I made this today and it was great! First off, mine looked nothing like any of the pictures posted here...my fault! I used 5 granny apples (too many) didn't drain it long enough (too runny) and the pie shell wasn't nearly large enough. My crumbs came out as melted butter (kitchen too warm). Other than that, it cooked up with just a little jiggle in the middle but it was killer!! Can't wait to make it the proper way next time LOL Thanks Leslie for a yummy pie recipe!
Great recipe!!! I tweaked it a bit, I peeled, cored, sliced and baked the apples with some water and cinnamon instead of boiling since boiling would cook off the nutrients. So since I didn't drain the water off I doubled the regular flour to 4 tbs and added 2 tbs whole wheat flour. Now since everyone had issues with the topping I did my own. 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 2tbs butter and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I also made a icing to go on top of the crumb topping.
This turned out great. My mother was in heaven!! Last time I made it I did NOT boil the apples, it wasn't as good. I could have maybe boiled them another 1 or 2 minutes, but my family likes their apples a little crunchy in their pies (I don't). The texture is a wonderful creaminess, and lovely. The REAL vanilla really set off the apple perfectly! OH, I also cut the sugar down to only 1/2 cup, because last time I used what the recipe called for and it was too sweet. My only complaint was that my topping wasn't like a struesel like I expect. I will try cutting the butter down for the top next time. I used a shortbread crust: 1 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup shortening Mix dry, cut in butter and shortening, press into pan.

Why don't we have people who know what to do in charge of seeing that we have plenty of water! This is not a new situation -- it's been a problem for Southern California forever, and the solution is very clear if you want to populate what was once a desert.

How We Make AlliOSNews Work
Editors Note: Clinton's comments are in Black while Tricia's comments are in Red
Over the course of the past year there has been two common questions that have come up around this site. There's been plenty of others, but these seem to be the top two:
1. How do you & Tricia coordinate your work on the site?
2. Are you & Tricia married?
So let's deal with the second one first. No, we are not married. Well technically we are both married but not to each other. We have, to the best of our collective recollection never been married. In fact Clinton has been married to someone other than Tricia for 25+ years while Tricia has been married to someone other than Clinton for 7 years. We both have kids, not together, (Clinton's kids could actually have their own TechTot age kids) and in fact our respective spouses are friends with each other. So… no.
What we do have in common is a passion for sharing our experiences and trying to help you the readers of this blog. Tricia is an award winning writer and in fact has her first children's book coming out this September. You can read about her daily antics with her boys at Stream Of The Conscious. Clinton on the other hand is not award winning and generally brings the high quality of language Tricia brings to the site down to that of a potty-humoured 12 year old.
Everyone has a gift.
(Tangent: I am also quite well-versed in potty talk. TechTots are 4 and potty training was sent from Satan.)
That leads to answering the first most common question of how we make AlliOSNews work. To be fair, it is tricky sometimes. We
both have a busy schedule with our own families and work (yes, as a matter of fact, we DO work for the same company in our "day job." I write stuff there too.). Ultimately it leads to a lot of time communicating and we do that through a variety of tools because visiting 1:1 in person just isn't really an option. Clinton lives in England. Tricia lives in California. (Because we have better weather) That is roughly 5,360 miles and 8 timezones. In the past two years we have seen each other in person a total of 9 days. Nine. And what did we do when we caught up, like first thing? Go get coffee and talk Apple stuff of course!
(Damn skippy, that's really my laptop. And for those wondering why Snow is wearing glasses – it's because I wear glasses, so they obviously make her cooler.)
Communication for us is key in making sure we coordinate posts, particularly the TechMomTuesday posts. To do this we leverage Messages heavily. Both of us are Mac, iPhone and iPad users so getting Messages no matter where we are or which device is a huge, big deal for us. Because of the timezone differences, it is usually the beginning of the day for Clinton & the end of the day for Tricia when we do catch up on Messages or vice versa. For us, Messages is the quickest way for us to discuss story ideas, news or things we've seen Apple related and of course discuss our families and drink of the day. Clinton likes Martini's for those interested. Tricia, she's a whiskey girl.
Messages is probably the most crucial component of our communication as the majority of iOS discussion takes place not in set meetings, but in off-the-cuff snark or wonderment at "shiny object" moments during our days. You may have noticed this by the subtle series of conversation screenshots sprinkled throughout posts.

Don't hormones and antibiotics sound delicious? Yeah, we don't think so either. That's why we don't accept just any menu item at Rev Burger.
Take our burgers, for example. Since our beef comes from Angus cattle that have been raised in a stress-free open pasture, they are fed only 100% natural grass with no GMO's. There's not a steroid or growth stimulant in the bunch. All cows raised locally.
Yes, even fry-less fries. You won't find fryers at Rev Burger. That's because we have a very special oven that bakes our fries and chicken tenders to a delicious and healthy crisp. Same great taste as a fryer, but much healthier, half the calories.
How about our hot dogs? You'll be glad to know they're all-natural, all-beef without added fillers, nitrates or nitrites and fed a vegetarian grain diet. So beyond the natural sea salt and celery salt, you won't find the chemicals and preservatives you've come to expect from other hot dogs.
Our all natural chicken is no exception. It is all white breast meat and always free of hormones and antibiotics with no artificial ingredients. Chickens are free range and certified Green Seal and Humane.
You see, burgers free of additives, hot dogs born from a vegetarian grain fed diet, hormone and antibiotic free chicken, and fry-less fries and gluten free chicken tenders aren't just healthier. They taste a whole lot better too.
That's common sense – and it's always on our menu.

Re: I have replaced an old Wanadoo WiFi Router with a new Netgear one. The Location feature on Maps etc on my iPad2 works fine on the Wanadoo Router, but does not work on the Netgear although I do seem to be able to connect to the Internet! Help please! in response to Sandy1983
If you have the WiFi-only iPad your location is determined by nearby WiFi router locations. This is done by using a location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The database is built and updated by other GPS-enabled devices actually seeing your router and then adding/updating the router location in the database.
Bottom line: your Wanadoo router is in the Apple location database but your new Netgear router hasn't been seen yet and added to the database. Ther isn't any problem with your Netgear router or your iPad.

