We already have what we needóthe opportunity to weave the tapestry of happiness every day with the needle and thread of our own mind.
As a child, I was struck by the story of the prince and the pauper. The Tibetan version of this story has it that the prince and the pauper are the same person. Through a series of mishaps, the prince grows up as a pauper, only later to discover that he is a child of the royal family and the future ruler of his kingdom. He was always a prince; he was never a pauper; the only thing that changed was his view. We are in a similar situation. We are all of royal birth.
In the legend of Shambhala, there is a family of beings called the Rigdens, who have never strayed from basic goodness, a pure radiance that has never been stained by ignorance, anger, jealousy, or pride. The Rigdens are not some celestial entities; they represent the ultimate ruler within us all. Tibetan paintings of the kingdom of Shambhala show the Rigdens conquering the negativity of the dark age. They are often depicted sitting on thrones of diamonds, indicating unshakable possession of the awareness of basic goodness, our primordial nature, which is also known as the Great Eastern Sun.
The Rigden king manifests wrathfully, but his armor is always gold, an expression of compassion. His sword represents the incisive wisdom that sees basic goodness. There are pennants on his helmet, which symbolize the courage it takes to bring windhorseólong life, good health, success, and happinessóto others. After the victory of the Rigdens, the story goes, the age of enlightenment arises. The Great Eastern Sun appears on the horizon.
Whether we take this story as literal or metaphorical, the meaning is the same. We all have the potential to be enlightened rulers. The Buddha is an example of a human being who developed this potential. By sitting still and working with his mind, he uncovered essential truths and developed techniques to help the rest of us discover our ability to rule. Since I'm a Buddhist, he is my role model, but obviously basic goodness is not confined to any one tradition. It is the essence of everyone and everything.
We all belong to the family of the Rigdens. Basic goodness, the shimmering brilliance of our being, is as clear as a mountain lake. But we're not certain about our own goodness. We begin to stray from it as soon as we wake up in the morning, because our mind is unstable and bewildered. Our thoughts drag us around by a ring in our nose, as if we were cows in the Indian market. This is how we lose control of our lives. We don't understand that the origin of happiness is right here in our mind. We might experience happiness at times, but we're not sure how we got it, how to get it again, or how long it's going to last when it comes. We live life in an anxious, haphazard state, always looking for happiness to arrive.
When we are confused about the source of happiness, we start to blame the world for our dissatisfaction, expecting it to make us happy. Then we act in ways that bring more confusion and chaos into our life. When our mind is busy and discursive, thinking uncontrollably, we are engaging in a bad habit. We are stirring up the mud of jealousy, anger, and pride. Then the mind has no choice but to become familiar with the language of negativity and develop it further.
When desire or anger takes our mind and says, ìYou're coming with me,î we become paupers. The pauper wakes up each morning with the thought ìWhat about me? Will I get what I want today?î This meditation resonates through our day like a heartbeat. We think, ìWill this food make me happy?î ìWill this movie make me happy?î ìWill this person make me happy?î ìWill this new sweater make me happy?î ìWhat about me?î becomes the motivating force of our activity.
Occasionally when I meet with meditation students, their questions show that they are approaching even spiritual practice as a way to make themselves happy. Is my yoga, my tai chi, my meditation making ìmeî feel better? They are simply using a new guise to perpetuate the old habit of putting themselves first.
This self-infatuated approach is like using unclean fuel. When our motivation is to make ìmeî happy, the engines of our life run rough. Our self-obsession makes us stressed and ill. The magnet of ìWhat about me?î draws away windhorseóour ability to bring about successóand our mind becomes very small. We lose touch with earthóour potential to give our life meaningóso thereís no place for true happiness to land.
In Tibet, trying to achieve happiness without understanding the cause of happiness is called lotok, ìbackward.î It's like looking through the wrong end of the binocularsóhappiness doesn't get bigger and closer, it gets smaller and farther away. What makes the mind of ìmeî so small is confused emotion, in Sanskrit, kleshaóanger, desire, ignorance, and pride. These are obscurations that block our view of basic goodness. They are all very familiar and friendly to us. For many of us, they are simply the tools by which we engage in life. We may think that they're the only tools we haveóthat pushing hard and clinging tight is the secret to success. This confusion doesn't always show up as a temper tantrum. It also manifests as insidious discursivenessógoing over things again and again in our mind, or jumping from one thought to another with ìWhat about me?î playing in the background.
Being fooled into trying to make things work out for ìmeî is called samsara. This is a Sanskrit word that describes an endless dark age in which we are completely distracted by the agitation that comes from trying to make ìmeî happy. Our mind is constantly volleying between irritation and desire, jealousy and pride. We are unhappy with who we are, and we are trying to destroy our own suffering, which reflects our basic discontent. As we indulge in this negativity, our mind becomes thick with contamination. This contamination manifests as stress--lack of peace. It is fueled by fear--fear of not knowing what will happen to ìme.î With the ambition to get what we want and to avoid what we don't, our mind becomes very speedy. We act in ways that hurt others and ourselves. Bewilderment rules our days and nights. We keep imagining that a love affair, a new job, a thinner body, or a vacation is going to lead to happiness. When we get what we want, we feel good, and we become attached. Then the situation changes, and we feel angry. Or somebody elseís relationship, job, or body looks better than ours, and we feel jealous.
When weíre fooled by the world of appearances, we arenít seeing beyond the surface. Our changing mind keeps us trapped in suffering, the nitpicky details. We lose our desire for deepening and begin to consider the smallest, most irrelevant things important. Weíd rather hear a piece of gossip about a celebrity weíll never meet than contemplate the truth. We are more interested in listening to a new song on the radio than in hearing instruction about how to bring meaning to our life. If somebody tries to give us advice, we lash out. Slowing down and relating to life through a discipline like meditation seems like a frivolous luxury.
