Pat Ruddy presents an intensive pictorial excursion from the first tee to the eighteenth green and discusses many intriguing golf design concepts on the way.
This book was kindly donated to the EIGCA Library by Paul O'Brien.
First written by Guy Bennett, a pre-war Secretary of the club, it has been extensively edited and added to by John Churchill, who has been a member of the Club for 55 years and studied the "archaeology" of the courses. This is available only as a Kindle e-book from Amazon, but Mr Churchill has kindly deposited a hard copy with the EIGCA Library.

Kuchar edges out Laird in Barclays playoff
By Larry Fine
After hitting his drive into heavy rough on the left side, Kuchar punched a low approach shot that landed short of the firm green, hopped on and rolled to the back before turning left and following a slope down toward the cup.
Kuchar, 32, sank the three-foot putt for a winning birdie at the 470-yard par-four 18th and raised his arms in triumph.
"That shot came out beautifully," said Kuchar. "That was an exciting way to cap off this tournament."
Said Laird: "You got to smile. You can't do anything about that. He had a great shot."
Kuchar came from five strokes back to reach the playoff, posting a bogey-free five-under-par 66, while overnight leader Laird shot level-par 71 at Ridgewood Country Club for his 12-under-par 272 total.
Laird had opened the door for his rival when he bogeyed the final hole of regulation, three-putting from 23 feet after missing a seven-footer for par.
Kuchar, who claimed his third U.S. Tour win, guaranteed himself a place in the 30-man Tour Championship with a victory that moved him to the top of the FedExCup list.
"There's nothing like the feeling of winning a PGA Tour golf tournament," said Kuchar, who succeeded Tiger Woods as U.S. Amateur champion in 1997. "You feel like you are the best player in the world for this week."
Americans Steve Stricker (66) and Kevin Streelman (68) tied for third place on 10-under-par 274, while Woods ensured his place in next week's FedExCup Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston by shooting 67 for 277 and a tie for 12th.
The top 100 in FedExCup standings advanced to round two.
The 27-year-old Laird, who led by three strokes after the third round, looked on his way to victory when he birdied his first two holes Sunday before falling back with double-bogey at the par-five third hole and another bogey at the next.
The Scot two-putted for birdie at the par-five penultimate hole to reclaim a one-stroke lead over Kuchar before his bogey at the last hole of regulation.
"Obviously not the finish I was looking for," said Laird, who won last year's PGA stop in Las Vegas, and vaulted from 95th place to third in the FedExCup standings.
"But I'm very proud of the way I played today. I didn't feel like I had my best game."
The overall leader at the end of the series, will pocket a $10 million bonus.
It was the first win of a sterling season for Kuchar, who will make his U.S. Ryder Cup debut after registering 10 top 10 finishes this year, including a tie for sixth at the U.S. Open and for 10th at this month's PGA Championship.
"It's been an awesome year," said Kuchar. "I knew if I kept putting myself in contention that I would break through."

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — A Burlington County man stands accused of using his position as a store manager to steal Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) numbers and putting them into a phone controlled by someone who was paying him $1,000 to do so, federal authorities announced.
Jonathan Katz, 40 of Marlton, is charged by complaint with one count of gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig. He has been released on $100,000 unsecured bond.
In May, authorities said Katz used his credentials as a manager at a telecommunications store to access several customer accounts and steal their SIM numbers. Authorities didn't say who his employer was.
He swapped the SIM numbers associated with the customers' phone numbers into mobile devices controlled by another person who was not identified by federal authorities.
That person was then able to control the customers' phones and access the customers' electronic accounts, authorities said. Katz was paid in Bitcoin, which authorities said they traced back to his cryptocurrency account.
Five customers were victimized between May 11 and May 19, according to the affidavit of probable cause. Two were from New Jersey, and there was one each from California, Tennessee and Wyoming.
The technique Katz is accused of using, known as "SIM Swapping," is often used to get past the two-factor authentication systems to access email, social media, and financial accounts, among other things, authorities said.
If convicted, Katz faces up to five years in prison and a fine of not more than $250,000 or twice the pecuniary gain to the defendant or twice the gross loss involved, whichever is greatest.
Princeton University researchers recently conducted a test of five major cell phone providers to see how easy it is to engage in this practice, according to Security National Bank. They were successful in 39 of 50 attempts.
The Federal Communications Commission has these tips on how to protect yourself against SIM fraud:
How to Protect Yourself
- Be Proactive: If you don't already have a PIN or a password to verify your identity when calling about your account, contact your phone company and ask about adding one.
- Stay Vigilant: Enable both email and text notifications for financial and other important accounts. If you receive notice that changes to your account have been made without your knowledge, contact the business holding that account immediately to let them know that you didn't authorize a change.
- Don't Respond: If someone calls or texts you and asks for personal information, do not provide it. If the caller claims to be from a business you are familiar with, hang up and call that business using a number you trust, such as the number on your bill, in a phone book or on the company's website.
- Don't overshare: Guard personal details that can be used to verify your identity – such as the last four digits of your Social Security number, your phone number, your date of birth, the make and model of your car, your pet's name, or your mother's maiden name. And keep that information off social media.
Act Quickly
Typically, loss of service on your device – your phone going dark or only allowing 911 calls – is the first sign this has happened, authorities said. Anyone who suspect they have been a victim of a SIM Swap scam should:
- Contact your phone company
- Contact your bank and other financial institutions
- File a police report
- Place a fraud alert on your credit reports and get copies of your report
Anyone who feels that they have been the victim of a SIM Swap scam can file a complaint with the FCC for free.

2 - 4 Weken
The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery." This is the novel that Upton Sinclair used to show horrific practices in the meatpacking industry in the first part of the twentieth century. Like most of Sinclair, the book ultimately becomes a paen to socialism. But the man could write, whatever his politics were, and ewww!, the meatpackers were up to no damn good at all anyway. Highly recommended.

