Spanish Tech Startup Founded by a Woman Wins International Prize
Last month saw the international DigiBIC Award presented to a Spanish startup led by a woman. The competition was part of the 20th European Business & Innovation Centre Network (EBN) Annual Congress, which focused on emerging areas and new trends of business applications in creative industries.
The DigiBIC competition rewards creativity and digital applications in 6 different categories.
When presenting the award to software development startup Andante, judges praised the strong steps taken in creating the company; the innovative nature of the project; the participation of women in the creation of the company; as well as the young ages of the promoting team members.
This win validates the competitiveness of Spanish entrepreneurs, as well as the innovation and creativity that resides in startups in Spain.
Andante's main product is a Virtual Assistant which is installed on a client's website and is able to simulate a conversation by responding to questions written by the user.
Company founder, Elisa Ibáñez Herrero spoke to Ellas 2.0:
Why did you enter Andante for the DigiBIC Award?
We entered the competition so that we could share our experience as young entrepreneurs, and show that once you have a viable idea, all you need to do is take the leap and go for it.
The competition also seemed like a good forum for us to raise awareness of our Virtual Assistant project.
When was the company founded?
The company was created in late 2009. We had previously been selected to participate in the Banespyme-orange contest, where we became finalists. In the initial phase of the competition we developed the Business Plan and, after several more months of working on the Plan and researching into whether there was a market for the Virtual Assistant, we decided to create the company.
About the technology
The Virtual Assistant product is a technology all of its own. We also have a line of custom applications in development, designed according to customer specifications (commercial agendas, campaign planners and so on).
How did you come across Ellas 2.0?
Ellas 2.0 reached me in different ways, including several direct recommendations. Being a woman in a technology company it's an obvious resource for me.

Over years of researching soldiers of fortune, outlaws and guerrillas, I learned that Jesse and Frank James didn't have their pictures taken very often. Many photos have been published of men who are identified as Jesse and Frank, but the majority of them are bogus.
I am always skeptical when someone claims to have found a long, lost photo of Jesse or Frank James.
We've just completed another successful fall festival, making this another beautiful day for our church and community. We celebrated a day filled with fun activities for children, yard sales, good food and spiritually uplifting gospel and country music.
Without the support of many individuals and businesses, the festival would not have been possible. The festival committee would like to thank the community for the support shown to us. No donation or act of kindness was small, each made a big impact on our success.
High school basketball season kicks off this week in Kentucky. Our state has such a storied tradition of high school hoops and there's a new chapter to be written every year.
Anybody who has ever watched the movie "Hoosiers" about the small school in Indiana who accomplished the improbable by going up against the big schools to claim the state championship should appreciate the legendary stories of teams in Kentucky like Carr Creek, Cuba and Hazel Green, small schools who also lived out the "Hoosiers" dream in real life.
In the 1960s, he rode his bicycle more than 14,000 miles across America and Canada, as part of a 16-month trip to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy. A decade later, he walked more than 3,000 miles from Kentucky to California — on stilts. He compared the blisters on his feet to small tomatoes, but says it was worth it when he broke into the "Guinness Book of World Records" for stilt-walking — besting the previous title holder by more than 1,200 miles, after walking into a Tulsa, Okla. stadium in front of 25,000 screaming soccer fans to mark the achievement.
A Wilsonville mom and her children lost everything when a Thanksgiving day fire destroyed their home Thursday evening.
Kim Blanton returned from visiting relatives that holiday to find the first floor of her house on McIntosh Dr. filled with thick, black smoke. Worried for the family dog, Blanton reportedly attempted to search for the pet by crawling on her hands and knees – but the smoke was too much. Family members resorted to opening several exterior doors in hopes that Punkin would find her own way out.
In this article, I have chosen to look at some of the seven churches Jesus told his servant John to write to. Let's take a look at these churches and see if any of them compare to our churches today. After all, we have to believe that Jesus would tell us the same thing if we were guilty of doing the things they were doing.
I find it appalling that city officials feel justified using school children in their efforts to legalize additional liquor sales in Taylorsville.
How else should we interpret the comments in last week's Magnet regarding the city commission's effort to have Taylorsville reclassified as a fourth-class city?
According to the paper, the city's attorney, Dudley Dale, summarized that the new designation wouldn't mean a lot to the community, other than increasing the flow of alcohol.
The Strikers, a U12 boy's soccer team with the SCSA, continued their wining ways in the Commonwealth Cup State tournament held in E-town, Ky.
The Strikers went 6-1-1 during the regular season and place second in the JCYSL tournament a few weeks ago. This time the stakes were higher as they played to earn the number one team in Kentucky crown.

Staff and wire reports
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to review the case of a former Natchitoches man scheduled to be executed this week for the murder of an East Texas woman nine years ago.
Donnie Lee Roberts Jr., 41, is scheduled to die by lethel injection Wednesday evening at the Texas state prison in Huntsville for the 2003 murder of Vicki Bowen at her home on Lake Livingston.
Bowen, 44, was found shot twice in the head. A television and a truck were taken and Roberts had the truck when he was arrested. Roberts, who was on parole for an armed robbery in Louisiana, was living with Bowen.
He confessed to her killing. While in custody, he also confessed to the March 1992 murder of Archie "Al" Crow Jr. in Natchitoches Parish.
Until that confession, Natchitoches Parish authorities had not considered Crow's death a homicide. Crow's remains were found inside his charred Sisson Road home. The cause of death originally was ruled as asphyxiation.
After Texas authorities informed Natchitoches Parish if Roberts' confession, dectectives were sent to the Polk County jail to interview him.
The dectectives reported that Roberts "knew sufficient details of the crime to believe he was telling the truth," Natchitoches Parish District Attorney Van H. Kyzer said in 2004.
Roberts was indicted by a Natchitoches Parish grand jury on a second-degree murder charge on June 15, 2004. However, he was never brought from Texas to Natchitoches to face trial, according to the District Attorney's Office.
The Supreme Court gave no explanation for its ruling Monday and merely listed Roberts' case with dozens of others in its regular weekly orders.

