Home-design experts say a multifunctional great room is the solution for today's families hoping to carve out more time together.
No matter what you call it — a family room, bonus room or built-out kitchen — these multipurpose areas integrate living rooms, dining rooms, movie/game rooms and home offices into one open, airy space.
And when designed correctly — either by a professional or a savvy DIYer — these rooms foster quality time among family and friends.
"People can't help but interact more when they end up in the same area together," says Mary Wilson of Nielsen-Wilson Design LLC in Denver.
The trend is being driven in part by the dual popularity of family gaming devices such the Wii, and the "Not So Big House" trend toward doing more with smaller spaces.
In Wilson's home, a long narrow room measuring 22 feet by 40 feet serves as a trumped-up great room where people can eat, work, play or just hang out. The designer uses area rugs and built-ins to section off areas of the room.
The secret ingredient that makes it all work? Lighting.
"Different activities require different lighting," Wilson says, "so make sure you have a well-thought-out lighting plan."
These large, open family rooms need several types of lighting to designate different activity zones.
A good lighting plan should include:
• Recessed or general lighting on the ceiling.
• Ambient lighting such as a chandelier or drop pendant.
• Task lighting including floor and reading lamps.
In Wilson's family room, a bank of built-ins provides storage, defines the space and creates a "library feel." A single table functions as a desk, a place to eat and a place to play games. And bookshelves divide the "living room" area off from the rest of the room.
One more tip from this designer for creating a multipurpose family room: Add unexpected furniture pieces such as a daybed or futon. Wilson uses a daybed for additional seating at the dining table. It also acts as a chaise lounge where someone can relax or read. She says guests tend to gravitate to the daybed, especially couples.
"They interact more with each other than they would in separate chairs," she says. "Right away you feel like you can relax, take your time and have a meal."
Devote another area of the great room to television watching and gaming. Some designers suggest disguising the screen inside cabinets that close when it's not in use.
"People tend to turn a television on more when it's in plain site, which reduces other family activities," Wilson says. "Only open the cabinet doors when there is something worth watching."
Wilson placed two chaise lounges and an ottoman that turn toward each other in front of the TV. Small tables and chairs flanking the TV cabinet are light enough to move around the room as needed.
"Things aren't so large... that they have to stay put," Wilson says.
And just when you think this room couldn't possibly fit anything else, Wilson found a way to put a home office there too. The work station just off her kitchen includes a drop down computer cabinet with filing space. The cabinet, or a built-in niche, can help clear up clutter. A small chair in a corner near the cabinet completes the desk area. The set-up "acts as my office and saves me (from having) a room that would be empty most of the time until I used it."
Ideally, this new family room should be comfortable, inviting, visually appealing and functional, with every space lending itself to a specific use, says Starr Osborne of Tailor Transitions, a Philadelphia home-staging and design firm.
"Many times, great rooms are so visually cluttered with everyone's belongings that they make me nervous to be in them," says Osborne, author of "Home Staging that Works," due out in March (Amacom).
Form should follow function, she says. Think about the function of each space in the room — eating, doing homework, watching movies as a family — then find the furniture to fill that function.
"Great rooms are about everyone being together, doing their own thing and interacting," Osborne says. "Create intimacy. Don't scatter your furnishings randomly around the room." Her tips include:
• Reduce clutter by purchasing a large upholstered ottoman with a hinged top. It offers extra seating, a place to put your feet up and storage. Make sure to use safety hinges so the top closes slowly. "I had one made for my family that was 3 feet by 4 feet," Osborne says. "I threw a tray on top for drinks and popcorn."
• Build a corner banquette for eating. This will unify the room and save space. Hinge the banquette seats as well for deep storage of punch bowls, lobster pots, turkey trays and the like. Cover the cushions and backs with stain-resistant fabric.
• Float your sofa to break up a large room. If the sofa is 15 feet away from the TV or from the chairs across from it, no one is going to use it. Move your sitting area together so that family and friends can have a comfortable conversation.
• If you have gas in your kitchen, run a gas line and install a direct vent gas fireplace on an exterior wall so it vents like a clothes dryer. Fireplaces add a visual focus and center a room. Float your sofa or sectional in front of the fireplace to create an intimate room within a room.
"What's better than a fire that doesn't need logs and starts with a clicker?" she says. "This can be done for under $1,000."

