the rooms were clean and the area was quiet. I would highly recommend this place to others to stay
Our room was quiet, comfortable and newly redecorated. Good value for the price on a non ballgame summer weekend. Faintly smelled of smoke.
Creepy lobby and check-in.
Friendly staff. Convenient walk in from parking lot to room.
Bed linens were clean but had cigarette burns
The housekeeping staff would come prior to check-out time (2 hrs) and knock on the door to wake you up. Then, they would come into the room prior to check-out time when I was nude to make sure I was up. This violates privacy and breaks the customary practice of calling to check if the customer is extending their stay.
The rooms was spacious. The staff was friendly.
The walls was thin and you could hear everything. The light switch in the rooms where confusing.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Kids can "bake" and decorate Play-Doh cakes and put them on display with the Sweet Shoppe Frosting Fun Bakery. Cut the Play-Doh into one of four cake shapes, then add frosting and other shaped decorations using the extruder and the molds. Kids can also fill the cupcake liner with Play-Doh and decorate a pretend cupcake. When kids are done, they can display their creations on the domed cake stand, and then mash everything up and start all over.
The Frosting Fun Bakery comes with a 2-piece extruder, a shelf, a tray, a cake stand, a turntable, a display dome, four cake cutters, four extruder tips, a cupcake liner, a cake server, a plate, a plastic knife, a plastic fork, two cans of Play-Doh (purple and brown), and two cans of Play-Doh Plus (yellow and pink), which has a smoother, softer texture than traditional Play-Doh, perfect for making pretend frosting.
Preschoolers love food play, and they love Play-Doh. The two come together in this creative activity set. The finished product looks like the real thing, only not edible, of course. This is an easy-to-use set that engages kids in creativity, roleplay, and lots of fun food play.
The Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe Frosting Fun Bakery is for ages 3 and up.
Assembly is required. It took us five minutes to assemble this playset.
Attaching a cake cutter shape to the stamping station is kind of hard and requires a bit of force to snap the shape in place. Young kids might need help from mom and dad.

Teach for America program having success in area
By Katherine Miller
CROWLEY – Teach for America, a program that the South Louisiana area has had much success with in past years, will place 115 new teachers in classrooms this fall.
According to officials, the program will almost triple the number of teachers it brought to the region last year.
Last year, Teach for America in south Louisiana brought 40 new teachers, who plan to return for the upcoming school year, which brings the total number under the program to 155, informed Sarah Young, development manager for Teach America South Louisiana.
John Bourque, Acadia Parish superintendent, stated that area schools have had great success through the program, and praises its outcome.
"We definitely welcome any teachers from this organization," he added.
State Superintendent Paul Pastorek said of the program in a recent news release that it is "fuel to change the economy of South Louisiana."
Teach for America was developed in 1990, with an ongoing mission to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort. The vision is that one day, all children in the nation will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.
Under this program, recent college graduates and professionals are hired to teach for two years in low-income communities throughout the United States. Uncertified corps members also receive certification through coursework taken while completing the program.
Since its inception, 17,000 have participated, therefore impacting the lives of more than 2.5 million students. In a study published by the Urban Institute and the Calder Center in March 2008, it was found that "TFA teachers tend to have a positive effect on high school student test scores relative to non-TFA teachers, including those who are certified in-field. Such effects exceed the impact of additional years of experience and are particularly strong in math and science."

