Here's what UM has in mind with its injured star receiver
A six-pack of Hurricanes notes on a Tuesday as we approach UM-FSU (3:30 p.m. Saturday, ABC):
▪ Junior receiver Ahmmon Richards, who has missed four consecutive games with a bone bruise on a knee, remains sidelined indefinitely and coach Mark Richt said Tuesday there's a chance he could redshirt.
Because the NCAA is now permitting players to play four games and still redshirt, it's possible Richards could play in the regular season finale, the ACC Championship game (if UM gets there) and a bowl game and still redshirt.
"If things don't get better, it could happen," Richt said of Richards redshirting. "That's a possibility. He's not able this week."
Richards has been sidelined since playing in the opener. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown remains hopeful Richards can help this season.
"Of course, but you obviously can't rush how a body comes back and responds to stuff," Brown said Tuesday.
Draftniks said Richards could have been a first-round pick if he was healthy and dynamic this season. With the injury this season, it appears far more likely he returns next season.
In Richards' absence, UM has used three different starters (with Jeff Thomas and Lawrence Cager) each of the past three games – Brian Hightower, Darrell Langham and most recently, Mike Harley. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown said that decision is based entirely on who practices best each week.
In other words, Harley's strong game last week will have no bearing on whether he starts against FSU, Brown said.
Brown likes how UM's receiver group has "unselfish guys. We had a bunch of guys who didn't catch a ball last week but blocked their butts off, continue to do it down after down."
▪ It says something about UM's skill position talent that neither of Miami's five-star freshmen – running back Lorenzo Lingard nor receiver Mark Pope – played a single snap against UNC.
Among the four freshmen receivers, Brian Hightower played 12 snaps against UNC and Dee Wiggins 10, per Herald correspondent Daniel Gould.
So why no snaps for Lingard or Pope last week?
"Both those guys are very talented," Brown said. "More of them not playing is less about how good they are, how good they're practicing and more about the guys in front of them. Both those guys are playing fine."
Lingard has rushed 17 times for 136 yards, an 8.0 average. Pope has no receptions this season.
What can Pope do to catch up to Hightower and Wiggins? "Keep working every day," Brown said. "He's going to be in good shape."
▪ Teammates are thoroughly impressed how Malik Rosier has handled his demotion. Tyler Gauthier noted he's the first person to go to up N'Kosi Perry when he comes off the field to brief him on things Rosier saw from the opposing defense. Perry also credited Rosier for helping.
"Malik has a good attitude, continues to push N'Kosi," Brown said.
There's no indication Rosier wants to transfer, but even if he did, he couldn't because he already used his redshirt year (2014). Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant announced he was transferring after losing his job to a younger player, taking advantage of that rule that allows players who haven't redshirted before to play four games and still redshirt.
As far as any UM players transferring who haven't redshirted previously and haven't played much, Richt wasn't aware of any but said in general: "I'm sure people will be more aware that could happen. We don't know. We can't control that."
▪ Venzell Boulware has taken command of the left guard job. He played 40 snaps against North Carolina, compared with 18 for Jahair Jones. "That's what we hoped [Boulware] would be when he got here [as a junior grad transfer from Tennessee]," Brown said.
Richt said UM doesn't "scour the nation" for grad transfers but selectively pursues those at need areas.
▪ What do UM players think of FSU's "turnover backpack" — a clear ripoff of UM's turnover chain?
"You mean the purse," Boulware cracked Tuesday.
"Everyone tries to copy a good thing," center Gauthier said. "Ours is a little bit better."
▪ Quick stuff: Linebacker Shaquille Quarterman (ankle) and safety Jaquan Johnson (hamstring) practiced Tuesday, an encouraging sign… Richt said the fact UM hasn't beaten FSU at home since 2004 is "as bad as the seven losses in a row going into last year's game. That's a meaningful bit of history we have to change the course of."…. Richt loves the job Bubba Baxa is doing, on kicks and kickoffs. He's 4 for 5 on field goals, 27 for 28 on extra points…
Richt didn't want to say UM-FSU is the best rivalry, noting people aren't looking at this year's game as the winner being a favorite for the college football playoff. "For this to be really, really great, it has to get back to that," Richt said.

Ben Rimalower is a rising director, writer, and performer! He directed and produced the Off-Broadway plays "Joy" (Actors Playhouse, Out Magazine: "Top Ten Theatre") and "The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero" (Daryl Roth/DR2 Theatre). He also directed "Justin Sayre Is Alive And Well…Writing" (Ars Nova), "Project Lohan" (La MaMa E.T.C.), "Snoopy!" starring Sutton Foster (Symphony Space), "And/or" (Hot Festival), "Sodom the Musical" (Kraine Theatre) and the all-star "Night Of A Thousand Judys" (Playwrights Horizons) as well as staged readings for Second Stage, The York, Dixon Place and Ensemble Studio Theatre. He conceived and directed "Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches" (Time Out New York Award) and subsequently produced Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records' long-awaited recording, "Patti LuPone at Les Mouches" (Billboard "Heatseekers" Chart), digitally restored from archival tapes of LuPone's legendary 1980 performances. In venues such as Joe's Pub, San Francisco's Plush Room and Los Angeles' Upright Cabaret, Ben has earned the title the "Midas of Cabaret" (The Advocate) helming a slew of solo shows for artists including Alec Mapa, Cole Escola, Our Lady J, Natalie Joy Johnson, Lindsey Alley, Molly Pope, Wendy Ho, John Hill, Scott Nevins, Kate Pazakis, and Lance Horne in addition to producing and hosting the Laurie Beechman Theatre's recurring variety show, "Saturday Night Underground."
Ben writes a blog for The Huffington Post and "The New Old Gay" for akawilliam.com. Assistant Director credits include Lonny Price's productions of "A Class Act" (Manhattan Theatre Club, Broadway and Tokyo) and "A Little Night Music" (starring Patti LuPone, George Hearn and Zoe Caldwell) as well as the Emmy-winning "Sweeney Todd." Ben studied Theatre Arts at U.C. Berkeley where he was the founding Artistic Director of BareStage (now celebrating its 16th anniversary).
Now Ben is making his performing and writing debut in his recently extended hit one-man show "Patti Issues" at The Duplex, NYC's most famous cabaret and piano bar. According to press notes, "When Ben Rimalower was eight years old, his father came out of the closet and embarked on a drug-fueled tear that left his family in tatters. Amid the chaos of his young life, Ben found comfort like so many gay boys before him and after in musical theater, and specifically in the transportive voice of Broadway star Patti LuPone." "Patti Issues" poignantly explores the challenges facing LGBT parents and children while shining unique light on gay men's time-old obsessions with divas.

