I often find there's a character who just gets my panties in a twist whenever they show up and figured others might like a place to come and vent about these awful fictional people you'd love to call up and bitch out but can't because they're not real. Come here to vent your illogical but very real frustration!
My hatred today is for Kaifun from SDF Macross, who sucks so much. SO much. He's the biggest priggishly idealistic naive reject I've ever come across. He can be found disgorging pacifist notions like how we should just stop fighting the race of giants who are attacking us unprovoked, or how we should have peace so long as the military has nothing to do with it because my name's Kaifun and the military is unequivocally bad. Intransigent. Puerile. Naive. Incestuous. Douche. These words describe this awful, awful character.
So vent, vent away. Maybe you'll find a kindred spirit or maybe someone who enlightens you as to why a character doesn't suck quite as much as you think. If a reasonably similar topic's already been posted please direct me there.

One character really stands out as my least favorite: Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto franchise. I haven't actually seen all of Shippuden or even the original. I've only seen the first half of both series. Maybe I haven't seen enough to make this judgement, but it seems he pretty much stays the same throughout the series.

|My most loathed anime character is probably Makoto Itou from School Days because he's a spoiler[cheating] scumbag who deserved everything he got spoiler[which was death. ]

Is it just me or have the recent threads started going real negative?
Anyway, to answer your question, I don't have a character I loathe (actually I might have, I just can't remember at the moment), but there are characters I deeply dislike. Any useless male lead of a harem series - by useless I mean dependent on the women plus cannot pick out one of the women surrounding him - I definitely dislike. Case in point, Rosario + Vampire's Aono Tsukune.

Characters I absolutely despise
*Chibi-Usa from Sailormoon. Not only is she useless, but she's f**king annoying. I absolutely loathe precocious little brats like this who think they're so smart and mature....then they can't do shit to back it up. Lol, you suck.
*Yuuka from Elfen Lied. Complete Bitch. Wish Lucy had killed her. She was the ugliest one too.
*Sakuya from Tenchi in Tokyo. Bad fanfiction-originated self-insert Mary-Sue of epic proportions. Just die already.
There are male characters I hate too....but they're just manga ones, either because their anime counterparts weren't as bad or there isn't an anime of their series.

Definitely a good opportunity to vent on some characters:
-Makoto Itou (School Days)- Someone already vented reasons for why I would hate this guy. The worst male lead for a romance anime I've come across.
-Dan'ichiro Sanka (Sankarea)- A recent character I detest. His disturbing and twisted mentality and treatment of Rea combined with spoiler[not getting any kind of repercussions for his actions by Rea and Chihiro] have me very irritated with the guy.
-Tsukasa Doumyoji (Hana Yori Dango)- Worst choice for a potential love interest I've come across in an anime. I never really understood what Tsukushi seen in the guy considering spoiler[he nearly raped her at one point from being jealous and attempted to get her expelled from the school because of Tsukushi falling for Rui, who isn't much better as a possible choice for love.]
-Saori Shikijou (Mahoromatic)- Biggest waste of a character in an anime I've come across. She contributed nothing in the series except for being a sleazebag trying to molest Suguru, freeloading at his house and butting heads with Mahoro.

Albert from Gankutsuou. He nearly ruined the series for me. Incredibly stupid, naive, annoying and an absolutely horrible judge of character. He ignores all of his friends' advice and the suspicious goingons and instead just throws hissyfits because his massive mancrush on the Count completely blinds him to the obvious. It was so sweet that I nearly cheered when spoiler[the Count finally revealed that he'd been playing Albert all along and shot him in cold blood... except that he somehow managed to survive and came back to ruin the ending with more of his naive idealistic crap.] AAARGH!
Shu from Now and Then, Here and There. Another stupid, naive kid. What makes Shu incredibly irritating is that he has the gall to be constantly preaching his crap, even though the ONLY reason he manages to avoid all the horrible things that happen to other characters is his ludicrous amounts of sheer dumb luck.

My vote for most loathsome character (if you can call her a character) would go to Fuzzy from the Nadia movie.
I have nothing against moe in principle, but Fuzzy represents a complete betrayal of everything essential to the original series. For a series whose theme song contains the lyric "I don't like timid people" and which stars the inspiring character of Nadia to end up in a film starring a spoiler[dead robot girl] is disappointing.
And Jean falling in love with her? Come on.

