On the Provision of Public Goods in Dynamic Contracts: Lack of Commitment
We study a model of efficient risk sharing between two agents, A and B, who enjoy a non-durable common good. Only agent B can provide the common good whereas agent A can merely contribute indirectly by making transfers to the provider, agent B. We consider self-enforcing equilibria in the absence of commitment. We characterize the Pareto frontier of the subgame perfect equilibrium payoffs. The main results are: First, the consumption of the public good is significantly more stable than are the private consumptions. Second, in the absence of aggregate uncertainty, agents' consumptions are invariant to distribution of income in most cases. In the remaining cases, private consumptions and continuation values covary positively with respective incomes. Third, if some first best allocation is sustainable, the long-term equilibrium converges to the first best allocation. Otherwise, agents' utilities oscillate over a finite set of values. We find that an increase in the provider's deviation lifetime utility shifts the frontier of the set of subgame perfect equilibrium payoffs to exclude the lowest values of the provider (hence the highest values of the other). A decrease in the provider's deviation lifetime utility shifts the frontier of the set to include lower values for the provider (hence higher values for the other)

Edit Article
How to Help a Friend Cheat on a Test
Ever been sitting in class taking a quiz and your friend asks you for an answer? Don't worry about it from now on because, after you read this article you will know exactly what to do.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Read up on the article How to Cheat On a Test. It will give you a lot of practical advice on cheating. If you yourself know how to cheat, it will be much easier to help others cheat.
2Sit close to your friend or whoever you're helping cheat to tell them the answers. Just close enough so that the teacher won't be able to hear you.
3Always be looking at the teacher/student teacher while you tell the answer to your friend. The only reason you have to do this is so you'll know if they're looking at you.
4You should probably already know that you have to say the answers quietly, but putting a book or something in front of your mouth really helps.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If your friend sits behind you in class it would be smart to read the answers upside down so they don't have to read you the whole question. Instead they can just say "number 10" for the tenth question of the test for example.
- You could get into as much trouble as your friend.
- Cheating or helping someone cheat is a terrible idea for several reasons. It deprives you and your friend of the knowledge that education promises. It hurts the other students in the class who feel they must cheat to keep up. Ultimately, your odds of getting caught are very high. Don't do it.

If this story proves true, it'll be a major blow to our credibility in Iraq, and could serve to further undermine our mission both there and all over the Middle East.
In other words, credibility is vital and we don't seem to care or realize this.