Without a doubt, it works rather well as a messaging device, but after carefully taking into consideration its pricing and list of features, it definitely seems overpriced for its value.
Reviews summary
Available through T-Mobile in the USA, the Samsung Gravity Smart runs Android 2.2 Froyo on a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen-equipped body with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities on-board. There's also a built-in 3MP camera that can be used to take pictures or record video. The phone comes in the familiar slide-out QWERTY keyboard form factor which makes it useful for easy text input for SMS or e-mail. A dedicated voicemail key is also available for quick checking of voicemails on the go. Email and instant messaging services are both supported as well to ensure you are always connected with the ones you care about.
The built-in camera, as mentioned earlier, offers a resolution of 3MP and takes decent quality pictures and videos with its flash, zoom, and other features like camera effects, white balance, self-timer, panorama, and scene modes. Audio and video playback are supported so you can listen to your favorite tracks and watch your favorite videos whenever you like. It lacks an FM radio, though, so you can skip that one. Nevertheless, you can always keep yourself entertained with pre-installed or downloadable games and applications. And you probably won't need to worry about running out space for all your downloads because the storage space is expandable up to 32GB with microSD cards.
One major downfall is the the lack of a document viewer. This might be enough to make some people reconsider, especially if they're thinking of being a little productive outside of the office. Other common complaints about this particular Android smartphone include lag experienced during use and the somewhat low quality touchscreen display.
So how about the fact that it comes free with a contract? Is that enough to make it likeable? Perhaps. If you can get over a few minor concerns then this might still be a good—or shall we say smart?—option for a someone who is out for a capable smartphone that is simple and easy to use.
Oh, and its available in Sapphire Blue, Lunar Gray, and Berry Red.
Need to Know: Samsung Gravity Smart
1. Offers combination of touchscreen display and QWERTY keyboard for input. (The Good)
2. Touchscreen display is not too small and offers decent native resolution. (The Good)
3. Ships with an older version of the Android software. (The Bad)
4. Tends to be a bit slow during usage sometimes. (The Bad)
Specs summary
The Samsung Gravity Smart's screen is 3.2 inches with 360 x 480 pixels resolution.
There is a Qualcomm MSM7227 600 MHz processor (CPU).
The phone runs on the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system (OS).
Internal memory is 89 MB. An external, MicroSD, MicroSDHC (up to 32 GB) expansion slot is available for increased storage capacity.
The phone is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), 1500 mAh battery. Samsung's performance ratings are 24 days standby time, 558 minutes (2G), 330 minutes (3G).

Watchful Eye Mini-Storage - Apache Junction, AZ - Phone: (480) 373-9226
Nowadays corrugated fiber board primarily is made of outer flat sheets of puncture resistant paper, by sandwiching a corrugated short fiber paper in the center which resists crushing under compression and provides cushioning protection to the box's contents. The old corrugated boxes are outstanding source of fiber for recycling in Apache Junction. As a result they can be crushed and baled for cost effective transport to anywhere. Corrugated fiber board is made on high-precision machinery lines known as corrugators. The manufactures of corrugated boxes are generally done for shipping containers. One should not forget that the recycling of corrugated fiber boxes helps countries build a paper and packaging industry without sustainable wood resources.

Mom's Seasoned Pretzels.
Baked hard pretzels seasoned with lemon pepper, dill, and garlic powder. You will not be able to stop snacking on these!
It has only taken me two years to share this lip-smacking recipe with you.
My mom makes a huge batch of seasoned pretzels every Christmas. Between the caramel corn, chocolates, and sugar cookies – having something a little salty to munch on is just what the doctor ordered. Mom always makes a double batch. Because… you have to.
Ladies and gents, snack time just got a whole lot better.
I made these pretzels on Saturday morning and they are already gone. Keep in mind there's only two of us. Pretzels may or may not have been my Sunday morning running fuel. And post workout snack. And Sunday night snack while watching Armageddon on TV. (favorite part: animal cracker scene.)
Trust me when I say that once you start snacking on these pretzels, you won't stop snacking on these pretzels. They are that good.
The recipe is simple. Thoughtless, really. You need pretzels, spices, and oil. I've adjusted the spices slightly because mom likes to add some ranch seasoning powder to the batch. I opted to make them without it, but feel free to use some – I noted that in the recipe below.
I use Snyders large pretzels. Any large, crunchy pretzels that look like this when broken up will be fine. I don't like to use thinner pretzels because they don't hold onto the spices like these. I use a 13.5 box/bag of them. Any box/bag that is 12-16 oz should be just fine. Break the pretzels up into pieces and place in a large zipped-top bag. (Yes, a bag. Very little dishes with this recipe!)
Now comes the fun part. Time to spice 'em up. I use a blend of lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dill. Not the best for your breath, but that's what toothbrushes are for. 😉 Sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne if I'm feeling jazzy. That's up to you! I left it as an option in the recipe.
Pour the spices into the bag and then add oil. The oil is what will make the spices stick and gives the pretzels a nice toasty flavor. My mom used to use 1 cup, but we find that 3/4 cup is the perfect amount. 1 cup left them much too oily and greasy tasting. So, use a scant 3/4 cup of oil.
Once everything is added to your big zipped top bag, give it a nice shake. Then shake some more. (This is fun if you have little bakers eager to help!) Shake them up real good! You want every single piece completely smothered in spices. The ones with the most spices taste the best, trust me.
Bake the pretzels on a low oven temperature for 50 minutes. Stir them around a few times. Let the pretzels cool before digging in. Huge test of your self control waiting for them to cool off.
The pretzels keep for quite a long time, so they're a wonderful make ahead recipe for parties or when you're expecting guests.
I know my mom is VERY excited that I'm sharing this recipe with you today. (Hi mom!) She already stocked up on some spices to make them again over Christmas. We'll also be making this on Christmas morning. Yes!
These pretzels are completely, hopelessly, and infinitely addicting. Snack on!

