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.

When the score was announced, there was an obligatory round of applause from the majority of the fans in the Carrier Dome that weekend in October. Only the group that won was really cheering. But when the outcome has been the same for so many years, it could surprise few: West Genesee High School won the New York State Field Band Championships again this year.
The Wildcats have dominated the area's marching band competition for years. At the same time, its lacrosse team is a perennial state power. But the school district also excels academically. Officials say that average SAT scores have steadily increased. And West Genesee has a 99 percent pass average for the last school year, according to the New York State Report Card. Its graduation rate is high at 90 percent -- strong, but still not the best in Onondaga County.
All this has occurred while school officials have kept the tax burden on school district residents low compared to other area school districts. West Genesee schools tax residents at one of the lowest rates in Onondaga County.
That worries some who fear that the school district is cutting back too much.
"It's a double-edged sword," said Michael Cost, head of the teachers union. "Costs are low, but it's the students that will ultimately pay."
riculum for the Regents tests Cost said, leaving out more specialized courses. He added that this could make the education of the students too narrow. Student-teacher ratios have risen to almost 30 to 1 in the high school. The amount spent on special education is lower than other school districts and the teachers do not get as many benefits, he said.
"Teachers here rarely leave right after school is over," Cost said.
But lower costs limit the tools teachers have. New computers and software are hard to come by, he said. However, Cost still believes that a supportive community and student body combine to make West Genesee "not a bad place to work." He only hopes that the low costs do not come back to haunt the district in the next few years.

If my mom and grandmother were very fertile, does that mean I will be too?
I'm a teacher and want to get pregnant sometime this summer/fall so that I can have the baby in the spring. However,I don't know when to stop taking my birth control pills that I've been on for 3 years. Everyone tells me that it takes a long time to get pregnant. But, my mother had 3 kids in less than 3 years, and my maternal grandmother had 4 kids in less than 4 years. Does that mean I'll be really fertile too? Thanks for any advice!!

