The country's only linguistic legislation concerning other tongues refers to schooling and is restricted to bilingual and intercultural primary education (exclusively in indigenous communities), although there are actually few trained bilingual teachers.
Colombia's official language is Spanish, along with the tongues and dialects of the ethnic groups in their territories, but this is merely symbolic recognition.

The Desano are part of the Amazonian Vaupés region's multilingual exogamous system. The region comprises Colombian and Brazilian territory and is home to a number of ethnic groups whose members intermarry, among other forms of interaction. Most of the groups in question speak languages from the Tucanoan family, although some speak Arawakan tongues. Under the aforementioned system, each individual may only marry someone who speaks a different language from their own (i.e. from that of their father). When they get married, women go to live in the village of their husband, but teach their children their tongue. The result is a multilingual system in which everybody speaks two languages (that of their mother and that of their father), as well as Tucano in many cases. Most Desano also speak Portuguese and, in some cases, Spanish.
The word desano or desana comes from Tariana (a language of the Arawakan family). The indigenous name Wirá-poná or Winá põrã means 'sons of the wind'.
Some experts consider that Desano and Siriano are variants of a single tongue.

Dry Rain mist distant, Lonavala July 5, 2013 Fri 11 : 45 PM
Yesterday's post was written with nostalgia and passion. Some expressed great response to it, but there were a few that were perhaps surprised by it. Surprised because they wished to express themselves in the context of the theme but were unable to do so. Irrespective of what their own personal circumstances may be, I would never dare to explore further the why's and wherefore's of their personal situations. We all have our own stories to tell, to bear and to experience. I would wish for all to have an as ideal a situation as possible, but life does not always bring the best for us, we suffer at times, we struggle, but in the end we accept what life offers and learn to live with it, fight it to our fulfilment and continue .. continue because that in itself shall bring us the fruits that we desire … no matter how bitter they may be ..
Passion … that is what we all dream about in our work. Without it it would be futile, to be involved in any act. Many mention about, energy, determination, desire to succeed, or least give it a shot … lovely spirit ..
I would wish, that passion and desire and determination remain with all of us in whatever we do … without it of course .. it is just another ordinary life .. or one without wanting it to be special …
It is impossible to describe at times what others wish is the formula for determination or will or passion. It is something that we all have dealt with during our life times, yet never been able to give it definition. Those that are able to, are blessed. Many are of opinion that if you speak about it you lose it … so for many its a kind of taboo ..
There are those that go out after their innings are over to talk about it at various forums, and important institutions. Many listen and get inspired, many make example from it, many just enjoy the experience of being given an opportunity to see into the personal struggles and achievements of others, and hope that they can be impressed enough to emulate them ..
May you all be in passion and determination to achieve what you set your destinations … and may they be achieved with the least amount of effort ..
With love ..
Amitabh Bachchan

