Sep 2015 - $40.00
We had a long, level and picturesque gravel site nestled amongst tall pine trees. Great Checkin process, superb bathhouse, and a Sunday afternoon ice cream social to boot. Park was very quiet and had trash pickup each morning. We had open access to clubhouse to watch TV as there is no OTA signal and very spotty wi-fi. Verizon 1 bar or less. ROCIADA is very remote, but that's the beauty of this place. Could easily spend a month or more here as long as I had plenty of food in the freezer. - texasgal54
Jun 2015 - $35.00
This was an very good stay for us. I would have given 5 stars overall, but two points need to be mentioned: 1) The free Wi-Fi service was there, but it was iffy at best. The most reliable service required a walk to near the welcome center or the clubhouse. 2) The site gravel pads were reasonably level, but some that were built up were narrow such that you step out the RV on to a slope. Thus you must park the RV to one side to avoid the slope and then create more of a leveling problem. On the plus side, this was a very pleasant stay, quiet and relaxing. We will come back. - New Mexico Stan
Aug 2014 - $19.00
Rate reflects Passport America discount. A beautiful campground on the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest. Great hiking trails, well kept grounds and amenities. Sites are well-shaded and well spaced. The Wi-Fi was pretty poor however, and my Verizon MiFi didn't pick up any service. I would stay here again. - rebeccaal

Additional Information
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.

Not happy with reviewers ... Justin Hamilton. Photo: Simon Schluter
Sometimes I think there's only one way the comedians performing at the Comedy Festival could truly be happy with the media coverage of the event. That would be if every single show got written about, and written about in a positive way. Of course, there is already a publication that has something positive to say about every show in the festival: it's the festival guide.
Comedian Justin Hamilton launched a scathing attack on Comedy Festival reviewers this week in a piece published on The Scriveners Fancy.
In it, Hamilton claims no comedy reviewer in Australia can be respected because they don't cover comedy all year round. Many don't understand how comedy works and they're ill-informed and threatened by new media, he writes. Read the full article here.
Initially, I thought I wouldn't write anything in response to Hamilton's piece because, frankly, I think the only people who care about analysing comedy reviews are the comedians and, of course, the reviewers themselves. For everyone else, it's boring and self-indulgent stuff.
But never let it be said I'm not prepared to be self-indulgent on this blog.
I'd like to throw the topic open to discussion and get some feedback on what people think of reviews and coverage for the Comedy Festival in general.
Hamilton's ire is focused on the reviews of 'the other' Melbourne newspaper and, without wanting to simply join him in attacking on our rival, I agree there are some fair points there.
Yes, there have been some reviews written by Herald Sun staff who don't normally write them and, as a result, some of these have been a bit, well, one-star. (Ben McKenzie has written a good response for Crikey to the Herald Sun's now-infamous 'most women can't be funny funny' review).
But, in the Herald Sun's defence, in an act of unbridled enthusiasm for an event they've ignored for years, they have set about reviewing a huge number of shows at this year's festival (98 per cent of all shows, I'm told).
In order to review that many shows, the festival's new official media partner basically had to invite any and all staff willing to write-up some shows to take part in the coverage. Some of their reviewers are experienced arts critics (including one former Age writer) but others are not. It's not ideal, but it's the only way, in a city this size and with ever increasing pressure on newspapers' resources and budgets, that you're going to see that amount of coverage.
It also touches on a regular criticism of The Age's coverage. For every one of the six years I've been covering the festival, we've been taken to task by some people for not publishing enough reviews (which have varied in number between about 80 and 150 over the past six years).
We mostly use the same small pool of reviewers every year and there are only so many shows we can see. It's not perfect either, but unfortunately, you can't have it both ways. Plus, while a small number of comedy buffs might actually like to read a review of every show in the festival, not many readers do. And we're not some niche comedy publication that can dedicate huge amounts of space and/or resources just to comedy coverage.
So the question is, which one would you prefer? Would you deprive someone who might receive a four- or five-star review from a first-time reviewer from getting that coverage, when the alternative might be no coverage at all? (To be fair to Hamilton, he is critical of both the negative and positive reviews)
I also feel some of the attacks on Twitter on Herald Sun reviewers have been misguided. For example, blaming the reviewer because the review only runs for three sentences shows a lack of understanding of how newspapers work. Writers get told by their editors how long a piece has to be. Or a piece that starts off longer gets drastically chopped down by the editor to fit on the page. I myself have had at least one review that lost what I considered an important bit of info in the editing process. You can attack the publication over the length of the reviews, but don't attack the writer.
Returning to Hamilton's criticism of reviewers - I do believe there are some major flaws in his criticism and I'm going to address them because, while he mainly seems to take aim at the Herald Sun, I think he has tarred us all with the same brush.
Putting aside his apparent bitterness that not one reviewer 'got' the cleverness of his show's structure (though it appears that John Bailey did), there are some bold assumptions made in the piece.
One is the premise that all the reviewers don't see comedy at any other time of year. For myself and most of The Age's other reviewers, that's not true. Just because The Age isn't publishing many reviews of comedy at other times of the year, doesn't mean we're not seeing any comedy.
As I said when presenting last year's (and final, it turned out) Age Critics' Award, people need to remember that, for the most part, critics love comedy and the Comedy Festival. Every night they go out to see shows they're hoping to see something great. No one goes out hoping to see something terrible so they can try to hurt someone's feelings and/or career. We're not motivated to become critics out of malice or bitterness, but because we're passionate about the art.
The other major problem I have with the piece is the claim is that reviewers are becoming irrelevant due to social media. The stats don't back it up – this blog's readership has grown every year since it began in 2006. (And if reviewers are truly an "endangered species" that have been "marginalised" by new media, why get so upset about them?)
"Who gives a toss what some reviewer thinks when you can check the Twitter feed of your favourite comedians and find them talking about which shows they loved?" writes Hamilton.
The problem with this statement is that if you only rely on comedians' Tweets to tell you which shows are good then ... 'everything's fantastic! Go and see it!'
I'll start relying on comedians' Tweets when comedians are willing to criticise each other (something they often seem willing to do in private conversation). I'm yet to see a single comedian Tweet something negative about another comedian's show.
Reviewers don't have that luxury of being nice, or promoting their mates, because their obligation is to the readers, not to the performers or the festival. Reviewers have to give their honest opinions on the shows they see, good or bad. And if it's bad, the idea is to warn people about spending their money on that show. There are 359 other shows they could spend it on. That's a good thing, isn't it?
Responsibility to the readers is also the reason why someone like Wil Anderson, who gets plenty of publicity already, still gets reviewed every year, possibly at the expense of someone unknown who 'needs' the publicity more. Our obligation is not give someone publicity as an act of charity, it's to give our readers what they want – and they want to read about Anderson's show.
Hamilton argues we need to improve our skills so that "comedians will actually want to impress you to earn your good review ... you owe it to the shows you see to be better at your craft."
But a comedian should never be out to impress a reviewer, no matter how respected that reviewer might be. They should be out to impress the audience. Reviewers are just audience members, after all. Achieve one and you should achieve the other.
In the end, you can agree or disagree, you can think it's fair or unfair, but a review is one person's honest, but subjective, opinion. Just don't take them too seriously.
Side note: the most-read Comedy Festival review on this site was Helen Razer's one-star, scathing review of Eddie Ifft. It shows one other thing about readers ... they just love reading bad reviews.
Here's a response from another critic who, like so many people who write about the festival, does it for love, not money.
So what are your thoughts? How do you use the reviews (and this blog) in making your decisions about which shows to see during the festival? Will you go and see a show based solely on one good review? Do you agree with Justin Hamilton's criticisms? Do you think that the fact that both newspapers are now offering coverage has been positive for the festival?
UPDATE: I've just published a few last-minute reviews, including my review of Justin Hamilton's show (note: I wrote this review days before his critics piece, but it only got published today). Read them all here.
You'll find all of The Age's festival reviews here.

