Lets review. Things have changed substantially in the last 3 years. This is just a short overview of what lenders are looking for NOW to get someone a mortgage:
Conventional, conforming loans - Generally you need 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance. Lenders will approve 10% down WITH mortgage insurance but the cost of that has increased substantially. Also, you need at least a 700 credit score to GET mortgage insurance. To get the best rate, you need a credit score of 700 or better as well. You can GET a conforming loan with a 620 credit score, but your interest rate will be higher. You need steady income (2 years or more) and your debt to income ratio should be 35% or lower, but NEVER above 40%. In some instances a 45% will be approved, but with a 45% debt ratio you better not need food or a car. Debt ratio is calculated by taking your gross monthly income x 35%. That is the maximum amount of your mortgage paying including principle, interest, taxes and insurance. If you are self employed, that will be calculated based on your adjusted gross income. Stated Income loans are gone, so think about this when your accountant writes off everything and the kitchen sink to get your taxable income to zero. Even if you choose an interest only loan, your debt ratio will take into consideration the fully amortized payment. How much does your credit score influence the rates? As of today a 620 credit score will have a 30 year fixed rate of 5.25 (Pennsylvania rates). A 700 credit score will have an interest rate of 4.875%. On a $150,000 loan, that a difference of $57 each month JUST for a lower credit score. That's $20,520 over the life of the loan. Oh, and bankruptcies need to be gone for 4 years. You can have NO late payments on anything after a bankruptcy. No collection accounts. Late payments on a Student Loan is just as bad as a bankruptcy or a late payment on a mortgage. Student loans in default will disqualify you for a mortgage. The downpayment money must be "sourced" i.e. you better be able to prove where it came from and that it does not need to be paid back to anybody.
FHA Loans - Once upon a time FHA loans were the answer for people who didn't have great credit or enough money for a downpayment. Now you need a minimum credit score of 640 to even get a loan. The downpayment is 3.5% which must be YOUR money. Gifts of funds are allowed to help with closing costs. Mortgage insurance is required on EVERY loan - both upfront AND monthly for a minimum of 5 years regardless of your Loan to Value. Today's rates on an FHA loan are 5%. On a $150,000 base loan amount, your up-front mortgage insurance is $1500 (which can be added to the loan.) The monthly mortgage insurance on a $150,000 loan is $112.50 PER MONTH. so the monthly payment on an FHA $150,000 loan would be $926 PLUS your taxes and insurance. For an FHA loan you may be required to pay off collections before the loan gets approved. Your appraisal is more stringent and will cost more than a regular home appraisal. ANY conditions which the appraiser feels are questionable MUST be done before the loan is closed. Peeling paint, lack of hand railings on steps, worn roof tiles are all examples of items which will impact an FHA appraisal.
USDA Rural Development Loans - Little known and under-utilized, the USDA "Rural" loan is not just for homes in the boondocks. Lots of metropolitan areas have communities 20-30 minutes from "town" which qualify. All of the counties surrounding Pittsburgh, for example, qualify to a large extent for these loans. The reason why these loans are so popular is that there is NO mortgage insurance needed and you may finance 102% of the purchase price. The interest rate is 5%. The monthly payment on a USDA loan for a $150,000 purchase would be $805 plus taxes and insurance. That is $121 per month LESS than an FHA loan. Some issues with a USDA - there are maximum income guidelines, you can own NO other home at the time you purchase a house with a USDA loan and you must have a 640 credit score. In addition, the address of the home you are purchasing must be qualified by the USDA.
Other items that lenders look at when qualifying you for a mortgage are:
-Payment shock. If you are paying $500 in rent and the new mortgage payment is $1500 they want to be SURE that you can meet that obligation.
- They want to see 12 months cancelled checks from your landlord if this is your first home, or they want to see proof that your last 12 months mortgage payments have been made on time.
- Don't plan to use the income from a second job to qualify for a mortgage unless you have held that second job for AT LEAST 2 years. Likewise, if you are self-employed, you must be in business for at least 2 years AND provide complete tax returns with all schedules.
- Be prepared to provide bank statements for at least the last 2 months. IF you have bounced checks you're probably toast. Lenders do not like to see people who abuse their bank accounts.
- Don't go out and buy anything while you are in the process of getting a mortgage. The payment on your new car might just queer the whole deal for you.
- Don't be surprised to find that the lender will expect to see 2 or 3 months "reserves" in a savings account. That means you may have to prove that you've got 3 months mortgage payments in a bank account for emergencies. (AFTER closing costs and downpayment are paid)
- Be prepared to have 4-6% of the sales price set aside for closing costs. Most loans will allow 3% to be paid by the seller, but the rest is on you.
- Budget $100 every month for what I call the "The house is going to need something" Fund. Whether that's a broken window, or a new furnace or just a bunch of flowers for the front yard, having that contingency fund is important.
- Don't believe your realtor when they tell you that you can afford a $300,000 home. Look at the numbers. Consider all the factors INCLUDING your life-style. If you eat out 3 days a week and do NOT want to give that up, include that money in your budget. If you know you will need a new car in the next year, include that in your budget. Saving up for college? Budget it. And always, always, always include additions to your own retirement account in your budget.
Knowing these rules will make home purchase and ownership less stressful. Finally, take a good hard look at where you want to live. Know the community and look at options. The difference between homes in a 15 mile radius of your "target" area might have a price difference of 50% OR MORE. Be prepared to compromise. Don't buy more house than you can afford. Consider the cost of maintenance and upkeep. If you hate to cut grass, don't buy a house on 2 acres.
Follow these general guidelines and you too can be a homeowner.

