Dependable Long Term SUV by T Bone on 08/13/2009. Trim: 1998 Isuzu Trooper S, Owned more than 10 years.
Pros: Holds everything, very reliable, easy to drive, incredible in the snow or any bad weather.
Cons: Wish Isuzu had put in a bigger engine. Need to check the oil every week. The car has never leaked a thing, it's 3.5 L engine just enjoys eating oil. Keep it full, and you have a happy car. That's about it. No surprises with this SUV.
Overall review: I purchased this SUV brand new in March of 1998. I have not had one breakdown and have only put any money into it over the past year..which I believe was caused by the top-notch technicians at Firestone (avoid them!). I have driven the car across the country a few times now with my wife and our 3 dogs, the back of the car packed, and a Yakima Space Case on the roof and have no issues. It does eat a little oil, so you need to check it every week. That's about it!

In the midst of a February cold snap and the political maneuverings of a new government that threatens the jobs of good officers including his young partner, Detective Barry Gilbert of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force Homicide Squad is called to investigate the murder of Cheryl Latham, the stepdaughter of a prominent government official. Cheryl, her body frozen, is found on a snow-swept pier at the harbor with a bullet in her chest. Autopsy reveals a bizarre clue - Cheryl froze to death first and was shot later.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
Detectives Barry Gilbert and Joe Lombardo return after their highly praised debut, Cold Comfort. This time the two are plunged into Toronto's Chinatown district where they are called to investigate the death of Edgar Lau, a man whose history and connections take the detectives on a ride across continents and cultures, deep into the story of one family's struggle to survive against terrible odds
When a music mogul is found strangled to death in his apartment, there's little that would give seasoned professionals Barry Gilbert and Joe Lombardo reason to pause, but this is no ordinary murder victim. Glen Boyd, the sly music producer whom even Gilbert once threatened to kill after the man nearly destroyed his venerable marriage, seems to have a shopping list of enemies a mile long.

Nov 18 2012: Well, look at how the Democrats used romney being a confirmed? mormon a lot at the opening stages to your election process at the begining of the year, so , this setup the word mormon with his image and then it was hardly mentioned in the media outside the states as election day drew near, instead the image changed to corporate raider of jobs that your public are so desperately in need of and the presumption of him being out of touch with the American public who are in dire financial strife. his image of good hair good looks healthy skin and expensive suits don't fit with the average voter who sees O as greying from the stress of the job and average looking atire, clean but not looking over the top.
No one i know ever mentioned this as a major factor that i know of.
You Americans are subtle creatures of deceit when it comes to your elections but the Brits are in your face stark raving lunatics 80? to 60? million people on a couple of islands not much smaller than my country, it's only understandable that they are a little fed up with each other, i would be too especially when there is hardly any jobs, at the moment there is another immigration invasion of my country from the Poms but this time it's like they are running from something.
Nov 18 2012: Ken, Spot on. During the Nixon VS Kennedy election of 1960 Nixon went on the air without makeup and looked terriable. Kennedy understood the image factors that you are speaking of and ovecome the "being Catholic" issue that existed in the US at the time. If you look closely you can see the makeup lines on most politicians.
Ken why are the Poms rushing to Austrilia? Why are the Brits called in the slang Poms?
Your right the politicians in Britian are a pesky bunch.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.
Nov 19 2012: It's an Aussie term but we took to using it as well, it goes back to when Aussie was a penal colony and the only people sent there were "Prisoners of her Majesty...something else" i can't fully remember, Cut it down and you have Pohms, it's an affectation since we are connected by the old ties and treaties and a fondness for them as most of us downunder have Pom ancestry somewhere in the bloodlines.
I would say it's the 3rd great migration of Poms, the 2nd was just after ww2 and the 1st was during the colonial times. We're getting Pommed out as well as the "Southies" South Africans, or those that couldn't get into Australia. There is also a massive influx of Indian and Asian immigrants, The cultural milieu has spiked from just a couple of dominant cultures to suddenly 5 of them in the last 20 years.
Changing Waters.

Mafia 2 - Demo Impressions
Mafia 2 honestly hasn't been on my radar as of yet. I bought the original Mafia when it first came out and I couldn't make it past the first chapter. The controls were all over the place and using a gamepad didn't seem to help matters. The story also didn't grab me, but maybe I'm just not a "mob gangster" sorta fan.
So it was out of sheer boredom that I downloaded the Steam demo of Mafia 2. The first thing I did was take a look at the keybindings and, unfortunately, the same level of needless complexity is still present. Why do I need a separate key for "break window to steal car" (Q) and regular ol' "enter car" (F). This isn't a flight simulator I'm playing, it's a GTA clone!
Step 1: Find a sweet ride and then plow into as many obstacles as possible!
The graphics are hit and miss. I had the settings up to the max which, when walking around in the sunshine was pretty, if Vaseline-coated blurry. However, there was just too much "jaggies" to be truly awe-inspiring. They need more options than just "Anti-aliasing - on/off".
Step 2: Look as much like Dick Tracy as humanly possible. This suit alone made the demo 40% more enjoyable.
Overall the game feels a little stiff. I've never driven a car from the 50's and they may well handle like ocean-liners but it sure makes the getaway drives painful. I can't tell you how many times I just plowed into oncoming traffic because the car was sluggish to turn. It was like my front bumper had a giant magnet in it.
I'm not sure why it feels so natural to hold up a gun store owner. I mean, the guy surrounds himself with the instruments of his own demise!
While car gameplay is certainly unfun in its current state, the on-foot gunplay is pretty solid. The cover mechanic works wonderfully; it's a great movie-moment to be hauling ass down an alley being chased by the cops and quickly take a sharp right and hug the corner while the cops run by unawares.
He didn't take too kindly to having my peashooter waved around in his face. At least I have a nice view of the snub-nose revolvers now.
The mission provided in the demo was nothing to get all geeky over. It's a simple mission where you kill some people with a machine gun, storm a distillery with a Tommy Gun, kill your target, and then backtrack through the factory as it burns down. I've seen this scene a dozen times in games and I'm frankly kind of sick of it.
This entire time, I've been bashing the game but even so, I'm now excited for more. It seemed like the demo, despite all its flaws, was able to convey the message, "There's much more to this game than I'm showing you...come back for more!"
Then again, I've learned to be suspicious when games anthropomorphically whisper in my ear.