Today, the Obama Administration released nine previously secret legal documents written by the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush Administration. The release includes two previously undisclosed OLC memoranda and seven previously undisclosed OLC opinions. According to the DOJ, "The two memoranda memorialized that certain legal propositions in ten OLC opinions issued between 2001 and 2003 no longer reflected the views of OLC and 'should not be treated as authoritative for any purpose.'" For example, the January 15, 2009 memo withdraws reliance on several Bush Administration opinions, including the opinion that the Fourth Amendment did not apply to domestic military operations.
Here is the list of the OLC documents released today:
Memorandum Regarding Status of Certain OLC Opinions Issued in the Aftermath of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 (01-15-2009)
Memorandum Regarding Constitutionality of Amending Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to Change the "Purpose" Standard for Searches (09-25-2001)
Memorandum Regarding Authority for Use of Military Force to Combat Terrorist Activities within the United States (10-23-2001)
Memorandum Regarding Authority of the President to Suspend Certain Provisions of the ABM Treaty (11-15-2001)
Memorandum Regarding the President's Power as Commander in Chief to Transfer Captured Terrorists to the Control and Custody of Foreign Nations (03-13-2002)
Memorandum Regarding Swift Justice Authorization Act (04-08-2002)
Memorandum Regarding Determination of Enemy Belligerency and Military Detention (06-08-2002)
Memorandum Regarding Applicability of 18 U.S.C. § 4001(a) to Military Detention of United States Citizens (06-27-2002)
Memorandum Regarding October 23, 2001 OLC Opinion Addressing the Domestic Use of Military Force to Combat Terrorist Activities (10-06-2008)
We've brought you several posts explaining Warner's unfortunate crusade to censor its music from YouTube videos, even when those activities would clearly qualify as fair use. Here's a concrete example: a YouTube creator that goes by the moniker Dust Films has pioneered a new parody video genre, the "literal video." The idea is to change the lyrics to famous music videos to describe what is actually going on in the video itself. The results are hilarious. Two examples, both of which were removed on YouTube (but still available at FunnyOrDie.com), are Under the Bridge and Take on Me.
If you want a real treat, check out his latest effort, which brilliantly skewers Billy Idol's 80s classic, White Wedding.
Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the government's appeal of Chief Judge Vaughn Walker's January 5, 2009, decision in Al-Haramain v. Obama (formerly known as Al-Haramain v. Bush - The case title changed automatically after the inauguration). The government had also filed an emergency motion to stay the case pending the appeal.
Circuit Judges Pregerson, Hawkins and McKeown issued a one paragraph order:
We agree with the district court that the January 5, 2009 order is not appropriate for interlocutory appeal. The government's appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. The government's motion for a stay is DENIED as moot.
This ruling is good news because it means that the warrantless wiretapping case can proceed.
On January 5, Chief Judge Walker had denied the government's third motion to dismiss the Al-Haramain litigation and set up a process to allow the Al Haramain plaintiffs to prosecute the case while protecting classified information. See our previous Deeplink blog post for more information about the case and the decision.
We've made two amazing additions to our staff with a new Systems Administrator and a new Membership Coordinator. Here's a quick introduction to our two newest staff members!
Aaron Jue comes to us from the New England Aquarium, where he gained experience working as membership coordinator, and the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, where the history of internment of Japanese citizens during WWII got him interested in civil liberties. As it turns out, Aaron's resume said nothing about the fact that he possesses an incredible talent for baking — and sculpting — unusual cakes. To bid farewell to outgoing membership director Nicole Nguyen, he crafted a cake designed to look uncannily like a New Zealand sheep's head (thus endearing himself to the cake-mad EFF staff).
We received many applications for a new Systems Administrator position, and even in this crowded field, Stuart Matthews stood out. Not only is Stu thoroughly qualified — his former job was as a Systems Administrator for IS Logistics — but Stu was already known around EFF as our "über-volunteer." Stu would work his full night shift sysadmin'ing, and then come to EFF before heading home to fold t-shirts and generally help out. Stu has a special interest in free speech, privacy and IP issues, and the requisite passion for drum and bass.
Welcome Aaron and Stuart!
Last month we reported that Warner Music Group was using YouTube's Content I.D. (aka Video I.D.) tool to effectively censor myriad fair uses. We asked people to contact us if they needed legal help and put up a YouTube removal primer to give folks information about their options. As a result we've seen beautiful film montages set to music, videos to assist the hearing impaired, and many other examples of amazing artistic talent that have been censored by Warner Music.
But it turns out the problem is even worse than we thought. One way to check Warner's abuse is for fair users to challenge improper Content I.D. takedowns. But very few are willing to do so, because they are afraid of the consequences.
Why are people scared? Because our broken copyright system leaves them facing the prospect of paying outrageous statutory damages and even possibly Warner's attorneys' fees if they stand up, fight back and, despite overwhelming odds in their favor, lose. It's a gamble with their life savings that most people just aren't willing to take, even when their works are clear fair uses and even if EFF gives them free legal help.
Of course, it's hardly in the interest of a copyright owner to sue a creator who has engaged in an obvious fair use. In fact, we're not aware of any content owner ever suing an individual YouTube user over a remix video. And since Warner is taking the videos down sight unseen, there's no indication Warner actually objects to any particular video. So these creative, beautiful works are simply collateral damage in Warner's negotiation with YouTube over revenue sharing. Thus, the Content I.D. tool, in the hands of a careless copyright owner, has helped create the worst of all worlds: incredibly easy takedowns on one side, and an intimidating put-back procedure that seems to invite legal risk on the other.
While YouTube is partially at fault for giving Warner this censorship-friendly Content ID tool, it's time for Warner to take some responsibility and stop the censorship.
The best thing for Warner to do is to go back to how it treated videos before. The Content ID system should be set to flag possible infringing works and then Warner should have a human review those works before they are taken down. This is, after all, what Viacom (not exactly a softie on copyright issues) does.
At a minimum, Warner should reassure legitimate fair users who want to notify them when the ID tool is overblocking. Specifically, Warner should promise that no one will be sued for simply filing a "dispute" on a Content I.D. takedown. Even after a "dispute" is filed, Warner has the option of using a DMCA takedown notice to target videos that it really objects to, so Warner should give YouTubers comfort by saying they won't escalate straight to lawsuit after a "dispute" filing, without first availing themselves of their DMCA takedown option.
In the meantime, though, we still want to hear from folks who have been targeted by Warner, because if Warner doesn't stop on its own we still want to intervene in this fight. Before you contact us, take a look at our YouTube removal primer, but if you made a fair use video and you want to fight back, we want to hear from you.
Scientists who receive funding from the National Institutes of Health are required to make their research publicly available within 12 months after the research is published. This "open access" policy not only promotes free scientific communication and innovation, it strikes many as fundamentally fair. After all, shouldn't taxpayers have direct access to the extraordinary wealth of essential research they fund? Moreover, as copyright professor James Boyle points out, the open availability of health research can have the laudable effect of giving patients the information they need to make important medical decisions. And because of the 12 month delay before the research is publicly available (and because the scientific community will always be interested in hearing about new research without any lag time) the subscription-based journals that publish the works first have plenty of time to recoup any investment they make in the original.
With all this operating in favor of open access, we were disappointed to see Rep. Conyers reintroduce H.R. 801, the poorly named Fair Copyright in Research Works Act. The bill's provisions -- written to benefit publishers who view this as an attack on their traditional effective monopolies over scientific expression -- would foreclose on all the benefits mentioned above and seeks to prevent the government from expanding the open access approach to research funded by other agencies. That's why the bill is being opposed by EFF and numerous groups that fight to preserve patient rights and the public interest: Alliance for Taxpayer Access, the American Library Association, the Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Coalitions (SPARC), 33 US Nobel laureates in science, and more.
Open access to research benefits scientists and citizens alike. Shutting it down only helps a few publishers squeeze a few drops of additional revenue from the research that our tax dollars paid for. Our representatives in Washington should straighten out their priorities, put their constituents first, and reject this dangerous bill.

