Additional Information
Prisma Honduras, S.A.This loan is administered by Prisma Honduras. Prisma is one of Kiva's first field partners in Central America and has funded over 2,500 entrepreneurs through Kiva since 2008. Prisma funds smaller than average loans for micro-entrepreneurs to help them grow businesses in urban and rural areas. To improve living conditions in Honduras, the organization strives to empower women who lack access to traditional financial services, and promotes solar panels to deliver clean, affordable electricity to rural areas. Through its four branches in southern and central Honduras, Prisma provides access to financial products to some of the poorest and most isolated communities in the country.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Public Interest in S&T and Other Issues
The Publics Sense of Being Well Informed about S&T Issues
The "Attentive Public" for S&T Issues
Public Understanding of S&T
Most people say they are interested in S&T. When asked in a survey about their level of interest, few people will admit to having no interest. This is the usual pattern that shows up in NSF surveys in which approximately 9 out of every 10 adults interviewed by telephone report they are either very or moderately interested in new scientific discoveries and the use of new inventions and technologies. (See appendix table 7-1.)
Despite the expression of interest in S&T, few people (less than 15 percent in 2001) feel very well informed about these subjects. And, available evidence suggests that their lack of confidence in their knowledge is justified, because a substantial number of people appear to be unable to answer simple science-related questions.
In this section, four topics will be covered:
Surveys conducted by NSF and other organizations consistently show that Americans are interested in S&T issues. Among those who participated in the 2001 NSF survey, 47 percent said that they were very interested in new scientific discoveries, and 43 percent reported that they were very interested in the use of new inventions and technologies. About 45 percent said that they were moderately interested in these issues, and about 10 percent reported no interest. (See appendix table 7-1 and figure 7-1 .)
Nearly everyone is interested in new medical discoveries. Year after year, more people express interest in this subject than in any other. In 2001, about two-thirds of the NSF survey respondents reported they were very interested in new medical discoveries.[4] None of the other survey items, except local school issues, received such a high percentage of very interested responses. Local school issues ranked second, with 59 percent of the respondents saying they were very interested in this topic. (See appendix table 7-1.)
In 2001, the level of interest in S&T came close to an all-time high. On a scale ranging from 0 to 100,[5] the average level of public interest in new scientific discoveries was 69. Between 1985 and 1995, the index scores for this item ranged from 61 in 1992 to 67 in 1995. (See figure 7-2 and appendix table 7-2.)
The interest index for new inventions and technologies tracks quite closely with that for new scientific discoveries. It has been no lower than 64 since 1983. In 2001, the index level for this item was 66. The highest score ever recorded for this item was 69 in 1997. (See figure 7-2 and appendix table 7-2.)
New medical discoveries is the only issue that has consistently produced interest index scores in the 80s. Scores for environmental pollution and local school issues have been in the 70s for the past 10 years. Interest in environmental pollution seems to have gradually subsided, dropping from 80 in 1990 to 70 only 11 years later. During the same period, interest in local school issues increased from 67 in 1990 to 74 in 2001. Despite all the newsworthy events taking place in space during the past few years, interest in space exploration declined, dropping from 55 in 1997 to 50 in 2001. (See "Public Attitudes Toward Space Exploration.")
When asked about their interest in S&T issues, few survey respondents admit being uninterested. However, there is reason to believe that their level of interest may not be as high as the data indicate. Surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center show crime, health, sports, and community affairs as the four types of news followed most closely by the American public; S&T ranks only seventh. (See text table 7-1 and sidebar "Leading News Stories of 2000.") Still, interest in news about S&T is only part of the story. The millions of people who visit science museums every year are also demonstrating interest in science without necessarily being interested in science news. (See "Where Americans Get Information About Science and Technology.") In addition, the number of science-related books on best seller lists seems to be increasing (Lewenstein forthcoming).[6]
In addition, S&T issues are rarely selected in most national polls designed to determine the top public priorities in the United States. For example, according to one recent poll from 2000, the leading public priorities are (1) improving the educational system, (2) keeping the economy strong, (3) securing Social Security, (4) reducing crime, and (5) securing Medicare (Pew Research Center for the People and the Press 2000a). In the same poll, protecting the environment ranked ninth, just ahead of national defense. Science did not rank among the top 14. However, when survey participants are specifically given the opportunity to rank S&T in the context of other issues, their priorities can change. In such a poll, 50 percent of those surveyed said that "more money for science research and engineering" was very important, and 44 percent said somewhat important, ranking this issue ahead of tax cuts (50 and 35 percent, respectively) and campaign finance reform (29 and 36 percent, respectively) (Research! America 2001). As in many other polls, however, education and Social Security/Medicare were ranked ahead of every other issue in terms of importance, with 85 and 72 percent, respectively, of those surveyed saying those two public agenda items were very important.
Most polls, especially those conducted during the 2000 presidential campaign, show education to be one of the public's top priorities (Gallup Poll Editors 2001). Thus, it is not surprising to see the NSF interest index score for local school issues jumping three points between 1999 and 2001 from 71 to 74, displacing environmental pollution as the public's second highest priority (after new medical discoveries).
Men express more interest than women in new scientific discoveries and the use of new inventions and technologies. (See figure 7-2 .) The 9-point gap is particularly large for the latter but smaller than the 14-point gap for space exploration. Men also express more interest than women in economic and business conditions, military and defense policy, and international and foreign policy. Women are more interested than men in new medical discoveries and local school issues; the differences are 11 and 10 points, respectively. (See appendix table 7-3.)