Perched on the ocean, in the heart of Long Beach, Washington, the Adrift Hotel is a modern and unique hotel with an emphasis on value, sustainability and of course, dog friendliness. Read more here…
Washington's Pawsitive Alliance and the Dugan Foundation are excited to be collaborating on the new "Why Not Me?" campaign to help long-term homeless pets. The "Why Not Me?" campaign's goal is to bring more attention to dogs and cats in Washington who have been homeless for months, some even years, to help them find their forever homes.
Shelby, pictured here, is one of the "Why Not Me?" pets who is searching for her forever home. Shelby is an adorable Dalmatian blend who has been at Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) for nearly a year!
Shelby was found in an abandoned home and was terribly sick, but thanks to the care she has received at the shelter she is now healthy. Shelby is described as the "Super Pup" from the staff at RASKC; she is great with kids, cats and other dogs and is ready to make a lucky family complete. Anyone interested in adopting Shelby should contact RASKC at 206.296.0100.
Pawsitive Alliance and the Dugan Foundation work closely with shelters and rescues across Washington. They know there are many amazing pets like Shelby who have been homeless for months, and this is why they created the "Why Not Me?" campaign. The program is assisted by photographers and writers who are volunteering their time and talent to help these wonderful pets and bring renewed attention to their unique beauty. The campaign has helped 25 long term homeless cats and dogs from eight shelter and rescue partners.
To see the current "Why Not Me?" pets, click here.
And, don't miss Pawsitive Alliance's fourth annual Statewide Shelter Open House Event, Saturday, October 3, 2015. The Shelter Open House event is hosted by Pawsitive Alliance to promote and highlight the work that Washington animal shelters are doing on behalf of animals in need. The goal is to help them grow their adopter, donor and volunteer bases and to raise awareness of the amazing animals in their care to help them find their forever homes and put an end to pet homelessness.Photos by Lara Grauer Photography
One of Doggy GOO's early Success Stories relates to a Retriever Guide Dog called Philbin.
Philbin was a Guide Dog for a Vision impaired young man named Odie.
It goes …
( Retrievers ) Philbin … ( as with approx. 25% of Retrievers ) was beginning to exhibit increasing signs of classic Enviro Allergy Symptoms; i.e. Scratching / Paw Chewing / Licking.
As is the case with All of our Itchy Dogs, these Symptoms were initially "Suppressed" by Steroids … which DO Stop the Itch …but are only Short Term … and leave the cumulative progression of the Allergy SnowBall "Intact" to only Roll Bigger ( Frequency ) and Faster ( Severity ) as Time Rolls On ..
Unfortunately, Steroids also have the Side-Effect of making the Animal PEE a Lot … which is strongly "Discouraged" for Vision Guide Dogs "In Guide Dog Harness."
Given this Unfortunate/UnAvoidable condition, Odie took Philbin to a DVM Dermatologist ( Think Allergist for our Dogs ) … who told him that Philbin had to Go Off Steroids / Itch Suppress Med's for 6- 8 Weeks to allow a Clean Allergy Skin Test to determine the Allergy Shot formulation.
The DVM Derm also said that once Philbin started Allergy Shots .. that it would take approx. 10 months before the Shots would "Begin" to show any signs of improvement and that ( Legally Blind ) Odie would have to continue giving Philbin Shots for over 2 Years to get Philbin's Allergy Symptoms suppressed.
Well … Odie finding himself and Philbin between an Itchy Rock and an UnDesirable Time Table Hard Place, as well as being a resourceful and Techno Young Man … set off looking for an alternative solution to their Problem, and they found and approached www.DoggyGOO.com. Upon hearing of Odie's and Philbin's Story, Healthy GOO/Doggy GOO consented to take Philbin into the GOO Fold and start Philbin on Doggy GOO …
Long Story Short …
After 2.5 – 3 mo. on 100% Natural Doggy GOO, Philbin was back to his old self and able to perform his Guide Duties w/o any Itch Suppress Pharma.
From then On, Philbin has been a Happy and Healthy Doggy GOO.
Per the video above, Odie's ( Self Motivated ) GOO Testimonial speaks to this Happy Event.
The unfortunate part of this Story is that Retrievers are not only used Extensively for Guide Dog Duties, but the Breed is also Genetically Pre-Disposed to a Higher Incidence of Allergy than other Breeds …
So …
a Retriever goes thru all the Time / $$ & TLC to prepare them for their Guide Dog Duties … only to have to be Retired" due to the Allergy SnowBall rolling out of Control … With the only thing that is done is Pharma Itch Suppress / Symptom Masking Steroids.

According to national statistics, animal control officials across the country see a 30-60% increase in lost pets each year between July 4th and 6th. In fact, July 5th is one of the busiest days of the year for shelters and sadly, only 14% of lost pets are returned to their owners. And worse, 30-60% of lost pets are euthanized because they cannot be properly identified and returned to their owners.
Here are four simple tips on how to keep your pets safe:
1) Stay inside. Try to keep your pet indoors at all times during holiday celebrations. Ideally, someone stays home with your pet. Also keep your dog leashed when going out for walks.
2) Make them feel safe. Comfort your pets with petting, hugging, talking to them in a soothing voice, providing a treat and staying nearby if possible. Make sure they can access their crate or "safe place." Also ask your veterinarian or local pet retailer about natural calming products, anxiety wraps and other products that can help.
3) Avoid the noise. Try to drown out the fireworks sounds as much as possible by closing windows, playing music or turning on the TV.
4) Act normal. Your pet takes cues from your and your family's actions. It will help if you go about your normal routine as much as possible, talking and playing with your pet as usual.

