PART 3Back to tonight. The set is re-arranged (of course) some new old stuff if you know what I mean, (The Thing That Should Not Be I forgot to how heavy that song was, I think we need to play that one on the tour, that a yes!-JH) and while I preferred the whole roaring fuck-em-all motordeath of last night headbasher, tonight is a great example of how this band will be prepared, without any notice, to switch up their sets this Summer, to break the formula and go with whatever flow seems right. Over 40 songs to try out and fit? Nah, over 40 songs and see what you get! The way it should be. Frantic is fantastic (searching for donuts!) a crusher, a killer, an unsubtle sledgehammer. Ahhh how GOOD it feels to need to use those kranium krunching kliches again for these boys (ticktickticktock) and James is on fire with this. Cliff Em All baby, hell yes hes alive in all our hearts, he says right after the song ends, and this is something which he never used to really acknowledge even though it hurt him, never really used to express, even though he felt it. Not anymore. Now he can say it and we can say it too and we can all know it and Cliff can smile and give a thumbs up, that hook finger waving too. This a Jason vein-popper, a true measure of the mans metal. But is it worse post-Jason? Naaaaaaaaaaaaa, dont be silly, in fact its more fluid Whiplash, a song so dusty that even the dust mites were full and had vacated that vault, is now back to being raw, abrasive, corrosive, and bloody. This is the sort of thing people have waited for for too long, the shedding of inhibitions, the desire to play these old classics again (n.b. must ask them if they were embarrassed to play this before.) Leper Messiah, another old classic and the fun simply has stopped emanating from the stage. Thats what were seeing, thats what were witnessing. A friend pointed out that James doesnt stay in the center, that he moves all over, that they all swap off, that there is no frontman per see, that its all about everyone. That comes with being happy. Really. And I cannot help and reflect on how long that perhaps they werent as happy as we all thought, as even they might have thought.

PART 4And how much do we LOVE hearing 'Hit The Lights' again? Hearing world famous rock stars SCREAMING 'no life 'til leather' baby YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH, and a screeching Hammett solo, and a rudely healthy Ulrich pounding 25 shades of shit out of that green monster? I'll tell you how much. A lot a lot a lot a lot a lot!And y'know what else? I kinda like watching Lars grow (back) into a cocky little bastard again up there, grimacing and gesturing before 'Breadfan'. Somehow it seems right that he should enjoy that, enjoy being the rock star he is, always wanted to be and for a few months back there towards the end of 2001 thought he might never be again. Is this vindication for a man who got hammered by the world because he spoke up against stealing? Yes. And guess what? I don't care what he, or anybody else says, deep down inside he's enjoying, no reveling in the thought that he will get the chance to shove it to everyone. Again, I believe that Rob is making him work harder than ever, and I further believe that he loves being worked to fulfill potential, to be as good as he can be. And then to finish with a particularly brutal 'Battery'? Who dared say they're too fucking old for that fast, heavy shit? Not me brother...last words of this night to Hetfield"Thank you so much friends, you all kick ass! We'll see ya around , thank you very much man, take care of yourselves, this is very special, Metallica loves ya, see ya…"Or is to Kirk..."Hey, thank you man, you ru...(the rest drowned out by crowd!)Naaa, must be to Rob..."Hey listen, just wanna say thanks a lot for welcoming me into The Fillmore, into your family and into Metallica…thank you…" (the rest drowned out by yelling).Who the hell am I kidding? It can only belong to one man..."I know a lot of u guys have traveled a long way, thank you, your support and loyalty kept us going, we really appreciate it, thank y....(the rest, again, drowned out by yelling)."Steffan ChiraziSo What!

The boys wrapped up tonight's Fillmore show a few hours ago and, as expected, tore the roof clear off the place. The band continued to throw out a few more surprises in the set. The energy in the venue, both from the band and the crowd, was mind blowing. Setlist has been posted. More details and pix to follow soon.

One down, three to go. Our buddy Steffan Chirazi wrote a pretty good sum up of yesterday's gig. Head over to Metallica.com for all the details. Yesterday's support act was CKY, and James explained how the different support acts were picked.
- "Each band member got to pick the support act for one night. How fucking awesome is that? CKY was my choice, I am really into their music. They rock!"
 Tonight's support act is Systematic, who did you think picked them? On my way to Fillmore in a few hours...Stay tuned

It is close to 3pm on Sunday May 18th and tonight the guys are inviting their friends in The Metallica Club to join them for a small intimate party at the legendary Fillmore. They have been rehearsing for the past few days, check out the pictures. Based on what I have heard during the rehearsals, we are all in for a real treat.

Kurobuta Boneless Ham
- Summary
Kurobuta, or "black hog," is the Japanese term for the Berkshire breed, the source of the famous Japanese kurobuta pork from the Kagoshima Prefecture. Like its Japanese counterpart, Snake River kurobuta is deep in color and streaked with fine marbling that makes this ham exceptionally sweet, juicy and tender. Its rich flavor is complemented perfectly by expert curing according to an old family recipe and light smoking over hardwood chips.
- Whole ham: Approx. 6 lb. (serves 12–16).
- Half ham: Approx. 4 lb. (serves 8–10).
- Fully cooked.
- Shipped frozen.
- Made in the USA.
- Use & Care
Receiving Instructions
- The ham was shipped frozen with dry ice, which may have evaporated during shipment. This is normal. Please take care not to touch any remaining dry ice with bare hands. Upon receipt refrigerate the ham, or freeze to enjoy at a later date. It will keep refrigerated up to 3 weeks, or frozen up to 3 months, unopened. For best quality, once thawed, we do not recommend refreezing the ham.
Proper Thawing Technique:
- Remove the meat from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. To retain more of the natural juices, leave the meat in its original packaging while thawing. It is normal for natural juices to accumulate.
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 325°F.
- Remove the ham from the packaging and place the ham in a large roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is centered in the thickest part of the ham. Do not add water to the pan or cover the ham.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the thermometer registers 140°F. If the surface becomes too dark while cooking, tent the ham loosely with aluminum foil.
- Transfer the ham to a carving board and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
- Shipping

