A Small Italian Life
I normally don't do much in the way of book reviews, but I will make an exception with this one. This particular story had such a powerful and positive impact on me that I felt compelled to talk about it and persuade you to buy the book and read it for yourself. A Small Italian Life is not only an inspiring and touching biography, but a powerfully, captivating success story.
There is a lesson in this book for everyone, regardless of your age, background and family. Author, Jimmy Corso, overcame great adversity and disadvantages as a child to become a very successful teacher and role model for society. His book reminds us that true success isn't measured in terms of money or how famous we become. His book teaches us what it takes to succeed in life at any level. What he calls a "A Small Italian Life" in reality, is a bigger-than-life-lesson for all of us. Jimmy Corso's story teaches us that it's not what life gives us that counts, but what we are willing to give of ourselves in life to succeed. Reading this book, I was amazed by how a boy with seemingly so little good fortune maintained such a fierce desire and commitment to succeed. His father was an alcoholic and his mother mentally ill.

Eljer One Piece Toilet
Eljer Toilets
Are Eljer Toilets The Best?
Can we talk about toilets? There is simply not enough talk about toilets these days. What is it about toilets? We all use them; we all need them, we all rely on them, but nobody wants to talk about them. Seriously, there is a reason I am about to discuss Eljer Toilets and it has nothing to with my father owning the company. For one thing, my Dad is retired and has never had anything to do with the Eljer Toilets company. In fact, I am not sure he has ever even used Eljer toilets, let alone sold one. Secondly, if he did work for Eljer toilets, I'd probably be busy making and selling toilets instead of writing about them. Actually, my real motivation is the same as it is with all of the review articles. It begins with my own needs and personal interest in the topic. Recently, I wanted to look up some reviews on toilets and regrettably found the online web of information to be woefully lacking. I ended up at a place called, Eljer Toilets. Well, it's time I either --$$ or get off the pot, so let me explain how I got the news about Eljer Toilets.

Is the Scotts Lawn Mower still being made?
Scotts Lawn Mower Review
Scotts-Lawn-Mower
I was looking for lawn mowers online a while ago when I read some confusing and somewhat conflicting information about Scotts Lawn Mowers. I knew that the Scotts Lawn Mower at one time was made by Murray. I also knew that the Scotts Gas Powered Mowers used the popular Briggs & Stratton engine. What I didn't know was that the John Deere Tractor Company purchased Scotts and began designing the mowers themselves. This would seem like a natural fit, especially for the Ride on Lawn Mowers which share much of the looks and characteristics of tractors and have given many homeowners of large lawns some of the enjoyment of being a farmer. John Deere is one of the few American companies left known for making high quality machinery. Not having a large enough lawn to need a Ride on Lawn Mower, I thought I would look into the regular push-behind Gas Powered Scotts Lawn Mower. I got tired of replacing broken parts on the last couple of lawn mowers I owned. My previous Briggs & Stratton needed a new carburetor. So, I wanted to find something well made. I found plenty of the non-powered, push-reel lawn mowers by Scotts, but there were few, if any Gas Powered Scotts Lawn Mowers to be found! I stumbled upon a website that explained that John Deere decided to stop making the gas powered lawn mowers. So, I thought, 'hmmm..why not buy the real thing? A John Deere Lawn Mower would be an excellent quality mower, right? Not so fast, John Deere only makes a Ride on Lawn Mower! Read the rest of this entry

Home Warranty
Old Republic Home Warranty
Should I get a Home Warranty?
Are Home Warranty Plans worth the money? This is much like Extended Car Warranties. There are literally dozens of companies that sell home warranty protection plans to cover the cost of repairs and maintenance of household things that tend to break such as appliances, heaters, air conditioners, washers, dryers, garage door openers, plumbing, pipes, swimming pool equipment and more. Old Republic Home Warranty is the most often heard name in the business because they have a large network of service. Product Review Ratings attempts to break the more common ones down. You name it and you can buy a warranty for it, regardless of its age or condition, though the price and cost will vary. There are a number of companies that provide these home warranty plans and though the pricing between them all is pretty much equal, the quality of service is obviously not. When I decided to look into a home warranty protection plan, a co-worker of my recommended his own service plan with Colorado-based Blue Ribbon Home Warranty. It is always nice to have a referral from someone you know, but how would they compare to the nationwide companies like Old Republic Home Warranty or First American Home Warranty? These were the two names that kept coming up in my search results for Home Warranty plans on Google. Old Republic Home Warranty Protection has been around since 1974 and their name and extensive coverage in the United States is well documented. I quickly learned, that there are numerous other home warranty companies to compare, but a bigger question kept nagging at me:
Old Republic Home Warranty
Is Popular Better? If so, take a look at Old Republic Home Warranty
Assuming the Old Republic Home Warranty is one of the better ones on the market, would it be worth the investment and fixed monthly or yearly cost to obtain one of their Home Protection plans? How much peace of mind am I buying and how reliable is the service? A little bit of my own recent history is in order: Read the rest of this entry
