Spotlight on the arts
UGA will hold its second annual Spotlight on the Arts festival Nov. 7-15, featuring concerts, theater and dance performances, art exhibitions, poetry readings, film festivals, discussions on the arts and creativity, and more.
The festival will kick off on Nov. 7 with several evening events including a University Theatre production of "Pride and Prejudice" at the Fine Arts Theatre, a Senior Dance Concert showcasing student choreography at the New Dance Theatre, and Student Night at the Georgia Museum of Art. In addition, UGA's Performing Arts Center will partner with The Classic Center in downtown Athens to present "Two Man Group," an evening of improvisational comedy with Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood, stars of the TV show "Whose Line It is Anyway?"
Also on Nov. 7, the UGA Press will hold a "dirty book" sale of slightly damaged merchandise at the Tate Student Center Plaza, and the Jane and Harry Willson Center for Humanities and Arts will host a discussion among Willson Center Fellows doing arts-based research projects.
Other highlights of the nine-day festival include a production of "Carmen" by the UGA Opera Theatre on Nov. 14 (with an open dress rehearsal the night before), several events to be held in conjunction with the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Nov. 11 at the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries, and a Museum Mix evening Nov. 14 at the Georgia Museum of Art, which will stay open until midnight for dancing and tours of the exhibitions.
The Willson Center, in conjunction with the community organization Whatever It Takes, will present a film festival Nov. 9-10 featuring the work of writer-director Jim McKay, whose credits include "Everyday People" and "Angel Rodriguez."
Another film festival Nov. 12-15 will focus on movies tied to books published by the UGA Press. A signature event on the closing evening of the festival will be a performance by Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain at the Performing Arts Center on Nov. 15. The Oscar-nominated actor has been portraying Twain on the stage for nearly 50 years.
A schedule of events with ticket information will be posted at arts.uga.edu as details are confirmed.

Awesome Dress! I bought this dress for a cruise and to use for my sister's wedding. This dress is beautiful! It is beautiful on women who have more shape. It has pockets which gives you something that most dresses don't, a place for your keys, lipstick, whatever! July 24, 2011
LOVE this dress I originally picked out another dress online before this one. It didn't flatter all of my girls like I thought. I have one bridesmaid who is a small girl, but I also have one who is a size 18 and tall. This dress looks great on everyone! PERFECT for my wedding. July 8, 2011
So glad I found this dress! I have spent about 2 months looking for the perfect bridesmaid dress. My bridesmaids are sizes 2, 4, 6, 10, and 18 and this dress looked great on all of them! A lot of the bridesmaid dresses are hard to imagine for a winter wedding, but this one feels right. I strongly recommend this dress! June 30, 2011

4th Gen, Whether you like it or not, I have a right to vote in this country as long as I can hobble to the voting booth. How dare you suggest I retire my voting arm. At 81, I still run my own company, with a healthy net income. Healthy enough that I have given $55,000 to charity thus far in 2011. What have you done to improve America this year, except read lying Tea Party propaganda.
My statements about past presidents and the current GOP candidates were the truth and I could care less whether you agree with them or not. In fact your rebuttal was a joke; evidence of an illiterate person.

Gold falls ahead of FOMC statement
Prices slipped as investors awaited news from the committee's meeting.
By Andrea Tse, TheStreet
Updated at 2:10 p.m. ET
Gold prices softened ahead of a key Federal Open Market Committee statement that could provide investors with more direction on where the economy is headed.
The policymakers are expected to leave the key Fed funds target rate untouched at zero to 0.25%. However, investors and analysts are still waiting to hear more about an expected discussion of more quantitative easing measures.
Earlier today, another key piece of economic data -- housing starts -- was announced. The Department of Commerce said housing starts increased 10.5% in August to 598,000 from 541,000 in July, which was better than the 550,000 starts economists were expecting, according to Briefing.com.
Gold for December delivery settled $6.50 lower to $1,274.30 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold today traded as high as $1,283.90 and as low as $1273.50. The U.S. dollar index was down 0.4% to $81.04, while the euro was rising 0.5% to 1.31 against the dollar. The spot gold price was losing more than $5, according to Kitco's gold index.
Also to be discussed at the FOMC meeting, according to analysts, are changes -- and the degree of those changes -- to the Fed's balance sheet. In his daily newsletter, James Moore, an analyst at TheBullionDesk.com, said an indication of the Fed's expanding its balance sheet would likely boost investor confidence in stocks and the industrial metals.
"This would likely prove negative for gold, short term. However, the longer-term inflationary implications will no doubt increase demand for gold as investors diversify into more tangible assets," Moore said.
As investors awaited key economic news out the U.S., Indian gold shoppers remained sidelined for another day as near-record prices "offered nothing in the way of incentives to lure them out to local dealers during the present festival period," Kitco analyst Jon Nadler wrote in a daily note.
Silver prices settled 16 cents lower at $20.64 per ounce while copper closed down 2 cents at $3.49 per pound.
Gold mining stocks, a risky but sometimes more profitable way to invest in gold, were trading in negative territory Tuesday. Kinross Gold (KGC) was falling 2.3% to $18.39 in morning trading, while Newmont Mining (NEM) was shedding 2% to $62.03.
Barrick Gold (ABX) was dropping 2.7% to $45.18 and Eldorado Gold (EGO) was sinking 4.2% to $18.39.