Hi, we are Jean and John Davis, we bought this villa, new, in 2002, I guess we were smitten with the cute little Portuguese village. We often see the shepherd walking his sheep down the lane to graze, or the locals that live off the land and pick their olives in October. They grow their own oranges, pluck their chickens and bake their own bread, some still trot around on their donkeys, no jumping in the car to the local supermarket for a bottle of wine for them! (Yes, they grow the grapes too!) The Algarvians are friendly and have a relaxed attitude to visitors. Fishermen paint their boats in colours as bright as the spring flowers on the cliffs. Two donkey carts cause a 'traffic jam'. At this pace of life even the most stressed businessman soon unwinds.
Golf: If its golf you love, you'll be spoilt for choice! This is Europe's foremost golfing destination where you will find in excess of 20 golf courses along the Algarve. The nearest ones being here in Silves, plus Val do Pinta and Gramacho. Pestana at Carvoeiro (international course) Pinta an 18 hole course and Vale de Milho's 9 hole course. Golf of Morgado a championship golf course which lies on the lower slopes of the Monchique Mountains.Or take a safari jeep trip and visit the typically Portuguese villages where the old Portuguese still make lace table mats and travel by donkey.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — When Avalanche defenseman Ryan Wilson drilled Edmonton Oilers captain Ethan Moreau with a big hit to the head Wednesday, it touched off approximately the 10,000th debate on the "head shots" topic this NHL season.
The issue continues to dominate much of the chatter regarding any proposed rules changes, with league general managers saying they may propose new guidelines to be voted upon at the next board of governors meeting.
Proponents of stiffer penalties and/or new guidelines for hits to the head point to the kind that Wilson laid on Moreau, saying they represent a heightened danger level given the acknowledged bigger, faster players of today.
Others, such as former player, GM and current NHL television analyst Mike Milbury, say the issue is being overblown. On last Saturday's broadcast of "Hockey Night in Canada," an exasperated Milbury wondered if the NHL might turn into "flag football" if the reformers had their way.
Wilson could face supplemental discipline for the hit on Moreau, which did not draw a penalty. Replays showed the Avalanche rookie left his feet a bit and extended his left shoulder and elbow into the head of Moreau. Because Moreau had his head down a bit and was looking at the puck right before the hit, Wilson's hit is considered a hockey no-no.
The Avalanche and Wilson will know today whether the league suspends him.
"I thought it was a clean hit and so did the refs," said Wilson, who was immediately jumped by Oilers forward Zack Stortini, resulting in a fight between the two. "I saw him coming up the boards and looking back for it (the puck). Most times when they do that they'll have their head down. I stepped up."
The Oilers, of course, didn't see it as innocently as that. Coach Pat Quinn called it a clear "head shot" and veteran Steve Staios said of the head shot issue in general, "You see a lot these days."
Avs veteran Darcy Tucker was the victim of one hard hit to the head last month by Carolina's Tuomo Ruutu, leading to a three-game suspension. Tucker, no stranger to administering a few questionable hits in his career, seemed to think the punishment levied on Ruutu was enough.
"The game's fast and it's one of those things that happen in the game," Tucker said. "I'm not bitter or anything like that."

She had some shoes that were worn for photo shoots or otherwise available to try on at the store. We chatted and looked through her selection, and shopped for Ashley's fantasy-pair–there are around 30 varieties that she custom-makes in the leather of your choosing. What a treasure!
Let's Discuss
whoa, beautiful belts and hoes. love mc sorley's too
That must be such an amazing career…. I'd love to make my own leather goods!
What a great find!
What a beautiful craft. Amazing.
I completely agree, Gabby! She seemed as though she'd had a wonderful, colorful career–and life. She told us she'd learned from Isadora Duncan's son (on nephew?) after he and Isadora came back from Greece. I got the sense there were a lot of good stories in that shop.
Love those belts! My dad had some shoes like that made in Mexico back in the 60s…I ought to get him a pair just for nostalgia's sake.
see – THIS is what I love about New York.
That is so interesting…You have a great blog here:)
Kisses and enjoy your day:)
Isn't it great when you find little gems like this. I love shops like these.
I once worked with a woman who had a pair of these sandals. I mentioned that perhaps I would find a second hand pair one day and she said "never. nobody would ever get rid of them". I forgot that story until I read your post. What a treasure that shop is, and Barbara of course. Fun to see what it all looks like all these years later.
My dad used to do leathercraft when I was a little girl. How I loved the beautiful tooled wallets and purses he turned out.
Laura- you should! although I bet in Mexico in the 60s they weren't so pricey.
Jeanette- there was one interview which said an owner finally came in for a second pair after 30 years! quality lasts I guess.
Rambling Tart-
Do you still have some of the work? It would be cool to see it now–and to learn how to make them yourselves.
Not only do your pictures draw us in, but then to actually talk to the subject is wonderful! I can just imagine how good the shop smelled and how tempting it must have been to want to stay and hear some stories. Thank you!
That's so cool that she lines her walls with photos of her shoes in fashion magazines. I love that and I love how dedicated she is to her craft. What a gem indeed.
WOW! This is a beautiful shop and your pictures are really inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
absolutely amazing. i love the sandals, but i love her more. great post!
that is an amazing find! all that leather…i bet the place smelled incredible
ahhh.. interesting! great photo story.
Loved this post and I just adore this kind of shop. So wonderful that Barbara's business is still going strong and that she has found a new audience through your lovely blog. I will visit as soon as I can get to NYC!
What a cool find. I love stumbling upon special places like these in the city.

You guys should consider looking into porting this whole experience over to Assault Squad as best you can (assuming you even can). After enjoying AS beta I can't see myself ever moving back to vanilla MoW.
Dynamic Campaign Generator (DCG) is a mod for the games "Men of War" and "Men of War: Assault Squad" that randomly generates skirmish missions and lets you keep your surviving forces from one battle to another. Some people find this mod tricky to install the first time - please read the readme.txt carefully and ask for help (if you need it) on our forums here on this site, or at the game developer's site.

