Loan Overview

Loan Updates
Luis is 42 years old. He is married and has three children. He has 20 years of experience as a corn farmer, having learned the trade from very young with his father, it being the only lucrative activity performed by his family. Luis works on his crop every day, cleaning, fertilizing, and controlling pests, among others. In order to buy the supplies he needs, Luis must ride on a pick up for forty minutes until he reaches the city, where he purchases the supplies.
The loan he is requesting from Fundación Campo will be used to buy 10 sacks of fertilizer, herbicide, and insecticide for his crop. That way, he will buy all the supplies he needs at one time, saving him time and money. He will also be able to apply the products correctly and on time. He would like to buy a pick up to transport his crop, since he has to carry it on his back from the farm to his house, and a vehicle would make it easier.

I am sleepy.

Hey there friends. Somebody pour a bucket of water on me - cause I am on FIRE!!! HA! 4 days in a row of blogging. Hell Yes! I love it. And thanks so much for reading. Boy am I sleepy today. We ended up going out last night - McCoy and I. Went to Red Star at Town Center in VB for a friend's bday party. 3 glasses of wine later...and 1 cheeseburger. It was a great night! Had a lot of fun. Thought I would wake up this morning with a bad hangover, but not so much. In fact, I felt great. I woke up at 5am - took Murphy the WonderDog out & changed into my yoga clothes. Yep - went to the 6am Hot Yoga class at Hot House Yoga in Norfolk. Awww!! It was amazing. My arms and legs feel great. I can feel the "jello arms" going buh-bye... But since I woke up at 5am, and had about 5 hours of sleep, I am exhausted! So tired right now. Sipping coffee as I type.... Here's me with the birthday boy...Jamie. This is a pic of us after a kickball game this summer. Thus the reason my legs are tan as hell. Wow. Go easy on the self tanner next summer Woo. Anyway - We were doing the Molly Shannon/SNL skit "I'm 50!...I like to kick, stretch, I'm 50!"
OH! And if you read above about my cheeseburger & wine consumption, it wasn't part of my 2010 "Get Fit Program". Wine is empty calories, and a cheeseburger?! Really WooWoo - soooo bad for you. But hold that thought friends...I ate the cheeseburger with NO bun. And - I didn't touch the fries that came on the side. Didn't have 1. And I never turn down a fry. But I am in 2010. Took a pic with my Blackberry to prove to you that I ate NO fries. Check this out - that's my plate of un-eaten fries. And see that fork & little left over burger bits? Yep - ate the burger with a knife & fork. No carbs in that bun for me!!
OK! Time to wake up & hop on the air. Talk to you later, WooWoo

Ignore the knuckle heads;new to this board that say TA stock is going to $8.00 or below..Wont happen;TA stock is on its way to $12.00,and higher with earnings coming..TA message board has been very quiet of late..Many of the fly by night,,fast money maker,,impatient,,quick buck,,day traders that hung around here are gone now;which is a good sign..What ever happend to all those big mouths..Take it from this long term Travel Centers investor;Dogtickpara11..TA stock will see $12.00 before ever going to eight,,AND IN THE LONG TERM WE GO TO $20.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
now at 8.44 if this doesn't go back down below $8 you are Unbelievable,, I'm sending you my money to invest
You will eat your words this week.
it will go below $8 for sure. How low below that, I don't know. May be $7.50.
The reason is IWM is going down too.
isn't It funny just when you think you got it all figured out the opposite happens.seems like when people finally figurethings are well and think it will go lower it goes much higher .you will never guess the bottom buying right now is a very good price
Wow wouldn't it be something if that was the bottom 8.01 would be an amazing call on your part.I personally think it was the 10 million dollar court settlement that spoke people. it should not be a surprise to see this stock much higher after ER
that should say #$%$ people.these voice recognition never seems to work right.and to think I invested in Nuance Communications
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Well, it went to 8.01, that's awfully close. Still, this is where I've been expecting to see a test, and support is starting to materialize. This is an incredibly undervalued stock here, with 8 billion in revenue and a market cap of 240 million, all management needs to do is find a way to get their profit margin up from .22% to 1% for this stock to triple.

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.

