The frenzy I see at the looming expiration of the $8,000 1st time Buyers' Tax Credit has me revisiting some thoughts I have had for a few years.

The Raleigh News and Observer has unveiled their new site.

The stairs. The staircase was not endowed with hand-carved balusters or tacked-on mass-millwork MDF trim. It was not a dramatic sweeping complex curve of exotic woods.
