This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Republic Wireless for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Did you know that the average American pays more on their smart phone bill monthly then on health insurance?  That is absolutely astounding to me and also not surprising.  With data like that how is one supposed to save money with a smart phone?

Why not make smart phones, well smarter.  Check out Republic Wireless .  Republic Wireless works in a similar way as a regular cell phone plan, but with one important different.  This plan is a Hybrid Wi-Fi plan, which means calls, texts, and data are performed over a Wi-Fi connection, instead of on a cellular signal.  For more information check out the video below:

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

There is a substance known to man that has proven one of the most important substances to handy-men and women, crafters, gardeners, mechanics and even children.  This substance is Duck Tape(R).

This wondrous tape will hold things together tightly, is weather poof and is now available at Walmart in time for back to school.  You may be asking what does Duck Tape(R) have to do with back to school?  Well the answer to that is quite simple.  Lets say your little ones want something truly unique and special that only they have.  Why not make them something?  Maybe a pencil case with a nifty design and color unique to them?

Take a look at the Duck Tape(R)  school supply case. 

This pencil case is perfect for cleaning up that cluttered backpack or desk and starting the school year off right.

The directions below are from the Duck Tape(R) Ducktivities projects.

Approximate Crafting Time

1 Hour & 0 Minute

Supplies and Tools

Duck Tape(R)

1 qt. sandwich bag with zip closure

Scissors

Craft knife

Pen

Ruler

Crafting board

Directions

Step 1

Cut the zipper part off your sandwich bag. Leave about 1/2 inch of bag attached to the zipper part. Do not throw away the rest of the bag. 

Step 2

Make 2 pieces of Duck Tape(R) fabric that measure as wide as your bag and 4 in. tall. 

Step 3

Using a strip of Duck Tape(R), adhere the piece of Duck Tape(R) fabric you made in step 2 to the zipper from step 1. Repeat for the other side with your second piece of Duck Tape® fabric.   

Step 4

Fold a single piece of Duck Tape(R) over each of the open edges of the supply case to close them up. Trim any excess tape. 

Step 5

For the I.D. holder cut a rectangle out of the remaining plastic bag that measures 2.5 in. tall by 4 in. wide. 

Step 6

Cut a piece of  Duck Tape(R) that measures 1 in. tall and 4 in. wide and fold it over the top of the plastic rectangle from step 5. Use 3 more pieces on the sides and bottom to attach it to your case, keeping the top open.

Step 7

If desired, adhere 3 more strips of a different color Duck Tape®, leaving a little of the previous color Duck Tape(R) showing. Trim any excess. 

 

Step 8

Create a tab to add to your supply case by cutting off a 5 in. long piece of Duck Tape®and folding it over on to itself lengthwise. 

Step 9

Cut a 1 in. slit in the side of your supply case with a craft knife and insert the tab. Use a small piece of tape on the inside to hold the tab in place.

The beauty if Duck Tape(R) is its versatility and many uses.  As well as its portability and fun designs.  Make sure to remember you can now buy Duck Tape at Walmart as well as many other fine establishments.

Also make sure you follow @TheDuckBrand on Twitter for other fun Ducktivities.

ADA compliance is important. No matter what kind of facility you run, you need to be ADA compliant if at all possible. ADA compliance can mean a lot of different things. It can mean providing appropriate ramps for wheelchair accessibility, or automatic doors for your building. In all cases, ADA compliance hinges on what can be reasonably expected of you as a business owner to provide. For instance, some historical locations are simply not feasible from a perspective of ADA compliance; there’s no way to install accessibility equipment into them, so they are exempt.

One of the most difficult things to make accessible, however, is a swimming pool. Often as not, it isn’t required that you make a pool ADA compliant because there simply are not reasonable steps to take to make a pool accessible. This was the case until very recently. However, those that wish to make their pools handicap-accessible can now do so much more easily. You can find pool lifts at CommercialPool.com and similar sites that provide a good example of what has become available. As technology and distribution techniques have improved, pool lifts have become much more viable to business owners, and there is little reason now not to install them.
