Sheriff Dupnik is becoming even more of a joke by the day as he continues to exploit this crime for his own political ambitions. He seems to be just like the hard left Democrats in Washington who are willing to put their agendas in front of everything else no matter who they hurt in the process. And in this particular interview he seeks to harm Sarah Palin and Sharron Angle by connecting them to this crime:
When you have people like Sharron Angle in Las Vegas running against Harry Reid making outrageous statements such as 'we may need to resort to taking the second amendment into certain cases', and for people like Sarah Palin to say 'we have people like Gabby Giffords in our cross hairs', I think those statements are totally irresponsible and they're not without consequences and I think we may be seeing the fruit of it here.
This is really outrageous and I hope that Sarah Palin and Sharron Angle sue Sheriff Dupnik for slander because his comments are completely and utterly irresponsible.

By the time it ended, the 2009 cannon-armed Forcier added three more offers.
"Oregon just offered me and I got offered by Penn State," said Forcier. That came only days after new Auburn offensive coordinator Tony Franklin offered Forcier a scholarship.
The offers from the three bowl-bound schools join offers Forcier had previously received from Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona and Stanford.
Forcier finished the 2007 season leading San Diego in all-purpose yards and was a First Team all-League pick and all-San Diego County selection.
He rushed for 733 yards on 66 attempts and had six touchdowns. He passed for 2,387 yards and 21 touchdowns with only five picks, for a 77% passer rating (164-for-213), which led San Diego County. Scripps Ranch played a scheduled that included state runner-up Corona Centennial, state champion Oceanside, and San Diego Section champions Poway and Cathedral Catholic.
Forcier has been invited to the U.S. Army Combine in San Antonio.
The youngest Forcier, Tate's older brothers are both playing in the Pac-10, Jason at Stanford and Chris at UCLA.

After today's closed-door Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on the torture tapes, Chairman John Rockefeller (D-WV) called the 90-minute session with CIA Director Michael Hayden "'a useful and not yet complete hearing' and vowed the committee would get to the bottom of the matter. Among lingering questions: who authorized destruction of the tapes, and why Congress wasn't told about it."
Rockefeller on tapes hearing: 'Useful' but not complete.

One of the most recent additions to Branson's fast food offerings, Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers serves some of the best diner-style food to be found in the area.
As you enter the doors to the restaurant (or visit the drive-thru) you will find one-of-a-kind steakburgers, shakes, frozen custard, shoestring fries, and some of America's favorite foods – all inside Freddy's… where hard work and integrity take center stage with every meal!
Freddy's is located on the north side of Branson in the Branson Hills Plaza area, sitting in front of the Walmart Supercenter at the stoplight intersection.
My family and I live near Branson and go there weekly. We love Freddy's and usually plan the day around our Freddy's burger stop. The place is always clean, well staffed, kid friendly, and quick. I highly recommend the chili cheese fries!!!
I visited the Branson Freddy's Frozen Custard last week and was pleasantly surprised. The burger was delicious and the fries tasty! I especially liked the new creamy condiment with the fries. Service was more than speedy which was great as I was starving! Walked out of Freddy's with a big smile on my face! I will return to Freddy's for sure!

Job Hunting, It Defeats Me
July 18, 2012
I really need to find a better job, but I don't know where to start. How do I even figure out what job to look for? It's pretty clear that there is no promotion path for me whatsoever in my current job, and there are rumblings that my entire department is about to get transferred to someplace where I don't want to be. The only reasons I'm still here are inertia, fear of the terrible job market, and the fact that self-promotion makes me queasy.
I've been a full-time employee here for eight years, after having been a contractor for a few years before that. Management rotates every nine months or so, so I never get a manager who'd be willing to go to bat for me.
My general pattern with work has been to come in well below my competency level as a contractor and then pick up extra job duties as I go until (a) I am buried under a pile of random tasks nobody else knows what to do with and (b) I'm officially placed about two levels below the payscale of the job I'm actually doing. On the positive side, everybody knows I know everything, and if a roadblock issue comes up I can generally figure out how to fix it, get it to the right people to fix it, or come up with a plausible workaround. On the negative side, all of that stuff distracts from the job metrics I actually get measured on. Also, the credit for that comes in the form of co-workers having faith in me, not any kind of credit getting passed up to management. At my current job, I regularly see my managers getting praise for things I got done that I'm not even sure they knew about during the actual crisis.
The whole job hunt thing just defeats me because all of the advice starts with "tailor your resume for the job you want" and I don't don't even know what job I want. Or, rather, I kind of suspect I need to look at other careers, and I don't have the first notion what I can do that matches up with actual work that exists.
I'm not a coder, but I can hand-compose HTML and CSS and I can at least read PHP/JavaScript/etc. and make educated guesses about what's going on and what needs to be fixed. I'm not a trainer, but I've done departmental level training and I do a lot of one-off help when co-workers struggle with our systems. I'm not a manager, but I've helped out people in neighboring departments when their managers are nowhere to be found. I'm not a writer, but I know how to write documentation other people can actually use, and I've maintained procedures documentation a number of times. I actually have been a departmental secretary (the largest department I did that for was fifty people, but five to ten is more normal) and I was good at juggling schedules and making everything run smoothly, it's just not challenging enough to be interesting between crises. I am perfectly capable of doing telephone support, and I can be as patient and cheerful as needed; I just hate it. The only thing worse than having to talk to random strangers at random intervals is being made to cold call strangers.
My favorite temp jobs were the ones where I came in to a disaster and left smoothly running clockwork when I was done. Maintaining the clockwork doesn't really interest me, but I really like solving problems.
I know I'm not happy and I strongly suspect that I can do better than this, but I don't even know where to start figuring out where to start.

this is kind of the go-to, default answer, but finding a good therapist, or perhaps a life coach, would be a good start. this sounds like long-term pattern behavior, which people don't tend to just snap out of after getting some good advice. there are also private and public career counseling centers that might be useful.