Sobotta Manor History
Hosts and Ghosts
Step back in time to early 1900's Mount Airy, NC and envision yourself as a "well to do family" during this era. Come to visit and stay in the Sobotta family home as our guest. Enjoy the beautiful rare architecture of the building while living inside with authentic, old period pieces from America and Europe, but updated with modern amenities.
The home was built in 1932 by John Sobotta and stayed in the family until September of 2004 when it was sold to Thurman and Robin Hester. Mr. Sobotta's portrait still hangs in the living room. In recent years, his son, David, and his family strictly used the house as their second home. Many antiques were left in the house by the Sobotta family as they felt the pieces "belonged to the house." A petticoat table, as well as a tapestry chair, and four occasional tables designed specifically for this home were all left with the house.
Meet The Innkeepers
Thurman and Robin Hester have spent the last year restoring their Italianate Tudor Revival home to a beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Thurman and Robin former Real Estate Investors and Managers have always worked in service-oriented careers. When they first saw the Sobotta Home, they knew this was the fulfillment of their dream; to own and operate a respite for guests to find peace, serenity and comfort; away from their stressful lives.
Thurman and Robin have two adult children; a son Charles and daughter and son in law Rebecca and Tomas, who reside in Tampa Florida, and our youngest son an inspiration to live and fulfill our dreams, always a precious memory Christopher our guardian angel.
And our resident pets and greeters, two spoiled but loving Bichon Frise Clayton and Cher.
Meet the Sobotta Family
Mr. John Sobotta was one of Mount Airys most prominent citizens. Johns Sobotta retired as the vice president of National Furniture Company where it is believed that his career was the longest in the American wood working industry.
A native of Germany, he moved with his family to the United States in 1880. He went to work in a furniture factory at the age of 14. He moved to Mount Airy in January 1904 to work with National Furniture, just three years after it was established.
Mr. Sobotta was director emeritus of Workman's Federal Savings and Loan; he was also a great benefactor to the boy scouts, constructing the John Sobotta Scout Hut at the First Presbyterian Church named in his honor. He also played a great role in the establishment of Camp Raven Knob for Boy Scouts. Mr. Sobotta made a large financial contribution to the local library foundation.
Claire Sobotta - Not much is known about the first Mrs. Sobotta and it is hard to assemble. It has been said that she suffered from severe depression and had mental problems that created the need for round the clock nursing care. This is the nemesis' that brought the second Mrs. Sobotta, Blanche, among many other nurses over the years to live and work here at the manor.
Blanche Sobotta (August 22, 1910 to March 20, 2004) in the words of her son David...
It's hard to describe my mother, they broke the mold when they made her. She was the matriarch for a large extended family which still talks with wonder about the magnificent home on Pine Street. We have been able to trace the Styers family (mother's maiden name) to someone who it is believed fought in the Revolutionary War with the NJ Militia.
Blanche was born August 22, 1910 to Sallie Jane Shore Styers andThomas Walter Styers who was a miller. She spent her early years on a mill pond and by the age of nine was cooking biscuits for the other five children because her mother had died of the flu. Blanche left home at an early age and moved to Mount Airy, NC when the town had a population of 150 people. She spent most of her years in Mount Airy at 347 West Pine Street where she became an accomplished gardener and created the wonderful gardens that can still be seen each spring.
For several years Blanche was a beautician on Main Street in Mt. Airy and later on Styers Street in Lewisville, NC , not far from the original location where her Grandfather Styers' ferry crossed the Yadkin Blanche was a renowned cook, famous for her fried chicken, pound cakes, and the peanut brittle that appeared during the holiday season. After the death of her close Mt. Airy friend, R. J. Berrier, in 2000, she moved to Roanoke to live with her son David and his wife Glenda.

Primland Golfing [ Website ]
The Highland Course at Primland
There is a remoteness about Primland, a sense of escape, that is special. Golf courses have been built in every landscape imaginable, but only rarely on mountain peaks. Once I strode over the plateau at Primland, with views which reminded me of the highlands of Scotland, I knew this was the perfect spot for a truly exceptional course.
The sharp contrasts between valleys and peaks allowed me to achieve invigorating variety throughout all 18 holes. And by stipulating close cutting around greens, using fast surface bent and fescue grasses, and designing bunkers that really are bunkers, I made this course one that will seriously challenge not only low handicap players, but the world's top professionals as well. With course length from the black tees measuring slightly over 7,000 yards, you either drive well on The Highland Course or you perish!

He gained only 13 yards on 10 carries in the first half, his least in a first half since an Oct. 24, 2011 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars where he was limited to 9 yards on four carries.
Allowing 87.9 rushing yards per game, San Diego has the third-ranked run defense.

