Cash For Clunkers Breaks Down

Well, we hope you got in while the gettin' was good, cause it looks like Cash For Clunkers might be suspended. Turns out that whole $4,500 for your old beat-up car was such a great deal that too many people ran out to take advantage of it and in turn the government is hoping to find ways to keep from having to put the old kibosh on the whole idea. Originally the idea was to allocate $4 billion towards the program to help us get out of the driver's seat of our gas guzzlers but the Senate knocked that amount down to $1 billion. And now we're approaching that $1 billion faster than anyone in government had thought would happen. Seeing this, the House is seeking $2 billion to add to the pot to help you get rid of your old car. This report however states that the program will be suspended at midnight tonight while the government tries to find the funds to keep this massively-popular program running. In other words, you better trade your car in at lunch today or skip Wheel of Fortune tonight to get your $4,500 rebate. Despite the popularity of our Cram Session, we at Starving Students won't be suspending the program any time soon. Sure the $20 discount off of qualified moves can hurt our pocketbooks, but it helps you save on your move. We like to give you the best move you've ever had and save you money while doing so, so please take advantage of this special.

Dawn Wells Sells Some Stuff And Gives Away Autographs

Dawn Wells, one of the all-time television greats will be holding an auction this Saturday, August 1st. The actress who portrayed Mary Ann on the short-lived but long-remembered classic Gilligan's Island, will be holding the auction (which this article says sounds more like a garage sale) at her house in Idaho, though the actress has been living near Palm Springs, CA. The actress will also be signing autographs to anyone buying anything at her "auction," which almost makes the trip up to Idaho worth it. Check out the items the former Mary Ann will be selling off:

• A Kenmore double-door refrigerator
• An Antique Chinese frug
• A picture fram cutter
• Spud Fest Family Film Festival Memorabilia

Don't anyone get any ideas about buying that picture frame cutter. I already called dibs. What you can get is a great deal on your move with Starving Students. Check out our Cram Session and see how you can save $20 on your next move with Starving Students. Just give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) to book your next move with us. And while you're at it, check out the clip below for some exclusive Mary Ann content and see if our movers will sing the theme song from Gilligan's Island along with you while you move -- and don't act like you don't know the lyrics. "Just, sit right back and you'll hear a tale ... " Check out the actual song here.

Rush Limbaugh Credits Confusing Diet With Weight Loss, Not Cram Session

It's not that Rush Limbaugh doesn't want to talk, it's just that he can't ... can't tell you what he's eating. That's the gist of his latest comments when talking on his talk show about the 58 pounds he's lost thanks to a unique diet at Quick Weight Loss Center. Limbaugh, whose comments have often gotten him in trouble with all sorts of media types, said the diet contains all sorts of special rules, making it too complicated to explain on the air, creating even more mystery over the diet. Rush explained, "I'm getting so many e-mails -- because people see my weight loss on the Dittocam -- and I'm getting so many e-mails, "Why can't you tell us what you want -" Folks, it's not that I won't tell you, it's just I can't. It's too complicated. I mean putting the menu together is a jigsaw puzzle every day. It would take me 45 minutes every day to tell you what the diet plan is and answer all your questions about why it works." Yup, that's pretty confusing. What's not confusing is what we at Starving Students like to call our Cram Session. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure it out -- you can save $20 on your move by checking out the details on our site. Then, you pick up the phone and dial (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or send us an e-mail here This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to save on your move. That's it. No jigsaw puzzle-like confusion to it. Just taking those simple steps will help you get started on the best move you've ever had with Starving Students.

L.A. Sports Stars Among The Most_Hated, Says Poll

Quick, name your five least-favorite sports stars. How many of them were based in Los Angeles? Two of them if you reflect a recent E-Poll survey that will soon be showing up in Forbes magazine that names Manny Ramirez as second on the least-favorite list, three spots ahead of the reigning Finals MVP Kobe Bean Bryant. Not surprisingly, Michael Vick was named number one on the list following his release from prison for funding a dog fighting club and taking part in actually killing several pit bulls, but Manny second? How can you hate him when he's just Manny being Manny? Anyway, the top ten are below along with the percentage of those surveyed who admitted they didn't like the sports star:

1. Michael Vick: 72%
2. Manny Ramirez: 57%
3. Alex Rodriguez: 53%
4. Terrell Owens: 45%
5. Kobe Bryant: 42%
6. Allen Iverson: 38%
7. Isiah Thomas: 36%
8. Stephon Marbury: 36%
9. Nick Saban: 35%
10. John McEnroe: 31%

So wait, Manny's more despised than Terrell Owens? The guy who pulled out the Sharpie and signed the football after scoring a touchdown? Seriously? Actually, I have to admit that I liked that little stunt. And A-Rod's up on this list? Personally, I'd have every single Boston Red Sox player ranked on this list ahead of A-Rod, but that's just me. And put the Sox way ahead of Kobe, too. I mean, Kobe almost carried team USA to a gold medal by himself last year, along with those other guys that made up the team. Maybe not, but admit it, Kobe was the best player on the team. But one notable exclusion from this list is Starving Students. That might be because we're not a sports star, but I'd actually like to think that it's because everyone loves to save money on their move while also getting the best move they've ever had.

Get A Bigger Office When You Work From Home With The Kids

Not having a job can be horrible. In fact, it's often brutal. You're looking for a job while at the same time watching your savings slowly diminish. It's even worse when you want to be home for whatever reason and the same savings account starts to diminish. Imagine having a child you want to stay home and care for and not having an income to give you that option. Frankly, that'd be a really frustrating situation. Thanks to the World Wide Web though, there are plenty of options for people looking stay at home while still pulling in an income. There just happens to be a Web Site devoted to helping parents stay Home with the Kids for parents or family to get a job that allows them to work from home. One of the more popular job choices from this site is that of virtual assistant. Sounds cool, and it just may be. Apparently it's a title that means you could be doing a wide array of jobs from home for a company that makes you available to an array of companies. The job also pays well -- ranging from $15/hour up to $100/hour. Either way, it's a way to earn an income while also having the time to stay at home with the kids. In fact, you could also make some extra cash taking advantage of our Refer A Friend program, which puts $20 in your pocket for each person your refer that turns into a completed move.

Cheesecake Factory Celebrates Cheesecake Day With 50% Off Slices

So the wife and I were standing in a buffet line the other day when arguably the most important topic of the day came up -- what kind of dessert to get. We walked back and forth in front of all of the pastries lined up for our choosing in a silent trance, mesmerized by all of the varities that were offered, silently and mentally imagining what each one would taste like and how that chemical reaction would compare to the food we'd eaten previously. It's an important decision after all ... the wrong dessert can almost spoil a meal. One of my favorite fallback desserts has always been cheesecake though, for its rich and creamy flavor and one of my favorite places to go for cheesecake is of course, Cheesecake Factory. And I might be headed there tonight after reading this. Cheesecake Factory is offering a 50% discount off of cheesecake slices today only as part of Cheesecake Day. With 30 different varities of cheesecake to choose from including a brand new "Stefani's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake" that's debuting today, the deal is sure to spark some business. In addition, the restaurant will be donating 25 cents to Feeding the Hungry for each slice of the new cheesecake that's sold over the next 12 months. Because saving money on cheesecake or any other item is important, Starving Students would like to remind you that you can save up to $20 on your next move with our Cram Session.

Move To A Sunnier Location To Avoid Using Cancer-Causing Tanning Beds

One of the great things about living in sunny Southern California is the weather. I mean, one day you could be driving out to the mountains for a nice hike and then the next you could be heading to the beach to get a tan and maybe take a dip. And if you're in the Los Angeles area like we are, the weather pretty much permits you to do this year-round. Lately it's been extra hot out here with temperatures approaching 100 degrees almost every day, but usually it's perfect weather for whatever you want to do. Another great thing about that is that most of us don't have to use tanning beds to get that tan so many crave. The reason that last tidbit about the tanning beds is because a study has shown that the use of these devices can lead to cancer. In fact, the study shows that the link between a tanning bed and skin cancer is as close as the link between tobacco and lung cancer. The study showed that a person who uses a tanning bed before the age of 30 runs a 75% greater risk of eventually getting melanoma than someone who doesn't use one. The Indoor Tanning Association (don't lie, you know you're a member) fought back showing that the report could also be construed to show that "A glass of merlot is as deadly as mustard gas." I don't think that's true, but I also didn't think there was an Indoor Tanning Association, either. If you'd like to get away from all the controversy and move somewhere where we don't need tanning beds or if you're the opposite and want to put that whole tanning bed cancer thing to the test, give us a call. Starving Students would be happy to schedule your move anywhere you'd like to go.