Level of formal education and number of mathematics and science courses completed are associated with interest in new scientific discoveries and the use of new inventions and technologies. (See figure 7-2 and appendix table 7-3.) A relationship also exists between education and level of interest in international and foreign policy, space exploration, and economic issues and business conditions. There does not seem to be a relationship between education and level of interest in new medical discoveries, military and defense policy, or environmental pollution. (See appendix table 7-3.)
In addition, people who have college degrees follow S&T stories more closely than those who do not. For example, in the July 2000 Pew Research Center survey, 25 percent of those who had college degrees said they were closely following the human genome announcement. Among those who did not have college degrees, fewer than 12 percent were closely following the story. In contrast, during the same month, 23 percent of the latter group said they were closely following the story about the Philadelphia police beating a carjacking suspect. Only 16 percent of those who had college degrees claimed to be following that story very closely (Pew Research Center for the People and the Press 2000c).
Although comparable data for the European Union, Japan, and Canada have not been collected since the late 1980s or early 1990s (these data were included in previous editions of Indicators), several items used in the U.S. survey were replicated in a 2000 survey of U.K. residents (Office of Science and Technology and The Wellcome Trust 2000). The data show that British residents express less interest than their counterparts in the United States in new medical discoveries, environmental issues, new inventions and technologies, and new scientific discoveries. (See text table 7-2 .)
In addition, U.K. survey participants were asked to rate (on a 5-point scale) their interest in, and to assess the benefits of, 11 disciplines or technologies. Rankings by level of interest and perceived benefits were similar. For example: Two health-related items, new medicines and heart and other transplants, were at the top of both lists: 35 and 28 percent, respectively, of the respondents said they were very interested in these topics. Respondents were also most likely to judge these items as beneficial; 61 and 56 percent, respectively, categorized them as very beneficial.
Ranking next in terms of both interest and perceived benefits were research into climate change as well as computing and the Internet (both with 20 percent very interested and 29 percent very beneficial responses). Respondents also saw telecommunications as being highly beneficial. In addition to the 28 percent who judged these technologies as being very beneficial, another 52 percent gave this item a "4" on the 5-point scale, placing it just behind new medicines and heart and other transplants in terms of the total percentage scoring this category beneficial. However, only 16 percent of the respondents said they were very interested in telecommunications. New and faster methods of transportation rounded out the top six categories.
Five items received the lowest scores under both criteria. In order of perceived benefits were human fertility testing, new methods of food production and manufacture, space research and astronomy, genetic testing, and cloning. Respondents expressed more interest, however, in space and food than in the other biology-related categories.
In general, most Americans feel that they are not well informed about S&T issues. In fact, for all issues included in the 2001 NSF survey, the level of feeling well informed was considerably lower than the level of expressed interest. For example, in the 2001 NSF survey, nearly half of the respondents said they were very interested in new developments in science and technology. Yet fewer than 15 percent of respondents described themselves as very well informed about new scientific discoveries and the use of new inventions and technologies; approximately 30 percent considered themselves poorly informed. (See appendix table 7-4.) Consequently, the corresponding index scores[7] were lower than the interest index scores for those same issues. (See figure 7-1 .)
In 2001, three issues exhibited index scores in the 50s (local school issues, economic issues and business conditions, and new medical discoveries); two exhibited scores in the 40s (environmental pollution and issues about new scientific discoveries); and the other five exhibited scores in the 30s. (See appendix table 7-5.)
The NSF survey shows that people are feeling less informed than they used to. This downward trend is particularly noticeable for the five S&T-related issues included in the survey: between 1997 and 2001, index scores fell 5 or more points for four issues (new medical discoveries, new scientific discoveries, the use of new inventions and technologies, and space exploration) and 4 points for environmental pollution.
Men were more likely than women to feel well informed about 6 of the 10 issues included in the 2001 NSF survey. By far the widest gap, 13 points, was in space exploration. Military and defense policy and economic issues and business conditions had gender gaps of 10 and 9 points, respectively. Other items (for example, issues about new scientific discoveries and international and foreign policy issues) had gender gaps of 7 or fewer points. (See appendix table 7-6.)
In contrast, women were more likely than men to feel well informed about two issues in the survey: local school issues and new medical discoveries. For these issues, the disparity in index scores between the two sexes was 10 and 7 points, respectively.
As expected, in general, the more education an individual has, and the more mathematics and science courses the individual has completed, the better informed that person believes he or she is. The relationship between education and feeling well informed is evident for new scientific discoveries, the use of new inventions and technologies, space exploration, economic issues and business conditions, and international and foreign policy issues, but not for the other issues in the survey. (See appendix table 7-6.)
It may not be easy to pinpoint exactly the audience for issues pertaining to S&T policy. It is probably safe to say that members of the S&E workforce, especially those in the academic community, are interested in and well informed about various S&T policy issues. However, the number of members in this community is relatively small. (See chapter 3, "Science and Engineering Workforce," and chapter 5, "Academic Research and Development.")
In addition to scientists and engineers and those who work in science policy, other members of the public are interested in S&T and probably pay attention to news reports about new scientific discoveries and new inventions and technologies. Also, some people are attentive because a particular S&T-related issue or event is affecting their daily lives. This type of situation was portrayed in the popular movie Erin Brockovich, in which the main character, who was not a scientist or even well educated, embarked on a mission to learn everything she could about a scientific issue that was at the center of a court case. Although the science community took umbrage at the way scientific evidence was portrayed in the film (Kolata 2000), the movie illustrates how people become informed and attentive when their health and well-being are at stake.
