Unfortunately, Disney has managed to brainwashed girls at really young age to view men as objects with so many unrealistic qualifications. Too bad, not all of us are “gifted” as these guys are!

According to ESPN, Texas Stadium was blown up Sunday morning, and Kraft Foods paid $75,000 to sponsor the event in order to introduce its “Cheddar Explosion” macaroni and cheese. Odd as all this seems, we must admit we are intrigued by the image of the grand old structure being covered in macaroni and cheese. We don’t think that’s what they mean, though.

An 11-year-old boy won a Kraft essay contest and the right to trigger the dynamite implosion. Presumably, his essay was not titled “Why I Love To Blow Up Things.”

According to The Dallar Morning News, The demolition plan cost just under $6 million. To be prepared for the implosion, the stadium was stripped down to concrete and steel and the lower bowl filled with dirt. It imploded in a domino fashion starting in the southwest end zone, falling simultaneously along both sidelines to finish in the northeast end zone. The roof with its famous hole fell in over the stadium’s footprint.

The Cowboys won all five of their Super Bowl titles while playing in Texas Stadium. They moved to the new $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington last year.

Founded by San Clemente entrepreneur, Sue Pierce, the main goal of her small business is “to create a one-stop shopping experience for busy women who wanted something special but had no time to shop”.

The online store has a broad inventory of party boxes for kid parties, bridal or baby showers, seasonal events, even a build-your-own party box. Prices range from $116 to $256 plus shipping and tax.

Several party-in-a-box sites are online, but Posh Party Boxes have won numerous awards including two from iParenting (a Disney property) and two from Creative Child magazine.

Thinking Caps had generated more than $500,000 revenues in 2009 and employs about thirty temps and part-time support staff. In the article posted in NYTimes, the main challenge of the company is to expand without sacrificing the quality of their services.

The careful matching of students with tutors, who are paid by the hour, is also central to her approach, she says. She meets with each family and tries to assign the most suitable tutor, considering a range of factors, such as whether the student and tutor have had similar experiences and interests.

Thinking Caps charges $110 an hour for one-on-one tutoring, which is less than test-prep giants like Kaplan and Princeton Review (their hourly rates recently ranged from $125 to $350). While the national learning centers Sylvan Learning and Huntington Learning Center can provide one-on-one tutoring — one New York branch of Sylvan recently quoted hourly rates of $68 to $85 — their models emphasize working with students at Sylvan offices, with student-to-tutor ratios of three to one.

Business Idea: Be the next generation Avon lady by selling Avon’s sister company called Mark which is focused exclusively on teenagers and women under 30. Mark Girls roam around dormitories and sorority houses promoting beauty products and fashion accessories for a commission ranging from 20% to 50%

What makes this different from Avon is that Mark Girls can promote these items via social media sites such as Facebook, iPhone apps, twitter, MySpace etc. As of this writing, there are more than 40,000 Mark representatives in North America and most of them are 18 to 24 year old women.

Startup cost: $20

Cost

Last year they raised $30,000 from friends and family and registered their website, which includes their trademarked Symptom Checker tool (they also built an iPhone app for it) that helps users diagnose what is wrong with their dog or cat, before calling a vet or booking an appointment. PetsMD is free for pet owners, but charges vets an annual listing fee, ranging from $59.95 to $249, much like an apartment rental site would charge a landlord. So far 30,000 vets have listed their clinics or services on the site

Business Opportunities

Americans will spend more than $12 billion this year on veterinary care – an increase of about $1 billion from the 2008 total – according to the 2009-10 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA).

Marketing Strategies

In addition, Cannon said PetsMD will be looking to partner with some major pet brands and is already in talks with a few companies. Cannon said right now they only handle bookings for people with dogs and cats, but will be expanding their portfolio to include exotics at some point. But Cannon said their main challenge is building awareness for the site and the unique content and services it contains for pet owners.

Why buy expensive textbooks from college bookstores if you can rent it online? That’s exactly the promise of the startup site BookRenter.com. Users can save up to 75% by renting books. BookRenter offers over one million textbook titles and services more than 5,000 campuses.

This will definitely reinvent the traditional bookstore by providing a convenient, cost effective alternative to retail book sales.

Small business opportunities: Why not use rental model for other industries such as home improvement, sports, arts & crafts?

Basically it’s a goverment initiave approved in for homeowners who’s living in their current home five out of the past eight years with adjusted household annual income of $125,000 or lower.

The tax credit can be used in so many ways. Some homeowners who need to downsize may prove to be significant users of this incentive as well as people who are relocating due to employment changes. Here are some of its features:

1. The cost of the house you want to buy must not cost exceed $800,000.
2. Allows a broad range of housing type such newly constructed or existing single-family homes, condominiums, manufactured or mobile homes, and even boats that function as your main residence.
3. Cannot be claimed if you’re getting an investment property or a second home.

According to some experts, this tax credit will extend both an economic benefit and the market-relief-psychology to the move-up crowd. There’s a deadline though for this $6,500 tax credit for home buyers – a binding contract by April 30, 2010 and a settlement by June 30, 2010.