A proposed admissions tax appears to have been crafted to not just finance a baseball stadium at Clark College, but to win over those who have yet to endorse the idea — including the swing vote on the Board of Clark County Commissioners.
Clark County released a copy of the proposed ordinance Friday.
A 5 percent tax would be levied on movie theaters, Sleep Country Amphitheater, the Clark County Fair, professional baseball games and public and private golf courses. Aside from the addition of golf courses, other significant changes have been made from the ordinance that fell flat this summer.
Notably, now some of the revenues would go toward the county's fair fund and the city of Vancouver, not just the stadium. And the tax has an expiration date: It would end in 25 years.
Clark County Commissioner Marc Boldt, who said earlier he had not been willing to bring the admissions tax to a public hearing unless the Clark County Fair would be protected, said the changes made a difference.
"This proposed ordinance seems to address both of my issues," Boldt said. "It keeps the fair whole, and that eases pressure on the county general fund. Also, patrons would see the admissions tax end after 25 years, so the sunset clause was important for the long term."
And for the members of the Vancouver City Council who have been opposed to the tax, there's a carrot worth $8.2 million.
That's how much money the city would be projected to receive over the life of the tax.
The tax, a key revenue source in a plan to build a $19.5 million stadium to bring the Yakima Bears to Vancouver, will be the subject of a public hearing.
The hearing will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 29 at the Clark County Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St.
The admissions tax is expected to generate $35.9 million over 25 years. Of that, $20 million would be earmarked for the stadium, with annual payments of $800,000.
Vancouver would get $8.2 million; the remainder would go to a stadium reserve fund (an estimated $2.5 million) and the fairgrounds (a projected $5.2 million.)
The Clark County Fair Board said it was "cautiously supportive" of the proposal because the fair would get back at least the admissions tax revenue that it generates. Fair ticket prices would not be raised because of the tax. Sharon Crouch, chairwoman of the fair board, said in a memo to commissioners that under the new proposal, the fair board would no longer seek an exemption from the tax.
'Broad support'
In May, the owners of the Class A Yakima Bears said they wanted to move the team to a new stadium at Clark College, but a proposed 70/30 public/private split was rejected.
Clark County Commissioner Steve Stuart, one of the biggest baseball backers among local officials, said reducing the cost of the stadium by $3.5 million helped make the project work.
Commissioner Tom Mielke has said he does not support the tax, so Stuart needs Boldt's vote before the tax plan can move forward.
If approved by commissioners, the tax would still be contingent on the Vancouver City Council's approval, and the Northwest League will have to approve the Bears' move.
A Nov. 4 letter to Northwest League President Bob Richmond describing the funding proposal was signed by 14 baseball backers, including Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt; former Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard; Stuart; Rhona Sen Hoss, chairwoman of the Clark College Trustees; Eric Fuller, chairman of the Columbia River Economic Development Council; and Scott Horenstein, president of the Identity Clark County board of directors.
"With the full faith and support of the undersigned, this letter clearly demonstrates a broad base of community and business support for this project," reads the letter.
The Bears would play 38 home games a year; Clark College teams would also use the 3,500-seat stadium.
Proponents refer to it as a multi-use stadium to stress that it could have other public uses.
"The basis of our multi-purpose project includes the use of Clark College land and parking, the passing of an admissions fee, and the rebate of a number of different taxes and participation from the team to complete the financing of the project," the letter reads. "Additionally, the Clark College Foundation will be participating in several different ways; thereby ensuring the success of the project."
According to a breakdown of $19.5 million in capital costs, the admissions tax would cover $11.8 million, the team would pay $4 million and the Clark College Foundation would pledge $3.5 million.
On Tuesday, Lisa Gibert, executive director of the foundation, said that up to $3.5 million in future donations would be invested in the stadium. In return, Short Season LLC, the owners of the Yakima Bears, would give the foundation a 3 percent return that would be used annually for athletic scholarships.
The breakdown of costs factored in a $225,000 sales tax construction rebate.
In response to the letter from baseball backers, Richmond wrote: "In regards to the 'previously submitted financing and development plan' which you refer to, it appears to have a great deal of potential. Please note, that any proposed lease agreement and financial commitments of a franchise desiring to relocate to the Vancouver area would have to be approved by the Directors of the League before such an agreement is finalized. Nothing in this regard has been presented to the Directors.
"As I stated to you earlier, the NWL is very interested in the Vancouver market as a site for one of our franchises. I am optimistic that a NWL franchise could be relocated to the Vancouver area, assuming that the lease and capital requirements for that franchise are acceptable to the League. Given the potential of this project, I would recommend your moving forward with the public financing component. Our league will discuss this in great detail at the winter meetings. There are numerous other details to be worked out, but this component is a most significant one," Richmond wrote.
If commissioners approve the tax, the Vancouver City Council will have to agree that, for the life of the stadium debt, it will pay a portion of the debt even if a future city council decides to enact a citywide admissions tax for some other purpose.
If everyone approves the project, construction would begin in 2012. The stadium would be east of Interstate 5 and west of Fort Vancouver Way, and the Bears, an affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, would debut in 2013.
Clark College (a state institution) and the team have not finalized the details of stadium ownership. They've discussed a 20-year lease to the team, after which the state would take ownership.
The team, however, lost its negotiating rights Sept. 23 after the league refused to grant an extension because the team had failed to show adequate support from Clark County. So co-owners Mike and Laura McMurray and K.L. Wombacher have not been participating in the latest round of talks.