With this smallñmindedness, we have little inspiration to improve our situation in a lasting way, because we don't trust what we can't seeólike wisdom and compassion. We have no relationship with the unchanging ground of basic goodness. We want to keep our options open. We think that freedom to keep changing our mind will bring happiness. In fact, the mind that is always changing can only lead to pain.
When we're on the ìmeî plan, what others say about us has great power. A friend tells us we look goodóour mind soars. A colleague tells us we're not pulling our weight at workó-our mind sinks. We are like children, one minute laughing and the next minute crying. In reality, praise and criticism are like echoesóthey have no substance, no duration. But when we chase our projections like a dog going after a stick, even words have the power to destabilize our mind. We think about what somebody said, over and over. We let it ruin our day.
When we're fooled by the view of ìme,î our attitude toward wealth is that it's all out thereóand we want some. Weíre like monkeys grabbing at shiny objects. We accumulate so many things that we have no room to appreciate them. Our wanting creates the habit of perpetual hunger and mindless activity. We look at people with the attitude of taking, not of giving. Weíll help someone whoís becoming powerful and wealthyósomebody whoís on the way up. If somebodyís slipping, we start to pull away. We donít think twice about fighting with our family or community. We believe that the only way to improve our situation is to keep trying to get a little more for ourselves. Weíre confused, because we don't understand that we already have what we needóthe opportunity to weave the tapestry of happiness every day with the needle and thread of our own mind.
Sometimes we think that power will make us happy. We canít rule our mind, so we try to saddle others with the heavy yoke of our aggression. Far from accomplishing the benefit of others, we canít bear it when something nice happens to them. The word for jealousy in Tibetan means ìcrowded shoulders.î There's room for only one head on our shoulders. We can handle only one person getting things, and thatís us. We take some kind of odd thrill in getting mad when the train is late or the power goes out. Weíre so engrossed in ìmeî that we forget that others are also suffering.
Our superficial approach extends even to virtue. We may be kind to people in public, but behind their backs, we say snide things. Weíre generous when we think weíll get something in return. We may be patient about getting what we want, but when life presents us with something that we donít want, like illness, we have no patience. We exert ourselves at work, but when weíre alone, we think we can do whatever we likeónobody is watching.
In fact, it is ourselves who should be most concerned about how we act, because we are most affected by our actions. Once when the golfer Bobby Jones was playing in a big tournament, he inadvertently moved his ball a few inches in the rough. He penalized himself, based on what had happened. When someone pointed out to him that no one else had seen the ball move, he said, ìI saw it move, and thatís all that matters.î When I was going into one of my first meditation retreats, I asked my father, Chˆgyam Trungpa Rinpoche, for some advice. He said, ìHow you act when you're alone affects the rest of your life.î Even in solitude, the ruler engages in virtue.
Virtue is practical, not moralistic. It consists of cultivating thoughts, words, and actions that will help move us out of the ìmeî plan. As we change our habitsówhat we do and don't doówe are changing from the outside in. At the same time, whatís on the inside begins to come out. We have more space in our mind, and our view gets bigger. We begin to see our inherent richness, the brilliance thatís been hiding behind the clouds of stress and anxiety. The nature of our mind is pure, like the sky. Like space, it has a quality of accommodation. Like water, it is clear, with no obstructions or opinions. This is basic goodness, the indestructible nature of our being.
The mind of the pauper is small because it is rooted in attachmentóa death grip on life. Fixating on how we want the world to be and trying to make it stay goes against the natural grain. That tightness and the sense of claustrophobia it creates is ìme.î Our negativity gives us something to hold on to. We think that if we hold on tight enough, we can manipulate the world to make ìmeî happy. Weíve tried being angry and desirous hundreds of times. Has anger ever brought genuine happiness? Has desire ever resulted in long-lasting satisfaction?
Who is it that we are protecting with our anger? Who are we trying to get more for with jealousy and desire? The reason that we can't make ìmeî happy is that there is really no one behind that door. ìMeî is just an idea, a concept, a myth. Essentially, it is attachment to a mirage. We're clinging to a fabrication and generating negative emotions in an attempt to protect it.
The king and queen know that happiness doesn't come from out there; it comes from in here. Getting off the ìmeî plan is the cause of happiness, and learning to see how ìmeî works is where it starts. It begins with the practice of meditationójust ten minutes or so every day. By stabilizing the mind we learn to connect with space beyond ìmeîóheaven. Heaven is the natural spaciousness of our mind before we make it small with self-protection. Once our mind becomes more peaceful, we begin to see how ìmeî is just thoughts, feelings, and emotions made solid.
In meditation practice, we learn to acknowledge and recognize our thoughts without acting on them. Weíre no longer quite so fooled by appearances. Our mind becomes more flexible, because we begin to see our own projections. We begin to figure out the currency of life: it is all a display of the mind. No longer do we run after the stick of every outside appearance, like a dog. Rather, like a lion, we begin to look at who is throwing the stickóour mind.
Then we hear, contemplate, and meditate on how the mind works and how the world works. This is how we develop certainty in basic goodness. We realize that we are always hearing, contemplating, and meditating, but on a chaotic flurry of thoughts and emotions. Hearing that our friends are splitting up, we contemplate who did what to whom, developing certainty in blame. Hearing that somebody made a lot of money, we develop certainty in jealousy. Our hearing, contemplating, and meditating are haphazard, and the conclusions that we draw often lead us down the road of negativity.
This shortsighted attitude stifles our inherent energy. That natural energy is compassionóin Tibetan, nyingje, ìnoble heart.î In Tibetan paintings, buddhas are often depicted sitting on lotuses, which represent our innate yearning for the happiness of others. This selfñarising flower is the core of our being. We need to create space in our mind in order to nurture it. The obsession with ìmeî suffocates it; the flower can't blossom. When we consider others, we allow the flower to bloom. Thinking of others makes our mind bigger, because it brings us joy.

