Lenders Are Opening Up Jumbo Loans to Consumers
Lenders aren't exactly giving jumbo loans away, but they're certainly making it easier for borrowers to snag one.
In an effort to pick up the pace of their loan growth, more banks are offering jumbo loans to borrowers who can make up for poorer credit scores and unproven income with other assets like investment accounts and stock grants.
Jumbo loans don't come cheap. They're "jumbo" because they exceed the conforming loan limit, which is the maximum loan size that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will purchase and/or guarantee. In most areas, this limit is $417,000 for a single-family home. In high-cost places like New York, the limit can start above $625,000.
How are lenders becoming more lenient?
In addition to giving candidates who don't meet all the requirements some leeway, lenders are also offering more attractive rates to entice consumers. Recent rates for a 30-year fixed jumbo loan have averaged 4.25 percent, 0.10 percent less than the average rate for a conventional 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. This is the first time in over 20 years that jumbo rates are equal to or cheaper than conventional rates! And last year, Wells Fargo and Bank of America made headlines by slashing the minimum down payment from 20 percent to 15 percent.

How To Stay On Top Of Your Student Loans
For most people, student loans represent their first encounter with the world of credit and finance. They can open a world of opportunity to young people who might otherwise not be able to pay to continue their education.

It's likely that this is where you'll begin to build your credit score: a little number with huge consequences. It can be intimidating, but there's really no reason to stress out. Staying in control of your student debt is easier than it sounds. When dealing with loans, you should:

Briana's Debt Consolidation Story
I got my first full time job in April 2010 as a Social Media Coordinator. Before that, I had been a broke college student surviving off credit cards, especially after I quit my part-time receptionist job to take care of my mom when she got sick.When I moved into my own place with my boyfriend (now husband), we were both making good money, but I was just paying the minimums on my cards month to month. It's not that it wasn't manageable, but I would've preferred to get out of debt sooner than later, and see some sort of light at the end of the tunnel.

The Pros and Cons of Borrowing from Your 401(k)
When it comes to finding money to take care of financial obligations these days, your options are even more limited than ever before. Thanks to the credit crunch, banks and other financial institutions have made it more difficult than ever to borrow money. Those that will lend will only do so to individuals with an excellent credit score and charge a premium for the privilege. Many people are caught in the crosshairs and simply don't qualify for a loan.

Cash, Loan, or Lease: Deciphering Car Talk
If life were like a car commercial, you'd walk into a dealership, point to the shiny new red sports car, and drive away. Sadly, life is not a car commercial. Buying a car includes deciding whether to take out a loan, sign up for a lease, or pay for your new vehicle with cash. All three options include details that you'll want to carefully weigh and consider.

Orthar says: Excuse me miss, can I ask you a question?
Ladyvira says: Die, mortal! Taste the awesome powers of my demonic heritage! Feel your soul writhe and burn under my touch! Die! DIE!!!
Orthar grasps his arm and winces in pain.
Orthar says: Ah! Who .... what are you?!
Ladyvira says: I am the daughter of Sargeras! I have come here to feed on your puny soul!
Orthar looks at Ladyvira with concern.
Orthar: Poor soul. You've obviously been touched by Darkness! Your taint may be too deeply embedded for my powers to cleanse. Never-the-less, by Uther's Light I must try!
Negates her claim to lvl 7 super uberness, actually lets her help decide whether or not to be 'redeemed' or to run, cackling in evilness, into the night. Heck, it could turn into a long and uber cool story about our dear Orthar trying to find Ladyvira a cure for her 'taint' all over Azeroth and Outlands, if the too players wanted to.
I agree with Average Joe. Heroes are rarely born, but are made. I made my little cow girl the daughter of traders, to help explain the wanderlust to explore all of the known world, but she's not rich, famous, the last of a legendary line.. I like her that way. She can now make her OWN way to fame and glory, not ride anyone's coattails.
SMU forever!

