Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
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.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Federal disaster funds have been made available for California to supplement state and local recovery efforts in San Joaquin County struck by floods stemming from a levee break that occurred early last month, the head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced today.
Michael D. Brown, Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Emergency Preparedness and Response, said President Bush authorized the aid under a major disaster declaration signed last night following a review of FEMA's analysis of the state's request for federal assistance. The declaration covers damage to public property from flooding beginning on June 3.
After the President's action, Brown designated San Joaquin County eligible for federal funding to pay state and affected local governments 75 percent of the approved costs for debris removal, emergency services related to the floods, and the repair or replacement of damaged public facilities.
Brown said federal funds also will be available to the county on a cost-shared basis for approved projects that reduce future disaster risks. He indicated that additional designations may be made later if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.
William L. Carwile, III of FEMA was named by Brown to coordinate the federal relief effort. Carwile said that procedures for requesting assistance will be explained at a series of applicant briefings at locations to be announced shortly in the affected area.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.

Spend money wisely on your next kitchen renovation to ensure your own enjoyment of the new kitchen - and a decent return on your investment.
1 Countertops
It seems everyone wants granite these days – I've even noticed that renters are asking for these high-end countertops, too. But while there's no doubt granite looks great, there are a ton of other options on the market that won't put such a massive hole in your budget. Butcher block, for example, is great for people who want a more rustic look, and it comes at a fraction of the price. Or, if you're after more industrial appeal, check out poured concrete countertops – you'll pay a bit more for the labour, but the materials are a whole lot cheaper. If your heart is set on granite, be smart about buying it, and research some companies that may have deals on precut pieces or find a company that does big restaurant jobs and you might get lucky piggy-backing on someone else's good deal.
2 Tiles
You can save a ton of cash with budget-friendly tiles used in a creative way. Consider a herring-bone design, for example, rather than a traditional brick pattern. Or use the expensive tiles you want sparingly to create a trim detail or a feature area behind the cooktop rather than being forced to tile the entire expanse of a backsplash. When I work with designers I always challenge them to use more affordable products in a high-end application. Believe me, ingenuity can definitely pay off.

node-svgfilter ==============
A readable/writable stream that manipulates SVG files. The primary use
case is removing elements whose
id attribute isn't on a
whitelist. This is useful as a preprocessor to
inkscape that only
supports a single
--export-id=... argument.
var SvgFilter = require'svgfilter' fs = require'fs'; fscreateReadStream'source.svg' pipekeepId: 'foo' 'bar' pipefscreateWriteStream'target.svg';
As an experimental feature you can run inline JavaScript found in the
SVG file itself by specifying the
runScripts option. The JavaScript
can manipulate the SVG DOM however it wants through the
global. The script also has access to the globals
svgFilter. The latter is the options object passed to the
SvgFilter constructor, so it's possible to carry out specific
instructions, eg. change the color of an icon.
document.getElementById('theCircle').setAttribute('stroke', svgFilter.circleColor);
var SvgFilter = require'svgfilter' fs = require'fs'; require'fs'createReadStream'blackCircle.svg' piperunScript: true circleColor: 'maroon' pipeprocessstdout;
This will produce an SVG file where the
stroke attribute of the
circle element has been changed to
maroon. The
runScript option
can also specify the id of the script to run, or an array of ids.

This park is in an attractive destination for families seeking outdoor fun. Its remote location is not, however, suitable for over nighters and it is lacking in the usual facilities for RVers. No Verizon cell phone coverage. Friendly staff. Pretty spot. - Roger H.
Aug 2012 - $30.00
We have stayed here a few times during the week and had a great time. We hear weekends get crowded but not enough to avoid staying here. The water slide may be the fastest I've tried in a long time. Camping conditions were fine. Most good sites are backed up to Steele Creek, which you can also play in. A family friendly place that we will go back to more than once a season. Take some money. It does get pricey. - justhollerhandyman
Jun 2012 - $38.00
Stayed for a weekend recently. Old. We were here a many years ago and nothing has changed or improved. Beach is nice but small. Stream is OK for wading, a lot of rocks, shallow, and very cold mountain water. Sites are tight. Feels like your neighbor is in your site with you practically. A lot of snakes in small streams. Saw two. Website says $32, but we arrived on weekend and found out then it was $38. Overpriced. Water slide is $10 per kid per day. Mini golf is $3 for very very old course on side of hill. Playground is three swings, nothing else. Bathhouses were not clean. Pool closed for repair. Didn't know that when we went. Drove up a narrow road to use pool, got 1/2 way up and rope across road. Had to back down. They could have put a sign at the entrance. Saved some trouble for people. Rained so firewood wet and smoke was terrible. Kids had fun but won't go back to Steele Creek. - Karen2378

The food could be fantastic but the service is so bad I haven't found out about the food....and that's just on the phone! I was asked if I wanted a small or large order of breadsticks and I said, "what's the difference" to which the young lady replied "I don't know".... And sat in silence until I decided......really hard to get a customer these days but, SUPER easy to lose one! Sad!
02/27/2013 - T. Cremeens
The grilled chicken salad was horrible!!! Too much lettuce, no cheese, and the chicken was way over cooked!!!! And for almost 10.00 for a salad I would expect that I got a better salad than that. Also, the steak sandwich wilted lettuce, no extra cheese. Very disappointed on this delivery from Giovanni's. I will not be ordering anything other than pizza from there again!!! At least the pizza that we ordered was done correctly.
05/22/2012 - Kristen
Over priced. And I ordered to go they told me 25 minutes and it ended up taking 55... I had to stand and wait inside for 15 min and it took forever for anyone to recognize me.
Do not recommend this Giovanni's! A disappointment!

