Draft at The Pour House in Westmont, NJ.
Pours a very cloudy and very dark brown color that's almost black with a 2.5 finger frothy beige head. Great retention, only slowly fading into a lasting cap. Chunks of soapy lacing left behind.
Surprisingly hop forward aoma with grassy resins and hop oils. Floral with pine needle, grass and spruce tips. This aggressive hop presence overpowers the brown ale notes a bit too much but there is some caramel malt sweetness along with hints of chocolate and subtle roast underneath.
On the lighter end of medium bodied and tastes very similar to the aroma. Very hop forward with resinous hop bitterness dominating the flavor. Dry and floral with grassy hop and sticky pine needle flavor lingering over a slightly roasted malt backbone into a dry finish. Hop profile is kind of one dimensional and the malts are impossible to pick up until it warms up considerably. After a while there is subtle toffee, caramel and chocolate malt sweetness along with burnt toast and coffee bean.

Appearance is a muddy chocolate brown with touches of ruby and orange on the edges. There is a finger of head which lingers for a bit and leaves some lace on the glass. The nose is dominated by hops. The hoppy flavor is upfront and dominates the finish. This is more of an IPA than an IBA because one can find little hint of the qualities of a good brown in this offering.
This beer is certainly tasty, but I expected more from the brewery that produces one of my favorite browns Old Brown Dog.

22oz bottle poured into a Smuttynose Big Beer Series Snifter. Bottle #64/828.
The beer pours a nice deep brown color, almost black and quite opaque with a big, four finger, cloudy, bone colored head that has great retention and leaves behind a great network of webbed lacing. The aroma very earthy, bitter, piney, dirty hops and mild coffee roast, a touch of bright citrus from the hops lingers behind, very simple aroma, but very pleasant. The flavors are quite nice, lots of earthy hop flavors hit the tongue straight away, lots of pine and grassy flavors, some nice grapefruit finds its way out as well. A nice presence smooth rich grain comes forward behind the hops, a touch sweet helps tame the bitterness with some lightly roasted coffee. The hops really dominate the beer, and are nicely executed, drinks exactly like a nice brown/black IPA should taste. Durty is full bodied, coats the mouth well with medium carbonation and a nice dry finish.
Verdict: A very enjoyable hoppy brown ale from Smuttynose. The alcohol is very well hidden at 8.5%, the hops are well integrated with the richer, grainy malt flavors of the brown ale, definitely worth seeking out for any hop head.

Thanks to Bendurgin for sharing! The Color is dark brown. There is a nice one inch fluffy light tam head. Lots of sticky lacing.
The aroma has some piney hops mixed with subtle chocolate and some chicory.
The taste has some nice cocoa notes that lead to a hoppy finish. There is a decent amount of sweetness to go with the nice spicy hop finish.
This is full bodied with sharp carbonation. This is unique and tasty. Great beer.

Poured into a chalice. This one pours a dark cola brown with about an inch of light khaki head. Nice retention with some gobs of sticky lace.
The aroma has hintsof nuts and cocoa with some grassy hops in the background. The pallet has a nice nutty flavor with some grassy and citrus hops rounding it out. Hints of cocoa on the finish.
The body is medium with good carbonation. Leaves a bit of a filmy taste on the finish. Overall this one is great. Really hope this gets brewed again in some form or incarnation.

Pours the lightest brown, or ruby in the right light. Creamy one finger off white head. Aroma is of pungent hops with a caramel sweetness as a backbone. Taste is an intense hoppy bomb, but not overly bitter and very well balanced. Plenty of piney, floral, and citrusy hops contending to be noticed here. Everything comes together to create an exceptional ipa. The brown ale elements of the beer provide a great malt backbone to balance the hops without becoming overly sweet. Creamy, creamy mouthfeel. Reminded me a ton of Surly Furious...which is a good thing!

Pours a deep cordovan, a bit of light passes through the mirk, with a long lasting tan head that crowns this baby the king.
Citrus hops, neutral and caramel sweet, nice bit of pine resin behind it, some fruity notes too, like melons. Intoxicating bouquet.
Wonderful taste, a marvel ot pine and citrus hops competing in it, nice orange peel and grapefruit, Somehow it stays sweet in there as pine controls the end of sip, and leaves you dry as Sahara in summer. This is a red/brown ale you say.?
Mouthfeel is perfect to showcase these strong flavors. Low carb. despite its look, nicely viscous and clinging, yet also refreshing, interesting finish that never grows rooty/herbal.
One of Smutty's homeruns if you ask me. Delicious treat for the hop craver looking for a winner in a different style than fill the shelves. Highly recommended.

A-Pours a turbid, durty brown. Head is quite full and light brown. Head retains quite well. It leaves plenty of lacing.
S-Awesome aromatics. An appetizing mix of tropically fruited hops and deep brown malts. Floral hoppiness too. Very good mixture of the aromas. They really go well together.
T-Just as awesome. At its base it is a malty Brown Ale. However the plentiful hop flavors make this an awesome hybrid. Chocolatey and malty along with a giant dosage of beautiful hops. The flavors mesh incredibly well. So pleased with the expression of the hops here.
M-Mediumm bodied and creamy. Soft carbonation. Bitter. Very drinkable.
O/D-Delicious. I hope they brew this again. Probably my favorite Smutty brew. Unique and incredibly tasty.

Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass. Pours a dark mahogany, with a two inch dark tan head that leaves loads of webby lacing. Smell is citrus hops, pine, carmel, and a little bread. Taste just burst with big citrus hops, with everything else in a supporting role, with a hint of roasted chocolate malts in the finish. Body is medium large, with lots of life,not dry, and easy drinking. This is excellent, reminds me of a big, brown version of Zoe Ale. Please make this again, because it is a treat.

Dark brown with a chunky tan head. Hearty soap scum retention sticks all over from my head to my feet. Bottle 545 of 828 for what it's worth.
Not what I was expecting. The label says a "hoppy brown ale" but I was anticipating a solid brown ale with an extra umph of hops. This smells like a fresh basket of citrus fruit. Chocolate biscotti breadiness underneath.
Tastes like it smells although the chocolate bread malt character puts up a slightly better showing. Hoppier than both Finest Kind IPA and Big A DIPA this is more like a dark DIPA than any brown ale and probably the hoppiest Smutty I've had. And I've had my share of Smutty.
The brown ale lover in me wishes that the malt wasn't so thoroughly trounced by hops. The hophead in me says there's no such thing as too much hops.

Pours a solid dark brown with faint ruby highlights when held to light and a huge fluffy tan head that persists forever before sticking lace to the sides of the glass. I could smell the pine and earthy hops as soon as I popped the cap of the bottle. Pine, earth, resin, and a hint of garlic and citrus make up the bulk of the nose on this one. There's supposed to be some malt here, but my nose can't find it. The flavor holds a bit of toffee and caramel up front but there's enough pine and resin to make that a bit hard to find. This finish actually has a long lingering caramel or toffee, and a chocolate and ash flavor to it. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a resinous almost sweet mouthfeel to it. This is a great brew, I'm glad I was lucky enough to find a bottle of this. Now to find some on tap!

The beer pours a surprisingly clean mahogany brown, with a nice finger width head that lasts awhile, and gives a sand-dune white color. Lacing is long and medium in size, sticking nicely to the sides of my glass. The beer sits in the glass rather dark, almost black, with nice carbonation moving through it. On the nose, this beer smells like heaven. Big fat juicy hops, mango, passion fruit, ruby red grapefruit, and a light caramel sitting below everything, and hinting at the malts in this beer. This is a superb smell for anything with hops, though as it warms the alcohol becomes more present and spicy in the smell. On the taste there is some big grapefruit and alcohol with light caramel and nuts dancing on the sides of the flavor. The beer opens with bitter grapefruit which builds into spicy alcohol and grapefruit. As it moves towards the finish, light roast, caramel, and very light nuttiness come through in the taste. The aftertaste is bitter and pithy grapefruit with a light caramel tingle. On the mouth, this beer feels light and fluffy, and slightly chewy, sitting at the upper end of a light body and lower end of medium, and leaving the mouth with a light sticky layer of bitters and caramel. Overall, this beer is tasty. I would love to knock back a six –pack of this on a late summer night or fall night. The smell is definitely the most heavenly part of this beer, hinting far more at a double IPA, and actually reminding me of Wookey Jack by Firestone Walker. This is a great beer that really shouldn't be around for long (due to its small batch), but if you see it snatch it up. Also, if Smuttynose is reading this review, please throw this in 6-packs and put it alongside Finest Kind at the grocery store so I can by sixers of it regularly. Yes I realize its 8+% but, its tasty, and if you have to then lower the percentage, and still put it in a six-pack, thanks. Drink this stuff.

ESPN Radio to air NFL Sunday afternoon games
Joining an already crowded field, ESPN Radio has announced it will begin carrying Sunday afternoon NFL games starting this fall. Because the NFL allows teams to sell their out-of-market rights to syndicators, ESPN signed five teams, the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers.
ESPN Radio joins Compass Media Networks, Dial Global and Sports USA in providing national NFL Sunday afternoon radio broadcasts. ESPN's games will not affect the local broadcasts. If you live in Pittsburgh, you'll still hear the Steelers on WDVE and WBGG. ESPN Radio's broadcast of the Steelers will be blacked out in the local market and the same if the network airs a Patriots game, Boston would be blacked out from hearing the broadcast.
In addition, ESPN Radio's broadcasts will not be streamed. The only way to listen will be through your radio set.

Thank you for the tutorial. I am going to make a pillowcase like this for my cousin tomorrow.

Just have to leave a comment when I find a tutorial that I like & bookmark. This is an awesome reference to just refresh my memory before I start a project. I watch a tute, and check myself before I begin. Fabric is just too expensive now to jump the gun and make mistakes. So I appreciate when someone takes the time to share their expertise, and gifts with others so willingly. Thank you. And God bless.

Hi Jessie, I'm about to embark upon my first cushion cover but with no sewing machine! I think I can use your tutorial (it will just take me longer) but also I am making an oblong cushion (30x50cm) so was wondering how you would amend your instructions for this? Xxx

Pinterest. How did we ever live without it? An online tool for collecting, saving and sharing inspiration, Pinterest has revolutionised the wedding industry since it's launch 3 years ago, with 1 in 3 engaged couples now using it to plan their wedding!!
A few weeks ago I had an email from the team at Pinterest inviting me to take part in Pin It Forward UK, a campaign to promote the UK pinning community. It's my favourite planning tool, so I was excited to take part! If you haven't heard of Pinterest yet (have you been living under a rock?!) or haven't quite got your head around how it can work for you yet, grab my brand new b.loved Guide To Pinterest – my very own step-by-step guide. There's some great recommendations of pinners to follow on there too… more about them in just a tick.