1. Who or what inspired you to become a playwright/director/performer? Patti. Ann. LuPone.
2. Who haven't you worked with that you would like to? Bernadette. Lazzara. Peters. Just kidding! Lots of people! I'm a really big Rufus Wainwright fan and I'd love to work with him--PATTI ISSUES, The Musical!
3. You are making your playwrighting and performing debut with your one-man show "Patti Issues" (which has become a bonafide hit). According to press notes, the show deals with your tale of growing up gay, having a father who also came out of the closet and then became addicted to drugs, and you finding salvation in two time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone. What is it about your story that made you want to write and star in it? I think I had to tell it. All my life, I've known that I would use it in something somehow someday (somewhere...) when I was ready. That wasn't my intention, three years ago, when I began writing about my experience of Patti LuPone, but in writing about Patti, this is what burbled to the surface. The performing thing just seemed to come with the territory of this personal monologue style. I've always joked, quoting "Merrily We Roll Along," that "I only perform at dinner," but I don't think anyone who knows me is all that surprised to finally see me on the stage.
4. What do you hope audiences come away with after seeing the show? I hope they connect to the sensitive, precocious me of my childhood needing an escape and finding it in Patti. And I hope they relate to my passion motivating most of what I've done in my life. And I hope they think I'm funny!!!
5. Without giving too much of the show away, what is it about Patti LuPone specifically that you were so drawn to? In my show, I quote John Housman saying that Patti has "the smell of the gallows." People get it wrong--the smell of the footlights, or whatever, but he said gallows. There's a fierceness to Patti, not just in the "snap, snap, snap, work, bitch" sense, but like she has a taste for blood. That thrills me and holds my attention--even in the dark times, especially in the dark times. And also, that is very empowering. Patti is my superhero.
6. Ms. LuPone herself came to see your show recently and loved it. What was this moment like for you? Has it changed your performance at all? It was exciting and gratifying and nerve-racking and terrifying and wonderful. My director, Aaron Mark, advised me not to change anything for Patti, and Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman had attended the performance before and said that she would like it, but I was still scared until I got on stage. Feeling Patti's energy in the room, hearing her amazing cackle (she could give Roseanne a run for her money), I knew in my bones that Patti is many things, but a bullshitter is not one of them; I knew that she would respect me for telling the truth, my truth.
7. You have directed several Off-Broadway shows, concerts, and all-star benefits. What do you enjoy most about directing? Well, moving forward, I'll enjoy most that I don't have to get my ass up on stage! It's a lot more relaxing to sit in the audience and receive compliments in the lobby--or even stay home and order Chinese! What I have always loved about directing, though, is putting myself in the audience's place and catering to their experience of the show. As someone who loves seeing theatre, I want to create the perfect theatrical experience. Or die trying.
8. What was your favorite part of the creative process in writing this show? Where is your favorite place to write? Just the writing itself, and creating the space to write. I got sober 16 months ago, so before that, writing was odd. I'd work for an hour and take a break for six months. The serious work began this past spring. I'd set aside my Saturdays, all day and all night, just to write. It was such a wonderful feeling of freedom to wake up in the morning, after having worked all week, and know that I had nowhere to go and no one to see, that my time was my own and I didn't owe anything to anybody. I would take my time drinking my coffee, cleaning my apartment, puttering around and then when I was ready, I'd sit at my desk looking out on Bedford Avenue and North 11th Street in Williamsburg, and just tell my story. Sometimes, I'd take a break to go for a walk by the river or sing some karaoke or watch a Patti video, but I felt very inspired and grounded and free, just being myself and saying what I wanted to say. It was really the best time in my life.
9. As you went back through the events in which you created "Patti Issues," what did you learn about yourself in this process? Has time changed your perspective at all? If so, how? What I've learned about myself is the thing I've been learning since getting sober, which is that I'm largely a sensitive, introverted person and a lot of my needing to be the center of attention is a defense against feeling my feelings I learned when I was a little kid and I couldn't handle them. It's rewarding to take a step back as an adult and just be me with no need for anything from anyone, including my father.
10. What's the best advice you've ever received? The best advice I ever received was to go to rehab.
11. If you could dream about anyone while you sleep, who would it be? I love to dream about my Grandma Harriet, who died when I was 18. I always wake up feeling like I got to hang out with her. She was the greatest!
12. Favorite way to spend your day off? Either downtime or uptime. I need a certain amount of staring off into space clearing my mind and I also crave a certain amount of running around town, seeing people, seeing shows, carrying on and cavorting.
13. Favorite way to stay in shape? Yoga.
14. Boxers or Briefs? Briefs. They have to have the seam up the center--maintains good placement and prevents male camel-toe.
15. If you could have any super power, which one would you choose? The ability to print money.

Intern Claims To Live in NYC Off of $25 an Hour and She's a Total Liar
If you've ever spent a day in Manhattan, you know that there's no way this math adds up.
Refinery 29 has a new segment called Money Diaries where they track people's spending habits. They recently tracked a young woman interning in New York City and things didn't seem to quite make sense. The girl prides herself on living off of $750 a week in the most expensive cities in America.
After a little more explanation behind her bills and expenses we figured out that her parents pay for almost everything and she even gets a monthly allowance from her grandfather of over $1,000.
Her rent for a single bedroom apartment is almost $2,000 which her parents pay for. She's currently a student so she has no loans to pay off. She is also on her parents, insurance and cell phone plan. She even mooches off their Netflix account.
It's awfully hard to call this girl independent.

la isla de las munecas ( The Island Of The Dolls).
In the heart of Mexico City, in Xochimilco, right in the swamps, there is a tiny Island called Santa Barrera's chiampa..
About fifty years ago, a man lived on this island with his daughter. She was seven when he found her drowned.
He buried her on the island. At night he heard strange noises. He was convinced that bad spirits came to haunt her grave.
He proceeded to hang her dolls to chase them away. During many years, he collected dolls and scattered them all around.
He has now passed away, but the dolls stay, hanging, as well as defying time.