Heidi Pratt To Provide Class To Ms. Universe Pageant

If all of the beautiful women weren't reason enough to watch the show, maybe this'll do it for you. Heidi Pratt will soon be gracing the Ms. Universe stage, but not as a contestant. Instead, the female half of "Speidi" will be performing on stage, blessing everyone with her singing voice by belting out "Turn Ya Head" from her upcoming debut album. The 22 year-old Pratt (former Heidi Montag) is hoping to turn public tide in her favor after her debut single "Higher" was slammed by critics, resulting in Heidi saying she cried herself to sleep after reading reviews. Her new album, Unleashed, will be released September 23rd. I'm not privvy to most of our movers' taste, but there's gotta be a couple out there that enjoy Heidi Pratt's music. See if you can get the Starving Students movers that come out to your pad to play Heidi's music when they perform your move for you.

Madonna's Biceps Are Veiny

Our movers are strong. I once saw one of them pick up a refrigerator with one hand and pack a moving box with delicate China with the other. OK, maybe that might not have happened, but you know who could pull something like that off? Madonna. Yup. Have you seen her biceps recently? They're ripped and remind me of some bodybuilders that used to walk around my gym -- but bigger. I'm not quite sure how she's pulled something like this off. Maybe it has something to do with her faith, which has her convinced she's the same age as Starving Students even though she's actually approaching 51. I'm pretty sure I could get the Material Girl a job working here as a mover should that music thing ever fall apart. With 35 locations spread across nine states, I haven't had a chance to meet all of the Starving Students movers, but I'd imagine most of them would be jealous of Madonna's biceps. Ask one of them the next time you hire us to handle your move and make sure to mention our Cram Session to save on the best move you've ever had.

Shaq Versus Show Steals Monday Night RAW

Growing up, Shaquille O'Neal was one of my favorite basketball players. In fact, he probably was my favorite player. When Orlando made him the number one overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft (one of the greatest draft classes of all time), I instantly became a Magic fan. The big man out of LSU quickly became one of the league's biggest attractions with his show-stopping game, which featured very little outside of dunks, and charm and wit off the court. So paired with my love of wrestling, there was little else I wanted to do last night than watch Shaq take on Monday Night RAW in Washington, D.C. Shaq's wit was apparent from the opening sequence and he verbally sparred with Chris Jericho, one of wrestling's best heels (bad guys), who brought out his tag team partner -- The Big Show. Big Show is, well, big. He's listed at 7'1" tall and in the neighborhood of 440 pounds or so. And standing up next to Shaq, he definitely appeared to be that big -- though probably not quite that tall. The main event of the evening featured Shaq and Show squaring off, with the Cleveland Cavaliers center getting the best of it at the end, leaving fans happy with the celebrity host's participation in the night's activities. What many fans hopefully didn't miss out on was the Starving Students Cram Session, which they could take advantage of while in Washington, D.C. or in any of our 35 locations across the nation. With movers who move much faster than either The Big Show or Shaq, we'll do everything we can to make your move both quick and safe and make it the best move you've ever had!

Reggie Decides Not To Keep Up With Kardashians

In what has to be the saddest news that someone out there has ever heard, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have decided to end their two-year romance. The celebrity duo decided to part ways citing distance as the main culprit in the decision. With Bush, a former USC standout, playing in New Orleans, and Kardashian making her primary residence in the Los Angeles area, the pair decided to call it quits. Kardashian's most famous exploits include her reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and being a socialite of sorts with famous friends throughout the entertainment industry. Bush's fame has followed him from his college days as one of the greatest running backs of all-time while playing for the Trojans to New Orleans, where he has arguably had a so-far disappointing career. Because we at Starving Students will do whatever we can to make sure two lovebirds can continue with their relationship, we'd like to formally provide both Kim and Reggie the opportunity to take advantage of our Cram Session to save on a move to be closer to one another. Either of them can give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or shoot us an e-mail here This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Jillian Harris Moves People To Tears Like Not Choosing Starving Students

