Posted: March 27, 2014|
LLOYDS Bank has launched a programme to support emerging social entrepreneurs in South Devon.
Forestry consultant Kenton Rogers (pictured), founder of Treeconomics, visited the Newton Abbot branch of Lloyds Bank to explain how the programme worked for him.
Kenton attends the Dartington School for Social Entrepreneurs. Dirk Rohwedder, head of the school, said: "Working in partnership with Lloyds Bank and Big Lottery Fund has enabled us to support some of the most dynamic and promising social enterprises across Devon. This year we're thrilled to be supporting more than 40 individuals with bright ideas for social change and look forward to seeing a new generation of start-ups apply for the 2014/15 programme."
In partnership with the School for Social Entrepreneurs, the Start-up Programme offers opportunities for entirely new ideas, while the Scale-Up Programme provides support for existing social enterprises looking to expand. Applications close on April 3 at 3pm.

Steve Lansdown's Bristol Sport adds basketball to its stable
Posted: June 17, 2013|
The sporting organisation backed by Bristol City's majority shareholder Steve Lansdown has added another team to its sporting stable.
The Bristol Academy Flyers basketball team is the latest outfit to benefit from sponsorship from Bristol Sport Ltd whose aim it is to make Bristol a world-class sporting city.
Bristol Sport and SGS College's Bristol Academy Flyers Basketball Club have signed a deal to bring top-flight professional basketball to the city from 2014.
The Bristol Flyers will compete as a brand new basketball franchise in the British Basketball League competitions from the 2014-15 campaign onwards.
The BBL is in its 27th campaign, but will be expanding over the next two years. With Bristol's arrival in the competition from 2014, the BBL will now cover all of the UK's major cities.
The Bristol Flyers can look forward to competing in front of sell-out crowds at iconic UK basketball venues, including the Emirates Arena in Glasgow and the London 2012 Copper Box.
The Bristol Academy Flyers have established themselves as one of the most successful and well-supported community basketball clubs in the country, securing promotion to National League Division One in 2007, becoming National Cup Champions in 2010 and being crowned English Division one Champions in 2011.
They have achieved an unequalled record of success and achievement at senior and junior levels since 2003.
Bristol Sport chairman Martin Griffiths said: "This is a really exciting opportunity for sport in Bristol, and for basketball in particular. We want to see everyone in Bristol given the best possible chance to enjoy what sport brings, including the chance to support local teams on the national stage, or even to compete at the elite level.
"The Flyers have already developed one of the best youth schemes and academy pathways in the country, and having performed so successfully in recent years at the top of the semi-professional leagues, it is right and proper they should be part of the UK's premier professional basketball league.
"This new Bristol Flyers BBL franchise will give the city's talented young basketball players and coaches the chance to develop and to shine at the national level. It's great news for sport in Bristol, and I am delighted that Bristol Sport has been able to make it happen."
Andreas Kapoulas, head coach of Bristol Flyers, said: "We are very excited that we will be competing at the UK's premier professional league from 2014. Since Filton College started their basketball programme in 2003, Bristol Academy Flyers have risen to the top of English basketball, in part because of the College's nationally-recognised athlete performance pathway."
"The Flyers BBL franchise is a great opportunity for the city of Bristol and basketball in particular. Our sport is an emerging market in the UK and this is definitely evident with big sporting organisations such as the NBA and the Euroleague holding prestigious events in the O2 arena and other venues across the country."
"Flyers have already raised noteworthy momentum with junior delivery and community provision in Bristol. The new Flyers BBL franchise will greatly enhance our current operation and significantly advance the development of basketball in Bristol and the UK."
Andy Webb, BBL chief operating officer, added: "We are delighted to welcome the Bristol Flyers to the BBL. They are a perfect fit to extend our reach within the UK and, with the support of Bristol Sport, we believe all the building blocks are in place for a hugely successful franchise."
Basketball is the most played team sport in the world, with over 450 million taking part globally, as well as being the biggest Olympic participation sport.
In the UK basketball is one of the fastest growing participation sports, with more than 320,000 people now playing every month. Only football has more ten to 16 year olds playing the game than basketball, especially as it is now coached as part of the national curriculum.
BSL will manage the Flyers' participation in the BBL alongside its existing support for Bristol City FC in the Football League – who also sponsor Bristol Academy Women's FC in the Super League – Bristol Rugby in the RFU Championship and Dino Zamporelli in GP3.

Super silly towel-based series from the ever-brilliant Bela Borsodi
You may already know that we're massive fans of Bela Borsodi whose photography fizzes and pops with charm and humour. The Austrian-born, New York-based creative has an eye for an idea almost second to none and although the set-ups are massively different, there's a DNA that runs throughout his work of great-looking silliness. One of the newest projects on his site is this series Handtuch for Fräulein magazine and whether you're an existing Bela fan or a new convert, we think you'll see what we mean about his brilliance.

@cecilia Gov. Christie earned a True from PolitiFact New Jersey 10 times since we started fact-checking him. You can see his True rulings here: http://www.politifact.com/personalities/chris-christie/statements/byruling/true/ And the rest of his Truth-O-Meter 'report card' here: http://www.politifact.com/personalities/chris-christie/
@jmjral Comparing those two figures -- the $938 billion from the 2010 report and the $1.762 trillion figure from the latest report -- is misleading. It's comparing apples and oranges because the latest estimate includes costs in more years, over a different time frame. If you compare the years covered in both reports -- 2012 to 2019 -- the total estimate has only increased by 8.6 percent.
@DJ_Jaws: About half of the increase in education funding in Gov. Christie's most recent budget was required as part of a court order to go to the former Abbott districts. Here's a fact check that discusses the education funding: http://www.politifact.com/new-jersey/statements/2011/oct/06/committee-our-childrens-future/television-ad-promotes-chris-christies-spending-cu/
And here's the Star-Ledger story on the court order: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/05/christie_says_he_will_comply_w.html
@time2decide We note the case of Matthew Butler and Marion Butler in the full story. But they were subpoenaed to testify before a House committee. Sen. Roberts comment was about a former senator being compelled to testify in front of a Senate committee. That's why we rated this statement True.
@oneseventwo According to the DEP, there are 75,000 licensed hunters in New Jersey and the state has a population of about 8.79 million. So it is correct to say less than 1 percent of New Jersey residents hunt.
@Pastafarian311 New Jersey does have a three strikes law: 2C:43-7.1. It states that a person convicted of certain first-degree crimes who has twice previously been convicted, shall be sentenced to a term of life imprisonment by the court. Here's a recent case of a defendant sentenced under the law: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/06/judge_makes_hitler_comparison.html
@mickeg You're right that two of the eight cast members were born and raised in New Jersey. But, as we note in the story, another cast member spent most of his childhood in the state, and another is from Rhode Island -- not New Jersey, but also not New York. On balance, the PolitiFact panel thought Half True was the appropriate rating.

