Fulcrum is a pioneer in the development of a reliable and efficient process for transforming everyday household garbage into low-carbon transportation fuels including jet fuel and diesel. Our low-cost process will reduce our dependence on imported oil, create new clean energy jobs and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional petroleum production.
Our plan also makes great sense when thinking about the world's challenges in disposing of garbage. Simply put, we can make a difference. Utilizing Fulcrum's process, we have the ability to convert the garbage generated by more than one million people into 30 million gallons per year of clean renewable fuel. We are developing a number of facilities across North America with the annual capacity to produce hundreds of millions of gallons of renewable transportation fuel while eliminating trash landfilled annually across North America.
Our Process
Our demonstrated process will turn ordinary household garbage into clean jet fuel and diesel.

Crossroads Music Company and Listening Room on Saturday made a great debut with its City Hall Series, as Americana artist Slaid Cleaves played to a sold-out house in the beautiful newly-renovated city council chambers.
With high ceilings and a lot of glass in the room, clean, clear acoustics were a concern, but Brad Davis, a Grammy-award winning musician, and Tom Glossup handled the sound board with seeming ease.
"Brad is a good friend who showed up to help us with this first show," said Gus Gustafson, owner of Crossroads. Joey Baker, director of tourism for the City of Sulphur Springs and an expert sound man, also offered some tips to Gustafson earlier in the week.
"I thought the sound for the concert was outstanding," said local musician Loren Seely, who also operates a recording studio. "Having a sound person like Brad Davis was a great choice to get it right the first time. Vocals and acoustic instruments were spot on."
It would be hard to think of a better performer to christen the room. Although he's not a chart-topping artist, Cleaves is one of the most respected singer/songwriters on the listening room circuit.
"My audience is very polite and a good listening audience 99 percent of the time," he said in a News-Telegram interview in June. "I like not having to play above the pool tables anymore."
In fact, the only thing that didn't work perfectly Saturday night was the air conditioning. Gustafson, a community development specialist for Sulphur Springs, promises the issue will be worked out before the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Bluegrass Band show next month.
Cleaves always knew he wanted to be a singer and moved from his home in Maine to Austin in 1991 to follow his dream.
In 1992, he was a winner of the prestigious New Folk competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival, an award previously given to such artists as Nanci Griffith, Robert Earl Keen and Steve Earle, according to Wikipedia.
"I am very much a fan of Texas musicians such as Guy Clark and Townes Van Zant and cannot believe I overlooked Slaid Cleaves before," Seely said. "The depth of his music and words reminded me very much of them."
Cleaves has released 13 albums and is currently on tour until October, including more than 30 shows in Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maine.
He has a loyal and devoted fan base. Some drove from the metroplex to see the talented singer/songwriter.
"Our daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and Bob Hanley, came from their home in Dallas when they heard Slaid Cleaves would be in Sulphur Springs," said Carol Gee. "They had seen him a few years ago at a music festival in Cherokee put on by Kelcy Warren (the park in Dallas is named after his son, Klyde). They loved him then, and they loved him Saturday night."
Cleaves opened with "Horseshoe Lounge," an ode to one of Austin's good-time landmarks. The audience gave Cleaves a rousing ovation for the tune, a song immediately associated with him – his own "Margaritaville."
"I've been doing this for 19 years now," he told the audience. "It's nice to have songs people know."
On his live record "Sorrow and Smoke," Cleaves says it took him "many years of driving by the Horseshoe Lounge before I worked up the courage to come in through the door."
For Saturday's show, Cleaves brought along popular Austin producer and studio artist Scrappy Jud Newcomb, who played a mean baritone guitar and provided solid back-up vocals.
"Scrappy wowed the crowd with his talent," Gee said. "My husband, Tim, thought he bore a remarkable resemblance to Bob Dylan. Sarah said she is not a huge fan of long guitar riffs, but in each one he played, his talent was evident."
Newcomb produced Cleaves' record "Still Fighting the War."
When Cleaves performed the title number from the record, released in 2013, the room got completely silent.
"Cleaves' music and his words will touch deep within the soul of any person who has ever experienced combat," said Vietnam veteran Trice Lawrence. "He understands the experience of 'falling through the looking glass,' and being inexorably and irrevocably changed."
The audience was treated to a performance of "Breakfast in Hell," Cleaves' retelling of the tragic story about Canadian lumberjack Sandy Gray and the log jam that was his undoing.
The tune included a successful audience participation section. We were charged with making lumberjack/working gang noises and we did it quite well.
Also included in the set list were "Lydia," "Drinkin' Days," "I'll Bet She Does," "One Good Year," "Rust Belt Fields" and the hilarious "Horses and Divorces."
He paid tribute to yodeling legend Don Wasler – The Pavarotti of the Plains – with "Texas Top Hand" and "God's Own Yodeler."
Wasler befriended Cleaves when he moved from Maine to Austin back in 1991 and the two remained close until Wasler's death in 2006.
From the reaction of the attentive audience, Cleaves made a lot of new fans during the evening.