It is important to identify the audience for S&T issues so that the attitudes of this group can be compared with those of everyone else. Therefore, it is useful to classify the public into three groups:
Given these criteria, there is an attentive public for every policy issue. The corresponding groups differ in size and composition. For example, data for 2001 showed that, for most issues covered by the NSF survey, fewer than 10 percent of the public could be considered attentive. Local school issues had, by far, the largest audience, followed by new medical discoveries, economic and business conditions, and environmental pollution. In 2001, 31, 14, 12, and 10 percent, respectively, of all survey respondents were classified as attentive to those subjects. (See appendix table 7-7.)
People likely to be attentive to S&T issues are identified by combining the attentive public for new scientific discoveries with the attentive public for new inventions and technologies. In 2001, 10 percent of the population met the criteria, down from 14 percent in 1997. In 2001, 48 percent of the population could be classified as the interested public for S&T issues; the residual public constituted 42 percent of the total. (See appendix table 7-7.)
Men were more likely than women to be attentive to S&T issues. (See figure 7-3 and appendix table 7-8.) In addition, a direct correlation exists between attentiveness to S&T issues, years of formal education, and the number of science and mathematics courses completed during high school and college. In 2001, only 3 percent of people lacking high school diplomas were classified as attentive to S&T issues, compared with 23 percent of those who had graduate and/or professional degrees. Similarly, 7 percent of those having limited coursework in science and mathematics were attentive to S&T issues compared with 18 percent of those who had completed nine or more high school and college courses in science or mathematics.
Science literacy in the United States is fairly low.[9] The majority of the general public knows a little, but not a lot, about S&T. For example, most Americans know that Earth travels around the Sun and that light travels faster than sound. However, few can successfully define molecule. In addition, most Americans are unfamiliar with the scientific process.
People who have knowledge of basic science facts, concepts, and vocabulary may have an easier time following news reports and participating in public discourse on various issues pertaining to S&T. Even more important than having basic knowledge may be an appreciation for the nature of scientific inquiry. Understanding how ideas are investigated and analyzed can be valuable for staying abreast of important issues, participating in the political process, and assessing the validity of other types of information. (See "Science Fiction and Pseudoscience.") According to a science journalist:
The NSF survey contains a series of questions designed to assess public knowledge and understanding of basic science concepts and terms. The survey includes 18 such questions: 13 true or false, 3 multiple choice, and 2 open-ended questions that asked respondents to define in their own words DNA and molecule. In addition, the survey includes questions designed to test public understanding of the scientific process, including knowledge of what it means to study something scientifically, how experiments are conducted, and probability.
The percentage of correct responses to most of the NSF survey questions pertaining to basic science facts, concepts, and vocabulary has remained nearly constant. (See appendix table 7-9.) For example, more than 70 percent of those surveyed knew that:
In contrast, about half the respondents knew that:
A strong, positive relationship exists between number of correctly answered questions and level of formal education, number of science and mathematics courses completed, and attentiveness to S&T. For example, those who did not complete high school answered an average of 50 percent of the questions correctly compared with scores of 63 percent for high school graduates, 77 percent for college graduates, and 80 percent for those who earned graduate or professional degrees. (See appendix table 7-9.)
In addition, only 22 percent of respondents were able to define molecule, and 45 percent gave an acceptable definition for DNA.[10] Although the percentage of correct responses to these questions was considerably lower than that for most of the short-answer questions, it is noteworthy that the percentage of correct responses increased in the late 1990s.
A higher percentage of men than women answered every question but three correctly. The gender gap was 20 or more points for four questions:
More women than men answered the following questions correctly:
For the first time, a majority of all survey respondents answered the antibiotic question correctly (although a majority of men missed it). The growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has received widespread media coverage during the past few years. In identifying the main cause of the problem, the overprescribing of antibiotics, it is almost always mentioned that antibiotics are ineffective in killing viruses. In addition, parents of young children, especially those prone to ear infections, have been warned by their pediatricians about this problem. Although the message still has not reached a large segment of the population, the percentage of those answering correctly has been rising, from 40 percent in 1995 to 51 percent in 2001.
During most of the 20th century, probably the most contentious issue in science teaching has been whether evolution is taught or not taught in U.S. public school classrooms. The latest major dispute in this long-running battle was the Kansas State Board of Education's 1999 decision to delete evolution from the state's science standards. This event received widespread coverage in the press and sparked an outcry in the science community.[11] In addition, most of the public was not happy with the decision; 60 percent of Americans were opposed to the school board's action.[12] Moreover, most Kansans also felt the same way.[13] Thus, it was not too surprising when two board members who had voted for the change were defeated in the next election by candidates who supported the teaching of evolution. Subsequently, the reconstituted Kansas School Board reversed the decision.
The attention received by the Kansas controversy may be responsible for a change in response to the "evolution" question. For the first time, a majority of survey respondents answered true to the statement "human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals," representing a major change in response to this question[14] and bringing the United States more in line with other industrialized countries in response to this question (Gendall, Smith, and Russell 1995).
Gallup polls taken during the past 20 years consistently show a plurality (45 percent in February 2001) of Americans agreeing with the statement: "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so" (Brooks 2001).