During the convening, Dr. Tia Brown McNair posed an all-encompassing guiding question in her presentation for designing purposeful pathways that has stuck with me:
How can campus educators design innovative curricular pathways that provide students with intentionally designed learning experiences to prepare them for career success?
Now, you have a great understanding of your "why" and have clearly defined "what" problem you are looking to solve, its time to dig into the "how." Data analysis is critical for answering "how" questions and making decisions to solve for the challenges of three distinct audiences: students, university staff, and recruiters. Analyzing and leveraging data can often be overwhelming to inform your future direction. The beauty of data is that it's supposed to make you feel more in control, and allow you to have a better grasp of what's happening. It's not as complicated as it may seem if you focus on collecting the right data for the story you want to tell.
Building a Data Collection Engine
Let's revisit one of my favorite companies, Netflix, which is probably responsible for my 10 lbs of weight gain over the years with perfectly curated content that has made me victim to binging from time to to time. They came to life because Blockbuster incorrectly defined the problem their customers experienced. As Blockbuster continued to lose loyal customers, Netflix was there to happily take them on.
Initially, Netflix marketed their services through emails, referral programs, and ads on websites like Facebook. As each of these channels increased its subscribers, the company asked everyone that signed up which movies they wanted to see. With each request for rentals, Netflix captured demand data for various titles.
The Netflix team saw unimaginable retention numbers (aka: engagement) as they optimized each strategy and corresponding tactic to increase market share (the goal). The experiments they tried were never viewed as a failure because it always produced data for the next iteration, or version of its service, to move them closer to the goal.
When a subscriber watched a rented movie, Netflix asked for ratings and stored it in its archive. The company used the data to identify patterns to better understand what its subscribers liked, what they didn't, what they would watch next, and so forth. As they collected and validated data, they were developing matching technology to offer subscribers personalized recommendations.
This focus on data led the company to broaden their online streaming content as cable customers cancelled their services and exclusively started using Netflix for television and film entertainment. In order for this trend to continue, they ventured into original content, producing House of Cards with major Hollywood stars. With over 40 original series, Netflix has become known as a destination for premium content and now is stealing Emmys from the traditional incumbents on major networks.
The Connection to your Career Pathways Implementation Plan
While movies are a source of entertainment, and careers are a source of livelihood, they share more in common than what meets the eye. While developing algorithms for matching jobs to your students may not be in your wheelhouse (it happens to be ours), your university is an access point for premium content just like Netflix.
To successfully engage students and employers, a high-touch experience around premium content should be offered to create a similar binge effect. The goal should be to answer Dr. McNair's question at every step in the escalator of understanding for everyone who plays a role in designing career pathways with a special focus on your students who ultimately need to realize the benefits of engaging with you.
Dr. Samaad Wes Keys presented a great framework for collecting key data elements of career pathways in his presentation to look beyond compliance reporting. Dr. Keys identified five areas where your university should be collecting data. When merged together, the information gathered can help determine future direction. Being data informed about your educational practices vs. being data driven to meet compliance standards is what all educators are challenged with in order give students the best chance of succeeding.
Begin identifying key questions that get at what you want to learn from data. For example, one of the five areas that Dr. Keys suggested is to look into industry sectors to target your curriculum around the demand for talent in your region. Questions such as these posed in the presentation will make it more clear where to start collecting data.
- Which existing or emerging industries are important to the economic future of your region?
- What are the projected demand for labor in these sectors?
- To what extent do jobs in demand pay livable wages?
- What barriers do residents of your region face to securing in-demand jobs and advancing? What education programs currently exist in your region?
- How well are they meeting the demand?
Data analysis has three easy steps.
- List
- Sort & Cluster
- Track
Listing involves preparing and collecting raw excel spreadsheets. Copying data from various sources, focusing on the number of columns vs. the number of rows or the numbers in the cells.
This shouldn't be limited to quantitative data. List trends in qualitative data from your market research, interviews and experiments you captured from your audience. Create word clouds with the keywords from the responses to begin visualization.
Sort & Cluster
Sorting and clustering involves finding attributes to show and tell from the information collected. Look at sorting by frequency or percentages across ratings or performance over time.
Start to get a feel of data that is strong, neutral and weak. Use conditional formatting to visualize the story through trends. The "vision" function of the brain naturally processes color. This works very nicely when looking at competency scores across your students to determine where your curriculum could be enhanced.
Now you get to craft the story. Data is about relationships. Look at percentages and averages to determine the validity and strength of the relationships. Determine if what you are looking at is "precise," "accurate," or both. Precise data notes that the data collection processes were objective and presents true results. Accurate data notes that there are strong relationships between data points.
Also, fundamental ingredients of relationships are time and situations. If you take a specific data point today and capture it again a month from now, you have started "benchmarking." Or, if you capture a data point in your career center and capture it again when students are in class or when employers are on the road headed to your university, you will start to better understand shifts in the data.
Finally, after this process is complete, dig deeper and ask more questions to constantly learn from your data to drive new innovation.
Two Key Insights for University Leaders
Data validates next steps and decisions
Netflix completely revolutionized television and ushered in a wave of competitors like Hulu, Amazon Prime, and others. While they may have had ideas on what these initiatives should be, they never would have been able to get the green light to move forward and commit resources to them without the data to back it up. Data that tells a story.
A lot of money is at stake, not to mention the future of tens of thousands of students, when it comes to #UNCFCPI. Running with ideas and creating experiments where the data outcomes are recorded is crucial. The ideas to validate that your students are engaged and succeeding will not only help to secure the implementation grant, but will eventually provide clear ROI.
Data always changes. Keep an eye on it to continue to inform your roadmap.
Like everything else in life, change is the only constant. Whether the change is positive or negative, the patterns inform strategy, tactics and metrics you use to track progress. Your implementation plan will serve as the foundation for the changes that need to take place in career services, curriculum, and university culture. Plan for the unexpected, because it is pretty much guaranteed.
For example, if you notice that on campus interviews are declining, see if there are skills being asked for in the jobs they applied to that are not being covered by your curriculum. Analyze, through mock interview prep, if your students have the ability to articulate and connect the learning outcomes of coursework to the competencies employers seek. I suggest setting up calendar meetings with your team to run reports and analyze the data weekly, monthly, and on a semester basis. This way you and your colleagues won't be surprised by big increases (or dips) in the numbers. While positive surprises may seem like a great thing, it communicates that something is not fully understood, and represents a potential opportunity for innovation.
Get Started. See What Happens.
What you can do today is look at data to determine the most lucrative job market for your students based on your location, or where your students typically seek opportunities. This will give you a sense of the workforce demand which is a great data to start aligning your curriculum and extra-curricular efforts. From there you can assess the types of industries or functions with the most opportunities available, and the skills they are looking for. More importantly, you can predict which majors/students will have a tougher time, and plan to allocate your resources accordingly.
One recommendation for everyone on your implementation team is to always be curious to learn more about the data that you have access to. There is an abundance of insights ready to be captured and validated through experiments, which will produce more data. Seize the opportunity to ask the right questions at this stage to align thinking around the plan and the solutions to execute the plan. Your plan can change the course of your university via the UNCF grant. Let's make the numbers make sense going forward.
Let us know if you would like clean data from the sources that Dr. Keys mentioned. We can send a customized report to your team for your region.

