| 10 Ways To Know When The Market Is Up - or Down |
|
Written by Peter G. Miller
The past year saw a slowdown in real estate markets across the country. But the term "slowdown" is relative and should be used with care: The vaunted housing "bubble" predicted by many never happened and some areas have seen price increases.

| Summer Lawns: Going Green - For the Environment |
|
Written by Stuart Lieberman
Which is better? A beautiful, green, weed-free, "golf course" sort of lawn or a slightly less green lawn, with a couple of weeds and bald spots? The answer, of course, depends entirely on your priorities. If keeping up with the Jones is important, then for you, the most perfect lawn on the block is all you will accept. But if you are starting to climb on board with all that's "green" for the environment, taking personal responsibility for keeping our environment safe, then ironically a less than perfect lawn is the right answer.

| Site to See: Move Out, Move Up |
Written by Broderick Perkins
Ing Direct bank's MoveOutMoveUp.com website is clearly a marketing tool designed to get you to shop its mortgages and other banking services. That's business.
However, with today's housing market revealing so many conditions that give cause to pause, MoveOutMoveUp.com is a nice place to step in to get out of the rain of gloom, mull things over, sip some Joe and have a little bit of fun while you are at it.

| The Oyster |
|
There once was an oyster whose story I tell, Who found that some sand had got into his shell. It was only a grain, but it gave him great pain For oysters have feelings although they're so plain.
Now, did he berate the harsh workings of fate
that brought him to such a deplorable state?
Did he curse at the government, cry for election,
And claim that the sea should have given him protection? No- he said to himself as he lay on a shell,
Since I cannot remove it I shall try to improve it.
Now the years have rolled around, as the years always do.
And he came to his ultimate destiny: stew. And the small grain of sand that had bothered him so
Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow.
Now the tale has a moral, for isn't it grand
What an oyster can do with a morsel of sand?
What couldn't we do if we'd only begin
with some of the things that get under our skin.
