Holy crap. Things got WAY out of control here in Florida. Wages stayed flat for years while the housing market skyrocketed here. The only folks buying homes (and there were alot) were folks that brought alot of money from up north after they sold their home in New York or wherever or speculators would invest heavily hoping to make a quick buck. Actually, I hope the people that the speculators that drove the price up really suffer financially. According to major newspapers here in Florida, this may even trigger a recession.
What I am really getting at here is that I hope for a market correction.

Sell and Rent Back

Myself and my Mum have lived in our house for 25 years. My parents started buying the house back in 1985 and in the early 1990’s during recession and the house coming into negative found themelves on a government iniative scheme which allowed my parents to sell the house to a housing association. This was all well and good and we have been tenents of the housing association for the previous 18 years always paying the rent on time with no issues, taking pride in our home… our home is our life!

This morning we have recieved a letter which tells us that our property needs reviewing and will be done so next week (very quick moving from an association which normally takes weeks to send out plumbers or electricians!!)… with that we were a little confused and worried so my mum has contacted the Housing Association who have in so many words told us they want to rehouse us.
Me and my Mum are devestated, this place has always (for 25 years) been our home and we never thought as ‘assured tenents’ this would ever happen to us or beable to happen to us.

We are just looking for some general advice…. how is it possible for this company to be able to do this after 25 years living in this place? also the likleyhood is as i am no longer a dependant they could re-house just my mum into a one bedroom flat… any information would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

I fell in love with a herstyler straightener I found online

http://www.amazon.com/HerStyler-Tattoo-Ceramic-Straightener-Straightening/dp/B0029MV27C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1242948479&sr=1-3

It’s amazing right? beautiful even. But since I had never heard of the brand I’ve been researching like crazy the past few days. I have found either REALLY GREAT AMAZING reviews or ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE reviews on this brand of straighteners.

I’ve read things about the on/off switch breaking off, the straightener not turning on at all after a few months, the ceramic cracking for no reason, the straightener not even working, the ceramic turning brown, etc..etc.. things that would not make you want to spend so much $$$ on a straightener..then a bunch of stories of how “i thought i was still okay because I had my 1 year warranty” and some people ” AND they even offered to do my hair for FREE any time I want!!!” but then they realize that the emails on the herstyler website are fake and the customer service people are assholes that won’t give you your money back. Oh and as for the people who were offered to get their hair done anytime they want…well they realized the people working at the mall kiosk were long gone…

but THEN there’s the reviews on how this is THE BEST straightener, even better than the CHI, how it leaves your hair looking super smooth and pretty and it lasts like that for days even if it’s humid. That it’s way better than any straightener they’ve ever used and it only broke because they’re boyfriend dropped it once but even that was after using it roughly (and dropping it a lot) for 5 years, otherwise it would still be like new AND that they plan on getting a new one but with the same brand…

So I’m stuck. I’ve read so many good/bad reviews, I have no idea what to choose. Plus all the reviews were for Herstyler but not for this exact straightener. I’ve looked and looked and couldn’t find any reviews for this straightener except some girl who said it’s been working great for years…but then again she wanted to sell it to me over ebay for 80$ with a 3 day return policy…3 days? no thank you… The most I’ve ever spent on a straightener is $50, but I REALLY LOVE the design this one has. So I want to buy it but I also want it to last me a few years. What do you recommend?

P.S. Please also if you know of any other straighteners or flat irons that have cool designs on them let me know so I can find them online. If I can find other straighteners with really cool designs (not just zebra stripes or cheetah spots..I’ve seen those too much), then it’ll help me forget about this straightener and move on to the other cool-y designed one that doesn’t have so many mixed reviews.

Thank you so much for all your help, and yes I will choose a Best Answer if you providereally good insight or another really amazingly designed straightening iron..or both
P.P.S. Oh! I forgot! I don’t have crazy curly hair. My hair is just really thick and long, and gets really wavy and frizzy. I’ve also never been that great at styling my hair so a flat iron is a really quick way to make it look good. Thank u!

Hey guys Ive been saving up a little money for a motor and i have been searching around for a motor for my 1970 chevelle. The 350 that was in the chevelle was bad so im looking for something new. My 350 transmission is fine so that wont be a problem. I wont be taking this motor to the track just as a daily driver…….occasionally i want to have some fine with it as well and burn some rubber. Ive pretty much narrowed it down to 2 350 motors. The first ones is a 2 bolt main……ive been emailing this guy and these are the details he has given me. Both these motors are rebuilt motors.