Seward Finishes Trip With Pair of SplitsPosted by Roy under Athletics
Continuing on their longest road trip of the season, the Seward County Saints parked in Midwest City, Oklahoma Tuesday afternoon for a double dip with the Bulldogs from Rose State. The Saints fell behind early 2-0 in the 1st inning after Rose State right fielder Brian Carter cashed in on a pair of Seward County walks with a 2 RBI double. Seward roared back in the 3rd however, putting up a 5 spot of their own with a 2 RBI double from Luke Campbell directly followed by an RBI single from Mikel Huston. The score held at 5-2 until the Bulldogs scored a run in the 4th to chip into the lead but Seward County put the game out of reach in the 5th with another 5 run inning, thanks in part to home runs from Huston and David Cruz. Campbell blasted a home run of his own in the 7th to make the lead 12-3 and Rose State scored three in the bottom half but that was not nearly enough as the Saints came away with the 12-6 victory in game one. Huston and Campbell combined to go 5 for 8 with 6 RBI's in the contest. In game two of the twin bill, Kevin Schultz saw his first action as a Saint on the mound and struggled early as the Bulldogs got off to a 3-0 1st inning lead. Seward got back even after a 2nd inning RBI triple from Tanner Woods and Billy Ninemire's first career home run in the 3rd to tie the game at 3-3. A crucial 4th inning error by Seward shortstop Kelby Tomlinson led to 3 unearned Rose State runs to give them the lead for good. Seward would come as close as 6-4 but couldn't manage anymore and fell by that score. Wednesday the Saints would travel down the road to El Reno where they had a date set with Redlands C.C. For Redlands starter Ryan Fisher, it would be a date that he would soon like to forget. Seward scored 7 runs in the 1st inning before recording an out, a nice cushion for starter Michael Alger who was set to start his first game as a Saint. Jared Boadbent had the biggest blow of the inning wrapping 2 RBI triple down the right field line to extend the lead to that 7-0 mark. Redlands scored one run in the bottom of the frame but unfortunately for them, that's the last time they would want to look at the scoreboard in the first game. Seward continued to pound the Cougar pitching, finishing the contest with 20 runs on 19 hits including 3 run shots from both Huston and Broadbent. Every Saints starter had at least one hit and Campbell, Huston, Broadbent, and Trent Martinez all finished with 3 a piece. Alger pitched the complete game allowing just 3 hits and that 1 run in picking up his first win with the Saints. It's too bad the Saints didn't save some of those hits and runs for the second game of the double header as they scored just once in the first five innings and found themselves in an 8-1 hole after the 5th frame. A four run 6th highlighted by a 2 RBI double from Huston drew the Saints to within 3 but a pair of Cougar runs in the bottom half would extend that lead back to 10-5. Campbell launched his 5th home run of the week in a three run shot in the 7th but that was just not enough as the Saints fell 10-8. The loss drops Seward to 16-8 overall as they head into a big weekend series with 1st place Butler starting Saturday at Brent Gould Field.

Since I was a kid going to the South Shore Shopping Center in Vermillion I have also be amazed by the lake breeze effect. Ohio need to get into the 21st century and have thousand of these turbines. Take a drive through West Lafeyette, Indiana, there are hundreds of wind turbines for miles. This is a good start to start to educating our population using our resources.
Hey, that looks much better than burning coal. Even West Virginia is building installing wind mills. Stop living in past. Way to go Lincoln Electric.
I remember carrying plastic milks jugs in summer of 1978. I'd open all the cans of our 3.2 beer and pour them into the milk jugs. Many a happy Sunday afternoon in the old stadium bleachers for a young lad.
Naysayers, you need to get out and look around and think about our Ohio in twenty to thirty years. Go for a drive north of West Lafeyette towards Chicago on I 65. There are miles and miles of wind mills, over a thousand. You cruise at 70 mph and can't drive out of them. Oh! What about that backwards state of West Virginia? They have a field near Parsons, and are constructing another field adjacent to Elkins. As a kid I always marvel at the lake effect breeze in Vermilion. It is a natural resource we need to exploit, develop, and provide northern Ohio was another power source.
I'm never buying a Nike product.
Lebron will never be a champion until he learns to post-up. Jordan did, Kobe does at times. So for now Lebron is just Dominique Wilkins.
We are in an El Nino year, therefore moisture and snow totals are higher and the jet stream is different. I am surprised by the knee jerk reaction and the outright ignorance of comments. There is a difference between climate and weather. Yes, the weather in southern Ohio is major snow but that is expected in an El Nino year. But the climate facts are we have experience the highest global average temperature in recorded history eight of the past ten years, CO2 levels are the highest in measurable history based on ice core samples completed at "The Ohio State University" by a Buckeye professor. I guess you only believe it if Tressel did the research. These are the facts, please think, but you decide.
I would like take a train for a beer and game from Lorain. World class metro areas have good public tranportion. I have advocated this for years.
After living two years in Mexico City in heavily polluted air, it is important to protect air quality. E-check is not pointless and the editorial is a misleading swipe protecting air quality. State Senator Grendell obviously has made a short sighted politic sound bit for the media.
What a bunch of knee jerk reactions from you folks. I have always driven four cylinders starting with a 1979 Rabbit with 30 mpg plus. Looks like the people in the article are thinking with their pocketbook. Bottom line is I have paid thousands less for gas than you V8 goofballs. If GM could build a Civic I'd buy it. If GM would gotten the 1.4 turbocharges 1.4 liters on the road at 45 mpg I would bought one. Americas are duped into building huge cars. You people need to travel and see how the rest of the world lives. Europeans are just fine with small cars. Bring on the carbon tax and lower income tax. That will change your minds for the who refuse to face fact.. Climate change is happening if whether you believe it or not.
You miss the point. I am now paying for the non-insured who go to the emergency room and we pay the most of any industrialized nation. More than France! You believe health care is a privilege but doctors take the Hippocratic Oath to treat all patients, insured or not. Emergency room medicine is the most expensive. I am not naive and understand health insurance is a "for profit" business. This business needs to be reformed, if not, my premiums will continue to go up as I am squeezed to pay for more of the uninsured.
Why do I feel like Frank Duffy is at shortstop and we just traded Greg Needles and Chris Chamblis to the Yankees? I just hope one of these guys has a hairdo like Oscar Gamble or drinks beer through his nose like Joe C. for some entertainment.
I'd like to refresh a few memories. The money player on those 80's Cavs was Larry Nance. Price often struggled to get his shot off when defended well and Daugherty had trouble getting post position. Nance was the one player who was able to create his on shot at critical times with Hod Rod providing energy play. Nance was a great leaper and a joy yo watch. In this debate don't forget who was the money player. But thier is really no debate the LeBron Era Cavs have multiple role players who can create plus Lebron and more depth. Go Cavs!
I, too, have been a constant travelers on I-71 from Columbus to Ashland since 1979. Frankly, the problem with traffic are the number of rude drivers who fail to travel in the slow lane. Countless times I have observed clueless mini-van and SUV drivers with Franklin County plates exclusively traveling in the left lane, impeding the travel of faster vehicles, and talking on cell phones. This problem is compounded when traffic gets heavy. On the three lane sections, these same drivers cruise in the far left lane. As a skier, I drive in West Virginia often on I-79 between Clarksburg and Morgantown. In heavy traffic periods the West Virginia drivers, who traveling at higher speeds, always yield to faster vehicles and travel in the right lane. Even in the mountains and with higher speeds I always feel safer with no frustration when drivers are considerate. This is true with my driving in Germany and Mexico. If drivers treated I-71 as a true interstate instead of an outerbelt we would be talking about the new high speed rail creating enconomic development in counties instead of useless third lane promoting further inconsiderate driving.
Well, Zach Space and my mother-in-law forgot to renew their driver's license. It is not a big deal, except for Zach who may have to retake the driver's test as my mother-in-law. This does not make you a bad person. As a local congressmen, he should know Belpre is a speed trap just like Newburg Heights or I-71 out of Cleveland. The NRCC is just looking for dirt and as a local, this just does not apply.