Last night on The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris chose Ed Swiderski in the finale, shunning Kiptyn Locke in making her decision. Did you cry? I didn't. I didn't even watch it. I don't think I've watched a single episode of The Bachelor nor The Bachelorette. I've watched pretty much all of the VH1 reality dating shows though, like Flavor of Love and I Love New York and Daisy of Love. I almost cried when New York picked Tailor Made over Buddha a couple of seasons ago. I was really rooting for Tailor and was sad when they broke up on New York Goes To Hollywood. What's even sadder is that through all of her reality shows, New York has never chosen Starving Students to move her. She's been all over the country with her various gigs and we could certainly get her a discount on her move through our Cram Session and even though she's famous, we're guessing she could use the savings, particularly after her departure from Tailor Made.

Penn State Takes Nation's Top Party School Honors, Just Beating U of Florida

Penn State has been named the top party school of 2009 by The Princeton Review. The home of the Nittany Lions has wrestled the top spot from The University of Florida, which placed second this year and also ironically took the top spot in the category of Best Career School. The University of Mississippi took third place in this year's rankings, which polls 122,000 students at the 371 best colleges placed by The Princeton Review. Penn State has been named on the list for the past seven years, previously finishing as high as third in 2008. This is the first time that the school has nabbed the top spot, however. Proving that school administrators know how to ruin a good thing, Penn State spokeswoman Anne Marie Mountz was quoted as saying, "There are about 10 sites I found on Facebook urging students to vote and make Penn State the No. 1 party school, which shows that these rankings are nothing more than a popularity contest." In addition to being named second in rated top party school by The Princeton Review, the school also placed highly in the U.S. News & World Report's ranking of academic programs including in engineering, which has proven to be a highly lucrative major. Naturally, Starving Students knows how to party. In fact, have you ever seen a college party without Starving Students? Probably not. Either way, if you're planning on moving to one of the best party schools in the nation to attend school or to just, well, um, party, go ahead and give us a call.

Choosing The Right Major Leads To Huge Money

We used to be students and in fact, several of us here at Starving Students still are just that. But for those of us either looking to finish school or looking to go back, one of the biggest decisions you can have to make it choosing a major. I know going in to college that I had no idea what I wanted to do. Part of me wanted to major in business, but I figured everyone was choosing that major. I also considered something architecture, but I'm not really that artistic and you sort of have to have that ability if you're going to be doing something like designing homes or buildings. Then I went with the decision that ultimately helped shape my life -- journalism. Unfortunately for me, journalism doesn't seem to pay a whole lot. It pays OK, but nothing that really puts you in the position where you feel comfortable financially like you really made it. If money was my first priority, I probably should've chosen engineering. According to this article, several jobs in the field of engineering are among the top of the heap when it comes to most lucrative college degrees, perhaps making it the major I should've gone along with. If you're like me and have chosen a career that makes saving money sort of important, go ahead and take advantage of our Cram Session offer when you move with Starving Students and see if we can save you some money. And if you're trying to make some money to get into college and get that degree, see if you can refer a friend to us and make some money when they complete their move and get them the best move they've ever had.

Reinstating Rose? Ban Moves Starving Students

Twenty years after he was banned for life from the Baseball Hall of Fame, Pete Rose's case to be inducted is being reviewed by Commissioner Bud Selig. Selig's review of the case has pumped new life into Rose's once seemingly impossible journey to make it into the Cooperstown building where the baseball hall of fame is located. If Selig decides to let Rose into the Hall, his induction would have to be certified by the 65 members of the Hall of Fame that make up the Veterans Committee, since Rose has surpassed the 15 years post-retirement eligibility to be voted in on the writer's ballot. Pete Rose is Major League Baseball's all-time hit leader with 4,256 hits, which he spread out over his illustrious and amazing 24 season career. He was banned after an investigation revealed that he had gambled on sports while managing the Cincinnati Reds. He has since lobbied several times to be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame to no avail. However Selig's review could reinstate Rose, making him eligible to be voted into the Hall of Fame. One of Pete Rose's nicknames during his playing career was "Charlie Hustle" for his fortitude and determination during the games which wouldn't let him slow down when playing, even resulting in one of the most famous collisions in baseball history when he bowled over Ray Fosse at home plate in 1970's all-star game. Twenty-nine years later, Fosse still admits to feeling pain the shoulder that Rose rearranged during that collision that gave the National League a 5-4 victory over their American Leage opponents. When you hire Starving Students to handle your move, you can be sure we'll show determination when moving your home or business, but there won't be any collisions. With more than 36 years of experience, we have the know-how to get your move done right at a great rate. Take advantage of our Cram Session to save some money on your move and see how you can get the best move you've ever had with Starving Students.