1994 Dodge Ram 3500 ProblemsCheck Engine Light Due to Pinched Leak Detection Pump Vacuum Lines
If a Check Engine Light illuminates indicating leak detection pump (LDP) failure, the cause is often pinched or disconnected vacuum lines to the pump. Vacuum lines should be inspected before replacing the leak detection pump. Contamination (carbon or debris) in the pump can cause failure and any hoses should be cleared before a new pump is installed.
Engine overheating can result from coolant leaks which are commonly found at the thermostat housing gasket, water pump, heater return tube O-ring at the water pump, intake manifold gasket, and timing cover gasket. Our technicians recommend a complete inspection of the cooling system after any repairs are made to be sure there are no other leaks.
One the 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 the carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. As the buildup increases with mileage and over time, symptoms may vary from light ticking, to ticking/hammering, to hammering/knocking noises. Fuel injector cleaner often solves the problem.

BOSTON — Roseann Sdoia still thinks about how all the shrapnel flew. How some people were hit and some weren't, all inches away from one another. She would love to understand it because not a day has gone by since the Boston Marathon bombings when she hasn't had to cope with the aftermath.
More than two months later, the 45-year-old amputee is learning how to walk on the artificial limb that has replaced part of her right leg after an above-the-knee amputation.
The physical therapy is something other marathon amputees have either already undergone or will experience in the future. While some bombing survivors have had their artificial limbs for a while, others have yet to get to the stage Sdoia has reached.
"In all honesty, do I wish I had it? Of course, no," Sdoia said on a recent afternoon after physical therapy. "But I think I like it better with the leg on than without the leg. Looking in the mirror, yeah, it's difficult. And if anybody says it isn't, they're lying."
On April 15, she saw a flash of light at her feet while watching for a friend to pass her on Boylston Street on the way to the race's finish line. Then she heard a popping noise and realized it was too late to run away.
Sdoia didn't want anyone to push her in a wheelchair or to think too much about the bombers who changed her life and ended three others. As time passed, she found her emotions weren't as raw as in the beginning. But being up on two legs again has brought some strong feelings bubbling to the surface.
The resident of Boston's North End spent about a week at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital recently for therapy aimed at getting her accustomed to her new prosthetic. Part of that meant time looking in the mirror, studying her gait and trying to accept a new image that can bring a few tears when she talks about it.
In mid-May, she left Spaulding on crutches and returned home for the first time, vowing to move forward and take one day of her recovery at a time.
While she still has questions about what happened that day, she said she thinks of herself as the same person who is just starting another chapter of life.
"I don't think it's changed me in any fashion. I just continue to be who I am," she said. "Some people think it's inspiring. I think that's kind of funny."

Formula One: Schuey Shunt Is Just the Pits
Byline: BY BYRON YOUNG
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER blotted his copybook at Silverstone yesterday with a mistake more familiar to the fans in the grandstands than a seven-time world champion.
The Ferrari driver lost concentration coming into the pits at the end of first practice and failed to notice Nick Heidfeld braking sharply in front of him.
In a scene familiar on motorways across the country, Schumacher braked too late and slammed into the back of his countryman's Williams.
Schumacher was lucky not to damage his car too severely but admitted after he was to blame.
The 36-year-old, who has started 222 Grands Prix and is known as the safest pair of hands in the pitlane, said: "There was small damage on the nose - it was not that bad.
"I wasn't concentrating enough - but I didn't expect him to brake that early."
Just like the 100,000 fans who will stream through the gates at Silverstone tomorrow, Schumacher concedes he has no idea who will come out on top in the British Grand Prix. …


text: "Scissor" is one of the best track of Liars' latest record, Sisterworld - its smooth hums and then abrupt kicks and thrashes are unexpected and perfectly executed. The new video for "Scissor" was directed by Andy Bruntel, who's also worked with Bonnie Prince Billy and Stephen Malkmus, and is completely fitting for the tense and paranoid tone of the song. In the clip, which was filmed on location around Marina del Rey, a man (played by Liars front man Angus Andrews) is lost at sea and gets hijacked by a bunch of high-speed rocks. Yeah, rocks. Be patient with this video - you have to let the agitation in the music build along with the action, and the ending is thriller-movie awesome.

In wicket 1.4.18 I have quite similar problem, whole file is being uploaded despite the fact that there is not enough space on disk. I used setMaxSize to set 10GB, but I have only 4GB. If I try to upload bigger file than 4GB, nothing happens after file is sent (Chrome reaches 100% upload, and then nothing happens, code doesn't reach my onSubmit, and debugging doesn't seem to help to understand what happens).
Can anybody tell me if this might be related or should I open new ticket for this?
I have a work-around that at least gracefully closes the UploadProgressBar. Although Tomcat still processes the entire file. I override FileUploadField and return null if the file size is too big. On my file upload form I then check for null and call error() (this means no file was selected or the file was too big so the error message must be according).
Please note the forms max size must be greather than the max size set in the CustomFileUploadField.
public class CustomFileUploadField extends FileUploadField {
public CustomFileUploadField(String id){ super(id); }
public CustomFileUploadField(String id, IModel<FileUpload> model){ super(id, model); }
public FileUpload getFileUpload() {
// Get request
final Request request = getRequest();
final FileItem item = ((IMultipartWebRequest)request).getFile(getInputName());
// If we successfully installed a multipart request
if (item != null && request instanceof IMultipartWebRequest) {
if (item.getSize() > Constants.MAXSIZE){ return null; }
if (item.getSize() > 0){ return new FileUpload(item); }
return null;
Concerning the situation in Tomcat, please see the following discussions (and fix for Tomcat 7):
New patch removing the iframe created to submit the form uploading the file and using the UploadStatusResource to return the same response that AjaxRequestTarget would, and use wikcet-ajax.js API to handle it.
Tested in IE 7,8,9, Safari, Chrome, Firefox
In Opera it is not working fine because the browser is loading the file regardless the output stream writing it to server, in the end the cached response is not read/removed from cache because the regular response is hit the browser before the cached one.
@devs I will try to figure out how to solve this problem, but I'm afraid of get the wrong path here.
The last patch I sent works fine in IE 7, 8, 9, Chrome, Safari and Firefox. But it still can be improved in two different ways:
- currently it only works if the form was submitted by an AJAX submit component
- perhaps we can change UploadStatusResource to return the same response that AjaxRequestTarget would, and use wikcet-ajax.js API to handle it. It would be even better strategy because feedback panels would be updated instead of the progress bar status div.
Patch removing the iframe of the form uploading the file and reporting the limit exceed message.
this also occurs wicket 1.4.17
Further debugging showed that this is done by the servlet container (both jetty and tomcat) so it might be not posible to do anything about it in wicket.