Warm weather always brings out opportunities to head out on the water with family and friends, even with your dog too! It may be tempting not to wear a life jacket while on the water – you want to get some sun, you think you'll get too hot, or you think you're a strong swimmer. And, you may assume since your dog can swim, they'll be safe during your boating trip.
According to recent U.S. Coast Guard statistics, drowning was the reported cause of death in three-fourths of all boating fatalities in 2014. Of those, 84 percent were reported as not wearing their life jackets. While there are no confirmed statistics on exactly how many pets drown each year, through informal surveys we do know pets are injured or drown because they don't wear life jackets when their owners take them boating.
Take a moment to watch and share the Wear It! campaign's video PSA "Love the Life!" It shares the experience of two families and a dog as they spend the day boating and fishing. They have fun on the water while choosing to always wear a life jacket and boat responsibly.
Share a photo with us why you love to take your dog boating with you by July 10, 2015 for a chance to win free life jackets for you and your pet. Don't forget the cute factor! You and your dog wearing life jackets is definitely 'social media-worthy'! Follow the campaign on Twitter and Instagram, and share your photo with the hashtag #wearit. Also, submit a written story before Labor Day for a chance to win our summer prize pack.
The National Safe Boating Council is a lead organization for the Wear It! campaign, produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Daddy Design was great to work with. They built a website that complimented our products' design and added a modern, clean look that gets consumers' attention. The site functions well for all users and is super easy to update. Thank you, Daddy Design for making our website as "gourmet" as our dough!
It has been great to work with Ryan and his team at Daddy Design. They are on point with their concepts, customer service and understanding of what we wanted to accomplish. They were receptive to our feedback and we were able to deliver a top notch product to our fans. I look forward to building on this foundation for future events.
– ESPN X Games
Daddy Design has been everything I would want in a vendor – always fast, executing on exactly what I need and anticipating issues I haven't thought of. I've used them for WordPress and MySpace design and highly recommend them.
We have been more than impressed by Daddy Design's hard work, design aesthetic and the final results of the make over of our ELLE MySpace page. Daddy Design has been flexible and easy to work with, helping us to achieve not only a sleek new design, but an informative web environment that drives considerable traffic back to our website. It has been a pleasure working with the team and I recommend them highly.
– ELLE Magazine
Daddy Design was our first and best option for our Myspace overhaul. We wanted to create a Myspace page that was both flexible to update that we could adapt to our marketing needs but also was interesting and informative for our Myspace members. Daddy Design has a great portfolio of recent work to gauge their abilities and they were very helpful in adapting to and expanding upon our design ideas with their own. They had quick turnaround on changes we needed made and were great with deadlines. We loved that they were excited to work with us and it was reflected in their work and our positive experience.
– Emergen-C
Daddy Design was timely, professional and very easy to work with! We're thrilled with the end result – especially because since the iFrame went live, we've been getting more traffic than ever to our Facebook page. Thanks Ryan and team, you guys are the best!
– Zip Realty
I came across the Daddy Design team about 4 years ago through a Google search looking for guidance on some Facebook widget customization. That small project quickly evolved to a relationship where Daddy Design has become an indispensable part of our agency's business, as our go-to partners on all areas related to identity, design and front-end web development. 1) No matter what circumstances they always deliver innovative design experience that is on time and on budget. 2) They are an awesome group of people whose style of business is refreshiningly honest, transparent, flexible and overall just a lot of fun. Its been a great pleasure working with them!
– ZVD Media
Daddy Design did an amazing job with the relaunch of our NBA on TNT page. The unique design and features exceeded our expectations and we've had great feedback from our online friends. We are excited at the prospect of using them again for our future online design needs.
– NBA on TNT
Daddy Design are consummate professionals who never back down from a challenge. We have thrown them curve ball after curve ball and they consistently knock the ball out of the park. They listen to our feedback while keeping the flame of creativity burning strong. I count them as a great asset and extension of my team and look forward to working with them for many years.
– American Pool Association
We had a complicated design for our WordPress blog and we needed it to exactly match our new website. Ryan ensured us he was up to the challenge and he definitely didn't disappoint. . .in fact, he exceeded all our expectations! Daddy Design did an incredible job and they were extremely receptive to our feedback and completed things on time, every time. We're unbelievably detail oriented when it comes to our brand and I can say that, based on their work ethic and design expertise, we would use Ryan and his team again for any web based project.
– Tuuci
(Via Yelp Reviews) Ryan and Hunter are the real deal. We had asked them to create a new website for a new line of pet food we were launching mauripetfood.com. They asked what we were trying to accomplish and advised us to make the website in a word press format for SEO. I have been told about SEO a hundred times and everyone is full of it. They explained how writing a blog strengthens your position on google so we did that as well. Only one month later if you google "Wet Kangaroo Dog Food" or " Wet Kangaroo Cat Food" we are on the bottom of the first page of google! You can try this yourself. Also we are selling a super premium pet food so the site had to look "high end" Consumers expect the best when they are feeding their dogs so they need to be assured the company selling them the food is not cutting corners.
– Lonnie S., Owner
Ryan and the team at DaddyDesign are great! They have designed 12 sites for me, each one better than the next. The work is always done quickly and the response time has never been more than 24 hours. Good designs at great prices – that's why I love Daddy.

Neither my husband nor I are weaklings but we were not able to comfortably use this machine. We consulted with an ardent rowing friend and he said that it was assembled correctly, so perhaps the machine is only meant for very strong people.

LG has announced its first curved sound bar, the LAS855M, which is designed to accompany the company's curved 4K and OLED televisions.
LG's OLED televisions produce amazing picture quality but demand serious cash. And while two grand for a 55-inch television is hardly "cheap," it's a lot less than last year. The 55EG9100 isn't 4K and does have a curve, but it's still pretty appealing.
The way you set up your home cinema equipment matters. Sharon Profis explains why on "You're Doing it All Wrong."
A smaller, always-on screen gives you shortcuts at the ready on this phone that's also a first with two front-facing camera lenses.
Pricing not available
Available in September, the new flat LG EF9500 series promises the same world-beating picture quality and HDR of its curved OLED brothers. Flat or curved, they both cost the same amount of money, and it's a lot.
Skip the LG LDG4315ST and its ineffective upgrades. Consider a simple gas model like the Kenmore 74343 or KitchenAid KGRS306BSS.
Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships.
The Korean appliance company announced the addition of ProBake Convection, a feature that LG says will improve multirack baking and speed up preheating.

