Many parents search for unique birthday party ideas for their child’s birthday.  One of the most unique birthday party ideas is to hire a magician for children.  Todd McKinney is one of the top magicians in Texas. 

As a professional entertainer, Todd McKinney as “Magic Man” often finds that so many parents when planning a birthday party for their child are looking for something different. 

Todd and his family live in Waco, TX but he is one of the top magician Dallas magicians in Texas.  

Todd does travel to Austin and other areas to do shows as well. 

The “Happy Birthday Magic Show” will make your child wish that everyday was their birthday, really. 

The entire birthday magic show is filled with lots of audience participation and a guaranteed good time for your child and all of their guests.

The show is centered around your child and they are made to be the star of the show (which means they get all of the attention).

The magic word for the party will be their own name and every time their name is mentioned, something “magical” will happen. 

They are also given a chance to perform a magic trick in the show (if they want).

This is something they learn before the show even starts and they won’t even know how they did it.

Having multiple streams of income is very attractive to many people because it provides you with a level of security that you just don’t have with a single stream of income.  Many people think that real estate investing is one of the very best ways to build long term residual income and I have to agree.

Let’s say it took you an entire year to find and put together your first deal (we have students in our residential mentoring program who are averaging one a month, but let’s be conservative.)

After a year of part-time effort, maybe 5-10 hours a week, you have your first deal set up. And each month you are earning a stream of income from the property, plus you collected a big chunk up-front as the option payment, and you are waiting to collect a huge chunk of money down the line when your tenant-buyer gets new financing for the property and purchases.

If you are just getting started with the idea of making money from buying or selling real estate you need to first get your real estate license so you will be certified.  The fastest way to get your real estate license is from an online real estate school.

Once you get licensed you can start looking for the best deals.  Then the next year you go out and look for more deals. By now you are much better at it and you find two deals. Again, once you set up each deal, it’s a hands-off investment pumping residual streams of monthly cash-flow into your bank account. In year three you find four properties in your spare time and set them up. You keep doing more and more deals as your expertise increases.

The only limit is your own ambition…

By setting up each property as an independent money-making machine for yourself, you are creating multiple streams of income buying homes in nice areas with nothing down.

The concrete block making business is not the most glamorous business you could start but it does have some benefits that are worth considering if you are an entrepreneur.  One of the first investements you need to make is the purchase of some quality concrete block machines that will actually manufacture the concrete blocks.

There are used block machines that you can find by doing some looking online or you can contact one of the leading manufactures and shell out some big bucks.  One important thing to consider when buying concrete equipment is how long the equipment will actually last.

If you are making 100 concrete blocks each hour, every single day you could wear out an older used machine pretty quick so just keep that in mind when shopping for equipment.

There are “secrets” that you need to know to make sure you are making wise decesions.  You need to know what type of machines are right for your business and how to avoid spending too much on the wrong equipment.

Don’t make a costly mistake by buying the wrong equipment.  If you are not sure what machines to buy or just need some expert advice I would recommend you contact Bill Fleming 913-766-1025 over at Global Machine Market and he can help you make the best decisions.

The concrete business can be very financially rewarding so make sure and do your homework before you jump in and get started.

Microsoft Corp. has pounced on slumping Internet icon Yahoo Inc. with an unsolicited takeover offer of $44.6 billion in its boldest bid yet to challenge Google Inc.’s dominance of the lucrative online search and advertising markets.

The surprise offer of $31 per share, made late Thursday and announced Friday, seizes on Yahoo’s weakness while Microsoft tries to muscle up in a high-stakes battle with Google likely to define the technology landscape for years to come.

In a statement Friday, Yahoo said it will “carefully and promptly” study Microsoft’s bid.

The Justice Department also said it would be interested in reviewing the antitrust implications of the offer, and analysts expect other enforcement agencies to follow suit.

With its profits steadily sliding, Yahoo’s stock slipped to a four-year low this week, and a new management team has been trying to steer a turnaround but sees more turbulence through 2008.

The announcement lifted Yahoo’s share price by almost 50 percent in morning trading, while Google fell almost 8 percent, dragged down by a fourth-quarter earnings report that missed Wall Street expectations.

In conference call Friday morning, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer indicated he won’t take no for an answer after Yahoo rebuffed takeover overtures a year ago.

“This is a decision we have — and I have — thought long and hard about,” Ballmer said. “We are confident it’s the right path for Microsoft and Yahoo.”