Seasoned Pretzels
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Baked hard pretzels seasoned with lemon pepper, dill, and garlic powder. You will not be able to stop snacking on these!
- 1 bag hard pretzels (anywhere from a 12 - 16 oz bag is fine)
- 3/4 cup oil (canola, vegetable, olive)
- 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons lemon pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dill weed
- optional other spices - see notes
Preheat oven to 200F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Break the pretzels into pieces. Place them in a large zipped-top bag. Add the oil and the spices. Shake it all together very well. Sometimes I shake it, let it sit for a minute, and shake it again. You want every piece coated very well. If you find there aren't enough spices coating the pretzels, add more spices to your tastes. Sometimes I add up to 2 full Tbsp of the lemon pepper.
Spread the pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet. If they don't all fit in a single layer, use two sheets. Bake for 50 minutes, making sure to stir the pretzels around two or three times during baking. Remove front he oven and allow to cool.
Pretzels stay fresh covered tightly at room temperature for 3 weeks. They won't last that long!
Additional Notes:
*Sometimes mom adds 1 packet of Hidden Valley dry ranch seasoning. If you choose to do this, reduce the spices to as follows: 1 teaspoon lemon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dill weed.
*Sometimes I add up to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a little heat. Add however much you can stand!
*Sometimes I add 1 teaspoon onion powder and reduce garlic powder to 1 teaspoon.

Oh goodness, Sally… I can NEVER buy seasoned pretzels from the store because I go through the entire bag by myself in a day. A single day! (Well, unless my guy is around… Then we fight over them a little bit.) These look so perfect, especially with that garlic powder. And the kick of cayenne sounds so good!
So sweet of you to share your mom's special recipe. She must be really super proud of you and what you've done with your blog. You made it your full-time job, you wrote a cookbook, you have thousands of adoring fans making your recipes… Her heart must be bursting with joy!
SALLY! I have no idea why this post hasn't received FIVE BAJILLION comments but it definitely SHOULD. I just baked up a batch of these SINCOVERED PRETZELS and they were the best part of my weekend.
Wanting DESPERATELY to be as cool as your mom, I wanted to add a packet of Ranch seasoning but all I had in stock was SPICY RANCH. Man alive! That took these pretzels to a whole new level of ARE-YOU-KIDDING-ME-THIS-IS-AWESOME! And I'd comment more but I'm dashing off to make another batch. (No, that's not a joke. This is my life. EATING ENTIRELY TOO MUCH is what I do best!) You're the devil; you're an angel; I can't decide, but I'd be more than OK with more recipes for SNACKITTY SNACKS like this. YES. Hello, stretch pants.
I have been dying to make these ever since I stumbled upon the recipe the other night and I finally did. Everything is true! They are unbelievably good! I will be trying the different additions in the next few weeks. Hello, Super Bowl? Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and I look forward to trying more of your recipes!
love the recipe and the taste is fabulous. my question is how long can the seasoned pretzels last? I made huge batches of it because I was going to give away to neighbors, but had lots left over since I missed seeing several of them. It's now over 2 months and I still have the pretzels. Can it still be eaten? Should I throw them away? Does the oil in them get rancid? I tried looking up expiration dates for this, but it only lists plain store-bought pretzels. Help!

