"Huntsville, Alabama" Huntsville by tony248
Huntsville Travel Guide: 65 reviews and 222 photos
Huntsville, Alabama is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Marshall is the hardware fabrication center for NASA. In the past, this was the place where rockets destined to take men to the moon were designed, built, and tested. Today it's the place to go to see U.S. sections of the International Space Station being built.
The Marshall Center has created many different rockets and space hardware and you can see it all at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. The Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center in Florida is impressive but this is breathtaking. Here you can get up close to the rockets and hardware that have both put Americans in space and helped to protect our nation.
Pictured here is the only Saturn 5 'stack' (assembled upright) to be seen in the world. The people you see in the foreground do not give an accurate impression of the true size of the Saturn 5. Standing next to this huge rocket you wonder how it ever got off the ground. Still amazes me.
Visit the web page for the Space & Rocket Center at :
US Space & Rocket Center

Huntsville Al 35805
Phone Number: 800-637-7223
NOTE! The price for tickets varies depending on what you want to see and do. Check the Centers web page or call them to get details.
NOTE! (09-20-2007) The bus tour of Marshall Center that was a part of the Rocket Center package is no longer offered. A shame since you can no longer see the sites of early rocket development. The picture of the engine test bunker is one of those sites. I have more photos that I will scan and post. No reason was given for dropping the tour but I would guess it's because of security.
The web site for Marshall Space Flight Center is :

Our space program is going to see some major changes in the near future and I encourage readers to visit the Marshall Center site for information on future efforts by NASA to expand the exploration of space.
I'm just a space and rocket nut. One of these days, I'll get my broken scanner replaced and upload more pictures.
It's hard to believe but the U.S. started it's space program from junk. Really! What you see here is the control center for rocket engine tests. If it looks like three old railroad tank cars lined up and cover with dirt, your right. Money was so tight in the beginning, engineers had to use whatever they could find to construct test stands and control bunkers. Forget $500 hammers. Often a trip to the local hardware provided needed tools and parts.
Brave. Fearless. Insane. What traits did a man have to have to willingly ride one of these early rockets? This is an Atlas rocket. It blew up more often then it flew. Something odd about this display in the Rocket Park is the air compressor connected to the rocket. Why does it have to have the air compressor? The Atlas structure was so weak (got to save weight somehow) that it would collapse under it's own weight if the fuel tanks were not kept pressurized. John Glenn was the first man to ride atop the Atlas. He knew that riding the Atlas was more than just dangerous. It was a good bet that he would be blown to bits on launch. He also knew that it was the only rocket that we had that could get an American into orbit. That mission was all important at the time.
The red spot on the photo is a camera boo-boo.

High School Correspondent
Virginia Duals Preview
The Virginia Duals, Known as "The grand daddy of them all", is celebrating its 33rd year of hosting this event. It started back in 1981 when North Carolina State won the first ever National College Division. Years later in 1999, the Virginia Duals added the American/Small School Division, won by Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pa. Since then on, wrestling powerhouses like Oklahoma State, Minnesota and Penn State have participated in this event.
High school teams were first included in the event in 1995 with the National High School Division, Parkersburg South, West Virginia won the first championship. Two additional divisions were added for high school competition the following year. The American High School Division that serves as dual-meet with a mix of national, regional, and local teams; while the Black and Blue High School Division is mostly made up of Virginia local teams.
Over the Eighteen years many elite teams have won this event, teams like—Nazareth(PA), Great Bridge(VA), Archbishop Moeller)OH), Grundy(VA), Northampton(PA), Christiansburg(VA), Wyoming-Seminary(PA) and most recently Canon-McMillan(PA). Great Bridge high school is the only team that has won this event four times and has been a finalist eight times.
Championship first round matches start on Friday at 9 a.m. ET in the upper bracket and continue with lower bracket matches at 11 a.m. Quarterfinals and consolation first round matches will follow at 1 p.m. (upper bracket) and 3 p.m. (lower bracket). Wrestling will then continue on Saturday at 8 a.m. with a pair of matches involving squads that went 0-2, then at 10 a.m. with the consolation second round. The championship finals will kick-off at 2:00 p.m., two rounds of consolation at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., before the first and third place matches at 8:30 p.m.
Wrestlers ranked wrestling in this event:
120 pounds
10. Coy Ozias (Christiansburg)
126 pounds
1. Joey Dance (Christiansburg)
132 pounds
3. Brandon Jeske (Cox)
6. J.R. Wert (Christiansburg)
8. Scott Delvecchio (South Plainfield)
11. Dennis Gustafson (Forest Park)
138 pounds
4. Anthony Ashnault (South Plainfield)