"If your picture is boring, get closer."
This is perhaps the best piece of photography-related advice I have ever received and nowhere else does it hold more true than when using the 50mm prime lens.
We have tried to hone our craft with the usual line up of lenses over the years but it feels as if we always come back to the versatility of the 50mm. And there are two key reasons for that:
1) Its technical superiority when shooting wide open (typically 1.4f to 1.8f that is a higher aperture). The way it focuses on the subject of the image in the foreground, yet gives off a beautiful blurred background, or bokeh while maintaining creamy skin tones.
2) You have to physically frame your image whether it's moving in, away or to the side, the lack of zoom spurs creativity. The mix of these elements is ideal for learning how to frame a portrait or capturing the intricacy and detail of an object.
Also, it's a lens that we can use in nearly any situation. Capturing portraits of a bride and groom, candids of people on the street, food, ring shots – outside of the broad landscapes and areas where a zoom is absolutely necessary, the 50 mm can deliver value. I use it just as much as when we travel than while shooting weddings or events. Besides that, it's incredibly reasonable price tag piles on its benefits.
The bottom line here is that this is my favourite lens. Each time I use it, I feel it forces me to become a better photographer, blending the strength of the technology and my own insight – the latter being the key driver of the quality of image that I capture. Huge recommendation. Hard to justify not having this lens if you love photography, no matter what kind.

Office coffee etiquette
Getting employees automatic coffee machines in the office is one of the most brilliant low cost employee motivation technique business owners and managers are subscribing to. However, should you, as an employee, have won the argument to get your office the needed coffee machines or get your employer to enlist the service of coffee machine rentals, then, there are certain requirements which are needed of you once the office coffee machines are delivered, installed and ready for use.
There are basic etiquettes required from workers in an office which is equipped with office coffee machines irrespective of whether the supply is automatic coffee machines or not.
With the perfect understanding of the importance of coffee in your daily work life, there are some basic etiquette to observe in a working environment especially regarding the office coffee machines in order to improve interrelationship and healthy relationship between employees.
After getting that much needed office coffee machine (see Pure Bean), here are some questions to be answered while striving to maintain the best professional relationship and office etiquette.
Doing the rounds?
This is an obvious issue to consider especially as this task will seem to be one which will be abandoned by most other employees within your firm. It is important to balance the need for a decent cup of coffee to start your day with the time taken to make one, however, to lessen the time taken, it is important to consider whether individuals within the office make their brews separately or someone volunteers to do the rounds. While offering to do the rounds, the next question to ask is how far the generosity extends as doing the rounds may prove stressful, time consuming and of course, energy sapping.
Should you be a novice to the process, doing the rounds entails collecting the cups, washing up and setting the brew then proceeding to serve and deliver to individual colleague? However, you are presented with several options including hiding your brew which will most likely not catch on for long or taking the high road by picking a day of the week to do the rounds. However, the best choice would be to get automatic coffee machines capable of making as much top-notch coffees as possible a day
Who restocks?
Restocking for the coffee bean, filter paper and other needed items may prove contentious especially among employees. Additionally, the question of whether or not employers make contributions towards running the office coffee machines arises. Another contentious argument is the brand or blend of coffee to choose for the office. It is important to have employees answer these questions amongst themselves especially the question of who is to hold when the supply runs out.
Coffee for clients
Most often than not, the office intern is in charge of fetching office coffee for the boss or clients as this makes a part of the good first impression the company is trying to sell. However, a long lasting impression can be created with the type of coffee choice and of course, the quality of the coffee brew. To create the perfect impression on clients, it is important to purchase high quality office coffee machines capable of delivering the best work in seconds.

Boston Red Sox Poet Laureate
and New York Times Best Selling Author
Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been giving plenty of innings in the field to utility man
Tzu-Wei Lin this spring. A natural shortstop, Lin also has experience at second and third
bases, and has been getting some time in centerfield, where he shows real promise. But,
as Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports, it's still a learning experience. "When the
ball comes right at you, it's hard to see sometimes," Abraham quotes Lin as saying. And
it is. How many times have we seen a centerfielder frozen for a moment by a drive that's
hit right at him? It's difficult to tell at first if the ball will drop in front of you or sail over
your head. That moment or two of hestitation can be the difference between a base hit
and a putout. That, in turn, can be the difference in the outcome of a ballgame.
Perhaps Lin should take a page from the book of another shortstop who, years ago,
switched from being a shortstop to becoming a centerfielder, and who solved the problem
of being frozen by line drives hit right at him.
When Dom DiMaggio first tried out with the San Francisco Seals, he was a shortstop. He
did pretty well, too, but manager Lefty O'Doul, worried that a bad hop ground ball could
shatter his glasses (position players wearing glasses were all but unheard of in those pre-
contact lens days), so he moved Dom to centerfield. So it was that the man who would
become known as the Little Professor, not only because of his glasses, but also because
of his sharp, analytical mind, took on the issue of line drives being hit straight at him.
He reasoned that, if a batter maximized his reaction to a pitched ball by standing
sideways to the pitcher rather than directly facing him, why wouldn't the same be true of
a fielder and a batted ball? Thus he took his position in centerfield standing sideways to
homeplate instead of facing it. He stood facing the leftfield line, with his right shoulder
toward the plate, not unlike a right-handed batter.
He found that he was never frozen on a drive hit directly at him and that he could come in
on short drives and back on long ones much more quickly than with a conventional
stance. For a while he turned his stance around, facing the rightfield line when left-
handed batters, who were more likely to pull the ball than to hit it the other way, were at
the plate; but he was more comfortable facing leftfield and that's the way he played his
How did this unorthodox stance work? Well, if you go to the record book, you will find
that Dom DiMaggio averaged 2.99 chances per game, and 2.92 chances accepted over the
length of his career, more than any other outfielder in major league history. In addition,
he is one of only three outfielders in American League history to have 500 or more
putouts in a single season; and he is the only one to have done that before the schedule
was expanded from 154 to 162 games, and the only one to have accomplished that while
playing in a small outfield. Fenway Park's outfield dimensions have not changed over the
years; its centerfield, with the 420 foot triangle in right center, is no longer considered to
be especially small compared to the newer parks of the present generation, but in Dom's
day other parks had huge centerfields: the old Yankee Stadium was 461 feet to center,
Philadelphia's Shibe Park was 468, and Chicago's Comiskey was 440. Centerfielders had
plenty of room to chase down fly balls, but none of them caught as many as Dom
DiMaggio, who was relatively hemmed in at Fenway. With the smaller dimensions of
today's outfields, no one approaches 500 putouts per season anymore.
Obviously Dom's unorthodox stance paid huge dividends for him; it has always puzzled
me why other centerfielders, then or now, have not tried it. To my knowledge only one
other centerfielder used a similar stance, standing sideways to home plate. Dwayne
Murphy played with the Oakland Athletics in the 1980s, and he won six consecutive
Gold Glove awards (the Gold Glove did not exist when Dom played). In addition,
Murphy is one of the two others in addition to Dom to have 500 putouts in a season. The
other is Chet Lemon of the White Sox. Think about that, only two centerfielders have
played taking their stance sideways to homeplate, and they are two of only three
outfielders in American League history to have had 500 putouts in a single season. You'd
think that someone else would at least give it a try, wouldn't you?
While we're on the subject of Dom DiMaggio's prowess in the field, we should talk
about his throwing arm. In 1940, his rookie year, he did not crack the starting lineup until
two months into the season. Thus he played in the field in only 94 games, fewer than two
thirds of the team's total. Yet he led the American League in assists that year. No other
outfielder in baseball history has led the league in assists while playing in such a small
percentage of games.
The record shows that he is one of the greatest defensive outfielders in the history of the
game. And we have not even touched upon his contributions on offense (for example, the
same year that he had more than 500 putouts he also set an American League record for
runs batted in by a leadoff hitter). We'll save that for another time.
For my money Dom DiMaggio is the most underrated great player of his age, partly
because he played next to the magnificent Ted Williams and because he played the same
position as his more famous brother Joe (Whitey Ford told me one night, "You tell Dom
that Joe couldn't hold his jock in the outfield.").
That he does not have a plaque in Cooperstown is an injustice.