This attention to detail clearly proves that Blizz favors Alliance. Horde gets another sleazy Goblin and you get a fancy new boat? QQ, slap in the face, etc etc etc.
innajunglestylee said...
Your joke is resisted by SpaceDog.
Joke dies.
While I think your comment is being sarcastic, to anyone who actually WOULD have that comment, I'll just point to Muru being moved out of Silvermoon, an entire new event with the Lady Liadrin in Shattrath, and the most important change, the fact that Silvermoon has the Tauren Chieftans hanging out in it. So Horde has gotten to see 'advancing storylines' in their cities too. I think this is the first time Alliance has besides Onyxia. (And come on, the Thrall questline in Nagrand trumps Onyxia's entirely.)
innajunglestylee said...
All true, but I think Horde and Alliance can come together on one thing, and that is that Lady Liadrin really needs to pipe down now. We get it, servants of the light, exalted with SSO in one quest. But do you have to keep on about it every 10 minutes?
And yes, I was being silly. I'll likely be dragging an Alliance alt over to check this out when it goes live. I think it's great to see the content move forward organically like this for both factions. I just wish we really could raid and kill your construction workers and trap you forever in the Eastern Kingdoms while Horde takes over Northrend.

Venice is among the Sarasota County communities nestled along Florida's southwestern coast, the others being Sarasota, South Venice, Nokomis, Laurel, Osprey, Englewood and North Port.
It is situated along 14 miles of white sand beaches which lure sun worshipers, sea shell collectors, and searchers of the prehistoric shark teeth that earned Venice the tag of Shark's Tooth Capital of the World.
Thousands of visitors from all over the globe flock to Venice every August for the Shark's Tooth and Seafood Festival. But more than partaking in those fun events, they enjoy the waterways of Venice which offer recreational opportunities for swimming, wind surfing, fishing and boating. Venice real estate is popular with those buyers that are looking to get the most bang for their buck and still reside within close proximity to Sarasota. Prices for real estate in this city are generally 20% lower per square foot than comparable homes found just a few miles north in Sarasota.
Located at the heart of Venice is the Downtown Historic District, which combines the best of past and present while enjoying a modern outlook. Venice is certainly a city that continues to evolve, as more snowbirds flock to this city to take advantage of the real estate values here, the city has been keeping up the redevelopment pace in the older areas.
Venice is one of the few cities on Florida's west coast that is not separated from the Gulf by a barrier island so the drive to its fantastic beaches is much shorter than what you would experience in Sarasota. The original character of Venice has been preserved through the creation of the Historic Venice Architectural Review Board that ensure that new construction or modification of existing buildings conform to the northern Italian Renaissance style of the city's original architecture.
What is significantly striking about Venice, Florida is its Mediterranean Mayberry-like appeal. Parks dot almost the entirety of Venice and various parades are commonly being held around the city. The slower pace here is very appealing to many retirees that do not appreciate the pomp and circumstance of Sarasota.
Summertime in Venice marks the holding of crafts festivals and weddings at the snow-white gazebo of Centennial Park, while wintertime sees carolers roaming the columned archways of the Italian Renaissance-style shops in the Main Street district spreading holiday cheer.
Whether you are looking for a perfect place to relax or a paradise-like enclave to call home, Venice, Florida offers just about everything to suit every home-buyer's taste.
Check out these great Venice Florida homes for sale in the following communities and find out why settling in this city on the southwestern coast of Florida is one of the best choices you will ever make.

A premier gated country club conveniently located off Center Road near Jacaranda, Venice Golf and Country Club is a private club that boasts of, among others, a championship 18-hole golf course, tennis, fitness center and an excellent restaurant.

The community also has an active master association, whose primary function is to monitor the conditions of the numerous lakes and ponds, as well as the environmental preserves located on the property.
Maintenance-free homes at the Venice Golf and Country Club start in the mid-$300,000 range, while larger homes outside of the maintenance-free areas is available from $400,000 to over $700,000.
Pelican Pointe Golf and Country Club

Playing on one of southwest Florida's finest golf courses guarantees utmost relaxation as you get to enjoy the greens amid majestic live oaks, meandering streams, protected wildlife preserves and wetlands.