"Our family and everyone I talked to who was in attendance loved the show," Gee commented. "In addition to being a talented musician, Slaid is a talented songwriter who paints a picture with each story. His vignettes took the audience from his childhood, to his move to Austin and then on the road. He showed a real passion for both music and the friends he has made along the way."
Cleaves closed the show with "One Good Year," a man's plea for a break.
. . . Just give me one good year
To get my feet back on the ground
I've been chasing grace
But grace ain't so easily found
The tune shows Cleaves at his best, singing songs of the common man, who is not perfect, but still struggling to make his way.
For the encore, Cleaves and Newcomb unplugged and offered up an acoustic version of "This Morning I Was Born Again," with lyrics written by Woody Guthrie, whose birthday was June 14.
Guthrie had never published music to go with the lyrics, so Cleaves put a tune with the words and performed it for a couple of years before he received approval from Guthrie's family.
"It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission," he quipped.
. . . I feel the sun upon me, its rays crawl through my skin
I breathe the life of Jesus and old John Henry in
I give myself, my heart, my soul to give some friend a hand
This morning I was born again, I am in the Promised Land
Cleaves and Newcomb walked up the center aisle, singing Guthrie's powerful words, taking the audience to church. It was a pitch perfect ending to the true listening room experience.
"It's obvious that Sulphur Springs has embraced the concept of listening room and Crossroads' new home," Gustafson said. "Slaid says he wants to come back, so we'll have to make Sulphur Springs a regular stop on his tour."
The next City Hall Series concert, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, features Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Bluegrass Band. Visit www.crossroadsmusiccompany.com for ticket information. Act quickly, as the council chambers only seats 100 and the show should sell out in a hurry.

Social Networking Easy Picking to be discussed at TriCities InfraGardFebruary 8 | Posted by scheuchr | Chapter News
Many people have paid the price after being the victim of cyber crime at different social media platforms. Many people even terminate and deactivate their social media account after such bad experiences. It is not the solution to deactivate or terminate the account when we can minimize the risk of cyber attack on our social media profiles by following some easy principles.
Following the InfraGard Members Only meeting in January, social media "Smart Cards" produced by the FBI were sent out via email. The goal of the cards is to provide some social networking Do's and Don'ts to minimize the threat of cyber attack or cyber crime by awareness and consciousness while ensuring the security of your personal data with a very minimal effort.
Jonathon Underwood, a cyber security professional at ORNL, gave a presentation at that meeting demonstrating how easy it is to gleam information from social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn. He did it with no cyber tools or sleight of hand.
Jonathon has agreed to bring his show-and-tell presentation to the TriCities InfraGard meeting which will be on Thursday, February 21, in the Forum Room in the D. P. Culp Center on the main campus of East Tennessee State University. The meeting will begin at 5:30 PM.
Jonathan Underwood is a cyber security professional specializing in protecting information and information systems from both internal and external threats. He has a background that includes network engineering, software development, and cyber security. In addition to these technical aspects, Jonathan has studied the human component of the insider threat and shares his expertise across organizations and agencies at local, regional, and national levels. Jonathan is a 2003 graduate of East Tennessee State University.
Please mark your calendar and plan to attend this informative session. This meeting is open to InfraGard members and guests. Bring someone with you.
If you have any questions about the meeting or InfraGard in general, please contact Richard Scheuch at 423-439-5356 or email@example.com.

There has been a lot of talk about immigration reform, but a forgotten segment of that population is the legal immigrants, like my parents, who paid taxes and lived a fruitful life.
Any path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants should require the following provisions:
1. They must pay any past taxes, or all legal immigrants should be refunded the many taxes they paid.
2. They must be held responsible and pay a fine for being here against the law. Or are we to the point that we only obey the laws with which we agree?
3. They must learn English. My parents struggled with English all of their lives, but they learned it well enough to function in our society. The English as a second language program in schools is just a crutch that merely delays the need to learn English; it should be ended.
4. They should go to the end of the line of immigrants waiting to obtain U.S. citizenship. They should not be allowed citizenship before someone who follows the required and legal path.
Those illegal immigrants who disagree with these provisions don't want reform, they want amnesty.

The weather is finally starting to turn warmer and spring is in the air. Many people are looking forward to doing some fishing and trying to rid themselves of cabin fever.
While spring is a fine time to do some fishing, with the arrival of spring also comes the time of year that turkey hunters have looked forward to since the distant gobbles of last spring.
By Lee McClellan
It's the mouth that gets you.
You hook a huge largemouth bass and all you can see is a giant, angry shaking mouth.
The size of the mouth lets you know this bass is one of the top ones you've ever hooked. You realize the giant, gaping shaking bucket with your lure impaled in it is the biggest you've seen. This can cause dry mouth, uncontrollable shaking and panic.
A popular fishing access to Elkhorn Creek in Franklin County is closing indefinitely due to the start of a major expansion project at Pfeiffer Fish Hatchery, according to a news release.
