I've been divorced 9 or 10 years after 29 yrs of marriage.. Sorry, I have a hard "time" with time. I started going out w/a lady a few months after the breakup about 8-1/2 years ago and we have a good time; however, I want to travel, take bike tours and go places I've never been and she wants to take care of her mom, 97, and live a rigid schedule. My business is conducted via phone,(no, I'm not a telemarketer) and I have tremendous amounts of free time. I am fortunate to be able to travel where and when I want. What should I do? Over the last few years, we've taken a lot of trips; however, they are only after a knock down, drag out war.
So Abbey, what should i do? I don't want to go to Mexico, Jamacia and Costa Rica by myself and I don't want to have a "war" to be able to travel--but------I don't want to go w/someone looking for a trip.
Thank you,

I have been to Groovy twice now, with two different stylists, and both times my hair colour has come out brilliantly. I got half a head of highlights, cut and blow dry and could not fault anything about it. Don't be put off by the tiny salon - everyone in there is very friendly and professional. It's not fussy like some London salons and I wasn't sure what to expect, but the quality of cut and colour is fantastic and the staff are so thorough. I have really thick hair and the foils always take ages, but at no point did I feel like I was being rushed, I just kept being offered tea. Great place, no fuss, lovely haircut.

Bus reading, part–OK, I've lost count
For some unknown reason, I regularly receive a monthly e-mail newsletter from King County Councilmember Bob Ferguson. (This is only unusual because I don't live in his district and don't remember signing up for it. Call me a civics nerd, but I do actually enjoy reading it.)
Councilmember Ferguson is a proud bus rider and regularly mentions Metro in his communiqués. His latest bus-related broadcast: The inaugural entry of Bob's Bus Books.
This month, I am starting a new section in my eNews to share what I have been reading on my bus commutes. A few of the …

Heads up: Big bus changes in 2010
The highlights:
• Another fare increase: Starting January 1st, a one-zone peak-hour trip will cost $2.25. (Note: Youth fares will not change.)
• No more Puget Passes: Need a bus pass? Get an Orca card. They're free until January 31st, and then they'll cost $5. (Note: All passes purchased in 2009–before the December 15th deadline–will be valid until they expire, and all employer-provided passes will be accepted until the employer makes the transition.)
• No more paper transfers between systems: You'll still be able to use paper transfers within Metro's system, but only Orca-based electronic transfers will be …

Gift-wrapped buses
In case anyone else is confused about why we're seeing wrapped buses again–despite the fact that the Council banned them three years ago and did not authorize partial wraps until a few weeks ago–I think I finally understand well enough to explain:
Starting in 2007, Metro was prohibited from selling bus ads that covered any part of the vehicle's windows–not, specifically, bus wraps. At that point, Metro's ad vendor, Titan, started trying to find advertisers who were willing to create wraps that did not cover bus windows. (This was not easy, since most ad templates do cover …

A couple of times during the life of this blog, I've posted holiday shopping tips for bus chicks. (This is somewhat amusing, since I'm really, really bad at shopping, but hey.) It recently occurred to me, however, that I've never posted tips for holiday shopping for bus chicks–as in, suggestions for bus-chick-appropriate holiday gift purchases. Of course, there are always the practical options, like a sturdy, compact umbrella (with a strap and cover, of course) or a pair of cute, bus-friendly shoes (at least one young, bus-chick-loving gentleman has managed to get this right), but …

Week in review: 8 things we learned
Our readers are not afraid to get close to creepy crawling things
Taken in Melbourne, Australia. Photo by Peter Kinowski
We already knew DPR readers are a talented lot, but since we started asking for submissions for semi-regular Readers Showcase articles from our various forums we've been consistently amazed at the quality of the photos submitted. This past week we highlighted the Still Life and Macro Photography forum, with a simple request asking forum members for their best macro shots. Not surprisingly the results were stunning - and kind of creepy.
In fact, the submissions were almost entirely comprised of very close up pictures of things with lots and lots of legs. And mandibles. And weird eyeballs. Being brave, these things did not bother DPR staffers as we made our showcase selection. Nope, not a bit. But if they did, just hypothetically, making that selection would have been a tough job...

