Dec 19 2011, 2:45PM Mortgage Rates remain at record lows, both in terms of the Best-Execution interest rate as well as the costs involved in obtaining that rate.  Although the Best-Execution rate has been at 3.875% for several days, associated borrowing costs involved to obtain that rate inched slightly lower to reach a new all-time low on Friday.  The lenders who had been the most aggressively priced saw no improvements today whereas some of the middle-of-the-pack lenders lowered costs marginally, closing the gap somewhat between themselves and the market-leading lenders. Longer-dated US Treasuries continued to rally today in incredibly light volume, pushed around more by European headlines than the one piece of domestic economic data that showed Homebuilder Sentiment improving.  Despi...

New Shanghai 125-02 84th Road Kew Gardens, New York 11415 (718) 846-0125 (718) 846-0180 Has a Chinese & Japanese Kitchen that ROCKS! Free delivery! I love them. I love being a Work at Home Mom (WHAM). You get sweet foodie paradise perks. Seriously! I am sitting over here with a big cool aid grin on my face because my little ones love Chinese and Japanese food almost as much as their Mama. One of the best places to eat in Queens County is New Shanghai. They have excellent taste and service customers off of two awesome menus. I frequently order meals from both categories and have to say my fave two entrees are their Deluxe Platter of Salmon Teriyaki and their Beef Teriyaki. We are about to chow down on 'em right now. BTW, both come served with Tempura, California Rolls, Soup, Salad and R...

Cocina Latina Bar and Grill by The Silver Towers It is 12:51 EST and I am a very happy camper. I will be on my way to Remax People Realty to update my contracts. Hubby is sleeping on the futon and Stephen is taking a break from being the Minion Blur (translated: sleeping in his crib). Before I go into the office, I am going to sneak out with my laptop and head on over to one of my favorite foodie paradise spots on Queens Blvd: Cocina Latina. Lunch is from 11:30 - 3:30, so I am making a bee line for some slow roasted chicken in their famous secret sofrito sauce served with rice casserole, greens and sweet plantains. Yum! I plan on enjoying some of my favorite writers while dining out because they have wireless Internet. I love foodie paradise spots with wireless Internet access. It give...

  This foodie paradise report is inspired by my girlfriend Deborah Burroughs, an Agent/Loan Officer in Vista, CA. We enjoy sharing a lot of information about our home towns and she has just added a wonderful addition to her Volcano Plug series which you can read here. Deborah, besides supplying some wonderful photographs to take you on a virtual tour of the area, talks about the history of Oceanside and mentions several foodie paradise spots of her own with gorgeous sea scape views. I figured I give her a little New York eye candy: an interior city scape view starting with a gorgeous, kid friendly place to eat with a lot of atmosphere. Open from 11AM to 11PM every day, the Cocina Latina Bar ad Grill is located at 125-22 Queens Blvd, Kew Gardens NY 11415 (718) 577-9800. It is one of my f...

I was never much of Ghost Rider fan. Never collected the series and probably read just one or two of them. Even though I wasn't expecting much from Ghost Rider, it still feels like potential wasted. I've always been curious about the story of Marvel Comic's flame-skulled motorcycle demon. But the movie ended up being too much build-up leading to not enough payoff. It's not too much to ask that a scary-looking superhero actually gets to do some real ass kicking, but the bad guys that get thrown at him are pretty pathetic. He doesn't even get a chance to do much with his bike, other than ride it up and down a skyscraper, and even that comes off more as a showpiece rather than something that's functionally part of the action. To make up for its sparse moments of spectacle, a lot of time is...