I have mentioned recently that my Better Half has long suffered my bemusement in retail establishments. I'm sorry, I can't help it. I consider myself a Roving Correspondent trying to make sense of a world that so often seems incomprehensible.
I think all sources of information should be pondered. So in the checkout line at our local super market I always stop to read the headlines of the "tabloids".
Publications such as The National Enquirer are a fascinating window into a Universe where the trials and tribulations of roughly 100 individuals are laid bare for us week after week. Most of these citizens of Tabloidia go by their first names only, or in the case of the aristocracy, by mere fragments of their names. Brad. Jen. Sometimes their names are amalgamated into fascinating new hybrid forms. Bennifer is one I recall from a few years back.
We are expected to care about these attractive demigods. To celebrate their loves, to agonize over their weight gain. I think we are supposed to view the very public Betrayals and Crises that they endure and feel as if our own lives are somehow just a little better.
Or something.
So imagine my surprise when I toted my bag of groceries up and discovered that the lot of them, Elvis, Babs Streisand, Bat Boy, the entire cast of Friends....had been banished. Off you go into the obscurity that your real contributions to society probably warrant. The tabloid rack was still there. But it held.....this.
You can still see the names of the publications. National Enquirer, OK!, Star, along with a few "Women's Magazines" that to be fair are one sixteenth of a notch higher in literary quality. But what is actually for sale here are, as it says up top.... "Adult Coloring Books".
I can think of many possible explanations for what I am seeing here. Most likely these are in fact coloring books for children. Sloppy errors in labeling are too common in stores. You would think that I would have just picked one up and peeked inside. But I did not do so.
Because I was afraid of what I might find.
Now this is a family market in a reasonably wholesome community, so I am pretty sure the content would not be the sort of thing you would stumble into if you were to Google up "Fantasy Land".
It might be worse than that.
Have literacy standards fallen so far that Celeb News written at a fourth grade level has become as incomprehesible as Sanskrit?
Of late there has been a bit of grumbling about so called "fake news", tantalizing stuff that is cranked out as click bait and as shiny objects to divert, distract and mislead. Have we as a society lost faith not only in the traditional outlets for "Real News" but also in the long established purveyors of "Fake News", the supermarket tabloids?
Has the world become such a frightening place that the recent campus nonsense of offering students "Safe Spaces" with blankets, cookies and coloring books has escaped the mostly harmless Cloud Cucoo Land of delayed collegiate adolescence and is becoming generalized?
Enquiring Minds don't really want to know.
Well one day later the sign was changed. These are coloring books for kids. So there is no cause for concern, right?
Or is there...?

Welcome to Class 2's page
Welcome back!
On Wednesday 14th June we had a very successful sports day! Well done to everyone from Class 2 who demonstrated their sporting abilities, perseverance, team work and sportsman like conduct. I was extremely proud of everyone!
In Literacy we have been looking at minibeasts. We explored our outdoor classroom and generated adjectives and verbs to describe what a minibeast looks like and moves like.
We then used these words to create our own Minibeast Performance Poetry. We took inspiration from Michael Rosen.
We've loved watching him perfom 'Chocolate Cake'.