Charges filed in suspected Midwest City murder-for-hire plot
Prosecutors filed murder and conspiracy charges Thursday against three people in a suspected murder-for-hire plot that left a pregnant Midwest City mother dead.
Jessica Lynn Brown, 23, was found shot to death in her home Jan. 11. Her estranged husband, Fabion Brown, 24, his girlfriend, Emily Matheson, 23, and an acquaintance of theirs, Brodric Glover, 19, were each charged Thursday with two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy.
Prosecutors accuse Fabion Brown and Matheson of hiring Glover to kill Jessica Brown, who was divorcing her husband and planned to take their two young children out of state.
Glover told police he shot Jessica Brown while she was in bed next to her children, who were found outside the next morning after someone called police and said they were walking in the street unsupervised. She was six months pregnant with a baby girl when she was killed.

"An in-depth reference recommended for college-level veterinary library holdings and for practicing vets and clients. It covers complementary treatment options from Chinese herbal medicine nad acupuncture to therapeutic nutrition, and takes a systems-based approach to familiarizing vets with terminology and processes of these alternative options. From key diseases to behavior issues and all the common physical problems of animals, a range of detail on key integrative treatment options from experts in herbal medicine, acupuncture and therapeutic nutrition provide an essential, key reference to any studying or working in the veterinary science field." - Midwest Book Review, November 2008
"There is a dearth of easily found information on alternative therapies and the authors have produced a book that will prove useful to those who require a checklist source of alternative therapies for treating, either primarily or integratively, common clinical problems seen in small animal practice." -Doody's Reviews

I would love some advice/opinions on a Vintage Raleigh Grand Prix I picked up in the Spring. I am not 100% sure of the vintage but I am guessing it's early 70's. It was restored by a local bike shop with new wheels/tires and tuned up ans cost me $200. I swapped out the original handlebars, as I found them too narrow and also replaced the brake levers and stem. Since then I have been using it for my daily commute, which is about 14 miles and so far I am pretty happy with it. It's pretty fast, but can be a little jarring on the potholed Boston streets!
Here's my dilemma - the frame is a pretty chipped and I was thinking of getting it sand/bead blasted and powder coated to avoid rust, and I was also thinking about getting new wheels. However, this may run into hundreds of dollars and I am not sure if the frame is worth spending that kind of cash on, or if I would be better off putting the money towards a newer bike. The Frame is lugged steel, but I think I've heard that this was an entry level bike at the time.
Any thoughts from people who've owned both vintage and newer bikes? Do you think that entry level vintage bikes are worth spending extra cash on, or should I just put the money towards something like a San Jose or t1000?