At Flysurfer, every day is a kite day. The kites made by Flysurfer show that Germans can engineer more than just perfect cars. The passion Flysurfer products are made with allow riders to share their experiences and love for their sport. No matter where you kite, what style you use, how old you are, what conditions you're in, Flysurfer knows that once you get introduced to the sport, kiting will positively infect you.
The Viron kite is Flysurfer's introduction kite that is perfect to infect new kite boarders that maximizes safety, simplicity, ease of use and effortless relaunch. The Unity kite will provide mind blowing jumps in an unforgettable free ride session with a fast learning curve that earns it title by successfully replacing the Pulse2. The Flysurfer Psycho4 was designed for to be a freestyle machine as well with its Triple Depower System. Looking for a land and snowkite? The Outlaw is Flysurfer's offering that is the first high-depower land AND snow kite for boarders that proves that high-depower and open-cell kites can happily mingle. The Speed3 is the "ultimate flying machine", able to let boarders race, freestyle and cruise in all wind conditions.
Flysurfer Viron2 Deluxe Ready to Fly Package
With the Flysurfer Viron2 Deluxe, Flysurfer Kiteboarding gives you the simplest introduction to the world of kiting. The easy-to-use VIRON2 DLX is an incomparable all-in-one kite that ensures maximum safety and stability – plus it has the easiest water relaunch you'll ever experience. Here at Flysurfer your safety is our top priority – which is why our experienced Research and Development team have spent hundreds of hours creating a kite that's safe, secure and stunning.
When it comes to water relaunch, the VIRON2 DLX continues to be the benchmark against which other kites are measured. Its unique, super-effective auto-relaunch incorporates a bridle that's virtually impossible to tangle on the water. Even in low winds, simply let go of the control bar and the VIRON2 DLX will skim automatically across the water, remaining parked and ready at the edge of the window. Then, with just a simple steering input, the VIRON2 DLX flies on.
The VIRON2 DLX rounds off the Flysurfer product portfolio. It's the storm kite for accomplished riders – but it's also the kite that kite schools have been wishfully waiting for. This is a kite that makes it possible for children to get started in the sport, as well as being the solution for riders keen to challenge strong winds on the water. The VIRON2 DLX is equally at home on water, land and snow. All VIRON2 DLX sizes are exclusively made in deluxe kite-cloth, which has a noticeable effect on a kite's performance – deluxe kites fly in less wind, turn tighter and are more stable.
Flysurfer Viron2 Deluxe Features
There are three ways the VIRON2 DLX achieves maximum depower:
1. Reducing the angle of attack
2. Profile change
3. Reducing the projected area.
These 3 key elements mean the VIRON2 DLX lends its skills to a huge wind range and ideal handling.
The VIRON2 DLX went through long-term testing to ensure our high expectations of quality. We used the feedback this generated and reinforced all parts to make the product even more durable.
Developer Armin Harich has reworked the airfoil and construction on the kite, which has improved the overall flying performance. Now the VIRON2 DLX is even easier to control in strong, gusty winds.
Because of the optimised bridle, the VIRON2 DLX is more efficient and stands flatter, generating more power, speed and up-wind performance.
The VIRON2 DLX gives users the option to disconnect the bottom 7m of the flying line-set to create new and safer opportunities for teaching and flying in stronger winds.
The VIRON2 DLX 6.0 comes with the Infinity Light control bar, which allows automatic untwisting of the front lines as well as friction-free steering. The Infinity Light Bar is also now equipped with a light and slim clam-cleat.
The VIRON2 DLX has the easiest kite relaunch you'll ever experience. It doesn't matter if you're on land, water or snow, with a simple steering impulse, the VIRON2 DLX flies on.
The unique, patented and now even more robust Reefline Safety (which is similar to a 5th-line safety) of the VIRON2 DLX ensures maximum security and easy relaunches for everyone. After activating the Infinity quick release, the kite lands safely and easily without any rest-pull. It can be relaunched any time, even by beginners.
Should sand or water get into the kite, it will automatically be expelled from the kite by the "dirt&water" drainage system, which is integrated into the canopy of the VIRON2 DLX.

Flysurfer Peak2
The Flysurfer Kiteboarding R&D team always tries to give kitesports more variety. It was through allowing ourselves the room and opportunity to achieve truly innovative products that we created the first Single-Skin kite. For years, Reinhart Paelinck worked to achieve his dream to build the world's most versatile kite. Flysurfer had high expectations to improve this unique product even more – and we knew it could be achieved through the combined expert knowledge of our Paragliding and Foil-kite development team. Now, with the PEAK2, Reinhart and Flysurfer have made the next leap forward. The PEAK2 has unmatched low-end, enhanced stability and even more performance – but it still comes in a lighter and smaller package! We're proud that we were able to further improve this innovative Single-Skin kite product.
The PEAK2 is your personal lift to the summit of mountains. No pre-inflation or pumping is needed, so it's always ready to go for a session. Its unmatched low-end power will guide you to new locations, even in the slightest breeze, and thanks to its effective depower, you'll be safe and in control, even in stronger winds. The PEAK2 will soon become your go-to kite, the kite you want to use every day, so you won't miss out on that great session, even as a beginner. Because of its small packing size, and its touring bag/harness, you can literally take the PEAK2 anywhere you want. This combination will make it your ultimate toy either on snow, sand, grass or asphalt. It's your passport to pure freedom.
When it comes to safety, we do not compromise. The PEAK2 now has incredible stability in light breezes or gusty strong winds, so you always remain in charge, no matter what happens. After activating the Infinity 2.0 quick release on the Infinity Light control bar, the front-line safety (FLS) makes the PEAK2 flag-out downwind with no remaining pull. Whether you need to reverse launch, backstall landings, or simply drop the kite at the edge of the wind window for a short break, the PEAK2 does it all, giving you optimum control in every situation.
Choose your favourite size from the new PEAK2 line-up – 12.0m, 9.0m, 6.0m or 4.0m. Whichever you opt for, your PEAK2 will be delivered ready-to-fly and complete with your Infinity Light control bar and flying lines. It's ideally suited for backcountry touring, free-ride snowkiting, kite landboarding or buggying – even unhooked freestyle tricks are possible. When it comes to improving your skills, the PEAK2 also stands out from the crowd, making it the perfect choice for kite schools. And thanks to the easy controllability, it allows for pure fun in your kiting sessions, even for children. Once equipped with our kite and touring bag/harness, all you need to do is hook in the Infinity quick release on your Infinity Light control bar and prepare for launch. Whether you're on land or snow, only the sky is the limit with the new PEAK2 from Flysurfer!
Flysurfer Peak2 Features
Compared to its ram-air double-skin cousins in our line-up, the PEAK2 has no bottom sail, resulting in a huge reduction in weight and more performance per square metre. And thanks to the efficiency of the PEAK2's depower system, the power is controllable. When it comes to low-end and wind range, the PEAK2 definitely sets new standards.
Fun in 3-4 knots? The PEAK2 makes it possible! Even in extreme light winds, the kite provides incredible stability, usability and perfect control.
The super-small pack size of only 52x14x14cm (HxLxW) for the 6.0m ready-to-fly PEAK2 means it fits easily in any travel bag, saving you money on additional sports equipment charges. The minimalistic weight of the 6.0m r.t.f (1.94kg) is a huge advantage in comparison to common closed-cell, open-cell or LEI snow kites – which you'll definitely appreciate while hiking up mountains!
The new lightweight bar for the PEAK2 is robust with a more comfortable grip, a new adjuster (clamcleat) and the proven 2.0 quick-release system with easy untwisting function, so you can enjoy even better comfort while reaching the top of the world.
A proven front-line safety (FLS), the 2.0 quick-release and Infinity Light control bar gives you maximum security about your safety. If activated, the Infinity 2.0 quick release can be reassembled within seconds, so your PEAK2 is ready to fly again.
With the PEAK2 we remain true to the Flysurfer philosophy to make our products durable. As an additional service we also offer the Flysurfer 12-month free repair warranty.
No pre-filling or pumping is necessary, simply unpack the PEAK2 and you're ready to go in the blink of an eye. It really is the most user-friendly kite in kitesports history!
This optional extra is a light trekking backpack with an integrated harness in which you can put conventional hydration packs. The straps on the touring bag attach around your waist and thighs, while the chicken loop attaches via special metal loops. This saves the need to bring a standard bulky and heavy harness along. But this bag is not a harness replacement – it's designed for maximum weight savings for expeditions and freeriding.
Whether it's on land or snow, with a kite landboard or a buggy, skis or snowboards, for free-ride or teaching purposes, adults or children, beginners or advanced, for urban street kiting or as a travelling companion, the PEAK2 is your ultimate toy for a daily session.