170 pounds
7. Zach Epperly (Christiansburg)
195 pounds
20. Chris Pagan (Osceola)
285 pounds
6. Aaron Bradley (Nazareth)
Teams ranked:
11. South Plainfield (NJ)
36. McDonough (MD)
37. Christiansburg (VA)
Dual-Meet Analysis
Top Bracket
South Plainfield (NJ) is the clear favorite and the No. 1 Seed at this event. They finished 3rd in 2012 and 2010, in 2011 they finish in 4th place. In the first round they will meet Cave Springs High (VA) and should wrestle the winner of the Nazareth (PA) and Ocean Lakes (VA) dual. Nazareth is one of the few schools that have participated in this event since the first Virginia dual tournament in 1995. Nazareth has won the National division three times and has been a top four team eleven times. Camden Catholic (NJ) the No. 6 rank team in single class state New Jersey, should wrestle St. Christopher's (VA) 11 time Virginia Prep state champions in the first round. Waiting for either Camden Catholic or St. Christopher's will be either Freedom (PA) or Christiansburg (VA) 11 time Virginia Class AA state champions.
Bottom Bracket
The bottom bracket will be fun to watch with four Virginia teams, one from Colorado, New Jersey, Florida and Maryland. No. 3 seed Colonial Forge (VA) will dance with fellow Virginian school, New Kent High in the first round. Colonial Forge should advance and wait for the winner of the Arvada West (CO) versus Kissimee Osceola (FL). Second seed McDonough (MD) should meet and win over Smithfield High(VA) in the first round, to meet with the winner of the Timber Creek(NJ) versus Forest Park(VA).If Timber Creek advances and meets McDonough High in the quarterfinals, we might see a match with No. 19 at 145 pounds Jack Clark versus three-time New Jersey state placer, Brandon Keller.
AWN Finalist
1-South Plainfield
The finals should be pitting South Plainfield versus McDonogh in a rematch of last year's third place match won by South Plainfield. It should be a physical match with both teams exchanging the team lead until probably the final match of the dual-meet.

If you booted up your Wii U this morning you were probably greeted by a prompt that asked you to update your Wii U, which made you head to Wii U Daily to discover why. This firmware update is a minor update that contains "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments".
While that's not quite the changelog you were probably looking for, it should be noticed that this incremental update is probably a symptom of the December update that Nintendo is prepping which will bring much bigger things like combining the balances between the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. We're almost there!

maté, green tea and lemon grass, lemon flavor
great tasting tea, even when it gets cold. I especially like that I can brew two cups of tea using just one teabag - a cup in the morning and one in the afternoon.
I love this tea so much. I have multiple detox teas before and I always come back to this one. Tastes delicious and is such a cool down for a stressful day.
I liked the idea of a detox tea, but this one didn't seem to do much, especially for the price. The flavor is okay - really like lemongrass. The best thing about this product is the muslin tea bags.
While it is a bit expensive, it is definitely worth it! It is delicious, and a perfect afternoon pick me up!
I have a cup every night before bed. It has a great taste. Perfect way to end the day. At first I was surprised by the taste I expected something stronger. This tea is perfect.