Dive into the Chair by WolfmuzzWatch

This made my day!.. In a way lol. It must be the chair XD.
Weird how all PS2 games are available to the internet. X3
I like it!
I really adore that turquoise-ish color tone
Yeah, I really got the Kingdom Hearts feel just by looking at the thumbnail. But that's not a bad thing. The Dive to the Heart is a pretty cool mystical scene. I love how you recreated it.
But what is the chair for? XD
But what is the chair for? XD
Haha you can see this as like page one of a comic but not literally. Its purpose and this whole scene will be explained in the future (hopefully)
I love the monochromatic color scheme and your new style you're developing. The second panel is intriguing. The light texture and how it reflects the light on Warn's body is great. You capture the figure and gesture successfully, especially in the second panel. I love how you created his body without contours, just through color. I can really see this as a comic like you said! Keep it up.
It's mr.chair!!! >o<

Now that New York officials have banned the import of boozey energy drink Four Loko, everyone wants to try it. Some of us are left trying to understand what the phenomenon was in the first place.
Filmmaker K. Ryan Jones, the director of the Fred Phelps documentary "Fall From Grace" took this curiosity one step further and scientifically documented his first encounter with Four Loko (two and a half, to be exact).
In the video (below) he drinks these brightly colored beverages, including watermelon and "purple flavored", and grows from a suited professional to a philosophical, paranoid mess, to 'Gary Busey' drunk. Then he recites Shakespeare and tries to flirt with a woman, all with varying success.

Orlando, Florida (AP) --
Marco Rubio's opponents in the Florida Senate race want most voters to think he's a far-right extremist.
But they're also trying to convince the tea party supporters who
propelled him to the GOP nomination that he's just another
politician who will say one thing and do another.
The mixed message is a reflection of Rubio's lead in recent
Democratic U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek is struggling to win votes in
his own party. Gov. Charlie Crist is running as an independent
after years of promoting himself as a conservative. They need to do
something fast to catch up.
Meek and Crist don't have much love for each other, but they are
united in their criticism of Rubio.
Rubio, meanwhile, is sticking to the script he's followed since
he got in the race.

Thunder: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook continue strong relationship
Was there tension? Sure, at times.
Is there a feud? Far from it.
That's how Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, as well as those closest to the Oklahoma City Thunder's All-Star duo, described their relationship, past and present, at the team's media day Tuesday.
"People got to understand that guys are not going to agree on every single thing that goes on in a long season," said Durant. "Guys are going to have heated arguments. But at the same time, we understand each other. We just want the best for each other. I got his back 100 percent. He's got my back 100 percent on that floor."
And off it?
"Me and Kevin are very close," said Westbrook.
At some point last season, the solidarity of the Thunder's best two players came under fire. The scrutiny only intensified under the microscope of the playoffs. When Westbrook squeezed off 30 shot attempts to Durant's 18 in a three-point road loss at Denver in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs, their playing styles became a national controversy, with Westbrook reaping the bulk of the blame. Two weeks later, Westbrook caught criticism again even after leading the Thunder to a triple-overtime road win at Memphis. In that game, Westbrook shot 33 times to Durant's 20.
Now, whether it's warranted or not, the two will continue to be scrutinized throughout this shortened 2011-12 season.
"As an organization, as a group, as a staff, it wasn't that big of a deal," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks of the storyline that dominated last year's NBA playoffs.
"There's nothing really to talk about. I think they're great teammates."
It wasn't just their shot attempts that people questioned. Some wondered whether Durant and Westbrook could ever coexist. They saw a classic alpha dog battle brewing and figured someone ultimately must go.
But Durant on Tuesday, as he has on numerous occasions, expressed his fondness for Westbrook, who is now eligible for a contract extension, and said he expects the point guard to be around for a long time.
"People dub us as the best two players on the team, so of course you're going to (perceive) some tension amongst a group of media guys or people from the outside looking in," Durant said.
"But I think within our group, we bounce ideas off each other and sometimes I say, 'Nah, Russ you might have to do it this way,' and we might talk about it for awhile and vice versa. But at the end of the day, we all want to win. He wants to win. I want to win, and we support each other. I'm excited he's on our team because he's a freak of nature."
Brooks downplayed any moments of tension that might have been seen last season. The coach said it's normal.
"You're with each other so long, and there's going to be parts of the season that one of them will get irritated with the other," Brooks said. "But there's no issues. Our guys are competitive and we want them to be competitive. We want them to continue to challenge each other in practice and they do."
More than any alleged alpha dog feud or imbalance in their shot attempts, the on-court bond between Westbrook and Durant really seemed to boil down to one thing: two 23-year-old All-NBA talents learning to play together.
Anyone who watched the Thunder for any stretch outside of just the playoffs had long known that Westbrook had a tendency to make questionable decisions and Durant struggled to get open and routinely make high-percentage plays down the stretch.
Those traits ultimately became the basis of all the scrutiny.
As each player reverted to what came natural, national pundits blasted two young players who were only trying to help their team. Their awkward stares at each other on the court as they attempted to figure things out on the fly only fanned the flames.
"What people don't know is this game, it's got a lot of emotions with it," said reserve point guard Eric Maynor, who famously replaced Westbrook down the stretch of a Western Conference Finals game against Dallas. "And when you're in the heat of a battle and you feel like somebody should have did something, maybe you get into an argument, and then people take them arguments and run with them. But we take the arguments and then in the next play we're on to the next one. We leave that game and we're still friends. Nobody has a problem with nobody on our team."
When asked his reaction to the national response, Westbrook said he didn't have one.
"It was nothing. The reaction was that the Oklahoma City Thunder got to the conference finals," Westbrook said. "As a team, I think we've done a great job of getting better. I wasn't really trying to make it about me or Kevin. I was more worried about how our team was doing."
Westbrook said he talks to Durant every day and they've had positive communication going into this year about what they need to do to improve. All they can do now, Westbrook said, is learn from last season and move forward.
"That's the best thing you can do, just learn and get better with each other (through) practice," Westbrook said. "Me and Kevin have been playing with each other for three years now. We're learning. It's definitely going to be miscommunication at times. But that's a part of basketball. But we're definitely going to learn."