A FedEx Fake News Piece Shows Why Americans Distrust the Mainstream Media | Opinion
The headline was designed to shock. And imply that something was terribly wrong—even corrupt—with the people running one of America's biggest companies. "How FedEx cut its tax bill to $0" read a banner headline on the front page of the business section of The New York Times on November 17, 2019.
The headline seemed odd to me because I know a lot about FedEx. As do many of the people who live near me, close to Memphis, Tennessee, home to the company's worldwide headquarters and one of its big distribution hubs. But more about FedEx, Memphis and the real story later. Let's get back to the Times, and its deceptive op-ed posing as a news story.
Here are the opening paragraphs:
"In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing. What changed was the Trump administration's tax cut—for which the company had lobbied hard.
"The public face of its lobbying effort, which included a tax proposal of its own, was FedEx's founder and chief executive, Frederick Smith....
"Four months later, President Trump signed into law the $1.5 trillion tax cut that became his signature legislative achievement. FedEx reaped big savings, bringing its effective tax rate from 34 percent in fiscal year 2017 to less than zero in fiscal year 2018."
The implication from the headline and opening paragraphs was plain as day: FedEx lobbied hard for a tax break so it could dodge taxes, with the Republican Party and President Donald Trump's help.
I can't speak for other companies in America, but I feel compelled to speak for my hometown company and its founder, Fred Smith. The company Smith started in 1971 now employs 490,000 workers worldwide, ships over 15 million packages each day and has a fleet of 180,000 motorized vehicles and 678 airplanes (more than Air France or Lufthansa).
Smith was born in a small Mississippi Delta town called Marks. It didn't take long for life to hand him his first obstacle: a crippling bone disease that sidelined him for a chunk of his youth. By the age of 10, he'd regained his health and became a good athlete. By 15, he'd learned to fly an airplane.
A Yale graduate who studied economics, Smith didn't join the anti-war movement when he graduated college. He instead joined the U.S. Marine Corps. During his two tours of duty in Vietnam, Smith learned a lot about aviation and logistics. He was a platoon leader and forward air controller, flying in the back seat of the OV-10, a plane designed to aid in counter-insurgencies. He rose to the rank of captain and was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.
It seems anytime Smith gets a chance, he credits his experience in the Marines for teaching him how to treat people. And lead them.
I know a lot about FedEx because I write about American entrepreneurs and how they drive the economic life of our nation. What Smith managed to do with an idea—and FedEx was an idea—changed the way Americans do life. And business. Needless to say, it was no duck walk turning an idea into a business as complicated and big as FedEx.
I also know a lot about FedEx because the company employs people I know. And not just any jobs: all sorts of good-paying blue- and white-collar jobs. FedEx employs 330,000 Americans nationwide and is the No. 1 employer in Memphis, with just over 33,000, most residing in the city and surrounding counties.
Moreover, life without FedEx in our neck of the woods would be unimaginable for the tens of thousands of business owners and workers in the region. Downstream jobs at car dealers, restaurants, retail stores, doctor and dentist offices, law offices, shipping companies, nail salons, hair salons and so many more would struggle to exist without the presence of FedEx and its employees. As would the local governments who depend on the company to drive the tax base that employs teachers, firemen and other government workers. And that's not to mention the remarkable charity work FedEx does.
Talk to nonprofits in the region, and you'll quickly discover that FedEx talks the civic responsibility talk—and walks the civic responsibility walk. In short. FedEx is a model corporate citizen.
I also know FedEx because I own shares in the company, and the company has been very good to my family, delivering great gains for decades. FedEx stock has been very good to millions of American families who own shares through their retirement savings.
The fact is, FedEx didn't pay taxes in 2018 for a bunch of good and moral business reasons, some of which the Times buried in its story, and others it didn't reveal at all. Which is why Smith took it upon himself to rebut the fake news with an op-ed of his own in The Wall Street Journal.
FedEx didn't pay taxes in 2018, Smith explained, because his company chose to invest in the future: They increased capital expenditures. "We placed a major order for 24 Boeing wide-body freighters, funded major facilities modernizations and expansions, put additional funds in our pension plan, and increased wages by more than $200 million," Smith wrote.
That would have made a heck of a Times business section headline: "Trump Tax Cuts Move FedEx to Buy 24 Boeing Planes." Or "Trump Tax Cuts Beef Up Pensions and Drive $200 Million Wage Increase for FedEx Workers."
Smith wasn't finished with his rebuttal.
"I know the FedEx aircraft orders created thousands of incremental new jobs for Boeing, General Electric (the engine supplier on freighters), and a multitude of smaller suppliers. In fact, each order of a 777F injects about $540 million into the U.S. economy, supports 1,850 jobs, and generates roughly $45 million in federal, state and local taxes."
That, too, is something that would have made a great story: the impact of FedEx's investment on Boeing—another big American company—and its suppliers. And the jobs, revenue and taxes generated by that investment.
That's why FedEx didn't pay taxes in 2018. Because business investments can be expensed, thus deferring tax obligations. Anyone who's ever run a fruit stand knows that if you don't have profits left because you invested them in equipment or people, you don't have anything left to tax. That's not a scandal. It's not even a story. It's how business works—and runs.
Smith went on to add that FedEx paid $10 billion to the IRS in the five years prior to 2018. $10 billion! And he explained that after the temporary effect of the capital expensing, he expects FedEx "will pay billions more into the U.S. Treasury from the earnings produced by our investments."
There wasn't a Times headline for those facts. Or the billions the company generates through its payroll, vendor relationships, gasoline taxes, and countless other federal, state and local tax streams. We all know why.
The fact is, I—and millions of Americans—know FedEx well. We know people who work for the company, trust them with our most urgent deliveries and have an ownership stake in the enterprise too.
We're getting to know The New York Times a whole lot better too. What, we all wondered, was it up to when it ran this fake news story? And in the business section of the paper, no less?
The editors of the paper might not know the answer to those questions. But millions of fans of FedEx do. And tens of millions of us rooting for our great American companies to succeed—workers and shareholders alike—know too.