I own these in every color. I sometimes use these as a base for my eyeshadow or as cream eyeshadows. They are long lasting. Will def but again in the future.
More reviews by TheHipsterlicious
My favorite look is red lipstick and winged liner, so I use this eyeliner almost everyday. I've tried many methods, and for me cream liner and an angle brush is the way to go. The ELF liner is very long lasting. (even after using water and soap its still mostly there). I haven't tried it on my waterline, so I don't know if it works for that. I've had my pot for several months and I haven't really noticed it drying out. The texture is not super creamy like the maybelline 24hr eye studio whatever; its a bit more solid.
It is definitely creamier than Mac's fluid liner but I like it like that. I use this eyeliner to tight line and it does not disappoint. At $3 you can't go wrong. I bought it on sale so it was like $1.50 - such a good value!
More reviews by Venenumletalis
This liner is simply great. I've gone through 5 or 6 jars already, and it is my favorite among the drugstore brands. For just $3 you get a good amount of liner in a nice little jar, and I even like the brush it comes with. ELF's liner is very creamy and easy to apply, and has pretty good pigmentation. I've tried it in black, purple and blue- black and purple are my absolute favorites. Purple looks gorgeous on hazel eyes.
What I love the most about this liner is that it lasts all day or night without smudging, flaking or transferring to your eyelid. I've worn it in cold, heat, humidity- no issues ever. For comparison- Maybelline's gel eyeliner doesn't perform nearly as good leaving me with smudges and faded color. If you ever wonder which one to get- go for ELF.
The only thing to look out for is making sure you get a fresh pot of this eyeliner- check before you leave the store, because once I got a pretty dry product and it didn't work so well. Fresh product adheres to the jar on all sides and is soft and creamy (should not have any sort of cracks).
Great product, great value. I highly recommend it.
I had high hopes for this because all of the great reviews and first impressions on this. I wanted to love it but it just didn't work for me. Pros: it is very creamy, dries fast, and it is very pigmented (I bought black). Cons: after an hour the eyeliner cracks and flakes off, my eyelids are oily so it smudges, doesn't last long. I had no use for it anymore and didn't want to throw it away so i sometimes dip a tiny bit with my angles brush and with a light hand, line the bottom of my eyebrows then use a eyebrow brush to blend it. Makes my brows nice and defined.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Woah maybe I got duds. I'm reading all of these reviews, and it seems like everyone is saying that theirs was too creamy. Mine was just the opposite. When I got it, it was so dried out that the entire product came out in one piece. I emailed ELF, and the sent me another. SAME THING.
Not wanting to waste it, and willing to pull some magical DIY experiment, I mashed it up into crumbly bits (it was that dry, yes). Then added eyedrops. Then microwaved it. It was kind of workable. I tried adding a little bit of vaseline (which I realize now is a big no-no, but I was in experiment mode). It worked, but then I had the problem everyone is describing here. It wouldn't stay put. So I had to set it with primer underneath and eyeshadow on top.
I was super bummed but the plum purple is a lovely deep purple, but dang... too. much. work.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I didn't expect much from a "cheap" brand but I decided to give this liner a try. I works well enough on my lid.. I tried it with MAC painterly paint pot and it stays on day. for girls on a budget or want to sqeeze a nickel I would say try this. I use it regulary
I've used this liner and it smears and makes eyes look like panda eyes, smears on bottom too after 30 min...no likey
The best cream eyeliner of all time. And for $3? Can't get any better than that
More reviews by eyelinerismywarpaint
I have this product in copper, black, and midnight. I've already reviewed copper on its page here on MakeupAlley, but I couldn't find a page for the other two.
In general, this eyeliner is amazing. The texture is wonderfully creamy, and I received very pigmented eyeliners. There is no noticeable scent. As we know, E.L.F. can be hit-or-miss; some people receive "duds".
Let me give an example--if I wear this eyeliner, shower, and go to sleep, the next morning, it's still perfectly applied. Okay, there is a bit of smudging, but that's only to be expected, and it could be much worse.
I highly, highly recommend this product--it's long-wearing and looks amazing, and it's easy to apply.

Children's Author Calvin A. Ramsey Surprises MLK Staff
Published on Monday, February 17, 2014 - 9:21am
An award-winning children's author, Calvin A. Ramsey, surprised staff in the Children's Room at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library when he stopped in on Jan. 27.
His books Belle, The Last Mule at Gee's Bend: A Civil Rights Story and Ruth and the Green Book are Black History Month favorites.
Based on a true account that occurred in 1968, Belle, the Last Mule at Gee's Bend is about a determined Southern community of ordinary folks and the mules that pulled the casket of slain civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through Atlanta during his funeral procession.
Ramsey told our staff that hearing a first-hand account from Rev. James E. Orange, who walked directly behind Dr. King's casket in the funeral procession, inspired him to write Belle.
Another book by Ramsey, Ruth and the Green Book tells the story of a young girl and her family who journey by car from Chicago to Alabama in the 1950's. The Negro Motorist Green Book, a tool that helped African Americans find safe accommodations in the segregated South, aids Ruth's family on their trip.
As part of recent program, children were introduced to the history of segregation through the story of Ruth and the Green Book. Last week, the Smithsonian Institution and DC Public Library presented "Mission: Preservation," which showed kids how preserve family oral histories and objects by using primary resources.

