Last week I was made aware of a web site called GuideGuide.com by Shawn Askinosie. The About page says that the site's mission is to "provide the world's largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of consumer products." (Note: Shawn objected to the ratings of his products and they are no longer on the GoodGuide web site, pending review I assume. The observations that follow are based on notes I took before the listings were removed.)
GoodGuide claims that they have more than 100,000 products in their database and an extensive roster of scientists who review every product (or, more likely, set the criteria for what "good" is and then computer programs parse data about the products and come up with ratings).
There is a problem, though with the ratings methodology, in my mind.
A great deal of weight for the environmental and social rankings is placed on the presence of eco-label certifications. No organic certification? Then you get bad environmental ranking. No social certification? Then you get bad society ranking. It doesn't matter what other programs a company might have in place. It doesn't matter what actual benefit a company delivers to its suppliers.
All that matters is the certifications.
If there is a chocolate company on the planet that - measured by dollar of revenue or per employee - delivers more positive impact to the communities it works with than Askinosie, I'd like to know about it. I've traveled with Shawn on bean buying trips and knew about the way he wanted to do business before he made his first bar of chocolate. We've talked regularly since we first met in mid-2005 about how he runs his business, influenced by Jack Stack's A Stake in the Outcome and his practice of open-book accounting and profit sharing with the communities he buys from. Shawn takes personal responsibility for doing what he knows to be the right thing to do.
Let's take a chocolate company that got higher Good Guide ratings, TCHO. One of the things that has never been clear (to me - and I know the founder and major funders) about TCHO is how closely the actual manufacturing processes match the claims on their web site. I am pretty confident that they have never manufactured any significant amount of product - from the bean - in the factory on the pier in San Francisco. They can't fire up their roaster and I don't know anyone who's seen the entire line in operation. Their TchoSource program is interesting, but it's meaningless unless they can stay in business - probably one of the reasons that the funders ousted founder Timothy Childs. They've always had a small lab producing their beta samples and pre-production runs so they can claim to be manufacturing bean-to-bar on the pier, but the quantities are not commercial quantities.
But TCHO has several products that are made with both FT and organic certified beans. They get great marks on the environmental and social scale, while those that are not get much lower marks (which is to be expected).
Askinosie uses packaging that is quite environmentally friendly. TCHO uses less environmentally friendly paperboard and gold foil imprinting for their boxes. But there is no place in the Good Guide methodology for any chance to think about the marketing messages and other aspects of the companies' businesses - like packaging and ethics - affect factors like environment and society.
Jif peanut butter got higher ratings than Askinosie. Is that a "good" thing?
The Good Guide health rating for chocolate is dominated by one factor - the saturated fat in chocolate. What the scientists fail to recognize is that the triglyceride structure of the saturated fat in chocolate makes it a "healthy" fat (like olive oil and coconut oil) and not a "bad" fat like saturated animal fats. (Specifically, "the nutritional value of the food, as characterized by a standard method of nutrient assessment called the "Ratio of Recommended to Restricted Nutrients" (RRR)." Easy to write a program to do that, hard to take into account differentiations that make a meaningful difference.)
While there are issues with the density of calories in chocolate and the percentage of calories that come from sweeteners, the Good Guide has no place in its ratings methodology for the growing science into the very real health benefits of chocolate: they make no meaningfully useful distinction between chocolate (i.e., a bar of chocolate from a craft producer) and candy (i.e., a Snickers bars) in their ratings.
Their shopping tips for buying chocolate bars are way too general on the issues of child and slave labor, entirely misrepresent issues in traceability, and confuse the need for fertilizer with the use of pesticides.
They also place way too much emphasis on certifications saying that, "Certifications ensure the chocolate has been produced under industry leading labor and environmental conditions." I BEG YOUR PARDON? You're confusing cacao growers and chocolate makers here in a way that is not defensible.
Which, for me, these issues make the entire Good Guide methodology for all products suspect. I can tell you that I will never be using their service and will never recommend it to anyone, either.
If that weren't enough, I received a confusing press release from a magazine called Organic Monitor over the weekend. Organic Monitor is hosting the Sustainable Foods Summit in San Francisco next week (January 17-18). I won't be attending as members of the press who are not employed by the media sponsors of the event must pay to attend (though the rate is discounted.)