Buehrle Pitches Perfect Game Against Devil Rays

For only the 18th time in Major League Baseball's illustrious history, a pitcher has pitched a perfect game. Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox pitched the perfect game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at U.S. Cellular Field on Thursday, giving the 30 year-old the distinction of pitching the 18th perfect game in Major League Baseball history. Personally, I'd like to thank Buehrle for pitching against the Devil Rays since I have two of their hitters on my fantasy baseball team. I guess I can count on losing batting average this week. A perfect game is a game in which no player from the opposing team reaches base. Unlike a no-hitter in which walks and hitters being hit by pitches can be given up while preserving the no-hitter, a perfect game involves not a single batter reaching first base. Buerhle's perfect game comes at the perfect time to mention our Cram Session. While Mark celebrates his historic achievement, you can celebrate your historic move by saving money on your move with Starving Students.

Solange Knowles Moves Like Starving Students If We Cut Our Hair

Good move or bad move? Solange Knowles, Beyonce's sister, cut her hair to the point where many are saying she's nearly bald. Pictures of the pop star sibling don't make it look like it's that closely cut, but she did remove quite a bit. I'm not one to judge, but I can safely say it's a move I didn't expect her to make, especially compared to her sister whose hair has become quite a spectacle at times. So did she make a good move or a bad move? Whatever you think, you can rest assured that Starving Students will always provide you with a good move.

Comic Con -- Where Starving Students Go To "Comic" Book Their Move

Even though it takes place just down Interstate 5, I've never actually been to Comic Con. This year, the event celebrates its 40th anniversary of vampire-luring by offering sneak peeks to the latest video games and movies that will be enticing fans of all ages to converge in sunny San Diego. As a huge Star Wars fan, I've always wanted to make it down to Comic Con to see the latest science fiction exploits and see previews of video games and movies that might be sucking the money out of my pocket faster than a lightsaber extends. And by lightsaber, I'm referring to the ones used in Episodes 4,5 and 6. Episodes 1,2 and 3 don't really count as Star Wars movies to me but perhaps that's a discussion that would be better served in San Diego this weekend. If you're planning on attending Comic Con and would like to tell our reps how much fun it'll be while reserving your move, go ahead and give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or send us an e-mail here and see if we can't save you some money with our Cram Session on your move with Starving Students.

NJ Mayors Arrested For Corruption

Two New Jersey mayors were arrested alongside several others including a state assemblyman after an FBI sweep across four counties uncovered several corruption charges. The mayors of Hoboken and Secaucus were arrested along with a state assemblyman and dozens of others when the investigation revealed a money-laundering scheme. Among the 30 arrested were Hoboken Mayor Peter J. Cammarano III, who celebrated his 32^nd birthdayon Wednesday, Seacaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, Assemblyman Daniel M. Van Pelt and approximately 27 others including several rabbis.

RIP Taco Bell Chihuahua

RIP to the Taco Bell chihuahua who passed away today. The dog, whose real name was Gidget, died at the age of 15 due to a stroke. Gidget's most famous role was as the Taco Bell chihuahua who would utter the phrase, "Yo Quiero Taco Bell". However the pooch's career also included some other memorable roles including a stint as Reese Witherspoon's dog Bruiser's mother in the Legally Blonde sequel and also alongside the gecko in a GEICO commercial. Check out Gidget's most famous role in the YouTube video here and take advantage of the Starving Students Cram Session while you're at it.