Juno Temple
It won't be long before "Horns" is on silver screens nationwide, and in the meantime Lionsgate Pictures has a new teaser trailer and promotional poster to build the hype.
Directed by Alexandre Aja, the much-anticipated project stars Daniel Radcliffe and Juno Temple along with Kelli Garner, Joe Anderson and Max Minghella.
Since 2005's "Sin City," movie fans have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next chapter of the Frank Miller franchise, and next month they'll get their wish.
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" just released its latest red band trailer for the loyal followers at 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, and it's the hardest-hitting yet.
Amping up excitement for its summer release, the first trailer for "Sin City: A Dame to Kill" for hit the web this afternoon (March 6).
Boasting an incredibly star-studded cast, the sequel to "Sin City" follows "the town's most hard-boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more reviled inhabitants."
Gearing up for the release of their highly-anticipated flick, the cast and crew of "Afternoon Delight" stepped out for the Hollywood premiere on Monday evening (August 19).
Juno Temple showed off her darling smile and posed with cast mates including Jane Lynch, Kathryn Hahn and "How I Met Your Mother's" Josh Radnor.
Looking to expand his onscreen horizons, Michael Cera explores some darker waters in the new trailer for "Magic, Magic."
The "Arrested Development" actor is joined by stars like Juno Temple, Emily Browning, and Catalina Sandino Moreno in this much-anticipated psychological thriller.
It's one of the most anticipated movies on the docket, and "The Immigrant" premiered at the 66th Cannes Film Festival this afternoon (May 24).
Stars Jeremy Renner and Marion Cotillard got all dressed up and hit the red carpet outside the Palais des Festivals to greet their loyal fans.
Enjoying some time up north, Juno Temple showed up at Vancouver International Airport in Vancouver, Canada last night (November 26).
The "Killer Joe" cutie looked gorgeous as she stepped out of the terminal in a fur coat and immediately pulled a cigarette from its pack and lit up.
She's got a lineup of big name movies in the pipelines, and rising star Juno Temple has also landed herself the cover of the October 2012 issue of ASOS magazine.
The 23-year-old English actress looked darling in a House of Holland striped Raglan dress with an ASOS felt cap for the Alex Sainsbury shot front page while dishing about everything from life in Los Angeles with her man to her penchant for finding deals while shopping.
Giving audiences a first glimpse at its latest romantic horror, Magnolia Pictures released the trailer for "Jack & Diane" on Tuesday (July 24).
In the Bradley Rust Gray directed love story, two teenage girls played by Juno Temple and Riley Keough) meet in New York City.
It's arguably the most anticipated film of the summer and, with only days remaining until its theatrical release, the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises" celebrated at the New York City premiere on Monday night (July 16).
The tremendously star-studded cast of the final installment in Christopher Nolan's trilogy worked the red carpet at AMC Lincoln Square Theater, with those on hand including Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Juno Temple and Tom Hardy.

Using copulas to estimate reduced-form systems of equations
AbstractThis paper introduces a new approach to measuring the association between health and socioeconomic status. Measuring inequalities in health is difficult when health is measured qualitatively, specifically on an ordinal scale. This paper demonstrates a rank-based dependence measure - the copula - that is invariant to both the scale and any monotonic transformations of its dimensions. Accordingly, the copula measure of association between health and income is robust under different cardinal scales for health as well as different income distributions, and can be used for ordering countries. The copula is also used to generate contingency tables of joint probability, which illustrate how this ordering can be due to polarity in the distributions of health and income, as well as stronger association between the distributions of health and income.

Zimbabwean Member of Parliament Lillian Kirenyi is currently under arrest without bail for suggesting that President Robert Mugabe is gay. The government has said that Kirenyi faces "a serious offense" and could encounter retribution from Mugabe supporters if she were released from prison. Mugabe has said gays should be punished in accordance with "African and Christian values" and called British Prime Minister David Cameron "satanic" for trying to promote LGBT equality.

PUMA's Mar Mostro is off across the Atlantic Ocean with the start of Leg 7 of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 from Miami, Florida, USA to Lisbon, Portugal. The PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG crew rounded the buoys in Miami to complete the six-leg inshore loop and headed out for the offshore portion of the leg in the fifth position, with Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing leading the fleet.
"It's very emotional leaving," said skipper Ken Read. "It's not often you get to come to North America and put on a good show and promote our sport. And it wasn't just people from around South Florida, I've met people from all over this country here. It's tough to leave, but at the same time we have a job to do."
The 3,590 nautical mile Leg 7 is expected to take the boats approximately 11 days to complete. The fleet will travel up the Florida coastline before heading east.
"It will be quite light this first afternoon and into tonight, but I think the first boat into the pressure from this tropical storm could have quite a big advantage," said navigator Tom Addis. "Tropical Storm Alberto is the source of pressure to get us north, so it is important to try to feed into that pressure first. We'll be playing around the edge of that system – it's quite small and slow moving, so it should be fairly easy to manage. Overall, it looks like pretty good downwind sailing and a reasonably fast leg, which we always enjoy on these boats. There's a good chance we won't be extreme north as well, so hopefully it won't be too cold."
Leg 7 marks the second transatlantic crossing for PUMA's Mar Mostro. The team first departed U.S. waters on July 3, 2011, with the start of the Transatlantic Race 2011 from Newport, Rhode Island, to Lizard Point, Cornwall, U.K. Their first trip across the Atlantic Ocean was successful as they notched wins in both IRC Class 1 and IRC Overall of the race.
The original PUMA crew is back in tact for the first time since Leg 4. Casey Smith (Brisbane, Australia), who missed Leg 6 due to a lower back injury, returned for Saturday's PORTMIAMI In-Port Race and is ready for Leg 7. Kelvin Harrap (Napier, New Zealand) was back onboard for Leg 6 after missing the Southern Ocean journey with carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms as well as bursitis in his elbow.