Children raised in poverty or in orphanages experience chronic stress early in life that can have long-lasting effects on the brain, setting them up for future mental and physical ailments as adults, two studies found.
The stress of poverty may affect regions in a child's brain that control emotion, according to research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A second study found that children who had lived in an orphanage were more anxious than those who hadn't.
In childhood, the brain is still immature and developing rapidly so it is more sensitive to high-stress situations than an adult brain, said Pilyoung Kim, lead study author of the childhood poverty study. The findings from both papers suggest that early intervention programs to address chronic stress may benefit these children, the authors said.
"Long-term exposure to chronic stress is likely to cause wear and tear in children's physical and psychological systems for coping with stress over time," said Kim, an assistant professor and director of the Family and Child Neuroscience Lab at the University of Denver, in an Oct. 20 email. "Living in poverty at a young age can cause long-lasting changes in brain development, which contribute to difficulties in regulating of emotions and future devastating health outcomes, including mental illness and high mortality and morbidity in adulthood."
Researchers in the poverty study looked at 54 adults at age 24. Half of those in the study were considered low income when they were 9 years old and half were not.
Using brain imaging, they found that adults who were poor as children were less able than other participants to minimize their emotional reactions to negative images by reinterpreting scenes as less harmful or mentally distancing themselves.
In the second paper, researchers from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York studied 16 children ages 11 and younger who had been reared in an orphanage and 10 children who hadn't.
The researchers also created a mouse model in which the maternal care of newborn mice was disrupted.
The findings suggested that the unpredictable care children receive in orphanages may alter their behavior and, as seen in the mouse model, is an early-life stress that can affect brain development.

Out-Of-Work Chef Buys Restaurant For $100
The Milwaukee woman laid down a $100 bill and bought a restaurant. It's a "socially conscious" eatery on Milwaukee's South Side. The conditions include feeding the previous owner and his wife one free meal a day for a year.
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. A Milwaukee woman laid down a $100 bill and bought a restaurant. It's a socially conscious eatery on Milwaukee's South Side, open to help a transitional neighborhood. Using local growers, maintaining a kitchen garden and composting are part of the deal. And there are other strings attached. The new owner has to feed the old owner and his wife one free meal a day for a year. It's MORNING EDITION.