PIKEVILLE, Ky. — The Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce held its 55th Annual Awards Banquet at the East Kentucky Expo, with area business receiving recognition for their contributions to the community of Eastern Kentucky.
Jared Arnet, President and CEO of of the Chamber, said the Chamber has added 127 new members in the past year, and laid groundwork for more growth.
"Our regional concept has found widespread support," Arnet said. "Regionalism is the trend in economic development throughout the country. We believe the economic future of Eastern Kentucky rests on our ability to unite as a region and become strategic in our planning."
The keynote speaker for the banquet was Bill Graham, President of Graham Corporate Communications. Graham spent 15 years as a theater director and producer, served as Director of Creative Affairs for Proctor and Gamble, creating teams that produced Emmy Award winning soap operas.
He is an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University, teaching classes in Communication Ethics, Public Relations and Effective Presentations. He teaches Sports Management at George Mason University, and is a regular guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, and is a member of the US Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Organization Management.
The awards given by the Chamber at the Banquet were:

This is a new award given at the discretion of the KCCE board to recognize an individual or company who has gone above and beyond to promote the organization as well as local chambers across the state. Jean Hale has been instrumental in the development of the Local Chamber Advisory Board, which incorporated nine chamber executives from across the state onto the Kentucky Chamber board of directors. She has also been instrumental in helping KCCE become what it is today by stepping up as a Corporate Partner (and maintaining that partnership for seven years) so that we could hire a full time executive director.

Hello all
Now I Normaly don't chime up and I love giving new games and debs a chance but is it just me or is this becoming common place where we are getting charged to try betas out as though we should pay money to test developers games.?
Though of late I have actualy found one game I.e firefall that is very enjoyable , I was still able to play it before throwing my hard earned dollars down . I think more and more games are saying come here and pay to be testers for our games. This is actualy pointed to neverwinter but a lot are taking this stature.
So my question is isn't it a little to ask a player to throw down 59$ to be a beta tester for a game that in the end you as des should be I tiding us to play.
I know gaming is a business but I think charging for half finished games that no one has access to is a little unfair thoughts?

Keep in mind that beta testing not only give people a sense of the game but also gives important advantages to the very competitive players, who will know a lot about the game by the time of actual launch.
For instance, on beta testing it would be possible to read the quest without rushing, that can be reserved by the time of launch in which the race for max level is always fierce.

You're not paying to test the game for them. You're paying to get early access and play the game long before it launches. All the people who act like they're doing the devs a favor are full of it.
Before this post goes sideways id like to show what i meant.
At the end of the day a beta is exactly that a beta . I have no problem paying for full releases even ones with Subs , What the post is stating is that paying for a game you ahve never tried never even logged into should charge you $ for beta access witch manny of these Founders packs do .
NOW i have no issue at all paying for a founders pack after i ahve tested or played the game in question if i like it.
The thing that i object to is games that come out and say look at me come buy me even though you have no idea who or what i am or what i offer.
Doesnt that annoy others aswell?
Both firefall and rift people were able to play the games before the founders pack was introduced witch i have no issue with .
And at the end of the day the Consumer is the one with the power if you dont agree with this just look at how manny mmo's fail , Ratio is arround 1000 games made 1 succeeds.

This is indeed a hot new trend, and not one that I expect to go away. I think it is in fact an improvement over the old: Sell the game as P2P, and then convert to F2P after launch. It is at least more honest.
Thank you to those few that responded with their opinions . It sadens me though those who were more interested in posting hostile responses to what I thought was a sharing of opinions .moderators please close this thread.
Let's see: I can pay 10 bucks and play now, or I can hang around fansites for days hoping to snag a beta key. Hmmmm. If it's a game I'm very interested in, I'll usually pay. If it's a game I'm only casually following, I'll try to snag a key. In either case, I'm usually not regretting the decision. The biggest complaints I've seen on various forums happens when a game is delayed then a segment of the community freaks out and demands refunds and creates threads about it.

That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
Like all F2P models, you have the freedom to buy what you want, when you want, and how you want from the game's shop or however their matrix is laid out.
In the case of early access. it's not forced upon you. You can buy it or not buy it, but It's a proven viable and method of garnering income... brought to you by ANet and GW2's beta release.... now an expected part of a game's release.
Roll with the changes, friend.

Nobody's forcing anyone to pay money to get preferential treatment for getting into a beta. You can register your interest and hope for an invite the same as it's always been usually.
However, IMHO people paying for a pre-order in order to get guaranteed beta access are likely to take the actual testing much more seriously than someone who applies for every beta test going just because they get to play a game for free. That in itself must be a very attractive proposition for a games maker. I've paid for pre-orders for quite a few games now knowing that as well as a head start, I'll get guaranteed beta access. I'm quite happy with that deal as I would have bought the game eventually anyway, but it's got me in quicker. I can't think of anytime I've done it and regretted it yet.

Nothing wrong with selling if someone's buying, right? You don't have to buy a beta access, you know. So its fair.

