CD Reviews - SEPTEMBER 8, 2014
Kent Manthie
Chasing Shadows

The latest CD from NYC’s The Lost Patrol, Chasing Shadows, is a mesmerizing, dreamlike, silky package, with brilliant, textured layers that ooze out a kind of “noir-pop”. With each new release they seem to be reaching higher into the atmosphere for their music. Lead singer Mollie Israel has this angel-voiced hush that caps the dreamy combination of guitars, keyboards, drums, etc.

The first cut, “Creeper” is a delight. A great song to open with; it really draws you into it’s musical web. “Too Hard Too Fast” is a haloed effect that glazes the beauty of its creatively molded pop sound and is, also, hard to resist. This is great material. Between their last work, 2013’s Driven and their mid-2014 release Chasing Shadows, The Lost Patrol has matured a bit, taken a “musical Valium” and the effect is a chill-out, windswept, cosmological sound that will induce you to a dreamy space rush.

The fourth cut, “Trust Me” has a tinge of the “space cowboy” to it – in other words, it has the same ethereal groove to it, but is accentuated with the strums of an acoustic guitar and an upbeat percussion. Mollie never fails to put out a fabulous vocal on “Trust Me” or the rest. The album goes next, straight to “Treachery”, a more sleek and sensuous sound.

The more I listen to it, the more I figure out who it is I hear in the back of my mind as TLP piques my memory: The Church. Not that there’s any big similarity between the two bands, but in the way that the early albums from The Church had a soft, billowing breeze to their atmospheric dream-pop, on such earlier works as Of Skins and Hearts, The Blurred Crusade and Séance. Just like those albums, Chasing Shadows has a way of being irresistible, of keeping the listener plugged into the album; one just can’t stop the music mid-way through the whole. But I don’t mean to make any solid comparisons between the two.

Between Stephen Masucci’s input: guitar, bass, keyboards and Michael Williams’s 12-string guitar, the music takes shape with a rhythm injected by Tony Mann, who plays his drums in a “just right” manner, appropriate for this: not a bombastic or synthesized treatment, but, by using what sound like brushes and a toned-down beat, gives the rhythm presence without shaking it up too much. One other, more apt comparison I could throw in would be the space-pop of Mazzy Star, but with more emphasis on a group dynamic rather than a back-up band for Hope Sandoval, not to criticize Mazzy Star: I think they have their own, wonderful angle of the angelic-pop sound.

Further on down, the title track is a brave new direction in which to travel; then there’s “I’m 28”, which has Mollie singing a plaintive cry about her life: she’s 28 and wondering what life holds in store for her, the lyrics reflect a similar wonderment about the closing years:“I’m 28 and scared/What have I got to do?” captures it brilliantly – one who is getting on and closer to 30, that magic number, for which, those who’ve gone quite a way in life, from the beginning – at 20, up to 29, when they (at least, according to some artificial, societal norm) are supposed to be settled and fixed upon a career, not, as much anymore, already married with children, as that whole phenomenon is being put off later and later these days while both men and women get a career started and try to find their niche. But they do want to have something accomplished, if not be on the road to it, before hitting that scary point of 30 (which, actually isn’t so bad. After 30, you want to do all you can and time doesn’t seem to be rolling that fast – it’s when you reach your late 30s that you suddenly realize that 40 is just around the corner – and then 50 and so on...

AThe last two songs, “Hurricane” and “If I Could” round out the album, with two beautiful, sonorous melodies. “If I Could” really is a great song with which to end – it’s got an endearing, memorable melody that lingers for a bit, even after the album stops playing. Another sign of great production and continuity. Yes, I can say, with surety, that Chasing Shadows shows The Lost Patrol growing and not just a here today, gone tomorrow outfit, they have a drive which keeps them going further, exploring new ground, softening a bit around the edges – at least on this album – with the result that the sound is a gorgeous sounding album of precious whimsy. If you haven’t been exposed to The Lost Patrol and would like to hear their subtle metamorphosis, check out Rocket Surgery or Driven and then give Chasing Shadows a listen and see for yourself what it’s all about. -KM

"What do you have coming up next?"
I had no answer. There are things I've wanted to do, things I've felt like I must do. But I couldn't plan them, not yet.

Friday morning I woke to a 3:20am alarm. I quickly wiggled into my white thrift store sundress, excited to "gear test" it on an alpine ridge on a "run" in the 4-5 hour range. I had told the guys that I'd be 'dress'ed for the occasion.

I grabbed my pre-packed bags and was out the door before 3:40. Off to the Little Cottonwood Canyon park-n-ride. We were to do Hidden Peak, the AF Twins, Red Stack, and Red Baldy. Only minor 3-4th class scrambling but a lot of ridge work. I was excited to get onto the ridge.

Craig and Scott leaving Hidden towards AF Twins
The usual morning banter put me at ease. Then, between Hidden and the AF Twins, a sunrise. With smoke and particles in the air from nearby fires, the sun glared red and across a painted sky. I couldn't get enough of it. I resorted to stopping to stare, run/scramble a bit to catch back up, then stopping again.

Craig taking in the sunrise
Once on the summit ridge for the AF Twins Scott tried to take a jumping picture of me. 30+ pictures later... the best one was still the first. We laughed and hurried to get to the summit.

Along the ridge between Red Stack and Red Baldy I had time to sit and think. It was a beautiful morning. I was happy. I knew I still hadn't forgiven myself for Bighorn. I've felt that, had I respected myself more, I would've stopped. Any sane person would've stopped. I've promised myself I would never go there again, a promise based on a crippling fear. But I still hadn't forgiven myself. I knew that I hadn't finished as a form of self-abuse... but I still hadn't come to terms with pushing through that.

Craig after Red Stack

And on the way to Red Baldy, I forgave myself. I remembered why I run at all... This was what I loved. The summits, the scrambles, the ridges, the sunrises. The laughter of friends, the goofing off.