City Fruit has grown tremendously since we started working in late 2008. We conducted a fruit harvest in Phinney and donated 5,000 pounds of fruit, experimented with selling fruit as a way to raise money, implemented a membership program, held many classes on subjects ranging from canning to espalier, launched a Web site, and many other activities.
So far, the work behind those accomplishments has been done by volunteers. As we at City Fruit plan to take on even more work in the coming year, we are beginning to grow beyond a volunteer-only organization. To that end, we're very happy to announce that Gail Savina, who hatched the idea behind City Fruit, will be transitioning in to an Executive Director role. This means, of course, that she's stepping down from the board of directors, but it means that we can ideally begin to pay her for all the work she does, and will continue to do, for City Fruit.
Gail plans to be as involved as ever! We believe that having a paid director will only help City Fruit continue its mission of helping tree owners grow healthy fruit, harvest and use what they can, and share what they don't need long into the future.

Whoever finds loveby Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
English version by Coleman Barks
Original Language Persian/Farsi
Whoever finds love
beneath hurt and grief
disappears into emptiness
with a thousand new disguises
|-- from The Essential Rumi, Translated by Coleman Barks

View All Poems by Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
I first came across this Rumi poem excerpt several years ago on a wonderful CD called Secret Language: Rumi, A Celebration in Song, by a Ramananda. Even now when I hear these words sung in my inner ear, repeated over and over, a hypnotic man's voice, a soaring woman's voice--
Whoever finds love...
Whoever finds looove...
Beneath hurt and grief...
Most of us live our entire lives with a thick veil or filter draped across existence -- the ego-mind. Everything we perceive or imagine is colored by that filter. When the ego falls away we "disappear" -- the normal sense of self as a separate, isolated entity amazingly fades out. The mind grows quiet. Any movement in the mind is perceived as a minor ripple that does not affect the clarity. As a result, the endless projections of identity, form, and enforced relationships between aspects of reality disappear. Instead, there is only a unified Whole, which includes us. We, like that Wholeness, are now understood to be formless, fluid. In this sense, we are spaciousness in an even vaster spaciousness. This is how we "disappear into emptiness."
So, the disguises... Being formless, we still participate in the realm of form, because that is all the realm of form understands. Rather than a trap or a fixed identity, it becomes a game. You pretend to be someone, so other someones can relate to you. You wear masks that suit the situation, and then change them as the situation changes. Yet none of them is "you," and you know this. Being formless, you can assume any form. You have "a thousand new disguises."

|For the weapon in Fallout: New Vegas, see Time bomb.
She didn't, you know, do anything to me while I was out? Did she?"— Timebomb talking about Bittercup.
Timebomb is a badly injured man in Red's clinic in Big Town in 2277.
Currently drugged and laid out in the operating room of Red's clinic, Timebomb was severely wounded during the last super mutant attack, when Red and Shorty were kidnapped. He is known as Timebomb due to his mood swings; he has prolonged periods of calm before instigating big disturbances.[1]
Timebomb, like every other person in Big Town, came from Little Lamplight. If the player character speaks to Bittercup, she will say she had a relationship with Timebomb. If you speak to Timebomb about this, he will have no recollection of it, implying she may have "had a relationship" with him while he was unconscious, and alluding to Bittercup's fascination with death.
Interactions with the player characterEdit
Interactions overviewEdit
Effects of player's actionsEdit
- With a high enough Medicine skill (40), you can choose to heal or kill Timebomb.
- With a Medicine skill lower than 40, the only options presented are to "leave him alone" or "put him out of his misery."
- If you heal him, complete the "Big Trouble in Big Town" quest, and help defeat the super mutant attack, he will give you the Lucky 8-ball upon speaking to him.

Timebomb shows signs of social awkwardness.
Notable quotesEdit

- "You do actually know how to plant mines, right?"
- "Wow. That's ... you saved my life! Thanks. You're a good person, you know that?"
Timebomb appears only in Fallout 3.

