Over the last week, I have won 3 auctions. I spent $116 to buy TCredits. I used MRP to purchase a BlueRay DVD player for myself, and also purchased, at auction a BlueRay DVD player for a Christmas present, a Jurrasic Park blueray DVD set and 50 TCredits formyself, and a night vision camcorder for a Birthday gift. In all I spent less than $25 on the auctions and the shipping of the BlueRay player and still have 280 TCredits left. So, for about $80, I received well over $600 worth of merchandise. Thank you PriceBenders Ray

Fetch! Pet care

This company, Fetch!PetCare, provides a new level of service to pet owners who often require pet sitting or pet walking duties. This is a franchise company, listed in the 2008 Inc. 5000, that is within the financial capability of many home-based entrepreneurs; the opportunity is discussed later. The pet industry is number six among the fastest growing in the US, with sales forecast this year at $43.4 billion. The company uses a network of over 3,800 pet sitters. With these numbers they are able to offer on-demand emergency sitters almost anywhere they are needed to provide in-home services if customers want it. The pet business is thriving because, as the CEO of Fetch!PetCare says, "Pets don't know that we are in an economic downturn.” To be approved for a franchise, you must have a strong credit history and a minimum liquid financial net worth of $15,000. Additional required investment varies by what your business strategy is. A possible example is: Initial franchise fee: $12,000 Training, advertising, and equipment: $8,295 to $24,500 Total Investment: $20,295 to $36,500 This is an attractive and inexpensive franchise for these rough times. It requires a low investment, you have a lot of on-call help so you don’t kill yourself trying to take care of your customers, and there is lots of repeat business. In addition to sitting services, there is a store offering pet and people clothes and many other accessories and supplies—another way for you to make money from the same customer base for whom you provide other services. The company provides no financing, but they will help you find sources of money through a list of microloan lenders in your state; you can see this list here.

Rin Tin Tin: From Battlefield To Hollywood, A Story Of Friendship

I found the following story on the NPR iPad App:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2011/09/24/140746523/rin-tin-tin-from-battlefield-to-hollywood-a-story-of-friendship?sc=ipad&f=1008

Rin Tin Tin: From Battlefield To Hollywood, A Story Of Friendship
by Linda Holmes

NPR - September 24, 2011

The story of how Rin Tin Tin became one of the most celebrated animals in film history is almost as Hollywood-tinged as cinema itself.

The short version: Lee Duncan, an American serviceman during World War I, found a mostly destroyed dog kennel right on the field of battle. Duncan rescued the pup who became Rin Tin Tin, brought him home to California, and later put him in the movies.

Author Susan Orlean's new book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life And The Legend, traces the history of Duncan and "Rinty," as Duncan called him, exploring both the career of a very famous dog and the relationship he shared with the owner who both adored him as a pet and turned him into a very profitable business. On Weekend Edition Saturday, Orlean talks to Scott Simon about some of what she discovered in researching this unusual partnership between a man and his dog.

It wasn't a coincidence, she says, that Duncan was the one to rescue a pup who had no one; he had spent five years in an orphanage himself as a child. Even when the same mother who had left him there came back to get him, she took him to live with her parents on an isolated property with no other kids around. He did, however, get a dog. So perhaps it's no surprise that later, on the field of battle, surrounded by the death of the war, Duncan once again got a dog.

And not just any dog, Orlean argues, but an actor — one who, in the silent era where no one could speak, was on par with human actors. She uses Clash Of The Wolves — the film Scott Simon calls "his Hamlet" — to point out that in addition to being a fine action star and athlete, Rin Tin Tin had a face that was "immensely expressive." The film required Rinty to play scenes in which his character, if it can be called that, believes himself to be leaving his pack to die. "You're really affected by the look on his face and his performance," she says.

But whatever you believe about whether a dog can act, Rin Tin Tin shared one critical quality with the human actors of his time: He could not live forever. But after he was gone, Duncan was determined to keep the legacy alive, and would give Rinty's progeny to people who told him they'd always dreamed of having a dog just like him.

The death of this particular dog set off a national response: there was a news bulletin that interrupted regular programming, and the next day, there was an hourlong broadcast about Rin Tin Tin that played across the country. What's more, rumors flew about the precise circumstances in which the dog died, perhaps even that he died in the arms of Jean Harlow. Orlean says Rin Tin Tin's death, in this way, was "just like every other Hollywood death; much legend surrounded it."

