SPRINGFIELD, Va. -- Months of afterschool running and training came down to this moment.
Lacing up running shoes and calming butterflies in their stomachs, the roughly 20 participants in the Girls on the Run program at Crestwood Elementary School in Springfield were getting set to run in the big GOTR 5K race at the Taste of Arlington, where 2,000 participants were gathered.
They made it early to the school, and waited for the Fairfax County school bus to transport them to the big event. There, they would show they could set a goal and cross the finish line.
But there was a stumbling block. The bus, slated to take the girls to the starting line before 10 a.m., was late. At one point, parents wondered what was going on.
There were anxious phone calls, and soon it became clear: the bus was a no-show.
"I was sad and disappointed that we couldn't run in the actual race," says Bebe Dunlap, 10.
As a compromise, the parents and girls decided to run the race right there at Crestwood; the idea, the parents reasoned, is to teach girls to be confident and self-reliant.
One parent raced to a store to pick up crepe-paper to serve as a finish line. Others laid out the 5K course and deployed water stations, just like the kind at the 5K in Arlington.
"This is a really great community of teachers and parents," says parent Barbara Herod. "When they finished, the parents were here to greet them. It was just really awesome how the community came together."
Creighton Dunlap, 11, looked at the bright side. "I was actually kind of happy because my buddy runner Miss Crummet told me there was no shade there" on the route in Arlington.
"I'm just happy that I ran that far!" Dunlap says of the Crestwood route.
Creighton and Bebe's mother, Katy Dunlap, was dissappointed that the bus didn't show, but "the more important thing was for them to have the chance to do the race this morning after they'd been training for a couple of months."
Still, the girls got to finish the 5K race with their buddy runners.' In the Girls on the Run program, each girl is paired with a buddy runner. Bebe's running partner is Melissa Porfirio, a finalist for National Teacher of the Year.
"She's a wonderful teacher, [and] Crestwood is lucky to have her," Dunlap says, "and we're really glad she's Bebe's buddy runner. She's been a great inspiration for the girls over the years."
Meanwhile, at the Taste of Arlington where some 2,000 girls had run the 5K race, word spread of the snafu at Crestwood.
On the GOTR of Northern Virginia's Twitter feed, there was a "special shoutout to the Crestwood GOTR team for their amazing spirit!"
Katy Comerford, the executive director of GOTR of Northern Virginia, says it was unfortunate that the Crestwood girls couldn't get to the race, but said they'd shown real initiative.
GOTR is about much more than running, and the reaction of the Crestwood team was a tribute to the girls taking part, Comerford continues.
"I think this is a great example of how they build resiliency through this program," she says of the Crestwood team. "They were able to finish the program in their own way. We're so proud of them."

text: Hewitt's ex-coach Rasheed blasts 'second-best' culture Print article Send a Tip AFP 10/28/2012 1:45:29 AM Australian coach Roger Rasheed, the former mentor of Lleyton Hewitt, blasted the also-rans of men's tennis on Saturday, accusing players of giving up on chasing the sport's big four.Rasheed, who has just become the coach of French world number seven Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, insisted that Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray are regarded as virtually untouchable by the chasing pack."The culture that I see at the moment on the tour, with players who are not that bad, is playing to finish second, behind the guys in the top four," said 43-year-old Rasheed."I don't like that mentality and Jo is not like that. He shows it clearly."Rasheed, who worked with former world number one Hewitt from 2003 until 2007 and then Frenchman Gael Monfils between 2008 and 2011, believes Tsonga can become a Grand Slam title winner and smash the dominance of the top four.Tsonga, 27, got close to a major in 2008 when he finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open and has twice been a Wimbledon semi-finalist."Of course he can win a Grand Slam tournament," said Rasheed. "A player has to believe in his capacity to do it. I'd be disappointed if he didn't have that conviction."Jo is one of the few players who are exciting to train. He has decided that he has to do everything possible to make the most of his potential. He has to be congratulated on that."