Samsung and Sharp are known for being quality brands in electronics. However, the advancements in technology has made its way to the kitchen with their over the range microwaves. The trusted names ensure quality products and there are a variety of different models to choose from.
The following are five models from Sharp and Samsung for over the range microwaves:
Samsung ME179KFETSR Stainless Steel OTR Speed Oven is a convection cooking product that cooks, broils, toasts and microwaves all-in-one appliance. Because the product has a combination with convection cooking, dishes heat more evenly when microwaving compared to traditional microwaves.
Samsung SMH1713S 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave is stainless steel and has a large cavity for a number of different dishes. It has simultaneous program features, one button programming and automatic defrosting. Users need only punch in the weight of the item needing to be defrosted and the microwave sets it on its own.
Sharp Convection 1.1 cu. ft. Over-the-Range With 850W is a convection microwave that bakes, roasts and grills. It is stainless steel and contains a 2-speed ventilation fan that is perfect for an over-the-range microwave.
Sharp Over-the-Range 1.4 cu. ft. 950W has an extra large cooking cavity with a 14 1/8" Sharp Carousel turntable that is the largest turntable in the top microwaves in its class. There are three different venting options and 12 different programs for convenient cooking, defrosting and reheating.
Sharp Over-the-Range 1.5 cu. ft. 1000W Sensor has 1100 watts of power with an extra large cavity and turntable. There are three instant action programs as well as four different defrosting programs. The stainless steel design and sensor technology makes for a high quality microwave with convenience and efficiency. The Auto-Touch Control Panel is hidden to the inside of the microwave to make for clean lines and a sophisticated look.

This is a great moisturizer that has one of the silkiest textures I have experienced. It glides onto the skin easily and also absorbs well due to the rich, gel-cream texture. It claims to treat multiple signs of aging such as dehydration, fine lines, loss of firmness, etc. I am only 24 so I cannot attest to all of that, however I noticed that my severely stressed-out skin has been looking smoother and more supple every morning, and the fine lines underneath my eyes and been looking much better. My skin is also extremely clog-prone and this has never caused issues for me. There are no oils in this formula or even any coconut-derivatives so it makes it suitable choice for most breakout-prone skin. I always use this on top of Advanced Night Repair, which is basically liquid gold for me and this just enhances that and seals it in. I do however find it a bit too heavy to use in the daytime since my skin is combination, so I use the Clinique Turnaround Radiance Renewer, followed by Estee Lauder Daywear Lotion SPF 15. I truly do love Estee Lauder for having antioxidant-rich, modern formulas in their skincare, definitely has some of the best skincare you can find amongst many mid-price/high-end brands. Highly recommend this cream for giving your skin a plumper, more youthful look!

I will start off saying that I am about to be 25 and I am already starting to have my first signs of aging. I want to correct and prevent any further aging however possible. I have dry skin as well and live in a cold and dry country. I received this as gift of purchase from Estee and so far after using the whole jar, I am very satisfied.
It feels very thick and a bit silliconey. Its takes a bit of work to smooth onto skin and sink in, its potent stuff. You dont need much either. I pat this in after smoothing it all over.
the results: Every day a plumped, moisturized, glowy face. my under eye creases are softened and my slight forehead lines are completly smoothed out. My skin feels a bit more taunt, lifted, which I didnt think there could be anymore lifting to my face. This also works well under makeup as a primer but It does not have SPF so at night is prefered.
I dont like that this comes in a jar, it gets under my long nails, not hygenic! It does have fragrance I believe but fragrance never bothers me, I dont mind things that smell good.
This is expensive and worth it. Im very sad my small jar ran out so now I plan to buy a full sized jar. I mentioned I am about to be 25, but it's never too early to start! I can only imagine what this would do for older women, I think this would be perfect.

Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Cream felt emollient on my fingertips; however, once on my face, a completely different story.
My face felt dry and very tight. As a matter of fact, this moisturizer made my skin feel more tight than a moisturizer specifically for firming and lifting. UGH. The tight feeling was so uncomfortable I washed my makeup off within a couple of hours, and reapplied makeup over another moisturizer.
There are products out there with a wonderful perfume scent, but I didn't care for the scent of this particular moisturizer. Of course, personal opinion only.
P.S. Young ladies, please read the review for this product posted by kimmiebat. She hits the nail on the head regarding skin care!
Hello MakeupAlley! My first review here, ever. And this cream made me do it! I received a free sample with my double wear foundation. I already had a drugstore eye cream I used regularly but I didnt realize what I had been missing out on until this. I had tried neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair (white bumps and stingy eyes), olay total 7 in 1 (not enough hydration), loreal revitalift (more white bumps and stingy). So when I first started using this I was just amazed.
It is soft, rich, and silky with a pretty heavy fragrance but it did not irritate my super sensitive skin surprisingly. And considering what it did for me.... I could care less if it had a fragrance. This is I guess a full facial moisturizer but I used it only as an eye cream for the last month and a half which is how long the .17 ounce sample lasted me. Considering the 1oz is 50$, do the math on price/month for eye cream. AND I used alot the first week or so before I realized I didnt need to goop it on like I was.
I went from waking up every morning a little heartbroken at the appearance of my puffy, dark, tired looking eyes to, wow I have no make up on? REALLY?! Lines are softened, bags gone, dark circles gone, firmer around the eyes, better makeup applications. Overall I cant believe a cream can do this much. I dont even have to use undereye concealer these days. It's that good.... And I do not have good skin either. I have Discoid Lupus, Sjogren's Syndrome, melasma, and acne (hello horrible skin).
The only downside is that it does come in a jar. But I did not notice the product being any less effective. Just less hygienic.
I cannot recommend this product enough. I realize I probably dont need a full anti age cream yet but I use this as eye cream and to me its seems a miracle my eyes could look like this. I went 2 days without it and thats when I realized how well this cream really does work. Please splurge and try this, you will not regret it!

Received a large sample of this with my ANR. Used it during my holiday as I didn't want to take two jars/tubes :). This can be used day and night, which I love, just one jar in your bathroom ;)! But: it's a JAR, I really don't get that?! Why put pricey moisturizers in a jar?!! Until they change this I will not buy this. The moisturizer itself is fine, it kept my skin in good condition while I was in hot & humid climate (Bali, Indonesia) and with the A/C on at full blast at nights. I also used this on the 16 hour flight, to & from, and it really did a good job in combination with the ANR. It doesn't bother me that there isn't any SPF in it as you can layer that on yourself with a BB cream (like I do normally) or with a separate SPF (as I did on holiday). It's really such a shame about the packaging otherwise this could've been a real winner in my book!

Would not repurchase. Aside from using Retin-A or an injectable or surgery of some sort, absolutely nothing will get rid if your wrinkles. If you need moisture, fine. But this is nothing special. If we women took better care of our skin and avoided the sun when we were young, we would all look a hell of a lot better. Wear sunscreen and sunglasses and/or hats you young girls on here. Believe it or not ladies, one day you will be old. And how you look depends almost entirely on 1. Genetics and 2. Sun exposure (it's cumulative). Just saying, do not expect any cream at any price point to give you your youth back. Prevention is key.

I have been using this cream for over a month now, so I feel like I've tried it enough to review it.
* Comes in a 30 ml (1 oz) size which is great if you're trying it for the first time, and the price is quite reasonable for a high-end anti-aging product (CA $55)
* Makes the skin feel soft and smooth
* Adds radiance to the skin tone
* Makes pores appear smaller (yaaay!)
* Works well as a primer under bb cream or foundation
* VERY heavy fragrance (and I'm someone who doesn't mind fragranced products)
* Not very moisturizing in the winter time, but provides enough hydration in warmer weather ( I have normal/combination skin)
* Makes my eyes sting when I have it on my face ( I DO NOT apply it to my eye area)
* Causes some breakouts if I use it daily
Overall this is a nice cream that made the most difference in the first week, but now I don't see any noticeable improvements. Cannot comment on its effectiveness on wrinkles or fine lines as I don't see any difference yet. I am not able to apply it every day due to the fact that it makes my eyes sting, so I use it every other day now, which also helps prevent breakouts. However if you don't have sensitive eyes nor acne-prone skin, I highly recommend trying this Cream, I think people of different skin types will like it :D

I will not be repurchasing. The fragrance continued to be a nuisance, and even though it seemed moisturizing enough at first, with continued use it wasn't.
My rosacea, which had not flared badly in quite a while, erupted with a vengeance. It's hard to know what the real culprit for getting it stirred up is, so I can't swear it was this product, but I can't be sure it wasn't either.
Original review:
I've only been using this a short while. I will update after some time passes.
My initial impression overall is positive. Good enough to repurchase.
The past couple of years I've been I skipping around from various brands in a search for a skin care product that does what it is supposed to do, at a price I can afford.
What I like most is that this is (according to my local sales rep) a moisturizer and serum in one. In fact, I like that quite a bit. It simplifies things.
I also likeeven morethat it is a truly moisturizing moisturizer. I have grown weary of moisturizers that still entail adding another moisturizer on top. (I use Embryolisse and actually love it, but, in principle think that one shouldn't have to use a moisturizer on top of a moisturizer)
What I DON'T like is the fragrance!!! I really truly do not understand why cosmetic companies insist on adding such a strong scent to a skin care product. The smell is starting to bother me less each application so I guess I'm growing accustomed to it. I've been using it twice daily for about ten days now, I do plan to finish out the jar, most likely will repurchase too. (unless, if by time the jar runs out I'm still noticing and disliking the fragrance)
Again, this is a "moisturizing" moisturizer. It is great for dry and very dry skin. I don't think that those who don't have dry skin would like it very well, particularly for daytime use under makeup.
I'm giving it three stars for now. I understand that we have different opinions of what is a reasonable price for skincare products, and for me its not the $$ that is the drawback, its just the (in my perception) heavy fragrance. If EL comes out with an unscented version I can see it being a five star product for me.