Duncan wrote a poem called "Rin Tin Tin," which captures some of what he admired so much about his dog. It's reproduced here as it appears in the original, which you will see in a photo below.

Alert and ready for my slightest word,Rin Tin Tin I so often watch you stand;Eager to serve me for that high reward-A smile, or just a light touch of my hand.

Deaf to allurements of those standing bywhen I am near, and deaf when I'm away.Forever overjoyed at my returnHowever brief or lengthy is my stay.

Believing in me always, tho I fail,Your trust you gave but once, and that to me.Your's are the qualities that men hold high,Strength and pride and love and loyalty.

Wherever led my path you'd walk my way.And gladly give your life my own to save.Enduring pain and hunger, heat and cold-And broken hearted die upon my grave.

A real unselfish love like yours, old pal,Is something I shall never know again;And I must always be a better man,Because you loved me greatly, Rin Tin Tin. [Copyright 2011 National Public Radio]

Super Word of Mouth is the Internet marketers dream come true. I had joined for free then noticed that it was worth the 24 a month to do a full test.

Points are the way it pools out your income which encourages you to carry on conversations much like Facebook. I have already pooled $1.25 cents within the first two days of my gold status. Other incentive is your online business is at the top of your profile allow it to be see by potential customers. SWOM

Regulation D Your Savings in Jeopardy.

Regulation D Is Outdated by JOSEPH · 13 COMMENTS in MISCELLANEOUS I understand the purpose of a savings account completely: they are to be used to put money into and to keep it there.  However it would be an insane idea to think that one would not have the ability to access that money with any level of ease.  The Federal Reserve however seems to think otherwise; convenience to them is not something that we as consumers should be allowed to have when it comes to accessing our money.  Let me explain. Last month I switched to a new brokerage account and transferred money from my savings to the brokerage account several times.  I also payed off a large credit card bill with money from my savings.  I also miscalculated the amount that I could transfer to my savings from my checking without leaving myself short on cash in the checking account.  I messed up, just a little bit.  I had to transfer money back from my savings to my checking to cover some basic expenses.  Pretty simple mistake to make really… I’m sure just about everyone out there has done that at some point in their life. The point is that I made several transfers from my savings to my checking account throughout the month of May, as well as a few ACH transfers from my savings to my new brokerage account.  The problem with this is – as some of you may be aware – that the Federal Reserve board has set limitations on the number of transfers you can do OUT of your savings accounts in any given month.  The limit?  Six.  Oops… I went WAY over that.  So at the end of the month I notice a fee in my account for excessive transfers.  There goes my interest for the last five months.  Naturally I called my bank (USAA) to ask them to reverse the fee.  After I asked they offered to reverse half of it, which I gladly accepted. I decided to do some research after this fiasco to learn more about the Federal Regulation that has caused me so much grief.  It’s called Regulation D and it can be found at the Fed’s Reg D site but so as to alleviate the pain that you would encounter trying to read such legal mumbo-jumbo I will paraphrase the relevant parts of Reg D…. right after I quote directly from it.

the depositor is permitted or authorized to make no more than six transfers and withdrawals, or a combination of such transfers and withdrawals, per calendar month or statement cycle . . . to another account (including a transaction account) of the depositor at the same institution or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order, or instruction, and no more than three of the six such transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order made by the depositor and payable to third parties

That part is pretty straightforward.  You (as the depositor) are not authorized to take money out of your savings account more than six times a month (either by withdrawal or transfer) unless you do so at an ATM or at one of your banks branches. Read more

Twin Cities Lemonade Day

Hi Eric,

I was wondering if you would be willing to help us spread the word about Lemonade Day and that our online registration is now open. 

To give you a little background, Lemonade day is a free program that teaches youth how to own their own business.

 To participate, youth need to register (with an adult) to receive a backpack. Within the backpack are the materials needed to learn about business and open their Lemonade stand on Sunday June 5th. Youth can register online to participate and then they are given a list of locations they can pick up their backpack. Or they can register at one of our ongoing sites. So with that - our online registration is now open and we are trying to inform youth and their parents about it. 

Our website they can sign up at is twincities.lemonadeday.org.

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Thanks!!!
