Foreclosure Madness Just Won't Stop
More pain is forecast in the housing market.
All you need to do is look at Broward County Property Appraiser records to see why. There are thousands of properties left over from the housing boom that have neither been foreclosed or short sold.
They're saying the bottom might hit in 2012, and the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the housing boom that began ten years ago has officially disappeared.
If you haven't been profoundly affected by this mess, you know someone who has. This is something that we need to go through as a nation. Where is Obama? Playing footsie with the banks, letting them stall and hem and haw before they lower the hammer on the upside-down homeowners who are left and truly want to save their house? I believe the president's greatest failure so far has been his inability to get ahead of this crisis.
You want to see something scary? Go do a Broward Property Appraiser's website search on Sailboat Pointe.
Sailboat Pointe was a massive apartment complex in Oakland Park that converted to condos in 2005, at the height of the boom. It did a great sales job, apparently, as two/twos went for the high hundreds well into the two hundreds. These are units that rent for around a grand. It was insane.
Those same condos today are selling for about $50,000. Just to get an idea of where we're at right now, click here on the appraiser's site and punch "Sailboat Pointe" in where it asks for the subdivision name. Then look at the first unit on the list. It's owned by a man named Terry who is maintaining his homestead exemption on the house. He's apparently making a go of it. He paid $190,900 for the property in June 2005. It's now assessed at $50,000. That's the first one. Now just start going down the line of properties and you'll see that
many are in Terry's position. While some of the units have been foreclosed or short-sold, more appear to be just sitting there, waiting for the pain.

Loan remodifications are the answer, you say? Well, not until the banks really start to play ball. The derelict banks are offering lower interest rates to some homeowners, but, as McCabe will tell you, only very rarely do they offer reductions in the principle owed. Until the banks actually start reducing the principle, most modifications are nothing more than staving off the inevitable. "In a lot of cases, the homeowners are going to die before the house will be worth what they paid for them. We're turning people into glorified renters who will never have equity in their house."
What's worse, the banks are often going after the hapless homeowners after the distressed sales for the unpaid principle of the doomed loan that was the product of a collective madness and greed that overtook the housing industry and the nation.
That's not just unethical -- it's immoral.
Somebody's got to get real, and it starts with the banks, which so far have been miserable during this interminably long crisis. I guess that would be predictable since they were the driving force behind it in the first place.
-- I got a quick congratulations to extend to Al Lamberti's public corruption unit. With the Cindi Hutchinson arrest, it finally has an arrest under its belt -- and it looks like a strong case.
The sheriff hired former FBI agent Al La Manna last year to head the unit, which has three deputies working full-time in it. We wondered if it would be a serious effort or just a political extension of the sheriff. At times, it has stumbled (see Gunzburger, Sue), but this case puts it back on the right track. Here's to a few more.

Hunstanton's Kerry Thurgill, 762, spins Stacey Lightfoot in the Lady Bangers. Picture: D Widdows
By GAVIN CANEY, Sports Reporter
Thursday, June 7, 2012
There were two very different stock car sessions at the weekend as the weather influenced the Norfolk Arena action.
Heavy rain made conditions very tricky on Sunday, with Wisbech's Tom Smart adapting well to book his place in the F2 Stock Cars final.
However, after carving his way through the pack, he misjudged an attack on eventual winner Paul Wilson in the final with two laps to go which forced him to retire after damaging his vehicle.
Wisbech St Mary's Thomas Parrin and Wisbech's Shaun McMillan took heat honours in the 2L Stock Cars, but Ely's Carl Waterfield took home the afternoon's prize for winning the main race.
Fine work from Buster Chapman ensured Monday's meeting could go ahead – much to the delight of another bumper crowd.
Swaffham's Ashley Garrod (fourth in Big Vans), Terrington St Clement's Stuart Green (entertainer award) and King's Lynn's Jamie Childerhouse (second in Small Van Bangers) flew the flag proudly for West Norfolk.
Fans will have to wait until Saturday June 23 for four-wheel racing to return to the King's Lynn track for the annual Bandit Memorial. 2L Stock Cars and Unlimited Bangers will be on the bill.