This is just ridiculous. Let me ask you this? Do you own a PS3 or an Xbox? Do you own any other gaming systems? I do, and guess what? I never get to "test" a game before I buy it. I buy it and if I don't like it, I have to decide what to do with it. When you go to buy a grill, do you get to take it home and test it first to make sure you like it? Or do you just buy it? I have never walked into a store and said, "I'd like to purchase this object... however, I have no idea what it is or what it offers, so I'd like to take it home and play with it to decide if I like it".... why should games be any different?
If you have no idea what the game is or what it offers, why would you buy it or even want to participate in the beta? As a "consumer" it's your job to research a product before you buy it. With games, you have absolutely no excuse for not doing the research. It's out there. Reviews, previews, youtube forum sites, etc. It's the same with any product you buy. Do the research and decide if you want it.
I hope more companies move to this strategy. At the present, the majority of people treat betas like free previews of the game and have absolutely no intrest in actually helping. They just want to play a game for free. So... do the research on the game, if you decide you want to help the developer, buy the game and get in there an get your hands dirty to help them make it better. I mean, if you really believe in the game they're making and you've done the research, what's the issue? You were gonna buy it anyway. Except now, for your support, you get to participate in the beta and help them improve the experience.
Also... please describe how you came up with this "ratio" of 1000 to 1 for games that "fail". I'm dying to see the math there...

Yes, it is stupid to charge someone for a beta, but you don't have to buy it. GW2 and several other recent releases have given companies shit ideas, but just remember, You don't have to buy it!

If the game is fun, I'm willing to pay something for it. Beta or not.
Now, if there is going to be a beta wipe, I'm probably not as willing to throw money at it. Just being honest, but I hate seeing character progression thrown out the window. I usually won't play much in beta if that is going to happen (low time investment) - hence, I'm not terribly willing to spend any cash investment either.
As far as the model goes - I don't know. Firefall is at the point where there will be no ~huge~ changes in mechanics, it's mostly just adding content and squishing bugs, so I can understand the no beta wipe, and am perfectly fine having paid for it. There are a lot of people on all the time (even without open beta weekends), so it feels "released". I consider it "released" and B2P with free trial weekends, similar to the ArenaNet model - because that's really what it is if you think about it. Some people are lucky enough to have straight beta invites, and can get in without the Founders package, and I'm fine with that too - the Founders packs give enough cash shop cash that you can use to unlock garage slots (to keep access to different classes) to make it convenient enough to make it worth while for me, and people with free access are either limited to 2 frames at a time, or are going to pay for cash shop access themselves, so it isn't a big deal.
However, there are a lot of variables there, and if many/any of them were different, I don't know that I would feel the same way about it.
If there were a heavier leaning on the cash shop (or if it were P2W), I'd be turned off.

I'm still a game tester and haven't bought access to those tests. If a studio wants testers and I apply and get in then great. If I don't and they want to sell access then that's their choice too.

Let em put a slave ring thru u're nose u're prob not going to like where they're taking you. Think.
I have never been charged for a beta and I wouldn't care if games did. Free to play was a bad choice in vernacular. It should have been called Share to play. Nothing is truly free.

Could this be the week the mighty Gators are finally taken down?
On Friday Summerville hosts Goose Creek, a team that has triumphed the last 28 times it has taken the field.
The Gators had to forfeit most of their 2012 season due to dressing out and playing an ineligible player, but that doesn't change the fact that they dominated on the gridiron the past two years. What has changed is that some, yet not all, of the players who made Goose Creek such a force in the past have moved on.
Receiver/running back Tramel Terry, who was arguably the Gators' top offensive weapon last season, is gone. The three starters who anchored Goose Creek's powerful defensive line have also moved on.
Without them, the Gators did not look as sharp in their 2013 season opener. But Goose Creek did still win by a comfortable 56-28 margin over Ashley Ridge.
Last week, Georgia Tech bound running back Caleb Kinlaw rushed for 478 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Gators to a 77-30 win over Colleton County. Kinlaw now has eight TDs and nearly 600 rushing yards just two game into the season.
The Gators also have a returning starter at quarterback and he has been efficient and productive early this season.
Defensively, the Gators only return one starter up front. However, the team has considerable experience at its other defensive positions. Among the returners with experience are four linebackers, including the Gators' 2012 tackles leader, and cornerback Omar McRae, who had 11 interceptions last fall.
"We will have to play error free in order to win," Summerville coach John McKissick said. "Right now they are just wearing everyone out. Their skllls players are all good and they may have the best running back in the state. Last year Terry really hurt us, but Kinlaw is trouble so we will have to manage him. We will have to play better defense this week than we did last week or they will eat us up."
Summerville is hoping this will be the year it turns things around with the Gators. After all, not that long ago it was the Green Wave that typically carried the momentum into the game.
Summerville has gained experience at several offensive positions since the teams met last fall and Goose Creek earned a 49-14 win. In the Green Wave's first two games of 2013 that experience has shown.
Like the Gators, Summerville enters this week's contest with a 2-0 record. Summerville cruised to a win over Cane Bay in Week 1 and used big plays to beat Berkeley last week.
Sophomore quarterback Sawyer Bridges has completed 26 passes this season. He threw for more than 170 yards against both the Cobras and Stags. The Wave also rushed for more than 170 yards in both games.
The Wave defense has several of its top play makers back from last season including its leading tackler, Mac McCurry, and top coverage guy, Darin Smalls. Summerville only gave up two touchdowns in its first two games.
Summerville held the Cobras to just more than 100 yards of offense. The Wave wasn't as tough against Berkeley, but only allowed the Stags to reach the end zone twice and limited the team to 87 passing yards.
Summerville holds a 37-8 (forfeits not included) advantage in the series, but Goose Creek has now won three straight. A 28-17 win in 2009 marks the last time the Wave defeated the Gators.
The series has featured some real fan pleasers as of late. In 2010 Summerville took the Gators into triple overtime before falling 64-57. In 2011, Summerville hosted a defensive battle that it eventually lost 19-7.
Goose Creek enters the game as the third-ranked Class AAAA team in the state coaches poll. Summerville received votes, but has not cracked the Top 10.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Summerville's Memorial Stadium.