A lot has to do with how long you have used which type of birth control. If you've been on the pill for 10 years, and you were put on it to start regulating your cycles, you may have a few months before you're back to 'you.' You will want to clean up you and your mans' diets, as pretty much everything you can think of effects sperm count. Also, keep your calendar and thermometer close. You know you better than any doctor can, trust your gut on days to try. The biggest thing is to not stress out about it,which is hard. Putting the pressure on to perform can greatly affect your man, and stress for you can keep an ovary locked up tight.posted 03/23/2010 by medicinewheel357
I'm pretty sure that I read that fertility is about 50% inherited, and I think you probably inherit certain traits from your father's family, too, so you need to think about your paternal aunts and grandmother, too. And then, there's the other 50% which reflects the environmental factors. Are you a smoker? Do you take medications? Also, your husband needs to make a contribution and there is male factor infertility that's obviously unrelated to you or your family history. My husband and I got pregnant right away all 3 times that we tried and had 3 healthy babies. My mother had lots of pregnancies, but also several miscarriages. My sister also conceived easily, but miscarried 1 of her 3 pregnancies. Conception and pregnancy are so complicated, it's too hard to predict based on your family history what will happen next.posted 06/12/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Nobody has really talked about what type of pill you're taking. I was on Seasonique, which I loved because it meant that I didn't have to be bothered as often, but it did mean that my body adjusted to having SUPER long cycles, and really through off the hormones. We came off the pill in December of 2008, and I was told NOT to try until my periods were back to a normal range. (At first it was 45-50 day cycles.) So we used condoms until July of 2009, when it was typically between 30-40 days. It took until May of this year before we finally got pregnant. My mom and grandma were both quite fertile but neither EVER took the pill. My advise, come off the pill and use another type of bc until you want to get pregnant. Give your body a chance to regulate. The same advise my drs office gave me, is that you don't want to get prego if your body isn't sure about regulating hormones yet. My friend has a similar experience, on Seasonique too, and miscarried at 12 weeks. :(posted 06/13/2010 by anghp
I say everyone is different. I have 3 sisters who can get prego in a minute and it takes me a year or more to conceive. Oh and my mom had 13 kids no problem.posted 04/19/2010 by sweetpea due11/13
My mom got pregnant at the drop of a hat- 4 times! I'm assuming my grandma did too since she had 6 kids. I also got pregnant very easily...and from what I've heard it's actually easier to get pregnant right after coming off the pill. Now if you were using something like the Depo shot or Mirena IUD it might be a different story because those really mess with your body.posted 03/22/2010 by TheRavenTree
Well, let me ask these questions: Before you got on the pill, were your periods regular? Were all your yearly exams positive? My mom was NOT easily fertile. However, I am healthy, I have regular periods, etc. I had only one period off the pill before I got pregnant. I was aware of when I typically ovulated (but not certain). I went off the pill in June, had my first non-pill period June 23, and conceived July 6. Fast!! I was very, VERY surprised it happened so quickly! Apparently, it is very easy to get pregnant after you come off the pill. I thought it was the opposite. I would ask your dr, do some research, and try your best. Good luck!posted 03/22/2010 by aprilcristina14
Well my mother and grandmother were very fertile and I am seeming to have issues so I am not sure on that question. All I can write is this, my mother had my beautiful brother at my age 37 without even trying just by going to bed with her partner. She did not do any ovulation testing nothing. Bam Got pregnant. Meanwhile my DH and I have been trying for over 6 months and I cannot get pregnant. Also I should mention that I have been off the pill and intimate with my husband since 2006 and never got pregnant or even had a scare. So my conclusion is that if your mother or grandmother are fertile it does not necessarily mean you will be fertile. But think positive and keep your chin up. Baby Dust to you!posted 04/05/2012 by Herman6
Babys are supposed to get their sex organs from their fathers side. So I think it depends on the father. That is what I read in the developmental psychology book.posted 06/13/2010 by sinnymn
Yes- I have the same situation and have been prego 4 times twice w/ multiples (but some were miscarriages) and sort of No- because it took my sister 7 yrs to get pregnant and now she has been pregnant 5 times (1 miscarriage)posted 06/12/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I wish! Grandmother had 5 starting the minute she got married and mom got pg on her first time at 18. She had 4 and has 3 grandchildren. I'm 33 and still waiting. Only been really trying for six months though. IMO everyone is different.posted 06/12/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Environmental Specialist Licensing Bill Doomed
Wolfe, Lou Anne, THE JOURNAL RECORD
By Lou Anne Wolfe Journal Record Staff Reporter A bill to create an Oklahoma Environmental Professionals Registration Act will probably die quietly next session in the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee of the Oklahoma House of Representatives because of unofficial committee action on Thursday.
At the second meeting of an interim study on House Bill 1305, principally authored by Rep. Mark Seikel, D-Harrah, and Sen. Dave Herbert, D-Midwest City, members voted 13-3 that they would favor "reporting progress" on the bill during the 1992 legislative session.
"Report progress" means the bill would be held in committee and no action would be taken next session. All pending measures not acted on next year will die, because next session is the second and final session of the 43rd Legislature.
Lawmakers are forbidden to act on legislation when the Legislature is not in session, so the vote is unofficial and non-binding. However, committee Chairman Larry Rice, D-Pryor, said he wanted to get an idea whether there was any support for the bill.
The measure considered Thursday by the committee was a draft substitute for the original bill. Where the first bill called for creation of a State Board of Registration for Environmental Professionals to be appointed by the governor, the revised bill called for board members to be appointed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, which also would write the rules and regulations governing the licensing of environmental professionals.
Proponents of House Bill 1305 say licensing is needed because the field of environmental consulting is loosely regulated and plays host to some dishonest, unqualified people.
Opponents argue that the bill's provisions to qualify an environmental professional for certification and licensing are too broad, and that existing professional requirements for engineers, industrial hygienists, environmental sanitarians and the like are strict enough.
Environmental consulting may have drawn increased attention and interest lately because of requirements for environmental risk assessments in real estate transactions.
"It's a wide field, with an enormous amount of money involved and a lot of charlatans," said W.J. Truby, an environmental consultant of 15 years, lobbyist for the National Registry of Environmental Professionals and proponent of House Bill 1305.
"Anyone in this state that wants to become an environmental professional only has to hang up a shingle _ they don't even have to know how to spell it," he said.
Seikel said he hoped to learn whether committee members think they need to address the issue of people in the state soliciting for services that they are unqualified to perform. …

OU football coach Bob Stoops declines coaches poll vote
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops turned down an opportunity to vote in the coaches USA Today/ESPN poll but Monday declined to discuss his reasons why. "I'm not going to get into that because then it becomes a story," Stoops said. "I don't think that's fair. We have enough to deal with Oklahoma State this week." Since the coaches poll could have an impact which team plays for the Big 12 title, possibly the national title, does he regret turning down a chance to vote? "Probably," Stoops said. But not having a vote in the coaches' poll doesn't mean Stoops can't have his say. He was doing plenty of campaigning for his team on Monday. Stoops praised his team and its achievements on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" morning show and later on ESPN's College Football Live with Reece Davis. If the Sooners, Longhorns and Red Raiders all win this week, tied at 7-1 in league play, the highest-ranked team in the Nov. 30 BCS rankings will be declared the South champion. "It's always difficult (to vote)," Stoops said. "There are arguments for and against everybody. Not just us but anyone that has one loss. That's just the way it is. Most logic goes to who is doing what down the stretch or who is playing well right now." →Go to Page 3C to read more on the Sooners, the college football polls and the BCS.