Having finished watching Aquarion Evol, recently, I'd say that Mikage.
Also, School Day's Mikoto, Shugo Chara's Tadase (for some reason, I just can't seem to stand his face) or his personality, Steins; Gate's Kurisu Makise's Father, Ali Al-Saachez from Gundam 00, and Dung Beetle "Koemushi" from Bokurano from the top of my head.

I'm not a fan either. Though he doesn't fill me with rage like the other characters I mentioned do.

Kagami from Lucky Star, she annoys the crap out of me, I hate the way she treats Konata, I know she's a Tsundere but can't she be nicer to her friends. Also I hate Ash Ketchum in the Unova region, he acts like a total idiot loosing battles with a Pikachu that's supposed to be like a level trillion at this point and the fact that he doesn't evolve his Pokemon, also the fact that he claims that all his Pokemon are his "Buddies" when he doesn't even use half of them, also the fact he doesn't keep promises, he hasn't seen Pidgeoto since he got the GS ball and well, ten years later he still hasn't seen it. I also hate Arimi from Marmalade boy, every time I see her i just want to smack her. I also hate Patty from Lucky Star, her voice is annoying as heck and I just want to smack her, she's the perfect definition of what a weeaboo is.

Holy crap, I love you. I thought I was the only one who thought she was a stuck-up bitch! But yeah....she acts like she's so much better than the other three and I hate how negative her attitude is towards anime and the like.
So many people worship her....and that doesn't help. She's a VERY overrated character.

|I tend to loathe loathsome characters. Not because they are mean ol bad guys without a conscious, but because they are consistently the worst written characters in anime. Want a loathsome character? Have him be a meanie... kick puppies, take candy from babies, poison the water, laugh maniacally at the misfortune of others, wax philosophical at the awesomeness of evil... because someone has to be. through all of anime I think I've only ever seen one truly loathsome character that I think was written very well, Takumi from NANA. The Marquis from Gosick, about 90% of the characters in Deadman Wonderland, the villainess in Shangri-La.... sometimes some token explanation will be given for being utter bastards- but the standard practice is lazy writing.

I also have to say that I could not get very far into The Familiar of Zero because of Louise. I thought the story had a fun idea there, but she went beyond tsundere for me. She was so nasty, mean and cruel that I couldn't watch anymore. Maybe her attitude and actions were supposed to be funny in a sadistic way, but it was a giant turn off for me.

i'll chip in Yamato Akitsuki from Suzuka, although in all honesty i'm not sure why, i kinda purged my memories of this after watching it cause for some reason he just really, really annoyed me, i truly hated his character for some reason
but its just him, i watch most high school romance shows that air and have watch plenty that have aired already and out of all the different character types, from the weak willed and spineless to the overconfident wannabe player he's the only one that i developed any hatred for
if i felt like going back over it i'd find out why i didn't like him, but i get the feeling the experience would be about as painful to me as plunging my hand into a jar of razorblades and salt, despite people telling me it was a great series, although that may have been the manga....

Hales Corners — Give children a pile of LEGOS, and they will amaze.
Children created a replica of the village of Hales Corners from thousands of LEGOs on Thursday, June 19, at the public library with the help of a local architect.
Local institutions like city hall, Hales Corners Elementary School and the police and fire stations were all created by participants — so were unexpected additions from kids' creative imaginations, like an army base, an airport, a hot dog stand on an island in the middle of a lake, and a park and pool where an ice skating troll makes ice skates for residents.
"It's a hoot," said John Peine, architect and LEGO program facilitator. "The scenarios are what are cool. You never know what you are going to get."
Peine and his wife, Sylvia, an art teacher, have led children in LEGO building for the last 20 years. Sylvia used to work for LEGO and John, as an architect, used to use LEGOs at events through the American Institute of Architects Wisconsin chapter.
The two have also made innumerable demonstrations at school high interest days, the Milwaukee Art Museum and Milwaukee School of Engineering.
About 85,000 LEGOs filled the library basement tables as kids sifted through 120 color-coded shoeboxes to create the city landmark of their choice or their home. Once completed, buildings were arranged on 10 banquet tables, which were divided by West Forest Home Avenue and South 108th Street.
John began the program by teaching kids that "arch" in the word "architect" means "master" and "tect" means "builder." He urged all participants to be a "master builder," a phrase he pulled from "The Lego Movie."
This is the library's second year constructing the village out of LEGOs. In April, John created a 40-foot K'Nex bridge at the library.
His next project is to visit Wauwaotsa's Public Library to create towers that are 10- to 12-feet tall.
"There's no crying in LEGOs," John said. "It's just a good time."