I didn't hate this book but I didn't love it either. Maybe if I had been studying it rather than just reading I would have gotten more out of it. I do like Hemingway as a writer he has the skill of packing a lot in to very few lines.
This book report is by Ernest Hemingway called, "The Old Man And The Sea." This story mainly takes place far out in the Gulf Stream. At the beginning of the story, the old man is coming back from another unsuccessful fishing day. When he gets to shore, the kid the old man trained asked if he needed any help but the old man didn't want any. The old man didn't want help from the kid because he could do it himself. The old man continues fishing because he is determined to turn his luck around. He continues to have bad luck and gets no fish. His pupil needs to leave him because the kids parents don't believe in the old man. His pupil still believes in him but he must leave because his parents told him to. The next day, the old man goes out to the sea for three days because he doesn't want come back empty handed. The village sends out the Coast Guard because they are scared the old man is lost at sea. The old man finally catches a huge marlin. On the way back to shore, the man finds out the sharks ate all the meat. The pupil takes care of the old man as he rests. The pupil has become a successful fisherman. The pupil tells the old man that they can fish together.
I rated this book four stars because I like nautical stories. I thought this story was very depressing. It is an American classic and it has some redemption qualities at the end. I also liked this story because it was easy to read unlike "Moby Dick". I would recommend this book to people who like nautical themes. It is a easy read and a classic tale of a mans struggles and redemption. I liked how Ernest Hemingway wrote this story.
Great story, simple style, a good sign for me is when I cry...
This is most definitely near the top of my list of worst books every written. As noted in my previous review on the Alex Rider series, I am a person who values action or suspense in their novels. This book was absolutely uninteresting and insipid. I'm not sure what the reason was as to why I picked up this book, seeing how even the title itself is dull. This book gives the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" a bad name as the book is exactly like the cover; plain and boring. This may be a classic novel written by a classic author, but I do not see the appeal to this book what so ever. I do not recommend this book to anyone as reading it simple wasted my time.
Short and good.
The Old Man and the Sea has almost none of the old Hemingway truculence, the hard-guy sentimentality that sometimes gives even his most devoted admirers twinges of discomfort. As a story, it is clean and straight. Those who admire craftsmanship will be right in calling it a masterpiece... it is a poem of action, praising a brave man, a magnificent fish and the sea, with perhaps a new underlying reverence for the Creator of such wonders.
It is a tale superbly told and in the telling Ernest Hemingway uses all the craft his hard, disciplined trying over so many years has given him.
Within the sharp restrictions imposed by the very nature of his story Mr. Hemingway has written with sure skill. Here is the master technician once more at the top of his form, doing superbly what he can do better than anyone else.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0684801221, Paperback)Here, for a change, is a fish tale that actually does honor to the author. In fact The Old Man and the Sea revived Ernest Hemingway's career, which was foundering under the weight of such postwar stinkers as Across the River and into the Trees. It also led directly to his receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1954 (an award Hemingway gladly accepted, despite his earlier observation that "no son of a bitch that ever won the Nobel Prize ever wrote anything worth reading afterwards"). A half century later, it's still easy to see why. This tale of an aged Cuban fisherman going head-to-head (or hand-to-fin) with a magnificent marlin encapsulates Hemingway's favorite motifs of physical and moral challenge. Yet Santiago is too old and infirm to partake of the gun-toting machismo that disfigured much of the author's later work: "The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords." Hemingway's style, too, reverts to those superb snapshots of perception that won him his initial fame:
Just before it was dark, as they passed a great island of Sargasso weed that heaved and swung in the light sea as though the ocean were making love with something under a yellow blanket, his small line was taken by a dolphin. He saw it first when it jumped in the air, true gold in the last of the sun and bending and flapping wildly in the air.If a younger Hemingway had written this novella, Santiago most likely would have towed the enormous fish back to port and posed for a triumphal photograph--just as the author delighted in doing, circa 1935. Instead his prize gets devoured by a school of sharks. Returning with little more than a skeleton, he takes to his bed and, in the very last line, cements his identification with his creator: "The old man was dreaming about the lions." Perhaps there's some allegory of art and experience floating around in there somewhere--but The Old Man and the Sea was, in any case, the last great catch of Hemingway's career. --James Marcus
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:02 -0400)
Hemingway's triumphant yet tragic story of an old Cuban fisherman and his relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream combines the simplicity of a fable, the significance of a parable, and the drama of an epic.