Regular yoga practice provides a variety of long-lasting physical and mental benefits and can…
Increase your flexibility
Spark creativity
Help you be more productive
Give you time to relax
Improve your sleep
Reduce cravings
Check out this article detailing specific health benefits of yoga for men, as well as some common misconceptions.
Also, enjoy this article about how yoga changed one wounded vet's life by helping him overcome injury and trauma, and how he is using yoga to help others.
Hear from some of the men practicing at Blue Ridge Yoga below!
When and why did you begin practicing yoga? Labor Day weekend 2016...my wonderful and very persistent wife Beth had been trying to get me to try yoga for a number of years, but I just found too many excuses not to, mostly time and money. Finally the fact that Blue Ridge Yoga is literally walking distance to our house and was offering the 30 days/$30 intro deal broke down my resistance. And to keep it real, I wasn't going improve my health by staying home!
A lot of men are hesitant to get in to yoga, what would you say to encourage them to begin a yoga practice? I would say that yoga is a great way to address the three facets of a whole person: physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. One can get a great workout any time without having to worry about the weather, while increasing muscular strength and flexibility. It helps develop discipline and focus of the mind, as well as inner peace. Also participating in group classes enables you to meet a lot of great people. Finally, it really makes a cold beer taste even better when you get back home!
What effect has your yoga practice had on your life? Yoga has had the most profound impact on me off the mat. Through the practice, I liberated myself from the affliction of chasing perfectionism that had plagued me for so long. I tightened up while learning to loosen up, haha, and found a beauty in my imperfections. This allowed me to become a more authentic version of myself and taught me how to make space for and truly connect with other people. At the end of every class I always say, "You never have to be perfect, you just have to be present." These are words I now live by.
Why should men do yoga? Men, in particular, often have misconceptions about yoga... I know I did before first stepping on a mat. I thought I knew what core strength was until the first week I practiced! I quickly learned that you don't have to be flexible to do yoga, and I wasn't as strong as I thought! I maintain that whatever you do, yoga will make you better at it! Men typically involve themselves with "yang" activities so the meditative and restorative characters of the practice help create balance between the mind / body / spirit. That balance is not something you'll find with any other activity.
When did you start practicing yoga? Good question - I started doing yoga almost 20 years ago.
What motivated you to begin a practice? I started practicing yoga because of a high stress job and injuries from running.
How has yoga helped you in your daily life? Yoga has helped me to find more calmness, and has allowed me to be more aware of my body and to develop more stability within my body and my mind.
What are some reasons why men in particular should do yoga? Flexibility is an issue with a lot of men, and over time the practice allows for more opening physically. Yoga is also beneficial in combination with the athletic pursuits that many men do. Yoga is not just for the body but helps men to connect their body and their mind together and to be able to find calmness that is not as easy to find in other physical forms of exercise.
A lot of men are hesitant to get in to yoga, what would you say to encourage them to begin a yoga practice? I would encourage them to keep an open mind. Try different teachers and find the one you are most comfortable with. Try not to approach yoga like you do other forms of exercise - "muscling through it" doesn't work with yoga. Try to learn both the effort and also how to let go and yield into the work.
Our top picks for men:
For flexibility...
Yin Yoga
Restorative & Yin
For strength...
Strengthening Flow
Vinyasa Flow
Yoga Sculpt
For mental fortitude...

Reserve a Rental
Why Rent a Breastpump? Affordable Hospital-Grade Quality Renting a breastpump provides you with the best quality, hospital-grade equipment on a low cost basis. For most mothers, renting is cheaper than spending hundreds of dollars on a purchased breastpump, and allows you to pay as you go with low monthly fees. Renting is a particularly good option when you need the best equipment and aren't sure how long you'll need the pump, because you stop paying for the pump in the month that you return it. Plus with monthly rental, you pay each month as you go, making rental easy on your budget.
We provide an affordable, simple and hassle free rental experience to support breastfeeding. Moms use breastpumps for a variety of reasons from back-to-work, to making breastmilk available for bottle-feeding by a partner or caregiver, to oversupply, to poor latch, etc. All our Hygeia breastpumps are ecologically sound and designed for sharing between mothers when each has her own personal accessory set. Our breastpumps are available for rental by the week or month.

