press release
Washington — The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors has approved funds to help the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) modernize its banking infrastructure, and increase the availability of long-term financial resources for entrepreneurs across the economy to start or scale up their businesses. Today's project targets poor and unserved communities, particularly women and youth.
The new US$30 million IDA* grant supports the Financial Infrastructure and Markets Project, designed to upgrade DRC's banking system with an electronic platform, and provide financing solutions to entrepreneurs. The project also supports the expansion of the microfinance and banking industry with services such as electronic - including mobile - and branchless banking operations across the country.
"The DRC is slowly emerging from a long period of conflicts, which have had devastating impacts on the population and on the economy," said Eustache Ouayoro, World Bank Country Director for DRC. "Today's project will support entrepreneurs across the country and their families who will benefit from greater access to finance and increased revenues, including women who will have access to tailored financial literacy assistance."
The IDA grant will build upon the results achieved by the on-going Private Sector Development and Competitiveness Project (PSDCP), such as improvements in banking governance, regulation and security in the investment climate. The PSDCP has successfully initiated in DRC a National Payments System (NPS) infrastructure, a real-time, electronic system to process financial transactions across the economy. An efficient NPS will also help to improve the Government's financial collection and accounting abilities.
The microfinance sector is the fastest growing sector of the DRC economy, having grown from 100,000 clients in 2007 to over one million clients in 2013, of which 38 percent (on average) are women. Today's grant will help strengthen the capacity of a few selected microfinance institutions and commercial banks interested in tailoring their lending services to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and entrepreneurs. The funds will also provide a line of credit facility for medium to long-term finance to MSMEs.
"Key to our mission in DRC is support for activities that boost the competitiveness of targeted highest-potential industries and the removal of key binding constraints to economic growth," said Steven R. Dimitriyev, World Bank Task Team Leader. "By providing growth opportunities for the Congolese financial sector, and creating access to the much needed financing for entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium enterprises, today's project can help propel economic growth and pave the way for families to lift themselves out of poverty."
* The World Bank's International Development Association (IDA), established in 1960, helps the world's poorest countries by providing loans (called "credits") and grants for projects and programs that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people's lives. IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world's 81 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa. Resources from IDA bring positive change for 2.5 billion people living on less than $2 a day. Since 1960, IDA has supported development work in 108 countries. Annual commitments have increased steadily and averaged about $15 billion over the last three years, with about 50 percent of commitments going to Africa.

Let's laugh and discover new things together.
I'm smart, complex, laid back, witty, affectionate, open minded, empathetic, very curious, and a kid at heart. I like to laugh at almost anything, since life is serious enough, yet have no problem handling whatever is thrown my way. I like to try new things, and go with the flow where ever I am. I like most animals, especially cats. I'm a big fan of the water. I enjoy intelligent conversations as well as being silly. I tend see the world a bit different than most people, and can be mis-understood at times. You smart girls know what I'm talking about. And I take the wide view of intelligence, so creative and curious people can be just brainy as a math savvy organizer. Ideally, I'm looking for a smart, curious person, who has a sense of humor. Someone who will challenge me, and make me think about things in new ways. Someone to share things with, and who is open to trying things, and maybe even inspire me. Someone who can be both a great friend, and share good chemistry. I'm looking for that mental connection, more than anything else, since brains is a real turn on for me. I enjoy treating that special someone in my life as they should be, special. Listening and being attentive is a given, and if you like them, massages too. I'm not materialistic, so if you are, we probably won't get along. But if you are in some way a nerd, geek, or a kid at heart, I'll probably find you really cool.

Williamsburg is a place I like to go to, now and then. Getting out of the city is always nice. England and PR were really fun.
My tastes are varied, and change over time. I like things with layers or complexity in it. Some long time favorites include: Doctor Who, Fight Club, Serenity, Flight of the Concords, NIN.
I try to have fun where ever I am. I like trying new things. I enjoy topics of substance as well as being silly. Maybe have some drinks, cook together and enjoy some good food, being affectionate, discussing issues, it's all fun to me.
Tolkien, The Alchemist series, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Rick Riordan, and Scientific American magazine. I like to carry something to read during train rides.

Wow, that's a weird thing to type.
There'll be no more new comics projects from me in 2010.
Wow, that's a weird thing to type.
This…saddens me
But we'll still get issues of existing projects, yes?
What? This can't be serious?
What, only the 500 projects you're already working on?
How will I live?
So, the colostomy-humping return of Nextwave fell through, eh?
Well, it's probably for the best. (This is a lie.)
I'm going to venture… "Congratulations?!" I'm guessing it's a novel. Well, then! Amaze us, Good Shepherd!
"No more new comics projects" means there will be new non-comics projects? Prose? TV? sculptures made of pigs dipped in liquid nitrogen? I'm all for cryo-bacon.
Well, time to sulk in my back issues!
Good luck holding those ideas at bay!
This can only mean one thing…
'tis a black day, a day of mourning
That sounds an awful lot like me saying "I vow to go to sleep at a normal hour." Or: "I'm sure my taxes will be on time this year." Or "of course I'll do the reasonable projects first.".
No COMICS eh? How about that novel?
This is kind of weird.
….and a million fanboys cut themselves and bleed to death.
Nah,we'll be okay.You've got a crapload of existing comics to sift through.