Oklahoma police chiefs endorse mental health checks for gun buyers
A federal database that tracks people prohibited from buying a firearm may soon include the names of Oklahomans with certain mental health issues.
A bill that would require the state's county court clerks to submit to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System the names of those adjudicated mentally incompetent has passed the House and is awaiting Senate approval.
Monday, the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police announced it also would support the inclusion of the state's mental health records in the federal background check database system.
"In many of the instances that have occurred around the country where there have been mass shootings (the shooter) has at some point or another been diagnosed as mentally ill," said Norman McNickle, association president and director of public safety for Stillwater.
"We just think those records are important to keep guns out of the hands of people who aren't supposed to have them."
Federal and state law prohibits the sale of firearms to people who have been adjudicated mentally incompetent, but Oklahoma is among several states that does not currently submit its mental health records to the database.
Adjudicated mentally defective means a court has determined a person is dangerous to himself or others, lacks the mental capacity to manage his affairs, has been found incompetent to stand trial or has been found insane by a court in a criminal case.
Federally licensed firearms dealers are required by law to run the names of gun purchasers against the national database at the point of sale.
The database also keeps the names of other prohibited persons, such as felons.
But Oklahoma has only sent three mental health records to the federal database since 2009, according to the national gun safety group Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Texas, by comparison, has sent nearly 200,000.
Because of strict privacy laws, mental health conditions are currently only self-reported by prospective gun purchasers in Oklahoma, Martin said.
House Bill 1240 would work around those privacy laws by requiring court clerks, and not the state's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, to track and submit those records.
"And there is a procedure in the bill to apply for reinstatement," he said. "I have not had a cross word from anybody. Now, I haven't had people jump on it, it's not something that the (National Rifle Association) has been down here working on, but I'm sure they're aware of the bill, and if they had a problem with it, they would."
Gun-control proposals
The push in Oklahoma for better mental health record-keeping reflects legislation being pushed nationwide in the wake of the school shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead in December at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Among the list of gun-control proposals outlined by President Barack Obama in the wake of that shooting was a pledge to address barriers to mental health reporting to the federal database.
According to the Government Accountability Office, the database currently hosts 1.2 million records despite an estimated 3 million people nationwide who would not qualify to own a firearm because of their mental health history.
Delynn Fudge, federal grants division director for the state's District Attorney's Council, said Oklahoma meets federal record-sharing standards in nine of the 10 categories of people prohibited from owning a firearm.
Compliance with the mental health records category, she said, would help further secure a federal grant that brought the state $2.6 million last year alone.
"We've been working on this a couple years now, and it's kind of finally coming to the place we want it to be," Fudge said.
"When you introduce a new concept, it doesn't always happen the first year, so you keep at it, you talk to enough people that your concept takes hold."

Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big
Jose Canseco Juiced Book
Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big is a 2005 book by Jose Canseco and his personal account of steroid usage in Major League Baseball.
Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big is a 2005 book by Jose Canseco and his personal account of steroid usage in Major League Baseball. The book is autobiographical, and it focuses on Canseco's days as a major leaguer, his marriages, his daughter, and off-field incidents including his bar room brawl in 2001. The book deals primarily with anabolic steroids, drawing upon the personal experiences of Canseco. He takes personal credit for introducing steroids to baseball, and names former teammates Mark McGwire, Juan González, Rafael Palmeiro, Ivan Rodriguez, and Jason Giambi as fellow steroid users. He also believes he was blackballed by baseball when Bud Selig decided that the league needed to be cleaned up.
One of Juiced's central precepts is that steroid use is not in fact a bad thing, as long as the person is being monitored by a physician, and the dosages are small. Canseco believes that steroids can not only improve the game of baseball, but also improve and lengthen our lives. Canseco claims to discredit many of the myths regarding steroids, asserting that they do not break down a person's body if used correctly, and can actually help a person recover quickly from injuries. During the A&E Network's one-hour documentary, "Jose Canseco: The Last Shot," Canseco said he "regrets mentioning players [as steroid users]. I never realized this was going to blow up and hurt so many people."
Other topics in Juiced
- Canseco discusses his relationship with Madonna, and claims that she was infatuated with him, and that he was never really interested in her.
- Canseco details his opinions on different managers, including Tony La Russa, Joe Torre and Dusty Baker.
- Canseco claims that when he failed his drug test in 2003, it was a set up by Major League Baseball. He claimed that the MLB wanted him discredited because he was "the godfather of steroids" and could be damaging to the game.
- Canseco claims that when he was arrested for domestic violence for fighting with his first wife the two were arguing while driving on the highway, and that he accidentally hit her car.
- Canseco discusses his life on the road relating to women.
- Although Canseco accused Roger Clemens of steroid use, he extolled Clemens' apparent marital fidelity, saying that Clemens was "one of the very few baseball players I know who never cheated on his wife." However, reports of an alleged Clemens affair with country singer Mindy McCready surfaced in 2008, followed by allegations of four other Clemens extramarital affairs.
- He says that he met his second wife at a Hooters in Cleveland, Ohio.
- Canseco claims to have once run a 3.9 second 40 yard dash, which would be the fastest time ever recorded.

A taxpayer watchdog group says you should do a little research before signing any petitions to get questions on the 2006 ballot.
TaxWatch is campaigning against two proposed amendments to the state Constitution that would repeal hundreds of sales tax exemptions unless lawmakers vote to keep them in place.
Other services would be taxed unless the Legislature specifically exempts them.
Dominic Calabro with TaxWatch says, "We believe it's important for people to know what they may be even signing, ok, to the extent to which they have a better idea if they're going to sign petitions. The more they know what they're signing, the better it is."
The group pushing for the amendments calls itself "FAIR," or Floridians Against Inequalities in Rates. FAIR says the state's tax code hasn't been rewritten since 1949 and lawmakers have refused to address the issue.

To view this Maximo Mary's Microphone post directly go here.

Recently I interviewed Ralph Rio, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group about his recent paper, "Infrastructure: The Hidden Optimization Opportunity". In the interview Ralph tells us that many infrastructure assets (roads, pipelines, bridges, power lines, etc) are taken for granted and that the maintenance strategy for these assets is generally "run-to-failure". As we see in the video, many of these assets do literally run to failure. I'd say that the fire engine in the enormous sink hole would be viewed as a "catastrophe"! But perhaps a bridge collapse would be more catastrophic, not to mention the "inconvenience" to the citizens stuck in traffic because of it.

In difficult economic times, how do governments approach the maintenance of their infrastructures? Contrary to what you might think, Ralph tells us that in times of austerity, many governments are focused on implementing strategies that enable more efficient use of their resources......things like looking for multiple preventive maintenance activities that can be preformed in the same area of town at the same time. This not only maximizes the operational efficiencies of the government resources, it can also minimize the "inconvenience" to citizens.......whether we are talking about road work, bridge work, waste water pipelines, etc.