Our home is situated at about a 3200 feet elevation. Our yard backs up to National Forest land and Queens Lake, which is said to be one of the cleanest and quietest in WNC, is directly in front of us. The lake is stocked with trout. It's perfect for canoeing, fishing, and swimming (no jet-skis or motor boats!). While a boat put-in is directly in front of our house, the jumping off and fishing dock is down the road. Also down our road is a forest road that leads down to route 74. When it's open, this is the short cut to the NOC and all points East. When it's closed, it's a lovely hike with waterfalls, mountain vistas and rock faces. Winding Stairs road was built and named in the late 1800s by the residents of Nantahala to improve their access to goods and services. To build the road, they used dynamite to blast out the sides of the mountain.
Day activities include walking, hiking, biking along the lake and down the forest road, swimming and boating, and fishing in the lake and at nearby rivers, streams and at nearby Otter Creek trout farm. We are close to several trail heads, waterfalls and rivers. We are also close to the NOC and other rafting and outdoor adventure outfitters. If you choose to venture farther away, easy day trips are to Bryson City, Cherokee and Franklin.
Our house has extensive covered porch area - useful for enjoying the outdoors in case of rain - and a nice grassy lawn area. We have a lower porch down the yard with its own grill closer to the lake which is a perfect place for drinks or lunch. We have a fire pit for making Smores or just sitting around. We think our cabin is the perfect mountain escape. The location is extremely peaceful and remote, truly 'away from it all.' We intentionally do not have television so that we can enjoy the many activities of being outdoors and in the mountains. However we do have a Bose iPod dock for playing music. We hope you will enjoy our unique find in the mountains as much as we have.
The house has been remodeled and feels new inside with original hardwood floors throughout. All of the interior furniture is also brand-new.
Sleeping Arrangements: We have 2 bedrooms and a loft sleeping area upstairs, and a futon couch downstairs. The upstairs Master bedroom has a queen size bed, and the guest bedroom has a full size bed. The loft area has a daybed that converts to sleep one or two (full size). The full bath is upstairs.
Home Amenities: We have a fully-stocked kitchen with both a french-press and electric coffee maker, utensils and dinnerware, a dishwasher, gas stove and refrigerator/freezer. There is a wood-stove in the living room that does a great job of warming the house in cold weather, and also electric heating. Though the home does have air-conditioning units, we open up the windows and enjoy the fresh air during the day, and cool air at night. The Master bedroom has its own porch. And finally, we do have a child-proof gate and pack-n-play for families with small children. We do offer sheets and bath towels for our guests' use.
I just wanted to write and thank you SO MUCH for sharing your beautiful home with us. We absolutely loved it and had a wonderful time. I think I slept the best there than I have on any vacation yet! The fresh air (and no TV and internet and cell service) really helped, I know. The girls and my husband and I really loved swimming in the lake and paddling around and going fishing and for long walks. We stayed up late catching fireflies and read a ton of books and got to go to the trout farm and NOC for some day trips. Honestly, it was just nice to have some unscheduled time to play and enjoy each other and that beautiful spot.
We left Saturday and locked everything up. I hope that you find it in order; please let me know if there were any problems.
Thank you, again, and I hope that we may be able to come back!
This was our first getaway since our new born son. Needless to say, we were overdo for some alone time. The property was so peaceful and relaxing. Queens lake was beautiful. We enjoyed taking both our kayaks out on the water, and to our pleasure had the lake to ourselves. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable time together
My family and I loved our stay here. The cabin had everything we needed and enough room for our family of five to be comfortable. Victoria and Rob were wonderful at communication and we had no trouble finding the cabin thanks to their detailed directions. We spent quite a bit of time at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, went whitewater rafting, and ate a few meals at their restaurants, which were great, especially the trout and sherpa rice at River's End. We also spent a day picnicking and tubing at Deep Creek which was a lot of fun.
There was no internet or much cell reception at the cabin, which was good because it forced us all to put down our phones and tablets for a few days. We spent most of our down time exploring the area, playing in the yard, making s'mores in the fire pit, and playing games with the kids at night. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to get away from it all and spend some time enjoying nature.