Dynamic allocation and pricing problems occur in numerous frameworks, including the pricing of seasonal goods in retail, the allocation of a fixed inventory in a given period of time, and the assignment of personnel to incoming tasks. Although most of these problems deal with issues treated in the mechanism design literature, the modern revenue management (RM) literature focuses instead on analyzing properties of restricted classes of allocation and pricing schemes.
Fiscal policy makers have faced an extraordinarily challenging environment over the last few years. At the outset of the global financial crisis, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the first time advocated a fiscal expansion across all countries able to afford it, a seeming departure from the long-held consensus among economists that monetary policy rather than fiscal policy was the appropriate response to fluctuations in economic activity. Since then, the IMF has emphasized that the speed of fiscal adjustment should be determined by the specific circumstances in each country.
In the twenty-first-century digital world, virtual goods are sold for real money. Digital game players happily pay for avatars, power-ups, and other game items. But behind every virtual sale, there is a virtual economy, simple or complex. In this book, Vili Lehdonvirta and Edward Castronova introduce the basic concepts of economics into the game developer's and game designer's toolkits. Lehdonvirta and Castronova explain how the fundamentals of economics—markets, institutions, and money—can be used to create or analyze economies based on artificially scarce virtual goods.
In this rigorous and well-crafted work, Kenneth Wolpin examines the role of theory in inferential empirical work in economics and the social sciences in general—that is, any research that uses raw data to go beyond the mere statement of fact or the tabulation of statistics. He considers in particular the limits that eschewing the use of theory places on inference.
The narrative of development economics is now infused with discussions of institutions. Economists debate whether institutions--or other factors altogether (geography, culture, or religion)--are central to development. In this volume, leading scholars in development economics view institutions from a microeconomic perspective, offering both theoretical overviews and empirical analyses spanning three continents.
In the early 1990s, trade and labor economists, noting the fall in wages for low-skilled workers relative to high-skilled workers, began to debate the impact of trade on wages. This debate--which led to a sometimes heated exchange on the role of trade versus the role of technological change in explaining wage movements--continues today, with the focus now shifting to workers in the middle of the wage distribution.
Influential neoclassical economist Lionel McKenzie has made major contributions to postwar economic thought in the fields of equilibrium, trade, and capital accumulation. This selection of his papers traces the development of his thinking in these three crucial areas.McKenzie's early academic life took him to Duke, Princeton, Oxford, the University of Chicago, and the Cowles Commission. In 1957, he went to the University of Rochester to head the economics department there, and he remains at Rochester, now Wilson Professor Emeritus of Economics.
Pictures of oil as the glittering prize, the source of global power and empires, or the hub of an energy crisis have gushed through the media since 1973. What actually happened was very different. M. A. Adelman had written in 1970 that "the genie is out of the bottle," that a group of oil producing countries would control the oil trade to raise prices. Now, twenty-five years later, he has written the fascinating history of the greatest monopoly ever known.
In recent decades, governments have built up substantial public debt, which is often accompanied by a growing public sector and fiscal policies that neglect long-term considerations. The contributors to this CESifo volume consider whether the development of public debt in the United States and six EU countries is sustainable--that is, whether fiscal policies in these countries can be continued without creating the potential for government bankruptcy. The sustainability of public debt presents a challenge not only to public policy design but also to economic theory.
Over the last thirty years, a new paradigm in banking theory has overturned economists' traditional vision of the banking sector. The asymmetric information model, extremely powerful in many areas of economic theory, has proven useful in banking theory both for explaining the role of banks in the economy and for pointing out structural weaknesses in the banking sector that may justify government intervention.

This article will instruct you on how to style a mohawk without cutting or shaving your hair.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Separate the hair that you are gonna put into the Mohawk and put the rest in buns or ponytails.
2Separate the hair into three or four different parts.
- You won't be able to get the "fanned out" look, it will have to be kind of chunky because of the long hair and the curve of your scalp.
3Put on your gloves and with the first section, start putting the glue at the base and work it up with the comb like hair dye.
- Make sure you get a lot at the bottom because if you don't, it won't stay up.
4Take plenty of glue on your palms and "squish" them together around the hair, like flattening it and pulling it up.
5Have one friend to hold the hair up and the other to blow dry it.
- Have two people blow dry it for faster results.
6Continue doing this with the other sections.
- The top section will be the easiest and probably the biggest.
7Make the sections smaller to follow the curve of your head.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- With shoulder length, it will take 1.5 hours, so expect to spend some time.
- You will be picking glue clumps that got left behind when you washed it for the next couple of days.
- You probably won't be able to get all of your hair into one because it will be heavy.
Things You'll Need
- A couple friends
- A hairdryer or two
- Rubber gloves for all of you
- A couple combs you don't mind wasting

BFI's New £2m Lottery Film Fund Offers Lifeline for Audience Development
Date posted: 13.04.2011
The BFI has announced a new Transitional Lottery Film Fund to support organisations across the UK dedicated to delivering audience development activities for specialised and British film.
With a new film strategy and funding priorities planned to take effect in 2012, the £2million fund will provide financial support in this transitional year for organisations such as independent cinemas, film festivals, film clubs and societies, arts centres and regional archives.
This fund aims to enable them to continue their vital work in delivering film to audiences. At the same time, the fund is designed to give organisations stability and continuity to cope not only with challenging finances, but also with structural change in public funding across film.
Peter Buckingham, Head of Distribution and Exhibition (Lottery) at the BFI said: "It is critical that we ensure that audiences don't suffer as a result of this transition period and that we enable film organisations to survive, and indeed continue to thrive, for the long term growth and development of film in the UK".
The announcement comes on the back of the recent handover of responsibilities to the BFI and Film London from the devolved UK Film Council, in which the BFI became the UK's lead Lottery distributor for film.
The BFI remit now includes providing funding for film development and production, distribution (the P&A Fund), training and education through Skillset and First Light. It also takes on the strategic partnerships for film across the nations and funding in the English regions. The BFI will be responsible for UK film certification, which is the gateway to the UK film tax credit, and the MEDIA Desk UK, while Film London takes on responsibility of globally promoting the UK as the best place to make films through the British Film Commission.
To manage their new responsibilities, the BFI has strengthened its board, with BFI Chair Greg Dyke confirming five new Governors drawn from all sectors of the industry.
Representing a dynamic, hugely talented and diverse range of expertise they include: Josh Berger, the President and Managing Director, Warner Bros. Entertainment UK, Ireland and Spain; former MP and Cabinet Minister Rt. Hon James Purnell; BAFTA®-winning director and founder of FILMCLUB, Beeban Kidron (Bridget Jones, Edge of Reason); former Film London board member Lisbeth Savill, Head of Film and Television Practice at Olswang; and Matthew Justice, Film and TV producer and Managing Director of Big Talk.
The new Governors took up their posts from 1 April, replacing three retiring Governors, Eric Fellner, Caroline Michel and Peter Watson, plus two vacant posts. The BFI also welcomed 38 new colleagues from the UK Film Council, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity across all activities.
The Transitional Fund will go live in early May 2011 and give organisations one month in which to apply for the funding. Applicants will need to demonstrate that their funding for core activities has been significantly reduced or withdrawn for the financial year 2011-12, and as a result are unable to deliver to audiences.

