This loan will benefit small entrepreneurs such as Sra. Quintina. She says that this is the first time she has joined Pro Mujer after receiving an invitation from a friend who is also a member of the organization. Quintina currently has a business where she makes handicrafts out of wool and fabric. She started her business several years ago through her own initiative. Upon learning her techniques, she was able to open her workshop with a small amount of savings.
The loan she is receiving now will be used to increase her capital for buying wool and fabric. She acquires her supplies at the fairs in the city of Alto and then uses them to make the products she sells from her retail space. Working in this manner enables her to generate income to support her household. Quintina is in a common-law relationship and has seven children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, Quintina said that she enjoys the savings.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Quintina es integrante, ella indica que es la primera vez que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de artesanías en lana y tela; este negocio lo emprendió hace varios años, por iniciativa propia, al aprender la técnica y con un pequeño ahorro que tiene inicio su taller.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de lana y tela) que adquirirá de las ferias de la ciudad de El Alto y posteriormente a la elaboración lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener en lo posible a su hogar pues ella vive en unión libre y tiene siete hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gustan los ahorros.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

A rare watercolor study by the French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne will be auctioned at Christie's in New York soon. For over sixty years, the piece was thought to be lost, but was recently discovered in the home of a prominent Texas collector after he died. The piece is expected to sell for up to $20 million on May 1st as part of the auction house's "Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale", and is a study for "Card Players," one of Cezanne's best-known series, which was painted in the late 1800s. Vanity Fair reported in February that a single painting from the series sold earlier this year for over $250 million to anonymous collectors in Qatar.
In 2010, the five-painting series was exhibited in a traveling show by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Courtauld Gallery in London; the Guardian called it "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." The sketch up for auction this May was previously known from a black-and-white photograph, so this colorful discovery is sure to pique the interest of collectors.
The previous record paid for a single painting was in 2005; the New York Times reported that David Geffen sold Jackson Pollock's famous "5" painting for about $140 million to David Martinez, a prominent private art collector. Prior to that, the record was $135 million for Gustav Klimt's "Adele Bloch-Bauer I," which was purchased by Ronald S. Lauder earlier that same year, who then donated it to the Neue Gallery in New York.
Coming up: on May 2nd, an 1895 version of "The Scream" by the painter Edvard Munch is up for sale at Sotheby's and is expected to fetch a respectable $80 million.
Check out a roundup of pricey art sales in the slideshow below.
Vincent Van Gogh's "Irises" was painted right before his death in 1890. In 1987, "Irises" was temporarily the most expensive painting ever sold when Alan Bond snapped it up for $54 million. However, the collector realized he didn't have enough funds in the end, so it now hangs in the Getty Museum.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, "Dance at the Moulin de la Galette" (1876). In 2009, the painting sold for $78 million at Sotheby's, making it the fifth highest amount ever paid for a painting at auction at the time. Two versions of this painting exist. one resides at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and the smaller version was sold on May 17, 1990 to Ryoei Saito, a Japanese collector who was later arrested for attempting to bribe authorities.
"Garçon à la Pipe" ("Boy With A Pipe") is one of Pablo Picasso's best-known youthful works, and was painted when he was 24. On May 5, 2004 it sold for $104.1 million at Sotheby's.
The previous record price for a painting was $135 million for Gustav Klimt's "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer" which was purchased by Ronald S. Lauder and then donated to the Neue Gallery in New York.
Max Ernst's "The Stolen Mirror" sold for $16,322,500 -- tripling the previous record for the artist -- back in November 2011. The work was painted in 1941.
LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 23: Employees George Foren (L) and Matthew Fancy hold Banksy's 'Kate Moss 2005' at Bonhams on March 23, 2012 in London, England. The painting, estimated at GBP 30,000 - 50,000, USD 48,000 - 79,000, 35,000 - 59,000 euros forms part of the Urban Art Sale, which takes place at Bonhams on March 29, 2012.

(180 x 250 cm), Christie's London, Wednesday, February 16, 2011, Lot 58, Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction, Estimate: $310,000-450,000, Sold For: $1,769,505, Courtesy Christie's Images Ltd. 2011. As Bruce Helander writes, "It set two milestone records: being the first work of Brazilian contemporary art to reach the $1 million mark and also a career achievement for the artist (regrettably not such a common occurrence for female artists, no matter her homeland)."

Cyclist hit by deputy
By LeaAnne Klentzman
As dawn broke Friday morning a deputy constable was involved in a traffic accident with a teen on a bicycle near Katy in north Fort Bend County.
About 6:30 a.m., Friday morning, a Precinct 3 Deputy Constable was traveling south on Gaston Road at the intersection of Fry Road when a 9th grader from Seven Lakes High School, riding her bike to school, was hit by the Constable in the intersection.
A nurse was in one of the cars stopped at the intersection and was able to provide immediate medical attention. The girl was taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann with undisclosed injuries; her family was at her side shortly thereafter.
No further information was available at press time regarding her injuries. Precinct 3 Constable Rob Cook said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with this young lady and her family."
The Highway Patrol is working the accident; the report was not available at press time.

