Implementing Chapter 206 of the Acts of 2007, An Act Protecting and Preserving Home Ownership
The Division of Banks is currently implementing legislation that is designed to offer much needed relief to existing homeowners and ensure the necessary legal and regulatory framework is in place to prevent the ongoing occurrence of the mortgage-related issues the Commonwealth is dealing with today. This legislation for protecting and preserving home ownership is another important step in addressing the subprime lending crisis and preventing future abuses in mortgage lending. Some of the key provisions of the law include: monitoring and analyzing foreclosure activity patterns in Massachusetts, improving oversight and monitoring of certain mortgage lenders, requiring loan originators to be licensed by the Division of Banks, extending $2 million in grants to establish 10 education centers around the Commonwealth and promote first-time homebuyer and foreclosure counseling, and prohibiting a subprime adjustable rate mortgage for first-time homebuyers unless they a) affirmatively opt into a subprime adjustable rate product, and b) get in-person counseling from a certified counselor. This legislation is a comprehensive effort to provide borrowers with the educational information they need before entering into a mortgage. It also ensures that the standards that honest lenders already meet are followed by the entire lending industry. Check the links below for further information.

Nordic American Tankers' 3Q2013 Report (NYSE:NAT) -- The Third Quarter Of 2013 Produced Significantly Better Results Than The Second Quarter 2013
Link to the complete 3rd Quarter 2013 report: http://hugin.info/201/R/1742085/585509.pdf
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nordic American Tankers Limited ("the Company" or "NAT") saw a significant improvement in results in the third quarter 2013 over 2Q2013. TCE earnings were about $16,500 per day versus about $8,000 per day in the preceding quarter.
In October the Company announced a dividend of $0.16 per share. The Company will pay the dividend on or about December 11, 2013 to shareholders of record as of November 29, 2013. The dividend will be paid from cash on hand. Since NAT commenced operations in the fall of 1997, the Company has paid a dividend 65 times, with total dividend payments over the period amounting to $44.55 per share including the dividend to be paid in December.
During 3Q2013 we had a positive operating cashflow[1] of $2.5m, compared with -$10.6m in 2Q2013. The spot tanker market showed some improvement in the first half of the third quarter, though there was some decline in the final weeks of the quarter. Fundamentals continue to improve, and the overall tanker fleet may shrink in coming years. We believe that a significant portion of tankers on order may not be delivered. The trends in ton miles, a measure of transportation work for the ships, remain positive as trade patterns create more long-haul tanker business. This development points to increased utilization and spot rates. Since the beginning of 2012, 14 of our vessels have undergone special surveys - some for the so called 10 year special survey and some for the 15 year special survey. In 2014 NAT will only undertake two drydockings. Going forward, over the next quarters drydocking costs and off-hire (time out of service) can be expected to be significantly reduced.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

OK, the "ticking clock of doom" is a slight exaggeration. But, here's the situation: tomorrow my plumber is installing my new Waterstone contemporary pulldown faucet. I'm concerned that the extended reach faucet the KD ordered may be too big for my sink. I have a stainless steel sink: double bowl, 9" bowl on the left and 21" bowl on the right. From front to back, the small bowl is 16 inches and the large bowl is 18 inches. The faucet sits in the corner between the two bowls. It looks perfect in the large bowl, but when I swing it around to the small bowl, it reaches very far forward: 7 inches from the front. Do you think I'd do better with the regular version instead of the extended reach version? The extended reach has an 11" span, and the regular one has a 9" reach. If I'm not sure, I can postpone the installation. |

A2gemini -- I think the very first time I ever heard of Waterstone was from you :-) Love your faucet! Would you mind telling me how big your sink is? (I'm thinking mainly of width side to side.) Sadly, the hole has already been drilled, so I haven't got any alternative placements available. Thanks for your help! |