Out with the old... |
They've been replaced - with no little fanfare - by fancy new buses supplied by the Arriva company. Now, 'Arriva' is a name which asks for trouble when you are running a bus company. There were many and frequent problems when these buses were launched onto an expectant public - right in the middle of the busy tourist season too, which added to the complications. People would wait for hours hoping for the arrival of one of these machines, only to watch it blaze past, stuffed to the gills with human cargo. I have personal experience of waiting for a bus for what became a couple of hours in Mellieha. We had hiked up the hill to try and avoid the throngs of people at the stops next to the beach, but to no avail. Tough, bitter memories.
...and in with the new. |
Of course many people were sad to see the demise of the old buses, not least those outlets who overstocked on yellow bus fridge magnets. There are always pros and cons with these types of situations.
Pros of Old Yellow Buses: They looked nice and offered you a taste of what life was like before i-pads and things of that nature. Tickets were also cheaper than with the updated versions.
Cons of Old Yellow Buses: Uncomfortable, no air-conditioning and prone to breaking down.
In summary, if you actually live here and need to use public transport, buses with air-conditioning are good.

I was given this as part of a gift set for my birthday. I absolutely hate it. With apologies to all body Shop fans (and I am actually one of them), I find this too horrible for words. It is like rubbing vanilla blanc mange /any king of vanilla dessert on your body.
It may be moisturising, but the sickly, icky scent of vanilla will pursue you for the rest of the day, until you can bear it no longer and have to have a shower. And it made me itch. And for all the organic vanilla it contains it also has all sorts of parabens.
This is something just for people who love to wear really sweet scents.
I am not against vanilla when subtly combined with other scents, but personally, I found this cream totally offensive.

'Less Government' isn't the Solution |
Mark Weisbrot Lima News (OH), July 14, 2013 After five years of abnormally high unemployment since the Great Recession began, it is strange to hear people with access to major media still claiming that the solution lies in smaller government for America. It was not the government that got us into this mess; it was the private sector. An $8 trillion bubble in the real estate market was the cause of the Great Recession, when it burst. The arithmetic is fairly straightforward: private spending on construction collapsed, and homeowners cut back on spending (and borrowing against their homes) when their housing wealth disappeared. And then state and local governments tightened their budgets, laid off teachers and other workers, and added to the downward spiral of output and unemployment. The federal government actually played a positive role for a while with its stimulus program, saving about 3 million jobs [PDF]. But it was much too small – the government stimulus, subtracting off the impact of the states' budget tightening, was only about one-eighth of the private demand lost from the bursting of the real estate bubble. That is the basic accounting of the Great Recession, as well as the weak economy and tragically high unemployment from which we continue to suffer. To the extent that the government has had anything to do with this, the problem has been its doing too little: not enough regulation of the financial sector as corporations like Goldman -Sachs, Merrill -Lynch, Lehman Brothers and others helped inflate the housing bubble with reckless and sometimes fraudulent lending and investment practices. And not enough stimulus in response to the collapse. Also ironic for the libertarians is that one of the most important positive responses to the Great Recession, that has made the most difference in preserving employment and income, has come from the Federal Reserve. The Fed has created more than $2.3 trillion since 2008, in addition to lowering short-term interest rates to near zero and keeping them there. This has provided a major boost to the economy, and Ben Bernanke made a mistake last week by giving markets the impression that the Fed might begin to reverse course sooner than expected. Again the problem is only in the government doing too little, not too much, in response to a weak economy. Paranoid fantasies that the Fed's money creation (quantitative easing) would cause high inflation, and/or cause long-term interest rates to rise (because of fears of future inflation) have proven unfounded. Consumer price inflation is still extremely low at 1.4 percent over the past year, and even after Bernanke's remarks, 10-year Treasury note rates are at a historically low 2.5 percent. Interestingly, conservatives who are against the Fed's intervention to promote employment did not complain when the Fed actually caused most of the recessions of the past half-century by raising interest rates. This was done deliberately to raise unemployment, so as to push wages down – with the argument that this is the best way to reduce inflation. This example is one of many which illustrate that the debate between conservatives and their opponents is not really about governments versus markets. Conservatives support very intrusive intervention against "free markets" when it tends to re-distribute income toward the rich: for example increased enforcement of government-mandated monopolies such as patents and copyrights; helping creditors collect debts when they make bad loans; and negotiating "free trade" agreements that only subject working people, but not highly-paid professionals, to increased global competition. The real debate is not so much about whether we need more or less government or markets, but whether government or markets, which both play important roles in our economy, will be used to benefit the majority, or primarily the richest – as has been the case for more than three decades. |

