Rated 5 out of 5Â by Barb78 Great Gift Gave each of 3 grandsons these hats. Two of them loved the hat. The third "only wears ball hats". His went to another person. January 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rosabel The Christmas of the Hats This year I bought 15 caps and gave them to the younger members of the extended family. Everyone loved theirs both male and female. and some took a picture and sent it along. Then some of the older set wanted one too. So I did my best with that. Needless to say, IT WAS A HIT! January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Didee Couldn't wait to receive this cap! Have had these woolrich caps for years and lost mine when we moved last year. How happy am I to find it in your catalog....?? Warm and cozy..that's what I am now!! Thanks! January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LilSis Great for Women too!!!!!!!!!! For the purpose of keeping head and ears warm, this wool watch cap works really well for women too. Just so glad that Vermont Country Store still has available items us "oldies" grew up with. April 10, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by memories of old Ragg Wool Watch Cap - One Size Does Not Fit All Ordered this hat for my husband, and I liked the quality construction of the hat. It seems like it would be warm, so it was worth a try. Unfortunately it slid up and off his ears immediately when he tried it on, and he said, "send it back". It may work for someone with a smaller head, but he normally takes a very average Large or Extra Large size in hats. This one just didn't work out for his needs. It is a handsome hat though. April 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Gene G. Happy with product I am happy with the product but was disapointed to see that it was made in china December 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JPB Great, Warm Hat! Very warm, comfortable hat. I've tried other hats of this type, including others costing much more--this is the one I would recommend most. February 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Winter songbird WARM! I'm a woman but I bought this for me because I'm so freezing this winter! I love it. Fits nicely, very warm, nice solid weight. It's a little itchy but I washed it in cold water and hung to dry and the itch went away. Very happy to walk the dog and stay warm in this. Great purchase. Happy with my toasty hat. Now I just have to make sure my husband doesn't steal it. January 30, 2014

Picture: Chris Brown arrives at his lawyer's office in downtown Los Angeles with his bodyguards after he pleaded not guilty to two felony chargesLos Angeles, California...
Chris Brown has blasted reports he is dating an ex-girlfriend just weeks after his split from Rihanna.
The R&B star broke up with the Umbrella hitmaker after their well-publicised bust-up in Los Angeles in February (09).
Brown is facing two felony charges of assault and making criminal threats in relation to the incident - but gossips have frequently speculated the couple is back together.
But a new report suggests the singer has moved on from Rihanna - he was allegedly spotted out in Los Angeles with his ex Erica Jackson.
The student dated Brown several years ago, and a source tells the New York Daily News they got back together a few weeks ago.
The newspaper alleges Brown and Jackson were seen visiting a Los Angeles tattoo parlour on Saturday (11Apr09).
But a spokesman for Brown denies any romance: "He did go to a tattoo parlour with someone from the studio named Dean. There was a woman there who was a friend of Dean. There is no truth to this at all. Chris does not know the woman nor does he know the name of the woman.

"The Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine is an outstanding product! For 7.5 years I was taking a liquid competitor which was grand but I found Wellesse and am proud to tell everyone I know about it. Most of my friends have started taking it. Those who took the competitor have switched and I am gradually weaning my Glucosamine pill taking friends to the Wellesse liquid. Our economy is facing challenging times. So it is more important than ever to find service and products that are on top of their game. This product hits the bar and I will say my bar is extremely high. First, liquids are fast absorbing – Done! Second, many of us read labels increasingly to manage our own health. This product has more of the efficacious ingredients than many any of its competitors which is huge and creates significant value to the user from a cost perspective. Thank you Wellesse for keeping your own bar high! Third, if one is really reading the labels try to find a pill that has all three ingredients of Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM and now Hyaluronic Acid. To the extent that you do – I assure you, the dosages are not equal unless you take several pills and frankly who wants to choke down more of the same giant pill and increase cost? Fourth, this product is fairly priced. I find it incumbent to support a product that creates this much value for its users from both cost and dosage perspective. This product is a market leader! Now the fun part: I am not just a wee fan of this product, I take it every day and woudn't go without it. I support this product because I put it to extreme tests. I am a skeleton athlete and not a 20 yr. old one at that – I am 50 yrs old and competitive. As a skeleton athlete my neck and body can face up to 5 Gs' of pressure on in some curves. This is sometimes more than what an astronaut in take-off faces. I am in extreme cold at up to -10 degrees in a speedo standing on ice then sliding in a tunnel of ice at up to 80+MPR. I strongly recommend anyone to try it who is having stiff mornings, tight and creaking joints or that popping sound that does not really mean much and yet it does as our joints get a bit older and seem to talk more often! Outstanding product quality! Thank you Best regards and Yours in ICE, APrata – Skeleton Athlete Age 50!"