While attending a recent Microsoft Kinect event in Australia, Atomic MPC editor David Hollingworth was offended when Microsoft regional manager David McLean cracked wise at the expense of gamers to a crowd packed with fashion and lifestyle magazine journalists.
Here's an account of the offending comments, according to Atomic MPC:
"Gaming's not just for sweaty thirty year olds in Metallica t-shirts," quipped Microsoft's regional entertainment tzar at yesterday's lifestyle event, David McLean. The audience of fashion editors and lifestyle doyens yukked it up appreciatively, but we couldn't believe our ears. That's it? That's what you're reducing a huge percentage of your audience to now – a one-liner gag to make the cheap-seats feel it's okay to waddle about in front of their television sets?
And it didn't end there – the presentation featured constant allusions to basement dwelling nerds and impenetrable control schemes. Which is fine if Microsoft's courting vacuous fashionistas now, but does the company have to do it at our expense?
I'm not sure if it is funnier that someone at Microsoft allegedly said this stuff or that someone took offense to what was a series of one-liners about core gamers to a bunch of "beautiful people" who know as much about video games as Paris Hilton knows about the geography of Australia. Microsoft knows that core gamers don't think that much of Kinect to begin with – other than that it is kind of neat if you are too lazy to navigate those Xbox Live menus using a controller.
On the other hand, Microsoft might want to take note of who will be there to pick up the pieces should this little casual experiment of theirs fail: those same sweaty 30-somethings rocking those Metallica t-shirts. For the record, I like Metallica t-shirts, I don't mind being sweaty, and my last sports injury was while playing Wii Fit.