#98 Club - 2012
Application form available HERE
Latest News
2012 News
Paul is getting ready for the new season and is busy prepping the 98 Club R6 and StakStop WR450 and is also busy looking for a corporate sponsor for his new aquisition, a Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade).
The plan for the 2012 season is to start at Oliver's Mount, Scarborough in April, on to the NW200 and from there to the TT. The rest of the season will include the Aberdare Park Road Races, the back to Ireland for the Ulster GP and the Cock o' the North & Gold Cup at Oliver's Mount. The Southern 100 is a possibility if dates & funds permit.
For the 3 main events of the season Paul has teamed up with his long time friend and fierce adversary Phil Harvey under the "Team GoKart / 98Club" so look out for the new livery on the R6. Graphics for both bikes were provided by mugs4u.com and new team clothing will be available soon from their website. See the press release on the new team here.
Paul's new shirt designs celebrate the Olympic year and are available now from Trivia crack cheats.
The event was a total washout, what with heavy rain, a bomb scare in the paddock on race day, followed by a massive oil leak on the racing line from "Church" to the "Juniper" chicane. The organisers eventually made the tough decision to abandon the meeting.
Paul managed only two laps on ther 98 Club R6 due to unlucky tyre choice in changeable weather and just the warm up and sighting lap on the Superbike before the meeting was called off.
IoM TT
With problems at the NW200 and issues during practice (oil leaks on the track, inclement weather and the unfortunate and untimely death of Derek Brien) there was something of a dark cloud over the meeting.
The 98 Club R6 was on topform, having been rebuilt by Mark Hanna of R & R Performance for the 2011 season, and Paul brought it home in a very respectable 20th place in race 1. Incredibly he improved on this later in the week and achieved an amazing 13th in race 2. Our deepest sympathies are extended to the family of Derek Brien who sadly lost his life in race 1.
Many thanks to Neil Hallett who kind supplied the Hallet Aviation superbike for the TT. Paul was going well on it after some issues with set up but sadly had to retire from both 1000cc races with mechanical problems.
The meeting started wet on Saturday morning which produced a lack of grip on both bikes (98 Club Honda RS250 & StakStop WR450); Paul had them sorted ready for the races as the sun was coming out and drying the track.
The performance of the RS250 was plagued by choking issues which caused a lack of power on the straights and lead Paul to reduce the jet size. It was later found that there was a bad electrical connection in the powervalve system. Despite this Paul finshed 2nd and 3rd in the two 250cc races
The StakStop 450 ran well and Paul repeated his 250 performance with 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the mugs4u.com King of the Singles races.
Paul had a marvellous meeting in Yorkshire and repeated his achievements in Aberdare. The little bike was flying and Paul took a 2nd and a 3rd place finish on the StakStop WR450.
The Club #98 R6 was running brilliantly and Paul was on form with a 1st and 4th place in the 175cc/1300cc B final races. He also managed 11th in the Northern 600cc final with some fast lap times: the win was just what Paul needed to cheer him up and motivate him for the Ulster GP in August.
The first practice was stopped due to the horrendous weather; second practice was red flagged due to an incident at Dear's Leap so preparation wasn't quite what Paul had hoped for.
Paul finished a respectable 19th on the R6 in the first 600cc race from the back of the grid. In the 250cc race Paul was involved in an 6 bike tussle for 3rd place with very little to choose between them. The race was started with most riders on full wet tyres and by lap 2 the track was bone dry. Paul finished a very creditable 6th but could so easily have been on the podium.
The StakStop WR450 (which usually runs in the 125cc joint class) was forced to run with the 650cc Supertwins and Paul finished in 19th place but was the first 450 home. Had the bike been in the proper class he would have qualified on the front row alongside Ian Lougher, Paul Robinson & William Dunlop and the result could have been so very different.
IoM MANX GP
Paul went to the Manx to help out his good friend Phil Harvey (who is also sponsored by StakStop & mugs4u.com) who was running a Honda RS250 and Yamaha R6. Paul's knowledge and expertise helped Phil get up to speed.
Along with other TT riders, Paul also helped newcomer Wayne Hamilton by imparting some of his 16 years experience of the mountain course. After an incredible win in the Newcomer's Race, Wayne tragically lost his life in the Junior Race on the Monday whilst lying 3rd. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends. The sport has lost a glowing star.
Phil finished a creditable 15th in the junior race on his R6. In the lightweight race, Phil was leading for 2 laps but lost time due to the time taken to refuel (which the pit crew put down to a faulty gravity fed filling system). Bad weather over the mountain delayed him further but Phil was over the moon with a podium finish in 3rd place.
Paul woke up with a stiff back and stayed that way all day! His back prevented him from doing more than a handful of laps and racing was out of the question.
A problem with his sciatic nerve caused pain in all areas (some of which we can't mention here) and we wish him a speedy recovery.
The off-season was an interesting one: new bike (WR450 courtesy of mugs4u.com & stakstop.co.uk); 98 Club bike has engine re-build (big thanks to Mark Hanna of serp tracking tool for breathing life back into it); new superbike for the international meetings (thanks to Ian at speedycom.co.uk for his continued generosity & faith).
Pre-season (just) testing of the 250, 450 & 600cc bikes was carried out at The Anglesey Circuit on Saturday & Sunday 9th & 10th April... a full week before the first race at Scarborough! Nothing like being prepared. Four days to go to practice and the race fairings for the 450 were still in the paintshop and not coming back until the Monday morning - AFTER PRACTICE; a quick call (and a card number) to Gary at electrician in orange county saw us becoming the proud owners of a new set of fairings which were manufactured and despatched in record time. So testing got under way, thanks mainly to the combined efforts of a number of key players behind the scenes.
We couldn't have had a better weekend for it and all three bikes were flying with the new Michelin tyres working well. A few tweaks to suspension and geometry were all that was required all weekend: mechanically all the bikes performed straight out of the truck, which was just as well given that we only had 4 days before the truck was packed again for the trip to Scarborough of the Spring National.
It's safe to say that the racing was not the resounding success we'd hoped for: the extra power that free movies had produced in the R6 was fantastic but made the bike a bit of a handful round the technical Oliver's Mount circuit and, for whatever reason, the rear tyre wasn't performing as expected. More practice time would have made a huge difference with the R6 but Paul is quietly confident that he will see the benefits of Mark's work when he gets out to the NW200 in May.
The WR450 gave a good account of itself in practice but a mystery electrical fault brought the bike to a halt from 5th place on the second lap. The same fault caused the 2nd race to be missed as the bike failed in the paddock. We now have the measure of the problem - to the embarrasment of the team it was traced to the battery - and will be out with the bike at Anglesey on 7th & 8th May, in the Thundersport meeting. If you are able to make it to the meeting you'll not be disappointed: it's a fantastic track that produces some great racing.
If you do manage to get to Anglesey pop down to see Paul in the paddock and have a look at the StakStop/mugs4u.com bike. We'll have tee shirts and limo service detroit on sale as well as mug & coaster sets with the 2011 logo on them... all proceeds from sales go stright into the teams racing fund.
PAUL "Moz" OWEN - TRIALS SUPERSTAR...
With winter in full swing Paul's first ride of the year wasn't quite the discipline he's best known for but he proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with none the less.
Paul had been invited to take part in the Nant Uchaf Trial on Sunday 6th Feb 2011 and was loaned a Gas Gas 250 for the occasion.
Despite the feeling locally that Moz may have a face for road racing, he soon got to grips with the job in hand and gave an excellent account of himself.
Competing in the "Mono Clubman" class our hero dropped just 24 points to finish ahead and take his first win of 2011; let's hope that this is a case of starting as you mean to go on!
Things didn't quite go all Moz's way though, as the following picture shows...
Thanks to Mark Needham for use of the pics