Officially referred to as Tokyo Metropolis, Tokyo is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. It is also the country's capital, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area and the largest metropolitan area in the whole world. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace. Flights to Tokyo will land in the midst of a rich neon-lit city, with the most fascinating nightlife you can find.
Take any of the cheap flights to Tokyo and get a taste of Mexico in Agave. If you are a Tequila lover, this place is paradise for you. You can choose from over 350 brands. The walls of this venue are adorned by Frida Kahlo prints and Zapata posters, while the background is soothed by Mexican music which plays over the speakers. The food here is invariably loaded with salsa and guacamole. In spite of all this, this place has managed not to feel like some theme bar. Being seriously committed to their drinks, the cocktails here are ambrosial and you can have a lot of fun testing the unknown waters of the tequila collection.
Be sure to pay a visit to Amrta, a venue in a tucked away spot near Roppongi. Somewhat hidden, this is an atmospheric after-hours space, a secret you wouldn't want to share. The décor is rather simple and the soft-toned and low-lit basement room attracts a smartly attired clientele. People usually crowd here to enjoy a late drink after dinner. You can also listen to some pretty amazing live music, appropriately smoky jazz or local DJs. The walls are decorated with local arts, which are changed monthly. So start looking up airfares and nurse a beer or two in this charming place.
Grab your cheap tickets to Tokyo and get ready to be wooed by Aquavit, a stylish Scandinavian lounge bar tucked away in the bustling Kita-Aoyama neighborhood. It has siblings in both New York and Stockholm, but the Tokyo branch is just as sleek, clean and effortlessly hip, full of funky Austin Powers-style egg chairs and green velvet booths care of famous Swedish designers. The creative menu of cocktails offers a wide range of unusual drinks based on aquavit, the potent Scandinavian schnapps and a variety of delicious Swedish nibbles.
After you've got the best fares, you will be rewarded at Bar Rage. You will be whisked up in a tiny adorable elevator into this little bar overseen by the gifted Tomoyuki Kitazoe. Famous for his original fruit syrups, Tomoyuki is not keen on elaborate garnishes, preferring sprigs of herbs or a piece of grilled fruit. The place is known for its serious art of mixing cocktails. You can browse through an extensive vintage liquor collection. Try the pear, mango or honey martini and you'll understand exactly how fantastic a place this is.

No, not that clicking.
Clicks are the new currency in an Internet economy. We all know that. But it's never been more true than in the case of a charitable promotion being run by Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union--one that comes to an exciting climax today.
No, not that clicking.
Seattle Metropolitan is going to give away $5,000 to a worthy non-profit organization--depending on which of seven finalists receives the most votes on the credit union's Web site. The potential winners include, for example, a group that prepares meals for the homeless and a scrappy theater company (Wing-It Productions).
There are no limits to voting. No registering or providing email addresses. You can just keep refreshing the page and voting again and again. It's all about passion and dogged determination.
So it may not be too much of a surprise which of the seven groups has managed to take a commanding lead.
The promotion, called "op:co op (operation cooperation)" is the latest phase of a a huge marketing and re-branding effort that Seattle Metropolitan, like other local credit unions, has undertaken over the past couple years. Their aim: Take advantage of recent financial distress and PR blackeyes suffered by big corporate banks, while painting themselves as a folksier, more benign home for your ridiculously low-interest-earning savings account.
Seattle Metropolitan even pledges to be guided by 7 Principles, with Principle #7 being: Giving Back to the Community is an Obligation. This is apparently a principle also shared by the people who brought us KeyArena and the Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmunson Pavilion. Though they never did it with such cute graphics.
Back to the competition. Online voting began earlier this week and with just a few hours left (clicking ends at 5 p.m.), handicapping the race appears fairly easy. A tiny cooperative preschool on the Eastside, which employs just one teacher and assistant, and relies heavily on parent volunteers, has so far been trouncing the competition. They've generated over 130,000 votes/clicks--more than twice the nearest competitor. Carnation Co-op says it will use the $5,000 to pay for future operating expenses and provide tuition aid.
Carnation's lean, mean clicking machine.
Back in seventh place is Amputee Advocates, who've mustered significantly fewer clicks. (Sorry, but it's true.) Their digits were still shy of 2,000 as of yesterday evening.
Of course, for those of us in the online media business, clicks also translate into cash. The more page-views we get, the more advertising revenue we generate. So...seeing what those kids and their parents out in Carnation are capable of, I'd like to suggest that they get in touch when this contest is over. We too might be able to work out an arrangement.
[Disclosure: I have friends in another of the finalist organizations, one that also appears to have no chance of winning.]

