The Most Car for the Least Money?
The new Sonata sedan inspires no flights of fancy, but on paper it's hard to beat
No one will ever write erotic poetry about the Hyundai Sonata. No courting suitor ever promises a woman, "Darling, I'll give you the moon, the stars, a Sonata with cloth seats..." Snooki from "Jersey Shore" will be named secretary of agriculture before a Sonata crosses the field at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance classic-car show. These things are appliances, disposable widgets, destined to wind up as brightly colored cubes of crushed and fused metal, the unlamented scat of our mobility society.
But for now, be amazed. Be amazed that any company can put together a car with this much raw, unmitigated content—a 2.4-liter direct-injection four cylinder with variable valve timing on both cams; six-speed automatic with manual shift mode; iPod/USB/AUX jacks and Bluetooth; stability control and smart ABS; airbags and power amenities galore—wrap the whole thing in a 10-year powertrain warranty and push it out the door for $20,195. That's ridiculous, ridonkulous. This is the sort of scorched-earth pricing that makes other car makers consider a change in strategic direction. Perhaps there are some openings at Hardees?
The 2011 Sonata—the sixth generation of the nameplate in the company's history—extends Hyundai's business plan in the U.S. market, which is summed up in the phrase "overwhelming numerical leverage," which I just made up. If you lay it out and compare the Sonata with its mass-market, suburbo-drone, I-wish-I'd-stayed-single competitors—Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Chevy Malibu—the case for the Sonata is summary. On paper, at least, it's just more car for the money.
Consider the intersection of these monster numbers from Sonata's spec sheet: 198 hp (200 hp in the dual-exhaust SE model) and 35 mpg highway. The four-cylinder Honda Accord LX serves up 177 hp while delivering a highway mileage a full 4 mpg less than the Sonata. The Honda is also $1,660 more dear.
I'm not saying the Sonata is a better car. Ah, hell no. I'm saying that if you set aside intangibles—things like brand modulus, styling, materiality, and the ineffable sense of quality you get when you touch and use engineered things—the Sonata is too persuasive to ignore. In a way, Hyundai's strategy is a brilliant adaptation to a car-buying environment increasingly driven by online data comparison. If you're an overscheduled public-school teacher and you need a new car, what are you going to do? You're going to fire up the computer, go to Edmunds.com or cars.com, plow through the numbers and conclude—not unreasonably—that the Sonata is the best deal out there. Then you're going to go to one dealership, the Hyundai dealership, take the Sonata around the block and think, Yeah, OK, nice.
Let me just run this by my sales manager.
Of course, all cars are in some sense political, since country of origin and economic policy are inextricable. And here the story turns a bit melancholy. The Sonata's awesome pricing occurs at the whip end of a long chain of factors, including the fact that it's built in a place with low wages, a low standard of living and an indifferent attitude toward workers' rights. Someone really should take up a collection for Montgomery, Ala.
Hyundai, the world's fourth-largest car company by units sold, is hotter than the hinges of Hades right now. It posted a fivefold increase in profit in Q1 of 2010, to a tidy $1 billion, on the recovering world market and favorable currency-exchange rates. For obvious reasons, a stronger Japanese yen helps the Korean car maker enormously in the U.S.
Hyundai's ambitions for the Sonata transcend the value equation, however. Like the larger and equally overachieving Hyundai Genesis sedan and coupe, the new Sonata is about elevating the image of the brand.
Enter styling.
This is a nice-looking car, and for all the blathering about remote keyless entry and the like, the styling—thoughtful, attractive, premium, by several degrees above the call of duty—is the feature that impresses me most. Wrought in what Hyundai calls "fluidic styling"—trademark alert!—the car does have a handsome, hydraulic wholeness to it, like water flowing over a river rock. The bold "light spear" along the side (the shallow draft under the accent line broadens as it goes back along the side of the car, creating a spear-like shadow) plays nicely against the back-drafting energy of the roof line. A little bit of Volkswagen CC in there, a little Mercedes-Benz CLS. The most sophisticated exterior touch is a thin chromic bow that runs from the headlamp to the C-pillar along the belt line, a brightwork meteor across the car's firmament. Lovely.
Base price: $20,195
Price as tested: $21,765
Powertrain: 2.4-liter, direct-injection inline four cylinder with variable valve timing; six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode; front-wheel drive
Horsepower/torque: 198 hp/187 pound-feet
Length/weight: 189.8 inches/3,250 pounds (est.)
Wheelbase: 110.0 inches
Cargo capacity: 16.4 cubic feet
EPA fuel economy: 22/35, city/highway
Business Is War
And Hyundai just nukes the competition with a svelte, sophisticated mid-size sedan featuring a high-tech engine, league-leading fuel economy and a crazy-low price. Hyundai's strategy: victory through superior (numerical) firepower.
Retaining Fluid
Hyundai's California design studio has penned an intriguing, even compelling body style, in an idiom it calls "fluidic styling." Note the chromic pinstripe arcing across the car, from headlamp to C-pillar. Not easy and not cheap. Other manufacturers would have left such a premium design flourish on the cutting-room floor.
Does Oz Have Something for the Tin Man?
The Sonata's features list is long and impressive, but the gestalt of the car remains a little hollow and in places the car feels too thinly spread. Yes, the Sonata is less expensive, but the Honda Accord feels more investment-grade.
Deconstructing the styling a bit: The Sonata strikes me as an aspirational placeholder kind of car, the sort of choice that will speak to people on their way up to benchmark luxury brands like Lexus, BMW, Mercedes. A luxury-car starter kit, if you will. Those sorts of buyers will equate style—the evident and obvious exertions of style rippling across the Sonata—with pride of ownership. It's worth noting that Hyundai will soon introduce the Lexus-like Equus sedan to the U.S. market—figure the early $60,000s to start—and, knowing that, I can't help seeing the Sonata as the bottom rung of a luxury ladder Hyundai is building, year by year.
Inside, the Sonata is roomy, comfortable and has some interesting choices of materials—the door panels are a kind of plasticized taffeta—but overall the car's interior is more conventional and less surprising than the exterior. The central console pours down from the upper dash between the front seats in a graceful cataract of switches and displays. However, the plastics are hard, the seats feel a little thin and door latches and switches feel and sound hollow. If I were the chief project engineer for the Sonata...well, first of all, I'd hire an engineer to replace me. But then I'd put more substance, more structure, behind these touch areas.
Nowhere does the program of radical economizing show more than in the engine sound. For all its high-tech direct-injection efficiency, this thing has a positively antique sound, with a valve click so pronounced it almost sounds like a diesel. I actually took a flashlight to my test car to see if perhaps the exhaust manifold gasket had sprung a pinhole leak, or else it had inadvertently sucked up a set of castanets. If this thing is in spec then, please, somebody send the company a box of hearing aids.
Two hundred horsepower absolves a lot, however, and the Sonata GLS gets down the road with dispatch, if not wild abandon. This is not a performance car by any means; still, the Sonata feels reasonably spry, with nicely controlled body roll, accurate steering with good feedback, and assured braking. The six-speed automatic, with the shifter in manual mode, helps the car shed its cast of servile domestication when the road opens up and the driving mood darkens.
The common midmarket midsize sedan executed uncommonly well, the Sonata is a one-car price war, a line in the sand, daring competitors to cross. Which they won't, will they? I am agog at its value. And if you have a four-letter yardstick with which you measure cars, C-A-S-H, you can stop your search here. Ditto if your yardstick says M-P-G. But I'm still not quite in love with Hyundai, still not inspired to write that love sonnet. I wait for the Equus, quill in hand.