First U.S. Image of the Moon
Date: 31 Jul 1964
Ranger 7 took this image, the first picture of the moon by a U.S. spacecraft, about 17 minutes before impacting the lunar surface. The large crater at center right is the 108 km diameter Alphonsus. Above it is Ptolemaeus and below it Arzachel. Mare Nubium is at center and left. The Ranger 7 impact site is off the frame, to the left of the upper left corner.
Ranger spacecraft were designed solely to take high-quality pictures of the moon for scientific study and to scout landing sites for Apollo astronauts. Ranger 7 was the first true success in the series and represents a turning point in the American space program. It transmitted 4,308 high-quality images in its final 17 minutes of flight.
Ranger 7 was launched 28 July 1964 and arrived at the moon on 31 July 1964.

Civitas News Service
WILLIAMSON – Mingo County Prosecutor Michael Sparks probably feels like he has been swimming in quicksand as of late with the recent indictment of Circuit Judge Mike Thornsbury.
Sparks, who has been the lead prosecuting attorney for eight years, has been under fire the last few days from both sides of the fence.
Sparks' name was mentioned in the 18-page indictment released by the U.S. Attorney's office in Charleston.
"I have supported the federal investigation and will continue to do so, however, because I'm a witness, I would refer any questions to the U.S. Attorney's office," Sparks said of the case and allegations against Thornsbury.
When asked about whether he knew that it was illegal for Mingo County Homeland Security Director Jarrod Fletcher to serve as foreperson of the grand jury, Sparks replied, "That is the position of the federal prosecution. The Judge impanels the grand jury. Our office has nothing to do with the impaneling process. Our first contact with the grand jury is when we walk in and present our first case."
Fletcher had been appointed to the position by his friend and business partner Judge Thornsbury.
"I was unaware – as were most people – as to the financial relationship until the summer of 2009," Sparks said. "He did not participate in the September term of the grand jury."
"This is a small county. You will run into someone that you know that may know someone who may be involved in cases," Sparks added. "The formalities of a grand jury are not quite as stringent as those of a petit jury."
Sparks said that an indictment requires 12 votes. The grand jury process has 16 members. "Even if there is one person disqualified, as long as you have 12 votes – an indictment would not be reversed for one disqualification," said Sparks. "Of course, if there is any credible evidence brought forward that there was any fraud or misconduct – in any case – we will review the case and do what is appropriate."
"The important thing here is that I don't believe any of those cases were tried," Sparks said. "In most of those cases in the January and April terms of 2009 resulted in guilty pleas."
Each of those cases either had audio and/or video surveillance as well as a confession by the defendant to the police officer before indictment or they entered a guilty plea agreement. "I don't anticipate any of those convictions will be vacated," Sparks stressed.
Sparks said he could not comment on the Woodruff case, the couple that is mentioned in the indictment against Judge Thornsbury. The indictment named several people who were allegedly involved with a conspiracy to plant drugs on Robert Woodruff, the husband of the former secretary of Thornsbury.
As for adding a second circuit judge for Mingo County, Sparks said he would support it. "Mingo County is the only single judge - single county circuit in the state of West Virginia." In comparison, neighboring Logan, Wayne and McDowell county have two circuit judges. McDowell County has a smaller population than that of Mingo County.
"Considering that our surrounding counties have two judges, I would support a second judgeship," said Sparks. "I would support any efforts from Senator (Truman) Chafin, Senator (Art) Kirkendoll, Delegate (H. K.) White and Delegate (Justin) Marcum to obtain a second judge for this county."
"All Mingo County officials and Mingo County courthouse employees should not be placed in the same lump of clay," Sparks added. "There are honest and hard-working people with the spirit to serve to our citizens."

YouTube has always been a social network, but the interactions between users are limited. Last year, YouTube started to broadcast activity streams and you could see on the homepage the latest videos uploaded by your friends, their latest comments and ratings.
To make the activity streams more useful, YouTube decided to expand the actions that are shared and to show them in a persistent toolbar at the bottom of the page. The feature, dubbed RealTime YouTube, requires an invitation from a friend who already has it.
The RealTime toolbar shows a list of friends that are currently online, their recent activities and notifies when one of your friends posts comments or rates videos. For example, you can now see all the videos currently watched by your friends.
The toolbar lacks some features that would make it really useful: chatting with your friends and watching videos at the same time. You can disable the real-time sharing and it's also possible to hide the toolbar from YouTube's settings.
If you already have the RealTime toolbar, you can send invitations to 25 of your friends. A simple way to both invite YouTube users to become your friends and to send an invitation for the toolbar is to use the YouTube Peeps link, which is only active for 15 minutes. To get an invitation, monitor the search results for youtube.com/peep on Twitter and click on a recent invite link.
Real-time interfaces become increasingly popular as people no longer want to wait for updates: Twitter's real-time search, FriendFeed's new interface and YouTube RealTime show what's happening right now.
"An overwhelming sense of restlessness and impatience engulfed the U.S. this week when citizens determined that everything — the morning commute, phone conversations, getting a table at Chili's, making coffee, commercial breaks, everything — was taking entirely too long," reported The Onion last month. "According to the latest time estimates, if everything continues to move along at this intolerable pace, Americans will be left with no other choice but to scream."

- Japan's silver market: creating a new industry under uncertainty (2011)
- It has often been asked whether today´s Japan will be able to move into new and promising industries, or whether it is locked into an innovation system with an inherent inability to give birth to new industries. One argument reasons that the thick institutional complementarities among labour, innovation, and finance among its enterprises and the public sector favour industrial development in sectors of intermediate uncertainty, while it is difficult to move into areas of major uncertainty. In this paper, we present the case of the silver industry or, somewhat more prosaically, the 60+ or even 50+ industry, for which most would agree that Japan has indeed become a lead market and lead producer on the global market. For an institutional economist, the case of the silver industry is particularly interesting, because Japan´s success is based on the cooperation of existing actors, the enterprise and public sector in particular, which helped overcome the information uncertainties and asymmetries involved in the new market by relying on several established mechanisms developed well before. In that sense, Japan´s silver industry presents a case of of what we propose to call successful institutional path activation with the effect of an innovative market creation, instead of the problematic lockin effects that are usually associated with the term path dependence.