Roulette (The Search for the Sunrise Killer)
by Linda Pendleton
Still free? Click Here to find out!
Police Detective Rebecca Storme, and her husband, veteran Detective Sergeant Peter Storme, both married more to the badge than each other, have inevitable conflict within their marriage, and their careers are put to the test when a psychopathic killer invades their peaceful Southern California community and turns it into a hotbed of fear and outrage.

The Last American Martyr
by Tom Winton
Still free? Click Here to find out!
It doesn't happen often, but every now and then one small soul rises from the crowded depths of obscurity and causes the earth to wobble on its axis. This last happened in 2008 when an unemployed doorman, in a secondhand Goodwill suit, stepped onto the worldwide stage in Stockholm and accepted The Nobel Prize for Literature.
In this me-me twenty-first century, Thomas Soles may very well be the last American martyr. This self-described "simple man" writes a simple book that resuscitates the all-but-dead international labor movement. The response to his thoughts and perceptions are astounding. All around the globe, from pole to pole, from America to Zimbabwe, the marching footsteps of workers, young and old, tremor the earth. But not everyone is pleased. There's a tight-knit, elitist clique that is absolutely livid over the thoughts and ideals that fill the pages of his book. And the moment Tom and his wife, Elaina, return home from Sweden, they realize just how angry this profit-hungry mob really is.
Mortified by the horrid scene that awaits them inside their New York tenement, the Soles' have no choice but to flee their longtime home. Hoping to find anonymity, they bounce all over America in an RV. But they don't find peace. Instead they become moving targets. Everywhere they go they're followed by a succession of life-threatening events.
Daughter of Joy
by Kathleen Morgan

Love, heartbreak, and triumph lie deep within the wilds of the Colorado highlands.
Abigail Stanton's whole life was rooted in her faith, a faith she now clings to for survival. After losing her husband and young son, Abby sets out alone, bereft, and heartsick. And when she is led to Conor MacKay's doorstep, the very foundation of her belief starts to shift. As the volatile rancher's new housekeeper, Abby is supposed to keep his affairs – and his capricious little girl – in order. Abby feels anything but order, though, when she and Conor are together.
Can love heal the wounds of the past? Or will Abby and Conor risk even greater losses than they have already suffered? The first in the Brides of Culdee Creek series, Daughter of Joy takes you on a journey of grief, intrigue, and redeeming love in the nineteenth-century Colorado highlands.
The order for the Brides of Culdee Creek series is as follows:
The Troubleshooter
by Austin S. Camacho
Still free? Click Here to find out!
A high powered Washington attorney buys an apartment building in the heart of the city, hoping to create low income housing for good families. Instead he finds the building occupied by squatters: drug dealers, winos and hookers intent on staying in place. Hannibal Jones is hired to free the building from them, but the people holding crack pipes are backed up by people holding guns. Hannibal soon finds himself up against a local crime boss and his mob connected father. But Hannibal realizes that his success or failure will determine the fate of a neighborhood, and the future of one small boy.

Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen: A Novel
Sasha Davis, smart and pretty, was once an all-American teenage beauty queen. Full of potential, she was the only student at her midwestern high school to attend college on the East Coast. But soon her promise begins to falter. After starting graduate school in New York, Sasha gets married and drops out of school to take a clerical job. Consigned to the role of trophy wife, and already feeling old at twenty-four, she lives in fear of turning thirty – the year, in her mind, when her beauty will fade and life as she knows it will end. While she still has time, she embarks on an adventure of self-discovery and sexual exploration. Only after entering a second marriage and finding herself trapped by her responsibilities as a mother, does she finally begin to figure out what's gone wrong.
Poignant, funny, and breathtakingly honest, Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen is a landmark in second-wave feminism and a must-read for anyone interested in what it really means to be a woman in America.

