ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

I have contract on a short sale. Will the pause in the Foreclosure process cause me to loose the home?
Find out if the property has a Moratorium. Does it need judicial action before it becomes a foreclosure? Bank of America has a National Moratorium, JP Morgan and GMAC have State Moratoriums. Wells Fargo has no Moratoriums.
If the home you are under contract with has a bank that will be reviewing their process contact an attorney. If you have recently closed on a property under foreclosure contact an attorney. There is only one known case where the Bank had to pay damages not the title company.

How Fast will the Housing Market Recover. When will inventory stop having to be deeply discounted?
When will housing inventory stop having to be deeply discounted? When will the confidence return?
The National Association of Realtors October home index figures are in and sales are up 4.3% from the previous month.
It is still 20% lower than a year ago which reflects that is it after the Tax credit and the housing market is recovering on its own power.
Given the fact that there are historically low interest rates, deeply discounted properties and low consumer price inflation we continue to see a slow rise.
The huge recovery is not likely to happen. J P Morgan and GMAC are pausing foreclosures to review the process. The Buyers confidence level is a driving factor too. The economy, the job market and comfort levels are keeping the recovery slow.

Connecting the spaces!
Creating and posting has never been a problem for me. It is connecting them so that they are all happy and not to being abandonded that keeps me going to one workshop to another. I have probably logged in 48 plus hours of training. Just not enough explaining. Pretty sure I have 4 blog spaces out there. It would be nice to connect the spots-dots-and spaces!
Adding an automatic updating news letter link...now that is going to be a one on one session I afraid.

Daylight Savings Time Ends Nov. 7th
I just noticed last week at 6:30 a.m. during my morning car pool that there was no sunrise coming up over the Harris Teeter. The street lights were the only light at the corner of Ballantyne Commons and Mckee Rd. The policeman at the crosswalk was just a flashing light and dark shadow! Yikes, I really dislike driving in the dark. Was it that I needed another cup of coffee or to have my vision checked. The head lights of the of coming cars were blurring my vision. Oh and the Rain. We need the rain, but I take pride in an unblemished driving record and this was not the easy commute that I remember. What was going on!?! Where was my sunrise welcome. The beautiful cloud formations and pink/yellow light behind them.
Hmm-mmm, it must be that Fall Equinox or the Winter Solstice.
Nov. 7th at 2 a.m. we all get to sleep an hour later and I will have my sunrise back!

Book Report
Like reading and sharing what you’ve read? Calling this a cyber book chat shows my age. Not sure if the terms have changed since the last time I checked.
I like Historical Fiction. Stories about an actual event in history that become the scene for a characters life. Even better if it is a mystery about the identity of an actual person in history which makes it a possible bibliography of sorts. Of course being a fiction it can be taken as events in this persons life that are filled in to become the chain of events that made this person famous. Even better if this person’s life is relatively unknown in literature until s/he has become famous.
Last summer was my summer of the English King Henry and his wives. No less than 300 pages each of the lives of these people who were considered born to lead. The love of this type of life and the women of their King husbands hasn’t changed much in the minds and egos of the present Kings of their castles with their children before them. Except for I would say there is way more fidelity and responsibility for these Kings to teach their children about the waring fields and consider becoming the ruler of the baseball Kingdom as well.
I have yet to go to the empires of the Romans and Greeks although I have had some history on an evil vs a good Caesar due to preparing for a trip to Italy. We have heard the biblical stories of Samson and Delilah and David and Bathsheba which could also be linked to the modern day soap operas. I am studying the Old testament a few days a month for a while thanks to the wonderful Sister Eileen. I would consider this to be the earliest beginnings of History reading and go no further. What does the Clan of the Cave bears have to support the historical accuracy of a time before a person could communicate. I guess I will have to consult an archaeologist on that one.