Walk-in access to the creek from the hatchery grounds will close due to heavy construction equipment being moved onto the property for the start of a $5 million expansion project. Public tours of the hatchery, which is located off Indian Gap Road in northern Franklin County, have been suspended.
Anderson County pitching dominated Richmond Model as the Bearcats took a 7-1 win at Barnes Memorial Field last Monday.
"We had a predetermined rotation set up in order to insure our guys got work and to also help set ourselves up for a week of baseball during spring break," Anderson coach L. W. Barnes said. "(Steven) Watts got the start and finished the first two innings—five K's, two walks and one hit. When he was around the zone, he was dominant, but in the second inning he was a little erratic.
College sports roundup
Turpin named MSC Pitcher of the Week
Anderson County resident Courtney Turpin had a big week for Campbellsville University's softball team last week, earning the Mid-South Conference Pitcher of the Week honor.
Turpin got both wins for the Tigers, taking a 4-2 complete game decision, then coming on in relief to get the victory in game two.
Turpin totaled three wins in four decisions and picked up a save last week.
Anderson County High School senior Sydney Brown has been invited to tryouts for the Kentucky All-Stars girls' basketball team that will play the Indiana stars in the two-game summer series.
A 6-foot-1 center, Brown averaged 7.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per game last season. She hit on 56.5 percent of her field goal attempts.
No Anderson County girl has ever made the Kentucky All-Star team.
The return trip to Bowling Green has already been in the planning stages, but begins in earnest next week.
The Anderson County football team will start working in earnest toward a return to the state championship game when they open spring practice on Monday, April 9. The Bearcats will be allowed 10 practices in 15 school days as they work on plugging holes and finding new players in different roles for the 2012 season.
Rod Martin was never a star football player at Anderson County High School but, somehow he's become one of the best at what he does in the National Football League.
"I was on the football and baseball teams and Dutch Ishmael was our coach. I didn't play much, but the experience was priceless," Martin said from Oakland, Cal., where he is the head athletic trainer for the Oakland Raiders.
A 1970 graduate of Anderson, Martin received the Fain-Cain Memorial Award, given to the Outstanding NFL Trainer of the Year by the NFL Physicians Society.
It was an epic, that little Commonwealth Confrontation on Saturday. No doubt about that.
It was a show worthy of the Final Four. A symphony directed by a pair of master conductors. And if there was any disappointment in that battle between Kentucky and Louisville on Saturday, then that person is just impossible to please.
Or, perhaps a Cardinal fan who saw his team's season come to an end at the hands of the team it wants to beat the most.
Some photos shared by our readers who traveled to New Orleans for the Final Four. Check back often as we will post more photos if submitted.

Welcome to Monday's Morning Mashup. For the latest news, start at our WEEI.com home page [1] or click here for the top stories from our news wire [2].
NFL: Eagles at Saints, 8:30 p.m. (ESPN; WEEI-FM)
NBA: Timberwolves [3] at Nets, 7:30 p.m. (NBA TV)
Premier League [4] Soccer: Southampton at West Bromwich Albion, 3 p.m. (ESPN2)
'¦ The surprising Colts are 5-3 after Sunday's win over the Dolphins [5], and the fact that they're doing so well while their coach is off battling leukemia is even more impressive.
Chuck Pagano, weakened by chemotherapy treatment, paid a visit to the locker room after Sunday's game and delivered an emotional pep talk [6].
"As I mentioned before the game, you guys are living a vision, not circumstances," Pagano told the players [7]. "Because you know where [the prognosticators] had us in the beginning, every last one of them, but you refused to live in circumstances. And you decided consciously as a team, as a family, to living a vision. And that's why you bring things home the way you brought it home today. That's why you're champions, and well on your way.
"I've got circumstances. I understand it. You understand it. It's already beat. '¦ My vision, I'm living to see two more daughters get married, dance at their weddings and hoist the Lombardi Trophy several times."
'¦ Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams [8] helped his team to a victory in Washington on Sunday, and he explained that part of Carolina's motivation was Washington's decision to make the contest a "homecoming" game [9], welcoming back 150 former players and wearing throwback uniforms.
"That was definitely motivating," Williams said. "I mean, you don't say you're going to have a homecoming in the National Football League [10]. I mean, you do it in college. It's [against] one of those teams that's just terrible. You don't book a good team for homecoming. '¦ I don't know if they had a dance or anything; I just know you don't give a team extra motivation by putting that on your program, just blatantly coming out and saying, 'You're our homecoming game.' "
Added Williams later on Twitter: I've never been more insulted in the nil until today!
'¦ The New York City Marathon [11] was canceled due to the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, but that did not deter thousands of runners [12], who showed up Sunday morning in Central Park to run an adjusted version of the 26.2-mile race.
"A lot of people just wanted to finish what they started," explained Lance Svendsen, who organized an alternative marathon called Run Anyway that drew about 600 participants.
Meanwhile, other would-be marathoners took a ferry to Staten Island to help people in the neighborhoods that suffered the most damage.