Morning lovely readers! After a wedding-filled weekend I'm back at my desk this morning and tying up a few loose ends before heading of to Dubai for the long weekend. Oh, I do love bank holidays! And after a few sunny days in April, it seems Summer has evaded our tiny island for the time being so I can't wait to soak up some sunshine and have a few days off! I'm also super excited to be meeting up with Joelle of My Lovely Wedding, Dubai's first (and most stylish!) wedding blog, while I'm there. See, I can't even go a few days without talking about weddings!
Today's mood board takes inspiration from a key 2013 trend, that I predict will be popular for Autumn and Winter weddings this year. The botanicals trend is just hitting UK shores, filled with succulent green tones, natural textures and hints of antique style it's pared back and elegant style is the perfect choice for brides looking for a clean and contemporary style. Botanicals is a key trend in fashion and interiors on the high street this Summer too, making it easy to find the perfect props, bridesmaids dressses and details to complete the look. Bouquets are large and messy, filled with shades of green foliage from broad leaved ferns, wild grasses and scented herbs. More leaves and herbs, accented with neutral-coloured flowers fill apothecary jars, bottles and vases for an eclectic, laid-back feel to your reception tables. How about a single fern leaf adorning each place setting for a natural but oh-so-elegant touch. Decorate blank walls with these amazing hanging fern wreaths (find the DIY over on OnceWed) adding gorgeous textures to the room, or hang frames containing delicate pressed leaves (perhaps collected from your garden, or favourite places) which add not only an elegant decorative touch, but a homely feel too. Keep the palette tonal for a calm and collected look, I've added a touch of black for contemporary sophistication.

Happy weekend lovelies and welcome to a new feature on b.loved! b. for business is aimed at hard-working wedding industry professionals who, like me, sometimes need a little help and advice in running their business. I don't profess to know everything, far from it, but I will be sharing some of the lessons I've learnt and some of my design and styling experience with you in the hope that it might help! I'd love this monthly post to become a little conversational, so feel free to share your thoughts, comments and questions below.
Over the past 2 ½ years of running b.loved I've been lucky to meet so many talented and creative people, with amazing products and services to share with my brides. The one thing that frustrates me the most is when I'm shown beautiful products, followed by an email containing product shots with lacklustre photography and non-existent styling. I have a pretty high standard of quality on the blog, and having to turn down features simply because the imagery is not right is heart breaking. I know you've put a lot of time and effort in to creating the perfect brand and the perfect product, you're 90% of the way there, so don't let the final 10% let you down!

Happy Friday lovelies! Are you all having a fantastic week? And no doubt lots of lovely plans for the weekend! At b.loved HQ I'm going to be embarking on awedding-tastic weekend, with no less than FIVE amazing events, pop-up shops and designer days to attend, as well as catching up with some of my favourite wedding folk AND introducing a new feature on Sunday (this one's for my wedding pro friends so make sure you pop back to check it out). In all, it's going to be a weekend packed full of pretty inspiration, so I'll be sure to keep you updated over on my Instagram feed.
Right now though, I'm delighted to welcome back Mel from My Fabulous Wedding Band for the second instalment of The Fabulous Bride's Guide To… Live Wedding Music. Mel has done it again with a super informative post – and she even managed to squeeze in a bit about my favourite topic – your wedding 'brand'. Told you I love her
Ahhh, the first dance. Those precious few minutes towards the end of your wedding celebration where you and your new husband can soak it all up, take it all in while swaying to the rhythm of your favourite song. Personally, I love photographing the first dance. I know for some photographers the first dance can be quite daunting in terms of lighting but I really enjoy the challenge & incorporating the lighting my couples have chosen for their first dance into the images.
A few tips on how to make the most of your first dance:
1. Try and make it last! Needless to say the length of your first dance is completely up to you, but it definitely pays to have a fair few minutes on the dance floor! Why? More time to hold your brand new husband, more lovely photos of your first dance as husband & wife and more time to throw in some interesting moves!