98 BitTorrent Users Sued Over The Company You Keep Movie
A company working on behalf of Voltage Pictures has recently litigated more alleged copyright infringers. This time, the movie they are suing fans over is the film "The Company You Keep".
A company working on behalf of Voltage Pictures has recently litigated more alleged copyright infringers. This time, the movie they are suing fans over is the film "The Company You Keep".
Canadian firm Dawn Riding Films Inc. has filed a lawsuit against 193 BitTorrent users who it accused of sharing the 2012 remake film Dawn Rider.
Earlier, Rightscorp was accused of sending mislead demand letters through the Canadian notice-and-notice system. Now, it seems the Canadian government has stepped in and told companies like Rightscorp to stop sending misleading demand letters.
Earlier this week, the Canadian notice-and-notice law took effect. Now, it seems that copyright holders are sending legal threats which contain false information about the legal reality in Canada.
While a lot has been happening between India censoring websites, file-sharing porn cases proceeding through courts in the US, and UK ISPs hijacking browser sessions, Canada has quietly seen new copyright laws come into effect.
Malibu Media was dealt with a setback in a file-sharing lawsuit against an alleged file-sharer. It was an interesting case where the defendant said that the hard drive failed and it had to be replaced. Malibu Media claimed that this act alone constituted destruction of evidence. The court disagreed with the assessment and denied their […]
Earlier this month, a court in Maryland has granted Malibu Media's motion "to initiate discovery to identify the John Doe Subscriber" who allegedly downloaded pornographic content on BitTorrent. What is interesting is the fact that this motion comes with strict conditions. All this really raises an age-old question, are these lawsuits against file-sharers really all […]
Last week, Swedish BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay, was shut down. While the hope for anti-piracy organizations was that the shut down would have a major impact on copyright infringement, it turns out, but an anti-piracy tracking company's own statistics, this was absolutely not the case.
Australia is currently in the process of putting together a proposed copyright reform law aimed at slowing file-sharing. While the good news is that the proposal would merely seek to slow the connection speeds of alleged file-sharers, the bad news is that the government is wanting to resort to Internet censorship by blocking alleged file-sharing […]
One of the latest copyright related lawsuits being filed in the US is currently catching a fair amount of interest. While users and developers have been the targets of litigation, it's not often that an ISP becomes the target of such litigation.

Are there any compatible trailers or such for a Strida?
It appears that one might possibly attach a lightweight trailer to that rack sort of deal on the back, or possibly to the seat stay. Since the thing has such a short wheelbase with the rider's weight so far backwards, there would be a bit of a problem with the bike doing a wheelie, however.

Farscape is one of the best space operas of the last twenty years. If you like space opera (wild guess about a commenter on a Star Trek forum: you do) consider it. It gets good around the stretch of episodes beginning with "Durka Returns", if you aren't sold on it by "Nerve", it is not for you.

I'm a huge fan of learning.
It's just that my brain is sooooo... small -- compared to the list of things I'm supposed to be learning right now.
This year I've become almost a MySQL DBA ninja -- against my will. I also learned a lot more about the design of a TCP stack than I ever wanted to know. And then there was learning the command line interface for our NAS.
Learning is awesome, but I just need a little less awesomeness in my life right now.

Wallabies Pick Faingaas, Beale to Face All Blacks in Tri-Nations
Australia made three personnel changes for the Aug. 7 Tri-Nations rugby Test against New Zealand, bringing the Faingaa twins and Kurtley Beale into the starting lineup.
Anthony and Saia Faingaa will start at inside center and hooker in place of Berrick Barnes and Stephen Moore, respectively. Beale takes over at full-back from Adam Ashley-Cooper, who switches to outside center to replace the injured Rob Horne.
The Faingaas and Beale were promoted after coming off the bench in last week's 49-28 defeat to the All Blacks in Melbourne. Another loss in Christchurch in two days would extend the Wallabies' losing streak to nine in a rivalry going back 107 years. That would match the record set between 1936 and 1947.
Barnes and Moore were named on the bench alongside winger Cameron Shepherd, who made his last Test appearance in July 2008 against France.
AUSTRALIA: Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Anthony Faingaa, Drew Mitchell, Matt Giteau, Will Genia, Richard Brown, David Pocock, Rocky Elsom (captain), Nathan Sharpe, Dean Mumm, Salesi Ma'afu, Saia Faingaa, Benn Robinson.
Reserves: Stephen Moore, James Slipper, Rob Simmons, Matt Hodgson, Luke Burgess, Berrick Barnes, Cameron Shepherd.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - An old West Virginia agency is getting a new name and a new status.
The state Division of Veterans' Affairs becomes the Cabinet-level Department of Veterans' Assistance on Friday. The change is among several from this year's legislative session that take effect July 1.
One new law beefs up the state Ethics Act. It sets a one-year lobbying waiting period for an array of public officials and staffers who remain on the job as of Friday. This new law also requires many officeholders and candidates to disclose details from their spouses' finances.
Another new law allows racing simulcast wagering at The Greenbrier resort. But another provision allows the state's four casinos to tap millions in lottery revenues for gambling machine upgrades. That was among the most controversial items this session.