ISFAHAN, Iran (Kyodo) A uranium conversion facility and nuclear fuel plant in Isfahan, central Iran, were shown to Japanese media Wednesday as the United States and Europe continued to pressure the country about its atomic ambitions.
The conversion facility, which manufactures uranium hexafluoride as a raw material for uranium enrichment, forms the core of Iran's nuclear program in tandem with a uranium enrichment facility in Natanz.
The facility would be considered a prime military target if talks with the United States or Israel collapse and result in the use of force.
The viewing, which was restricted to Japanese media companies, was considered an unusual move for Iran. Some observers say the act was aimed at proving Iran is acting transparently in pursuing nuclear power so it can gain support from Japan, a "friendly country" that is distancing itself from the United States and Europe, which are leaning toward increasing sanctions.
Although the enrichment facility was undergoing maintenance, an engineer explained the entire process for manufacturing uranium hexafluoride from yellowcake, or uranium ore that has been crushed to a fine powder.
The engineer emphasized that the containers used to solidify and store uranium hexafluoride are sealed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, and placed under supervision.
In the nuclear fuel plant, fuel rods used for an experimental heavy-water reactor under construction in Arak, western Iran, were shown. But a manufacturing line for the Tehran research reactor fuel it has threatened to make on its own was not installed, and a manufacturing line for a light-water reactor to be used for future electricity generation also lay incomplete.
"Of course, we are facing some difficulties. For light-water reactors, we've been solving the problems step by step. As no one in Europe or the United States sells fuel to us, we do it ourselves," said Ali Saeidi, manager of the Iranian Fuel Assembly Co.
Construction of the enrichment facility began in 1997, and production started in 2004. According to an IAEA report, a total of 371 tons of uranium hexafluoride have been produced, with a portion of that used to enrich uranium at Natanz.

The Supreme Court has rejected the final appeal of a former Waseda University student sentenced to 14 years in prison for three gang rape convictions, judicial sources said Wednesday.
The top court's No. 2 Petty Bench decided Tuesday to uphold the Tokyo High Court's ruling in June that sentenced Shinichiro Wada, to 14 years, the sources said.
The high court ruled Wada, 31, an organizer of a student event club called Super Free, conspired with other club members to rape drunk women in such locations as his house in Tokyo and a bar in the Roppongi district in three cases in 2001 and 2003.
Wada's lawyers had sought a more lenient punishment, asserting lower courts erroneously recognized he was a ringleader. But Justice Yuki Furuta who presided over the top court's bench rejected the call.
Prosecutors indicted 13 other people in the Super Free scandal. All were found guilty and given prison sentences, which have been finalized.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bag is sturdy, and great for walking 'round town, or hitting the hills. I like the vertical front-zip pocket, as it makes everthing easier to find, and grab without all the stuff falling out. The hip belt is a good addition for when I'm out hiking, and I've just filled my water bottle. I have just enough room for an extra layer, something light and compressible (think anything light and down), a Nalgene, and a snack. The side pockets are kind of useless, but I've used them for a Clif bar and to keep other small items in. You definitely cannot fit your water bottle there, and expect it to stay. It will fall out. Thirteen is the perfect size for a day pack, and the suspension on this one is quite comfortable. It's also small enough that you could cinch it down and forget it was there, were you being chased by a bear or if you ended up needing to climb some rocks.
# 13 is my lucky number.
I bought the pack only a cople of months ago, but as it goes once again Arc'teryx stands up to the challeng everytime. I bought this pack because I travel a bit, and like to explore when in new places, I also bike hike climb and camp as much as I can. That said, I bought this bag cus it fits my deuter water bladder nosel 'big' as well as my mac. I have other daypacks but they usually end up being a little to hevy for a long ride, or to much room and I end up carring to much stuff. With this bag you get the best of both worlds and they always do a good job of making there items simple, sleek, and stylish enough.
I give it a 4 star, only because i havent had it long enough to know how long it may last, but knowng Arc'treyx im sure it will stand the test of time as well.
Great little backpack.
It is a perfect size for me. I am 4'11", and have very short torso. Only one thing I don't like about is the side pockets. Those are not deep enough to hold anything. There is no way to put a small water bottle. Wish it was deep enough. Other than that, no complaints.
Wish it would have worked out
Was a bit small for my needs but black and yellow are my colors. Ride all the Livestrong rides. Went with the next size up, all the features and craftmanship was great, returning was also very easy.
which one did you end up choosing ?
what's the max size hydration bladder this...
what's the max size hydration bladder this pack (Fly 13) holds?
Also - what are you recommended brand for best hydration packs?
Hey Katrina,
You probably couldn't fit more than 1.5L in this pack. I personally recommend Osprey for most all packs, especially hydration.
does this have exterior water bottle holder...
does this have exterior water bottle holder ?
The Fly 13 has two external mesh pockets, but they're more like shot glass pockets than water bottle holders. They're pretty small.

The Fly doesn't have a laptop sleeve. You could look a the Wasp or Mantis for a sleeve, but only slightly bigger.

Look at the plethora of steel 'touring' and 'cross' bikes on the market. All of them fit "38mm wide with fenders" . A lot of these frames are being cross produced in the same factories in Asia.
What's so radical in thinking there's untapped demand for simpler frames with 30mm more tire clearance? A supercrosscheck or frankencross or ninercross something of that nature would be a marketable hit. I think one of the reasons they aren't available are bikes aren't being 'jigged' (or whatever current bicycle mass production standards entail) that way in the factory.
I Look at my 80's Stumpjumper in the garage and the tire clearances are huge, even with straight tubing seatstays.