The Easton Public Market is proving that technology can be pretty sweet.
On Thursday, Chocodiem, the market's resident high-end chocolatier, introduced a new 3D chocolate printer that creates customized goodies in minutes.
The roughly $3,700 device spits out melted milk, dark, white or vegan chocolate onto parchment paper in any design, guided by modeling software. A simple, flat creation might take just a few seconds to print, while complex 3D models can take up to 45 minutes.
Chocodiem, named last year one of North America's 10 best chocolatiers, collaborated with the Easton-based scanning and printing shop 3DReactions on the project.
Check out the printer in action:
The partnership began when Chocodiem owner (and Belgian native) JP Hepp sought someone to help him make chocolate models of the Centre Square bugler for Heritage Day.
The two companies linked up and together purchased the machine, which will spend time at both the Easton Public Market and Chocodiem's original location in Clinton, New Jersey. 3DReactions owner John Majersky programs the software and handles the technical side, while Hepp provides the chocolate.
The team has printed inch-high flower-like designs, along with 2D creations like the outline of the bugler, company logos and a variety of simple messages.
If you want your own printed chocolate, a 2D phrase like "Thank You" or "I Love You" start at $10. 3D prints will start at $20, and vary based on the size, customization and complexity. For added customization, Chocodiem is already well-versed in chocolate painting.
Hepp is planning to host public demonstrations for anyone who wants to see the 3D printer in action. To make an appointment or place an order, call 610-829-2722 or chocodiem.com.
Precise temperature and humidity are required to keep the 3D-printed chocolates stable. Ideally, Majersky said, the room will be 66 to 70 degrees with 40 percent humidity as the chocolate is printed. Any hotter than that, and the result will melt in the process. (The appropriate temperature varies a bit based on the type of chocolate.)
Megan McBride, the district director for the Easton Public Market, said she was excited to see a vendor collaborating with an Easton business outside of the market. She sees the 3D printer as further evidence of Hepp's reputation as an innovator.
"He never disappoints," she said. "He's always on to the next thing."

At UN Assembly, South American leaders urge commitment with global development goals
🔎 Sustainable Development Goals; UN General Assembly
Addressing the general debate at the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly, leaders from South American countries urged the global community for greater cooperation and collaboration in addressing a range of pressing issues – from poverty to security challenges.
Underscoring the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), David Granger, the President of Guyana, said that the Goals represent the international community's collective desire and determination to eradicate hunger and poverty, and ensure equal opportunities in education, employment and social justice for both men and women.
However, advancement of these Goals, he noted, is obstructed by violations of human rights, as well as by conflicts and violence that is displacing many from their homes, adding that the challenge before the UN is "to resolve to reinforce respect for the rights of citizens within the governance structures of [its] Member States."
He also underscored the need to combat the impact of climate change, and expressed his country's commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change.
"Climate change is not a fiction of a few extremists," said the President, noting that most recently, Caribbean islands and North American countries had felt the devastating impact of five successive hurricanes.
Also in his remarks, the Guyanese President reiterated that humanity must continue to striving for peace and highlighted the important role the UN through the International Criminal Court and the Security Council have in ensuring peace and respect for justice.
"Peace for the world's peoples is the mandate of the UN. It can be achieved by addressing the world's humanitarian crises, promoting justice within and between nations and resolving long-standing conflicts between states," he concluded.
Also speaking today, Horacio Manuel Cartes Jara, the President of Paraguay, underscored the importance of the UN in confronting global challenges such as poverty and inequality, climate change, transnational crime, drug trafficking and terrorism.
Reaffirming his country's commitment for the implementation of the Paris Agreement, President Cartes Jara urged all States, and in particular those with greater responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions, to take all necessary measures to preserve the planet from the consequences of global warming.
"In Paraguay, we have taken a social responsibility perspective, by fostering greater production of clean and renewable energy," he said.
The President also informed the Assembly of Paraguay's efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including building an innovative and inclusive institutional architecture to advance progress towards the SDGs and targets.
He also spoke of work in his country to combat poverty, build opportunities for the indigenous and rural communities, promote greater investments, as well as increase transparency and efficiency in Government processes.
Turning to the crisis emanating from the nuclear weapon development programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the President reiterated Paraguay's condemnation of the nuclear tests conducted by the DPRK, in clear defiance of its international obligations, and urged a "firm rejection" by the UN General Assembly of such acts by the country.
Also addressing the General Assembly today, President Lenín Moreno Garcés of Ecuador said the road to achieving peace and successfully implementing the SDG's depends on cooperation and dialogue.
Reflecting on misuse of resources, the President asked: "How could it be possible that resources allocated to implementing the SDG's have been wasted on the absurdity of war?"
He added that fallout from conflicts extends beyond economic damages – they also rob people of "true freedom and democracy."
For this reason, he said, it is important to respect sovereignty of States and reject the notion that militarism is the solution, which, he stressed "brings suffering, pain and death."
Also in his remarks, Mr. Garcés informed the General Assembly of a temporary bilateral ceasefire signed just a few days ago in the Ecuadorian capital, Quito, between Government of Colombia and an armed group, as an example of regional strides towards achieving peace.
In conclusion, the President expressed optimism about coexisting in "a more human, and just world," can be attributed to the power of dialogue, political decision-making power, and collective action.

While on set with Charlie Hunnam for EW's exclusive first look at King Arthur, the former Sons of Anarchy star — in between push-up sets, of course — introduced us to his take on the legendary character. "First of all, it's the Guy Ritchie Arthur. We meet him as a street urchin," Hunnam said. "There's nothing noble about him in the beginning."
For Hunnam, a big perk of taking on the role is the hardware, and while this Arthur isn't like any we've ever seen before, he's still wielding the sword we all know: Excalibur.
"It's a beautiful sword. They did a lovely job designing it," he said. "There are some ancient characters and a little bit of that folded steel effect that you see a lot on Japanese knives these days. I was so excited when I saw this crystal. It took me back to my childhood, putting marbles on the top of my swords or my staff that I built myself."
There is a downside, however. As sweet as it must be to swing a sword around for a few months, the actor-weapon relationship eventually comes to a bitter end. "I've been spending a huge amount of time with this sword, and I've been told that under no circumstances am I allowed to steal it when the film is finished," Hunnam said. "But we'll see about that."

