== Gio Gonzalez bought a fleet of luxury cars for his family ==

<html>It s good to be related to Gio Gonzalez.

Kurt Suzuki took the mic for MASN before a recent game and asked Gonzalez a few questions,[http://wiki.hackerspace.com.ua/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Paulparker#David_Masons_Popes_Bookbinder_fe David Masons Popes Bookbinder fe], one of them about the Nats pitcher s big purchases when he signed his contract. Here s what he had to say.

 I m already broke, Gonzalez joked. I got a couple toys for my brother, a couple of toys for my mom. 

That wasn t a good enough answer for Suzuki,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-1 NFL T shirts for men], so he asked Gonzalez to elaborate (we should get Suzuki to be a special Bog correspondent).

 Well, first I bought myself a nice house. I moved out of Hialeah, live in Broward now. I bought me, also, a nice little car. A Lamborghini. And then I bought my brother one,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/ wholesale nfl t-shirts], a Lamborghini. I bought my mom a Rolls Royce. I bought my brother a boat, and I bought my dad a Bentley. 

Only Gio would refer to a Lambo as a nice little car. You can see the full interview .</html>

== Mortgage rates drop after steep rise; remain above 4 percent ==

<html>After last week rising sharply on the news that the Fed would begin pulling back stimulus measures,[http://projectwiki.herlig.net/index.php?title=Bruker:Paulparker#The_darkly_funny_joke_that_sums_up_Egypt.E2.80.99s_crisis The darkly funny joke that sums up Egypt’s crisis], average mortgage rates this week fell but remained above the 4 percent level, according to new data released Wednesday by Freddie Mac.

The 30-year fixed-rate average this week decreased to 4.29 percent from 4.46 percent. This time last year, the 30-year averaged 3.62 percent.

The 15-year average, which in recent weeks rose above the 3 percent level, fell to 3.39 percent from 3.50 percent. A year ago, the rate averaged 2.89 percent.

“Fixed mortgage rates fell over the holiday week as market concerns over the timing of the Federal Reserve’s pullback in bond purchases eased somewhat,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/cheap-nike-new-york-jets-6-mark-sanchez-nfl-tshirt-men-green-p-2427.html Mark Sanchez t shirts], ?Frank E. Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, said in a statement.

 Rates are still low by historical standards and should continue to aid in housing affordability and the ongoing recovery of the housing market, Nothaft added. For instance,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-1 NFL T shirts for women], pending home sales rose 6.7 percent in May to the strongest pace in over six years. In addition, residential construction spending increased in four of the first five months this year.”</html>

== Worm farmer recycles furniture maker's sawdust into garden s ==

<html>Which makes Vander Werf something of a one-man inoculation clinic. What started as a plastic tub of worms in his laundry room has grown into 5,000 square feet of raised worm composting windrows,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/ new nfl t shirts], or mounds, in his side yard. He feeds the worms with ingredients diverted from landfills, material he collects from hundreds of miles around Las Vegas, Bakersfield, the Ridgecrest Regional Wild Horse and Burro Reserve (a fairly new discovery).

 They generate about 10 tons [of manure] a day out there, he said with satisfaction. I picked up about 50,000 pounds in January 25 truckloads. 

One of his most interesting stops is three hours away, in Marina del Rey, where he collects bags of sawdust from Spencer's workshop. Vander Werf likes the shavings from the recycled wine oak that Spencer uses to make furniture, doors and cabinetry.

To the worms, the sawdust is as delicious as raked leaves. The worms eat sawdust mixed with everything else Vander Werf throws into his mix: kitchen scraps, 4,000 pounds of coffee grounds a month, 400,[http://wiki.fyletikesmaxes.gr/wiki/%CE%A7%CF%81%CE%AE%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82:Paulparker#Canada-_On_track_to_Kamloops.2C_where_people_are_as_warm_as_th Canada- On track to Kamloops, where people are as warm as th],000 pounds of shredded paper every year.

He has dubbed the operation Windy Acres Worm Beds, but he doesn t sell the compost. He said he just wants to spread the word about soil health. His recycling of seemingly useless material has persuaded Spencer and his wife, Leigh,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/new-york-jets-c-1_48 New York Jets t shirts], to bring some sawdust home too, she said. We do our own worm composting at home now, inspired by him.