- Best Japanese food in the Valley!bobnmonaDined on 10/15/2014The owner, Linda, treats you very well and her staff are knowledgeable about every dish they serve. Good parking and decent price for cooked food and sushi.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- original Japanese foodsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/21/2014If you would eat authentic Japanese foods not fusion Japanese, you should be in Hatcho. This restaurant really give you Japanese homy touch "Izakaya" style!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 36 reviews are from the Hatcho reviews archive.
- Worst service ever!InFromTexasDined on 7/24/2014It took us 20 minutes for them to get our drink orders even after getting up twice to flag somebody down. We seem to baffle the waitress by asking for separate checks. They seem to use salt rather than actually add flavor to any food. Our group would rate the sushi at the level of supermarket sushi. To top it off a couple hours after we left I received a call asking if I would give permission for them to charge me more because they did not charge me correctly for the sushi I had. I was astounded after the terrible experience they felt it was okay to call me because they didn't charge me six extra dollars. I could never recommend this place to anyone.
- Nice Japanese food & AmbianceankurDined on 4/18/2014A good place to have Japanese food & beer :) Ambiance is comforting & have traditional Japanese kind of seating arrangement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's at HatchoJenniferTDined on 2/15/2014This was my first time dining at Hatcho. I had heard very good thing about the place from friends that live in the area and was very excited to try it, especially on Valentine's Day with my significant other. Sadly, I was very disappointed. My SO ordered the Udon and I ordered the Sushi Plate Combo. The rice for the sushi was very mushy and tasted like there was too much vinegar added. The Udon was chewy like those store bought udon packages. Overall the food wasn't that great, the only redeeming factor of the night was how charismatic the sushi chef was. I told my friends about my experience and they were very surprised. Maybe they were just having an off night and I was just unlucky.Special Features:
- Not badLReedDined on 1/25/2014Very slow service, understaffed. The food was good; according to the Japanese person in the group it was like authentic "home-style" Japanese food. There was an extremely loud group in the next tatami room, taking sake bombs (wrong place guys, really), screaming, and banging on the walls. Staff apologized for the noise but couldn't stop it. We had a tofu appetizer, a "gasoline" bento, a selection of four small meals, some sushi, and assorted other food. All of it was very good; the teriyaki sauce was a little overly sweet but really yummy. The beer and wine was mid-grade but very drinkable. The price was average. We live nearby and my BF loves Japanese food so we'll probably go again, but overall we weren't knocked over by the experience.Special Features:
- price does not worth for foodKiyotakaImaiDined on 11/8/2013there is a lot of alternatives which are much much much better than here.
- Great eveningJefmelVIPDined on 7/10/2013The family and I had dinner on a Wednesday night. The service was amazing. The food was super tasty and the presentation was spectacular. We highly recommend giving them a try and dinning in the rice paper rooms! Tons of fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic Japanese in Franklin MallOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/28/2013What can I say? First-rate real authentic Japanese cuisine at excellent prices. The only even mild flaw with our meal was that food came out too quickly, not quite giving us time to enjoy each course. In spite of that, I thought it was a phenomenal meal. Hatcho will replace all of my other choices for Japanese in the South Bay. Why? Because it has outstanding fish to please the sushi lover and it has all the Japanese items anyone would like who does not want to have sushi or sashimi. Proof of the quality? Servers who speak Japanese and more than half the diners were Japanese speakers. That has to be a good sign. If I still lived in the area, it would probably be the only place I'd eat Japanese food or sushi.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best authentic japanese foodMarcDined on 5/25/2013Hatcho has the freshest sashimi I have ever eaten in California. Tryout the tempura sea urchin. It's magnificent! The food is comparable to the cuisine that you would have in a Japanese inn in japan.Special Features:
- I will not recommend this restauranOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 5/24/2013I went to this restaurant because I want toro sushi. The restaurant does has very good toro sushi. This is the only food is good. The rest is not good. Service was very poor. When I told the waitress that I want toro sushi, she said someone has to take my order. I waited over 20 minutes for another waitress to take the toro sushi order. I told her I would like toro sushi and don't want spicy dish. she recommended a very spicy tofu dish. That was terrible. I did not eat it at all. My boyfriend packed the dish for the dogs. Also, after they served the food. No server has stop by to check on you - for water or tea. I waited so long for the bill, my boy friend and I walk up to the front desk and ask for it.
- Excellent MenuLewIDined on 5/6/2013Great tasting sushi, soup. Menu goes beyond your typical sushi bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall it's very good, foodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 2/14/2013Overall it's very good, food is delicious. It's a small family style restaurant packed with customers. The decoration isn't super fancy, but the food is comparable to more upper-scale restaurants.
- Had dinner with family andOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/6/2013Had dinner with family and everyone enjoyed their Food and the salmon sashimi was fantastic.Special Features:
- We loved our time at Hatcho!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/11/2013We loved our time at Hatcho! Everthing we ordered was so delicious and incredibly fresh and beautiful! The service was excellent -- we had a reservation and they were very busy but everyone was treated graciously. My husband and I can't wait to go back for his birthday!Special Features:
- Authentic Japanese Cuisine!!!RickSFOVIPDined on 12/10/2012For a simple Japanese restaurant where the ambiance is simple... the food is refined! Excellent quality ingredients, and personable service. Don't be fooled by the tired look to the establishment... if you give them a chance you will be delighted!!!Special Features:
- I love the sushi. It's fresh.kchuanDined on 11/25/2012I love the sushi. It's fresh. The basic roll is okSpecial Features:
- If the restaurant is busyAylnineVIPDined on 8/17/2012If the restaurant is busy service can sometimes be lacking and the orders might be backed up. We came when they were entertaining a large group so they explained to us that the kitchen was tied up, and service was fairly slow as well.Special Features:
- Hatcho is a my favorite sushiMichelinStarHunterVIPDined on 7/3/2012Hatcho is a my favorite sushi restaurant in Santa Clara. The owners are warm and hospitable. There are some tatami dining areas, including a room with a western table for more private occasions. The food is VERY good. I ordered the chirashi. It was well presented (they take it up a notch with the use of Japanese lacquer plates) and the rice was perfect.Special Features:
- Amaebi is a must orderSJCRussellDined on 4/27/2012Very good authentic Japanese food. Really old fashioned and a little odd, but very typical of what you'd find as a family run restaurant in Japan itself. Come for the food, not the decor. Their deep fried tofu appetizer doesn't sound like much but it is fantastic.Special Features:
- It was a nice japanese restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/18/2012It was a nice japanese restaurant having private TATAMI rooms. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a late night dinning place for group. I like the spicy seafood ramen here for lunch too.Special Features:
- Consistently terrific serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/1/2012Consistently terrific service and authentic cooking.Special Features:
- While the food was excellent,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2012While the food was excellent, they apparently don't check their online reservations at all, and even though I made my reservation around 8am, when we arrived at 7pm they had no idea and never put us down on their chart, so there was no room for us (party of 2). They made up a quick table in the corner for us, but even that took a long time because they had messed up at least 3 other reservations also for 7pm (and small groups, 2-3 people). The food was good, but because they were over-packed (trying to squeeze in patrons whose reservations they messed up) it took almost an hour to get even our appetizer. I will try them again to see if perhaps they were just overwhelmed that day (or had someone less than intelligent handling reservations)Special Features:
- Very Japanese - high quality foodSJCRussellDined on 2/4/2012Having travelled extensively in Japan over many years it was a pleasure to dine at Hatcho. It is very authentic. The decor is odd, verging on tacky, the wait service is a little erratic, with not much English, but the food quality is outstanding. Everything in the last sentence is what you will typically find in a family run restaurant in Japan. For Japanophiles I highly recommend Hatcho. If you want a high-end fancy dinner out this is not for you. If it is the food that really matters then this is definitely for you.Special Features:
- The sashimi, tofu dish, snapper,OpenTable Diner Since 2001Dined on 12/17/2011The sashimi, tofu dish, snapper, and chawan-mushi were excellent. We didn't care for the conch - too much of it and no flavor. My shrimp looked and tasted as if it had been overheated before it was cooked. Serving sizes for some of the dishes were too large for kaiseki, which traditionally are supposed to be small tastes of dishes. Some dishes arrived one right after the other, and then there was a spell when we had nothing. We ended up taking food home because we got full at the beginning. A more leisurely time in between might have helped. The staff was warm and amiable. We would come back for sushi.
- They just don't have enoughOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/11/2011They just don't have enough people to serve... Everything is extremely slow!
- Authentic Japanese CuisinecupertinokimsDined on 11/12/2011Real Japanese as opposed to "Korean Japanese" or "Chinese Japanese". Go for authentic food but make sure you know how to order real Japanese dishes. Don't go if you're looking for "chicken teriyaki".Special Features:
- Delicious sushi. Went herekdekasVIPDined on 10/24/2011Delicious sushi. Went here on a weeknight and the restaurant was nice and calm/quiet.
- I haven't been here sinceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/11/2011I haven't been here since 2008, but regret to say the "taste" has changed greatly. Before it reminded me of "Home sweet home, Japan" but now, I think the taste has been "too Americanized". Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the food was bad, just if blindfolded, I would not have thought of Japan. I was glad that they still had good sushi and sake.
- Food is great - authentic JapaneseOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/10/2011Food is great - authentic Japanese cuisine!!! I went there with my 3 girlfriends and my baby. Make a note in the reservation of my baby, and the owner gave us a private room for lunch. Service is very attentive, and love the food - yummy!!! Price is reasonable. We got there around 11:30am & the place seemed empty at first, but new customers kept coming in throughout the lunch period. The only thing is I am not familiar with the Santa Clara area, and took me awhile to find the restaurant since it is in a plaza.Special Features:
- Great Grilled Fish!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/30/2011Me and the wife ate there for our 2 year anniversary this week not looking for anything fancy and ended up having a great meal. What surprised us is they have great dinner specials not on their online menu. For example they have a 3 or 4 item choose your own adventure option where you have the choice of all different types of grilled fish, pork, sushi, etc....I had a 4 item dinner special and I chose grilled salmon teriyaki, grilled saba, tempura shrimp and veggies and 3 piece sushi plate which also came with salad, miso soup and rice. It was all great tasting, fresh and very reasonable! Service was a little slow but we were not in any hurry. All in all, everyone there was really nice and the food was awesome. We will be back!Special Features:
- We often go out for sushi,OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 4/30/2011We often go out for sushi, and Hatcho had some of the best sushi I've ever had anywhere. Perfect salmon, oysters the size of my hand, delicious mackerel...we had a wonderful dinner. I can't wait to go back and try the cooked entrees as well.Special Features:
- Another perfect dinner atOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 4/25/2011Another perfect dinner at Hatcho! couldn't ask for any better, went with my family on my birthday. At the end, Linda gave us a birthday fruit dessert with Chocolate and little candle! so sweet! $300 well spent. best kind of sashimi to die for :-) yummy!!!Special Features:
- Food was great. Service okay,OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/16/2011Food was great. Service okay, but, disorganized. Even though I had made reservations two days earlier, the restaurant had not checked "open table" to see if any reservations had been made. At first, they could only put us at a table by the kitchen. Before we ordered, they came back and said a room had opened up and invited us to sit there, which we did. I think they were sorry about not realizing we were coming. Suggestion....if they are going to use "open table" - they need to check it!Special Features:
- High quality sashimiOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 2/14/2011Hatcho is always our first choice when it comes for Japanese authentic food. High quality sashimi( we always go for Chefs Choice Sashimi Plate) that we can't get it better anywhere in south bay and great customer service. My husband and I took our 4 years old daughter to eat our Valentine's day dinner there. It was another great dinner we had at Hatcho. Thanks Linda!Special Features:
- Superb Authentic JapaneseOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 1/25/2011This restaurant is a treat for those looking for authentic Japanese cooking. I had dishes that I have not been able to find in years (shiokara). The owners are delightful - the chef quite famous in Japan. If you go for the excellent sushi, make sure to order from the kitchen as well to take advantage of the mastery of the chef.Special Features:
- Hatcho is an authentic JapaneseOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 1/1/2011Hatcho is an authentic Japanese restaurant. My group particularly enjoyed the New Year Day special appetizers in the traditional style of Japan, as well as the open sake barrel with the traditional wooden dipper. The entree dinners were excellent and also very authentic.Special Features:
- We visited on New Year's Eve,OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 12/31/2010We visited on New Year's Eve, so it was busy - they could have used extra help. Although we did not request it, we were seated in a private room for 4 which was very nice. We ordered combination dinners - the food was delicious and portions were large. Overall good value. Would definitely recommend and return again!Special Features:

About Isabelle and Pierre, owners
Living in Yukon, Canada for over 16 years and where we have 6 to 7 months of long winter, finding our Oasis on the Big Island was a dream come true! We recently purchased the condo and furnished and decorated it for our enjoyment as well as yours. We plan to come often, but when we are not here, we are sharing our Island Oasis with you!
Isabelle and Pierre, owners purchased this townhome in 2012
Why Isabelle and Pierre, owners chose Waikoloa Beach Resort
This has the best location close to the tropical resort style pool and waterful makes it truly unique! Waking up in the morning and knowing it will be another sunny day, listening to the waterfall from the pool, and being able to use it in a blink of an eye, makes this place ideal for vacation.

Hmm! You watched it ,so soon!!
I enjoy the book, I think it allows our creative minds to explore wide and far, to conjure up situations and the books are so well written that they keep us engrossed till the last page. I am normally a first page to last page reader and cant keep down a book till I finish it and Harry Potter was same. I just found it difficult to keep it down.
Yes!! Even though these books are as big as oxford dictionary ,we cannot resist to complete this book!
My favourite characters - After Harry, Hermoine and Ron, I adore Sirius. In fact, I cried more when Sirius died than when Dumbledore died, and I thought the movie was a bit of a let down when it came to exploring Sirius's character and his bonding with Harry.
Hmm! When I completed that book and when Sirus died I felt sooo bad that one of my real life mentors died!!! Yes! The death of Sirus black and the bonding harry had with sirus was depicted well in the book!!! We do have characters like Sirus Black in real life,who are misunderstood !! They are misunderstood because they depict such characteristics outside!!!
I love Dumbledore and I think he is one of the finest character etched in the book. I am keeping fingers crossed that she would turn the clock back and bring back Dumbledore in the last book, to fight Voldermot.
Hmm! GM ji lemme put some sugar in your mouth for this wonderful thought of bringing Dumbledore alive!!
And I love SNAPE I think he is another real character. Particularly in the end of Half Blood Prince, they defined his character so well and I am keen to see the treatment given to the climax in the movie.... the scene when Harry is confronted by Snape and Snape using the curse on Dumbledore....
Snape ! Another classy character of entire HP series! There is a good reason for Snape to behave in the manner he behaves so!!
Whats interesting in the movie is the casting. They have done a great job with the casting in the movie. Umbridge, a stuck up matronish woman with a mean streak in her played to perfection in the movie.
OH! The mania hasnt left me. I am counting days to 21st and praying that Harry is alive at the end of the book
Mee to waiting for the 7th book!!!

