Kanye West needs a snooze button for human contact
Kanye West, unfortunately, is not logging off after torpedoing his remaining public goodwill with a tweet defending Bill Cosby.
As Yeezy season three approaches, he's been tweeting up a storm. He has interspersed inflammatory tweets with studio shots from his apparently unfinished and untitled album, looks from his upcoming fashion show, performance art pieces and hype for his album premiere on Thursday.
Please no one text me or ask me for anything till Monday.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 10, 2016
So if you were going to text Kanye West before President's Day, don't. Not even with KIMOJI.

Cuccinelli up to bat?By Stephen Fountain, Editor
Filed Under Healthcare, Policy on Apr 22
The University of Virginia's political prognosticator Larry Sabato is out with an interesting nugget this morning: State Attorney General positions are the grooming grounds for governorships. He writes, "There's an old joke about the National Association of Attorneys General—their registered name is supposedly the National Association of Aspiring Governors."
In Virginia three of the last seven governors have been AGs. In part, this is because Virginia has a very short ballot, electing only the lieutenant governor and attorney general in addition to governor, and the governor is limited to one consecutive four-year term. (Virginia is the only state remaining with such a prohibition.) The other statewide elected officials are naturally considered in line for the statehouse, and they often run flat out for four years to get the promotion.
Virginia State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has made headlines recently with his suit against the federal governemt charging the recently passed healthcare law to be unconstitutional. He recently spoke publicly about the upcoming suit:
"Our focus is not the policies that are included in that bill. Policies are what elections are for. My job is the protection of the Constitution and the laws of Virginia and that is the narrow focus of what we are doing … in our lawsuit against the federal government. Virginia was the first state to pass a law on a bipartisan basis protecting Virginia citizens from being mandated to purchase health insurance. No one here. under Virginia law, can be ordered by anyone to purchase health insurance. Period. Obviously, those two laws are in conflict."
So, Cuccinelli has put himself front and center. On one side the lowly AG from Thomas Jefferson's Commonwealth; On the other, the mighty Barack Obama. Will David slay his Goliath? Or is this another swing for Casey up to bat? Imagine, Cuccinelli on the plate in Mudville:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Cuccinelli has struck out.

The heavy-lift Ariane 5 for Arianespace's April 15 mission is now complete following integration of its dual-satellite payload – consisting of THOR 7 and Sicral 2 – at the Spaceport in French Guiana.
Encapsulated in an ogive-shaped protective payload fairing, THOR 7 was lowered into place yesterday over its Sicral 2 co-passenger – which had been installed atop Ariane 5's core section during preceding activity.
Ariane 5's upper payload section – composed of THOR 7 and its payload fairing – is raised inside the Spaceport's Final Assembly Building for installation atop the launcher.
This integration milestone – achieved at the Spaceport's Final Assembly Building for Ariane 5 – clears the way for a new phase that includes the launch readiness review on April 13, which is to be followed by Ariane 5's rollout to the ELA-3 launch zone the next day.
Designated Flight VA222, liftoff is scheduled during a 1-hr., 54-min. launch window opening on April 15 at 4:43 p.m. local time in French Guiana, with the two spacecraft to be deployed on a mission lasting approximately 34 minutes.
As the upper payload in Ariane 5's arrangement, THOR 7 – which was built by SSL (Space Systems/Loral) for operation by Telenor Satellite Broadcasting – will be released first in the flight sequence.
This relay platform is equipped with Telenor's initial high-performance Ka-band payload, designed to serve the maritime sector – offering cost-effective solutions and high-powered coverage over the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the Red Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean. THOR 7 also has a Ku-band payload for broadcast and television services in Central and Eastern Europe.
Sicral 2 – a military telecommunications satellite designed to provide strategic and tactical telecommunications links for French and Italian military forces, as well as reserve capacity for other NATO nations – is to be deployed from the launcher's lower passenger position, with its separation to follow that of THOR 7.
The spacecraft will be lofted in the framework of a turnkey contract that the Italian Defense Ministry and the French DGA armament agency (Direction Générale de l'Armement) have with Thales Alenia Space Italy. Telespazio, among other things, is responsible for the launch service.