Instrumenting infrastructure assets with sensors and intelligent technologies can enhance preventive maintenance strategies to enable smarter cities. We learn in Ralph's ugly bridge example that by installing strain gages, we can monitor and fix failing bridges before they become catastrophic. This is an important and timely area of focus based on the Department of Transportation's estimate that there are 600,000 bridges in the US that are 42 years old (on average), with 1/3 over 50 years (the typical design limit). Unfortunately, as we've seen, ugly bridges can lead to catastrophes.

The recommendation Ralph leaves us with, whether you are in a government agency or a totally different industry, is to consider implementing a pilot program linking infrastructure assets with intelligent technologies. For a minimal pilot investment you can install sensors and experiment with monitoring to see how you might benefit from an intelligent infrastructure. Then based on your findings and budget, roll-out the solution more broadly.

Thanks in large part to the IBM Maximo Asset Management industry solution for Oil & Gas, the industry vision for "digital oil fields" and "refineries of the future" is becoming a reality. Advances have been made in controls and sensor technology that allow more data to be captured to make assets smart. In addition, the evolution and maturity of industry standards, largely influenced by IBM, has helped to transform intelligent asset data that can in turn be provided to enterprise applications to allow the business, operations, engineering and maintenance to make better decisions faster.

This session will be focused on the value of your time and enable you to hear in 1 hour how the smart enterprise asset management strategy can enable you to extend asset life, maximize ROA and increase equipment up-time and output quality..........all with real IBM Maximo Asset Management examples.

Bill Ely, will be the key note speaker at the event and is an active member of the IBM Asset Management community. He also leads the Maximo Oil & Gas User Group.

Recently at IBM Pulse 2010 I was able to interview Bill about the User Group meeting at Pulse. Check out what he had to say:

Hawaii quarterback Bryant Moniz, a former walk-on, passed for more than 5,000 yards last season. In the Warriors' season-opening victory over Colorado last week, he ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns.
When Hawaii quarterback Bryant Moniz ran for a 57-yard touchdown last week against Colorado, he took the shortest route possible — straight up the middle and into the end zone.
It's a stark contrast to the road he traveled to become Hawaii's starter, which included one fall at Fresno City College and two years as a pizza deliveryman. Moniz was a walk-on who was almost switched to safety before getting his chance.
"It definitely makes me appreciative," said Moniz, who will lead the Warriors against Washington on Saturday at Husky Stadium.

Most Read Stories
Moniz led the nation in passing last season (5,040 yards, 39 touchdowns) while skillfully operating Hawaii's run-and-shoot offense.
That would have been hard to imagine when Moniz was a senior at Leilehua High in Wahiawa, Hawaii. Listed at 6 feet, 200 pounds, he was timed then at 4.9 in the 40 (he says he's faster now), which had college recruiters saying thanks but no thanks.
With no offers from any Division I schools, he followed a high-school teammate to Fresno City College, where he was the starting quarterback in 2007. But he left quickly to return to Honolulu due to the birth of his daughter, deciding to walk on at Hawaii.
"I just wanted to keep playing football," he said.
To support his new family, he got a job as a pizza deliveryman, one he said he liked for its simplicity.
Initially placed on the scout team, he spent a few sessions on defense, and when he picked off a few passes, coaches thought above moving him to that side of the ball.
"Thankfully they didn't," he said.
And when Hawaii's top two quarterbacks were injured early in the 2009 season, Moniz grabbed the top spot and hasn't let go.
After some fits and starts in 2009, he blossomed in 2010, working behind a veteran offensive line and a receiving corps that included two NFL draft picks.
With many new receivers this year, however, Hawaii put in a few more plays designed for Moniz to run. It paid off when he rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries last week in a 34-17 win over Colorado.
"I think the thing that surprised our guys the most was that he's stronger than you think, and faster," said Colorado coach Jon Embree. "Our guys a couple of times thought they had him tackled and maybe overpursued a little bit, but he was strong enough to run through defensive-line tackles if you didn't hit him solid."
Moniz said the running "just kind of happened," and he won't necessarily run that much every week, though he likes that opponents have to plan for it.
Given the way they defended the pass last week against Eastern Washington, the Huskies might prefer that Moniz runs.
It should also help, however, that cornerback Quinton Richardson will return after sitting out last week with an ankle sprain. Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian said Thursday that UW will go with three-cornerback sets often to help defend Hawaii's offense.
Moniz threw for just 178 yards against Colorado, a total lower than all but one of Hawaii's games last season.
The Warriors have won 15 of the past 20 games Moniz has started. Those numbers have only ratcheted up the expectations among Hawaii fans for what Moniz might be able to do this season — and the school has set up a Facebook page to help promote his Heisman candidacy.
Moniz, though, said he takes such talk in stride.
"That kind of pressure doesn't bother me, because no one expected me to do what I've done," he said. "No one expected me to even still be playing. So there is no pressure because I feel like I've already won and proven myself and every game I just enjoy and embrace the blessing of being on the field."
• Sarkisian said the only player who played a week ago in danger of not seeing action this week is safety James Sample, who reinjured a shoulder late in Saturday's game.