In addition, two-thirds of those surveyed (68 percent) favor teaching this belief (known as creationism) along with evolution in public schools, although 29 percent are opposed. However, 55 percent are opposed to teaching creationism instead of evolution (Gallup News Service 2000).
A study conducted for the People for the American Way Foundation took a closer look at the question of teaching evolution and found an overwhelming majority of Americans (83 percent) agreeing that it should be taught in the classroom. However, there is also strong support for teaching creationism. A detailed breakdown of the survey findings shows a wide range of opinion on the issue:
The NSF survey also includes questions intended to determine how well the public understands the scientific process. Respondents are asked to explain what it means to study something scientifically.[15] In addition, respondents are asked questions pertaining to the experimental evaluation of a drug and about probability.[16]
A combination of each survey participant's responses to the three items is used to estimate his or her overall level of understanding of the scientific process. To be classified as "understanding the scientific process," a respondent must answer all the probability questions correctly and either provide a "theory testing" response to the question about what it means to study something scientifically or provide a correct response to the open-ended question by explaining why it is better to test a drug using a control group. In 2001, 30 percent of respondents met these criteria. (See footnote 10, figure 7-5 , and appendix table 7-11.)
Few science or technology stories attract much public interest. According to the Pew Research Center's surveys, which track public interest in specific domestic and international news stories, the leading science-related news story of 2000 was the announcement that scientists had completed mapping the human genome (Pew Research Center for the People and the Press 2000c). However, only 16 percent of those interviewed reported that they were following this story very closely. In contrast, 61 percent said they were closely following the recent increase in gas prices, putting that issue at the top of the list of leading news stories of 2000, followed by the terrorist attack on the USS Cole, at 44 percent.[*] Rounding out the top 10, at number 10, was the Super Bowl; 31 percent of those surveyed reported they were closely following that story, nearly twice as many as the number who said they were closely following the human genome story.
The Federal court ruling ordering the breakup of Microsoft (since overturned) attracted almost as much interest as the Super Bowl story; 28 percent said they were closely following the Microsoft story.[†] However, this news may have been more of a business story than a technology story, although a case can be made that the court decision will have a major effect on innovation in the software industry. The Microsoft case spotlights an issue that has long been a fertile subject for study and debate among economists, which is the effect of antitrust policy on innovation.
Death and/or destruction usually lead Pew's list of the top 10 stories each year (although 2000 was somewhat of an exception). In fact, most of the science-related stories on the list of the most closely followed stories of the past 15 years are about natural disasters, e.g., earthquakes, floods, and other weather-related stories. Only about 2 percent of the 776 stories on the list are about scientific breakthroughs, research, and exploration (Pew Research Center for the People and the Press 2000d).
[*] Although the increase in gas prices received less press coverage than the election, this story hits closer to home for most people. This is the highest recorded interest in gas prices since the Persian Gulf War in 1990.
[†] According to a Gallup poll, although about half the public believes Microsoft is a monopoly, most people do not think the company should be broken up (Moore 2001).

In his first professional performance, Logan Sejas played one of theater's most iconic roles when he was Tiny Tim in "A Christmas Carol."
The 10-year-old Franklin boy has followed it up with an equally impressive part.
Logan has been cast as Michael Banks in the classic musical "Mary Poppins," now playing at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.
He'll get into magical shenanigans with the eccentric nanny on a nightly basis and sing beloved songs such as "A Spoonful of Sugar" and "Supercalifragilisticexpidalidocious."
"Mary Poppins" runs through June 29 at the theater, at 9301 Michigan Road, Indianapolis. Tickets range from $38.50 to $63.50 and include a buffet meal.
For a full schedule of show times and dates, go to beefandboards.com/marypoppins.
How did this opportunity come about?
I just love "Mary Poppins," and my mom just took me to see it on Broadway because I like to do theater. I said I wanted to do it; and then one day, Beef & Boards was doing "Mary Poppins."
What has it been like doing "A Christmas Carol" and "Mary Poppins" back-to-back?
I'm glad it's been like that because I'm more used to all-day rehearsals. At the old shows, we'd have rehearsal for a few hours, but the whole, we wouldn't be doing stuff.
Once you tried out for Michael and received the role, how did you prepare?
My mom bought the soundtrack, but I kind of already knew all the songs.
I knew the rhythm, so they were familiar to me. I had been in another version before, too, called, "Scary Mary." So I knew it.
What were rehearsals like?
They went from 9 a.m. to noon, then an hour break, then we go until 7 p.m. It's been busy days. But it got us ready.
Why do you think other people will enjoy this show?
"Mary Poppins" is a really cool show. She does the magic tricks and dancing and singing. It's a really nice show, and a family show.
Do you have a favorite performance you do during the play?
Pretty much all of it is good. I really like "Step In Time" a lot. I like watching the dancers do crazy things. They're really good dancers.
Why is theater something that you enjoy?
What my mom says is that, "It's a gift that should be shared."

Tenderizing meat, either manually or with a solution, makes for a tasty dish. This guide is about how to tenderize meats.
Tenderize meat with equal parts of strong brewed tea
and double strength beef stock for a tough pot roast
or stew. The tannin in tea is a natural meat tenderizer.

I am looking for meat tenderizers for beef, (e.g. minute steaks and other less tender meats).
Bo from Ontario
Bulk Barn has meat tenderizer for about a buck for 100 grams. The seasoned stuff is a bit less and the plain white stuff a bit more. (The active ingredient is probably more costly than the seasoning used.) This works in 20 minutes, just like the Magic Creations Beef Marinade Zehrs had for 99¢/25 grams, but don't have anymore. I use about a tablespoon in enough water to cover the steak after perforating it with a fork. I buy the seasoned tenderizer, but you could probably cut it with the plain stuff if you find the seasoning a bit much.

