Classic Car Commercials – Winning The World Over
Classic Car Commercials – Winning The World Over
Commercials are an interesting part of our lives. Of course technology has taken advertising to new heights and possibilities with what can be made to seem real, but is all created digitally.
I wished I had got a creative gene and been able to follow a career in advertising, creating jingles and commercials that people would remember. Alas, it was not to be.
But my fondness of the automobile certainly gives me the opportunity to appreciate those that have that gene.
Today’s feature, Winning the World Over by Ford Motor Company is a unique blend of old and new footage of their past commericals and autos with their line up of today.
Enjoy just as I have!

Of course, if you are just here for the real estate, you might want to jump over this post. And then again, maybe not.

Older adults welcome robot help with chores
See on Scoop.it – Georgia Tech News Events
Grandma and Grandpa would love a little robotic help around the house, a new study has found.
In a survey, a team of psychologists and engineers found that adults over age 65 felt generally positive toward the idea of having a robot help them with chores, although they preferred humans help for tasks such as getting dressed or eating. The study was designed to help robot-makers design appealing bots for seniors in the future, especially older people who want help so they are able to live in their own homes instead of moving to an assisted living facility or a relative’s house.
“There are many misconceptions about older adults having negative attitudes toward robots,” Cory-Ann Smarr, a doctoral student in psychology who worked on the survey, said in a statement. “The people we interviewed were very enthusiastic and optimistic about robots in their daily lives.”
Smarr and her colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology showed 21 people aged 65 to 93 a video about a home robot, the PR2, made by California-based robotics developer Willow Garage. Researchers then asked the study participants the tasks for which they would want robotic assistance.

The heightened demand is fueled by record-low mortgage rates. Freddie Mac reported on Thursday that the 30-year fixed-rate average was 3.59 percent. The 30-year rate has been below 4 percent all but one week this year. The 15-year fixed-rate average has lingered below 3 percent the past 11 weeks. These low rates make homeownership more affordable. Many would-be homeowners, spurred by the low rates, are seeking to buy, but they aren’t finding much to choose from. Maybe some points here for ATL Buyers!

Renters get victimized by scammers who offer low rates on houses they don’t own
See on Scoop.it – Midtown Atlanta Conversations and Condos
Now the second largest source of mortgage money in the country — Freddie Mac — is warning about a troubling new wave of post-crash fraud: scammers who illegally rent out its foreclosed and for-sale homes to unsuspecting consumers shopping for houses to lease. The bogus landlords don’t own the properties — Freddie does — and they have no right to offer them to anyone. But they use Craigslist and other online sites to advertise them to prospective tenants.
Typically the rents are tantalizing — say, $1,200 a month for a three-bedroom home in a neighborhood where similar houses command double that — and the terms are straightforward: Pay us a one-month security deposit and one or two months’ rent upfront — always in cash or money order — and we give you the keys, no questions asked. The fraud promoters sometimes change the locks on the front door, remove the lockbox installed by the realty broker marketing the house for Freddie Mac and tell prospects: Oh, and don’t worry about that real estate sign in the front yard offering the house for sale. We tried to sell the house but it didn’t work out, so now we’re renting it.