I used a Tarptent Virga 2nd generation on the Divide Ride in 2003. I loved it. Low weight, quick to pitch and kept the weather and bugs out and provided good ventilation and views. The Virga has now been upgraded again for more headroom in the last year or so. Excellent design with great materials and execution in production. And the small cottage industry company is great to deal with. The owner usually replies to your e-mail directly or on the BPL forum.
A bike touring friend bought one at my recommendation and used it on his PCT hike from Mexico to Canada last year and then used it while bike touring home to LA from Canada at the end of the hike. He was very pleased with the tarptent and saw it as the tent of choice along the PCT.
I bought the tarptent squall but have only used it on one overnighter. I plan on using it this summer for my loaded tour along the northern tier and trans america routes.
does your virga have a floor? silnylon seems to be too wimpy to last long as floor material.Originally Posted by arctos
how did it stand up to wind? thanks
Tarps are fine, but I didn't find it useful for biking. It sucks in camp grounds where the only camping spots often consists of mud holes. I was never able to get the bug fly on mine to work. Great for alpine areas where the bugs may not always be a big deal.
Years ago when I worked at a backpacking store I more or less came to the conclusion that a single wall A-frame tent was the most efficient, one just couldn't sell them. The tarp craze has been an effective way to back people into A-frames, and that is all to the good.
The design you bought seems pretty nice. Shires is pictured bedded down in a really nice meadow, apparently no chigers or ticks, or mud wallows. I found worse sleeping conditions more the norm in my bike tours.
He credits Stevesons of the famous nude catalogue, but not the Rayway folks who have done the most on this stuff as you probably know:
They are popular on the PCT because it isn't the north woods, and because Ray Jardine wrote the PCT guidebook, and has promoted them relentlessly. And of course they work.
Also while I use Jardine's ideas as a baseline for my touring, realistically the bike can carry an extra few ounces with ease compared to an alpine backpacker.
I have made and use the ray-way tarp and net tent for about three years with excellent results. I've pitched it everywhere from state parks to high school footbal fields, to desert. The net tent has a silnylon floor and is still in excellent condition with no holes. I sealed the seams with silicone sealant thinned slightly with mineral spirits and it has never leaked a drop. It's endured many downpours and some pretty good winds with no failures.

Webinar: Overcoming the Challenges of Integrating New HIV Prevention Information for Gay Men Service Providers
Wednesday 29 June, 2016 13.00 EDT
Higher-than-normal pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs with oxygen-rich blood—a condition called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)—can occur in a small proportion of HIV-positive people. If left untreated, PAH can lead to serious consequences.
The current standard of care for people infected with a hepatitis C virus strain called genotype 1 in Canada and other high-income countries is one of the following combinations:
Both telaprevir and boceprevir are processed by enzymes in the liver, as are many other drugs, including some used for the treatment of HIV infection.
Multiple medicines that are processed by the same liver enzymes have the potential to interact, influencing the speed at which each medicine is broken down. Such interactions have the potential to do the following:
This is why consulting with a knowledgeable pharmacist is an important part of care for people with HIV, HCV, TB and other chronic infections.
A medical team in Paris, France, has reported an unexpected and disturbing drug interaction between a drug used to treat PAH—bosentan (Tracleer)—and the HCV drug telaprevir. The interaction led to serious side effects.
A 58-year-old man infected with HIV, HCV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) sought emergency care. On examining him, the hospital found he had the following symptoms:
Seventeen days earlier he had begun treatment for HCV, as he had severe liver damage from this viral infection. At the time of his hospitalization he was taking the following medicines:
The man had been HIV positive for several decades; his viral load was less than 400 copies/ml and his CD4+ count was 500 cells.
Blood tests done at the time of hospitalization revealed that levels of the liver enzymes ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) in his blood were elevated, suggestive of liver injury. As a result of these and other test results, as well as his symptoms, doctors stopped treatment of his HCV and PAH. Two days later, the man's neurological symptoms cleared. Five days after interrupting his HCV therapy, levels of his liver enzymes returned to normal.
Further analyses of the man's initial blood samples found that the concentration of bosentan was four-fold greater than was expected. Levels of HIV drugs were within their normal ranges, as was the concentration of telaprevir. Interferon and ribavirin were not likely to have caused the interaction.
Once he recovered from bosentan toxicity, doctors resumed his HCV therapy and levels of this virus in his blood swiftly fell. Furthermore, no new interactions occurred.
To treat his PAH, doctors prescribed a new drug, ambrisentan (Volibris). They chose this drug because, based on available information from pharmacologists, it was unlikely to interact with telaprevir. Indeed, after he started taking this drug, no side effects emerged.
The problem of drug interactions associated with bosentan has been found in a clinical trial with HIV-negative volunteers who took the HIV medicine lopinavir-ritonavir (in Kaletra) and bosentan. In that study, levels of bosentan in the blood rose five-fold greater than usual. Side effects reported were headache; no increase in liver enzymes was detected. Bear in mind that in the study volunteers were not co-infected and only received bosentan for four days. The research team that did this study with Kaletra expects that a similar increase in bosentan levels in the blood could occur with other common combinations of protease inhibitors such as darunavir-ritonavir or atazanavir-ritonavir.
The report from the Parisian medical team is a reminder to healthcare professionals and patients that drug-drug interactions do happen. Over the next five years, more therapies will be licensed for the treatment of HCV infection. While there is urgency to get potent, tolerable and interferon-free therapies for HCV, it is important to remember that with emerging and relatively new therapies, every possible drug interaction has not been studied and unexpected ones can occur. Vigilance is always necessary when taking multiple medications for different conditions, particularly understudied combinations of drugs.
It is important to report side effects (also called adverse effects) to regulatory authorities.

