Posted from: Real Estate Investing Tips FHA Suspends Flipping Rule? Not So Fast, Sparky… Did you hear about the new FHA waiver suspending the 90-day no-flip rule?

Here is the latest papercraft from Dr. Shazam of papertoy bonanza. This 4th Sparky takes him out of the usual matchstick format, and into new territory. Classic Hood Ornament territory. In the 1920's and early '30's , hood ornaments represented car style, elegance, and class. There were some chrome works of art attached to cars back in those days.Hoody Sparky

If you follow our monthly IZEA Loco celebrations, you might remember the awesome team spirit Tina displayed at March's IZEA Loco? No? You don't recall? Then you might want to revisit the post "Ted Murphy in training?" Go ahead, I'll wait. Now you remember? Well, I'm obligated to let you know Tina's at it again, and this time-a-round I'm convinced she's going to not only set a new trend in the fashion industry, but simultaneously bring social media to the forefront of all media formats. I'm not joking! Pretty soon we're going to see women--and perhaps a few men--wearing "Sparky nails all over the globe.

Ok, so playing with matches got Sparky into trouble in his two previous incarnations, but this third edition of Sparky shows him in a different light. Being a matchstick, he's been around some cigarette smokers, and it looks like he's picked up the habit for himself-Dr. ShazamPapertoy Bonanza

I got an award recently from some great doggie friends at Barking Loud!!! I want to apologize for taking so long to post it, but my mom is working too much, so she is having trouble helping me blog!... A feline perspective in photos and anecdotes of animal friends around the world!

BIRD: Buff, what's Sparky been up to lately?BUFFALO: Fookin' up, as usual.BIRD: What's he done now?BUFFALO: I've been waiting all week for my first DVD from NetFlix. It finally occurred to me that bonehead might've intercepted it. Sure enough. The flaming twit didn't even bother to read the address label. He sent it back, because HE hadn't ordered it.BIRD: Have you properly chastised him, then?BUFFALO: No, it does no good. He just stands like a plank, inscrutable as a bleedin' Buddha. Doesn't matter if you praise him and give him a dog biscuit or smack him upside the head with a snow shovel. No reaction. It's inhuman, like.BIRD: What about his cooking? Has it improved at all?BUFFALO: Not a bit. Every day when he returns from work he nooks some kind of vile concoction in the nooker. No idea

Sparky was a stray, who had terrible mange. With treatment, his skin is now free of mites, but his adopters returned him because he does not like their other dog, and needs more training than they can provide.Sparky is 2- 4 years old and is neutered, and is in need of a home where his owners will learn to train him to have good manners. He cannot be placed with other dogs, children or cats, and a fenced-in yard with adopters with breed experience will be given preference. Sparky likes to play fetch, so you had better be as tireless as he is!!Currently, Sparky is being cared for by a foster home through the Bull Terrier Club of New England.For more information about Sparky, click here!

Like to see how websites rate against each other while you browse the Internet?Alexa, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, has been providing information on web traffic since 1996. Once you install the Alexa Toolbar, you can then view traffic trends, reach and rank, of any site you visit on the Internet. The toolbar then feeds traffic data of the sites you visit back to Alexa. There are billions of people on the Internet and only a minor portion of them have the Alexa Toolbar. This population provides a “sample” of users that Alexa uses to measure web activity and page popularity.But their toolbar has only been available for PC users with Internet Explorer. For example, here’s the My Digital Life Alexa Toolbar which previously available for Internet Explorer users only. Macintosh and PC users with Firefox have been left out of the Alexa sample… until now. An Alexa toolbar called “Sparky” for Firefox was finally released last week.Why should you care about the Alexa Toolbar? Most peo

Finally, we have an Alexa Toolbar for FF… and it’s way better than it’s IE counterpart. The trends, reach and traffic rank are displayed on the bottom right part ( on the status bar) and the Related Links pop out as an extra menu item. I wonder why they still call it a ‘Toolbar’ Sparky Features: Related Links: Find sites that are similar to the one you are currently visiting. Traffic Trend: A sparkline showing the traffic trend from the last four months. Reach Meter: A neat little indicator that shows the site’s Reach. Traffic Rank: Shows the current site’s Alexa Traffic Rank. Get it now Share This

Firefix is the browser of choice of millions of the savvy Internet users around the world. But one of the astonishing shortcoming of firefox has been the non-availability of the Alexa Toolbar, which helps to increase the traffic statistics of a website.There have been a few webtools as a replacement of Alexa Toolbar. One of them being SerachStatus, a firefox add-on, already discussed on this blog here.Now there a toolbar for firefox also, which has been announced officially by Alexa. It is more of a status bar than a tool bar, which shows traffic graphs in your status bar. You can download Sparky for firefox here at http://www.alexa.com/