Paul will wind up a mixed season with a guest ride on Robert Dunlop's JPS Norton at the Anglesey Circuit on the weekend of 2nd & 3rd of October. Talking about the outing Paul said, "I'm really looking forward to riding the same bike that Robert Dunlop, Trevor Nation and Ron Haslam raced with great success. I hope the weather stays nice as I'd like to get the feel of the power produced by that rotary engine."
If you can make it to the circuit Paul will be pleased to see you and will be available for photos and autographs throughout the weekend, pop along and say hello if you can.
Scarborough Gold Cup 18th-19th September 2010
Paul was out at the Oliver's Mount for the last road race meeting of the season last weekend, the 60th Anniversary Gold Cup. He enjoyed the meeting despite mixed fortunes: Saturday brought him a 7th on the 250cc Honda & 11th on the Yamaha R6 as Paul got to grips with the track that he hasn't raced since the first meeting of the season.
A change in the weather overnight on Saturday gave a wet start to proceedings on Sunday and there was no improvement all day rendering the already tricky circuit slippery and upredictable. Paul achieved a 6th on the 250 but retired the 600 on lap 3 following a couple of slides and an overshooting of Mere Hairpin. Discretion being the better part of valor, Paul decided that it was prudent to retire from the race rather than risk damage to himself or the bike by continuing at the rear of the field. "Conditions didn't suit me today" he told me, "but all credit to Lee Vernon for his win on the 250 in such difficult conditions."
Paul race ready and raring to go - August 2010
Paul is very sorry to have missed the Cock o' the North meeting at Oliver's Mount and the Aberdare Road Races last month but after a lot of soul searching he really didn't feel that he would have been competitive and fully focused, so the tough decision to sit out the two meetings was therefore taken.
Just because he wasn't racing doesn't mean Paul was idle though: he has spent the time working on the bikes in readiness for the Dundrod Bike Week, culminating in the Ulster GP. Last year Paul had his best ever finish with a podium in the 250cc race against top class competition.
Preparation for the Irish meeting has included 2 outings to Oulton Park to test and set up the Speedycom ZX10. The first test was accompanied by the guys from Maxton suspension who have got the bike set up to suit Paul's riding style; the second was primarily to test new tyres and Paul was really impressed with the Michelin rubber. The combination of suspension and tyres have enhanced the handling of the bike which should pay dividends.
Paul will be campaigning three bikes round the Dundrod track:
You can see Paul (with the RS250 & the 98 Club R6) at the Llangollen Bike Show on Saturday & Sunday 7th & 8th August, come along and say hello if you can. We will also have some exclusive merchandise on sale courtesy of mugs4u.com - all proceeds direct to the racing fund.
Cock o' the North 10th-11th July 2010
Unfortunately, as a result of the effect that the TT had on him, Paul will not be taking part in the Oliver's Mount meeting in Scarborough this year. He feels that he needs a bit more track time before racing again to get himself "back in the groove".
Oliver's Mount is a demanding circuit and not one to be taken lightly; Paul doesn't feel that he would be able to give 100% at the moment and any less than total commitment is not acceptable to him on the race track.
Paul is determined to be back on form in time for the Ulster GP and will be getting some track time in during July to prepare himself both physically and mentally and to get the bikes set up as far as possible for the Dundrod circuit.
The Speedycom ZX10 is now handling better thanks to the time and effort put in by the guys from Maxton and should suit Paul's style of carrying corner speed. The #98 Club R6 is also running well and, other than when he had a small tyre issue (see the picture on his blog), put in some good times at Oulton Park recently. The Honda RS250 needs some work if Paul is to contend for a podium place at the Ulster again but he is determined to be competitive and is completely focused on his preparations for the emerald isle.
To keep up with Paul's preparations check out his blog http://paulowen98.blogware.com/blog
The TT was marred by the deaths of Paul Dobbs and Martin Loicht on Thursday 10th June.
Paul was following his friend "Dobsy" on the road on the first lap of the 2nd Supersport race when, on seeing the accident, he pulled up and took up a position with a flag to warn other riders of the incident in order to free the marshal to assist his colleagues attending to Dobsy. This completely selfless act cost Paul his own chances in the Supersport race and also prevented him from riding the Brunel University bike in the TT Zero race.
Paul would like to extend his apologies and thanks to the team from Brunel University who worked tirelessly to prepare and set up the the electric bike; he was very much looking forward to pursuing a podium finish in the first ever running of the official zero emissions TT.
In recognition of his heroic actions Paul was awarded the inaugural PokerStars "Spirit of the TT Award".

