The Department of Homeland Security, the Money Pit

The House distinguished itself in a not so good way just recently when it managed to pass several counterproductive immigration reform amendments. The problem most of the members of the House have with the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) and their enforcement issues is why vote against those measures now when they may vote for comprehensive immigration reform later, which would include similar enforcement issues. That being said, someone should likely have kept a tab on […]

Currently, many favor boycotting the census to send a message that immigration reform is badly needed; something that almost goes without saying these days. On the other side of the […]

Deceptive Trade Practices in Texas

They may also have the specter of child support and maintenance dogging their footsteps. This is the point where many cave in and seek reductions in child support payments. The rising […]

CPR Technicians Say Yes to Nanos and Pinkies

CPR’s expertly trained service technicians can fix the Nano or “repair the Pinkie” no matter how tough the troubleshooting gets. It wasn’t long ago when the first iPod Nano knockoffs were brought naked into our unsuspecting repair shops, one after the other. They came from China, maybe Taiwan, maybe the mainland.

Room to Move in the Garage with Proper Storage

The only way to have a proper storage facility in the garage is to have it custom built. This doesn’t mean that it’s out of reach financially. A man likes his work space to be, at the very least, easily accessible and have some sense of order to it. If that isn’t the case, they never seem to be able to find anything in the mountain of garden tools, sports gear, and tools and supplies. […]