Wow is this the best moisturiser ? I had been using the Advanced Time Zone and although it was great (it did stop more fine lines appearing) it didn't do anything else, like lift or plump up the skin. Having already tried Resilient Lift (eeek it just balls up on my face) I've been trialling the Global Creme - it's beautiful. My skin feels very bouncy as soon as I put it on, all the fine lines were plumped out and my skin looks fresher. Ladies, there is fragrance in this cream, but I quite like it (it smells a little like the Dior moisturisers). Being a huge fan of the Advanced Night Repair Serum I recommend you put the serum on underneath this cream at night - it really is a miracle.

I started using this and love. My skin is more radiant and my fine lines have gone away. Pricy but definitely worth it.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Wisconsin farmers say they desperately need the warm temperatures that are inching into the southern part of the state this week. The U-S-D-A says farmers continue to be way behind in their plantings of corn, soybeans and oats -- and the cold and wet spring is to blame.
As of Sunday, 36-percent of the Wisconsin corn crop was in the ground -- 16-percent more than a week ago, but still well behind the five-year average of 61-percent. Observers say it continues to be cold below the surface, which means that the crops are emerging more slowly than normal.
Parts of the southwest Wisconsin hit the upper-80's yesterday -- a sure-fire solution if it can last. It's supposed to cool down to the 70's for the Memorial Day Weekend in the south. In the north, some places only got into the 50's yesterday. Many of those places don't expect to see 70 for a while -- perhaps into next week when it's supposed to get warmer, and possibly wetter.
Only eight-percent of the state's soybean crop has been planted, down from the norm of 26-percent. 55-percent of the oat crop is in the ground, 30-percent behind the average. Crop reporters say the alfalfa and winter wheat generally look good throughout Wisconsin -- but they, too, need more heat in order to grow.

Atlanta has the nation's fourth sickest housing market among the country's largest 75 metro areas, according to a new analysis.
Tucson had the worst market, followed by Indianapolis and Memphis, according to the 24/7 Wall St. website. It pulled Census data on the 75 largest metro areas and ranked the cities with the highest overall vacancy rates for both homeowner vacancy and rental vacancy for the second quarter of 2011.
Atlanta had a homeowner vacancy rate of 5.4 percent and a rental vacancy rate of 11.8 percent, the website said.
"The city, which had a significant influx of new residents, particularly from the northeast, has been hit hard," the website said, citing our higher than average unemployment rate.
Ten Sickest Housing Markets
1. Tucson
2. Indianapolis
3. Memphis
4. Atlanta
5. Baton Rouge
6. Dayton
7. Detroit
8. Kansas City

The problem with Bill Clinton and then HEIGHTEN by Barney Frank, that everyone should be able to own a home no matter what their credit was. WELL the poor, minority folks that some that never paid anyone on time were able to buy a house. Well look at the mess we are in now.
August 4th, 2011
10:31 am
It was not the just the minority poor who could not afford a house anyway that caused this. I know about a half dozen upper middle class people who bought an extra house or two in order to flip it and when the market collapsed they just said screw it and walked away. Most of the vacant homes in my neighborhood were owned by real estate speculators who decided to take the loss.

We overbuilt with houses … especially in the burbs … now not enough buyers

Henry, seems all these housing markets are in locations that can only be termed "less than desirable". There is considerable downside risk, as many homes in these markets will simply be abandoned. In fact, it is happening now.
One wonders when people will learn that these places all have horrible weather.
Sun Belt? Sweat Band is a better term, except do not ignore the vicious winters of such cities as Atlanta and Detroit. Bad schools, bad air, bad climate, Nascar, pit bull, tattoo, gangbanger cultures.
What to do?

i agree FS. the minority market was too small to cause a considerable mess like this anyway. the majority of the minority continued to rent.

Hello Bill
August 4th, 2011

My in-town neighborhood seems to be doing just fine. I agree with FS, speculators drove the prices up and everybody concentrated on building homes as quick and cheap as possible.

Yes, the Atlanta real estate market is dead! But the pseudo CEO of DeKalb County, Dick Stogner, pushed through a tax increase to insure the 900 unnecessary county jobs will not be abolished as recommended by a Georgia State study commission. Saving county and city jobs is what Obama wants, and Stogner is one of Obama's willing puppets.

Yes Smarty, we have so many poor minorities in Atlanta that got houses they are the cause of our mess. If you truly believe this statement Smarty then you are as equally stupid as you are ignorant.
@FS I know a lot of people who have just walked away as well. I have even offered them to attempt to rent out the homes they got from borrowing more than they could afford but they simply choose to walk away. I guess they feel no threat….in 7-10 years, they can start all over again.
August 4th, 2011

the white minority has left and the gangbangers shot the light out….tic….tic….tic…..tic, the City of Atlanta, Fulton and DeKalb Commissions are TOTALLY in denial, the APS is a cess pool…….any wonder Atlanta isn't number one in this category?

I have been a home builder out of work now for 4 years and do not see any time in the future when new houses will be needed. This is the worst housing market I have seen in my 40 years of building. It is just a matter of time before the US economy is going to collapse and it will be worst than the depression in the thirties. I do not know anyway to prepare for it except to pray for the Lord to get us through it.

ATL is free falling in so many ways. Catch the Atlanta Forward special reports in the AJC and WSB TV and I think they will show how desperate things are here. I have unemployed 2 years and heading to hopefully greener pastures. My new city (which is featured in the report) has few of blaring issues that Atlanta faces and in fact they are building new infrastructure and amenities to attract new companies and create jobs. I hope it works. I loved Atlanta when I came here some 20 years ago. She has fallen and I am not sure she can get up! Hasta luego, Atlanta!

Hasta Luego ATL is that city Indianapolis? Cause i live here and its awsome. I find it funny this report mentions Indy. Indy doesn't have a sick housing market it has an affordable one actually one of the most affordable Housing Markets in America.