In taking a look at the list of presentations one thing becomes instantly clear: There are no producers making presentations. The only people talking are the companies and organizations who have made millions of dollars successfully selling eco-labeling.
The absurdity of the situation was further highlighted in the press release, in which Organic Monitor posits that consumers are becoming disillusioned and confused by what organic certification really means and what the meaningful differences are between FLO Fairtrade, FTUSA Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Utz, Fair for Life, and more.
Organic Monitor suggests that mobile apps that enable consumers to use QR (quick response) codes and other techniques to look up information about products as they are making their purchases and make better, more informed, decisions.
They point to Good Guide as being an exemplar of the way the industry seems to be going.
But wait. Don't the Good Guide ratings rely on the very eco-labels Organic Monitor predicts they are going to supplant?
What's an informed chocolate consumer supposed to do?
1) Buy from small producers who work you like and that you can get to know personally or through close friends and/or people you trust.
2) Don't blindly assume that because a product is organic means that it was produced in an environmentally sustainable fashion.
3) Don't assume that "Fair" trade means that smallholder farmers are treated fairly. Even when organized, growers lack the economic leverage to ensure they receive the benefits the fair trade certification process says that they are entitled to and that they have paid for. AND, remember, all of the "Fair" trade certifiers are non-profit organizations that rely heavily on industry support. Kraft pays dearly for the use of the Fairtrade label on their bars and probably pays nearly as much in licensing fees as it does in premiums. That is a fundamental conflict of interest that people blithely ignore - to the detriment of producers.
In other words - do your homework and develop the personal relationships necessary to understand what is really going on. Certification is a huge business with the backing of huge corporations. Follow the money. Who controls the economic leverage?

Clay thanks for highlighting the weakness of the certification programs. My partner and I own a cacao farm in Ecuador. We have gone back and forth on if we want to pursue fair trade certification/rain forest alliance. So far that answer has been no as we haven't needed it from a marketing standpoint so the hassle is not worth the time and money. I like the idea of a certificate to show that we are good citizens, treat our workers well, are environmentally friendly, etc etc. However I feel like many of them are so fundamentally flawed as to be worthless.
Thanks for the astute analysis Clay. One of the main points you make is all about marketing-the big guys have the money and voice to shout, shout, shout about how great their products, certs. etc. are, and if you say something enough times unfortunately it often becomes "truth" even though it may not be. It's going to be a long slog but for those of us who are the "little guys" with direct connections to farmers, producers, and small scale chocolatiers, we know it's the only way to go. Direct connections/relationships are the key.
I'm the Chief Scientist at GoodGuide and want to respond to the methodological issues you raise about our ratings of chocolate products.
1) Role of eco-certifications
GoodGuide uses third-party certifications throughout its product and company ratings, because third-party efforts to validate performance against environmental or social standards typically represent the strongest evidence available for identifying the best products/companies in a category. In the absence of certifications, the preponderance of evidence about a product or company is comprised of whatever information a company opts to make public via its website, CSR reports or marketing. As I'm sure you would agree, company-provided information rarely discloses the negative aspects of operations or products, and can often be characterized as "greenwashing." While third-party certification services vary in what attributes they cover, the stringency of their standards, and their degree of authoritativeness, I think there is no question that they generally produce more credible evidence of "goodness" than a manufacturer's unverified self-assertions. Your alternative approach - that consumers should "develop the personal relationships necessary to understand what is really going on" with each producer - is simply not realistic for most consumers. Most purchasing decisions are made by consumers who have have limited bandwidth for identifying which products match their social or environmental preferences. GoodGuide is designed to be a service for these consumers - they rarely research the production context of their purchases, and want actionable decision support at the point of purchase. Few are going to conduct independent research, or establish personal relationships with producers.