Suddenly my iPhone 4S turned off. Upon restarting it, the Apple logo shows for a few seconds, then disappears after a fade to decreased brightness and stripes on the screen (looks like a display failure of some sort). It then boots again, without me touching it. This continues until I shut it off by holding down the Home and Power buttons simultaneously.
If I connected it to the computer while having iTunes open, it successfully booted and worked fine. I waited until it was fully charged, then removed it. It turned off again, spiraling into the same boot loop as before.
I did some reading here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and gave it a try by putting it in recovery mode. Then I tried restoring it, but as soon as the progress bar pops up on my iPhone, it shuts off. I get iTunes error '9'. It reboots and is once again in recovery mode.
I have no idea what's going on. It appears to be unrelated to my computer. Any suggestions? I live in Denmark and Apple support here isn't exactly great.
I'm on a Mac with the latest version of iTunes. I was running iOS 6.0 when it stopped working.

Christopher L. Eisgruber, Princeton University president
Throughout the University, from the staff to the trustees, members of the Princeton community have a deep commitment to being inclusive. We believe — and know from research — that having a diversity of perspectives is crucial for excelling in our mission of teaching and research, so we've invested in many initiatives to make the campus more welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
We are working to increase access to the campus literally — see our map of accessible routes and buildings (.pdf) — and figuratively, by abiding by a strong Equal Opportunity Policy. With continual attention and effort, we're aiming at making Princeton's campus demographics reflect the United States' vibrant, pluralistic society.

The Main Street
Favorite thing: The main street is lined with numerous shops, restaurants and saloons catering to visitors on their way to Yellowstone. The town is sort of charming with it's rustic, western facades.
Not all of these are on the main street but within the confines of the town:
28 - motels and bed and breakfasts
11 - restauarants & bars
33 - shops and services
- Road Trip
- Budget Travel
Big Sky Country
Favorite thing: The surrounding wilderness, rolling hills, pines, snow-capped mountains and wide open spaces was refreshing and attractive.
Driving to and from Gardiner we also saw bison and elk. Other wildlife sitings could include birds, antelope, bears, big horn sheep, coyotes, mule deer and wolves.
- Road Trip
- Eco-Tourism
Yellowstone touring cars
Favorite thing: A fleet of yellow touring cars are housed in Gardiner. They were manufactured by the White Motor Corporation of Cleveland. Drivers were known as "gearjammers" and were the best paid of concession employees.
They are still being used at some of the park lodges. We did see them at Lake Yellowstone Hotel.
- Road Trip
- National/State Park
great view
Favorite thing: i live there in the summer with my dad who works for the park so i would take someone wite water rafting it is the best place to go!! There are like 5 places to choose from but the 2 best are Yellowstone raft company and wild west rafting.
Fondest memory: Spending time there with my family!
- Family Travel
- Rafting
- Horse Riding
Cute little town at the edge of Yellow Stone Park
Favorite thing: The thing about Gardiner Montana is that it will let you stay just outside Yellow stone National park and allow you to save some money while visiting the park. There are also a number of outfitters that will take you fishing or white water rafting in the area.
Fondest memory: Just the cute western town look was pretty nice, the surrounding mountains provide a nice view also.