Deagle I87
well i am on the last boss battle and it is really bullshit. im on expert and he doesnt miss a single note unless you hit him with a powerup. now the powerups are farely easy to get but the boss uses an attack right b4 u get the powerup. so it is almost impossible to get the powerup depending on what powerup the boss uses first. it is really all luck because if the boss uses a lefty flip one time he might use whammy bar the next so it is random. i dont like the battle system at all because of this right here. the hole thing is favored to the boss and it is luck if u win. you do have to be skilled but that isnt all of it. trust me because i have the skill part and it jus depends on wat powerup the boss gets if i can get past it. it is just a uneven match because of the fact that they give every possible advantage to him. i think neversoft did a good job with the boss battles but ruined it with the stupid powerups. way to go neversoft. ruining a hole game with stupid pointless powerups.

It's yours...
It's yours...
He lives near San Francisco, makes more than $50,000 per year, and is voting for the billionaire to fight against political correctness.
For several days, I've been corresponding with a 22-year-old Donald Trump supporter. He is white, has a bachelor's degree, and earns $50,000 to $60,000 per year.
He lives near San Francisco.
"I recently became engaged to my Asian fiancée who is making roughly 3 times what I make, and I am completely supportive of her and proud she is doing so well," he wrote. "We've both benefitted a lot from globalization. We are young, urban, and have a happy future planned. We seem molded to be perfect young Hillary supporters," he observed, "but we're not. In 2016, we're both going for Trump."
At first, we discussed Bill Clinton.
Last week, I wrote an article asking why Trump supporters aren't bothered that their candidate called Clinton a shameful abuser of women who may well be a rapist. After all, Trump used to insist that Clinton was a victim of unfair treatment during his sex scandals. Either Trump spent years defending a man that he believed to be a sexual predator, even welcoming him as a guest at his wedding, or Trump is now cynically exploiting a rape allegation that he believes to be false.
Finally, an explanation for Bitchy Resting Face Nation
Here's something that has always puzzled me, growing up in the U.S. as a child of Russian parents. Whenever I or my friends were having our photos taken, we were told to say "cheese" and smile. But if my parents also happened to be in the photo, they were stone-faced. So were my Russian relatives, in their vacation photos. My parents' high-school graduation pictures show them frolicking about in bellbottoms with their young classmates, looking absolutely crestfallen.
It's not just photos: Russian women do not have to worry about being instructed by random men to "smile." It is Bitchy Resting Face Nation, seemingly forever responding "um, I guess?" to any question the universe might pose.
This does not mean we are all unhappy! Quite the opposite: The virile ruler, the vodka, the endless mounds of sour cream—they are pleasing to some. It's just that grinning without cause is not a skill Russians possess or feel compelled to cultivate. There's even a Russian proverb that translates, roughly, to "laughing for no reason is a sign of stupidity."
U.S. dynamism is in the dumps: Americans are less likely to switch jobs, move to another state, or create new companies than they were 30 years ago (or 100 years ago). What's going on?

