Today's Cool Site...from komando.com

Get crime reports for your area

These days, we think a lot about online crime. We worry about identity theft. We worry about phishing and other types of scams. But let’s not forget about real-world crime.
It's helpful to know the crime that occurs in your area. You can take steps to reduce your chances of being a victim. Or you might be scouting out a place to move.
CrimeReports makes it easy to track crime. This Website pulls crime reports from police departments. The crime reports are put on a searchable map.
Select a geographic area and a length of time. You will see all the reported crimes committed in that period. Just be aware that not all police departments participate. So you may not see much for your area.
The crimes can be filtered by several categories. And CrimeReports can send you e-mail reports regularly. In addition, there is an option for listing sex offenders. You can quickly see who is living in your area.

I checked for sex offenders in my area, there were four within walking distance of my house, two of them in the same house.  I was really shocked! In the area where I work there are more than thirty.  You cannot be too careful.  Click on the site below to check your neighborhood.

 MORTGAGE RATES
30-year mortgages rates around 4.75%!  If your mortgage rates are over 6%, definitely look into refinancing.  The lowest rate ever was 4.71% in December 2009, the lowest since Freddie Mac began keeping records in 1971.  15-year rates hit 4.17% in June 2010, the lowest ever.  They are hovering around 4.2% now.  I refinanced at 4.25% back a few months ago.  Can't beat these rates and they may never be this low again.  Back in the early 1980s interest rates were in the 14% to 18% range for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

This is a solid strategy for stockpiling toilet paper.  I found this post on Dealseekingmom.com

The Toilet Paper Principle: Stock-Up Price For TPT

Let's talk toilet paper for a moment. It's definitely a necessity, and I personally find it to be one of the most difficult items to stockpile. Deals have been somewhat scarce lately, and in addition, it's just darn hard to figure out whether you're really getting bargain on it. With double rolls and ultra packs, etc., how do you know if you're paying a reasonable price or not?
Reader Beth left this tip on my recent Target and CVS Savings post that makes it super easy to tell if a sale price on toilet paper is worthy of stocking up or not. It shall forever be known as the "Toilet Paper Principle" here on Deal Seeking Mom!
Look at the front bottom of the toilet paper package to determine the total square feet. Now insert a decimal point in this number two places to the left. If the cost of the package minus coupons is less than or equal to this figure, it's a decent deal -- basically $0.01 or less per square foot!
Example:
TP #1 = 400 sq. ft.; price = $6; stock-up price $4, so not a fabulous deal....
TP #2 = 650 sq. ft.; price = $5; stock-up price $6.50, so definitely a bargain!
Thanks so much, Beth, for sharing this simple concept!