Rated 3 out of 5 by KimKalani Great size...terrible bassinets I got this as a gift for my baby shower. My twins are 10lbs each right now and the twin bassinets are already sagging in the middle causing them to roll to the center. The max weight says 15lb but even at only 10 its bowing in the middle. Big disappointment. On a positive note, the size of the actual play yard is really nice for two! August 25, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mamaof9 Great for the most part This was given to me as a gift an I was so excited to receive it. I love almost everything about it. Colors are nice and neutral, goes together quickly and easily, easy to clean, BUT the bassinets are not removable to where both babies can nap together or even look at waxh other unless in the bottom of the pack and play. My twins love to be together and as they get bigger I would love for them to have added room without the bassinets being in the way. I will most likely have to get another pack and play without the twin bassinets. July 20, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by lidatko Perfect for twins - but larger than expected I bought this in anticipation for my twins and it works great with one exception - it's a lot larger than I thought it would be. The size makes it a hassle to move from room to room; it has wheels on one side for easy moving but it doesn't fit through the doorways! In order to move it to a different room i have to complete disassemble, relocate and reassemble, a feat that will be less daunting when I'm done using the bassinet piece. I've just decided to leave it in the bedroom until that time. Other than size it's a great piece to have. It's very sturdy, easy to clean and the custom sheets were easy enough to find online.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marty Rosemann Pack 'n Play Twin Basinett Difficult to insert board between basinetts but otherwise extremely easy to assemble. June 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrankTato Awesome! My wife and I are expecting twin boys in late December 2015 or very early January 2016. We got this as a gift at my wife's baby shower from her Aunt. We just put it together last night just to see how everything was. It was MUCH easier than we thought! Everything went together perfect. The materials used are super sturdy. The unit feels and looks very safe for our children when they finally arrive! The instructions were also very clear and easy to understand. The only issue we had was when we took the unit apart and attempted to fold it all together and put into the travel/storage bag. That was.....interesting :) :). We finally got it but it is a super tight fit. They didn't really put much thought into that area of the product. Its very awkward and takes a bit of strength to compress everything. We were also concerned about bending/breaking something while doing it. All in all the product is amazing, just like every other Graco product we own which is a ton right now. Graco is pretty darn expensive but I cannot put a price on my babies heads. You get what you pay for when buying Graco and that is some amazing quality products that are safe and reliable!