Stop drifting ships and avoid arrows to cross the river.
Can you make Yoshitsune's Hassou Tobi?
[How to play]
1. Stop drifting ships!
- Eight ships are drifted at each stage.
- Press [STOP] button to stop a ship.
- Stop a ship to overlap the yellow area of the ship and the black area in the center of the screen.
?Timing matters because it's failure when the yellow area doesn't overlap the black area.
2. Allow Yoshitsune to cross the river!
- After all ships are stopped, [STOP] button will change into [GO] button.
- Press [GO] button to allow Yoshitsune to jump from a ship to ship.
(Once Yoshitsune starts going, he automatically crosses the river.)
?Timing matters because it's failure when an arrow hits Yoshitsune.
[Game clear & Game over]
When Yoshitsune succeeds in crossing the river within the allotted time, the stage is clear!
- You will go to the next stage.
- The more stage you pass, the more difficult levels.
The game ends when you fail three times.
- Your score and stage are automatically saved.
- Press [Continue] to restart the saved stage.
(When you press [Continue] button to start the game, your score will be slightly decreased.
If you want to get a high score, press [StartNewGame] to play.)
[The key to get a high score]
The wider black area in the center of the screen, the higher score you get.
- Stop a ship to overlap the yellow area and the black area as much as possible!
Your score changes depending on how long the time gauge remains on the top of the screen!
- The faster Yoshitsune crosses the river, the more score you get.
[Trivia: What is Hassou Tobi?]
Hassou Tobi is a super jump that Yoshitsune made in the battle of Dan-no-ura.
He wore a Japanese heavy armor and jumped from a ship to ship.
Yoshitsune's jump skill was extraordinary because according to the legend, the distance between the ships was six meters (about 19.7 feet).… Expand

Appearing in The Sapphires, the Irish star plays the first ever all-Aboriginal girl group's manager in the production, starring alongside Jessica Mauboy, Deborah Mailman, Shariall Sebbens and Miranda Tapsell.
Chris, who married journalist Dawn Porter in August, attended the BFI premiere of the film with his wife, and said that he didn't mind being the only man in a a film full of women.
He said: "Four beautiful women is my go-to place. I grew up with a house full of women so I felt very comfortable."
"They're very fun and very giving. There was no ego on this film, which was nice."

The right stuff

|Archives - December 2009

The goal, according to CEO David Childers, was to give clients yet another avenue to report internal wrongdoings within a company — harassment, theft, security breaches. If an employee were too timid to report, say, embezzlement in the real world, maybe their outgoing, aggressive alter ego in Second Life would take care of business.
"Maybe when they put on the mask of their avatar, they become much more bodacious . . . much more capable of exposing a fraud without fear," says Childers, his native Oklahoman drawl coloring his adjectives.
Lack of interest at the time prevented testing the CEO's surmise — "We were so far ahead of our time it was crazy," he says — but this fall, a client actually called and wanted to know if employees' Second Life avatars could report issues through the EthicsPoint system.
"Obviously we will be going back and putting more emphasis on that," Childers says, happily validated.
Co-founded by Childers in 1999, EthicsPoint hit its initial stride by offering secure, web-based reporting systems and email communications at a time when telephone hotlines and snail mail ruled the day. The pace picked up after Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002. Angel investors graced the company with $4.1 million in 2003, and in 2005 EthicsPoint recast its application to accept data from a much broader range of sources.
"We found that people weren't capturing and documenting those things that came in over the transom as well as they were the stuff on the hotline," Childers says, noting that hotline reports only accounted for 7% to 10% of the issues present in an organization. "If you could get it all together though … you could get a much better feel for the actual risks and issues that are occurring in your enterprise."
Turns out that EthicsPoint was on the right track — and then some. Revenue kicked up from $3.6 million in 2005 to $12.9 million in 2008; Childers expects to see $17.5 million this year and more than $20 million — and profitability — in 2010. Numbers like that are right in line with the company's goal of 25% to 30% annual growth and have somewhat altered EthicsPoint's take on being acquired.
"We always believed that we would have been prey in a rollup or an acquisition strategy," says Childers, noting that EthicsPoint has been approached several times. "Today, looking around, we're open-minded to an acquisition on our own and leading a rollup to be able to inorganically make the company bigger."
But, he adds, the business would always consider any offer that proved to be the right fit at the right price and the right time.
With 130 employees in the Portland metro region, EthicsPoint now serves 2,300 clients around the world, including 161 global Fortune 500 businesses with names such as Siemens and Coca-Cola. It works in more than 20 different sectors, with banking, finance, education and health care providing the most clients.
EthicsPoint also prides itself on retaining more than 90% of its recurring revenue every year. This year, it's 98%. Even so, that's where the company has had to focus even more because in the soured economy, prospects that might see the value of EthicsPoint's application simply don't have the budget for anything new.
"We're using this time to really talk with our existing clients more," says Childers, citing as one example the twofold increase in regional user groups hosted by EthicsPoint this year.
Childers, a 55-year-old graduate of Oral Roberts University and the former CEO of Oregon Scientific, says EthicsPoint has also been cultivating increased European business, making application tweaks where needed to address specific "points of pain" for clients, and closely watching two emerging realms ripe for its solutions: social media and sustainability.
Already, EthicsPoint is using software to monitor company names and fraud-related words as they appear on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. And with sustainability, Childers says all of the money around carbon credits and other green initiatives is an open invitation for malfeasance.
"Follow the money," he says. "If there's going to be money there, there's going to be an opportunity for someone to manipulate that."

Thanks Renegade, I'll get a review for WIWA during the next few days.
JLA Puroresu News-
. The JLA and ROH are in talks for a possible deal! This hasn't been confirmed as of yet but the possibility of Ring Of Honour Stars making the trip to Japan has already got the LiveWire faithful drooling.
. JLA have managed to secure a contract with the Wrestling Channel! This means English fans will be able to watch up to date LiveWire and PPV's, this couldn't come at a better time as the G1 Climax is nearly upon us.
. As we heard last week on LiveWire, Kenta Kobashi will be appearing on this weeks LiveWire. This has come as a shock to some as many thought Kenta would make his JLA debut at the G1!
. There is speculation as to weather the United States and U-30 Title will be contested at the G1 Climax. The JLA and Jr Heavyweight Title is already on the card, many believe JLA Commissioner Antonio Inoki will make the announcement this week on LiveWire.
. Antonio Inoki has banned any Control Terrorism Unit members from interfering in the match between Jushin Liger and KENTA at the G1 Climax. This will be a huge bonus for KENTA as the possibility of having to fight Liger and watch out for the rest of the CTU is pretty daunting, especially when you're fighting for the Jr Heavyweight Title as well!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - An Alabama man accused of committing sexual battery on an unconscious LSU fan after the BCS championship football game that was caught on video that went viral is out of jail.
Court officials say 32-year-old Brian Downing of Smiths Station posted a $10,000 bond Friday afternoon and was released.
Downing surrendered to New Orleans police on Thursday night. He was booked on charges of sexual battery and obscenity.
The video is believed to have been taken at a fast-food restaurant after Alabama defeated the LSU Tigers on Jan. 9. A man clad in Crimson Tide attire appears to be performing a simulated sex act on the LSU fan.
Downing's attorney declined to comment or have his client speak about what happened.