Sunday 18th April Oliver's Mount - Paul cracks up at Scarborough
Paul worked hard over the winter break trying to attract new corporate sponsorship and promoting the #98 club.
The #98 Club provides a new and innovative way for individuals and clubs to support Paul with an outlay of just £98 for the season; membership is limited to 98 members, each of whom will have their name on the R6 Yamaha that Paul will be competing on during the 2010 season.
You will be able to see the bike at all 3 Oliver's Mount meetings, the North West 200, the Isle of Man TT, the Aberdare Park Road Races and the Ulster GP (at which Paul had his 1st ever international podium in 2009)
For 2010, Paul will be racing his Honda RS250cc, Yamaha R6, and a 1000cc machine (he is still awaiting confirmation as to just what bike that will be), watch this space for more info about the 1000cc bike.
The 2009 season also saw Paul take his first ever national wins in the 250cc class at Aberdare Park and in the Superbike B final at Oliver's Mount.
Shaun Ingram of Shelfbank Windows in Oswestry lent Paul his Yamaha R1 for the 2009 TT meeting. Despite the fact that he hadn't been on the bike before setting off down Bray Hill during the first practice, Paul managed to finish in 13th place in the Senior Race and set his fastest
ever lap time of 18mins 27sec: an average speed of 122.697mph. An amazing achievement given that the R1 was bog standard and was competing against factory supported superbikes.