Nongovernmental organization
Talk0this wiki
The term non-governmental organization (NGO) is used in a variety of ways all over the world and, depending on the context in which it is used, can refer to many different types of organizations. In its broadest sense, a non-governmental organization is one which is not directly part of the structure of government. Anheier places the number of internationally operating NGOs at 40,000.[1] National numbers are even higher: The Wikipedia:United States has an estimated 2 million NGOs , most of them formed in the past 30 years. Wikipedia:Russia has 400,000 NGOs.[2] Wikipedia:India is estimated to have between 1 and 2 million NGOs.[3] In Wikipedia:Kenya alone, some 240 NGOs come into existence every year.
Contents |
International non-governmental organizations have a history dating back to at least the mid-nineteenth century.[4] They were important in the anti-slavery movement and the movement for women's suffrage, and reached a peak at the time of the Wikipedia:World Disarmament Conference.[5] However, the phrase "non-governmental organization" only came into popular use with the establishment of the Wikipedia:United Nations Organization in 1945 with provisions in Article 71 of Chapter 10 of the United Nations Charter[6] for a consultative role for organizations which are neither governments nor member states – see Wikipedia:Consultative Status. The definition of "international NGO" (INGO) is first given in resolution 288 (X) of ECOSOC on Wikipedia:February 27, Wikipedia:1950: it is defined as "any international organisation that is not founded by an international treaty". The vital role of NGOs and other "major groups" in Wikipedia:sustainable development was recognized in Chapter 27[7] of Wikipedia:Agenda 21, leading to intense arrangements for a consultative relationship between the United Nations and non-governmental organizations.[8]
Wikipedia:Globalization during the 20th century gave rise to the importance of NGOs. Many problems could not be solved within a nation. International treaties and international organizations such as the Wikipedia:World Trade Organization were perceived as being too centred on the interests of capitalist enterprises. In an attempt to counterbalance this Wikipedia:trend, NGOs have developed to emphasize humanitarian issues, Wikipedia:developmental aid and Wikipedia:sustainable development. A prominent example of this is the Wikipedia:World Social Forum which is a rival convention to the Wikipedia:World Economic Forum held annually in January in Davos, Wikipedia:Switzerland. The fifth World Social Forum in Wikipedia:Porto Alegre, Wikipedia:Brazil, in January 2005 was attended by representatives from more than 1,000 NGOs.[9]
Apart from 'NGO' often alternative terms are used as for example independent sector, volunteer sector, civil society, grassroots organizations, transnational social movement organizations, private voluntary organizations, self-help organizations and non-state actors (NSAs).
Nongovernmental organizations are a heterogeneous group. A long list of acronyms has developed around the term 'NGO'.
These include:
- Wikipedia:INGO stands for international NGO, such as Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières;
- BINGO is short for business-oriented international NGO;
- Wikipedia:ENGO, short for environmental NGO, such as Wikipedia:Global 2000;
- Wikipedia:GONGOs are government-operated NGOs, which may have been set up by governments to look like NGOs in order to qualify for outside aid or promote the interests of the government in question;
- Wikipedia:QUANGOs are quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations, such as the Wikipedia:International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is actually not purely an NGO, since its membership is by nation, and each nation is represented by what the ISO Council determines to be the 'most broadly representative' standardization body of a nation. Now, such a body might in fact be a nongovernmental organization--for example, the United States is represented in ISO by the Wikipedia:American National Standards Institute, which is independent of the federal government. However, other countries can be represented by national governmental agencies--this is the trend in Europe.
There are also numerous classifications of NGOs. The typology the Wikipedia:World Bank uses divides them into Operational and Advocacy:[10]
The primary purpose of an operational NGO is the design and implementation of development-related Wikipedia:projects. One frequently used categorization is the division into 'relief-oriented' or 'development-oriented' organizations; they can also be classified according to whether they stress Wikipedia:service delivery or participation; or whether they are religious or secular; and whether they are more public or private-oriented. Operational NGOs can be Wikipedia:community-based, national or international.
The primary purpose of an Advocacy NGO is to defend or promote a specific cause. As opposed to operational project management, these organizations typically try to raise awareness, acceptance and knowledge by lobbying, press work and activist events.
Wikipedia:USAID refers to NGOs as private voluntary organizations. However many scholars have argued that this definition is highly problematic as many NGOs are in fact state and corporate funded and managed projects with professional staff.
NGOs exist for a variety of reasons, usually to further the political or social goals of their members or funders. Examples include improving the state of the Wikipedia:natural environment, encouraging the observance of Wikipedia:human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantaged, or representing a corporate agenda. However, there are a huge number of such organizations and their goals cover a broad range of political and philosophical positions. This can also easily be applied to private schools and athletic organizations.
NGOs vary in their methods. Some act primarily as lobbyists, while others conduct programs and activities primarily. For instance, an NGO such as Wikipedia:Oxfam, concerned with poverty alleviation, might provide needy people with the equipment and skills to find food and clean Wikipedia:drinking water.
Public relationsEdit
Non-governmental organizations need healthy relationships with the public to meet their goals. Foundations and charities use sophisticated public relations campaigns to raise funds and employ standard lobbying techniques with governments. Interest groups may be of political importance because of their ability to influence social and political outcomes. At times NGOs seek to mobilize public support.
Many international NGOs have a consultative status with United Nations agencies relevant to their area of work. As an example, the Wikipedia:Third World Network has a consultative status with the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the Wikipedia:UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). While in 1946, only 41 NGOs had consultative status with the Wikipedia:ECOSOC, by 2003 this number had risen to 3550.
Project managementEdit
There is an increasing awareness that management techniques are crucial to project success in non-governmental organizations.[11] Generally, non-governmental organizations that are private have either a community or environmental focus. They address varieties of issues such as religion, emergency aid, or humanitarian affairs. They mobilize public support and voluntary contributions for aid; they often have strong links with community groups in developing countries, and they often work in areas where government-to-government aid is not possible. NGOs are accepted as a part of the international relations landscape, and while they influence national and multilateral policy-making, increasingly they are more directly involved in local action.
Two management trends are particularly relevant to NGOs: Wikipedia:diversity management and Wikipedia:participatory management. Diversity management deals with different cultures in an organization. Intercultural problems are prevalent in Northern NGOs which are engaged in developmental activities in the South. Personnel coming from a rich country are faced with a completely different approach of doing things in the target country. A participatory management style is said to be typical of NGOs. It is intricately tied to the concept of a Wikipedia:learning organization: all people within the organization are perceived as sources for knowledge and skills. To develop the organization, individuals have to be able to contribute in the Wikipedia:decision making process and they need to learn.
Not all people working for non-governmental organizations are Wikipedia:volunteers. Paid staff members typically receive lower pay than in the commercial Wikipedia:private sector. Employees are highly committed to the aims and Wikipedia:principles of the Wikipedia:organization. The reasons people volunteer are not necessarily purely altruistic, and can provide immediate benefits for themselves as well as those they serve, including skills, experience, and contacts.
There is some dispute as to whether Wikipedia:expatriates should be sent to developing countries. Frequently this type of personnel is employed to satisfy a Wikipedia:donor who wants to see the supported project managed by someone from an Wikipedia:industrialized country. However, the expertise these employees or volunteers may have can be counterbalanced by a number of factors: the cost of Wikipedia:foreigners is typically higher, they have no grassroot connections in the country they are sent to, and local expertise is often undervalued.[10]
The NGO sector is an important employer in terms of numbers. For example, by the end of 1995, CONCERN worldwide, an international Northern NGO working against poverty, employed 174 expatriates and just over 5,000 national staff working in ten developing countries in Wikipedia:Africa and Wikipedia:Asia, and in Wikipedia:Haiti.
Large NGOs may have annual budgets in the millions of dollars. For instance, the budget of the Wikipedia:American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) was over US$540 million in 1999.[12] Wikipedia:Human Rights Watch spent and received US$21.7 million in 2003 . Funding such large budgets demands significant fundraising efforts on the part of most NGOs. Major sources of NGO funding include Wikipedia:membership dues, the sale of goods and services, grants from international institutions or national governments, and private Wikipedia:donations. Several Wikipedia:EU-grants provide funds accessible to NGOs.
Even though the term "non-governmental organization" implies Wikipedia:independence from governments, some NGOs depend heavily on governments for their funding. A quarter of the US$162 million income in 1998 of the Wikipedia:famine-Wikipedia:relief organization Wikipedia:Oxfam was donated by the British government and the EU. The Christian relief and development organization Wikipedia:World Vision collected US$55 million worth of goods in 1998 from the American government. Wikipedia:Nobel Prize winner Wikipedia:Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (known in English as Doctors Without Borders) gets 46% of its income from government sources.[13]
Monitoring and controlEdit
In a March 2000 report on United Nations Reform priorities, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan wrote in favor of international humanitarian intervention, arguing that the international community has a "right to protect" citizens of the world against ethnic cleansing, genocide, and crimes against humanity. On the heels of the report, the Canadian government launched the Responsibility to Protect Template:PDFlink project, outlining the issue of humanitarian intervention. While the R2P doctrine has wide applications, among the more controversial has been the Canadian government's use of R2P to justify its intervention and support of the coup in Haiti.
Years after R2P, the Wikipedia:World Federalist Movement, an organization which supports "the creation of democratic global structures accountable to the citizens of the world and call for the division of international authority among separate agencies", has launched Responsibility to Protect - Engaging Civil Society (R2PCS). A collaboration between the WFM and the Canadian government, this project aims to bring NGOs into lockstep with the principles outlined under the original R2P project.
Wikipedia:NGO Monitor is a conservative pro-Israel site which aims to promote "critical debate and accountability of human rights NGOs in the Wikipedia:Arab-Wikipedia:Israeli conflict." The organization has successfully conducted campaigns against Oxfam and the Ford Foundation — leading to formal apologies and changes in practice — on the grounds that these organizations are too anti-Israeli.
Wikipedia:NGOWatch is a project of the Wikipedia:American Enterprise Institute which monitors NGOs. The project is primarily a negative analysis of NGOs which are considered to be on the progressive side of the political spectrum.
Wikipedia:Indian NGOs is a portal of over 20,000 NGOs who work with the corporate sector in India. This portal offers insights into how the corporate sector is using NGOs to benefit their program.
In recent years, many large corporations have beefed up their Corporate Social Responsibility departments in an attempt to preempt NGO campaigns against certain corporate practices. As the logic goes, if corporations work with NGOs, NGOs will not work against corporations.
Legal statusEdit
NGOs are not legal entities under Wikipedia:international law, as states are. An exception is the Wikipedia:International Committee of the Red Cross, which is considered a legal entity under international law because it is based on the Wikipedia:Geneva Convention.
Civil society organizationEdit
There is a growing movement within the "non"-profit and "non"-government sector to define itself in a more constructive, accurate way. Instead of being defined by "non" words, organizations are suggesting new terminology to describe the sector. The term "civil society organization" (CSO) has been used by a growing number of organizations, such as The Center for the Study of Global Governance. [14] The term "citizen sector organization" (CSO) has also been advocated to describe the sector — as one of citizens, for citizens.[15] This labels and positions the sector as its own entity, without relying on language used for the government or business sectors.