- Better vehicle scripting

- Improved fog of war settings (much truer LOS than ever before)
- Rebalanced difficulty settings ("Hard" will kick you ain the pants if your not careful)
- AI does greater damage to each other for more realistic battles

- Infantry endurance and sprinting improved (no longer short mini bursts like a FPS)
- Hulls repairable
- Changed some of the vehicle damage text... red means destoryed (unrepairable), yellow means repairable, grey means no damage
- New tracer graphic

- Added chance of helmets being knocked off from explosions :D****
- Add headshot instand kill chance when not wearing helmet
- MG's shoot at planes.. human mgs can be told to do so
.... just to name a few changes and this doesn't include alot of improvements that have been applied directly to DCG (realistic fuel tank size & consumption rates, correct ammo counts for vehicles, accurate max speeds, gas & diesel engines... etc)
So lots of good stuff to come for the Fans of DCG and Realism
You guys should consider looking into porting this whole experience over to Assault Squad as best you can (assuming you even can). After enjoying AS beta I can't see myself ever moving back to vanilla MoW.
If you read the link that is what is talked about....
Never even saw the hyperlink there, thought this was just patch notes.
Yes... we are currently testing (internally) a very basic version of DCG for AS. It won't have the map, unit, or infantry packs yet, but it will allow you to play DCG using AS's infantry and vehicles until we have the time to move over all the MoW stuff (maps, infantry, vehicles) to AS.