I spent some time last night second-guessing my decision to go with a Socket 939 solution instead of a Socket 754. The AMD64 processor line has an on-die memory controller, like the UltraSPARC-III and later processors. Socket 754 was the first to be introduced, with a single channel DDR controller, while earlier this year saw the first 939 processors and boards with dual-channel DDRCs. According to most reviews, the difference is not that large - a best case 3-5% performance improvement. However, there is a third AMD64 socket type - 940, which is used today by the Athlon FX series of processors and the server based Opteron chips. The plan is to migrate the FX series from 940 to 939, leaving the Opteron in the server space. The Athlon 64/64FX processors will all unified in the Socket 939 spec, targeted at workstations and enthusiasts. Socket 754 won't go away, as AMD will target this at the main-stream desktop market. The Sempron and Socket A will continue to serve the budget desktop market.

As Socket 939 is a relatively new introduction, processors and motherboards are still expensive. Most of the forum posts I've read on the topic suggest that the price/performance for Socket 939 just isn't there. Of course, most of these posts were from the start of this summer, and since then the price of an AMD64 3500+ has fallen from ~US$500 to ~US$330. The nearest Socket 754 chip comparable to a 3500+ is a 3400+, which comes in at ~US$290. The price difference of ~US$40 seems like a small amount to spend to get a better upgrade path, once AMD starts introducing dual-core processors (assuming that won't be another DDRC change requiring yet another socket change). I finally convinced myself that 939 was the way to go. Case 50% closed.

The other side of the equation is the motherboard. Socket 939 motherboards are also relatively inexpensive, compared to what I have spent in the past to upgrade my system. The MSI board listed in my last AMD Upgrade post is ~US$140, while some of the Socket 754 boards with similar functionality come in ~US$120. The difficult choice here was between the NVidia nForce3 250Gb chipset and the VIA K8T800. Every non-forum review of these two chipsets I have read concludes that both are equal. Anecdotal evidence from forums seems to suggest that nForce is more stable than VIA, but I've been using ABit boards based on VIA chipsets for years without stability issues. One of my chief concerns is support for the chipset in non-Windows environments like Linux and Solaris x86_64. VIA has generic drivers in the Linux kernel, so basic functionality can be had without having to resort to separate drivers. Functionality of nF3 based boards in Windows surpasses that of VIA, but it requires NVidia's proprietary drivers to operate in Linux. At this point, I'm not sure if either chipset is supported in Solaris.

My decision is now down to the final sticking point. Should I go with the VIA, and spare some of the performance and stability for driverless support under Linux? Or should I go with the nForce3 board, get superior Windows performance for games, and live with the fact that I will, yet again, be out on the cold, harsh, bleeding edge of technology.

If it were'nt for the fact that Newegg.com has been down for the last 12-14 hours, I probably would have already made the decision. The extra time I have to mull over the issue is certainly causing me to overthink. I can hardly believe that a site like Newegg.com, which is absolutely critical to their business (it is their business), is down for this length of time. Even a planned outage for the revenue producing face of this company should not even be noticed by the users, much less interrupt purchases and prevent new ones from accessing the store.

Maybe it would be a good idea for the Sun sales force to descend on Newegg and show them how e-business is really supposed to work.

I don't work from home that often, so I don't require a SPARC based workstation like I enjoy in my office, but I do enjoy a good game of Doom 3 now and then. To support this habit, I've decided to upgrade my current home system. I built my current system in early 2000, and it has remained future proof up until very recently. Specifically, releases of games such as Doom 3 and Halflife 2 have required more GL power than my old GeForce 2 32MB card could provide. My current rig:

ABit VP6 Dual PIII mainboard

2 x PIII 1GHz Coppermine (C0 stepping)

512MB Corsair CAS3 SDRAM

SB Audigy Platinum

Netgear MA311 802.11b

ATI Radeon 9800PRO 128MB

2 x IBM Deskstar 60GXP 60GB/ATA100/7200RPM/2MB Cache

IBM Deskstar 60GXP 40GB/ATA100/7200RPM/2MB Cache

Pioneer DVD-106S (Slot Load)

LITE-ON LTR-48125W 48x12x48 CD/RW

Antec Sonata Case w/380W PS

NEC MultiSync FE1250+ 22"

Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 Audio

Dual boot Windows XP and Fedora Core 2

Bold items are the lucky components to be included in my new system. You might be thinking -- this seems like enough, why upgrade? Well, it all began when I upgraded my video card to the Radeon. The board layout for the VP6 puts CPU1 directly above the AGP slot, which I didn't believe to be that big an issue when I bought the board. When I bought the Radeon, I knew that it would produce a lot more heat, so I bought some nice new Thermaltake copper heatsinks for the P3s. Really, the point was to reduce the overall noise level of the system, which I've since learned is next to impossible with a dual CPU VP6 (larger heat sinks from Zalman were recommended here, but don't fit).

