Mortgage rates were broadly unchanged today, despite negative cues from underlying bond markets. In other words, the bonds that account for most mortgage rate movement suggested higher rates--at least if you're comparing today against yesterday's latest levels.
The catch is that yesterday's mortgage rate sheets weren't based on the "latest levels." Bonds improved all day, and fairly substantially at that! Lenders offered lower rates in the afternoon, but they only make those adjustments once or twice on any given day (they prefer not to make them at all). As such, bonds continued to improve after the early afternoon glut of new lender rate sheets.
With all of the above in mind, it's easier to reconcile today's seemingly paradoxical strength. Indeed, current bond market trading levels are right in line with the levels seen during yesterday's mortgage lender rate sheet changes. In other words, we're right where we should be.
Loan Originator Perspective
While not convincingly holding below 2.42 on the 10 year is slightly concerning, without a convincing move higher in yield on the 10 year, I am advising my clients to cautiously float through the weekend as trading volume will be almost non-existent tomorrow and with Monday being a Holiday. I think locking today unless a move justifies it is almost like giving away 4 days of the time frame of the lock. -Steve Chizmadia, Loan Advisor, Worldwide Credit Corporation

A few kilometres away from Alghero, in the north-western far end of Sardinia there is the calcareous promontory of Capo Caccia. It's certainly the most beautiful and interesting site in the island, not only for its flora and fauna but also for its mysterious labyrinths of inside caves.
Massive calcareous cliffs 300 metres high wedge in the sea. The waves which strongly break on the cliff face seem not to scratch the rocks. Still, waves' activity has shaped them creating natural submerged caves, sea cavities, arches, tunnels. As a matter of fact Capo Caccia is famous for the loveliness of its largest cave, "Neptune Cave", visited every year by thousands of tourists.The name of the promontory translates as "Hunter's Cape", referred to those fearless hunters who used to climb the cliff face with ropes in search for birds, especially wild pigeons. It's a common said that hunters didn't need to shoot the game because there was so much of it that they could get it by their hands.

Nursery Rhymes — Where Supply The Traditional Ones Gone?
Nursery Rhymes — Where Have All The original Ones Gone?
If you are scanning this article you, probably, use a toddler or two seen creating havoc. If, much like me, you're wondering where each of the traditional nursery rhymes go to, I'm here to treat the specific situation! peppa pig
Do you remember the standard children's songs from the kindergarten years such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Old MacDonald Stood a Farm, Incy Wincy/Itsy Witsy Spider, ABC, etc? I reckon that which you remember them sung inside a certain way, with some other emphasis and stresses on certain keywords. You can not forget the melodies either — impossible! In fact a great deal of melodies are reused on multiple nursery rhymes including Twinkle Twinkle has the same melody because A, B, C Song and Baa Baa Black Sheep.
So that you can imagine my horror when recently, once i was trying to entertain my youngest daughter (15 months old) with some videos online and almost none of the aforementioned kids' songs were as I recalled! Was my difficulty in remembering things to blame here?
I needed to exhibit my baby every one of the nursery rhymes that I had grown up with, as did my very own mother/father and theirs too. I was stunned (or should that read "shocked"?) to find out how disastrously bad the vast majority of the web videos were. After all they were really awful! At the best, some were genuinely laugh out loud, but for each of the wrong reasons(!) possibly at worst some were downright scary and possibly not ideal for young kids. Possibly the ratio of excellent:bad quality was around 1:40! Furthermore noticed that the majority of the YouTube nursery rhyme videos had incredibly long intros — 20, 30 or higher seconds of pre-ambling material, promotions as well as other irrelevant material before actually commencing the primary theme. I probably don't need to show you dear parent, that only 20 seconds can seems like an incredibly long time if you have a wriggling and slightly bored baby on the lap!
Not only are the websites and animations mainly of your incredibly bad quality the specific songs and lyrics themselves were often incorrect, because singer/company's first language was often not actually English. Where had all of the real nursery rhymes gone I wondered? There is very little online learning resources that mirrored my childhood memories. "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" had now become "Dwingle Dwingle" as well as the little boy from Baa Baa Black Sheep now lived inside the lane (whatever which means!)
