Doug Stephens, financial coach in Dallas, Texas helps clients with financial survival plans. He urges: "Work on all your financial problems at the same time!" Nearly every day new clients come to me that are virtually destitute. That's right, they are flat broke, in debt, and many times have a negative net worth. Surprisingly, most of these people have good jobs with steady incomes. In addition, they tend to be reliable people that are raising families and want to pay their bills. So what went wrong? The answer. most times, is that they battled financial problems on a piecemeal basis. Borrowing from 401K's to pay down credit cards or moving balances to lower rate cards are prime examples. These people are, in essence, borrowing to pay  [more info...]

Plano Wrongful Death Lawyer Richard Armstrong knows that the last thing grieving survivors of wrongful death need is confusion. What Is Wrongful Death Recovery? Wrongful death is a statutory means of recovery for the benefit of those who survive the death of a loved one. It is not a creature of common law (case law), but rather of the Texas legislature, who created it to allow a surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased to recover for tort liability. Negligence by the defendant often furnishes the basis for liability, but wrongful death may also be based on products liability, "strict" liability, or misconduct by the defendant. Chapter 71 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, codifying law now almost 150 years old, pro  [more info...]

Carrollton Pest Control Service advice for Cicada Killer Wasp control  July 27, 2009
Carrollton Pest Control Service owner Blake Williams of Service 1st Pest and Lawn offers advice on "Do It Yourself Cicada Killer Wasp" control. Home owner's often become alarmed this time of year with the emergence of the Cicada Killer Wasp. Their appearance is ominous, but they rarely sting. The females can sting but rarely sting people unless it is an accident. The males are more aggressive in protecting the nest but do not have stingers. They will fly towards people trying to scare them away from the nest but usually shy away at the last minute. If left untreated they can become numerous in one area even though they are a solitary wasp not a social wasp. I have seen dozens nesting in one flower bed at times. When  [more info...]

Frisco Fence Repair Companyowner Sean Eubanks, President of Texas State Fence Company, talks about the fencing industry. We live in a part of the United States that is blessed with fair weather most of the year. True it gets a little hot during July and August but that is balanced most years by winters that are mild enough to get outside and enjoy your yard, and golfing and other out door activities, most of the winter. Our Spring season can be a little windy and we do get the occasionally wind storm. Hail storms are also not uncommon, but, we are fortunate not to have too many tornado's in the North Texas area. That is a threat that our neighbors to the north suffer more than we do. The extremes of heat and cold do have a very neg  [more info...]

Workers Still Value Saving for Retirement and investing for the future.