At GoodGuide, we review the certifiers active in any given product category, determine what issues a system covers, assess the stringency of a certification and the proportion of a manufacturer's catalogue or a product's components that are certified. As a result, different certifications impact a company or product score in ways that are influenced by our overall judgement of a system. We are transparent about how we judge different certifiers (see http://www.goodguide.com/categories/255760-candy##btr for chocolate and http://www.goodguide.com/categories/255779-coffee##btr for coffee). We are open to feedback criticizing the relative weight we assign to different certifiers on different issues, and we are aware there is a lot of controversy currently about changes in the certification landscape such as those associated with Free Trade labels. GoodGuide definitely does not see itself as replacing the good work being done by third-party certifiers - we are not a standard-setting or auditing entity, we are an aggregator and integrator of the public information available on products or companies. From our perspective, the most important limitation of certifiers is that they typically address only a very small percentage of the products in a consumer product category - they can help identify the best performers, but they don't help distinguish between the majority of products that a consumer finds on a retail shelf.
2) Penalizing products that lack certification
Your comments (and separate emails from Shawn Askinosie) have raised a legitimate issue regarding whether it is appropriate to penalize a product with a lower score if it lacks certification. In most product categories, GoodGuide rewards a product that has a certification with a higher score. However, in the case of chocolates and coffee, our methodology penalizes products that lack certification in addition to rewarding products that have certifications. We provide the following explanation for this practice: "While there are some gradations between the least stringent and the most stringent certifications, all of them represent a clear step above coffees [or chocolates] that do not have any certification in an environmental or social context. As a result, products that do not have any certifications generally earn lower scores. Certifications provide credible evidence to consumers that a product has been produced in accordance with basic environmental and social standards. The absence of a certification does not mean that a product was grown under unacceptable conditions, but the consumer has no way of knowing what practices were utilized to produce the commodity they are purchasing."
This practice can result in inaccurate scores if a company operates with sustainable practices but does not seek verification of these practices by third-party certifiers. Askinosie maintains that its environmental and social performance exceed the requirements of chocolate certification systems and that the company and its suppliers have legitimate reasons for not engaging third-party certifiers. We are currently considering how to revise our system so that well-documented but self-asserted performance information can displace the default negative score we assign due to the absence of certifications.
3) Health impacts of chocolate ingredients
GoodGuide uses a standard scientific method for evaluating the nutritional value of different foods. The Ratio of Recommended to Restricted Nutrients (RRR) is a measure of nutrient density designed to apply across multiple types of food. The goal is to utilize a measure that will help people select foods both within categories and across categories, so it necessarily focuses on a defined sub-set of nutritional components. You are correct that there is recent research suggesting that not all saturated fatty acids are created equal. However, this research is in its infancy and there is little information on the percentage of each type of saturated fatty acid in different foods. In the absence of detailed saturated fat composition data across categories, we are unable to include this variable in our ratings. Note that this is not as simple an issue as your blog post implies. The existing information on fatty acid composition (from the USDA Nutrient Database) of chocolate vs. olive oil vs coconut oil indicates that these three products are quite different. Calling the saturated fat in chocolate "healthy" by comparing it to these other fats would be a stretch. Olive oil is primarily comprised of monounsaturated fat (and very little saturated fat, in fact). Coconut oil, on the other hand, is primarily comprised of saturated fat - specifically lauric acid, a medium-chain triglyceride that may not be as harmful as other, longer-chain saturated fatty acids. Chocolate/cocoa butter is also primarily comprised of saturated fatty acids - specifically palmitic and stearic acids. Although stearic acid may not be as bad as other saturated fats, palmitic acid has not been exonerated at all. Again, detailed research on saturated fatty acids is in its infancy - so much so that no major worldwide health organization has revised its position on limiting saturated fat in diets. While we recognize the distinction between different types of saturated fatty acids, we do not yet believe there is enough evidence or data to incorporate this distinction into our rating system.
Bill, thanks for coming on the boards and replying. I learned a lot from your post. I appreciate your position and I actually ran across your website probably a year ago and have used it from time to time. I think you guys do a great job with what you can reasonably do and I agree that most consumers don't have enough bandwidth to learn about each purchase they are planing. I suffer from bandwidth problems myself and yet I want people to look into their chocolate more. Hypocrisy I know.
Now that I own a smallish cacao farm I see the certifications in a different light. They are a cost in terms of time, money, resources that we just don't have. Nowhere do I get to brag about the fact we don't slash and burn or that we provide meals and housing for our workers as well as pay them a reasonable wage that is a good 30% higher than others. Or that we are developing a land owners program as a pension for our long term workers so that when they no longer can work with us they will own enough land to support their family. Anyways, I'm just venting my frustration that I'm sure many can share as many of us are small enough that certifications are a serious burden that I'm interested in pursuing but just can't at this point and still be able to treat our workers like we want to.