By JodiT from Aurora, CO
To tenderize a pork loin or pork butt, put 1 gallon cold water , 1 can of regular Pepsi, Coke, or any dark soda, and 1/2 cup table salt in a large enough container to hold the meat. Add garlic and your seasonings. Put the pork into the mixture and marinate overnight. Roast the pork on a rack at 350 degrees F until meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F.

Can meat tenderizer be added during the cooking process if I failed to put it on earlier?
By cnml
You can, but it won't be as strong.
Use 2-3 Tbsp. of vinegar to tenderize meat. I add to my favorite marinade or, if I am not using a marinade, I mix 1/4 cup canola oil, 1/2 cup water and 2-3 Tbsp. vinegar (you can also use red wine vinegar but it takes 5-6 Tbsp.)
By Lisa from Waynesville,NC
When making stews or soups, and the meat will not get tender, try dipping a large wet tablespoon in your baking soda box and stirring it into your pot. It will foam up and disappear, with no effect on the texture or taste, tenderizing your meat. It really works!
By Jayme from Mansfield, TX
I was trying to buy a flank steak, but accidently bought a beef brisket. My husband says they are very tough and marinating won't help.
I'm not fond of chemicals,Is there a way to tenderize this without buying equipment?
I would LOVE a melt-in-your-mouth recipe to make my husband proud!
Thank you,
Personally I like to smoke it first with about 10 ounces of Hickory (not mesquite) chips. Smoke it for about 2 hrs or so. Then remove it from the smoker. Wrap and seal it in foil, shinney side in(to prevent the foil from retracting the heat) and bake it in the oven for an additional 4 to 6 hours at 250 degrees f. Wrap it in foil so it cooks in its own juices. If you dont have a smoker skip that step. Comes out nice and juicy very tender.

Hello again,
Everyone should now be receiving notifications. One of our developers identified the bug that was causing the continued problems some users were experiencing.
Do please let us know if the notications are still not arriving.
Daniel HaynesEditor, gardenersworld.com
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the feedback, and apologies to those of you who have had a deluge of notifications! They should now come through at a more steady pace...
MrsGarden: I checked your settings and the notifications were actually set to 'On' - I've switched them off for you. It would also be worth removing each of the 'followed threads' from the list on your settings page.
4thPanda, potty gardener and dolgarrog: You should be receiving notifications - it could be that they'll start again shortly. I'll ask someone on the team to look into it.
Daniel Haynes
Editor, gardenersworld.com
As you know, we still have fixes outstanding for various forum bugs. Here is a (rather epic) update on progress:
Problem uploading avatar images
This is a bug affecting some users of Internet Explorer. The development work on this was completed yesterday. Anticipated time until live on site – one week. In the meantime, if you wish to upload a new avatar, please try using another browser, such as Firefox or Chrome.
Private messages not displaying in correct order and other PM glitches
A developer is currently working on this issue. It will go into testing next week, so approximate lead time is two weeks.
Posting on the forum when logged out – error page displayed
We had a bug whereby forum posts written while logged out of the site were lost, and an error page was returned. Now, if you post while logged out, you'll be returned to your profile page after signing in – your post will appear when you navigate to the forum. This fix is now live on the site.
We use a third-party spellchecker tool, which the supplier is discontinuing, due to spellchecker tools being built into browsers.
So: the spellchecker will shortly be removed from the 'edit' menu bar, as it no longer works. We're looking at implementing another spellchecker tool – the 'go live' date is likely to be a month or so.
As an interim solution I've just tested the built-in spellcheckers within Chrome and Firefox, but they're not working within the 'edit' box. One of our developers will be looking at fixing this (likely to be a full day's work), so I'll let you know once I have more news. Hopefully we can get those working for you until the more permanent solution is implemented.
Notification messages
I'm told the notifications are now working again and the fix is live on the site. Do, of course, let us know if you have any further problems.
Christmas-themed emoticons
The Christmas-themed emoticons were popular last year, so we're bringing them back for Christmas 2013. This is expected to happen in the next week, as part of our next 'site build'. (This is far too early for anything related to Christmas in my view – I suggest ignoring them until early December.)
I think that's everything!
Hello Stacey, thanks for the alert. I can't see anything on the Netiquette thread that breaches the code of conduct. It would be a shame to delete it, as your original post is useful, and offers food for thought!
Hello everyone, Apologies for the ongoing problems. I'll post a full update on progress with the fixes tomorrow.
Hello fidgetbones,
We'll continue moderating the site as usual. We try to be as 'hands off' as possible - we don't wade in to minor disputes, which are a perfectly natural part of any gathering of people, whether online or in the 'real' world. The odd bit of 'argy bargy' is different, though, to the peevishness which has cast a pall over the forum of late.
So, if need be, we'll be slightly more 'hands on' with the 'delete' button. I'm hoping it won't come to that, though!
Hello AJK,
Yes, we do have a forum code of conduct, which you can read here:
http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/codeofconduct.aspxI quite agree with your comments. "Strops and in-fighting" are not very helpful, and only detract from the true purpose of this forum - for people to share a love of plants and gardening, to exchange ideas and help each other resolve problems.