Fox joined the college's board as a Gordon County representative in 2005. He is the president and general manager of Fox Systems, Inc. Fox will serve a two year term as GNTC's board chair.
Having employed many graduates from GNTC at his company, Fox Systems, Inc., Fox says having skilled workers is vital to our communities. "GNTC is a tremendous asset to Northwest Georgia and I believe we will continue to train and better prepare our students to excel in the workforce."
Fox has been an avid supporter of technical education for many years, stating "GNTC and all the technical colleges in Georgia play a vital role in workforce development and are an essential part of Georgia's ability to compete in a world industrial market."
"Randall has been a very vocal ambassador for Georgia Northwestern and has created opportunities for our college through his generosity and influence," stated Dr. Craig McDaniel, GNTC president. "He will provide great leadership for our board."
Fox says he is looking forward to leading GNTC's Board of Directors into the next two years. "I consider serving Georgia Northwestern one of the most rewarding positions in our community. I am thankful and honored to be asked to serve in this capacity."
Murphy, who was appointed to GNTC's board as a Polk County representative in 2006, is a native of Rome, Georgia. He has worked at the HON Company in the Cedartown, Georgia facility since 1995. He has held various engineering and manufacturing management positions with the company and is currently the vice president of manufacturing.
Murphy says he is looking forward to serving the college as vice chair of the board for two years and then moving into the position of chair. "GNTC does a great job of understanding business and industry needs and preparing students for successful careers or further academic studies. I am honored to serve in a leadership role on the GNTC Board of Directors and look forward to working with the board, faculty, and staff to meet the needs of citizens, communities, and companies in our service area."
"Todd has led the HON Company to unparalleled growth and has allowed Georgia Northwestern and the Georgia Quick Start program the opportunity to be a part of HON's success," said McDaniel. "He has a strong commitment to workforce development and GNTC."
Also at the June meeting, Scott Tucker, current chair of the board, was honored for his service to the college. Tucker, current president and CEO of United Community Bank of Chattooga County, will retire from his duties as chair on June 30, 2012. Tucker will remain on the GNTC board of directors as a member.
When asked about Tucker's leadership as GNTC's board chair, McDaniel said, "Scott has provided excellent leadership to our board and college. His guidance as we went through the merger and beyond was critical to the success we enjoy today. I will forever be indebted to Scott Tucker."
GNTC's board serves both in a community advisory capacity and in a limited administrative capacity, performing certain oversight responsibilities as designated by state board policy. The local board is comprised of members from the business and industrial communities from nine counties in the service area (Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, Polk, Walker, and Whitfield counties). State board policy defines the role and responsibilities of the local Board. Board members are selected because of their experience, ability, and dedication to deal with issues that relate to the mission of occupational education. GNTC's board of directors includes Brian Anderson, Whitfield County; Mary Sib Banks, Floyd County; Bob Berry, Floyd County; Brent Box, Gordon County; Vann W. Brown, Whitfield County; Dr. Paul Ferguson, Floyd County; Randall Fox, Gordon County; Penny Grigg, Walker County; Dr. Carl Herring, Floyd County; Robert Hitchcox, Catoosa County; Anne Kaiser, Floyd County; Andrew Kearton, Whitfield County; Jimmy Lester, Polk County; Todd Murphy, Polk County; Rebecca Page, Dade County; Dr. Vickie Reed, Murray County; Scott Tucker, Chattooga County; Dr. Phillip Williams, Chattooga County; and Joe Yarbrough, Whitfield County.