Sorry I took so long to reply and again i really appreciate your response on the boards. What is your take with the latest fair trade shenanigans?
TCHO is one of the most exasperating chocolate companies in the US today. A bit of background. I first met the founder of TCHO, Timothy Childs, three to four years before he started the company, at a previous chocolate startup called Cabaret. I met sourcing director, John Kehoe, back in 2003 in Ecuador. I met Jane Metcalfe and Louis Rossetto (co-founders of Wired) back in 1990.
Back in late 2007 I wrote the first serious coverage (from inside the chocolate industry) on the company. Their go-to-market strategy was brilliant, and they muffed it. I so much wanted them to succeed and it seemed like they couldn't get out of their own way. They were vaporware for over a year and then, when they did start production, it was not as the bean-to-bar manufacturer on the pier in SF that they claimed to be, so they misrepresented a basic brand positioning and have been slow to address it. I think their new web site does a better job of discussing what they are doing than the old one did. But, one of the points I've made to them repeatedly since their post-beta vaporware period is that the founders of Wired don't get a free pass when it comes to communicating via the Internet.
What I have been astounded at is how bad the company has been at highlighting one of its major contributions, which is the TCHOSource program. IMO, it's one of their strongest assets (always has been) and they still don't understand how to leverage it to their best advantage. I've had discussions with several members of the company about that point in the last six months, in fact.
The thread you cite in your link was started in 2008 and it looks like my last contribution was late in 2009. As I state above, I have been in contact with the company recently about many of the issues you raise.
Chris -
You assume that anyone who's seen the tour sees the entire manufacturing operation - and that they are sophisticated enough to know what they are seeing and can evaluate what they are being told. That's not always the case, in my experience.
The updates to the TCHO web site are recent - they post-date the date of my original post on this subject by several months. To the best of my knowledge and ability to ascertain, I act on information that is correct as of the time I post it. If things change I am happy to acknowledge that things have changed, address the changes, and then move on. I appreciate your noticing that things have changed and bringing those changes to my attention.
TCHO's opinion regarding their being bean-to-bar is not one that is universally shared by the craft/artisan chocolate community. Just because they believe that it does, doesn't make it so in the eyes of their peers. Their position was undermined because their marketing position at the beginning was bean-to-bar on the pier and that message did not evolve as their manufacturing situation evolved.
I was with Shawn on his first bean buying trips (April 2006) and was also involved, very early on, in helping him get the business started. My assistance included working on marketing communications and I can assure you, from the very beginning, that the level of openness about sourcing and other aspects of the business has been integral to the operation both in their packaging and on the web site and electronic communications. The operation has evolved in many ways, so he's doing a better job at communicating than at the very beginning, but he has always been at the vanguard, at least in the US, IMO.
From the beginning, Shawn wanted to take personal responsibility for the relationship with the growers he sourced from, not abdicate that responsibility to a third party that, in his opinion, did not deliver the value (and the values) that he was interested in providing. His Chocolate University project in Tanzania is just one aspect of the work he does that would never be recognized within an institutionalized fairtrade model. The world (of chocolate) is way too complex to reduce to formulas on a general consumer web site.

What would I ever do without you? LOL. This is the first time I'm reading this beautiful letter. It made me smile and cry at the same time! A few minutes ago I was feeling so angry, so I logged on because I knew I'd begin to feel better, and look, you did make me feel better. :) I'm proud to be one of your Angels.

I pray that God gives you ten more years, and then another ten more years and so on until the day you take your place upon that pedestal alongside of the legends that you look up to. May God always stand first in your heart, and may you always feel humble, even though you're so important. You've changed so many lives and you're making the world a better place with your talent.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney boards his plane in Norfolk, Va., Friday, Nov. 2, 2012, as he travels to campaign events in Milwaukee, Wis. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
Updated: November 2, 2012 11:16AM
NORFOLK, Va. — Mitt Romney says the one-tenth-of-a-point increase in the unemployment rate to 7.9 percent is, quote, "a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill."
The Republican presidential nominee says voters will decide Tuesday between what he calls stagnation and prosperity.