It is necessary that individuals don't lose our traditional songs on the unrelenting technological changes that allow anyone to upload any material they enjoy to the internet. It is vital that prime standards are adhered to and that we pass our playground songs on accurately. I urge you to definitely take a look at some of the nursery rhyme videos for yourself to view how awful they've got become. You'll laugh at some and shy away from others but following the initial laughter has died down you also will glance at the sadness of your respective childhood memories losing your way.
The volume of views a youtube video has brought or where it seems like inside the search results unfortunately doesn't give any suggestion of quality. So, where to find the great things and overlook the bad? My recommendations are as follows:
Go to YouTube (not Google) to find
Use the nursery rhyme's complete name — i.e. "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is better than "Twinkle Twinkle" and employ speech marks around title.
Adding the saying "British" or "English" can really help
Click search options and under "Features" (far right) click Hi-def.
Inspired from the not enough quality nursery rhyme videos available and with no previous experience, I assembled a group of men and women: myself, husband and a pair of daughters(!), to generate a solution.
It absolutely was great fun (also expensive!) and also at times it was very stressful project operating a remote team of animators, but we have been hugely happy with the final result. Our hope and dream is to create more of these traditional nursery rhyme animations and upload them all to YouTube so they really turned into a free resource for every one. peppa pig

– Such claims made at a conference on 'Emerging Trends and Innovation in School Sciences' at the NCERT-run Regional Institute of Education in Bhopal
– Some speakers said that sindoor "helps in balancing blood pressure" and going around a Tulsi plant has a "cooling effect"
BHOPAL: Forget an apple a day, it's the joining of fingers in 'Namaste' that keeps disease away. This and other claims were made at a conference on 'Emerging Trends and Innovation in School Sciences' at the NCERT-run Regional Institute of Education (RIE) in Bhopal on Wednesday.
Some speakers said that sindoor "helps in balancing blood pressure" and going around a Tulsi plant has a "cooling effect" as many in the audience stared in disbelief.
The scientific fraternity is outraged and says papers that have no scientific basis should not be allowed at such a conference. Research scholars and scientists will protest at the conference venue at RIE on Thursday.
Several scientists had cautioned RIE against allowing such papers. "We had sent emails to the principal of RIE, N Pradhan, saying that submission of such pseudoscientific papers should not be allowed. Shockingly, instead of stopping such papers, the organisers discussed several topics that have no scientific base," professor Soumitro Banerjee of Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (Kolkata) told TOI over phone.
Dr Ankit Sule from Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (Mumbai) had also objected to several topics slated for discussion. "On the first day, the conference had two parallel sessions on 'Ancient Scientific Knowledge in Recent Perspectives'. According to those present at these sessions and notes taken by persons in the audience, several speakers made a number of questionable claims," said Dr Sule. Citing examples, Dr Sule said there were claims that sindoor helps balance blood pressure and joining hands in 'namaste' keeps viruses and bacteria away.
It is obvious that this claim is a perfect example of pseudo-science. Scientists who have held marches for science for the past two years oppose just such propagation of pseudo-scientific beliefs," said Dr Sule.
RIE principal says he cannot comment on technical papersRecently, Prof K Vijayraghavan, principal scientific adviser to Government of India, wrote in an online article that propagation of such claims is certainly not warranted and it becomes duty of organisers and session chairs to ensure that such claims are not presented from the dais," Dr Sule added. "Sadly, all our warnings were ignored and the organisers did not take any steps to stop these talks from happening."
Dr Sule's colleague at Homi Bhabha Centre, Dr Rohini Karandikar, who has come here to present her paper, corroborated that a speaker extolled the cooling effect of Tulsi. "The speaker could not give any scientific reason for it," said Dr Karandikar.
When TOI contacted RIE principal N Pradhan, he said: "I am not a scientist and can't comment on technical papers presented in the conference. A committee was formed to check the papers that were submitted." He denied the institute had received any mails before the conference cautioning against pseudo-scientific papers.

"There are moments where I throw my hands up in the air because I'm so disgusted with the Neo-Pagan Movement. Much of what I've observed in this past year are things I observed (and subsequently felt disgusted by) occurred in Christianity."