Have you looked into becoming a technical manager/producer? That would use both your management and coding skills. For example, on the web team I primarily work with, the head engineer tends to be the primary point of contact until late stages of development. Really, she doesn't have the time to deal with the coordination. Someone like you who has the time and bandwidth to understand client requirements and also knows the tech team's requirements would be ideally situated to manage technical production. I know for a fact this is not a unique situation.

Taking a stab at this because I've changed careers a few times. My first ask metafilter question was also along the lines "
suggest a new job/career for me--nooooo idea what I want to do
" so I can empathize with you.
This is how I went about finding a new job/career last time, and I'm poor at self-promotion, so extrapolate what you can use from this (as always, YMMV):
• Brainstorm a few possibilities based on interests/skills (its sounds like you have already ...I'll suggest trainer and technical writer based on some of what you said, but there may be more interests that you have, too, or other skill sets). You may want to consider this as another ask meta a week from now if you give us more details.
• Make a list of really important criteria that you want in your ideal job and that are also things that you don't want to do. It may be things like salary, little training/no new requirements for schooling, where you live. On your things you don't want to do, it can my no phone support or little phone support. Make your list and pick a few important things plus deal breakers.
• Now find people with the job titles of your potential careers. Some places that you can look are linkedin, your former college if they shares lists of professionals in the field, or you can even email people who you find who have your desired job titles. Do an info interview with them but the goal is to truly find out 1) would you even want to do it? Does it hit things on your list? 2) can someone with your background move in there with minimal background? 3) What would you need to do if you wanted to enter the field or are there related fields. Now I tend to be a bit of a coward and these are some of examples of how I found people, asked pple to do these, etc (i
). 4) Where do you find these jobs? Are there other job titles? etc.
Now the self-promotion part. To be honest, I don't really do self promotion IMO during interviews or job hunts. I do list things that I've done or am enthusiastic about (so you could list HTML/CSS if they ask about coding). However, what I've discovered along the way that works well for me ....Do research about the potential company and people. A lot. Do you find things that you are curious about and find fascinating? Do they fit in with your background? When you go the interview, ask questions about those things that you are interested in. So what I've found is that enthusiasm/passion that you have for something can bubble through and give the other person/potential hiring person a positive association with you. If you find things that you are passionate about and are asking questions, do mention if you have similar experience or are interested in doing those things. Also, OP, it sounds like you have coworkers who can speak to this. Put one or two of those people down as references, so they will speak positively about you.
From reading your description of yourself ...several years at one job, problem solving - I think that you have potential. Because you have a job right now and you can wait until the right job comes along, find out what the appropriate salary would be for you in field X. Hold out or negotiate for the salary if the job is offered to you (I would guess you are not negotiating from the "doing the job/2 pay scales below"). Or come back when you get call back for interviews and find out how to negotiate this.
inertia, fear of the terrible job market
One more comment here - lots of people have this and end up in analysis paralysis with no movement for years. Even if it is a terrible job market, remember that the majority of people are employed. You also need one job, not 10. You don't sound happy so you have nothing to lose other than ....making things better.
Feel free to memail me if you have other questions or want another perspective as you do the job hunt. Good luck.

When they say tailor your resume to the job you want, they don't mean invent a job in your head to want, they mean, when you find one you're going to apply to, tailor your resume to it.
Start with going through job sites and looking to see what jobs are out there. IT hasn't taken the hit other industries and titles have, mostly because we're all still gurus and the muggles are afeared of us.
Challenge yourself to apply to one or two new jobs per day. Stretch your definition of what job you're qualified for. Typically I aim for about 80% figuring that the other 20% is an opportunity to learn something new.
Most employers don't expect you to know everything right off the bat, in fact, most employers think they are special snowflakes and that they'll have to train someone to understand their oh-so-special ways of doing things. Go in with the attitude that you're a problem solver and that what you don't know, you can research. Everyone's comfortable with that.
As for tooting your own horn, get over yourself. No one is asking you to brag. They want to you explain what you know and how you use it. When you're asked in an interview, "Tell me about a time when you saved the day," you'd better have an answer. And it's not bragging, it's informing!
You have a job, you're not desperate. Start by going to LinkedIn, Simply Hired, Career Builder and Monster. Do searches using your geography and specific skills. See what pops up.

This sounds a lot like my quarter-life career crisis. I have a degree in chemistry and was a chemist for about 5 years before I realized that I was never going to be able to get a job I actually wanted to do without getting a PhD and that I wasn't willing to go back to get a PhD. I floundered for awhile, trying to figure out what I actually wanted to do and what kinds of jobs I could actually get. I'm like you in that I get most of my job satisfaction from problem solving.
What parts of your job specifically do you enjoy the most? Managing a team, working with data, building things, etc? For me, I like analysis and room for growth is very important. So I just started looking for "analyst" jobs until I started getting calls from headhunters for marketing analyst jobs. When you start going on interviews, I would put "what would a typical day like for the person who fills this role?" on your list of questions to ask.
When you work on your resume, rethink your experience and the words you use to describe it. For example, at one of my chemist jobs I did a lot of work on the company website. I'm not a coder either, and would never think to mention it if I was applying for another job in the same field. But it was a huge bonus when I was applying/interviewing for marketing jobs. Also things that might be implied/understood in your current field may not be in the field that you end up aiming for. So in my example, instead of just mentioning data analysis and report writing, I talked about identifying trends and working with large data sets. Make prospective employers see how your experience applies - really spell it out for them.
I would also recommend adding an "objective" line on your resume to make it crystal clear that you are looking for job y and not another job in the same vein as job x.
Lastly, I do not recommend using a functional format or any other non-standard format (e.g. not chronological) for your resume. It's harder for hiring managers and HR to read and it looks like you're trying to hide something.