National Beverage Company and Arab Agronomists Association Sign a Financing Agreement for the Treated Industrial Water Reuse Project
Ramallah – Al Hayat Economic - The National Beverage Company Coca-Cola/Cappy (NBC) signed an agreement with the Arab Agronomists Association for the reuse of treated industrial water generated from Al-Tayf Dairy and Food Products Plant and Cappy Plant for the benefit of Agricultural lands in Al Shami valley, Al Kafriyat, Tulkarm Governorate.
Under this agreement, NBC, and the Global Environment Facility (GEF)/Small Grants Program (SGP)/United Nations Development Program (UNDP) shall provide the necessary financial support to complete the project prepared by the Arab Agronomists Association, and it has been approved by the Global Environment Facility Program/Small Grants Program/United Nations Development Program in coordination with the Environment Quality Authority and in cooperation with the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Local Government and Al Kafriyat Municipality.
The signing event at the company's headquarters in Ramallah was attended by Mr. Imad al-Hindi, the General Manager of the National Beverage Company Coca-Cola/Cappy and Al-Tayf Dairy and Food Products; Zakaria Asad, Cappy Plant's Manager; Bassam Irshid, Candia Plant's Manager; Nael Al Taweel, the Projects Manager; Issa Hanna Al Shatla, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arab Agronomists Association; Omaima Shaltaf, Projects Manager in the Association; and Nadia Al Khudari, the National Coordinator of the Global Environment Facility/Small Grants Program (GEF/SGP/UNDP).
In this regard, Mr. Imad al-Hindi, General Manager of NBC said that: "we are very happy with this fruitful cooperation, which is in line with the Company's vision towards a healthy environment, free of contaminants, and which would enhance cooperative relations between the two sides to support and serve the Palestinian environment." He confirmed that "the Treated Industrial Water Reuse Project will be an added-value and a solution for many problems and will work on providing water suitable for agriculture to the farmers of Al Kafriyat".
"The Company supports this project due to the fact that it is convinced of the role it will achieve the objectives of supporting the Palestinian farmers, and in confirmation of the company's adopted strategy to sustain environmentally friendly projects." He added
He went on to say: "commitment to environmental standards and sustainable development is one of the significant and priority issues for NBC's endeavor, as the Company has translated this through its commitment international standards in rationalizing water, energy consumption and environment protection, in addition to supporting community environment projects and enhancing an environment protection culture through working in effective partnership with local institutions and authorities in various governorates, as well as working on the treatment of industrial water produced by the Company's factories."
Hence, Mr. al-Hindi confirmed that: "NBC has worked over the past years to treat industrial water produced by Cappy and Al-Tayf factories using the latest technologies within international and local standards to be suitable for agricultural use in order to use it to irrigate crops due to its role in the process of reducing water consumption in addition to preserving the environment."
On his part, Issa Hanna Al Shatla, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Arab Agronomists Association, said: "We are proud of this cooperation with NBC, the pioneer in serving the community in all its sectors," indicating that this project is the best service provided to the residents and farmers of the area, as it enables us to find alternative sources of water suitable for agriculture. Thus, this project will reduce the pressure on other water sources and relieving farmers as well, especially since this area is very encouraging for the cultivation of fruit trees. Moreover, most of the area's lands are not supplied with agricultural water, in addition to preserving the health and safety of the area's residents from harmful factory water.
On her part, Nadia Al Khudari, the National Coordinator of the Small Grants Program, stated: "supporting the project is among the priorities of the program aiming to emphasize the interest in projects that have a positive impact on the environment." Furthermore, she indicated the importance to support civil society institutions for projects that would preserve the environment and develop agricultural areas and small projects in Palestine. She confirmed: "this project will contribute to empowering farmers for exercising their work on their lands, ensuring that cultivated land will not be polluted, and achieving sustainable productivity."
The project aims to establish a tank with a capacity of 250 cubic meters at the first stage, another tank with the same capacity will be added in the second stage, and a network of transport lines for agricultural lands. Thus, the agricultural lands with an estimated area of 100 dunums will be supplied with treated water in the village of Kafr Jamal, south of Tulkarm.
Furthermore, the project will have the capacity to accommodate any additional water produced by the plants, and fulfills the required specifications, as the need for water in the area is greater than what is available. In addition, the project will also help farmers wishing to exploit the water and solve the problem of its drainage in the valley as well as all related problems such as the spread of diseases, rodents and pigs and the flooding of some lands. Thus, the treated water, conforming to Palestinian specifications and tested twice a month, will irrigate tens of dunums planted with olives, irrigated trees and bushes.
Accordingly, about 11 male and female farmers will get benefit from this project at its first phase, the number of beneficiaries will be increased to 25 male and female farmers in the second phase.
Furthermore, the National Beverage Company seeks to promote projects that operate according to the principle of environment preservation and the utilization of available resources. It is worth mentioning that the company has recently won the gold award for its project in the Quality, Food, Occupational Safety and Environmental Safety Competition organized by Coca-Cola Middle East and Eurasia.

SHORTLY after 7:30 a.m. on Monday (January 21), Richmond RCMP responded to a residence in the 5000-block of Walton Road for a report of a violent robbery of a vehicle.
A woman in her mid-40s was preparing to start the engine of a dark coloured 2007 Toyota SUV when she was approached by a suspect clad in dark clothing. The suspect allegedly produced a weapon and used it to smash a window. The suspect then fled in the vehicle leaving the woman behind.
The woman sustained non-life threatening injuries and was visibly shaken from the incident. She was transported to hospital.
Even after extensive patrols, Richmond RCMP were unable to locate the vehicle. Neighbouring police agencies were notified to be on the lookout for the vehicle and officers warned to exercise caution as the suspect may be armed and dangerous.
The vehicle was located before 9 a.m. in Vancouver near Boundary Road and East Hastings Street by the Vancouver Police Department. Two individuals were arrested in connection with that vehicle – a 28-year-old male from Delta and a 21-year-female from Pitt Meadows. Both have been turned over to Richmond RCMP. The Richmond RCMP General Investigative Section has taken conduct of the investigation.
Anyone with information on this incident, is asked to contact Constable K. Chan of the Richmond RCMP General Investigation Section and quote file# 2019-2465.