Okay, i SWEAR I had this comic written out before Nedroid posted that one comic that's a lot like this one. (nedroid.com) I'm not saying he didn't have the idea first, I just don't want you guys to think I completely plagiarize my jokes, I would never. Though, I love Nedroid and Anthony Clark, he's been a huge inspiration to my life.
Anyway, this comic was balls hard. but I think it's a turning point for how I go about Quince and Wilby comics (Two Squares). Yeah, I mean, they were originally just for practice, and were totally meant to be kept simple, but every time I make a new one I want to go further and try new things and work harder for the finished product. I was just testing the waters before I started making a comic for Andy Block, let's say. I've been keeping the lights dim on Two Squares, but I think I'm going to up the Ante. and soon, I'm gonna start making Andy Block comics. Then I can start DEMANDING FANART. Yeah, fanart of any of my characters makes me explode.
ANYWAY. expect things. I guess. I'll be asking for your help soon.

State Rep. Dusty Hightower, R-Carrollton, this morning dropped legislation on behalf of Secretary of State Brian Kemp to unclog the processing of half-million professional licenses – unintended victims of Georgia's illegal immigration statute.
HB 87, passed in 2011, currently requires all license applicants – from nurses to barbers to plumbers – to submit proof of citizenship before new or renewed licenses are granted.
Wait times for licenses have increased five-fold as a result, Kemp says.
HB 32 will only require applicants to submit proof of citizenship only once. A similar measure was attempted last year, but failed when it became wrapped into legislation that would have barred all undocumented students from public universities.
Meanwhile, the state Senate's newly configured Committee on Assignments today gets down to the business of doling out chairmanships and committee memberships. The biggest prize: Chairmanship of the Senate Rules Committee, through which all bills

Age, Technology and Labour Costs
AbstractIs the process of workforce aging a burden or a blessing for the firm? Our paper seeks to answer this question by providing evidence on the age-productivity and age-earnings profiles for a sample of plants in three manufacturing industries (forest, industrial machinery and electronics) in Finland. Our main result is that exposure to rapid technological and managerial changes does make a difference for plant productivity, less so for wages. In electronics, the Finnish industry undergoing a major technological and managerial shock in the 1990s, the response of productivity to age-related variables is first sizably positive and then becomes sizably negative as one looks at plants with higher average seniority and experience. This declining part of the curve is not there either for the forest industry or for industrial machinery. It is not there either for wages in electronics. These conclusions survive when a host of other plausible productivity determinants (notably, education and plant vintage) are included in the analysis. We conclude that workforce aging may be a burden for firms in high-tech industries and less so in other industries.

Experimental Economic Approaches on Trade Negotiations
AbstractThis paper experimentally examines the multilateral bargaining games to derive some policy implications for real trade negotiations. It shows the following findings : there are significant delays in games including veto players in some circumstances, but no delays in games including multiple-vote players. In addition, non-veto players as weak players, which are disadvantaged in taking share, make collusive attempts against veto players, but not effectively. As policy implications, this paper suggests enforceable deadlines or threats toward low-quality agreements to reduce the delay problems. Furthermore, as another remedy for the delays, it suggests an effort to group countries like multiple-vote players in unequal-weight games.