I'm a Digital Project Manager, in the advertising industry and this role engages literally all the skills you've mentioned. This role can also be called Digital Producer, Project Coordinator, etc. I've had experience with these roles in digital publishing (i.e. for a daily website) and marketing.
PMs are necessary in these industries because they require the coordination of complex pieces of work through multiple departments, clients, and vendors in very quick time spans to get things done. Key skills and work include:
* Managing schedules, budgets, vendors, and teams, needed to get work completed on-time, as promised, and within budget.
* Technical oversight, not actual coding, but the ability to understand requirements, work, assets throughout the project and give insight on whether they're correct, potential issues, and to know where to pull additional help from. i.e. The webpage has an issue, find an HTML developer.
Much of this is technical "translation" to many teams (such as Sales) that don't understand the abilities of technology, or perhaps developers that don't have an understanding of the business requirements.
* Strong communication, leading, and writing skills to rally many different levels of resources to bring projects to fruition. As PM, you don't have formal authority over staff, just over the work.
I find it rewarding, stimulating. While Project Management is a large industry, within the digital marketing space it's a bit of a niche, which is both good and bad when looking. Please feel free to MeMail me if you'd like to ask any questions.

Tax Benefits For Home Owners – Make the Most of Orange County Real Estate
As an Orange County Realtor, I can't technically offer advice on taxes, but I always try to network and meet great tax professionals who can help our clients! Today I sat in on a great session by Irene Mack, CPA, and I wanted to share some notes and insight with you. Irene's website is http://www.oc-cpa.com if you have any particular questions – she is always happy to talk taxes with you :)
Homeowner Tax Benefits
- Mortgage debt relief on up to 2 million loss ($1M if married / filing separate)
Will California extend our debt relief? The answer is still up in the air, but there is a bill on the table. This concerns many homeowners who are thinking about a short sale, so be sure to contact your legislators and let them know you want an extension!
Energy Tax Credits for Homeowners
- many have a $500 max lifetime credit
– some include on site installation costs, some don't, so be sure to check
– must be on principal residence
– includes central air
– allows tankless water heaters
– solar
– geothermal
– energy star
California Short Sale Tax Benefits
Sb931 focuses on 1st Trust Deed, and ensures lien holders can't come back to homeowners for deficiency judgement after the short sale.
Sb458 focuses on 2nd trust deeds, and this law came a little after sb931 to help homeowners steer clear of judgements from 2nd mortgages and HELOCs.
Equity Sale Tax Benefits
- No taxes on $500k profit for married couples
– No tax on $250k profit for single filers
Capital Gains Taxes
Will you be taxed if you sell for a profit? Yes, unless your profit is below the $500k/$250k mentioned above.
- Long term (1 year and one day+) is determined on your tax bracket
– It's best to keep your home 'long term' when it comes to taxation
First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit
- 2008 credit – when your home is no longer your personal residence, the balance of repayment becomes due immediately instead of over 15 years, so be careful!
-2009-2010 credit – 36 months of primary residence is required, most of you are almost ready to move up with no penalties ;)
Wow!! Taxes are confusing!!! Make sure to consider your tax benefits and / or penalties when you go to sell your home in Orange County. Irene's number is 714-957-6936 if you'd like more info.

Mission Viejo Real Estate Statistics – Time to build that portfolio!
Mission Viejo Real Estate is selling like no other! Homes come on the market and are off just like that. Here are some of the stats for Mission Viejo Real Estate, but 1st I will allow you to view the meanings of each before anyone is confused as to what each stand for…
- Active - indicates the property is on the market and accepting buyer offers.
- Backup – means the home has technically accepted a buyer offer and is sold, but the buyer is still in his/her contingency period of due diligence investigations and full loan approval. California buyers get 17 days after offer acceptance to complete all contingencies and inspections.
- Pending – implies all contingencies have been removed on this listing and its only a matter of time until close.
- Closed – entails the buyer's loan has funded, and title has officially recorded in the new owner's name.
There are a few other status' you may see:
- Hold – property is on hold and not being shown to new buyers for various reasons. (there are 36 of those right now)
- Cancelled – means the property listing was cancelled by the owner before a sale took place.
- Expired – indicates the listing agreement on the home for sale expired before a sale occurred.
- Withdrawn – similar to cancelled status, this property has been withdrawn from the market.
Current Mission Viejo Real Estate Statistics
Active: 108
Attached: 19
Detached: 89
Back Up: 154
Pending: 107
Closed (last 30 days): 114
Now lets compare these stats with last years Mission Viejo home statistics.
Average Sale Price in Mission Viejo 1 Year Ago: $416,951
Average Sale Price in MV in the Past 30 Days: $428,500
Avg. Square foot price 1 year ago: $231.31
Avg. Square foot price Today: $280.77
Avg. Days on Market 1 year ago: 93
Avg. Days on the Market Now: 76
We are currently moving towards a seller's market in Mission Viejo. There are an average of 4.5 offers for every one property, and we are seeing properties sell in 1 day or even before they hit the MLS!! Now is a perfect time to move up and get more square footage for less than ever before.

