Cyclamen offer dainty flowers that bloom on a surprisingly hardy plant. Here, cyclamen grow in a container in New Paltz, N.Y. These are not the cyclamen you typically find in a florist shop.

Bring on the ravens for Halloween decor By KIM COOK Associated Press
Edgar Allan Poe and Halloween are enmeshed like cobwebs on a lamppost. In classics like “The Cask of Amontillado,” “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “The Masque of the Red Death” and more, the master of horror fiction gave us imagery – sinister masquerade balls, mysterious catacombs, menacing city streets – that have long inspired Halloween aficionados and lovers of all things spooky. Retailers have plenty to offer for scary decorations or a Poe-inspired Halloween party: The Raven. Perhaps the most iconic Poe symbol, the raven is easy to spot around Halloween. You can find large and small decorative versions of black birds that can be placed on buffet tables, bookshelves and front porches. At Crate & Barrel, there are plates and napkins with an all-over raven graphic, as well as string lights and carved wooden ravens. (www.crateandbarrel. com ) A black feather wreath makes a dramatic statement on a mantel. Raven masks will turn even a non-costume dinner party into something intriguingly chic.

An evocative tile from Ralley studio features a posthumous portrait of Poe’s wife Virginia. Her untimely death is believed by some to have inspired some of Poe’s most tragic poems.
Carved wooden ravens from Crate and Barrel can be situated throughout a room to add Halloween drama. The master of horror fiction, Edgar Allan Poe, gave us imagery, including sinister masquerade balls, catacombs and ravens, that have long inspired Halloween aficionados and lovers of all things spooky.
This photo provided by Sveinbjorg shows raven pillows from Sveinbjorg.is. Sveinbjorg Hallgrimsdottir’s folk art style features prints of branches and ravens are printed on birch trays, pillows and blankets.
Crate and Barrel offers left a china plate with a raven motif and cupcake papers printed with ravens that combine the sweet with the spooky for an Edgar Allan Poe themed Halloween fete. Poe and Halloween are enmeshed like cobwebs on a lamppost.
STyLE WITH A STORy
Poe-themed decor also might include a touch of the literary: a long white glove with ink stains on it, vintage books stacked haphazardly, a tattered tablecloth. If you don’t have copies of Poe’s books, piles of black-covered volumes will set the tone. Buy a porcelain marker and write a line or two from your favorite Poe piece on some inexpensive white plates or serving trays. Or use metallic permanent markers to add a phrase to cotton or linen napkins. Singe the edges of parchment paper printed with a poem or paragraph that you’ve written out or typed, using either an old typewriter or a vintage font from a computer. The
same technique can be used to create invitations.
GOTHIC GLAMOUR
Ebony taffeta or silk, tarnished metals, candlesticks and black wrought iron bring the Victorian gloom to life, so to speak. Black LED tapers and black candelabras are at Pier 1 Imports. And creepy trees can be found at Grandin Road, along with harlequin pumpkins for a masquerade vibe. (www. pier1.com ; www.grandinroad.com )

WASHINGTON (AP) – Average U.S. mortgage rates tumbled this week. The 30-year loan hit its lowest level since June 2013 as Treasury bond yields marked new lows amid concern over global economic weakness. It was the fourth straight week of declines for mortgage rates, making it more affordable to borrow to buy a home. Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday that the nationwide average for a 30-year loan dipped to 3.97 percent from 4.12 percent last week. The average for a 15-year mortgage, a popular choice for people who are refinancing, fell to 3.18 percent from 3.30 percent.
Mortgage rates often follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The 10-year note traded at 2.13 percent Wednesday, down from 2.34 percent a week earlier. It traded at 2.11 percent Thursday morning. Bond yields rise when bond prices fall. Treasury yields have dropped sharply on expectations that the world’s economic sluggishness could force the Federal Reserve to delay interest rate increases. The deepening concern over the health of the world economy, and worries that global weakness could slow the U.S. economy and hurt corporate profits, played into the dizzying swoon Wednesday on Wall Street.
Investors fled stocks and poured money into bonds. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 460 points in afternoon trading, all three U.S. stock indexes were in negative territory for the year, and the socalled fear index spiked. Mortgage rates have fallen even though the Federal Reserve appears set at the end of this month to end its monthly bond purchases, which are intended to keep borrowing rates low. Yet Fed officials have indicated that they will continue to hold shorter-term rates at near-zero levels until there are signs of rising inflation. At 3.97 percent, the 30year rate is down from 4.53 percent at the start of the year.

Need a generator? How to choose the best By DIANA MARSZALEK Associated Press
As storms have become more severe in many parts of the country and power outages more frequent, home generators have gone from luxury items to mainstream ones. Prices have come down, thanks to growing demand and cheaper technology. But the idea of buying and installing one can still be daunting, mainly because there are so many variables to consider. Much depends AP Photo on how much you want the generator to do. This undated photo provided by Generac shows a A look at some generator portable generator available for homeowners. basics:
BUILT-IN OR PORTABLE
The biggest question is whether to buy a built-in generator, which has to be professionally installed and runs on natural gas, or a portable unit, which is cheaper and runs on gasoline. The built-in kicks in automatically in a power outage; the portable has to be started manually. Built-in generators look similar to air conditioners, usually sitting on the side of a house. They are more expensive than portables; installation could run $1,500-plus. But they have one big advantage, says Ken Collier, editor-in-chief at The Family Handyman: Once a built-in generator is put in place, you don’t have to touch it again. “They are a great choice for people for whom spending a few thousand bucks for the security of having power is worth it,� Collier says. Portable generators, on the other hand, can be powerful enough to do the trick. But they have to be started manually, and you must have gasoline on hand before any storm. You can’t have the gasoline so long that it becomes unusable: Collier says gasoline goes stale after about a month. In addition, turning on a portable generator often requires several steps,
which isn’t necessarily easy in stormy, dark conditions. There are safety concerns, too. Because they are powered by gasoline, portable generators emit carbon monoxide, so they must be set up away from the home and windows.
gasoline, costs about half that.

Of course, buying a generator is just one piece of being ready for a power outage, Collier notes.