Provided you are not changing the insured use of the vehicle, for example, you are still using it only for recreational purposes and not business then you need not do anything as the terms of your insurance still cover what you use it for. In addition you are not customizing the vehicle in any way that would affect the policy. I hope that clarifies the position. If there are any further points please reply. Best wishes. Yours sincerely Michael Holly
well, I'm a graphic designer and I'm self employed, but I'm not designing in the car. The cover is for domestic and social purposes
is that mean that I'm fine? even if I drive time to time to meet the client?\
Putting a design on the car would not affecvt your insurance but if you want to drive it to see clients check that you are covered for occasional business use as that may be a change of terms.

Today is Veterans' Day, a day that all Americans should feel blessed to have been blanketed in the stars and stripes that is not just a flag. That flag represents each veteran who ever defended this country.
As the flag hangs at half mast to honor another fallen soldier, and as it billows and waves in a form of salute, take pride in a nation that can freely honor its veterans.
Fallout from a crippled economy hit the Barnes' household a couple months ago when Ernie was laid off from his job.
Just as any other person would, he filed for his pittance of unemployment. He worked for the Iowa-based company for over five years and easily qualified.
And, anyone who has ever had to file for unemployment knows there is criteria to retaining the weekly stipend. Possibly the most commonly known is that the unemployed has to make a diligent effort to find a new job.

'Lunch Line' documentary at Bellarmine to examine history, controversy
Whether he was grading (harshly) the state of the nation's medical schools or sparking academic ambition in a roomful of hesitant high-schoolers, Louisville-born Abraham Flexner proved to be the educational lion of the early 20th century.
The new documentary Louder than a Bomb hit Louisville this month as part of a project put together by Jeffersontown High School's arts & humanities departments. Students were left inspired and excited by performance poetry. Film subject Nate Marshall was also flown in from Chicago to visit and conduct workshops with young poets.

Stablemaster Tokitsukaze and two wrestlers in the top makuuchi division, Goeido and Toyohibiki, have admitted being involved in illegal gambling on professional baseball in a statement submitted to the Japan Sumo Association, sources said Friday.
Tokitsukaze has also explained himself to police in connection with the case, the sources said.
Stablemaster Otake, who has admitted to police that he had bet on baseball games, and Toyonoshima, the top-division wrestler at Tokitsukaze's stable who had formerly wrestled at the third-highest rank of sekiwake, have also submitted statements to the association acknowledging their involvement, the sources said.
The five are known to have long-standing ties with Kotomitsuki, an ozeki who has confessed to gambling on baseball and has been suspended from the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament in July.
"I can't say anything because I have left the matter up to the sumo association, pending (police) investigation," said stablemaster Sakaigawa, who oversees Goeido and Toyohibiki at his stable.
Tokitsukaze is the ex-makuuchi-division wrestler Tokitsuumi, who took over a stable in October 2008 from a master who went by the same name and was fired by the association after being convicted in connection with the fatal abuse of a teenage wrestler at the stable earlier that year.
Goeido, a 24-year-old former high school yokozuna, has commanded attention for being promoted to third-ranked sekiwake at a tournament last summer, while Toyohibiki, 25, has won special awards three times.
As the scandal rocking the ancient national sport widens, sports minister Tatsuo Kawabata said Friday the sumo association's external investigative panel will disclose a report on the matter around the end of this month.
The panel will eventually decide on whether it will make public the names of all of the elders and wrestlers involved in illegal betting and whether to allow them to take part in the Nagoya tourney.
Meanwhile, food manufacturer Nagatanien Co. is considering reducing cash rewards provided to wrestlers starting with the Nagoya event, company officials said.
The company, which has provided rewards totaling ¥12 million at each tournament, is considering the move, given the social impact the scandal has had, one of the officials said.
In a survey conducted by the JSA on illegal gambling in sumo, 29 association members, including elders, said they have indulged in gambling on baseball games — allegedly under an arrangement with the mob.