Unit Investment Trust Funds (UIT's) are a form of investment that pool investor's money into specific duration allocations of bonds, tax-free investments or equities. In the case of bond UIT's the risk is relatively low and a monthly fixed income is afforded to the investor and in the case of tax free bonds may yield a tax free income. Tracking UITS depends on the type of structure the UIT has i.e. if the UIT is an exchange traded fund (ETF) it can be tracked via conventional means such as stock exchange listings however not ETF UIT's may require direct inquiry via accounts and brokers. Unit investment trusts can be incorporated into an investment strategy while taking their unique advantages and disadvantages into account.
Unit investment trusts are sometimes similar to Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) with the exception of being of fixed duration i.e. the fund itself has a lifespan at the end of which the assets are sold and redistributed to 'unit' holders. UIT's are purchased at primary offerings and via brokers and are not always traded in the same way as stocks, mutual funds and ETF's depending on the type of UIT. However, some types of equity based UIT's can be tracked via exchange listings such as the NASDAQ, NYSE or AMEX and the majority of UIT's are equity funds.
Since some UIT's are exchangeable via major stock exchanges as ETF's, they can be tracked using the same means as stocks, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. Brokerage houses, financial websites and investment banks can all provide up to date information regarding the market price of a particular UIT. An example of a UIT is 'PowerShares QQQ' ticker QQQQ which is an equity UIT that is designed to diversify and correspond to the Nasdaq 100 index.
UITs that invest in bonds and are not actively traded fluctuate in market price based on the valuation of bonds within secondary markets that are not necessarily public exchanges. Such being the case, tracking bond UIT's can be facilitated by contacting the UIT company directly. For example, if a UIT joint owner i.e. investor owns a portion of a UIT, that investment will be listed in the account information of the UIT holder and thus trackable via one's account with the investment company through which the portion of the UIT was purchased.
Unit Investment Trusts can be divided into two main categories, 1) Bond UIT's, and 2) Equity UIT's. More equity UIT's currently exist than Bond UIT's of which the non-taxable income variety is greater. Equity UIT's are classified according to the exchange in which they specialize (pathtoinvesting.com), three of which are listed as follows:
*Standard and Poor's Index Depository receipts (SPDR)
*Dow Jones Index based equity investments (DIAMOND)
*NASDAQ index based equity investments (QUBES)
Additional UIT's invest in the shares companies within multiple exchanges and/or in the shares of utility companies that often pay considerable dividends and are perceived as having less volatility than other types of equity.
Bond UIT's invest in either tax-free bonds or taxable bonds using the funds provided by investors. Since some bonds such as treasury bonds can only be purchased in high denominations, the pooled funds allow investors to indirectly purchase treasury bonds via the UIT. These bond UIT's can be identified and purchased directly through an investment company.
There are both pros and cons to unit investment trusts. Bond UIT's tend to be lower risk, however the yield may also be lower than some higher risk ETF's or mutual funds. Since UIT's are highly regulated and insured these investments can be a safer way to invest than mutual funds and make possible diversification in bonds that may otherwise be unobtainable due to minimum purchase requirements. Some of the pros and cons associated with UIT's are listed below:
PROS of UIT's:
*Fixed monthly income
*Potential for less risk
*Diversification through managed investment pool
*Highly regulated via the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933
*May provide tax free income depending on the type of UIT
*Relatively low minimum investment i.e. low entry barrier
CONS of UIT's:
*Do not incorporate dividend reinvestment (DRIPS)
*Do not invest in commodities
*May not yield high double digit returns
*Have sales fees and operational fees
*Opportunity cost may outweigh duration yield
Unit investment trusts can be useful in diversifying and lowering risk in an investment strategy. These types of funds may be particularly useful for individuals seeking to broaden a Roth IRA with tax-free investments that provide regular and consistent income. Such being the case the steady accumulation of wealth toward retirement planning may be better facilitated and/or enhanced through the use of UIT's in retirement planning portfolios.
Additionally, since UIT's are often insured by their sponsors, the monthly income paid out by UIT's is subject to lower risk than corporations offering uninsured dividends based on profitability ex. Mortgage real estate investment trust (MREIT) This insurance, combined with diversification, and generally lower risk make UIT's a potentially good source of consistent income for a retirement plan or more stable income distribution plan. A portfolio consisting entirely of UIT's may benefit investors with large amounts of capital but may also entail lower overall investment yield.
Unit investments trusts can be purchased through investment companies and brokers who deal in UIT's. UIT's are not always traded via public exchanges and therefore may require the services of fixed income financial planner or specialist. UIT's invest in equities and bonds some of which aim for beta coefficients similar to exchange indexes such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 etc. Specific advantages and disadvantages can be associated with unit investment trusts and these features can be considered in terms of an individual's investment, financial planning and retirement goals through an investment strategy. Tracking UIT's depends on 1) the type of fund it is 2) the financial instruments the UIT invests in and 3) the dealers and sponsors who facilitate the fund. It is generally more expedient to track an ETF UIT than a bond UIT.