Hands of Christ, a nonprofit Presbyterian ministry, had begun its 13th year of free school supplies and uniform clothes giveaway to thousands of local children in need.
Between Thursday and Friday, several boxes containing 372 pairs of pants disappeared from the Westminster Presbyterian Church on Sam Rittenberg Boulevard, according to a police report.
Jim Frye, one of the organizers and longtime volunteers of the campaign reported the pants stolen and told investigators the pants were kept in an office room and in the gymnasium of the church.
The pants had recently been purchased for the giveaway, which started Saturday and is being held in Charleston, Colleton, Berkeley, Dorchester and Williamsburg county churches.
Frye estimates it will cost the organization about $3,800 to restock the pants. The ministry expects to help potentially 5,200 children this year.
For more information or to donate items or volunteer, call Westminster Presbyterian at 766-8311.

The Cumbee Center to Assist Abused Persons on Thursday held a candlelight vigil to remember victims of domestic violence, and a benefit on Sunday will help cover the funeral expenses of two of those victims.
Sheltering the flames of their candles with cupped hands against the wind on Thursday afternoon, several people paused next to the fountain on Newberry Street as part of an annual candlelight vigil to mark criminal domestic violence awareness, which is observed during the month of October.
The vigil typically follows a scavenger hunt, during which participants go to businesses downtown and, at each stop, receive a clue or fact concerning domestic violence in South Carolina. The scavenger hunt was called off due to lack of participation and the weather.
At the vigil were a picture of former Aiken resident Ashley Kaney, 26, and her 8-year-old daughter, Riley Burdick.
Kaney and Burdick were from Aiken but moved to Summerville about a year ago. They were found murdered in their home earlier this month, the result of what investigators determined was "an isolated act of domestic violence."
The funerals for the mother and daughter were held two weeks ago.
"Aiken United for Ashley and Riley: A Domestic Violence Awareness Benefit," will be held Sunday in honor of Kaney and Burdick.
The event will be from 4 to 8 p.m. at The Red Pepper restaurant on Silver Bluff Road, where Kaney worked at one point. There will be live music, food and drinks and a silent auction.
Admission will be $30 for individuals and $50 for couples. Admission sales and donations through the Aiken Unite for Ashley and Riley website will go toward funeral expenses for Kaney and Burdick.
For more information, call Sarah Tuccitto, volunteer and events coordinator for the Cumbee Center at 803-649-0480, or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.aikenunitedforashleyandriley.com.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime and courts beat for the Aiken Standard.
He has been with the newspaper since August 2012. He is a native of Williston and majored in communication studies at Clemson University.
WHAT: Aiken United
for Ashley and Riley: A Domestic Violence Awareness Benefit
WHEN: Sunday from 4 to 8 p.m.
WHERE: The Red Pepper, 752-A Silver Bluff Road
COST: $30 for individuals and $50 for couples

Retirement Is an Ongoing Process of Discovery -- Be Informed About the Many Opportunities and Challenges Waiting for You!
Received a starred review in Library Journal:
"The beauty of retiree Price's book is its simplicity—one can pick a chapter and find a latent interest that could be developed, from building a bird house to quitting smoking. Price gives the reader the opportunity to do that by providing the idea, the opportunity potential, and the resources for getting started. The title doesn't do the book justice; it's an inspirational guide that will provoke people of all ages to engage in new ventures and discover what life can offer." —Library Journal (October 2009)
Using your mind and body, and interacting with others are keys to a happy and healthy retirement life. Yes, good genes and money help, too; but you can't pick your ancestors, and your financial situation is whatever you have made it. Successful retirees strive to live each day to the fullest, exercise their minds and bodies, and challenge themselves to continue to learn and grow personally.
The Successful Retirement Guide will assist retirees in identifying activities that will help them remain intellectually, socially and physically engaged with life—whatever their financial resources. Readers will discover:
- The importance of being intellectually, socially and physically engaged during your retirement years
- Hundreds of ways to keep your mind exercised and challenged
- How to build a supportive social network while participating in fun and rewarding programs
- Numerous ways to exercise your body that are right for you—without the need to join a gym or health club
- How to identify activities that will enable you to live each day to the fullest
- Prescreened books, websites and other sources of information for activities you can pursue in greater depth
- Checklists to help you select the activities that are right for you
Praise for The Successful Retirement Guide--
"The Successful Retirement Guide by author Kevin Price provides a wealth of information to help identify the activities that will help you remain intellectually, socially and physically engaged with life, regardless of your resources. The 344-page book is loaded with ideas and opportunities to explore ways to make your retirement a successful one.
"It is a book about learning, appreciating, growing, playing, making and giving back. It also discusses the reason for doing these things beyond the simple enjoyment they may bring. The book reviews hundreds of ideas for engaging retirement activities in an educational and entertaining fashion and provides references to sources of additional information. Following the introductory material it uses an alphabetical organizational format to present the ideas. It can be read at length but it is also easy to read in short sittings.
"For most of the hundreds of activities listed there are references - books, magazines, web sites and other resources that can provide additional information. The book has five appendices: Life Expectancy Calculators, Senior Olympics, Collectibles, Veterans' Organizations, and Volunteer Considerations and Opportunities." —Retirement Living News (June 2009)