"We've got to reinvent ourselves a week later, but obviously it's always been tough-sledding against them," said Rice, who has rushed for 697 yards and seven touchdowns. "You can't just run at the Steelers. This week, same kind of deal. Those are big, heavy guys up front. You get those big guys moving, and hopefully you get a crease."
Upshaw adapting to a new role
Rookie outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw lost his starting job when Suggs returned.
The Ravens have tried to find creative ways to keep the second-round draft pick on the field, lining him up at defensive end and nose guard against the Oakland Raiders. However, he played just 35 snaps in Pittsburgh.
"I'm more than happy for them to call on my name when they need somebody," said Upshaw, who has 39 tackles with just 14 over the past four games. "I don't mind. Whatever it is, I'm willing to do it."
Pollard preparing for Gates again
Pollard lined up against Chargers star tight end Antonio Gates several times when he played in the AFC West for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Although Gates has 30 receptions and 355 receiving yards and is on pace for his lowest totals since his rookie year, Pollard said the former basketball player remains a difficult assignment.
"He's still an impact player, still a phenomenal athlete," Pollard said. "I respect him. He can still maneuver and get open. It's going to be a fun matchup."
Keeping an eye on Barnes
The Ravens had no answer last season for Chargers outside linebacker Antwan Barnes. A fourth-round pick by Baltimore in 2007, Barnes sacked Flacco four times in 2011.
Although Barnes has just seven tackles, a sack and two fumble recoveries this season because of a strained hamstring, the Ravens regard him as a dangerous pass rusher. Barnes, who's no longer on the injury report, recorded a career-high 11 sacks last season.
"Barnsie went off," offensive guard Marshal Yanda said. "He can really bring the heat off the edge. We've got to contain him a lot better than we did last time. He's got a lot of speed."
Game blacked out in California
Because the Chargers failed to sell out Sunday's game and have more than 9,000 tickets available, the game has been blacked out in Southern California under NFL rules.
The game will still be shown live in Maryland on CBS.
End zone
Harbaugh excused the players early for the Thanksgiving holiday after practicing indoors to simulate the warmer weather anticipated in San Diego. "We know this is a business trip," tight end Ed Dickson said. "It's tough playing around the holidays, but we had a great day and got a good sweat in because it's going to be nice in San Diego. We're focused and ready to play." ... The Ravens expect to hear a lot of good-natured trash-talking from former Baltimore fullback Le'Ron McClain. "There is no clean stuff Le'Ron will say," Suggs said. "You know the kind of vocabulary we use when we're out there. He's definitely going to be jawing, and we're going to give him a little jaw back."

Don't be fooled by the rocks that she got. J.Lo still needs more, more, MORE!!! Bwahahahaha!! Oh, and love don't cost a thing? BWAHAHAHAHA!! Seriously, they don't call Jennifer Lopez a diva for nothin' -- and her list of demands is apparently getting so outrageous she's losing gigs. Or at least one gig, but it was a big one: Known as the "Super Bowl of the Subcontinent," the opening ceremony of India's Premier Cricket tournament is apparently a pretty major deal (60 million viewers are expected to tune in next week). So it was a pretty major deal that they hired J.Lo to perform.
Except J.Lo apparently isn't as major of a deal as she thinks, because when organizers got wind of her "requirements," they gave her the boot. How over-the-top were the star's demands, you ask?
Well, let's see. Apparently J.Lo's requests included (but were not limited to) a private plane (just for Jen!) and a "plethora of hotel rooms to accommodate her infamously sized entourage of stylists, assistants and personal chef."
Honestly, I was expecting worse -- not that Lopez isn't asking a lot, but you know how bizarre and specific and insane some celebs can be about their "backstage riders." But then I remembered what happened when J.Lo went to film that music video benefitting African Aids victims and insisted upon, among other things, a 45-foot trailer with triple slide-outs and 2 entry doors, a white room featuring white tables and/or tablecloths, white drapes, white Diptyque candles, white couches, white lilies, white sheets, room temperature Evian water, apricot, mango, pear guava and peach juices, apple pie a la mode and oh hell, a ton of other crap.
So, figure you combine all that with the private plane and the plethora of hotel rooms, and is it any wonder the Cricket tournament people replaced J.Lo with rapper Pitbull?
Howzabout donating some of the money that would've been spent on all those "requirements" to some of the folks still stuck on "the block," Jenny? Still, you know where you came from ... right?
Do you think Jennifer Lopez is making over-the-top demands?
Image via Splash
I would be ashamed of myself if I were to ever behave in such a way. Fortunately, I have friends and family members that I know would be happy to take me down a peg before it ever got to that point :-)
Mariah has to talent to back up her demands .... J Lo has no freaking talent just a big ass booty that she can shake very well.
These demands are ridiculous....a little humility and restraint would probably make the performer worth what it costs to see her....
The thing is Jlo cant even sing. She is a good entertainer, but singing...meh.