Toys is a gift to capture digimon of all types and it might be in both 1 nd 2. I worked it out. When searching in a domain and you see a enemy digimon coming towards you. Press the square b*tton then choose the correct gift thats the same type as the digimon you want to capture. A heart will appear on top of the enemy digimon's head but make sure to keep shooting gifts at it so the heart gets bigger. Then attack the enemy digimon but defeat the digimon you want to capture last. *

"He walked on the water…to Jesus." Mt 14:29 NKJV
The disciples were out fishing one night when a huge storm struck. About 3:00 a.m. they were terrified by a figure approaching them on the water. "Immediately Jesus spoke…'Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid'…Peter answered…'Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You'…So He said, 'Come.' And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water…to Jesus" (vv. 27-29 NKJV). This story teaches us:
(1) If the Lord doesn't call you to do it, don't! There's a story about a man standing at the gates of heaven. Peter says, "Name one great deed you've done." The man replies, "Well, a gang of bikers was threatening a woman so I smacked them, kicked over their bikes and ripped out their nose rings." Impressed, Peter asks, "When did this happen?" The man answers, "About thirty seconds ago!" To walk on water you must learn to discern between God's voice and your own impulses. (2) To experience miracles, you must get out of your comfort zone. Exchange places with Peter. The storm is raging and he's afraid. The boat's secure and comfortable—wouldn't you want to stay there? But you can't. God designed you to do more than simply avoid failure; He's calling you to step out in faith and accomplish things. You say, "What's my boat?" It's anything you put your faith in when life gets stormy, like a job or a relationship. Your boat is anything that stops you from getting out of your comfort zone. Leaving it is the scariest, but most rewarding step you'll ever take!

Mr Fothergill's new 4-litre format
Now that the sowing season has started, a leading seedsman is launching its best-selling seaweed-based plant tonic in 4-litre bottles.
Mr Fothergill's Seasol has been proved in studies to improve germination and root growth. Seeds can be soaked in Seasol before sowing or watering with it just after sowing, for vigorous, uniform plants.
Seasol is derived from a blend of brown kelp chosen to stimulate root development.
The tonic promotes healthy growth of plants, flowers and vegetables, enhances flowering and fruiting and increases resistance to heat, drought, frost, pests and diseases.
Beneficial micro-nutrients
It can be applied directly to soil or foliage, contains beneficial micro-nutrients and is also rich in trace elements.
Marketing manager Ian Cross said: "The great thing about Seasol is that because it is a natural plant tonic, you can use it regularly throughout all stages of growth, from seed to mature plant, unlike chemical fertilisers.
"The new 4-litre bottle will not only give our customers great value for money but as you can use Seasol on most areas of the garden, at any time of the year, it also won't run out as quickly."
The 1-litre Seasol pack is stocked in more than 650 retail outlets and the new 4-litre bottles cost £19.99, from www.mr-fothergills.co.uk.

Elmo is a popular figure with the little ones, so I was not suprised when I was asked to make a smash cake for a little boy turning 1. Elmo and Sesame Street was the theme of the party.
The cake was Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. I love carrot cake! It's moist and flavorful, and goes best with a slightly sweet cream cheese frosting. I made the cake into a mini tired cake using a 6in round, 4in round, and a small little mound of cake for the Elmo Face on the top. On one tier of the cake was a Sesame Street sign with the little boy's name on it. On the other tier was a Happy Birthday message. Primary colors were used for the borders on each tier.
To accompany this cake there were also Elmo Cupcakes. The cupcakes were Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream. On top were Elmo Cookies, which were Sugar Cookies dyed red and shaped and decorated to look like a little Elmo face. Very simple and cute!
This cake was great because the Elmo face was lifted off and used for the little one to smash into and eat. I also heard that the Carrot Cake was enjoyed by the adults as well!

Foliate or vegetal patterns seen in Islamic art originally derived from Byzantine artistic traditions, which by the Medieval period, Islamic artists had developed into a style fully their own now widely known as "arabesque" (a term coined in 19th century Europe). These graphic interpretations of nature are sometimes thought to symbolize paradise, but due to lack of written record, scholars often disagree on the subject. Derived from a 13th – 14th century Islamic textile fragment, the graphic leaf-like pattern was created through a process of block printing and resist dying on very fine cotton believed to be of Indian or Egyptian origin.

I must admit that I lost the original reference for the claim, but almost certain it was LifeHacker, so it is notable enough.
The claim is that 72-73 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 22-23 Celsius) is THE optimal temperature range for office productivity, with above 74 and below 71 measurably negatively impacting productivity.
Are there unambiguous and uncontested study results proving that there's a measurable (beyond statistical noise) effect?

Kedgeree, also known as khichuri, is an Indian dish that dates to the 14th century and originally consisted of rice, smoked haddock, legumes and vegetables. It was modified and adopted as a breakfast item in England during the mid-19th century. This version is inspired from a recipe published in House and Garden in 1996. Although it calls for salmon, you can substitute flaked haddock or tuna.
3 cups hot cooked basmati rice
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil or melted butter
16-ounce can pink salmon, drained and flaked
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Dash cayenne
Chopped fresh parsley
Gently fold the cooked rice and chopped eggs together in a large bowl. Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet. Sauté the rice mixture until heated through and most of the oil is absorbed. Add the salmon and stir to combine. Stir in the salt and spices. When the mixture is heated through, transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped parsley.