American Exceptionalism, RIP; Obamacrats Have Stolen What Made America Unique
Byline: Monica Crowley , SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
After Sunday night's health care spectacle dressed up as a vote in the House of Representatives, the American people have been shackled by a new set of chains. The United States of America - once great, grand and free - is on the path to becoming just another country. We were once the beacon of liberty, a nation that didn't just represent individual freedom but celebrated and protected it. The improbable defeat of the British that led to our dazzling founding made us exceptional from the outset. Our Constitution was quickly recognized, admired and loathed as an exceptional document of freedom. We survived intact a brutal Civil War that would have destroyed another country. And then, during two world wars, we crushed tyrannical enemies that wanted to snuff out our special liberty. We emerged stronger and, in turn, strengthened our exceptional status.
We have been the shining city on a hill that achieved superpower pre-eminence in a very short period of time because we were unique: The American people had a fierce passion for liberty, and our political system - based on limited government and individual freedom - was great because it was good. It allowed us to thrive, prosper and set ourselves apart from every run-of-the-mill nation.
No longer.
What the Democrats did last weekend was not just pass a horrendously expensive, corrupt and destructive health care bill.
They took a big chunk out of our exceptionalism.
They are turning us rather quickly into France. Or Great Britain. Or any other Western European nation that was once great but no longer enjoys that status.
And that's the point. President Obama said last year that he believed in American exceptionalism, the way the British believe in British exceptionalism and the way the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism. Meaning: he doesn't believe in American exceptionalism. He believes we're an arrogant nation, which is why he has been obsessed with apologizing for America and bowing before foreign potentates. He believes that the United States, with its big guns and its big money, has thrown its weight around too much, been too aggressive, pushy and demanding and too insensitive to how our actions affected others. We need to atone for that, he believes, by being taken down a notch or two. He intends to do the takedown.
According to Mr. Obama, exceptionalism is so yesterday, an uncool, antiquated and ultimately destructive notion. Rather than be first among many, we should simply be one of many. Just another country on the United Nations' roll call. Nothing special. …

S. Africa Corn Exports May Pose Threat to Staple Food, BVG Says
South Africa, the continent's largest producer of corn, may run out of the yellow variety if exports of the grain rise further, pushing up the cost of white corn, one of the nation's staple foods, BVG (Pty) Ltd. said.
The nation shipped 79,055 metric tons of yellow corn in the week to June 28, including 54,112 tons to Japan and 23,043 tons to Taiwan, the Pretoria-based South African Information Service said in a statement on its website. The country has exported 377,367 tons of the grain since the start of the marketing year in May, according to Sagis. That compares with 18,333 tons in the same period a year earlier and 413,152 tons for the entire 2013 marketing year that ended in April.
"If we continue at this brisk pace, we will definitely have shortages of yellow corn," Brink van Wyk, a trader at BVG, said by phone from Pretoria. "What we have available this year for exports of yellow corn is 1 million tons."
South Africa uses yellow corn as animal feed, while meal made from the white variety is one of the country's dietary staples. The country will probably consume 4.54 million tons of yellow corn and could supply 5.74 million tons in the marketing year through April, the Grain and Oilseeds Supply and Demand Estimates Committee said in its first-ever report, released on June 28.
"We either need to export less, or we use more white corn for cattle feed, or we import more yellow corn," Van Wyk said.
Forecast Lowered
The Crop Estimates Committee cut its forecast for corn output by 0.6 percent to 11.38 million tons, it said in a June 25 report. South Africa produced 12.8 million tons in 2010, the biggest harvest since 1982.
Grain SA, the biggest representative of farmers in South Africa, says the nation has 620,000 tons of yellow corn, also known as maize, available for export.
"If the average weekly export tempo of the past eight weeks should be maintained, the remaining export maize of 321,688 tons should be exported within the next nine weeks," the organization said in an e-mailed newsletter yesterday. "This means that the yellow maize available for export should be completed by the end of August. South Africa can potentially experience a shortage in yellow maize for the biggest part of this marketing year."
Yellow corn for delivery in September, the most active contract, declined 0.4 percent to 2,176 rand ($220) a ton, the lowest since May 21, by the close on the South African Futures Exchange. The white variety fell 0.6 percent to 2,236 rand a ton.