Man sentenced for 'vicious attack'By Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 31,2013BENNINGTON — A Gage Street man was sentenced to a two to four years in prison on Monday after pleading guilty to what a prosecutor called a "vicious attack" on a woman in Pownal in July.
Kyle J. Ware, 20, of Bennington, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court on Monday to a felony charge of second-degree unlawful restraint, but his sentence on that charge was deferred for five years, which means that if he has no further legal trouble in that time period, the charge will not remain on his record.
Ware also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of domestic assault, interference with access to emergency services, being a minor in possession of alcohol and two misdemeanor counts of unlawful mischief. The overall sentence for Ware, who has been in jail since July, is two to four years but he was pre-approved for furlough.
A felony charge of kidnapping was dismissed by the state on Monday.
The charges were filed based on the complaint of a woman who said she had been at a party with Ware in Pownal.
She said the two had begun arguing and he kept her from leaving the home and assaulted her.
When she was able to get out of the home, Ware followed her outside and punched her car's windshield, causing it to break.
During the sentencing hearing on Monday, Ware declined to say anything to the judge before being sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones.
Acknowledging Ware's attorney's description of his client as a dean's list college student and model prisoner, Corsones still cautioned Ware to take the conditions of his probation seriously.
"If you're the kind of person that everybody says you are, everybody believes you are, that's not going to happen.
You're going to do well and hopefully get back in college and be able maybe at some point to put this behind you and once again be a productive citizen," he said.
Jennifer Barrett, a deputy state's attorney for Bennington County, said the woman was not in court on Monday but Barrett said she was "in support of this (plea) agreement for the most part."

Wind: 0 mph
After having read the article on the foraging failures of the black bear, I was left with the feeling that humans are falling short of their potential to be compassionate toward other beings in need. The next day I received an e-mail from the National Wildlife Federation stating, "Black bears across the country are desperate for food. Facing berry shortages as climate change fuels extreme droughts, more and more bears are searching for food in dumpsters, cars and homes. The consequences are often deadly for the bears." This is surely the case here in the Mad River Valley.
In speaking with others I learned that bears are thought to be overpopulated in Vermont, the number of bears to be killed during this year's hunting season will be increased, and it has been predicted that there will be massive die-offs of bear this winter as a result of food shortages. I am left confused about what is true, what is really happening for bears and how we might help them survive as we would help our human neighbors. I believe there are reasonable ways in which we can help the bears and other animals, that humans possess the compassion to care about the suffering of other species and, given a chance, will try to help them survive through this challenging time.
When Tropical Storm Irene rolled through Vermont, we joined together as a strong community, helping those most impacted to face the unthinkable and reinvent their lives. There are many ways in which we support each other in order to keep our communities and families strong. I see the bears as our neighbors, too. They live in the areas least visited by humans as they long for wilderness and the ability to live independent, private lives. It is only when their needs grow stronger than their fear that they dare "trespass" onto our cropland and take what they do not know is someone else's food.
According to the North American Bear Center, "Wild fruit, nuts and acorns are the most important foods for black bears in summer and fall. If those crops fail, cubs starve, females abort their fetuses and some bears follow their noses to human foods." Is it reasonable to think that as a community we might reimburse our farmers for the corn they lose to starving bears? Just as Vermonters support each other in times of need, those who care about the hardships of bears and farmers can share the cost of their survival by giving a small contribution to compensate our farmers for their lost corn. In this way, we share the financial burden with the farmer, the habitat needs of the bear and the benefits of living harmoniously with our wild neighbors. In other words, we all win. Then, if the Department of Fish and Wildlife finds it necessary to increase the bear kill quotas, the bears can be taken during hunting season using accurate state management practices and not starve or be shot as a pest.
Each time we have conflict with an animal, I see it as an opportunity to learn more about that animal and discover solutions for living in harmony with them. As in most relationships, this requires creative thinking, understanding and potential compromises. It may not be easy, but, as the saying goes, "Nothing worthwhile ever is." Most of us live in Vermont because we love the rural lifestyle and the nature that surrounds us. If we are to hold the opportunity to live close to the earth for future generations, then we must be good stewards of our natural resources… animal, vegetable, mineral, water, air and the whole biota. Humans dominate most of the earth and have taken most wilderness areas for our own uses. Habitat destruction is the main cause of species extinction. During times of hardship animals may need to expand their range in order to find food, water, shelter and potential mates. Bears eating this much corn is a sign of their being in dire need. The human challenge is to learn to live in harmony with nature and stop devouring it. We can share the earth with other species and I believe this is for our best good. I am grateful to live in a place so rich with a diversity of life. I experience great joy from the peepers in the spring, the moose tracks by our pond, coyotes calling in the mountains above, the return of the songbirds in the spring and so many more amazing glimpses of creatures that share this land with me.
Conflict with wildlife is sure to occur as the human population continues to grow and move deeper into the remaining wild places. Climate change will challenge all beings. I feel it will be a more beautiful world if we use our intelligence to find harmonious solutions to these conflicts so that biodiversity remains a possibility. We can share the world and help all species challenged by the earth changes. If humans have the ability to bring the world to such pivotal times environmentally, then we surely have the ability to find the solutions to heal her as well. I ask that we take a moment to breathe, open to our potential and find new solutions for all life involved. There is much that can be lost and much to be gained. Please join me in the effort to promote compassion for all species and the earth herself. We can only benefit from such an effort. Indeed our survival depends upon it. And, if you are wondering, yes, I brake for animals!