snorkeling near Sorrento

Are there any beaches or snorkeling in the Sorrento area? Can anyone make suggestions? I really do not want to go to Capri.. I can see it is expensive tourist trap.. Michelle Campbell Valrico FL
This link is for a scuba diving outfit based in Sorrento. http://www.sorrentodiving.it/en/ Another link for beaches in and around Sorrento. My favourite (pebble) beach is at Marina del Cantone. There is a bus service from Sorrento. http://www.sorrentodreaming.com/what-to-see/beaches-of-sorrento/
Michelle: Please explain your use of "tourist trap" with reference to Capri. So often people use that expression for a place they consider too expensive. A true tourist trap is one that does not deliver what it promises. Capri is very beautiful. I have sweet memories of it. You can visit it or not but you needn't denigrate it with the phrase "tourist trap" unless you have evidence.
I think of a 'tourist trap' as a place not that doesn't deliver what it promises, but rather a place where prices are overly inflated because those who offer services to tourists know they have a captive audience and can therefore get away with being a bit unscrupulous about what they charge for goods and services. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary definition is 'a place that attracts and exploits tourists'. If prices of essentials like food and water, transportation to access the island, etc. are highly inflated over prices in the surrounding communities where locals live, then I suppose it would be fair to call Capri a 'tourist trap'.
Your point is taken, Rose, but I await Michelle's source for her saying "I can see it is expensive tourist trap."
Thank you Linda for you helpful suggestions. Would others who offer no real answers please vent someplace else.
I'm quite uncomfortable with the expression "tourist trap" too. I guess I think mostly of tourist trap where all the money goes to the owner, both for admission and entertainment, as well as food. Somewhere like Disneyland. I still like Disneyland.
My own take on Capri is that it was extremely beautiful but has a Beverly Hills cache (i.e. exclusivity, elegance, etc) and exploits it to the fullest with pricing and advertising - this in a country that has many, many beautiful substitutes that are far less expensive...so to each his own. Had I known then what I know now, I would have based my self in either Anacapri ( a little less expensive, although not much, I think) or Sorrento or Ischia. My memory of Capri was wonderful, but each day a ferryboat of tourists would descend on this small place and it felt a bit overrun...luckily there were so many little alleys an labyrinths all over the place that you could still feel like you were there(somewhat)alone (I went off season though, in Sept). A "tourist trap" can simply be interpreted as a person's lower valuation of a place (and its perceived offerings) relative to the expense to travel and spend time there - in this case, the price tag on a cruise's offering. Since each valuation differs by person, I don't really take offense to the term - even if I liked the place much more than they did.
I don't know about Disneyland Paris, but I believe the food purveyors at Disneyland in Orlando and Anaheim are concessions - in other words the $$ spent by visitors on food and drink don't go to the Disney corporation, though they may take a cut. At least I'm fairly sure that's how it used to be long ago when I went there.
Michelle, I loved my day on the island of Ischia at a thermal resort. Stayed all day in the pools and on the beach. The water in the bay was calm enough for snorkeling but I didn't see anyone snorkeling. Next time I go to Ischia I will explore more of the island along with enjoying the thermal baths again. Morning ferry from Sorrento to the island and back was very do-able but next time I plan on staying on the island for 2-3 days. Ciao!
what is thermal baths
Google is your friend.
:) :) :)
Thank you Ed smiles michelle

A wildfire in the Copper River Basin had grown to nearly 1,200 acres by Thursday afternoon, and temporary flight restrictions have been imposed west of Lake Louise.
The Tabert Lake fire was started by lightning on July 31 and is burning in a sparsely populated area west of Lake Louise and Little Lake Louise. Smoke has been visible in the western part of the basin, according to reports Thursday from state and federal fire managers.
Weather conditions have been unusally hot and dry, and firefighters have been attacking the fire with airplanes dropping retardant and water. By Thursday, the fire was considered "mildy active" on its western perimeter, with the fire smoldering within the perimeter, according to Maggie Rogers, a spokeswoman for the state Division of Forestry. Forecasts are calling for cooler, damper conditions through next week, which should slow the fire, she said in an update emailed on Thursday afternoon.
Flight restrictions are in place over the fire to 5,000 feet, and doesn't include the Lake Louise airstrip, Rogers said.
An incident command center has been set up at The Point Lodge on Lake Louise Road, and a public meeting for residents is set for Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Lake Louise Lodge.
Updates on the fire are being posted at: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/3644/

rooney is a great premier league player,he's just not a great w orld cup player.not many people are.what did messi,ronoldo,torrez and frank lampard do?nothing special.but week in week out we get the best of wayne rooney.he play's with passion,pride,and a fighting spirit which many english player's don't have.rooney was not the problem in south africa,the whole england squad was the problem.when are we going to admit it that we are just not good enough at the international level.teams like brazil,argentina,italy and germany have it,we don't.