If your business has multiple workstations utilizing the same software program or you can forecast a growing need for future software purchases, then you are a candidate for most software licensing programs. The number one reason you should consider software licensing is cost savings. Volume software licensing allows you to save on software products for which you buy multiple copies. Compliance is the second best reason to choose licensing. Compliance simply means that you have paid for the rights to use the software on the number of machines or by the number of users that currently have the software installed. Fines for unauthorized or pirated copies of software can be hefty and are best avoided.
Software licensing can be very complex as each software manufacturer may have a unique licensing program. Some licensing programs give you discounts based on how many licenses you purchase while others are based on the number of seats or devices using the software. In some cases desktop software may be licensed differently from server-based software that needs to be accessed by users. And some licensing programs offer subscription licenses verses concurrent user licenses. Before buying into a licensing program you should have a good understanding of what software you need. You can rely upon your specially-trained CDW Software Licensing Specialist to expertly assist you in determining the right licensing program to fit your needs.
When you buy through a volume licensing program you pay only for the license. With retail boxed product you are also paying for the packaging, media (CD or DVD), and a user's guide. Without the packaging costs, the per unit price is lower. Purchasing licensing will also allow you to more easily manage and organize your licenses rather than trying to track individual box product licenses.
Once you've decide that volume licensing makes sense for your company, you will need to decide whether you want to take a simple transactional approach or if a contractual agreement (large quanities) might save you money by forecasting your software need.
Depending on the licensing program you choose, you may or may not receive media (CD or DVD), however you should always have the option to purchase media separately or download the software from the manufacturer's web site. Some manufacturers also include documentation with their Media Kits.
Most licensing programs offer various types of maintenance, the most commonly used term to describe this is software assurance or software subscription. Maintenance normally includes rights to the most current version of the software purchased and may also include phone support, partner services and access to training. The support level you choose largely depends on the amount of downtime your company can afford to experience.
What happens if a new software product version is released within the license period? Most software license programs offer Upgrade Protection (sometimes known as Upgrade Insurance, Subscription or Maintenance). Upgrade Protection allows you to use any new version release of the licensed software during the designated time period, typically two years. While some manufacturers include Upgrade Protection with a license purchase, most have it available for a discounted fee.
As you can see, software licensing can be complicated but very cost-effective for your company. For help in deciding what program is the best suited to meet your needs while providing administrative time savings and cost savings, contact your account manager or e-mail our software licensing specialists.