1935 Ford Hot Rod - Luxury Thirty-FiveWritten on July 1, 2009 David Graves' '35 Ford Is A Looker
Atascadero, California, real estate developer David Graves is a die-hard street rodder, so much so that he often embarks on runs, or trips, by himself...more on this later. David located the stock, original coupe in Chico, California, purchasing it in 2002 from the widow who had the car for 40 years; it had been stored in a garage and was completely rust free.
David has built several rods over the years and now with time at a premium turned the project over to Hot Rod Alley, in Lompoc, California, where owners Bill and Diane Anderson completed the transformation. However, before stepping aside David and his son-in-law, Kevin Dougherty, chopped and filled the top, utilizing a section of a '57 Ford roof.
A Total Cost Involved chassis featuring an air bag suspension and Wilwood disc brakes mounted on drilled and vented rotors. David chose to go with a new Chevrolet 350 Ram Jet engine, backed by a dependable 700-R4 overdrive; the rearend gear choice is a 3.73, which has proven to be ideal for both performance and fuel economy. The wild engine cover was done by Hot Rod Alley, utilizing a vintage piece of sheetmetal from David's ample supply of early parts.
When Bill was finished with the body, fabricating the many one-off pieces such as the bumper guards, the fronts should appear as rears, with LED turn signals installed, the headlight stands, and the custom taillights. He sprayed the two-tone PPG Cool Vanilla over a custom mixed green, for a rich, eye appealing look. Hidden hinges, power windows, as well as remote door and trunk locks were included by Bill in the building of the coupe. The Boyd Coddington rollers are 17-inch fronts, 20-inch rears.
Once the chassis/body combination was declared 'done,' the low slung coupe was delivered to Skip Dumont of Skip's Custom Auto Upholstery, located in Atascadero, California. He set about trimming the cockpit in a coordinating cream and beige leather and alligator, covering the 2006 T-bird six-way power seats. The custom console features the hidden air bag switches, as well as Hot Rod Air A/C, Haneline gauges are mounted in the custom dash, while a Budnik steering wheel tops the ididit column. All of the custom aluminum inserts in the interior were fabricated by Skip.
After four years in the build, David couldn't be happier, giving all of the credit to Bill, Diane, and Skip for making the car what it is, a dream that he had for years. Although it seems that someone else saw it as their dream also, as not long after the photo session, it went down the road to a happy new owner!

Engine of choice is a Chevrolet Ram Jet 350, backed by the dependable 700-R4 automatic, connected to a 3.73 rearend, a perfect highway setup; check out the wild engine cover, which was found in David's extensive collection of early parts, of course, Bill massaged it heavily before it was installed.In the rear, you can see the extent of the custom work required with the hand fabricated taillights, the hideaway license plate and the trick, fitted horizontal bumperettes-a look that is matched in the front.Skip's Custom Auto Upholstery, Atascadero, worked his magic on this plush interior, combining cream and beige leather........and alligator, fabricating the aluminum panels, and covering the T-bird six-way power seat as well the custom console;.........hidden air bag switches are incorporated, as well as Hot Rod Air gauges by Haneline. The ididit column is topped with a Budnik wheel.

It's what you call supply and demand. I'm glad there is at least one company out there that is showing strength in pricing. The only negative to all this is it means that they fudged it on the expected demand (didn't make enough), but I'm not complaining as long as people still buy them. After all its the annuity stream on the K-cups that will be the big pay day, and a 499 price tag on the machine just allows for the fixed cost to be paid down faster.

Additional Information
Important InformationThis loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.
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.

Did you ever play with paper dolls as a child? I don't mean paper dolls that you cut out, but the ones that had clothes that you could change by bending the tabs and hanging them on the doll's shoulders? Well, the shape of the blocks in this quilt remind me of the tabs on paper doll clothes. The blocks, as well as the secondary pattern created when the blocks are put together is fun and fresh.
The pattern includes full color illustrations for each step of the process as well as cutting diagrams. Fabric requirements are also included for an alternate color layout.