He made the comments in a statement while traveling from Norfolk, Va., to Milwaukee, to continue campaigning in the final days of the White House race.
Romney argues that President Barack Obama's policies have crushed America's middle class, and that the nation can do better. He's also promising to make real changes that will lead to a real recovery.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

We use an aircard for the texting, which allows wireless access for a laptop anywhere via cell phone service, to download all registrations texted to us, import them into Flocknote.com, then we send them a message to complete the registration process.
Tuesday I will will send them a message (from our pastor, Fr. David) and ask them to go to our website to finish the registration process. If they complete the process they are automatically signed up to win one of the following prizes:
- An Apple Ipad
- 5 students get to go to Lunch with the priests and head football coach Mike Sherman
- 5 students get to go to Lunch with the priests and head basketball coach Mark Turgeon
- One of 20 gift certificates
Please pray for success of our efforts. A short introductory video on Flocknote.com's page gives you a nice quick way to understand their efforts. Also, I know that Flocknote is currently working on incorporating a 5-digit texting number into their website, so that other parishes can duplicate our efforts here at St. Mary's. So, it should be even easier to accomplish our goals next year.
Did I mention that the founders and owners of both Flocknote and eCatholicChurches (the company who hosts our website) are Aggie Catholics?
UPDATE (9/9/10): TX State has already followed suit and Yale is planning on doing so as well. Now, we need to get other parishes, ministries, and apostolates to follow suit.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - When someone buys a lottery ticket, Colorado wins.Twenty years ago voters created Great Outdoors Colorado, and designated a portion of lottery ticket profits to fund GOCO's efforts to protect the state's wildlife, parks, rivers, trails and open spaces. Renowned nature photographer John Fielder, and a GOCO founder, is touring Colorado to commemorate the 20th anniversary with two new books: "The Guide to Colorado's Great Outdoors: Lottery-funded Parks, Trails, Wildlife Areas and Open Spaces," and its companion, "Colorado's Great Outdoors - Celebrating 20 Years of Lottery-funded Lands."Fielder will be in Grand Junction Saturday, Nov. 17, to give a slideshow presentation about GOCO's work using its share of state lottery funds. The Colorado Mesa University Ballroom event is a fundraiser for Mesa Land Trust, a private, nonprofit land conservation organization founded in 1980, by a small group of Palisade-area farmers. Since then, the land trust has preserved more than 63,800 acres, thanks in part to Great Outdoors Colorado."We're the only state in the country that uses lottery profits" to benefit its natural resources, Fielder said. "It's worked out well. Now we've got the best parks and trails in the country."The GOCO board of directors partnered with Fielder to photograph county and city spaces; wildlife habitat; state parks and wildlife areas; local and regional trails; community parks, ball fields and playgrounds; and private ranches across Colorado. "GOCO worked with John on these books as a way to celebrate the projects that land trusts, local governments and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife have been able to achieve with GOCO/Lottery dollars," GOCO spokesman Chris Leding said. The guidebook features more than 500 public places in all 64 Colorado counties that GOCO has invested in, such as local parks, wildlife areas and trails, Fielder said. In Mesa County, GOCO has awarded $27.8 million for projects.The picture book contains "more dramatic photos," including places not accessible to the public, such as private ranches and orchards, Fielder said. Harry Talbott's Palisade orchard is one of the Mesa County properties featured in the book.Known primarily for his work photographing public lands such as national parks and wilderness areas, Fielder's last two projects have sought to promote the idea of protecting farm lands and open space via conservation easements. Great Outdoors Colorado grant money helps land trusts purchase the development rights on private lands.All ticket proceeds from the weekend events will go to Mesa Land Trust. Fielder will teach a photography class Sunday, Nov. 18, from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. The class will be held at the conserved Horsethief Canyon Ranch near Loma. Cost is $200, which includes brunch.Additionally, 30 percent of all book sale proceeds will be donated to Mesa Land Trust.Fielder's presentation will feature several GOCO investments in Mesa County, said Mary Hughes of Mesa Land Trust."GOCO has enabled much of our conservation work; it will be exciting to see GOCO's local investment in the presentation," she said. Fielder was awarded the Ansel Adams Award in 1993 by the Sierra Club, and, in 2011, he was given the Aldo Leopold Foundation's first Achievement Award to an individual. Tickets are available by calling Mesa Land Trust at 970-263-5443, or visit www.mesalandtrust.org.