Experts from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Coast Guard walked the perimeter of the Midway Islands yesterday and found no pollution or soiled animals following a small oil spill, the Coast Guard said.
"Diesel is a very thin oil. What was spilled quickly burned away," said Coast Guard spokesman Lt. John Titchen, adding that there were no signs of pollution in the water.
Officials originally estimated that about 2,600 gallons of fuel spilled from the Japanese long-line fishing vessel Kotobuki Maru No. 38 on Thursday evening while the ship was attempting to deliver an injured crew member to Midway Atoll.
The owner of the vessel, Kabushiki Kaisha Fujiei Shoten, has hired ECM Maritime Services, a subsidiary of Pacific Environmental Company, to assist with the cleanup as required by federal law, Titchen said.
A containment boom was placed around the vessel at the pier at Midway Harbor while crews begin repairs to the hull. Divers yesterday found the hull sustained three 3-inch holes after apparently hitting an obstruction near the entrance to the channel, a Coast Guard news release said.
The amount of fuel remaining in the vessel was undetermined and the cause of the leak was still under investigation.
"That's our main order of business right now, that while they're making repairs to the boat that there's no potential threat to the environment," Titchen said.
The vessel's owners are working with the Fish and Wildlife Service and Coast Guard to determine when the vessel will be safe to depart from Midway.
The spill occurred in the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, where endangered Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles and the world's largest nesting population of Laysan and black-footed albatrosses live.

2d Missouri City Outlaws Cyberharassment
FLORISSANT, Mo. – The City Council on Monday made Internet harassment a crime – the second St. Louis suburb to pass such a law after a 13-year-old girl hung herself after being cyber-bullied. The law punishes violators with up to six months in jail and fines.
The law is similar to one passed last week in Dardenne Prairie, where the teen-age girl killed herself after receiving hurtful messages on MySpace.com from a person she thought was a boy.
The boy turned out to be a fictional account, allegedly set up by neighbors who claimed they were trying to see what the girl was saying online about their daughter. The case, which created national outrage, spurred the Florissant City Council to pass the ordinance in hopes it will encourage passage of state and national laws.
Florissant is 18 miles north of St. Louis; Dardenne Prairie is 35 miles west of St. Louis.

Mexico City Reels from 7.1 Earthquake
Following an eight point oh earthquake off Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico twelve days ago, a seven point one magnitude earthquake killed over a hundred people in Mexico City and surrounding states earlier this morning. The powerful earthquake toppled buildings, damaged streets and knocked out electricity for millions in Mexico. Some reports say that at least one hundred and sixteen people died mostly from Puebla, Morelos and Mexico City. Twenty-seven buildings collapsed in the capital. Videos online show rescue workers in hard hats and civilians in a Mexico City neighborhood combing through two-storey high piles of rubble in search of survivors. Some carried away buckets full of debris. All public and private schools in Mexico City are cancelled until further notice from the Ministry of Education. The airport in the capital city is also closed pending the assessment of infrastructure. The deadly earthquake hit just a few hours after many people took part in drills and commemorative events on the anniversary of a devastating earthquake that killed thousands in Mexico City, more than three decades ago.

Press Release
Open Letter to Financial Secretary, Hong Kong SAR Government Raising Tobacco Tax Substantially to Lower Smoking Prevalence
2015.12.28To reduce the smoking prevalence and prevent youth from taking up the habit, Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health ("COSH") sent an open letter to the Financial Secretary to reiterate the effectiveness and importance of raising tobacco tax in reducing tobacco use. Mr Antonio KWONG, Chairman of COSH said, "COSH strongly advises the Government to substantially raise tobacco tax by 100% in FY2016-2017 to lower the smoking prevalence in Hong Kong to single digit as soon as possible".
Raising tobacco tax is recognized as the single most effective measure to reduce tobacco use and encourage smoking cessation. According to the Tobacco Control Policy-related Survey 2015 conducted by COSH, 77.2% of the respondents supported an increase in tobacco tax annually. Besides, the respondents commented that the cigarette retails price should be increased to HK$119 per pack on average (current retail price is around HK$55) to effectively motivate smokers to quit smoking. The Government should formulate a proactive and long-term policy on raising tobacco tax to maintain the price effect on smoking cessation. A multi-pronged approach in tobacco control, including tobacco tax, education and publicity, legislations, enhanced smoking cessation services and enforcement, etc. should be adopted to motivate smokers to quit and protect people from the hazards of smoking.