"I have used Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine for over 15 years. I am 50 years old and have joint discomfort from head to toe. In spite of that I am at the gym 3-5 days a week. I am able to do all of it because of this product, when I have run out, my joint discomfort increases."
"I began using the Joint Movement Glucosamine less than a month ago. The results I have felt especially in my lower back are amazing. This product is fantastic. Now I can bend and work in my backyard, do fast walking, etc. Thank you for this amazing product."
"I am 86 years old and would like to express how happy I am to have your product Wellesse Glucosamine. About 6 months ago I noticed this product in the store and decided to try it. This product has also helped my wife."
"I have used Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine for the past seven years. I am convinced I have a beneficial affect from it and find the liquid form very easy to take."
"At 72 I have been using pill form of glucosamine for over 10 years but by chance at Costco I saw your product. The pills often gave me an upset stomach plus the volume of pills was a pain. After one bottle of Wellesse Glucosamine I was hooked, no stomach upset, easy to swallow. Now after years on your product I feel great. I've changed the minds of friends for your product and they also noticed a difference. Thank you!"
"Your Glucosamine Supplement was a major reason that I was able to train at the level I needed to in order to compete in the OCB Midwest States Bodybuilding Competition. I'm 52 years old and took 2nd place in the Men's Physique division. I competed against athletes of all ages. Thanks so much for such a fantastic product. I recommend it to everyone! We even give it to our 15 year old dog!"
"For over 5 years I have been using Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine and I now live a very active life due to this product. My doctor recommended I use it, and I'm happy to say I've not had any other knee discomfort since."
"Wellesse Liquid Joint Movement Glucosamine is fantastic!! Since I have been using your product, I find it much easier to walk up and down the stairs. I now go for long walks, where before I could only walk a block and had to stop and rest my knees. Thank you so very much - your product has made my life so much better!"
"Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine has helped me tremendously. I started by giving it to my dog with hip displaysia, great product - I am now able to walk 4-5 miles a day with her. I shared Wellesse JMG with my co-workers, challenging them to try it. It was a complete success and to date I have gotten over 12 people to use your product regularly."
"Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine keeps me moving and allows me to be busy doing chores, driving etc. It really works! "
"A friend gave me a bottle of Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine and after only one month, I felt so good that would never have thought of going to the doctor. Your supplement is unbelievable. I am now back sheep herding and tracking with my dog without using a cane. I really can't believe the difference. I also give my dogs (2 older Collie and a young Border Collie) a teaspoon a day and the old ones are moving without any stiffness."
"I am a 53 year old retired Metro Drug Detective - I have had bone on bone in my knee and many other joint injuries in the course of my career. I have been on some form of glucosamine/chondroitin for 12 years, and in the last 3 years discovered and have been taking your Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine. I whole heartedly believe in your your product and have referred it to several friends and family. They rely on me to get it for them in the value size 33.8 oz. at Costco.com "
"Since the age of 16, I have suffered lower back issues with many episodes of immobility. Physical therapy just didn't make any improvements. After I retired, I found Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine - three months later, I am good! I have recommended it to many other family and friends and they've had the same good results."