Why Andrew McCutchen is Neuroscience's Next Frontier
Scientists are fawning over Major League Baseball players for their brains, not brawn.
Photo by Dave Arrigo, courtesy of the Pittsburgh Pirates
The next time someone tells you that sports are "dumb," have that close-minded person consider this: It takes about 400 milliseconds for a major-league pitcher's fastball to cross home plate. It takes the average human being 150 milliseconds to blink when a light is shone in their face. A batter needs to identify the rotation of the ball, the speed of the pitch and where to swing in about 200 milliseconds — before the ball is even halfway to the plate.
The fact that Pirates superstar Andrew McCutchen can hit a walk-off home run like this one isn't dumb jock stuff. It's a neuroscientific miracle.
This is why Carnegie Mellon University psychology professor Timothy Verstynen has decided that baseball is the perfect "real world" laboratory to study the way that our brains translate our planned-out thought processes into unconscious physical action. Verstynen, who recently received a Faculty Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation, will use the $500,000 in funding to study the nuanced relationship between cognitive and procedural aspects of complex actions. In other words, he wants to know how "muscle memory" happens.
That's where America's pastime comes in.
For Verstynen, baseball is the ultimate example of how humans translate high-level strategic thinking into unconscious, instantaneous action. Think of how many logical inputs are needed for McCutchen to hit a pitch before it even leaves the pitcher's hand: What does the pitcher like to throw in this situation? How many men are on base? Is he too fatigued to throw his heater? Does the pitcher have a certain "tell" when he prepares to throw a slow curve? There's a lot of context that goes into "How we make decisions on whether or not to engage in action," Verstynen says.
In other words, understanding what's going on upstairs when Andrew McCutchen lays off a breaking pitch or turns on a fastball can tell us a lot about how our thoughts get translated into these split second actions and how these split second decisions can be optimized and conducted more quickly and efficiently. According to Verstynen, this is part of a paradigm shift in psychological studies, where rather than looking at an average specimen, psychologists and neuroscientists are looking to individuals who have optimized these mental processes.
"Psychology and cognitive neuroscience know the most about the male rat and the 22-year-old college student," Verstynen says, but now "[t]here [are] labs in Australia and England that are looking at cricket players and rugby players and hockey players."
We're not sure why scientists would want to study hockey players. As we're well aware, the Penguins make the decision to rifle a slap shot whenever the fans scream, "Shhhhooooooooooooot."

When I had to replace my Cassiopeia E-125, I knew what kind of device I wanted to get...well, make anyway. I knew that the new operating system would be Windows Mobile 2003 (or 2003 SE). Unfortunately, PocketBlinds 1.x (what I had been using) was incompatible with OS 2003. Fortunately, WisBar Advance was. I downloaded it, installed it, and quickly got to work on porting my most used PocketBlinds skins to it. This is the first skin to undergo the "transformation."
In truth, this one skin is actually three in one download. WisBar supports multiple configuration files in one folder. So, in the Pocket Lunas folder you will find all of the normal Windows XP Luna colors: Blue, Olive, and Silver. To see the other colors in action, simply hover your mouse over the links below.
The icons in this skin are "stock" icons from Windows XP. The other images are based off of Windows images. I cannot copyright this skin.

Ben Lubeck, the lead singer of the Minneapolis-based indie folk rock band Farewell Milwaukee, grew up in a log cabin on the border of Mequon and Cedarburg. During our interview, he noted that he had a good childhood and had fond memories of Milwaukee. So why does his band's name seem so eager to say goodbye?
OnMilwaukee.com chatted with Lubeck to find out why the band is bidding adieu to Brew City (is it the yeast smell? Because the Red Star Yeast plant is closed …) and to find out more about their new album, "Can't Please You, Can't Please Me."
OMC: How was your time in Milwaukee, and when did you move out?
BL: It was pretty good. I moved when I was 18 up to Minneapolis. I started to get into music around when I was in high school. I learned the guitar when I was a junior in high school. I went to Homestead High School. So I was a little bit of a late bloomer in terms of learning how to play guitar. I tried to learn a lot but would always get frustrated and give up.
Then one time out at my parents' house, I heard a Neil Young song entitled "Tell Me Why," and I decided then that I needed to learn the guitar once and for all.
OMC: Now how did you guys form this band, Farewell Milwaukee? Did you guys meet in Minneapolis, or did you meet here and move there?
BL: We all met up in the Twin Cities area. Four of the current members now formed the band probably five or six years ago. We met a couple of the other guys along the way.
Joey Ryan plays in another Twin Cities band. He plays bass for us now, but he's the frontman in a band called Joey Ryan and the Inks. And then Danger Dave plays in another band in the Twin Cities called Romantica. We brought Dave in to play electric guitar and pedal steel guitar. He's actually been learning pedal steel, playing it live with us and becoming quite great.
But yeah, we're all from the Midwest. Most of the guys are from the Twin Cities. Dave's from Ames, Iowa. We all have Midwestern connections.
OMC: So if a lot of you guys are from Minneapolis, why the name Farewell Milwaukee?
BL: The name came about because we all wanted a Midwestern nod to our roots. Farewell Milwaukee didn't really come about because I'm from there or anything like that, which is kind of confusing for most people. It's very understandable; we kind set ourselves up that way.
But we wanted a name that encompassed where we were from and that would highlight that region. I think originally it was going to be Milwaukee, Minnesota. We thought that was kind of a cool name. But it turned out that was a movie that we had all seen that we had forgotten about with Randy Quaid in it. It was about a mentally handicapped ice fisherman, and Randy Quaid was a devious character who tried to steal this kid's ice fishing winnings that he won in a contest.
So we had that, and we had Milwaukee on the brain when we were naming the band. I think our drummer Brad suggested Farewell Milwaukee. We all liked the way that it sounded. And the rest is kind of history.
OMC: You guys have a new album, "Can't Please You, Can't Please Me," coming out today. What was your inspiration for this third album?
BL: I think a lot of the inspirations for this new record came from learning to play live together as a six-piece. A few new guys were added into the band full-time. We had kind of just been exploring how to do that and wanted to translate that onto a record, that live sound of all six guys as one whole band. And I think hopefully we've done that successfully. I'm really excited for this new record to come out.
OMC: In the press notes, it says that it's you're most confident. Would you say that that's accurate?
BL: I think so. I think we're confident in a way that things came together in the studio so well. After a take, we'd all kind of look at each other, and it was just kind of hard to put your finger on it. It just felt so natural, the way the songs came together, which was not the case in pre-production and the demo stages. There was actually quite a struggle getting ready to play the songs in the studio. But once we got to the studio, it felt right. So in that sense, we just felt great about it. I think this is Farewell Milwaukee now. I think we kind of found ourselves.
OMC: Why was it such a struggle in the demo stage?
BL: The pre-production stage is, I think, the hardest part. We were just talking about that the other night. I think that that is far harder than actually going into the studio to record because you're trying to figure out exactly what you're going to play, and you have to experiment with so many types of arrangements and make hard decisions and tell people things that they don't want to hear. And you have to be ready to take criticism that's hard to hear yourself.
So it's a very … it's an environment that is creative, and you're working your hardest to come up with beautiful arrangements and melodies and things like that. But it's a very hard process, at least I'll speak for myself. I think the other guys would agree too. Once you get down to the studio, you get to put all those pieces together and actually play them. I don't know if that makes sense, but that's kind of how this record went together.
OMC: You say that you wrote a lot of your personal life into this album, more so than before. Can you describe how you did that and what inspired that more personal input into the music?
BL: This record has a lot of songs that deal with my take on observations generationally. My wife and I just had a little girl seven months ago, so a lot of the songs were written with that on my mind, me being a future dad at the time and reflecting on my upbringing and my mother's upbringing and my dad's upbringing. A lot of those generational struggles and the heartache that encompasses relationships with family. Some of the songs were looking at those different aspects and being really honest about those things.
OMC: You noted that you all play together in the recording. You don't do different tracks and build off. Is it easier that way for you? Or more difficult as well?
BL: It's a much more natural process. I think you over-think things a lot less. You actually are playing off of each other, and things come together in the studio in a way that they wouldn't if you were recording track by track. You really learn how to trust each other in the band. You learn how to take chances together as well.
One of the downfalls of recording the other way would be that you might over-think things and want to add too much or spend too much time on a certain part. Those can all be positive too, but this is the way that we've found that we really like to play. We don't want to put anything on our record that we couldn't recreate live. We're excited to play it in front of other people now.
OMC: Does this mean you might be coming back to Milwaukee sometime soon?
BL: Absolutely. We'd love to get down to Chicago and play Milwaukee. We've had some great times playing both cities. We're going to take a little bit of a break immediately after the release and then we're going to hit the road stronger in the later fall.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.