Pattabhiraman Giri (Indrajith Sukumaran) is a Malayali Brahmin living in North India. He is ordered to leave his house by Mahashay Bhagavan (Murali Gopy), a godman for building his ashram and claiming the surroundings for a land mafia. The house was built by followers of Adi Shankara, ancestors of Giri by institution of a Chola king in North India. The house has a well, which has water throughout the year used by all of the villagers. Giri lives with his wife, Amba (Ananya) and daughter Arya (Nakshathra Indrajith) teaching sanskrits to aspirants. He is well respected as a pandit.
Giri gets warned by an unknown middle aged man (Prithviraj Sukumaran) about the consequences he will have to face by going against the God man. However, he chooses to fight. He is asked to look upwards to the fire on the hill if he needs help. The Godman plays dirty and poisons Giri's daughter and she dies. Giri's own friends and supporters goes against him and joins the Godman fooled by his fake miracles.
Mahashay Bhagavan and his followers visits Giri at night asking him to leave. He says whomsoever have the guts to kill a Brahmin can take over his land. After many attempts the Godman and troops fails and leaves. Giri and his house are attacked by men with guns. However, they are unable to bring any damage to the house. The Godman makes the attack is by maoists and thus Giri is forbidden from entering his house. He goes up to the hill in search of the unknown man but doesn't find him. He comes to know through Jameel (Shine Tom Chacko) that the unknown man is Azlan Muhammed, a muslim man who lived in Mumbai.
Muhammed Azlan is well respected man, who attacks and kills all kind of violence in his area. He is married to a Hindu woman, Parineeti Adve (Mrudula Sathe) and used to live happily fighting for his people. Azlan's sister, Jameela (Manasa Radhakrishnan) was raped by a rowdy with a rich father, Khan Sahib. The rowdy whips his sister and Jameel, her lover in the streets and Azlan kills him. A money greed madman Ramnath Gujjan promises to kill Azlan and bring his head. With blessings from his Babaji who is Mahashay Bhagavan, Gujjan attacks Azlan and his people at night. His sister, wife and daughter are killed by taking bullets for Azlan. However, Azlan survives his wounds because his heart is in the other side(dextrocardia) alongside Jameel, and Gujjan shoots in the wrong side. Azlan leaves the land listening to a wise man's advice without knowing where he is going. The rowdy's father kills himself after he leaves. When Azlan lay dehydrated and unconscious in the desert of an unknown land, a bunch of yogis who seek no manly pleasures saves him. His pilgrimage with the yogis to different places showed him real values of life and wisdom. He walked out as a living weapon and stayed to fulfil his life purpose of dharma.
A mother runs into the Ashram of Mahashay Bhagvan with the dead body of her daughter asking if he can bring her back to life. She had fed her child with whatever the Godman had given her ignoring doctor's warnings. Somehow Giri wakes the child and the people starts to believe in him. People starts to ask him for blessings and as such causing distress to the Godman as he starts to lose his power. The Godman's troops attacks Giri and Azlan makes an entrance. Giri fights back and wins them over single handedly. He is astonished by his own powers and changes in him. Mahashay secretly tries to meet Azlan at night. He is scared by the visions of Vasundara Devi (Padmapriya Janakiraman), whom he killed in greed of money and power.
The Godman decides to show his power in front of people because of the push from his investors. He asks Giri to show his powers and do whatever he is doing to prove his power. However, he gets a vision of Azlan who makes him weak and unable to perform his own fake magic. He burns himself unable to find his remote in the stampede paying for his own sins. Azlan and Giri has had recurrent dreams about an ancient war. It seems to be that in their previous lives they were friends who helped each other at war.

Critical responseEdit
The film received mixed reviews. Sanjith Sidhardhan of The Times of India rated the movie (3.5/5) and wrote: "Murali delivers with an intense script packed with potent dialogues, not just in Malayalam but in Hindi and Sanskrit too. The initial half wraps a relevant take on the current religiopolitical scenario of the country as an entertainer set in a hamlet, inhabited by people of various sects, religions, and languages."[10] In his review for manoramaonline.com, G. Ragesh said "Be it the theme or the setting, Sukumaran-brothers starring Tiyaan is an attempt to explore lesser known terrains. The film, set in a sleepy and parched village in the Hindi heartland, addresses burning issues such as sale of divinity and associated crimes, and tries to go deeper in search of the soul of Indian spirituality".[11] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express rated the movie (2.5/5) and wrote: Unless you have a stomach for a drama told in a socio-political thriller format that unfolds with backstories in an extend of nearly 2 hours 50 minutes, you may not find Tiyaan entertaining.[12] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "Tiyaan comes off like AR Murugadoss meets your average Telugu star vehicle, high-concept mumbo-jumbo fused with lowbrow pleasures. And that is valid reason for a film's being. But the writing is a disaster."[13]