California Home Buyer Recovery Timeline – do you agree???
Happy Memorial Day!! We hope you have a nice and relaxing long weekend planned :) Here's an interesting email we received about homebuyer recovery from the folks at FirstTuesday.us and Barry Zanck, one of our preferred lenders. What do you think?
California Home Buyer Recovery
2005-2009 California economic development stagnates.
2007-2009 The Great Recession
2009-2010 The Federal Reserve takes direct control of long-term interest rates – all new mortgages are Fed funded by bonds.
2009-2016 The Lesser Depression, characterized by persistent slow job growth and low demand from home buyers, while dominated by speculators.
2010-2015 Home sales remains on a "bumpy plateau" recovery approximating their 2010 numbers. The state's homeownership rate drops below 55% (state's historic point of stability) to near 50%. Collectively, short sales, foreclosures sales and REO resales remain high.
2012-2013 The most likely bottom for home sales volume to users, followed by an extremely gradual sales volume recovery for lack of user demand. Apartment construction begins to rise noticeably in response to tenant demand.
2014-2015 Prior low pricing and low interest rates spark a bounce in home sales volume. This bounce is short-lived, as the Federal Reserve raises rates to control the pace of recovery and prevent momentum buying. Property prices keep pace with the rate of consumer inflation. Speculators holding SFRs acquired two or three years earlier begin to dump them
2014-2016 Home sales stabilize. Shortsales, foreclosures, bankruptcies and REOs remain high. 300,000-400,000 new jobs are created annually for a return to the December 2009 peak level. Generation Y begins to come of age and buy homes.
2016-2017 Full recovery mode for employment, home sales, then pricing. SFR construction rises, though no where near Boom-time heights.
2017-2018 Interest rates rise again.
2018-2020 Excess inventory of vacant homes finally returns to pre-recession levels. Generation Y begins to pick up homebuying activity en masse. Homeownership in California is at 50%.
2020-2025 Negative equity homeowners who refused to strategically default finally work their way out of debt and return to a stable financial status, the poorer for it.
2025+ Home prices return to peak levels of 2006. The lessons of the Great Recession forgotten, and home sales hedonism returns. The mistakes of the past are repeated and the cycle continues.
We agree that we are probably at the bottom right now, as we're already seeing an uptick in California homebuyer interest, and a decrease in inventory. We disagree that interest rates will stay low until 2017…..although wouldn't that be nice???! We also agree (unfortunately) that the lessons of the past will be forgotton by 2025, and the market will again cycle. It always does!
What do you think? Please comment below or tweet us @angieweeks or @weeksteam. Should you be interested in buying 'at the supposed bottom', please call us at 877-230-3211, and we're happy to show you homes over this Memorial weekend!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

Make the Most of Your Money – DIVERSIFY!
Mission Viejo Book Signing – 'Making the Most of Your Money'
Last week I visited the Mission Viejo Library to get a copy of what is supposed to be the best personal financial planning book on the market right now. Entitled 'Making the Most of Your Money', it was written by Jane Bryant Quinn. Honestly, I had never heard of Jane Bryant Quinn until recently, but she definitely is a highly respected voice in the money management community.
Jane got off to a light start, joking that she almost named her book 'Making the Most Out of What's Left of Your Money'. She agrees that the economy is in a bad place, adding that the government needed to step in in order to prevent a full-on depression. But this cloud has a silver lining – the economy is recovering. Nevertheless, we're still feeling some economic aches and pains, which is why keeping our finances in mind and tightening up our ship is such a good idea.
Jane covered quite a bit of financial planning territory. Regarding our current bull market, she recommended diversifying accordingly. She also touched on inflation, predicting that fortunately this monster won't go very high.
For the U.S. government's role, Jane pointed out that Congress may soon be restoring the Paygo law, which is intended to control government spending. This, along with a tax increase, could significantly help our budget.
So how do savers and investors pick their way through the current financial wilderness?
First and foremost, according to Jane, get OUT of consumer debt. "Debt is like feeding your dollars to squirrels." Do NOT make it normal. Debt and credit are not glamorous. Sure, they seem fun at first, but when it's time to retire and your mortgage is soaring, the debt beast will likely bring you to ruin.
In the Real Estate arena, Jane cautioned that we shouldn't expect the height of where we were in 2007 for many, many years. OK fine. Thanks for that. In general, home prices follow the inflation rate. Currently, consumers aren't thinking of their homes as investments. But that's OK. Because when all is said and done, according to Jane, it STILL PAYS to OWN a HOME!!!!!! But watch those HELOCs. Let's get back to that concept of paying down our mortgage, people. Jane also advised don't take a reverse mortgage until you're in your 80's, even though you are allowed to in your 60's.
If you're underwater on your rental investment, it's probably a good idea to lower your rent to keep your tenants. You must be prepared for losses for years and years if you are a serious real estate investor. Make sure you have liquid cash flow. You can also consider short sale or foreclosure if the property is a huge drain. Talk to a professional Orange County financial planner and / or consider some by the book investment education.
As for stocks, Jane mentioned that she talked with many of the top financial masterminds all over the nation. Apparently, the majority of them have the bulk of their own funds in a broad market index, something like S&P…
She added that for young people, lifestyle funds are a good idea, even though they've received a bit of a bad rap.
Jane also stated a good formula for your retirement fund risk is this: subtract your age from 110. Whatever that number is, that's the percent you should be investing in stocks. As you get older, this formula helps you safely transition into a majority of bonds and a lower risk portfolio.
There are so many valuable insights in this book, it was THICK! I'm sure 'Making the Most of Your Money' is truly a valuable guide to sound financial planning. But seriously, no matter how many books we read someone, who does financial planning for a living will always be better than we are, IMO. You should have a professional on your side. Just like you should in real estate!!
Speaking of property, if you would like your diversification strategy to include owning some Orange County Real Estate, I'm happy to help. Contact me at 949.338.7408 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Or follow me @AngieWeeks or @WeeksTeam.