Why our kids must get moving
BY Fiona Baker
If they don't, they face health crises in the future.
Do you know how much exercise the average child needs a day? If not, don't panic because many parents don't. The answer is: kids aged five to 18 years need at least one hour of "moderate to vigorous" exercise daily - and more than half aren't getting enough.
Research findings show the situation is worsening. While there was once a time where parents didn't have to count their kids' daily exertion, those days have gone, says Dr Louise Hardy from the University of Sydney.
"Kids are growing up in an environment which promotes sedentary lifestyles and where food that is high in fat and sugar is cheap and plentiful," she says.
Dr Hardy was involved in last year's NSW Schools Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey of 8100 school students. While the result had some good news - obesity in NSW children seems to be plateauing - it did find that kids are more inactive than ever.
A ticking time bomb
Even more dramatic figures have been released by the Cancer Council and the National Heart Foundation in a joint report on secondary school students. They found in a study of more than 12,000 students in Years 8 to 11, that only 15 per cent were meeting the physical activity recommendations.
Cancer Council Australia CEO Professor Ian Olver describes the study's findings as a chronic disease time bomb. "As obese kids move into adulthood the heightened risk of chronic diseases means previous gains in life expectancy may be reversed," Olver says. "We may see today's teenagers die at a younger age than their parents."
Getting them active
Dr Hardy's first tip is that parents subliminally increase their kids' activity. "Buy children active, not inactive, gifts. For example, a ball rather than a PlayStation game," she says, adding that parents should also play with their kids. "especially games to develop their fundamental movement skills, like throwing, catching".
The study turned up some concerning figures on how much time kids spend in sedentary activities like watching TV, playing video games or on the computer. For kids in years 6, 8 and 10 that could be as much as six hours a day on a weekday and a staggering nine hours a day on a weekend.
Dr Hardy says parents need to set strict rules around how much screen time is allowed, for both kids and themselves. "Changing behaviour is very difficult and parents face many barriers to promote healthy eating and moving," she says.
"However, families need to take opportunities to cook together and play together. By starting this routine when the child is in preschool they help to establish these healthier behaviours as their norm."
Expert tip: Encourage kids to play outside during the daytime by banning TV while the sun is still up.

In a move that could certainly make DMX or any other "rough-riding" rapper/actor jealous, Ice Cube is riding crotch rockets in his next movie.
The "Barbershop" star is switching from barber to biker for "Torque," a new motorcycle gang flick currently filming in Los Angeles. (Click to see photos from the set. )
"[It's] a lot of speed, big chase, you know, villains, good guys, bad guys — with a lot of action in between," Cube explained on the "Torque" set. "I'm one of the bad guys.
"I play a guy named Trey, he's the leader of a motorcycle gang called the Reapers, out of Inglewood," he continued. "He kinda gets after the lead character when he thinks that he has something to do with [his] brother's death. So I'm kinda after him half the movie."
"Torque" will mark the feature-film debut of music video director Joseph Kahn, whose resume reads like the Billboard 200. Kahn has worked with Christina Aguilera, Destiny's Child, the Backstreet Boys, 'NSYNC and Korn, to name a few. He's also the man behind Eminem's cartoonish "Without Me," Em nemesis Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars" and Cube's 1997 video for "The World Is Mine."
"I actually turned down the movie two times before I [decided to do] it," Kahn admitted. "I was offered like every motorcycle script in Hollywood. 'Cause everybody thinks that motorcycles are the next big thing. So I was thinking, 'I don't want to make a motorcycle movie, I mean, how cool can that be?'
"But then I was thinking … take yourself outside of the concept of just the motorcycle and think of it as a chase movie and an action movie," he continued. "All of a sudden, all these images started coming — how would I shoot an action scene, what would my heroes look like, how would they dress, how do I want the motorcycles to move … Then I got really excited."
"Torque" also stars Martin Henderson ("Windtalkers"), Monet Mazur ("40 Days and 40 Nights"), Jaime Pressly ("Not Another Teen Movie") and Jay Hernandez ("Joy Ride") in its relatively large cast. In addition to the Reapers, there's a gang called the Hellions. Henderson's character is the "good guy" framed for the murder of Trey's brother, who spends much of the movie on the run from both the FBI and Trey's gang.
The movie is slated for release next summer.
"It's going to be a kick-ass movie, with stunts that you've pretty much never seen before," Kahn promised. "And a visual style that'll just floor you."
"It's a hell of a movie," Cube agreed. "It's 'The Fast and the Furious' and 'XXX' times 10."

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.