In an effort to bring a level of control to the U.S.-Mexico border, Operation "Hold the Line" was established in 1993 in El Paso. Agents and technology were concentrated in specific areas, providing a "show of force" to potential illegal border crossers. The drastic reduction in apprehensions prompted the Border Patrol to undertake a full-scale effort in San Diego, California, which accounted for more than half of illegal entries. Operation "Gatekeeper" was implemented in 1994, and reduced illegal entries in San Diego by more than 75% over the next few years. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Operation "Hold the Line" on the U.S.-Mexico border.

i've just done my ESTA and gladly was approved, does it mean we still have to fill in that awful form on the plane?
The only people who have to still complete the green forms are those who elect to complete the esta and are travelling before 12 January 2009.
Thereafter the green forms are obsolete and the online esta will be compulsory.
Where are my posts gone on here?
Thought i'd posted!!!!!
Lost the plot.
Ok i post now Val is emailing mine to me but i assume you can fill them in at a travel agents.Or they would be sent out if you booked by phone?
Or is it all electronic?
if you don't have access to computer then you would have your TA log it for you, because based on that info, you would probs have bought your ticket from an agent as you don't have access to the net .....
However, to be honest, agents, in my opinion, should be offering to process applications for their clients anyways....... it is a customer service they should be providing.

Sitting Pretty
Fat Bodies, Classroom Desks, and Academic Excess
Ashley Hetrick and Derek Attig
Desks hurt us. Such an admission is an appropriate way to both begin this essay and explain the primary motivation behind our exploration of student bodies in classroom environments. It is through experiencing the physical pain and social shame of classroom desks that we first became interested in the issue of space and how it is distributed and policed in and through the homogenizing structures of desks. These desks are not, we argue, neutral and benign spaces; they are, rather, highly active material and discursive constructions that seek to both indoctrinate students' bodies and minds into the middle-class values of restraint and discipline, and inscribe these messages onto the bodies that sit in them. Classroom desks are one way that "discourses [are] deployed in order to contain fat bodies, fat people … [and] simultaneously construct and erase the fat body, attempting to expel it from representation at the very moment that defines it" (Braziel & LeBesco, 2001, p. 1). At the heart of desk design is the issue of containment, the protection of rigid spatial boundaries and uncompromising values that, paradoxically, both highlight and erase bodies that refuse to conform.
To sit in these desks—primarily in chairs attached to individual writing surfaces, or auditorium seating with hinged desks—our hips and stomachs must be pushed, shoved, and squeezed into unforgiving metal, wood, and plastic. The longer we sit in them, the more uncomfortable they become, biting into fleshy abundance and often resisting attempted release. Though we rely on these experiences of pain to ground and frame our examination, we also take care to resist what could be called the tyranny of experience. When the only or primary goal of an activist or academic project is making personal experience visible, Joan Scott writes, "analysis of the workings of this system and of its historicity" is prevented (1992, p. 25). Speaking specifically of those who identify as gay, she elaborates, "We know they exist, but not how they've been constructed; we know their existence offers a critique of normative practices, but not the extent of the critique" (p. 25). Cognizant of Scott's warning, we seek to use a consideration of our experiences as fat students as a way of approaching the description and scrutiny of the social, political, and educational conditions of those experiences.

The Bachelorette
Unseen Bachelorette Footage! Ashley Gets a Private Dance Lesson From Constantine's Dad in Episode 8
Looks like the teacher is now the student. Dancer Bachelorette Ashley got a 1-on-1 lesson from Constantine's father during Season 7's hometown dates episode on how to two-step like a true Greek. This just before having to show off her newly-learned moves in front of his ENTIRE Greek family. Nervewracking but... beats a creepy trip to the morgue, no?