Short Sale 101 – how long till I can get this property, anyway??
So, you can't find any decent REO's, or you're getting outbid.
And there's not enough equity sales.
You want the 8k homebuyer credit.
You find youself here, fishing in the sea of short sales in Orange County.
You've already read our post about what every buyer needs to know about a short sale.
But you're still stuck! Short sales won't close in time for the 8K first time buyer credit, right?! Honestly, probably not 80% of them. But a small percentage will. What clues should you look for?
1. Check for the word "approved" in the notes. Short sales that have been approved by the bank can many times sell within 30 days. Its getting the bank's approval that usually takes months.
2. Look for experience / feel of the listing agent or team. Do they respond? Are they on top of things? If the listing agent doesn't know how to deal with the bank it can add months to the process. Go ahead, Google them.
3. Do you see Short Sale – Notice of Default on the MLS report ? This means the property is in process of foreclosure and the bank has filed a notice of default on the property. You'd think notices would be filed immediately, but many times the bank waits for 3, 6, or 9 months of no payments until filing the NOD. After the notice is filed, stats are very high that a foreclosure will occur within the next 90 – 120 days. On short sales with a NOD the bank has a little more motivation because they aren't receiving any money from the current owner, and they are being offered in essence, a settlement and solution with your offer.
4. Check for Short Sale – offers submitted – this indirectly tells you the current owner has submitted the hardship package, because it usually needs to be submitted with the offer. That being said, I have seen this status used when agents had a lowball offer in hand but NOT submitted to the bank. It depends on the agent, and their ethics. This status is better than a short sale with no offers submitted, but you are still probably looking at at least 60 days and multiple offers when here. Not worth chancing for your 8K credit, we need to find you an approved short sale or one close to foreclosure. PERIOD!
5. Check notes for only one mortgage! We're currently STILL WAITING for an answer to one of our "approved" short sale offers that was literally submitted in JUNE. (Its Sept.) The first "approved" the price, but the second loan had not approved their settlement, and the agent didn't notate that detail in the listing.
Short sales are complicated, but we can help. Mostly by having the best Orange County MLS searches so you get new REO and equity listing emails the DAY they come on the market! We still recommend buying foreclosures or equity (normal) sales to have the best experience with today's market.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

Alright, alright. I'm big on views. I'm sure you want to know about the property… Its immaculate :) The trilevel offers 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 car attached garage and 2700 square feet. EVERYTHING is upgraded, Hardwood floors, granite counters, a nice corner fireplace and wonderful dining/living area to entertain, patios and balconies off of EVERY room, master bathroom with a perfect view of the ocean…definately somewhere you would want to check out.
Laguna Beach is ON SALE right now, there's 3 active listings on Loretta alone. One is going for 4.2M, the other for 1.6M, and the one I am holding open today is asking 2.4M. What a range, huh?

OMG It's an economical EARTHQUAKE! What to do from a financial planner's perspective…
Special thanks to William Jordan, our favorite Orange County financial planner, for taking time out from his hectic week to help educate our clients on what is REALLY going on with the economy right now. Mike & I highly encourage all of you to call your financial advisors this week, and if you don't have a financial advisor, go and talk to William at his Laguna Hills office – he rocks :)
It's an earthquake!
This week, the financial markets were shaken with an earthquake unlike almost anything we have seen in our lifetimes! The one similar example is the infamous "black Monday" on October 19th, 1987. On that one day, the stock market dropped over 500 points for the first time ever. A decline of more than 25% which dwarfs the declines we saw this week.
So what do we do? Panic? Run for the hills? Convert your cash to gold and start buying ammunition? Of course not. But to hear it discussed in some circles, that's exactly what should happen.
On Monday evening, I was interviewed on CNBC in the midst of the "AIG crisis". Yet another massive financial firm experiencing financial duress. I was asked what my counsel was to people who have been told to "buy and hold". The point I made was that this is a call to arms for people to get their financial houses in order. Too many people have been speculating financially, and the results are as we have seen.
For many people, including most of my clients, this was an expected though unwelcome event. We know that bear markets and financial downturns will happen. In fact this bear market has currently been less severe than the average bear markets we have seen in the past! It certainly doesn't feel like it, but it's true.
So what do you do? For starters, do a complete financial physical on where you are at. You need to examine your assets as well as your debts. Look in detail at your investment holdings, and decide if you need to make changes. Don't make changes for just any old reason, but with a practical and well thought out plan.
As I pointed out in a separate CNBC appearance a month ago, this is a great time to sell highly appreciated assets and pay capital gains. Those tax rates are still very low historically, and are likely to rise in the future. You can use the proceeds to pick up some excellent investments that are trading well below their values.
Bottom line is, like in any earthquake, don't panic! Stop and pick up the pieces. Make new plans moving forward, but make them with a clear mind and well thought out options. It's a perfect time to meet with your financial planner if you have one, or find a new one if yours isn't up to the task.
Earthquakes happen. Those who are prepared and don't panic will be okay.