This quote is what I used for what I now call my "rant heard around cyberspace" (in reality a few forums and a site or two posted a link, but given I had more spambots reading my blog than readers it was impressive). When I first wrote this post I dealt with my umpteenth Pagan political crud on the internet. When faced between online behavior and real life Pagan behavior I had enough and ranted. A bit of time passed, a few links to my rant were posted, and I've had a few more life experiences to go with those rants. I think there are a few I want to add to them based on some of the recent events in the Kemetic community.
It's becoming a clique. Here's what I wrote at the time:
"I'm seeing this trend where unless you're one of "them" you don't get to make the same remarks, dissent, nor practice with 'them'. It's natural to form groups, but there's a point where the "group" starts to hurt the religious dynamic."
I've come to realize with cliquish behavior in the Pagan community I was naïve. There is no disagreement, even amongst the clique, because that goes against all group-think. If one does anything to rock the boat within the clique backstabbing ensues. This is the key difference between an organization and a clique. Organizations settle their differences and problems in a way which is respectful, healthy, and promotes growth. Cliques gang up on people, plot revenge against dissenters, use dirty methods to get their ways, and eventually ostracize anyone not like them. It's usually the cliques who are…
Ruining communities with stupid witch wars. Witch wars divide communities like nothing else. From my experience it's usually a dispute between metaphysical stores, but that doesn't make the chaos and ensuing damage to the local community less. I've seen an entire community divided with parts gone underground because of witch wars. It's not only damaging to communities within, but from observers as well. It makes it look as if Pagans are incapable of handling squabbles or personal disputes without resorting to ofttimes sophomoric behavior. When we spread gossip intending to hurt other parties, "spy" on "enemies", pressure people to involve themselves with this dispute, boycott for no reason other than you're having a dispute with the person, shun for no reason, it ends up looking as if we aren't mature enough to sit all the parties down and solve it like adults. Maybe we aren't mature enough for this type of dispute. One of the reasons I say this is because the biggest causes of witch wars stems from…
Too many jealous or resentful people in the community. One of the biggest issues that started the screams for the pettiness to stop in the Kemetic community right now stems from the success of Tamara Siuda's kickstarter for a book. There was a bunch of spiteful backlash about the issue that eclipsed what should have been a positive moment overall. I'm not saying that Tamara Siuda should be free of criticism, I'm just saying that nastiness is best left for one's journal and not in the comments of celebrating a big moment for many in the Kemetic community.
The sad reality is the resentments and jealousy of this nature isn't just an isolated community issue. As I said in the other point this behavior is one of the main causes of witch wars. If we wish to have a thriving community we need to have a healthier way of managing resentments and jealousy.
Too many rabid fundies. What I originally wrote:
I know this seems odd to write about with a movement reputed to be so open, but I can't believe how many times I've had the Rede shoved down my throat. Many pagans cannot accept the fact not every pagan is Wiccan. This is a troubling trend, especially for Neo-Pagan religions that don't adhere to such things. That isn't to leave out the ones who, despite any scholarship, want to deny other groups. If this trend isn't abated in any way I may see a Pagan Religious Right in my lifetime.
I have a lot of people who honestly rolled their eyes at my thoughts on the fundamental Pagans. The thing is when one insists on everyone practicing exactly the same way regardless if one is an adherent of that religion it actually damages the community. It's one thing to expect a Tameran Wiccan who is a member of a coven who believes in the Rede to expect other members of the coven to believe it. It's another thing to expect a Kemetic Reconstructionist to follow the Rede, and vice versa about historical accuracy (yes, it's a different issue if something wholly inaccurate is claimed to be accurate). I have a difficult time believing this, with other behaviors, occurring in the Pagan community this isn't the foundation for groups going around promoting hate "in the name of (insert deity)".
If the bar isn't too high, it's too low. I originally wrote:
If it isn't strict "us vs. them" cliquishness there's this seemingly low standard to allow anything because it's pagan [sic]. This means allowing pewter items to be sold as amulets and crude artwork marketed en masse. The outrageous standards are going to kill the movement. Which leads me to my next point…
The point I was trying to make is we have far too nebulous standards, and I'm not sure how effective it is to have nebulous standards across the board. I'll address the other aspects in the next point.