After 260 episodes and five years of The Tennis Podcast, our downloadable tennis radio show, we are asking for your help to keep it going in 2017, and to make it bigger and better than ever.
When we recorded the first show in 2012, it was a labour of love, as it remains today - just two people with the good fortune to work in Tennis, talking about their favourite sport.
Over the years, Andy Murray, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova and Andy Roddick joined us on the show, listeners got involved on Twitter and Facebook, and we all made rubbish predictions about what we thought would happen in tournaments all over the world.
We covered Andy Murray's first Grand Slam title win in 2012, Roger Federer's 17th, and Serena Williams' pursuit of the all-time records.
We debated issues - what to do with Davis Cup, what to do with Nick Kyrgios, Maria Sharapova's failed drugs test and many more.
We produced special shows about the greatest players, tournaments, matches, upsets and comebacks, we played time-machine tennis, and we asked when tennis made you cry.
We were gatecrashed mid-show by a tree, by an angry US Open bus driver, by Rosie the Dog.
And we started the much loved/hated weekly feature Poll Vault - where David excitedly posed countless inspired/inane, relevant/hypothetical, thought-provoking/unanswerable questions, and Catherine audibly rolled her eyes.
Over the past two years we produced the show weekly - published every Monday - and in 2016 we produced daily shows from Wimbledon and the US Open.
We want to keep going in 2017, but to do that, and to achieve our goal of making more shows than ever before, we need your help.
As much as we love it, the show takes a lot of time, effort, energy and expense to put together, and we can't continue as we have been doing. A bit of advertising/sponsorship has helped a little recently, but it isn't enough on its own in the long-term, and we are hoping that you can also pitch in.
If funded to our minimum goal of £10,000, we will continue to produce the show on a weekly basis, and we will also build an official Tennis Podcast website. As you will see from the below funding goals, we would like to do much more more than that.
At £10,000 - We will produce a minimum of 45 weekly tennis podcasts in 2017.
At £15,000 - We will produce a minimum of 45 weekly shows and 45 Grand Slam daily podcasts in 2017.
- Beyond £15,000 - Depending on how much is raised, and how much time we have, we will look to produce Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Student Matt blogs, a Tennis Podcast shop and Periscope/Facebook Live sessions. And if we have enough, we can look at travelling to do big interviews.
Finally ...

Risks and challenges
Having produced more than 260 episodes of The Tennis Podcast we are experienced in delivering the show and do not foresee any problems, health permitting.
Even when David had a minor cold (he called it flu), and Catherine lost her voice, we were able to produce the show, either delayed by a few days or with a guest.
Obviously in the unfortunate event of something more serious, this may be more problematic, but we will do everything within our power to deliver the shows as promised.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Today I want to talk to you about something I think is pretty important when sewing for children: taking a little extra time whilst sewing to make sure your seams are nice and strong. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Take, for instance, these cute little shorts I made for Clementine last week from my Parsley Pants pattern (shortened into shorts; see the how-to post here):
They look pretty innocent and adorable, right? What you don't see, though, is that on the inside they have…
SUPER SEAMS!! That's right. Don't be fooled by the cuteness, people. These shorts are made to last.
When I began making clothing for my children six years ago (for BABY Elliot!), I used a pinking shears to trim the seams, figuring that would help keep them from fraying. The trouble is that kids are pretty rough on their clothes. All that crawling and rolling and running around? After washing the clothes multiple times I started to notice fraying seams, which led to holes. It felt like a waste of time to spend precious nap hours making a pair of pants for Elliot, only to go back and fix them later. It was always worst with the pants and shorts.
Now when I make my kids shorts or pants, I have three ways I like to "finish" my seams. But first, let's review the basic steps of sewing a pair of shorts or pants with the help of this handy-dandy infographic (by the way, these steps are outlined in MUCH greater detail, along with hints, in both my Parsley Pants Pattern and in my Newborn Pant tutorial, which comes with a free pattern):
Step 1: First, you need to sew the center ("crotch") seams, for both the front and back. This is done by placing the two pieces of the shorts together and sewing the front and back curved edges.
Step 2: Sew the legs together: open up the pant, pin the center seams together, and sew up one leg and down the other. This seam is also called the "inseam."
Step 3: For basic pants or shorts, an elastic waistband can be made by folding and pressing the top edge 1/4″ towards the inside of the shorts, folding another 1-1.5″ down, and then stitching along the lower fold to form a casing for the elastic. Then you thread the elastic through the waistband, stitch the ends together, and close the hole. I always put a little piece of folded ribbon in the hole before I sew it shut so my kids can tell front from back when they're getting dressed.
Step 4: Hem the bottom of the shorts by folding and pressing 1/4″ twice towards the inside of the shorts and then stitching that second fold down. You can make a wider hem by folding 1/4″ and then 1," or replace the 1″ with whatever width you want!
OK, so now that you have the basics, let's take a look at three ways to finish a seam to make it a SUPER SEAM! (Instructions follow photos.)
SUPER SEAM #1: Fold and stitch down
I use this seam finish most often when sewing the center seams (step 1 in the basic steps above). First, to make the seam itself stronger, I use a "5 stitches forward, 2 stitches back" approach, meaning I stitch forward a spell, then back a couple stitches, forward a bunch, back a couple, and so on. This insures that the stitches themselves won't pull out with wear. Then to prevent the seam allowance from fraying, fold each side under on either side of the seam, and stitch the folded edges down. A quick easy seam finish that takes almost NO extra time! Here's what it looks like from the outside:
SUPER SEAM #2: Flat fell
I use this seam finish most often on inseams (step 2 in the basic steps above). After sewing the seam, trim one side of the seam allowance to half the width of the other, fold the bigger side around the trimmed side (to enclose it, if you will), press it flat and stitch it down. Takes a little extra time but has the added advantage of being super strong AND looking awesome.
SUPER SEAM #3: Serge and stitch down
If you have a serger, you can finish seams quickly just by running them through the serger after you've sewn them. Once you've serged them, press them to one side and stitch them down. Main disadvantage: You need to own a serger. But for speed reasons, this is definitely my preferred method.
UPDATE: If you don't own a serger, you can use a zig zag stitch over the edges for the same effect — works just as well, just doesn't look quite the same.
Note: I don't usually use the serger to sew the seam itself, because if I make a mistake or need to adjust something once I've tried it on a kid, a serged seam is a heckuva lot harder to un-sew.
Here's what this finish looks like from the outside:
So that's it! I often use a combination of two or more of these finishes on one garment. I think you'll find that using these three seam finishes, you'll be able to make clothing for your kids that will last without much extra time invested. Put them on your kids and watch them go!
You can see a few more pictures of the blue shorts in action on Clementine over on this post.