Look at this one hydrangea bloom. It is full of life. Still hanging on in the summer heat, even though all the others have dried out an died.
I walk by this when I'm walking the dogs in the morning. Yesterday, on our way home from the pool, I finally stopped to take a picture. I took a picture of this same bush when it was fully in bloom with lots of living flowers – blue and pink. And that was really beautiful.
But this one is beautiful too, in kind of a different way – but kind of the same, standard kind of beautiful way, too.
I promise not to get all symbolic on you now that I'm on this writing journey. At least, not all the time anyway.
But you know what? I can relate to that hydrangea. It's surrounded by scorching heat. It's all alone. But, somehow, it's still making it.
I read this in my devotional this morning:
"Your only hope is to look up and see the Light of My Presence shining down on you. Though the Light looks dim from your perspective, deep in the pit, those rays of hope can reach you at any depth."
Oh, do I remember that pit.
Oh, do I remember looking all around me, and feeling so alone, feeling so different, feeling so overwhelmed. Feeling so mad at God. The smallest little thing could make me cry. I couldn't get through a day without crying. Then, it got a little better – I could go a day but not a week without crying.
Some of you were there, then.
Some of you were reading along as I took those first steps out of the pit.
I'm out now! I'm free! His promises are true, even when they do take time to see, and especially to feel.
There are still times when I look around and see how different our life is from those around us. But, the self pity isn't there, so it doesn't sting as much.
And, I can see that all of this is being used for good.
That makes all the difference in the world.
If the smallest things make you cry, go ahead and cry. Cry out. He is there. He can handle your doubt, your anger, your fear. Just keep being real. Because I think if you're real, the light and the water can still get to you.
And who knows – maybe next summer you will be the one shining and growing and alive, even if you are the only one standing.
"He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD."
I highly recommend "Jesus Calling," especially if you're like me and peace is not your autopilot mode.

The Order of Days: The Maya World and the Truth about 2012
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The world's foremost expert on Maya culture looks at 2012 hysteria and explains the truth about what the Maya meant and what we want to believe.
Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilizations End. The World Cataclysm in 2012. 2012: The return of Quetzalcoatl. According to many of these alarmingly titled books, the ancient Maya not only had a keen insight into the mystical workings of our planet and the cosmos, but they were also able to predict that the world will end in the year 2012.
David Stuart, the foremost scholar of the Maya and recipient of numerous awards for his work, takes a hard look at the frenzy over 2012 and offers a fascination (and accurate) trip through Mayan culture and belief. Stuart shows how the idea that the "end of the Mayan calendar," which supposedly heralds the end of our own existence, says far more about our culture than about the ancient Maya. The Order of Days explores how the real intellectual achievement of ancient Maya timekeeping and worldview is far more impressive and remarkable than any of the popular, and often outrageous, claims about this advanced civilization.
As someone who has studied the Maya for nearly all of his life and who specializes in reading their ancient texts, Stuart sees the 2012 hubbub as the most recent in a long chain of related ideas about Mesoamericans, the Maya in particular, that depicts them as somehow oddball, not "of this world," or as having some strong mystical link to other realms.
Because the year 2012 has no prominent role in anything the ancient Maya ever actually wrote, Stuart takes a wider look at the Maya concepts of time and their underlying philosophy as we can best understand them. The ancient Maya, Stuart contends, were worthy of study and admiration not because they were strange but because they were altogether human, and they developed a compelling vision of time unlike any other civilization before or since.
The world's foremost expert on Mayan culture takes a hard look at the frenzy over 2012 and offers a fascinating (and accurate) trip through Mayan culture and belief.

Although I cursed it in my youth, dyslexia turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Not being able to read or write until the age of ten forced me to express myself through acting. At the Stephens College playhouse in Missouri I fell in love with an actor, a married actor. That experience led to the publication of my first book (Love and Madness: My Private Years with George C. Scott).
When I found myself pregnant. George wanted me to abort the baby. I refused. My friend Tammy Grimes, who later became a two-time Tony Award winner (The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Private Lives) helped me find the Florence Crittenden Home for Unwed Mothers outside of Boston, where I gave birth to our daughter. My play, Bad Girl, was based on that experience.
Years later George returned to my life (Hello Again).
The hardships of war and the Great Depression that mark my family's history led me to write Saturday Night Dance Club.
After living in Terre Haute, Indiana, and earlier in North Conway New Hampshire, near the home of Peyton Place author, Grace Metalious, I was inspired to write Freedom's Sins, a story of scandals in a small town.
Getting lost for several hours during a brief stay near the abandoned military base scared me into writing The Ghosts of Fort Ord.
My nonfiction novel, Helga: Growing Up in Hitler's Germany, is based on my interview of a former member of the Jugend, Hitler's child army.
My many overnight weekend getaways on the famous Queen Mary has me busily writing The Ghosts of the Queen Mary. I look forward to publishing it in the autumn 2014.