"I've tried other major brand glucosamine supplements, and Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine is far superior to them all. The berry flavor tastes great, and after about seven days I felt quite a bit better. I take it on an empty stomach when I first wake up. I have gotten some friends to try it too and they said how unbelievable it is that they feel better in such a short time. They all want me to buy them bottles when I go to Costco in Detroit. Keep up the good work!"
"For over 10 years I have had sore knees and hands and took calcium and glucosamine pills and it helped some. Then my son got me a bottle of Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine. It tasted good and soon I was more flexible in fingers and both knees and ankles. So I want to say thanks. At age 75 it is nice to be flexible and in almost no discomfort now."
"The discomfort in my knees began 25 years ago when I was a fireman. I did a lot of jogging and we were required to do a bench exercise which caused my knees to swell. I spent four years and could not sleep. I started taking the liquid Joint Movement Glucosamine and it took about 4 months to really help me. I now can walk all day long. I would like all my friends and family to start taking the Liquid (Joint Movement Glucosamine)."
"My neck has ached regularly for years. I so hated the huge glucosamine tablets that I quit taking them about 6 months ago. It got even worse. I decided to try Wellesse Liquid Glucosamine and researched consumer reviews. After 3 months I have NO discomfort and can turn my head from side to side without thinking. And it didn't take that long to work!"
"About 5 years ago I was told that I had joint problems by my doctor in my left knee and that I should take Glucosamine pills. I did for 3 years with hardly any improvement. Last year friends showed me Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine and told me that it helped them. I was elated the discomfort eased and my knee improved. Since using Wellesse Glucosamine my discomfort is less."
"I have been suffering from joint discomfort the last fifteen years. I am 65 years old and have tried every product on the market. I cannot thank you enough. I use it daily!"
"I love this product (Joint Movement Glucosamine Liquid). I tried Wellesse Glucosamine and within weeks the discomfort was less. I now walk one mile a day plus other exercises."
"I had knee surgery back in 2009 for ACL and still my knee kept reminding me that it never going to be normal. I started using Wellesse Liquid Glucosamine and noticed a difference! I am able to ski again a passion of mine. I love the taste of it and it is very speedy in helping reduce discomfort. Thanks Wellesse! You're the best!"
"Finally I found a Glucosamine with Chondroitin! I've used the capsule but they did not work as much as the liquid. I could not bend my fingers at all and now it's amazing. The stiffness is all gone. I would recommend that anyone try this product - Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine Liquid."
"I have been buying the Liquid Glucosamine product for over 4 years and WILL continue. I want to congratulate you for the delicious new flavor. I do recommend this product to anyone I hear that has joint problems - even strangers!"
"After using Liquid Glucosamine I felt relief in my knees, elbows and back. I was so pleased with the results that I have told all my friends about your product."
"I have been using your Liquid Glucosamine for over a year. I suffered from back and hip discomfort. After a short time taking it, no more. I like taking the liquids since it is absorbed more quickly than pills. I highly recommend your products to my family and friends."
"My husband and I have used the Liquid Glucosamine for a few years now. If we go for more than 3 days without it, our joints begin to cause us some difficulties. We would not want to be without it! Thanks, you have made our lives livable."
"After over four years of trying pills, injections, and more, your product after a few days gave me relief from my discomfort in my legs. It has helped at least 95%. My doctor asked me for your name and product to tell his patients as well!"
"...Now that I am in my mid 40's, my joint problems are flaring up again. My husband discovered your product (Glucosamine) and brought it home for me to try. Not only does it work but my range of motion has improved. Thank you for such quality health and wellness products."
"My husband and I are avid runners. Before using Wellesse Liquid Glucosamine my knees were stiff and my joints ached. After a recommendation from a fellow runner we tried Wellesse Glucosamine supplement and we no longer have any issues!...we highly recommend it to anyone, especially active athletic people of all ages."
"My husband has severe discomfort in his ankles and has taken medication for years. I just wanted to let you know that he now takes nothing but the Wellesse (Joint Movement Glucosamine). He has no discomfort and takes no other meds at all. We both want to thank you and Wellesse for this! Your products are wonderful. I take the calcium in addition and recommend both products all the time. His discomfort was so bad, even with the meds, he could sometimes not go to places where we had to walk any appreciable distance. Now we walk all the time. By the way, he is 81!"