If you're planning on coming to Africa's top surf and lifestyle events in Ballito this year, then you sure know how to have a good time with Accommodation!
It's times like these, as fun as they are, where accommodation in Ballito is few and far between. Fortunately, we have super low prices during that time, at only R 1000.00 per chalet per night! Take a look at our Accommodation and Facilities page for more details about why this is great value for money.
If you weren't planning on coming to the event, then you might want to see what Olivia Jones Communications has to say about it:
"The competition will run from July 1 to 7 and is the African continent's only internationally rated professional surf event. Since its inception, the Mr Price Pro Ballito has earned a reputation as Africa's biggest and best surf, beach and lifestyle event, with the Mr Price Pro Ballito Beach Festival that runs simultaneously with the competition.
"As well as boasting impressive retail opportunities, the festival seeks to provide constant and varied entertainment- the highlight of which is the Free Music Concerts taking place at Salt Rock on the 4th, 5th and 6th July. The stage will host almost twenty bands over three days, including such talented and renowned acts as, Gangs of Ballet, aKing, and iSceam and the Chocolate Stix. The headlining acts for Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be Big Nuz, Prime Circle, and Pascal & Pearce respectively. Prime Circle boast an equally prestigious career, with several record-breaking albums to their name. In 2011, they won the MK Award for Best International Breakthrough Act. In addition to this, leading DJ's- DJ Milkshake, and DJ Dino Bravo, will be closing acts at the concert. DJ Milkshake has gained a reputation as one of South Africa's most versatile DJs, with a multicultural appeal that won him his own show on 5fm radio in 2010, The Shakedown. DJ Dino Bravo's Latin inspi red beats earned his 2003 album Bravomania platinum status, an achievement that he has only built upon since then. With acts of such calibre set to rock the stage, the Beach Festival's free concerts look set to be a real hit.
"The concerts are just one aspect of the Beach Festival's impressive array of entertainments, however. Guests will also have the opportunity to make the most of the festival's Beach Mania programme, which aims to get children and adults alike involved in beach sports, making the most of the event's location. The KwaDukuza LED Sports Unit and the RedCap Foundation will also be hosting soccer leagues and fun days throughout the duration of the festival, with the goal of entertaining and integrating young people from all social groups. For those who prefer spectating to participating, last year's hugely popular extreme sports demonstrations return to the festival once more, with BMX, breakdance, wakeskate and Parkour showcases set to wow the crowds. The event will also provide a stage for various educational campaigns, including initiatives concerning the effect of clima te change on local coastlines.
"As if that weren't enough, this year's extravaganza will see the addition of a three day Food and Wine festival running from July 2 to 4, enabling crowds to experience new tastes and ensure that absolutely all of their senses are satisfied."
Now that sounds like a great way to spend the first week of July! Once again, if you need some well-priced, self catering accommodation in Durban during that time, feel free to contact us.

Six boys from Dulcie September Primary School took two young, vulnerable marsh owls to Lowry Park Animal and Owl Sanctuary after its mother was hit by a truck on 19 April.
Leondre Thompson, John Ephraim, Berry Ephraim, Kenneth Wana, Bafana Mphera and Owami Mackay had witnessed the owlets' mother being hit by the truck and decided to save the fluffy babies and take them to the sanctuary.
READ Golden Knights Soccer Academy holds soccer fundraiser at Midrand High School
Almost a month later, Simone Burger, the education officer said the chicks were doing well. "Here at Lowry Park Owl and Animal Sanctuary, when it comes to conservation and general animal welfare, we try help wherever we can. We are currently hand-feeding the birds and preparing to keep them in an enclosure at the zoo for their safety," she said.
Burger further said that marsh owls are ground nesting birds, making them very vulnerable to human interference. "We have not seen very many numbers of this species within the area for some time now. This is due to a lot of construction happening in and around President Park in the last few years. Now that all the hustle and bustle has settled down, it seems the birds are making a return. This is a great example of animal adaptation," she concluded.

Backing up in Windows Mobile
Which is something I haven't really made much use of and really should do as I'm putting a load more stuff into Windows Mobile right now.
As is normal on a lot of platforms the back up wants you to be connected to power before it runs, and that makes even more sense given that the battery on this old device isn't in that good shape.

You know why I'm so fucking happy, today??? BECAUSE I'm LEAVING LA--THE PIT OF ALL PITS!!! Indeed... my snotty relatives were right that LA is a cesspool--but they were wrong that I can't get along, out here! I DO JUST FINE!!!
All you have to do is scare everybody and they stop bothering you!
The unfortunate thing is that when you figure out how to scare the psychoist of psychos... you accidentally scare nice people, too.
No, no, no... you'll only get put into severe pain/death if you try to stand in my way. If you're a world peacer... I'm going to baby you! Even if I just think you're a scared person... or a person that just can't calm down--I usually try to say something that makes the person feel at ease.
See? So we should all just be friends!!! NOW DON'T YOU THINK THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL???
I think it does! Fund unlimited job creation!