We will remove comments that breach the code of conduct, and - if absolutely necessary - entire threads. We'd really rather not do this, as we don't want to stifle free speech, but we don't publish the forum as a platform for people to pick fights with each other. We're running a gardening forum, not a kindergarten! So, if we find any more threads started for the sole purpose of spreading arguments, they will be removed from the site. Likewise, any comments disparaging other users.
Sniping and griping shouldn't have any place in what is usually a very positive and friendly forum. Let's keep it that way!
Thank you, dovefromabove! I'll have an update on progress with the dev work next week.
Hello everyone. Thanks for flagging this up. I've passed this on to the developers, and asked for it to be dealt with at the same time as the other issues that are currently being worked on.
An update on the remaining technical issues with the forum:
We've bundled the separate issues (spellchecker, notifications, edit and quote tools, problems uploading avatar) into one support 'ticket', with the aim of implementing all the fixes in one go. Our helpdesk manager tells me that developers will spend time on it this week and next.
As usual, once fixes are found, they need to enter a period of testing to ensure they work across different plantforms, operating systems and browsers. So, on that basis, we'd expect the fixes to go live on the site within two to two-and-a-half weeks. Please bear in mind that is dependent on the scale of the work, but that's the information I have at present.
It would be nice to get it all sorted quicker than this, but please be assured it's being dealt with. So, let's grit our teeth a little longer - a more stable forum shouldn't be too far away!
Thanks for your patience, as ever.

Anyone intend on writing the guide? I am new to this game and would like to see some info regarding the achievement guide if anyone can find the time. Even playing the old PC version gave me trouble as I couldn't figure this game out half the time. Thanks in advance to whomever undertakes this guide.
I would love a guide for this game please!
same here. Has anyone 100% this game? Price drop just happened and i'm thinking about picking up this game.
You guys have any specific questions? I'm playing through it now and have played Pirates many, many times in the past on PC and PSP so I've already got a sense of how this will go.
It will be a 2-playthrough thing. One on apprentice to get just about everything (the city bombardment with less than 15 cannons would be really tough on Rogue) and then a playthrough on Rogue where you basically try to get to Montalban as fast as possible.
Should be fun.
If the dancing gives you real trouble, you could do a 3rd playthrough where you pick Wit & Charm (makes dancing easier) and try to get the two dancing items and play on apprentice. That's probably your best shot at getting the 150x combo.
I don't really forsee any problem getting all these achievements. Should be real fun.

I work at a large sporting club that has, amongst other facilities, a swimming pool (recently re-opened after a major renovation).
The main pool and the kiddies pool are both connected to the same filtration system, so when some child has a bit of a "whoopsie" (and we're talking the solid kind) the pool gets shut for 4 hours so that the system can run a full cycle.
Ok, kids have accidents - this I know. However, the club sells the waterproof swimming style nappies (diapers) cheaply right by the side of the pool. It was noted in last months newsletter and message from the GM that it had happened 4 times in one week after the re-opening. People were asked to keep a better eye on their kids etc.
It happened again today. A number of members have chewed my ear about it and I'm in a completely different area!
Seriously...how hard is it to watch your kid and put the waterproof (ie keep the mess in) nappy/diaper on it?

Oklahoma City Thunder: Alex Abrines a globetrotting gamble for OKC
For both parties, the draft night pairing of Spanish sharpshooter Alex Abrines and the Thunder couldn't have been a better fit.
OKC, with limited roster spots and two first-round picks already in tow, snatched up the rights to one of the premier international players, a 19-year-old, 6-foot-6 two-guard who will groom his skills in Europe's premier hoops league the next few seasons.
And Abrines got exactly what he wanted, linking up with an organization known for its international research/development and, more importantly, securing the unbinding financial regulations that come with being a second-round pick.
"He's not locked in to the NBA rookie salary scale in the first round, which is exactly what his people wanted," ESPN international hoops expert Fran Fraschilla said. "So now he stays in Spain until he's ready, until both parties think he's ready, and then when he does come over and his stock is really high, then he gets to sign a bigger contract than if he was 29th or 30th (overall)."
But that remains the lingering question. When will this talented youngster, both personally and professionally, feel prepared enough to make the jump? And will it coincide with a time the Thunder want and need him?
There's draft and stash tales to both extremes. Some of the league's brightest young stars (Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Ricky Rubio) came over in the past decade, while plenty of others (ever heard of Fran Vasquez, Milas Vujanic or Malik Badiane?) serve as a wasted pick, never making it to the states.
But the OKC brass, careful and calculated, seem to like the winning situation in which Abrines currently resides.
Last season, as the pup on traditional Spanish power Barcelona Regal, Abrines only averaged 3.9 points in 10 minutes per game.
"(He) gets very little time on Barcelona's team, because outside of the NBA, it might be one of the two best teams in the world," Fraschilla said on draft night.
But he had some big performances, including a 21-point breakout against Macabbi Tel Aviv, and gained useful experience playing deep into the playoffs for a team that has reached the Spanish ACB League Finals seven straight seasons.
"And he's earned his way onto the floor there in some pretty pivotal games at a very young age," Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti said of Abrines. "I think that our international group did a very good job identifying him very early in the process."
Known for that pure shooting stroke, Abrines has also impressed Presti with his competitiveness. Many of his teammates, longtime professionals, have raved about his practice habits to the Thunder GM.
When he comes to OKC — if he comes to OKC — the Thunder will likely have to work out a buyout with Barcelona. But in the meantime, the Thunder seems content watching its young talent blossom overseas.