Consumerism is rampant. I originally wrote:
How long have we, as those belonging to alternative faiths, blasted Christianity for its exploitation of people's dollars? I know it's hypocritical for one who will open her own store soon to say such things, but there's a difference between selling a ritual kit for a holiday and selling an ugly pendant as an alleged amulet. Have we forgotten some things, or just became hypocrites?
One thing which irritates me is how some items are marketed as occult or Pagan simply for its own sake. In the case of pewter amulets I've actually seen amulets meant to bring out elements of Mars made of pewter, a material which is considered mercurial. If there's an occult practice which doesn't have this mixture of planetary alignments as bad I'd love to learn more about it. I suppose if one is eclectic enough it doesn't matter.
However, I've learned a few things about the nature of these products while running my etsy store. Simply put these pewter amulets are everywhere because they sell and people don't want to shell out the money for the proper amulets. It's not the amulets alone. If it's labeled as Pagan, no mater how dubious the label there is someone who will buy it, someone usually less experienced with these things. I don't know what it's testament to more in our community, but it certainly needs to be addressed.
The inability to organize for most things. I originally wrote:
I know this issue has been addressed constantly, but if Neo-Pagans are to be taken seriously they're going to have to treat certain things seriously. This means arriving to events in a timely manner, coming together to protest and inform the public, and respecting differences. I'm starting to question if people have come to this religion for the same reason I came to it.
I think "Pagan time" is still an issue even after countless people explaining why this is rude and distracting. There's another issue that isn't fully discussed, though. It's the lack of commitment to a community. When a quadruple homicide happened in a town where I lived the police blamed it on occult sacrifice. When I not only spoke to the police force, books in hand, to explain why their reasoning wasn't sound, I found a local church who was elated when I suggested the local Pagans have a question and answer discussion panel to help dispell some of the myths. The Pagans were on board, but no one wanted to tell me when they were available. Sadly, the panel never happened.
It's the lack of commitment that is going to be the biggest killer of the Neo-Pagan movement. It's why I was excited to see Tamara Siuda's kickstarter have such success. To me it's a sign of possible change from the herding cat mentality for which Pagans are famous. It's a sign that we're starting to understand on some level if there are things we want in the community we must support it in a meaningful way.
The god complexes. I originally wrote:
It seems like one isn't a true pagan unless they lead all sorts of groups, despite being the only member. I understand with some paths one may ultimately practice solitary, but it's starting to seem like everyone and their goldfish is a high priest/ess. When I question these people, these "clergymen" become indignant or try to negate me in some way. It's part of the reason why many people don't take the Neo-Pagan Movement seriously, and it needs to be more stringently addressed. Not everyone is meant to be a clergymember, and the few seminaries already started is a great way to address that.
I feel the god complex is another cause of the witch wars. Someone believes they are some incredible gift to the community with an overblown sense of self then foster resentments when no one else acknowledges their genius. It's actually one of the reasons I love Ziltoid the Omnisicent as he embodies this very aspect.
Don't be Ziltoid. Just don't.
The Party Pagans. I originally wrote:
Reader, I trust you know the type: they're in it for the shock. While many of them will go their own way by the end of adolescence, there should be a better way to address this issue to repair the reputation. People think some become pagans for the image or to "get back". It's probably why a few still venture to say when one has a rough life they sink lower by pursuing paganism.
Apart from amusement at how I sounded like an 18th century author, I was trying to address how there are some who want to be considered Pagan without any discernible clue of being one. They don't contribute to the community, they don't practice, or if they do they show know real depth to their practice. They are Pagan in name only, and only bring it up to impress people. These folks are usually called "playgan", I call them "party pagans". Some do eventually grow more serious with their practice, but from my experience it's not that many. I don't know if there's a solution to weeding these people out because we need to have some idea of how to settle what makes anyone a follower of a Pagan path other than a name and a personal affirmation.
I think the part that bothers me the most about these rants isn't that they exist, but I'm not the only one, nor the first person, to have these complaints. These are the same issues constantly reemerging. I think we need to have some real solutions, but even I don't have an idea of how to solve all my rants. I do feel maybe something like a truth commission would benefit for resolving witch wars before it destroys a community would be helpful. Resolving issues should be a community effort anyway.