J&M spectator wingtips, made in USA, Aristocraft line, sz. 10.5B/AA - these are a really good example of the type of great product J&M used to put out once upon a time. These shoes have a channeled sole and a bevelled waist that puts today's C&Js and even EGs to shame:

Edward Green for Paul Stuart brown captoes, sz 10.5 on the defunct 33 last. These never fit me, I picked them up because I thought they'd be a nice refurbishing project but just never got around to it. What's interesting about these shoes is the diamond brogue design on the back quarters, dont really see that very often, as well as the serrated edges to the leather. Normally, on a clean captoe without broguing, I think the leather is cut cleanly. The serrated edges give the shoe a unique look, in my opinion.

This invention relates to the detection of optical signals of predetermined configuration against a cluttered background. In particular, it relates to the use of complex spatial filtering techniques in a coherent optical system for locating objects of a given geometric configuration.
In large scale aerial mapping or military photographic reconnaissance it is frequently desirable to locate on the film artificial objects of known size and shape. An artificial object normally stands out against a completely natural background but can become difficult to detect in backgrounds containing many artificial objects. In large scale mapping the area of map detail can become so great and the contrast so low that visual location of such objects becomes very tedious and time consuming. Thus it would be very desirable to automatically process film in a way to pinpoint objects having known configurations.
In accordance with the present invention it has been found that complex spatial filtering in the Fourier transform plane of a coherent optical system can be used to selectively focus to a spot only light transmitted from a target (photographic transparency) that represents predetermined symmetrical or near symmetrical configurations. Thus it is an object of the invention to define novel means for locating geometrical objects in a cluttered background. It is a further object of the invention to define spatial filter means providing the inverse Fourier transform of an optical signal. It is still a further object to define a method for spatial filtering the Fourier transform of a photographic image to locate geometrical objects in the image.
Further objects and features of the invention will become apparent on reading the following specification with reference to the illustrations in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic of a basic spatial filtering optical system;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of an aperture plate having an aperture of a selected size and geometric shape.
FIG. 3 is a front elevation of a photographic negative formed in plane 15 of the FIG. 1 optical system by illumination through the aperture plate of FIG. 2 positioned in plane 12.
FIG. 4 is a graphical representation of light amplitude and phase at plane 15 produced by illumination of aperture 18 in plane 12.
FIG. 5 is a graphical representation of light amplitude and phase after passing through filter 19 in plane 15.
FIG. 6 is a phase filter for cancelling the phase reversals of FIG. 5.
FIGS. 7 to 12 are amplitude and phase filters for a series of geometric configurations.
FIG. 13 is a cluttered photograph with superimposed location detection spots obtained in accordance with the invention.
The basic spatial filtering optical system is known and is illustrated in FIG. 1 for descriptive purposes. The figure shows quasi-monochromatic, small light source 10 illuminating collimating lens 11. Object plane 12 is indicated by a dashed line at the front focal plane of a transform lens 13. Spatial filter plane 15 is indicated by a dashed line at the back focal plane of lens 13. Plane 15 is also the Fourier transform plane for a transparent target positioned in object plane 12. Retransform lens 16 is positioned one focal length in back of filter plane 15 and image plane 17 is indicated by a dashed line at the back focal plane of lens 16.
The illumination bandwidth and the size of source 10 are such that areas of individual signal object size are coherently illuminated, i.e. over the dimensions of any signal object there will be no substantial variation in the phase front of the illumination. Lenses 13 and 16 are suitably convex lenses and the terms transform and retransform are used to denote their functions. Lens 13 produces a two-dimensional spatial Fourier transform of the target in filter plane 15 and lens 16 produces an inverted image of the target at image plane 17.
The general spatial filtering problem is discussed by E. L. O'Neill in "Introduction to Statistical Optics," Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1963; and "Selected Topics in Optics and Communications Theory," Boston University Physical Research Laboratories, Technical Note No. 133, October 1957.
The amplitude of the optical disturbance in the filter plane is in general, a complex function having a continuous phase variation. Most spatial filtering has been limited in the past to operations on the amplitude of the disturbance in the filter plane. Much better control over the appearance of the image in image plane 17 is possible if both phase and amplitude of the Fourier compounds are operated on. The construction of the appropriate filter particularly the phase part, is the most difficult problem in spatial filtering.
According to the present invention, signals representative of a given size and geometric shape are operated on by spatial filters in a Fourier transform plane. The filters operate to convert such signals to effectively uniform illumination leaving that plane. The result is to turn the light representative of that signal back to its original condition as a uniform plane wave front in the filter plane which is then focussed to a point at the back focal plane of lens 16 in the inverted image position relative to the original signal object. The ideal spatial filter to accomplish this should have a transmission function that is the inverse of the Fourier transform of the given geometric configuration. Both amplitude and phase filters are required.