Awesome Backpack!!

I just upgraded to this backpack from a North Face Jester backpack that I've had for 8 years now. It was a huge improvement; the side straps are good for compressing the bulk and has perfect pockets to compartmentalize. I don't use the laptop section, but it is perfect for school/work stuff. The side mesh panels are wide enough to hold more than just water bottles and sturdy elastic to withstand movement. The elastic strap on the front is good for more trail/hiking use for the backpack (it can attach carabiners, shoes, towels, etc.). It can hold a larger capacity than average daily use backpacks and has comfortable shoulder straps and additional lumbar and chest straps for postural support.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: Cost
Just what he wanted!

This backpack although a little pricey at first look, it well worth it for the quality. This product is very well made and will last for years and years.

Lots of room for all your needs. Excellent construction - easy on and off. A great back pack for college students. Pack is strudily bulit with room to spare for a computer and all the small items that you need. Wears comfortably and the center of gravity helps with heavier loads like text books. Plenty of room to carry refreshments along for the day.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

This backpack will fit two large binders and two text book with ease... I also am excited about the weight distribution feature, since it does hold so much! This could be the last back pack we buy until we send our daughter off to college! Awesome backpack!!

This bag is really durable. It's big enough to hold a laptop and use for school purposes or to go day camping with, as well. Side pouches are great for water bottles or anything that you want easy acess to while walking around. Definitely would recommend this bag to anyone that wants to add style to their day with a great quality product.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, lightweight

Expected no less, and totally satisfied
July 14, 2012
I've gone through several other manufacturer's backpacks, and none of them were able to stand up to the beatings that I put them through. Not so with the North face packs I've bought. The Heckler had a surprisingly larger amount of storage space than I thought it would, and the single smaller front pocket itself is divided into enough smaller pockets that you will be able to keep track of all of your smaller possesions. With a pouch on each side of the pack that will hold a beverage bottle, you can easily carry two 20 oz drinks. The Heckler cost almost half of what I paid for a "boutique" pack, so that's a plus as well.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever
great backpack for college
August 13, 2011
I bought this backpack for my daughter who is starting college. She needed one to carry her laptop and books, but she also wanted it to look good. Loved the color and it is the perfect size. It holds her laptop and her books comfortably. She is very short and the it is not too big for her. Also, the straps on her shoulders make it very comfortable.
May 10, 2011
This product is well-made, durable and something I would purchase again. I have previously purchased north face backpacks and they have lasted for years and years. I love to give them away as graduation gifts to friends' children going to college. They are also wonderful not only as school backpacks, but as hiking or traveling backpacks. The variety of pocket sizes is our favorite featurePros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Great Size for High Schooler!
September 10, 2011
This backpack is great! My son can fit large books, lunch, shoes and more. It is sturdy and can also fit his laptop, though he hasn't tried that yet. It is longer than previous ones he has had, so he is very happy. Separate compartments in front perfect for cell phone, calculator, etc. I recommend this backpack after looking around for so many!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance
good looking, light, sturdy backpack
September 12, 2011
received it as a gift for use at college. surprised how light it is. it is smaller than i had expected, which is actually good for me. it is not waterproof but haven't had any problem so far--it's been raining a LOT in new haven, CT. i got a black one, not TNF black, which was on sale. i like it a lot.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
awesome. backpack.
February 07, 2012
This Heckler backpack has been with me at school and whenever I travel. It is extremely durable. When I am at school I am usually able to carry my notebooks (3-4) and my laptop, with water, and my personal items. The backpack does not feel heavy, and it supports my back all throughout the day while I am carrying it. When I am traveling, it carries everything I need for the whole day and then some. It has many convenient pockets, and I absolutely love it.Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great value