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill was injured on the Miami Dolphins' second possession of the game. The Indianapolis Colts lost cornerback Vontae Davis to a sprained left knee on the Tennessee Titans' opening drive.
At least Tannehill and Davis each got to celebrate a victory - Kansas City quarterback Brady Quinn got hurt in the first half of the Chiefs' 26-16 loss to the Oakland Raiders.
Miami turned to Matt Moore after Tannehill injured his left knee and quadriceps muscle on a sack by Calvin Pace, and Moore threw a touchdown pass to Anthony Fasano to help the Dolphins beat the New York Jets 30-9 on Sunday for their third straight victory.
Coach Joe Philbin had no immediate word on the severity of the injury, saying Tannehill would be evaluated after the Dolphins arrived home. Moore filled in nicely, finishing 11 of 19 for 131 yards after Tannehill was 2 of 5 for 18 yards.
Tannehill was drafted with the eighth overall pick, which made him the first quarterback taken in the opening round by the Dolphins since Dan Marino in 1983. He beat out Moore for the starting job during training camp.
Davis went down defending Chris Johnson on a run during Indianapolis' 19-13 overtime victory at Tennessee. He stayed on the field for a couple minutes before walking off. He was replaced by Cassius Vaughn.
Colts tight end Coby Fleenor hurt a shoulder in the first half and had one pass thrown at him in the second half.
Quinn was hit hard on a sack by Rolando McClain on the Chiefs' third possession, and then took another shot when he threw an interception off his back foot. Matt Cassel came into the game for the Chiefs' next series.
The team said Quinn had a ``head injury.'' He was starting in place of Cassel, who was benched after a weak start to the year.
Dallas linebacker Dan Connor strained his neck in the second quarter of the Cowboys' 29-24 loss to the New York Giants. He remained down on the ground at the end of a play when the Giants fumbled, and did not play in the second half.
Connor started in place of injured leading tackler Sean Lee, who was put on injured reserve this week because of a big toe injury sustained in last week's win at Carolina that will require season-ending surgery. Lee was on the sideline in crutches Sunday.
The Giants also lost a starting linebacker when Chase Blackburn was knocked out in the second half because of a left hamstring injury.

What was wrong with the silver? |
silver or gray |
There are cool silvers and warm silvers. Are you planning on using the same grout for both tiles? I have used Latacrete's Silver Shadow with great results. It, to me, is a cool silver. Do a sample board! Do not grout without this test. Soon I will be grouting the shower porcelain, and using Latacrete's Sterling Silver, which is warmer to me, and slightly darker, so I will be mixing with some white in a 1:2 ratio. One part Sterling and 2 parts White. I have done this with my other installations with excellent results. The Silver Shadow is very light though and I didn't lighten that one with my first bath remodel. |

I had used the Calacatta Supreme marble tiles along with the white glazed tiles shown here. The Calacatta Supreme comes in a gold, grey and white colors so you can choose the color that best suits your white glazed tiles from these. |

My husband cheated on me nearly 2 years ago with the mother of his child. We have attended counciling and I thought I was over it. We recently had a child of our own and now that she is here I find myself not wanting my step son in my life as he reminds me of his mother. I don't want anything to do with either of them and I want her out of my life. Of course this is not going to happen, and I dont actually want my Step son put of my life as I do love him. I am just feeling so torn and confused and dont know what to do! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Get back into counseling ASAP! I don't think your feelings are unusual nor do I think you are a terrible person for feeling that way, but if you don't deal with the hurt & anger you have, it will destroy you... your life & your marriage. There is very little that a forum like this can do to help you with this problem, I think it will really take professional help. |
Ima's right -- I can understand where you're coming from, but if you don't *genuinely* get through it, it will destroy everything you care about. |

Reading Guide
Return to Tradd Street
Karen White
Melanie is only going through the motions of living since refusing Jack's marriage proposal. She misses him desperately, but her broken heart is the least of her problems. Despite an insistence that she can raise their child alone, Melanie is completely unprepared for motherhood, and she struggles to complete renovations on her house on Tradd Street before the baby arrives.
When Melanie is roused one night by the sound of a ghostly infant crying, she chooses to ignore it. She simply does not have the energy to deal with one more crisis. That is, until the remains of a newborn buried in an old christening gown are found hidden in the foundation of her house.
As the hauntings on Tradd Street slowly become more violent, Melanie decides to find out what caused the baby's untimely death, uncovering the love, loss, and betrayal that color the house's history-and threaten her claim of ownership. But can she seek Jack's help without risking her heart? For in revealing the secrets of the past, Melanie also awakens the malevolent presence that has tried to keep the truth hidden for decades..
After playing hooky one day in the seventh grade to read Gone With the Wind, Karen White knew she wanted to be a writer-or become Scarlett O'Hara. In spite of these aspirations, Karen pursued a degree in business and graduated cum laude with a BS in Management from Tulane University. Ten years later, after leaving the business world, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a writer and wrote her first book. In the Shadow of the Moon was published in August, 2000. This book was nominated for the prestigious RITA award in 2001 in two separate categories. Her books have since been nominated for numerous national contests including another RITA, the Georgia Author of the Year Award and in 2008 won the National Readers' Choice Award for Learning to Breathe.
Karen currently writes what she refers to as 'grit lit'-southern women's fiction-and has recently expanded her horizons into writing a mystery series set in Charleston. Her tenth novel, The Lost Hours, will be released in trade paperback by New American Library, a division of Penguin Publishing Group, in April 2009.
Karen hails from a long line of Southerners but spent most of her growing up years in London, England and is a graduate of the American School in London. She currently lives near Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two teenaged children, and a spoiled Havanese dog (who appears in several of her books), Quincy. When not writing, she spends her time reading, singing, playing piano, chauffeuring children and avoiding cooking.
- Why does Melanie hold out on Jack's marriage proposal? How do forces (human or otherwise) bring them together and continue to entwine their lives?
- How does Melanie feel about her psychic gifts? Would you find them a comforting ability or an upsetting curse?
- How does the author describe the psychic experience-what specific kind of activity arises? Is this how you would imagine a ghostly encounter (cold spots, movement in the corner of your eye)?
- "There's no such thing as a stray feeling. I think more people are psychic than we think." Do you agree with this idea? How can you know for sure?
- Why do you think Louisa remains at Tradd Street? Is she a protective spirit for Mellie and, later, her twins? How does she play a role in the events of the book? Do you think she unraveled the mystery of the lineage while "nesting"?
- Discuss the role and types of mother and child relationships (by blood or otherwise) in this book.
- "If you wait until everything's perfect, until all your differences have been settled and all the stars have aligned just right, then you miss your chance at happiness." Do you agree? How does Melanie's goal of perfectionism undermine her chances at love and a "peaceful" life? Do you think the experience of motherhood will adjust her expectations?
- Were you surprised by the Gilbert's decision? Or the nerve of Marc to offer a bid?
- Do you think Melanie made the best choice in the love triangle that formed between herself, Jack, and Detective Riley? What kind of futures could both men offer her?
- Do you think the attic encounter will resolve Camille's presence? Why do you think Charlotte's spirit hasn't haunted the home after so much history and drama that occurred there?
- Can you imagine Melanie one day giving up her business to consult on police cold cases? If you had a paranormal gift, would you offer up your services?