Red Sox Add LaRoche To Team -- Rumors Of Cram Session Abound

Left-handed slugger Adam LaRoche was traded from Pittsburgh to Boston on Wednesday, adding some much-needed hitting to a Red Sox lineup that's been batting.236 since June 17th. The first-baseman was acquired by the Yankee-haters in exchange for Double-A shortstop Argenis Diaz and Class-A right-hander Hunter Strickland, an 18th-round draft pick two years ago. So summing it up, the Pirates are dumping players to get rid of salary from their last-place team and traded LaRoche to the Red Sox. LaRoche has been hitting .247 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs this year in 87 games. The Red Sox hope that adding LaRoche to their lineup will help vault their hitting as their team has dropped out of first-place in their division for the first time all year. Who passed them? Yup, the Yankees. And speaking of passing, make sure you don't pass on the Starving Students Cram Session so you can save $20 on your move.

Save Big On A New Car And On Your Move

Have you taken advantage of the government's "Cash for Clunkers" deal yet? If not, you might want to hold for a few more minutes until you read about this. Chrysler is sweetening the Cash for Clunkers deal by matching the deal on Chrysler's 2009 model vehicles. The Cash for Clunkers deal offers an incentive for people with cars that average less than 18 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving and is not more than 25 years old a voucher for between $3,500 and $4,500. Chrysler's incentive, however, will apply to any buyer regardless of the age and fuel economy of the vehicle being traded in. Imagine getting $4,500 from both the government and Chrysler towards a new car and then saving $20 on your move by using our Cram Session? With a total savings of $9,020, you would be taking a huge step towards beating the recession -- particularly if you're saving money on your new residence.

Remember the good ol' days when a bachelor's degree guaranteed you'd make big money and be set for life? I don't. Ever since I was little, a bachelor's degree was a great thing to get but didn't guarantee you wealth and a lifelong career doing something you wanted to do. However a new report is showing that a bachelor's degree from certain schools can yield you quite a pretty penny. Dartmouth was the number one school when it came to mid-career earnings post-bachelor's degree with MIT and Harvard coming in second and third respectively. What moving company can provide you with the best money back potential?

Free Pastries And Cram Session -- The Perfect Morning Treat

You know I've never been a real big Starbucks fan. I've always preferred Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf or now, I've gotten more into Peet's Coffee but Starbucks is OK for those times when you need coffee now and can only make it to the next street corner without it. I might have to make it out to a local Starbucks today though since today just happens to be free pastry day at your local Starbucks. The only problem with that is it's not really an entire day of free pastries, but actually it's more like a couple of hours of free pastries since the coffee chain is making the offer good until 10:30 a.m. so it might be over by the time you get finish reading this. If you had a chance to run out and get a free pastry though, make sure to enjoy it while taking advantage of our Cram Session and save some money on your upcoming move. Give us a call at (888) 931-6683 or shoot us an e-mail here This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Cram Session Not Eclipsed By Solar Darkening

Millions of people around the world will get a chance to see one of nature's greatest events -- a solar eclipse. The event is expected to be visible from several locations across the globe, but not the United States. The sun-darkening event will be visible from parts of Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar before it heads over to China where some 30 million people will have the opportunity to witness the event on July 22nd, which actually translates to the 21st here in the states. Check out these four places that you can witness the event, which might actually symbolize darkness. If you want to see 35 places where you can witness the Cram Session take place, go ahead and give Starving Students a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or shoot us an e-mail here to see how we can give you the best move you've ever had. And if you want to witness a dramatization of a solar ecplise, go ahead and cover your eyes with your hand or watch The Ring and pause it when it gets to the part that looks like the picture to the right.

Cram Session Not The Worst Failure Ever

When the conversation turns to the worst failures ever, what do you normally think of? I think of things like NBA draft picks that haven't panned out or maybe a failed vehicle or something. But in something that is sometimes known as "Google bombing," someone has made it so punching the term "worst failure ever" into a search engine yields an interesting result.Give that one a shot and see if the search term matches what you had envisioned when you typed in that term. It didn't quite yield the result I expected, but maybe that's just me. One thing I think we can all agree isn't the worst failure ever is the Starving Students Cram Session. This offer can save you $20 on your move with us, which makes it quite the success in fact.

July 20, 1969 -- Forty Years Before The Cram Session

July 20 is one of this nation's most historic dates. It was on this date 40 years ago that Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon in Apollo 11. The much-scrutinized video footage has become something that is etched in the memories of all of us -- even those of us who weren't alive at the time. I actually wasn't alive at the time, but I've seen the grainy NASA video dozens of times throughout my life. I can't imagine what it must've been like watching someone million of miles away bouncing around on some alien surface planting a U.S. flag, but it had to be strange. Check out the video here for some insight on that historic trip and while you're at it, check out the Starving Students Cram Session.