To underscore its resolve, Microsoft is offering a 62 percent premium to Yahoo’s closing stock price Thursday. If the deal is consummated, it would be by far the largest acquisition in Microsoft’s history, eclipsing last year’s $6 billion purchase of online ad service aQuantive.

Microsoft publicly disclosed its cash-and-stock offer in hopes of rallying support from Yahoo’s shareholders, making it more difficult for Yahoo’s board to turn down the bid.

In a letter released Friday, Ballmer pointedly noted Yahoo’s financial performance has deteriorated since Microsoft was spurned a year ago. At that time, Ballmer said he was told Yahoo believed it was better off on its own.

“A year has gone by, and the competitive situation has not improved,” Ballmer wrote in his letter.

Microsoft’s previous offer was rebuffed by Terry Semel, who stepped aside last year as chief executive under shareholder pressure.

Microsoft sent its latest takeover offer to Yahoo late Thursday, shortly after Semel resigned as the company’s chairman. The letter is addressed to Semel’s successors, new Chairman Roy Bostock and the current CEO, co-founder Jerry Yang, who is one of Yahoo’s largest shareholders.

In a prepared statement, Yahoo said its board “will evaluate this proposal carefully and promptly in the context of Yahoo’s strategic plans and pursue the best course of action to maximize long-term value for shareholders.”

Microsoft views Yahoo as its best chance to thwart Google, which has leveraged its leadership in Internet search and advertising to emerge as an increasingly serious threat to the world’s largest software maker’s persuasive influence on how people interact with computers.

Google already controls nearly 60 percent of the U.S. search market, and has been widening its lead, despite concerted efforts by both second-place Yahoo and third-place Microsoft. By combining, Microsoft and Yahoo would have a 33 percent share of the U.S. search market, according to the latest data from comScore Media Metrix.

Nevertheless, the potential acquisition of Yahoo would raise questions on competitiveness about everything from search engines to online advertising, analysts said. A federal judge this week extended by 18 months court oversight of Microsoft’s market power, which began in 2002 after a landmark antitrust settlement.

“If this deal goes through, there will be a lot of very close scrutiny … there appears to be lots of overlap,” said Harry First, a professor at New York University’s School of Law. “It’s complicated and very big, and a lot of enforcement agencies will be interested.”

By joining forces, Microsoft and Yahoo also would widen their narrowing advantage over Google in providing free e-mail accounts — a service that helps foster more loyalty with users and create more advertising opportunities.

Advertisers around the world are expected to double their spending on the Internet during the next three years as more people get their news and entertainment on the Web instead of television, radio, newspapers and magazine. The trend is expected to create an $80 billion online ad market in 2010, up from an estimated $40 billion last year.

Despite an aggressive push in recent years, Microsoft’s online advertising expansion hasn’t paid off. Last week, the Redmond, Wash.-based company reported a 79 percent jump in its overall profit, but its online division’s loss widened to $245 million.

And Yahoo has been struggling to attract more advertising even though its Web site attracts one of the biggest audiences. The Sunnyvale-based company’s profit has declined for five consecutive quarters, prompting plans to cut 1,000 jobs later this month, a 7 percent reduction of its 14,300-employee work force.

Besides helping to boost its online ad revenue, Microsoft believes it could mine more profit from Yahoo by jettisoning workers and eliminating overlapping operations.

Microsoft said it sees at least $1 billion in cost savings if it buys Yahoo. Microsoft executives deflected questions about how many jobs might be lost, but the company emphasized retention packages will be offered to Yahoo engineers and other key employees, including some executives.

The fate of Yahoo’s brand also is unclear if Microsoft takes over. Both Ballmer and Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft’s platforms and services division, hailed Yahoo’s strong brand value but didn’t commit to keeping the name alive.

For a very low financial investment it is possible to manufacture concrete blocks in your own garage using hand made molds but as your business grows you will need to expand and have the capacity to build hundreds of cement blocks a day.

Commerical grade concrete block machines are the best choice because they can safe you a lot of time and money plus a lot of headaches.  You can purchase used concrete block equipment and save some money but you need to find a reliable source or you could be throwing your money away by purchasing outdated equipment. 

Once you have the money to purchase a quality commercial grade block machine it would be a good idea to contact Bill Fleming a 3rd generation equipment builder in the concrete industry.  Bill can be reached by calling (314)960-0540 or you can visit his Website at http://www.globalmachinemarket.com where you can download his free booklet with tips to growing your concrete business.