Such a quite and beautiful place. We rented this place for fall colors during october(2014) and were welcomed with the most beautiful weather and the place was in middle of the woods with lush fall colors. The place is situated on a small hill top overlooking a lake which is accessible if you walk down the driveway. They have a trout farm which is worth going to find fresh fish. The place had all the amenities needed with fully equipped kitchen. They had few board games for the nights and they do have a firepit and bb1 pit outside. Its an absolute quite and beautiful place.They even have an axe if you want to go around and chop some logs. We didn't use the boats, kayaks and noodles they have since the water was shallow during winters but they are available to use . For sight seeing because of time constraints, we went to the nearest town Bryson city and hiked to the 3 waterfalls in Deep Creek area.The hike was easy and the place was very scenic.
Things to do: NOC ( to spend few hours), ride to skyway and fontan dam ( takes 1/2 day), cade's cove(takes a day) ,
Deep Creek --indian creek waterfalls(takes 1/2 day to picnic and hike)
We flew in to Atlanta and drove to the place. One tip is to go to the place during daylight, because of our flight delays we reached the place around 11 PM at night. They have 2 ways to get to this place and for some reason our GPS was showing the way from winding stair way. I would recommend changing the GPS settings to go through the longest route which is more scenic and is paved(Owner should be able to send you the directions through scenic road). We went through the unpaved and had a flat tire, we rented a suv not a 4W. I would highly recommend a GPS since cell phone coverage is very spotty in the woods.
What a fantastic place to stay and enjoy the great outdoors! The cabin was wonderful and the location and scenery were absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate to have 4 days of perfect weather for rafting, zip-lining, and horseback riding during the week. The NOC is a great activity center with so many things to do - or just to sit and enjoy the river.
It was our first trip to the Smoky Mountains and we are definitely looking forward to a return visit!
What a great trip and what a beautiful home! My husband I had such an amazing time at this cabin. Everything was beautiful and so well kept, it really has everything you could possibly need. The deck off the master bedroom was a perfect place for morning coffee, while the deck off the yard was excellent for reading the paper in the sun. While it was too cold for swimming in the lake while we were there, we still loved walking around it at sunset and fishing from the bank and the small pier.
We can't recommend the Otter Creek Trout Farm enough! The owner Alex gave us a tour of his little farm and prepped and cleaned three beautiful trout for us to take home. All we had to do was toss them on the grill whole and enjoy. They were delicious! We also day hiked a piece of the Appalachian Trail and met several thru-hikers along the way. It was nice to experience a little glimpse of their adventure on a scaled down size. The NOC was having junior kayaking trials while we were there and we got to watch a bit of that after taking in a great lunch at the River's End Restaurant. I highly recommend the pizza. We took a day trip to Bryson City as well and we really enjoyed our visit to its little shops and lunch at Bryson City Cork and Bean.
If you are looking for a peaceful getaway to disconnect from the everyday hustle and bustle, this cabin is the place. It was so nice to come back to this quiet hideaway on a private lake after the day's adventures and relax, read a good book, or toast some s'mores over the fire pit under a sky full of stars. Can't wait to come back to this beautiful area. Fantastic!
This home was perfect for our family! We were looking for a well kept home in a peaceful location but still close to the activities we enjoy. We had so much fun canoeing, swimming, fishing, and hiking in the Nantahala Gorge/Mts and created many memories along the way. The home easily accommodated our family (2 adults 4 children). We loved the private setting, the many covered porches, and the lawn space which gave us room to play. We were close enough to the AT for a decent day hike, Otter Creek Trout Farm for a truly wonderful experience, and the NOC for our whitewater rafting trip. Most importantly though was the fact that we had excellent communications with the owners during the process and they were very helpful in guiding us. I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a good place to getaway.
We are situated in the Nantahala Gorge within the Nantahala National Forest. The area is rich in natural beauty with splendid waterfalls, stunning overlooks, and pristine nature. We are located on Queens Creek Lake, a small, quiet, stocked lake perfect for quiet moments fishing, rowboating and swimming in the summer, and are just 10 minutes away from Lake Nantahala with motorboats and more summer fun. We are also within a short drive to the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), the renowned outfitter and whitewater rafting center. There, you can enjoy guided trips down the Nantahala River, eat at one of their many restaurants, go kayaking, mountain biking, and more. We are near a trout fishing farm, the Nantahala River put-in, an AT trailhead, Wayah Bald, Wesser Bald, the Bartram Trail, fly fishing on the Wayah River, and great hiking and biking right out of our backyard. Day trip to Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Franklin, Sylva, Dillsboro, Fontana Lake, and Tsali
Other Activities: hiking, canoeing, fly fishing, freshwater fishing