Press Release
June 9, 2014
Local Author's Nonfiction Novel About Hitler's Child Army
Helga: Growing Up in Hitler's Germany is the title of Carlsbad resident Karen Truesdell Riehl's latest eBook, scheduled for release July 7 on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords and other eBook publishers.
The nonfiction novel is based on the author's interview of a former member of the Jugend, Hitler's child army. All persons and events are true to Helga's childhood memories. Only the dialog has been fictionalized, using the dramatic techniques of a novel. Except for Helga's first name, the names of family and friends have been changed to respect the privacy of those still living with the memories.
Click here for a brief audio excerpt of my interview with Helga on YouTube.
When the author met her in 1977, Helga was an elementary school librarian, a 1948 German immigrant. When asked about her experience during the war, she quietly revealed she had been a "Jugend," a member of Hitler's child army, "trained to revere and obey the Fuhrer." When Riehl asked how children were recruited, she replied, "Clever seduction."
Helga's seduction begins with an invitation she cannot refuse. The ten-year-old is ordered to attend weekly meetings of the Hitler Youth movement. Lies and tasty treats are employed to entice her allegiance to the Fuhrer. Helga is sent away to youth training camps as the war draws nearer her home in Berlin. She is caught between loyalty to her family, suffering under Nazi rule, and loyalty to the Fuhrer, who keeps her safe and well-fed. Helga's gradual disillusionment, followed by her harrowing escape home, is a powerful coming-of-age story of a young girl's survival of Nazi mind control.
Readers' Favorite Review:
Helga: Growing Up in Hitler's Germany is a major and valuable addition to World War II literature. It's most highly recommended. Jack Magnus

FDA Forms Task Force on Human Tissue Safety
MedSun: Newsletter #9, November 2006
In an effort to strengthen its comprehensive, risk-based system for regulating human cells and tissue, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has formed the multidisciplinary Human Tissue Task Force (HTTF). An August 30, 2006, FDA announcement noted that senior officials from FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and the Office of Regulatory Affairs will lead the HTTF. The task force will assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the tissue regulations established in 2005, and will review recent findings that some tissue recovery establishments have violated Federal rules governing tissue recovery. This task force will help FDA explore additional means to strengthen its approach to ensuring that tissue recovery firms follow required practices to prevent transmission of communicable diseases.

Minoring in Women's and Gender Studies
Please contact your college adviser for details. Minors must declare with the student's home department.
At the University of Texas at Austin, some degree plans require minors, some do not. Some programs offer minors, others do not and instead call them "unofficial concentrations." It is best to talk to your academic advisor to learn your degree plan requirements.
- What are you going to do with that? Career Ideas for WGS Majors
Students in most majors must also fulfill the requirements of a minor. The minor consists of a specific number of semester hours of coursework completed outside the student's major field. The requirements of the minor are established by the major department. Additional restrictions may be imposed by the academic department(s) in which the student takes the courses used to fulfill the requirements of the minor; before planning to use a course to fulfill the minor requirement, the student should consult the department or program that offers the course.
The same courses may not be used to fulfill the requirements for both a major and a minor. Courses used to fulfill the requirements for a minor must be taken on the letter-grade basis, and six of the required semester hours must be taken in residence.
In the College of Liberal Arts, a minor is 12 hours from an area, with 6 of those hours being from upper-division courses.
(Lower-division classes are numbered 301-319. Upper-division classes are number 320-379.)
For example, a Liberal Arts student could minor in WGS with the following courses:

Tommy Hilfiger SS14 Tailored Collection
Source: eu.tommy.com
Tommy Hilfiger x George Esquível Limited Edition Loafers
Following their first encounter in 2009 during the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award, Tommy Hilfiger and George Esquível have recently joined forces to create a limited edition footwear collection. Coming from two of America's most renowned designers, the collection takes Hilfiger's preppy universe and twists it with Esquível's signature detailing, delivering a unique piece of American history.
Inspired by a vintage aesthetic, the collection is comprised by a loafer and brogue for both men and women: four distinct models made from locally sourced premium leathers and featuring artisanal details such as antique leather washing, hand-punched perforations and hand-appliqued logos using a hot branding iron. Each pair comes with its own limited edition number, customized dust bag and box.
I was lucky enough to receive a pair of the exclusive two-toned loafer created for the collection. The combination of the navy uppers and contrast burgundy applications works beautifully, with the highlights going to the outstanding handcrafted perforations and detailing, which definitely takes them to another level. The last, a bit rounder than the ones I'm used to, was actually a pleasant surprise as its classic nature is evenly balanced by the overall modern take on the loafer.

Beyond Fabric x Tommy Hilfiger #2
A couple of weeks back I collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger in promoting the opening of its new store in Porto, through an action focused on capturing the city life on camera using street style photography. I hit the streets and several pics later, the printed shots were delivered to those who attended the inauguration cocktail party.
Here's a small sample of the outcome!
PS: for all those unable to attend the cocktail, your picture is still waiting to be picked up at Tommy Hilfiger's store at NorteShopping. For any further information contact me at email@example.com.

Furthermore, they asked me to collaborate with them on an exclusive street style promotional action: during this week I'll be cruising the streets of Porto looking for people who embody the brand's universe and aesthetic. During the event, guests will be able to pick up their printed pictures as well as enjoy an exclusive 20% off on selected items, so if you happen to be in town be sure not to miss it and keep an eye out for me when walking down the street =).

The newly announced Air Yeezy II hit store shelves June 9th, and by the 9th, these limited edition kicks will likely be sold out forever.
"A primal, tactile approach to technology runs throughout every element of the Nike Air Yeezy II. Armored animalistic forms imbue the upper. Hand skived anaconda textured leather quarter panels are embellished with a debossed Vac-Tech Nike Swoosh. The molded rear is sculpted with a reptilian inspired spike, while an engineered strap with scaled down spikes was developed to offer a greater sense of symmetry and lock down."

"Good communication and fast shipping. Satisfied."
"The bassinett rocker came in a riped up, damaged box. Very bad packaging. Also when we opened it, we discovered 4 pieces the wood damaged (scratched, scuffed and dented). I didn't want to send it back and wait another week for a new one so decided to keep it. We are due in 5 days and didn't want to risk it. Put it together and discovered several screws were missing too! Horrible experience and will never purchase from Comfort1st again."
"The products arrived early in perfect condition, can't ask for much more out of a purchase."
"Easy to navigate site and straightforward checkout."
"I am very satisified with my experience with Comfort1st. They shipped on time and the product was very easy to put in the car. The company accidentally sent me 3 car seats but contacted me right away to have the extra seats picked up. "
"I thought Comfort1st was a wonderful company to work with. After no response to the email I sent regarding a question about the car seat, I just went ahead and ordered it anyway. I am happy with the car seat.
Thank you!!"
"I'm very satisfied with Comfort1st. "
"Extremely positive: they had the item I wanted; ordering was simple, and it arrived ahead of schedule."
"I shopped from Comfort1st for the first time and my experience was great! I received the item within 2 days. Great prices, great customer service! I definitely recommend this website!"
"This company is amazing! Super fast shipping and a GREAT product! My 3 month old absolutely loves the mobile we got him and the quality is wonderful! I would definitely shop here again and would recommend them to anyone!! Thanks "
"Great quality. Quick shipping!"
"very quick shipping, price was best I could find too."
"More specifications would be nice. It would have been nice to know i was paying twenty extra dollars for a Peace sign on a bag that was painted on. When I could have done it for $3.00 with some acrylic paint. And done a better quality job. Other than that it arrived on time and the bag is very nice other than the peace sign"
"They are a great company! We got our products very quickly!"
"Sara T, the Comfort1st representative, was very knowledgeable of the selection of strollers the store carries. She recommended the Cybex Onyx umbrella stroller. The item arrived in 2 days from the time I placed my order!! The stroller was just what my baby needed for our trip to the west coast and was great for us too as it is lightweight, folds easily, and has a GREAT canopy to allow the baby to rest and stay in the shade. I highly recommend Comfort1st as an online seller of baby products. "