Charlie Sheen is back at work at "Two and a Half Men," and his producer said Saturday that the audience at the actor's first show taping since his arrest on felony and other charges was "incredibly supportive."
Sheen taped an episode of the top-rated comedy on Friday. He was arrested Christmas Day in Aspen, Colo., on suspicion of domestic violence and other charges. Sheen's wife, Brooke, told police he put a knife to her throat, an accusation the actor denies. Attorneys say the couple wants to reconcile.
Sheen showed up at work Monday and rehearsals went well, said Chuck Lorre, the show's creator and executive producer. He said the incident wasn't ignored, but wouldn't say how it came up backstage. Lorre said Sheen seems to be doing as well as he can under the circumstances.
"We did a live show in front of a studio audience and it was a big success for us," Lorre said. "We just came back to work."
A day before the taping, Pitkin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin said that a Colorado judge ruled that Sheen must appear in person Feb. 8 for an Aspen hearing on suspicion of felony menacing, domestic violence and other charges.
Hanesbrands Inc., meanwhile, said it is ending its advertising campaign featuring Sheen. Company spokesman Matt Hall said the seriousness of the allegations against the 44-year-old actor made the decision necessary.
The "Two and a Half Men" production schedule was not altered because of the incident, he said.

Tiffany Bolton: Today, one of these three contestants can win an incredible prize package worth over $5000, but only if they can Beat The Geeks!
Intro to Beat The Geeks during the First Season.Beat The Geeks was a Game Show that ran for two seasons on Comedy Central from 2001 to 2002. It was a basic "Test Your Knowledge" game with a twist: The contestants would be competing against "The Geeks," a group of people who specialize in pop culture trivia fields: A Movie Geek, a Music Geek, a TV Geek, and a Special Guest Geek who would be an expert in a various field.Round 1: The Toss-Up RoundIn Season One, in the first round, four five point toss up questions would be asked. The first contestant to buzz in and answer correctly got the points. The Geeks do not participate in this round beyond adding commentary or giving the answers if the contestants can not. There is one question for each of the Geeks categories. After all four five point questions are asked, four more questions, worth ten point apieces, are asked, again, one for each Geek category. After these questions are asked, the player with the lowest score is eliminated. In the case of a tie for the lowest score, a numerical question is asked, and the tie is determined by which player gets the closest without going over.In Season Two, the format changed. There were four pairs of questions, one for each Geek. The first question, worth ten points, was a toss-up question for all the contestants. Whoever buzzed in and got it right would then go head to head with the respective Geek for a chance to win ten more points (but they could lose five if they got the second question wrong, or the geek buzzed in first and got it right.)Round 2: Challenging The GeeksThe two remaining contestants would then start competing against the Geeks themselves in this round. Each player had one opportunity to challenge a Geek to try and take his/her medal. In the first half, the player in the lead would challenge first, and winning the challenge was worth 20 points. (There was also a ten-point bonus for the Special Guest Geek.) To level the playing field, the contestants received relatively easy questions, while the Geeks received "impossibly difficult" ones. If the contestant got an answer wrong, his opponent could "steal" it for 10 points. For every question a contestant correctly answered, the Geek would have to defend his/her medal by answering a harder, "Geek level" question. If the Geek got it wrong, s/he would surrender his/her medal, and the contestant could wear it for the rest of the game.If the Geek manages to successfully defend his medal twice, the challenge would be decided with a "Fifteen Second Geek-Off." The host would name a category, and the contestant would have to name as many items in that category as s/he could think of in 15 seconds. The Geek would then have to do the same thing with a harder category. If the Geek couldn't come up with more answers (ties favor the contestant), the Geek would lose the challenge. If the Geek beat the Contestant in the Geek-Off, he would retain his medal and the contestant would get nothing.In Season 2, the Geek must correctly answer a question the contestant misses to win the challenge, and vice versa. There were no "steals". If both the Geek and the contestant miss the same question, or four questions are answered correctly, it goes to the Geek-Off. The bonus for defeating the Guest Geek is 20 points instead of 10.The second half is played the same way as the first, except for Double the Points, and the trailing player goes first. The Guest Geek bonus is not affected.Round 3: The Geek-QualizerAfter the Challenge Round, the game is decided by the Geek-Qualizer. The trailing player goes first, and the host names a series of titles, people, places, and things, to which the contestant must respond if each one is best associated with movies, TV, or music. A correct answer is worth ten points. Answering incorrectly or not answering for more than two seconds ends the Geek-Qualizer for that contestant. After the Geek-Qualizer, the player with the lower score is eliminated (ties are handled the same way they are in Round 1), with the remaining player going on to...Bonus Round: The Geek-To-Geek ShowdownIn the final round, the winning contestant can choose any of the four Geeks to challenge in the Geek-to-Geek Showdown. The contestant and the Geek take turns answering questions in the Geek's field, with the contestant going first. The contestant can choose to play a 1 (easy), 2 (harder), or 3 (hardest) point question, and the Geek may not choose a question of lower value than the contestant. The winner is the first to 7 points; if the contestant wins, he/she receives a $5,000 prize package and gets to wear a giant light-up medal as all four Geeks bow down to him/her.

James Clark and other officials said Wednesday that the Citizen's Crime Commission will administer $15,000 offered by private donors, which will be added to the $20,000 offered by police for an arrest and conviction in the homicide.Police said they don't know whether Ketunuti, 35, knew her killer but there were no signs of forced entry into her home."We don't know if she walked in on individuals inside her property," Clark said. "We don't know if individuals forced her inside of her property."Clark said investigators have been following up on tips and viewing surveillance video from security cameras near Ketunuti's home. He said he was confident that police eventually would be able to make an arrest in the case.

