I just read an extremely informative article about American Residential Law Group. The article discusses the importance of hiring a lawyer that specializes in real estate law and foreclosures in regards to new lending programs options that are now available. The new lending programs can be very confusing to someone that has very little or no knowledge about these types of businesses.
Many people are having a difficult time with their finances, especially their mortgage, in this type of economy. Loan modification is a great choice to assist people that are in financial hardship with their current situation, but again.. it’s important to know which companies are ethical and which are not. Hiring a real estate law attorney is the way to go.

So, if you’ve got an iPod Touch or an iPhone and a WP blog, download it immediately!
Moviestorm is enabling a new generation of amateur film-makers to realize their visions.It offers easy, affordable animation tools that can produce sophisticated high-quality films on practically no budget. After several years in development, Moviestorm has demonstrated that home movie-making needn’t be limited to cheap hand-held cameras and clips of the kids goofing around. Its virtual movie studio allows users to break free of the limitations of the real world, and allows them to direct, film, edit and distribute 3D animated movies without any knowledge of animation techniques or 3D modelling. And best of all, it’s free, and comes without any copyright restrictions.
Iain Friar, known as IceAxe, is one of Moviestorm’s many successful film-makers.His short film, Clockwork, a dystopian vision of a totalitarian Britain after a Soviet invasion in the 1980s, is winning accolades and awards around the world, most recently the audience prize at the Atopic Festival in France and the Grand Prize at the Machinima Expo.Clearly influenced by both 1984 and A Clockwork Orange, with a visual style that evokes both Communist era propaganda posters and more recent animated movies such as A Scanner Darkly, it is a stark, powerful film that belies its modest origins.
Iain, who’s 42, works in marketing, and started making movies just 18 months ago. “I’ve always been a hands-on person, in music, sport, and everything else,” he says. “I thought it would be fun to shoot a music video, but I’m not the most technical of people, and it seemed extraordinarily hard. I remember when computer games started using in-game animation to tell the story instead of video clips, and this interested me, especially now that game technology has become so sophisticated. So I bought a book, Machinima for Dummies, which had Moviestorm on the CD, and I was hooked. I liked Moviestorm because it did what I was looking for, even though I didn’t really know what I was looking for at the time, and the Moviestorm community was very supportive. I initially made comedies, but I could see that the movies people respected were more dramatic, so it seemed that was the direction to go in.”
He spent four months working on Clockwork, and then the same again on his next short, Cloud Angel, a steampunk thriller set on board an airship.Apart from the voice acting, he made the entire film himself at his home in Basingstoke, England.“I’m lucky that my friends are so willing to step up to the mike and read my silly scripts!” he laughs. His next film is Gridlock, a science fiction comedy which he is co-producing with another successful Moviestorm director, James Thorpe.For this, they’ve stepped up the production costs a notch: they hired a recording studio and got the local amateur dramatic group to do the voice acting.
Iain is realistic about his future, though.“Am I ambitious? Yes. Do I want to keep it as just a hobby? Well, probably yes, because I imagine that if it became a full time activity, the fun might go out of it. I make movies as escapism. That said, I think that this industry would be really interesting to work in, because it’s embryonic; I’m not sure what direction it will go in. It’s exciting!”
Moviestorm’s CEO, Jeff Zie, is hugely enthusiastic and supportive.“Iain and the many other Moviestorm users are an inspiration to us all,” he says. “We’re really proud that we’re giving talented people like this the tools they need to unleash the creative potential they never knew they had, and to produce these wonderful films.”

It has been one busy week! I can’t believe I haven’t posted in here in that long! I was in training for another skill at work last week and had no access to a computer – which was torture. It’s also “finals” time at school so I have been very busy with getting things under control in that department. And finally, I had to take time out to enjoy the midnight showing of New Moon with my sister and niece the other night. We had a blast! and the movie was great too.
So, I have a giveaway coming up… stay tuned.. I willl be posting it later today or tomorrow!
I am going to support all of the WAHM’s when purchasing holiday gifts this year! Other than when shopping for my kids, that is. I don’t think they would appreciate homemade toys as much as store bought, but I will have to see what’s available. I am surfing Etsy right now and already have great gift ideas for several people! I will also be checking out all of the WAHM threads on this site.
Oh, and if you’re planning on doing the same thing, please don’t forget about my wonderful mother-in-law.. she is on Etsy too and has beautiful hand-painted items for sale. She is just starting her own website too! It’s not totally up and running, but it’s a start.
I hate being so busy that I don’t even have time to update my own website! But I am one busy mama. I feel very overwhelmed this week because not only do I have a literary analysis research paper for my Literature class, but just found out that I a project to do for Psychology in which I have to interview a Psychologist (not a Psychiatrist or social worker). The professor gave five questions we have to ask and we have to come up with five more (the creativity of our questions is also graded). My main concern is – where am I going to find a Psychologist to interview? Call one up from the yellow pages and ask if I can interview them for a college course project? Oh, Lord.. please give me the time and energy to get through this semester (just so I can move onto another fun-filled one).
What are your kids going to be for Halloween this year? Post pictures here so everyone can see!! Do you have a really cool pumpkin that you’re proud of? Post those pictures too.
We still have to carve our pumpkins today. Yes, we are very behind in our Halloween activities this year. It’s been a very busy week. But that shouldn’t stop you from being the first one to post!
I’m feeling a little overwhelmed about school at the moment. I have so much to do over the next few weeks! I have a literary research paper to write for my Literature class – including a prospectus and a bibliogrpahy page which are both due on November 8th. I have to choose my subject this week and we just got the directions today. I also have a concept paper due in my Child Psychology class 1 week from today. This is in addition to the normal course work I have to complete for the week. I feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack! It’s not so easy to fit this stuff in between work and family. I’m sure it will be fine and I will get it all done, but I may need a valium before it’s all over (kidding, of course).