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA: On Nov. 5, 1946, the newly founded Celtics [13] played their first-ever home game, which was delayed after which player damaged the backboard during warmups?
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "We had a series of meetings over the course of the day and had a good, frank discussion on the most important issues separating us. We plan to meet again early in the week." — NHL [14] deputy commissioner Bill Daly, referring to a secret bargaining session [15] with a players' association representative over the weekend and giving hope that the lockout will soon see an end
STAT OF THE DAY: 433 — Yards passing for Colts quarterback Andrew Luck [16] in Sunday's win over the Dolphins [5], breaking Cam Newton [17]'s NFL singe-game record for passing yards by a rookie
'NET RESULTS: In case you missed this from Saturday's Celtics game, here's Rajon Rondo [18] with an amazing one-handed follow shot after his initial jumper was rejected.
During a Texas high school football game, Sharyland's Sean Landez reached over the end line to catch a missed field and returns it 110 yards for a touchdown against Edinburg North.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Chuck Connors, who went on to star on TV's "The Rifleman"
SOOTHING SOUNDS: Peter Noone, former lead singer of Herman's Hermits, was born on this day in 1947.

Everyone,As you have probably heard by now, long-time ROC member Dave Eckhart passed away earlier this year, on April 3, 2012.
At ROCstock this past weekend, his family asked me to pass along the following information about his memorial service to the ROC membership, so that Dave's many friends would be able to attend.
Dave's memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 24th, 2012, at 3:00 PM, at the Florence Avenue Foursquare Church in Santa Fe Springs. The address is:
Florence Avenue Foursquare Church 11457 Florence Avenue Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670For more information, please contact Dave's son-in-law, Frank, at 480-254-4381.
Dave was a great man, a friend to everyone he met, one heck of a rocketeer, and he is sincerely missed by everyone who ever knew him. I encourage everyone to come to the service, and show his family how much we all loved Dave, and miss him.
I know that I, personally, think of him and his Little Tykes basketball and tire toy-box rockets fondly every time I see any odd-rock. He was an inspiration. We'll all miss you, Dave!
Thanks, - Rick Dickinson -- ROC-Chat mailing list roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.freelists.org/list/roc-chat

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/3/2013 (1582 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LONDON - Britain's High Court says the mayor of London acted lawfully when he banned bus ads from a Christian group suggesting that homosexuality can be cured.
A Christian charity had challenged mayor Boris Johnson's decision, as chair of London's transport authority, to ban ads declaring: "Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it."
Judge Beverley Lang said Friday that Transport for London had breached its own guidelines when it approved the ban. But she said this was outweighed by factors against running the ad, which would cause "grave offence" to many people and increase "the risk of prejudice and homophobic attacks."
The judge gave the charity, Core Issues Trust, permission to appeal. She said the case raised freedom of speech issues that were of "fundamental importance."

" Imperial Gate St, Mary's Street Cardiff CF10 1FA. Tel:0871 984 6224 "
Myself and my girlfriend stayed at the Cardiff Central Travelodge for 2 nights during one of the busiest weekends of the year - Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd December 2012. We were visiting the area for some friend's Wedding in nearby Penarth (about 4 miles away).
The hotel has a fantastic location in the heart of the city. The area is very popular with hotel companies, with many of the big names located within about a 400m radius. The Cardiff Central Travelodge is probably the least spectacular of the buildings, as it looks as though it has been converted into a hotel. The hotel sits upstairs of a Walkabout bar/club, so the street was very lively on our arrival on Friday evening, with many people out celebrating Christmas parties or the end of work for the year.
Check in was fairly straight forward, I provided my name and address and was handed a key card which was required to access the lobby with lifts and stairs and then once again to enter our room, which was located at the rear of the building on the 1st floor.
Our room was located down a higgledy corridor which seemed a bit run down, but we eventually went through another set of doors and it looked like your traditional hotel corridor again. On first inspection our room seemed OK, with a lovely view of the quaint looking Cardiff Central train station (About 2 minutes walk). We had tea and coffee making facilities, a nice clean bathroom and fresh bedsheets with 1 pillow each. I wanted an extra pillow each, as I really struggle with 1 pillow, which I'm sure most people would. We delayed the order of extra pillows until we passed through reception on our way out later in the evening.
We decided to have a cup of coffee, but was a bit disappointed to discover the cups and tea spoon were sticky and smelt like coffee. Either the cleaner had just rinsed them quickly under the tap or their dishwasher is rubbish. It wasn't a big deal for us, but it's not really acceptable at all is it?
On our way out of the hotel on the Friday evening, we requested 2 extra pillows, but the man on reception said they had a shortage due to some large numbers in the family rooms. Again, I wasn't too bothered, but once again it is simply unacceptable for a hotel to run out of pillows. Their fundamental purpose is to provide a good nights sleep and they were unable to provide us with 2 pillows each.
There was a restaurant/breakfast room on the 1st floor, which I popped my head in. It looked a little dated, but the chef was friendly and said Hello. Cannot comment on the food as we chose to have a McDonalds breakfast which was located 400m up the road.