The Turntable installed in 2008 works by carefully balancing the locomotive, which can weigh 165 tonnes, on a central pivot which is then manually rotated round. The benefit of this is that the station will be able accept incoming steam charter trains from the national network, to turn and service them and send them back again.
The layout of Minehead Station means that visitors can stand on all sides of the turntable and see how one man can single-handedly turn around a locomotive.
The Turntable is use during special events and galas and on selected other days.
Todays passenger arriving at Minehead has a choice of directions and destinations to follow from the station entrance. A left turn across the adjacent car park brings you to the Minehead Eye which is an exciting and innovative project whichprovides a dedicated, purpose-built extreme sports skate park and youth centre. A right turn takes you along the seafront towards Butlins Resort. The path continues past the centre and the golf course and can be followed to Dunster Beach and Blue Anchor.
Crossing the road and walking along the esplanade takes you towards the tall feature of North Hill. Along the way you pass the start of the South West Coast Path, which if followed in its entirety will take you to Poole Harbour via Lands End in Cornwall. The road eventually reaches the harbour which is the point where historic ships, the "Waverley and the "Balmoral pay their periodic visits to the town, bringing loads of visitors (and some passengers to the Railway) in an evocation of the Great Days of Bristol Channel Shipping. For those seeking some quiet and tranquillity turning off the esplanade and up into North Hill is recommended but be aware that there is some hard hill climbing involved.
The left turn out of the Station takes you past the former Beach Hotel to the tree-lined Avenue of independent and high street shops, cafes, tea rooms and pubs and Blenheim garden popular with coach companies as a base for touring the area and into the main shopping area of the town. As you would expect there is a variety of accommodation to suit all pockets in Minehead and apart from the railway journey it is a good base to explore Exmoor and the Quantock Hills.
History of Minehead Station
Minehead is another town which grew rapidly as seaside holidays mushroomed in popularity, and particulary benefitted when the original West Somerset Railway extended into Minehead in 1874 from Watchet. More details about the Railway and the way the town developed, into a town from some scattered housing and a small harbour, can be found in the booklet "They must have been Mad written by John Dixon and is available from the Friends of Minehead Station.
The Railway Station grew from being a small seaside terminal and its final stage of development took place in 1933 when the platform reached its present length of a quarter of a mile. The Signal box at the Station throat once saw service at Dunster but was moved to Minehead as traffic grew in the early years of the "preservation era. There was once a loco shed but this was demolished by British Rail when steam finished on the national network. Today the former goods shed has been converted and extended to house the West Somerset Railways Locomotive Departments workshops and facilities. The station building currently is home to the Railways administrative offices.
The booking office is at the front of the building, which dates from the 1980s and was constructed by volunteers, paid staff and participants in a job creation scheme. The internal woodwork and windows come from the old booking office at Cardiff Central Station.
Station Maintenance is carried out by the Friends of Minehead Station.

Maine West recognizes second hazing incident involving same coach
BY JON SEIDEL Staff Reporter email@example.com November 25, 2012 8:12PM
Maine West High School in Des Plaines | Sun-Times files
Article Extras
Updated: December 27, 2012 6:18AM
The Maine Township school district acknowledged Sunday night it recently learned of a 2008 hazing incident on a baseball team led by the coach now accused of sanctioning the sexual assault of a 14-year-old soccer player in a hazing ritual this year.
The incident was reported to officials at Maine West High School in August 2008, according to the district, and involved players for the freshman team coached by Michael Divincenzo, who is now reassigned with pay from his duties as varsity boys' soccer coach at the school.
Now district officials are asking anyone with knowledge of similar hazing incidents to report them.
"We have already begun taking steps to re-emphasize within our schools the serious nature of bullying and hazing," said Supt. Ken Wallace, "and to send the clear message that we will act decisively to stop bullying and hazing from reoccurring and to investigate and strongly respond if it occurs."
At least four freshman baseball players allegedly pulled down a teammate's pants in the school locker room in spring 2008, according to the district.
When the hazing was reported, district officials said, the students involved were interviewed and disciplined at the school level.