What is the GOP to do with social conservatives?
Woe is me. What is the Republican Party to do about social conservatives?
We saw how sanctimoniously Rick Santorum was ripped during the early presidential primary debates. Subtly of course -- no one wants to offend Jesus or his spokesmen -- but social conservatism, though attractive to many, was how liberals pointed out that Republicans were trying to put a large population under one umbrella of thinking.
The Democrats prayed for a Santorum victory. He would have been the destruction of the GOP because he would have made the party fit neatly into a "Christians only" box. Christians have always been viewed with contempt, even by the Libertarian and more liberal wings of the Republican Party.
Just how negatively have the Christian social conservatives effected the party? Probably dramatically. Many refused to vote for a Mormon, because "they aren't real Christians." The social conservatives just stayed home or voted for the Libertarian candidate.
Many in the party blame the Evangelicals for the loss to Obama. What about some other examples that left the liberals cheering wildly, laughing and tap dancing to the polls? Enter here candidates Dumb and Dumber: Todd Akin and Rick Murdock, Senate candidates who not only destroyed their own chances of ever seeing a seat in the Senate, but gave those who championed women's issues an opportunity to paint the entire party with an anti-woman brush. The GOP would not recover from that paint job.
What's worse is Republicans had a tough time refuting stupid comments such as: "Women can turn off their bodies during a rape so that they can not become pregnant." Please show me that fact in a doctoral dissertation. And then we had Murdock, with his "the babies of rape should never be aborted" comments.
Candidates Dumb and Dumber were vilified by the liberals and many Republicans, but here you have another of the dichotomies Republicans had to face: there is a huge anti-abortion wing of the party that didn't necessarily agree with candidates Dumb and Dumber and their comments, but did agree with their anti-abortion stance.
Here we also have a complicit media who will ask conservative candidates the exact date God created Earth, as they tried to do with Marco Rubio.
So the question is, in an America of changing demographics, what should the Republican Party do about the base, the social conservative and the Evangelical? To even discuss purging them from the party destroys the GOP. To make their issues the forefront of party politics, as some suggest, would be a huge error and again, would destroy the party.
So who do we leave out? What controls should be placed on the social conservative wing of the Republican Party? What segment of a diverse populations will not fit under that big umbrella?
Somebody had better figure it out, because congressional elections are just two years away.

I have never owned another spoke wrench, so I only know so much about these things.

School Board analyzes post-retirement program
A program that pays retired Henrico school system employees a percentage of their final annual salaries in exchange for their part-time work within the system saves considerable money on substitute teacher expenses but could provide even more value to the system with several adjustments.
That was the conclusion of an in-depth analysis completed by county and school system finance officials, who presented their findings to the School Board Sept. 13.
At the beginning of the current fiscal year in July, the board increased the requirements of retirees who participate in the Post-Retirement Earnings Plan (PREP) program, mandating that they work at least 28 days during the school year in order to receive pay equal to 20 percent of their final annual paychecks. Eligible retirees may participate in the program for a maximum of seven years; 388 participate currently.
It was the third change made in the past three years by the board, which is seeking to squeeze more value from the 32-year-old program while reducing its annual cost. The PREP budget has dropped from its peak of $8.9 million in 2009 to $5.6 million during the current fiscal year. Prior to this year's change, PREP participants received 22 percent of their final paycheck in exchange for working 24 days a year.
The program was created in 1980 as a way to provide a benefit to employees, encourage early retirement and save the school system money. During its budget process this spring, the School Board sought specific data to better determine the effectiveness and value of the program. But last week's work session was proof that categorizing that value is a challenging exercise.
Though it's relatively easy to determine the cost savings that results from using PREP retirees as substitute teachers – since there is a standard rate of pay for substitutes – it's much more difficult to determine the value of administrative retirees who perform a variety of other responsibilities, Henrico Finance Director Gene Walter told the School Board.
Walter and his staff studied 507 PREP participants who entered the program during the past seven years and whose replacements were hired immediately upon their retirement. (The study didn't include nearly 50 other participants whose former positions were eliminated, he said.)
Of those 507, 317 were retired teachers whose combined participation during those seven years saved the system $1.18 for each $1 it spent on the program, Walter said.
But Walter and his analysts could not determine a dollar-to-dollar estimate for the other 190 participants because their roles within the system were less defined and often entailed duties for which the system wouldn't have hired temporary help.
School system officials recommended that the board consider a number of changes to the program that would make it easier to determine a clear value for each dollar spent in the program, including:
• assigning every participant to serve either as a substitute teacher (if qualified) or to fill another capacity with specific and direct calculable benefit to the system (such as SOL remediation);
• capping the maximum allowable salary to a participant at $90,000 annually;
• increasing the number of required years of Henrico service from 10 years to 15 years for eligible retirees and reducing the number of required years of service in the Virginia Retirement System from 16 to 15;
• requiring that interested participants notify the system of their intent by Dec. 1 annually and begin their participation the following July 1 (as opposed to the current system, which permits entry throughout the year – a minimum of 30 days after retirement – and makes budgeting for the program less predictable);
• grandfathering all current participants under the current standards until they have completed their seven years or dropped out of the program.
"We have determined that there's a large responsibility on everyone's part here to develop something that's going to be very beneficial and cost-effective and also value-added to the school system," Superintendent Pat Russo said during the work session. "That's where we want to move this program."
Current guidelines require that participants be at least 50 years old without having attained the age for full, unreduced Social Security benefits. The program initially was designed in part to serve as a bridge between retirement and Social Security, HCPS Finance Director Kevin Smith told the board. Using current standards, 854 current school system employees would be eligible to participate in the PREP program if they retired, HCPS Human Resources Executive Director Howard Banks said.
The board is expected to discuss the recommendations and the PREP program again at a meeting next month.