Leveraging reporting to drive sustainability.
By Mike Wallace
Having just returned from our second trip to the West Coast in 2012 in collaboration with CR Magazine, I felt it timely to share with you some of the things we are learning as we enter our second year in the US.
The past year has been an amazing ride for GRI here in the US . Friends like CROA have been instrumental in helping GRI gain momentum very quickly here in the US. In fact, it is do their support and other associations like them that we have had a tremendous uptake in GRI in the US. Information collected by our US Data Partner – Governance & Accountability Institute is now indicating that GRI reporters in the US have grown by over 30% in the last year. The numbers are still being tallied, but watch follow me @M_A_Wallace to learn the latest as soon as it comes out.
What are we seeing?
First, there is an incredible amount of interest in the subject of sustainability and it is coming from all corners of the economy – from both public and private corporations, to national, state and local agencies, to academic institutions and, of course, non-profit organizations. Second, the entrepreneurial spirit in the US continues to thrive as all sorts of entities and passionate individuals strive to enter into the field as they recognize the growing business opportunities. Third, this all creates a potential and tendency for all this energy to generate unnecessary confusion and / or redundancy in the field and can be counter to our collective interests to – 'reduce, reuse & recycle'.
Due to GRI's global efforts and increasing uptake, we have an unending number of requests to speak either as part of the never ending stream of sustainability related events, or to individual organizations trying to understand how and what to report. The GRI Focal Point USA offices alone could spend every hour of every day speaking individually to POTENTIAL and EXISTING sustainability reporters about their needs and interests in addressing the growing demand and interest in disclosing sustainability information according to GRI.
In addition, there are an ever increasing number of sustainability related events happening all across North America that are interested in either featuring GRI or GRI reporters in the content. This doesn't include the growing number of individuals and advisors who want to talk to GRI about their latest ideas for collaboration or partnership, or about how GRI could be improved. There aren't enough hours in the day to deal with all this demand, and this is just reality at GRI. What about the major US corporate brands that are constantly being asked to engage, speak, contribute, respond, answer and/or report out about their activities in this space? How can any of them attend to their core business needs
How does GRI manage?
First of all, GRI was created almost 15-years ago with the purpose of standardizing how ALL organizations would view AND report on sustainability performance. Through a global multi-stakeholder process the GRI Reporting Framework emerged and has been continually improved with the input of over 30,000 sustainability practitioners from all corners of the global economy. As such, the GRI Reporting Framework is now being written into national laws, integrated into stock exchange listing guidelines, utilized by state own corporations and woven into procurement policies. It is being used by more than 80% of the world's largest corporations (the Global 250) as they tell their sustainability story and being used by private companies, academic institutions, government agencies, non-profits and even large events to report out on sustainability performance.
This is all well and good, but it needs to be understood that the majority of our time here in the US is spent re-telling this GRI story and reiterating the fact that a globally recognized sustainability reporting framework has existed for almost 15-years, integrates other globally recognized frameworks and is already being used by the majority of the United States' largest companies. Even though my colleagues and I and most GRI reporters know this, it is surprising how many in the field are not aware of GRI's history or global uptake.
Why should you care?
If you are in this field then you are of a similar mindset that we need to conserve our resources and all need to be more efficient about our daily operational activities. This ranges from corporations to sustainability advisors, ranking and rating firms and event organizers. It is no longer physically possible for a US company (or a global company for that matter) to keep up with all the varying demands they have to "present" their sustainability story. It is also unsustainable for all the varied sustainability related initiatives and efforts to carry on with their own efforts at the current pace and growth rate of the field.
We in this field know we have 1-plant and we all know that we are currently beyond the carrying capacity of this planet. Many of us feel incredibly passionate about these issues and many of us have very strong opinions about what "these issues" are. We, however, cannot and will never be able to truly make sense of the rate and pace of our consumption of the earth's finite resources unless we all measure, report and then manage in a consistent, comparable and credible manner.
This is exactly what GRI was created for 15-years ago and continues to provide for all of us – if we would just use it!
Sustainability 4.0 – the next generation of reporting
One of our biggest efforts this year is to drive global feedback back into the GRI Reporting Framework - https://www.globalreporting.org/reporting/latest-guidelines/Pages/default.aspx . GRI's multi-stakeholder process is what lends global credibility to the Guidelines themselves. It is estimated that over 30,000 experts in sustainability have contributed to GRI's work over the years. This has come about not only in the creation of the core set of Guidelines, but also in the development of ten Sector Supplements - https://www.globalreporting.org/reporting/sector-guidance/Pages/default.aspx and in numerous research and Linkage Documents - https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/resource-library.aspx?resSearchMode=resSearchModeText&resCatText=Linkage+Documents .
The G4 Development Process
At this very moment GRI is working globally to enhance the Guidelines and bring them up to date with the most current thinking on the sustainability reporting. This work will culminate in the next generation of the GRI Reporting Framework, also known as G4.
The Guidelines' development is influenced by changes in the reporting field, such as the introduction of new concepts, trends and tools, and requests by new players. By developing guidance, GRI aims to drive and direct sustainability reporting, towards a sustainable global economy.
The landscape of sustainability reporting is continuously evolving; which influences the development of GRI's guidance. More stakeholders than ever – including regulators, investors, rating agencies and NGOs – are increasingly asking for non-financial data.
The G4
The next generation of GRI Guidelines – G4 – will aim to address requirements for sustainability data, and enable reporters to provide relevant information to various stakeholder groups. The Guidelines will also improve on content in the current Guidelines – G3 and G3.1 – with strengthened technical definitions and improved clarity, helping reporters, information users and assurance providers.
G4 is planned to be published in 2013. G4's development follows GRI's due process, using GRI's multi-stakeholder international consultation method. Public consultation periods, diverse expert Working Groups and GRI's approval procedures will ensure that G4's guidance is consensus-based and reflects the broadest possible stakeholder input.
A detailed description of the steps GRI will take in developing G4 is provided in the G4 Development Process Overview.
International Working Groups
The G4 Working Groups - https://www.globalreporting.org/reporting/latest-guidelines/g4-developments/g4-working-groups/Pages/default.aspx are tasked with developing the content of the new GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. A total of five Working Groups will contribute to the G4 Guidelines, these are:
· Supply Chain Disclosure Working Group
· Disclosure on Management Approach Working Group
· Governance and Remuneration Working Group
· Application Level Working Group
Global Public Comment Periods
The first public comment period (PCP) for G4 ran for a period of 90 days between 26 August and 24 November 2011. The PCP attracted around 2300 participants in total, 1832 of whom provided a submission to the online survey.
The online survey formed the basis for all consultation activities and was made available in five languages (English, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Spanish). During this period, GRI also held workshops on the survey contents, and accepted submissions addressing G4 outside of the survey platform, for example by email.
The findings of this consultation process led to decision making on the formation of Working Groups and possible ways forward for the G4 development process. The many constructive comments received will also support the Working Groups and Secretariat during the G4 development process.
A series of documents providing detailed information about the PCP results is available to download here:
· A summary report of the feedback collected during the PCP
Supporting documents:
· The original survey document in five languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, French and Portuguese)
· A list of all the organizations and individuals who participated in the online survey
· A full listing of the qualitative submissions made throughout the public comment period (Please note: this is a large file size – 7MB – and may take a while to download)
· A full tabular listing of the quantitative results from the online survey
· Notes taken at G4-related workshops
Having your say
The Working Groups will develop a first draft of G4, which will be available for public comment in mid-2012. The final draft of G4 will be influenced by the results of this international public consultation. This is your time, and all those you know to have your say in the future of sustainability reporting. GRI's Focal Point USA will be holding online and in-person working sessions to solicit feedback and we have already committed – thanks to CROA's Commit Campaign – to hold at least one Public Comment Period in late summer in San Francisco.
If you have an interest in hosting/holding a Public Comment Period on the G4 – please let us know.

The Irish Jewish gathering continues this week. In 1965 the television series 'Discovery' visited Dublin's South Circular Road which had been a Jewish neighbourhood since the late 1890s. Aaron Steinberg living in the area for over forty years describes the changes he has seen in that time. Many Jewish families moved away to the south Dublin suburbs after the war.
Discovery : The Jews in Ireland was first broadcast 8 November 1965. The full programme can be viewed on the RTÉPlayer