After I moved all of my hardware into the Antec case, added in the Radeon card, and strapped on my shiny new copper heatsink, almost everything came up, which is obviously not acceptable. Now, the VP6 board comes with a RAID controller on board, which allows me to run RAID 0, 1 or 0+1 with up to four drives. Alternatly, I can turn off the RAID function, and have two more IDE controllers to use, which allows for up to a total of 8 IDE devices. I had configured my system to run each drive as a channel master, with only the 40GB storage drive and DVD sharing a bus. Normally, when I start the system, it displays the normal hardware probe screen, and then switches to a drive detection screen for the RAID controller (Highpoint HPT370).

So, when I started up the system in a new case with the fantastic Radeon card inside, I was puzzled when the RAID detection screen didn't come up. Switching the card for my old GeForce caused the detection screen to reappear, but I wasn't about to take the Radeon back to the store. I posted a few times on ArsTechnica Forums, probing my initial suspicion that there was some sort of IRQ sharing problem between Mr. RAID controller and Mr. Radeon. Someone on the Ars forums postulated that the Radeon might not be properly releasing resources after initialization, leaving insufficient space in BIOS mapped RAM to allow the RAID controller to initialize. Of course, I am explaining this phonetically, as I really don't fully understand how ACPI initializes PCI cards.

I still haven't figured out how to fully resolve the issue, but I figured that it was partly due to the age difference between the Radeon and my mainboard. Without the HPT370 drivers in Windows XP, the devices attached to the RAID controller do not show up. Installing the drivers makes the devices appear -- Linux gets it right the first time with no extra drivers or configuration. So, dispite the fact that I have to do a bit of a jig after a fresh Windows XP install to see my drives, at least I now can access them. Problem solved enough.

Now that the all singing, all dancing Radeon is working under Linux, I made a special effort to find the highest performance, higest resolution, most fantastic and earth shattering screen saver. This came in the form of a translucent dancing torus (4D Hypertorus, for you KDE users). After staring at it for several minutes, I locked the screen and allowed the torus to dance into the night. An hour later, I came back to the system --- locked solid. I thought that it might be an issue with Linux, which has really never worked 100% with my dual cpu VP6 anyway (issues mostly with ACPI), so I rebooted, and no lockups while I worked for the rest of the evening. The next time I left the system on the screensaver, it locked up again. Hmmm. I switched screensavers, and now I haven't had a lockup for over a month.

The issue turned out to be heat. As I mentioned before, the VP6 puts CPU1 directly above the AGP slot. With a Radeon installed, this is similar to putting CPU1 in a toaster oven. Checking temps on the CPUs after running some 3D demos, I found that CPU0 was hovering around 35-40C, and CPU1 was up around 55C. Heat was rising off the Radeon, and warming the CPU heatsink. There's no opportunity for a larger heatsink, and I really don't want to mess around with liquid cooling for this old system. This was really the last straw for the dual CPU setup.

The new rig will use the bold items in the listing above, with the addition of the following:

MSI Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra mainboard

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Socket 939, Newcastle core, 2.2GHz)

1GB(512x2) OCZ DDR PC3200 (2-3-2-6 1T)

From what I gathered from a whole Sunday afternoon of research and pricing comparisons, the Socket 939 platform seems to be the most future proof for AMD64 desktop systems. Socket 939 is similar to the original AMD64 Socket 745, but provides a dual-channel memory controller on board instead of a single channel controller. It seems that the number of socket types is blooming at the moment in the AMD space. This is due to the on-board memory controller -- every time a new type of RAM appears, silicon must be changed in the CPU. As a result, AMD needs to make sure that the CPU cannot be installed in the wrong system, and their solution is to change the socket interface. From my observation, Sun has sidestepped this by using proprietary RAM, so nearly everything can be held constant to allow multiple models of CPUs to use the same RAM and mainboards.

Anyway, we will see once the new system comes together whether I will finally be free of the upgrade struggle for another four years. I like to upgrade my system, but don't like doing it more than once every couple of years or so, or less for major brain transplants like the above.