Great coffee maker for the price. We have family members that have Keurig and they only last under 2 years with no warranty, which can get quite expensive for $200+ coffee makers. Being that this is $90 and powered by Keurig, you will get your moneys worth. You can purchase a 3-pack of reusable filters @ Amazon.com for under $12 and brew your own coffee instead of purchasing the expensive pods/k-cups. Walmart offers only the 1-pk for $17+. I would definitely recommend this product, especially if you are like us and many others who waste a whole pot a coffee everyday for just 2 cups
I recently purchased the Mr. Coffee Single Serve Coffee Maker as a replacement for my Keurig Elite Single Cup Coffee Maker. The Keurig did not last three years, for all the money I paid for it. Despite maintaining it according to the directions in the owner's manual, it began to brew partial cups consistently, and then began to leak water all over the kitchen counter. When I contacted Keurig, I was told that the unit was unrepairable - but they did offer to sell me a new one at only a slight discount. I found a better price than they offered in Bed, Bath and Beyond. But not wanting to buy another Keurig, I decided on the Mr. Coffee - with the same or better features than the Keurig, at a lower price. The Mr. Coffee uses the same K-cups as the Keurig - so no loss there. It brews a great cup of coffee, and is available in black with a choice of silver, navy blue or red trim. I chose the model with the red trim, and it looks great in my kitchen. Highly recommended!
So easy my 8 year old can make her own hot chocolate! I love mine so much that I am buying one as a gift for my parents for Christmas!!
I only need this when my husband travels and doesn't make a full pot. It is awesome for making one cup for myself. It's fast and easy and I can use any k-cup available, including flavored coffees for a treat in the afternoon. I would definitely recommend this coffee maker and it's cheaper than a Keurig.
It only took me 3 years to finally break down & buy a single serve coffee maker. A friend introduced me to the Keurig & coffee never tasted so good! I did a little research & found this Mr. Coffee machine & fell in love, plus it's about half the price! I ordered the red one & it looks so sleek on my countertop. It's so easy to use & only takes about a minute for a fresh cup. It comes with an assortment of sample coffees, too. I would suggest getting a reusable filter, since the coffee cups can get a bit expensive & if you love coffee, won't last long. I'm also looking forward to trying tea & hot cocoa. Mmmmm!
This single serve coffee machine is the perfect size for the counter space I have. It's not clunky or bulky and not too heavy to maneuver around on the counter should you have the need to do so. It has a really nice color and sleek design which blends very well with my other kitchen appliances. It's user friendly with easy on/off button as well as 3 different size brew options to choose from. Easy to fill water reservoir. This is pretty much your basic model to brew coffee, tea, etc.. This does NOT brew the specialty drinks like lattes. Choose your k-cup, Pop it in, select the size you want to brew and voila! Hot fresh brewed cup of coffee/tea every time within seconds. A great machine to have when you want to grab a hot and fresh brewed cup in a hurry. There is also a drip tray to catch any drips.
I found it took a bit longer to heat up the first time using it after taking it out of the box but that could be because it was new. After couple of water only perks , there was no issue with that and it did brew a hot and very delicious cup of coffee. The only thing I found tedious for me was that the water reservoir didn't hold enough water for me personally as I drink coffee all day long and had to keeping filling it up more often then I would like. All in all this is a very good machine and definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a single serve coffee system for themselves or to give as a gift! DISCLAIMER: I'm a member of the Livebranch Panel and this single serve coffee maker was given to me free to try and give you my personal and honest review.
Mr. Coffee's BMV KG6-001, (Mr. C finally got the K-Cup brewing thing right! I love it so I bought 2. I've owned, numerous coffee makers from $20.00 to the U-need-This-iPhone 58s model. None made a single cup of coffee as well as Mr. C's new K-Cup machine BMVm KG6. FYI Mr. C's K-Cup can also brew fresh ground coffee in an optional separate K-Cup basket. If U buy the separate K-Cup brewing basket buy the paper K-Cup pare filters as well. It makes clean-up after brewing fresh coffee grounds a snap. Just toss Ur paper filter into the trash after brewing. Mr. C's K-Cup brews quick, cleans easily and maintains a hot temperatures. If U like fresh brewed grounds use a finer grind than regular drip, 1 or 2 clicks finer than paper drip grind. Mr. C BMV KG6-001 mdl has an automatic shut-off relay which turns the machine off if Mr. C sits idle for 2 Hrs. This feature will reduce that electric bill by let's say, 5 MIL $'s A MONTH! IT HAS A 40oz RESEVOIR allowing U to brew 4 10oz K-Cups. If U have any friends that U might wish to share coffee with 40oz reservoir comes in handy. In my case all of my trusted friends whom I would share coffee, desires & lies with are all dead. Therefore I'm usually enjoying My Mr. C K-Cup coffee alone as I prefer while writing, thinking reflecting and or solving all the worlds problems. Mr. C's K-Cup delivers hot temperatures from it's 1000 watts which more than adequate to deliver strong brewed coffee. Kuerig coffee makers use 1425 watts. Ur only dilemma will be finding a brand of coffee that satisfies Ur taste. I think best after tasting STRONG, BOLD coffee. I also purchased a separate K-Cup Brew Basket along w/paper filters to brew fresh drip ground coffee. May I suggest if U like bold fresh ground coffee as do I. Purchase an optional K-Cup Brewing basket & paper filters. Mr. C's K-Cup BMV KG6-001, coffee maker is well Px'd, excellent value, design, easy to operate and clean all w/o taking over Ur counter space. This Holiday season all 2 of my remaining friends that I talk to will be getting Mr. C BMV KG6 -001 K-Cup coffee makers.
i love the convenience of this mr. coffee single serve coffee maker....i also use it for hot chocolate packets , tea and even instant oatmeal! i can use any keurig k cup that i want so the variety is great and they are very easy to find at any grocery store so thats an added convenience. i can brew my coffee in different size cups and we can get a fresh brewed cup any time...this is great because my husband and i dont usually have our coffee at the same time in the morning ...we dont have to brew a big pot that wont stay fresh. .and the reservoir is large enough that we dont have to refill it to often....probably my favorite thing about this coffee maker is the size...some of the other single cup coffee makers are pretty large and take up a lot of counter space...the mr. coffee is a compact size that looks great on my counters....it performed great...the coffee was a perfect brew and temperature....the price is great so its an excellent value....i received this product free as a sample to review
works just as well as the more expensive kcup brewers
Good machine for the price, we had 3 Keurig makers the first one lasted 3 to 4 years the last 2 about a year, Lets see how long the Mr. Coffee last.
I got good coffee about 50% of the time. The other times I (and my wife) got cold, weak coffe that had to be poured out. K-Cups are too expensive to put into the machine and hope you get a decent cup.
I had much higher expectaions from Mr. Coffee. I returned it after three weeks.
I've been considering purchasing a Keurig for about a year now. But with the introduction of so many cool, yet expensive, appliances into the market each month, I've been forced to choose between them. Unfortunately, the Keurig did not make the cut (I went with the SodaStream). However, my trusty old coffee pot experienced some technical difficulties that made it necessary to buy a new brewer. I couldn't be happier with the choice that I made.
This brewer is from the well-known and trusted Mr. Coffee brand. But bonus, it's actually a "Keurig Brewed" approved single-serve beverage brewer, complete with a water reservoir. All of the delicious flavors Keurig has to offer can be prepared in this machine. Assembly, cleaning, and upkeep are super easy. It's perfect for home, office, dorm, etc. It's an excellent value for those who want the Keurig experience without having to pay the full price.
I received this as a gift for Valentine's Day, and I have to say it's definitely better than a bouquet of flowers that won't last all that long. I got the 40 oz. reservoir model, and it's great because I like to have a couple of cups of coffee at a time. Preheating is quick, but I would wait about 30 seconds before making the second cup (if making 2 to fill large mug). Another trick I learned was to heat your creamer for about 12 seconds (2T), as the coffee does not brew as hot as a regular coffee pot. The light notice for a low reservoir is also handy. It flashes, so you definitely notice it (have only forgotten once). In the 2 weeks I've had it, I've not had any problems or concerns. As I had good luck with the Mr. Coffee coffee maker (regular pot) that I owned before this one (5 years old and never a problem-broke the pot cleaning it), I was pretty confident I would be happy with the single serve, and I'm not disappointed. The only improvement I can come up with would be to be able to turn up the temp.
This is the best value single serve coffee maker. I had an expensive Keurig machine and it stopped working after two years. I looked in the store at all the single serve machines and liked how the smaller Mr. Coffee was made. I got home, went online to read reviews and found Walmart had this bigger model for the same price as the smaller capacity model. This model does exactly what the Keurig machines do and it is Keurig powered. It heats up a little slower but has three choices for cup size and turns off automatically. I will wait any day a minute more for it to heat up for the value you get with this machine. My 24 ounce Tervis tumbler fits perfect under it (it had to be at a slight angle with the Keurig machine).
this is my 4th single cup style 1-kurig, 2-cusenart and this mr coffee. I got this one because its Wal-Mart with a 2 yr warranty. So far each unit has malfunctioned. So I got this Mr Coffee cheaper and expect to replace it under warranty when it malfunctions too.
just got this coffee maker and boy am i injoying this ! for the money you cant go wrong.
it looks so nice on the counter too. it took me weeks to make up my mind but i am glad
i got this cos it is just so neat and nice looking and dont have to much wrong that i can see
agian try this and iam sure you will agree that this is what it says it is. thanks agian!
I LOVE my new single pod machine ( Mr. Coffee Single Serve Brewing System, BVMC-KG6-001, Black)!! I use it daily to make green tea, and often use it for specialty latte's for myself; and hot chocolate for the kids. I love the 40 oz capacity of the water reservoir, which means I don't have to fill it often. I also love the "always on" function, ensuring no warm-up time for the machine. I think my favorite feature is the 6 oz, 8 oz, or 10 oz choice; I like stronger coffee, so the 6 oz feature is perfect, which seems to be lacking on most machines. Clean-up seems to be very easy, too. I think the value is excellent, and recommend it highly. Disclaimer: I received this machine as a free sample to review, and would be happy to answer any questions.
I'm a big coffee drinker,, meaning not only do I really like coffee, but I drink a lot of it.. I've been eyeing single serve coffee makers for awhile, but since I drink so much, I was hesitant to spend a lot of money on one.. as I figured just buying the coffee pods would break the bank.
And,then I got this Mr. coffee single serve coffee maker.. It is made by a brand that I trust and uses the popular K-cup coffee pods. The machine looks sleek.. I love that it has several options for sizes and a removable tray so that I can up a travel mug in to fill. I also like that the reservoir holds enough water for several cups, so I'm not having to refill between cups. I don't use this maker all the time.. rather I use this for my pick me up coffee late in the day or an evening decaf.. I love it and wish I had gotten it soon. Thank you Mr Coffee for selecting me to be part of the trail for this maker..
The Mr. Coffee Single Brewing System is quite affordable, compared to the Keuric machines in the market. I like the option to make three different cup sizes and the water reservoir is an added perk for those people who have several cups of coffee each morning. This coffee maker came with a sample pack of assorted K-cups giving you the opportunity to try out several different brands of coffee. I have been using my new Mr. Coffee Single Serve for over a month now as a free sample and I am very happy with this coffee maker. Very easy to use.
i replaced a Keurig with this Mr Coffee. Although it takes a little longer to brew, it's no different than the Keurig, which tore up after only 16 months use! It makes just as good a cup of coffee for a whole lot less! I would recommend this product!