Rated 1 out of 5 by twinmomga It smells I bought this back in October while waiting for my twins to arrive. I took it out in December to start preparing and noticed a bad smell. I read reviews that pack n plays can smell so I left it out to air out the smell. It's been over a month and the smell is still there. I have it set up next to my bed now since our due date is fast approaching but the smell is still there. I'm not sure I can trust my kids sleeping in this with the awful smell. Aside from the smell, set up is easy. The bassinet portion is roomy and I can see my twins being able to use it for awhile till they grow out of it. I'll review the durability of it though once we use it, if we can get over the smell... January 31, 2016

AG calls Martin killing an 'unnecessary shooting'AP Photo
Keta Taylor, center, of Birmingham, Ala., joins other demonstrators during a rally and march in support of Trayvon Martin in Birmingham, Ala., on Monday.
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday the killing of Trayvon Martin was a "tragic, unnecessary shooting" and that the 17-year-old's death provides an opportunity for the nation to speak honestly about complicated and emotionally charged issues.
In his first comments since the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Martin case, the attorney general said that Martin's parents have suffered a pain that no parent should have to endure. He said the nation must not forgo an opportunity toward better understanding of one another.
On Sunday, the Justice Department said it is reviewing evidence in the case to determine whether criminal civil rights charges are warranted.
The Justice Department opened an investigation into Martin's death last year but stepped aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed.
Holder said, "We are ... mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., last year."
"I want to assure you that the Justice Department will continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law," said Holder.
"Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally charged issues that this case has raised," Holder said in remarks to the 51st national convention of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
"We must not — as we have too often in the past — let this opportunity pass," he said.
The Justice Department says the criminal section of the Justice Department's civil rights division, the FBI and federal prosecutors in Florida are continuing to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal investigation, plus evidence and testimony from the state trial.
The NAACP and others are calling on the Justice Department to open a civil rights case against Zimmerman. Thousands of demonstrators from across the country protested the jury's decision to clear Zimmerman in the shooting death of the unarmed black teenager.
Also on Monday, the White House says President Barack Obama won't involve himself in the Justice Department decision on whether to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman. White House spokesman Jay Carney said it would be inappropriate for Obama to express an opinion on how the department deals with Zimmerman.MORE IN Wire NewsHEMPSTEAD, N.Y.

Take This Man: Gay Romance Stories by Neil Plakcy (Ed)
A rarity — romantic erotica focused on male couples in committed relationships — Take This Man comes from one of the top-flight gay fiction writers, Neil Plakcy. Many erotic stories focus on the thrill of first contact, but Take This Man is thrillingly different, taking a close look at how much sexier an encounter can be when the two men involved have been together for long enough to make a commitment to each other.
Formalized or not, the fact remains that knowing what turns your partner on — and vice versa — makes encounters even hotter, especially when the erotic encounter is an expression of an emotional bond.

I have a 2.36 KDR and I don't care about my KDR. Highest KD on this game was like 3.01, without trying. It's dropped to 2.36 because I really REALLY don't try anymore, less than I did when it came out. I just "play". I have a 3+ on the other games, and If I were to "try" constantly it'd be much higher.
For someone who doesnt care about KD you sure do check it a lot.
Like has been said, K/D tells you very little. It's a stat. I like stats. I like knowing them. Stats rarely lie, but they don't tell the whole truth and people think they can gather more information from them then they really can.
I can't say I don't care at all about my K/D, but I can say I don't really think about it. I don't like dying, but I hate losing. It's impossible to put value on many of the things that people do to help the team win. Is dying while shooting down a killstreak helpful or detrimental? Sure, you give the enemy points towards another killstreak or points toward the objective, but you may have saved three deaths from your team mates by doing so. 1 death verses 3 deaths is easy math.
What about the guy escorting the flag carrier? What if he's a god awful gun fighter, but he follows behind and ends up taking the bullets for the flag carrier, allowing him to get away or kill the attacker? How do you put value on that? Is he more or less valuable then the guy on the other side of the map who is engaging the enemy? Hard to say because it depends on the situation. The other guy is tying up more of the enemy but the bullet shield directly protected him.
Long story short, it's a team game. I'll take a crap player who understands that over a great player who doesn't.

There's a difference between caring if you have a good score and being curious what yours is.

I have a 1.3 k/d so I guess not the best but it's not terrible. I just enjoy playing objectives too much to care about my k/d.

I have a 1.3 k/d so I guess not the best but it's not terrible. I just enjoy playing objectives too much to care about my k/d.
And see that's the thing that a lot of k/d elitists ignore and this conversation has been going on since k/d started being tracked.
It's a lot easier to get a good k/d if you ignore objectives. We've all played those games where your team is actually playing for the win and the other team is camping pathways away from the objective to pick of the sheep (like me) blindly running towards objectives. The game finishes, the other team has an 3 k/d average, but they lost the game by 200 points. Congratulations, your stats look great but you did jack to actually help your team.
Does everyone that has a high k/d do this? Of course not. My point is that k/d doesn't tell the whole story.
That being said, I DO need to be more aware on my way to objectives. That's one of my biggest weakness (that and chronic reloading). I die, spawn, and run stupidly back to the objective, often getting picked off before getting there because I'm too focused on one thing.
K/D don't tell everything, YES, but they do tell a lot. How often do you succeed in what you do? If you have a high k/d and low spm, you are a camper and unless you get killstreaks often, I don't want you in my team. If you have a high spm, low K/D, you are a rusher who dies a lot but also accomplishes objectives - but since you keep dying so much you are not that successful at it - still I'd rather have you over the camper who can't get killstreaks often.
Now if you have above average k/d and spm - then these are the players that are golden to have in any team.