IRVING — Everybody wanted a circus.Some even rooted for a circus.And certainly the drama was there when it came time for the Dallas Cowboys to pick 16th overall Thursday night in the NFL Draft's first round.Texas A&M lightning-rod quarterback Johnny Manziel was on the board and the team's top defensive targets had already been taken.But what appeared to be a match made in JerryWorld heaven gave way to the sanity of what was right for the football team.The Cowboys resisted the temptation of taking Manziel, selecting Notre Dame offensive tackle Zack Martin instead.Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the Cowboys considered several trade offers when they were on the clock, but decided they didn't want to give up the opportunity to draft Martin. But they never gave a thought about taking Manziel."Tony [Romo] had everything to do with this decision," Jones said. "We have a big commitment to Tony. There is no way a quarterback comes in and beats out Tony Romo. He is going to be the quarterback for the Cowboys for years to come."Asked about forever being known in Texas as the player the Cowboys took instead of the much-hyped and immensely popular Manziel, Martin didn't flinch."That's fine by me. I can live up to that," Martin said on a conference call from his parents' home in Indianapolis. "It means everything to me. I'm ready to go down there and start competing and being a member of this team. I couldn't be happier."Martin, ranked as the fourth-best tackle in the draft, doesn't fill any of the team's many needs on the defensive side of the ball but, according to the Cowboys, he was the best player left on their draft board.More important, he is another building block for the offensive line that now has three young first-round picks, joining left tackle Tyron Smith in 2011 and center Travis Frederick in 2013.The Cowboys did not take an offensive lineman in the first round from 1981-2010, but now have taken one in the first round in three of the past four years.If you can't help the defense, then why not give franchise quarterback Tony Romo, who is coming off back surgery for the second consecutive off-season, more protection.Look for the Cowboys to plug Martin in at right guard next to Doug Free with a possible move to tackle in 2015 when Free becomes a free agent. Martin said they spoke to him about playing guard Thursday night."One of my biggest things is my versatility," Martin said. "Anything I can do to help the team is what I'm willing to do."The Cowboys have 10 more picks in the draft and will most certainly address the defense when they resume with the second and third rounds on Friday.The choice of Martin capped a suspenseful first round for the Cowboys, whose initial focus was on defense, then had the specter of a falling Manziel.The Cowboys came into the draft hoping to get UCLA defensive Anthony Barr to replace the DeMarcus Ware, who signed with Denver, as the team's pass rush specialist. But Barr went ninth to the Minnesota Vikings.Their next target was Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who was considered a perfect fit for the three-technique position in Rod Marinelli's 4-3 scheme. But the St. Louis Rams nabbed him with the 13th pick.The Pittsburgh Steelers took Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier with the 15th pick, putting the Cowboys on the clock with Manziel still on the board.However, with Will McClay leading the war room for the first time as the assistant director of player personnel, the Cowboys chose the fundamentally sound philosophy of building a team up front over the flash and specter of selling tickets and garnering attention with Manziel."I didn't know where I was going to land, but I couldn't be happier," Martin said. "When I got the call and saw that Dallas number pop up on my phone, I was very excited."The Manziel drama lasted a few more picks until he was chosen by the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd overall pick.

PHL - Ansill closed, maybe permanently, AAARGH
- b
- Buckethead Jul 10, 2009 04:04 PM
I just read Michael Klein's blog:
I couldn't really believe it, Ansill is my favorite restaurant in the city, so I called Ansill just to make sure and also to see if maybe they were open tonight for one last night or something so I could go eat there one last time. David Ansill answered the phone. He said it was true, but that he hopes to re-open in the fall. I really hope that happens. This stinks.
Oh no! What a shame. We didn't get there often enough (neither did anyone else, it seems), but always enjoyed it, and I often recommend it to people. I've head a couple of restaurant folks say things have been really slow lately. I hope he can re-open in the fall.
I know ansill gets much love on this board, but I'm not surprised to hear that it has closed. The first 4 or 5 times we were there it was good to very good. Over the last year & a half the quality level has dipped way down. So far down in fact that about 8 months ago (the last time we were there),/ they were out of 4 different bottles of wine we ordered and 3 or 4 menu items. The waiter actually told us they did not have enough money to pick up the wine/beer order. Crazy, I know... but true. The food we did have was way off, and at that point my wife & i put ansill on our death watch list. I'm surprised it has taken this long to tell the truth.
re: sanfrantransplant
I'm surprised to hear that and I don't think many people would agree with you. The last time we were in (not too long ago) the food was as good as it always has been (very). I can believe the part about the wine/beer order. Things have been very slow at many restaurants because of the economy.
re: sanfrantransplant
"The food we did have was way off"
Out of curiosity would you mind expanding on this comment? Additionally, did you post details about said meal here post factum? I don't mean to call the veracity of your comments into question, but I do wonder why I never heard about your experience until the announcement of the closing.
Frankly, I think the city has lost a true gem: one that put us in the culinary ranks of cities like San Francisco and NY. Without David Ansill's cooking, the range of my culinary experiences would be significantly narrower than they are. His plates were clean, well-composed, and most importantly, delicious. While we were sunning at the beach last week, we had decided to approach David about hosting either our rehearsal dinner or even the reception to our wedding next year. I can't help but feel that without a dedicated outpost to his cooking, we are much worse off.
I do understand why he closed for the summer, if in fact that' s (hopefully) the case: I've been in Ansill in the height of the summer with barely a co-diner outside of my party, but ultimately, the onus falls on folks like myself who only went on a bi-monthly basis. But let this serve as a reminder of just how important it is to support people like David Ansill, for without his willingness to push Philadelphia's food boundries, we may as well be anywhere else.
I've never been to ansill however his last place, pif was WONDERFUL and he closed it to open ansill.....bibou is now in pif's old space what a shame
I'm surprised this thread hasn't got a ton of replies.
David - my staff and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3+ visits to Ansill on Sundays, our day off. You are in inspiration to me.
I hope you are able to re-group and continue to share your expertise with the Philly crowd.
re: Bigley9
Me too. I tried to get there as often as possible, I guess I ignored some of the warning signs (the coupons, expanded BYO nights, the fact that the back room was always empty). I just can't believe that there isn't enough business out there to sustain Ansill, and yet there are many, many places just in that neighborhood that are nowhere near as good that are still in business.
Maybe he'll reopen in another location, with less expensive rent? There's a vacancy on East Passyunk Ave!
re: Buckethead
I do hope he stays on the scene in Philly. I wonder if he'll go the Johnny Mac route and drop some of the foodie-centricity and go more straight forward.
In any case, E Passyunk could use a serious gastropub option a la Pub & Kitchen (with Korean Tacos!) or a modern place similar Ansill but a bit less pretentious. I don't see the exact Ansill concept making it down there, but something creative, casual, and priced like the Cantina would be a great option on the Avenue.
re: barryg
I think with the new found gastropub scene in Philly, Ansill kind of just got lost in the shuffle. It isn't as hip as a center city location and it wasn't quite 100 percent neighborhoody. Speaking of neighborhoods, South Street and its immediate area has turned into a real dive. Its hard to get people to come out on a Saturday night when there are State Troopers on horses on every corner. Its like Beirut down thre on the weekends. He is a good chef and I hope he sees his way out of this, but I am not surprised at all. My next prediction is that we see Supper roll over by the fall.
feel like Ansill had the problem where everyone liked to talk about it but not many people actually ate there. Glad I got there before it closed (?) the food was great, but yeah the atmosphere a little quaint, especially for that area..
feel like it would fit in better in rittenhouse west along 20th or something.
re: silverbullet69
If I had a "complaint", it was the location. It's the other side of town for me, and with the South St. Bridge closing last year, it was even more difficult to get to. Combine that with the poor parking and the mobs of kids and suddenly it's a challenge.
The space, however, was beautiful. I really liked the bar.
My issue is that was too pricey to make it a regular, neighborhood place (hard to get out of there for under $30/person, which puts in the special occasion category for me), but I didnt love the food enough to have it on the special occasion list.