I am going to look at the Rocky Mountian Sherpa since I am shopping for a new bike.
Since I only heard of it yesterday, does anyone have any feedback regarding this bike?
The specs seem good and it even has a spoke holder welded to the stay.
It is pricier than a 520 though which is another bike I have been looking at along with the Cannodale T800 and T200 which are now T1 and T2.
The Rocky Mountian gives the choice of Reynolds tubes or aluminum and disc brakes.

For what it's worth, here is the roster breakdown for Iowa State by class. It might give some insight into talent level and plans for the future:
Freshman: 34
RS Fresh: 10
Sophs: 6
RS Sophs 21
Jrs: 9
RS Jrs: 14
Seniors: 11
RS Senior: 6
It appears previous coach redshirted players who have seen little if any playing time in any capacity. One noted Junior who might get an extra season is Kennard Banks, IF, he wants or can get a medical redshirt. I don't see Chizik redshirting players unless he feels they will contribute in a substancial way. Just my opinion.
I think most coaches redshirt players that they don't think will contribute their freshman year. That extra year of conditioning and practice can go a long ways, especially for linemen. If most of your linemen didn't redshirt their first year then you are probably in trouble.
Seneca Wallace.
There should be reason for optimism for the future. After yesterday I am excited about ISU football again.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
This team is a joy for me to watch and I really like how the staff is positioning the classes for the future. Hopefully we get another solid class this year and keep the talent level on the rise.
curious if anyone knows how many of the latest class have been redshirted and will play as RS freshmen next year? and what positions?
All I expected to see this season was progress and I have seen more than I expected. I am genuinely excited about the future of Cyclone Football!
Putting it into perspective as to what ISU is losing after this season.
Noteable seniors this season
OL-Doug Dedrick
About the same number of guys currently making big contributions are juniors. If progression occurs with the young kids and Chiz can get a few more solid recruit classes then 2009,and 2010 could be a couple very strong teams.
I'm glad we have a lot of returners, but we still need a big improvement in talent. Chizik did so the first year of recruiting and I have no doubt he can do it again.
Great post, thanks for the breakdown. Where are the up and coming run stuffers? Fresh, Soph, Junior, Senior.. don't care... we need them if this coach is to take us to the 'next' level.

Agree completely...our defensive line really needs help..a really big guy in the middle, and some tigers for DE's. And our linebacking corps need help.

Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Runway Draped Knot Dress:
I wish I would have paid more attention to the other reviewer. Although I think the dress is lovely, it runs very large. Probably 3/4 of my closet is filled with BCBG size XXS clothing, all of which fit beautifully. Not only was this dress very large, but the opening at the side plunges down the entire side of the dress. I looked in vain for a hidden snap or hook and eye, but there wasn't one. I'm not sure how you could keep the side together. I gave the dress to my sister, who wears a size small, and although the top part of the dress fit, the bottom was too snug for her. She couldn't figure out how to close the side opening, even with a belt, as it was portrayed on the model.

- Larger than expected
Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Runway Draped Knot Dress:
1. Color-It looks like brown on the picture but it is more like dark green.
2. Fit-It doesn't fit well and the pattern was awful.
As it was stated as a final sale item, I couldn't do anything about it even though I am very dissatisfied. Total waste of money!

I woke up to a beautiful day in a cave
Watching colors wave i sat up
As the broadcast day began
I'm in love before the phone starts ringing it's you
Here's another clue i'll be gone
Before the daylight saving is through
Let's go home
There's a boy with a knife at the door
And he's leaving if he gets too bored
He's been waiting on us since dawn
(Is this what he said?)
Later on there's an old man blocking the door
With his head and his neck on the floor
And he won't wake up 'till dawn
(Is that what he said?)
I wanna talk shit when we get outside
I wanna play tough when you're terrified
I wanna have fun like we used to did
I wanna rule out the alternative
Going going going
Feet don't fail me
Going going going
Feet don't make me
Going going going
Please don't let me leave again
Eventually I'll be in California physically
And maybe I can love you complete