I'll be honest I really dont. I'm so OCD I get caught up on unlocking things. So I'm about doing the challenges and unlocking all the gold camo. And if I did care about k/d I stopped when I was working on the gold crossbow and gold combat knife... lol

Expecting the Best
by Michael Malone |
People PICK
Fans of Malone's 1986 picaresque bestseller Handling Sin have something to celebrate with The Four Corners of the Sky. Inspired by The Wizard of Oz, this madcap adventure does Baum's epic proud: There's a fantastic journey, a priceless treasure and mysterious strangers. After a peripatetic childhood with her con-artist single dad, Jack, Annie Peregrine is abruptly left with her aunt in North Carolina on her 7th birthday. By way of consolation, Jack gives her King of the Sky—a single-engine plane—along with the promise that he'll be back. Flash to 19 years later, when Annie, a Navy pilot trying to sort out the end of her marriage, is summoned by her ne'er-do-well dad: He's dying and wants her to fly the King to meet him. After he promises Annie the truth about the mother she never knew, she flies off to see him as a tornado rages, seeking answers about her past. A former soap opera writer, Malone understands the art of great storytelling: There's humor and action aplenty, but Four Corners is also a warmhearted look at how we love and forgive. Five hundred and forty-four pages never seemed so short.
by Gillian Flynn |
Flynn follows her deliciously creepy Sharp Objects with another dark tale—this time about Libby Day, a girl who, at age 7, survives a violent rampage that leaves her mother and sisters dead. Teen brother Ben is convicted, mostly on the basis of Libby's coached testimony. Decades later, paid $500 to appear before an oddball club whose members are obsessed with true crime, Libby meets people who believe Ben is innocent, the real killer still at large. Libby is the ultimate anti-heroine, self-pitying and unscrupulous. Her investigation of a past she thought she'd buried introduces a cast of equally unsavory suspects: bitter neighbors; Libby's drunken father; Ben's sleazy girlfriend. But the story, alternating between the 1985 murders and the present, has a tense momentum that works beautifully. And when the truth emerges, it's so macabre not even twisted little Libby Day could see it coming.
by Lisa R. Cohen |
On May 25, 1979, 6-year-old Etan Patz vanished while walking to his school-bus stop in Manhattan. He was never found. In this gripping account of the case, Cohen reveals the 30-year battle waged by prosecutors and Etan's parents, Stan and Julie, to bring charges against suspect Jose Ramos, a convicted child molester. Though never criminally charged, Ramos—to whom Stan still sends photos of Etan inscribed "What did you do to my little boy?"—was found legally responsible in an '04 civil trial. A chilling fact: He could get parole in 2012.
by Christopher Buckley |
For 40-plus years, William F. Buckley and wife Pat were a prominent Manhattan couple—he, the acerbic founder of National Review; she, the society hostess. What was it like to be their son? "They were loving," writes Buckley in this amusing, unsparing memoir, "but on their own terms." (His dad's reaction to one of Chris's books: "This one didn't work for me. Sorry.") Chris's affection is clear, yet it's the parental transgressions that loom largest. As Pat lay dying, her only child whispered what would be his last words to her: "I forgive you."

Police seize pot plants from shedApril 29,2013BURLINGTON Burlington police say theyve seized 32 marijuana plants that were growing in a backyard shed after stumbling across a pot-growing operation while searching for a wayward moose.
Police said they were called Saturday morning to assist Vermont Fish and Game wardens who were searching for a moose that had been seen wandering through a residential neighborhood.
While helping in the search, police say they came across the pot plants in a shed behind a home. After getting a search warrant, police seized 32 plants in varying stages of growth and an undetermined amount of processed marijuana.
Police arrested 29-year-old Joshua Brunelle, who lived in the home.

Such Sweet Thunder was, like Black, Brown and Beige and the later Far East Suite and other works of the late-1950s and on, a long-form study broken into identifiable miniatures that could stand alone as tunes.