Now Wayne Rooney is a good player but he inst a great player who can literally destroy an opposition single handedly. Secondly English Media and Fans should get a reality check done, Stop the unnecessary pressure on the team and false expectations. England got kicked out of the world cup last week and now people are predicting a team for 2014 and expecting them to do well. Its 4 years and that's a long time. We may prolly see even see only 3-4 players from the current crop it all depends how the coach and team develop over the next 2-3 years. Now I would like all the premier league fans and lover get down from there high horse and see the stark reality. Worst Performers of WC 2010 till date. Rooney- English Premier League Lampard- English Premier League Gerrard - English Premier League Torres- English Premier League Terry- English Premier League Anelka- English Premier League Evra- English Premier League Italian Team is on that list but they had a retirement squad and scored more goals than England. Now lets see the Best Performers of WC 2010 till now: Villa- La liga Messi- La liga Ozil- Bundes Liga Sneijder- Seria A Higuain- La Liga Schweinsteiger-Bundes Liga The only player that made an impact from premiership can be Tevez. Now when the entire league produces a fail how can you expect the home country of such a league to win the world cup. England should look for 2018 resurgence but for that they need to add budget cap and foreign player limit to the clubs and in 8 years England may make it to semis and considered as a decent footballing country.

A few questions answers this, did the way england play compliment rooney, did any player give him the service either from crosses or through balls, did he have more than 1 chance created for him in all 4 games. The Answer is NO, NO, NO. Is that down to him?, i think not.

For Wayne Rooney read John Barnes. Whilst i love Wayne when he is belting them in for my team i can't help but feel he will only look world class against lesser opposition in qualifiers or friendlies. He doesn't seem to produce on the biggest stage or the matches that matter for England. Also, my fellow Utd fans pleeeease stop this 'us against the world' mentality. Rather than give a constructive view on someones comment, if it involves Rooney or any of our players it's always the same 'what about Gerrard?' or 'what about Lampard?' or 'what about Terry?' You can see my point, it's why everyone hates us, we don't show any grace when we win, are awful losers and rather than articulate an argument on this topic we just mud sling at other clubs. It's so childish! Wayne is a forward, he was taken to the World Cup as someone to score goals, how many did he score? NONE! I don't agree that he should get all the blame but certainly should be responsible in part as our perceived No 1 striker scored no goals. I hope i'm wrong but i can see our generations John Barnes appearing before my eyes, awesome for his club (i'm sure he'll lead us to another title next year) but doesn't quite cut it for his country. Prove me wrong Wayne please!

Another failed exit from another World Cup - the dejection of millions, the out of pocket expenses whilst the players, their wifes and the other baggage of coaches, therapists are more likely to be sitting on a beach dreaming of their next lucrative club contracts. The same old story - well I feel it is time for the fans to make a protest to the players but more importantly to the FA - boycott england internationals - if the fans don't attend the games then surely the FA have to take notice - the national team development has to be fundamentally revamped from the bottom right through to the top, including the FA itself - it must be right that the national team takes precedence over all other levels of football and that the league clubs are dragged screaming and kicking to that development - the fans need to start a revolution - the FA will be the target - let the england internationals take place - but let the fans (both stadium and TV) send a shockwave through the establishment by boycotting the games - maybe the pulling power of failed receipts will make the change - but also the boycott display by the fans, I hope this short message may find its way to the millions of so many disappointed fans (young or old) - let the internet send the message clear and loud to the FA - the rest is up to fans.

Eric Ng (Liverpool fan) says...
Why Rooney did not perform well in the World Cup is because he is not world class, simple as that. He may have scored many goals in the EPL because MU is a top side in it. The build up to the attacks are already done by the team and he only need to be in position to place the ball at the back of the net. MU play teams like Portsmouth, Burnley, Hull, West Ham, etc, in the EPL, compare to teams like Germany, USA, Brazil, Argentina, Holland or Spain in the World Cup. Unless you are really of world class, like Maradona in 1986 where he single handedly won the Cup for Argentina, you can never really do well in this kind of tournament. The same apply to Ronaldo,Torres and Messi, how many goals did they score, they were all marked out of their games by their opposing teams. So all those people out there I hope you really know the meaning of "World Class" before you labelled it on any player.

As per usual the english look for a scape goat! it couldnt be the fact that for the past 4 world cups the media have completely over hyped englands chances and in some cases players.rooney is undoutedly world class and anyone who cant see that does not know football.Compared to spain,brazil,holland,argentina england are average.this golden generation are not as golden as you keep making out and putting unfair pressure on your best players is never going to make them preform better.MERSE: your comments finally prove you haven't got a clue or that your just saying things to shock people into responding to you so you can keep your job at sky!joker.