I have 2 V1s — one bought in USA and one in Malaysia (last year in January and April 2014) and my wife and I used it mainly for travel and nature photography (actually my wife "hijacked" my V1+FT mount+70-300mm combo so I got another mainly using the FT+80-400mm). We were quite happy with its performance as we had to travel light and quickly shoot whatever that we liked until the beginning of this year — the LCD monitor completely went off both cameras. Repairing it would be expensive and I will continue to use it with the EVF until it too goes off. The plastic ring that holds the filter/cap has also cracked and needed some superglue. This is the main complain of most of my Nikon friends — unreliability of parts and expensive repair. Maybe it only happens in this country.
ISO Accuracy
The actual sensitivity of each indicated ISO is measured using the same shots as are used to measure ISO noise levels, we simply compare the exposure for each shot to the metered light level (using a calibrated Sekonic L-358), middle gray matched. We estimate the accuracy of these results to be +/- 1/6 EV (the margin of error given in the ISO specifications). We found that measured ISO from the V1 is roughly 1/3EV higher than indicated - so ISO 100 = ISO 125 (approx). This holds true throughout the entire ISO range, but a discrepancy this small has little practical impact in real world use.
Noise and Noise Reduction (JPEG)On close inspection, some noise is evident in the J1/V1's JPEG output even at base ISO. Impressively though, the cameras' noise suppression strikes a pleasing balance between noise removal and image detail, with the final result looking less 'processed' than we'd expect from some of Nikon's compact cameras. While noise levels start to noticeably impact image detail at ISO 800, it is only at ISO 1600 and higher that aggressive noise suppression begins to smear fine detail, but even ISO 3200 output is still usable for smaller prints and web use. The highest setting (ISO 6400) is usable for small prints and web use, but should definitely be reserved for emergency use only. Despite the comparatively small size of the 1-system sensor, the J1/V1's JPEG output compares very well against results from the current crop of 12MP Micro Four Thirds cameras (although it cannot match the abilities of the newer 16MP sensor in Panasonic's G3/GX1). However it lags clearly behind the results obtainable from the current crop of APS-C sensor cameras. The noise graph, shown here, doesn't tell the whole story and it is clear that noise reduction is keeping measured noise levels low. Switching noise reduction off results in more noise, both visible and measured, but noticeable better detail reproduction at higher ISO sensitivity settings.
RAW noise (ACR 6.6, noise reduction set to zero)
The amount of NR applied 'under the hood' is not high, but it does vary by camera (Adobe is attempting to normalize output across different sensors), so we are still looking at a balance of noise and noise reduction, rather than pure noise levels. However, the use of the most popular third-party raw converter is intended to give a photographically relevant result, rather than simply comparing sensor performance in an abstract manner.
Converting the Nikon J1/V1's images in Adobe Camera RAW 6.6 shows that even with ACR noise reduction turned off both cameras fare well against the APS-C and Micro Four Thirds sensor competition at the lowest ISO settings. Beginning at ISO 800 some NR is clearly being applied to the cameras' RAW files, even when both in-camera and ACR noise reduction options are turned off. Turn to the 'photographic tests' page of this review for some real-world examples of the effect that this has.
The measured noise graph shows that in-camera noise reduction also has an impact on the J1 and V1's raw files. Obviously this takes away a degree of control from the photographer, but fortunately results are good, and critical detail reproduction in raw mode is very similar with in-camera NR off and on.

Microsoft Becomes Most Interesting Stock in the World
(HPQ) and Dell (DELL), vulnerable to Chinese competitors such as Lenovo that can better handle today's value pricing. It would prevent these American companies from gaining a toehold in the tablet market. Something has to change, in other words, or Microsoft's whole ecosystem, including Nokia, goes down in flames.Mace wrote in his blog post that he did a search comparing "I hate Windows 8" and "I love Windows 8." Hate outran love by 3-1. But my own Googlefight on those same two terms showed love outrunning hate by nearly 30-1, and a straight comparison of the terms on Google.com had love outrunning hate 15-1. (Mace later wrote to say he got it wrong.) But we don't really know. Microsoft is doing a slow, controlled rollout, and the current view may be down to PR -- it may all be marketing hype. We won't know the result of all this until the fall, after the software is officially released. Microsoft has been a sort of widows-and-orphans stock for a decade, bouncing between $25 and $30 a share. Those days are ending. It will either rise or fall with Metro. Which way will it go? Your guess is as good as mine. At the time of publication, Blankenhorn held shares of Microsoft, Apple and Google.Why will "meh" be the worst possible outcome? Because it would leave Microsoft's biggest OEMs, Hewlett-Packard

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Food! So much food! Leftovers from Thanksgiving can be quite overwhelming, especially when you are lying on the couch recuperating from the food coma brought on by the turkey, ham, and all the other fixings. But what's going to happen when you are no longer stuffed from stuffing? Leftovers can be a nightmare, and turn into a boring routine for the next several days. But they don't have to be. Fun, delicious, and some downright creative possibilities for that green bean casserole are just a click away.
At the beginning of the coldest time of the year, firefighters from Beaumont Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF Local 399 donated 100 coats to children Monday, Nov. 17. Children in the custody of Child Protective Services around Southeast Texas are now able to keep warm and look stylish in the cozy coats from Operation Warm. The coats are made in the USA and the organization is sponsored by the national organization of firefighters.
Even though the Christmas season feels like it has been in full swing since Nov. 1, the official festive fulfillment is not complete until one hears the official soundtrack to Christmas – those favorite holiday songs and beloved carols that bring about the spirit of the season.
The Thanksgiving Weekend is one of the most highly traveled times on our public roadways in the State of Texas with increased traffic as families take to the roads to celebrate the holidays. This time period is also marked with increased traffic collisions. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is committed to making the roadways safe during this Holiday Season.
A former Port Arthur Independent School District board member was sentenced to prison Monday, Nov. 24, convicted of income tax violations, according to U.S. Attorney's Office public information officer Davilyn Walston.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Hello all,
In an extremely encouraging development, my girlfriend (who lives in Edmonton) has decided she'd like to get a bike for the summer, after not riding for many years. Since I'm in NW Washington state, I can't easily walk her through finding something quality in town. I'm inclined to send her to Bike Works, but having never been there, can anyone give me some input on the shop and whether there's a chance she'll be able to find something built that will work for her there? Is there a good shop selling used that she should visit instead? I'd like to find her something basic, just to "encourage" her to fall in love with cycling.
I've tried Craigslist but I think I'm spoiled with our Seattle-area used market; the rides available weren't worth pursuing. If anyone has a lead on something solid, used, and around $150 that didn't come from Canadian Tire I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