I recently came into possession of this frame and I can't figure out
what this is...I can't find hardly any info on this brand on the net, and apparently
is not distributed in the U.S. yet and I can't read Japanese
It looks like a tour bike..it has 2 sets of bracket holes for water bottle cages,
and a bracket at the back to possibly hold an airpump.
I saw some info on Sheldons website, but I would like to I.D. this bike,
perhaps he knows...just guessing from the numbers stamped on the
bottom the last two are 97 so that could be the year.
57 cm frame
68 mm BB
Any Ideas ??

Catholics get 'The Message' in new edition of Bible
The new Catholic translation of the popular Protestant Bible puts Scripture into context that anyone can understand.
The new Catholic translation of the popular Protestant Bible puts Scripture into context that anyone can understand.
The fact that Jesus of Nazareth frequently employed parables while he was teaching tells us a lot about what he was trying to accomplish during his earthly ministry.
Teachers don't use parables when they're just adding to their students' store of knowledge. Parables only come into play when someone is striving to change a person's whole frame of mind, when they're attempting to alter the way people process all the knowledge they receive. Parables are a means of retooling one's brain.
Book review: In Eager to Love, Franciscan Fr. Richard Rohr builds a bridge between the Christian mystical tradition and estranged seekers of every ilk.
Celebration Publications: There are 57 parables in the Gospels. Why were parables so important and what do they reveal about Jesus and his message?
Spiritual Reflections: In this week's readings, we're dealing with parables. The one sure thing is that message is not going to be what we would expect.
Spirituality preview: A year ago, I ran the ProNutro AfricanX Trailrun. It's a three-day, three-stage run covering a total distance of 56 miles.
"The snake made me do it," said Eve, "and besides I only took a bite."
Eve and her partner Adam had it all. God gave them everything, including perfect freedom, the freedom to choose. They chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, even though God told them there would be awful consequences.
The college experience -- and the Catholic college experience especially -- can influence a young man's decision toward considering a priestly vocation, according to a study issued in early July by Boston College.
Among the factors that have helped sway a man's decision to enter priestly life are access to clergy at the college as well as access to the Mass and other elements of Catholic life.
Spirituality preview: Although my hands have removed hundreds of eyelid cancers and effected thousands of other positive outcomes, the successes do not erase the failures.
In today's first reading and Gospel, the sacred authors give us a glimpse into the missiology God has used to bring about the redemption and salvation of sinful humankind. Deutero-Isaiah describes the missionary efforts of God's powerful and creative word, spoken into time and space to accomplish the end for which God sent it: to gather in all the peoples of the earth.