I owe it to myself to push my limits. I owe it to myself to try again. Perhaps I found a limit at Bighorn. But I owe to these mountains to train again, to push again, to try.

an accidental photo of me laughing at the guys

On an early weekday morning, being silly in a sundress at 11,000+, I had found my reset button.
moving on
Saturday I watched the Speedgoat finish. Due to extenuating circumstances, I was unable to watch Sage's incredible finish. I did make it in time to watch the top 10 women run in. Each of them I knew by name and knew just a bit of their beautiful stories.

Was this what I wanted? Competitive races and media and medals? People smiling and clapping?

No, not really. There is a part of me that will always want the positive affimation that I'm doing ok, and that in someway I can help encourage or inspire others find the peace the mountains offer. To discover a "reset" button in their own lives and fitness journeys. But my joy comes from challenges that most races don't offer. The time I'd have to sacrifice to train to race at a more competitive level would pull away from my time spent on ridges and high mountains.
with my husband Ben scouting the Cottonwood Ridge Traverse for WURL

"Why don't you do speedgoat?" A final question was asked to me before I left. Again, I had no answer other than to say one year I would.

Then I turned my back on the race and looked up. Monte Cristo seemed tall and powerful as it gleamed in the sun. It took my breath away. I scanned the entire cottonwood ridge. I resolved to take 2 hours off my time from Ferguson Canyon to the ridge to Superior. I felt inspired, in awe.
on Monte Cristo last week

Perhaps there is a balancing act I have yet to discover and perfect. A balancing act that still allows me long ridges and occasional bush-whacks while still having me do speedwork and tempo runs on a weekly basis. A training regime that enhances my mountain running ability rather than relying solely on mountain running.

Scott approaching the saddle between Red Stack and Red Baldy
So, I've registered for races, shorter distances that I've never raced before. I've put dates on some of my other goals. The plans for summer and fall are beginining to take shape. New goals are set and I am finally ready to move on. I want to try the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase simply because I've never done a race that short... (oh, ok and it summits two peaks). I also signed up for the TNF EC 50.

I'd like to try to run a fast 50, something I haven't tried before. It's local and while I know the permitting drama has probably prevented the RD from posting the elevayion and race maps, he seems like a good guy and the races have a solid reputation. He also sent me a discount code for anyone else who wants to register: JEATON15 takes 15% off an entry.

So, here's to the reset.

the runner's low

The runner's high - that sought after, beautiful feeling of flow, fulfillment, contentment, and even pleasure - is so present in running media and culture, it seems as if the runner's low doesn't exist.
...Yet it's presence is continually there. It shows up in different ways - the post race blues with the unbalance of hormones and exhaustion and lack of routine. It can slide in at envy of others runs, their training schedule and ability, their social fun. It is deep in sultry pains of an ultra, when we question ourselves, who we are, why we are doing this. It's fierce when we are injured and unable to run at all. It sneaks in as a "NEED" to have another adventure, another high, and the low feeling when we can't satisfy that craving. It seems part of an addictive solution for our brain to feel happy and alive. It exists -  we remember a particularly fun run/adventure/race, and we want it - again. Even right after a race, blisters still oozing on our f…

standhope 60k

it seems like the last few years I've aged, and I've grown. I lost my identity as a runner. if I didn't run frequently, if I wasn't in the mountains, if I wasn't pushing my own limits, what was I?
I'd retained the identity as a mother, daughter, sibling, friend, student of literature and wilderness. this was a shift - less time, less comments, less messages with the running community that I didn't know well, a deepening of friendships and relationships with those closest to me.
it felt odd, going into standhope. I didn't have goals, I wasn't sure where I was at with running, I wasn't in shape for racing. I had this idealism, that if I raced hard, I could inspire others, not to run, but to pursue life with passion. but, what about when I can't race hard? when life is racing too hard for me to train?

that WEIGHTY issue

It's been said to us climbers that what we do is dangerous, and irresponsible. How could we risk our lives like this? And distance trail running, if it compromises our health why do it? How dare we take that time away from our families? And yet, to even make mention about a different lifestyle, one of weight, obesity, and all of the very dangerous and risky components it involves is socially disgraceful, insensitive, and cruel. I bring this up only to show how much weight, in general, is not "ok" to talk about. It's a sensitive subject, even, no, especially, for those of us already at a healthy weight who use our bodies to their fullest daily...

Now, this blog is about running, ain't it? Yep. So while there's a lot of "weight" we could cover in this "weighty" area, we'll just go over one. Running.
Running and weight are intertwined. I'd like to say that this post is primarily for the ladies, because we typically store more weight t…

Electrostatic Precipitator

Electrostatic Precipitator

An Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) is a highly energy efficient abatement solution for oily smoke fumes, using only 30 Watts/1000m3/hour, compared to an incinerator at 3KW/1000m3/hour.

The oily fumes are usually generated at high temperatures and the ESP works at low temperatures.

The Heat Recovery system required to cool the gases is a valuable source of income to offset the equipment cost.

Remember when I went to the Media Dinner at The Bonefish Grill a few months back? Well, I remembered reading about their Endless Bubbles Brunch and have been dying to give it a go ever since. I convinced M to drive out to Wolf Road with me two weeks ago and I'm happy to say I'm in love! It's the perfect place to go with your girlfriends, that special person in your life, or your entire family. My recent visit was to catch up with some of my favorite ladies and gossip about life, boys, and most importantly - food!

We all chose the Endless Bubbles Brunch and indulged in passion fruit mimosas, bellinis, and traditional mimosas. I enjoyed one of each and think the passion fruit was my favorite. Ohh how I love Champagne on a Sunday afternoon!

I decided to keep brunch simple and ordered the traditional eggs benny with a side of fresh greens.

(The first time I enjoyed the Bubbles Brunch I ordered the Surf & Turf eggs benny with potatoes au gratin. It was out of this world - so make sure you try it when you go!)