LeBron and Kobe are once again leading the way in All-Star voting. (Ronald Martinez)
The NBA announced Thursday the first returns in the fan vote for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game, and in news that will shock precisely no one, LeBron James of the Miami Heat and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers stand above their peers as the leading vote-getters in their respective conferences at present.
Joining James in leading the race to start in the frontcourt — remember, no "forwards" and "centers" this year — are Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, who has received 573,112 votes, and Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics, who received 218,246. James' teammate Dwyane Wade (430,925) and Garnett's buddy Rajon Rondo (382,613) are in line to start in the backcourt.
Out west, it's looking like an L.A.-heavy starting unit, as Bryant is slated to team with Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul (353,603) in the backcourt, while their respective teammates Dwight Howard (434,168) and Blake Griffin (307,855) man two of the frontcourt spots. Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant (605,965) is in line for the third.
Hit the jump for a full breakdown of the top vote-getters in the first round of ballot-casting, a few takeaways and more.
Coming off a stellar 2011-12 season that saw him win recognition as the league's most valuable player following both the regular season and NBA Finals, James — the top overall vote-getter with 641,348 votes — has carried that brilliant play into the 2012-13 campaign. He ranks fourth in the NBA in points per game (25.5), 18th in rebounds per game (8.6) and 12th in assists per game (6.8), while posting career highs in field-goal, 3-point and rebounding percentage and leading the league in Player Efficiency Rating for the 14-6 Heat, who enter Thursday's play sitting atop the Southeast Division.
While his Lakers have struggled to a 9-13 record out of the gate, Bryant — second overall behind James with 639,419 votes — has performed sensationally on offense for coaches Mike Brown, Bernie Bickerstaff and Mike D'Antoni. Like James, the 34-year-old Bryant has turned in career highs in field-goal and 3-point percentage, and is getting to the foul line more often than he has in five years en route to leading the NBA in scoring at 29.2 points per game. In the absence of injured point guards Steve Nash and Steve Blake, Bryant has also taken on more responsibility as a facilitator, handling the ball more than he's used to and dishing assists (slightly) more often than he did a year ago.
Should voting patterns hold, this would mark Bryant's 15th selection to the All-Star Game, which would tie him with former Laker teammate Shaquille O'Neal for the second-most NBA All-Star appearances all time behind fellow L.A. legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar (19). James is on pace to make his ninth All-Star Game.
As our Eric Freeman discussed last month, fans can vote their favorite players to this year's All-Star Game through social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, as well as large Chinese services like Sina Weibo and Tencent QQ, through the NBA Game Time applications on their smartphones, by texting the player's last name to 6-9-6-2-2 ("MYNBA") or by visiting the online ballot on any wireless device. You can get all the details on the myriad ways to cast your vote at the NBA's official ballot site.