Great TasteReviewed on 10/23/2012 Emily P
Cakes by Tammy was a vendor that was offered through our wedding venue. We had her cakes before at a friends wedding so it was a no brainer that we were going to use her for our big day. She was able to take a picture of what we wanted and brought it to life. The cake was... Read More exceptional. The butter pecan with butter cream icing is to die for!!!
Tammy is wonderful!Reviewed on 10/08/2012 Heather F
Tammy is by far the best baker I dealt with in my search for my wedding cake. After meeting with her, she insisted that we look at other vendors before making our choice. And after we did, there was no comparison! Tammy makes her clients feel special and appreciated...unlike... Read More other vendors that I dealt with that made me feel like I was a burden or taking up their time. She loved my ideas for my cake and incorporated all of them into what was a beauty! We received tons of compliments on the cake and I'd recommend Tammy in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a baker for whatever the occasion!
So Delicious!Reviewed on 9/27/2012 Gabe S
Tammy is amazing and so are her cakes! She was a dream to work with and absolutely ensured that you received the cake of your dreams. The cake stand that we rented from her was beautiful and her designs are fabulous! After the reception, our guests raved about how delicious the... Read More cake was and that they wished they could have had seconds!
Tammy was great to work with from the very beginning. She had no problem meeting us at a hotel in our hometown and she brought two 6-inch cakes for us to take home and try! The two cakes were delicious and the generous sample allowed us to share it with the groom's family. After... Read More a couple weeks of not being able to decide on which flavors to get, Tammy offered to make us THREE more sample cakes for a small price. After we finally made our decision, I sent Tammy a couple of pictures of cakes that I saw from Pinterest. The cakes that I sent her were very different from the beautiful sample cakes she showed us, but I had total faith in Tammy and knew that her creativity and talent would shine through..and boy was I right! When I saw the cake for the first time on our wedding day, I was completely blown away! I requested an "ombré"-style cake that went from teal at the top to purple at the bottom...it was more beautiful than I even imagined and looked INCREDIBLE with the acrylic cake topper I picked out. I felt bad cutting it! I could not recommend Tammy enough for any upcoming brides and grooms...she was so easy to work with and our cake was beautiful and delicious. I already can't wait to eat our anniversary cake!
Delicious!Reviewed on 7/14/2015 Sarah B
Tammy was wonderful to work with. She has many different cake, filling, and icing combinations to suit any tastes. Our guests thought the cake was beautiful and delicious.
DELICIOUS!!!Reviewed on 3/31/2015 Grace Y
This was one of the two choices we had with our package for our wedding and it was the best choice we made with the cake. Tammy was super energetic and she was one that seemed to have a passion for what she does. When we met with her she made us so many choices that we ended... Read More up with layers of different flavors. She does an amazing job with making sure the flavors of cake and icing are exactly to your liking. I love that she makes a separate cake for the anniversary cake. She is very good with details and we couldn't have asked for anything better. All of our guests complimented how amazing the cake was and a portion of it even when back with a friend to Ohio whose parents also raved how good the cake was. So kudos to Tammy and if you're looking for someone with passion on details and flavor, she's the one for you.
She's Amazing!!Reviewed on 8/22/2014 Emily B
Cakes by Tammy is amazing and I would definitely recommend her for anyone's wedding! Tammy was great to deal with and always responded quickly to my e-mails. She can do ANY design on a cake. She'll show you a lot she has done in the past, but if you like a particular design,... Read More just show her a picture and she can have it done! Her cakes are DELICIOUS! Everyone at our wedding said how wonderful our cake was! I love Cakes by Tammy and will definitely be making my sister use her for her wedding! She's great!
Thank you!!Reviewed on 6/18/2014 Lisa A
I can not thank Tammy enough for creating the wedding cake of my dreams! Not only did she make a gorgeous wedding cake but it was absolutely delicious. After tasting several of her cakes, my husband and I chose the white chocolate swirl batter with strawberry filling. My... Read More wedding guests are still talking about how amazing the cake was! I would recommend her to any bride as she takes the time to listen and is willing to create anything you want for a very reasonable price! She is the best :-)
Wedding CakeReviewed on 5/12/2014 Tori c
I can not even begin to tell you how AMAZING Tammy from Cakes by Tammy is to work with. I looked at many different cake places and had high expectations for the cake I wanted. I wanted a truly custom cake with intricate designs. I went to a couple bakeries that wanted to charge... Read More insane amounts of money or just told me they could not do the cake I envisioned. When I met with Tammy she said she was excited to make the cake and hoped I chose the one I showed her. She was up for the challenge. The cake was the most BEAUTIFUL thing I have ever seen! I did not want to cut it! It was a 6 tier cake with a detailed silver dragee design and edible pearls. She had to apply the design with tweezers (I now feel bad about that). My reception venue second my opinions on the cake and said it was the best one they had seen. Not only was it the most beautiful cake ever but it also tasted delicious! You will not regret going with Tammy, she was amazing!
Amazing!Reviewed on 1/15/2014 Brandi B
Our wedding cake was included in our wedding package from our venue, but we had a choice between two bakers. We chose Cakes by Tammy and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Tammy is such a pleasant person to work with! She listens to exactly what you want and gives... Read More it to you. Our cake was EXACTLY what we wanted! My husband doesn't even like cake, but he looooved Tammy's french vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling which we used in each tier of our wedding cake. I would definitely recommend Tammy to all my friends and family. Such a great person!
Fixed my cake disaster!Reviewed on 11/04/2013 Amanda C