A rock structure, built deep underground, is one of the earliest hominin constructions ever found.
In February 1990, thanks to a 15-year-old boy named Bruno Kowalsczewski, footsteps echoed through the chambers of Bruniquel Cave for the first time in tens of thousands of years.
The cave sits in France's scenic Aveyron Valley, but its entrance had long been sealed by an ancient rockslide. Kowalsczewski's father had detected faint wisps of air emerging from the scree, and the boy spent three years clearing away the rubble. He eventually dug out a tight, thirty-meter-long passage that the thinnest members of the local caving club could squeeze through. They found themselves in a large, roomy corridor. There were animal bones and signs of bear activity, but nothing recent. The floor was pockmarked with pools of water. The walls were punctuated by stalactites (the ones that hang down) and stalagmites (the ones that stick up).
In the 1990s, A.J. Benza learned first hand how the real-estate developer got his name––and his net worth––in all the New York City papers.
Earlier this month, I heard A.J. Benza, the host of the celebrity-scandal show "Case Closed with A.J. Benza," tell the podcast host Adam Carolla about his younger days as a gossip reporter in New York City. He hung out with celebrities until the wee hours of the morning, reported out sensational rumors, and constantly traded favors in order to get juicy tidbits for columns at Newsday and the New York Daily News. Most trades involved information he wanted about a particular person at a particular moment––and he would then owe his source a favor in the future.
"Donald Trump was the biggest guy in the world with that," he said. "Trump spent every morning on the phone with me, with Page 6––he loved to get his name in the paper. As a result, he would drop dimes on other people in every industry he knew dirt on. You put the story in the paper, and then, three days later, you say, 'Donald Trump was at a Knicks game with this supermodel.' And he's happy. That's all it took."
A conversation about how Game of Thrones's latest twist fits in with George R.R. Martin's typically cliché-busting portrayal of disability
In 2014, a few media outlets ran stories diagnosing Game of Thrones's Hodor as having expressive aphasia, a neurological condition restricting speech. Some aphasia experts pushed back, saying that while Hodor has often been described as "simple-minded" or "slow of wits," aphasia only affects linguistic communication—not intelligence.
A real-time chronicle of Donald Trump's unpresidential statements.
People will look back on this era in our history. Here's a running chronicle from James Fallows on the ways in which Trump has been unpresidential in an unprecedented way. (If you'd like to flag examples to include, please let us know.)
Our peshmerga are the best fighting force against ISIS in Iraq. But we cannot force Sunni and Shia Arabs to live together in peace.
This week marked the start of offensives ultimately aimed at retaking two of ISIS's last major urban strongholds—Raqqa, the group's de facto capital in Syria, and Fallujah, the first major Iraqi city to fall to ISIS some two years ago. The final prize, Mosul, seems to remain out of reach for the foreseeable future, despite indications a year ago that a battle to retake the city could come any day. An Iraqi army offensive launched in late March stalled quickly.
Mosul is Iraq's second-largest city. ISIS wrested it from Iraqi government control in 2014 in its first major show of strength, and it is where Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a "caliphate" and demanded the allegiance of the world's Muslims. Taking it back will be essential to winning the war against ISIS. But as fighters opposed to ISIS try to advance elsewhere on the battlefield, little is being done to promote the reconciliation between Shia and Sunni Arabs that Iraq really needs—both to construct a force capable of beating ISIS, in Mosul and beyond, and to create the political conditions to prevent its return.
As I learned when I met her, the late author believed that true arrogance lay in denying one's own specialness—and denying the specialness of others.
"You may now kiss my cheek," said Maya Angelou. Her deep voice hung in the air, filling the large dining room inside of her Harlem home.
Stunned, I sat there for a minute. I had never been asked at the end of an interview to kiss someone else's cheek.
It was October 2008 and I had flown to New York after haggling for months for an interview for an in-flight magazine cover story. Prior to the interview, a set of "communication courtesy" instructions for meeting Angelou were emailed to me, much like a list I imagine boarding schools send out to students for review before making an appearance.
It said:
Greeting & Introductions
Dr. Angelou will greet you by your last name. She will use your title and your last name in all communications. Dr. Angelou may ask you the origin of your name. You should greet her as Dr. or Mrs. Angelou. Please address her staff as Mr., Ms., or Mrs. - using their last name.
Dr. Angelou would like to receive an agenda prior to the meeting.
Meeting Dialogue
Dr. Angelou will often pause prior to speaking or when completing her thought.
Please hold your thought until she is finishing speaking.
Foreign Language
Dr. Angelou speaks five different languages. She will enjoy speaking French, Spanish, Hebrew, Italian, or Fanti with you.
During formal business, meetings Dr. Angelou ask the men to wear a jacket and tie and women in appropriate business attire.
Room Temperature
Dr. Angelou requires warm rooms. You may choose to remove your jacket or loosen your tie if you find the room too warm.
Dr. Angelou would like for participants in the same meeting to arrive together on time.
Dr. Angelou will sit in the chair at the end of the table to have access to her staff and phones.
Food Allergy
Dr. Angelou is highly allergic to seafood. Please do not eat any seafood prior to meeting with her.
But we're better off believing in it anyway.
For centuries, philosophers and theologians have almost unanimously held that civilization as we know it depends on a widespread belief in free will—and that losing this belief could be calamitous. Our codes of ethics, for example, assume that we can freely choose between right and wrong. In the Christian tradition, this is known as "moral liberty"—the capacity to discern and pursue the good, instead of merely being compelled by appetites and desires. The great Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant reaffirmed this link between freedom and goodness. If we are not free to choose, he argued, then it would make no sense to say we ought to choose the path of righteousness.
Today, the assumption of free will runs through every aspect of American politics, from welfare provision to criminal law. It permeates the popular culture and underpins the American dream—the belief that anyone can make something of themselves no matter what their start in life. As Barack Obama wrote in The Audacity of Hope, American "values are rooted in a basic optimism about life and a faith in free will."