The man who founded Internet giant Amazon.com is now buying one of the biggest names in American newspapers.
Amazon Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has struck a deal to buy the Washington Post and other newspapers for $250 million. The move came as a complete surprise.
The Post, like most newspapers, has been losing readers and advertisers to the Internet.
Bezos said last year he was certain there wouldn't be printed newspapers in 20 years. Analysts are already speculating on how Bezos might help the Post make money.
The sale of the paper came just two days after the owner of the Boston Red Sox bought the Boston Globe.
Billionaire John Henry purchased the Globe for $70 million, a 93 percent drop from its price of $1.1 billion two decades ago.

Artichoke Gratinata
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
This is a Giada DeLaurentis recipe that I just love. The breadcrumbs and butter over the top, browned nicely, makes this a delicious dish.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lb frozen artichoke heart, thawed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I omit this)
- 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
- 1⁄4 cup marsala wine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Warm the olive oil in a heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the artichoke hearts, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and cook until the artichoke hearts are starting to brown at the edges, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and wine and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Transfer the artichoke mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet used to cook the artichokes.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the bread crumbs.
- Stir in Parmesan and top the artichokes with the bread crumb mixture.
- Bake until the top is golden, about 10 minutes.

This is absolutely one of my favorite side dishes. I also have posted this recipe, not knowing that it was already here. I don't know how to delete my post. But, that being said, this is a 10 star recipe.
This was delicious, I think it was even better the second day. The marsala didn't seem quite as strong, and the flavors seemed to blend even better overnight. I used Trader Joe's breadcrumbs and frozen artichokes.
Yum! I made this as written except that I used panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. It was so good that I could have eaten the entire dish! The pepper flakes give it a nice touch of heat without being in-your-face spicy. This is a definite make again!

text: Dear list, Sorry for trying to reply to old message, probably loosing thread sync. Anyway; A have looked into the revised version of hd_ftdi.c attached into previous message in this thread.. Basically, it seems that this should fix an important bug. What needs to be done now is to review this and eventually merge it into the upstream. I myself cannot review it, I don't know the code that well. And those who can is an extremely sparse resource. When comparing "your" version of hw_ftdi.c with current upstream, most of the changes are formatting, space changes and such, This makes the diff hard to review. I have tried to tear away those changes, just leaving the functional ones in the attached patch. If anyone (WIillem, Paul: are you listening) could check that this patch indeed does the job it would make a review much easier. Cheers, --alec