"MONTEVIDEO – 'I SEE A MOUNTAIN?'" Top 5 Page for this destination Montevideo by mtncorg
Montevideo Travel Guide: 556 reviews and 1,177 photos
Created as a Spanish riposte to the Portugese port of Colonia in 1726. Montevideo features a natural port – a feature BsAs lacks. Likes its transfluvial partner across the Rio de la Plata, Montevideo does sprawl into the hinterlands, though also like in BsAs, the tourist will stick to sites close to the older heart of the City.
The history of Montevideo was one of conflict for much of the period from ints inception through the mid 19th century before Brazil and Argentina finally decided to let Uruguay stand as a buffer between them. There are a lot of similarities shared between BsAs and Montevideo – architecture, history, Buquebus – but Montevideo has a more sense of calmness about it, especially on a Sunday ;-\ , plus a series of beaches that serve as the city's playground.
My visit to Montevideo was made very easy and memorable thanks to tour guide ministrations of VT extraordinaire, Andal13. Thanks again, Andrea for showing me your great City!!
- Pros:a great mix of history, culture and life!

Thanks for the VT postcard. Going to Uruguay in March.
i'm going to brazil in 2 weeks time, so it's nice to get a little taste of south america on your page. by the way, do you know why andal13 is not online anymore?
Interesting stuff and a happy new year!
crazy!!! such a city im mad for get there!!!! thanks!!
lovely city, so enjoyed your 'walking tour'! Will have to see it for myself now...Wendy
I could probably picture you on a fold out chair on La Rambla, Mark, but something tells me Little Girl would be itching to head on down to Patagonia. Interesting place - where a buquebus is really a boat and a train station has no trains...
Palacio Salvo my favourite buiding???? I'll kill you, Mark!!! (LOL) Thank you so much for your kind comments on my city and its wonderful hostess (Oops! That's me!)
Montevideo looks quite enchanting. I was particularly impressed by your pictures of the architecture.
Looks like a very nice city! This dog in the shape makes me think of summer which is still several months away for us in the north, booohhh... Excellent tips as usual.
sniff....I envy you, whatta Hostess and I envy the Dog...we will never get such days, not this summer...sniff. superb shot! and tks for a wonderful page with lotta good tips.

moves a memory enhancement model into the heart of the community
BrainBoost-to-go! is the 2012 Mind-Alert Award winner in the category for programs designed to enhance mental fitness for early-stage cognitiveIy impaired older adults. The ASA-MetLife Foundation MindAlert Award program recognizes innovative mental fitness programs developed by nonprofit organizations.
Program director Roberta Tracy won't take credit for the content of Bay Area Community Services (BACS) BrainBoost programs (the curriculum isn't original to BACS), but she did envision the benefits of taking such a program out of one senior center directly to those in need.
BrainBoost began through a grant from the Brookdale Foundation at the North Berkeley Senior Center. It's a program for people with early memory loss, in which 12 to 14 elders get together to support each other, learn memory strategies, take brain-teasing quizzes and work out to improve fitness.
Coming as this particular group has from a highly educated, high socioeconomic background, Tracy says she enjoys watching them "just go at each other," as fits their fiercely competitive natures. They need continuing challenges, so the program is ever evolving to meet their needs.
There's no formal assessment to get into BrainBoost, although staff may give a quick written quiz and recall exercise to ascertain where potential students fall in the memory loss spectrum. Then they can try a class for free before committing to attend the $30 sessions.
Typical classes involve writing a poem or using 10 words in a story, learning about 10 beneficial actions to take for brain health, playing a music trivia game, learning a new song, discussing a facet of music, physical fitness and a group quiz exercise between two halves of the class-a tool that encourages competition, which Tracy says is great for aging brains. The core North Berkeley program is four hours long.
Getting It to Go
"It seemed to me, as a person who's been in senior services longer than I care to admit, that we needed different versions of BrainBoost-something with more general knowledge," says Tracy about the genesis of her "to-go!" version. While pondering this, she happened upon Lloyd Wagner, a BACs adult daycare program aide with a master's in counseling psychology and organizational development, plus a doctorate in somatic psychology.
Realizing she had stumbled on a gem, Tracy enlisted Wagner to help her fill a request for a BrainBoost program at the West Oakland Senior Center. …

Update on GagikGagik once liked the deal with Kiva lenders and for the second time he wants to take a loan. He lives in the village Getahovit which is in the Tavush region. His two sons are already grown up and the elder is fulfilling his military service with the army. As Gagik used to, he is still doing cargo transfers; he has a truck that he uses to carry cargo for individual and contract orders, but farming and agriculture still brings the main part of income for his family. In his nice farm he has six cows, two calves, five piglets, twenty chickens and large nice orchard. Gagik sells very tasty cheese made of his own, milk, meat and different dairy products and also fruits from his garden. All these are results of Gagik's and his wife's devoted work with great hope, this time to have more profit than the previous time.
For his second loan Gagik asks a loan of 1.100.000 Armenian drams in order to buy a cow, two bulls, several piglets and a lot of animal fodder.
Previous Loan DetailsGagik was born in 1972 in Getahovit village in the Tavush area. After serving in the Armenian Army, Gagik married, and he now he has two school-aged sons.

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.