50 specs;1980 2 bolt block,arp studs on main caps,eagle street/strip balanced rotating assembly,5140 steel rods with floating pins length 5.7″,eagle cast crank with .092 radii on rod & main journals,rearseal & snout for increased strength,kieth black signature series pistons hypereutectic alloy bored 0.030 -5cc flat top,clevit 77 rod & main bearings all standard size,summit harmonic damper with engraved timing marks, comp cam true roller chain,sealed power high volume oil pump 60 psi & arp oil pumpdrive shaft,milodon steel braided dipstick tube,g.m performance parts vortec cylinder heads 170cc intake runner 1.94″ int.1.50″exh.,stock springs .480 max lift,g.m stock length puch rods,crane hydraulic cam & lifters .480 lift int.&exh. 228 deg duration @.050,g.m performance stock self aligning rocker arms 1.5 ratio,edelbrock performer rpm airgap vortec,billet crank pully,i will include a holly 3310 750 cfm vacume secondary carb with a quick change secondary.u will need to purchase a 3310 fuel line,synthetic oil mobil 1 10-w30 or valvoline,6.5 inch powervalve for the carb,i recommend at least a 3k stall converter,i have a huges 21-2300 stall for $100.00 i dont know how it will performe on this moter i never tried it ive used a 4k stall on this moter,i have a tci converter 4k stall with anti ballon plates for $500.00,u will need a trans cooler also.i will sell the moter for $1500.00 with the 3310 carb,ill sell the big block 454 & trans for 1000.00 it does need new freeze plugs,it wont have the power like the 350 lol i ran 13.17 @100mph with a 1.70sec 60 foot with micky t et streets & 4.10 gear in my s10 on motor thats almost the same as my race 468 bbc lol.IN ROSWELL it will run 12.80—–but i can pullit back out if u r serious & have cash.i can also install & tune it for 350.00,but u cant forget about the driveline im sure u have one we will need to change the front yoke.

(this is another email the same guy sent me)

for your auto u must!!!run a minimum stall speed connverter of 3000 rpm stall or the moter will stall out when u put it in gear.,i would run an aftermarket trans trans cooler,your trans should hold up if it has low miles on it if not i can rebuild yours.any 4 barrel carb will work from 600 cfm to 750cfm weather its double pump or vacume secondary as long as its tuned right,. i use the 750double pump just to be extra safe so the moter wont go lean with nos.this moter also requires 90 octane fuel with 34-36 degres timing.i built this motor in 2004,I DONT BELIVE IN CRATE MOTERS!this isnt my first build,i have been building since 1989,A.H.E. does my machining to my specs then i assemble them.this 355 cid has about 5k on the odo or less,i have driven & raced it in pheonix twice with a 600 cfm vacume secondary holly carb with 72 primary jets& 32 degrease of timing with 90 octane it ran 12.72 @ 105 with a 3.42 gear at that time, now i run 4.10 gears but this is not good for freeway driving just good for dragracing,so a 3.42-3.73 gear would be ideal.u will need headers, i have a set for 100.00,u will need plug wires, distributer cap and roter,an after market coil & moduel are highly recommended,i can provide u with a stock distributer thats in good used shape and that will get u going just add your wires

Here is the other motor that i am interested in.
http://elpaso.en.craigslist.org/pts/1335199718.html
(and this is the info that he has given me on the motor. )

This engine is fully rebuilt and balanced. It has a two bolt block with rebored cylinders and new pistons, reconditioned rods, new cam bearings, new street grind cam with Comp Cams anti pump-up lifters. The crank is turned to .010-.010 and then polished. New melling oil pump, new chrome oil pan and rocker covers, brass soft plugs, Comp Cams roller timing chain and sprockets. The heads are completely rebuilt with bronze guides and all new seals. This engine is all ready to install and run. This engine will have great power and torque….The engine comes with a flex plate for automatic trans and the proper front damper.

So basically he would sell me the complete motor minus the intake and carbs.

So both motors are gong to cost 1500.00. So my question is………which option would be the best and why? I really appreciate all your time to sit down and actually read this whole thing. Thanks!

I’m considering buying an apartment or flat but i’ve heard that they can be harder to sell than houses. Is this true? Does having other homes in the same apartment building as yours cause a problem when trying to sell?

Okay. I am looking into purchasing collars for two of my dogs. I already have a flat collar for my Aussie, now I’m getting collars for my Lab mix and my Sheltie. If you have experience/knowledge of Martingale collars and extremely hairy breeds, please enlighten me!

1. I must get a Martingale for my mix who has a tiny head and large neck. This is already decided. I have been shopping around, though, and must order one since nowhere around sells them. My question is: Which is better (or are they the same), the buckle Martingales, or the ones without the buckle?

Just wondering–I have been looking mostly at buckle ones, but I would like to know before buying if there is going to be some major problem with that.

2. For extremely hairy breeds: any special collars you would recommend? Or is a flat collar fine? We have used flat collars with him for awhile, but I just noticed it sits ‘funny’ on top of all that fur! I dont have a problem with it, just wondering if there’s some different collar I should be using, or if a flat is just fine.

Also, I’m not sure that it matters, but for safety reasons, they only wear their collars on walks/trips.
They are chipped. I have known too many dogs (not mine, thank heavens) to die from being caught on something. I’m just not willing to risk it.

Grr, I keep thinking about this movie and I haven’t got the faintest idea of what it’s called and no one seems to know what I’m on about either.

I can remember parts of it (I think :S) but not in any particular order. Help me out here please ! It’s really annoying me now >.<

A blonde girl dies / is dying in hospital but doesn't realise that she is dead and is living in her flat, meanwhile, the flat is sold to a man and he moves in.
When he moves in, the girl is like "Hey ! What are you doing in my flat ?" and for some reason the man can see her and is really freaked out but when she fails to realise that she isn't really alive he has to show her she is, so he does.
The girl is actually dying in hospital and they have to get her ghost back to her body as quick as they can to stop her from dying and then when she wakes up, they fall in love.

Can anyone remember what this film's called ?