In recently trying to fill in a friend on what I'd spent the last year or two listening to, I realized that my personal taste tends to gravitate towards some element of either Folk form (any hint of hill-folk finger-pickin' or Ozark/Appalachian melancholy and I'm in), Psychedelia or the tendency to extend a theme for a good long jam (a category in which I include a lot of the Jazz that I like), or just a great, funky groove.
With those qualifiers in place, the following is a year by year review of the last decade which somehow got past me with out noticing it. I mean, really?!! 2010?!!! I didn't see it coming:
2000: Album of the Year
Air's enjoyable and wacky Moon Safari had been on the decks for a couple years before they contracted for the soundtrack to Sofia Coppolla's Virgin Suicides. The resultant score is absolutely sublime and marked the French electronauts as contenders to watch.
For myself, it was the defining sound of the millennium's new year.
Shelby Lynne released a killer country-soul gem, I Am Shelby Lynne, that echoed early material from the likes of Bonnie Raitt. Thinking that it was a brilliant debut from a talented 32yo unknown, I was eventually shocked to find that it was her 6th album. I listened to it for months.
Christmas is so close that I can already feel it being over. Holidays go by so fast that they are always over before you know it. This whole year went by pretty quickly, but I guess it actually took the same amount of time as the year before. It just felt quicker is what I mean. But a lot did really happen this year, and if you thought there were not very many albums out this year you are simply wrong. You might've just had to look a little bit harder this year.
Since the year is quickly winding down, there's only a couple more street dates of releases. This week includes releases from two of my favorites. One of them is only avaialbe on vinyl and the other is just a new sort of collection, but they are still worth our time to talk about. Cat Power still remains one of my favorite singers and personalities. Some might have turned their back on her, while others are still discovering the genius that is the sad, sad voice of Chan Marshall. Chan Marshall is Cat Power, just in case you didn't know. I have had my ups and downs with her over the years, but I have always stood by her side and always been a fan. If you have not heard her albums yet, you should come on down to Amoeba and pick one up. It is never too late to become a Cat Power fan. Or if you already have her entire catalog, you will need to complete it with this album. There is no time like Christmas to listen to Cat Power. Might not seem like the obvious choice for Christmas music, and she doesn't actually have any Christmas albums, but I always like listening to her around the holidays for some reason. I guess for the same reason I like listening to The Carpenters' Christmas Album. I like mixing dark and intense music with such a festive and joyous time. I am actually one of those people that does love Christmas, but I like my Christmas a little darker than normal.
Tracker - Ames (Film Guerrero)
Tracker is, basically, a guy from Portland, OR named John Askew (not to be confused with the DJ of the same name) and whoever he collects around him when he's ready to record and tour. This was the first album from 1999 and is almost completely played by Askew with some help from friends Adam Selzer (Norfolk & Western) and Erik Herzog (Buellton). I bought it solely on the strength of the album art and the weakness of the price tag. Thus, I was doubly rewarded.
In a number of ways there are similarities to the dynamics of Jason Molina's Songs:Ohia/Magnolia Electric Company projects. Both are the aggregates of a single man's songwriting and organizational vision. Both have an undeniably roots Americana base, but with a lot of layering, whether it's voices, samples of classical music or electronic textures hazing around simple plucked banjo lines. Like Molina, Askew writes extremely strong melodies, and couples them with thoughtful and often mystifying lyrics.
The charm of Ames is due largely to its lack of self-seriousness. Askew lets a breath of ease into his writing and production. "Evan's Getting It Together" is driven with some lazy and seemingly living-room recorded handclaps that work perfectly to prove that, as beautiful and lush as the songs here sometimes get, they are being played by some guys who are just trying to make some cool songs that get into your head. In fact, some of the song transitions (and there is a lot of ambient connective tissue) remind me of the great also-overlooked Purple Blue by Eric's Trip, another group of dudes (and a dudette) who were just trying to make some cool songs.
The two self titled Red House Painters albums came out in 1993, a year after Down Colorful Hill came out in 1992. My first album by them that I bought was the "rollercoaster" cover self titled album. The cover was a brilliant sepia colored photo of an old broken down roller coaster. I absolutely love roller coasters and am a sucker for anything with a sepia filter on it. The album included "Grace Cathedral Park," "Mistress," and "Mother." The entire album is fantastic, and I guarantee you that this album will make you cry. It is really all about that fantastic voice that belongs to Mark Kozelek. The slow, dreamy, folky music fits in perfectly with his voice. Many of the songs on the six Red House Painters albums remain some of my favorites. I became obsessed with Red House Painters after this first album. I went back on bought the other two albums and patiently waited until 1995 for the release of Ocean Beach. This became one of those albums forever attached to a year in my life. I can't really think about 1995/1996 without thinking about this album. It was my last year in college and this was the perfect album to sort of help soundtrack my life that year. There was lots of Blur, Elastica, Gene, Suede, and Stereolab to get my through the year as well, but Red House Painters have been in my life ever since.

XNA Community Games Worth Downloading
By drewbert 12 Comments
I was going to dole these out a week at a time (see my previous posts on Being and Organon), but since I have zero free time these days, let's just get on with it. There are a ton of Community Games out there, and, let's face it, most of them are absolute trash. While it's cool that anyone who wants to can put a game up on CG, the sheer number of games is daunting for anyone that just wants to check them out. The "Popular" tab doesn't help much either as it just feeds on itself, leaving out some of the gems. There was only one way to separate the good from the bad: play all of them. So I did. And now, without further ado, here are the XNA Community Games that are, in my estimation, at least worthy of a demo download.
Note: To save time, I didn't include any puzzle, table-top, or card games. Also, this list was made around mid-January 2009, so I haven't had a chance to check out anything that has come out since then.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2006 The 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team handed over operations in Mosul, Iraq, and other surrounding areas in the Ninewa province to the 3rd SBCT, 2nd Infantry Division, in a transfer of authority ceremony held at Forward Operating Base Marez today.
The soldiers of the 172nd SBCT were deployed here in August 2005 and have since conducted more than 15,000 missions collectively including cordon and searches, combat patrols, counter mortar and rocket missions, raids, escort missions and humanitarian aid throughout Dohuk, Ninewa and Irbil provinces.
"The accomplishments of the 172nd SBCT have been truly remarkable," said Army Maj. Gen. Thomas Turner, commanding general of Task Force Band of Brothers, during his speech at the ceremony.
"In the Ninewa province, they successfully served during the constitutional referendum and the national elections, which brought democracy to more than 3.8 million people," Turner said. "They have worked to help restore the damaged infrastructure of Iraq due to years of plight and trained and equipped seven Iraqi Army brigades that are now better prepared to serve the Iraqi people and citizens of Ninewa province."
This is the 3rd SBCT's second tour in the Ninewa province in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"For the last year the 'Artic Wolves' (172nd SBCT) have shed blood, sweat and tears to free the people of Ninewa from the terrorist's grip and help the Iraqi people have a better life," said Army Col. Steven Townsend, commander of the 3rd SBCT, as he shook hands with outgoing 172nd SBCT commander Army Col. Michael Shields. "I can only promise we will work hard to fill the boots of the 172nd."
The ceremony was marked by the traditional uncasing of the colors by the 3rd SBCT.

The family in my area that I mentioned earlier that had a 10 oz baby were contacted by Oprah for a show she is doing in May about miracle babies. It was in the local paper since there was an update on her -now almost 3 lbs!!!! They weren't sure if they would do the show but I thought that we may want to flood her with more preE letters since they will be talking about the babies, maybe they will talk about preE too. The guests have not all been booked so there is time!!!

The Obagi® Blue Peel™ is a medium depth chemical peel procedure. The Blue Peel™ is more effective than micro peels. The Obagi® Blue Peel™ utilizes TCA, which is stronger than the ingredients used for micro peels. This rejuvenating chemical peel restores tighter, smoother and younger looking skin regardless of age, color, or skin type. This revolutionary Obagi® product minimizes the appearance of pores, helps fade dark spots, and softens fine lines and wrinkles, while promoting skin health.
The recovery period for the Obagi® Blue Peel™ is less than the deep peels. Although you may engage in your normal activities immediately following your peel, you are strongly advised to avoid sun exposure. Your skin will be slightly blue for the first few days following a Blue Peel™ procedure. Your skin flakes and peels 5-7 days after your Blue Peel™. This peeling should stop within 8-10 days after your Blue Peel™ treatment.
The Obagi® Blue Peel™ revitalizes your skin, brightens your complexion, and eliminates wrinkles, as well as fading brown spots and other discolorations. The Blue Peel can also make your pores appear smaller, and smooth the surface of your skin.
If you are interested in The Obagi® Blue Peel™ and would like a confidential consultation, contact us today. Or call our Little Rock, Arkansas plastic surgery office at 501-224-1300 or 800-750-7607.