The Peachtree City Council is considering a ban on gas-driven golf carts, granting preference to 95 percent of the people like me who purchased an electric golf cart.
I know the mayor and City Council members are good people, working hard for all of us with the best intentions. But I do hope those leaning toward the gas golf cart ban will consider what may appear at first to be an outrageous observation, that this tiny and local golf cart issue is symptomatic of a national breakdown in what we expect our government to do.

In an Aug. 10 Citizen report on our county's 53 miles of dirt roads allegedly maintained by the Fayette Road Department, we were told that (1) the county has $1.8 million squirreled away to pave them, (2) the county scrapes these roads and treats them with "substances to tamp down dust and stabilize the soil to provide resistance from damage caused by vehicle tires and rains," (3) the county "needs a minimum 60-foot-wide right of way to pave any of the roads," and (4) "a few people" have said they don't want their road paved and have refused to give the county the right-of-way the county needs.

Out of curiosity, folks will sometimes ask who is an inspiration or hero to me. Since I rarely think in those terms, I have to stop and think about that answer.
Without fail, I always find that the ones who have inspired me most were common folks with few, if any, uncommon traits or accomplishments. Parents, teachers and others who offered a kind word, encouragement or wisdom when it was most needed are the ones who stand out most in my mind.
But now I have found a hero and from now forward whenever anyone asks that question, I will immediately reply, "Sandy Mary Thompson." Read More»
Last month, Shirley Sherrod was asked to resign her USDA position after being accused of racism.
The controversy erupted on Monday, July 19, when conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart posted a heavily-edited video of a Sherrod speech. In the video, Sherrod related a 1986 incident in which she said that she didn't help a white farmer in South Georgia as much as she could have. She told an NAACP gathering in Coffee County that she "didn't give the full force of what I could do" as he came to her for assistance. Read More»

What is it about a secret that makes you want to tell everyone, even a complete stranger? Ever notice the repercussions for telling a secret grows proportionately as we do? Until we get to be adults, that is, but that's where this story ends.
The beginning is first grade. There all you had to do to keep a secret was pinky swear. It was simple and worked for everyone, except for Ryan. He was born with only one pinky. So he could only pinky swear half as much as the rest of us. For the most part, though, pinky swearing worked just fine in the first grade. Read More»
A couple of months ago, I announced that I had come up with a "Bucket List" of things I wanted to do or places I desired to see before I "kicked the bucket."
Actually, it was a "barf bag list." I decided to make this list while on an airline flight and, scrambling around for some paper on which to write, all I could find was an air sickness bag. So I made a "Barf Bag List," a simple statement of things I'd like to do before I "choke." Read More»

This is by far, my favorite dry shampoo. The bottle looks pretty lame...it looks like shaving cream for men, but it's dry shampoo. If you like the retro look, then this bottle is perfect. It is a metal can and it's a spray. I have rather dark hair, so I've tried Batiste and Klorane. Those two tend to leave an annoying white powder on my scalp, but the Pssssst one does not! This was a pleasant surprise! With that being said, I use a little more than I would of the Psssst one than I would with the others, but it's a fairly-priced dry shampoo. By that, I mean that I feel as if I have to use a lot more product in order to de-grease my hair. It is about $5.99 and Batiste is about $7.99. Klorane is wayyyy up there on the price chart, so one bottle of Klorane would be around $20. Psssst is the cheapest and it works much better than the others, in my opinion. The scent is also very clean and pleasant...it's a neutral scent, so I'm sure a lot of people won't be bothered by it. If you have to pick a dry shampoo, pick this one.

