  Edgewood Park New Haven Connecticut     New Haven Connecticut is full of many great parks and Edgewood Park is one of the great treasures in the City of New Haven.          Located in the neighborhood of Westville, it is one park  that I had not had an opportunity to visit.      Yesterday while driving to Westville down Chapel Street which borders one side of Edgewood Park there was a group of children standing along one of the ponds found inside the park.  They were watching a large family of geese and ducks swimming with their baby ducklings and goslings.       After about a half hour of taking in this peaceful and serene setting I ventured further through the trails of the park.       There was a wonderful playground area and many picnic and park benches where you can can sit and w...

Driving home earlier this evening from a New Haven short sale listing appointment took me through the Downtown New Haven area. Turning the corner of Elm Street onto College Street the sun was glistening through the billowing trees lined along The New Haven Green.  I drive through Downtown New Haven often but today something drew me in to the beauty of my surroundings on this lovely warm summer day.  There were people playing frisbee, riding their bikes and walking along the sidewalks enjoying the warmth and sunshine.  Since it was late afternoon there were plenty of open parking spaces on the street so I pulled into the first available spot, grabbed my camera and walked across the street to snap a few quick shots of The New Haven Green.

Starring Off The Summer Season- A Visit To Lighthouse Point Park In Morris Cove New Haven CT       With summer officially here, Lighthouse Point Park  in Morris Cove New Haven CT was filled to the brim on Memorial Day.  Cars were being turned away from entering the park during the early afternoon forcing park goers to find parking along the side streets.   Living near the park it was quite a sight to watch as car after car would line the side streets filled with people unloading their coolers, umbrellas and lounge chairs to make their way into the park by foot to have some fun in the sun. After our own little cookout in our backyard my husband and I decided to take a walk to the park to check out all the activity taking place.  We were amazed to see how much traffic was backed up leadin...

I think I've written about utilization, the relationship between the balances and credit limits on credit cards expressed as a percentage, for as long as I've owned a computer. But this topic has legs as everlasting as the Gobstopper which shares the adjective. So, for the first time in 2010 and what has to be the 100th time overall, here's how utilization is calculated. First off, utilization 101...Mark has a credit card with a $1,000 credit limit. That is, his credit reports show a $1,000 credit limit. His current balance as reported on his credit reports is $500. The utilization of that card is 50% because the balance ($500) divided by the credit limit ($1,000) equals .50 or 50%. Now we can get started. It's important to note that the figures I use for my next few examples HAVE to be...

Ok so you joined ActiveRain and you have a blog (fun aren't they!).  But do you know where the word Blog comes from?  It's a pretty funny sounding word.  The first Blogs weren't called Blogs at all.  They started out being called web logs, presumable because they were logs being kept on the web.  Well in our society we like to make most everything smaller and quicker so web log became BLOG. ☺ MattToll Free: 888-NCFIXER (623-4937)Toll Free Fax: 888-FAX-4020 (329-4020)Local: 860-282-6181330 Roberts Street 4th FloorEast Hartford, CT 06108 credit repair company

2009 A Credit Year in Review Part 1 2009 was a historical year in the world of consumer credit. We saw property values decline, lenders stop lending, credit card issuers crank up their abusive behavior, a new Federal law passed and a historically high number of credit related lawsuits. The following is a brief synopsis of 2009 and what consumer should do to put themselves in the best possible position for 2010.Many of us received a letter (or letters) from our credit card issuers with similar messages;· Your credit line has been lowered to reflect your spending· Your account has been closed because we believe your card is being used in a manner inconsistent with your Cardmember agreement· Given the size of your credit line and the way you have historically used your account, we have adj...