Mortgage Rates
July 25, 2016 07:52 AM Eastern
Mortgage Rate Lock Recommendation
July 22 2016
Lock:Rates may be heading up
As yesterday, early market trends this morning suggest mortgage rates might inch up today or maybe hold steady. However, those trends often change as the day progresses, so falls remain possible. With those rates still exceptionally low by any standards, we would avoid the risk of future rises and lock our rate today, if we were currently buying a home. But those with stronger nerves and longer to wait before closing may prefer to gamble in the hope of a resumption of recent downward movements in coming days and weeks. Read on for more.
Foreign influences continue to partly drive trends in markets and mortgage rates, especially on days like today when there are no releases of domestic "market moving indicators" published.
At approaching 10:00am ET, yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds, which are usually closely tied to mortgage rates, were a little higher. While those yield trends on those bonds at that time of the morning frequently turn out to be accurate predictors of the direction of travel for the day's mortgage rates, they slow, accelerate or reverse sufficiently often that they can't be relied upon as a basis for making important financial decisions. And, as we've seen recently, the relationship between those and mortgage rates can sometimes become elastic.
Major foreign stock-market indexes were lower across Asia and mixed in Europe earlier, though only moderately so. Twenty-eight minutes after opening, the Dow Jones industrial average was down by -0.13 percent. At 9:50am (ET), crude oil prices stood at $44.42/barrel, compared with the $45.61/barrel seen at roughly the 10:04am (ET) yesterday.
Recent Mortgage Rates
The average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs) yesterday crept up by 2 basis points (a basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percent – see below for a longer explanation), according to Mortgage News Daily. That means that average was 16 basis points lower than it was on June 23, when the Brexit (British exit from the European Union) referendum was held. It remains very low by historical and all but the most recent standards.
The average rate nationwide for a 30-year FRM during the week ending July 21 was 3.45 percent with an average 0.5 point, according to Freddie Mac's latest weekly survey, published yesterday morning. It was 3.42 percent during the week ending July 14, and 3.41 percent seven days before that. This time last year, the average 30-year FRM came in at 4.04 percent.
Freddie Mac chief economist Sean Becketti remarked in a statement accompanying the latest data:
Post-Brexit volatility tapered off over the last two weeks, allowing interest rates to bounce back a bit from their record (10-year Treasury yield) and near-record (30-year mortgage rate) lows. ... With the Federal Reserve on hold and the UK monetary authority taking at least a one-month breather, we don't expect any significant movement in mortgage rates in the near-term. This summer remains an auspicious time to buy a home or to refinance an existing mortgage.
Your Dilemma
There remains a risk in choosing to float or lock your rate. True, there are opportunities for rewards should rates fall further, but there is also a continuing danger of being trapped in an upward cycle that doesn't end before you have to lock.
So those who are cautious may wish to lock today, trading the possibility of further falls in rates for the security of fixing what could potentially be a near-record breaking mortgage deal. Those who like to gamble might prefer to wait awhile before locking, hoping there will be further falls ahead. Only you can decide on the risk with which you personally are comfortable.
Why Mortgage Rates Move
Unlike most other interest rates, those for mortgages (except ones for existing adjustable-rate mortgages) are largely determined by the supply of money into the market from investors and the demand for such loans from consumers. That supply is heavily affected by the amount of risk investors are prepared to sustain in their portfolios. When spooked by economic uncertainty, they tend to buy safer assets, including mortgage securities, which can result in an increased supply of product (cash) that drives down the price (rates). When they're more confident, they tend to invest in riskier but more profitable assets, which reduces the supply of money for home loans, and pushes up rates. A second influence is perceptions of how inflation rates are likely to move over the long term, but that tends to be a less important factor in daily and short-term movements. None of this is to suggest the Federal Reserve doesn't affect mortgage rates; merely that it does so only indirectly.
The relationship between 10-year Treasury bonds and mortgage rates is more complicated. Investors generally view those bonds and mortgage securities as similarly secure havens for their money when they're spooked – with bonds the safer of the two. That means they tend to buy or sell both at the same time, depending on their level of confidence in the U.S. and global economies. So many lenders refer to those particular Treasury yields when setting their rates. Usually, the relationship between 10-year Treasury yields and mortgage rates is surprisingly close, though rates tend to be less volatile, and sometimes the two drift apart a little.
Some Questions Answered
Why, counterintuitively, do bond yields fall when prices for Treasuries rise? It's because you're buying a fixed return on your investment, and the more you pay for the right to that same fixed amount of money, the lower the yield you're going to get. That's a mathematical inevitability.
Why go on about "analysts' consensus forecasts" when reporting economic data? Well, they're often relevant. That's because investors frequently trade ahead of actual data based on those forecasts. So sometimes the difference between what's reported and what was expected can be as important as that between the new number and the one for the previous reporting period.
What is a basis point? Yes, it's 1/100th of 1 percent, but, when it comes to percentage points and basis points, these numbers are often mind-numbingly confusing. To give a purely theoretical example, suppose the best mortgage rate you could have gotten yesterday was 6.00 percent (let's hope it wasn't!), and that rate subsequently dropped by a single basis point. Your new rate would be 5.99 percent.
The Longer Term
In its latest (July) Housing Forecast, published yesterday, Fannie Mae predicts the rate for 30-year FRMs will average 3.5 percent this quarter and over the following nine months, and then inch up to 3.6 percent through the last two quarters of 2017.
This month, Freddie Mac's economists have become noticeably less pessimistic than they have been recently. In their July Outlook report, they forecast that those 30-year FRMs will average 3.6 percent over the whole of this year, and 4.0 percent during 2017. That's very different from last month, when they expected significantly sharper rises.
The Mortgage Bankers Association also lowered its expectations of rate rises in its July Mortgage Finance Forecast. However, it remains more pessimistic than the others, and now reckons that same average rate will creep up most quarters in the foreseeable future, reaching 3.8 percent in the last three months of this year, starting 2017 with a quarterly average of 4.0 percent and ending it with one of 4.4 percent.
You may prefer to see all these numbers as a sign of how difficult it is to forecast rates in this challenging economic environment, rather than as reliable guides to the future.
"Locking" your mortgage means that you and your lender have agreed on an interest rate and price for your home loan. Once your loan is locked, that's the rate and price you get, regardless of what happens in the financial markets. If rates go up, you're protected but if rates go down, you won't benefit either -- you close your loan at the rate you've locked and you can't change it. Locks have expiration dates ranging from 30 to 60 days or more, and the longer your lock period, the more it costs. If you don't close your loan on time, you could end up paying a higher interest rate.
You can lock in your loan at any time during the process. Until you lock your interest rate, you are said to be "floating" your mortgage. The only rule is that you have to lock in before you can close on your purchase or refinance.
The decision to lock or float your loan can have a long term impact so it's important you make the right choice. That's why we offer a quick rundown of the key factors that drive mortgage rates today and everything you need to know.