Our 1st night in the hotel was poor, being above a Walkabout bar, we thought we had fell lucky with being given a room to the rear. However, we were so wrong! Every 30 minutes or so, we were woken by the clattering of glass bottles from the bar being emptied into a bin at the rear, right below our room. Later in the night/very early morning, a delivery lorry was reversing in the street at the rear of the hotel, which once again woke us up. I was quite tired the next day, but following the wedding on the Saturday night and following a good amount of ale, I slept very well and didn't wake once! The solution to a good nights sleep I guess!
Check Out
Check out consisted of dropping our key through a letterbox and we were done.
A good hotel if your going to be drinking in the nearby bars. If not, I strongly suggest you ask for a room on a higher level (floor 2 or above) as hopefully the noise will have dissipated by the time it reaches your windows!
This will be my last review (I promise) on Cardiff. Well until I go down again. As you probably all know if you have read previous reviews that I was recently down in Cardiff for my hen weekend and I had such a great time I thought I would review what I could about it in case anyone else is planning a trip down there.
We decided due to it being a hen weekend and everyone was on a tight(ish) budget that we would book a hotel in the centre of Cardiff to cut costs on taxis and trains etc. We also decided that we would book somewhere a bit cheaper as we wouldn't be in the room much and just use it for sleeping each night.
We came across the Travelodge website whilst searching and many of us had stayed at Travelodge's across the country before so we all knew what to expect from the hotels. Sometimes I feel I can trust to go to a budget hotel more so than private hotels as you know what to expect whereas with a private hotel you've never been to it can be a huge disappointment for twice the price.
There was 4 Travelodge's in Cardiff to choose from which was a choice between Cardiff Central which we thought would be noisy due to it being on the same road as most of the nightlife, Cardiff Atlantic Wharf which was located down in Cardiff Bay which is a lot quieter than the centre and I would probably choose this one if I was on a family break. There was two other Travelodge's that were further out from Cardiff so we riled them out before looking into them.
So we decided on Cardiff Central, we were a bit nervous about how noisy our room would be with the nightlife right outside the building but I was happy to stay there knowing it was only for 2 nights.
We booked online and we were happy to see that you could book up to 3 adults in each room which really cut the costs for us as there was 5 of us going so it meant we had one room with 3 in it and the other with 2. I thought there might be an extra charge for this as I know Holiday Inn charge an extra £10 per night for more than two adults in a room.
The hotel is located on St Mary's Street. This is a 2 minute walk from the Central Train Station and the bus station so it was great to be able just to walk to the hotel and drop off all our bags and head out again without anymore travelling.
It does state on the website that rooms are from £55.00 per night but for the weekend we went it cost us £60 for the Friday night and then £64 for the Saturday night. I still thought the prices were very reasonable.
Extras whilst booking hotel
Whilst booking online you can choose to add breakfast and dinner to your booking at an extra charge. To be honest with being in the centre with plenty restaurants about I would find somewhere else to get your meals.
Breakfast is charged at £5.99 which is quite high compared to Wetherspoons a couple of doors along priced at £2.85 for a fully cooked breakfast.
Dinner is charged at £6.00 for a two course meal which is actually a really good price but it is a bar café meal so you might just end up with a snack for dinner, it wasn't really for me.
The other extras are early check in prices and late checkout prices which is £10 per room for each. I suppose if you have a really early flight arrival and need in the room before hand then early check in would be good as you get to book in at 12 midday instead of 3pm. Or if you want a lie in then you can check out between 12 midday - 2pm. We didn't bother with this as we were checking in late and leaving early for a flight.
SMS confirmation - for a small charge of 15p you can get a text sent to your mobile with all the booking details, this would save you printing out the confirmations and then having to search for them when you arrive at the hotel. From past experience in a Travelodge I knew we wouldn't need the confirmation as they can bring your details up with your surname which is easy enough.
Pets - remember to specify if you are taking pets with you at the time of booking. If you turn up with pets without prior consent from the hotel you maybe refused entry to the hotel. There can also be an extra charge for pets but I actually think it's worth it as there's not many hotels you can take pets with you.
Arriving at the Hotel
Whilst pulling in at Cardiff Central Station it would be hard to miss the Travelodge with a huge sign on the side of the building, makes it easy for you not to get lost if you've never been here before.
It took us 2 minutes to walk to the hotel from the Station and I was surprised to see that from the front there was only a small entrance to the hotel so from looking at it maybe the hotel wouldn't be loud at night as there didn't seem to be any rooms facing onto the busy street.
Checking In
We walked into the hotel and we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who took all our details to check us in, as I thought we didn't need our confirmation and just asked for the surname the rooms were booked under.
The reception area was quite small and with all 5 of us booking in the reception area looked really busy. There was also 3 vending machines with chocolate, ice creams, juice and other items including toothpaste and sewing kits. I was surprised about the toiletries as usually the hotels supply these free of charge if you ask for them.
There was also a computer for internet access and a payphone. If we were here for work then maybe we would need to use this but we never tried it so unfortunately I can't comment on costs for this.