Free software
Summary page of Drupal's main features
Some of Drupal's features include multi-user editing, an advocacy component, flexibility and configurability, multi-lingual support, a strong and dedicated developer community, as well as a vibrant community of users.
From theorising about the media to coalition building around free software
The Foundation for Media Alternatives was one of the groups that pushed to have a community-focussed track at the latest Linux World Philippines. The programme listed themes like free and open source software in government, health and education. The FMA then helped create an open coalition. More recently, this APC member has also backed up a bid to set up a regional node of the International Open Source Network.
The software challenge? How to popularise Indic solutions with users
Indian language computing solutions in free/libre and open source software is "doing fine" but needs better documenting and packaging. It also needs to find sufficient numbers of users. There is a lot of potential for regional, cross-country cooperation in this field in South Asia, a region in urgent need of solutions to its computing challenges. This interview with Sarai.net, the Delhi-based new media initiative, also self-defined as a "space for research, practice and conversation about the contemporary media and urban constellations", explores these challenges.
A computer for Africa, will it work?
A computer that's encased in wood to resist tropical temperatures and consumes thirty times less electricity than the standard PC? The "Solo"
a unique computer that fights rural Africa's heat, dust and unreliable power supply is being tested in Nigeria and will be ready for commercial production shortly. APCNews interviews Ochuko Onoberhie, a technician from APC member the Fantsuam Foundation, responsible for testing the Solo.
APC members see FOSS as route to building skills, sharing knowledge
APC member-organisations, who responded to a survey, see free/libre and open source software (FOSS) as an opportunity to learn new skills and share knowledge. They also see non-proprietary software as an "important form of co-operation" or being capable of "reducing desktop costs".
FOSS breaks many walls... but not among the genders?
FOSS, or free/libre and open source software, has dramatically changed the way software is produced, distributed, supported and used. It has a visible impact on enabling a richer social inclusion. But how has it allowed the gender problem existing in the software industry to be replicated in the world of FOSS? Amsterdam-based Taiwanese researcher Yuwei Lin lists seven reasons why women stay off FOSS — including its strong long-hour coding culture, a lack of mentors and role-models, discriminatory language (including in documentation), a gendered text-based environment, a lack of women-centered views in FOSS-development, a male-dominated competitive worldview, and the lack of sympathy from woman peers.
Share your experiences of shifting to FOSS, says Shuttleworth
As part of his Asian tour to promote free/libre and open source software (FOSS), the techie-millionaire founder of the Ubuntu Linux Foundation Mark Shuttleworth spent a day in Manila on February 2 to meet with different sectors of the ICT industry in the country.
Khmer software initiative: an APC member takes language solutions to 13 million
"2005 has been a good year for KhmerOS, and, we hope, for Cambodia's technological future," says APC member Open Forum Cambodia, writing out of the southeast Asian kingdom of 13 million. Here's an update of their project to create a Khmer-language solution in computing.
Africa Source II makes befriending FOSS a real treat
Women'sNet's training co-ordinator Elizabeth "Liz" Araujo writes that the recent Africa Source 2 event was set "against a beautiful Lake Victoria island backdrop, replete with sandy beaches, and fishing boats", and turned out to be a "smashing success". Held from January 8-15, 2006, the skills-packed practical workshop was aimed at introducing and exploring free/libre and open source software (FOSS) for non-profit organisations and local African communities. She says that what made this camp radically different from other technology-focused workshops was the almost natural seeming integration of novice, occasional user and high-end techie.
In Brazil, a threat to the telecentres turns into an opportunity... for improvement
When an intiative in Brazil to promote community telecentres was endangered, the threat was turned into an opportunity. Free Software tools were re-engineered in a way that they became more powerful and useful. Telecenters that are part of a telecentre-network can use the new system to allow roaming accounts between telecenters. So, a user can create an account on a telecenter in one city and go to other city and login with his original account, without having to make another profile for him on the new telecenter.