The Flysurfer Flydoor 5 has enormous light wind potential is guaranteed through the optimized design details (dimensions, optimized rocker curves and a balanced mix of core materials). The proven center fin, which has resulted in various international competitions wins in the TwinTip racing class, remains a success, adding that last bit of performance advantage. But how good is all that performance, if the rider cannot extract it from the board? With the Flysurfer Flydoor 5 we provide you with easy riding and comfortable handling. Besides relaxing freeriding, you can also enjoy a variety of twin tip tricks or try out a strapless session and surprise yourself.
Who would have thought that the ʺConcept of the Doorʺ – a relatively large kiteboard specifically developed for lighter winds – would be around for so many years… But there is always something which can be improved further. The Flysurfer Flydoor 5 has a performance oriented focus, which means it allows riders to start planing and go upwind as early as possible, in the easiest possible way.
The new footstrap system ʺGalaxyʺ combined with the ʺSpaceʺ footpads guarantee intergalactic feeling to your feet and provide sublime hold. The innovative Click'n'Ride fin system allows for dismantling the matt white G-10 fins in just seconds and saves your beloved boards from scratches during transport.
Elegance and Quality
With the black and white design, we have managed to design a timeless and very sophisticated look. The many graphic details in the design tell a fantastic story. Since we produce our Flysurfer kiteboards in Europe and can ensure the lowest production tolerances possible, one can expect a high quality and purely perfected kiteboard. The Flydoor5, a refined board for the demanding riders of today. The Flydoor5 enables you to catch every breath of wind and thus enjoy every minute on the water – everyday is a kiteday!
New Space Pads and Galaxy Straps
The new and improved Space Pads – with more grip and very good damping characteristics for soft landing – and the high-grade Galaxy Straps – which allow for a perfect fit and hold, round off the Flydoor5 package. These straps can be adjusted on both sides and can be used from shoe size EU 39 (barefoot) to about size EU 48 (with neoprene shoes).
New Click and Ride Fin System
The innovative quick release fin system allows for a disassembly of fins in seconds. Whether for traveling or just to protect your car or other equipment during transport, this system will make the your kite life easier.
Center Fin
The Flydoor5 has a 8cm long centre-fin on the heel-side. The centre fin increases the upwind performance especially in lightwind and makes it able to ride the board flat.
Wood & Foam Core
All Flydoor5 boards have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core comes into use on the toe side in the longitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in weight. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core is used, guaranteeing breaking stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.
Made in the EU
Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.
Torsion Fibre Layers
The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional woven layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably higher torsion stiffness, which is reflected in increased jumping performance while remaining good comfort.
The core thickness on the board tips is only 2mm. This allows for supreme board control in overpowered conditions. When too much pressure occurs, the tip flexes upwards and gives you the impression you are riding a much smaller board. Loaded jumps are made easy!
Tucked Under Edge Rails
The "Tucked-Under" Edge has been cut off at a 45 degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board very controllable, even in choppy conditions and reduces spray.
Light Weight
With their low weight of 3.4kg and 3.7kg for the Flydoor5 L and XL respectively, the Flydoors belong to the lightest low-wind kiteboards on the market. Better riding characteristics guaranteed.
Asymmetric Outline
The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toe-side outline increases control when riding toe-side and provides increased maneuverability while carving.
Scratch Proof Topsheet
All of our boards have a special high-quality UV and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The graphic design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.
Wide Stance
Wider insert positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible – Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).

Reports: UTEP's Floyd emerges as strong candidate for Mizzou job
Apr 23, 2014 at 8:03a ET
UTEP head coach Tim Floyd's name emerged Tuesday as a candidate for the Missouri head coaching job left vacant by Frank Haith last week.
A source close to the situation told the Columbia Daily Tribune that Floyd would have strong interest in succeeding Haith, who left after three seasons to take the head coaching job at Tulsa.
Missouri has not yet requested permission to speak with Floyd, UTEP athletic director Bob Stull told the Tribune via email.
UTEP athletic director -- and former Missouri football coach -- Bob Stull said in an email to the Tribune that as of Tuesday night Missouri had not requested permission to talk with Floyd.
Floyd's head coaching career began in 1986 at Idaho and has included stops at New Orleans, Iowa State, the NBA's Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets, and Southern California. He has spent the past four seasons at UTEP, posting an 81-52 record.
Central Missouri coach Kim Anderson, a former star for the Tigers who also served on Norm Stewart's staff for 11 seasons in two stints as an assistant, is the only coach Missouri is known to have contacted, according to The Kansas City Star.

