Future of the Home Buying Market in Lead Air Polluted Frisco

The Frisco Real-Estate market has enjoyed national rankings in home purchase ratings and new home builds in the last 10 years. As a Frisco homeowner, I think most other Frisco residents will agree, we hope that the return of the economy will soon bring big gains in our home values as well. On the contrary, if Frisco isn't taking priority in the cities air pollution, national news may read a completely different story in years to come in which could have a very negative affect on our values moving into the future. (It's only fitting that I write this Blog entry in GREEN...things that make ya wanna say hmmmm?)

At the Frisco Chamber of Commerce years ago, when I was building my mortgage business, I met today's City Council Member, Matt Lafata. When I was concerned of my family's health in relation to the lead pollution so publicized in the Dallas Morning News recently, I contacted Matt for his thoughts. I was very pleased to receive his response. Matt also is worried of the effects and urges Frisconians to stay on top of this issue and demand the city to stay on top of it as well. You can see Matt's Blog on this by clicking here. From the beginning where time spent together at the Frisco Chamber during the time I was building my mortgage business
In my Activerain Real-Estate network, I wrote a blog with the below story:
For months now, my wife and I, residents of Frisco for over 6 years now,
have been reading about the pollution by the recycling plant near downtown
Frisco. The news is not sounding good, and I am scared to death that my
two babies, daughters 2 and 4 that were raised here, are going to have learning
issues similar to previous children that proved to have high levels of lead in
their systems.
Some of the research studies gathered regarding this topic
where thought provoking. A couple children from the same Frisco family
near downtown Frisco both had issues that could possibly be a result from the
mother transmitting lead to her babies. One daughter has had learning
disabilities attributed to her spinal meningitis and the other can't walk today
do to her spinal issues.
The citizens of Frisco, and homeowners to be in
Frisco deserve easy to reach knowledge on the future governing and real effects
of this lead pollution issue. I think that if anyone has hard evidence on
this issue, or if there is someone studied in the area in which this topic
targets, they might reflect publicly their views on this
issue.
It would be VERY heartbreaking for any family to have a child
that grows up with learning disabilities that could have been controlled from
the beginning by a better maintenance or governing of our city's pollution
levels. It hits home for me and my wife because we have two children here,
and we actually moved to Frisco because of it's attention to detail
regarding the focus and education of children.
Just a disclaimer, I am
not stating that this is a State of the City Emergency, but just wishing to hear
more educated opinions on what is going on to protect the citizens of Frisco,
and my daughters.


Please don't be afraid to voice your opinion and lets get this issue resolved sooner rather than later.

In closing, I wanted to quote Matt on a paragraph from his Blog that really brings this issue "home"...Matt said, "One source of pollution that continues to haunt Frisco and its residents however, is the Exide battery recycling plant. This plant, located just south of downtown Frisco, has been polluting the Frisco air and ground for decades. It extracts lead from old batteries and despite their best efforts in filtering systems, or whatever they do to reduce emissions, they continue to contaminate the area (and with the way the wind blows around here, who knows how far the contamination spreads)."

My friend and I were recently discussing about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.

Calf bruises are common in runners and cyclists because of the strain on the legs. Consult a doctor if the bruise does not get better with self-care measures. Seek immediate medical attention if there is severe pain and swelling along with the bruising.. About 13 billion single-use plastic bags are distributed each year in Britain: 10 per household each week. On average, we use each plastic bag for just 12 minutes, yet they take 500 to 1,000 years to break down. Then there is the climate-change aspect to think about: Plastic bags are manufactured using oil.how to quiet your home [url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycling Cloth[/url] Dry completely with a good chamois. Clean and polish all aluminum and stainless surfaces with the appropriate metal polish. Finally finish up with a coat of good wax polish on all painted and chrome surfaces. If your heart is breaking, as mine did when writing this piece, know there are ways you can take action to protect our environment both locally and globally. There are many organizations you can join or donate to. This is a great project to involve school children in because deforestation is very easy concept to grasp at younger ages.. Another relaxation technique is guided imagery, which begins with slow, deep breaths. The person imagines themselves in a comfortable and safe place before adding details, such as colors, sounds, smells and feelings. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. [url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycle Jersey[/url] Cold weather running requires wearing layers of clothing. When wind hits damp skin or cloth, it makes you feel even colder. To prevent this chilling factor, choose shirts that wick moisture away from the body. Stretching is key to preventing inflammation. Light stretching before an exercise will prepare the muscles for movement. Stop during a long activity to stretch again, as the muscles become tight and more prone to tears. The place players were routing water towards became a bathtub, at which point the designers had to devise a reason for having a bathtub underground. That reason came from the urban legend of alligators living in city sewers, so the game's lead character became a "hygiene-conscious alligator". Unlike many mobile games released by Disney, where characters from the company's films are used, Where's My Water? represents the first time that Disney has produced an original character for a mobile game.

The relative complexities of women's and men's style

Both women and men could have the pressures of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's style usually seems a lot easier. Of course, for both genders, garments and fashion choices may be just as elaborate, and there are numerous'trendy'items that can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who are able to say they frequently see people travelling in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style has a few staple goods that will exist forever - which man is likely to watch out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Choose basic cuts, colors and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why basic men's fashion is eternal

The classic man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several types for various events, but they are all common in their search for a wise, sharp look for the person. The good thing about traditional style for men is that it's effectively fashionable efficiently neat. A well-groomed gentleman can almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such apparel. A match will undoubtedly be worn to work in many careers because of the professional look it affords to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a match will undoubtedly be used to many social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This amazing flexibility that enables matches to be utilized in nearly all functions is what gives it its amazing edge and a permanent devote men's fashion.

Contemporary developments in traditional men's fashion

Whilst basic men's designs can never be replaced, it is interesting to remember that changes in men's fashion trends have brought certain common garments back to fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, especially, has had back a wide-variety of basic models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress yourself in a classic yet expensive way, placing importance on appearance and operating in a polished method. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'common fashion for men is apparent from events like the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages clothe themselves in significantly Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage bicycles - with lots of the men sporting impressive mustaches! This is just one of several types of data exhibiting the resurgence of such designs. Additionally, there are numerous sites on line which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, although certain issues with classic men's style could be brought back as new movements, the basic clothes which they are based on will never slip out of fashion.

In 2002, Brad Lynch began energetically consulting families in finding the right mortgage plan for their needs. In the beginning years, he was trained by a mentor who led by example, and this example was the epitome of integrity. Brad learned in the beginning by his mentor that many prospects may not consciously see what good intentions he has for them, do to the “wrap” many have caused w/in this industry, but always do what is right for the customer and in the end it will payoff. Integrity coupled with an energetic nature to nurture relationships, Brad has created clients for life. Through these clients for life, referrals have become the lifeblood of his business.