My amazing birthday adventure to explore some of Mexico's beautiful cenotes, beaches, and archeological sites on the Yucatan Peninsula! Of course, I can't leave out food and other forms of fun in the sun, not to mention cavorting with dolphins!!
In part 2 vid (above) you see Cenote Dos Ojos. In part 3 (below) we visit a magical oasis in the middle of the Yucatan jungle!
The day after my birthday we went to the Tulum Archeological Zone. It was an excruciatingly hot and muggy day and the sun beat down on us mercilessly most of the time. I was so happy when grey clouds formed and a light rain cooled us off even if it was only for a few mins. The ruins themselves were really something to see and I enjoyed learning about the Mayan civilization and the Mayans, who by the way, still exist.
On our last full day in Quintana Roo we wanted to check out the cenotes right across the street from our hotel including Cenote Azul. It was recommended that we take a cab and we did and I'm glad to say that we thought to ask the driver which cenotes he recommended. He did not recommend Azul or the park across the street. He said they were small and overcrowded (which makes sense because they are popular with tourists). He instead recommended Ecopark Kantun Chi which was just as close because of the one-way highway in front of the hotel. It was a magical place! My only regret is that we had not found it sooner because I would have loved to have gone there every day! Check out my vids below of this lush oasis containing five cenotes!
Escaping DC in January to head to a tropical climate is never a bad idea! I'd never been to St. Lucia so when a friend suggested we go I jumped at the chance to experience a new place. St. Lucia, an island nation in the Eastern Caribbean covers an area of 238 sq miles. It's also a part of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles. Its history is fascinating and its geography breathtaking. But, I'm guessing you aren't reading my travelogue for a geography lesson. This trip, while a chance to take a much-needed respite from work was all about, what else? Adventure! Please check out my vids below and share your comments. And if you like travel, adventure, and nature please subscribe to my youtube channel where you will find more! If you would like to attend a Vision Quest Retreat join our mailing list!
Join me on part 1 of my St. Lucia Adventure: SCUBA diving with Eastern Caribbean Diving Ltd., horseback riding at Holiday Riding Stables, and the first part of our journey on the Spirit of Carnival southward along St. Lucia's western coast to the Pitons, then back to Soufriere, Anse Cochon Bay and Marigot Bay.
In part 2 we continue to take in Soufriere's sulfur spring/mud bath, wash off under Toraille waterfall, go snorkeling off Anse Cochon Beach and burn off our tasty lunch by learning some local dances aboard ship! Oh, and I take the helm of the Spirit of Carnival.
Enjoy Life,
Saying 2020 has been a rough year would no doubt win the "Understatement of the Year Award" so I won't bother making a case for the need for a sabbatical. I will say that the past few months starting on May 25th (my birthday) and the day George Floyd was murdered have been particularly intense. Not only have I been dealing with my own anger and pain over the continued racial injustice in the US, but my work has been nonstop. Organizations in need of help with diversity, equity and inclusion and individuals in need of help staying sane have been calling on me. I've been honored and grateful to be able to be of use during this time but in order to be my most effective self, I also have to practice what I preach. Everything I do from individual therapy/coaching to organizational consulting is built on the belief that well-being is paramount and self-care imperative.
So, when I started to recognize my need for a mini-sabbatical to rest and recharge but also to work on Book III of The Adventures of Isabelle I chose to honor that and I'm so glad I have! While I love to write travelogues it would be too much to try and rest and write and keep up with a written account of my adventures so I have done the next thing I love to do which is take pics and vids and make travel videos. They are included in this post with a smattering of writing here and there. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed experiencing the moments and creating the videos! Oh, and if you need help planning or executing your own mini-sabbatical give me a shout at Vision Quest Retreats with Dr. Nicole Cutts.
After eight lovely head-clearing days on Cape Cod (a place I'd never been before), I headed to Martha's Vineyard for Part II or my mini-sabbatical & writing retreat. I looked forward to the beautiful landscapes, spending quality time on the beach and really getting down to writing. The 1-hour drive to the Woods Hole Steamship Authority port was easy and uneventful. I looked forward to the ferry ride to Vineyard Haven. I love boats of any kind and this particular one always feels as if I'm crossing the threshold. The ferry ride feels romantic and dreamlike and puts me in the proper mental place for writing.
September 22, 2020 the first day of Autumn and it's an overcast, chilly windy day but I still enjoy venturing out to nearby Lambert's Cove after a morning of writing. The next day's weather isn't much better but it's a perfect day to sit by the window and write. One of the neighborhood flocks of wild turkey amble across the yard at one point. I take a walk in the afternoon down the street to the little beach next to the yacht club: Owen Little Way beach, where I'm delighted by some colorful flora and a gorgeous sunset while I sit on the little pier (see vid below).
In these turbulent times, many people are feeling sad, angry, despondent and frankly traumatized. This is affecting our mental and physical health as well as our work, as we find it difficult to concentrate. These reactions are completely normal but leaving many people wondering what they can do to regain a sense of balance and peace.
The simple fact is that we feel threatened, upset and suffer when we have to face the harsh realities of life. We are tempted to run away, to hide, to suppress our feelings. We may also want to rage, to let these feelings out, to strike out (also very normal feelings). The adaptive fight or flight mechanism wired into us will not be ignored. When we are stressed and do not find an outlet we suffer further. But there is something you can do that requires you to neither bury your head in the sand or to lose your mind, that is adaptive for you and your community and world. It can bring you peace, and isn't that what we all ultimately want?
WHAT CAN I DO TO FIND PEACE? I favor simple elegant solutions always. The video below teaches you two simple cognitive exercises that can bring you to a state of balance and peace.
Serenity Prayer Exercise: You may want to address your prayer to a Higher Power e.g. Goddess, God, The Universe etc.
1) Write down or name what it is that you cannot change and therefore must accept (if you want peace) For example "Goddess grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change such as: the existence of the coronavirus, other people (by name), the death of a loved one, having a chronic or fatal illness."
2) Write down or say what it is you can change while asking for the courage to do so. For example "The courage to change the things that I can such as, my attitude and actions i.e. voting, helping another person, contributing money to a cause related to my disturbance, volunteering, take my medication, exercise, etc."
3) Finally continue to pray to know the difference between what I can and can't do and do the things that I can.
The 3 and 5 List Exercise
1) Do 3 good things everyday A. One for yourself i.e. self-care activity B.One aimed at changing the thing that is causing you stress or anxiety e.g. sign a petition C.One thing to support your Vision of Success or life mission/purpose e.g. going to work.
2) Write/think about 5 things for which you are grateful!
After you give these exercises a try please drop me a line and let me know how it went. If you have any comments or suggestions on what has worked to help you find peace in turbulent times feel free to leave those at the same link.