Subsequent run-ins would leave no doubt as to the giant squid's reality. In November 1861, the French warship Alecton was sailing in the vicinity of the Canary Islands in the eastern Atlantic when the crew came upon a dying giant squid floating at the surface. Eager to acquire the strange animal, but nervous about what it might do if they came too close, the sailors repeatedly fired at the squid until they were sure it was dead. They then tried to haul it aboard, unintentionally separating the tentacled head from the rubbery tail sheath. They wound up with only the back half of the squid, but it was still large enough to know that this animal was far larger than the familiar little Loligo. The ensuing report to the French Academy of Sciences showed that the poulpe could grow to enormous size.
Encounters in North American waters added to the body of evidence. A dead giant squid was discovered off the Grand Banks by sailors aboard the B.D. Haskins in 1871, and another squid washed up in Fortune Bay, Newfoundland.
The naturalist Henry Lee suggested in his 1883 book Sea Monsters Unmasked that many sea monsters —including the one seen by the crew of the Daedalus—were actually giant squid. (Accounts of M'Quhae's monster are consistent with a giant squid floating at the surface with its eyes and tentacles obscured underneath the water.) The numerous misidentifications were simply attributable to the fact that no one actually knew such creatures existed!
Instead of being tamed through scientific description, though, the giant squid seemed more formidable than ever. It was cast as the villain in Jules Verne's 1869 novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and in 1873 news spread of a giant squid that had allegedly attacked fishermen in Conception Bay, Newfoundland. The details are a little murky due to some creative retelling over the years, but the basic story is that two or three fishermen came upon an unidentified mass in the water. When they tried to gaff it, they discovered that the thing was a giant squid—which then tried to sink their boat. Some quick hatchet work sent the monster jetting away in a cloud of dark ink, and the proof of their encounter was a 19-foot-long tentacle. The fishermen gave it to the Rev. Moses Harvey, who was given the body of another giant squid by a different group of Newfoundland fishermen soon afterward. He photographed the latter specimen before sending it on to naturalists in New Haven, Connecticut, for study. The fame and reputation of the "devil fish" was at its acme—so much so that the showman P.T. Barnum wrote to Harvey requesting a pair of giant squid of his own. His order was never filled.
The giant squid was transformed into a real monster, and one whose unknown nature continues to frighten us. Not long after giving sharks a bad rap with Jaws, Peter Benchley made a particularly voracious giant squid the villain of his 1991 novel Beast. The second Pirates of the Caribbean film in 2006 transformed the squid into the gargantuan, ship-crunching kraken.
The enormous cephalopod still seems mysterious. Architeuthis inhabit the dark recesses of the ocean, and scientists are not even sure how many species are in the giant squid genus. Most of what we know comes from the unfortunate squid that have been stranded at the surface or hauled up in fishing nets, or from collections of beaks found in the stomachs of their primary predator, the sperm whale.
Slowly, though, squid experts are piecing together the natural history of Architeuthis. The long-lived apex predators prey mainly on deep-sea fish. Like other ocean hunters, they accumulate high concentrations of toxins in their tissues, especially those squid that live in more polluted areas. Marine biologists say that giant squid therefore can act as an indicator of deep-sea pollution. Giant squid strandings off Newfoundland are tied to sharp rises in temperature in the deep sea, so giant squid may similarly act as indicators of how human-driven climate change is altering ocean environments. There are two giant squid, measuring 36- and 20-feet long, on display in the National Museum of Natural History's Sant Ocean Hall. As NMNH squid expert Clyde Roper points out, they are "the largest invertebrate ever to have lived on the face of the earth."
In 2005, marine biologists Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori presented the first underwater photographs of a live giant squid in its natural habitat. For a time it was thought that squid might catch their prey through trickery—by hovering in the water column with tentacles extended until some unwary fish or smaller squid stumbled into their trap. But the images show the large squid aggressively attacking a baited line. The idea that Architeuthis is a laid-back, deep-sea drifter began to give way to an image of a quick and agile predator. The first video footage came in December of the following year, when scientists from the National Science Museum of Japan recorded a live giant squid that had been hauled up to the surface next to the boat. Video footage of giant squid in their natural, deep-sea environment is still being sought, but the photos and video already obtained give tantalizing glimpses of an enigmatic animal that has inspired myths and legends for centuries. The squid are not man-eating ship sinkers, but capable predators in an utterly alien world devoid of sunlight. No new images have surfaced since 2006, which seems typical of this mysterious cephalopod. Just when we catch a brief glimpse, the giant squid retreats back into the dark recesses of its home, keeping its mysteries well guarded.

