Wearing only a green loincloth Nike Epic React Flyknit Pearl Pink Australia , a barefooted indian approached me. Lean and muscular, his straight black hair hung down past his ears in a "page boy" style cut typical of "Cholos" or straight-haired people. His flat, broad feet were caked with sand. A two and a half foot long machete was slung across his back by a braided vine thong. A small drawstring pouch hung by its cords under one arm. We looked at each other. Glancing down at the scattering of wood shavings around my feet, the Embera finally broke the silence.


"What are you doing?" he asked in his native tongue.


"I'm making a fishing lure."


Tipping his head curiously, he squinted at the near minnow-shaped blank of wood in my hands. I continued whittling. More wood shavings fell around his feet. He didn't move. The Pacific Ocean surf roared and pounded like a lullaby no more than 100 yards away down the sand-paved street. Late afternoon had painted the sky with burnt orange and purple hues. A light breeze easily carried the salt scent to us and felt refreshing against the crushing humidity.


"It will be like one of these" Nike Odyssey React Black Australia , I said in Spanish, holding up another finished minnow-imitation top water plug. The Rapala-type fishing lure had been finished only yesterday.


Heavy rain and roiling seas had scuttled any fishing plans I'd had for earlier this morning. In the clear afternoon, I opted to work on a couple of lures to pass the sauna-like conditions of Colombia's Pacific coast. The Choco region is one of the wettest regions in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records. More than 43 and a half feet of rain fall each year ? enough to flood a building above its fourth floor.


He took a lure from my hands and turned, holding it up, to show another more elderly Indian man who now approached. They spoke a bit between themselves Men's Nike Odyssey React Gun Smoke Black Grey Australia , turning the lure over and over in their hands, mindful of the tail and mid-body stainless steel treble hooks. The first man undulated the lure in a swimming motion imitating a dancing, bobbing fish. Smiling, he handed it back to me.


"I've never seen anything like that", the tan skinned man continued. "Do you have more?"


I nodded a response.


"Do you sell them?"


"Not these. I'll be using these myself tomorrow."


"The fish will really like these Men's Nike Odyssey React Black White Australia , especially this one." He pointed to a red-headed five inch minnow imitation lure with a white body: Its treble hooks glinted in the evening sunlight.


"I hope so." He proved right couple of days later as I fought a 14-pound Dorado to the gunnels of my boat. My hands cut and bleeding, it took two of us to sling the blue and gold, spotted scrapper up and into the locally built 25 foot wooden launch. I would sport a shameless, white-toothed grin all the way home that morning.


Showing off a few more of my finished lures, we conversed a bit more. They left in wonder at my ability to "make little fish from sticks". So from that day on Women's Nike Odyssey React Habanero Red Australia , I have been known by the Embera Indians of the Jurubida region of the Choco, as "The man who makes little fish from sticks." Kinda of catchy, ain't it? I still can't quite say it correctly in the Embera's language, but let me tell you, it's a mouthful.

When you're shopping for a new home-especially for the first time-all the terms and expressions may be confusing and difficult to understand. Adjustable rate Women's Nike Odyssey React Casual Arctic Pink Australia , fixed rate, balloon payment - how do you decide which is the right type of home mortgage for you if you're not even sure what each of them are?

The name of the mortgage type usually has to do with how you'll pay for your loan - how the interest on the loan is being determined by the bank. The three major types of mortgages are fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon payment. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Fixed Rate Mortgage

With a fixed rate mortgage, you have a set interest rate for the entire life of the loan. The interest rate that you pay for your loan won't change - which means that you'll pay the same monthly payment for the entire length of the loan. This protects you from unexpected rises in interest rates that would increase your monthly payment. At the same time, should the interest rates drop Women's Nike Odyssey React Gray Black Australia , you will have the option of refinancing at a lower interest rate. Because the protections are largely on the side of the buyer with a fixed rate mortgage, interest rates on them are generally slightly higher than they would be on other types of mortgages.

A fixed rate mortgage is the safest type. Because the payments are predictable, it's usually considered the most desirable type of mortgage. Always choose a fixed rate mortgage if interest rates are rising.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage

When you choose an adjustable rate mortgage, your monthly payment and interest rate will fluctuate with the current market interest rate. If the interest rate goes up, so will your monthly payment. If it drops Nike Odyssey React Desert Sand Sail Women's Pink Australia , your monthly loan payment will as well. The adjustable rate is tied to an index, which is determined by the lender. Other terms of the mortgage are also determined by the lender. These include how often the interest rate is adjusted - anywhere from every 3-6 months to once a year, how much the interest rate can increase or decrease on any adjustment date, and whether there is a 'cap' on how high the interest rate can rise.

Often, adjustable rate mortgages