First off: please excuse my stupidity in this post - I'm quite new to arcade hardware and I'm not all that great with electronics (I'm a software guy). On with my story/questions...
After reading through a few posts in this sub-forum (mainly the great thread spawned by Twimfy, which answered many questions I had), I decided to delve in to the world or arcade stuff. My plan was to get an MVS (I've always enjoyed Metal Slug and a few other games on the system) and a simple supergun. So I bought myself a cheap Vogatek supergun from another forum, then bought a nice 4 slot MVS system (with two games). The 4 slot seemed to have a few benefits over the 1 slot models and space isn't an issue - plus, it was cheapish.
I had read that, whilst the MVS systems are not 100% JAMMA compatible (I've seen the term "JAMMA+" applied to them), it was mostly compatible. Due to this, I figured my setup would work.
After firing up, in order, the PSU, the PSU plus supergun, the supergun plus empty MVS (which gave the expected grid test pattern) and, finally, the full setup with a game, it all seemed fine. I didn't get any sound through the TV, but plugging my headphones in to the supergun's headphone port did result in sound. Worryingly, there was a lot of other noise mixed in with it. At this point, I hadn't realised that plugging a standard JAMMA supergun in to an MVS unit can apparently destroy the sound amplifier (or something along those lines).
The second game worked fine, too, but starting it up with both carts in at once took me to the config/setup page (not a problem - everything seemed fine). It detected both carts, but I couldn't boot to either one - it only worked with one cart at a time. I put this down to the lack of a fourth button on my controllers and/or lack of the game-select button.
About six hours later, finished with work, I decided to fire it up again, but was greeted by the MVS's setup system each time. No matter what cart I tried, it always took me to the same thing (and selecting "Exit" from the menu just took me back there). One time it even gave me a Z80 error. It was at this point I started searching Google for some answers and realised that I may have damaged the MVS thanks to the supergun I was using.
Despite my Googling, I've not been able to find any solid answers to the questions I have; hence my post here. Here's what I want to know:
I'm pretty sure that I may have borked the sound system on the MVS: is this fixable? I've read that replacing the capacitors is simple enough (some people even sell kits), but isn't that something different to what I've likely damaged? I can use a soldering iron, but anything more than that may prove a little... challenging. I don't even have a multimeter, but am willing to spend a few quid to purchase one (and other such equipment - I have a soldering iron, though).
Is the system's inability to play games likely to be caused by using a JAMMA supergun instead of something more suited to the MVS? Or is it more likely that I just need to clean the contacts on the carts/board? Or is this the sign of a more serious problem?
When turing on the system (even the very first time I tried, with no carts), the first thing displayed is what looks like garbage. It only appears for a few seconds on a mainly green screen - and the pattern used to be the same each time (as far as I could see, at least). However, after the system stopped playing games, the pattern seems to have changed slightly (although still appears to be the same). Should I be worried about this? Or is it normal?
Assuming I've not completely trashed either my supergun or MVS, I'm planning on building (or buying, depending on the cost difference and my level of lethargy at the time) an MVS to JAMMA convertor. Is it worth it, or should I just attempt to build a simple MVS compatible supergun? I'm quite happy to follow guides on building things from veroboard/stripboard (and the like) -- it's something I've successfully done before -- but if it requires an actual knowledge of how it works, I could mess something up and make things worse.
I've got my supergun with me, but I left the MVS at work (which is where it is to live - much to the delight of my cow-irkers), but I can pick it up and take pictures/videos to show what I mean. If you need any more details or information, please let me know. Sorry for such a long post.

"Carrier has poor reliability"
The Carrier unit (5 ton) in our newly built house failed (compressor) after 7 years. We replaced the entire outside unit last year and it has failed again. I'm not waiting for the third strike. No more Carrier...

"Don't Buy Carrier"
Carrier warrantee is not worth the paper it is printed on. Two month wait for a compressor they no longer make -- I'm still under warrantee. Save yourself a headache and look at other brands. I'm investigating my legal options as the top-of-the-line units I purchased were actually end-of-life models. Apparently there was some SEER 13 regulations that took effect in 1/1/2006 and my units did not meet this rating. These regulations were known to Carrier and the local dealer at least by 3/2/2004 when the regulations were announced by the DoE.

"Carrier Unit"
We purchased our house new in 2004. It came with two 3 1/2 ton units. First year, upstairs condenser went out, and then the coils went bad - these were both fixed under our homeowners 1 year warranty. Second year, the downstairs condenser went bad, but we had purchased the extended warranty at that time so it was mostly covered. After this, our upstairs condenser started to make so much noise; it woke us up at nights and our neighbors complained. When the service people looked at we were told 'that's normal'. So we decided to wait for it to finally break. One year went by, all seemed to be doing well (other than the noise). Fourth summer - my children complained of it being too warm upstairs. Went outside, and saw that the upstairs unit was frozen up. Called the repair person, we had a leak in the coils. Our coils were still under warranty, but not the labor. In addition, Carrier no longer made the coils that went with our condenser, so we had to purchase a capacitor to make sure our condenser could handle the load. Three weeks later, we have to replace the fan on the same unit. Basically, in less than 5 years, we have had 5 different things go wrong with our carrier units. We will NOT be getting another carrier. Our neighbors have carriers as well, and both their coils have leaks. We are not happy with the units at all. We are saving up to replace the units completely, as it looks as if it will save us money in the long run.

"Reliability not too good"
For the base carrier unit: In just under 6 years the unit is tripping the breaker. The cause is the compressor which is now bad according to the carrier technician. So just after the 5 short years and the end of the warranty period the unit is now overheating and needs replacing. Previously I thought Carrier was one of the better units for a/c but after this experience this doesn't seem to be the case. Especially since we live in Michigan and this a/c unit was not used too often.

5 years I have had this unit. Bought a brand new home. I have had to replace the fan motor, welded 3 leaks not to mention the amount spent on Freon. Every ac person claims these units are a piece of junk. It vibrates and sounds like you are on the airport runway. Last night the condensor went out do not buy a carrier! In az you get these units w/ your "new" home. Story after story from people spending endless $ on the units! Carrier has been less that helpful the must contract there own team to refurbish and replace parts so it will break down again! I am very unhappy! (That not the word I want yo use but...

