Tarps Plus Helps Philippine Storm Victims with Tarps
2010-11-03
Heavy rainstorms have been taking the entire world by storm. There are storms in the Philippines that have left people completely homeless and without nothing at all. The leading U.S. tarp supplier Tarps Plus sent tarps to the stricken area but much more is needed. Those who are preparing for seasonal thunder and rain storms should look into canvas or poly tarps right away.
The fact that poly tarps and some canvas tarps are waterproof is one of the greatest aspects that can be found. When those storms hit, there could be many leaks on the roof that have yet to be discovered. ...
Medical Marijuana in Nursing Homes
2010-11-03
Although the elderly account for only 12.7 percent of the nationwide population, they consume roughly a third of total prescription medications and about 40 percent of all over-the-counter medicine, according to a 2006 study in Clinical Geriatrics. Side effects from taking large amounts of powerful pills many nursing home residents consume can be severe, and sometimes even constitute significant cases of nursing home abuse because of overmedication and lack of real treatment leading to injuries such as bed sores.
Families of those in nursing homes may discover the quantity ...

2010-11-03
The Attorney General of Arizona, Terry Goddard, has issued an official notice to people across the state to be on the lookout for unscrupulous salespeople offering do-it-yourself living trust kits that are oftentimes both unnecessary and financially risky. At an average of $1,500 apiece, this is a very lucrative con for the scammers and a big loss for the victims.
The high volume of such living trust-type products has led the Attorney General's office to deem them "mills," a name indicative of a cookie-cutter approach that is focused on just pumping out sales. They have ...

Foreclosure Mix Up Causes Borrower to Consider Bankruptcy
2010-11-03
A San Antonio man profiled in a recent WOAI-TV segment has experienced a bizarre path to the foreclosure process. Roque De Leon claims that his original $35,000 mortgage, secured in 2002, multiplied tenfold when Chase purchased the mortgage from Washington Mutual in 2008 and somehow tacked a zero on the end of his account balance. "Chase started rejecting my $350/month payments, and demanded $2,000 per month," De Leon explained through a translating friend. Before the confusion had been cleared up, the bank initiated foreclosure proceedings and he was at risk of losing ...
