Is everyone on food stamps?
2009-11-03 22:46:00 Shocking statistics hit me today concerning 30 years of national data. The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine released an analysis food stamp recipients and it appears that 49% of all U.S. children and 90 percent of Black children will be on food stamps at some point durign childhood. Although I was taken aback initially, these stats aren't hard to grasp. A family of four, with take-home pay not exceeding $22,000 per year, is eligible to receive food stamps. There are thousands of families in this situation and we must be sympathetic to the needs of our children. Two issues: are children, whose parents receive food stamps, getting adequate nutrition? And do we have to stimulate the economy so that fewer Americans...

Used Stamps charity list is no more.
2008-11-02 14:33:00 Some years ago, I was trying to find out which charities accepted used stamps as a form of fundraising, and realised there was no central list of such places.As a result, I did much research and compiled as comprehensive a list as I could, both national and international, and put them up at used-stamps.co.uk.The site has had 30,950 hits and created many comments and enquiries to me. Many charities have received stamps to help them raise money and it's been great to be the source of such a resource.However its success has also been, I'm afraid to say, its downfall. I get so many emails telling me about new charities which collect stamps, or charities listed which no longer collect stamps, or from charities wondering how to fundraise with used stamps, or from people wanting rare stamps, that I cannot keep on top of it.The list needs constant attention, which I cannot give it.I considered leaving the page up with a note at the top saying that it was out of date and that visitors coul...

Saving time with self inking stamps
2008-06-06 23:26:00 Just after the Second World War, the first self inking stamps were made of steel and were rather heavy and bulky, at the time this was state of the art, self inking stamps became popular because when using self inking stamps you avoided the separate ink pad. You also got constant quality impression and the ink pad are easy to replace. Self inking stamps also have the advantage that you can continue stamping again and again and keep the quality on each impression.Fast forward to current time, now there is a wide range of self inking stamps available made of steel, a combination of steel and plastic or plastic only. The self inking stamps are produced using the most modern materials and are light weight heavy duty self inking stamps. We use several for stamping business checks.I get several of my forms custom printed. If you need custom printing services for address labels, checks, cheap postcards, business cards, self inking stamps, business card magnets and stamps, the folks a...

Manny Pacquiao Stamps Mania!
2008-06-02 19:10:00 Getting your face on a stamp is a great honor. You need to be famous to gain the prestige of having your mug on a stamp. Of course, if you're a member of an endangered species then you probably won't have any difficulty in seeing yourself in the mail. Anyway, enough with the corny jokes. I just found out that postage stamps featuring Pinoy boxing icon, Manny Pacquiao, went on sale a few days ago.The initial offering of four Manny Pacquiao stamps mounted on a cover and costing P7 each. This is a clear indication that Pacquiao will be known as one of the great sports heroes in Philippine sports. I think I need to find out where I can get these stamps. Someday I might be able to tell my children and grand children the story behind the stamps of a smiling guy with boxing gloves.Manny Pacquiao Training Camp UpdatesAt the moment, the Philippine boxing hero is busy preparing for his lightweight debut against WBC champ David Diaz.

Use Food Stamps at Madison's Farmers' Market
2008-05-31 18:48:00 The Capital Times reports that the "Farmers' market fare [is] now available with food stamps":"Participants in Wisconsin's food stamp program are now able to buy fresh food from the Saturday and Wednesday Dane County Farmers' Markets."The program is an effort to help low income families get more healthy, fresh, locally-raised food. In the past, food stamp recipients were restricted from using food stamps at the market because vendors work on a cash basis.. . . "In Dane County, more than 10,000 families participate in the FoodShare Wisconsin program. Though the benefit amounts vary by household size and income, the average benefit for households here is about $182 per month. The program helps families purchase breads, grains, cereals, meats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables."I think this is a great idea!

2008-05-23 08:11:00 Hewlett-Packard (HP) has been treading on the green path for quite some time.

Clear Stamps and Scrapbooking: Clearly a Winning Combination
2008-05-15 17:47:00 The unique qualities of clear acrylic stamps make them a perfect choice for scrapbooking. Stamping on scrapbook pages has always been a challenge. Placing the stamp and avoiding excess ink are a few of the concerns that keep most scrapbookers from trying stamping techniques on their page layouts, but now with the availability of clear acrylic stamps, anyone can get fantastic results from stamps on their scrapbooking pages. Clear acrylic stamps, also called polymer stamps, are different from traditional wood block or foam-backed rubber stamps. They are more economical because they are not pre-mounted. Clear stamps are naturally tacky and stick to an acrylic block. They are easily removed allowing you to reuse the block again and again. You simply purchase unmounted clear stamps from any manufacturer, and these work with any clear acrylic mount. Buy a larger mount first that can be used with both small and large stamps. These stamps are also much ea...

In A Pathetic Attempt To Get More Clicks, Yahoo! Now Hides Date/Time Stamps
2008-03-26 17:14:00 Looks like Yahoo! Finance has decided to try to get more clicks by hiding the date/time stamps of the news on each stock’s main page! How can you show a list of headlines/news/PRs without their corresponding dates and times? I mean this just sounds crazy, right? Now, if you’re not a trader, you probly don’t care, but for those of us who spend hours upon hours digging through research and seeing how news / PRs affect stock prices, this is HUGE. We don’t want to waste time clicking on meaningless news just to see what day/time it came out! For example, take a classic microcrapper momo play like SEED who on Monday morning updated investors about their new seeds. With Yahoo!’s new rules in place, you must click the stupid PR to see that it came out pre-market at 8:30am. It was good news so the stock rose a few cents, but it wasn’t anything huge. But on Tuesday, it was a whole new story—agriculture stocks were jamming and SEED rose nearly $2. If you go to SEED’s...