We had orginally booked with another baker who called me and said they could no longer do my cake. That was the best thing that could have ever happened. Tammy saved the day! She met with us at an agreed upon location and built the cake I had designed to the tee. It looked... Read More exactly like my picture. Not only that, she was much more affordable than any other baker I could find!
Beautiful and DeliciousReviewed on 10/30/2013 Courtney C
Thank you Tammy for making such a delicious wedding cake that my husband ate my piece while I wasn't looking!! When I met with Tammy she was friendly and fun to talk to. She was open to all of our ideas and answered a lot of our questions about what was or wasn't possible. When... Read More we showed her some inspiration photos, she immediately understood our vision. When we ran into a road block with the particular color we wanted, she went above and beyond to try and match it. She kept in contact with us and provided us with updates on her progress. When she wasn't able to match the color (it was truly just an odd color), she provided us with many options (even though it was only a week before the big day). Her efforts to make us happy were much appreciated. In the end, she created a beautiful cake that fit what we pictured in our minds AND tasted so very delicious! I can't wait to chow down on that anniversary cake (which she baked and boxed separately for us).
Delicious and Beautiful CakeReviewed on 10/29/2013 Jennifer
Tammy was wonderful to work with! I brought her multiple pictures of cakes I liked and she was able to design a custom cake from them! It was the cake of my dreams! The cake itself was moist and delicious! I have received so many compliments on the cake, it was definitely a... Read More hit! I would highly suggest using Cakes by Tammy!
Tastes as good as it looks!!Reviewed on 10/17/2013 Erin
This was one of my husbands only stern requests. He liked her cakes so much that he said he didn't even care what it looked like, because it tastes amazing. Thankfully, Tammy is amazingly talented and it looked beautiful as well. She was so accommodating and let us choose... Read More different fillings AND cake flavors for each of our 4 tiers. We showed her photos of colors and styles of decorating and she put them all together and made the most gorgeous ombre buttercream cake. She's a dream!
Tammy was great!Reviewed on 10/06/2013 Tia C
Beautiful cake that tasted sooooo good!!! Love Tammy!
Simply Beautiful!Reviewed on 10/03/2013 Janet W
We used Cakes by Tammy for our wedding. Tammy is very easy to work with, she realizes it's your day and she will work with you so you get that perfect cake you've been dreaming of. our cake was delicious, and just beautiful! I would highly recommend using her.
Do yourself a favor and hire Tammy!Reviewed on 9/23/2013 Victoria B
I love cake. I could admittedly eat cake for every meal of the day and not get bored of it. Chocolate, white, red velvet, I don't care...put some icing on it and I'll eat it. Cake = life. Good cake = happiness :) So I know bad cake when I taste it. Tammy's cake is out of... Read More this world, insanely good! The father of one of our wedding guests is a baker and she RAVED about our cake from Tammy, so that is saying something! We opted for 2 tiers of chocolate and 2 tiers of white, both with regular buttercream. The chocolate was perfect! Not too rich but just the right chocolate flavor! The buttercream isn't too sugary or grainy like some can be. The design and the artistry was beautiful!!!! Tammy was incredibly easy to work with and super nice! She put my fiance and I at ease and I felt like we were friends, instead of bride and vendor. Her prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of work! Stop looking at other bakers right now and do yourself a favor and hire Tammy! You will not be disappointed!!!!
THANK YOU!!!Reviewed on 9/14/2013 Tammy B
I'm sure there is a way to reply to reviews my brides have left me, but as most of you know, Im not very computer savvy! :) I just wanted to THANK all of you for such awesome reviews and tell you how much I appreciate them! On days I question why I do this for a living (you... Read More know, the one's where I added too much vanilla to the icing, or doubled the eggs in the cake mix on accident kind'a days), all I have to do is read some reviews from my former clients and I remember EXACTLY why!! Thank you all for making me a part of one of the most special day's of your life!
WOW! Most beautiful wedding cake!Reviewed on 9/12/2013 kristi k
Tammy is by far the best wedding cake vendor in Pittsburgh! Even so, that I decided against our normal "go to" bakery and chose her. She was very pleasant and easy to work with. She will even provide you with 2 large cake samples to take home and taste with your family. No job... Read More is too difficult to her. I had a very elaborate 5 tier cake and it turned out just as the picture I showed her. I am beyond satisfied with her service. She is also very reliable and talented! Go Tammy!
Great cakeReviewed on 8/06/2013 Sierra L
Tammy made my dream cake for my wedding! It was beautiful and amazing! The price was just right as well!!!
Good and beautifulReviewed on 9/23/2012 Megan L
So many times at weddings the cake looks great but does not taste so good... Not with cakes by Tammy. It was wonderful! The cake had so much detail on it it was amazing. But the taste was even better!! It was cake that people actually wanted to eat!! She has so many designs to... Read More get ideas from and so many different flavors and fillings!
Yummy!Reviewed on 8/21/2012 smith f
Tammy is a REALLY nice woman! Our consultation went so well... that she didn't need to contact us again until 1 month before the wedding. I showed her a photo of the cake I wanted. And I told her what flavors... and guess what??? She overly delivered! The cake was so good,... Read More that I had folks ask if they could have some of our anniversary cake! We had the carrot cake with the creme cheese filling and the buttercreme icing! Yummy! Her prices were the BEST that we found in the Pittsburgh region. And besides price, just having such a wonderful vendor would have justified spending triple the cost! You have to try Cakes by Tammy!
Tammy rocked!Reviewed on 7/31/2012 Rachel G
The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. She had some of the better prices and her cake and icing couldn't be beat!
Nom Nom NomReviewed on 7/19/2012 Natalie S
She makes the most delicious cakes! It was so moist and flavorful. SHe is very talented and can do just about any design. I took her a photo from a magazine and she duplicated is exactly!
Delicious CakeReviewed on 6/28/2012 Kristin G
Tammy did an amazing job with our cake. Her cake tastes amazing, and she designed the cake exactly how I wanted it. I will use Tammy for all my cake needs now :) I highly recommend her.