She'd dig..and dig...and my dumbass would watch her..thinking it was cute she was trying to get to them.

I knew we'd only be gone for a few hrs... She'd been inside all day and I wanted he to have some fresh air. We'd been gone for about 90 min when the call came that Izzy was down at their house..not to worry..we could pick her up whenever. Last night...I let her outside to chill and poop while I was cleaning the kitchen..you know, doing my woman duties and stuff...I was peaking out at her every few minutes....well..low and behold..she Shawhanked out again!! Reopening the hole she dug last week!!! Ok..I can't have this...I can't reprimand her either when I don't catch her!! How do I stop this??? What do I do??

Termite infestations are normally difficult to detect, exterminate and may cause lot of damage to houses especially ones that are made of wood. Just like many other problems and diseases, the best method to combat termites is to prevent them from infecting the house in the first place. House structural termite damage left unchecked can mean thousands of dollars in repairs. Unfortunately, most homeowner insurance coverage does not include termite damage repair.
Although termites are sometimes referred to as a white ant, they are more closely related to cockroaches and the praying mantis. Their primary food source is wood. In order to know how to prevent a termite infestation, it is good to know about the way termites operate and live. The types of termites found in the US are usually subterranean termites. There are also other kinds of termites such as drywood termites but those other types are not as common and do not cause as much damage as subterranean termites.
Subterranean termites, as indicated by their name live underground in nests. These nests are usually situated five to six feet under the ground though sometimes they also nest above ground as well. The individual worker termites, about one eight of an inch long in length, travel or tunnel hundreds of feet in search of food usually on the surface of the soil to carry back to the nest. Some of their favorite foods include wood, paper and other substances, used by humans in building construction and in variety of household items. Damage caused by the termites by eating into these substances may take a long time to appear as they only consume tiny amounts of food. But through the gradual accumulation of damages, it can be quite substantial. Wood for instance will gradually hollow out even though no external sign is detected. Damage can be extensive if the nest is situated inside the house.
Termites require lots of water to survive and one of the methods of detecting them is through the observation of tiny mud tubes on the soil that transfer water to their nests. Other sign of detection is when the swarming occurs. In spring or summer thousands of winged termites will emerge and try to fly way to establish new nests. This will only last few hours and most of them will die and will not do any physical harm.
If you suspect that a termite infestation of your house is a possibility, the best method of prevention is to create an impassable barrier between the nest and your house for worker termites. This is usually done by chemically treating the soil around and below the house. Two broad types of liquid chemicals known as termiticides can be used for this purpose. Repellents prevent the foraging termites from entering the treated soil, while non repellent chemicals kill the termites entering the treated soil. Once the barrier is established the foragers will not be able access food in the house and if a few of them have already reached the house before the treatment, they will not be able to return and will die.
However in order to be effective, the preventive treatment method has to be comprehensive and cover all the soil in contact with the house. The house owner aiming for an effective prevention should not stop at spot treating a patch of soil that may show signs of termites. Foraging termites will find ways around the treated spots easily.
Another factor to keep in mind is that most chemicals used today are effective only for up to about three to seven years. Older chemicals known to be effective in preventing termites up to twenty years were banned to protect the ground water from contamination. While chemically treating soil comprehensively every few years can be expensive, it will also be an effective preventive method and will save money on the long run by safeguarding the investment in the house.
These preventive treatments are best carried out by professionals. They will not only be able to advice and carry out the treatment more competently and use the required specialized equipment and experience but will also carry out periodic inspections. Most such professional termite control firms will also give a guarantee as well.