Maidana Possible For Canelo Bill, or Malignaggi in October
By Rick Reeno
BoxingScene.com spoke with WBA "regular" junior welterweight champion/welterweight contender Marcos Maidana (31-3, 28KOs), and his adviser Sebastian Contursi, to discuss the status of his career. Maidana was scheduled to face unbeaten Keith Thurman next Saturday night in an HBO televised co-feature, but he withdrew from the fight after making a decision to take another direction.
According to Maidana, he is currently in talks with Golden Boy Promotions to appear on the Saul Alvarez-Josesito Lopez quadrupleheader, which takes place on September 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Showtime will televise the card.
Another possible option is a fight with WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi on October 20th, when Golden Boy stages their first show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
"There is a good chance, we are having talks with Golden Boy, that maybe I might fight on September the 15th in Las Vegas, but there is also another chance [for me], facing Malignaggi. But September 15th is one possibility," Maidana told BoxingScene.com.
One fight Maidana would not rule out, but it hasn't been discussed with him personally, is a high-stakes clash with his Argentine countryman Lucas Matthysse.
"I think that it's a great fight, of course, and in Argentina it would be a huge fight. [Golden Boy] keeps talking about it, [but] it was never offered. We were never reached about it," Maidana said.
[QUOTE=flint;12332551]maidana vs mathysis at 140. make that happen[/QUOTE]That fight will be given FOTY as soon as it's signed haha. Makes too much sense not to make it. Put it in a soccer stadium in Argentina and with a co-main event…Comment by brains4boxing on 07-14-2012

The larger-than-life Mob Wives star – known as the cast's vivacious peacemaker – died after battling stage 4 lung and brain cancer, her rep announced in a statement. She was 55.

"She always wanted to just have fun, and that's it," she adds. "That's how anyone can remember Ang."
Her beloved family remained by her bedside through the night, and Murphy, 43, kept vigil, too.
"He's part of her life," Facciolo says. "He's still her husband, you know? I don't know if they got back together, but to Ang, when she throws somebody off her for a little bit, they're always back in. She takes in people."
The six-year marriage had its ups and downs: They appeared on Couple's Therapy and Celebrity Wife Swap together, and during Tuesday's episode of Dr. Oz Show, Raiola said she cut him loose because he "never stepped up to the plate" during her health crisis.
But Murphy, a sanitation worker, "was there the whole time" during her final hours, Facciolo says.
"I will always love you forever please watch over the grandkids I know you will," he tweeted shortly after her death.

Raiola was rushed to the hospital Monday only days after being discharged, Facciolo says, explaining she was "excited" about starting immunotherapy after her chemotherapy failed to shrink her tumors.
Facciolo and the other Mob Wives visited Raiola in the hospital just last week, when she seemed happy and hopeful.

"She had us laughing, she was telling off the doctors, just being regular Ang. Someone would come in and she'd be like, 'What do you want?' " she continues, laughing. "She was just being funny, and she was being the Ang that we know, so I was like, 'Oh, this feels great,' and then we turn around, she went home and then went right back in, and it was like, what the hell happened?"
Now, Raiola's sister Janine Detore, daughter Raquel and son Anthony Donofrio are left to pick up the pieces.

Most tragically, Raiola leaves behind six grandchildren, some of whom lived with her and others who slept over at her Staten Island home often.
Raquel had just welcomed a newborn daughter, Anjolie Scotto, three weeks ago, and Grandma proudly shared a photo of herself beaming while clutching the infant on Instagram.
Guess who became a grandma again! This little bundle of joy is what makes it all worth while. This is just what I needed this week. I'd like you to say hi my baby to Anjolie Scotto! She was born last night and is a healthy 6lbs, 7oz with gorgeous black hair! I love her so much. Yes, I'm going to spoil her as well haha.
"She had so many grandkids down the road, and every year there's a new kid coming. So it's sad that she missed all of that," Facciolo says. "Only one, Raquel's oldest son, little Salvatore, he's the one who is really going to remember her because the other babies are just babies. They're so young."

I use qTranslate and I am trying t find a event calendar that will work with it.
I am definitely intrigued by your calendaring software. I like a few of the premium plugins and would be interested in buying them.
Bt, upon entering an e vent, and displaying it, the bilingual pars to not show up. When entering an event, you enter a title and a text for each event, in each language. qTranslate keeps both in the database. Then, when you have the French version displayed, the French text sows up, and the English when the English is chosen.
If your plug in, the qTranslate plug in is not recognized for some reason.
Please let me know if I am dong something wrong or maybe your plug in does not work with qTranslate.