"He's someone who we're going to work with and figure out what his time frame is," Presti said. "But to be able to add a player who shoots the ball like that, plays against top-level competition in Europe at a young age, we like investing in that."

There is a big word in the title. You are either reading this because, you don't know what it means and want to find out or you know what it means, but have no idea what it has to do with microprocessors. Either way, I'm hoping you are hooked because I think we are witnessing a second dramatic change in the computer market (the first being multi-core). As many of you know, I have had many a sleepless night when it comes to multi-core. In the fits of my obsession, however, I may have missed something.
The commodity microprocessor (i.e. x86) has been the juggernaut of the computer industry. For HPC clusters the turning point came when the Intel Pentium Pro was released. It was fast enough for HPC (thanks to a much improved Floating Point Unit), it worked well in dual processor servers, and it made for great workstations and desktops. All the same part at the same price. Then the marketing department got involved. Why charge the same for a "server" processor as a "desktop" processor when servers cost much more than desktops. Thus, began the Xeon age and with it the server, workstation, and desktop markets were created by adding/deleting features from a baseline processor design. Great marketing — however, the processors were basically the same. In a way, it reminds of the old Sunoco gas pumps where you could mix your own octane grade. The price of course increased with the octane. Now we have regular (desktop), midrange (workstation), and high test (server). In case you don't read Consumer Reports, it is basically all the same gasoline.
I currently have a small four node (single socket) Core 2 Duo cluster that can achieve 47 GFLOPS on the Top500 HPL benchmark. I built the cluster in 2007 for a cost of $2300 (That is less than $50 per GFLOP). How is this possible? Inside the nodes, the processors are basically the same as those used in the servers that crank out the big Top500 ratings. Of course, marketing lowered the octane on my processors, but they still come from the same refinery as it were. The better grade fuel may help you go faster, but not that much faster.
While I'm using automotive analogies, let's introduce the megahertz wall. You know, the big cement wall in the middle of the road that all the fast and hot single core CPU's crashed into. Yea that one. And, thus the multi-core era began. This is where things get interesting. In the server market, multi-core is actually a good thing. Much of what a server does is stateless or at least independent, so more cores means more throughput. Throw in virtualization and the whole multi-core thing does not seem so bad. Moving on down to workstations (and in a sense HPC clusters), multi-core is again kind-of welcome. More cores, more work gets done, but there is the programming issue. I have talked at length in the past about this issue and will continue to do so in the future.
Let's take a look at the desktop market. Multi-core really does not make much sense here. Spreadsheets, word processors, and browsers run pretty well on slow processors. Of course there is multimedia. Now there is a core-sucking application area if I ever saw one. However, any multimedia/gaming fanboy/fangirl worth their bits has a high end video card specifically designed to do the grunt work. The cores could do this kind of processing, but the results would be slower as cores are designed for general purpose computing.
At this point, a small sidebar may be helpful. If we look at how computers are used, one could make a general distinction between two types of computing: predictable and general/non-predictable. Some examples will help. If I have to multiply two large matrices together that is a highly predictable operation. If I have to service database requests, that is very non-predictable operation. A general purpose processor can be used for all types of computing, but it must dedicate silicon to handle all kinds of unpredictablness. A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) on the other hand, is designed to perform predictable computing. The types of operations are similar, very repetitive, and parallel. If we were to look at
the desktop/laptop PC we find a a mix of uses. A word processor is non-predictable as is running a desktop windowing system. On the other hand, multimedia presents a very predictable and parallel type of computation. Moving to the high end, a web/database server is obviously non-predictable. When a multi-core server is used in a cluster, it is doing highly predictable computing. With that in mind, let's take a hard look at where things might be headed in the future.
As mentioned, most desktop/laptop systems do a mix of computing. However, it is safe to say that most desktop applications do not need all the horsepower available in the current multi-core offering. Dumping in more cores is probably not going to make that word processor much faster. Dumping in more GPU hardware will help when it comes to multimedia and that seems to be where desktops are headed. Because the GPU hardware is specifically designed for predicable computing, it will work much better than extra cores. What may serve this market better is an "average" processor coupled with massively parallel Predictable/Parallel Computing Units or PCU for short (i.e. another way to say GP-GPU). This design is similar to the IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell Processor. Indeed, if NVidia were to drop general computing core into one of their Tesla products, I would not be surprised. Considering that AMD has FireStream and Intel has a powerpoint version of Larrabee, there may actually be something going on here. It should be mentioned that the world's fastest computer (as measured by the HPL benchmark), RoadRunner at Los Alamos National Lab, uses Cell processors.
The fork, or bifurcation, in processors may soon be upon us. The traditional multi-core for non-predictable general computing vs. the single core plus PCU unit for predictable computing may be the way we look at things in the future. In a year, there may very well be two paths in commodity processor development. The first will be the growth of multi-core (more cores per die) and the second the growth of PCU processors. Unlike, my gasoline analogy, these designs will be very different and have very different performance profiles.
If my prognostications are true, there is one big question on the horizon. What is best for HPC and clusters? The startling performance of CUDA enabled applications from NVidia has people wondering. I would guess this is just the first of many such successes (although good luck trying to pull that PS3 out of your kids hands so you can play with a Cell processor). HPC is predictable computing and the desktop/game console market may turn out to be a bigger driver of HPC than the server market. Interesting times lie ahead. Maybe my anxiety about multi-core has been misplaced. Perhaps, everything will be alright, but then how will we program large numbers of PCU's? In the end, it always seems to be about the software.
core-suck is my new favorite phrase.