What is an 'Auction Market'
A market in which buyers enter competitive bids and sellers enter competitive offers at the same time. The price a stock is traded represents the highest price that a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price that a seller is willing to sell at. Matching bids and offers are then paired together and the orders are executed.
BREAKING DOWN 'Auction Market'
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is an example of an auction market. Auction markets differ from over the counter where trades are negotiated. For example, 4 buyers want to buy a share of XYZ and make the following bids: $10.00, 10.02, 10.03 and $10.06. Conversely, there are 4 sellers that desire to sell XYZ and they submitted offers to sell their shares at the following prices: $10.06, 10.09, 10.12 and $10.13. In this scenario, the individuals that made bids/offers for XYZ at $10.06 will have their orders executed. All remaining orders will not immediately be executed and the current price of XYZ will then be $10.06.

Cinnamon and Type 2 Diabetes, Sweet News
Reports about the possible benefits of cinnamon for people who have type 2 diabetes have been circulating for years, and not all of them have been positive. A new study from China, however, bears some sweet news and lends support to the research on the positive side of the issue.
What benefit is cinnamon in type 2 diabetes?
A research team from Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, led by Yan Chen, set out to determine if supplements of cinnamon extract could help control blood sugar (glucose) and triglycerides in people with type 2 diabetes. The investigators used a water extract of cinnamon rather than whole or ground cinnamon.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 66 individuals with type 2 diabetes who were assigned to one of three groups: placebo, 120 mg of cinnamon supplement daily, or 360 mg daily for three months. All the participants were also taking the antidiabetic drug gliclazide, a sulfonylurea like glipizide and glyburide.
After three months, fasting blood glucose levels were significantly lower in patients who took cinnamon: an average of 1.01 mmol/L in the low-dose group and 1.62 mmol/L in the high-dose group. No change was observed in the placebo group.
Triglyceride levels also were significantly lower in the low-dose group by an average of 0.78 mmol/L, but only slightly lower in the high-dose group.
Based on their findings, the researchers proposed "that cinnamon be considered a promising supplement for the therapy of type 2 diabetes when hyperglycemia cannot be satisfactorily controlled by other strategies such as diet, exercise, and prescribed medication."
They also noted that "the effect of cinnamon on blood glucose control is likely dependent on the form of cinnamon used for the patients," and that the "different extraction methods might affect the efficacy of cinnamon." Some studies, however, have seen good results with other forms of cinnamon.