HOUSTON - More older Texans apparently struggling to make ends meet have been turning to food stamps.
The Houston Chronicle reported Monday that the state's fastest-growing group receiving food stamps is those ages 60 to 64.
That age range getting food assistance has reached nearly 85,000 this month, compared to about 41,000 in 2007.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission says the total number of recipients from all age groups has increased 58 percent in the same time period.
The agency says the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, currently has about 3.6 million participants. Spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman says the growth of the senior group has been outstripping all other ages since 2007.

MONZA, Italy, Sept 8, 2012 (AFP) - Lewis Hamilton clocked the fastest lap by the narrowest of margins to top the times in Saturday morning's final free practice session ahead of Sunday's Italian Grand Prix.
The 27-year-old Briton, who was quickest in Friday afternoon's practice, produced a best time of 1min 24.578sec in his McLaren, outpacing nearest rival and local hero two-time champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari by just 0.001 seconds.
Hamilton's stunning effort came just four minutes from the end of the final hour's work before qualifying on another beautiful late summer's day at the old Autodromo Nazionale where the air temperature was 27 degrees and the track temperature was 36 degrees Celsius.
Briton Paul Di Resta was third fastest, two-tenths adrift of the fastest pair, in his Force India car ahead of Brazilian Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari, Hamilton's team-mate Jenson Button - coming off victory in Belgium - and German Nico Rosberg of Mercedes.
The times of the leading drivers endorsed Hamilton's overnight view that qualifying is expected to be a very closely-contested affair with McLaren and Ferrari fighting for pole in contention with Mercedes.
Finn Kimi Raikkonen was seventh quickest ahead of the second Force India driven by German Nico Hulkenberg, whose name has been linked with a possible move to Ferrari, Mexican Sergio Perez of Sauber and Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado of Williams.
Maldonado, involved in a series of incidents this season, was wearing a new helmet design with a slogan that proclaimed 'Less Trouble More Speed'.
He enjoyed an incident free session as the field concentrated on perfecting their set-ups in stable, dry and near-perfect conditions, only the two stars of German motor racing suffering problems.
Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, 43, had problems with the Kinetic Energy Regeneration System (KERS) on his Mercedes car.
Defending champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull slowed to a halt with 'no battery' on his way to 12th, one place behind team-mate Australian Mark Webber. Schumacher was 14th. Vettel wound up eight-tenths off the pace set by Hamilton.
The Red Bulls appeared to be struggling with finding the speed for a single last lap while Ferrari, enjoying support from their home fans, appeared to revel in the chance to take turns in following each other, one driver gaining from the tow of his team-mate to set an improved time.
It is a tactic that the team may consider using in qualifying.

Apologetics - Universal Reconciliation > Arguments Against Universal Salvation
Jude ch 1
(1/2) > >>
I would have to copy and paste all of Jude 1 to support UR...and show the prepared understanding of the argument against it.
I can say particular to these verses:
Jud 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(yes this is King James version)
1. what is destroyed is what is 'unbelieving'...ideas of non belief ...the ego of pride
2. what is under chains 'unto' the judgment day...is present tense
3. are set forth for an example,'suffering' the vengeance of eternal fire...is also present tense
this was shown to me a couple days ago while listening to the Word.
hope its helpful.
So you see it really as "salvation" ........?
Am I "hearing" you right?
if destroying my soulish nature and bringing it to submission to the spirit that is God in me is salvation, then yes. i experience for myself being saved again and again from the ways of man, the world, and myself, and every time its Jesus Christ i have to thank.
the entire design as i see it is to take us out of ourselves and into Him.
i don't follow the terminology of theology. for that i apologize and wish i were more educated in that field of study, then i could clarify precisely for you through terms you are familiar with, instead i can only express as i am.
when i read this...Jude is saying that there are those that will preach eternal damnation, (damnation as i understand it is perpetual in that it cycles out the dross, or death, or refuse of the human being)...but they don't undertsand that what they call damnation is necessary for our growth..they do this to take away the truth of God's love which is eternal and misplace it with a fear based limitation to enforce codes and traditions hoping to create a patent means of attaining God being pleased with us and creating a safety zone of there being a 'line' that determines where you have reached a specific place and can rest. But thats not so, there is no rest, Jesus said so himself, the son of man has no place to lay his head. (no place to stop and wait) we never stop growing. So eternal damnation serves to create an END, to which there is none. (all that is truly eternally damned is that behavior of mine that i have put behind me forever) But eternal damnation of the being,cannot be, as the application of reconciliation/restoration/baptism/salvation/resurrection is individuated to the person and the circumstance. God's creation demands life and all the variants of life in it, i cannot be saved in the same manner as you, but under the same love as you, yes i have been.
while the Father purges me of my self, am i not being destroyed, saved, restored, and washed at the same time? the goal is God growing me towards him.
I fear its likely that i've entered into a discussion that i don't really belong in because of not having the background as many here have.
i'll leave it up to the mod's to remove this or take whatever step is necessary legally regarding what is allowable in this environment.
i have to add...after i posted this i went about my business and realized i had written jude ch 1...(i had been reading through several different books at the time and ch1 obviously came from another study experience)...to which there is only one chapter of Jude! once again my enthusiasm trips me up.
Enthusiasm and zeal are good things when they are for the ways of God. I understand perfectly what you are saying and agree. All of Israel (everyone when they come to the Lord) come out of Egypt and into the wilderness where what is offensive to God and His Kingdom perishes until we all cross the Jordan and receive our new land (resurrected bodies) each in their own order.

Much more could be said to this..But Amen Kratos..thats the crux.