Supreme Court
Legislation trumps administrative regulation, left irate
Lost in the sound and fury coming from the left in reaction to the Supreme Court's decision in Hobby Lobby is this point, made in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle by Emmett C. Stanton: People choose to forget that when Obamacare passed so narrowly, it was in large part because the administration misled pro-life Democrats about its abortion and abortifacient coverage. The legislation never would have passed if »
Hobby Lobby and the shape of things to come
What are the implications of today's Hobby Lobby decision for challenges by non-profit religious institutions, such as the Little Sisters of the Poor, to Obamacare's mandate that they facilitate the free distribution of contraceptives and abortifacients to any of their employees who desire them? Professor Mark Rienzi, who together with the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty has been litigating these sorts of religious liberty cases against the Justice Department, offers »
Public employee unions not out of the woods yet
Conservatives hoped that the Supreme Court would take the opportunity presented by Harris v. Quinn to strike down a 1977 decision holding that full-fledged public employees "who choose not to join a public-sector union may nevertheless be compelled to pay an agency fee to support union work that is related to the collective-bargaining process." The Supreme Court did not do so. This does not mean, however, that the 1977 decision »
The Funniest Left-Wing Reactions to Hobby Lobby So Far
As Paul and I have already noted, the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision is carefully circumscribed and may or may not ultimately amount to much. ("Meaningless," is now appellate lawyer Mark Arnold described the decision.) But that hasn't stopped lefties (hardly any of whom have actually read the opinion, of course) from going crazy. The funniest reactions so far have come from lefties responding to the SCOTUSblog's Twitter feed. These »
Supreme misery for the left [or not]
The Supreme Court today issued its final two decisions of the term. One of them constitutes a clear defeat for the left. The other looks like a minor defeat. In the Hobby Lobby case, the Court held that closely held corporations cannot be required to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees. The five center-right Justices formed the majority for that proposition. In Harris v. Quinn, the Court, again with the »
Conservative Supreme Court Majority Prevails In Two Key Cases [UPDATE: Is Hobby Lobby So Narrow As To Be "Meaningless"?]
Today the Supreme Court issued its last two opinions of the term. Justice Alito delivered both opinions, and both were decided on 5-4 votes. Both decisions were eagerly awaited. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Court ruled that as applied to closely held corporations, the the contraceptive mandate imposed on employers by Obamacare violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. In Harris v. Quinn, the Court held that the First Amendment »
SCOTUS Smacks Obama Again, But . . .
Today's the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against the Obama Administration's abuse of the recess appointment power in NLRB v. Canning. Unanimous! And not for the first time. Think back to Sackett v. EPA two years ago, where a similarly unanimous Court ruled that the EPA had grossly exceeded its legal authority, or the Utility Air Regulatory Group decision on Monday, which, although 5 – 4, held that the EPA can't »
EPA Gets Smacked Around by SCOTUS
Today's Supreme Court decision in Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA is potentially a huge setback for the climatistas and the Obama administration's recent proposal to regulate greenhouse gases through the Clean Air Act, though it is a complicated opinion and will take a while to unravel. It is a typical 5 -4 ruling along the usual lines, but in some ways appears to be a 9 – 0 vote »
Brown v. Board and court worship
Those who believe the Supreme Court should take an "activist" approach often cite Brown v. Board of Education as an example of the Court's ability to do good where other institutions and the body politic come up short. It's a decent example, but not sufficient to make the general case. Keep in mind first that before giving us Brown, the Court gave us Plessy v. Ferguson. It upheld, by a »
A footnote on Brown
The principle of equal treatment without regard to race is one that is close to my heart. Accordingly, one of my favorite books on a legal subject is Andrew Kull's history The Color-Blind Constitution, a book I learned of at the time of its publication through Judge Alex Kosinski's 1993 New Republic review/essay. Professor Kull devotes two chapters to the separate but equal doctrine approved by the Supreme Court in »
Brown v. Board at 60
Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom rightly celebrate the 60th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education today in the Wall Street Journal, and while I join them in thinking it the correct outcome of the case, it is a source of lasting mischief that the Supreme Court, led by the dubious new Chief Justice Earl Warren, decided the case on entirely non-constitutional grounds–a sorry fact the Thernstroms note briefly. Say what? »
Justice Ginsburg: Abolish Mother's Day
The Left has been conducting an open campaign lately to persuade coerce Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose health has been shaky the last few years, to retire immediately so that President Obama can replace her with a high octane liberal while Democrats still have a majority in the Senate. Nothing speaks "confidence" in your prospects more than trying to push a loyal soldier out the door. So far »
The courts will not save us
George Will seems to me the preeminent political columnist of our era, with the possible exception of Charles Krauthammer. Will and Krauthammer are in a league of their own. Both are conservatives, of course, and you have to wonder who the liberals can put up against them. Tom Friedman? Maureen Dowd? Paul Krugman? E.J. Dionne? I don't know. I come to question Will, however, not to praise him. He has »
Eric Holder's idiotic praise of Justice Sotomayor
As I noted here, Justice Sotomayor dissented from the Supreme Court's decision upholding what should be a truism: the Constitution permits a state to prohibit race discrimination by public institutions. Sotomayor was joined by the ultra-leftist Justice Ginsburg. However, she failed to persuade the only moderately leftist Justice Breyer, who joined the 6-2 majority. Attorney General Holder calls Sotomayor's dissent "courageous." Her dissent is lots of things — verbose and »
The Constitution Is Still Constitutional, For Now
I think Scott was the first person I heard say that one day, the Supreme Court may rule the Constitution unconstitutional. That didn't happen yesterday, when the court decided the Schuette case on a 6-2 vote, but it could have. The issue in Schuette was whether it is permissible for a state to prohibit race discrimination by public institutions. The majority held that a state can indeed ban discrimination on »
Voters can bar racial discrimination by their government, for now
The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of a Michigan ballot initiative providing that the state, including state educational institutions, may not "discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting." It is shocking, but not surprising, that the constitutionality of such a proposition — which »