Awesome Food...Amazing Place....Paschim Terrace Added Charm To My Party!
Amazing place done up in vibrant green palette with a fish tank, and soothing old numbers. Great food and pleasant staff. I have been a regular at this place since 2 years, but since they changed their name from Dugout to Paschim Terrace, i haven't been here. Their menu has been revamped, but awesome in all aspects. The staff is very friendly and customizes things as per your need. They describe the menu in detail in case you want to know the ingredients and they also suggest items that suit the kids. For us, it is a priceless experience when they take care of the kids so that you can enjoy your food. We liked the place so much that we actually planned our daughter's first birthday here and what we got to listen from our guests was "Awesome food, amazing place..why did we not know of it before!" The food turned out be fully authentic and the PT team delivered what they promised. Actually more than that as they served some items that were not on the menu and didn't charge us for it even though they were not listed in menu discussed for the event. Special thanks to their manager Raman, who was very supportive when getting the decor done and being there for the party the whole while to take care of issues faced. Cheers to Paschim Terrace...We are going to keep visiting the place over and over again.

Perfect Place to Watch The Screening of The Football Match
I normally head to dugout to watch the screening of my favorite football games. I am a Liverpool football club supporter and this place is the perfect place to watch all the games, its also the home of the Liverpool Bangalore Supporters Club. While the games are not relayed the music played by the DJ is very peppy. The ambiance of the place is not so great, it could have been better. The food though is good. I for one like the burgers, pizzas and the chili chicken and I would recommend the same to who ever visits this place. You must visit this place if you want to watch football games.

Sports Bar
Dugout does total justice to the word "Sports Bar", UNLIKE many pubs who call themselves sports bar and play Stupid songs for people to dance in but DUGOUT is just an awesome place, great hospitality, Commentary for all the games played, let it be FOOTBALL, cricket or F1, Great staff,....YUMMY PIZZA.
May 27,2014
Sports Bar with Yum Pizza
This is the best sports bar in Bangalore. Passionate supporters from the city gather together to watch matches at dugout (Including Liverpool Fans #YNWA)
Don't miss the Chicken Pizza and the Garlic Bread. The food here is brilliant. The beer ain't bad either.
When not watching a match, feel free to play pool or just hang around with friends to some techno (YUCK!) music.

Fun place to hang
I've been going here quite a bit since the last year or so. It is a good place for groups to hang out, mainly because there are things to do. There's Play Station, Foosball, pool etc, which can keep the momentum of a group going. The area is pretty large, and divided into sections, making it comfortable to hang out. There is an area inside which goes from being a dance area to a VIP lounge to anything they change it to. Food, specially the pizzas in both veg and non veg are quite good. Beer of course, is the primary drink we have there, though other liquor is not very expensive. For a group of 8 in an average evening, the fare would come up to 5000 change including food and beverages. The location is excellent, near Jyoti Nivas college, and usually it's the young crowd that hangs out here, though it's not always. They screen games and have pretty good viewing. Music is also pretty good in there.
Downsides, here goes. The games and resources are not booked or regulated in use. So groups often get into conflicts. Kids from schools and colleges come here and cozy up in the afternoons in the dinghy interiors, so it's best to avoid corners if you go there for lunches!
Nevertheless a fun place to hang, specially in a gang.

Horrible food!!!
Pathetic food!!!!! Indian food is way too spicy....and Italian is a disaster!!! Pasta was prepared with red chillies and Indian masalas!!!! And highly highly priced for the kind of food served! I would suggest any one against going to this restaurant...save yourself from a disappointing evening at this place. Not worth it!!

Pathetic Place to have food
18 of us were there for lunch and we opted for buffet. Place and service is horrible ( 1 person servd 18 people table due to which it took 2 hours to finish our lunch). starters were served on the table in which only the chaats were fine but rest of the veg and non-veg starters were bad and chicken was burnt & very spicy..:(. In the main course, firstly we have to wait for 15 mins to let the food come and we started with biryani which was half cooked . then we just lost the interest in food and were really disappointed and also we ordered for soft drinks which was served after we finished our lunch.... left the place after paying the bill ! After some time of our lunch, most of the people had stomach upset... It was complete disaster...consider this feedback very seriously if you want to enjoy your lunch...

Nice Rooftop and good food, what else you need :)
I celebrated my birthday with gang of my friends. Made my day. It was really a special birthday to me. Though had more expectations from the so called sports bar, but did not find much of sports there to play with. Somehow spend an hour or so having not so fresh lamb starters(though the other variety of starters were gud). Then we moved on to the roof top where we had the cake cutting. These people were not able to provide us cake so 2 of my friends had to go out to get a cake. Now the best part was the songs and the food. There was guitarist who was singing songs and playing guitar. It was really great to have him sing songs. Along with that it started raining which made the atmosphere really enjoyable and soothing. The food was really great. Though it is a bit expensive but worth for the quality of the food. Once in a while we can go. As I said earlier, sports bar was the only disappointment as I went only for playing not for boozing(I am a non alcoholic person :) )

Bad Experience!
6 of us were there for lunch some time back and we opted for there buffet. Place and service is ok ok. starters were served on the table in which only the chaats were fine but rest of the veg and non-veg starters were bad and chicken was burnt..:(. In the main course, firstly we have to wait for 15 mins to let the food come in the cauldrons and we started with biryani which was half cooked . then we just lost the interest in food and were really disappointed and left the place after paying the bill !