We're working with CERN at the moment, and on a recent trip over to Geneva we had the opportunity to spend some time with their search department.
While we were chatting we got onto the subject of semantics. They have a lot of very old content spread across the CERN domain, from obscure personal pages put together by staff in a text editor to full blown content managed sites that support the experiments.
At a markup level across the varying sites, the depth of semanticity is so diverse, making any sense of it for search is a Herculean task. On top of that, meta within the pages is poorly used, sometimes representing content that doesn't even exist within that page, making the lives of the poor machines crawling all that content pretty darn miserable.
We're encouraged to write markup as semantically as possible to help machines get around this problem. We aim to provide better context by wrapping our content in more meaningful containers that certainly help us make more sense of it (if it's done well) and, yes it helps promote good use of standards, but it got me thinking, just how useful that markup is for machines given that idiot humans are the one's making it. Machines like order, and although we strive for it, there's too much opportunity for mistakes to happen or abuse. Microformats are a great addition to the semantic web, but again they're subject to the same issues.
Regardless of both, for both legacy content and more modern content written with (intentionally) great semantics - we still have the problem of how to understand that content better so we can do more with it. And for that, we now have search. When all else fails, a broader picture tends to provide a more rounded view of things. Particularly when the specifics you have are prone to so much error. Even with incredible tools like Lucene running internally - better, more relevant results and meaning come from external search engines like Google or Bing.
Search engines figured out long ago that meta data, keywords and suchlike were horrible ways to categorise the web. Disambiguation aside, the system was prone to gaming and abuse so they canned it, looking instead to perceivably relevant content, relationships, reference and recommendation (through inbound links) etc. All of which suddenly starting sounding very familiar when you compare them to how we intend semantic markup to be used.
So I'm slightly confused. It's certainly not news that this is the way things are. But with the context of a problem like CERN's and extrapolating that across the web, I'm starting to question just how valuable semantics really are when search is getting so good.
It'd be great to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Did i just eat that??
July 15, 2010
What should i do post eating an unhealthy meal or 3 to curb its effects on my brain and body?
In the recent weeks, i've been eating better in attempts to become as fit as possible. I've been watching and consuming a comfortable and proper level of fat (saturated, unsaturated), proteins, carbs, sugar, etc.
My meals for the most part have been "square" - in the sense when i am forced to eat out im eating the healthiest and most appealing item on the menu.
Likewise im exercising regularly during the week 4-5x with p90x and a HIT program ive mixed together with past crossfit experience.
This week, i will have a few instances where an unhealthy meal or 3 is unavoidable - such as indian food for a client lunch (today), upcoming bachelor party where drinking and all sorts of random food will be involved, dinners with old friends at a pizza place, etc.
I feel like im letting myself down by slacking on my diet during these moments. Likewise, going to the gym to "work off" the excess crap i just ate is difficult from a timing perspective also i dont want to be in a situation where im always thinking i need to burn off what i just ate.
What are some things i can do during these moments AFTER a meal to ease my self consciousness about what i just ate? Likewise is there anything i can do (aside from binging or something dumb) to curb the results of just eating poorly?
(I'm male, 27)

Drink a lot of water, make sure you get some exercise that day (it doesn't need to be right after the meal) and try not to wallow too much in the guilt.

There are plenty of ways you can eat and drink more responsibly when you're out. Don't eat fried foods; eat fewer carbs; all that. If you're having Indian food, skip the rice and the naan. If you're at a bachelor party, have vodka and juice or gin and diet tonic water, and pace yourself with more water.
On the flip side, having a "free day" can actually help your diet/workout plans because you don't feel so deprived. If eating more healthfully becomes a regular part of your life, you may soon find that your free days look more and more like your non-free days.
Why should you have certain moments of so-called weakness? YOU'RE IN CONTROL. If you don't want to eat unhealthy things, don't eat unhealthy things. If you want to eat something that's not in your plan, do it, but just get right back in there. Nobody's going to get on your ass for wanting to be healthy.