"Evidence, anecdote and methodology all support planning for roadway bike traffic."
link please - very keen to confirm if this is factual as the Ogre is high on my list.
Knowing if this is a frame deficiency or an issue with a particular pannier rack would be most helpful. I've read up on quite a few Ogre threads both here and in other forums and have not seen this mentioned so am hoping you can help.

I've been looking for a bike with a traditional looking frame with clearance for 700c x 2.5" tires. Maybe even designed for drop bars. The singular peregrine is close and the rivendell bombadill and hunquapillar are closer. The 26" long haul trucker can take tires up to about 2.2" which is pretty good. That one is a lot like the mtbs of yore. The co-motion divide is pretty close too. There are some options out there that are really close but not quite it. A traditional, lugged?, 1 1/8" steerer, touring bike with big tire clearance. That would be fun.
Final geometry for the Camargue is up. It's going to have more slope to the top-tube than I expected but I don't think it's going to be anthing like an Ogre or Fargo.

Well I bought myself an Ogre and can report I've found no issue with heel strike and panniers.
I utilise a Tubus Cosmo/Nova combo and Ortlieb Roller Classics front and rear with a 31 liter rack bag and Ultimate 5 handlebar bag (both Ortlieb).
Surely Australia has a few frame builders , the frame is something one at a time works OK,
components are the part that needs a mass production behind it.
rifraf, what's that rear hub? That's a good-looking setup.

I went with a 14 speed Rohloff to see what all the fuss was about as well as, being lazy, wanting a lower maintenance solution.
Front hub is a Son28 which charges my Edelux headlight, Philips Lumiring tail-light and with my E-werk and cache battery, I can keep my phone and Edge 800 topped up.
I utilised Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Dyad rims in an attempt to keep control of the builds spiralling weight.
A week ago I finished a months tour of the southern coast of Western Australia and found no real problems with my setup.
I had a front pannier slap my bb7 calliper which then needed adjustment (and I changed the angle of my pannier rack as well as my front Roller Classics "lower stay" position).
I had my non drive side Thorn crank come slightly loose which a half turn of the crank bolt has seemed to fix.
It manifested as a click in the left hand pedal.
Oh.... The Rohloff is heavy and somewhat embarrassingly noisy, especially in coasting in gears above 7 (8+)
but my particular peeve is that the cranks slowly turn when pushing the bike.
Uphill when your on the soft shoulder of a road with lots of deep gravel, your concentration can wander ending you up with a dig in the calf muscle to get your attention.
No further issues apparent at this stage.

Maybe the hub will quiet down as it breaks in some more. Those look like flat handlebars, are they? You like them for long rides?

The handlebars are Titec J-bars which are a type of liciensed Jeff Jones cut Loop bar copy.
I like em fine but will one day buy the originals which are slightly longer in length and subsequently offer more hand positions.

Oh yeah, those are nice. I test rode a bike with them, it belonged to the owner of the bike shop who was setting his bike up for long mostly off road tours. Of course, all I did was laps in his basement course, but they felt good. I ended up finding an old Bullmoose bar for my Rocky Mountain and I like it a lot, too, but I think the H bars are nicer.

I designed this pattern for some of the beginning sewing classes I teach. This is a great bag to use some of your larger feature prints on too! Since it's reversible make a few that are feminine on one side and masculine on the other side for when your significant other makes a shopping run!I based the size and handle shape of this tote directly from the standard plastic bags you get at the grocery store. Each bag will easily fit 2 full gallons of milk!This bag is comfortable to carry, easy to clean, and even easier to sew!
I don't know where you buy your milk, but 2 gallons of milk are wider that your 4 inch bottom. And 2 would be rather heavy to put in a bag. Besides, gallon milks have handles to carry them. Your description "holds 2 gallons of milk" is wrong - I think you mean half gallons.

Thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate new scholarship and fresh approaches, The Peoples of Canada: A Pre-Confederation History, fourth edition, traces the patterns of early immigration over the Bering Strait and across the Atlantic, while highlighting landmark political, economic, cultural, and social developments in the years before 1867. The first part of a two-volume set, the text now extends its coverage past Confederation to the milestone year of 1885, when the completion of the CPR united the nation, and the hanging of Louis Riel deepened the divisions between its French, English, and Aboriginal peoples.
Bringing all the hallmarks of previous editions together with significant new material and indispensable pedagogical tools, The Peoples of Canada, fourth edition, is the definitive introduction to pre-Confederation Canadian history.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Bisell's. We had a prime spot, very level, and the park was great to explore the area from. Not too far to Niagara Falls, close to the many vineyards and farms of the area. We would definitely go back. Our rig is 38' long. - Gus the Fireant
Jul 2011 - $50.00
No real problem with this place. We'd heard really good things and we did have fun but we weren't blown away. The big pool was nice but bear in mind anytime there's an "accident," the whole huge pool has to get evacuated while they do whatever it is they do to clean it. And there's no other real option at that point. Hundreds of people standing around for an hour waiting. It's located 2 hours from our house and not really worth the drive, so we won't go back for that reason. - Rockford
Jun 2010 - $70.00
Very nice RV Park. Sites are level however close together. Fire pits and picnic table at each site. Very clean Washrooms and showers ($). Very large Pool, splash pad and water slides were a hit with the kids. Nice mini put and playground as well. Picked cherries here, yum! Recommend for families. Close to Niagara Falls and many wineries as well. - klvs2travel