I think NG move back up to $4.20ish level into this report was a pre-mature move.....The MM`s may now change course with expectations of triple digit builds over the next 2-3 reports....NG has had a great run over the last 6 mths.......Just my opinion .....I`m also playing HND at current level for NG pullback to the $4.05-$4.09 level....maybe even to the $4.02ish level....

'Weirwolf' Eyes Endorsements After Paralympics Gold Rush
While David Weir won six medals at the 2004 and 2008 Paralympics, it wasn't until the British wheelchair racer claimed four more golds at this month's London Games that he started to be acknowledged in public.
The Paralympics, which finished Sept. 9, attracted record crowds and were broadcast live by the U.K.'s Channel 4. Weir completed a sweep of his four events by winning the T54 marathon on the final day. The sprint finish watched by thousands of spectators in central London followed his victories in the 800, 1,500 and 5,000 meters.
"To see of all of those people shouting out your name, it was amazing," Weir said in an interview at the London office of his sponsor Philip Green, the billionaire owner of U.K. fashion retailer Arcadia Group Ltd. "I get recognized now in the street. It's all very new for me but also very special."
The "Weirwolf," as Weir is known, was the most successful Paralympian of London 2012 alongside his team-mate Sarah Storey, who won four gold medals in cycling. They carried their nation's flag at the closing ceremony, where Rihanna and Coldplay performed in the Olympic Stadium.
Since starting in the shadows of the Rome Olympics in 1960, the Paralympics have grown from 400 athletes representing 23 nations to more than 4,200 competitors from 164 countries in London. A record 2.7 million tickets were sold for this year's edition, compared with 1.8 million at Beijing.
'Best Ever'
Philip Craven, president of the International Paralympic Committee, called the London games "the best ever" at the closing ceremony.
J Sainsbury Plc, the U.K.'s third-biggest supermarket chain, today extended its endorsement of the British Paralympic Association by four more years after "an incredibly successful games."
The extension will help "athletes, coaches and support staff build on their success in London and look forward to even greater medal success in Rio 2016," Chief Executive Officer Justin King said in an e-mailed statement.
In 2010, Sainsbury became the first stand-alone sponsor of the Paralympics in a deal the London Evening Standard at the time said was worth 20 million pounds ($32 million).
The British Paralympic squad broke its own record with 120 medals at London 2012, including 34 gold, and finished third on the overall medals table behind China and Russia.
Philip Green
The increased media attention for Paralympic sports may also boost both Weir's bank balance.
"We're seeing a massive shift in interest," Jamie Baulch, Weir's agent, said in an interview. "People have now really taken notice of Paralympic sports and started to take it seriously. Now, sponsors are starting to look at them, and saying, 'Actually, someone like David Weir is a world-class sportsman."'
Weir, born with a severed spinal cord, started competing when he was nine after a racing wheelchair was donated to his school. The softly spoken south Londoner with a tattoo on his chest that says "winner" in Japanese has two elder brothers who were talented amateur boxers.
Baulch, an Olympic silver relay medalist at Atlanta in 1996, said he's in talks with "a number of companies" about potential deals for the 33-year-old Weir, who endorses GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Lucozade drinks brand, carmaker Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Green.
"David has become a recognizable face during these games, and that makes him attractive for brands," Baulch said.
Philip Green started sponsoring Weir three years ago after the racer had a chance meeting while training in west London's Richmond Park with one of the Monaco-based billionaire's friends and told him he was still looking for a sponsor. Weir said Green is in touch regularly.
Blade Runner
Weir, who has won six gold, two silver and two bronze medals in his Paralympic career, credited South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius for raising awareness of Paralympic sports.
Known as "Blade Runner" because of his J-shaped carbon fiber legs, Pistorius last month became the first athlete on prosthetic limbs to compete in the Olympics. At the Paralympics, he won the 400-meter T44 final and lost his 100- and 200-meter titles.
"He still competed well in the Paralympics and he got beaten," Weir said. "It just shows you how fierce the competition is. People are now finally recognizing that Paralympic sport is great."

However, after buying this and using it for one month, I began to break out REALLY bad.

