steps:

1. Avoid expensive, unnecessary items (i.e. juice boxes, soda, fruit roll-ups, and other sugary packaged foods)

   1. Drinks. Kids do not need juice boxes or sodas in their lunch. Every school and business place has some sort of a drinking fountain or water dispenser. Water is the best drink for you and best of all, it’s free! I never had in 12 years of school any kind of drink in my lunch. It saved my parents tons of money and forced me to be healthier.

   2. Treats. Avoid those unnecessary treats like fruit roll-ups or ding dongs. These items are full of sugar, are not filling, can cause obesity, and are very expensive. Eliminate these from your shopping list. I still believe something sweet is a good way to end a meal so instead replace the expensive items with cheap store brand cookies. They come in large packs, are cheap, and taste very close to the brand name. This way, you can stick two little cookies in a baggie and still have a treat in your lunch (except this way it will be a lot cheaper). By the way, if you are worried about the store brand thing, it’s a cookie! It can’t taste that much worse than a brand name cookie.

2. Buy your items in bulk

   1. Sandwiches. If you’re going to be buying sandwich items such as peanut butter or lunch meat, buy the biggest package possible for the best price. You’re going to be using it every day and that means it probably will not be going to waste. Buying a small jar of peanut butter every week or two will end up costing a whole lot more over the course of a year than if you bought a big jar that lasted a month or two.

   2. Side Items. Buy the big boxes of chips or Costco-sized packages of individual applesauce. Smaller packages are going to cost much more than buying the big box or bag. It might cost a little more up front but will save lots of money in the end.

3. Be Smart.

   1. Buy the cheapest bread. Your kids will not know a difference.

   2. Shop Around. Invest some time viewing the ads that come in your local newspaper before going to the grocery store. Clip some coupons and be sure you are buying at the cheapest price. A box of chips might be on sale for three bucks at one store and regularly-priced at five at another. It might take a little more time but you’ll know it is worth it when you start to see the money you save.

   3. Store brands. Stick to the store brands (unless it is in fact horrible, but in most cases, they won’t be).

   4. Lay down the law. If your kids are with you in the store, tell them that if they ask for it, they won’t get it.

Once you have your groceries, it is time to pack the lunch.

1. Have the kids make their own lunch. They will appreciate the lunch much more once lunchtime rolls around. It will give them a sense of accomplishment and force them not to take you for granted. I’ve made my own lunch since the second grade so do not think your child can not.

2. Set limits. Set a limit for what each person can bring each day. If you decide to buy cookies, make sure to let everyone know that two is the maximum per day, etc.

Note: If your children are used to much bigger lunches full of sugary treats, they might be upset at first. Do not give in. Remember, you are saving money and helping to ensure your child does not become obese.

Follow the steps mentioned above and I guarantee you will save plenty of money.