Do we really need 20% down payments?
Requiring homebuyers to bring more cash to the table is likely to be part of mortgage reform. Is that really a good idea?
One of the measures being discussed to reform the mortgage industry is to require larger down payments from homebuyers, perhaps 20% or more.
The rationale is that with more "skin in the game," borrowers will be less likely to walk away if their homes lose value. If they need to sell, declining prices won't have eaten up all their equity.
This argument is a bit less persuasive in areas where the decline in property values has been significantly more than 20%. Of the $751 billion in negative equity nationwide, half is from borrowers who are more than 50% underwater. A buyer who put $80,000 down on a $400,000 house in 2005 would still be significantly underwater in locales where that house is worth $200,000 or less.
Some people want to go back to the "old days" when homebuyers routinely made 20% down payments, but I'm not sure when those days were. I bought my first house in 1983 with 5% down. But data from Zillow's analysis of nine hard-hit cities found that median down payments averaged 20% in the late '90s, began moving down in 2001 and were 4% or less in 2006 in those markets.
Post continues below video
Linda Stern and Felix Salmon, two bloggers for Reuters, did point-counterpoint posts on whether higher down payments are a good idea.
Even if you have the money for a bigger down payment, there can be good reasons to save your cash. Mortgage rates continue to skirt all-time lows: Why not put your money to work for yourself and borrow as much as you can reasonably afford, on a monthly basis, at today's rates? You can put the money you're not paying into a down payment to work elsewhere. If home values rise, you will have done your best to leverage a small down payment into bigger equity. If they fall, you'll have less skin in the game, and that could put more pressure on your banker to improve your loan terms lest you walk away.
The average mortgage rate this week was 4.88%, up from 4.87% last week.
Linda's conclusion is that "the less you put down, the better off you are." Which is true so long as you keep on making all your mortgage payments without any problem, and nothing goes very wrong either with your personal economic situation or with the U.S. economy as a whole. That's the way that leverage works: It makes everything sunny, so long as things go right. And then it plunges you into misery when things go wrong.
Stern then wrote a second post, saying, "Remember, my job is to write about what's good for the consumer, not the bankers and brokers."
The Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer group, argues that low down payments have been used successfully for more than 50 years, expanding in the 1980s, and that the mortgage mess was brought about by subprime loans and weak underwriting, not low down payments. The center wrote:
In fact, low-down-payment home loans have been a significant and safe part of the mortgage finance system for decades, bearing little resemblance to subprime and other alternative mortgage products that crashed our economy. And responsible low-down-payment loans are also a key to the recovery of our nation's housing market and economy.
The center calculated that to buy a house for $172,100, the median price in 2009, a family would have to save $250 a month for 14 years for a 20% down payment and 5% closing costs. For 10% down, the family would need to save for nine years, and for 5% down, the family would need to save for six years.
Lenders have already begun requiring higher down payments as well as higher credit scores. Plus, they've tightened underwriting.
The Federal Housing Administration, which continues to offer mortgages with down payments as low as 3.5%, made half the loans for residential purchases last year. The agency has significantly raised the fees it charges borrowers, but is likely to continue offering mortgages with lower down payments.
What do you think? Should homebuyers be required to put at least 20% down? Or would other changes in the mortgage process make more sense?
What will 20% do...keep them in their house? NOT.
I financed my home with a 60% down stroke , and am currently upside down in the value/equity ratio. Again, what will 20% do? Does it mean I need to walk away sooner?
This scam (Read 20% down stroke) and the other scams of tighter underwriting, etc. is just an excuse not to lend money in these uncertain times.
Bankers are bankers, they will not change until you force them into change by regulation, and the more regulation...the better.

text: I'm actually a very sensitive, introverted person. I have struggled a great deal with depression and anxiety, and I've had to find ways to pull myself out of it, which is a very difficult thing when you're in the midst of those feelings. One thing I think helps is talking about it. I think people are afraid to admit to these dark parts of themselves because they're afraid it will be perceived as weakness, but the more we realize that it's a fairly common experience, the less alone we feel. It's also important to find ways to just force yourself out of it, even if it's only temporary. That really is one of the reasons I have DeLa. She does not get hopeless. She is an eternal optimist. Some days I want nothing more than to stay in bed and drown myself in a vat of melted Ben and Jerry's, but if I have a gig that night, I put on that makeup and it forces me to look at the positive. Because that's who DeLa is. Some people think that sounds crazy. So be it. It's the crazy that works for me.