A Connecticut man named Noel was arrested after scaling a Christmas tree in a public park.
Police cut electricity to the tree in New Haven Green, a 16-acre park in New Haven near Yale University, and talked with Noel Delgado to persuade him to come down, The Associated Press reported.
Delgado was carrying two banners and shouting about various causes.
He was charged with breach of the peace and refused medical treatment at the scene, the AP reported.

Along The Grand Canal
Along The Grand CanalPedestrian, Other, 8 km, 1 day
The main artery and backbone of Venice, the Grand Canal weaves a reverse S shape along 3.8 km. Traveling its course by boat offers the best views of the palaces and churches built specifically shimmer in the water. This walk, that allows for breaks to visit some museums and monuments, is a delight.Customise this route and add it to My travel book
Begun by Longhena, this elegant palace sports a ground-floor embellished with diamond-shaped bossages. The Ca'Pesaro is home to the Oriental Art Museum and the International Gallery of Modern Art.
Ca' d'Oro
Although stripped of the ornamentation from which it derives its names (oro means gold), this delicate, floral, Gothic creation is nonetheless stunning, both in terms of its facade and its interior. Above the magnificent mosaic-paved inner courtyard, Galleria Franchetti has a fine St Sebastian by Mantegna, as well as works by Venetian masters of the likes of Antonio Vivarini, Carpaccio, Tintoretto, Tiziano and Francesco Guardi.
The Rialto Bridge
With its humped shape covered with arches, this bridge is emblematic of Venice. So it shouldn't surprise us to see it besieged by a crowd coming to take "the" photo of the Grand Canal, and the small shops, once occupied by bankers and financiers, that are today souvenir shops. Built in 1591 by Antonio Da Ponte, it was designed to allow navigation on the grand Canal.
Fortuny Palace
At the beginning of the 20th C., Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo (1871-1949), a Spanish painter, photographer, interior decorator and fabric creator, bought this 15th C. palace (which had belonged to the Pesaro family). It stands out for its two beautiful series of windows with seven bays each. In this palace you will be able to visit a museum dedicated to the works of art of the man himself, and in particular the delicate and refined fabrics that made his reputation.
Ca' Rezzonico
Palazzo Grassi
Built in the 18C by Giorgi Massari, this is the last of the great Venetian palaces to be built before the fall of the Venetian Republic. It was purchased in 2005 by French tycoon François Pinault, who commissioned Japanese architect Tadao Ando to remodel it with a view to displaying his particularly rich art collection: over 2,000 works, ranging from Arte Povera to Pop Art and everything in between.
Bridge of the Academy
Running from the Campo Santo Stefano to the Museum of the Academy and to the Zattere, this wooden bridge, which in the 30s replaced an older bridge made of iron, is especially attractive for those among you who really would rather not cross the Grand Canal standing up on a traghetto!
Galleria dell'Accademia
Housing the city's finest art collection, the museum occupies a group of buildings comprising the church of Santa Maria della Carità, its monastery and the Scuola Grande della Carità, granted to the Academy of Fine Arts in 1750 and a museum since the 19C. Today, the entire spectrum of Venetian painting from the 14C to the 19C is represented, encompassing a prestigious group of names: Vittore Carpaccio, Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese, Titian and Giambattista Tiepolo.
Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Palazzo Venier dei Leoni is home to the collection of Peggy Guggenheim, niece of collector Salomon Guggenheim. She amassed a fabulous collection of contemporary paintings and sculpture (most of which are surrealist works and pieces from the Dada movement) in which feature major works by many of the big names of 20C art. Sculpture garden with pieces by Jean Arp, Germaine Richier and Henry Moore. Not to be missed!
Basilica of the Salute (Holy Mary of Health)
Built in 1630 by Baldassare Longhena to ward off a plague epidemic, this immense church crowned with a domed and standing almost exactly at the mouth of the Grand Canal, is one of the best-known sites of Venice. If the interior can seem quite cold within its majestic solemnity, it does contain some priceless works of art: The Wedding of Cana by Tintoretto, and works by Titian whose topic is sacrifice (ceiling of the Sacristy) and altarpieces by Luca Giordano.
Doge's Palace
Unmissable, this amazing palace reveals Venice's entire history, both the public history of its doges and the more secret, tragic one of an uncompromising Republic. On the brighter side are the sumptuous ducal apartments with a visit culminating with the extraordinary Hall of the Great Council. On the darker side are the sinister prisons accessible via the Bridge of Sighs and the secret itineraries tour that unveils the hidden face of the Venetian Republic.
Saint Mark's Basilica
If the facade of Saint Mark's Basilica is superb, the marble interior, mosaics and bronze horses will leave you in awe, as much by the luminosity of the mosaics as by its 12C animal and geometric patterns. The edifice, consecrated in 1094, features a mixture of Byzantine and Western influences and is home to a host of treasures such as alabaster columns and a gold altarpiece!
Piazza San Marco
This extraordinary architectural ensemble is the very embodiment of Venice. Everything here is graceful and beautiful, albeit teeming with pigeons and tourists. This vast trapezoidal space is harmoniously framed by the Procuratie, under the arcades of which are cafés like Florian (1720) and Quadri (1775), and boutiques. The square opens onto the Grand Canal across the lovely Piazzetta.