Carbohydrates, also called saccharides, are a main type of food nutrient. This nutrient is composed of molecules containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These molecules are found in a variety of foods ranging from simple table sugar to vegetables, nuts and grains. Carbohydrates are a necessary component of a healthy and balanced diet because these substances are your body's main source of energy. Certain types of carbohydrates called dietary fibers have a separate function, serving to help move food efficiently through the digestive system.
Primary Function
Carbohydrates are the primary sources of energy in your body. These substances raise your blood glucose -- or sugar -- levels. Your body then uses this sugar to supply energy to its cells, tissues and organs. The sugar that is not immediately used by your body is stored in your muscles and liver for later use.
Carbohydrates fall into two main categories: simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates are also called sugars and are easily converted to glucose by your body. Sugars are found naturally in foods such as fruits, vegetables and milk products. They are also an added ingredient to many products. For example, table sugar is used in many processed foods and desserts.
Complex Carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates called starches also provide energy to the body through increasing glucose. However, these substances take longer to break down in the body than do simple carbohydrates. This slower processing allows for a steady release of glucose into the blood, preventing quick spikes of blood sugar levels followed by lows. Starches are found in vegetables such as potatoes, corn and peas and in whole grains.
Second Function
Dietary fibers are a second type of complex carbohydrates. They do not provide energy as they cannot be digested by your body. However, this material provides a different, second vital function for health. Fiber pushes food and excess fat through the intestines and adds bulk to this material that will eventually be eliminated as feces. This bulk enables your stool to move effectively through the digestive system. The action of dietary fibers helps prevent constipation and aids in avoiding heart disease development. Foods high in dietary fiber include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains. Complex carbohydrates that contain both starch and dietary fiber should make up the majority of your daily carbohydrate intake.

How are designs turned into products? What resources, materials and methods are used and what set of activities goes under the heading of 'manufacturing'? This free course will introduce manufacturing as a system and will describe some of the many different ways of making products. We will illustrate how the required properties of the materials in a product influence the choice of manufacturing process used.
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- explain the difference between industrial and engineering design with reference to familiar products; and for specific products explain whether it is the product's form or its function that enhances its value in the marketplace

"Naturally theres a strong Garda presence .. they are stealing OUR natural resources .. and the priority of the guards is to protect criminal filth like them."
Anti-Corrib Gas Shell to Sea protesters invaded the offices of Mayo County Council yesterday and disrupted the annual general meeting of the authority for almost three-quarters of an hour by playing a high-pitched noise on a tape recorder.
The protesters said the noise was a recording of what they said they had to endure over the bank holiday weekend in the Glengad/Pollathomas area as Corrib Gas developers Shell EP Ireland carried out test work.
Gardaí were called and maintained a watch on the proceedings but there was no attempt to remove the protesters from the packed chamber and there were no arrests. The Shell to Sea protest group, which included prominent activist Maura Harrington, left Áras an Chontae after about an hour.

Parents avoid jail for beating woman in street
Published 24/01/2013 | 05:00
TWO parents who assaulted a woman in front of their son (7) have avoided jail after paying €5,000 to their victim.
Karen Hedderman (28), of Aster Court, Keyes Park, Limerick; and her partner, Mark Crawford (35), of O'Malley Park, Southill, Limerick, appeared in Limerick Circuit Criminal Court. They both pleaded guilty to assaulting Mary Moloney on April 28, 2011.
The crime took place while they were walking with their seven-year-old son in the busy shopping street at 11am.
Ms Moloney sustained a broken nose, two black eyes, a loosened tooth and bruising.
There is a history of difficulties between the parties.
Judge Moran suspended a three-year sentence for the parents and bound them to the peace for three years.