The eggs were beautifully poached with a Hollandaise sauce that had a impeccable balance of lemon and butter.  It was the perfect amount of food that left my tummy content and ready to start off my Super Bowl Sunday.

The girls were kind enough to wait as I snapped a quick photo of some of their plates.
Alexa ordered the California Omelet with a side of potatoes au gratin.
Doesn't it look scrumptious? You can check out her blog post about brunch here.

Brittney ordered the Garden Fresh Omelet with fruit.

And Anna tried the Huevos Benedictos which was my second choice!

If you love mimosas and are in search of a great brunch spot I highly recommend you give it a go and head that way this Sunday! You can make a reservation here

Don't for get to Tweet at me or tag me in your Instagram to show me what you ordered!

  1. Great photos Kim! What a great brunch, can't wait to do it again!

    1. Thanks, Alexa! I'm drooling just thinking about those mimosas and my eggs benny!

Thanks for stopping by The Simple Treat! I hope you enjoyed my latest post!

Foot-Stomping and Pouty Faces

Though it happened more than ten years ago, the memory of it still haunts me – even more so today than at the time. It was one of our first arguments as a married couple. My husband offered to do the grocery shopping for the week and took the grocery list all neatly organized and categorized by aisle (his request, as he was not as “familiar” with the layout of the land!). We had shopped many times together but this was Kevin’s first time, since we had married, going it alone! He returned with the groceries and began pulling his treasures out of the bags.

Wait, that’s not the brand of bread I buy! 1% milk? But I drink 2%! I was keeping these thoughts inside my head but as the pile of groceries on the kitchen counter was growing, so was my discontentment. The ice cream was the final straw! Though it was SOOOOO important at the time, truthfully I don’t even remember now what flavor of ice cream I had requested, but it was NOT what he brought home!

To write this all out now, I’m ashamed to see how I responded to the loving attempt Kevin had made to lift one of my burdens that week. But even more, I’m ashamed as I think about how many times that scene has played out over and over through my lifetime.

If it wasn’t the groceries that weren’t just what I wanted, it was the seat I’d been assigned in the classroom, or the neighbors who had moved in to the apartment below me, or the way my baby screamed when nobody else’s baby was screaming, or the way my husband or children’s timetable was different than the way I had planned the day.

In every case I took what was handed to me – ultimately handed to me by the Lord – and spit on it!

Fast forward to Marriage, Year #12.

Now one house, two kids, three cars, and many, many grocery store trips later…

The kids and I are hanging out after the first day of school on a very hot, late summer day when we hear the familiar and welcome sound of the ice cream truck coming. My daughter and I run out the door to catch it, taking orders as we go.

Colin calls out, “I’d like a fudge Popsicle, please!” We return minutes later with our goodies and 7-year-old Colin greets us at the door, “What did you get me, Mom?”

The prankster in me couldn’t resist – “I got you just what you wanted! A banana Popsicle, right?”

I watched as sweet Colin’s face sank just a bit. He thought for no more than half a second and then quickly replied, “Well, I’ll try it!” My heart melted. The Holy Spirit immediately spoke to my heart:

Let the little children lead them.

“At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.’”
(Matthew 11:25 NIV)

As I handed Colin the fudge Popsicle he had been hoping for I realized that there was no irony here, just God’s divine way of connecting my present with my past. The ice cream scene with my husband years ago had, in essence, just been repeated. This time with a godly result! Where I had responded with a complaining heart, my 7-year-old had responded with gratefulness for what he had been given and with trust that perhaps what his mama had picked out for him could even be better.

[Now, just so you don’t get the false picture that I’m raising a saint here, I have to add that there are plenty of times when Colin’s heart response is right in step with my own. Like, for example, about 2 hours later when we’d been playing a board game and I said it was time to clean up. That was not what he wanted to hear, and the foot stopping and squeaky, whiny voice that followed showed it!]

Oh, how I must grieve the heart of God my Father over and over! How many times – even in one day – do I respond with a foot-stomp and pouty face (whether literally or not) when what the Lord has handed me is not what I was expecting?? It is in moments like these that I am so grateful that His love for me is not dependent upon my heart of obedience (or lack thereof).

I am so grateful that He is patient with me – even when conviction takes years to bring about a changed heart.

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;…”

I am so grateful that He blesses me, even as I act like a spoiled child and don’t deserve anything!

“…he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;…”

I am so grateful that His forgiveness knows no bounds!

“…as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him…”
(Psalm 103:8-13 NIV)

And I love that He has graciously given me children to both reveal the sins of my heart and, on days like this – to even lead me by their example!

If my words today resonate in your heart, we’d be so blessed to hear from you!

How has the Lord used your spouse and/or your children to reveal the sin in your heart and convict you towards change?

In what area of your life do you need to replace foot-stomping and a pouty face with a grateful heart?

**Watch for news of Throne of Grace’s Fall Sale coming a little after noon (PST) today!**

In His Grace and for His Glory,

  1. Susan Schrum says:

    This made me smile, especially when I saw so much of my Amanda here. Can’t believe how alike you two are!! And, that is a very good thing! Love you!

  2. paula land says:

    thank you Molly that was honest and well said. we sure all fall short. i remember you when you were a little girl. my son was chris shook.
    paula shook land

  3. Beth Gillis says:

    Ah yes, I can relate just a tad. Whatever behavior my little Dani needs discipline for, I might as well just look in the mirror. =/ Quick to anger…check. Disobedient heart….check. Dissatisfaction….check. But like you said, it’s a comfort and blessing to know and trust that the LORD is loving, kind, gracious, and merciful.

  4. Uh-oh! The “prankster” in you comes directly from your sinful mother!!!! How many times did I pull “pranks” on you and Emmy??? It’s a wonder you didn’t end up on the psychiatrist’s couch over the way I raised you both! God is so gracious and faithful to cover our sin and to redeem our mistakes to His glory and for our good!!!

