Happy 4th of July. A great day to celebrate by all of us Americans for our independence day of our beautiful nation.

It is in spirit of America to be independent. Americans love being independent, not only from other nations but also from many other things in life that slows us down or hold us back. And post this long economic recession, we have learned to also try to be financially independent.

Independent from credit card debts and unnecessary debts, and take charge of our financial future. According to the graph below America has cut back on unnecessary spending and now learning how to be financially secured and independent.

Below is a graph that shows how public has been effected by the recession and how it is handling it. It is self explanatory. America wants a financial 4th of July. An independents from wall street’s credit card companies, banks, and lenders, who have for long make America work too hard just to pay off their debt.

Well done America, keep it going. We don’t need big government to regulate us, we can do ourselves. All the so called financial reform bills are just to keep the old wall street in business, while blaming the smaller lenders like payday lenders, who were there to help American with cash flow lending them money they needed while the banks were taking their homes away.

Happy Independence Day

Ok not taking about payday loans this time. I am a big time soccer fan and today I was able to watch the first half of the game before getting to work. Then during half time jumped in shower, and got ready and came to work. While driving to work I was listening to the game on 710 ESPN radio Los Angles.

After seeing another good goal of US being disallowed, I was to be honest with you, not so optimistic if we could advance to the next round. We needed to win and the game was near finished. Game was at 0-0 despite many US deadly attacks.

I pulled to my jobs parking lot around 89th minutes of the game when I thought the game was done. The ESPN soccer reporter, with his English accent, said that there was 4 minutes of added injury time. So I decided to stay in my car and listen to the game till in finished but still pessimistic that US was not going to score a goal.
Then I heard there was a chance for US in final minutes, US sticker Donovan had the ball…he scores!!!!

I was so happy I jumped in my car and hit my head to the ceiling of my car. It was painful but my joy had overcome the pain.
US national team had pulled it through. Good job team US.

Another soccer FIFA World Cup has arrived and this time is being hosted for the first time, in an African nation, South Africa.
African countries have never hosted the world cup before yet they have produced many great soccer players who often end up playing for the European and other intentional soccer teams or as also referred to as football clubs.

USA has probably the strongest team it has ever had and it is in rather an easy group, along with world power house England, Algeria, and Slovenia. But easy is term relatively mentioned and because the other teams were among the best in their content which is why they qualified for the world cup. Also England is considered one of the favorites and it is ranked top 5 so Sam’s Army (another name for US national soccer team) will have its work ahead.
Favorites for this world cup are Argentina, Brazil, England, and Spain ordered alphabetically although African nations will have home advantage and due to nature of soccer being a low scoring game, any underdog can beat any of the favorites and win it all.

So make sure you don’t miss out on the world cup which happens only every 4 years, and cheer for your team. And if you can’t watch the games live, there are a plenty of websites you can follow the news on but FIFA world cup is the best source of soccer news. Go Sam’s Army, Team US!

Anthuriums are strong, fleshy, low-maintenance plants with attractive shiny foliage and bright flowers that can produce long-lasting flowers in the right conditions.  Anthuriums comes in an estimated 1000 species and are most commercial potted in Florida and the Netherlands.

Anthuriums make excellent indoor plants as they excel in medium to bright indirect light and in room temperature surroundings.   Although they can survive well in lower lightings, this may cause a slowing down or ceasing of flower production.  They also like moist soil but not excessive wetness.

The flowers on Anthuriums are fleshy and come in a variety of colors, including bright red, green, peach,  or white.  The flowers are also hermaphrodites, meaning there are both male and female flowers.

Baby Anthurium plants need the same kind of attention as their adult counterparts and are quite cute.