I'm sorry, Sunoco gas pumps? I'm only 35 so you might need to need to update your analogies a bit. ;-)
Niche CPU's were never viable because of Moore's Law effect on single core performance. If you spent a large amount money on research and development to make a processor that ran a specific group programs twice as fast it would be outdated by a general purpose CPU in 5 months. Which isn't enough time to recover R&D costs in a niche market.
This means that nonparallel dependency ridden programs will start having niche hardware produced. You are starting to see this is places like Azul. Your right we are gonna start seeing a lot of interesting processors, and there will eventually be even more forks down this processor road.
Azul? that is amusing. They are on the first floor of the building I work in (that should make it obvious who I work for if you know where Azul is located). They have been losing money (did they ever make money in fact?) and little by little my company has been taking over their space and taking more of the spaces in the partking lot. Niche hardware just doesn't make sense financially. Your first paragraph is correct, but then your second paragraph seems to contradict that.
While considering High Performance Computing, there are a few factors that need consideration:
1.) Whether the application/software is freshly designed, keeping in mind the hardware/processor that it is going to run on, or whether it is a port of a legacy code or an enhancement of an existing code. Considering on how the software industry has evolved; and the amount of money poured in to the maintenance of an existing software product, it is not very likely that software giants will be very keen to re-develop. The emphasis is mostly on re-using the existing code and getting them to work on new platforms. The fact is that most of this code is nonconformist to the new multi-core processor (and are not thread aware) and is not able to exploit multiple processors either. Most of these codes will are light weight and do not need the performance of a multi-core system.
2.) Self modifying code will play an important role in the future of "intelligent" products and predictive computing, and they are still a handful to manage on single core processors. The introduction of multiple cores will further complicate the working of such code.
3.) The introduction of multiple cores (and multiple processors) on a server also introduces the problem of synchronizing different execution flows on different processors/cores, and the possibility of deadlocks. Greater the number of processors/cores, greater will be the time wasted by the individual processor for synchronization. Thus it is not necessary that the increase in the number of processors/cores will translate to increase in performance. Remember the old adage: "Too many cooks spoil the broth".
The need is to be able to segregate the utility of the server/computer. Gaming needs multiple cores and will have to take a separate path, but servers running normal applications can still work with a single core. The cost of maintaining a complex application is huge, and it is unlikely that the end user will be keen to bear it.

Hi, just joined the forum and wondered about the value of my Trek 950.
I am the original owner, and it's been in storage since the early 90's. I couldn't remember what year I bought it, but according to vintage-trek.com the colors and the serial number make it a 1989. Original MSRP was $529.
Everything works just fine and there's no rust and nothing needs adjusting. The sealed bearings have held up well and all moving parts are silky smooth. Amazingly, even the original 23 year old tires seem fine with no cracking of the rubber.
Except for the seat (I had the dealer swap to the one on there now when I bought it) and the handle bar, everything is original from the factory. I have the original handle bar as a spare, as well as 2 water bottle brackets.
No local dealers buy used bikes, and only one gave me a ball park figure of $200, maybe $250 to the right person. Does that sound like a reasonable starting point on price, or is that too high in today's market (I'm in the Phoenix area)?
Does the lack of suspension, which all modern bikes seem to have, affect the desirability?
Also, I'm not completely sure of the size, but think it's a 20".

First Nations Summit with Harper Sets the Stage for Next Budget: Chiefs: First Nations Summit First, Money Next: Atleo
Scoffield, Heather, The Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Next week's First Nations summit will include hundreds of chiefs, the prime minister, the Governor General and about a dozen cabinet ministers.
But Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will be conspicuous by his absence.
Forging a new fiscal relationship is central to the meeting, with both aboriginal leaders and the government alike recognizing a pressing need to discuss how money is best spent.
Actual money won't come until the next federal budget at the earliest.
"It's not a budget negotiation. It's much more than that," National Chief Shawn Atleo said in an interview Friday.
First Nations leaders want an end to the unpredictable nature of the current grant-based funding -- a system that has frequently been criticized by the federal auditor general for being unreliable and preventing solid planning.
Instead, they want a new framework that would see a statutory commitment to continuing funding that would see the responsibility shared by both the federal government and First Nations leaders.
"It's about completely transforming the way we do our work. And it's about seeking commitments that the Crown will work with us to change the fiscal relationship, that we would move towards more stable, long-term fiscal relationships," Atleo said.
"And that we would do that work together, and that we would move away from the unilateral nature of decision making."
Flaherty's sanction is not really necessary for those kinds of conversations. But for First Nations, changing the fiscal structure is only the first step.
Follow-up in the next budget is crucial, especially on education, if the federal government is going to live up to its commitments under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples signed recently by Canada, First Nations leaders say.
"I would certainly be looking to the upcoming budget," Atleo signalled.
The start of the next fiscal year will be the sign for many First Nations about whether Stephen Harper is serious about working with aboriginals, says Grand Chief David Harper of the Northern Manitoba Chiefs.
At that point, native communities will feel the practical impacts of improvements Harper has committed to, or whether he plans to cut funds for housing -- as many chiefs suspect.
"The results, they'll say a lot," Chief Harper said in a telephone interview.
At a minimum, chiefs want to see parity with non-First Nations people on funding for education, child welfare and social services. But those items alone would cost the federal government billions of dollars. …
