  1. I'm really hoping that Colour From the Dark is as good as the buzz says it is. It's so hard to find really well done films based on H.P. Lovecraft's stuff.

  2. I can tell right from the title that Colour From The Dark isn't going to be as Lovecraftian as we all assume it might be. A few reviews over at IMDB.com have already made me want to skip this one. Too bad, too.

  8. Government-Backed Loans - Government loans refer to those loans that are guaranteed by one of two federal agencies. The two types of government loans are: Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, and Veterans Administration (VA) loans. The advantage of financing using FHA loans are that they are easier to qualify for and allow a borrower to finance more of the loan amount than non-government loans. Whereas with a Conforming loan a borrower may only be able to finance 80% of the loan amount, a FHA loan allows a borrower to finance 97% of the loan amount. FHA loans are recommended for those borrowers who are first-time buyers, have little money to put down, have a short credit history, or are having trouble qualifying for a Conforming loan. The two main advantages of financing using VA loans are that the VA allows borrowers to finance 100% of the loan amount, and that, the VA only requires proof of veteran status to qualify for the loan. The only drawback to government loans is that mortgage insurance is required at all loan to values (LTV), unlike Conventional and Jumbo loans where payment of mortgage insurance is determined by the amount of equity a borrower has in his home.Check Cashing San-diego