OK. then: A few takeaways.
Jeremy Lin looks ready to mean-mug his way to an All-Star berth. (Layne Murdoch/NBA/Getty Images)
Now, after 19 mostly unremarkable games — plus two pretty great ones — despite ranking 10th in the West in scoring among point guards (and tied for 21st among all nominal West guards), ranking 15th among Western guards in assist-to-turnover ratio, shooting 40 percent from the floor and ... and I'm just wasting my breath. because it's pretty clear that Jeremy Lin hasn't played at an All-Star level for the Rockets this year, and it's likewise clear that, given his national and international popularity — and the fact that he's received more than 100,000 more votes than teammate James Harden, who's fifth in the NBA in scoring — that doesn't really matter. Barring some thumb-on-the-scales stuff from the commissioner's office (which would seem counterintuitive, since many fans clearly want to see Lin there), Lin's looking like a sure bet to represent the host city Rockets; we'll just have to grin and bear it.
• Being injured and famous seems like a pretty good gig. Andrew Bynum, Amar'e Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki and Ricky Rubio have combined to play zero minutes this season, and they have more than 250,000 combined votes. Luol Deng, Jrue Holiday and Joakim Noah have played more minutes than all but two players (Durant and DeMar DeRozan) this season, and they have less than 160,000 combined. I guess working hard don't beat hardly working.
• Here are five guys who need better publicists:
Anderson Varejao wails in lament. (David Liam Kyle/NBA/Getty Images)
Holiday — The second-best point guard in the East so far, thanks to Kyrie missing so much time and D-Will missing so many jumpers. (Let's consider this a half-vote for Thaddeus Young, too, who's been a steady offensive contributor and a defensive wrecking ball in the Philly frontcourt as a full-time starter for the first time in three years.)
Stephen Curry — A possible top-10 MVP candidate for his work to date with the 15-7 Golden State Warriors now that he's finally healthy, but still next-to-no fan profile.
David Lee — Along the same lines: 19 and 11 with 3.5 assists a night, 13th in the league in scoring, fifth in the league in rebounding, improved a bit on defense as part of the Warriors' overall rise up the defensive ranks, a star performance for star salary on one of the league's best teams, but has yet to move the needle.
Al Horford — Same as it ever was: 16 and 10 with three assists, a block and a steal, strong post defense against opposing fours and fives, quick enough to team with Smith to wreck opponents' front lines and a deft enough passer to use the inside-out game that's helped activate Atlanta's shooters en route to their somewhat surprising 13-6 start, but continues to toil in relative national obscurity.
Tim Duncan just wants to know what he has to do to get out of this. (Noah Graham/NBA/Getty Images)
• Jeff Green? I mean, I guess he's at least played, which gives him a leg (sorry) up on some of those aforementioned sidelined dudes ... but, um, seriously? Way to support the ball cub, Celtics fans. Keep drinkin' that green Kool-Aid.
The 62nd NBA All-Star Game will air live from Toyota Center in Houston on TNT at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013. Set your DVRs now so that you won't forget, and let us know what you think of the voting to-date in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Theological in nature
From what I can tell, there are two Lapsarian Views in Calvinism, each with multiple names.
I've read that there are Calvinists that don't adhere to either Lapsarian View.
I've seen the terms "Five Point Calvinism" and "Five Point Calvinists". These are referring to the TULIP doctrine.
I've read that many Calvinists say that you HAVE to believe in all five points of the TULIP doctrine to be a Calvinist. However, I've read that there
Updated May 2nd 2013 at 11:46 PM by gringo300
I think I have a basic understanding of the Lapsarian Views within Calvinism now.
I still need to get a better concept of Arminianism.
I still need to get a better concept of Seventh Day Adventism.
I'm currently trying to learn everything I possibly can about Calvinism and Arminianism.
I've read that there is what's known as Five Point Calvinism and Five Point Arminianism.
I've read that many Five Point Calvinists say one has to believe in all five points of the TULIP doctrine to be a "true Calvinist" and that many Five Point Arminians say that one has to believe in all five points of the Five Points Of Remonstrance to be a "true Arminian".
Let's not miss this conversation from John 18 below:
John 18
33 Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, Are You the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered, Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?
35 Pilate answered, I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is
This is basically an information post for those who care about this stuff. This is also why I have restricted posting on this subject not to cause a fuss. So to those who would be interested in knowing this about the NIV.
The NIV had homosexuals on the translation committee. Dr. Virginia Mollenkott is an open homosexual. Which makes me wonder why she was allowed to be on the committee. You can read more about this here: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible..._committee.htm

Pacilé, D and Meyer, JC and Fraile Rodríguez, A and Papagno, M and Gómez-Navarro, C and Sundaram, RS and Burghard, M and Kern, K and Carbone, C and Kaiser, U (2011) Electronic properties and atomic structure of graphene oxide membranes. Carbon, 49. pp. 966-972. ISSN 0008-6223Full text not available from this repository.
We have performed a near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) and a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of freely suspended graphene oxide (GO) sheets. We utilized a photoemission electron microscope to identify GO membranes and to acquire C K and O K absorption spectra. The overall line shape of C K-edge spectra demonstrates that the honeycomb carbon network of graphene is the scaffold of GO. However, the intensity ratio of π and σ resonances, and a broad feature at about 20 eV from the edge, indicate the presence of new carbon bonds. The O K-edge spectra show that oxidized regions are made of carbonyl, epoxide, and hydroxyl groups attached to the plane of graphene, while carboxyl groups might also be present at the edges. Further, our study indicates the presence of ordered arrangements of oxygen atoms in GO sheets. Our investigation provides a new and efficient route to study the electronic structure of suspended membranes. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Geron: Super Important Imetelstat Data Coming Thursday
(GERN - Get Report) imetelstat in myelofibrosis on Thursday when the American Society of Hematology makes research abstracts to its December annual meeting available online.At this risk of overselling, these imetelstat data are super important because they will either justify Geron's incredible 180% stock surge over the past two months or make a fool of those who believed (naively) Geron might be capable of reversing more than two decades of drug development futility. Imetelstat, a telomerase inhibitor, is Geron's last chance. Yet there is legitimate buzz surrounding imetelstat going into Thursday's ASH abstract release because the drug may have legitimate disease-modifying potential in bone marrow cancers like myelofibrosis. Incyte's (INCY - Get Report) Jakafi is approved to treat myelofibrosis but only provides symptomatic relief -- mainly by reducing the size of a patient's enlarged spleen, a hallmark of the disease. Imetelstat, on the other hand, may prove to be effective in the bone marrow, meaning the drug could to slow or even stop the malignancies which cause diseases like myelofibrosis. Here's a simple way to think about imetelstat's potential: Neither Jakafi nor any other similar (JAK inhibitor) drugs being studied in myelofibrosis today are capable of producing a complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR). At best, these drugs only provide clinical improvement (CI) in myelofibrosis patients. When the imetelstat ASH abstract is released Thursday, investors will be looking for concrete evidence of patients with CRs or PRs following treatment. The imetelstat study to be unveiled the ASH meeting is not being run by Geron but instead by noted myelofibrosis expert Dr. Ayalew Tefferi of the Mayo Clinic. Tefferi is also a bit controversial for publicly disdaining Jakafi. [Incyte doesn't send him Christmas cards.] What Wall Street knows about the outcome of the imetelstat study to date comes from Geron passing along hints based on what Teferri tells the company. Here's the Geron slide from its most recent corporate presentation that has investors intrigued: In Cohort A, which enrolled 11 myelofibrosis patients, two or more responses were observed. This allowed the study to enroll another 11 patients in Cohort B, where once again, two or more responses were recorded. A third cohort of patients is now enrolling.