Eat in the bad stuff in small quantities.
Forgive yourself. Instead of harping on them, realize they're just temporary speedbumps and keep on moving past them.

Portion control is key, I think. If you're going to be at a party and drinking, try to avoid beer and wine. Gin and tonics, diet coke and rum, etc. That will be a big one! For snacks and "bad food," watch how much you consume. It's easy to down 2 or 3 slices of pizza, but if you stick to one slice you're doing much less harm while still enjoying the food and being social. If you're at a pizza place, get a slice and a side salad to fill you up. Try and order thin crust pizzas, and get lots of veggies on top!
Or, if you're afraid you'll end up binging on junk food because of a dearth of healthy alternatives at the party, consider bringing a snack for yourself. Pack a baggie of raw almonds to snack on (when no one's looking? haha) and you'll be less hungry when 5 pizzas are placed in front of you.
If you know the basics of what is healthy and what you've already had that day, you can make most meals decent. If you're having Indian for lunch, try just avoiding the rice and breads. Dishes like chicken curry have oils and salts and etc in it, but calorically you're doing much less damage if you don't pad your stomach with carbs. Eat lots of veggies there! Avoid the fried balls of honey :)

Try to make the best choices that you can from the options that you find yourself presented with (tandoori chicken at the Indian place, things that don't consist of sugar rolled in fat and deep-fried at the bachelor party, maybe try for a whole-wheat thin-crust veggie lovers' pizza at the pizza place), but don't worry that the odd crazy week will derail your entire diet. If you eat way too many calories at dinner, maybe reduce some of the calories from your next couple meals if you feel all gross and bloated, but don't freak out too hard about eating some extra carbs.
And don't exercise more if it isn't in your training plan -- your training plan is built the way it is for a reason, and you won't get any benefit from training when you're supposed to be resting. (Plus, the concept of "needing to burn off what you just ate" by exercising is a symptom of disordered eating -- you might want to read up on "exercise bulimia". These sorts of habits are easy to fall into but difficult to shake, and can be quite dangerous if allowed to persist.)
You're probably getting your body into better shape to make your life more enjoyable; the idea isn't to subjugate your entire existence to the pursuit of the perfect six-pack (and if it is, you might want to re-evaluate your priorities).

You may also want to consider a fiber supplement shortly after eating (something like a teaspoon of metamucil or other bulk producing fiber) to speed those foods through the system. Less time in the digestive tract may not save you lots of calories, but it will make you feel better.
Oh, and go for smooth cut fiber, and it is not quite so nasty.

You can't avoid eating junk food sometimes. Who would want to? Depriving yourself 100% of the time sucks, and in the long run discourages you from eating right.
As a former Big Fat Guy™, here is what I do, and so far I have dropped about 100 lbs:
1) Portion control - Pizza was always the worst for me. Tastes great, but not filling. So I would eat half a pie. Now, I try to get something healthy to start, and then finish with just a slice or 2 of pizza. Most pizza places offer salads, so get the best one possible, eat that, then do a small portion of pizza. You still get the indulgence, but in a controlled way. Plus, you ate something healthy to counter act that.
The thing that really helped me with this is the bags of fresh ready to eat broccoli and cauliflower. 12 ounces = 4 cups = 100 calories = very filling. I eat one of those almost daily, with a serving (2 Tbs) of low cal ranch. This helps control my hunger.
2) Limit the indulgences. If I eat unhealthy for lunch, I plan to eat extra healthy for dinner. Similarly, if I am planning a big dinner, I do a lighter lunch. If I eat bad one day, eat extra good the next. I think of it like a budget - I can spend those calories, but I need to save some elsewhere.
3) Lastly, stick with it. I can't tell you how many times I have tried losing weight, gotten sidetracked with a bad week where I didn't lose anything (or gained some), and then I quit. The big difference this time is that I have stuck with it. If you have a bad week, just pick it up and keep at it. Don't beat yourself up, just let it pass and get back on the horse.
Good luck, I'm rooting for you.

Side note: You can eat a relatively non-fattening meal at an Indian restaurant. You just need to avoid the worst offenders, and limit yourself to reasonable portions. I'd recommend an order of tandoori chicken (being ubiquitous, relatively lean, and not covered in sauce), a non-saucy vegetable (potato and cauliflower might be good - heavier on the cauliflower), and maybe a 1/2 cup to 1 cup of rice.
"Portion Control" can help you take even the most ridiculous meals, and make them manageable from a diet perspective.
And, remember, you never fail in a diet unless you quit. If you eat this stuff today, just get beck to eating the way you want to be tomorrow.