unexpectedly amazing product
This review is from: Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus – 3 User
Pros: This program will prevent you from getting viruses period. It also prevents many other kinds of threats. It's a very simple installation of a very small file. Scans are very fast; and you don't have to worry about updates.
Cons: I like the Internet Protection or Complete better since it has more bells and whistles. This one doesn't come standard with that stuff but it's cheaper... It does however offer great basic protection.
Other Thoughts: It works differently than just about any other kind of antivirus by using cloud protection. Files are compared to databases in a computer farm somewhere far away and they can tell if you have a virus or not. I got this antivirus during a promo; and I recommend it for basic protection. Personally I much perfer the Webroot Complete since it has all of the bells and whistles but.... if you just want basic protection from threats, this will do the job... and then some..

This review is from: Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus – 3 User
Pros: After AVG, Avast, MS Security essentials, ETC. this is a real breath of fresh air. When I plug in my 32GB USB flash drive (full of downloaded utilities) I can access it after 3 sec's - not the 30 seconds the other AV's take!! System scan takes 28 seconds and I can scan any folder/file with the right click context menu. Very few false positives and if I tell it to "ignore" it doesn't bother me again (some of my utilities "behave" like viruses). I still occasionally use Malwarebytes as a "second opinion" just to be sure.
Cons: Customer service is above average in quality but slow to respond. Expect days of waiting for email support and hold times of 20 to 60 minutes for phone support.
Other Thoughts: Gonna order this for friends and family

Misleading claim, product still in beta
This review is from: Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus – 3 User
Pros: 1: Real time protection module able to ran side by side with other av software.
Cons: 1: Misleading claim for full system scan by manufacturer:* After initial scan, full system scans typically take two minutes or less. Now their "full system scan" is basically a quick examining of certain system checkpoints which doesn't fully scan all the files in your PC.
Other Thoughts: Webroot secure anywhere is webroot 2012 version of products which incorporated Prevx engine. I am waiting for reviews by independent labs as of time of writing this.

Metaphors in Movies
John M. Kennedy
Dan L. Chiappe
IN THE OPENING of Memento (2001), a murderer kills his victim with a gunshot. But the scenes run backwards. The blood rises to the wound. The wound heals. The victim gets up. The murderer pockets his gun. The killer and the target separate and retreat their own ways.
Time's arrow is reversed at the start of a movie about a manhunter who can no longer form lasting memories. He has a few notes to guide himself. Plus he swiftly interprets whatever events surround him. One thing he does know for sure. He wants revenge. One of the memories leaking through from his life before his loss is that his wife was killed by a criminal, and the same criminal caused his injury.
What lessons could we learn from this clever beginning of Memento? Should we decide they are a knock-down argument against the thesis that movies are realistic? It would be easy to reach this conclusion. Time flies forwards, always. To show it in reverse is a violation of nature, Einstein's, Newton's, or Asimov's.
Here, our chief task is to describe the role unrealistic events can play as figurative devices, metaphors, and symbols in movies (Whittock, 1990). Along the way, we will take issue with the idea that each medium of representation (literature, radio, movies, TV, Internet, etc.) is a unique cultural product. We argue that each medium is like an island. Above the waterline, it is its own entity. But below, it is joined with all the others in an archipelago. When they use metaphors, movies rely on what is age-old, rich, and powerful in perception and cognition. This is what makes movie metaphors tick.
Memento begins backwards to symbolize the puzzle facing the central character. It is a vivid and imaginative but entirely figurative device because the image is not strictly true for the character, because time runs forwards for him, even though it leaves no memories. The figure also captures the movie's tactic in presenting the story, because the movie unfolds its story backwards. Though each scene is shown forwards, the order of the scenes is generally backwards (with some overlap of scenes to help keep the order straight). For example, secondary characters in the movie take advantage of our hero, but the first time we see an event, this is not obvious. The disheveled woman we thought had been attacked we later see has self-inflicted damage and is only pretending to be distraught. We take her at face value at first, and only later are we shown early events that reveal the deception being played on our hero.
Blood running back to a wound sums up the movie's clever tack. It is a capsule for the movie, an unrealistic image, a symbol. By the end of the movie, we—the audience— have information about its dual significance: the murder's place in the story and why it was shown backwards.

After over a year of debate, lobbying and negotiation, the European Council this week approved its version of the European General Data Protection Regulation, which would replace the decades-old EU Data Protection Directive.
A genuine movement may be under way in the EU government to define a new kind of "net neutrality" as a system where no single provider of Internet service can leverage its popularity for mere financial gain.
The telecoms package is nearly the law of the continent, and puts telecom operators in the position of defending a net that's more neutral than Parliament perceives it.
Check out the hottest mobile IT news for April 3, including the European end to the roaming charge, the future of mobile apps on BYOD devices, Thailand's smartphone shipment surge despite political troubles, the rise of the Chromebook and how some publishers hope to use mobile audio ads.
A key European Parliament committee has decided that some Internet services are exempt from net neutrality regulations. But in a sly maneuver, the list of which services those are has been deleted from its bill.
Microsoft does not encrypt its server-to-server data communications, a senior Microsoft official told a European parliament committee this week, Ars Technica reports.