Great Back to School Back Pack!
August 01, 2011
I bought this for my daughter as a surprise back to school pack. She loved the the colors and the adjustable snug fit. She is on the smaller side so it is nice that a large pack can sitll cinch down to fit her snugly. I loved the extra padding in the shoulder straps for when she has a heavy load of books.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value

I bought this backpack for my laptop. I have been using other north face product. My bag was used for 10 years. I'm expected about this backpack. It did not disapponit to me. It's great.

I will only buy North Face Backpacks
June 11, 2011
The heckler is an awesome backpack, with lots of space for everything I needed it to carry for school. I only wish it had more small pockets that I could stow phones, wallets, etc. I've owned 3 north face backpacks during my life (all for school), and have only purchased a new one when I was bored with the old one. One problem I had with this backpack after about 6 months was, because I had to pack it with such heavy books and binders, the top nylon hold began to tear on one side. It still held up, however just frayed on one side. Overall, great backpacks.Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever
A Hit for My College Student
September 02, 2011
Purchased the ivory/blue Northface Heckler backpack for my daughter's first year in college. It's a beautiful backpack, the colors are even more striking in realtime than on the website pics. As always, Northface backpacks are the best out there as far as durability and spaciousness go. The extra padding in the shoulders are great, an absolute must-have with all the weight the students have to carry around. The sides on this backpack have expandable clips/straps too, for when you have to carry a laptop, books, and other supplies all at the same time. There are plenty of zipper compartments on the outside as well. You really can't miss in purchasing this backpack for a middle, high school, or college student. It's worth the extra cost.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, beautiful color
March 11, 2011
Very nice backpack, i love the look, love the feel. I wish it was a little bit larger, at least in the width dimension. However, it has a great cushion for my laptop, and the 2-compartments are perfect for the way I like to organize my stuff, and love how the side pockets fit my bottles/gloves easily.Pros: Great design
January 21, 2013
This is large size good quality bag The reason i give 3stars is it is little heavier than i think If you are looking for light weight backpack it is not the one u looking for But is is ok for man to carryPros: Ease of use, Great value, Cons: heavy
Heckler laptop Backpack
September 12, 2010
I purchased the Heckler laptop backpack for my 7th grade daughter. She loves it. The inside is quite detailed, with special lining for her laptop. Provides nice protection for the laptop. Inside there are many well structured areas to hold everything from pens and pencils to cell phone and ipod. The size seams a little long for a 7th grader but she, at 5'4" feels quite comfortable with it on her back. We ordered it in Pink plaid. The "pink" is so subtle my daughter feels it should have been called "blue" plaid, but loves it just the same. However, the inside structure is quite pink. Overall we would recommend this backpack for comfort, style and durability.
Perfect Travel Carry on
March 01, 2010
I got the Cardinal Red for my trip to India,a two week adventure hiking the Himalayas,through rivers,hot weather,old buses...it worked great,my laptop was secure,I had plenty of space for a change of clothes,never had to worry about my documents getting wet,and it was comfortable to carry around.
May 29, 2012
I had picked this pack out as my go to college pack this next fall based on its cool looks -- like the green plaid especially -- and also its great reviews. My Mom got it for me as part of my high school graduation gift -- I was very excited as it is hard to find this color now. However, after trying it out by filling the pack w/ the typical college load, including laptop, I found it has a serious design flaw. The zipper for the main opening is at the front of the pack and the laptop sleeve is at the back of the pack. It is very difficult to get my laptop in and out, especially when the pack is loaded -- and I have a small 14". I am very disappointed as the rest of the pack is awesome. But I know I would be frustrated dealing w/ this problem if I were to keep it, so am returning it. I have decided to get the North Face Recon instead which has 2 large compartments instead of the one, which makes laptop access much easier.Pros: Build quality, Cons: design flaw
Great Bag for Students
December 17, 2009
My son helped carry books for a injured friend at school with his backpack and came home raving about this backpack. Loves the padding on the straps, compact size and laptop sleeve. Great construction all around. He tells me every week how much he loves this pack and he's went through a lot. With the amount of books students carry back and forth, appears to be a great investment
Perfect size, great capacity, built to last
December 30, 2009
I travel extensively and also carry a lot of large binders and my laptop for work, and this backpack is perfect for both. I wasn't even a backpack type of person, but the Heckler changed that as soon as it arrived -- and Altrec shipped it very quickly. The backpack is incredibly sturdy and feels very durable. I was amazed at just how much it can hold. It fit everything that once took me two large bags to carry -- and I still had room for more! I'm a 5'3" petite female, and though this bag runs on the large side, it's exactly the right size for me and for what I take on trips and to work. I wish I had this backpack when I was back in college, because it would have been much better than the dinky tote bags I used to carry. The straps on Heckler make carrying anything feel like a dream, and the secondary front pockets help keep smaller items organized. I will be using this backpack for years to come, I'm sure.
North Face quality, very durable, perfect size for my laptop!