  5. Wow Molly. This really touched me. I’m Jacobs mom. I am putting my world in perspective day by day with my sons illness as we move toward his cure, and this really touched me. As I let go of control over some things and allow others to help, I needed to hear this. I am so grateful for the help and love we are receiving as we embark on this journey. Thank you for the blog.

    • Lori, I am thrilled that you found us here! The Throne of Grace team prayed for Jacob on Thursday. I’m so glad to hear that the scripture cards were a blessing to you. Would it be okay with you if we asked our readers to pray for Jacob? We post prayer requests and praises on the blog once a week on Mondays. Let me know if that would be okay.

      “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

      With love & prayers,

      • Molly, we would be so grateful for prayers for Jacob. He had to go back in the hospital for a little bit last night, but he’s back home now. Thank you for all you do. Love, Lori

  6. Hi Molly, this is Ava from the other side of town. 🙂 Thank you so much for your post. What a great story. God really used it to speak to me… something He’s been speaking to me about in my own life. For example, my two lovely girls were demonstrating their selfish, sinful nature just yesterday while sharing a bowl of leftover cake batter. In the midst of their incessant whining & bickering about who was getting more(and while my whole body was feeling like nails were being dragged across a chalkboard) this thought came to me: This is what God’s children must sound like to Him when we are not demonstrating love to one another, or just being ungrateful and whining about our circumstances–Is that what I sound like, Lord? How awful! Pls forgive me–Your story of Colin and his willing heart to trust in spite of his disappointment touched me when I needed it most. Thank you! :o)

  7. Ava, So great to hear from you! (All the way from the other side of town!) 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I can relate to your story as well! As both you and Beth stated so perfectly, it’s a blessing when the Lord allows us to see in the mirror the same sinful heart demonstrated by our children. Just evidence that He is not through with us yet! 🙂 It keeps us humble and, hopefully, allows us to show a little mercy when we would otherwise feel like blowing our top!

Love the immigrant

As I’ve said before, I think Christians in the United States need to react with compassion toward immigrants. That’s not about policies nor practices; it’s about attitudes. Even if you think there should be a hardline, zero-tolerance approach to illegal immigration, your attitude toward immigrants should be one of compassion.

Listening to some people talk about immigrants, you’d think that the majority are conniving scoundrels seeking to take advantage of legal loopholes. Such people do exist. I remember talking with some young men in Argentina who would come to the U.S. every year as tourists, then go work illegally in the ski areas here in this country. They were merely taking advantage of the system.

There are even criminals who take advantage of porous borders to commit crimes. Again, these do exist.

But the majority of the people coming to our southern borders are desperate people trying to find a way to survive. They aren’t trying to take advantage of anybody or anything; they are looking to protect their families as best they can.

Does that mean they should automatically be given amnesty? No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying that whatever your views toward immigration policy, your view toward immigrants should not be one of hatred, disdain, or resentment. If it is… you’re wrong. As a Christian, you’re wrong. As an American, a Democrat, a Republican, or whatever, you may be fully justified. But if, as a Christian, your attitude is not one of love and compassion… you’re wrong.

Even if you advocate for building a wall, closing the borders, and deporting all aliens, I’d beg you to look on these people as neighbors, as people made in the image of God, as huddled masses yearning to be free… and look on them with love.

Equity Release Adviser - Leads/employed - City, Aberdeen, United Kingdom, AB10

Futureproof your career

Mortgage advice is tough. You lose cases because of surveyors. Underwriters. People and their "changes of mind". And you can't stop watching the news for whether interest rates will go up. Or house prices down. Or both.

You could though work in a sector where lending is increasing year on year. In a sector where demand for your expertise will only grow. In a sector where conversion rates are way higher than mortgages.

You could work in equity release.

And you can.

You're an experienced mortgage adviser and you've always done well. You've hit targets and earned decent money (although a little less in recent years). But you'd like the better financial rewards of a growing sector. And you'd like the reward of changing lives. It's a cliché. But it's true. Equity release frees people in a way that your standard mortgage doesn't.

Here you'll be home based. You'll receive enough qualified leads to fill your diary. And you'll work for a firm that invests millions in marketing.

30 home Loan Rates

Apartment loans Interest rates

The current interest rates are 4.88% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, 4.38% for a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage and 4.98% for a 5/1 floating rate mortgage (ARM). 30-year fixed rate home loan, 4.

750%, 0.000, 4.902%, $521.65. 20-year fixed rate home loan, 4.750%, -0.250, 4.957%, $646.22.

30 year annuity home building loan with fixed interest rates

Exactly what is a 30 year term loan and what are the best rates available in Australia? Like we mentioned earlier, the costs of your mortgages over the 25 or 30 years you will need to fully repay them will largely depend on the interest rates you use.

Given that interest rates are currently quite low, it makes good business sense to have some borrower look for a firm interest for as long as possible. Here we show you the best long-term flat rates for mortgages in Australia. Which is a long-term fixed-rate mortgages?

No. A long interest fix interest loan is a home loan with a fix interest over a long periode, in some cases up to 30 years. That means that the interest on the loan is set for the entire 30 years of the loan. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, a basic foodstuff of the US real estate markets, are an unfamiliar commodity for many here in Australia.

There' s not too much that is different between a 30-year fixed-rate home loan and other fixed-rate home loans except that the maturity is so much longer. In the following, we would like to explain the advantages and disadvantages of 30-year solid mortgages. When you are considering obtaining a 30-year fixed-rate mortgag, it would be advisable to consult a finance consultant or planning engineer.

Could you get a 30-year fixed-rate in Australia? It is not. At the date of this report, Australia's creditors do not currently provide 30 year interest rates. Now in the present day markets, you will be able to find interest-bearing home loan for a max of 15 years with a very small number of creditors.

So you can't get a 30 year straight fix interest home loan. However, what you can do is to take out a fixed-rate loan with a maturity as long as possible, then use a new fixed-rate loan to fund it when the first fixed-rate period expires.