Incredible Coverage!With dark undereye circles, I had never left the house without using concealer. This covers enough to skip the concealer for daily stuff or errands!

My Reasons for Reporting This

hi guys ... which one would you choose... caught up in a dilemma here... thanks...
hi guys ... which one would you choose... caught up in a dilemma here... thanks...
I would have to say the Fox hands down its a superb fork, although I have heard good things about the Reba but its a Rock Shock! and they may of got better but Fox is still the forks to beat.
Don't know much about the Reba but I love my Vanilla.
Like a circus monkey on a stolen Harley......
which version of vanilla are u using... does it eat small bumps well?
I'm running a Vanilla R 100 and it eats small bumps like they don't even exist.Originally Posted by justin_merida
'My other bike is a bike.'
Go with teh Fox. Why? It looks cooler.
I run the 125r and it does very well on small bumps.I put in the stiff spring because it was diving off on steep decents and bottoming out on hits over 3 to 4ft.It's not as small bump sensative but still does very well and it steers great.
Like a circus monkey on a stolen Harley......
In my experience the Vanilla R 130 and the Reba are not necessarily comparable forks. The choice should be between the Vanilla R 130 and the new Pike. In this match-up, weight (The Vanilla is lighter) and adjustability (The Pike has more) are considerations. I've had the good fortune to try both and I would say it's a toss-up as far as ride quality and performance go, but the Vanilla's reliability is proven and the Pike is new. If the Pike holds up, then this time next year, riders will have two excellent, similarly priced 5+" travel XC forks to choose from.
thanks for the advice... has any one tried the new 2005 marz mx pro?? looks solid ...i m afraid that if i buy the reba the air seal will burst.. but i do mostly xc and very very slight free ride.... my weight is around 65 kilograms.... will there be a problem if i choose to go with the air fork?

I've been having trouble with the thumbnails on the Share previews of some of my articles: articles with assigned post thumbnails didn't show a thumbnail in the Share preview, but articles that didn't have a thumbnail assigned worked just fine.
After looking around in the plugin I noticed that for images that have an assigned post thumbnail, the
sfc-like.php and
sfc-share.php both grab the image like this:
$att = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumbid, 'full');
I'm thinking that this might be causing me problems because my full-sized images are huge and the Facebook code just decides to quit after a while. So I changed the line above to this in both files:
$att = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumbid, 'thumbnail');
And now my thumbnails work fine! If you think
thumbnail is too extreme, I think
medium would work too.
Also, there's another bug in the
sfc-like.php code that I wanted to point out... After grabbing the assigned post thumbnail, the code inserts it into the header like this:
<link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo $att[0]; ?>" />
When I think you actually meant to do this:
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $att[0]; ?>" />
Why am I posting here if I already solved my problem? The truth is that I love this plugin and I'd like to see these fixes integrated so that I don't have to keep hacking at it whenever there's a plugin update.

While six out of the 21 franchised NFL players remained unsigned as we get closer to training camp, one player that certainly hasn't gained much support amongst his peers, is Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
With the NFLPA sending a letter to the NFL stating that they believe the Saints haven't been bargaining in good faith and that Brees may be a victim of his stance during last year's lockout, some players and agents believe he has a "favored nation" status within the union.
"Nothing against Drew, but he's kind of become (the union's) fair-haired boy," said one franchised player per the Sports Xchange. The player also said that Brees is "like some kind of a Messiah or something."
Players shouldn't be mad at Brees, since he didn't have anything to do with the union's letter to the league, but it would be nice if they were represented in the same manner.

Maybe Banksy has been Christmas shopping and just out and about? Whatever the case, he has been quite busy, with pieces in London and Liverpool popping up over the past few weeks. He just did an ostrich head at the National Gallery and a nice comment about castles in the sky. Not really nice, but true.

Evol @ Pictures On Walls, LondonJuxtapoz // Tuesday, November 29, 2011
We have been huge supporters of German stencil aritst, EVOL, and his various projects this year. One in particular project, Rural City, completed in Hamburg, was both on our site and in our print magazine this year. So we love it when we see that Pictures on Walls is both showing Evol and writing, "big name for himself by painting lots of tiny windows."


text: This was the second time that I stayed at this hotel - I have always preferred this place, since this is very centrally located (about 10 minutes drive from the station), clean and great value for money. The rooms are really nice and the amenities are very nice. The staff really go out of their way to make you comfortable.... More

text: I don't own a 23CII, but a 45MXT. Is there w away to raise and lower the head between the negative stage? Your head might be too close to your negative. If you can raise the head away from the negative stage, you might get even coverage on your negative. Prof Pix may be right also about cosine fourth law of illumination falloff. Try tilting your meter towards the lens and you might get a brighter reading. To me, it's not a big deal since I burn in light areas of prints anyway.