Additional Information
About EDAPROSPOEDAPROSPO seeks to use micro-credit to foster productive commercial activity for the sake of economic and social development within vulnerable urban and rural sectors traditionally neglected by commercial banks. By offering innovative products such as technical education loans and microfinance groups for young people, EDAPROSPO helps disadvantaged Peruvians lift themselves out of poverty.
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.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Spent one night. Site was pretty level. Staff were friendly. Park was clean. Mostly seasonal a but separate area for short term. We camped in the open field to the west of the railroad tracks. - Hartleyfam
Jul 2014 - $50.00
This is a very spacious park with two different sides. One side is on the hill, very wooded, dirt roads but nice shade. There are a few RVs deeply entrenched here...must be full timers. On the other side, there are large slots in a fairly flat field with little shade. A train actually cuts through the campground but with few trains and just one in the night. The staff is friendly and there is a nice pool. The bathroom and showers and laundry need an updating but they are clean. The campground is well located to visit Corning and Watkins Glen. - Solem8s

Documents reviewed by the Michigan Daily show that former Wolverine placekicker Brendan Gibbons was expelled from the school in December for violating the university's Student Sexual Misconduct Policy.
Per the Daily, Gibbons received a letter from the school's Office of Student conflict Resolution dated Dec. 19, 2013, at his Florida home that read:" You will be permanently separated from the University of Michigan effective December 20, 2013." Gibbons was a graduate student in Michigan's School of Social Work.
Michigan officials declined to comment.
The fifth-year senior had appeared in 11 games in 2013 for Michigan but did not play in either the team's season finale against Ohio State or its Dec. 28 bowl game against Kansas State. Coach Brady Hoke said before the loss to the Wildcats that Gibbons would miss the game due to a "family issue."
The documents reviewed by the Daily date the alleged violation to Nov. 22, 2009. That was the date of an early morning arrest of an unnamed Michigan football player by Ann Arbor police after a complaint of sexual assault. The player was released and no charges were filed as a result of the incident.
Gibbons was a freshman with the Wolverines in 2009.
The Daily writes that "it's unclear why sanctions were not decided in this matter until recently."

Line-Up Crime Detective offers up a nice slate of true crime stories in this February 1952 issue, but the real crime here is that the cover art is uncredited. Curse you, lax editors at Astro Distributing Corp. Who could this artist be? We don't think it's George Gross—he generally liked women to have high, elegantly arched eyebrows. It could be the same artist that did this piece, posted at Sweetheart Sinner. The similarities are many, from the lacy outfit to the basic composition and perspective, but that piece is uncredited too. So the provenance of the above cover will remain a mystery for now. The inside content is also a bit of a mystery because it was posed by models. Did we mention that someone really needs to delve into the subject of crime magazine models? Not us, though. Please not us. Twenty scans below.

From its founding in 1924 as True Detective Mysteries, through its second iteration and renaming in 1939, True Detective featured painted covers by top artists in the pulp/post-pulp field. The magazine experimented with photographed covers in 1962, releasing two issues of that style. The next year saw photographed covers become the norm and, sadly, another great forum for fine art disappeared forever. That said, some of the new photocovers were good, such as this one from January 1964 showing a kidnap victim fleeing her captor. As you can see, it sought to replicate the style of the painters by using careful staging, and in this case was particularly successful. But soon enough the covers turned into this—i.e., little more than snapshots.

How many slayings over the years have been called "jigsaw murders"? Plenty. All a killer has to do is cut up the body and "jigsaw" becomes the go-to nickname. The particular jigsaw murders referred to on the cover of this August 1947 True Police Cases are ones committed in Lancashire, England during the late 1930s. A doctor named Buktyar Rustomji Ratanji Hakim—"Buck" for short, and aka Buck Ruxton—strangled his wife Isabella. And in a sad but classic case of wrong-place-wrong-time, a maid who had the misfortune of witnessing the event was also strangled.
Because the police used newly developed forensic techniques to help solve the crime—for instance, superimposing photos of Isabella's face over the decomposed head to aid identification—the case generated a lot of attention. True Police Cases scribe Alan Hynd wasn't the only journalist with an interest. Many true crime writers wrote about it, and the story eventually became an entire book by T.F. Potter in 1984 called The Deadly Dr. Ruxton: How They Caught a Lancashire Double Killer. All these years later, of the many jigsaw murderers, Buck Ruxton remains among the most famous.