Sportsbar? Seriously ???
This is no way a sports bar. The music they play here aint that great also. When I went there I was really disappointed but then we moved to the top floor where they have an open restaurant, now that was far far better. Since I went there late evening it was quite nice with cool breeze. Sitting has been spread nicely with enough place but still not looking cramped up. Food was average, like any other restaurant... we ordered some chicken which seemed to be fresh. Dint like the veg much tho. Worth a visit for a date.

huh? sportsbar?
You would go to a place like this and wonder, what exactly is the definition of a sports bar?
Dugout for example has 2 giant screens displaying sports and one pool and one foosball table each. Apart from that they also have couple of small television screens and a horrible DJ who plays loud but rubbish music and has no clue about mixing tracks.
The service is slow and at times you have to wait 10 mins to find a waiter and place your order. Even then they manage to forget all about getting your food/drink.
The crowd was few groups of abusing teenagers yelling at each other as their teams took the upperhand in a football game.
If this is a sports bar, then Id rather watch my sport elsewhere. Not one to be repeated surely

Good place to chill out
Had been to this place a month back n loved the food....went back again to the roof top restaurant last week..
I would recommend the mouth watering pizzas n pastas
The starters r the best i've ever had
All in all "PAISA WASOOL" sports bar with a good food,pool table n big HD screens

A destination For the Hangout-ers!!!
The sports bar provided me with great entertainment and tasty food. Highlights are the projected Screen and pool table. My taste buds was more enlightened by the Continental cuisine. A must visit for pasta lovers. Also try the amazing melt-in-the-mouth continental starters. A great place for chilling and hangouts! I strongly recommend Dugout for its great experience!

great place - awful food!
Despite poor reviews on Foursquare we still decided to visit this place. The cafe itself is pretty, great ambience, outdoors with plants and some water. 4/5 for that.
the food however was a HUGE disappointment. There were 3 of us - we ordered Black Label (which my friends were sure was not the real thing, it was local whiskey being disgyuised as BL) and a grey goose vodka.
Food - the crispy fried veggies were anything but crisp, this is a horrid version of a homemade Bajji that you're paying 200bucks for. the batter was thick and soggy with all the oil.
Next came the prawns in butter garlic - 6 medium prawns swimming in a bowl of pale gluggy white sauce that was unpalatable. we had to fish the prawns out and have them w/o the sauce.
the fish fingers - 6 of them were of uneven sizes, over cooked to the point of dried out, with way too much ginger that gave the finger a crazy kind of heat that burn your throat and stomach - this too was awful.
french fries - the usual but a ton of salt that they took back and dusted it off.
Bill for this mean Rs.4700/- 4 black labels, 1 large vodka and all the above food. so much for this terrible food. safe to say we ain't going back there or recommending it to anyone.

Good Ambience and Good Food
We went here on Tuesday for a team dinner. The place lived to its expectations created from the Photos uploaded here. The food was really very tasty especially the few starters we ordered. We ordered Golden Fried Prawns, Achari Chicken and a Non-Veg Platter. We ordered our main dish seperately however ended up having 6 sizzlers on the table. I would give only a 3/5 for the sizzler because i felt the meat/chicken very chewy. Overall the place was good.

Great lunch buffet option
As someone has mentioned this is a hidden treasure. There are quite a few restaurants on the JNC road and this one is on the Hosur road and side and in the same building as Oyster bay.
Been here multiple times along with colleagues at work.
Staff are very friendly and receptive to feedback. Service is good
The lunch buffet spread is awesome and I would vouch every item on the spread is quite different and tasty.
USP of this place is the terrace top and would be great option in the evenings...

Been to this place for an office party. We were blown with the quality and taste of the food. The taste was so exceptional that no measel was left behind. They have a very good range of starters and main course.
The best stuff here is the PIZZA & Sizzlers cause its hand made. I have never tasted such yummy pizza in my life. I went crazy over the VEG and NON-VEG Pizza. The garlic Bread was excellent too.
Please eat to your Hearts content !!!

Hidden Treasure!
First impressions : We went straight to the rooftop. At first glance, this place looked beautiful; Nice ambiance & great view, but empty on a Saturday night. We had second thoughts and checked out the Sports Bar(Dingy, I must say) below, only to settle for the rooftop.
Tummy Talks : Dugout has a very elaborate Menu consisting of Indian, Continental & Italian. All with Starters, Main Course & Desserts. We ordered for a pitcher of beer before we even sat on our tables & some Sangria for the lady. The Beer was crisp & had just the right amount of fizz! We placed an order of Veg Fritters & Kastoori Kabab, the former had a light batter(Beer Batter, Am guessing) and was crisp, the latter came with a rolled up papad which also doubled up as a bowl for the vinegared onions. The Continental Barbeque Platter 2 Tiger Prawns, Lamb Chops, 2 Grilled Fish Sheeks, 2 Grilled Chicken skewers, 2 Chicken Sausages, this was a meal in itself.Next came the Pizzas. By far, the best pizzas Ive had in town PERIOD! We ordered the Diavola(Salami, Pepperoni, Sausage) & Spiced Chicken (delicately spiced & roasted chicken). Both these came with Oregano, Chilli Flakes, Tabasco & Olive Oil on the side. These were the most VFM pizzas Ive ever had. I would probably pay 700INR for something of this quality at Toscano/Sunnys. We had both these for that price. Last but not the least, was the our favorite dish of all time BIRYANI. We ordered the Lucknowi Ghosht Biryani, mildly spiced & aromatic. Alas, we had no space for any dessert.

One of South Bangalore's most popular Terrace Garden Restaurants, Dug out offers gorgeous terrace settings where the punters choose to spill out onto when the sun is at its most glorious. An excellent place to chill out on a lazy afternoon with a great buffet spread or a beautiful a la carte for family, friends or the special someone under a starry night. This is a place to visit either in the day or night. Don't miss out on the starters and a range of alcohol available.
A romantic place for drinks, food , ambience and service. Worth your money and time ... Would love to revisit again soon...