I am not surprised by the the numbers. We have experienced a lot of losses due to the decline in the home market, jobs, etc. We are putting our faith in God and looking to explore our options in a city not on the list, thank God! In less than 20 days, we are out of here! It was good when it was good Atlanta, but we have to say goodbye, until we meet again!!!

Well…we were in bad shape!!! then we ran a bunch of people out of the state some… who were working and paying for their homes with our brilliant Immigration law and we forced more foreclosures and lower property values on ourselves. Just ask Gwinnett County!!! Real Einsteins over there…

Atlanta has some decent neighborhoods that are doing pretty well. Midtown and Decatur are two that come to mind.
All of this is a big adjustment. The economy from 2000 to 2008 was built on quicksand. Atlanta did not build a green economy or an information economy…it was based upon a "sprawl" economy. Can't keep endlessly building and expect it to last. The focus is now turning inward. The city core is actually getting nicer.

Atlanta used to be such an awesom city to live in. Too much crime, traffic unemployment, pan handling and now the housing crisis. I'd get out of here if i could, but my mortgage is underwater! Ah, what this city could have been with even mediocre leadership. And don't get me started about the new panhandler express trolley to no where!!!!! Now Atlanta has it's own bridge to nowhere.

That is because they are still giving out loans like salted peanuts. Driving around my neighborhood I see new "zero down" signs. Did we not learn anyhting? And lets not even mention all the houses people left sitting in foreclosure so they could move in to the new "21st century communes". Half the houses in my county look like they have at least 3 families in them, and none of them look they should have ever been approved for a loan.

I am reading this and pulling the hairs off my chest – want to guess which is less painful?
So many new high-rise condo-minimum "homes" built in Atlanta since 2002 that were built for entry level, single, no kid home buyers. Restaurants that try to hard to be New York chic. Developers that want to bring the death of Buckhead and build the Rodeo Drive of Atlanta? People need to forget about making Atlanta "better" and fix the existing problems first. Infratructure that is crumbling such as 10th St west of midtown, serious hydraulic ground effect under there, going to become a huge sinkhole in the near future, water shortages but our government approves more high-density building permits then tell people NOT to use any water? Atlanta was great until someone decided that we needed to make improvements. Just my opinion.
I am not saying that growth should be thwarted at all cost, but should be done in a reasonable, sustainable pace. Build for the existing demand, NOT for the perceived future. But until our flooded housing market is reduced I dont see much in the way of better development.
Even Donald Trump walked away from Atlanta development and that man will toss up a teepee anywhere.

Atlanta was a giant ponzi scheme that burst in 2008. There was no there, here except for constructing housing that nobody can now afford. It is a very sad place. Seattle has its tech. Dallas and Houston have energy. Denver has green industries. Atlanta has empty houses in weed-strewn subdivisions.

I remember in the 70's Atlanta was named one of the best cities in America for quality of life…a city to move to for low cost of living ..decent schools..and employment. At that time Gwinnett County was the fastest growing county in the nation . Now look at Gwinnett and Atanta. Seems to me the politicians took advantage of all that potential and squandered it for the moment with little foresight for the future.
Water…Infrastructure….Housing….Jobs….YUCK WHAT A MESS!!!!

The Gov't establishing a mentality that home ownership is A Right and not a priviledge enabled sooo many people to get loans/homes they had NO BUSINESS EVER being in. FACT!
I was a State Liscensed Real Property Appraiser (aka RE Appraiser), and I saw this bubble-burst long before it hit us.
Take this example of an appraisal I did to prove my point about "right & priviledge" misconception:
It was for a 2-bed 2-bath 1200 sq ft brand new condo in the beautiful bldg on Peachtree directly across from Crawford Long Hospital. The sale price was $325,000. The contract stated the buyer was only qualified for $155,000, with TAD picking up the remaining $170,000. TAD was an "genius" concept/District (Tax Allocation District) setup to "allow buyers who couldn't qualify/afford to live in the propery the opportunity to live in the property". And this wasn't the only property in ATL that participated in TAD.
So people who have no business being in a certain neighborhood/condo comm are allowed in? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where the neighborhood is headed!

In 2002 Roy Barnes persuaded the General Assembly to enact a predatory lending bill which outlawed most of the really abusive practices in the mortgage business. He lost to Sonny Perdue that Fall, Republicans took control of the Georgia Senate and made major gains in the House. In 2003 the Act was gutted and Georgia became home to some of the most abusive mortgage lending practices in the US. Even Texas has better protections for consumers than Georgia.

LOL, let's move everybody into a house, we'll worry about who can afford it and the resulting bad investments later. Frank/Dodd easy loans, plus no SEC oversight by both Clinton and Bush admins, and here we are.
Think of all the people who've lost equity in their homes–which were the main middle class investment instrument. More important, think of all the bankers and real estate crooks who are not locked up but instead walking the streets unpunished.
We'd have a paradise if we could just flush all the hoods, dishonest people, and crooks down the toilet…