As a result, the overall duration of the loan could increase to 30 years. Obviously, everything will depend on what the interest rates do at the expiration date of your interest rates, whether the bank is willing to re-finance your loan at another interest rates, and what your individual finance can do.

The following institutes in the Canstar databank currently provide fixed-rate mortgages of 10 or 15 years: Always review the PDS (Product Release Statement), the most important facts and your own finances before deciding on a home loan. Have a look at Canstar's Home Loan Checklist if you are not sure what you should look for in a home loan.

There are advantages and disadvantages of long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans, as with any kind of asset management instrument. When used as a guaranteed loan, this kind of loan can provide stable returns when it comes to exactly what your repayment will be for a certain amount of money, as the interest rates do not vary due to outside influences and RBA money.

Conversely, Australia has a finite number of longterm fixed-rate mortgage product lines and no 30-year fixed-rate mortgage lines. Interest rates are also much higher than for other kinds of home loan. Current interest rates offered for long-term fixed-rate borrowings are significant, much higher than those offered for shorter-term or standardised variable-rate borrowings.

Seventy-three percent p.a. On the basis of credit available for a $350,000, 80% LVR home P & I home loan in the Canstar data base as of January 24, 2018. You must then recall that when the fix maturity ends, the reversal rates applies, and the reversal rates may be higher than the fix prices you have paid.

However, if you choose to change your loan before the 30-year period has expired, the cost of breaks can be quite high. Lastly, some long-term permanent home mortgages may not have the characteristics of short-term permanent home mortgages, such as equalisation account, new acquisitions and the possibility of additional repayment. If you have considered and found that a 10- to 30-year-old fixed-rate mortgages is not the right choice for you, there are innumerable other short-term fixed-rate mortgages available.

Housing mortgages also bear a set interest that is set by your creditor, but return at a floating interest at the end of the year. Ordered by the actual interest rates (lowest - highest), please be aware that this chart contains items related to a loan amount of $600,000 for a home in NSW with an 80% loss of value (LVR).

Of course, the other kind of loan available, of course, is the default Home Loan Variable. Often a default home loan has an interest payment that is susceptible to changes in the reserve bank's money market and other outside conditions, and your monetary returns will vary. It is both a boon and a bane, as variations in these variables can cause interest rates to drop, make them more attractive or drive them up, leading to you having to pay more interest.

Ranked by our stars rating (highest - lowest), please be aware that this chart contains items related to a $600,000 loan amount for a home in NSW with an 80% loss ratio. Whilst Canstar does not value us 30-year-old fixed-rate mortgages, we value a host of other kinds of home loan product, and we supply education information about even more of them.

Best Heloc Rates today

The best Heloc rates today

Today, most lenders are more cautious. When we buy something, we make sure we get the best value for our money. In this year we continue to see today's HELOC interest rates close to all-time lows. As soon as I have refinanced the BRRRR'ed property, I will pay the Heloc immediately.

Search the best HELOC rates online

Obtaining a home equity line of credit or HELOC loans seems to be a favorite step in 2018. HELOC rates are still very sensible and real estate prices are rising in large parts of the US. It is no mystery that house owners have at their disposal many different types of cash advantages such as taxes deducted and soft loans that are not available to those who do not own a home.

In this year we see today's HELOC interest rates near all-time-low. Buying with the best HELOC financiers on-line makes good business sense now that prices are so low. In 2018, if you want to get the best HELOC rates, we suggest you take the following steps: It' s important to keep in mind that no amount of low introduction rates at HEELOCs will make you consider it; it will always increase.

A lot of home equity loans creditors will provide you with a very low introduction installment for the first six month or years of the loans. That' s okay, but you should always keep in mind that the rates will rise significantly in the long run. Do you know how long the implementation will take?

Also, know how long you pay interest only making repayments on the HELOC. Creditors will inform you that the interest on the HELOC is calculated on the base interest rat. No matter what the actual interest rates are, your HELOC interest rates can differ greatly from creditor to creditor. To a large extent, it will depend on how much the particular creditor writes down the interest rates.

It is the gain of the creditor that is the difference between the closing price and the price of the currency at any given time. If, for example, the key interest is 3%, the joint premium is 2%. Thus your end of your daily payment is 5%. Find out if you can find a HELOC borrower that charges less than a mark-up.

Often the spread between the basic index interest and the price you paid is due to a haircut. Don't expect the HELOC premium to be the same throughout the life of the whole credit. Check whether the interest premium is the same for the whole length of the borrower³s term interest overlay.

Make sure you always get the best HELOC rates. Their home equity line could begin at a very low temporary level. However, it is important to comprehend what the interest ceiling is on your particular loans. Each HELOC has an upper interest limit, but it can fluctuate widely. A lot of home equity credit can increase by only 1% per year up to a ceiling.

Comparing and comparing what the cap is with multiple HELOC financiers. During the drawing season, you can withdraw capital with an own capital line from your house. Reimbursement shall commence at that point in that year. Most homeowners want a longer drawing season with a lower drawing fee for a longer one.

In order to keep your total prepayment low, some creditors may install a large, one-time HELOC payout at the end. When you do not have the money, you may need to take out another one. You must repay the HELOC mortgage if you choose to resell the house before repaying the mortgage.

However, many mortgages financiers want to replenish their margins by offering you a vigorous early repayment fee. Looking for a home equity line that won't prepay you if you have to resell your home before you thought. Request a cheap HELOC that will not add any charges for not using your own capital.

Be sure to select a banking institution that will not bill you for not having access to your HELOC line. You will lose a lot of latitude if the mortgagor wants you to have a minimal payout amount or a minimal amount that can be loaned. Like always, the best interest rates go to borrower with the best loans.

If you pay for everything on schedule, keep your balance as low as possible when you get a home equities line of credit. Please note that even if you pay for everything on schedule, keep your balance as low as possible when you get a home equities line of credit. Your home equities line of credit should be as low as possible. It will increase your creditworthiness and will help you achieve a lower installment. When you are considering a home loans line of credit because you want to fund your debts with a floating interest fee, it may make more sense for you to take out a permanent home loans.