Smith: Angels fan with cerebral palsy speaks baseball
ANAHEIM – After a few minutes with Kodey Flaxington, you start to understand his language. He's a chatterbox. "Can't shut him up," his father, Chris, says.
He could put on a head switch and type out a sentence on a computer keyboard. But that would take about two minutes.
No time for that. So he talked as clearly as the cerebral palsy would let him, in slurred and garbled syllables that those who know 18-year-old Kodey well can understand.
He shouted, "Oree Unger," and shrieked with glee on July 24 when he came to visit the Angels before their game against Kansas City at Angel Stadium.
Kodey twisted in his wheelchair, his back muscles torquing at the rods that straighten his spine. His hands, each with fingers bent as though they were about to pitch two knuckleballs, shook in fits and pounding punches.
His Mohawk-crowned head cocked back. His mouth opened wide. His eyes glowed and stared toward the heavens.
He said it again and again, "Oree Unger," and there, kneeling beside him, was his favorite player, Angels right fielder Torii Hunter.
Kodey saw the nine-time Gold Glove-winner coming before any of us did. He did tell us. After all, he speaks baseball.
"He can talk your ear off about the Angels," his father said. "He watches every game. Sometimes I hear him screaming, and I run in thinking something is wrong but it's Kodey telling me that I should watch because the Angels just hit a home run."
Photos: Kodey's visit with the Angels
Watching baseball is one of the few things that Kodey can share with everyone. It also is one of the few things he can do on his own, unlike almost everything else — eating, showering, dressing and getting from place to place — that requires help from Chris; his stepmother, Tonya; his older sister, Erica VandenDries; or her fiancé and his best friend Jeremy Brummett.
Kodey, who attends a continuing school where he is learning to operate a motorized wheelchair, seeks independence.
Following baseball as well as most sports gives him that. So he spends hours each day studying ESPN and MLB Network, memorizing players and statistics and furthering his understanding of the game he gets more than most people.
Brummett made that sports connection with Kodey six years ago. Brummett and his buddies, who have become known as the "K-Wheels Crew," take Kodey when they go out.
"He likes being with me and my friends because we treat him normal," said Brummett who pushed Kodey along the warning track during their Angel Stadium visit. "We watch a lot of sports together."
Kodey cheers when the Angels win, sulks when they lose a heartbreaker. He has even gotten mad and mumbled, "Even I can catch that," when a player fails to make a routine play.
"Because of cerebral palsy, the brain is there and everything is fine except it doesn't communicate properly with his muscles," Chris said. "He wants to be a regular kid."
But he wasn't born that way. His nine-hour birth was riddled with complications that didn't become fully apparent until Kodey was sixth months old and unable to sit up and hold his own bottle.
He has never walked. He would be about 5 feet if he could stand straight. He weighs maybe 80 pounds and has forearms that are skinnier than the handles on a Louisville Slugger.
Since Kodey was a child, Chris Flaxington has taken his second oldest of four children out to watch him play slo-pitch softball games around their La Mirada home.
"He loves being outside and following the games," said Chris Flaxington, 42, a manager at an Anaheim-based sausage manufacturer. "It made him feel like one of the fans and got him out of the house."
He has had four surgeries to correct his posture and adjust his hips. Infections landed him in the hospital. Back pain is chronic. A bout with pneumonia took him out of school this past spring.
While in the hospital, he watched the Angels, his favorite team since he was 6, on television.
All visitors, including the doctors and nurses, knew not to interrupt him while the game was on. So they waited for the commercials.
Kodey would have rather been home, watching the game from his Angels-decorated room with his brothers, Logan, 6, and Hunter, 5, sitting beside him on the bed.
He developed a fondness for Hunter after seeing the veteran's humor in television interviews and appreciating how he will lay himself out to make a catch, even in the ninth inning with the Angels well ahead.
"How's it going, man?" Hunter asked Kodey. "You doing good?"
Kodey, in Angels heaven, nodded and rolled his head left to right for a smile everyone could see.
Former Angel Rex Hudler, there to broadcast the game for the Royals, came over after Kodey lifted his arms, recognizing the man who called Angels games when Kodey was first discovering the team.
Other Angels, among them All-Stars Mark Trumbo, Mike Trout and C.J. Wilson and Manager Mike Scioscia, stopped by on their way to the clubhouse. Kodey glowed when slugger Albert Pujols approached and signed a few autographs.
He grew quiet when catcher Bobby Wilson laid a pair of used batting gloves in Kodey's lap.
"These are the gloves I used when I hit the home run the other night," Wilson said, stunning Kodey.
"Yeeeaaahhhh!" Kodey said in a celebration everyone could understand.