Lugo Cut By Sox -- Could Use Cram Session

The Boston Red Sox cut ties with popular utility player Julio Lugo today, ending what had been a largely disappointing tenure with the ballplayer. Lugo, who was actually designated for assignment and can play multiple positions in the infield, was given the designation to make room for the return of both Mike Lowell, the team's starting third baseman, and Clay Buchholz, who are both being brought back on board. Buchholz himself is expected to be sent back to Triple-A when shortstop Jed Lowrie is brought back tomorrow. Lugo's designation basically gives the team ten days to trade or release the player, meaning Lugo will not be returning to the Yankee-hating Boston team. Should the Red Sox cut Lugo outright, we'd be glad to offer him our Cram Session, which could save him $20 on his move and make the news a little easier to digest. If he's traded, we'd still encourage Lugo to look at our Cram Session and see if he'd be interested in saving the cash. Because even though he'd still be raking in the big bucks, we figure he'd still like to save the money in case things don't work out with his new team.

Save On A Move To Philly For One Last Spectrum Performance

Whether you're from Philly or you're just a sports or entertainment or sports entertainment (WWE anyone?) fan, you probably have fond memories of the Philadelphia Spectrum. My personal favorite just happens to be that Dr. J swooping lay-up from the right side of the basket. Or maybe it's Julius' rock-the-baby -to-sleep dunk with Michael Cooper flying by that's my favorite. I guess it's sad that my favorite Spectrum, which was built in 1967, memories are of Dr. J doing something bad to my Los Angeles Lakers, but anyway. Well now they're tearing the old arena down and what's going to be the final lasting memory? Pearl Jam. I'm not a huge Pearl Jam fan, but that's a decent way to end the run of the Spectrum, isn't it? I'm not sure, but it's obviously not my call. Former ESPN personality Max Kellerman once noted that here in the U.S., we tear down our colisseums, unlike in Rome where they keep them around forever. He made this statement while discussing the Yankees move into their new stadiums, and the Spectrum almost fits into that same category. With countless memories emanating from that venue, I can't help but feel sad knowing that we won't see 76ers nor Flyers games taking place in that once-hollowed arena. If you want to move out to Philadelphia to catch one last glimpse at the arena or you want to hurry up and move out there to watch Pearl Jam, go ahead and give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or send us an e-mail here to get a free quote request on your move today

Jon Gosselin Engaged To New GF -- To Use Cram Session Next

Stop the horses! Jon Gosselin is engaged to his former girlfriend, Hailey Glassman after two months of dating. Wow…big mistake Jon!

There are rumors flying around stating that the father of eight proposed to his 22-year old wild-child girlfriend during their romantic French getaway this past weekend and are considering marriage in Las Vegas.

Oh yeah…. That’s how I would want my dream wedding. To fall in love and get engaged after two months of dating and share our vowels in Las Vegas. Every girls, dream Right? Wrong!!!! Is it me or does this marriage sounds like a sham. According to people who knew Glassman in college, she’s “fame hungry” and is using Jon just to get her hands on his money. Well duh!

Oh….and get this! Apparently, he bought her a $180,000 engagement ring designed by Edouard Nahum that features a skull surrounded by four black diamond. That’s too many zeros! He should be using that money to put into his kids college education instead of on her. That’s mistake #2.

In Touch Weekly also reports, that they stayed in a $2000 a night hotel room eating lobster, drinking champagne and celebrating their engagement. “They all went out to the V.I.P Room nightclub in St. Tropez after dinner,” says another source. “Hailey was flashing her ring around and they were kissing and hugging.”

When Jon finally wises up to Hailey’s games and gives her the boot, she’ll definitely need to take advantage of our Cram Session and save on her moving expenses because I don’t see this marriage lasting very long.