When you have less than Stellar Credit, ask for poor home equity lending programmes that may be available according to your countervailing factor.... Check and benchmark a HELOC vs. home equity facility in a straightforward but insightful side-by-side comparison. Search for the best home equity lending rates now. Don't always think that your first borrower will give you the best HELOC interest rates.

Take a look around, because HELOC's prices may change according to who you are talking to! In 2018, we advise homeowners to benefit from low HELOC interest rates and high real estate valuations. It' difficult to say how long the low-interest market will last. It' s a great way to get your own money out for the things you need in your world.

Remembering the above advice when applying for the best HELOC interest rates can help you avoid a lot of interest over the term of the loans. Do you want to reduce the service time of your HELOC? When you have taken out a 30-year-old HELOC and are 15 years from retiring and 22 years on your line of credit, you may not like the idea of having to make quarterly mortgages while you have a finite and steady salary.

A lot of folks want to own their home without a home loan until they retire, and a short-term home loan can help you get there, despite having to make months that can be steeper. However, there are many ways to get home without a homeowner. In 2018 the HELOC taxation legislation will be amended. They can no longer depreciate the interest on home ownership credits and a HELOC.

Find out more about the changes in taxes deducted on home ownership credits. Do you want to modify the conditions of your HELOC? They might have taken out a variable-rate mortgages that had an extremely low interest that remained in effect for five years. So why not stick to the best HELOC rates today while pricing is so low?

Now, when those five years are over and HELOC interest rates seem to be going up, you shouldn't be dealing with increasing HELOC payment in the coming years. So you could refinance yourself to a fixed-rate home loans and end up with repayments that could be higher than what you are now facing, but that no longer goes up.

HELOC is a good way to tap into the capital in your home to help you afford the things you need. HELOC works like a debit cards; you lend yourself from the line of credit what you need if the needs arise over an extended periods of your life.

Interest rates are usually much lower than what you find on major debit/credit cards, however. This is why tens of thousands of homeowners turn to a HELOC to pay off debts and other things. Interest rates on most of HELOC's follow the key interest rates, which have risen this year.

In April 2018, the HELOC exchange of 30,000 US dollars averaged 5.92%. As a rule, the interest rates remain set for a brief time and can then rise or fall depending on the key interest or LIBOR. That may be a problem in an increasingly interest driven market where we now seem to find ourselves.

Whilst the interest on your HELOC will be much lower than a debit/credit card (where interest rates also rise), there may still be a concern that your HELOC interest rates could tend higher in the next few years, as high as 6% or even 7%. In order to get the best HELOC interest rates in an increasingly interest driven market, you should keep these things in mind:

It' s wise to repay as much of your debts as possible and make your bills on schedule before you get a home equity line of credit. Take out a home loan and make sure that you get your money on your way. Your higher your rating, the better your payment will be. An individual with subpar loan could get a good over 6% interest right now, and that means being paid much more in interest over a period of being.

Get just one HELOC from the same lending institution that did your first mortgage. Sure. You could get a good business from your creditor, but there is no need to just get an offer. The majority of mortgages professionals recommend obtaining a HELOC quotation from large commercial banking institutions, a small mutual banking institution and an on-line lending institution.

Often on-line creditors have lower overheads and can offer you a lower interest rates. However, a typical regional cooperative knows your home country and can offer low interest programmes. A very low HELOC rating can be seen on one of your offers, but you need to find out how long this low rating will last and how much it can go up.

The majority of a HELOC has an interest set that adapts to the key interest rates. However, some creditors can give you a low interest for 6 month or a year. They should ask all creditors what the initial instalment is, how long it will remain firm and whether there is an upper limit that limits how high it can go.

After all, if there is no upper limit for the HELOC record, you may have a record that is higher than you can afford. In the first phase of your HELOC you can withdraw cash and simply interest on the month's payments. So it is important to comprehend all the options on rates with the creditor you are choosing.

Don't be dazzled by this spectacular low interest rates and ignore the charges that hide behind the glare. However, some creditors compensate for the low interest rates by levying an advance payment, a third parties charge and an annuity. Amount of the credit affects your interest rates.

If you have more capital in the house, you are less likely to have too much debts. Doing this looks better to the lenders and will often get you a lower installment. In order to find out how much capital you have, find a good on-line valuation of the value of your home and deduct the amount you owed on the first hypothec.

The majority of states and creditors allow you to take out up to 80% of this mismatch. So, if you have a house valued at $300,000 and a $200,000 mortgag, you have $100,000 in your own funds. As a rule, the creditor will allow you to take out $80,000. Interest rates on first and second rate loans tend to be higher as the economies get better.

However, house assets are also rising so that you could be in good condition to draw a great deal of capital from your home. Simply keep the above hints in the back of your head in order to get the best possible price for your HELOC.

• A luxury cruise line needed a high volume of promotional materials printed but had very limited resources and no streamlined way to manage production. The company was falling behind schedule.
  • The cruise line needed an integrated, full menu solution that could manage its digital assets, employ variable print data, support brand consistency, personalization and add new art content on an as needed basis to meet aggressive deadlines.
  • The company had attempted to build its own web-to-print solution, but it turned out to be expensive, inaccurate and didn’t accomplish what it needed to.

THE SOLUTION: T/O’s content management digital-to-print solution and custom asset management system

  • The solution’s customizable interface provided an immediate solution to the cruise line’s art needs. Its tracking and reporting capabilities provide up-to-the-minute information during every step of the process.
  • The asset management system provided the flexibility that the company needed to upload assets on their aggressive timeline and helped the cruise line manage assets in multiple media formats, along with offering user-set access levels, data security and automatic backups.