Know that your anger and grief can be used to good purpose. If they are left to fester and if suppressed will only lead to greater suffering.
Much Continued Peace and Well-Being,
I Don't know about you, but at week 4 or 5 (I've lost track) of quarantine, my stress levels are rising. Don't worry my self-care has also increased accordingly. Whether you live alone, in a couple, or a household with children (young and old,) this lockdown is affecting everyone's lives and mental health. The uncertainty of a deadly pandemic, lack of control, drastic changes to our daily work and home lives are prompting more people to reach out to me and other psychologists and coaches for help. (See vid above and Coping with Corona from WUSA Channel 9 for additional tips)
However, I understand these are trying financial times for many people and some may think this is not the time to invest in therapy or coaching sessions. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is why I'm offering my therapy and coaching services on a sliding scale starting at 10% OFF. (CLICK TO INQUIRE ABOUT FEES)
What are the Challenges?
1) Parents are on triple duty between working, parenting and teaching kids and this is a lot!
2) Couples without kids are also challenged by too much togetherness!
3) Single folks without kids are also challenged by boredom and lack of contact, feeling isolated perhaps lonely.
What is the Solution?
While one of the biggest stressors right now is that most things are out of our control, there are things you can do! This nine-item Quarantine Survival Kit can keep you from each other's throats and/or wanting to cut your own! Victor Frankl, the creator of Logotherapy said, "Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation." The below Quarantine Survival Kit will enable you to better choose your responses to this trying situation.
The Quarantine Survival Kit (contents):
Patience: Not knowing when this will all end is trying to many. Waiting is not something anyone enjoys but cultivating patience will lower your stress and anxiety. Breathe and try to let go when you feel your impatience rising, focus on something positive and engage is something productive. Remember no time is wasted when you are in the moment. This patience should extend to yourself and others as we try to do our best under difficult circumstances. Pro Tips: Lowering your expectations will boost your ability to wait and sit with the unknown. A regular meditation prayer and practice does wonders for patience.
Flexibility: So much has changed and continues to change (sometimes weekly) during this novel situation. Human beings are wired to experience stress when under threat and unfortunately when things are uncertain (a feeling produced by change) we often experience this as a threat. The best way to lessen your angst and other forms of suffering in the face of change is to remain flexible. Rather than tightening up or holding on to expectations, expect that change will come. It's often said that the only certainty in life is change. In his book, The Five Things We Cannot Change and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them, David Richo says, "Perhaps things end so that we can reach the high spiritual peak that comes with letting go." Lean into the changes having confidence that you can adjust. Pro Tip: Taking slow deep breaths increases flexibility. Rather than tightening around change, take a slow deep breath to activate your parasympathetic nervous system a.k.a. the rest and digest response. Breathe into tight areas and as you exhale give into the change.
Creativity: All change is accompanied by some loss. In this case, we have lost many of our habitual ways of doing almost everything from how we work and play to how we procure food and how we take exercise. We are being challenged to find new ways to get our needs met. These challenges call for creativity and we see it all around us. I have one client who set up a scavenger hunt in her house for her young adult children who had grown tired of playing video games! Creativity and flexibility are close cousins, so try staying open to receive new ideas and inspiration. Follow your instincts and expect to be inspired.
Gratitude: Gratitude is a magical elixir that changes everything! In fact, it actually changes our brain chemistry! "When we express gratitude and receive the same, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions, and they make us feel 'good'. They enhance our mood immediately, making us feel happy from the inside. By consciously practicing gratitude every day, we can help these neural pathways to strengthen themselves and ultimately create a permanent grateful and positive nature within ourselves." (May 12, 2020, PositivePsychology.com)
The current situation is undoubtedly a downer so we need to counteract sadness and possible depression with as much feeling good as we can! Pro Tip: I recommend (to all my clients) writing a daily list of three good things they did for themselves and five things for which they are grateful.
Humor: Don't be afraid to find humor in almost any situation. It can be a life-saver. Indeed, Mark Twain, one of our greatest humorists said, "Humor is mankind's greatest blessing." Try not to take anything (especially yourself) too seriously. Take time to have fun, to play, be silly and laugh. These are important elements of self-care. Like gratitude, smiling and laughing literally changes your brain chemistry, releasing endorphins and possibly relieving pain (Sept. 11, 2011, Scientific American). Pro Tip: If you want or need an extra shot of laughter watch or listen to comedy. I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy so that's my go-to medicine.
Optimism: Optimism is having a generally positive outlook on life. It is a key element in building individual psychological resilience (Aug. 24, 2018, Cutts). Staying positive and keeping fear and worry at bay helps people to maintain a hopeful outlook on life. This ability helps us reframe potentially negative events in a more positive or useful context. Pro Tip: If you are interested in re-wiring your brain to experience increased happiness check out the work of Dr. Rick Hanson author of Buddha's Brain.
Faith: I have come to relate to faith as the antidote to fear. As Nelson Mandela said, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." Whenever I am afraid I can see it is because I do not have faith in my Higher Power. Fear signals me to strengthen my spiritual connection to this Higher Power. As a human I have many limitations, wants and desires but when my faith is strong I know that everything is as it should be and I have no need for fear. When I say "faith" this also includes hope. Having hope is what keeps us from despair. We can not despair because then all is lost. At the extreme end of the loss of hope lies psychogenic death which can lead to physical death in a very short time (Sept. 29, 2018). It's a choice to cultivate faith (whatever that means to you) but I believe it's an invaluable tool to keep in your tool kit.
Service: It's also a scientifically proven fact that being of service to others produces good feelings in those doing the service or helping (May 30, 2018, Psychology Today). Being generous and supporting others is called "pro-social" behavior and it makes us feel good in at least three crucial ways: 1) It gives us a feeling of "relatedness" to others which is a basic psychological need; 2) altruistic behavior boosts well being and lowers depression by providing meaning and purpose to our lives and activating positive neural changes! In fact, fMRI studies suggest a link between generosity and happiness in the brain. "For example, donating money to charitable organizations activates the same (mesolimbic) regions of the brain that respond to monetary rewards or sex (May 30, 2018);" 3) A study (2017) suggests, "helping others regulate their emotions helps us regulate our own emotions, decreases symptoms of depression and ultimately, improves our emotional well-being." Therefore, if you are feeling down or bored during this time of quarantine think of others, what you can do for them then DO IT!
Self-care: While I've always been a strong proponent of self-care and its inextricable relationship to self-love, self-care is perhaps even more important now than ever and by self-care, I'm referring to your health and well-being as it relates to your mind, body and spirit. Studies show that there are many comorbidities or underlying conditions that lead to increased severity of symptoms and higher death rates in those exposed to COVID-19 (CDC Website). So, now it's doubly important to eradicate and manage underlying health conditions. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes and even kidney and liver disease sometimes have a relationship with behavior such as diet and exercise. Even if you don't have any underlying health conditions being stressed, tired and rundown are all conditions that lower our body's resistance or ability to fight off diseases. This is why during this time it is important that you maintain a healthy regimen of diet, exercise, and rest. Don't neglect your mental/spiritual health either. Be mindful and do whatever that means to take care of your mental and physical health e.g. do not neglect your regular health appointments. Many doctors and therapists (myself included) do offer telemedicine and teletherapy.