Early reveille in Africa; Kentucky vs. Duke live at 5:30 am on Wednesday here in Africa!
If you come to Africa, there are plenty of opportunities to go on a safari. You'll see lions, giraffes, elephants, leopards, rhinoceroses, to name a few.
However the balance of animals in the African country of Djibouti has been offset by an enormous influx of Wildcats. Kentucky Wildcats to be exact.
On what would be just another quiet African morning here in Djibouti, there were loud yells and cries from the Wildcat population that has now spread itself throughout the African countries, deserts and plains. These normally peaceful and quiet Wildcats apparently, were stirred this morning around 5:30 a.m. (Tuesday 9:30 pm EST) ready to pounce their prey. This morning they were hoping to feast on the rarely seen, at least in these parts, Duke Blue Devil.
Okay, enough National Geographic build-up.
So what, I didn't get to see the whole game of Kentucky vs. Maryland! It was Maryland and I'm a Kentucky fan. I knew the outcome before tipoff. No offense Terp fans, but even when you were ranked as high as #2 in the country back in the 1998-99 season, it didn't matter inside Rupp Arena. You came in with a 10-0 record and left with a 10-1 record, final score UK 103 – Terps 91. It was also the largest crowd to see you play live all season. Just saying.
Duke vs. Kentucky brings on a very tasty flavor of college basketball, albeit a different flavor. Matt Jones would have you believe that Duke fans don't hate Kentucky like we hate Duke. Well, my best friend and the best man in my wedding is a Duke fan, and he hates, I mean HATES Kentucky, worse than North Carolina. Sorry Matt, but Duke fans hate us, too.
Forget Laettner and 1992. There have been many classics in this series. The "Goose" Jack Givens put 41 on Duke in the 1978 title game. To me that's bigger than 1992, but not as dramatic maybe.
Then in the 1998 NCAA South regional final, Kentucky trailed by 16 points with 9 minutes left to play and somehow clawed its way back to an 86-84 victory and a berth in the Final Four. That eventually led to title banner #7 for the Cats.
December 2001 wasn't quite as fun with Duke, but an incredible classic match-up nonetheless. The 2002 Jimmy V Classic showdown was played in East Rutherford, N.J. With Kentucky outplaying the Blue Devils for the better part of the second half, coach Krzyzewski pulled out all his starters. It worked too. Duke PG Jay Williams, who by his own admission to me personally wanted to come to Kentucky as his first choice, scored 38 points as the Blue Devils prevailed 95-92 in OT.
Here's one you never hear about.
Kentucky vs. Duke 1966 national semi-finals from College Park, Md.
Kentucky's No. 1 ranking was put to the test when it took on the No. 2 team in the nation, Duke, in the semi-finals of the National Collegiate basketball
Kentucky with an all-white starting five won 83-79 against Duke. That same team would play for the National Title, and lose to an all-black starting five in Texas Western.
Here's what I find interesting though. DUKE also had an all-white starting five that year. I wonder if the game would have been as racially-charged if Duke had played Texas Western?
In any case, I'm here in Africa and we've convinced the people running MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) to get up pre-dawn for us Big Blue Nation fans and turn on the big screen for about 200+ Wildcat fans. Go Cats!
Hi Mom, Bro and Sis, I love you all!
I love you Lindsay YAMWW, Kenadee and Trey!

With much anticipation, I would like to announce the launch of the GoGrid blog! What's a blog? Well, if you don't know by now, you probably should start taking some basic Internet 101 courses (Wikipedia is your friend). What is GoGrid? It's the latest product offering by ServePath. More about ServePath later. The focus here is on what YOU a GoGrid user or potential user can find here. First, if you haven't taken a tour of the GoGrid site, I heartily recommend that you take a peak at the "coming soon" site so that you can immerse yourself in the newest, ground-breaking hosting technology available to you (well, full immersion is only available currently to our exclusive private beta members). Our Creative team is hard a work on a new, enhanced version of the GoGrid site so be sure to bookmark it!
available beta blog coming communication competitor create deep discussions email gogrid going hope idea immerse later manager market months networking nurturing offering pertinent plan posts powers private product provide recommend servepath service site social start subscribe success sure taken technology throwing tied tools twitter unique user virtualized waters web work
created at TagCrowd.com
My goal in creating and managing the GoGrid blog is to provide you with pertinent and timely information about GoGrid, about Server and Hardware Virtualization, and about other technologies within this arena. In the coming months, I will be conducting interviews with some of our private beta users, offering tips and tricks on using the revolutionary GoGrid User Interface, and hopefully providing more insight into the magic that powers the service.
However, I will not be limiting articles to this alone. Far from it. And nor will I be the only voice here on the blog (Who am I anyway? More about me later). And this will not be the only "Web 2.0″ offering that I bring to the table; other tools and communication methods will be available. Also, I plan on throwing in some classic "Web 1.0″ offerings (like forums) and some other unique service that should make your experience more memorable, helpful and useful.
Setting up the blog is the first of many ways that I hope to begin communicating with you. But who are you? I want to know. In my mind you can be any (or all) of these:
- a sysadmin
- an IT manager
- a prospect
- a blogger
- an end user
- a curious passer-by
- an early adopter
- a competitor
- a press professional
- a research scientist
- an entrepreneur
- Who Are You?
You see where I'm going? The whole idea about Web 2.0 and the "Social Networking" thing is about communication and getting to know people, their thoughts, their ideas, their likes and dislikes. Sure, I'm going to do plenty of product discussions, many of them focused around GoGrid. But truly, to make this market (that of virtualized or grid-hosting) successful, you have to create a community. Communication is multi-directional (not just me spewing product specs and marketing mumbo-jumbo), and developing and nurturing a community through various means of communication is critical to the success of any social network. I want to hear from you!
Over the next few weeks, I will be enabling other social networking tools designed to help you test the waters of this community. If you like it, you can dive in the deep end, or, you can just stay in the shallow end. I just want you to get WET! You can immediately start tracking posts to this blog using Twitter. There is now a Twitter account tied to this blog (Twitter name is "GoGrid"). Also, it's easy to subscribe to RSS news feeds as well as email digests of posts and comments (if you are an "old school" email-person).
Again, welcome to GoGrid, the GoGrid blog and my efforts to create an engaging environment where discussions, idea exchanges and learning can take place!

What is the (II) beside copper of copper(II) hydroxide?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Copper (II) hydroxide is Cu(OH)2. It is also called cupric hydroxide. The Roman numeral II denotes the level of positive charge on the copper cation. Hydroxide (OH) always has a -1 charge, so the two of them are negated by the +2 charge on the copper to make a neutral compound. Copper as a transition metal can form two different cations, Cu+1 and Cu+2. The Roman numeral is used to distinguish between the two different possible cations. If we were talking about CuOH, then the chemical name would be copper (I) hydroxide to denote a +1 charge on the copper.

Three Amigos' menu full of Mexican favorites
BARBOURSVILLE — With a background in the electrical wiring business, Jimmy Chapman seems like an unlikely restaurateur.
Yet Chapman's first foray into the restaurant world has proven successful. In 2008 Chapman and his wife Rita acquired ownership of a Mexican restaurant, Three Amigos. The restaurant, formerly Porfirio's, was renamed in honor of Jimmy and Rita's three sons — Brad, Jimmy and Drew.
Upon taking over the restaurant, the Chapmans gave the restaurant an overhaul.
"We brought in a brand new menu, redid the carpet, fans and ceilings," Chapman said. "We repainted it and put in the Three Amigos logo. We also had to put in new lighting. We also redid the menu."
The small Barboursville restaurant known for its cantina bar and outdoor dining patio proved to be the winner of The Herald-Dispatch's "Best of the Tri-State" winning the award for best Mexican restaurant. Chapman feels that quality customer service is what put them over the top with The Herald-Dispatch readers.
"Service is very, very important anywhere you go," he said. "When you walk in you're seated, given chips and salsa and they take your drink order. I think the servers take excellent care of our people."
Chapman also takes pride in the quality of the restaurant's food.
"We buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and top-of-the-line beef," he said. "The quality of our food is as good as anyone's."
The restaurant has an outdoor dining area which sometimes features live music. Music is usually booked at least once a week on either Wednesdays or Thursdays and once a month on Saturdays. Music usually goes from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
One of the signature items on the menu is the California Burrito ($9.99) which has grilled chicken or beef, rice, beans lettuce and pico de gallo with cheese. There's also the Three Amigos Special ($13.99) featuring wings, cheese quesadillas, fajita chicken steak and shrimp served with queso dip. The restaurant's most famous dessert is the Cinnamon Tostada Ice Cream ($5.95) topped with cinnamon, honey, chocolate chips, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and pecans.
A few regular customers have had their names added to specials on the menu such as Especial Carolos ($6.75) which is a garden salad with grilled chicken.
"We have what we think is the best margarita in the area," Chapman said. "It's called the Julio Special and it has seven different types of tequila in it. We even have 'I survived the Julio' T-shirts."
Three Amigos is located at 3677 East U.S. 60 in Barboursville. It is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday. Saturday hours are from noon to 11 p.m. Cash and all major credit cards are accepted. For carry-out orders, catering options or more information, call 304-733-4222.