One Raleigh man has a plan to contain the oil in the Gulf it and a farm in Pitt County is helping.
A crop called Kenaf, being grown at a farm in Fountain, is usually put into waste water treatment plants to help them run more efficiently. But, Walt Brown with R.F. Wastewater says it can be used on the oil spill too. That's because it's the most oil absorbent product in the world.
Brown's plan is to mix the kenaf with microbes, which are bacteria and then dump the product in the gulf's wetlands. Brown says, "Then the microbes go crazy eating all the oil and then every 20 to 40 minutes that population of microbes doubles, so basically eat the kenaf and then move outside to oily marsh to consume oil as it goes through the marsh."
The product is being produced at Eric Pierce's farm in Fountain and is ready to go. All they're waiting for is a thumbs up from the EPA.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, April 24, 2010; A10
Sales of newly built homes shot up 27 percent in March -- the largest monthly gain in nearly five decades -- as mild weather and a lucrative tax credit pumped up demand for homes in all four regions of the country, according to federal data released Friday.
The Commerce Department reported that new-home sales jumped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 411,000, reversing February's record low and far exceeding the expectations of many experts who track the industry.
"We needed a grand slam . . . and we got it," Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight, wrote in a note to clients.
Sales are up nearly 24 percent from March 2009, although they remain far below the peak in mid-2005.
Economists disagree on whether the sales momentum can be sustained, especially after the tax credit expires. But many economists say that some buyers who were deterred by the storms that gripped parts of the country in February clearly were rushing to beat the tax credit deadline.
To receive the credit -- $8,000 for some first-time buyers and $6,500 for certain repeat buyers purchasing a main residence -- buyers have to sign a contract by April 30 and complete the purchase by July 30.
David Crowe, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, said he expects new-home sales to plateau after this month, although he thinks the dramatic new-home sales declines of the past are over. The government's new-home sales figures capture contracts signed, not completed purchases.
"I'm expecting that the firming of house prices, continued low mortgage interest rates and an improving economy will be the momentum that carries us beyond the end of the tax credit," Crowe said.
The March sales gains were led by a 43.5 percent increase in the South, which includes the Washington region, and a 35.7 percent increase in the Northeast. Sales rose 5.7 percent in the West and 4.3 percent in the Midwest.
Meanwhile, the supply of new homes for sale is shrinking. The inventory dropped to 228,000 from 233,000 in February. At the current sales pace, it would take 6.7 months to sell these homes.
The median price of a new home fell 3.4 percent to $214,000 from $221,600 in February -- but it is up more than 4 percent from March 2009.

This probably gets asked relatively often, but the answers probably change too, so My two cameras (a 7 year old P&S and a 5 year old DSLR) have died, so I need a camera to replace them. The main use is cycle touring, with a bit of hiking. I'd really like something rugged, and weatherproof if possible. (I don't need to take it kayaking, but I'd like not to worry about a few drops of rain). One hand operation is essential, and a long battery life is a big plus (4 days without a charge). Fitting in a jersey pocket is sort of nice, but not really essential - I have lots of other bags (from Revelate) that it could tuck into.
Given all the above requirements, I would prefer a compact that is more DSLR-like: I would absolutely love to be able to fit a polariser, if any such such camera existed.
Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Flourishes Sneak Peek
I promised for today a peek at one of the new sets Flourishes will be releasing tonight. This set is called Signs of Spring, and it is gorgeous!! Look for all three new Flourishes sets at Stamper's Dream tonight at 9pm EST!
For me, the showpiece of the set is this large daffodil - love it! I stamped it five times on watercolor paper, heat embossed, watercolored with my water brush and re-inkers, then layered the flower using the paper tole technique. Here's a look from the side, so you can see all the dimension:
I put together this next card using the smaller flower in the set:
Again, I stamped on watercolor paper, heat embossed and watercolored. The freshness of the pale blue and yellow color combo always makes me think Spring.
Also previewing this set today are Stamper's Dream Team members Denise Marzec and Kimberly Crawford. I can't wait to see what they've done! In case you missed yesterday's preview, head to the Stamper's Dream blog for links to all the Stamper's Dream Team designers. A big thanks to Michelle, Stamper's Dream owner, for letting me play along with her awesome Dream Team!
For You:
Stamps: Signs of Spring (Flourishes)
Paper: watercolor paper, Basic Grey "Sugared" dp
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Barely Banana, So Saffron, More Mustard, Summer Sun, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Always Arichoke re-inkers
Accessories: water brush, clear EP, sewing machine, SU Regal Rose 5/8" grosgrain, paper piercer, Martha Stewart cornice border punch
Size: 5 1/2" square
The Richness I Achieve:
Stamps: Signs of Spring (Flourishes)
Paper: watercolor paper, Basic Grey "Figgy Pudding" (I used the back side for the pale yellow horizontal strip); K&Co's Classic K Cardstock Pad (these are pre-scored, double-sided papers sized to be an A2 card base when folded. Instead of using them as card bases, I cut them apart and use them for layering. I find them in the pre-made card kit section at my local Michael's)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Old Olive re-inkers, Antique Linen Distress
Accessories: white polka-dot ribbon (May Arts), Spellbinders tag die, Martha Stewart lace border punch, sewing machine
Size: 5 1/2" square