Jamie Ross (Fulham fan) says...
Can we please stop the pseudo analysis of England's failure in the World Cup. Yes we have the players who should have been able to challenge far better than they did. Although we only have three world class players Ashley Cole, Gerrard and Rooney but there are others in the squad who are more than capable of playing on a world stage. There was a major problem with the atmosphere around the team rather than the quality of individuals play. This is not down to Capello. The obvious reason is the hold the cronies in the FA have on the England team. Why the hell was David Beckham hanging about the place? Oh I forgot he's worth a lot in endorsements, nothing to do with his capabilities as a footballer or leader of men. Same reason he was England captain, I thought weżd got rid of him. ALSO a major problem with attitude is the power John Terry thinks he has. It was unfortunate that Rio got injured but Terry was going to be a negative influence whoever was captain in South Africa. He should never have been taken. We would have had a much better chance with a combination of Dawson, Carragher or Upson in central defence. Terry is an arrogant, ignorant moron, but then so are a lot of the hangers on at the FA. We will never move forward until all of them are removed from the vicinity of our national team. Wayne Rooney (along with others) will play well when football becomes the main aim again. And finally, Joe Cole I'm surprised at you I didn't think you were so shallow or stupid to be manipulated by a brainless wimp like Terry so easily.

Kevin Rommel (Chelsea fan) says...
1) TACTICS - First of all the England team is not without its flaws. As talented as the likes of Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Terry and A.Cole are, you need to have a balance in the team. Pushing Gerrard out wide to the left was a waste of talent. Pushing the defence up so high against a young and quick German team was a no-no. 2) PLAYERS - Knowing the fact that they will always be in the limelight and targets for the paparazzi, they should have conducted themselves off the field much better. I for one do not believe that they lacked the motivation to succeed in the World Cup, but their off field matters became a huge distraction to their preparation. 3) MEDIA - The English media is probably one of the biggest culprit in the failure of the team. First they publish all kinds of positive news to put these players up on the pedestal. But at the same time, they would be trying to dig out all sorts of dirt, or create a negative storm about the same players by means, we could say are less than ethical. And then they exaggerate the negativity as though these players had just started world war 3 until the players are overwhelmed and are unable to concentrate on the field. The pressure they inflict on the players is just stupid. Always twisting the words of the players just to sell a few more copies. And after all the damage done, they dare to come out and say "Yes, we are behind the England team!"??? Yeah, just like you are behind England's bid to host the World Cup as well. 4) FANS - Cheers the team when they are winning. Encourages the team when they are losing. Most England fans managed to do the first part, but many fail at the latter. Again increasing the negative atmosphere.

Never thought I'd agree with a Man Utd fan, but Barry Roach has exactly nailed EVERYTHING that is wrong with the English Football mentality. Every scribe in Fleet Street should be embarassed that Barry has, in that short post given a better analysis of our failings, than our sports journos ever could. What was one of their reactions? Make David Beckham manager. FFS

Matt Cooper (Manchester United fan) says...
In response to Mr Champstix, the idea that Rooney choked is total and utter nonsense! This is a player who has shouldered an unfair and massive burden at Manchester United all season in some of the biggest games that any player could play in. Milan in the San Siro and against yourselves at the Emirates are two quick examples. The formation that Capello decided to go with was at the heart of many of England's problems. Gerrard - ineffective to a large degree due to his position on the left. Lampard - troubled by the requirement for him to put in a defensive shift more often than he does for chelsea. Barry - over reliance on him led to him becoming stifled as well. Rooney - too easily marked and forced to stifle his creativity for the discipline of the shape the team were playing. These are all faults with the system and not the players, unless you really believe they all choked when the occasion came? I am not suggesting for one moment that the players should be absolved of criticism but lets be honest, they have not become bad players overnight so something in that set up at the WC did not suit them and I personally believe that the formation and perhaps Capello's rather archaic style of management were to blame. If Mr Capello can learn from his mistakes then he should be kept on, but if he intends to continue in the manner he has at this WC then maybe his time has come to an end. Btw Mr Champstix your comment about Blackburn and Bolton being too physical is also total rubbish but as an Arsenal fan who has been hearing that propaganda from Mr Wenger for quite some time now I expected nothing less.

Tom Worgan (Bristol City fan) says...
Rooney "over rated" i think not. Us English spend 4 years slaging off the England team on and off the pitch, then when we finally quilify for a world cup we all act as if we are going to win it. In the last 5 world cups we have hilighted a player to take us to the final we build them up only to knock them down when they dont perform or get sent off. The simple fact is there are 23 players and we need the team to perform not one player. Rooney feeds on good service, Basic football= team create a chance and striker finishes the chance, (well not in Heskeys case) if the team cant even create a chace for its strikers then how are they going to win. We love to blame something in this country and i was as upset as any Englishmen when the goal was not given, not because it would have made a difference but because it gave us something else to blame. we have got The Ball The formation and now the linesmen. None of these are to blame the fact is the 3 teams in our WC group would not have quillified out of our Europe quilifing group and yet we still could not beat them. It should not matter who you play or where they play against Algeria the team should create at least 1 chance but we didnt do enough. Rooneys Fault NO England not good enough, us fans blinded by 1966 and hype YES