Every week, mortgage finance giant Freddie Mac releases average rates on four types of home loans, including 30-year fixed-rate mortgages - the most popular type of loan for home buyers.
Lately, the number put out by Freddie Mac has been incredibly low - temptingly so for people thinking about refinancing or buying a new place. But anyone who comes across this average may be disappointed when they find out what kind of rate they actually qualify for.
Why is it that the average mortgage rate can be so hard for an actual borrower to get? Here are some questions and answers.
Q: First of all, what's the average been lately?
A: Average rates on 30-year fixed mortgages reached 4.78 percent the week of April 2, a record low dating back to when Freddie Mac first started its survey of mortgage rates in 1971. That mark was tied when the latest number came out Thursday.
Rates began falling in the winter and slid again after the Federal Reserve said last month it would buy $1.2 trillion in mortgage-backed securities and $300 billion in long-term government debt, which traditionally influences rates on 30-year home loans.
Q: What's the benefit of having a lower mortgage rate?
A: Low rates result in less interest that borrowers have to pay on top of their principal loan balance.
Freddie Mac says the low rates have spurred refinancing activity - borrowers who refinanced during this year's first quarter reduced their mortgage payments by about $2.5 billion over the incoming year.
Q: So, can I get a mortgage with a 4.78 percent rate?
A: Not necessarily. There are several reasons that borrowers may not get the low rates they expect.
First, consumers must realize that Freddie Mac reports average rates, which should not be thought of as a standard, industrywide number.
Second, a rate can change several times during the day because of fluctuations in the market - it could be 5.5 percent in the morning and increase to 5.75 percent in the afternoon.
Loan rates also vary by type. For instance, Freddie Mac's survey showed Thursday that the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 4.48 percent this week, lower than the 30-year fixed mortgage.
And the size of the loan can affect the interest rate - "jumbo loans," ones taken out for expensive homes, are becoming harder to get and carry higher rates than loans for $729,000 or less, for example.
Q: Let's say all those factors work out in my favor. What else can keep me from getting a low rate?
A: For one thing, mortgage lenders look closely at credit scores.
If you have a FICO score - a commonly used credit score - close to 800, you're more likely to get an attractive rate. A borrower with, say, a 650 credit score can't expect an interest rate comparable to the record lows reported by Freddie Mac.
Also, it can be hard to get the lowest rates if you want to borrow too large a percentage of your home's value.
The cutoff varies - sometimes you can get the best rates by keeping the loan to less than 80 percent of the home's value, but sometimes the threshold can be as low as 60 percent.
Q: So should I be looking elsewhere, besides these average rates that come out each week, as I try to figure out what sort of mortgage I'll be able to get?
A: Freddie Mac releases its survey of mortgage rates for a given week on Thursdays, so reports about it are backward-looking and not a great way to determine what rate a borrower can get right now.
Home buyers or owners seeking to refinance should do their own research. Web sites such as the Mortgage Bankers Association's and Yahoo Finance provide updated rates on all types of loans.

So Who's Right On USD/JPY? Goldman's Stopler Or THE OTHERS 4 comments
With most technical analysts focusing merely on technicals it is no surprise that most financial houses have turned extremely bullish on the pair. Yes, USDJPY broke through a long term trend so let the Dennis Gartmans, Jim O Neil, Albert Edwards, UBS and others tell us that it is time for the Yen to drop and the USD to flourish. Apparently the BOJ's latest move made the trick.
We are also very bearish Yen but for as we think the light will probably soon shine on Japan's fiscal house and the BOJ will have to devalue aggressively. Furthermore as you can see on the chart below, the US 2y yield having hit close to 0 and being effectively pegged (apart for the recent bout of optimism/see Albert), there is little reason for the Yen to go much higher or the USD much lower as a matter of fact.
Except of course for those real yields as explained earlier. Goldman's Thomas Stopler courtesy of Zerohedge argues:
"As we have been pointing out for some time, there is a substantial risk that the sharp move in the JPY will reverse at least partially in the new fiscal year. Seasonal patterns point in that direction. In addition, we have also highlighted that the recent deterioration in the trade balance was likely driven by temporary factors, and our Japanese economists expect the current account balance to remain in surplus in the next few years.The surprise improvement in the February trade balance in Japan supports our view and we are now also coming very close to fiscal year-end in Japan. This news comes against the backdrop of substantial speculative short Yen positions, according to our Sentiment Index and IMM data. Unwinding of these positions could therefore be an important driver of $/JPY weakness.The perception after the February BoJ meeting was that the bank was changing its stance, another important factor for the Yen. The central bank sounded more committed to achieving a re-defined 1% inflation target and in a more front-loaded manner, so we do believe that some real shift has occurred. That meeting also coincided with the beginning of the sharp Yen sell-off. However, the subsequent March meeting failed to follow up with additional easing measures, which led to some re-assessment by markets of the extent of the change in BoJ policy.In contrast, we continue to expect QE3 by the Fed, which would suggest that the Fed remains more dovish than the BoJ. Monetary policy differentials therefore imply the recent move in $/JPY was too large. This is also visible in the correlation with rate differentials, where USD/JPY appears to have substantially overshot the moves in rate markets.We would recommend investors go short $/JPY at current levels of 82.80 for a target of 79 with a stop on a close above 84.50.
I tend to agree with him short term. The collapse of the yen will not happen when all pundits have called it. Real rates are positive in Japan and negative by more than 2.5% in the US! As long as the FED keeps those real rates so negative, it will be difficult for USDJPY to make much headway without further very aggressive BOJ/MOF action to counter the complete alienation of its economy or some kind of sovereign crisis.