Praying that this article finds you and your families well,
Let me get right to the point. I know it's hard not to succumb to fear during these times. The growing effects of COVID-19 are affecting everyone's lives. But, there are some things we can control. This letter isn't about physical safety precautions, although there are links below for that. I'm writing to share tips I recently shared on CBS affiliate WUSA-9 (pictured above), AND 5 mental health coping tips that I hope you find helpful. My sanity, perhaps like yours, is being challenged but here is what I have found that works!
5 Sanity Saving/Coping Tips:
1) The Serenity Prayer: 'God/Goddess, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.' Think of what you can't change i.e. the existence of this virus and what you do have control over i.e. your attitude and actions. In other words, take the actions you can then let the rest go!
2) Be informed: There is no dearth of valuable info out here on what we need to do for our protection and if we become sick. These links are a good place to start: CDC Protection Recommendations and What to do if you become Sick
3) Practice Self-Care: Exercise, get rest, eat properly, drink lots of water and stick to spiritual practices that don't put you at risk. My practices of choice are long walks in the woods, yoga, prayer & meditation. Pro tip: If you are in need of exercise or meditation instruction, YouTube has tons of stuff!
4) Keep things in perspective: Stay in the present. Don't project into the future. It's ok to consider the future to plan sensibly but do not catastrophize or stress about things that are NOT happening right now. I recommend literally "be where your feet are" to help you stay in the moment. Yep, look down, find your feet, that's where you are!
5) Get and Keep Your Joy Quotient Up: Think positively and do fun stuff! I am a huge fan of stand-up comedy so I watch and listen to that to keep me laughing. I also love to dance (can be done at home). If you are on lockdown with others play some games, be creative. Do some things you enjoy but haven't had time to do like cook, watch movies, prep space for a garden (you get the picture). Pro tip: A big joy boost can be had from Practicing Gratitude by counting your blessings.
I hope you found something helpful in the above! If you did, feel free to share and if you have some good tips please share them with me. I will be sharing more well-being and success tips on my Vision Quest Retreats Facebook page so check us out there!
According to psychotherapist, David Richo, PhD. one way to improve your relationship with your significant other is to set an intention to consistently give each other "The Five A's of Love: Attention, Acceptance, Appreciation, Affection, and Allowing." But what about the relationship with yourself? Whether in a couple or not, we still need to give ourselves these things.
These five aspects of love represent qualities that are essential for a child to receive from a parent or caregiver in order to feel secure and to develop a healthy sense of self. An absence of these five qualities of love and nurturing could be considered a form of childhood emotional neglect and relationship trauma. If we don't receive a consistent, sufficient amount of the five A's as children, we can experience anxiety, depression and shame, or go through life feeling not good enough.
Guess what? Very few people received the 5 A's consistently or in sufficient amounts! I've never had a coaching or therapy client who did not need to engage in some level of self re-parenting. People always like to say, "parenting is hard." I want to say, "Have you tried re-parenting?!"
We never outgrow the need to receive attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection, and allowing. Giving and receiving the Five A's of love in your romantic relationships is groovy! This can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and help fill the void created by childhood relationship trauma. But, receiving this from someone else can never heal you or fill a void if you don't truly love yourself.
Here's the good news; You don't have to sit around waiting to receive the 5 A's from someone else! You can and should start giving them to yourself today! Because it is the child who needed and needs these things, it may be more impactful to think of your 'self' as your inner child and your 'Self' as the adult or parent. If you are already doing this then congratulations! If your relationship with yourself could use a little help, read on. Start with setting an intention to give these dimensions of love to yourself/inner child and see how you feel.
1. Attention
Notice, listen, focus and really engage with your inner child and other aspects of yourself (more on this later). Notice and hear words, feelings, experiences. Think about how your words (self-talk) and actions affect your inner child. When we give the inner child this type of attention, she feels respected, understood and that she really matters to you.
2. Acceptance
Demonstrate in your words and actions that you approve of who the inner child is as a person; her unique personality traits, her values, her choices, her lifestyle. Acceptance means appreciating differences without judgment. (Acceptance creates deeper intimacy because it demonstrates that each person can be themselves and share their thoughts, feelings and wishes without fear of rejection, ridicule or abandonment. Acceptance leads to self-confidence and a sense of security in the world.)
3. Appreciation
Express gratitude daily for who you are. Say thank you for the individual qualities that you cherish and admire. (If you have not already done so, create a list of at least 10 assets you possess.)
For example: positive attitude, a calm demeanor, taking an interest in friends and family, your talents. Notice and make a list daily of three good things you do for yourself i.e. making a healthy breakfast, getting exercise, getting a massage, spending time with supportive friends and family, tending to your spirit and any manner of self-care.
4. Affection
Affection refers not just to physical closeness but also feeling close to someone through conversation, gestures, and presence. This means really listen to and engage with your inner child. Maybe she wants to play, maybe she needs a nap, maybe she needs a treat. Any form of healthy self-care should be viewed as expressions of love for self. Affection can also be expressed via kind words, i.e. positive self-talk, affirmations. Stop being so hard on yourself! Listen to your self-talk. If it's negative imagine saying that to an infant! Would you do that? I hope not, because that's abuse. Think of how you have and should speak to babies, then do that!
On Sunday (which is my day of rest), I like to take a hot bath in candlelight then really take some time moisturizing. I even give myself a foot massage. Does this sound weird? Well, I love it and so does Little Nicky.
5. Allowing
Allowing means letting someone be themselves. It means giving them the freedom to do things in their own way. It means we don't try to control or manipulate the person to make them into someone they are not naturally meant to be (sound familiar). How can you be allowing to yourself and your inner child? 1) Stop judging yourself, 2) stop comparing yourself to others, 3) stop pretending to be someone you think the world wants you to be, 4) start paying attention to your feelings and wants 5) honor those feelings, 6) be authentic!
If you struggle with giving or receiving the Five A's, to your inner child/self your past parenting is most likely interfering. Many people did not receive "good enough" parenting. We tend to continue the job our parents started by parenting ourselves the way they parented us. Some of it was good, keep doing that. Some of it was not good, stop doing that and start employing the Five A's today!
Stop waiting to receive this type of love from others. You can't change the past, but you can determine what you will do today and be the beautifully powerful woman you were born to be. It takes work, but it's so worth it!
*Parts of above adapted from Kalpana Murthy (2012) in an article geared toward coupling. This author has adapted Richo's 5 A's as important aspects of self-love.