|They paid me top dollar for 2 used books which I sent in. It took a little over a week from the time I shipped the books until they deposited the funds in my PayPal account. Will use again and recommend.
|Oct 2015
|One of my favorite vendors. Easy, reasonable selection process, no unfounded rejections, and customer service is fast and friendly. Very consistent with payment and turn-around times. I only wish they offered higher prices on more things so I could justify selling to them all the time!
|Oct 2015
|Used Bookbyte for two books which they offered the highest buyback on. Although the USPS shipping took longer than other methods, I received the quoted amount via PayPal shortly after they received them.
|Sep 2015
|My book might be lost. They don't have tracking number for the package, and unable to tell the location of the package. The shipping label is weird, differ from the normal label, which might be the cause of this incident.
|Sep 2015
|I sent 3 books in and 9 Days later money was in my account. I was told when books were received and when the money was transferred. No issues. No problems at all. Excellent Service. Will use again.
|Aug 2015
|They are reliable and pay the prices quoted. Use paypal for the faster payment.
|Aug 2015
Bookbyte is very, very, very slow with sending checks.
Bookbyte Response: It can take us 3-5 business days to inspect an order once it's received and to have a payment issued. The check for your order was mailed out within that timeframe to the address on your account. If you haven't received this check, please let us know.
|May 2015
|I tried this site for the first time because they offered me the most money for my book. The Sellback price was awesome. Sent my book through FedEx and received a check for the amount they quoted me a short 2 weeks later. I also received email updates when my book was received and the payment was sent. I was very very pleased and I will be using this service in the future!
|May 2015
|Have used them before. Using them again today. They do, sometimes take time to pay. You can check the status of your buyback at anytime on their site in your account. Don't understand why all these other people find the need to e-mail and call them for order status.
|May 2015
|Have used them twice, spread out over the past year. Both times, the process has been slower than other buyback sites, but have paid via paypal the amount quoted on both occasions. Will use as last resort when other sites aren't buying what I'm selling. Customer service was ok on both occasions, nothing to write home about although.
|Apr 2015
|I had a great experience selling a book here. I mailed a book and got the full amount quoted within 2 weeks.
|Apr 2015
|Their communication is pretty much non existent, at least in my experiences. Processing and payment have much longer turn around times than other companies. If I want to know the status of my order I have to online chat with customer service. With all that being said the orders I have sent to then I have always received my quoted price.
|Apr 2015
|A little slow on payment but paid full amount so I can live with that, will do business with them again.
|Mar 2015
I sent a box for payment of books and I still have no payment after I already received payment from other companies that already received and processed the boxes.
Bookbyte Response: I apologize for the delay. Our records indicate the payment for your order was processed and mailed on 4/2/15. If you have not received it, please let us know.
|Mar 2015
Bookbyte paid me the price they cited and kept me informed of their process. I will gladly use them again.
|Mar 2015
|It is true that they are very slow in paying but I have always got paid the full balaance that was promised. Also the customer service department was always friendly and helpful
|Mar 2015
|Almost a month to get paid from when I mailed, but paid what quoted.
|Mar 2015
|Based on the mixed reviews I was hesitant to use Bookbyte. Did decide to give them a try and everything worked fine. A bit slow in the paying department (you can check when your books are Accepted) but I did get paid and for the full value of what I expected. I will use them again.
|Feb 2015
|Sometimes a tad slow but I always get paid!
|Feb 2015
There are many companies to choose from when selling back books. I would not recommend Bookbyte. I "sold" my book back to bookbyte at the end of December. By Mid to early February I have still not heard anything back from Bookbyte. So I contacted Bookbyte. Their response was that my order was denied due to "missing pages". The book was purchased brand new at the beginning of the Fall semester and sold in December. When the book was shipped it had all pages. Don't know what happened to it that pages were "missing". I asked for proof of the missing pages, but have received no response. They owe me over $100. To a student that's a significant amount. They instead gave me $0 and took my book (I'm assuming so they can resell). There are many companies to choose from when selling back books. I would not recommend Bookbyte. The extra money is not worth the lack of communication and the risk of losing your book and your money.
Bookbyte Response: We apologize for any inconvenience. Our Buyback policy does state that we do not purchase books that are missing pages. It does appear that the order was actually paid out even though it was received was missing pages. Your check should arrive to you in 3-7 days.
|Feb 2015
|I am satisfied with the transactions I have made with Bookbyte.
|Jan 2015
I used to love them. Honest, fast and accurate. I had an order from OCT and they claimed they have never received the book. Call FEDEX and they said it went back to their address b/c their label is wrong. REFUSED TO reply to any of my emails after i emailed a few times. The problem is NOT FIXED, search and pay on your terms right? NO, they chose to ignore your messages. What a Rip and it's a 12 bucks book so imagine if u sell on amazon that's going to be 30 bucks and up, at least. I better try someone else too in the future, unless you have choice then use them or else.
Bookbyte Response: We apologize that this order has not been paid. Unfortunately we're unable to pay for books that are not received. There is no tracking on the label that we had provided. We had previously asked for proof of delivery and did not receive a response. If you have proof from FedEx showing this package was received at our warehouse, please send that information to us so we can have this issue resolved.
|Jan 2015
I shipped my book and I didn't get any e-mails or any notifications and then I got my book back without a reason why it was rejected.
Bookbyte Response: Our records indicate that this book was rejected as we received a different ISBN from what we had quoted you for. The book was returned to you at the address on your Bookbyte account.
|Jan 2015
|I mixed up my packing slips with my orders, but they emailed me back immediately and are going out of their way to make sure my orders still get processed right. I've never had a problem with them yet, and I love their bonus % back promo codes!
|Jan 2015
they lied about the quote for my book. they told me that it would be $49, and when they got the book they said it was worth $5, the book was new never been used with all discs. this is one place i will never send my books to again.
Bookbyte Response: Our records indicate that we had accepted both books at the quoted price for this order. The total payment for the order was $64.50 which was the full quoted price when the order was placed.
|Dec 2014
|Process was simple and all books were purchased for the quoted price. Could use some better feedback about order status.
|Dec 2014
Pretty Pleasant Transaction.. Did receive Quoted Price.. However, they received my books on 12/16, contacted them on 12/23, and they finally processed my order,but I didn't receive payment until 12/29.. I do understand a few days considering the Christmas Holiday, but 13 days to process??? I may use again, but really hope they can do better... All and all, thanks...
Bookbyte Response: We apologize for any delay in processing. Per our Buyback policy, processing times may be slightly longer during peak seasons.
|Dec 2014
|It took more than two weeks to get my money back, however, they bought my book for a good price.
|Dec 2014
I sold back a book to Bookbyte, and they sent the payment to the wrong recipient through Paypal. After a long going back between Paypal and Bookbyte, they've decided not to fix their mistake and refuse to pay me. Pick a different company, this one is unhelpful and rips off students.
Bookbyte Response: If the Paypal option is chosen for a Buyback order, we issue the payment to the Paypal email address that is provided to us at the time of purchase. If you entered an incorrect Paypal address and the payment was accepted by someone else, you would unfortunately need to contact Paypal.com to have the issue resolved. If you are unsure if the payment was accepted to another account, please let us know so we can have the payment resent to the correct account.
|Dec 2014
|Shipped 12 books from TN on Friday Nov 28, 2014. Never received any email notification from Bookbyte indicating whether books were received in OR. But on Wednesday Dec 10, 2014, I received email notification from PayPal that Bookbyte had sent me $145.05, which was the full amount of their original offer.
|Dec 2014
|I have been using bookbyte for over 2 years. Bookbyte is one of a my favorite companies that I truly trust. I have a handful of companies that I trust. If they say they will pay you or refund you, or ship your books, you can have confidence at their words. Even if their words are hard to hear, Bookbyte, in my honest opinion, will not cheat you. Their words are gold. I have had many good and some bad, but they are honest. If they reject your books, it's because the books are not saleable. They are in this business to make money. Thank you Bookbyte
|Sep 2014
Seller rejected books and has a policy not to return them. I wonder if they will resell them anyway?
Bookbyte Response: Books that are rejected are either donated or recycled. We reject books that can not be resold or do not have any resale value therefore these items are donated or recycled.
|Aug 2014
|I love doing business with these folks and I've done plenty of it. The turnaround isn't super fast, but they have been more than fair in accepting books that were definitely used. Some times I get half-price for a certain disheveled book, but half-a-loaf is better than as is the case with most other booksellers I deal with. If you have a question or complaint, a Bookbyte representative responds quickly. On numerous occasions I have sold to Bookbyte even when they are offering less for a certain book. I just have a higher comfort level.
|Jul 2014
Sent my book the day after I received a quote. They did pay what they quoted but I wasn't surprised because my book was in great condition. Didn't receive payment for a month! Very slow service and I will never use this company again!
Bookbyte Response: Once a check is sent, it can take 3-7 business days for the check to arrive via USPS. If you choose to be paid via Paypal, payment is issued within 1-2 days of the order being processed.
|Jun 2014
|Just received the check in the mail in a timely manner. Very satisfied.
|Jun 2014
|Will use again, paid amount in full and responds to emails promptly. It just took over two weeks for the transaction to occur-longer than other companies.
|Jun 2014
This book company will not pay.I sent off a order over three weeks ago and they have received it and have only offered excuses since.The book quote was over $100.They also have no physical phone number as well.Seller beware.
Bookbyte Response: Our Buyback prices are based on the ISBN that is on the book we receive. If there was an issue with the price upon receipt, we'd be happy to look into it. Please respond with your Buyback order number.
|May 2014
|Slow but they paid me what they quoted. I recently sold a large number of books to three different vendors. I had checks from the other two within a week, bookbyte took fourteen business days and several support emails to pay up. That said they were never rude and paid me what they quoted in full... eventually.
|May 2014
|i have been selling books online to different companies for over a year. I ALWAYS get paid. This is the first time I used book byte. Sent in two books. They never sent an email indicating they received books or processed books. Finally logged into my account to discover they rejected the books. I had sent several books to other companies at the same time as sending books to Bookbyte. Got emails from ALL other companies and received full payment from all other companies, even for 1 books which was questionable. I will never use bookbytes again, even if they are offering more than other companies.
|May 2014
|Bookbyte is a great company to deal with. I have sent them books and they have received and processed them without a problem. They sent me my check immediately after processing my order.
|May 2014
|I keep sending and they keep paying . The most dependable of all the sellers I've dealt with. very very dependable.
|Apr 2014
|Sold a couple of books, had a great experience and there were no problems. They processed the books the same day they were received, and paid via paypal two days later.
|Mar 2014
|Have had numerous transactions and never any issue. Full quoted payments, and reasonably quick about it.
|Feb 2014
|Paid as agreed. No complaints.
|Jan 2014
|I have sent books to Bookbyte a few times. I never had a problem. My books were in good shape, and in return I got exactly what stated in the quote. I wonder if all those one star ratings are published by competitors, or by people that sends in books that should be thrown in the garbage.
|Jan 2014
|First and foremost, I would like to tell everyone to not listen to those who gave negative feedbacks. The reason why I say this is because I myself was very hesistant to send books to Bookbyte at first, due to the negative feedbacks but I did it anyways to give them a chance. Well, it turns out, BOOKBYTE IS AWESOME! I got the exact amount of money they quoted to me and I got it fast too. I was expecting them to take off at least half the amount because my most expensive book was in bad condition but nevertheless they gave me the full amount. THANKS BOOKBYTE! I just want to say if your book was in worse condition than mine you should probably not even get paid for it. [Just saying] Thanks again Bookbyte.
|Dec 2013
|Great service, sent multiple books and payment was received within 24 hrs
|Dec 2013
|At the end of last semester I spent quite a bit of time finding out where to sell my books back. I went to the BBB website of several sites and based on what I saw and my recent experience with bookbyte I have come to the conclusion that these companies are not going to steal your books. The negative reviews are likely to be from competing companies.I even went as far as videotaping myself taping up the boxes with the books in it showing the ISBNs in my car before going into FedEX to ship them to have something in case I did not get paid. I now see it was a big waste of time. The only thing that matters would be price of the books ofcourse, the location (how far you have to ship the books), and the payment options. My experience with bookbyte: shipping from OH to Oregon took 7 days. 5 days later (3 business days) the quoted amount was in my paypal account. I also shipped books @ the same time to Chegg.com (they don't offer paypal they offer paper checks). From OH to KY took 3 days for them to receive the books, they got processed same day and I was instantly updated, however I am still waiting for the paper check to arrive. They say it can take up to 10 business days for the check to arrive and it's not an overestimation. At the end of next semester i will be focusing on companies that pay the most, offer paypal payments, and whose locations are not too far. I will not worry about not getting paid.I hope this helps out.
|Dec 2013
|After reading some of the reviews I was hesitant in sending by textbooks to bookybyte. Understanding that bad news sometimes travels faster than good news; I took a chance. They offered the best refund for by book. I kept track of the shipping and processing time they quoted. The result: they were a day early and gave me the full price that they quoted. I have no complaints. They did as they promised. Thank you!!!