Sphinx water erosion hypothesis
The Sphinx water erosion hypothesis contends that the main type of weathering evident on the enclosure walls of the Great Sphinx was caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall[1] that would have predated the time of Djedefre and Khafre, the Pharaohs credited by most modern Egyptologists with building the Great Sphinx and Second Pyramid at Giza around 2500 BC.[2] Egyptologists, geologists and others have rejected the water erosion hypothesis and the idea of an older Sphinx, offering various alternative explanations for the cause and date of the erosion.
R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, a French mystic[3][4] and alternative Egyptologist, first claimed evidence of water erosion on the walls of the Sphinx enclosure in the 1950s.[5] John Anthony West, an author and alternative Egyptologist, investigated Schwaller de Lubicz's ideas further and, in 1989, sought the opinion of Robert M. Schoch, a geologist and associate professor of natural science at the College of General Studies at Boston University.
From his investigation of the enclosure's geology, Schoch concluded the main type of weathering evident on the Sphinx enclosure walls was caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall.[1] According to Schoch, the area has experienced a mean annual rainfall of approximately one inch (2.5 cm) since the Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2134 BC), such that, since Egypt's last period of significant rainfall ended between the late fourth and early 3rd millennium BC,[6] the Sphinx's construction must date to the 6th millennium BC or 5th millennium BC.[7][8][9]
Schoch further notes the same heavy precipitation-induced weathering as seen on the walls of the Sphinx enclosure is also found on the core blocks of the Sphinx and Valley Temples, both known to have been originally constructed from blocks taken from the Sphinx enclosure when the body was carved.[10] Though the presence of extensive 4th Dynasty repair work to the Sphinx and associated temples is acknowledged by such Egyptologists as Lehner and Hawass, Schoch contends: "Therefore if the granite facing is covering deeply weathered limestone, the original limestone structures must predate by a considerable degree the granite facing. Obviously, if the limestone cores (originating from the Sphinx ditch) of the temples predate the granite ashlars (granite facings), and the granite ashlars are attributable to Khafre of the Fourth Dynasty, then the Great Sphinx was built prior to the reign of Khafre."[10]
Colin Reader, a British geologist, agrees that the suggested evidence of weathering indicates prolonged water erosion. Reader found, inter alia, that the flow of rainwater causing the weathering had been stemmed by the construction of 'Khufu's quarries',[11] which lie directly "upstream" of the Sphinx enclosure, and therefore concludes that the Sphinx must predate the reign of Khufu (2589–2566 BC), and certainly Khafra, by several hundred years. Reader disagrees with Schoch's palaeometeorological estimates, and instead concludes that the Sphinx dates to the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150–2686 BC).[12][13] To explain the disproportionate size of the head compared to the body, Reader, as does Schoch, also suggests the head of the Sphinx was originally that of a lion and recarved sometime later in the likeness of a pharaoh.[14][15]
Similarly, David Coxill, a geologist working independently of both Schoch and Reader, has concluded from the evidence of weathering in the enclosure that "[t]he Sphinx is at least 5,000 years old and pre-dates dynastic times [before 3100 BC]."[16]
Response of Egyptologists and archaeologists[edit]
Zahi Hawass, former Egyptian minister of state for antiquities affairs and secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, was asked in an interview on the PBS series NOVA if it was possible that a more ancient civilization might have sculpted the Sphinx. Hawass replied: "Of course it is not possible for one reason …. No single artifact, no single inscription, or pottery, or anything has been found until now, in any place to predate the Egyptian civilization more than 5,000 years ago."[17] This reasoning and conclusion was supported in a similar NOVA interview by Mark Lehner, another senior Egyptologist.[18] Other archaeologists who have made similar criticisms include Kenneth Feder.[19]
A different argument used by Egyptologists to ascribe the Sphinx to Khafra is the "context" theory, which notes that the Sphinx is located in the context of the funerary complex surrounding the Second Pyramid, which is traditionally connected with Khafra.[20][dead link] Apart from the Causeway, the Pyramid and the Sphinx, the complex also includes the Sphinx Temple and the Valley Temple, both of which display the same architectural style, with 100-tonne stone blocks quarried out of the Sphinx enclosure. A diorite statue of Khafre, which was discovered buried upside down along with other debris in the Valley Temple, is claimed as support for the Khafra theory. Reader agrees that the Sphinx Temple and Valley Temple are closely associated with the Sphinx, as is the Causeway and even part of the Khafra Mortuary Temple, but suggests this evidence merely indicates these structures also predate Khafra and does not link the Sphinx in any way to Khafra. Rainer Stadelmann, former director of the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo suggests Khufu, Khafre's father, was the builder of the Sphinx [21] and contends Khafra's Causeway was built to conform to a pre-existing structure which he concludes, given its location, could only have been the Sphinx.[12] Dr. Lehner's official website also offers a similar argument based on an Archaeological sequence of structures built in the area. Lehner points to the way several structures in the area incorporate elements from older structures, and based on the order in which they were constructued concludes that the archaeological sequencing does not allow for a date older than the reign of Khafra.[22]