Interview with a mortgage expert – what the HECK is up with loans???
Yes, this is a blog about Orange County real estate. But this week Mike and I have invited a couple guest bloggers to get involved, because you can't get real estate without financing and loans. Right now the media is all over what happened with IndyMac bank, and Fannie and Freddie. We want you to hear from local mortgage and financial EXPERTS, not just the media, what is really going down, and how it may affect you and your current home loan situation. The following info has been provided by Derek Beisner, one of our trusted OC CERTIFIED Mortgage Specialists. We encourage your comments, rants, and other expert opinions on this post too!!
Uncertainty in Financial Markets Could Cause Dramatic Rise in Existing ARMs at Next Adjustment
If you or anyone you know has an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, this is an important point to consider. Many ARM loans are tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In fact, there are six million loans in the United States that use LIBOR to determine the interest rate and as the name suggests, many banks use this rate to lend money to each other.
But, today, banks lack confidence that the money they lend will be paid back. In light of what has happened with Lehman Brothers, IndyMac Bank and others, as well as AIG, banks are requiring much higher rates on LIBOR to offset the added risk.
The Federal Reserve Left Rates Unchanged but…
The Federal Reserve met yesterday leaving the target rate unchanged at 2.00% but just like LIBOR the actual rate being charged by banks to each other is closer to 6.00%. This again suggests that those with ARM loans should consider a refinance into historically low fixed rates.
What Happened?
Financial companies have been under attack. IndyMac was the largest bank to falter in twenty years. What brought IndyMac down was their exposure to defaulting loans. This sapped investor confidence and drove down the stock price until they filed for bankruptcy.
Following IndyMac, we saw Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch succumb and were either forced into conservatorship, to close their doors, or to sell themselves. AIG, the world's largest insurance company was also impacted, forced to make a deal with the U.S. government to stay in business.
What You Can Do Now?
ASK AN EXPERT! DON'T try to figure out this complicated situation yourself!!!! I'd be happy to go over your loan situation and help you understand how the recent events may affect you, and how you can best be protected. Additionally, chaotic times like these often present opportunities. I look forward to hearing from you.

Orange County CA Home Sellers, are you overpriced?
The Orange County Real Estate market is moving. What direction? Many. What are we seeing? Good deals, strapped homeowners. What are we hearing? Happy stories, Sad stories. There's a positive and a negative in every environment, and we always encourage you to look at the glass as half full.
BUT….if your house is on the market right now….are you chasing the market down? What if your Realtor is doing it for you? Are you AND your agent strong enough to take the truth? I read this sad story on a popular Realtors "hub" online, its from a Realtor working out of Florida.
OC Sellers and potential sellers, you often choose to work with the agent who says your home is worth the most money. I want to encourage you to question the pricing method, not just get "sold" on potential dollar signs. Question the marketing strategies, your agent better have the money to do traditional marketing or they better be able to kick butt online. ASK how many contacts they have in their database, how many listings they have had expire, how many buyers they have searching on their website. If the agent at your listing appointment has a dog and pony show, and you buy into that without question, it could be a nightmare for everyone in the end.
Also, expect to be QUESTIONED yourself. A good agent is mostly questions, tayloring their strategies to your specific needs and situation. A good agent will listen to and really hear what you have to say, but they will also be strong and smart enough to TELL you things you may not want to hear.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

RT @LakersReporter: LAL was in control, but the tides turn a bit as Carter draws Howard's 3rd PF at the 5:10 mark. He'll likely sit the rest of the half.

The NHL season is finally upon us and it's time to make those final adjustments to your fantasy roster and dress your opening day lineup. Six teams start the NHL season overseas (Boston, Carolina, Columbus, Minnesota, Phoenix, and San Jose).
Games to be played in Week 1:
Two Games: Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Calgary, Carolina, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Montreal, New Jersey, Ottawa, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Jose, Toronto, and Washington
One Game: Colorado, Florida, Nashville, Islanders, Rangers, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, and Vancouver
When it comes to dressing your players for the upcoming week, especially your goalies, it is important to know which team is on a long road trip and which team is enjoying an extended period at home. Listed below are the teams that play all their games at home or on the road (minimum two games) and their home/road records through to the preseason:
HOME: Edmonton (3-1-0), Pittsburgh (3-0-0), Toronto (3-1-1)
AWAY: Anaheim (1-2-0), Dallas (0-1-1), Los Angeles (1-0-2), Montreal (1-1-0), Philadelphia (2-2-0)
If you participate in any type of head-to-head hockey pool then you are likely dressing a lineup for the scoring period, which usually ends on Sunday. As the week comes to an end and you find yourself in a close battle for those wins you want as many players as possible playing for you. Here are the teams that play on Sunday:
Boston, Calgary, Edmonton, Florida, Los Angeles, and Phoenix
When you are deciding which goalie to dress you need to look at the NHL schedule to see if your goalie's team will play in a back-to-back game that week. Most coaches will not dress the same goalie in back-to-back games so that is something to consider when you are thinking about which goalie to dress for the week. Avoid dressing goalies who are playing overseas as there is a good chance the coaches will decide to split the games between their two goalies. Here are the teams that play in back-to-back games this week:
Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Carolina, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ottawa, Phoenix, San Jose, and Washington
Knowing which team is on a hot streak or cold streak will help in making your lineup decisions, for example you definitely want to dress a goalie from teams that are on a hot streak. Here are the top five and bottom five teams based on the preseason:
TOP Five: Calgary (7-0-0), Philadelphia (5-2-1), Toronto (5-3-1), Washington (5-1-0), Pittsburgh (5-1-0)
BOTTOM Five: Atlanta (0-5-1), Minnesota (0-4-2), Islanders (1-4-0), Boston (1-3-1), San Jose (2-4-0)
Most elite stars are consistent scorers, but there are several players who are very streaky so keep an eye on their stats so that you can dress them while they are on a hot streak. Here are the top five scorers from the preseason at each position:
FORWARDS: Phil Kessel-TOR (6G 4A), Derek Roy-BUF (3G 7A), Ryan Getlzaf-ANA (2G 7A), Drew Stafford-BUF (2G 7A) and Tomas Plekanec-MON (6G 3A)
DEFENSEMEN: Chris Campoli-OTT (2G 6A), Brian Rafalski-DET (2G 5A), Jack Johnson-LOS (2G 5A), Josh Gorges-MON (0G 6A) and Alex Goligoski-PIT (2G 4A)
GOALTENDERS: Ryan Miller-BUF (4GS 3W 0SO), Henrik Karlsson-CAL (3GS 3W 0SO), Henrik Lundqvist-NYR (3GS 3W 0SO), Sergei Bobrovsky-PHI (2GS 3W 0SO) and Marc-Andre Fleury-PIT (4GS 3W 0SO)