I'm always looking for a new, great smelling dry shampoo. This brand is old-school and after trying a few prestige brands, I thought I would give this a try. Results...worked okay at first, but didn't absorb as much oil as I wanted. Like the clean scent and how it neutralized hair odor, but did not like the white residue (you really have to comb it out or the white lingers).
-Lightweight feel
-Clean scent
-No animal testing
-Great price point
-Available in a travel/trial and full size
-So-so at oil absorbing
-Nozzle gets clogged easily
Ingredients include aluminum starch, SD-40 alcohol and butane (acts as a propellant)
Can't stand this stuff - a friend of mine brought it along on a camping trip and it made my already fine and "needs a wash badly" looking hair look even worse.
This product really doesn't do anything to make my hair fine second day hair less oily. It's like spraying air, I don't see any change. Only good thing is that it's really cheap so I didn't lose much on it.
I love dry shampoos and I've tried a lot. I always have this one and it's definitely my favorite so far. My hair is super light blonde, so I never mind the white part of dry shampoos, if anything, I like it. But my friends hair is much darker and she loves this one too. It's easy to find and there's usually deals. I wash my hair about twice a week and it's past my mid back, so this helps in between washing and makes it look better when it's up.

I have really thin and oily hair that gets greasy in 24 hours time. I tried this dry shampoo and hated it, it does nothing for your hair, smells nasty, and is wayyyy to white! On to the next.
I've tried quite a few dry shampoos. This one is the best one I've found. It doesn't have much fragrance and I LIKE that. I have very oily hair. It is fine and straight. My hair is light brown and this doesn't change color. Love love! I've been using this for 2-3 years.

i use this on my second day hair, it makes my hair really clean when i first spray it on but after a few hours, my hair starts getting greasy again
this totally did not work for me. i have straight fine hair that goes down to my mid-back. because my hair is fine, it gets oily pretty quickly. the longest i can go without washing my hair before it starts looking gross is maybe 26 hours; therefore, i have been diligently washing my hair every single day.. but wanted to try a dry shampoo to see if i can get by without washing should i ever be in a pinch. unfortunately, this dry shampoo failed me miserably. if anything, it actually manages to make my hair look more dirty / greasy / gross. no go, into the trash it goes.
Well, it seems like I am the only one who didn't like this product hahahaha. To start with, I have to say that this is not a bad product by itself, is just that doesn´t work on my super dark hair. No matter how much I comb, it always leaves an ashey cast in my hair (I have to say that also leaves my hair slightly wet). I can see this product working wonders on blondes. For me, I prefer Klorane dry shampoo, It is more expensive but leaves no residues, no humidity on my hair and absorbs oil like a charm.

Two Bosses Enter: Ichoron vs. Ionar {WoW}
Apr 6th 2009 3:59PM Ionar would win this...when they split, (assuming they split at about the same time), Ionar's split adds are immune to all damage, and therefore will have the advantage. As Ionar reforms, Ichoron will probably still have adds up - but ball lightning + static charge will obliterate most or all of those adds. It comes down to which one can do more damage in its regular phase, and although Ichoron would make a push during its enrage, I think Ionar would still come out on top.

Should women really think like men when it comes to love? Michael Ealy doesn't think so.
Romantic comedies would have you think that love is a battlefield and every move you make in a relationship should be carefully thought out. Every decision you make should be part of some larger strategy.
Michael, who stars in Steve Harvey's upcoming movie Think Like A Man, thinks it would be good to consider your boo's point of view, but don't adopt his thought process.
"I think women should have insight as to how men think. Just like men should have insight into how women think," he told The Huffington Post during a recent interview when asked if women should get into the habit of thinking like men.
Knowing how men think and actually thinking like one are two very different things. Michael doesn't suggest that you use your insight to play games because you eventually have to get real to form any meaningful bond. He believes Think Like A Man does a great job of illustrating that point.
"One of the things that this movie does is, everybody looks at the dating game as just that: a game. But with this movie we bring you through that with the gamesmanship and 'I'm doing this and you're doing that,' and all of that chess-playing back and forth," Michael said.
He continued, "What brings this movie home in the end is the fact that everyone feels a sense of connection with the other person, which surmounts the gamesmanship. And everybody is able to put the games away and be themselves and that's where they find the true connection."
Michael has learned many lessons in love, but unlike the guys in Think Like A Man, he's had to learn them through experience.
"No, I wasn't smart enough to read relationship books when I was coming up. I learned everything the hard way," Michael admitted. "And I, like Dominic, would listen to my dumb-a$$ friends. At a certain point you're like, 'I got this, thank you!'"