NCAA Football
B/R 5th Down: Old School Urban Meyer Photo, FSU Offered 300-Pound 14-Year-Old
Editor's Note: The 5th Down captures the top social college football stories of the week. Because the long, grueling offseason is underway, we'll focus on things that make us laugh, think or maybe cry, but mostly laugh.
1) Old School Urban Meyer Had a Killer Mustache
Here's a photo of Ohio State coach Urban Meyer circa 1987 when he was an assistant coach for the Buckeyes. It's probably the best photo you'll see today. Or this week.
Let's all recognize that Meyer used to have a strong mustache game. (Sup, ladies?) Because 5th Down is a fan of facial hair—looking right at you, Paul Rhoads—we're putting in a formal request that Meyer re-grow his 'stache. Similar to a playoff beard, Meyer can't shave it until the Buckeyes lose a game.
That could be a while.
2) What Are They Feeding Eighth-Graders These Days?
Over the weekend, eighth-grader Tru Thompson received a scholarship offer from Florida State. The days of being surprised by someone receiving an offer at such a young age are over. Rivals.com, after all, has set up profiles for middle schoolers.
But here's the thing about Thompson, a defensive tackle prospect: He's already 6'0" and weighs in at about 300 pounds. Just re-read that sentence again. Now, one more time.
I don't know what schools are putting in their french bread pizzas, but it's doing something. Thompson's still a kid, but at that size, that's a big man. What's more, Thompson drew raves for his strength and athleticism, according to Michael Langston of Warchant.com:
Tru Thompson from Griffin (Ga) stands 6-foot tall and weighs in at 300-pounds. But considering he wears size 18 shoes you can bet that he'll grow a few inches, and probably add a few more pounds, by the time he enrolls in college in 2019.
Considering his youth, Thompson is still in the early learning stages of his position. However, his amazing athleticism and strength caught everyone's attention at the camp. Turning in a 40-time of 5.1 seconds on Thursday also impressed onlookers.
Everybody hits their growth spurt at different times, but there's no way Thompson is done growing. That's almost unthinkable.
3) Speaking of FSU, Here's Derwin James Jumping Over a Person
Florida State freshman safety Derwin James has been the talk of Tallahassee since enrolling early this year. Hyped from the beginning, James justified the chatter by recording a pick-six against leading quarterback Sean Maguire just a few snaps into the spring game.
Now, he's staying busy during the summer months of the offseason by jumping over people because that's totally normal and something anyone can just do.
It doesn't matter so much that the person was crouching ever so slightly. James had, what, several inches of clearance there? Has anyone tested his DNA to make sure he's not, you know, a terminator or something?
The whole backflip-pass-catch thing is so last week. The box jump may as well be the Macarena. It's all about leaping over standing human beings now. Your move, Internet.
4) Your Awesome College Football Troll of the Week
Former Ohio State offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley had some fun recently at Oregon's expense while in Eugene. Check out the photo below. It's top-notch as far as trolling goes.
Ohio State, of course, beat Oregon in the College Football Playoff in January. What really sets this apart is that Bentley included the Oregon "O" in the "O-H-I-O" formation. It was a nice touch.
5) Mark Dantonio Served as the Grand Marshal for a Sprint Cup Race
The Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway took place Sunday, and Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio served as the grand marshal for the event. As part of his duties, Dantonio got to shout: "Drivers, start your engines!"
Look, we know Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh—with or without a shirt—has been all the talk lately. But only one coach had the silky smooth voice worthy of starting up dozens upon dozens of modified engines made of pure horsepower and muscle.
That's not nothing.
6) Here's Bret Bielema Calling the Hogs, Because that Never Gets Old
Arkansas' baseball team made it to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Since Hogs head coach Bret Bielema is pretty big into school spirit, he traveled up to Omaha to help cheer on the team. Along the way, he led a sizable group of Razorback fans in calling the hogs:
Watching Bielema do this will never not be fun.
7) LaQuan McGowan Throws out First Pitch at Rangers Game
Baylor tight end LaQuan McGowan, all 400 pounds of him, is a personal favorite here at 5th Down. Why? Because there's nothing we love more than watching large men achieve great things.
McGowan, who has some folklore going for him ever since he caught a touchdown pass in the Cotton Bowl in January, recently threw out a first pitch for a Texas Rangers baseball game:
Not bad. Pretty good form and all that. Really, though, the peak McGowan moment would have been if he had hit an inside-the-park home run. That would require him to actually, you know, play professional baseball—we understand the technicality there. Still, that's about as close to a LARGE MAN TOUCHDOWN equivalent in baseball as you're going to get.
8) You Want More College Football Cakes? You Got More College Football Cakes
June is officially wedding season, which means you're going to see a lot of college football-inspired baked goods. Remember, these are couples who likely don't believe in fall weddings.
The three cakes below all have some great craftsmanship, but the Toomer's Corner one is especially well done. You also can't go wrong with the Clemson cake, which has a ton of detail.
Still waiting on the college football cake that replicates Western Kentucky's Big Red.
It would have to be red velvet, right?