The check in was a quick process as we had pain for the rooms when we booked them online as far as I'm aware it's the only way you can book rooms for a Travelodge now, before they used to just take an authorisation of your card but now they take the full payment.
We weren't give any information about where the bar was in the hotel and I'm assuming that's due to us not booking in for the breakfast or the dinner.
We were given our key cards for each room and noticed that our rooms hadn't been put anywhere near each other in fact they were on two separate floors. I was actually really disappointed by this and we asked if we could get rooms at least on the same floor but they said they couldn't do this.
The stay
So we had checked in and we went off to the rooms. We hadn't been told how to get to the rooms which you normally are told but it was pretty self explanatory once you get through the security door (which you have to use your key card in) to gain access to the lift. There is also stairs right next to the lift so if you're feeling fit then you can just climb the stairs which is probably quicker than waiting for the lift.
Once we got to our floor we had to work out which way our room was as the numbers went off in different ways but again it's self explanatory and we went straight to our room.
You have to use your key card every tome you want into the room so make sure you don't leave the room without it.
The room itself was a nice size and had one double bed and a single bed. There was also room to hang up some clothes with only 4 hangers which for 3 females sharing a room wasn't enough for us.
As there is with every room there was a kettle with teas and coffees and a small tv. This is where the first problem lay for the three of us in the room they had only put enough cups in for two people, we looked around and noticed there was the same problem with towels again they only had a bath and hand towel for two people.
We discussed it and decided we would call down to reception to arrange for them to send up an extra cup and towels..... Erm where's the phone? Unfortunately there wasn't a phone so we couldn't call reception. So we decided we would do this once we passed reception on our way out.
The room was a standard Travelodge room and was clean enough, when we opened the curtains to let in some light and have a wee nosey to see if we could see what the street was like. To our delight we had been given a room at the back of the hotel so there was no noise and we could have our window open so the room wasn't so stuffy without being woken in the middle of the night.
I then went into the bathroom to freshen up before heading out and I notice there was a bath as well as a shower, I thought this was great that they had both as usually they just have a shower.
So far the room was average but good for the money. Off we went to go out for the evening and we stopped at reception to ask about extra towels, we were told that we would need to wait until the cleaning staff came round the following day. Slightly unhelpful as it meant not all of us could have a shower in the morning.
The Next Day
In the morning we all decided that one pillow wasn't enough and everyone had a pretty bad sleep so whilst requesting towels and cups we asked for an extra pillow for each of us. Finally we would have everything in the room we needed for our final night.
We spent the whole day in Barry and when we returned about 5pm the cleaning staff had been in the room. There was one extra pillow instead of one for each of us so I texted the girls and asked them to get one from reception as they were still out shopping while I returned to sleep due to a really late night the night before and a bad hangover. Thankfully they had given us extra towels but no extra cups.
That night we had a better night sleep with two pillows each and I would say that the rooms were really quiet with absolutely no noise from the hallways or outside at all which was great.
Checking Out
So it's home time and we're all feeling pretty down about having to head home. We had left the room as clean as we found it and went down to the reception area. There was no staff on so we just had to drop the keys in the box and leave. Easiest check out I've ever had, it was great to not have the hassle of paying.
I did have a great weekend and even though there were a couple of problems you do get what you pay for. The staff were all really friendly and I couldn't actually fault them for anything.
The rooms were basic but just what we needed for our weekend and I knew what to expect before I arrived. As for location you really couldn't have got anywhere closer to the train station and also close enough to the night life.
I do recommend this for anyone going for a trip away with friends but I don't know how suited it would be for families.

Olive Drab T-Shirts
Wholesale Olive Drab T-Shirts
Olive drab is the color olive shaded toward a greener color. Olive drab color is still used by the U.S. military to this day to color webbing and accessories. The military refers to the color as Olive Green 107, or more commonly OG 107. There are very few countries still issuing uni-color Olive Drab uniforms, Israel, India and Austria being the exceptions. Olive drab was the color of the standard fighting uniform for U.S. GIs and military vehicles during World War II. U.S. soldiers often referred to their uniforms as "OD's" due to the color. The color used at the beginning of the war by the U.S. Army was officially called Olive Drab #3, which was replaced by the darker Olive Drab #7 by 1944, and which was again replaced by Olive Green 107 or OG-107 sometime in the 1950s and continued as the official uniform color for combat fatigues through the Vietnam War. The color is defined by the US Federal Government as as FS 14087 and having the RGB hex code 3C341F (decimal 60, 52, 31). Olive drab shirts are great for everyday wear, work out clothing, costuems, and much more. Olive Drab T-Shirts are also known as stock military tees, olive green Unite States Marines Corps t shirts, vintage air force drab t-shirts, army stock clothes, etc. Oive Drab T-Shirts are commonly misspelled as od tshirts, etc.

Retirement Announcement for Diane Mutal
After 36 years of outstanding service to UNLV, Diane Muntal, Director of Institutional Reporting in the Office of Decision Support, is retiring. Her last day on campus will be June 4, 2014.