Abdullahi Ali (Arsenal fan) says...
I think a lot of issues caused England team not to perform well.I have no doubt that many of you will agree with.look at these examples, a)The stripping of captaincy from John Terry.He didn't play to his best in order to revenge against Capello.I am sure England team didn't play as a team.we need players to come out and say what happened like the French team.b)capello short of communication with players due to his attitude not put effort to learn English language and lack to understand questions being asked by journalist.how do you expect him to understand the players.c)capello selection was a joke for example he left walcott ,didn't play Peter Crouch when he is the leading scorer international matches for England d)why did he pick Heskey.why did FA suck Erickson when capello is playing same style.e)capello picked injured players when he said he will not f)why play Gareth Barry when Carrick is on the bench g)why play Upson instead of Caragher for Germany game.you why because he didn't trust himself and fear of elimination if change the team from slovanian game......I had alot of respect for capello but not anymore.In a nutshell FA is to blame because they don't trust English managers.I 100% sure any English manager could do better than that.what we saw was humilation.....

Shahum Murad (Manchester United fan) says...
Answer for Mr. Arthur Brian As per Mr. Arthur, i feel all the fault is in Rooney's performance as he said whatever the manager do a technical giftted player makes something out of nothing. He is right, but today's football is not that football where one player can win you the world cup. Look how all the so-called stars Messi, Ronaldo, Dgorba, Torress have tasted failures. Today's football ins about formation, i believe if Gerrad has played behind Rooney as support striker then England had gone thru. Just to remind, Mr. Arthur - what happened to Mr. Solid of premmier league (John Terry) against Germany - he was caught sleeping on every time the Germans got the ball in English half. Can i ask where did his technical ability went???

Neville Gounder (Manchester United fan) says...
I think Capello got it wrong with his team selection .1) He is the only who cant see that Lamps and Gerrard cant play together.2) there was no creative player in the middle i.e Carrick would have done a better job than barry.3) Crouch should have started against Germany . There was no width in all the games . As for Rooneys performance it was down to no supply , no creativity so dont point fingers at one person.

Sam George (Aston Villa fan) says...
To say that Rooney doesn't have international calibre is disrespectful. He plays against some of the best players in the world in the premiership, and in the champions league, and has scored 34 goals this season. That is impressive. That is top quality. He wasn't just unfit or misused - he was miscontrolling the ball, failing to get fairly simple shots off. There was something wrong in his mindset, as there was for Lampard (although he was never going to play that well for England anyway) and most of the England team. Rooney has the potential to be among the best in world, it's that simple, and trying to deny that simply shows you've never seen him play. He normally plays with such passion and drive that defenders are scared to mark him, it's not about his rough play, but he wouldn't do it here. I'll admit, on his day, Steven Gerrard is better than Rooney (easily in the top 5 in the world), but Gerrard was being unselfish for a large part and using his ability to help create chances for Rooney (although Gerrard was about 8/10 for his normal ability, that's still world-class). The fact is, Rooney had a lot going for him, and the circumstances were enough for him to play at at least an 8/10 level as well, but he didn't. That means it's down to him, and the only thing people haven't suggested is his mindset.

Jason you're spot on. i have to entirely agree with you on that. I mean at the end of the day it is a team sport. It is true every team need a special player to lift them to a higher level but at the end of the day if the team is disjointed and without the ideal team formation, no way you can get the best out of your special players. Personally, i just feel other good english players esp gerrard and terry should have contributed more to share the load from rooney. They simply shipped in 4 goals not because of Rooney but the defence. so i don't think Rooney should be crucified by english fans though he did underperformed. At the end of the day the team and esp the manager, being the chief of the lot should shoulder the blame. Pele, Maradona, Messi performed brilliantly because they had the support from the team but rooney was void from that. So spare Rooney the rod guys

Lee Champstix (Arsenal fan) says...
Rooney Choked, he couldn't handle the pressure, that's it. Injury is not a question, he performed with Man Utd, with injuries towards the end of the season, and he always performed out left for United - so position is not an excuse. The Premiership is officiated differently from the rest of Europe, and World football, and Rooney's & Englands game suffered. You can't just bully people off the ball in World football, the likes of Bolton & Blackburn would finish with 7 or 8 men. The team as a whole didn't click, and there was definately some personality clashes. I believe John Terry shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the squad. For all his qualities the negativity he brings is far to damaging.

Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and their families. Founded by the mother of two American soldiers, we have hundreds of thousands of volunteers assisting veterans, wounded and deployed personnel and their families in a variety of unique and effective ways. Soldiers' Angels responds quickly to requests for support and provides individualized, immediate assistance. It is a "one-on-one, get it done quickly" organization. Our volunteer Angels at home adopt individual deployed troops and stay in touch throughout their deployment. Wounded soldiers and their families are asked what they need, and Soldiers' Angels responds in a hundred different ways: voice-activated computers; financial assistance for loved ones to stay with their wounded family member; phone cards to call relatives who can't visit as often as they wish, etc. Both the organization and the program have grown, but, unfortunately, the needs of our deployed soldiers and their families are growing even faster. This is especially true for our young men and women who are wounded. The government is providing first-class medical care for our wounded soldiers, but it will never be able to provide all of what they deserve and so many services desperately needed by their families. Soldiers' Angels works closely with the Department of Defense, the nation's major veterans groups and a variety of other military support organizations to make sure these brave young men and women who are being helped.
Target demographics:
the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, their families, and Veterans of all eras.

