(Note: all my picks come from the first season on CBS the show seemed to run out of good ideas as it progressed.Great gag. Also, because my personal belief is that no work deserves to be hidden because of its content - in the right context, everything has merit - I agree with many of the show’s famous black fans, who say that Amos ‘n Andy didn’t deserve to be banished indefinitely in 1966 (following intense NAACP backlash). So, while I can’t really treat the show as I would most of the ones we cover here, both because of its baggage and because of its character work, I can at least repurpose its memory by praising its wonderful cast - performers Alvin Childress, Spencer Williams Jr., Tim Moore, Ernestine Wade, Johnny Lee, Nick O’Demus, and Amanda Randolph, who elevate their material the best they can, adding humanity to nuance-less parts - and present to you a no-frills list of five episodes that showcase them, and the series, in the most comedic, memorable light possible. This must have been a treat for an audience hungering for more of this, and while the sensitive nature of black depictions elsewhere invites extra scrutiny to Amos ‘n Andy, it was providing something of value to the community. Yet there’s a lot here to celebrate, too: the TV series, unlike its radio predecessor, was the first comedy with an all-black cast, set in a world where being black was totally normal. Accordingly, the fact that the show keeps its regular roles one-dimensional - surface traits, no capacity for growth - becomes even more imprudent, for this only exacerbates the inherent racial concerns. I hoped that I would come to agree with the many fans who call Amos ‘n Andy a lost gem: one of the smartest and funniest of TV’s early sitcoms, unfairly treated because of its unavoidable racial assumptions, which, depending on who you ask, are either legitimately troublesome or erroneously feared. But I’m afraid that I simply don’t think that’s a valid narrative - not only is the series NOT on that top shelf of its era’s comedies ( I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, The Phil Silvers Show), because its character work is not up to those standards, it’s also impossible to wrest Amos, Andy, the Kingfish, Sapphire, Calhoun, etc., from the minstrel tropes and stereotypes that had defined African Americans in entertainment up to that point, an issue made more glaring when we note that the creative team was all white. ![]() ![]() ![]() You see, many first season scripts for The Amos ‘n Andy Show were written by Leave It To Beaver‘s two creators, Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, and I thought this connection would inform my looks at both series… However, after examining the 74/78 episodes that circulate (they’re all on YouTube as of this writing), I’m afraid I can’t really give this show my usual critical attention. ![]() Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday! This week, I planned to cover the television adaptation of the long-running radio hit Amos ‘n’ Andy, which ran for two years (1951-1953) of 52 episodes on CBS-TV, with another 26 added that decade in first-run syndication.

The most critical variable in pitching mechanics is timing, and a pitcher's ability to repeat his delivery is at the root of pitch command. He ended the 2013 season with a 4.78 ERA.Īre those struggles merely a thing of the past? Our own Doug Thorburn says certain mechanical adjustments this year have allowed Arrieta to be more consistent, leading to better control and improved results: Thus, he issued too many free passes undermined his above-average stuff that was largely handcuffing hitters. 212 batting average in 2013-which was 11th-best among 157 starters who threw at least 70 innings-but his 12.7 percent walk rate was the second-highest in all of baseball. Newspapers are no longer asking if Arrieta is going to make it as a big leaguer, but rather if he’s going to be elite.Ĭommand and control have historically been troublesome for Arrieta. Some articles have even begun wondering if Arrieta could be the next “ace” for the Chicago Cubs, which illustrates both the knee-jerk hyperbolic nature of our sports media and just how stellar the right-hander has been over the past couple months. It appears the Cubs may reap significant dividends from this deal, though, given his recent dominant performance. The change-of-scenery deal is a gamble that many organizations have made over the years it doesn’t always pay off. The Cubs, however, saw Arrieta’s natural ability and wagered they could fix him. In 358 innings with Baltimore, he had a 5.46 ERA and was walking 15.3 percent of the batters he faced in 2013 before the trade. ![]() Arrieta was a former top prospect, but he had acquired the dreaded “bust” label after struggling for his first four seasons in the big leagues. I also reached out to a couple of other BP writers to help shed some light on Arrieta’s recent performance, offering multiple distinct perspectives on what’s happening on the North Side of Chicago.Īlmost exactly a year ago, the Chicago Cubs acquired right-hander Jake Arrieta in a deal that sent veteran Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger to the Baltimore Orioles. ![]() Good news: That’s what we attempt to determine in this space every week. It’s a number that has increased dramatically in the past couple weeks, and owners have begun to ask whether Arrieta is someone to simply plug-and-play while he’s scorching hot, or if this breakout is something more permanent. Fantasy owners have taken notice, too, as the 28-year-old hurler is now owned in 83.5 percent of ESPN leagues (as of Monday evening). He’s gone four consecutive starts in which he’s thrown at least seven innings and struck out nine. Through 39 2/3 innings in the month of June, Arrieta compiled a 0.92 ERA with 48 strikeouts and only six walks. He wasn’t talked about enough in fantasy circles, but after flirting with no-hitters in back-to-back outings, he’s on the tip of every fantasy owner’s tongue. Quite simply, it’s because right-hander Jake Arrieta laid waste to Major League Baseball last month. Y’all brought interesting names to the table in the comments section last week, and while I normally choose an individual player on whom to focus based upon your suggestions, I felt the need to go off the board.

