I have to admit that at this time, I'm a little sick of my cable bill.  Every few months, the bill seems to creep upward just a little, thanks to some new price increase or fee.  Although, I love the convenience of cable, I am beginning to feel  that I am being taken advantage of, financially, which is why I've recently considered moving to DISH Network and one of their many channel packages.

Why consider DISH Network Packages?  Well, first and foremost, they offer twice as many packages as other television providers, with FIVE packages under $50 per month!

Returning to school after summer break or starting school for the first time can be very stressful for children. Renaye Thornborrow, author of Adventures in Wisdom™, a breakthrough life-coaching program for empowering kids, recommends three steps that parents can take to help smooth the transition if their children are uneasy about the upcoming school year.

Step 1: Discuss and Manage Concerns 

Give kids the opportunity to voice their fears about going back to school.  Once they’ve shared their concerns, work with them to brainstorm solutions. For example, if a child is worried about how they will perform in math class, create a plan to review concepts before school starts or hire a tutor if extra help is needed. If a child is nervous about making friends at a new school, invite some kids over for a play-date who already attend the new school. Knowing that their concerns can be alleviated will empower kids to face change with more confidence.

In the wake of Borders recent announcement it's folding up shop, those holding gift cards from the bookstore chain may have cause for concern. While the second-largest bookseller says it's presently honoring gift cards, shoppers are well advised to use up their balances before it's too late. We faced a similar situation when Blockbuster and Circuit City filed for bankruptcy and are likely to do so again. To ensure consumers don't get left in the lurch, here are a five lessons we've learned from these experiences.

1. Move Fast
Store liquidations usually begin rapidly -- this Friday for Borders -- so it's often best to use up gift cards online, rather than wait until you have time to visit a retail store. Borders liquidation website says all 399 remaining stores will close by September, but they may start writing the final chapter on your local store much earlier.