Notre Dame Football Recruiting Offers of the Week
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — With Notre Dame football's incoming freshmen arriving over the weekend, classes starting Monday and a slew of visitors lined up, the Irish coaching staff continued to dish out offers during the past week, extending another 11 across the country.
Each week we'll be keeping tabs on the new scholarship offers sent out by the Notre Dame coaches, tracking the recruiting process as the Irish focus their attention toward the classes of 2016, 2017 and maybe even 2018.
Melquise Stovall
A commitment to USC didn't stop Notre Dame from offering class-of-2016 running back and cornerback Melquise Stovall on Thursday.
The 5'8", 180-pounder is the No. 3 all-purpose back and No. 156 overall prospect in the country. Stovall, who hails from Lancaster, California, pledged to the Trojans in mid-April. He rushed for 1,603 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2014 as a junior.
"I was talking to the running back coach [Tony Alford] before he left [for a job at Ohio State]," Stovall told Irish247's Tom Loy in May. "We talked a lot. Now, I started talking to the wide receivers coach [Mike Denbrock]." … I do love the tradition of Notre Dame and the school itself. It's great."
Carlo Kemp
Notre Dame jumped into the mix with an offer for class-of-2016 strong-side defensive end Carlo Kemp on Tuesday.
The No. 17 strong-side end and No. 291 overall player, Kemp hails from Boulder, Colorado. The 6'3", 255-pounder also has offers from Nebraska, Colorado, Colorado State and Wisconsin, among others, according to Loy.
"It means a lot to me," Kemp told Loy. "It's awesome to finally pick up an offer from a school that I've wanted for a very long time."
"I'm talking with my mom right now to figure out a good date to visit Notre Dame," Kemp told Loy. "I'll get up there again later this summer."
Dontavious Jackson
Class-of-2016 linebacker Dontavious Jackson's fruitful week began with an offer from Notre Dame and ended with an offer from Alabama.
At 6'2", 239 pounds, Jackson is the No. 4 inside linebacker and No. 122 prospect in the country. The Houston product boasts an extensive offer list that includes LSU, Ohio State, Florida State, Florida, Georgia, UCLA and others.
As a junior, Jackson piled up 165 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and six sacks.
"I'm thinking of taking an official visit," Jackson told Loy. "It feels amazing, and I'm thankful."
Jeffrey McCulloch
The Irish didn't stop at just one Houston-area class-of-2016 linebacker, as they extended an offer to outside linebacker Jeffrey McCulloch on Friday.
The 6'2.5", 230-pound McCulloch is the No. 9 outside linebacker and No. 103 overall recruit in his class. Notre Dame joined Florida State, Stanford, Florida, USC, Oregon, Alabama and others with the offer.
Koby Quansah
Class-of-2016 inside linebacker Koby Quansah received an Irish offer Wednesday.
Quansah is listed as 6'1", 212 pounds and checks in as a 3-star linebacker—29th at his position and No. 407 in the country. The West Hartford, Connecticut, native also holds offers from Nebraska, Arizona State, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, in addition to others.
"Man, this offers means so much," Quansah told Loy. "It's great. I was talking to [Irish assistant] coach [Mike] Elston and then I talked to [Irish defensive coordinator Brian] VanGorder. That's when I found out about the offer, from Coach VanGorder. He told me he didn't need to see me in person and that based on my tape and Coach Elston's recommendation, he said that he wanted to offer me. It meant a lot that he liked me and I didn't even have to visit just to get it."
Quansah said while he hasn't completely narrowed down his recruitment yet, Notre Dame is in his top group, along with Michigan and Duke.
"I was talking to my coach recently about visits to Michigan and Notre Dame," Quansah said. "I'm gonna try to visit both on the same trip. If not, I'll definitely see both on official visits."
Donte Vaughn
Class-of-2016 cornerback Donte Vaughn took a midweek visit to Notre Dame and came away with an offer Wednesday.
At 6'3", 192 pounds, the 4-star Vaughn is the No. 27 cornerback and No. 302 recruit in the country. The Memphis, Tennessee, product also claims offers from Texas A&M, LSU, Mississippi State and Tennessee.
Ty Chandler
Nashville, Tennessee, product Ty Chandler became the third class-of-2017 running back to haul in an Irish offer when Notre Dame touched base Monday.
The 5'11", 180-pounder is the No. 7 running back and No. 66 overall prospect in his class. Chandler attends Montgomery Bell Academy, the same Nashville school that produced Irish redshirt freshman offensive lineman Alex Bars. LSU, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others, have also offered Chandler.
The Irish have also offered 2017 running backs Najee Harris, an Alabama commit, and Maleik Gray.
Wyatt Davis
Notre Dame's lone class-of-2017 commitment, Dillan Gibbons, is an offensive lineman, and the Irish have offered as many offensive linemen in the class as any other position.
They targeted another Wednesday by extending an offer to class-of-2017 tackle Wyatt Davis.
David is the No. 6 offensive tackle and No. 33 player in the country. Currently pegged as a 5-star recruit, Davis is listed at 6'5", 290 pounds and has offers from Michigan, Miami, Florida, UCLA, USC and Oklahoma, among others.
"I was very excited," Davis told Loy. "I've always wanted to check out Notre Dame and see what they were all about. I was really excited about this offer."
"Coach Denbrock wants me to come out for a visit and check them out," Davis said. "He wants me to stay in contact with [offensive line] coach [Harry] Hiestand."
Tyrell Ajian
Class-of-2017 athlete Tyrell Ajian landed a Notre Dame offer Saturday.
Ajian is the No. 3 athlete and No. 43 overall player in the country. The Mansfield, Ohio, product has visited Ohio State multiple times this spring and is scheduled to be on campus at Notre Dame this weekend for the Irish Invasion camp.
"Everything excites me about the Irish," Ajian told 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong. "Such a strong, physical team with a great tradition. I've always loved watching them."
JaCoby Stevens
Class-of-2017 wide receiver and safety JaCoby Stevens received an offer from the Irish on Wednesday, per 247Sports' Barton Simmons.
The 6'2", 200-pound Tennessee native is the No. 4 athlete and No. 44 prospect. Stevens' other offers include Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, LSU and Tennessee, in addition to others.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
A familiar surname popped back onto the Notre Dame recruiting radar Friday when class-of-2018 wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown landed an offer from the Irish.
The Anaheim, California, native is the brother of Irish incoming freshman wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown and class-of-2017 wide receiver Osiris St. Brown, who also holds an offer from Notre Dame. Amon-Ra St. Brown is just the second class-of-2018 prospect to receive an offer from the Irish. He joins fellow California wide receiver Jalen Hall, who heard from the Irish in mid-April.
"It's amazing that Equanimeous, Osiris and I can all go to the same school," Amon-Ra told Loy. "It's great. We'll see what happens next, but it's great that Notre Dame made sure that we all had an offer. It's incredible. I mean, I'm almost speechless and still in shock."
Notre Dame is the fourth school to offer St. Brown, following the lead of Boise State, Washington State and Utah.
"My dad called coach Brian Kelly and coach let him know that I had an offer from Notre Dame," St. Brown said. "I was amazed. It's truly a blessing. This is by far the biggest offer I've gotten yet. I'm shocked and amazed."

10 College Football Players Who Could Be Headed for Sophomore Slumps
The concept of a sophomore slump is hardly a new one in college football, or college sports in general. A freshman emerges onto the scene as a talented player and is feted with accolades, attention and a higher profile. And it goes to their head. They ease up a bit, more film gets out on them and opponents adjust.
A slump happens. Maybe it isn't their fault (a new coaching staff arrives, or the talent around them dips), but the concept remains the same, and their production falls off from the highs they reached as freshmen. Here is a group of players who could be facing sophomore slumps in 2015.
Georgia Football: 5 Most Consistent Players on the Bulldogs
Consistency is the key to any aspect of life. Being consistent at work, school and even in the gym can really take a person places.
The same holds true in college football, because the most consistent teams will always be in the running for the national title. And in order for the Georgia Bulldogs to get where they want to go in 2015, they will need to be more consistent on offense, defense and special teams.
The talent on the Bulldogs roster is evident, and they will have a chance to win the SEC if things bounce their way. But they can't be inconsistent like they were last season, which cost them three loses.
So here's a look at the five most consistent players on the roster.
Tennessee Football: 10 Best Players in Volunteers History
Coming up with an all-time-greats list for a program as tradition-rich as Tennessee football is not an easy task.
For generations, UT football has been among the nation's top programs. The Volunteers are 10th on the all-time wins list and sixth in bowl wins. There are legends up and down the list of all-time Vols greats, and a who's-who of the top college football and NFL players played their college careers on the Hill.
Evidence of Tennessee's prolific ability to churn out talented players can be seen in the culmination of a recent down cycle of the program. The 2015 NFL draft marked the first time in 51 years that no Vol was selected by a pro team.
Though it was sad to see such a long streak end, that's still a pretty remarkable run of success that spanned more than half a century.
The UT football program has stocked the NFL with stars for years. From the halcyon days of General Robert Neyland to the talent-stacked Tennessee teams of the 1990s, the Vols were among the nation's top teams.
Even after the forgettable final seasons of legendary coach Phillip Fulmer, the one year of Lane Kiffin and the failed hiring (and subsequent firing) of Derek Dooley, UT still ranks among college football's greats.
Stars such as Heath Shuler, Al Wilson, Jason Witten and Arian Foster were showcased on the UT teams of the 1990s and 2000s. Also, NFL greats like Peyton Manning, Beattie Feathers, Doug Atkins and Reggie White played their college days in Knoxville.
This list doesn't include Vols greats who weren't standout players. If so, Neyland would have made it, as would Fulmer. The list took into account playing careers mostly with at least some emphasis on their careers beyond. Also, any lasting legacy impact was taken into consideration.
So, picking an all-time UT top-10 list is tough. But where's the fun in not trying?
Let's take a look at Tennessee's top legends throughout such a rich history.