Skip to comments.Know Mormons' beliefs before voting for them
Posted on 07/16/2011 7:24:33 AM PDT by greyfoxx39
In response to whether the public should vote for a Mormon for president, one should know what beliefs a candidate had.
Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman have Mormon roots and they have been vague about their beliefs and loyalty to the LDS church.
Mormon theology includes ideas like their priesthood brethren will become the government leaders, or future kings of the world, in a globalized theocracy, and that their male leaders will take over when a second coming of Christ occurs. They believe they are the pre-ordained leaders to rule over a coming theocratic kingdom.
Worthy Mormon males are temple attending, dressing in white with special learned handshakes, altar rituals, Masonic rites and gestures and do secretive activities different from normal society.
They believe they are the future gods of new worlds in a life after this one. They follow prophets with ever-changing doctrine and change their fictional "Book of Mormon" every time it is found to be un-politically correct.
Their women are taught they are good for breeding, to have large families.
A member of this cult is loyal to its church leaders and to whatever their modern prophets tell them is gospel, which changes at their will.
They claim to be Christian, but Mormon polytheism of many gods/goddesses in a hereafter, rituals that must be performed in their temples, garment wearing and works (not grace) that saves a person is different ideology.
It is debatable whether Mormons are Christians, and they have other scriptures special to Mormonism written by their leaders, not just the New Testament, like their Doctrine and Covenants and Book of Mormon.
To learn about them and their practices, beliefs and personal character will help us determine whether they are the future leaders of Americans. Or are they really stuck in their controversial past?
One thing we know for certain, based on direct observation, Romney and Huntsman are RINOS!
what does the fact of a candidate not being Christian have to do with voting for a conservative?????I would vote for a black jew in order to remove zer0bama the Marxist...
I would vote for a Mormon....
I will not vote, however, for Mitt Romney and not because of his religion...but because he is a RINO sc*mbag who was the architect of Obamacare.....he is probably the only republican I would stay home for in 2012...or at least vote third-party....
MMmmmm. Probably because they have been out into the wider world and are not all that loyal. Call it secularization, sophistication, or agnosticism, or whatever you will. But, when was the last time you saw Romney, Huntsman, or Harry Reid coming out of an LDS church? Do they even attend? Against that backdrop, consider Obama's steady attendance at the church of Reverend Wright.
Know any candidate's beliefs before voting for them. Duh.
What is your stand on the right to bear arms?
What is your stand on abortion?
What is your stand on socialized medicine?
Huntsman, Romney and Reid are all temple mormons.
I'd say mine's Perry.
There is no danger of Mormons achieving a working majority in any branch of government any time soon. I am less concerned about the upfront Mormon who practices his religion (and whose political application in the political sphere in actual law is largely decent) than in the secular atheist/humanist who doesn't even realize of doesn't care that he is forcing his worldview into everybody's personal life.
It is no worse to be a polytheist than to be a pantheist, atheist or deist.
Traditionally-minded Catholics, conservative Christians of all stripes, practicing Mormons, observant Jews and non-denominational theists with a good grounding in natural law all have a deep interest in undoing the radicals who explicitly started their takeover in the 60s and are continuing it to this day.
What is your stand on the right to bear arms? Romney, Huntsman - opposed
What is your stand on abortion? Romney, Huntsman - support
What is your stand on socialized medicine? Romney, Huntsman - support
Absolutely not.
They are polytheists and therefore CANNOT be Christian.
As I have posted here before, I once heard a Mormon elder explain that "Earth's God" was sent here by "Twelve other gods."
But, when was the last time you saw Romney, Huntsman, or Harry Reid coming out of an LDS church? Do they even attend?
- - - - -
Romney and Reid, yes. They are both 'active' (to use the LDS term), have temple recommends, and church jobs (callings).
Huntsman is more of a 'jack Mormon'. Reid and Romney are both TBM (True Blue or Truly Brainswashed) Mormons. They are true believers in Mormonism.
Biblical Jesus - eternal
lds jesus - created
Biblical Jesus - paid the price on the Cross
lds jesus - paid the price in the garden
Biblical Jesus - sufficient, He alone can Save
lds jesus - not sufficient IE after all we can do
mormonISM is not Christianity, it is not debatable.
I would NEVER vote for a Mormon. I know to much about their religion (see tagline) to ever trust them in a position of power.
You may want to check out Rocky Hulse's book "When Salt Lake City Calls" if you think Mormonism wouldn't affect a presidency negatively.
Si, Si ;
I agree with your first two paragraphs.
While the lesser of 2 evils is evil -
it is also lesser
Jews listen to Rabbis
Catholics listen to Bishops
Protestants listen to Wesley, Calvin, Baker, Sweigart, etc..
Incorrect. mormons supported Reid over Angle.
I'm going to let Jesus Christ make that decision
- - - - - -
He already has. Mormons are hell bound because they reject Him in favor of a false Christ and a system of works.
is anyone out there old enough, or well informed enough, to remember the stink that was raised about jack Kennedy's religion? There were several adds, print and radio, that more or less stated that if he became President jack Kennedy would be taking directions from the Pope.
To me all religious activity should take place at home, behind closed doors, and in the dead of night because it is one of the most personal activities that a person can indulge in. How else can this nation survive?
