Uncle Joe's BBQ- OMG!

The fun with BBQ sauce starts here!

Most Texans that love grilling will tell you that they make the best BBQ sauce in the world. But, some of us need a place to start. That is exactly where Uncle Joe’s BBQ “Sauce-in-a-Bag” comes in pretty handy.

Uncle Joe’s BBQ “Sauce-in-a-Bag” is ready for you to start your own family recipe. Each package is perfectly portioned for you to just add ketchup and water… that is all it takes for perfect BBQ sauce in four minutes.

Of course, you can add your own touch to it if you want to have some fun. Maybe add a little molasses to make it sweeter, a little cayenne pepper to make it spicier, or even for a richer flavor add some beef bouillon granules. It is all up to you and how you like it. Even adding more or less ketchup and water changes the flavor. Go ahead, experiment and make it your own.

Uncle Joe’s BBQ “Sauce-in-a-Bag” is sweet yet spicy, and it comes in three great blends:

Original • Chipotle • Habanero

Our unique spice blend for BBQ sauce came from the idea of us wanting to create our own great BBQ sauce. Why bottle it up when you can mix it up fresh with Uncle Joe’s BBQ “Sauce-in-a-Bag” in four minutes!

America's Best Housing Markets For Investors

Francesca Levy, 09.10.10, 07:30 PM EDT

Why some cities, like Austin and Raleigh, look like great buys right now.

Home buyers and sellers can take heart: Companies of all stripes are investing in real estate again. While the actions of big Wall Street funds and global corporations might seem to matter little to families choosing cities and towns in which to live, consumers can learn a lot by following which investing markets heavy hitters are focusing on--and which ones they're avoiding.

The housing health of a city is affected by a lot of factors including the jobs picture and the rate of vacancies and foreclosures. But some cities where home prices have been battered look like great buys for investors, a good sign that in spite of deep declines, they might turn around dramatically.

Two years ago the idea of putting money behind real estate ventures seemed too risky for even the most reckless of capitalists. But investor skittishness about the real estate market is slipping away, and speculators are seeing value in distressed markets.

But in a housing market this volatile, it can be hard to tell when low sales prices on property indicate a market that has bottomed or one with little hope of a turnaround any time soon. We asked Cary, N.C.-based Local Market Monitor (LMM), a real estate research firm, to identify the markets that were the best bet for residential real estate investing.

In Pictures: America's Best Housing Markets For Investors

Raleigh, N.C.; McAllen, Texas; and Austin led the list. These cities didn't see the same dramatic run-ups in prices as many Sand State cities did between 2001 and 2006. As a result, they were spared a corresponding bust. They are also buoyed by a mix of jobs that's weighted toward growth industries like government and education.

"Markets with a high percentage of jobs in those categories tend to be more or less stable markets," says LMM president Ingo Wizner. "Then there are the categories you want to stay away from, like construction and finance."

FHA CHANGES OCT 4th 2010

FHA Mortgage Insurance fees changing Oct 4th

If you're in the market to purchase and considering or relying on FHA backed mortgage loan, keep in mind, the mortgage insurance premium fees will be changing effective October 4, 2010.

The upfront mortgage insurance fee is being reduced from 2.25% to 1.0%, while the monthly fee will increase from 0.55% to 0.90%.

That means buyers using FHA, will as of Oct 4th, have a smaller loan value amount (due to the reduced upfront mortgage fee) but higher monthly payments (due to the increased monthly fee). According to mortgage brokers, this may negatively affect purchasing power by about $10,000. Not a tremendous amount, but something to keep in mind.

For all loan amounts, the impact of the increase in the Mortgage Insurance Premium is equal to between a .375% to .500% increase in interest rate. The effect on annual payments for loan amounts in all ranges can be seen in the graph above.

It is important to understand that if you are in the market to purchase a home or refinance, you have until October 4 to identify a property and order a case number before these new rates take effect.

Teen at home when thief kicks down door

 

SAN ANTONIO -- Every week, the News 4 WOAI Trouble Shooters track the crimes that happen in your neighborhood. This week, we're looking at home burglaries and what you can do to make your home more secure.

Ben Cantu was still a bit shaken up when he spoke to News 4 WOAI about the call he got from his 14-year-old grandson around 9:00 a.m. Monday as someone tried to break into the teen's home on the South Side.
.
"What happened was the car apparently drove into the driveway, parked right here, and the individual started beating on the front door. As he was walking to the back, he heard him start beating on the back door, " explained Cantu. ""When he couldn't open it, he started kicking it. And, at that time, my grandson went into the bathroom and shut the door."

He called 911, just as the guy kicked down the door.

"He had completely busted the door," Cantu added. "We had to replace the whole frame."

The burglar ended up getting away with a laptop computer.

His grandson wasn't hurt, but it hit way too close to home for Ben.

"This was terrifying for me," Cantu told News 4 WOAI.

 

 

What you can do to secure your home

News 4 WOAI's crime prevention expert, Gilbert de la Portilla says there are things we can do to make it very hard for burglars to get in.

Windows. Gilbert says you should make sure your windows are locked. If possible, replace older, single-pane windows with double-pane windows. It will take more than a tap to break them.

Bushes. Gilbert also recommends you trim down the bushes next to the windows. Don't give a crook a place to hide while they try to break into your home.

Lighting. Adding outside lighting is also a good idea. Thieves don't want to be in the 'spotlight' when they are trying to steal your belongings.

Locks. Gilbert says you should use deadbolt locks on your doors with strong strike plates. He recommends you take out short screws and install 2.5 inch to 3 inch wood screws.

Peepholes. It's best if you can look before you unlock. If you can't see who is at your door from a window, then install a door viewer. Gilbert recommends you get one that has really wide view, such as

Door Scope.