Amy could you please tell us which Basic Grey set your papers came from??? It would help us paper challenged people!! lolReplyDelete
Hi Amy! I love how you're watercoloring turns out! So, are you just dipping your aquapainter in reinker ink? Or do you have a different type of water utensil that you use? It seems like my aquapainter lets out too much water and my stuff never turns out like yours. Thus the reason I don't watercolor! Haha!ReplyDelete
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Amy, your cards are so wonderful! Have you ever made a bad card? I think not! These are just beautiful in typical Amy style! What a great set this is..its gonna be a good seller I bet! You rocked this sneak peak!ReplyDelete
your dimensional daffodil is incredible, not to mention your color choices.ReplyDelete
Amy, this is gorgeous!!! I'm just getting caught up with my surfing and you will be amazed to see that I did the same treatment with the daffodil! I guess that daffodil just screams out for dimension. You did a fabulous job with this!ReplyDelete

2005 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
All I can say is the car is fantastic. Okay those of you that read this review. If you ever buy an earlier Impala. Buy one with a 3.8 okay. They have the fewest of problems. My big plus with the vehicle is the reliability! I mean problems I have seen on this forum are probably really picky people. Although if you look at it. My 2005 Impala has always been reliable. Never broken down before ever!! I love this car and recommend that if you buy this car. Buy one with a 3.8. If you buy a newer Impala do not buy the 3.9 engine. Get the one with the 3.6 liter. Hope this helps you all.
My favorite features is the ride, it is nice a smooth. Also the stereo speakers from factory can put out a bass like no factory speaker I ever heard! The fact that this car requires very low maintenance to keep it running. However if you give it high maintenance this car has the ability to go up to 300,000 miles without having issues.
The dash cluster is one thing that needs improvement. I had one go out, but that is it! Nothing else wrong with it in my opinion.
2005 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this car 3 years ago in hopes i would have a good car I drove out of the dealer and the car was pulling to the right bad. I took it back a couple days later to have them tell me it was something called torque steer. It turned out to be a wheel bearing. I replaced it on my own the dealer didn't pay for it and don't you know that torque steer was no longer there. I replace wheel bearings every 6mo. About 4 months later my radio started making crazy noises even when the car was off and all doors were closed. The radio stopped working all together a short time later. Then i noticed puddles of water on the floor in the back seat dont have a clue where its coming from. My dash goes crazy
When i no longer own it
hmmm radio,wheel bearings the fact water leaks into the car and causes shorts in the wireing that runs under the carpet. Maybe Chevrolet needs to recall a few things on these cars. I have read many other reviews from people having the same problems like me.
2005 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
Well i purchased my impala a few months ago and i have to tell you l just enjoy it so much. i love the body style and everything. i really think it's a nice car.
driving experience
2005 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
The Impala is not the fanciest car out there but it's super reliable and solid sedan. I had no problems with this car other than ordinary maintenance and it had 105,000 miles on it. It's built so you can do most fixes by yourself.
Fold down rear seats, great stereo, comfortable. Really fuel efficient for 205 horses.
2005 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
This 3.8 v-6 Engine is well known to run over 300,000 miles which is why i bought it i have always owned Gm and have had almost complete success. I made sure i got the 3.8 cause the 3.4 was well known to have problems. i had a 1993 grand prix with the 3.4 with many problems. other than that, the other 6 GM cars I've owned i have run well over 200k miles EACH. I do most of the work on my own cars and have only replaced an hvac temperature sensor for the drivers side in my impala in the two years I've owned it (except oil changes of course). fuel economy is not as good as newer models but they reduced the cars size a lot on 2006 and later models. i am very satisfied. a malibu will be next.
love the auto dimmer on review mirror and the display with current mpg and outdoor temp.
Bucket seats get uncomfortable on long trips, but this design is not manufactured anymore so whats the point in suggestions :)