The Highland breed of cattle, with their majestic sweeping horns and long,
thick coat of flowing hair is truly a beautiful sight to behold.
Highlands are disease resistant and exceptionally hardy, with
an ability to adapt and thrive in a variety of climates and living conditions. Members of our Highland fold
have successfully braved the bitterly cold winters of Upstate New York and have also weathered the hot, humid Florida
summers. This particular breed of cattle can survive on poor pastures and woodlands due to their unique ability
to convert poor forage into usable food for growth and maintenance. They are known for their longevity and excellent
mothering--it is not unusual for a Highland in excess of fifteen years of age to continue to breed and raise
Please check our For Sale page to see members of our fold who are currently available.
Complete pedigree information is available by email.
Highland beef is extremely lean and flavorful. From
time to time, we raise steers for beef. If you have an interest in Highland beef, please call or email to place your
special order.

text: Hello again everyone, and welcome to another installment of my blog. First of all, I have kind of a funny story to share. When I woke up this morning, I thought my alarm clock said 8:30 and that I was running late to work, so I got ready as fast as I could and ran out the door to my car and came to work. It turns out that it was only actually 7:30 and when I got to work it was only 7:55AM (My shift doesn't start until 8:30) Better to come early than late I guess, right? My life the past week or so has just consisted of the usual work and video gaming. No good movies out recently other than Harry Potter, which I happened to watch twice. (Once with family, and once with April) Looking forward to starting the Nursing program here in about two months, but still trying to enjoy the rest of my summer, because I know I won't have very much free time once school starts. I can't really think of anything else to talk about right now, so I will see you all again next week.

Styrofoam Packing Peanuts
Styrofoam packing peanuts were designed to help make sure that you get items from one destination to another in one piece. Whether you are shipping an item, or simply moving from one home to another, choosing to buy Styrofoam packing peanuts is a great way to ensure that your possessions will be safe. If you are moving a lot of items, bulk packing peanuts are usually cheaper than buying small amounts of packaging peanuts. If you own a shipping business, a packing peanut dispenser may save you time and money, because time is money.
The ability to fill empty space in boxes with a packing peanut dispenser efficiently, quickly, and without making a mess is a lifesaver in itself. If you ship many items for a living, using the correct packing peanuts for each job is important. You would want to use antistatic packing peanuts for all electronic devices that may be affected by static electricity.
When all possible it is important to help mother Earth by using biodegradable packing peanuts. With so many people trying to go green, why not send them their packages in the mail with a green packing peanuts. These green packing peanuts are equal friendly and are dissolvable since they are made from cornstarch. When you're shipping extremely breakable items, you should think about using a softer foam packaging peanuts. Even taking a little extra time, and wrapping the items first with the bubble wrap will ensure the item does not get broken as easily also. Although some packing peanuts, or packaging supplies may be more expensive, and cost you more out of pocket to buy them, using the right packing peanut for the job will actually save you money in the long run.
Having the right packing materials as a person who ships many items is extremely important. Styrofoam Packing peanuts are not the only items that you should use for shipping. Remember, you'll need packing boxes, a wide variety of foam peanuts and loose fill materials, along with other shipping supplies such as packaging tape, bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, and of course room to store everything. Never settle for a business is asking price, when you yourself are a business and expect to be buying in bulk. Always ask for a discount, or at the least free shipping when you feel you were buying above and beyond what the average consumer would buy at one time.
Make sure that you charge for your time and packing services. When you see advertised shipping and handling for an item, you are paying for someone's packing services and time it takes to physically ship out an item. Shipping and handling also is covering the price of your shipping and packaging materials. Do not overcharge, as people will not want to pay for expensive shipping rates. If you are able to buy cheap cardboard boxes, pass those savings on to your customers. They will appreciate it and continue to shop with you and buy items from you.

Alternative uses for Packing Peanuts
So now that you've moved into your new home, and are all settled in, what can you do with all these packing peanuts that you'll no longer need. Well if you have used a recyclable packing peanut, then by all means take them and donate them to a local mailing center. Many mailing centers will accept your packing peanuts and reuse them. However what if you have bought a plastic packing peanut that is non-recyclable. While there are a few other uses that you can get out of them around your house.
Why not take some of your leftover packing peanuts and spread them at the bottom of a pot, to provide drainage space for your houseplants. Or how about using your used packing peanuts to create a bed or a soft pillow for your dog or cat, by stuffing them into an old pillow case. You can even use your old styrofoam packing peanuts to deodorize a room. Simply put a handful of them and a potpourri jar, spray them with your favorite perfume, danger room will smell awesome. Another idea is to pour them into a plastic bag, and use them in your suitcase when you travel. They will go a long way for helping cushion your breakables while you were on vacation.
Another great use for your old packing peanuts, is to use them for stuffing and furniture. I'm not talking about expensive couches or chairs, but I am referring to may be a bean bag for your children. Using packing peanuts instead of buying the polystrene beads will save you money, and as the packing peanuts break down you can continually add more packing peanuts to refill it as needed.
These are just a few of the many uses that you can get out of your old packing peanuts. It is better to reuse them or recycle them in your own way, then to throw away and have them sit at a landfill for many many years. If you cannot use them for any of the above, then onto them you'll find somebody who will need them when they're moving. In the future if you can buy a biodegradable packing peanut, this will solve many of the problems of getting rid of them.