This issue of True Detective from June 1952 has cover art from Ozni Brown, along with all the standard crime magazine elements inside, but today we're interested in its unusual solve-it-yourself murder feature. This is the first of these we've seen. A fictitious crime scene photo is published along with a short written scenario, and readers are invited to determine how the killing was committed and by which suspect. This particular puzzle is a television tie-in written by Darren McGavin, who at the time was starring in a CBS series called Crime Photographer. The show revolved around a world-weary crime tabloid photog narrating his latest adventures to his local bartender. The series lasted only forty-seven episodes, but McGavin would go on to star in other shows, including the beloved but also short-lived Nightstalker. If you want to take a crack at solving True Detective's murder we've enlarged the relevant bits at the bottom of this post.
In order to make the whodunnit photo detailed enough we had to split it in half. It appears below along with the enlarged text.
And below is the solution.

When Mrs. Young came to retrieve her daughter, she found the church empty. She called the Scout leader and was told Janet never attended the meeting. This prompted a frantic call to the police, who quickly found the girl's charred body. They arrested Ebbs at home hours later. The crime, once it hit the news, aroused a furious reaction in the community. Two civilian participants in a police line-up with Ebbs punched, kicked and spat on him. Though the police of course denied this assault ever happened, they put together an armed detachment of thirty-five men to forestall trouble at Ebbs' arraignment. At his trial, which lasted eight days, four psychiatrists testified that he was legally insane, but four others pronounced him sane. He was convicted of first degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison. Ebb's only reaction, at least according to accounts of the time, came when he saw the camera crews gathered to film him. He wondered aloud, "What will they think of me?"

Above, a nice cover of Master Detective from December 1953 with art by the always brilliant Barye Phillips. The magazine launched in 1924, but this is the earliest cover we've shared. We'll dig a bit and see what we can find going back into the 1940s and earlier. By 1954 the covers became considerably more text heavy, which makes nearly blank examples like this worth looking for. We'll see what we find.

We're sharing this hyperviolent true crime magazine front because the art resembles that from yesterday's post of Tom Palmer covers for The Crime Machine. Crime Does Not Pay has no art credits, so we can't be sure who painted the covers, but we doubt it's Tom Palmer because, while similar in mood, Crime Does Not Pay is more cartoonish. Artists' styles evolve, of course, and a couple of years separate the two magazines, but we still doubt it's the same guy. We checked every site online that deals in these sorts of publications and none of them had a name. We also have two full issues of Crime Does Not Pay and there are definitely no art credits anywhere inside, and the pieces are unsigned to boot, so we don't even have a pair of initials or some illegible scrawl to work from. So the above cover art—brilliant and ingenious—remains uncredited. See the other three examples of Crime Does Not Pay here, here, and here.