PORTLAND, Maine When the intensely private Rep. Mike Michaud laid bare his private life and announced he's gay, one openly gay congressman joked that the Maine Democrat never had registered on his "gaydar."
As he prepares to return to Capitol Hill this week as the seventh openly gay member of the House, Michaud said the decision to come out last week was a positive experience that drew support from fellow congressmen and hundreds of constituents – even if political nastiness prompted his announcement.
"People know me as Mike," he said. "They know my issues are veteran issues, economic development, health care and jobs, and nothing is going to change."
Michaud, in a three-way race for governor, used an op-ed provided to two newspapers and The Associated Press to disclose he's gay, saying he did so to address "whisper campaigns, insinuations and push-polls" that raised questions about his sexuality.
He said constituents have been supportive, with many finding his honesty refreshing.
Several members of Congress including Democratic Reps. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts and David Cicilline of Rhode Island also have reached out to show support.
Among them was Republican Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida, chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, who works closely with Michaud, the committee's ranking Democrat.
"Mike Michaud is my friend and colleague," Miller said. "He is a strong ally in advocating for veterans, and his recent announcement does nothing to change that."
Before Michaud's announcement, there were six openly gay members of the House. Michaud's sexual orientation was as much a surprise to at least some of them as it was to Mainers.
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who is gay, tweeted in surprise after Michaud's announcement that "My #gaydar missed it." He also reached out to lend support.
In Maine, political observers said Michaud's announcement likely won't have a big impact on the governor's race. Voters approved gay marriage a year ago.
Michaud continued a regular schedule of public events after making his announcement. The Maine Association of Police and the Professional Fire Fighters on Friday endorsed Michaud over Republican Gov. Paul LePage, the incumbent, and wealthy independent Eliot Cutler.
Polis said he fully expects his colleague to dive back into work Tuesday, when he's scheduled to return to Washington after attending Veterans Day events in Maine.
"It's clear he doesn't intend to make a big deal out of it," Polis said. "It's done and he's ready to get back to work."

IamsSon, on 25 January 2010 - 03:22 AM, said:
I disagree. It's not based on self-respect, it's based on self-centerdness.
I disagree. Christianity teaches that all humans are self-centered, whether rich or poor. The rich are no less or no more spiritual, they may, however, worry less about their spiritual/eternal status because their terrestrial status is comfortable enough to lull them.
Your outlook reflects the way how you were brought up, no more. This is what forms personal opinions. A self-centered person would by default except the others to be self-centered too, in the same exactly sense of self-centeredness.
Meanwhile Jesus clearly stated that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, than for a rich person to enter Kingdom of God. One way or another this theme later developed in Communism and associated teachings.