Ed: Good point……"CEO of DeKalb County, Dick Stogner, pushed through a tax increase to insure the 900 unnecessary county jobs will not be abolished as recommended by a Georgia State study commission"…….And doesn't that apply to only home worth 150K and up ??? I would love to see how they "conveniently carved" that line out on a "demographics scale…..i.e. income, Race, ethnicity……it probably looks like that "tapeworm" district they have in the "Fulton County of Plunder and Loot".
Hey here's one idea…..Stop picking up Garbage 4 days a week ?
And don't even get me started on Dodd, B. Frank, Reid, Cruella (Pelosi),….and there Mandate that anyone with a faint heartbeat should own a home…..Wth ? Then, Even when presented with their taped diatribe on "youtube" in the Capital of their stance stanch, remarks, and vote……they still deny. I say we "vote" to have an Amendment that they all be put (start with 25, only so many Egos can fit on an island) on a "Survivor Show"…..Can you imagine the ratings ???
Sooooooo many need to be Voted out, even many Repubs……

breaking news:
God's 'housing market' is solid, firm and will never crash, great investment and pays unmatched dividends… room for all too!
no matter what the Atl's (and everyone elses) mess looks like. it will get worse so invest in a 'house' that has a foundaiton of faith.
i left a decent living because the corporation was getting in way of my marriage, family, personal life, etc. i have learned how to do 'more' for whats important (for family) by doing less for the company. we are working on half the finances, being supernaturally blessed by not missing meals nor behind on bills (no bankroll stashed here). we've made decisions based on faith and are way better off. there is so much more provision now, couldn't see that before, amazing. not easy but one day at a time. God makes promise of provision.
a decent house doesn't necessarily mean it is a good home anyway. don't get emotionally attached to a house nor be afraid it depreciating. nothing is going to get better as we'd like. as a whole we've acquried too much of and too many things and lifestyles that have led us away from God are leading to our demise. proves that all this is temporal. here today, gone tomorrow. blessings do come in disguise.
real success and prosperity is rooted in faith first. hat's off to all making hard decisions, difficult choices, making resolve that there is better. with God all things are possible. we can still achieve the success we long for but must do an 'about face' and change in direction of our thinking. it won't look like what we want it to but we will be better off.
peace to all!

Moving to Atl-region seemed like the best decision of my life, all those years ago. It seemed to have everthing and then some. Too bad, it was just a flash in pan. Too bad, it is now a ghost town. I look back and think about what could have been if it has not fell apart. Then I think that it was never really real anyway and that I was beyond dumb to chase after fools gold. Coming to the Alt was the worst decision of my life. There is a reason why it fell off of a cliff. While it offers cheap rents and housing compared to many other regions, those other regions are worth the extra costs and offer more quality jobs. I miss paying 2000 dollars a month for a small apartment, up North. Sure, I could rent a mansion for that here, but what is that house surrounding by–a broken state. I thought I was moving to the future, but ATL can't escape its past. There are simply too many other cities that offer so much more–for real. I will never again move to any place because I think it will have a great future. I am not a speculator, but it was exciting to move to the ATL because of the promise it once showed. However, it makes more sense to move somewhere that is already great than to gamble on a city that never quite made it.

The crisis started with the sub-prime mortgages and were a DIRECT result of the government's belief that home ownership was good for all. As the economy has continued to tank, foreclosures have spread owners who were, at the time, good credit risks. I am tired of the old saw that it is all mortgage lender's fault. Nobody held a gun to anyone's head at the closing table forcing them into a purchase or refinance. As for the adjustible rate (ARM); if you have an ARM from 5 or more years, your rate dropped. The only ARMs whose payment went up were Interest Only for the first few years. The people who had this were renters, not owners.
That said, there is a silver lining to low home prices. These extra low prices, combined with historically low rates means affordability is at the highest level in our lifetimes. If you are a 1st time buyer and you have steady employment, now is the best time to buy.

I don't buy it…Metro Atlanta may have a lot of vacancies but they are all in concentrated areas. The intown market may not be what it once was, but it certainly isn't apocalyptic. Homes in my area (Brookhaven) are starting to sell at a good pace. They are priced right and there is demand. The same with rentals. Rentals that sat vacant for months are now getting leased in the first week.
But yeah, an empty subdivision out near Power Springs, which unfortunately is part of "Metro Atlanta", will never recover.

Everyone seems to be doing alot of complaining and finger pointing. Here's my question: Do you complainers have a job? Pay your bills on time? Do all of you have good standing with your creditors? Did you just "walk away" from the financial burden you brought upon yourself? Sounds like a bunch of people who think it's easier to give up than buckle down and take control of the situation. Life is what YOU make of it, not what others hand out.

Priviledge not A Right: TAD's were set up to spur development in areas that were struggling. That project was developed in the Westside TAD, which required developers to sell a small percentage of units to people making 80% or less of AMI. In return, the developer receives a lump sum up front to help fund construction. The idea is to get the private sector to build housing where downtown employess could live. Thinking that someone who could afford a $165K loan is bringing down a neighborhood… weird.

The word Ubuntu comes from the Bantu language and represents the spirit of community, togetherness, and the idea that we are all strongest if we are able to help and support one another. The group volunteers and spreads awareness by creating flyers, leaflets, pamphlets, and other informational tools. In 2008 the group raised money for the Cleveland AIDS/Walk and has also done a candlelight vigil and distributed AIDS ribbons and information for World AIDS day.

