As you can see by the graph we were averaging about 100 closed sales per month and about the same amount of pending sales, BUT in August there was a serious increase in purchase activity.  With interest rates at historic lows, Investors are gaining confidence that now is the time to make a move.  Other charts show signs the the deep housing values slide is over and in many areas they are beginning to stablize.

auburn: Help keep our kids off drugs! - 09/10/10 04:26 AM
Many kids start drug addiction at home, at a friend's, neighbor's or relative.  There is a cornacopia of precription drugs that can be abused in most household medicine cabinets.  Share this information with everyone you know. 
Safely discard unused drugs and raise awareness.   Caution seniors to let you know, if their prescriptions are disappearing.  We all witnessed the scene on "Deadliest Catch", it could be happening closer to you than you think.  Discuss this with your family and see if someone you know needs help. Getting help early saves lives and futures.