The amplitude filter is readily made. An aperture or transparency carrying an image of the desired shape and size is placed in target plane 12 of the system in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 depicts a circular aperture 18 used for making the amplitude filter to detect and locate circular objects of the same size.
Photographic film is placed in transform plane 15 and is exposed to the Fourier transform of the given geometric configuration, i.e., circular aperture 18. The film is developed as a negative transparency to serve as the amplitude filter. FIG. 3 illustrates the appearance of the amplitude filter for a circle. This filter will introduce some small phase variations which should be minimized. A liquid gate is one method of minimizing such phase variations. The phase filter is necessary to correct for the phase reversals in the Fourier transform. FIG. 4 is a curve representing the variation in light amplitude along a line through the Fourier transform typical of a circle. Line 23 represents light amplitude and line 24 represents the zero axis of no amplitude. Portions of curve 23 below line 24 represent amplitude of the opposite phase polarity relative to amplitude above line 24.
The amplitude filter described above will average the curve out without correcting for phase to produce an amplitude pattern something like FIG. 5.
The variations in curve 25 of FIG. 5 represent phase variations with no amplitude variation. Correction for these phase changes is obtained by a π phase reversal for the portions below zero line 24 relative to the portions above the line. One way of doing this is to examine the negative used for the amplitude filter. The image on this negative will consist of some type of progression of relative transparency and opacity. The dark center of each area is an intensity peak and the central area for a circle has a diameter twice the width of each of the other areas.
Each area of a given phase can be measured to midpoints of highest transparency adjacent opposite sides of an opacity peak. The phase filter is then designed to provide π phase reversals between alternate areas. FIG. 6 illustrates a phase filter 26 to match amplitude filter 19 of FIG. 3. In FIG. 6 black areas 27 represent a π shift in phase relative to plain areas 28. It is immediately apparent from the figures that the phase filter is a repetitive filter that can be extended out to any diameter by continuing the same repetition of phase shifts.
On the other hand the amplitude filter drops quickly away to no noticeable variation after a few changes from light to dark. This illustrates the sharp distinction between amplitude and phase operations that are required for the present invention.
With the amplitude filter of FIG. 3 and the phase filter of FIG. 6, circular objects, roughly corresponding to the circle of FIG. 2 can be readily detected from a heavily cluttered background or from a very low contrast image. A transparency containing images of the circular objects to be located is placed in target plane 12 and filters 19 and 26 are superimposed in the filter plane 15.
Either a screen or a photosensitive recording material is positioned in image plane 17 and the transparency is illuminated by source 10. Sharply contrasting points of light appearing in the image plane will be located at the inverted image positions relative to the desired circular object locations in the transparency.
The amplitude filter does significantly reduce the total amount of light attributable to the circular objects. However, most of this attentuation will be in the dc spot of the transform and will attenuate other signals to a similar degree. By contrast, all the light remaining attributable to the desired circular objects is focussed to a small spot while other light remains spread. The relative intensity difference makes the spots stand out sharply. Machine or visual location is simple and unambiguous.
FIGS. 7 and 8 depict amplitude and phase filters for a square. FIGS. 9 and 10 depict amplitude and phase filters for two parallel lines. FIGS. 11 and 12 depict amplitude and phase filters for a cross.
All of these filters relate to geometric configurations that are symmetric about two mutually perpendicular axes. For nonsymmetrical configurations the Fourier transform becomes complex and the phase filter difficult to construct by known techniques. Phase filters of the symmetrical configurations can be designed by observation and measurement such as described above or they can be readily designed by mathematical analysis.
The system will discriminate with respect to size, shape and, in the absence of radial symmetry, angular orientation.
For precisely locating the detected configurations with respect to clutter in the targent transparency, it has been found useful to superimpose the detected spots with the target. In one example, detecting circles of a specific size, the results were photographically combined to give the picture depicted in FIG. 13. Dots 30 centered in circle 31 are the locating spots obtained in accordance with the invention.
While the configuration picture depicted in FIG. 13 can be obtained by recording the image in plane 17 and superimposing it with the original target, the system used in the present invention provides a far simpler method. By permitting some incoherent light, i.e., ambient lighting, to enter the optical system through the target along with light from source 10, an unaltered image of the target will appear in coincidence with the spot image.
While the invention has been described in relation to specific embodiments, it is not intended to be limited thereby, but to cover the invention broadly within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