Why Use a Packing Peanut?
Moving all of your possessions from one home to another can be a very stressful situation. Taking proper care of your items or possessions, and packaging them in a way that ensures that it will not break during the move, is very important. Having the proper packing material plays a big role in keeping your items safe. One of the best packing materials that you can pick up at a local packing supply company such as U-Haul, would be packing peanuts.
Packing peanuts are a loose fill packing, that you usually pour into a box after the box has already been filled with the items you are planning to move. Packing peanuts, are extremely cheap and worth the investment to make sure that your possessions are safe from being banged around, dropped and broken during a move.
Wrapping your items with packing foam, along with the extra help with packing peanuts will ensure a safe transfer of items from your home to your new home. There are a couple different types of packing peanuts available on the market today, that you can either pick up locally or shop for online. These would include plastic packing peanuts, and Styrofoam packaging peanuts.
In a world that has gone green today, it is good to look for a packaging peanuts that is biodegradable. Many packing supply companies carry a biodegradable packing peanut that is non-toxic and reusable. These are a great choice for helping to save our environment. So the next time you're planning to move, and are looking for a loose fill packing material, make sure to evaluate packing peanuts and their ability to keep your possessions safe from harm during any move.

VIDEO: Christina's Stronger Performance – Total Flop?
Tuesday, April 17th, 2012
So Xtina performed last night on the Voice, and even though I watched it and didn't think much of it good OR bad, she seems to have been put on blast overnight.
People are saying she looked awful, she screamed too much, and not to mention she made a really lousy decision when she voted off Jesse. While I agree she should probably invest in some pants and I have no idea what she was thinking since that girl at the end of the song was AWFUL, I think this is classic Christina! That's why we fell in love with her voice in the beginning right?!
Time to ask the audience. What do you think of her performance?

Rotations: Yankees battle injuries
Warren, Garcia to fill gaps
Published: Jun 28, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
The New York Yankees already are without their top offseason add (Michael Pineda) and Hall of Fame closer (Mariano Rivera). On Wednesday, New York placed CC Sabathia (groin) on the DL before Andy Pettitte took a line-drive off the shin and suffered a fractured ankle.
Most major-league teams couldn't handle that, but most teams aren't the Yankees.
Pettitte is expected to be out six weeks. Sabathia is expected to miss just two starts. Put him on the DL and don't worry. Pettitte, however, is the top drop in Yahoo! leagues. Some owners might want to hold on to the 40-year-old over the next weeks. I say he'll be there for you after his recovery. Don't waste the roster spot.
Adam Warren and Freddy Garcia are expected to fill in for Sabathia and Pettitte. Let's run down the makeshift rotation that likely will stand until at least the All-Star break (ownership in parentheses):
Ivan Nova (71 percent). Nova is the de facto ace of the rotation, and he's pitching like it in June (3-0, 1.27/0.95). Nova still owns a 5.35/1.53 split at home, but he's a stopper on the road (6-0, 3.44/1.28). Nova is the best bet sans Sabathia.
Adam Warren (0 percent). The 24-year-old will make his debut Friday. He put up so-so numbers at Class AAA, including a 5-5 record, 3.86 ERA and 59 Ks in 86.1 innings. Be prepared to hear about his college days when he went 32-4 with the North Carolina Tar Heels. But Warren's stay in the rotation likely won't be any longer than David Phelps' was in May.
Hiroki Kuroda (71 percent). It's been an up-and-down season for Kuroda, but like Nova he's pitched well in June (3-1, 2.38/1.09). Unlike Nova, Kuroda has tamed Yankee Stadium (5-3, 2.91/1.12). Kuroda's value is about what we expected when New York acquired him this offseason.
Phil Hughes (38 percent). Here is the guy worth picking up. We said that earlier this week in Pickup Lines, and he dealt eight scoreless innings against the Indians. Hughes also is 2-1 with a 0.75 ERA and 0.75 WHIP against the White Sox, a team he'll see Sunday. The Yankees need Hughes to step up, perhaps more than any other pitcher, until Pettitte returns. Can he handle the pressure?
Freddy Garcia (2 percent). Garcia made four starts in April, where he went 0-2 with a 12.51 ERA. He's allowed just three earned runs in 17.2 innings out of the bullpen since, but he's still just a spot starter with a 4.68/1.42 career split at the new Yankee Stadium. Outside of chasing wins in H2H leagues, there isn't a lot of upside.
What to watch: Hughes and Garcia, especially in a doubleheader against Boston on July 7. Should both Hughes and Garcia tank, and the Red Sox are within say, three games by the break, New York might be proactive and trade for another starter in late July. On the flip side, if Hughes and/or Garcia pitches well, they will have their place in mixed leagues.

He was also active in parish and diocesan organizations, very supportive of Catholic Schools, and had a daily routine of mass and rosary. He was a very devoted father and husband and gave a great example to his children and grandchildren by adapting gracefully to the loss of his sight during the last 20 years of his life.
He is survived by his daughters, Mary Sue (Bill) Kathman of Ft. Mitchell, KY, Dorothy (Rick Carty) Garlough of Ontario, Canada, Theresa (David) Burt of Lexington, Monica (Herb) Blackburn of Cincinnati, Carol (Duncan) Taylor of Lexington, and Lisa (Bernie) Dotsey of Owensboro; sons, Phillip (Landis) Thompson of Henderson, Gary (Donna) Thompson of Frankfort, and Shelby (Mary Ann) Thompson of Owensboro; 33 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; brothers, Paul Thompson and Charles Thompson; and a sister, Patsy Clayton all of Owensboro.

Visitation will be at the funeral home from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Thursday with the Rosary at 7 p.m. Visitation on Friday after 10 a.m.
Expressions of sympathy may take the form of Mass offerings or donations to Owensboro Catholic Schools.