Getting a home mortgage is not always an easy process. You need to know something before you set foot in the bank. Use the great information in this article to get you headed in the proper direction.
If you're thinking of estimating your monthly payments for mortgage, you need to see about getting yourself pre-approved for loans. Shop around a bit so you can get a good idea of your eligibility. Once you find out this information, you can easily calculate monthly payments.
A solid work history is helpful. Many lenders need a history of steady work for two years for approving a loan. Switching jobs a lot can result in your loan being denied. Never quit your job when you apply for a loan.
Refrain from spending excessively while you wait for your pre-approved mortgage to close. Lenders tend to run another credit check before closing, and they may issue a denial if extra activity is noticed. Make large purchases after the mortgage is signed and final.
Create a financial plan and make sure that your potential mortgage is not more than 30% total of your income. Otherwise, you run the risk of putting yourself into a financially devastating situation. Making sure your mortgage payments are feasible is a great way to stay on budget.
Make sure to see if a property has decreased in value before seeking a new loan. The bank may hold a different view of what your home is worth than you do, and you need to know if that is the case.
Understand how interest rates will affect you. Getting a loan isn't dependent on what the interest rate is, but you will figure out how much you're spending because of it. Understanding interest rates will help you understand the total financing costs. If you aren't paying attention, you could pay more than you anticipated.
If your mortgage is causing you to struggle, then find assistance. There are a lot of credit counselors out there. Make sure you pick a reputable one. There are different counseling agencies that can help. Such counselors can provide no-charge foreclosure prevention help. Call your local HUD office or visit them online.
Try lowering your balance on different accounts instead of having a few accounts with an outstanding balance. Try to keep your balances below 50 percent of your credit limit. If possible, a balance of under 30 percent is preferred.
Pay down debt prior to buying a home. The responsibility of making your mortgage payments is a big one, and you need to be ready. Having minimal debt will make it that much easier to do just that.
Once you have taken out your mortgage, consider paying extra every month to go towards the principle. This will help you pay it off quicker. Paying an extra $100 every month will go towards the principal, and that allows you to pay down the loan much faster.
A mortgage broker can be a good alternative if you are finding it hard to get a mortgage loan from a credit union or regular bank. In many cases, brokers can identify mortgages that suit your needs more easily than other lenders. They work with many lenders and can guide you in making the best choice.
Don't get home mortgages that carry an interest rate that's variable. The issue with those mortgages is that changes in the market can affect your interest rate; you could see your payment double in just a short time. This can result in increased payments over time.
Make sure your credit report is cleaned up. Good credit is a must. They need to have reassurance that you are actually going to repay your debt. Tidy up your credit before you apply.
The interest rate on your loan is important, however it's not the only thing to consider. There are many fees involved, and they can vary from lender to lender. Know about closing costs, different types of loans and what interest rates are. It pays to solicit quotes from multiple lenders before deciding.
If your credit rating is low, you need to take extra steps in order to secure a loan. Keep records of your payments for one year, at least. It is important that you can prove you pay your bills regularly.
Do not hesitate to wait for a more advantageous loan offer. You can find a lot of great options during certain months or certain times of the year. You could also hold out if you know of some new government rules that may be taking effect in the near future that could be beneficial to you. Always know that sometimes it pays to be patient.
Never be dishonest with your lender. In terms of securing a home loan, honesty is essential. Don't say you make more than you do. You might end up deeply in debt and unable to pay off your mortgage. At the moment it might seem like a great idea, but it will have a negative long-term impact.
Talk to the BBB before making your final decision. There are many predators out there that could try tricking you into higher costs, fees, and interest rates. Avoid brokers asking for excessive points and high fees.
Try not to sign up for any loans that have prepayment penalties. If you have a good credit score, you will not even need to sign away prepayment penalties. Pre-payment saves you money in interest during the life of your loan, so you do not want to sign this option away. It's not what you should give up without a fight.
Do not place any large amounts of untraceable money into your bank account. Lenders who see such deposits must make inquiries to guard against illegal laundering. Untraceable money may have been laundered. This could cause denial of your loan and problems with the police.
Knowing all there is to know about home mortgages requires a lot of knowledge. Thankfully, the information here is valuable and will help make you aware of what you need to know. When you are ready to take out a loan for your home, keep these tips in mind and they can help you make the best decisions.