But administration officials at Maine Township High School District 207 said they didn't learn about the incident until Nov. 16, just days before Chicago lawyer Antonio Romanucci sued the district over the alleged hazing of the 14-year-old soccer player.
Maine Township officials said the parents of the baseball player spoke to Wallace and an assistant superintendent. But Wednesday, the family told Wallace it no longer wished to talk about the incident on the advice of an attorney, according to the statement.
The district said Wallace ordered officials to notify the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services about the 2008 incident.
Romanucci confirmed Sunday he's the attorney mentioned in the district's statement, and he called the district's response "appalling."
"They've had a written notification that this incident took place four years ago," Romanucci said, "and I will be releasing that proof."
Romanucci wouldn't elaborate on the spring 2008 incident, though he called it "very egregious conduct" that should have been stopped a long time ago. He said the discipline given to the students involved "was much less than a slap on the wrist."
"My understanding is that the punishment for these children, pulling down the pants of another child and ridiculing him in front of everyone else, was to be withheld one inning from a baseball game," Romanucci said.
Divincenzo couldn't be reached for comment Sunday. He's previously told the Sun-Times he was advised by the school district and his union not to comment. He and another soccer coach have been reassigned with pay, and three other coaches who don't teach have been relieved of their coaching duties.
Current and former students at the school have defended Divincenzo, though, and one former soccer player said the coach would never have tolerated hazing as described in Romanucci's complaint.
That lawsuit accuses Divincenzo and other soccer coaches of ordering the team to do a "campus run" on Sept. 27. That's when the lawsuit said the 14-year-old soccer player was grabbed by older members of the team who tore off his underwear, held him down, grabbed his testicles and sodomized him with their fingers and other foreign objects.
The lawsuit alleged it was "part of the soccer team's culture and has been sanctioned by its coaches for years."
Des Plaines police have already charged six students as juveniles with misdemeanor battery and hazing, and 10 students have been disciplined.
Maine Township school officials denied earlier this week that the incident is indicative of a larger culture of hazing within the district, but Romanucci said two other students were hazed in a similar way on Sept. 27. He also said last week he knew of one other incident before he filed his lawsuit, and he learned of two more since.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra released more details Saturday about its decision to terminate conductor Arild Remmereit.
The RPO claims that soon after Remmereit was hired back in 2010, "tensions" developed between him and members of the staff, the board and the orchestra.
The board says after Remmereit's first season as musical director, the situation grew worse. However, the RPO did not give more details, saying it would violate its own human resources policy if it did.
The board said after taking into consideration input from musicians and the impact of donors, it decided to terminate Reemereit's contract. The RPO will create a search committee to find a new music director.

Having read everything Martina Cole had to offer and becoming really frustrated with her most recent repetitive books this is a breath of fresh air! Chambers gets to the point without overly describing everything. Gritty, dramatic and a bit violent definitley one for old Martina Cole fans!

WASHINGTON - Few would argue there is anything more painful than losing a spouse, but having her husband's life insurance policy paid to his ex-wife exacerbated the pain for a Fairfax County woman.
Jaqueline Hillman's attorney will argue her case Monday before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hillman's husband, Warren, had failed to change the beneficiary of his federal life insurance policy after divorcing his ex-wife, according to Jacqueline Hillman's attorney, Daniel Ruttenberg.
When Warren Hillman died, benefits to his Federal Employees Group Life Insurance policy were paid to his ex-wife, Judy Maretta.
"More often than not, the person who just died didn't want the assets to go to the former spouse, they more likely wanted the assets to go to their family," says Ruttenberg, of the SmolenPlevy law firm in Fairfax County.
Ruttenberg says his client's tale should serve as a reminder to others.
"People are not updating their estate documents, and they really need to pay attention to it," Ruttenberg says.
This will be Ruttenberg's first argument before the high court. He says it's understandable why people are slow to change the important assignments of death benefits.
"People go through a divorce, they're exhausted. They're beat up. They're worn out. And they don't necessarily dot all the 'i's because they don't have to, right then and there. But then it gets forgotten."
Jacqueline Hillman had sued to obtain the $125,000 payout, as Virginia law allows.
Eventually, the Virginia Supreme Court said federal law saw the ex-wife as the beneficiary, trumping state law.