Trip Report: Hornby Island, B.C.
December 27, 2010
Hornby Island is a dot of land in British Columbia's inside passage, a misty and green place quiet and secluded a couple miles offshore from Vancouver Island. Access is via two ferry trips, and once you're there the pace of life slows down immediately. It's a sleepy place with rolling waves, foggy beaches, and enchanted forests cloaked verdant green with moss, ferns, and towering pine trees that fade above into the gray.
This fall, on a trip through British Columbia, I spent three days on Hornby. I got up early one morning to do a solo trail run across the island's wild west side and through Mount Geoffrey Regional Nature Park. My goal was the summit of the park's eponymous mountain peak, the 1,080-foot Mount Geoffrey.
The mountain is the highest point on Hornby, and it's accessed via the aptly-named "Cliff Trail," which parallels the immense cliffy bluffs guarding the western edge of the island. As the sun dipped behind a wall of clouds, I took off for a run on the Cliff Trail with my SPOT device, a couple energy gels, water, a compass, and a lightweight shell in anticipation of the island's common rain.
My map, a freebie snagged from the lobby at our cabin resort, was rudimentary. With an infusion of new mountain-biking trails in the park, I ran off the map and found myself lost more than once. At a trail intersection, I leaned back to read an unexpected sign: "4 Dead Aliens," it foretold.
There was not another soul in the misty woods above the ocean. The run — a 5-mile route end to end — was quiet and serene, the moist air, soft forest floor, and mass of vegetation absorbing all noise. The animals on Hornby are quiet even.
Despite some navigational confusion, I made my objective less than an hour into the adventure. On the summit of Mount Geoffrey, an easy climb with a tree-choked view, I found prayer flags strung up and a cairn marking the high point. I set my camera on a self-timer mode to get an image. Then I ran east, following my compass needle on a bearing toward the far side of the island.
The woods opened enough that I could run off trail. I hopped logs and ducked under low branches. The mountain-biking trails, which rolled and looped in the woods, served as waypoints to prove I was headed the right way.
Two hours into the run, I stumbled out of the trees and onto a trail. The wide path led to a road, and I ran downhill toward a line of mountain bikers suited up and spinning toward the singletrack I'd just left behind. My "finish line" on Hornby was just ahead. For the bikers — pedaling fast, clicking into new gears — the adventure, including "4 Dead Aliens," was still ahead.

I planted a red robin against a shady fench a couple of years ago . It had been trained to fan out against a bamboo trellis . Since then a number of the branches the leaves have gone brown and crispy . I pruned them back but I am still loosing leaves and branches . I have a well established tree which must be at least 20 yearsold planted in a sunny spot and that survives anything . Should I move the sick shrub or maybe feed it ?
Hiya janie
Just wait a while. It might recover. No dont feed it right now.
I would wait Until the spring and see if it shoots. If it does remove dead stuff and feed it then. if not then remove it. I,would not replant with another photinia there.
Photinias do get diseases ....like anything can.....and I lost one to a form of phytophthora. Rather than plant another shrub there I have a dahlia (bishop of llandaff) growing instead.
I have a big photonics that has grown into a 15 foot tree. Last Year I lopped the top off back to about 8 feet, but it's much too wide. It only has leaves on the last foot or so of each branch. How hard can I prune it? I assume I have to leave some leaves but I'd like to take off as much as possible.
...I think you can hard prune these...I used to cut mine back quite hard into old wood, about June time.... top and sides... I don't have one currently so I'm going back a bit... but it recovered soon enough....as I recall....
Thanks Salino. In another thread someone has suggested cutting back to old wood on some of the branches and waiting for them to shoot before attacking the others. I assume it needs some leaves to survive!
I also need some help please - I have 3 fairly large standard photinias. , 1 looks healthy and the other two very thin. there are lots of leaves dropping off and they are new leaves. I have googled it and am not sure whether I need to give it lots of water or not water it (as one piece I read said they don't like their roots water logged) I am at a loss what to do. I wanted them to be big and bushy to hide the neighbours view into my garden. Do I water and feed with growmore (I also read that somewhere) I am anxious to prune it ......I am at a loss and new to gardening......although I have got the gardening bug....your help and advice would be much appreciated

The Daily Quest: Tips for tanks {WoW}
Jan 16th 2011 6:20AM I am not in a guild and only use the dungeon finder for groups. Compared to etiquette on the beta servers, the live player-base has been equivalent to drinking tea with the royals.
That said, I actually find PUGs very successful now. Maybe it's because I start with a friendly attitude and try my best to keep things up-beat regardless of how things are going.
To be fair, the dungeons became a lot easier for me once I had tried each one, and also when my gear was good enough to maintain threat and keep things easier on the healer. At the same time, the gear and experience of other puggers was improving, and now I have few dropouts and fewer strops.
Though there is always the dreaded "This dungeons is already in progress" offers, which I often don't have the temperament to accept :)
The Queue: Nothing {WoW}
Jan 15th 2011 1:03PM I remember back in the first year of WoW and blue confirmed the nature resists while CC is active. There is a regular check and it is based on the hit of the person who casts it (back then, no one had +hit though!). Unless it has been changed, I would assume that is still how it works. It is what made it hard for healing priests to mind control (often broke early).
The Guild shooting season 3, fires director (not really) {WoW}
Jul 2nd 2009 2:23AM not a bad parody of the Perez Hilton event
Extended maintenance for Patch 3.1: the European edition {WoW}