To our surprise, we found that the system works exceptionally well, just as intended. This might be a gamechanger for some users. They provide a linear configurable press, thus imitating the analog triggers of gamepads. You get a special tool that lets you easily swap the caps with either the MagForce or the Racing ones. What makes things more interesting is the set of keycaps we mentioned earlier. Also, it features a NumberPad section and large Arrow keys. It has decent key travel and clicky feedback. Now, the keyboard itself is super comfortable for typing. Just above it, there is the power button, and in the top left corner, you will find the “Turbo” button. Moving to the base, we see even more RGB in the form of the keyboard backlight. And some of that is placed on the lid cover – both the Predator logo and the strips on either side are glowing. As you can tell, this laptop is absolutely flooded with RGB. This provides some needed stability, although the lid is not exactly resistant to flex. Its bezels are surprisingly thin, with the hinges having an adequate gap between them. However, this information is not that relevant, as we don’t see anyone trying to purposely twist this exact notebook.Įxpectedly, the lid opens easily with a single hand. Generally, it has no flex in its chassis. It weighs nearly 4 kilos and has a profile of 35.3mm. Needless to say, this device not only looks like a tank but it is built like one too. You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: Later on, we are going to discuss the extra features, but first, let’s take the laptop out of its packaging, and see what you get. For example, it is extremely easy to upgrade, thanks to the service door, that Acer has retained. Ultimately, there are other things that make the device even more exciting. It is an abomination of aggressive gaming looks, tons of RGB lighting, and of course, desktop-matching hardware. However, what will happen if you combine the abilities of modern hardware with enough space for decent cooling? Well, the Predator Helios 500 (PH517-52) is what happens. We are seeing sub 2-kilo devices with a lot of power. ![]() In recent years, gaming laptops have shrunk massively, when compared to their relatives from 5 years ago.

Most homeowners refinance to lock in a better interest rate or lower their monthly payment. For example, your credit will be checked, your income will be verified and your finances will be thoroughly reviewed. Since a refinance completely replaces your current loan with a new mortgage loan, it’s important to understand that a number of criteria will be taken into account, just like the first time you went through the home buying process. Factors to consider before refinancing are your total savings, the cost to refinance and how long you plan to own the home. Many homeowners are in a good position to refinance if you are planning to live in the home for a long period of time and feel confident they will be approved for a lower interest rate, changing the loan term or eliminating private mortgage insurance. Lending services may not be available in all areas.Some jumbo loan options may not be available to first-time home buyers.Some loan options may not be available in all states.You’ll have an escrow account for payment of taxes and insurance. ![]() ![]() Your credit score is over 720, or 740 for certain jumbo loan options.Your debt-to-income ratio is less than 30%.Closing costs will be paid up front, not rolled into the loan.If refinancing, you’re not taking cash out.You’re buying or refinancing a single-family home that’s your primary residence.For all rates shown, unless otherwise noted, we assumed: Assumptions Lenders calculate rates using assumptions: basic loan details. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 3.619%. Some state and county maximum loan amount restrictions may apply. The actual payment amount will be greater. Payment does not include taxes and insurance premiums. Thereafter, the monthly loan payment will consist of equal monthly principal and interest payments only until the end of the loan. For mortgages with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 92.51%, the 0.8% monthly MIP will be paid for the first 30 years of the mortgage term, or the end of the mortgage term, whichever comes first. Payment includes a one time upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) at 1.75% of the base loan amount and a monthly MIP calculated at 0.8% of the base loan amount. The VA loan is a benefit of military service and only offered to veterans, surviving spouses and active duty military. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 2.874%. The payment on a $247,000, 30-year fixed-rate loan at 2.49% and 92.51% loan-to-value (LTV) is $974.67 with 2.125 Points due at closing. Payment does not include taxes and insurance.