Switching to a regular three-strand braid, continue braiding back fully and tuck under to create a ball of braid in the back.

When would I get my rainbow? :(
When did you AF returned after MC?
When would I get my rainbow? :(
Sounds like it varies widely from person to person..I had a natural miscarriage and my doc said to expect AF 4-5 weeks later. I'm not there yet so I can't say whether or not that was accurate.
Good luck catching your rainbow soon!
Kylenmommy: I am so sorry for your loss. I am up to a total of 2 losses and 1 chemical pregnancy. Each one was different because with the second I bled for two weeks, once the bleeding stopped I was back to 28 days like clockwork.
I had to sit this month out so I'll be trying again next month, I am determined to catch my rainbow.
Good luck!!!
Kylen--in my haste to reply, I forgot to mention how sorry I am that you are going through this. I really do hope that rainbow comes soon.
Twoangelbabies--You too, you deserve a rainbow SOON. This multiple losses thing makes me want to cry. I have only had one so I can only imagine. My heart goes out to you.
Twoangelbabies, I hope I could join you next month and we both get lucky with BFPs!
Im so sorry for your losses ladies. I had a d&c on 8-29. the doc said it would take about a week or two for the HCG levels to get to a level that would allow me to cycle. Then to expect my 1st cycle 3-6 weeks from that point. So the short answer for me was 4 to 8 weeks. I hope that helps. I was 13w3d the baby never progressed past 7ish weeks.

Caught our Rainbow Lily due 12-20-15
I think it really depends. I hope you get yours soon!
Mine didn't come for 3 months after my MC bleeding stopped, so my doc put me on a short course of progesterone to trigger a withdrawal bleed.
Good luck!
I hope that this provides a little bit of hope for you - I was extremely discouraged after finding out that my little bean stopped growing at 6 weeks as well, and my doctor told me that I would have to wait a regular cycle to start trying again. I typically had long cycles (40 days), so I thought that especially after the miscarriage that it would take forever for AF tor return.
Anyway, I found out on August 20th. Had 2 round of misoprostol on 8/20, and 8/21 which didn't work. I had my first D&C the morning of 8/24 (which also didn't work) and second later that evening. I was SURE with that luck that there was no way that I would get AF anytime soon but sure enough, it started on 9/11! It started slow and by 9/13 it was an unmistakable full period :-)
I'm sending lots of baby dust and best wishes to you! Good luck!
the doctors are telling you to wait so they can best determine your due date- but actually after a mc- or l&d our bodies are the most fertile- my ob told me this last month that I can try right away! so here's hoping!!
I got mine 4 1/2 weeks after my natural m/c. And I went right from spotting to my period!
Lots of luck to you & big hugs!

This high-potency formula offers results similar to a professional strength peel with less irratation and down time. A blend of natural fruit acids plus Glucosamine, Algea Extract and Nacinamide (Vitamin B3), form a potent anti-aging cocktail that naturally and gently exfoliates the skin, improves tone, increases firmness and lightens dark spots in one step. These travel friendly pads can be used on the face, neck, chest, back of hands and instantly brightens, lightens and tightens skin.
This product is extremely effective at removing dead skin cells and the dull layer that builds up over time. Following its use, I get an amazingly close shave because the razor is coming into closer contact with the skin / beard. I wish this product was available to use with cotton balls. The pads can be hard to separate. Plus, I hate getting the product on my hands. Regardless, I use it, like it, recommend it.
I really like this product, it is very efficient and it works very well, while mild and smooth, but please, the pads are so small, I need two at time for the whole face, chest, neck, please how can you do so small pads which should be for man fingers? I really don't understand that. Salvo
Use one pad to gently apply to problem area.