I'm still more concerned that this faction leader is still only using the Illusionary Rod
A Death Knight's first dungeon: Dos and don'ts, part one {WoW}
Nov 30th 2008 3:42PM As prot warrior, I've never lost threat to a DK, they're always really low on my threat meter. In fact, at level 76, the only thing that has taken aggro from me is an arms warrior, who was very irritatingly hovering around 110% threat the entire run.
Shifting forms with one button in 2.3 {WoW}
Sep 26th 2007 4:36AM That second macro still isn't going to work unless they remove the global cooldown from using potions...
Are they really removing the global cooldown from /cancelform ? I doubt this will make it into the final build. This would mean druids can instantly remove snares - something Blizzard has not wanted them to do in the past.
Gamers on the Street: Attunement changes {WoW}
Jun 25th 2007 10:54AM My story:
On Friday my GM said that we had to get attuned to The Eye by the following Thursday (that is, complete all heroic pre-quests by Wednesday, our scheduled Mag raid).
That night I did 1 heroic as healer, then respecced Feral to tank another. 2 down, 2 to go.
Saturday I hung around all day waiting for the right setup of people to come online, helping other guild mates get their revered with the right factions etc, and by midnight had managed to complete the last 2 heroics.
I /sighed and patted myself on the back for having the final Trial: Magtheridon.
Sunday night raid (SSC).
Monday night raid (Hydross server first kill).
Tuesday night raid (Gruul grind) - and then I find out that in 24 hrs the attunements are removed.
It hurts still!
Forum Post of the Day: WoW Artpad {WoW}
Jun 11th 2007 4:27PM @6 I think that the Orc Huntress was actually drawn by Caydiem, if my memory serves me correctly.
Oh, the good old days!
Breakfast topic: Worst corpse run {WoW}
Feb 28th 2007 8:27AM Ungoro Crater ... dying anywhere in the western side was a nightmare for corpse runs... especially with King Mosh ganking me all the time. Shudder!
Meet the new endgame, much harder than the old {WoW}
Feb 27th 2007 3:57PM I think a lot of you are forgetting how hard the old 5 man dungeons were 2 years ago.
Scholo and Strat had to get a huge makeover before they were like they are now. I remember going into Scholo for 6 hours over two nights just to clear it (1 day do jandice and get the key from rattlegore, next day finish up).
No, it wasn't because we were noobs. We were good friends playing together with PVE specs and sometimes using ventrilo. What was the problem then? Well, they were just much harder. Most of the mobs did much more damage, and the groups were so close together and pure chance could ruin your run. The Rattlegore room was completely changed, as were the mini-bosses.
Completing Scholo that first time in 5 man was my first great achievement in the game. I was sad when it got nerfed, because it means that people could put in less dedication and still get the same rewards. I definitely like the scaling of heroic dungeons because it mirrors the same kind of difficulty.

As a boring old grown-up I sometimes have to remind myself that the projects I've seen and done with a zillion Brownie troops are still exciting for the kids. This is one of them. Something about creating your own little flag to wave during a picnic or parade is great fun!
Tip: Older children and adults can use sharpened pencils (and use them as pencils - the flag is a fun pencil topper), but young children should use an unsharpened pencil or straw so
that they don't accidentally use the pointy end of their flag as a weapon.

Lili Duda, VMD

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Can chemotherapy given to a dog with lymphoma cause any problems to a human female owner who is pregnant? I have heard there could be toxins in the body fluids of the dog during treatment that can cause harm to a baby? This sounds crazy to me. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, responds:
This is an excellent question, and is a legitimate concern. Every chemotherapy drug is metabolized and excreted differently, and therefore each poses a different risk. However, with simple basic precautions, the risk is minimal. As a rule of thumb, a pregnant woman should not directly handle oral chemotherapy medicine, vomitus, stools/diarrhea, or urine from an animal receiving chemotherapy. However, it is safe to live with, pet, cuddle and otherwise be around a dog receiving chemotherapy. If a pregnant person does accidentally come into contact with body fluids, simply wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Mar 6, 2015 - Although pregnancy may conceal breast cancer in younger women and lead to a delay in diagnosis, evaluation and treatment, pregnancy-associated breast cancers are not associated with a worse outcome compared to non-pregnancy-associated breast cancers, according to research published online Feb. 9 in Cancer.