Hawass points to the poor quality of much of the Giza limestone as the basis for the significant erosion levels. He has concluded, from the present-day rapid rate of erosion on the Member II surface of the Sphinx, that "[t]he eleven hundred years between Khafre and the first major restoration in the Eighteenth Dynasty, or even half this time, would have been more than enough to erode the Member II into the deep recesses behind Phase I restoration masonry".[23] Schoch states that other structures and surfaces on the Giza Plateau are made from the same band of limestone as the Sphinx enclosure, but they do not show the same erosion as the walls of the Sphinx enclosure.
Peter Lacovara, an Egyptologist and curator at the M. C. Carlos Museum in Emory University, assigns "some of the erosional features" on the enclosure walls to quarrying activities rather than weathering, and states that other wear and tear on the Sphinx itself is due to groundwater percolation and wind erosion.[24]
Response of other geologists[edit]
Some geologists have proposed alternative explanations for the evidence of weathering in the Sphinx enclosure.
One of the alternative erosion mechanisms proposed is called haloclasty. Moisture on limestone will dissolve salts, which are then carried by percolating moisture into the spaces inside the porous limestone. When the moisture dries the salt crystallises, and the expanding crystals cause a fine layer of surface limestone to flake off. It is accepted by Schoch et al. that this mechanism is evident in many places on the Giza Plateau. One proponent of the haloclasty process is Dr James A. Harrell of the University of Toledo, who advocates that the deep erosion crevices were caused by the haloclasty process being driven by moisture in the sand that covered the carved rock for much of the time since it was exposed by quarrying.[10] Lal Gauri et al.[25] also favour the haloclasty process to explain the erosion features, but have theorised that the weathering was driven by moisture deriving from atmospheric precipitation such as dew.
Analysis of the Sphinx's bedrock by the Getty Conservation Institute (1990-1992) concluded that "Continual salt crystallization, which has a destructive effect on the stone, would explain at least some of the deterioration of the Sphinx."[26][27]
Haloclasty is rejected as an explanation for the vertical erosion features by Schoch et al. because it doesn't explain all the visible evidence, namely that the water erosion features are not evenly distributed, being concentrated in those areas that would have been particularly exposed to running water, whereas the haloclasty process should have operated evenly on all exposed limestone surfaces.[10] Similarly, Schoch points out that the alternative explanations do not account for the absence of similar weathering patterns on other rock surfaces in the Giza pyramid complex which were cut from the same limestone beds.[8]
Reader, who agrees that the Sphinx predates Khafra but prefers a construction date within the Early Dynastic Period, points to the tombs dug into the enclosure walls during Dynasty XXVI (c. 600 BC), and notes that the entrances of the tombs have weathered so lightly that original chisel marks are still clearly visible. He points out that if the weathering on the enclosure walls (up to a metre deep in places) had been created by any of the proposed alternative causes of erosion, the tomb entrances would have been weathered much more severely.[28]
It is also agreed that wind erosion has played a significant role in eroding the Sphinx. Schoch states that wind erosion forms distinctive horizontal bands, whereas the water erosion features are clearly vertical.[10]
Response of climatologists[edit]
Recent studies by German climatologists Rudolph Kuper and Stefan Kröpelin, of the University of Cologne suggest the change from a wet to a much drier climate may have come to an end around 3,500-1,500 B.C., which is as much as 500 years later than currently thought. Egyptologist Mark Lehner believes this climate change may have been responsible for the severe weathering found on the Sphinx and other sites of the 4th Dynasty. After studying sediment samples in the Nile Valley, Judith Bunbury, a geologist at the University of Cambridge, concluded that climate change in the Giza region may have begun early in the Old Kingdom, with desert sands arriving in force late in the era.[29]
Schoch points out that mudbrick mastabas on the Saqqara plateau about 20 km away, indisputably dated to Dynasties I and II, have survived relatively undamaged, which he believes indicates that no heavy rainfall has occurred in the region since the Early Dynastic Period, and nor was any heavy rain anticipated by those Early Dynastic Period communities who built those structures.[30]
Reader replied to this, stating that they "were built on an area of high ground and do not lie within any natural catchment. These tombs will not, therefore, have been exposed to any significant run-off." He concludes that "the fact that they are not significantly degraded, as Schoch has pointed out, demonstrates that rainfall itself has not been a significant agent of degradation in Egypt."[28]