RJ Abandons Wedding And Cram Session

NBA star Richard Jefferson made two mistakes this past week (well, three if you count playing for the San Antonio Spurs). One, he abandoned his would-be wife at the altar with some of the guests already waiting for his arrival. And two, and more disheartening, he didn't take advantage of the Starving Students Cram Session when making the move from New Jersey to San Antonio. Jefferson was to marry former New Jersey Nets dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols at the Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle at a $2 million wedding that ended up never taking place. The couple had just gotten engaged last month. Not one to miss out on an opportunity, Nichols decided to stay overnight at the hotel anyway, upgrading to a suite on the 45th floor of the hotel. While Nichols may never forgive the Spurs small forward, we at Starving Students are more forgiving. If RJ wants to come back to us and move using our Cram Session, we'd be glad to take him. If he, or anyone else, wants to take advantage of this money-saving offer, they can feel free to contact us here This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Apprentice Winner Could Use Cram Session To Start Lt. Governor Bid

I haven't watched The Apprentice in a while, but apparently the latest winner was a pretty good choice -- a good enough choice that he's about to be moved up past Donald Trump's offices. Fourth season winner Randal Pinkett is being considered by New Jersey governor Jon Corzine as a potential running mate later this fall, possibly setting Pinkett up for a chance at being Lieutenant Governor of the nation's 11th-most populous state. Pinkett's task en route to winning the show (and thus becoming the only African-American winner in the show's history) included tasks such as creating a new fitness class for Bally's Fitness, which he did shortly after finding out that his grandmother died. He also set a record for most projects won on his way to becoming The Apprentice. One thing Pinkett hasn't done is taken advantage of our Cram Session, which he could do if he were to move to New Jersey if he becomes Lieutenant Governor. Pinkett's reputation would likely be solidified were he to make smart economical decisions like saving $20 on his move with Starving Students and would be quite a feather in his cap to proclaim when announcing his platform. And if nothing else, it would be a good way to ensure he'd get the best move he's ever had.

Starving Students Provides The Bastille Move You've Ever Had

Throughout France and several other countries, they're celebrating Bastille Day. I never took French history, but apparently Bastille Day is considered the first day of the French Revolution in 1789. On that day only 220 years ago, French citizens armend themselves and stormed the Bastille Fortress where they fought against the government, which they felt was corrupt. In 1880, the day was declared a holiday and they've been celebrating it sort of like our Fourth of July ever since. Lance Armstrong, who's battling his way through the Tour De France by predicting a Bastille Day victory for Mark Cavendish, which is sort of strange since Mark Cavendish isn't Lance Armstrong and Lance is kind of predicting that he'll lose -- if that makes sense. Regardless, Starving Students predicts that Bastille Day would be a great day to take advantage of our Refer-A-Friend offer and make some money by suggesting Starving Students' moving service to someone. Get a $20 check just by referring a friend to us and tell them about our Cram Session discount while you're at it and celebrate the best Bastille Day ever with Starving Students.

Fish Tacos Plus Cram Session Equals Great Day

When the wife and I lived in Sacramento, we used to frequent Long John Silver's pretty much every weekend. I used to always get the fried clams and hush puppies while my wife would stick with the fish and fries or something. One thing we didn't get were Baja Fish Tacos. That's because these happen to be a new item that will be given away free at the restaurant today only. The promotion is designed to get as many people as possible to rush over to their newest Long John Silver's to sample one of these tasty delicacies while they're moving with Starving Students. OK, the promotion doesn't have anything to do with Starving Students, but you could certainly enjoy chowing down the fish tacos while saving money on your move with our Cram Session, making it an even better day.

Romo Breaks Up With Simpson, Doesn't Offer Cram Session

To some of us, it's a glimmer of hope. To others, it's a failure for the ages. Then there are some of us who don't really care. No matter where you fall in, the truth is that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson have broken up on the day before her 29th birthday. According to reports, Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback who followed in Nick Lachey's footsteps in entering into a relationship with the bombshell, broke up with Jessica Simpson the day before her Barbie-themed birthday bash was set to take place. Simpson was allegedly so distraught that she cancelled her get-together the following day, leaving dozens of would-be guests with Barbie aspirations that remain unfulfilled. If Tony wanted to ease the blow, he could've suggested Jessica use the Starving Students Cram Session, which would've saved her $20 off of her move out of his home. With our Dallas branch likely eager to assist Jess, they would've been more than happy to give her the discount and help her move all of her belongings right back to Los Angeles where we still don't have a football team.
