It's a ritual as old as the nearly 100-year-old cabins themselves. In the fall, the Lakeview Cottages at Huntington Lake are shuttered against the winter.

Millions of additional people may be able to take advantage of the new and improved first-time home-buyer tax credit now, and it's not just for first-time home buyers anymore.

Don't think this is enough to encourage people to take the plunge into home ownership when they're worried they might not have a job next week. Layoffs are still happening, unfortunately.

I agree with Joe. While millions of Americans can't find work, these cash investors swoop in and keep the speculative aspects of the market going. That's what got us all into this mess in the first place. If we want homes to be HOMES again we have to end treating SFRs and condos like slot machines. And the first place to end that gambling addiction is with the investors.

<---not a fan of any war, even price wars. Save your money folks, and just spend time together - that's probably the one thing we forget to do and is more precious than a cheap gift that will be forgotten the next week.

Right! What a monster we have created. I have not been in a Wal-mart for several years. They are loud, obnoxious and have shitty customer service where I live. (Don't know about elsewhere.)

Wait til Wal-mart puts EVERYONE out of business. Won't have much choice then, will we? Shop at Wal-mart, bank at Wal-mart, get your car fixed at Wal-mart, work at Wal-mart for peanuts and women for 33 cents LESS than peanuts....who is "big brother" now?

Nothing quite prepares you for the rough-cut diamond that is "Precious." A rare blend of pure entertainment and dark social commentary, this shockingly raw, surprisingly irreverent and absolutely unforgettable story should not be missed.

Saw it, loved it. It has true heart and great humor in balance with thought provoking poignancy. The film is a work of spiritual strength, the power of humanity charged with love of neighbor. Anyone who dismisses Precious as "depressing" or "grim" without seeing it is just not thinking and/or incapable of feeling.