Perpetual Energy Inc. Signs Purchase And Sale Agreement For The Divestiture Of Elmworth Property For Net Proceeds Of $77.5 Million
CALGARY, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - (TSX:PMT) - Perpetual Energy Inc. ("Perpetual" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce further positive results from the Corporation's ongoing asset disposition program. Perpetual has entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement, along with its partner Tourmaline Oil Corp., to jointly divest its Elmworth, Alberta property for gross proceeds of $155 million, $77.5 million net to Perpetual, subject to certain closing adjustments and transaction costs. This transaction is currently expected to close on or prior to March 1, 2013. The Elmworth property consists of 3 gross (1.5 net) non-producing horizontal Montney gas wells at Elmworth, one vertical well at Wapiti, and undeveloped land, including 20,256 net acres of Montney rights. This disposition will have no negative effect on Perpetual's 2013 projected production or cash flow, and interest expense will be reduced by approximately $4 million on an annual basis, assuming that the proceeds permanently reduce bank debt.Due to the long development timeline and significant capital required to build sour gas infrastructure into the Elmworth area to establish cost-efficient production, Perpetual has chosen to build the liquids-rich gas component of its diversified portfolio around the robust inventory of Wilrich horizontal development opportunities in the greater Edson area. Proceeds from this disposition will initially be applied to reduce outstanding bank debt and, along with the interest savings on reduced bank debt, will significantly bolster Perpetual's financial flexibility to continue to deploy capital to its chosen key commodity-diversifying growth strategies in Mannville heavy oil and Edson liquids-rich Wilrich gas development. It will also allow Perpetual to continue to advance the Corporation's portfolio of medium and long term value and growth plays with risk-managed investment. In addition, this transaction provides added optionality for managing the Corporation's long term debt obligations. Current drawings on the Corporation's $130 million credit facility are approximately $85 million. Proforma for the announced dispositions and the Corporation's planned $40 million first quarter 2013 capital spending program, and assuming the current forward markets for commodity prices, Perpetual expects to exit the first quarter of 2013 drawn approximately $35 to $40 million on its credit facility. Forward-Looking Information Certain information regarding Perpetual in this news release including management's assessment of future plans and operations may constitute forward-looking statements under applicable securities laws. The forward-looking information includes, without limitation, statements regarding prospective drilling activities; forecast debt levels and credit facility draws; forecast and realized commodity prices; expected funding and timing of capital expenditures; projected use of funds flow; planned drilling and development and the results thereof; expected dispositions and the use of proceeds therefrom; effects of dispositions on production, cash flow, debt levels, liquidity and financial flexibility; commodity prices; and estimated interest expense. Forward-looking information is based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks, which could cause actual results to vary and in some instances to differ materially from those anticipated by Perpetual and described in the forward looking information contained in this press release. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information, which is not a guarantee of performance and is subject to a number of risks or uncertainties, including without limitation those described under "Risk Factors" in Perpetual's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2011 and those included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities which may be accessed through the SEDAR website ( www.sedar.com and at Perpetual's website www.perpetualenergyinc.com). Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Forward-looking information is based on the estimates and opinions of Perpetual's management at the time the information is released and Perpetual disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as expressly required by applicable securities laws.

@pratnala: I have noticed your question... First of all, just to remind, here are the current capabilities of the Trackpad++ for Windows 8:
Improved basics:
1.) Accelerated/natural scrolling model implemented;
2.) Better pointer ballistics (i.e. how a pointer speed depends on a finger speed; six optimal presets built-in);
3.) Bug-free dragging with two fingers (both fingers allowed to move freely, unlike with Boot Camp-native driver), plus a unique option to increase the pointer speed while dragging;
4.) User-customizable option to ignore accidental trackpad input when typing, option to eliminate accidental drag'n'drop actions (for tap-style dragging);
Advanced multitouch gestures:
1.) Horizontal 2-finger swiping to the left from outside the right edge (action: show/hide Charms Bar, the gesture shall be performed like this: http://powerplan7.com/OutsideSwipe.gif)
2.) Horizontal 2-finger swiping to the right from outside the left edge (action: show/hide Metro Switcher if at least 1 Metro app is running)
3.) Horizontal 3-finger swiping (action: back / forward)
4.) Vertical 3-finger swiping (action: zoom in / zoom out)
5.) 3-finger tap (action: middle mouse button)
6.) Horizontal 4-finger swiping (action: show/hide Charms Bar)
7.) Vertical 4-finger swiping (action: minimize/restore open windows)
8.) 4-finger tap (action: show/hide Start screen)
Supported Apple Macbook Pro generations: Early 2009, Mid 2009, Mid 2010, Early 2011, Late 2011, Mid 2012 / Retina.
Supported Apple Macbook Air generations: Mid 2009, Late 2010, Mid 2011, Mid 2012.
As for the future plans, yes, I'm working on some very cool new features! I think I will release them in 2013. But don't ask me when exactly... A lot of work is required, that's all I can tell.

I've always been the real fan of your tools, Vlad. The new version of your driver for Windows 8 just rocks! I received rMBP a few days ago and made a clean install of the full retail Windows 8 as suggested and put BootCamp drivers for Windows 7. Then I've put Power Plan Assist and Trackpad++. Everything's working like charm. As always with your beautiful tools, Vlad! And the edge-gesures are so native, my congrats for making this possible!!!
Just one feature request, if you don't mind: Please add a dragging with 3 fingers. That would be soooo awesome!
V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r Nov 1, 2012 12:21 AM
in response to FrederiQ
Thank you... An important thing everyone should realize about the 3-finger dragging in Trackpad++: 3-finger dragging would disable the much beloved 3-finger back/forward gesture plus it will disable 3-finger up/down, which is currently set to "discrete zoom in/out". Are you ready to sacrifice those? Also note that ordinary dragging (with physical click) is working perfectly with Trackpad++, it's strictly identical ot OS X. It's not the Boot Camp **** where you can move fingers in the very limited bottom area of the trackpad only, otherwise the false right-click is triggered.
pratnala Nov 1, 2012 3:50 AM
in response to V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r
I think till you can implement a pinch and zoom gesture, three finger zoom must stay!! And I don't miss 3 finger dragging anyway.
Vlad, I had an off-topic question for you. On your Windows on a Mac machines, does the Bluetooth work? For me, it just adds the device and nothing else. No way to transfer files or anything. Please let me know
V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r Nov 2, 2012 1:01 AM
in response to pratnala
Regarding your off-topic question: all I can tell you, my Bluetooth mouse is working fine in Boot Camp. Maybe seek for some Bluetooth file transfer relevant topics at this forum. If they exist
pratnala Nov 2, 2012 1:15 AM
in response to V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r
Well, I'm asking about file transfers and the like. I found a topic but that's for Windows 7 and it doesn't work on Windows 8. That's why I asked you
Or, probably you could code a driver
FrederiQ Nov 3, 2012 10:17 AM
in response to V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r
Now I realize, three-finger back/forward navigation is the feature I use most of all the Trackpad++ goods! And three-finger tap to open web tabs in background is brilliant, too! So I wouldn't sacrifice those for three-finger dragging! Now I realize! Thank you for explanation Vladimir!!

in response to V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r
Zoom is something I never use, so I'm using Autohotkey to map it to scrolling to top/bottom instead, but It's far from perfect with my workarounds for working on non-selected but hovered windows. It pretty much only works in the web browser, and not inside folders.
Still hoping for an option to choose what to do with different gestures.
Anyway, another feature request:
Can you make tap-to-click to work in the Windows login screen?
ajp_anton Nov 5, 2012 9:20 AM
in response to V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r
Also (just installed the new version so had to go through my settings again), I still need to invert the direction of
4-finger gestures (which I don't use at all) in order to invert the vertical 3-finger gesture.
And another question, since you mentioned doing something with the backlight:
Could you make the backlight strength NOT dependent on whether AC is connected or not?
More often than you'd think I'm in a dark room with the backlight at minimum, and then I need to charge the battery, and boom, the backlight goes to maximum (as that's what it was last time the power cord was connected) and I'm temporarily blind.
Maybe a Power Plan Assistant feature?

