Almost everyone is familiar with fortune cookies. Light and flavorful, these cookies are handed out at the end of almost every meal eaten in an Asian restaurant. Of course, as good as the cookies may be, what people are really interested in are the little pieces of paper inside. From the ridiculous to the sublime, these fortunes are the best part of the cookie. So what if you could print your own message on those little pieces of paper? What if you could create a custom fortune cookie to sell your idea or make your announcement?

Luckily, there a great many companies out there that will do just that for you. These companies do not mass produce their cookies. Instead they create small batches to your specifications. Because of this, you can get cookies made that are as unique as you are. If you can imagine it, they can probably create it.

The possibilities really are endless. You could choose chocolate or candy coated cookies in any color imaginable. You can have the cookies themselves dyed any color in the rainbow. You can have them laid out to form a fortune cookie bouquet. You can even change the size of the cookies if you want, from tiny to giant.

The part of the cookie that you really want to customize is the fortune. This is the part that people will remember the most. Custom made fortune cookies can be a very successful way to promote your business. The person who received the cookie is likely to remember what they read on that little piece of paper. Better than that, they may just tell their friends about it.

Custom fortune cookies can also be used to get information out. Order some blue cookies and have the fortune list your new son’s name and birth date. Having a party? Send fortune cookies out as an attention getting invitation. Have a fight with your spouse? Tell them you are sorry twenty times with a fortune cookie bouquet.

Whatever your reason, custom fortune cookies are a novel and fun way to get your point across. Because each batch is made individually, they do cost more than regular fortune cookies. However, the response you receive to any message you print on the fortune will be well worth the cost. No one will ever forget the information they find on the inside of those cookies, nor will they forget the person who gave it to them.

Mortgage Interest Rates – Why Lowest Is Not Always Best

Posted on by

by ODFR Team

Mortgage interest rates. Nothing but mortgage interest rates.

Apart from the so-called “credit crunch”, mortgage interest rates have dominated all aspects of our lives over the last year to 18 months; so much so that we automatically assume a lower interest rate on a mortgage to be better for our circumstances than a higher interest rate. But that’s not necessarily the case.

Since the Bank of England Base Rate has plummeted and mortgage interest rates have tumbled, we have been exposed to advertisements in both the online and offline media with the most captivating headlines:

“Massive Rate Reduction to 2.51%”

“This 2.38% tracker is unbeatable”

“2.01% – Best Mortgage Rate Available … Anywhere”

Admittedly, the ads shown above are slightly tongue-in-cheek in the wording used but the rates themselves are VERY close to those being seen by consumers with mortgages.

The above advertisements go some way to helping us remember that mortgages are sold like most other products. The interest rate is used to grab the headlines and get our attention. The interest rate HAS to be real of course (otherwise big trouble for the advertiser) but there are a number of criteria from the lender that so easily prevents us from getting such a low rate of interest.

Consider the recent headline-grabber rate of 2.29% that was withdrawn from the market late March (09). Everybody wanted it – from mainstream residential borrowers to buy-to-let investors with an adverse credit history. Bizarrely, they all thought they could get it judging by the increased enquiries mortgage advisers received for the product.

Nonetheless, many consumers were left to discover just how tough it was to get this great mortgage rate. After all, how many of us have a 40% deposit for a new home or 40% equity in our current property? In January 2009 the Council of Mortgage Lenders recorded the average equity/deposit as being 24%. Healthy enough but nearly half of the amount required by this product and the lender’s criteria. Furthermore, this product required mortgage applicants to have a near-on flawless credit history and to be willing to hold the mortgage for 36 months whilst only getting the low fixed-rate for just 12 months. (IMPT: Please read that last sentence again as it is key to understanding this product and products similar to it.)

The rate could afford to be set that low because it was only fixed at that level for one year but you had to keep the mortgage for three years. This is fine for someone that wants or needs to increase the amount of cash available to them every month in the SHORT term. For example, you have a strong credit history but just need to get through a current financial strait such as clearing a credit card, or you wish to rebuild some savings over a 12-month period.

With base rates being at an all-time low and approaching zero percent, mortgage payments are great for mortgage borrowers … for now. But what about the medium term of approximately 2 – 3 years? The attractiveness of a fixed-rate becomes clear when it looks as though mortgage interest rates can only go up when they start to move again. From the start of the 2nd year of the mortgage there is considerable interest rate risk to think about before taking this product or any such mortgage with similar features.

Yet the mortgages attracting the lowest fixed rates right now also have the shortest timeframes too, such as 2 years or less (similar to the one mentioned above). This gives us some insight into how lenders currently view the short to medium term – they too see interest rate risks for the next 2 – 3 years as the mortgages with the lowest rates AND the lowest fees are based on a variable rate (e.g. Variable Capped, Variable Tracker and Standard Variable Rate itself).

We all want the lowest monthly payment on our mortgage and lenders know this. One of their strongest marketing tools is an interest rate that just looks cheaper than everybody else. It may well be the cheapest rate around. Just do your due diligence first or speak to a Mortgage Adviser and have them do it with you. Whatever you do, choose a mortgage product that suits your circumstances and saves you money, not one that just grabs your attention with a low interest rate.

Cooking is possible the profession that is most suited to earning real cash in WoW. Every single class is a potential customer of high end foods and selling these can make you good money easily and quickly.

It’s easy to jump to the conclusion that the cooking profession is a boring one. If you’re after gold however, you may find it interesting to know that by selling high end “buffing” foods, you can make a significant amount of gold.

The cooking profession is only lucrative when used to make high end items. Don’t waste your time on the low end jobs as these just aren’t worth it. After patch 2.3 was released, cooking quests became an option. These can be done daily to make around 7 gold a time. You’ll also occasionally pick up new recipes through completing these quests.

As I previously mentioned, the way to make money through cooking is to focus on making the “buffing foods”. It’s a fact that Mages can create foods and drinks through spells. They are no real competition to you however as very few of their spells give bonuses to stats for a period of time. You can do this however.

Once you’re able to cook these types of valuable recipes, you can use them to give bonuses to Healing, Damage, Spirit, Stamina and Spell to mention a few. Don’t forget that you can also feed your pets these foods to give them a bonus (if you are a hunter).

If you want to take your Cooking profession to an even more lucrative level, think about combining it with the Fishing profession. These two professions go hand in hand and will give you even more options when it comes to making money.

Because Cooking is a secondary skill you won’t need to worry about it interfering with your trade skills. There’s no real negative to choosing Cooking as one of your secondary skills.

If you are dedicated and use you’re imagination, you’ll find there’s no limit to the number of ways you can make gold in World of Warcraft.