Diane will be missed for many reasons, most notably for her daily work supporting her UNLV colleagues in their efforts to meet the mission of the university. There will be a reception in her honor on Thursday, May 8th from 2:00PM to 4:00PM in SU 208C.
Beginning her career at UNLV as a graduate student in French Language and Literature, Diane taught French for the department of Foreign Languages before joining the Office of Institutional Analysis and Planning in 1980. One of only two employees in the office for many years, Diane was instrumental in developing the Office as a reliable and widely respected information resource. She created the first database of professionals, faculty, and part-time instructors at UNLV, thereby providing administrators with access to this information reliably and consistently for the first time. As editor and lead contributor for 26 years, Diane developed UNLV's fact book, Selected Institutional Characteristics, into the most reliable source of trend data and information for planning, budgeting, accreditation, program review and policy development. These reports and the underlying data definitions served as a framework for future automation of reporting at UNLV, including website design and data warehouse development. The direct point of contact for many department chairs, faculty, administrators, and office managers, Diane provided consultative and reporting assistance for accreditation self-studies, national rankings surveys, and an increasingly diverse set of System, state and federal accountability requirements. As the institution grew larger and more complex, Diane developed her skills to keep pace with the growing demand for information. She enjoyed sharing her expertise with colleagues, and provided training to individuals both within and outside of the office. She provided formal instruction on office applications such as DataNet, Student Tracker, and more recently, UNLV's first integrated data warehouse and business intelligence tool, MyUNLV Analytics.
Widely recognized for her understanding and concern for issues affecting faculty and staff, Diane served the Faculty Senate as senator, chair of the Salary and Benefits Committee and the NSHE Joint Compensation Committee. She was appointed chair of President's Ad Hoc Health Plan Study Committee, conducting the first university-wide study on the impact of health plan changes on faculty and staff. More recently, Diane served on the Differential Tuition Advisory Group, Minority Serving Institution Task Force, and Academic Assessment Committee.
A two-time alumnus of UNLV, Diane is a valued member of the Association for Institutional Research, both as a presenter and in her service on professional committees. In addition to her contributions as a presenter, she served as president and treasurer for the Rocky Mountain Association for Institutional Research, co-chairing two very successful local conferences that highlighted the talents of our students and faculty in the College of Hotel Administration.
Please join the staff in the Office of Decision Support and the Provost's Office on Thursday, May 8th from 2:00PM to 4:00PM in SU 208C on May 8th, as we honor Diane for her many accomplishments and dedicated service to UNLV.

text: ISLAMABAD - Former Pakistan Captain Wasim Akram has said that national cricket team can grab the victory in final of Asia cup by handling the spinners well. Talking to a Private news channel, former pacer said the team is in high spirits to defend their title in Asia cup final against Sri Lanka on March 8.He said that the Pakistan team is playing with perfect combination and all they need to do is to tackle the Sri Lankan spinners especially Ajanta Mendis. He added that by watching the videos of Mendis, his fingers movements and body language Pakistani batters can prepare well to play him. He said that at the moment national players have reached their prime and some brilliant performances by Shahid Afridi, Umer akmal and Ahmad shehzad brought the team Pakistan together as a unit. Former pacer praised Shahid Afridi for his batting against arch -rivals India and hosts Bangladesh saying that Afridi is in his 'supreme best' and he did not have words for Afridi's 'remarkable' and 'amazing' batting. The former pacer also mentioned the brilliant century of opener Ahmed Shahzad saying that he constructed a crucial partnership of 105 runs at a time when Pakistan lost three quick wickets.He also praised Fawad Alam for hitting his career's best score and said that Alam has made a comeback in the team after over three years and delivered exactly when team needed the most. He added that Pakistan should take care of their bowling as they were bowling too much to the 'off-side' of the stump instead of the 'right areas'. He also added that Pakistan's poor performance in bowling would not make the final against Sri Lanka easy.

I'm tired of "compassion" and "empathy" from well-meaning Mormons toward gays ("New Mormon church website has softer tone on gays," Tribune, Dec. 6). I'm tired of people trying to show love for me in my struggles and pains. I don't feel struggles and pains in being gay. I like my life.
I don't want solace. I want to be treated just like my straight friends. When a straight man yearns for love, we don't say, "Let me hold your hand while you endure this temptation that you mustn't act on. It must be very hard for you." No, we rejoice in his hopes for love and companionship.
I'm tired of Mormon "friends" wanting to share my (nonexistent) pains; share my joys. Life is happiness, love. None of that was in the report on the new Mormon gay website. Instead, there was loads of "compassion," "empathy," "understanding" a lot of pain.
Well, it's a phony, socially constructed pain. If Mormons really loved gays and wanted happiness for them, they would channel them into committed, permanent couple relationships. To deny them the growth from the love and sacrifice of marriage and family can hardly be called "compassion," and not at all love.