Yes, Boot Camp-native screen brightness management is too far from perfect. And yes, one of the "cool features" I dream of is the total fix for the poor brightness control offered by Apple to us Windows users. And there are good hopes to have this implemented in the future!

in response to V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r
Hm, how is it Apple's fault? There are independent brightness controls under Power Options for "On battery" and "Plugged in", and they are independent for each power plan (High perf, Balanced, Power saver), so by default there are actually 6 independent brightness controls.
So I wasn't really hoping for an Apple-specific fix, but more like an extra independent "hack"/fix for Microsoft's stupidity. I've been searching for a solution for a long time and found nothing...
So yeah, it's a bit off-topic, but since you brought up the brightness control, I thought I'd mention it =).

@ajp_anton: I have understood you. As for the fault of Apple: step between the brightness states is too big. And actually at a half of the scale it nearly matches 80% of OS X scale.
@All: Back to the Trackpad++ . The most popular new question from the users is "what is the difference between the Trackpad++ for Windows 7 and Windows 8". So I think I will provide the answer right here.
Windows 8-only features:
1.) Horizontal 2-finger swipe to the left from outside the right edge (action: show/hide Charms Bar, the gesture shall be performed like this: http://powerplan7.com/OutsideSwipe.gif)
2.) Horizontal 2-finger swipe to the right from outside the left edge (action: show/hide Metro Switcher if at least 1 Metro app is running)
3.) Horizontal 4-finger swipe (action: show/hide Charms Bar)
4.) 4-finger tap (action: show/hide Start screen)
5.) Option to "respect focus" for scrolling in an underlying window regardless of the focus state (it's always on in Windows 7, but made user-configurable in Windows 8, because of the incompatibility with certain Metro apps)
Windows 7-only features:
1.) Vertical 4-finger swipe down (action: show all windows using the Windows Flip 3D feature)
2.) Horizontal 4-finger swipe (action: Alt-Tab alternative)
Note: both features cannot be involved programmically in Windows 8 (one was thrown away by Microsoft, and the second, unlike in Windows 7 requires the signed code to be called from!)
Common features (available both in Windows 7 and Windows 8):
1.) Horizontal 3-finger swipe (action: back / forward)
2.) Vertical 3-finger swipe (action: zoom in / zoom out)
3.) 3-finger tap (action: middle mouse button)
4.) Vertical 4-finger swiping (action: minimize/restore open windows, although the method is different per OS, see above)
5.) Accelerated/natural scrolling model implemented
6.) Better pointer ballistics (i.e. how a pointer speed depends on a finger speed; six optimal presets built-in)
7.) Bug-free dragging with two fingers (both fingers allowed to move freely, unlike with Boot Camp-native driver), plus a unique option to increase the pointer speed while dragging
8.) User-customizable option to ignore accidental trackpad input when typing, option to eliminate accidental drag'n'drop actions (for tap-style dragging)

Hey Vladimir,
It's me again! Any chance to utilize 5-finger gestures for something? In Windows 8! Just wondering. Thanks!
V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r Nov 10, 2012 1:39 AM
in response to FrederiQ
@Frederiq: In fact, the Trackpad++ driver is capable of detecting up to 11 fingers . The question is, how convenient is it to perform such gestures... so, probably up 4 fingers (like it is now) is an optimal setup. Yet I do not deny some 5-finger gestures will be utilized in the future versions of the Trackpad++ for Windows 8.

All those other suckers, keep selling! The moreyou sell the more TSRI can get a good deal on price.Earnings up!!!! 0.24 I am now waiting for a good time tobuy a lot more. Congraduations management for therepurchases. Keep doing it aggressively, don't listen to thenaysayers. Earnings growth is earnings growth, luckily theprice is low.
Net income DOWN 9% over last year. Again I saythat without the stock buyback we would of had a badreport. What will they do to rise net income next time?How many shares will they buy back to make it lookgood? Due your own DD.
I am in the private equity business and we haveseveral companies in the space in our portfolio. Theyhave all suffered from this Y2K slowdown. TSRI appearsto have digested all of the Y2K business loss andfuture quarters will show some growth and least won't benegatively effected by the Y2K business. I think anotherround of buybacks would really move the stock at thispoint since the coming quarters will be much easierthat the last few. All of the IT servicesbusinesses are improving and a rising tide floats all boats.Focus on free cash flow (this company generates a ton)and think of the possibilities. This little companyis too thin for the day traders (are morepolitically correct active traders), however, it is greatlong term hold for the few investors would still havea calculator and understand cash flow, price toearnings ratios and appreciate crystal clean balancesheets. Buy this stock and put it in a drawer.For the record I am long on TRSI and have been ashareholder for awhile. Good luck to everyone. Assome of these "bull market investors" sell largeblocks take advantage of thier ignorance and shortattention spans to snatch up a good deal.