If demolished and developed, 38, Oxley Road could transform into a swanky condominium with a trophy address - one its well-heeled residents could boast about.
But if it is kept, the residence of Singapore's first prime minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, will possess a value that goes beyond mere monetary concerns or the gratification of a select few, go other arguments.
The future of the two-storey bungalow has been the subject of a very public feud among Mr Lee's three children over the last two weeks.
In one camp are Dr Lee Wei Ling and Mr Lee Hsien Yang, who want the Government to commit to tearing down the house, according to their father's last wishes.
In the other is their brother, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who has argued that while his father wanted the house torn down, he also left open the possibility of preserving its history while keeping the public out of private areas within.
Government ministers have also come out several times to explain that the current government cannot bind a future one to a decision made today. No action needs to be taken until Dr Lee moves out of the house, which could be about 20 to 30 years down the road, they argue.
For now, the siblings are at an impasse, though tomorrow's Parliament sitting, in which PM Lee will address several issues, including the allegations of abuse of power his siblings have levelled against him, may well change things. The Sunday Times weighs the various options.
At the heart of the matter is whether the house should be demolished. And if it is, should it be redeveloped or used as the site of an appropriate memorial park?
In an interview for the book Hard Truths To Keep Singapore Going, published in 2011, the late Mr Lee said he wanted the house gone after he died.
He said that the ageing house would be too costly to maintain, that left as a historical relic it would soon be in a shambles, and that the land value would go up once the 350m strip was allowed to be rezoned or have its plot ratio increased.
In online forums, many have accused the younger Lee sibling, Mr Lee Hsien Yang - who bought the house from his brother, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, in 2015 at market value - of harbouring dreams to sell off the land to reap hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr Lee Hsien Yang staunchly denied such charges yesterday.
That there has been a resurgent market in the private property sector of late has only helped stoke such flames. There have been four collective sales this year - One Tree Hill Gardens, Goh & Goh Building and the former HUDC estates Rio Casa and Eunosville. Rio Casa in Hougang sold last month for $575 million. Eunosville in Sims Avenue went for $765 million in a deal finalised last month. Both were done above the owners' asking prices.
This could happen to 38, Oxley Road if the house is demolished to make way for redevelopment, one of several options Senior Minister of State for Finance and Law Indranee Rajah listed in a Facebook post on Monday.
Currently, the 1,120.5 sq m plot of freehold land on which the house sits - about the size of 12 four-room HDB flats - is worth about $24 million, according to media reports that take into consideration the per sq ft price of homes in the area.
But if the authorities allow the land to be rezoned or have its plot ratio increased - a possibility, since the previous concerns about Mr Lee's security, such as floor height, ceased when he died in 2015 - the returns would far outweigh the hefty price tag.
National monument: Factors to consider
The designation and protection of national monuments is administered by the National Heritage Board (NHB), which is guided by the Preservation of Monuments Act.
The legislation considers a wide range of factors including historical, cultural, archaeological, aesthetic and symbolic factors, as well as national significance.
The decision to gazette a building as a formal "national monument" is made with input from an advisory board of public- and private-sector members set up by NHB's Preservation of Sites and Monuments division, as well as from other government agencies and from discussions with the property owner.
If gazetted, a private residence is subject to compulsory acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act by the Government at market value within one year of the preservation order.
Several residential-type buildings have been gazetted as national monuments, such as Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, Istana Kampong Glam and the former house of the late Teochew businessman Tan Yeok Nee, although none of those was a residence at the time of the gazetting.
A commercial property gazetted as a national monument - such as Raffles Hotel - need not be acquired by the Government. The NHB issues a set of preservation guidelines for the monument, which the owner has to follow.

The tallest buildings in Oxley Road are two stacks of 12-storey apartments, called Orchard Court, at 19 and 27, Oxley Road.
If 38, Oxley Road can be rebuilt to become a condominium of at least 12 storeys and sold at $2,250 per sq ft - property experts cited $2,000 to $2,500 per sq ft as a reasonable price - developers are looking at a piece of land that could fetch about $140 million, after deducting construction and other costs.
And it would not be just this house that is affected. Neighbouring parcels of land may also follow suit, increasing the total land value.
"The spillover is significant. Oxley Road would be transformed," says National University of Singapore real estate associate professor Sing Tien Foo.
One person hoping for a collective sale is retired provision store owner K.S. Tham, 85, who lives in a three-bedroom apartment in the four-storey Oxley Mansion at 28, Oxley Road just down the street.
He was offered $2 million for his 1,000 sq ft apartment several years ago - a price he rejected as he believed it would be worth "at least 25 per cent more" if land use can be intensified.
Prof Sing adds: "The opportunity cost would be quite high not to allow more intense land development - if you're looking at it from a purely economic point of view."
He notes: "It's a low-density stretch of land in the city centre, and it's only natural to want to maximise land use."
But there is also historical value to the place whose basement was the birthplace of the People's Action Party.
"It's a matter of scarcity: 38, Oxley Road is one of a few places in Singapore with history in its walls, whereas there is a sufficient supply of homes at the moment," Prof Sing says.
"If we are at a point in time when we needed more apartments to sustain population growth, the trade-off to demolish No. 38 for more homes may be worth it.
"But there is no urgency to tear it down right now," he adds.
Another suggestion offered by Ms Indranee was to preserve the house by designating it a national monument subject to stringent guidelines from the National Heritage Board. Demolition and redevelopment would be definite nos.
There are cases for 38, Oxley Road's preservation that go beyond its political history.
Assistant Professor Yeo Kang Shua, an architectural historian at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, says: "The history of the house during Lee Kuan Yew's occupation is no doubt an important consideration.
"But we must also consider factors such as its history before Lee Kuan Yew's occupancy and the urban, social and economic contexts during the time of its construction."
The area where the house stands was named after a British surgeon, Thomas Oxley, who owned a nutmeg plantation there in the late 19th century.
The original owner of 38, Oxley Road, a Jewish merchant, had built house numbers 38 and 40 as a matching pair in the late 19th century. No. 40 has already been torn down and redeveloped.
The house is typical of bungalows of the time. It features low stilts that would typically leave the ground level open for ventilation to prevent damp and to rear livestock, but No. 38 has a "basement" room added by the original owner.
Architectural historians say not many houses like this remain, and it is rare to have an example like 38, Oxley Road whose interior has remained largely unmodified from its original state.
Experts also say it is premature to evaluate whether preserving only the "basement", as suggested in Ms Indranee's Facebook post, is a valid option from the perspective of heritage, as holistic evaluation first needs to be done for any structures being considered for preservation or conservation.
Indeed, it appears that the Government is seriously considering a middle ground: neither one that will leave 38, Oxley Road simply relegated to the history books , nor the house in its original form, open to public gawking.
As it stands, cars inevitably slow down as they drive past the house. The Sunday Times saw a group of 15 Indonesian tourists walking towards Orchard Road who stood opposite the house for a minute or two to attempt to catch a glimpse of its interior despite its intimidating gates and trees. Mr Lee is so intrinsically tied to modern Singapore that in death, his house continues to have some sort of pull.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said last week that a ministerial committee he chairs to look into options for the house is considering demolishing the house, but keeping the basement dining room where many historical meetings took place, with an appropriate heritage centre attached.
Another idea is to have a memorial park built over the demolished house, an option Mr Lee Hsien Yang claimed to have suggested to Mr Teo.
Other Singaporeans have their own thoughts on how to treat 38, Oxley Road. Ms G. Uma Devi, managing director of local heritage consultancy Red Arrow Consulting, said people should look beyond the building and see the bigger picture.
"The whole nation - its transport, housing, education system - is a testament to the contributions of Lee Kuan Yew and his team. That's the thing that will outlast us and that's what we should take pride in.
"If we want to keep the building, we have to have constructive ideas on what to do with it," she adds.
For example, she asks whether there are significant stories that can be told within the house, or whether Mr Lee Kuan Yew might have had a favourite walking route in the neighbourhood.
"If we want to see his favourite items, we can always put them in places like the National Museum... We have to figure what it is about the house we are trying to hold on to."
She says that if the building is demolished, the site could be marked with a plaque to help future generations remember how the country's leaders tackled challenges in the past.
Plaques have already been used in Singapore to mark significant places and events such as the site of the National Theatre and of World War II battles.
Mr Wan Meng Hao, 47, a former executive secretary of the former Preservation of Monuments Board, cites the ubiquitous circular blue plaques attached to buildings in London, which state who lived in a particular place, with a brief explanation about their contributions to society. This could be done even if the original building is no longer standing, he adds.
These are but some of the options for the house. Will tomorrow's Parliament sitting shed any light on which path the Government will most likely choose? Some would say that it is unlikely it will tie itself down to a decision for now.