"48GP 13 SEER packaged unit"
Bought this thing a few years ago to replace an older 8 seer r22 unit. Ever since day one, the unit did not cool the house as well as the old unit did. I complained to the installing dealer and they said "it's normal" After service calls,with no results, I got one servicer to correctly diagnose an obstruction in the drier, causing high head pressure and high compressor operating temperature. Tried to get Carrier to cover the unit under warranty (since the unit was defective from the factory)..FORGET IT..Carrier does not give a damn about it's customers. You have to sue these people to get them to do what they are supposed to do.. That's what I'm in the process of doing now..

"Not worth your money."
I purchased a brand new home with a Carrier central air unit in 2007. By the summer 2008 the unit failed to operate right after my 1 year labor warranty expired. First it stoped blowing cold or hot air. Then the motor went bad along with the control boards. Parts not available and Carrier is no help Costing me about $500 to fix problems on a unit that's just 2 years old.

"Leaks freon and breaks down constantly"
Every year we have to add freon because of leaks in the coil and in five years we've had four repairs for defective parts (fan,contractor, capacitor and vavle). We have spent almost as much in repairs as we did to have this piece of junk put in! Very unhappy!

Martin scored on runs of 45 and 67 yards in the third quarter and 70 yards and 1 yard in the fourth, as the Bucs roared back from a 10-7 halftime deficit for a big win.
The Bucs improved to 4-4, winning for the third time in their past four games. The Raiders fell to 3-5 and lost running back Darren McFadden to a leg injury midway through the second quarter. According to the Raiders, X-rays on McFadden's leg were negative.
Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer completed 39 of 61 passes for 414 yards and four touchdowns, but he was intercepted three times.
The Raiders waged a furious late comeback, overcoming much of a 28-10 third-quarter deficit to pull within 35-32 with 3:51 left to play on Palmer's 13-yard touchdown pass to fullback Marcel Reece and two-point pass to Juron Criner.
But after the Raiders' defense forced a punt, Bucs safety Ahmad Black intercepted a Palmer misfire and returned 34 yards to the Oakland 22. Martin's 1-yard touchdown run increased the Bucs' lead to 42-32 with 1:49 remaining.
The Bucs trailed 10-7 at halftime but quickly moved back ahead early in the third quarter when Martin broke loose for a 45-yard touchdown run. Martin shot over left guard, angled toward the left sideline and outran Raiders safeties Matt Giordano and Tyvon Branch, putting Tampa Bay ahead 14-10 with 12:09 left in the third.
Just minutes later, quarterback Josh Freeman and the Bucs went back to work. On third-and-five from the Tampa Bay 45, Freeman zipped a pass along the right sideline to wide receiver Mike Williams, who cut back across field to the Raiders' 18 for a gain of 37. Williams, as he and Bucs wide-out Vincent Jackson did all day, burned Raiders cornerback Michael Huff on the catch.
The Bucs marched to the Raiders 4, and on second-and-goal, Williams beat Huff in the right corner of the end zone. Freeman hit him with a four-yard touchdown pass that gave Tampa Bay a 21-10 lead with 7:12 remaining in the third.
The Bucs got the ball back when cornerback Leonard Johnson intercepted a Palmer pass at the Tampa Bay 32. Two plays later, Martin shot over left tackle and sprinted 67 yards for a touchdown, putting the Bucs up 28-10 with 2:15 left in the third.

This is a cute rug I must say! The shag scared me a bit for I thought the vacuum would tear it up but it just glides right over. Anotehr great buy from Overstock!
I needed a rug to cover a cement slab where a wood stove used to be in the living room. This worked great. It's thick and cushioned with a rubber backing to keep it in place. The sage color matches my decor and feels soft to walk on with bare feet.
Just recived the rug yesterday-Very very nice-I put masking tape on the curled ends and this morning it lays right-I have it in my bath room and it looks fabulous-brings some luxury feeling!!!
While this rug looks great in the photo, its a piece of junk. I should have realized it would be when I saw the $$$ price tag. The rug has been rolled up for quite some time so it won't lie flat. I think it will take some serious manipulation to get the creases out. The backing is paper thin and the density of the rug fibers is way to sparse. Its anything but soft and plush as described in the product title. I was hoping to use this in our baby's nursery, but I will be returning this.
I read on the site that the product had a skid free backing. However, when it arrived and I put it on the floor, it was anything but skid free! Overstock refunded the amount minus the shipping, but I should not have had to pay for shipping on an item that was "not as described!"
I bought this rug for a reading corner in our preschool. It is perfect. The texture adds a plush coziness. We love it!
Im enjoying my rug it fits my room very well. I have wood floors and it complements it well.
I do like the color, it is not gold but a bright beige, it is soft enough for a synthetic. I paid *** would be a better purchase at $75.00, watch for discounts. I thought I was getting $10.00 off but in the end it wasn't deducted. Because the shag does not cover the edging it sometimes does not look perfectly round. Looks fine in my guest room.
puechased the 5' version in chocolate..tied the whole family room together and looks great. In hindsight i would have ordered a little larger but overall very pleased. I waouldn't call plush but it is soft enough.
Though it did describe the color as white the picture showed brown flecks and that is what I went by. Also the fact that it cost me $15 to return this item suggests I won't purchase from Overstock again.