Fox News figures praised Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's foreign policy address as "presidential" and "a significant step forward."
Trump Claims His Foreign Policy Will Put "America First." According to an April 27 New York Times article, Trump gave a speech on his vision for foreign policy, criticizing President Obama and Hillary Clinton for what he described as "missteps that have disillusioned the nation's allies and emboldened its rivals":
Donald J. Trump, exuding confidence after his resounding primary victories in the East, promised a foreign policy on Wednesday that he said would put "America first." He castigated President Obama and Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state and a possible opponent in the general election, for what he described as a string of missteps that have disillusioned the nation's allies and emboldened its rivals.
Mr. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, pledged a major buildup of the military, the swift destruction of the Islamic State and the rejection of trade deals that he said tied the nation's hands. But he also pointedly rejected the nation-building of the George W. Bush administration, reminding his audience that he had opposed the Iraq war.
"America is going to be strong again; America is going to be great again; it's going to be a friend again," Mr. Trump said. "We're going to finally have a coherent foreign policy, based on American interests and the shared interests of our allies." [The New York Times, 4/27/16]
Sean Hannity: "This Was A Pretty Amazing Speech Today, Obviously Presidential In Nature." On the April 27 edition of Fox's Sean Hannity's radio show The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity praised Trump's speech as "amazing" and "obviously presidential in nature" and said:
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): This was a pretty amazing speech today, obviously presidential in nature, obviously depth and -- just the opposite of the way Trump has run his campaign up to this point, where he gave a scripted foreign policy speech that went into much detail at the Center for National Interests. He used lines like, "It's time to shake off the rust of America's foreign policy, invite new voices, new visions into the fold is something that we have to do." The direction he outlines he said will also return us to a timeless principle and that "foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people and American security above all else." It has to be first, it has to be. And then he went on to say that America first will be the major overriding theme of his administration. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Sean Hannity Show, 4/27/16]
John Bolton: Trump's Speech Was "A Significant Step Forward." On the April 28 edition of Fox News' Happening Now, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Fox contributor John Bolton lauded Trump's foreign policy speech as "a significant step forward." Bolton claimed the address "brought Trump more into the mainstream" of GOP thinking and added that the purpose of the speech was to put Trump's campaign "in a more presidential mode":
GREGG JARRETT (HOST): John Bolton is a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a Fox News contributor. Ambassador, good to see you. He advocated aggressiveness while advocating disengagement. Confusing?
JOHN BOLTON: Well, I don't think that's exactly what he was saying. I think the points that he was trying to make, as I heard the speech, center on making American national interests the touchstone of what our foreign policy's based on. And I think in far too many cases we have strayed from that into a kind of abstract philosophy about what's good for the whole world. The job of the president is to protect America. Others can look after themselves. So in that sense, I think by focusing on what's important to us, he was able to go into a critique of Obama over the last seven years, and he basically repeated there what virtually every Republican member of the House and the Senate has said, namely, that under Obama our friends don't respect us and our enemies don't fear us. So I actually think the speech brought Trump more into the mainstream of Republican foreign policy, we can have a debate on it obviously on specifics, but I thought it was a significant step forward. [Fox News, Happening Now, 4/28/16]
Laura Ingraham: Trump's Foreign Policy Is "The Only Thing We Should Be Doing." On the April 28 edition of Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham's The Laura Ingraham Show, Ingraham compared Trump's "sane" foreign policy speech with President Obama's "muddled" international efforts and described the priorities Trump outlined as "the only thing we should be doing ":
LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): What's more in tune with the way your family talks about foreign policy? You hear your friends down the road, you know, conversation at work. What's more sane? Thinking you're going to turn Middle Eastern countries into Western democracies or the idea of conserving our resources, rebuilding the homefront, and only getting involved in conflicts when it makes sense for the United States of America? To me, to me the latter is the only thing we should be doing. I love how people act like it's still 2004, or, frankly, 1996 and our economy, we have a budget, budget balanced, we have no heavy debt to really speak of. And people just act like it doesn't matter how much debt we have, it doesn't matter how much we owe the world, it doesn't matter much in the way of bonds we have outstanding. None of that matters; we can keep just spending money like there's no tomorrow. Hey, if the next generation has to have its social security cut, or draconian cuts in things that they paid into, then so be it. That's just what we have to do. Then you have Obama that just has no coherent foreign policy at all except just to weaken us. So on the one hand you have the neoconservative foreign policy, which is basically you've never met a war you don't like. On the other hand you have Obama, which is completely muddled, and I guess it's foreign policy by drone. [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 4/28/16]
Harris Faulkner: "Clearly [Trump's] Got Something Behind Him Now That's Working." On the April 28 edition of Fox News' Outnumbered, co-host Harris Faulkner praised Donald Trump for his "real, intimate understanding" of "where the Obama doctrine...has failed" and said Trump "was connected with the material" and "clearly he's got something behind him now that's working":
HARRIS FAULKNER (CO-HOST): Even as you were watching that speech yesterday, what Donald Trump did at first was lay out where the Obama doctrine, if you will, has failed. He had a real, intimate understanding of that, and I realize there was a prompter involved, but I never, you know, just from watching, because we covered it live here on Outnumbered, it happened during our hour. We have dissected enough of these types of speeches and news conferences by a lot of people to know when somebody is kind of faking the funk. I mean, he was connected with the material. Now, he's got a lot of advisers, we don't know who the lists are, but clearly he's got something behind him now that's working. [Fox News, Outnumbered, 4/28/16]
Fox's Gillian Turner: "This Was The Best Tone And Tenor We've Heard From Him." On the April 28 edition of Fox News' Happening Now, Fox's Gillian Turner said Trump's speech "was the best tone and tenor we've heard from him on the national defense, probably for the duration of the campaign so far" and said she "would have liked to have seen it six to eight months ago":
JON SCOTT (HOST): Gillian, I know that all of Washington, the foreign policy establishment, you might say, has been waiting for this speech. What do you think they heard? How is it being received?
GILLIAN TURNER: A lot of anticipation surrounding it. The question was is this going to be Mr. Trump's sort of come to Jesus moment with the establishment, and I believe that it was. This was the best tone and tenor we've heard from him on the national defense, probably for the duration of the campaign so far. I agree with the ambassador, I would have liked to have seen it six to eight months ago, would have made me feel a lot better about his prospects as commander in chief, but what I think he did today was he brought the substance to the heart of the Washington establishment. And I think that's going to go a long way towards engendering some good will going forward as he tries to build his foreign policy team. [Fox News, Happening Now, 4/27/16]