Don't categorize food as "bad" and "good" in moral terms. Think of it like the fuel it is.
You should never feel you've let yourself down because you've eaten something calorie-heavy and nutrition-poor. You can be a great person even if you eat nothing but pizza for the rest of your life. You're not changing your eating habits to improve yourself morally (or if you are, it ain't going to work), you're changing your eating habits to improve yourself physically--to help your body run better by providing it with higher quality fuel. Pizza isn't evil, it's just kind of an inefficient way to fuel yourself, because it doesn't give your body the things it needs.
Some people like to characterize junk food as a "splurge." But it's the opposite! It's like needing a pair of glasses and going to thrift store and buying a pair of $0.10 1970s frames with one lens missing and the other scratched, and calling that a splurge! Please--you're the victim of that shitty pair of glasses. That bachelor party food is something you're willing to eat because it's important for you to be at the party. You're going to put up with it. But then you get to go home and put on the custom-made prescription frames that were tailored to your personal needs. There's nothing to regret, and certainly nothing to feel guilty about, just healthy food to look forward to.
(Also, please be careful about characterizing working out as "burning off food I ate." Eating food is what makes it possible for you to work out, not the other way around, and disordered eating--like
exercise bulimia
--can develop from viewing exercise as a way to negate your calorie intake.)

I noticed that you don't mention how a big unhealthy meal makes you feel
- do certain foods make you feel sleepy, overstuffed, queasy? And so on. If you can tune in to food's immediate effects on your body, you'll start to get a better sense of what, and how much, you genuinely want to eat. (This helps with exercise, too: if you discover that a hard workout makes you feel relaxed or less anxious, you'll look forward to it more.)
At the same time, stop dividing foods into "good" and "bad," and stop judging yourself based on what you eat. Forgive yourself, and don't forbid junky foods or punish yourself for eating them. Don't conflate that stuffed feeling after a buffet with failure - it's not. If I could give you a step-by-step guide to how to separate food from self-judgment, I would. If you can't learn to do it on your own, therapy can help.
You can either view yourself as lacking, and treat diet and exercise as necessary evils to get you closer to some arbitrary standard - or you can view yourself as strong and happy and constantly improving through the choices you continue to make. I can tell you from experience that the latter is more effective and pleasant.

If possible, take a nice post-meal stroll. I find there is a bigger difference between being completely sedentary and having a walk, than between walking and hitting the gym.

Nthing the 'free day' and portion control.
As someone who has trouble controlling portion sizes, I vote for a nice post-meal stroll. Make sure it's at least a 45-60 minute stroll. (There's some medical research that shows that length of stroll is just right to keep your blood chemistry in check after hi-sugar meals).

Use a calorie counting system and relax a bit. You will feel less guilty if you realize just how much more than your neutral daily caloric intake you have to eat to gain one pound (Roughly three and a half thin crust frozen pizzas)
I dropped 50lbs in the past year and I think a key feature is that I didn't stress out over it. I decided to change the way I was going to live the rest of my life. I exercise regularly but not fanatically. I count my calories but not obsessively. I take some days off when I can't be bothered. I still eat junk and desserts when I want to but if I do I don't get to eat much else. I also limited the amount of change I imposed at once. I exercised for quite a while before dieting. I dieted for quite a while before I started running. Etc... Really I made sure one thing became a habit before focusing my willpower on the next thing because I only have so much willpower and i didn't want to spread myself too thin.
(I say this having just had Fried Chicken for dinner.)