Reviews for Soldiers' Angels
I first found this organization back in 2007 and I have adopted many soldiers. This is an awesome organization that offers so much support to our troops. There are so many different ways that you can get involved with and it is such a great feeling. I have several family members that have joined as well. I love this organization!
I have been with Soldiers Angels for about 6 months now and I love it. It is a wonderful program that supports our Troops. There are many different options available to show your support. You can write letters, send care packages, send birthday cards or much more. I have always been a vocal supporter of our brave men and women of the Armed Forces but now I get to put my "money where my mouth is", so to speak. No matter what your income this organization allows everyone to participate in helping and showing love to those who protect us everyday. I am so glad I found Soldiers Angels and I tell everyone I can about it as well. I have received many letters and emails from my soldiers and they express their gratitude and love. It is very rewarding.
I learned about Soldiers Angels from a relative from another state via Facebook. She has been an angel for a couple of years. I was really impressed about how easy it was to sign up to become an angel volunteer. This is just the end of second calendar month for myself, but I have already found opportunities to join angel teams that fit with my skill sets and talents. It has been straight forward and there are plenty of other angel volunteers to help via Facebook when I had questions. I had no problems finding an assignment that allowed me to make an item for a deployed soldier's family. I am working on making my next item for a military member or their family.

I have been apart of this organization for over a month now and I can't be more pleased with being apart of this amazing group. I haven't done this for a long time, but its amazing on how everyone makes me feel welcome and helps out with questions and everything. It makes my heart feel full knowing that a simple letter can make all the difference to these amazing individuals that willingly give there life to give us our freedom. I have always been appreciative for their service, but telling them in a letter is awesome. Especially for the fact you don't know them personally and you can make them feel and know you care.
Baking for the deployed soldiers & sending care packages fulfills me & I hope it makes the day of that deployed soldier just a bit brighter, helps them get through their day a little easier & realize that there are people who revere them and the dangerous & deadly jobs they do. Those soldiers are the true superheroes as are their families & friends waiting for those soldiers to come home hale & hearty. One soldier I recently sent a baked goods care package to never received it, as he lost his life before it could get to him, his widow and 2 young children did. I received his widow's email informing me of his death and thanking me for my support to her deployed husband. My reply email was the hardest thing I have ever had to write. I then notified my Team Leader and she got things going to connect with the soldier's widow with the various services Soldiers' Angels offers military families. Soldiers' Angels has programs for every aspect of a soldier's life and a soldier's family's life. Soldiers' Angels is a fantastic organization & I am proud & humbled to be allowed to be part it.
I have been a dedicated Verified Angel since 2007. I have received some of the most heart warming as well as heart breaking letters from the Service Members I have adopted. I've seen them through break ups, child birth while deployed, loss of brothers in arms and every other situation. I have read the letters and have laughed and cried. I remember when these guys were no where near Internet or cell towers. I have received flags that were in planes on bombing missions, deployment coins and battalion patches. I treasure it all. I will continue until they are all home. I let them know they are appreciated for their dedication and service. I feel safe.

As a member of this organization, I chose it because it was shortly after 9/11 and I needed a proactive, non-political outlet. Since that time, I have sent many weekly letters of support to the soldiers I have adopted, cards thru the card support team to touch a stranger in times of joy, grief, or congratulatory. So many have written that bc of Soldiers' Angels "I can go out and do what I do, knowing that we are not forgotten.". So many have said that with technology the skype or rare home call does not give the same lasting feeling of support as a hard copy and the morale boost when their name is called for mail call. "I had my head down but seeing my name on the mail call roster, lifted it...I can not tell you how much the letters mean to the troops here. We feel that people think the war is over and we are all home.". One said she disciplined her letters to "opening only one a day to keep the joy lasting as long as the letters were opened." The organization has expanded thru the years to now include family, Veterans, Caregivers (Women of Valor) that are committed to 24/7 care of 9/11 survivors or military related long term health issues. Fischer House is also supported thru their needs Going beyond the Letter writing with quilting, baking, crafting utilizing so many talents has made this a broad spectrum of a rainbow for those of WW2 thru todays active duty and retired. With the suicide at 20 a day, I only wish the needs of all who need a stranger to say "You are not forgotten" You are our Nation's treausred". .It is with great pride that I say I am a Soldiers Angel.