Rush Limbaugh ridiculed complaints that the Republican National Convention delegate selection process is rigged, a claim that has been repeatedly made by Donald Trump.
In the last few weeks, Trump and his allies have made what the New York Times has characterized as "an aggressive effort to undermine the Republican nominating process by framing it as rigged and corrupt," as rival candidate Ted Cruz has "outmaneuvered him in delegate contests in states like Colorado, North Dakota and Iowa." The result of Cruz's moves could result in Trump being short of the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump complained, "Our Republican system is absolutely rigged. It's a phony deal." His campaign recently hired Roger Stone associate Paul Manafort to oversee efforts to keep delegates in line ahead of the convention. The Times said the hire was "a sign that Mr. Trump is intensifying his focus on delegate wrangling as his opponents mount a tenacious effort to deny him the 1,237 delegates he would need to secure the Republican nomination."
On the April 25 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh attacked claims that the process is being rigged or that the delegate fight is beyond traditional campaign activity.
Limbaugh told his audience, "nobody is being cheated," pointing out that "I'm really trying to get you to not think that this particular system is being rigged or you're being cheated. You're not, this is how politics is."
Limbaugh noted that the strategy being used by the Cruz campaign "has always been the way it happens," adding, "There is nothing happening this year that has not happened before in terms of delegate selection, allocation or what have you."
He concluded, "I think you've got a lot of people in the media spreading all this, just to incite people, just to get them all fired up and charged up and just spread this narrative that there's cheating going on when either they don't understand it, or they want the fireworks, they want charged up and angry callers calling in raising hell for the sake of it, ratings or what have you."
Despite Limbaugh blaming "the media" for "spreading all this," it has been Trump himself who has promoted and repeatedly made this claim about the delegate process.
Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight notes that Trump's complaints that the system is rigged have largely been echoed in the media, and have helped to increase support for him in polling of Republican primary voters.

Radio host Sean Hannity responded to critics on Twitter after his contentious interview with GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz (R-TX) where Cruz called Hannity a Trump supporter for questioning the delegate process.
On the April 19 edition of The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity asked Cruz about his recent election victories and whether his delegate wins raise questions about the "integrity of the election," which received immediate condemnation from Cruz. During the argument, Hannity pushed back against Cruz claiming that "Every time I have you on the air, and I ask a legitimate question, you try to throw this in my face," prompting Cruz to respond that "as I travel the country, nobody is asking me this, other than the Trumpsters and the people repeating it."
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I think the number one question on the minds of Republicans right now is what is going on with the delegates. For example, if you can explain to people that your campaign, that you have every right within the rules, to talk to candidates that are pledged on a first ballot, to Candidate A or Candidate C, you being Candidate B, and that -- tell us what that process is. You are assuming this is going to the convention, you told me that in the last two interviews. So as part of that, you're hoping to get to a second ballot. In other words, in a second ballot people that support Donald Trump or John Kasich or Marco Rubio, if those delegates are still relevant, can then switch their votes. So you are in the process of talking to delegates and it seems to be very extensive. Can you explain to people what's going on?
TED CRUZ: Sean, with all respect, that's not what people are concerned about. I'm campaigning every day, people are concerned about bringing jobs back to America. People are concerned about raising wages. People are concerned about getting the federal government off the backs of small businesses, and people are concerned about beating Hillary. And the media loves to obsess about process, this process, and this whining from the Trump campaign, it's all silly. It's very, very simple --
HANNITY: Senator, I'm -- hang on a second, I'm on social media with millions of people. I have 550 radio stations, and I have the top rated cable show in my hour, all across the board. And I am telling you that people are telling me that they find this whole process confusing. You know, I can read the articles, for example, about -- you know, people want to know about what actually happened in Georgia this weekend, where people that have, I guess, on the first ballot are going to Donald Trump, but representatives of yours talked to them, and are persuading them to vote for you on a second ballot. That is an important question, because I think most of people would like to know how this works, and I'm really am asking you more than a process question. It's an integrity of the election question, and everybody's asking me this question. So I'm giving you an opportunity to explain it.
CRUZ: Sean, the only people asking this question are the hardcore Donald Trump supporters.
HANNITY: Why do you -- but senator, why do you do this? Every single time I -- no, you gotta stop. Every time I have you on the air, and I ask a legitimate question, you try to throw this in my face. I'm getting sick of it. I've had you on more than any other candidate, on radio and TV. So if I ask you senator, a legitimate question that would explain to the audience, why wouldn't you just answer it?
CRUZ: Sean, can I answer your question without being interrupted?
HANNITY: Go ahead.
CRUZ: In the last three weeks, there have been five elections in five states. Utah, North Dakota, WIsconsin, Colorado, Wyoming. We've won all five, over 1.3 million people voted in those five states, we won all five. All of this noise and complaining and whining has come from the Trump campaign, because they don't like the fact that they've lost five elections in a row, that Republicans are uniting behind our campaign, so they are screaming on Drudge, and it's getting echoed, this notion of voterless election. It is nonsense that they are making it up. Over 1.3 million people voted, we won landslides in all five. Now, there is a second component beyond the elections, which is the individual delegates are elected by the people. Donald Trump's campaign does not know how to organize on the grassroots.
We are winning election after election after election, and nobody, as I travel the country, nobody is asking me this, other than the Trumpsters and the people repeating it.
After the interview, Hannity went on a tirade on Twitter explaining his contentious interview to journalists and followers:
I was asking a simple question that clearly he didn't like. I think voters have a right to know the answer to https://t.co/LKvxie6R0g

Right-wing media figures attacked Hillary Clinton for saying that she always carries hot sauce with her during an interview with a New York hip-hop radio show, attacking her for "pandering" and "casual racism." But Salon reports that Clinton "has been talking about carrying hot sauce since 2008," and various outlets over the years have reported that Clinton "packed pepper sauce" in her bag and had "a collection of more than 100 hot sauces" when she was first lady.
For Sexual Assault Awareness month, Media Matters looks back at right-wing media's history of downplaying, and questioning the legitimacy of, sexual assault. Right-wing media figures have called reporting statutory rape "whiny," claimed sexual assault victims have a "coveted status," said the sexual assault epidemic is "not happening," blamed feminism for encouraging sexual assault, and said attempts to curb sexual assault constitute "a war happening on boys."

Alejandro is a married father of two young children. He is from the city of León, which is located in the northern part of the country. He is known for being responsible, hardworking, and driven to better himself. Unfortunately, due to a lack of financial resources, he was not able to pursue a degree and he instead had to work from a young age. This has motivated him to keep working to offer his young children stability so they will have a better future and become upstanding people.
Thanks to his hard work and desire to get ahead, he has a "pulpería" business located in his home. A "pulpería" is a small store that sells food products. He is requesting this loan to buy such as rice, beans, sugar, bread, eggs, milk, juices, sodas, matches, and single cigarettes. He spends 12 hours a day at his business selling his products so that in the near future he will be able to make more profits.