Ms Watkins said the higher Australian dollar and fiercer competition would affect its malt business, while the poor weather that had delayed one of the biggest harvests on record would generate lower storage fees for fiscal 2011.
More than $150 million was wiped off the value of GrainCorp yesterday as investors responded to the bearish commentary.
GrainCorp shares plunged more than 10 per cent to a near three-month low of $6.86 before recovering to end the day down 74¢ to $6.99.
Analysts were expected to make earnings downgrades after increasing profit forecasts in the past two months based on size of the crop, which is about 45 per cent larger than the 10-year average.
"They were definitely trying to lower expectations for 2011," one analyst, who declined to be named, said.
GrainCorp reported a 27 per cent increase in net profit to a record $80.2 million for the 12 months to September 30 as it benefited from the first year of malt earnings following last November's $757 million acquisition of the world's fourth-largest commercial malt group, United Malt Holdings.
Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation were $212 million, up 32 per cent.
GrainCorp said its malt business would generate EBITDA of between $90 million and $99 million based on current exchange rates, as much as $28.7 million below what it generated in 2010.
Ms Watkins said the lower earnings were a result of soft demand due to a downturn in beer consumption, increased global supplies and an Australian dollar that made it less competitive with its global peers.
While the east coast is on track for a bumper harvest this year, persistent rain has escalated concern that wheat quality would deteriorate, which could see more farmers sell feed grain locally rather than use GrainCorp's network to get grain to ports for export.
Ms Watkins said it was too early to determine the impact of the quality of the harvest, but the late start to harvest would push some earnings into fiscal 2012.
"It certainly has the effect of reducing storage income for this year [2011] because we just don't have the grain in our system," Ms Watkins said.
"We will probably see some deferral of revenue from this harvest into the following year, and that is going to underpin a good fiscal 2012 for us," she said.
GrainCorp expects to receive between 10 million and 13 million tonnes this year.
Ms Watkins, who joined GrainCorp in July and led an unsuccessful $856 million merger with AWB, would not be drawn on whether she was talking to Canada's Agrium about buying AWB's commodities arm.
But she said she was focused on expanding GrainCorp's vertically integrated grains model and there was a "compelling rationale for us to own more grain".
Ms Watkins said there were no current plans for an acquisition, but it was important to be alert to potential opportunities.
GrainCorp declared a final fully franked dividend of 10¢ per share and a special dividend of 5¢ per share, both payable on December 21.
Ms Watkins said she had no regrets in not raising her offer for AWB after Agrium's $1.2 billion bid.
"They have delivered a great result for AWB shareholders," Ms Watkins said. "We certainly are happy for them to have it at that price."
GrainCorp said it would phase out its contentious retention share plan in favour of a long-term incentive plan and new short-term plan that would defer some entitlements.
More than 60 per cent of shareholders voted against its remuneration report in February, prompting GrainCorp to review its remuneration practices.

Questions about physiotherapy for hip osteoarthritis
Tuesday 27 May 2014
Research raises questions about physiotherapy for hip osteoarthritis
A new study co-authored by a University of Otago researcher has found that combining several physiotherapy treatments does not produce greater improvements in pain or function than inactive 'sham' treatments among adults with hip osteoarthritis.
The findings appear in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA.
Hip osteoarthritis is a very common problem in adults. Exercise therapy, advice and education are recommended as first-line treatments by international clinical practice guidelines, with some more recent guidelines also recommending manual therapy. However there is little information how these treatments are best delivered.
The study, led by Professor Kim Bennell of the University of Melbourne, randomly assigned patients with hip osteoarthritis to attend 10 sessions of either active physiotherapy treatment (which included education and advice, manual therapy, exercise therapy, home exercises, and walking with an aid, if needed) or placebo treatments (which included inactive 'sham' ultrasound therapy and topical gel, education and advice).
Co-investigator Associate Professor Haxby Abbott of the University of Otago's Department of Surgical Sciences says the research contains an important message for physiotherapists treating patients with hip osteoarthritis.
"The physiotherapy protocol we tested contained several different treatments all delivered at the same time. This 'multi-modal' approach is common practice by physiotherapists, but may not deliver the best results," says Associate Professor Abbott.
"This study follows research we published last year, conducted in Dunedin, which showed physiotherapy protocols consisting primarily of manual therapy, or primarily of exercise therapy, was highly cost-effective and produced greater improvements than usual medical care. In contrast we found that a multi-modal combined manual therapy and exercise therapy protocol did not produce such improvements.
"This new study used essentially the same multi-modal combined manual therapy and exercise therapy protocol as was used in our previous study," he says.
"It shows that this approach delivers results no better than an equivalent period of time spent with a caring, attentive physiotherapist delivering 'sham' inactive treatments, along with verbal advice in conversation. These results raise significant questions about the common multi-modal approach to physiotherapy, at least in this patient population."
"My interpretation of the two studies together is that, when treating patients with osteoarthritis, physiotherapists should focus on delivering one mode of therapy at a time, do it well, and deliver an adequate dose of that therapy, rather than dividing their time up among many different modes of therapy."