Trick-or-Treating safety tips
WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WWLP) – It's almost time to go Trick-or-Treating and have some good holiday fun and treats. But it's also important to stay safe.
22News is working for you with some safety tips to make your Halloween Spooktacular.
Some people have already started dressing up for Halloween parties and candy collecting at early Halloween events. Others are getting ready for Thursday.
But whenever you decide to go out, it's important to stay safe. According to the Massachusetts Public Health Blog it starts with costumes. Children should carry flashlights and their costumes should be light colored or have reflective tape. To avoid falls, costumes should not have trailing material or tails that drag on the ground. And if your ghoul or goblin has a pointed prop, such as a sword, they should be made of a soft material.
Next is what many children look forward to the most, the candy. Adults should always accompany children under 12, and if you can take them out before dusk. For older children have them stay in a group and discuss a time when they should be home. Be careful even when using sidewalks and crosswalks because many children have been struck by cars on Halloween. Only approach houses that are well-lit and never go inside a strangers home. And before letting your child eat a single treat make sure you check their bags first, it's especially important for kids with food allergies. Throw out anything that looks unwrapped or tampered with, and be alert even when your child is eating those treats.
The Amherst public school system has a ban starting tomorrow on peanuts. So any peanut treats will not be able to be brought to school there. If you are looking for more Halloween Safety Tips, click here.

Did you know that pregnant women have been fired for using the bathroom to vomit, needing to carry a water bottle on the job, or asking to sit on a stool instead of standing in place all day? While employers have to make allowances like these for other types of temporary disabilities, a number of bad court decisions have encouraged them to feel they can get away with firing or mistreating pregnant workers with impunity.
It's disgraceful and unacceptable that at a time when unnecessary budget cuts are decimating food, medical, and educational supports for low-income families, pregnant women continue to be pushed out of their jobs just as they take on all the expenses of having a new baby.

Financial Stability: The Next Frontier for Canadian Monetary Policy
AbstractThe monetary policy arrangement in Canada has proven very successful. Despite many and varied economic shocks, the Bank of Canada has established the necessary conditions under which the annual rate of inflation, as measured by the rate of change of the Consumer Price Index, has remained very close to its formal 2 percent target for more than 15 years. The recent financial crisis, however, has highlighted the fact that low inflation may not be enough to ensure the stability of the financial system and the economy in general. The goal of achieving and maintaining financial stability has become, in Canada and elsewhere, the next frontier of monetary policy. What is needed is a new Canadian institutional framework to oversee macro-prudential regulation, which would take a systemic approach to safeguarding the financial system as a whole, and clearly define the role of the Bank of Canada within it. It will require the federal government, first, to recognize the importance of the issue and, second, to take the necessary time to assemble the framework with the appropriate parties involved and to assign responsibilities clearly. Doing it right will involve bringing together various policy authorities with different perspectives, specialties, and primary mandates.

The impact of hurricanes on housing prices: evidence from U.S. coastal cities
AbstractWe investigate the effect of hurricane strikes on housing prices in U.S. coastal cities. To this end, we construct a new index of hurricane destruction which varies over time and space. Using this index and an annual, two equation, dynamic equilibrium correction panel model with area and time fixed effects, we model the effects of hurricanes on real house process and real incomes. In our model hurricanes have a direct effect on house prices and an indirect effect via a fall in local incomes. Our results show that the typical hurricane strike raises real house prices for a number of years, with a maximum effect of between 3 % to 4 % three years after occurrence. There is also a small negative effect on real incomes. These results are stable across models and subsamples.

Editors' reviewThis screensaver is a typical fish-tank simulation. Its settings let you control almost everything that happens on your screen. Goldfish Aquarium can play the water audio all the time or occasionally, switch screen resolutions, and adjust when it gets triggered. The trial version shows only one fish, which looks lonely. We noted some stability and display issues in our testing. Fish fans might give this a try.
Publisher's Description
Building and improving upon the technology first demonstrated in Marine Aquarium, Goldfish Aquarium demonstrates the latest look and capabilities of your computer. This screensaver features four types of goldfish (Cali, Algernon, Oreo, and Ginger), dynamic backgrounds, realistic fish movement, and amazing animation.
This latest update introduces a new addition to the family, Monstro, along with refined movement of the plant life, improved lighting and hues, and improved models of the aquarium's flora and fauna.