The resulting speed to market has allowed the cruise line to pivot during booking season to meet — and increase — booking goals with greater agility, ship by ship, cruise by cruise. The content is now dynamic, which has saved the company an estimated six hours per piece of collateral in design time and other costs. The cruise line can now create 2,000 custom flyers each year, and can manage and meet partner and vendor expectations.

Productivity and efficiency have increased significantly across the company, all the way down to the sales teams.

Our business is governed by multiple levels of sales prevention tactics (also referred to as MNDAs and NDAs) so we can’t share with you our client names or the exact tactics they have leveraged to achieve these results.

What future for travel agents with Artificial Intelligence set to replace jobs? Abta 2018 speaker Dr Paul Redmond spoke to Ian Taylor

What future for travel agents with Artificial intelligence set to replace jobs? Abta 2018 speaker Dr Paul Redmond spoke to Ian Taylor

Travel businesses need to embrace technology even as artificial intelligence (AI) eliminates jobs and “changes everything”, Dr Paul Redmond of Liverpool University will tell Abta’s Travel Convention in Spain in October.

Redmond will address the convention in Seville on ‘Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse’ he says AI will bring. The Liverpool University director of student experience wowed last year’s convention when he spoke on the differences between generations.

“We see the effect of technology in a lot of sectors, particularly on white-collar jobs, but I’ll talk about the impact of AI on jobs in travel,” he said.

Redmond notes fears about technology are not new, but said: “There’s been a huge acceleration in technology since 2007. It is changing everything, and we need to work with it. It’s not either people or technology, it’s about working together – staff and technology.”

At the university, he said: “Technology is changing attention spans. We’re having to engage students differently. It’s a challenge getting them to be in the moment and to notice where they are.

“We’re still building lecture theatres the same as 100 years ago. We’re still running exams. We’re still quite formal, with a history department in one building, science in another, [but] students want flexible space.”

When students graduate and look for work, he said: “There are jobs, but they are different. Accountancy firm PwC used to take 1,000 graduates a year [as trainee accountants], but you can do accounts on an app.

“Companies are also looking more for behaviours than for specific skills. But how can you be assessed for something like passion? If you apply for a job with Unilever, you have to make a phone video of yourself that is assessed by algorithms. How do you pass that?”

Redmond agrees “it doesn’t seem possible” to create enough new jobs to replace all those likely to be lost to AI, and asks: “How is it going to work? Probably we’ll work at a more flexible level.”

In travel, he said: “Customers don’t need to go to a high street agent for information. They want a customised analysis and a focus on experience.

“It’s a great opportunity to provide personal service, knowledge and support.”

Redmond will tell delegates: “Concentrate on areas customers want and on terrific customer service, and maximise the benefits of having excellent, motivated staff. Great customer service is something computers and robots can’t do yet.”

He will add: “Your customers will never be any more happy than your staff – that is key.”

Redmond will speak on the first day of the convention, which will be themed on ‘Truth, Trust and the Future of Experts’.

The Travel Convention 2018 takes place on October 8-10 at Barceló Convention Centre, Seville. Full details: thetravelconvention.com

Gatwick is set for its busiest summer on record, with 8.8 million passengers set to use the airport during the school holidays.

The projection came after numbers rose by 26% in June to 4.5 million passengers with long-haul routes growing by 26% year-on-year.

The busiest summer days at Gatwick are forecast to be:

· Friday, July 20 for departures  – 86,000 passengers
· Sunday, September 2 for arrivals – 88,400 passengers
· Sunday, August 12 overall – 167,200 passengers

Orlando remains the most popular summer long-haul destination, with Doha a new addition to the top ten list after a double-daily service was introduced by Qatar Airways in May.

Barcelona remains Gatwick’s top summer short-haul destination with Nice joining the top ten.

Airport chief executive Stewart Wingate said: “Just one week after we added a 67th long-haul service to our extensive network – with the launch of the UK’s only direct flights to Chengdu with Air China – it’s fantastic to see that our long-haul routes are continuing to perform so strongly, with solid growth recorded in June.”

He added: “We’re currently exploring the best and most sustainable ways that Gatwick can continue to grow in order to keep supporting the local and national economy and help Britain reap the benefits of greater global connectivity.

“In the meantime, with the summer holidays just around the corner and record numbers due to use Gatwick, we’re committed to ensuring that all of our passengers have a smooth and enjoyable experience as they travel through the airport this summer.”

Meanwhile, Edinburgh airport reported a record June, wit a 6.7% rise in passengers to almost 1.4 million over the same month last year.

Chief executive Gordon Dewar said: “The summer months see the airport at its busiest with schools breaking up and families heading away for that sunshine and relaxation, and those holidays have helped us record our busiest ever June.

“The surge in international passengers reflects the continued growth in our international routes and we’ve seen strong starts to both our Washington D C and Beijing routes, while traditional beach destinations like Alicante, Tenerife and Palma have also proven to be popular.”

Liverpool John Lennon airport has been awarded a five-star rating by OAG for flight punctuality. With an on-time performance of 85.4% of flights running on time, the ranking represents performance over a rolling 12-month period.

• Liverpool remains the only airport in the north of England and one of just three across the UK alongside Birmingham and Cardiff, to achieve a 5 star rating. Globally, Liverpool is listed in the top 10% of airports.

5 Garden-Inspired Wedding Ideas

5 Garden-Inspired Wedding Ideas

Not only is the Tuckahoe Plantation a historic landmark, it’s also a spectacular exclusively outdoor venue for weddings. If you’re dreaming of a garden wedding, then the plantation is the perfect venue for you! While our venue is beautiful as is, there are so many little touches you can add to transform the space into the celebration of your dreams. From natural tablescapes to flower-filled lanterns, here are a few ideas for your garden-inspired wedding.

  1. Natural Tablescapes

Rather than seating your guests at traditional round or square reception tables, use long banquet tables. This not only creates an inviting atmosphere, but encourages your guests to mix and mingle as well. Finish the look with a fabric table runner and low wedding centerpieces with lots of greenery for a garden-inspired look. For an earthy look, add moss balls to your table arrangements. If you’re having a more traditional reception, ivy is a great option. For a fresh and timeless look, seasonal flowers in bright colors will do the trick.