In their press conference following yesterday's vote to change the Senate rules on filibusters, Democratic senators used a chart provided by PFAW to outline the extremity and unprecedented nature of the GOP's obstruction of President Obama's nominees.
Photos by J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press via The Washington Post
The astounding show of Republican recklessness that led to last month's government shutdown made one thing very clear. The new Republican Party -- the one ruled by the Tea Party -- isn't interested in making our government work. They want to break it.
Now, as if shutting down the government of the United States, furloughing hundreds of thousands of government employees, wasting billions of dollars and threatening to wreck America's economy wasn't enough, Republicans in Congress have set their sights on a new target: our justice system.
Yesterday, Senate Republicans took their campaign against our government to a whole new level when they blocked the nomination of Nina Pillard to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which is widely considered to be the nation's second-highest court behind the Supreme Court.
Pillard is one of President Obama's three nominees to fill vacancies on the D.C. Circuit, which is currently operating with nearly one-third of its active judgeships vacant. All three nominees have extraordinary professional qualifications. All three have support from across the ideological spectrum. Yet Senate Republicans are vowing to filibuster all three simply because they were nominated by President Obama.
One of the most basic functions of the U.S. Senate is to provide "advice and consent" to the president on his nominations to executive agencies and to the federal courts. For most of our country's history, the Senate has generally taken this constitutional order responsibly, using its power to block only nominees whom senators found unqualified or dangerously far out of the mainstream. That is, until now.
The same party that shut down the government in an attempt to nullify a duly-enacted law that it does not like is now trying to prevent a twice-elected president from filling vacancies on an important court -- a duty entrusted to him by the Constitution.
There's a reason Republican obstructionists have targeted the D.C. Circuit. The court has the last word on important federal laws and administrative rules on issues ranging from clean air regulations to workers' rights to cigarette labeling requirements to presidential recess appointments. Basically, just about any area that we regulate through our federal government is going to be affected by the D.C. Circuit. And it is currently dominated by conservative ideologues: nine of the 14 judges on the court (including "active" judges and senior judges who participate in panel decisions) were nominated by Republican presidents seeking to remake the courts in their ideological image.
Republicans want to keep it this way. President Obama has nominated five people to the court, yet Senate Republicans have allowed only one of these nominees to so much as receive a confirmation vote. By comparison, the Senate confirmed four of George W. Bush's nominees to the court and eight of Ronald Reagan's. In fact, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh seats that Republicans today demand remain vacant are ones that they ensured were filled when George W. Bush was president.
To give you an idea of just how conservative this court is as a result, just this month a George W. Bush nominee and a George H.W. Bush nominee ruled that employers who oppose birth control should be able to deny their employees access to affordable contraception through their insurance plans -- an absurd twisting of the true meaning of religious liberty. A few months ago, the court ruled that a law requiring employers to display a poster listing employees' legal rights violates the free speech rights of the employers. No, really!
Unable to win national elections, Republicans are trying to hold on to what power they still have -- and that includes control of the powerful D.C. Circuit. Just like they couldn't accept that the Affordable Care Act was the law of the land, the Tea Party won't admit that Americans chose President Obama to be the one making picks to the federal courts.
The Tea Party thinks that it has some sort of intellectual property claim on the U.S. Constitution. But sometimes I wonder if its leaders have even read it.
The following is a guest post from Elder Jabari Paul, a member of People For the American Way's African American Ministers in Action, following last week's Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Stand Your Ground laws.
My perspective on Stand Your Ground laws (SYG) is shaped by my experience and calling as a young African American clergyman and as a native of Florida, the first state to pass this type of legislation. I believe that these laws raise important questions about the moral values of our country.
The debate around SYG comes during challenging times in America – times when the political landscape is starkly divided and mass slayings in public settings are much too frequent. These laws have been divisive policies since the first one passed in October 2005 in Florida. Public contentiousness surrounding SYG can be traced back to the choices of many politicians to ignore the will of the majority on SYG laws and to push the agendas of powerful and moneyed interest groups, like the National Rifle Association. SYG has been a wedge issue because politicians, particularly conservatives, have supported such laws to placate their base in spite of a lack of need for these laws.
Stand Your Ground has been championed by its supporters as a type of law that is necessary to prevent crime in urban areas and to protect citizens from the violence of "thugs." These arguments have clear racial undertones. Words like "urban" and "thug" have been used since America's post-Reconstruction days to speak in coded language about African Americans and other minorities. SYG tramples upon the civil rights of those perceived to be a threat. The tragedy of these laws is compounded when the person attacked is killed and only their attacker has an opportunity to tell what happened.
As a Christian, minister and an African American male under 35, my views on SYG are shaped by my culture and my religious beliefs. I believe that SYG perpetuates violence in a society that already knows violence too well. Jesus Christ taught the opposite of violence – love. In His renowned "Sermon on the Mount," Jesus said, "Ye have heard that it hath been said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." In these verses, Jesus is stressing that violence should be the last form of recourse in any situation. SYG, on the other hand, justifies and can even facilitate violence.
Our country deserves better than this. The United States of America is called, and no doubt is, the greatest nation in world. It's time for our elected officials to drastically amend or repeal Stand Your Ground laws.
People For the American Way Director of Communications Drew Courtney appeared on Disrupt with Karen Finney this weekend to discuss Senate Republicans' reckless obstruction of President Obama's nominees to the important Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Re: Should an account of my wifes be on my credit report?
Since you are an AU, you have equal responsibility towards the account. People often add themselves to take advantage of the primary owner's good, long credit history and boost their scores. If you want, you can remove yourself. Just call the CC company and it should wear off your CR by the next reporting cycle.

After we got married she added me to the account as an authorized user although I have never used the acccount. This account now shows up on my credit report although I did'nt sign any agreement with this company.Is this legal? and can I have it removed even though we are still married?

Marianna, Florida --
On 11-15-2010 at 8:44 PM, deputies with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office responded to 5557 Hill Lane Marianna, Florida in reference to a reported burglary in progress.
Upon the first deputy arriving, he observed a suspect flee from the residence on foot towards a wooded area. The deputy pursued the suspect and was able to overtake him. The suspect was taken into custody and placed in a patrol vehicle for transport to the county jail.
While transporting the suspect to the county jail, he became combative and began kicking the back window of the patrol car. As the deputy was coming to a stop to gain control of the suspect, he was able to kick the window out and exit the patrol car. The deputy was able to quickly apprehend the suspect and further restrain him. He was then transported to the county jail without further incident.
During the investigation it was determined the suspect had an accomplice. K-9 units from A.C.I. and J.C.I. responded and attempted to track the other suspect. They were able to track the suspect back south on Chester Road until the inclimate weather made it impossible to continue tracking.
This incident is currently under further investigation. If anyone has information concerning this incident, please contact the sheriff's office. The defendant is charged with Burglary, Criminal Mischief, Resisting without Violence, and Escape.
