San Diego Is Retirement Paradise For Iraq War Veterans
Why do veterans choose San Diego as an ideal residential city to live in the United States?
In 2006, “Money” magazine recognized San Diego, California as the 5th-best place to live in the entire country. “Forbes” magazine adds that San Diego has become the 5th richest city in the U.S. and the 9th most secure city. Economic opportunities in the city are available in sectors of technology, manufacturing, defense, tourism, and agriculture.
What makes the city also suitable for the post-military lives of the veterans is that the private sector providing support services for United States Navy are some of the largest employers in San Diego. With plenty of quality universities, many former military and children of former military choose San Diego to complete their secondary education. Veterans can also appreciate San Diego due to its rich historic, cultural and aesthetic heritage. In fact, since 1898, several TV shows and films have been filmed all over the city. San Diego has a moderate climate and is a great place to enjoy an active lifestyle. San Diego has miles of beaches, nature trails, and more than 22 executive and par 3 golf courses. The San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball play their home games in Glaslamp Quarter of San Diego at Petco Park. Qualcomm Stadium has hosted National Football League home games of San Diego Chargers.
As a lot of Iraq war veterans have returned home (due to the declaration by U.S. President Barack Obama) this year, young and old veterans and their families have desired for safe clean cities to live in where they can have a stable and safe future. San Diego has been one of the top cities for this because of its beauty and low crime rate. Most people who choose to live in San Diego will need a loan to purchase their home. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has collaborated with the city government of San Diego to create special San Diego VA Loan programs to help veterans who are now living and working in the city.
These programs feature VA loans that are suitable to the needs of military families in San Diego. The standard VA loan features a 30 year, fixed rate payment plan with no money down and no buyer expense for closing costs. Almost all VA loans are compatible with county government first time home buyer incentives. The San Diego VA Loans can be used to buy a San Diego residence. In most transactions, the buyer closing costs will be paid for by the seller. Many of the homes also allow a credit for repairs. The San Diego VA Loan programs have different financing options to choose from (including shorter 15 year payment plans). The $0 down program can be used to purchase most kinds of residential properties including new houses, condo units, and detached homes. The maximum $0 down loan limit for 2011 is $537,500.
By choosing the right loans and financing options, veterans will not only enjoy new lives in San Diego but also provide safe and stable futures for their families for generations to come.

Sun into Virgo 2010: Review, Regroup, Relax
During a recent visit with astrologer C.A. Brooks on her radio show “Simple Tales” I joked that the best way to send a Virgo over the edge is to put a few soup cans in the cereal section of his/her cupboard. One Virgo in the 12Radio.com chat room instantly commented on just how unsettling that proposition was. While perhaps amusing to the rest of the zodiac, Virgo’s painful and often solitary quest for order is not the clear cut case of OCD this caring and gentle sign often gets the rap for. Virgo’s search for perfection is in actuality born of a deep, sincere and abiding drive to restore harmony in the world. The constellation Virgo is in fact home to the mythological Goddess Astraea. She was the last deity to leave earth and its inhabitants as they plunged into their self created darkness of greed, war and competition. She desperately wanted to help humankind restore the world to a perfect state, and we enter her intricate, detailed realms on Sunday, August 22nd at 10:27 P.M. PST when the Sun enters the mutable earth sign of Virgo.
Like her fellow mutable sign companions, Virgo closes her respective season and gives us an opportunity to wind down and clean up loose ends. Closing the tumultuous summer of 2010 is no easy task. But the Sun will get ample assistance with slowing things down from Mercury retrograding from August 20th through September 12th in Virgo, and wild card wielding Uranus safely recessed back into easy-going Pisces where it will be joined by generous Jupiter on September 9th. Uranus and Jupiter in flexible Pisces also offer a heavenly counter weight to Virgo tendencies toward excessive control and rigidity.
So how exactly does that meticulous Virgo mind work in the real world? Let’s take the common desire of losing weight as an example. Virgo needs the cold hard facts to formulate her methodical plan. Translation; get on the scale (and look). Next assignment; count calories, all of them, for one entire week, no exceptions. Once Virgo has calculated your average daily caloric intake, she will logically conclude that if you want to lose one pound per week, you will need to deduct precisely 500 calories per day from your diet, no cheating. Aries would likely suggest an intense crash diet to instantly shed the unwanted pounds and Leo is likely to opt for those pills that lose the weight for her while she sleeps. Both would make a run for the nearest plastic surgeon. Virgo patiently insists that small consistent steps toward life’s objectives are much healthier and more sustainable and effective in the long run. Her devotion to service and concern for health also strongly advocate a realistic exercise plan, 3-5 days per week. Fortunately In 2010, Virgo’s rules and regulations are sweetly counter balanced by Uranus and then Jupiter in adaptable Pisces. Translation; you get to eat whatever you want with your calorie allowance and you get to pick the day, different ones every week if you please, for any exercises you enjoy.
It is worth noting here that all of 2010′s Mercury retrogrades have been in those grounded and practical earth signs. The earth signs help us put ideas and feelings into form. The support offered via Mercury’s current retrograde in Virgo will be reinforced by Pluto in earthy, disciplined Capricorn which forms favorable trines to Mercury and the Sun. Whether the goal is weight loss, debt elimination or improving one’s business, this Mercury through Virgo transit provides an ideal climate for uncanny analysis, synthesis and planning. So if a long forgotten New Year’s resolution fell hopelessly off the wagon sometime earlier this year, this cycle can help you get things in order and back on track.
As the saying goes, “No one likes a critic.” No one likes a cheapskate either. For that matter, an overzealous neat freak can be downright disturbing. So how does Virgo overcome her astrological reputation? She learns to accept life’s unavoidable chaos, inherent messiness and inevitable unpredictability. In short, she surrenders to element of mystery. Life’s greatest experiences cannot be defined purely by fact, comprehended by the rational mind, nor fully articulated by words alone. In her enlightened state, Virgo reveres the unseen, the intangible and the unexplainable, and she warmly welcomes them in to rattle her otherwise orderly world. In 2010, oppositions to the Sun and Mercury in Virgo by rebellious Uranus and jubilant Jupiter in unfathomable Pisces, encourage even the most persnickety Virgo to enthusiastically embrace the unknown. Because that, is where life happens.