It is unlikely that you will find a pin registered negative carrier for your enlarger. Condit is no longer in business.
The place to begin is with a film punch. If you could find one of the old Condit punches on Ebay then the next step is to have a high precision machine shop duplicate the hole spacing of the punch into pins on the negative carrier.
I have done this with 4X5 and it is doable. Costly but doable.

Zambia Aims To Kickstart Manganese Production
The landlocked African nation of Zambia is best known for its copper. In 2012, it produced 675,000 metric tons (MT) of the metal, good for seventh on the US Geological Survey's (USGS) list of leading copper-producing countries. However, the country is looking to lower its reliance on copper by encouraging the development of other metals, including coal, uranium, iron ore and manganese.
Estimates of Zambia's manganese reserves are hard to come by. In March, Zambia Manganese Corporation's smelter general manager, Leon Erasmus, told an environmental impact assessment meeting that the country has 15 million MT of high-quality manganese. That's obviously a very general estimate, but if substantiated, it would make Zambia roughly the world's eighth-largest producer, behind Gabon, based on USGS data. Zambia: open for business? The country's mining sector was nationalized in 1978 only to be reprivatized in 1998. Since then, the Zambian government has been taking steps to attract more foreign investment to the industry. "Time-wasting procedures that may confront foreign investors elsewhere have been eliminated in Zambia and legal requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum," states the website of the country's Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development. "Streamlined processing of paperwork and rapid decisions, guided by the Investment Centre, greatly facilitate all aspects of importation of equipment and export of products." The country is currently reviewing its Mines and Minerals Act and is expected to approve an amendment that will allow the granting of longer licensing permits. That will allow investors to "have the confidence that they will have security of tenure," Mines Minister Yamfwa Mukanga was quoted as saying in a February 6 Mineweb article. "We are trying to attract more investment in the country by reviewing the legal framework. We are not going to go backwards," he added.

A very beautiful resort. We enjoyed privacy of the Las Casitas. We requested bottled water several times during the day due to the tap water was slightly brown. When arriving the hot water heater was not turned on and we waited for house keeping to clean the room. When visiting the El Conquistador the restaurant and lobby areas smelt of mold and mildew. Because of the communication gap I used offsite services such as 787fishing,com who was excellent! Lastly, Walmart does not sell meat and fruit, however there is a ECONO adjacent it that is a full grocery store. I ate at the Metopolis and did not like it at all for many reasons. I had a great vacation and would stay at the Las Casitas in the future.

Lending to homebuyers in the U.S. remains little above the depressed levels hit during the recession because banks are wary about lending amid a slew of regulations coming out next year and proliferation of enforcement actions by state and federal regulators, a top mortgage banking official told The Washington Times.
Five years of criticism of banks by politicians, the public, the media and regulators have left the industry averse to taking risks, said David H. Stevens, president of the Mortgage Bankers Association, noting that banks today are willing to make loans only to the wealthiest or most creditworthy borrowers unless the borrower has government backing.
"The pendulum may have swung too far. We're at a point right now where banks are afraid to make a bad loan," he said in an interview with editors and reporters at The Times.
That's at least in part because mortgages are much riskier than they once were, with about 11.5 percent of U.S. mortgages in default or foreclosure compared with about 1 percent before the housing market collapse, according to the association.
'Piling on'
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is concerned about the slowdown in lending and has sought to coax more credit out of banks by driving interest rates on mortgages to record lows, but many overzealous state and federal regulators seem oblivious to the harm they are doing to the market and the broader economy through an onslaught of regulations and enforcement actions against banks, Mr. Stevens said.
"Institutions that committed crimes need to be held accountable, but the concern is there's a piling-on effect, with everyone getting their trophy lawsuit," he said.
"The exuberance over enforcement in the lending arena has a tipping point. Banks don't have to lend money, and if you talk to any bank [chief executive] today, the message to their mortgage subsidiaries is, 'I don't want to be in the headlines ever again. Don't do any bad loan that could cause a regulatory impact or significant damage to my balance sheet.' That's what's causing the tightness in credit."
Banks are "restricting credit availability to all but the most qualified homebuyers" as they await clarification of pending mortgage rules and lawsuits, he said.
The shortage of credit is having a particularly harsh effect on low-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers, said Mr. Stevens, a former commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration. "The 1 percent are always going to get mortgages."
New regulations
While loan prospects are poor for people with average credit ratings, Mr. Stevens said, they could deteriorate further next year when a wave of six major regulations is due to hit banks. They include international requirements that banks set aside more capital to cushion against losses on risky loans, and major new Fed standards for mortgages that qualify to be incorporated into securities and sold to investors.
"It can get worse," starting with the "qualified mortgage rule" due to be published next month, he said. "Any loan that's not a 'qualified mortgage' will have huge litigation risk associated with it," and banks will charge much higher interest rates on those loans, he said.
Also, "if [regulators] don't give a clear safe harbor to banks" that comply with the rule, "that's going to constrain lending further," he said. "It could be fairly significant."
The international capital standards also are hitting banks in a way that could force many of them out of the mortgage business, he said, or drive up the rates that consumers have to pay by as much as 2.5 percentage points. A study by the conservative American Action Forum recently found that the combination of regulations hitting banks next year could cut lending by 20 percent.