Paul Hembery has clarified that Sebastian Vettel's crash during testing last week was not as a result of the new specification tyres.
Vettel was fortunate to escape with only bruising following his collision with the barrier at Fiorano, which resulted in the test being halted. He was providing Pirelli with a sitrep on their 2017 wet tyres when the accident happened, but Hembery is adamant that it was caused by something other than the rubber and that no weakness has been uncovered.
The new compounds have been designed to withstand cornering speeds 40kph greater than last season and 20% more downforce. They will come into play alongside the new regulations being introduced this year.
Hembery suggested during an interview with German broadcaster RTL that the unusual climate may have contributed to the incident.
"It was very cold on that day," he said. "It was extremely abnormal conditions that made testing very difficult and delicate.
"It was only 4 degrees, which is unusual. To get the tyres to work in those temperatures is the problem. The biggest challenge for us is not having seen the new cars. We'll probably only see if our data corresponds to reality on Saturday night in Melbourne."
Mario Isola, Pirelli motorsport director, also informed the broadcaster that they had manufactured a range of back-up tyres to guard against any discrepancies should the simulated data used to model the tyres prove inaccurate in reality.
"Some elements are difficult to predict, so we have prepared five reserve compounds that can be used if the real track data does not coincide with what we simulated," he said.

Lights off
Plans to switch off the lights between midnight and 5am on the M1 junction 10 at Luton and junction 13 at Milton Keynes has motoring groups scrambling to voice their concern.
It's part of the Department of Transport's plan to contribute towards the Coalition government's austerity measure programme.
In fact, the idea to do this came from the great British public itself, as it was one of the first ideas suggested after the election when the government asked for money-saving ideas.
The decision to turn off the lights on a lightly-used motorway stretch may appear less conroversial than the choice of this particular 15-mile stretch, which is set to be turned into a managed motorway with variable speed limits.
'We think there will be a number of operational issues,' said Andrew Howard, head of road safety at the AA.
'Where you can and can't be is defined by signals and without lights there is a greater chance that people will make a mistake.'
Road safety charity Brake also voiced concern. 'Although there are fewer crashes on our motorways per mile travelled due to the way these roads are engineered, when crashes do happen on these roads they are much more likely to involve multiple deaths and serious injuries because of the high speeds involved,' a spokesperson said.
'Road casualties are not only catastrophic for the families involved, but a huge economic burden, so if there is a safety implication of turning lights off it could turn out to be a false economy as well as a desperately inhumane experiment.'