"Targu Mures-Marosvarashely-Neumarkt" Top 5 Page for this destination Targu-Mures by roomania
Targu-Mures Travel Guide: 57 reviews and 233 photos
Targu Mures is situated in the heart of Transylvania in picturesque surroundings, one hour north of Sighisoara. The river Mures flows through the city and its surrounding hills are covered in ash and oak forests. Romanians and Hungarians both make up the population of 163,270 inhabitants. The area of Mures county is often refered to as the land of Szekely. After the invasion of the Tartars during the 13th century, it became the market for the Szekely's who settled the area. The city was first documented in Papal letters dated 1323 as Szekelyvarashely and the Latin, 'Novum Forum Sicolorum'.
The year 1616, the city was chartered as a royal town by the Duke of Transylvania establishing it as an independent royal town; hereafter referred to as Targu Mures, in Romanian, Marosvasarhely, in Hungarian, and Neumarkt am Mieresch in German, which translate as "Market on the Mures".
The City of Targu Mures centers around Piata Trandafirilor, the "Rose Market". At the northern end of the piata lies the magnificent Orthodox Cathedral. The Cathedral had its southern facade restored and until recently was obscured by scaffolding. However, having completed restoration and with the scaffolding removed it reveals a beautiful copper edifice that looks over the piata and the statue of Avram Iancu.
In 1602 a fortification was built north of the present city center, which houses the distinguished Hungarian Reformed church, was built in pentagonal layout comprises seven bastions, of which five continue to bear the guild's name that by tradition, supported and defended them.
As with all citadels of the time, it was constructed to house the town's inhabitants during times of war. Today, the citadel and church remain, however, townspeople congregate to celebrate more joyous occasions such as the annual beer and wine festivals held in June and October respectively.

Report: OU baseball to hire Virginia Tech's Pete Hughes
Oklahoma appears to be close to naming a new baseball coach.
The Richmond (Va.) Times Dispatch reported the Sooners will name Virginia Tech's Pete Hughes as its coach.
Hughes, 45, was 222-144 in seven seasons with the Hokies. Before that, he coached Boston College for eight seasons.
Virginia Tech went 40-22 this year and hosted a regional for the first time in school history, falling to the Sooners in the final.
Hughes could be introduced in Norman as soon as this afternoon. Virginia Tech has called a press conference for 4:30 p.m. local time, reportedly to name Hughes' successor.
Hughes has one more year remaining on his Virginia Tech contract.
Hughes replaces Sunny Golloway, who went 346-181-1 in eight-plus seasons with the Sooners before being hired away by Auburn earlier this month.
Oklahoma appeared in an NCAA Regional in each of his last six seasons and won 40-plus games in each of the last five seasons.
The Sooners were 43-21 overall this year, 13-11 in the Big 12. The Sooners were swept in the super regionals by LSU.
Pitching coach Jack Giese, who seemed headed to Auburn after Golloway's hiring there, could return to the Sooners. Golloway announced Wednesday that he was retaining pitching coach Scott Foxhall from the previous staff.
Hughes suffered a heart attack earlier this month just a few days after being eliminated by the Sooners.
He drove himself to the hospital after suffering from symptoms for about six hours.
According to the Roanoke Times, Hughes underwent surgery June 6 to have a stent implanted following the heart attack.
Before going to Virginia Tech, Hughes was 250-181-2 in eight seasons at Boston College. He spent two seasons (1997-98) as the head coach at Trinity University in San Antonio, going 52-30.
He started his coaching career as an assistant in both football and baseball at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., before moving to similar positions at Northeastern University in Boston.
The Brockton, Mass., native was a two-sport standout at Davidson College.

I am having trouble creating a custom module for my Magento store.
I have successfully added a route (/landing), and created/layout files that display template content within my base layout. I now need to move beyond that a bit.
I want to be able to load a parameter from a URL, grab an object based on that parameter, and display things based on the contents of my object.
Example: User browsers to domain.com/landing/cool/. This (hopefully) would call the landing controller. Controller would somehow be able to pull the 'cool' parameter, and pull a landing object associated with cool. Then, my template can get that object and display its elements.
I know there are a lot of bits there, but I have been cracking my head on this for a while and getting nowhere. Magento has to do this for all its categories, items, etc. Does anyone out there know how I can do it?

text: Posted 7 Nov 2012 I think it needs to be well over 100k jobs per month. More like 200k minimum or we are going backwards. And yet, the big tax increases coming early next year along with Obamacare costs kicking in, going to be a roller coaster for businesses. Would not be surprised to see tons of companies drop healthcare (which was the intention all along) just so survive. Then the same folks that brought you FEMA, will bring you healthcare. Next 4 years are going to be epic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
