Frederick County Public Library Hours Reduced

August 6, 2010
by Guy from Frederick Maryland Online

During its June meeting, the Board of Trustees of Frederick County Public Libraries voted to accept staff recommendations to reduce the hours of operation. This reduction is one of several changes taking place this summer resulting from Frederick County’s hiring freeze, which has had a significant impact on the library system over the past two years.

C. Burtz’s is now closes at 5 on the weekends.

Featuring Local Frederick Small Businesses

Frederick Basket Company

When you need to get a gift, but aren’t sure what to get, a gift basket is often the perfect solution. But when not just any basket will do, The Frederick Basket Company in Everedy Square is the place to go.

I love to put together gift baskets from the Frederick Basket Company. The owner, Vicki Moore, and any of the staff, are so helpful when I want to create a basket with a personal touch. The store has several pre-made baskets you can choose from as well. Their website has a list for the convenience of placing an order online or by phone. But if you have the time, it’s much more fun to stroll through the shop and get ideas for your own unique gift basket.

Vickie from the Frederick Basket Company

Vicki Moore from the Frederick Basket Company

Vicki has been in the gift basket business for many years, starting with a home business. Two years ago she bought the Frederick Basket Company from the previous owner of 17 years. She brings her own sense of creativity and warmth to the business and to downtown Frederick.
Maryland Wines at the Frederick Basket Company

Local and Regional Wines Available

The Frederick Basket Company carries local and regional wines and beers for your gift basket. Or, you can bring in your own wine choice and they will gladly add it to the basket for you. Vicki is happy to help with corporate events or weddings. Any special event is an opportunity to “say it with a basket”.

Sample Gift Baskets

With so many thoughtful and beautiful items throughout the store, one might get overwhelmed with the choices. But Vicki is the master, and I love to have her walk around the store with me, as she listens to me describe the recipient of my lovingly prepared basket. I always end up with something very special.
Baby Shower Gift Basket

Baby’s Gift Basket

So whether you’re looking for a baby shower or birthday gift, or a housewarming or thankyou gift, your very special recipient will love a beautiful, thoughtful gift basket from The Frederick Basket Company.

Located at 12 East Street, their hours are Monday – Saturday 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday 12 noon to 5 pm. Check out their Facebook fan page for news and coupons. Find out more on Yelp. And one of the perks… free parking!

Enjoy, Karen Higland

Feds pay man for Agent Orange exposure at Md. base
August 07, 2010 12:57 EDT

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A West Virginia man is receiving compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for exposure to Agent Orange during military service at Maryland’s Fort Detrick.

Sixty-eight-year-old Gary Abram served at Fort Detrick from November 1962 to 1964. Abram says he received a letter from the VA in 2008 that acknowledged the Department of Defense had spray-tested substances, including Agent Orange, at Fort Detrick while he was there.

Agent Orange is the nickname for a blend of herbicides the U.S. military sprayed during the Vietnam War to remove plants and leaves that provided enemy cover.

The VA has recognized certain cancers and diseases associated with Agent Orange exposure. Abram was treated for lymphoma, has diabetes and has had thyroid problems since the 1970s.

Shop Maryland – Tax Free Week

by localseo on 2010/08/05

Shop Maryland – Tax Free Week

With the kids going back to school shortly, this is the time of year that many States try to help out parents by forgiving the State sales tax for a period of time. Actually, you can see all the States policies here. I know the concept of a sales tax is foreign to those of you who reside in States that don’t have one, but here in Maryland we’re used to it, even if it’s not our favorite way of giving back.

The timing on the sales tax forgiveness is short lived so don’t miss out on this opportunity.

For those of you residing in Maryland, here is the official State website outlining the “Tax Free Week” promotion.

Amazon just launched Amazon Student, a free membership program that offers college students one year of free two-day shipping via free membership in Amazon Prime (which usually costs $79), as well as other benefits, such as exclusive discounts and promotions.

The Amazon Student page also features a variety of other merchandise likely to appeal to college students, such as laptops, bedding, and microwavable foods like Kraft Easy Mac.

Not a student? You may still be eligible for a 30-day Amazon Prime trial membership.

Your Credit Score Can Hurt Your Job Search

by localseo on 2010/08/04

Having Trouble Landing A Better Job?

Maybe  your credit score is hurting your chances of seeking better employment

Raise Your Credit Score 100 Points in 45 Days

I recently attended a class with a lender and got some great information about credit scores. Here are my notes:

Credit Scores are made up of 5 sub-scores, which all need to be kept in shape:

1.  Payment History …………..35%      Bills should be paid as agreed the most recent 6 months. The highest weight is put on the highest payments, mortgage, car payments, etc.

2.  Balances Carried …………..30%       Keep your balance to a ratio as low as possible.  Outstanding balances should be less than 30% of the available credit.  Over 50% is really not good. For example, if you have a credit card with a $3,000 limit, you shouldn’t have more than a $1,000 balance.  Spread the balances between cards, don’t have all the balance on one card with the others at zero.  Don’t close credit cards.  The older the history of the card, the better.

3.  Credit History ………………15%         The longer the credit history the better.  Long credit history paid as agreed is a postive impact on credit score.  So don’t close accounts, especially if they have a long history, that is a negative impact on credit score.

4.  Mix Of Accounts ……………10%         It is ideal to have installment and revolving accounts.  Mortgage loan, auto loan, 3 to 5 credit cards (more is ok, too), paid on time over 1 to 2 years.  A HELOC should be greater than $40,000 or it will report as a revolving account versus a mortgage.

5.  Inquiries ……………………..10%         If you are applying for a mortgage, you are allowed an unlimited number of credit inquiries for 14 days, after that inquiries cause you to lose points.  Each inquiry averages 5 points, only the first 10 inquiries count each year, after 10 it will not affect your credit score.   Normally, you are allowed to pull 1 credit report within 45 days with no negative effect.Take good care of your credit score, it will take good care of you:)

Inquiries that don’t hurt the score:  Job related, insurance/utilities, account review, personal (www.annualcreditreport.com) and promotional (pre-approved offers in the mail).

Blemished credit can be costly, low credit scores mean higher interest rates.  What can you do?

1.  Check your own credit score.

2.  Pay past due accounts.  Past due accounts can include those that are 1 day late.  Past due accounts do not include Judgements and collection accounts.

3.  Get rid of late payments.  Have them removed by phoning your creditor and requesting late payments be removed.  You must be persistent and work you way up the ladder to someone who can help you.  Always get a letter that documents: Name/address/account number, specific late to be removed, on company letterhead/signed by employee.

4.  Get your credit card balances down, try getting credit limits increased.  Every 6 months request an increase to your credit limit.  Have the creditor base the increase on your credit history.  However, if the creditor must pull credit, don’t, it will lower credit score.

5.  Start or keep making payments on time.

6.  Do not close old accounts, this will hurt your score.  Use old accounts periodically, charge a small amount and pay it off immediately.  Don’t reply to pre-approved offers.  Don’t consolidate. Don’t pay off all collections until the loan process is over.

If you wonder if it’s worth the trouble, think about this:  Increasing your credit score by 10 points will net interest savings of $100,000 over 30 years (on a $500,000 mortgage loan.)

It’s worth the trouble!