Dropping a pant size
Ok so on feb27 I started my on little atkins/sugar buster diet and I lost 12 lbs in 7 weeks.....ok
I started medi and lost 16lbs in 5 weeks.....
So why haven't I dropped a full dress size yet???
I went from a 16w to just a 16. How long does it generally take to drop a pant size? How many lbs??
Don't get me wrong.....clothes are a lot looser and I am wearing pants that I was going to throw out because they were too tight.
What is the exercise of choice around here? weight lifting? running? walking? jazzercise,zumba? (not that I do anythng but walking).
Love and kisses to all:D
I imagine that change in clothing size has a lot to do with height (and the importance one places on breathing :D). Personally, I've lost 44 pounds. I started at a comfortable 24W and now my 18W are very loose, so I've graduated to a misses 18 (though they are a bit tight straight from the dryer). I reckon it's about 15 pounds per size for me, which seems about right as that would put me in the area of a size 8 at my goal weight.
I think you are correct. I weighed your 130lbs a long time ago and I was size 8. Womans sizes are cut roomier? Had no idea . I thought the W stood for wide. Awful isn't it?
Now I can get in most of my 12s (What's horrid is that I found a pair of size 16 shorts and they fit while all 14s are loose) except one that I can't button. Dagnabbit.
Interesting Factoid;
Did you know around 1991 the textile/fabric and general clothes makers changed how they cut their clothes. They cut them BIGGER.
So if in 1989 you were a size 12? then 1991 you were suddenly a 10.
That was started by the GAP. And their sales went through the roof. Think about it....wouldn't you rather tell peopl you were a 10 instead of a 12.
Haute Couture still runs small today. They want to continue their legacy of making us feel bad about ourselves.
for me its because I wore my old pants so much that they stretched and are now a size or 2 bigger than normal, so my size 10 is wayyyyyy bigger than a normal size 10. if that makes sense.
I think it has a lot to do with your body shape too, and what you are doing for exercise. I have lost -22 lbs now and I have dropped at least one pants size. I started at a 14, and can now where some 10's, but mostly 12's. But I carry most of my weight in my butt and thighs, so my fat loss has come from those locations. But if you carry some weight in your tummy, then it is probably smaller, but that won't show up in pants size. Everyone is shaped different.
Yep, I've lost 30 pounds but have gone from a size 14 to a size 6.
I've dropped almost 80 lbs in 5 months and have gone from a size 22 to a 12 getting close to fitting into some 10's! I love having to keep shopping "down" in size.
I was so excited to clean out my closets! I've been able to find good homes for my old clothes. Family and friends have reaped the benefs of my weight loss in my recycled clothes :clap:
Now I actually want to try on some new clothes. I realized that I tried on several pairs of 10's a few weeks ago, and some fit, some were still a little tight, but I've lost another 6.5lbs since then so maybe they fit now......off to try. :)
WOW!~ thats a LOT of weight to loose!!
haha moxie, youre too funny.... "do I get in trouble..." I hope were all adults enough here.
Ive dropped 20 lbs pretty quickly but I still cant fit into the pants I wore last time I was at this weight (but fitter...) So Im assuming I just lost it in different places since last time I focused a lot more on exercise and less on food.
TOO FUNNY MOXIE (note the CAPS):rofl:! I don't think you'll get in trouble, lol !!!
Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I feel like it's been such a quick transformation, I can hardly believe it myself sometimes!! I can tell you this much, I've been VERY committed to the program and regularly exercise. I began running 2-3 days/week and circuit/strength training on the other days. There are a few things I always do... Journal every single thing I put in my mouth right when I eat it (it's so easy to forget about it until it's too late), drink 128oz of water (some crystal light too) each day and always take my vitamins and supplements. So far, so good :cool:
Good luck to you on your journey!
Got weighed in today and lost 2.8 lbs.....
Thats actually good for me I am usually a 1lbs per week kind of gal.
Well M.O.A.M, you have motivated me....(no easy feat I tell you) This week I will record everything I eat and dring 128oz of water and take my vitamins and exercise. I have to lose 4lbs before next Saturday, (in my friends wedding).
I always get so de-motivated if I do not lose as fast as I think I should. This time around (the final time), I need to find ways to keep going... no matter what. So glad to be able to come here and read and share.
Congrats on your loss this week. I weigh tomorrow and am hoping for at least 2 pounds, but am also a slow loser. I am vowing to do the same as you, write everything down, drink all the water and take all the supplements (I usually miss some). We CAN do this!!
It's really GREAT that you are disease free. I advise you to forget about shape and any form of perfection and do whatever you need to do to feel and be healthy.
I have a closet full of jeans that are one size down. i'll be very happy when they are comfortable. I can button them...but I'd rather breathe. ya know.
I just got back from my weigh in. It had been 10 days because I travelled last weekend to a memorial service. That was difficult but I did okay. I lost a total of 1 lb, but was -3 in fat mass. I am very pleased with this result. I seem to be retaining water despite my watching sodium, drinking at least 100 oz H2O daily, any other suggestions??? I may be stress. I have been under a terrible strain about work these last 2 weeks.
Drink more water dear. Did you say you exercised???
In the spirit of experimentation, I went to Dillard's and selected a variety of size 16 jeans, including Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Levis, and Liz Claiborne (16W). I also had a few other brands that I can't remember. They were all a similar style: mid-rise, boot-cut.
The 16Ws I tried on fit perfectly. The other, regular size 16 jeans seemed to vary in waist size up to 4 inches. They fit as follows, from biggest to smallest:
I actually had a lot of fun trying on all the different designers, even though most didn't really fit yet. I think it's because I can see that they will fit soon and I am so excited to have my world of options expand beyond The Avenue and Lane Bryant. Also, clothes are fitting much better now. Being 5'4", I did not have the height and shoulder width of an Amazon, so things in size 20W and above were never really cut right for me, e.g. shoulders too wide, sleeves and pants too long. I bought a suit jacket a couple of weeks ago (16W) and the openings for the arms are the right size (instead of coming down so far that holding out my arms makes me look like a bat!!)
On a side note, I tried on a size 16 in a Calvin Klein dress pant and was able to zip and button them. They are too tight to wear in public, but they were 70% off and cute, so I bought them for future use :D Oh - and I'm down to a Calvin Klein XL on top! :up:
yayyyy shopping is so much fun.
I did some serious damage this weekend. I am a COMFORTABLE medium for tops , not liek before when i was in denial and stuffing myself into them. my size 10 pants that i was stuffed into are now loose (but stretched out), not quite an 8 yet. I bought 4 t-shirts and 2 going out shirts for like 50 bucks this weekend. FUN!!
I've got an hourglass shape, no rear. So you'd think I'd get in smaller sizes. Ah well, not gonna dwell.
So I was up 2# on my scale today and it was REALLY bothering me cause weigh in is tomorrow... and i remembered I had like 4 large pickles last night at a BBQ along with my turkey burger in lieu of potato salad/pasta salad/other fake salads. I accounted for the calories but Im feeling :doh: right now... its the salt!!
You guys think if I drink a ton of water today and tomorrow morning I will be okay by my weigh in tomorrow PM??
It doesn't hurt to try. Drinking water will help flush out the extra salt/water from yesterday. Even if it doesn't don't beat yourself up about it, you know it was water/salt intake so just pay attention to that next week.
I weight in tomorrow also and I don't think the scale is going to change at all. I lost 6.5lbs the previous two weeks so I wasn't expecting a big drop again this week, plus my TOM is due tomorrow also, so it's not a good weight week. I feel bloated even though I've been drinking a ton of water. Oh well we'll see. And I know in a couple weeks it will all even out anyway. If you stick to the program it does work!
yeah baby
Lost 3 this week and and 2 last week. Medi total of 20 and 32 from privious dieting. I am also happy to say I am in the 14's.
so I went from 16w to 16 to 14.
A big thanks to Mom on a Mission for the motivation.:kicking:

1974 Norton Commando Roadster.
BIRTH OF THE COMMANDOWhile the Commando was a direct descendant of the the Norton Atlas & the Dominator line before that, the Commando was definitely not evolutionary. It was revolutionary, a true game-changer. Not because of some amazing new engine, not because it was all that faster than the model it replaced. It was because the new Norton Commando solved, in one brilliant design concept, the biggest problem that had been nagging every British motorcycle manufacturer for the past 20 years. Vibration!ISOLASTIC SUSPENSIONThe new Norton Commando came with a brand new frame, a whole new idea for a frame, one that isolated the engine & its vibration, from the rest of the bike via rubber mounts. It was called Isolastic Suspension & it immediately made the Norton Commando a runaway hit! Norton Motorcycles was now free to extract the kind of power the big twin was capable of without worrying about shaking the machine & rider to pieces!
1968 Norton Commando Fastback. Norton motorcycles became known for their loud & sometimes outlandish color schemes.
1972 Norton 750 Commando Fastback. A front disk brake actually arrived partway through the 1972 model year. Some early 72s still sported this fine TLS front drum, which utilized the same drum as the old SLS front brake used on the Norton Atlas.
1974 850 Norton Commando. Another innovation in the new Commando was the slanted cylinders. This was essentially the same engine as used in the Norton Atlas 750, but instead of being vertical like the Atlas, they tilted this engine forward before mounting it, to give it a distinctive, more modern look. It worked.
Another example of Norton's wild taste in colors, this 1974 Norton 850 Commando is done it "Bowling Ball Blue". Called that because the bright blue with huge metal flakes looked like the way they finish bowling balls. For a close-up of this tank & logo, go to the top of the page

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Cap Estate - FORTRESS LUXURY APARTMENTS
Villa, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths, (Sleeps 6-10)
A true representation of its name, The Fortress stands proudly amongst the lush green foliage in the heart of Cap-Estate. This pair of adjoining but separate luxury villas, represents a unique vacation for any person or family looking for a peaceful, tranquil, relaxing, rejuvenating yet modern vacationing abode.
The Fortress boasts one of the most unique views of St. Lucia. From the balcony one can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee along with the fabulous sunrise over the Atlantic and on an evening from the same spot, take in the stupendous sunset in the west.
For a spectacular view even closer to home, one can gaze at the glistening waters of the private pool surrounded by exotic, wide-branched palm trees. Other local vegetation is grown in the garden surrounding the apartments such as mango, cherry, ripe banana, tomato, guava, and lime trees. Exquisite flowers can also be found in the garden such as roses, pink, white, purple and orange bougainvillea, and hibiscus to name a few.
The larger villa consists of two bedrooms and two bathrooms(including one Jacuzzi). This villa also has a spacious, partly circular, well ventilated and lit kitchen facing the Atlantic Ocean on the East. Both entrances/exits lead to a 'crescent moon' balcony facing the Caribbean Sea on the West.
The family room and dining room are served by an interior wooden bar.
Both bedrooms are air conditioned and include cable television and FM/Alarm clock radio whilst the bigger of the two bedrooms has a convenient work desk.
The balcony is a unique semi circular, common structure of the villas and is separated by an intricately designed PVC arrangement adorned with natural plants; this see-thru separation allows viewing of both the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea.
The smaller villa has a similar design but facing west to towards the Caribbean Sea. Its family room is separated from the dining area by beautiful wooden banisters, with both the family room and single bedroom being air conditioned for further comfort. This villa is adjacent to the common outside private pool.
The pool is uniquely situated for viewing both oceans to the west and east, and has a terrace extension for sun bathing or just enjoying the surrounding foliage and Fortress plants and fruit trees.
Both villas are tiled and are furnished with beautiful, straw woven furniture, modern varnished cupboards, and simple yet fully secured PVC rectangular windows. Both villas have laundry rooms and everything else necessary for a comfortable vacation.