Why Buy From Us?
© 2015 Lovell Rugby
Astro and 3G rugby trainers have evolved considerably in recent years, often utilising the same innovations and technological advancements found in their soft ground equivalents to create an all-round high performance product.
To protect rugby pitches and provide an all-weather solution, many professional and amateur teams have opted to train on artificial surfaces.
Within the collection of Lovell Rugby Artificial Rugby Trainers, users will find all the leading brands represented with an array of styles and features, suitable for all abilities and sizes, from infant through to adult. Adidas, Nike, Puma, Hummel, Mizuno, Umbro and Valsport each bring their own differentials to the game with significant focus on comfort and stability for use on the often unforgiving artificial surface.
Traditionally artificial rugby trainers are characterised by their sole, a moulded one-piece design with different patterns depending on the brand. Just like a rugby boot, each brand showcases their own innovative design aimed at improving player traction for enhanced speed, maneuverability and general performance. Much of this is simply down to preference as it is the outer layer materials which are making significant overhauls to create lighter and more flexible rugby trainers for greater comfort. The Nike Mercurial Glide TF rugby trainers offer soft, supple teijin synthetic leather for supreme ball feel with added Vapor Traction whereas the Adidas Mundial Team Astro benefits from super soft kangaroo leather for unrivaled comfort. Likewise the Mizuno Ignitus AS rugby trainer features a speed panel for lethal precision compared to the Puma Esito Final kids rugby trainer which is a classic imitation of the popular Puma King model.
As part of this extensive collection of rugby trainers, the Adidas F10 TRX FG series offers a slightly different approach by incorporating moulded blades onto their footwear. This is aimed at enhancing the player experience by improving traction and comfort across a firm playing surface, through the use of Adidas's own TPU outsole plate with a modified Traxion stud layout.
Many artificial rugby trainers are now also multi-purpose, ideal for indoor play due to their non-marking soles making them a versatile choice for any firm surface. Whatever your choice though, comfort should be the most important factor when considering any artificial rugby trainers as with good care they will form an essential part of your footwear armory.
Take advantage of having your firm astro/ 3G rugby trainers personalised, free of charge, at the time of order.

Michael Sigman: Isn't it precisely the job of political, financial and religious leaders to imagine disasters and then prepare for them? (Plausible ones, that is, as opposed to, say, anti-asteroid Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher's crusade for funds to combat "objects coming from space that could cause colossal loss of lives on our planet.") And if their imaginations fail them, and us, shouldn't they be held accountable — morally and, when appropriate, criminally?
Half Measures and Lukewarm "Reform" Won't Save the Middle Class
The 30-year class war the rich launched against the working people in this country (and reached its apogee during the George W. Bush years), has left the middle class reeling and wounded. Only bold federal action that puts something concrete in the palms of middle-class Americans can begin to turn these dire social conditions around.

Jan 23, 2013, Israel: Year Zero
Netanyahu and King Abdullah II Met During Christmas
New in the Website
Bibi I, King of Israel
Israeli polls are infamous for their inexactitude since denizens purposely tamper with the results according to their political targets. "Let's weaken Likud in polls, so that people will pity Netanyahu and vote for him," is the typical attitude. Yet, in the last days of 2012, all the polls show that Netanyahu leads, though the Netanyahu-Lieberman list (Likud Beiteinu) will gain less votes than what they have now. It doesn't matter; it will emerge as the largest party in the next Knesset with Labor second. Ehud Barak is out. Kadima—Ariel Sharon's party—is about to crash thanks to the sabotage of Tzipi Livni, who is about to lead a medium sized party (see Israel Former FM Hands Victory to Netanyahu). The polls reproduced below show that Benjamin Netanyahu will be almost for sure Israel's next Prime Minister. Avigdor Lieberman—who just resigned as Minister of Foreign Affairs—is likely to become the next Minister of Defense. Their coalition will include the Haredi parties—Shas and United Torah Judaism—and the settler party HaBayit Hayehudi. According to the polls, this will be enough to give Netanyahu a stable majority. However, other parties may join. As of now it looks as if Netanyahu will have no problem in strengthening his next government in comparison with the current one.
In the days following the elections, Netanyahu is likely to present a new government which will be more stable than the current one, with a Minister of Defense who is more extremist than Netanyahu himself. For the first time in years, Netanyahu will be able to follow Likud policies without any substantial domestic opposition. Knowing this, Netanyahu took a break from his campaign, took a 40 minutes flight to Amman, and over a cup of coffee, discussed war with King Abdullah II.
The Israeli newspaper went as far as publishing a map of the proposed war; it is reproduced above. Netanyahu proposed a Blitzkrieg-style attack on Syria, targeting sites producing and storing chemical weapons. Such an operation would be complicated. The storage conditions imply massive and continued attacks capable of destroying outer defenses and inner bunkers. The attacks will lead to the spillage of dangerous chemicals and almost for sure the death of thousands living in the immediate vicinity. This is the reason why Netanyahu wanted the cooperation of King Abdullah; two of the sites are next to the Jordanian border and may cause massive damage and deaths within Jordan.
Netanyahu proposed two scenarios. The first was an air attack, which will lead to massive damage that cannot be predicted exactly. The second one was the deployment of an IDF division within Syria; the unit will attempt to take control of the sites. Considering that the sites are spread out in several locations, this mean that the chosen unit must be airborne; in other words, Netanyahu wants to deploy the IDF Vertical Bypass division in Syria. Considering the specific methods of action of this unit it is safe to assume that such an event will deteriorate immediately into a full war between the countries.
Reading this delusional plan, I remembered Cambodia. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, violently took control of the country, declaring Year Zero. All culture and traditions were rejected; a new revolutionary culture was to replace the past, starting from scratch. This is pretty much what Israel has done; in the kibbutz where I grew up, the dogma was the creation of a new Jewish man. Israel is close to achieve the point Cambodia was in back then. Nobody in the world cared about Pol Pot's mass assassinations as nobody cares now about the Israeli crimes. Israel was defined as "inflicting terror" by the UN Human Rights Council in 2009; since then no country has taken practical steps to stop this terror. Pol Pot could have continued his reign of terror; however, he made a critical mistake. He attacked Vietnam, a country that shortly before had the defeated what was considered the mightiest empire on earth, the USA. By Year Four, the ruthless "Year Zero" regime was defeated. On January 23, 2013, Israel may begin its own version of Year Zero.