I have to admit it did straighten my hair, however even with the use of hair protectant, this straightener completely fried my hair. I hated the fact that you couldn't change the temperature settings meaning my hair was constantly being damaged by its extreme heat. Also, the straightener keeps on tripping on and off because something is wrong with the wiring. I seriously would not recommend this considering what I payed for it and what it delivered.
Written on: 12/08/2014
Mine works great. I love it! Very easy to use and the hair is also beautiful after straightening.
I got it from magicqueen.
You may also could have a try!

Normally have a group start from my house and it can involve up to 10 riders. Mostly fit but at varying degrees but we all enjoy riding. Tomorrow and I reckoned on 6 going so when my neighbour Nathan asked what time we were going I thought we should be able to find some one that can stay with him., Now Nathan is an oddball. 35ish and ULTRA-FIT. He is the one that wakes me up at 6 am in the mornings as he leaves in his car for his 2 hour session down at the gym. Winter and he can't ride with us as Saturday he plays Rugby for one of the top county teams and Sundays it is soccer. But Winter season over with so he wants to get out on the bike.
So reminded my Son-in-Law that it would be 9 am start and he can't come. My other neighbour Mick can though but can we take it easy as he found a new hill today and did it twice to get in 1 1/2 miles at 20% and his back hurts. The two mountain bikers are not coming as they are off road tomorrow and the few others from Eastbourne that we normally meet with were at a wedding today and won't be fit enough till the afternoon. So 3 of us and Mick wants an easy ride. Planned one to get in about 30 hilly miles and then come back across the marshes.
Then the bombshell-Mick has pulled a muscle in his back and doubts that he will be riding. So it is me and a rider that doesn't know the meaning of slow- or even medium pace. He will be at full bore for whole of the ride and he has already said that when we get to the cafe- he will not be stopping as he wants to get back to get down the gym by 1 pm for a volley ball match.
Any suggestions on how I can get out of this?

Hello all. Just getting back into cycling after too many years. I've been borrowing my daughters bicycle but finally sprung for my own this past week. I'll spend most of my time on the bicycle trail here in town.
I used to ride 100+ miles per week but don't expect to go back to that level. I'm aiming for 30 weekly for the first several weeks and will build from there.
Equipment has improved greatly since my old Schwinn Varsity days. I'm riding with Shimano Deore components and disc brakes (one of the advantages of age is a fatter wallet too.)

TORONTO (AP) — The Royal Bank of Canada is taking an even stronger position in golf as the title sponsor of the popular PGA Tour event at Hilton Head.
The company announced Thursday it signed a five-year sponsorship for what now will be called the RBC Heritage.
RBC joins AT&T as the only companies to be title sponsor of two PGA Tour events. RBC also sponsors the Canadian Open, along with having endorsement deals with players like Matt Kuchar, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim and Mike Weir.
Hilton Head, typically played a week after the Masters in April, was without a title sponsor last year. Tournament officials were concerned whether they could go on without corporate support.
Brandt Snedeker won the tournament this year in a playoff over Luke Donald.

Additional Information
About Negros Women for Tomorrow FoundationNegros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. (NWTF) is a non-governmental organization established with an aim to help men and women achieve self-sufficiency, particularly in the province of Negros Occidental's low-income communities. The organization offers its clients a wide variety of products, including loans for micro-entrepreneurs, hospital income benefits, life insurance, accidental death benefits and more. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the reach of these products to low-income urban and rural communities.
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

If you hit up a search engine and do a query on a Summer Rae sex tape, then you are going to see quite a bit of results. However, if you're hoping that it is the WWE diva, then you are going to be in for a major disappointment. There is a porn star who shares the same name. So, in order to capitalize on professional wrestling fans, they tweaked up their page to make it seem like it is the sexy blonde star of Total Divas.