We often present at ELT conferences and events. Just select the title below if you're looking for the handout or download from a talk or workshop you have attended.
Download the materials for the IP Athens workshop at the bottom of the page. Find lots more materials here. Find a video of Mark teaching with these materials here.
Download slides and other materials at the bottom of this page! Pronunciation crosses two domains: it is part language - like grammar or vocabulary, and part skill - like speaking or listening. This unique position makes pronunciation teaching interestingly varied – and potentially very enjoyable too.
In this session we'll be trying out several listening activities. They all serve to help raise our awareness to the listening processes we employ and, simultaneously, demonstrate ways we can make the fruits of listening activities available for classroom inspection and reflection.
FREE WEBINAR!: Watch a recording here! Pronunciation is multi-faceted on account of its unique position on the boundary of language and skill, and the fact that it is both productive and receptive.
In this talk, we'll see how the evidence of the ears can be influenced and thus is not as stable as we suppose. Having said that, an expert listener successfully employs a range of processes in order to understand what's being said, but, obviously, it's not so easy for the non-expert listener.
At the beginning of the workshop, participants will do a paused transcription activity to bring the listening processes employed by expert listeners to a level of consciousness. Expert listeners usually understand what they hear with a seemingly high degree of automaticity and lack of effort.
Findings of research into the processing of spoken language point to the constructive nature of listening. In this talk, we'll look at how L1 listening comprehension is influenced by various elements and compare this to the L2 listening endeavour. We'll also exchange ideas on how we could possibly exploit this information when teaching listening to adults.
What does pronunciation teaching look like, once we assimilate the basic fact that English is a global lingua franca? In this presentation, we will explore that question. We will look at which aspects of pronunciation are essential for intelligibility and which aspects are more optional. We will look in more detail at how this distinction manifests itself on a phonemic chart.

Title loans depend on the reasonable market value for the automobile that functions as security. Many name loans are small-dollar loans made for short-term monetary dilemmas like catching through to bills, having to pay lease, or making vehicle repairs.

This legislation calls for loan providers become licensed beneath the Idaho Credit Code to help make name loans. Under brand new name loan rules in Idaho, if loan providers make title loans with out a permit, the mortgage deal therefore the lender forfeits the proper to collect in the loan.

In the readiness of the renewal that will require a principal decrease payment, in the event that borrower has neglected to make adequate past principal repayments plus the debtor can not spend at the very least 10% for the initial major balance plus outstanding finance costs, the name financial institution can (it is not necessary to) defer required major payments until in the future. In this situation, no brand new finance fees about this major quantity can accrue.