I have been a member since 2004, and have found that taking a few minutes out of my week, it allows me to provide a smile to many deployed. It encompasses not only care packages but for some adoption of an individual who is in need of greater morale support, chaplains with supplies, medics with a break-away from their stress, K-9 teams with additional grooming supplies, treats and toys, Ladies of liberty with a touch of pink and magazines of interest, Wounded Warriors with encouragement as well as Fischer Houses, Ladies of Valor (care-givers from 9-11 and beyond) morale support, with our Bakers Team and Knitters, Birthdays and holidays are sweeter, Military families struggling with operating on "Hold" support and morale. Veterans in homes or Homeless, gifts, treats, care packs, This is for the on-going or the ONE-Time either in groups such as church or classroom, youth groups or companies as well. Quilters donate lap blankets for the immediate transport when belongings are left behind. If you can read, write, reach out and bring a smile, this is the organization that provides so many avenues. Making mail-call an event instead of a reminder of where they are. This is NOT a statement of politics just a reaching out from the heart.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Have more youth groups and classrooms aware of the opportunity to "Pay it forward", in a one time or ongoing adoption.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
What an awesome organization! As a veteran myself, I know how much it is appreciated to hear from people knowing they are thinking of you, and supporting you while going thru deployments, holidays, hardships, and anything else. This organization puts you in touch with soldiers, and soldiers families who are in need. I am so very proud to be volunteering, and donating what I can to make a difference. This is a great organization to get involved with if you are looking to donate.
I am a volunteer with this organization and know many of the leaders from other activities we have shared. This is a lean, spunky, passionate, grassroots organization that has mobilized "any average American" ,and some pretty amazing ones, too; to support our veterans and their families. They exemplify the idea that anyone can help, we all can do something and it can make a huge impact on someone's life. To think that they have been doing this since 2003 is pretty amazing. Today they continue to evolve, grow and give!

DH and I have been married for 6 years and have a 3yr old DS. Birth experience with DS was horrible! 18 hrs of induced labor due to preeclampsia, 3 hours of pushing, emergency csection, boundary stomping from my mom, arguments between M/DH, me/MIL,M/MIL, and visitors for 10+ days. Needless to say, I had many issues establishing BFing and ended up EPing for 6 months before having to supplement with formula. I developed PPD and have carried around a huge guilt for the way DS entered into the world!
FF to now: we are expecting DD in Friday by RCS. DH and I have set many boundaries in place as to not have a repeat from DS. My mother, MIL, and FIL will be here to meet DD and care for DS while we are in hospital. They have all been put on notice of our expectations and any deviations will not be tolerated. The problem is the rest of the ILs. Before we made our wishes known, AIL3 made the comment that they would all be here for the birth (we live 4 hours away!) and I explained that all visits needed to be discussed with DH. AIL3 made the comment "if daddy wants to come, I can't tell him no. He's getting old." I again directed her to DH and she has yet to discuss anything with DH. DH was on the phone with GFIL last nite and asked if they were coming up sometime after we were released from the hospital. He said he didn't know if he felt like it and may wait for us to just come to (hometown).
DH is crushed. GFIL is his father figure and our DS is named after him. GFIL and GMIL came to visit us after DS was born and we were 8 hours away from (hometown). As of now, we also have orders to move 8 hours was from (hometown) at the end of August and ILs have made numerous comments of how they hate it we have to move so far away. Yes, GFIL is not in the best health, but he is still able to mow the grass twice a week. DH and I both feel as if there is more to the story as to why they are not coming, but do not know how to address it.
So, my question is do I address it with MIL or AIL3? Do I let DH address his own family? There is so much more to the story, including me and DH being on LC with MIL for being disrespectful to us and me being on LC with GMIL for her pretty much saying I had to believe her explanation of an incident and call DS a liar and I refused!!! Also, ILs are extremely enmeshed. DH is the only one who has moved away and does not depend on anyone for anything. ILs have baby rabies when it comes to baby girls (yes, just girls) and were upset that I declined a 2nd baby shower as I do not believe in them for the 2nd child. I also have very different views on childrearing (BFing, cosleeping, BWing, reusing DS's things instead if buying all new pink stuff) and DH fully supports me. I was told they were purchasing my breast pump (our insurance does not cover one), but yet they have not given us one thing for DD. (not being bratty, I know it's their choice, but don't say you are going to do something and not do it).
Sorry this is so long, but I really don't know what to do. I feel horrible for DH and for DD already since they are treating her so differently from DS.

The Inversion
Sylvia Plimack Mangold's The Inversion is full of polarities: images compete with a void, geometry conflicts with nature, traditional landscape painting faces off against abstraction. The artist began The Inversion as a larger work, and it forms a narrative about the painting process: "The landscape originally stretched horizontally from left to right, side to side," she wrote. "I cropped it because it didn't work—the negation of some areas becomes a positive element in the support of the total picture." In other words, the void at the right is a kind of negative "inversion" of the positive landscape.