Dreamcast? GameCube? Xbox? They're cute and endearing to look back on now, because they really never stood a chance. Sony practically redefined what it meant to be dominant in a console generation with the PlayStation 2, which was launched on March 4, 2000 in Japan (the US got it that October), went on to sell over 140 million units, and is still going strong. It's strange to think that for what many people was their first DVD player turned out to be powerful enough to bring us the cinematic experiences of Shadow of the Colossus, God of War II and Final Fantasy XII, and enough of a kicker to make it into the latest round of Madden releases. Of course, its foray into online gaming took a second fiddle to Microsoft's Xbox, and many of Sony's high-minded, living room-invasion promises of the console (remember that FireWire port? The hard drive slot?) never really panned out. Still, we'd say it's been a pretty good 10 years for this thing. Feeling extra-nostalgic? Check out Sony's own timeline of PlayStation it pumped out for the 15 year anniversary of the brand last year. Brings a tear to our eye every time.

There is no "correct" test. There is only a test that you can use for your own conditions.
Measure the time it takes to make a normal print from package open to into the blix or stop (if open tray) or into the drum. Then place a strip of paper near your safelight, one on your easel, and one at the process site (protected from chemical contamination of course). Then, after exposure to safelight for the time interval measured above, go totally dark and process the 3 strips. Any fog should be compared to a 4th strip that was kept totally dark but is processed with the other 3 in the dark.
Use a 5th strip that was blixed, washed and dried as the base reference.
If there is fog, only you can determine if it is suitable for your purposes. A light tan fog about 0.02 above Dmin is probably ok, but any cyan fog is bad. This is what I have found. And, most safelights cause blue, cyan or purple fog.

The produce isn't grown with any toxins, pesticides or sprays because the aquaponics system relys on ammonia, nitrates, nitrites and microbes to all do their job, in the conversion process of nourishing the produce. The fish do their part in creating some of these natural chemicals through their gills, skin and poop. If there were any questions about the natural processes being harmful, then the fish would die because they are very sensitive to stress and chemicals. http://www.amazon.com/
If people want to save money and learn how to grow their own food through aquaponics; a great start would be a subscription to the ASC Magazine. The magazine comes out on the 10th of every month and it has a vast array of educational materials in it. The magazine articles are designed to give people great ideas with having succesful aquaponic systems themselves. http://aquaponics-

My Nonprofit Reviews
Debbi M.
Review for Live And Let Live Farm, Inc., Chichester, NH, USA
I have been a volunteer at Live and Let Live Farm for over a year now, and it's such a rewarding experience to help the animals that come here: mostly horses, but also goats, sheep, pigs, cows, all different kinds of birds and fowl, bunnies, kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs. If it weren't for Teresa taking these animals in, some of them would be in the most horrid condition, if not dead. We've had horses come to the farm on the verge of death, so emaciated and starved they can barely stand up, and thanks to the tireless work of the innumerable volunteers, now the horses are healthy, happy, and loved. My fondest dream would be to see as many horses as possible in forever homes with experienced horse people, so they can all have all the attention they need every day.

Barrio Alegre Group
Ms. Dora is the group's chair. She earns a living in commerce and in her free time works as a beauty salon employee. She wishes to progress with Fundación Paraguaya and hopes the group may be strengthened day by day. She asserts that she is quite happy in her committee and expects many additional benefits as the Foundation is offering them on a regular basis.
She seeks a loan in order to purchase supplies for the beauty salon, such as shampoo, rinses, hair coloring, nail polish and other items. They all appreciate the opportunity that has been given them.
La sra Dora es Presidenta del grupo, ella se dedica al comercio y en su hora libre se desempeña como peluquera funcionaria. Su deseo es progresar con la Fundación Paraguaya y que el grupo se vaya fortaleciendo cada día más, manifiesta que se siente muy a gusto en su comité y espera muchos beneficio más que la Fundación le están ofreciendo continuamente.
Ella solicita el crédito para la compra de insumos para su peluquería, como ser shampoo, enjuagues, tintes, esmaltes y demás. Agradecen todas ellas por la oportunidad que les han dado.
Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
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.

Scotland Yard and the police complaints watchdog tried yesterday to ease tensions before the funeral of Mark Duggan, whose shooting by police on August 4 was followed by the Tottenham riots.
As many as 3,000 people are expected at the funeral today and about 10,000 police officers will be on duty across London, with the Metropolitan Police backed by other forces.
The Met denied a report in yesterday's Times that the firearms officer who shot Mr Duggan is about to return to frontline duties, and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said its inquiry into the death had reached no

Fad diets are dangerous and not going to last the long haul. Being healthy is about adopting a healthy lifestyle. Eat right: everything in moderation and portion control, and exercise and you're good.

i voted no because i hate fad diets (Atkins anyone???) but i think that if you needed it to lose a few pounds really quickly (for an event or something) and with the full knowledge that you'd gain it back pretty soon, then it would be okay. but honestly, just diet and exercise and you'll lose the pounds!

Re: (Hopefully
) My Journey to Homeowners hip
It's FBC Mortgage.
So, she sent the builder the "pre-qual now" (whatever that is) and told me the conditional approval will take about 3 weeks. I have no idea what that means or where we are in the process. I like checkboxes and orderly information. I don't think they are used to dealing with people who are as involved (controlling? LOL!) as I like to be. I have a limited window of opportunity to move into the new house this fall and I think we might be cutting it very close. The builder rep keeps telling me that my "timeline looks good", but I'm not so sure at this point. I need ground to break by the middle of July if I'm going to get it done on time.
I went ahead and sent the IBR request to the current student loan lender, even though the loans have an "origination" date of 6/22 (again, whatever that means). I'm hoping I can get that done as it's pretty much the only major hangup right now. I'm trying to convince them that since I've qualified for IBR from one lender, I will qualify for the other and it's just a matter of doing the math. Don't have answers yet around that.
I'm still chapped about the divorce requirement for child support to count as income. It's in a legal, binding agreement. I'm hoping the UW can make it work somehow.