All-new, modern and rugged design. More space, more comfort, more driving pleasure. Integrated Active Drive System: an advanced interactive management system to enhance performance, handling and safety. D-4D 'Clean Power' diesel technology.
A compact crossover SUV introduced in Japan in 1994 and Europe and North America in 1996 the Toyota RAV4 was meant to catter to consumers who wanted a vehicle that had facilities such as increased cargo room, a higher visibility, the option of four wheel drive along with the maneuverability and fuel economy of a smaller car. The huge success of RAV4 made the Toyota Motor Corporation build and mark other compact SUV's such as the Honda CR-V, the Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute and the Subaru Forester.
First Generation
The first generation of the RAV4 was a two and four-door version. This car generation combined advantages of a sport-utility with the manageable size and drivability. The car could be had with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
In 1998 the US market made available a restyled RAV4 with the front and rear fascias, and a soft-top two-door. One year later the two-door hard-top was dropped leaving the four-door and soft-top models. In this way the Toyota RAV4 of the 90's combined the sporty good looks with a convenient size and an economical engine.
Second Generation
In 2001 a second generation RAV4 was presented in a single trim level with front or all wheel drive. The European's and Asian's preferred the two-door RAV4 whereas the American's were offered only a four-door model with a 2.0L I4 engine producing 148 hp. All RAV4's had 16-inches wheels, anti-lock brakes, stability control, air conditioning, height adjustable, driver's seat cruise control, a CD stereo, power windows, mirrors and heated seats. In 2004 the RAV4 was the best selling compact SUV because it was restyled having a 2.4L I4 engine delivering 161 hp. In 2006, the Toyota Motor Corporation redesigned the RAV4 into a fully functional crossover SUV. The engine produces now 166 hp. It also includes a new 3.5L V6 engine from the Toyota Avalon making the car unique to North America.
Third Generation
This third generation has a third row-seat for two small children but available for the US and Canada only. The RAV4 can be available in front wheel drive or four wheel drive only in North America, most countries selling the four wheel drive version. The Asian and European markets offer the 3rd generation RAV4 built on two wheelbases whereas the long-wheelbase for the North America market. The wheelbase stretches from 101 inches to 173 inches and width expands to 71.5 inches. The cabin has fewer hard plastics, the rear seats slide back and forth 6.5 inches allowing passenger space or cargo capacity to be optimized. The suspension system is redesigned in such a way to enable a good balance between control and comfort.
The four-door Toyota RAV4 is offered in three-trim levels: base, Sport and Limited, giving the buyers a wide area of choices, depending on their tastes. The base trim include 16 inch wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, a height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a CD stereo, power windows, mirrors and locks. The RAV4 Sport has 18-inch alloy wheels with wider tires, a sport-tuned suspension, color keyed overfenders and a roof rack. The top-line Limited is styled with 17-inch alloy wheels, a roof rack dual-zone automatic climate control, a power driver seat and a six-disc CD changer. The buyers can make options. Those who have a Sport or Limited Toyota RAV4 can be offered a third-row seat or a moonroof, or a DVD-based rear system for Limited only. Add to that the fact that the four wheel drive system automatically sends torque to the rear wheels when a loss of traction is detected. The automatic transmission is standard. The V6 RAV4 can tug 3,500 pounds when equipped with the optional towing package.
Regarding safety Toyota's VSC has a stability control system and traction control given by the four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes which are standard. What is more RAV4's with 4WD are equipped with Hill-start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control. Side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags can be optional.
Inside the car, all controls are simple to use. The overall feel is upscale, with less hard plastic. These are electroluminescent gauges like a Lexus' and an illuminated cupholder. To get a flat load floor one has to flip a lever. Due to its flat load floor, the RAV4 can hold a maximum of 73 cubic feet of cargo.
Perfectly adequate on pavement, the 2006 Toyota RAV4 really belongs to this environment. It has become the nicest riding, the most powerful and technologically advanced SUV on the car markets.

text: Marin City Black Film Festival By Post StaffPosted February 10, 2011 7:39 pm By Godfrey Lee The Marin City Black History Year Committee will hold a film festival through February and March. On Friday nights, three films will be shown: "Tales From The Hood," "Rosewood," and "Crooklyn." "Amos n Andy" will also be presented in March. There will be a discussion on these films and their historical and cultural significance. These films will be shown on Friday night at the Manzanita Recreational at 630 Drake Avenue in Marin City. "Tales From The Hood" will be shown on February 11. The film is a 1995 horror anthology film about three young hustlers searching for a stash of lost drugs. They meet up with a creepy undertaker who leads them on a tour of a nightmarish, supernatural underworld. They soon learn about the perils of dealing in darkness. "Tales from the Hood" was directed by Rusty Cundieff and produced by Spike Lee in 1995. "Rosewood" will be shown on February 18. The film is based on a true story of Rosewood, a small Florida town, inhabited almost entirely by quiet, "middle-class" African-Americans. In 1923, a mob of angry whites from a neighboring community, motivate by a false accusation of a single white woman against one "Black" stranger, destroyed the town and killed between 70 and 250 people during their four-day attack. The rest of the town's residents fled into the swamps and never returned. "Rosewood" was directed by John Singleton, and stars Jon Voight, Ving Rhames and Don Cheadle. "Crooklyn" will be shown on February 25. Spike Lee co-wrote and directed the 1994 semi-autobiographical film, which takes place in Brooklyn, New York in 1973. The film focuses on Troy (played by Zelda Harris), a young girl who learns about life through her loving and strict mother Carolyn (Alfre Woodard), her native, struggling father Woody (Delroy Lindo), and her four rowdy brothers. Spike Lee also appears in "Crooklyn" as Snuffy, a bully and drug addict. "Crooklyn" is safe to see with your children; it was one of only two films that Lee directed, along with Malcolm X, to earn a PG-13 rating. "Amos n Andy" will be shown in March 4. Amos and Andy was an African-American situation comedy and was popular from the 1920s through the 1950s on both radio and television. Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, who were white actors familiar with minstrel tradition, wrote the series and did the voices of Amos and Andy. The show was very popular ever since its first broadcast in 1928.So all are invited! Come with your children. The movies will be shown on a big screen. And the popcorn will be 25 cents. For more information, call Marie Gains at 332-9223, Donald Muhammad at 724-9269, John Logan at 332-1441 or Melvin Atkins at 879-0229 CAPTION: Movie posters from top left: "Tales From The Hood," "Rosewood," "Crooklyn."