This backpack replaces my brief case and has made the trek back and forth to work for over a year now. It is perfect for carrying a laptop and the all the items I need for a busy day of work!
May 05, 2011
I was in the market for a new backpack as I've gotten into the habit of carrying one daily over the last year. I wanted one to use daily for work, on weekends for hikes and adventures and for international travel as a carry-on. After checking out all the major manufacturers, I narrowed it down to the TNF Box Shot and this pack. They have similar capacity and assembly quality, but the reasons I chose the Box Shot are that it had better organization with more pockets. and better materials were used in construction. If budget were a consideration, I'd definitely have chosen the Heckler since it's less than half the price and if I preferred one large compartment (as I do in my multi-day backpack) I would have gone with the Heckler. Now it's your turn to choose!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value

Great backpack for adult students. Very roomy.
Large capacity, comfortable backpack
June 08, 2012
I owned a North Face backpack for over a decade before it started to get holes and needed replacing. I am not disappointed at all with my new one. The little touches like mesh on the shoulder straps and the small pouch for an mp3 player or phone right on the front really make me love this pack. There are also two small velcro pouches on the inner portion of the backpack flap which nicely fit a wireless mouse. I bought it for grad school and it fits almost all of my textbooks complete with a padded pouch for my laptop. Despite those heavy loads, the backpack is still comfortable to wear. I really love the straps, they're very ergonomically designed. One issue is that the strap that is designed to wrap around your waist (when not in use) tends to catch on my jeans when I'm walking . I LOVE this backpack and I hope (but have no doubts) that it will last as long as my last one.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Ease of use

I bought this backpack because I have heard about how wonderful North Face bags are and I haven't been disappointed. This bag has a lot of great features and is cool looking. Girls, it is a little big, mainly long, but it's not overly big. My Mac book fits perfectly in the laptop holder, which is a big plus! I definitely recommend this bag.

I bought it for my middle school daughter but i am returning it for a different one b/c she doesn't like the hard bar in the top of it. It is uncomfortable and stiff at the top. She may be too small for this style. We are looking for a different style north face now.
Great College Pack!
January 30, 2012
I am a student at a university and this was just the backpack I needed. It safely protects my laptop and holds all my books. The side straps really take pressure off of your back for heavier loads. I really like that it is water resistant so I don't need to worry about my laptop getting destroyed. It's a great looking backpack and this price will not be beat anywhere else. I strongly suggest this backpack.Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Great value

This backpack was delivered before the date it was scheduled to be delivered. Most of my friends have North Face backpacks, so I was encouraged to get one for my own, since they told me they were VERY comfortable. I ordered this one, but the only bad part was that it was too big for me. I am a girl that is 4'11" so this back pack did not fit. Other than that, great choice and quality. I am actually going to invest in another North Face backpack with the dimension in mind this time. I am definitely ordering from Altrec in the future!