"Hey WWE I'm not trying to be rude but the crowd seems to really want Daniel Bryan. Juuuuuuust MAFAKIN Saying!! Geez. Sadly WWE is still run by 'Muscle Marks.' It is what it is folks."
- Shane Helms on backstage politics in WWE
"You're not allowed to get over in WWE unless they want you to. If you do, you can and will be punished. Has happened to many over the years."
- Armando Estrada on backstage politics in WWE
There are many people within WWE that are impressed with Zack Ryder for how he has handled himself as a professional, despite being essentially buried by the company. He still shows up to work with enthusiasm, and he genuinely seems to enjoy his job.
The belief is that Big E Langston has a really safe position within WWE because of his real life relationship with John Cena. Many feel that management will give him a decent push in order to appease the World Heavyweight Champion.
There are those within WWE that feel that Daniel Bryan should be demoted back down to the mid card division.
As his powers within WWE grow, Road Dogg has now been backstage at both Monday Night Raw and Smackdown on a weekly basis.
"That is another reason I'm pretty sure I won't be returning there any time soon. Hunter was pretty obviously jealous of certain individuals. I'm not saying he was jealous of me. I could tell he was envious of (Rob) Van Dam. He was extremely envious of Rob's success. He was jealous of Van Dam's personality. He was jealous that people gravitated towards Rob, because people liked being around Rob because he was very positive. The most glaring was the work rate. Hunter has had the same matches his whole career. If the guy is so damn tough, why does he need a sledgehammer. How do you justify this guying be a bad ass if he always has a weapon. Hunter is like that nerd that throws out a joke expecting the room to start laughing and ends up laughing at his own joke."
"Chris was dark, he was extremely dark. We used to have a joke that Chris was tri-polar, because it was a step up from bi-polarity. He would flip sometimes. I think a combination of Chris' background of with steroids, mixed with the partying, is a recipe for disaster. One of them is a recipe for disaster. Its literally taking Drano and pouring it on your hard drive. See what that does for your computer."

Trinh-Duc delighted to be back in France contention
France's rugby union national team player Francois Trinh-Duc is seen during an indoor training session on March 5, 2013 in Marcoussis, south of Paris - by Lionel Bonaventure
An injury to current first choice No.10 Remi Tales meant a space opened up in the extended 30-man France squad and coach Philippe Saint-Andre turned to the most experienced pure fly-half he has in 27-year-old Trinh-Duc.
"It's going to be hard to wipe (the smile) off my face," said Trinh-Duc when he met the media following his call-up.
"This is very, very good for my head."
Trinh-Duc got his international break under Saint-Andre's predecessor Marc Lievremont in 2008 and was largely first choice until the 2011 World Cup where he slipped down the order but nevertheless played outstandingly when he came on as a replacement in the final with the All Blacks when Morgan Parra was injured.
Under Saint-Andre he barely had a look in last year, enduring a frustrating 2013 Six Nations, in which he started just one match, against England, and even then lasted only until 12 minutes into the second half, and found himself left out of the touring party to New Zealand in June.
He did not even earn a recall for the November internationals.
Saint-Andre's reluctance to trust Trinh-Duc has left many commentators and experts perplexed, not least England's World Cup winning coach Clive Woodward, and ex-England centre Jermey Guscott, both now working as television pundits and both confirmed admirers of the man they describe as by far France's best fly-half.
Yet when the original 30-man party was announced for the training camps ahead of Saturday's Six Nations opener against England at the Stade de France, Trinh-Duc's name was noticeable by its absence.
Tales was picked alongside Toulon's versatile but inconsistent half-back Frederic Michalak, more often used as a scrum-half throughout his career, and 22-year-old Stade Francais starlet Jules Plisson.
But this second lease of life in a France jersey seems to have motivated Trinh-Duc, who has 48 caps to his name.
"I'm coming back just like for my first selection, with a lot of 'punch', desire, joy and hunger," said the Montpellier player.
"It's true that it's been a long time. I've been dedicated, I've worked hard. It's been tough but I didn't give up, my aim was always to get back in the French team.
"Now it's almost done. But I'm not here to take revenge against anyone."
Trinh-Duc was criticised for defensive mistakes, his tactical kicking game and his application within the group during the last Six Nations, but he insists he's been working on improving ever since.
"I always kept contact (with the France set-up) to have a core of work, of objectives," said Trinh-Duc.
"I kept training, I did some extra while thinking of France.
"I've been working on my kicking game with someone in particular, that's brought me a lot.
"It's mostly a different approach, I'm taking pleasure in doing extra work after training."

Works on Sarcoids
posted 5 years ago
I bought this last year after the surgery on my fosters leg did not work. The Vet recommended trying it, so I found it online. It came in the smallest jar ever. I have since tried to find it online again and cannot. I have another foster who has warts on him face and I am going to try the exxterra on him.
Pros: That is works so well, with little amount, is great
Cons: very expensive