In January 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.

ROTTERDAM, N.Y. -- No text is worth dying for. That's the powerful message AT&T delivered to Schalmont students before the holiday weekend. It's part of a national program called "It can wait." So far, more than a million AT&T customers made the pledge not to text and drive. Schalmont High school officials hope their students join the campaign as well.
Student Joe Caldera said, "Young drivers, not very experienced, some of them have problems driving as it is without being distracted, and adding distractions, it scares me a little bit."
Student Joe Neri said, "Texting and driving isn't worth it, really, that's about it.
According to the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, drivers who text while they drive are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash.

Wrong forum, please read: http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f56/4...e-posting.html
So I'm a prot paladin my old spec was The World of Warcraft Armory
but I change to the one I'm currently using ... my problem is I'm losing agro even with 2k- dps ... T_T , my usual rotation is: most of the time I use Seal of Vengeance and then (Avenger's Shield to pull, Holy Shield, Consecration, Judgment, Shield of Righteousness, Hammer of the Righteous )or something like that.
Is there something i should change spec or rotation.
Perhaps... <.< should I start getting more hit... I don't know plz help...
Wrong forum, please read: http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f56/4...e-posting.html
Got a question? Try here: Evil Empire Guides and here: Tankspot Guides and Articles Library first!
Sorry xD
Just to get this out of the way, you have righteous fury on right? Just throwing that out there since you'd be surprised how many pallys I've seen who don't have that on and wonder wtf is happening.
5/5 Reckoning should be 5/5 Divine Strength. Strength gives us spell power shield block value and ups our swing damage Reckoning is a crap shoot chance it will help you. Dont lead with holy shield dps attack as soon as they see you pull you should open with consecrate on the mob hammer of righteous and then if you feel you have a good enough threat lead holy shield.
By your armory it looks like you also just dinged 80 take it also with a grain of salt that you are more than likely outgeared by your dps.
tnx All and yes i had righteous fury on xD but ill change that spec and see how it works
You're also missing 1 point in imporoved judgements to make the 969 rotation work out. The fact that you are missing this required point probably means you don't know how the 969 prot paladin rotation works. I'd suggest searching for that as it will help your threat gen a ton.
My first reaction is that you don't use the 969 rotation. To quickly summarize it, the idea is that you cast some abilities every 6 seconds and some every 9 seconds.
Like Akeber says you will need a specc with 1 point in Improved Judgement.
The 9 second abilities are Holy Shield (HS, 8 sec cooldown, but 10 sec duration), Judgement (Reduced to 9 seconds in the retri tree) and Consecration (8 seconds cooldown, but we treat it as 9 seconds).
The 6 second abilities are Hammer of the Righteous (HotR) and Shield of Righteousness (SoR).
You want to alternate 9 second cooldowns with 6 second cooldowns, which is why the system is commonly referred to as 969, this will allow you to use all these 5 abilities as soon as they are off cooldown, it is the most efficient way to generate threat for paladins.
As you run in, get HS up, then hit the mobs with HotR, Consecration, SoR, Judgement, HotR again, HS again, SoR, Consecration etc.
The rotation is not set in stone, if you are tanking single mobs instead of groups you may want to use SoR before HotR and Judgement before Consecrate, but the idea is to always alternate 9 second cooldowns and 6 second cooldowns.

1. It's not needed and it definetely clears up alot of talent points.. 6 to be exact.
2. No it's not worth it. 5 points that can be used elsewhere.
3. I see Acclimation as more of a gimicky talent, bottom line is there are better places to spend your points. I personally had it in my first tanking build and while I took alot less damage on Sapphiron is was of little use outside of that setting lol.
4. Frost Aura is crap crap crap. It doesn't stack with MotW, pally auras or shammy totems. A waste of two points.
5. HC is a PvP talent.
I would suggest this build, it also has a slightly higher emphasis on AoE tanking with the addition of Corpse Explosion.
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Morbidity isn't required since you'll be AoE tanking with HB. HB will be your main attack. For AoE tanking it's actually a very simple rotation. IT-PS-Pestilence-HB, after that I just HB whenever it's off CD and use my Blood Runes for Pestilence. Corpse Explosion when something dies, it's fun I promise.