A great buy!
August 26, 2010
This is the best backpack I've ever purchased. It holds a lot without looking really bulky, and when you aren't carrying a big load, the side and bottom straps allow you to compress the pack down for an even slimmer look. The shoulder straps are nicely padded, and I love the mesh pockets on both sides. Being a college student who likes the outdoors, I love that there's plenty of room for books and a sleeve for my laptop, AND the pack is also durable and comfortable enough for all-day hikes. Highly suggested, and well worth the money.
December 16, 2009
Got this as a gift for someone else - so much room in it - even by college student standards - I have the Northface Aurora Borealis and although I've been happy with it - I'd love one of these for myself now! the straps on the bottom and sides make it look like it's not gigantic and make it more compact for when you're not using the space while it fits just about whatever you could want - textbooks, laptop and a change of clothes at LEAST. overall, I would definitely recommend this

This is certainly the best pack I've ever had. As a law student, I have a lot of large textbooks I need to carry around. This pack can hold the books I need on a daily basis. This pack is also great for activities like bike riding and hiking. It is super durable, lightweight and has plenty of organizational pockets to hold gadgets.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance
Great choice for school load
August 23, 2011
I bought this for my daughter who is entering high school. She was using a JanSport previously, and 12 months of use totally trashed it. This new one is roomier and about as light. The zippers are smooth and sewn on well (no loose threads to get it stuck), and the straps have more cushioning. The back support was what first caught my attention about this model, and it feels sturdy and comfortable even when we loaded the bag up with books up to its full capacity (although that should not be the normal case in daily use). Of course the color is what bought my daughter, and I am happy to say that she loves it as much as I am assured of the support and comfort features. I will revise the 4 stars for durability once we have gone through 6+ months of use. All in all, I am happy with the choice, and we shall see if that changes down the road.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Cons: Cost
Good backpack for school

I really enjoy using this backpack everyday for school. It comes with a laptop compartment to hold your laptop and it also has plenty of room to keep binds, folder, and textbooks. Only downside is there is a lot of room so if you dont have that much to bring to school, you are left with extra space. I would definitely recommend this backpack.

This is a pretty good backpack for normal use. However, please note that it is LONGER/TALLER than usual. That is, when I put a textbook inside it, it takes up only 2/3 of the space vertically, and theres 1/3 space available still. In addition, there are only 2 major compartments. The largest one has two small pouches for storage, the smaller one has a few pouches and a mesh pouch. It will store a lot, but it won't carry many small things. Lastly, there are a good amount of straps. The waist strap can be removed. The chest strap (connected via the shoulder straps) cannot. Just letting you know. Nonetheless, very good bag
Great Backpack for the Money
February 11, 2012
This bag is extremely versatile which is a big plus in my book. As a graduate student I really like that the main compartment has a laptop sleeve that fits my 17'' screen perfectly, has enough room for several large books, a two inch binder, and room to pack in all the computer chargers and USB cords. The two additional pockets inside the main compartment allow me to carry my compact camera and mp3 player with ease. The pencil and pen organizer is well laid out and has the compartment it's in is large enough to accommadate a small notebook or two. As a hiker this compartment is prefect for storing all my day hiking supplies, like food, hydration sleeve, extra clothing, first aid supplies, etc. With the additional bungee straps and side compression straps I can carry much more than just the expected day hiking gear like a sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and a larger coat. There also two additional mesh pockets for extra water bottles. There is also a small zipper pocket at the top of the bag which to me isn't deep enough to store much more then a set keys. The construction and fit is what to excepted from Northface. No major flaws to speak of really. And for the price I expect this backpack will last many years to come.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, versatile, Cons: Cost