A series of colloidal cobalt nanoparticles of ca. 2.6 nm stabilized by several polymeric stabilizers were synthesized in water using sodium borohydride as reducing agent and subsequently immobilized on TiO2. Both colloidal and TiO2supported NPs were characterized by TEM, HRTEM, XRD, XPS, TGA and ICP techniques and the catalytic performance of the supported NPs evaluated in the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. Important differences in terms of activity were observed depending on the polymeric stabilizers used for the synthesis of the CoNPs. These differences were correlated with the catalyst reducibility, the presence of polymer stabilizer and boron and the reduction degree at the metal surface. From the tested catalysts, the NPs prepared in the presence of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) as stabilizer resulted to be the most active of the series, which was correlated with the higher reducibility of this catalyst.

Malaysian Soccer League must surely top the list in the world to have made the most number of changes to their format and composition of the League over the years.
Organised soccer competition in this country can see history trace as far back as the 1920s. Thirty years before that, soccer was already played in all parts of Malaya and Borneo - mostly localised with frequent inter-state matches which were greatly social events rather than full-blooded matches.
But the visit of H.M.S. Malaya, the battleship presented by the then Federated Malay States to the British Navy during the First World war, to Malaya in 1921 opened a new era for soccer in the country.
Captain Buller, his officers and men, in gratitude for the hospitality shown them by their Malayan hosts, presented a trophy - the H.M.S Malaya Cup - and the rest is history. It was this Cup which undoubtedly inspired the formation of the Football Association of Malaya.
The only break the Malaya Cup experienced and later the Malaysia Cup from 1967, was from 1942-1947 during the war years.
|The pride of Malaysian soccer
One would have thought with such rich history, Malaysian soccer would have by now been a permanent fixture which is recognised by the world.
Surprise, surprise. Malaysian soccer is still undergoing changes.
According to FAM deputy president, Tan Sri Anuar Musa who is the chairman of the Malaysian Soccer League (MSL), all this while - 16 years of professional soccer to be exact - the M-League has been professional in the name only. This I have been saying from day one the league went Semi-Pro league. It is only now that it has dawned upon the powers of soccer, that Malaysian soccer is not professional.
There is now recommendations made to the FAM Exco in what is said to be an effort to raise the standard of M-League and management of teams. Among them is for teams to sever links between teams and their respective state FAs, return of foreign players (shut out since 2009) and the reduction of the number of teams in the Super League.
Seriously, we have been there and done that. What is new in these suggestions?
Sever links between teams and respective state FAs? Just look at the many teams managed independently by corporate organisations and clubs. How many have folded up after a few seasons.
Malaysian soccer is State FA based...full stop.If State FAs cannot manage their teams with all the support from the FA of Malaysia, imagine how teams are going to survive independently.After all, it is going to be the same people going to helm the teams independently.
If the soccer powers persist to continue to sever the ties with State FA, it will change the face of Malaysian soccer and it will take probably another two decades to just get it right, if they actually succeed.
Reducing the number of teams? So much for professionalism. Announcing the reduction midway in the season! In any case, what guarantee is that reducing the number of teams means seeing quality? Yes it will see a rush of the better players trying to find a place in teams in the Super League, but it is the same faces plying their trade and will that see quality of the League improve?
Oh yes! Foreign players. I had written so much about it and it just falls on deaf ears.
My concern is that local players will be scarified for foreign players and our national team is going to suffer without doubt.
Maybe, we can allow a foreign player from the Asian region to add some some excitement to the League, and that should suffice for foreign influx.
If foreign players are allowed back, teams are going to make a mad-rush for goalkeepers, midfielders and strikers. If ten teams are playing in the Super League next year, it means 30 local players will warming the bench! And despite saying that quality foreign players will be sought, we have seen it happen time and again in the past, when we have had seen half baked foreign players and in some instances even worse than out local players playing for teams.
When one pays peanuts for foreign players, then they get "monkeys".
And do the teams have resources to pay big money for foreign players? Will the huge sums of money be better utilised to have solid development programmes and have competitive local leagues in their respective states which will surely have better yield.
|The future of Malaysian soccer
Just look back at the changes we have made all these years and we are still fine tuning our League!
Little wonder that the younger generation look overseas for their League action!
|Let us not lose this support from the fans

Trauma and development
The effect of abuse, neglect or trauma on the development of a child is a very important but difficult topic to study. Psychologists study the effects of what are called Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's) - that is, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exposure to domestic violence and a substance-abusing parent. Research indicates that the effects of abuse depend on the child's age and gender, as well as the duration...

The credit union may possibly provide other prices and terms or amend the rates and terms contained in this schedule from time to time. While availing property equity loan, there is a need to supply the proof of ownership and the present equity in the property. For extended term rewards of the cash you have borrowed such as property repairs and debt consolidation, it is advised that you apply for home equity loan rates. That signifies you've got $200,000 in property equity, and could borrow against a portion of that via a house equity loan. Whilst the very best HELOC rates are virtually always reduced than the greatest home equity loan rates, that shouldn't be your only consideration. It really is crucial to comprehend the specifics of your property equity loan or HELOC, and how loans differ.
The potential threat element is that the rate is not fixed and as it is usually tied to the prime price. With a great credit report a lender will be in a position to access up to 125 % of the property equity at a low interest rate. We'll also discuss shopping guidelines, including what to watch for with costs and how to make certain you'll get the very best rates.
Low, NON-VARIABLE interest rate for life of loan – Your payment will constantly stay the identical for the life of the loan – no surprises! So even if you are presented a loan by the holder of your mortgage, it's worthwhile to check out what the competition has to supply. With a home equity line of credit, you will not get a lump-sum payment like you would with a house equity loan. With a fixed home equity loan price, you are going to by no means have to be concerned about interest rates. Your actual APR will be determined based on Home Variety, Loan Quantity, Loan to Value Ratio and Credit History.
Lending Tree also has a plan that will loan you up to 125% of your equity depending on your credit history. If submitting the request in writing, you need to offer the loan quantity, the house address, and the anticipated date of the payoff. In Texas, property equity loans are only offered on collateral properties that are single family members, major residences. It would be practical to open a fixed-price home equity loan or a HELOC with your current mortgage lender.
Apply right now for a Property Equity Loan and use it for new projects, debt consolidation and a lot more. Tip #1: Pull your credit report: Even although your loan will be lent against the equity in your residence as collateral, the price for which you are eligible is still primarily based largely upon your credit score. Simply because residence equity loans are a kind of residence mortgage, the interest paid on them is generally tax deductible. And when authorized, you can close your loan at any Frost financial center (unless your loan is more than $500,000).