Vancouver Victory FC men's soccer club recently unveiled its crest and team colors for the inaugural Evergreen Premier League season, which is scheduled to begin in May.
The club's official colors are Columbia blue, white and carbon black. The logo features a shield shape with a Victory Ship. Just above and below the vessel are rows of five and seven stars, honoring the year 1857 when Vancouver was incorporated. Victory Ships were built in Vancouver to aid the American effort in World War II.
The Vancouver Victory FC crest was designed by Jeremy Koering, owner of Koer Creative of Vancouver. In a press release, the club said it is in the process of developing an official website and a design for its uniforms.
The Victory are one of eight clubs in the Evergreen Premier League, which describes itself as an elite men's soccer league for college and post-college players. Last month, Victory FC owner Barrett Goddard named Clark College coach Biniam Afenegus as the club's first head coach. His assistants are Filomon Afenegus and Sean Janson.

Thanks! Yeah, the general reaction from people who have seen the actual painting have been underwhelmed when seeing it on screen. For some reason some paintings hold up better than others when being digitized or reproduced. Ah well!

Mi Dios Es Mi Fortaleza Group
Update on Mi Dios Es Mi Fortaleza GroupMi Dios Es Mi Fortaleza Communal Bank is made up of 11 members, very hardworking people who strive to improve themselves personally. These members are heads of family with children in their care. They're from the town of Malpaisillo, known as a productive agricultural region.
Matilde del Socorro, the coordinator of the communal bank, is in charge of the bank's smooth management and of the members making their payments on time. Her business is a "pulpería" located in her home. A pulpería's a small store that sells small quantities of staple food items for the home: rice, beans, oil, matches, Maggi-brand soup packets, small envelopes of coffee and of shampoo, tomatoes, bread, milk, and eggs.
She needs the loan to invest in working capital to stock her small business and continue working to earn her family's daily bread.
Mi Dios Es Mi Fortaleza Communal Bank thanks the Kiva lenders for the help they give to low-income people and poor countries like Nicaragua so they can have a decent living.
Previous Loan DetailsThe communal bank "Mi Dios Es Mi Fortaleza" [My God is my Strength] is made up of 10 entrepreneurs that came together to support and encourage each other and to help each business owned by the members to get ahead. This communal bank has been working with Fundación León, which has provided them l... More from Mi Dios Es Mi Fortaleza Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Midfielder Xavi admits Di Maria to Barcelona would be difficult
XaviadmitsBarcelonawould find it difficult to signAngel Di MariafromReal Madridbefore the end of the transfer window.
Xavi admits Barcelona would find it difficult to sign Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid before the end of the transfer window.
Carlo Ancelotti revealed on Thursday that the Argentina international wants to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, leading to speculation that Barcelona could make a move for the winger.
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have both explored the possibility of signing Di Maria this summer, but Xavi has all but ruled out the possibility of the 26-year-old joining Barcelona.
"He is a great player," said Xavi. "But fact is that he is a Real Madrid player at the moment.
"The past has shown that it is always difficult for a Madrid player to move to Barcelona and the other way around."
Meanwhile, Barcelona will probably have to make do without the services of Neymar in Sunday's La Liga game against Elche due to an ankle sprain and Xavi believes the Brazil international will be missed.
"I don't know yet whether Neymar is available for Sunday's game, but he is a very important player for Barcelona," the playmaker confessed.
"It would be big handicap for the team if he misses the match due to injury."
