Dan Engelking has a good thing going on with Engelking Design. He’s easy going and he loves his job. I’ve been impressed with his work as he has made me some business cards and a banner for my website and podcast.
He designs a wide range of products such as business cards, banners, vehicle wraps, car magnets, window cling, t-shirts, postcards and much more. If you have printing needs, Engelking Design can meet those needs, and at prices that are hard to beat.
Engelking, a Stephen F. Austin State University graduate, began his design career at Signs of Times in Nacogdoches, a small shop located a block away from SFA. He grew a passion for the field and eventually graduated with a Bachelor in Business Administration and has a second major in Advertising Design.
Shortly after graduating from SFA, Dan married his wife Sara and the newlyweds moved to Tyler.
“Over the next few years I gained further experience by running a 60” large format printer and designing signs and marketing materials,” he says in a statement found on his website (engelkingdesign.com) “As a designer, I also created concept and production drawings for many types of illuminated signage. I learned a great deal running the printer, but I missed working directly with clients like I did at the small sign shop where I got my start. Out of this desire, Engelking Design was started.”
If you’re looking for printing and design needs in Tyler or anywhere in East Texas, look no further than Engelking Design. Visit his website for more information, including how to get a hold of Dan.

Let me first say, I hate needles. There are very few things I’ll willingly admit I’m afraid of but the thought of needles entering my skin is one of them.
However, I’ve learned getting over my fear of needles can legitimately help save lives and it’s important that East Texans realize they have the opportunity to do the same through Carter Blood Care.
Carter Blood Care has more than 26 locations all over North, Central and East Texas, including in Tyler. It holds several blood drives, and all kinds of events and fund raisers for people of all ages.
For example, back in June, blood donors received a special Buy-one-get-one-Free ticket offer to a Texas Rangers game. Their names were also entered to win a pair of suite tickets and 10 lucky donors walked away with lower-level tickets to an exclusive VIP tour prior to a Rangers game.
A month later, just this past July, donors earned points for a gift certificate that could be redeemed for a free pint of Blue Bell ice cream. The same contestants were also eligible to win a free weekend getaway to a bed and breakfast in Brenham and tickets to a Rangers game. On top of that, one lucky winner received a year’s supply of Blue Bell ice cream.
With baseball season heating, Fox Sports Southwest is now offering blood donors in August with a chance to win tickets to watch the Rangers or team of choice.
If that’s not enough motivation, just remember, a pint of blood can save about three lives.

We all know that high school football is big in Texas. Actually, that’s a major understatement. It’s huge, and until you work with high school football in one way or another or you’ve seen the curtain pulled back a little, you might not know just how big it is.
I’ve worked for a few different news outlets in Texas covering high school football and that’s given me more insight as to how big it really is, just like everything else in Texas. After covering a game, I will often go up the office where phones are ringing off the hook. Fans want to know who won different games throughout the area and coaches are calling to report their scores.
Thankfully though, if you live in Tyler or somewhere else in the East Texas area, you have no reason to call radio and TV stations or newspaper offices to ask for scores thanks to www.etfinalscore.com
I wrote for ET Final Score last year and found just how convenient it is. Fans can read articles, look up stats through the season and even look up live stats and scores on Friday nights.
So, if you’re at Rose Stadium watching the Red Raiders and you want to know what the score in the John Tyler game is, just pull out your smart phone and pull etfinalscore.com. Seriously, unless you’re going to report some scores, don’t use the phone to call the station and ask what Chapel Hill is doing. It’ll be on the website soon if it’s not already.

Have you ever stopped in a store or some public location and just stared a big-screen TV and think to yourself, “I only wish” because of the price? Well, most people have probably thought that at one time or another. How cool would it be to order that TV and the Sunday Ticket?
Unless you can’t get the Cowboys games where you’re at, getting Sunday Ticket should be the second step, with the first being getting that hug HD TV.
Again, there’s a problem: the price. However, there is a solution: Aaron’s Furniture.
At Aaron’s, you can rent, buy or rent to buy and can count on Low-Price guarantees. You will pre-approved automatically with no credit check required. You can set up whichever monthly payment plan works best for you whether it’s six month, one year, 18 months or two years.
If you’re looking for furniture, electronics or appliances, Aaron’s is the place for you. Located all over East Texas, including one on South Broadway in Tyler, Aaron’s is easy to find and is available for all your furniture and electronic needs.
If you’re renting an apartment for about 6-12 months, you might want to consider Aaron’s. If you don’t have the money upfront and you only need the furniture or appliances for a brief period, why not rent? It’s a win-win situation because nobody beats Aarons; nobody.
Now, let’s talk about how great it would be to watch whatever NFL game you want, whenever you want.

Summer Break 2012, May – August 2012, Memorial services to be held by teachers and students daily, for the next nine months all around East Texas. Summer came and left us (as she usually does), abruptly this year. Knowing her has been a rich and rewarding experience. She played hard to get through June, allowing us the rain and cool moisture we had missed the preceding year. As such, we mostly stayed indoors reading (and enjoying our lower energy bills), as well as attending events like Vacation Bible School. In July we she began coming around a bit more but remained somewhat standoff-ish, so we busied ourselves with visiting the Tyler Zoo, or other area outdoor venues, like Lindsey Field or Rose Rudman. Still, we knew she couldn’t stay away indefinitely.
By August, as if sensing that her time was short, her visits became longer, and more intense. We felt her warmth in the stands at the Ball Park, and at the pool. We even tried to put a little distance between us by ducking into local museums, and movie theaters. At the end of the day, we watched the Summer Olympic Games on TV and enjoyed our time with her, all the while, wishing the bliss wouldn’t end so suddenly. But of course it did. The time has come for us all to return to the classroom, some as teachers, some as students, but all with vivid recollections of Summer 2012. Goodbye Vacation. I look forward to meeting your predecessor in 2013.
The Summer Break is survived by the coming of Autumn, the fall football season, post- season Baseball, including the Ranger, (make the sign of the cross here), and the coming of cooler weather. The end of the Spring, Winter and the 2011 School year preceded her in passing.