Finalmente ya existe una extensión oficial para Alexa, a tomado su tiempo… pero ha llegado. Alexa ha estado culpando a Mozilla por no ofrecerle su apoyo… alegando que cualquier persona puede desarrollar una extensión. La nueva extensión de Alexa tiene las siguientes características: - Acoplamientos relacionados: Encuentra los sitios que son similares que las que se están visitando actualmente. - Tendencia del tráfico. - Indicador del tráfico de la Web. - Indicador del tráfico de los últimos 4 meses.

“To have someone of his stature say hi to me was awesome,” he said. “I’m a nobody.” That’s Heap talking about Ken Griffey Junior who congratulated him on his second All-Star selection in as many years. I think that’s one of the things I like about Heap, he’s so unassuming and pretty modest.

There may be many ways to check the popularity and average traffic of a site or blog but till now I have found Alexa to be the most accurate and easy to access. Alexa stats not only tell you about the average traffic of a site but also tell you if its listed in DMOZ (the biggest human-edited web directory) or not. Moreover it also gives you information about your site traffic geographically. Get Alexa Stats Right in Your Firefox Browser Alexa makes a site’s stats graph using the information it gathers through the Alexa browser toolbar. Until now the toolbar was only available for Internet Explorer but thanks to Sparky now you can have an Alexa toolbar for firefox too. I have been using SearchStatus till now to check on-the-fly Alexa stats for different blogs and sites but now with an official Alexa toolbar for firefox on the loose I guess its time to say bye bye to SearchStatus.

I’ve seen this interview meme going around but tried to avoid it for as long as I could. I finally decided to give in and Sparky Duck was kind enough to give me some mellow questions. For those who know him, you understand why I was worried, right? LOL! We have heard all about how great your husband is. Now come on, tell us all one thing/habit that he does that drives you batty? That’s an easy one. The one thing that drives me crazy is that he takes so long to get ready to go out. This doesn’t even have to be for a special occasion, we could just be going out to the shopping mall. I’m able to get myself and both girls ready, pack the bags, lock up the house, load the car, and we still end up having to wait for him. What’s up with that? You live in paradise. What are three things that are bad about living there? The main one would be the high cost of living. Gas is still over $3/gallon and a 3 bedroom house with 1400 squarefootage living space is going for

BUFFALO: Birdy, you dare?BIRD: Roger, old Fartful Dodger. So you survived the armpit invasion?BUFFALO: Just barely. Sparky saved my bacon. He was awakened from his beauty sleep by the excruciating screams, which pissed him off no end.BIRD: Blimey, what happened?BUFFALO: He poked his head out of his bedroom door to see what all the hub-bub was about and said "What's with the decibels, man? I've got to get up in fourteen hours to go to work!"BIRD: Sounds rather aggressive for the Sparkster.BUFFALO: I'll say. You could've tickled my ass with a feather and bowled me over with a large grapefruit, not to mention that it scared the pudding out of those marauding celebs. Sparkers looks a perfect fright when he first regains consciousness - like the Crypt Keeper's doppelganger on angel dust. Causes pregnant women to spontaneously abort and grown men to faint in coils.BIRD: Sacre bleu merde! So then what happened?BUFFALO: One of the celebs had an acid flashback. Thought Sparky was the cada

EIGHT THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SPARKY. WARNING ADVISORY: NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE JUST HAD BREAKFAST. MAY ONLY BE READ BY MINORS ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT SPARKY: OK, here goes, man. First thing you didn't know about me is I got a very small bladder. BUFFALO: Jeez. The WHOLE world knows that, Sparkers. Give us sumfin' truly deeply revelatory. SPARKY: I love the smell of Napalm. Got some in my wardrobe for a rainy day. BUFFALO: Fookin' Nelly! You really are a weird fookeroo, y'know that? Next. SPARKY: I lost my virginity at the age of ten when I saved a 17-year-old brunette cheerleader from treading on a pitch fork just outside Pasadena. Name of Trudy. Last thing she said to me was, "Now beat it, punk shite". If only I could find her now... BUFFALO: Getting better. Next. SPARKY: I cheated on Cindy with all the other dolls. Don't matter any more... now she's melted, man. BUFFALO: Oh, Sparkers. That roaming rod of yours'll get you into big trouble one of these days. Go on