  1. Chairs with greenery

Chairs have a major impact on your wedding design because there are so many of them in one specific area. This is why it’s important to choose a style of chairs that’s in line with your aesthetic. Cross-back chairs are one of the hottest trends for garden weddings. Not only do they look nice, but they also come in a variety of colors from whitewashed wood to dark mahogany. For an effortless and beautiful detail, dress up your wedding chairs with simple greenery garlands.

  1. Floral aisle markers

Aisle markers are a great way to dress up an outdoor ceremony space. Beautiful flowers displayed in tin vessels are just one of the many ways you can add florals to your aisle. Whether you use small baskets or vintage watering cans, garden weddings are the perfect opportunity to experiment with non-traditional vessels for your flower arrangements. You can also end your ceremony with a celebratory petal toss! Try filling paper cones with petals and displaying them in a cute basket at the entrance of your aisle for your guests.

  1. A unique backdrop

The exchanging of rings is one of the most special moments of your big day. Your wedding ring is a symbol of eternity and represents the uniting of two hearts endless in love. So much thought goes into choosing the perfect wedding rings, including your personal style and how it looks with your engagement ring. Many jewelers, including Blue Nile, offer their selection of wedding ring styles online to help make the process easier. With that being said, why not set the scene of this memorable moment with a gorgeous backdrop? From decorating an arch with bundles of fresh flowers such as hydrangeas and garden roses to repurposing an old fireplace mantel and dressing it up with fresh flowers, there are so many ways you can dress up your ceremony backdrop.

  1. Flower-filled lanterns

With the right lighting, your garden reception can look and feel downright magical. Utilize the structural elements that are already built into your venue such as fences, lattices, and tree branches, and hang lighting such as tinkly lights, marquee lights, and lanterns. Be sure to use LED candles rather than wick candles. Flower-filled lanterns also look beautiful when suspended from hooks or trees. Strategically hang the flowers throughout your venue for a magical, whimsical vibe.

A Welcome Habitat for Bees

Guest Post by Sally Keys

Bees are vital to every aspect of the ecosystem. As well as producing honey, their main contribution is pollination, and their hard work adds $15 billion to the US agricultural output each year. Pollination produces bigger and prettier fruits and vegetables and so bees are very welcome visitors at the Tuckahoe Plantation’s organic vegetable plot and parterre herb garden. And without bees, the formal floral gardens would no longer yield the blooms used to create the exquisite flower arrangements and wedding bouquets displayed at the venue.

Thomas Jefferson on Bees

The rewarding pursuit of beekeeping is becoming more common and it has a long tradition dating back to when honey bees were first brought to America in 1622. Thomas Jefferson was an avid beekeeper and wrote a little about the honey bee in North America in his nature book, Notes on Virginia. Like any good farmer in the 18th century, he kept bees on his estate not simply to collect their valuable honey and beeswax but, more importantly, to pollinate crops. He may well have seen from his childhood at Tuckahoe how, even though they can self-pollinate, a healthy yield of tobacco plants was still dependent on bees to create beneficial genetic mixes.

Restoring Bee Populations

What Jefferson will not have known is that the tobacco plants helped keep bumble bees healthy, as scientists have only recently discovered that the naturally occurring chemicals found in the flowers can reduce infection levels of a common parasite by more than 80%. The state of Virginia loses a third of its hives each year, and the Department of Agriculture takes measures to attempt to eradicate and control bee diseases as well as offering advice on helping to restore bee numbers. This includes asking residents to plant even the smallest of flower boxes, so extensive gardens like those at Tuckahoe are a very welcome habitat for dwindling bee populations.

Bees and the Tuckahoe Gardens

As an exclusively outdoor venue, the gardens are a vital element of the plantation and are designed to delight all year round. The delicate yellow flowers of the Wintersweet and other winter blooming plants help bees overwinter, to be ready to gather nectar from the peonies and old roses in the summer. Early bee species, like the orchard mason bee, might enjoy the Japanese apricot blossom in February, but the crocus provides the first substantial pollen source after a long, cold season. Although it doesn’t require pollination, even the muscadine grape vine benefits from the presence of bees as the crop is stimulated by the increased biodiversity where they are working.

The beautiful gardens at Tuckahoe welcome guests to celebrate, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and explore their history. Working alongside the attentive Tuckahoe gardener, bees are vital to the flourishing of the flowers, plants and vegetables, encouraging beautiful blooms, fragrant herbs, and healthy crops all year round.

Inclement Weather Warning

Due to Hurricane Florence, the plantation will be closed from Thursday September 13th to Sunday September 16th. All tours of the House and Grounds (guided, self-guided, or event-related) will be unavailable for the safety of our staff, clients, and visitors. Please plan your visit around the closure…the plantation is more enjoyable on a dry, sunny day!

Stay updated on our website blog and Facebook feed, or contact us at 804-774-1614 or [email protected] Please note, the Office is closed from 9/13-9/16 also, so staff will have limited phone and email access. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we look forward to your future visit!

Historic Homes as Event Venues

Paige Feingenbaum of Smart Meetings wrote an article, “If the Walls Could Talk in the Mid-Atlantic” about historic sites turned event venues. She highlights that “we can appreciate these grand homes for their grace and shining beauty, while acknowledging their shadowed past. The furniture and four walls—preserved, restored and maintained to appear frozen in time—may look the same when you step into this time warp of American history, but the demographics could not be more different from centuries ago. Visitors and groups of all races, ethnicities and classes are now equally welcome to freely roam in unity.” The Mid-Atlantic region, especially Virginia, plays a vital role in the hospitality industry, allowing guests to experience the region’s past. Historic homes, like Tuckahoe Plantation, warmly open their doors to guests for events, meetings, and/or tours, connecting Virginia’s past to the relevant present.