I know they are Mormons. But how "Mormon" are they is the question. I know Catholics who are not very Catholic, Episcopalians who never attend church (well, maybe on Easter), and Protestants who are thoroughly secularized in their thinking.
And Christians listen to God.
Romney, Huntsman and Reid are all temple mormons. IE mormons in good standing.
Yeah we've got some gems like the Kennedys, Pelosi, Binden, Kerry, Sebelius, etc.
Makes my blood boil.
"Mormon theology includes ideas like their priesthood brethren will become the government leaders, or future kings of the world, in a globalized theocracy, and that their male leaders will take over when a second coming of Christ occurs. They believe they are the pre-ordained leaders to rule over a coming theocratic kingdom."
Romney and Huntsman have both taken this oath more than once in their temples: "You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the law of consecration as contained in this, the book of Doctrine and Covenants [he displays the book], in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.
Obama's failure is no excuse to vote for a mormon who will use the same cronyism to "build up the kingdom of Zion".
Jews listen to Rabbis
Catholics listen to Bishops
Protestants listen to Wesley, Calvin, Baker, Sweigart, etc..
- - - - -
Not at all in the same way Mormons listen to their Prophet. Been there done that (see tagline).
Check out the book "When Salt Lake City Calls" if you think otherwise.
You may feel that way, but it is not Biblical.
Very well stated.
I believe this is exactly why there is a well-organized cabal of religious bigots seeking to divide these very people.
They are working for the enemy. Some of them may be wearing conservative or Christian clothing, but if there main interest is in marginalizing members of the groups which you mentioned (and other pro-American, pro-constitutional groups), then they have outed themselves as either agents for the enemy (at worst) or people too stupid to understand the need to work together in a common cause against a real enemy (at best).
The track record of these bigots is equally sorry-- for every convert they make to their brand of Christianity, they turn off hundreds to religion altogether.
The difference is, a Mormon WOULD be taking directions from SLC. I have listed a book above that documents that the comparison of Romney (or any Mormon) to JFK is a false one.
But how Mormon are they is the question
- - - - - -
Reid and Romney - VERY VERY VERY Mormon.
Huntsman - not so much.
Which means? I know plenty of church-goers, or at least, church members, who are "in good standing" . . . and it means little with respect to their faith.
I'd vote for a "conservative black Jew" also, as long as he wasn't a practicing "black Jew", claiming falsely, to be a Christian.
How so? Explain.
Isn't it the Mormons who claim that Jesus and Satan were brothers?
Which means?
- - - - -
Which means they are true believers in Mormonsim, who attend church regularly, and completely believe their church's teachings.
They are good, faithful, believing, practicing Mormons.
VMAN, you have said it all in a very precise and elegant way, their are two many secular haters to condemn Mormons for their religion...we as Christians are only in control of our own faith.
I pray my light and faith will reveal truths to all who see'
To me all religious activity should take place at home, behind closed doors, and in the dead of night
Tell that to the 52,000 mormon missionaries who are out in the world daily telling Christians that their faith is wrong and only through mormonism will they be saved. Mitt was one of them.
Yes. Jesus is the 'firstborn', Lucifer is the 'second born' and they both vied for the opportunity to be our "savior". Jesus won btw, kinda.
You probably hold the same intolerant view of Catholics because their view of works and faith are different from yours as well.
You are just too gutless to make comparably intolerant statements about Catholics because it isn't fashionable.
Being MOrmon is an all or nothing proposition. You are either 'active' or a 'jack mormon' (inactive).
Being 'active' means - they attend services (every week or nearly for at least 3 hours), they have church jobs (Romeny was the equivelent of a pastor at one point), they go to other members houses as often as they can (considering their schudules) to give lessons, they pay titihing, they wear the holy underwear, they were married in the LDS temple (which is about 25% of LDS), they took oaths to put the LDS church (not God not Christ) first above everything else and to use their influence to build up THE CHURCH (again not God, not Christ). They keep the health code, they read the Book of Mormon, they submit to the Prophet. I can go on.
They are very very very devout and that only happens if you really believe it.
Who appointed you to speak for Jesus Christ?
You probably hold the same intolerant view of Catholics because their view of works and faith are different from yours as well.
- - - - - - - -
No me, the Bible.
And I hold no ill will against the Catholics, I consider them to be my brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact, I'm even allowed on Catholic Caucus threads here because of my background and academic interest in Catholicism.
So, once again your attack on me fails.
I pinged some Catholics to confirm this. Have any of you ever heard me say a harsh word against the Catholics?
And John F. Kennedy will do whatever the Pope tells him to if he gets elected.
Source, other than your mormon ties? Post a link to this comment.
Ah, but what is in an oath? When do they swear? Age 12? Confirmation? At 18, embarking upon some missionary venture? At age 60? Do they really believe what they once swore? Or is it all just part of custom and heritage. Many Protestants scoff at some of the more fundamentalist practices within Christianity, or at the belief of Roman Catholics that the bread and wine really do become the actual body and blood of Christ. But, of course, Catholics swear by it.