Bread Maker - Limited Warranty: 1 Year - Width: 14.1" - Height: 12.2" - Depth: 10.4" - Timer: Timer - Maximum Bread Capacity: 2 lb - Crust Selector: Crust Selectormore >> less >>
Brevilles Custom Loaf is perhaps the smartest bread maker ever. Fresh-baked bread has never been easier to make at home. A clever interface computes temperature and baking time when you make a selection, and a Turn and Confirm dial gets you started on any recipe in seconds. Maker also mixes dough for pizza, focaccia and pasta. The Custom Loaf allows you to select when you want the bread to be ready, and a dispenser automatically adds fruits and nuts at the appropriate time. Unlike conventional kneading paddles, this paddle collapses, preventing an indentation from forming in the bottom crust. Custom Loaf has 13 automatic and manual settings, including gluten-free and quick-bread settings, 3 crust color options, plus bake-only and jam functions. An easy-to-read backlit LCD display guides you through the process, and a handy viewing light lets you check on bread without opening lid. The 13-hour preset timer means you can wake up to fresh-baked bread in the morning, and a pause function allows you to hand-shape crusts and add glazes. The bread pan is nonstick for fast and easy cleanup.Master a variety of recipes and then try your hand creating your own signature breadthe machine stores your personal recipes for later use. The Custom Loaf makes 1-, 1-, 2- and 2-lb. loaves. A collection of bread recipes is included.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word...
I find it really hard to type about myself but this seems like the best place to find the high-quality girl I'm looking for so here it goes! I'm a loyal, family-oriented guy that has spent most of my life in the Hampton Roads area. My twin and I are the oldest of four brothers and we're a very tight-knit family. I graduated from CNU in 2009 with a BA in Business. Since then I've worked at the shipyard as a production planner, bought a house, and went back to school for my MBA. I live by the motto work hard, play hard. Now that all my free time isn't taken up by school, I like to go out and make the most out of life. During the summer you can find me at the oceanfront with my friends or going for a run with my dog Nelson. I also enjoy drives along the Colonial Parkway or wine tasting at Williamsburg Winery. I have a good sense of humor and pride myself on being a gentleman. Chivalry may be on life-support but it is certainly not dead. I would like to find a girl that shares my love of family, fitness and wine, someone who can hold an intelligent conversation and is wickedly funny. It would be awesome to find someone who I could go out and do anything with, or even just look forward to seeing at the end of a work day. If there is anything else you would like to know, just ask! I'm a pretty laid back guy so don't be afraid to drop me an email.

It's a monitor DPI thing. I had the same problem when I switched from driver build 769 to whichever build was after that one. With 769 and earlier, the nVidia X driver didn't report the DPI properly (and I thought it was just fine the way it was... whatever), so KDE 2 thought it was 75DPI. So its 14-point font was just about the right size for a window title.
When I went from 769 to whatever the next release was, the X driver did start reporting the DPI properly (it was closer to 100DPI than 75), so all of a sudden the KDE 2 14-point font got gigantic. So I made KDE use its 8-point font instead, which ended up being just about the right size.
Of course, I've since stopped using KDE, but DPI was my problem. Maybe it's something similar there? Can you make your desktop environment (or window manager, whichever one you run) use a smaller font for decorations?
You might also try looking at your font path (
xset q | grep X11R6
should tell you the current font path), and seeing whether the 75DPI font directory is in front of or behind the 100DPI font directory. Moving it behind the 100DPI directory (which is accomplished by removing it and then adding it at the end of the path) should help:
xset fp- /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/75dpi/
xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/75dpi/
If the xset q command doesn't print anything, then you're probably using xfs, the X font server. There's probably documentation somewhere on how to change which directories xfs looks for fonts in, and in which order, but I don't know where it would be, or how to do it. I don't use xfs...

Rojas believes iPod fans are motivated by the same desire to tinker that drove transistor radio fans to spend hours tinkering in their garages.
"When you have a device that so dominates its market like the iPod, it's only natural that people are going to focus a lot of attention and energy on it," said Rojas. "Whether it's writing about it, whether it's inspiring clothes, whether it's inspiring art, whether it's appearing in movies or on TV, whatever."
With more than 3.5 million iPods and iPod minis sold, Apple's pocket-sized marvel is still in charge of the digital music player market. But they may also be the victim of their own success as other electronics manufacturers, such as Sony, Rio and Creative, rush to get their piece of the digital music pie.
But don't bother telling Lynch about the next generation of players.
"We all should have iPods," Lynch said. "As an American, you should have an iPod."
Lynch says that due to the iPod's simplicity, portability and accessibility, Apple has found that perfect niche between doing too much and doing too little. Rival devices may win praise, but not from him.
"Every month CNET.com releases a new news story for the new 'iPod killer.' It's like, OK, it weighs more than the iPod, it's bigger than the iPod, the screen is bigger than the iPod, you know, everything is bigger. It'll drive your car and record your television — but nobody's buying them, because nobody's doing that," he said. "You have to get into their life, you can't add to it."
He also believes that iPod tweakers and accessory manufacturers have just scratched the surface when it comes to innovation.
Lynch says iPod fans should "hang in there — because next month, there'll be a way to make a margarita with the thing!"