"I love the ease of taking the Joint Movement Glucosamine, no huge pills to swallow! I have relief in my knee joints, neck and back and if I go without it my discomfort level increases."
"About a year ago I started having rouble with my right knee, unable to bend...A friend recommended Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine liquid and within a few weeks I'm able to do more things that I couldn't do before and I feel much better. Thank you Wellesse, I love you!"
"In response from my doctor about my lower back discomfort and joint movement areas, she said 'Try this' (Joint Movement Glucosamine Liquid)...Within weeks time I had positive results. The relief I was hoping for manifested itself.""
"Very pleasing was the ease of neck and shoulder turning making driving much more safe and comfortable. Unable to take pills so liquids are a big plus."
"We do like your Wellesse products. My adult children also take your products, because of our recommendation and succesful results I have had. My husband and I faithfully take the needed products and at 83 & 84 years of age, we stand tall and straight with good joints! Kudos to you and Wellesse!"
"All the other products I've tried just weren't that effective. Wellesse is undoubtedly efficacious."
"I have had joint discomfort for years and had taken glucosamine chondroitin pills for years with no relief. Recently my left leg was worse and I limped for weeks. A friend of mine told me about Wellesse Liquid Glucosamine. I took it and the discomfort was gone. I haven't had any discomfort since. I'm on my second bottle. I want to thank you from my heart for making such a wonderful product!"
"After trying tablet forms of glucosamine chondroitin products for about three years, I had a sample of Wellesse Liquid Glucosamine at a Sam's Club and was told that the liquid form absorbed more readily. I have used it since then, about two and a half years. I have not experienced joint discomfort since then. I am 80 years old now."
"I enjoy using the Wellesse Liquid Joint Movement Glucosamine primarily because it is liquid and palatable as opposed to the large pills that were difficult to swallow. The glucosamine has eased the discomfort in my joints for years."
"I want to thank you for your Wellesse product (Joint Movement Glucosamine Liquid). I have used it for three years and my joint discomfort has almost disappeared. I can hike and walk without discomfort. I have taken it for three years and always recommend it to friends with similar conditions. Bless You!"
"I wanted to let you know that taking the Liquid Joint Movement Glucosamine in the morning and evening by splitting up the dosage has worked for me. I am in the seventh week of doing it this way and I can tell you my discomfort level has gone from a 12 to a 2. I can not tell you what a benefit this has been to me. My problem is in my middle fingers on both hands."
"I have bone loss and was told by my doctor to take extra calcium and Wellesse tasted better than some others. I also take Wellesse Glucosamine to relieve shoulder discomfort."

Lyric Meaning
A reference to the earlier line "Get Smart Again." Presumably Heems has gotten smarter since that line.
"Looking smart" also means to be dressed well, and since the full line is "Smarter in a Start Jacket," he could also mean it that way.

England – Thousands of unfilled jobs in 'Tech City' highlights skills shortage
There are more than 4,700 unfilled jobs in East London's start-up Mecca; Tech City, highlighting the problems new firms are facing when looking for talented staff, reports V3.co.uk. The number of job openings have increased by +44% compared with last year.
While the number of positions is good news for graduates from technology-based courses, for businesses it is a significant challenge to hire staff with the necessary skills. Furthermore, start-ups are not just competing among themselves to find and retain talent, they must also compete with London's huge financial and retail companies.
James Haycock, co-founder and managing director of East London-based product development firm Adaptive Lab told V3 that his firm is constantly hiring in order to keep up. "It's competitive. One hundred yards down the road you've got banks which are paying +50% more, and there's actually not that many people who are great. There are smart people who have come out of university but they haven't got commercial experience, and there are people who are good but haven't been using best practices."
Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna, added: "Technology is actually one of the least competitive job sectors in the UK according to Adzuna's data, with far more jobs available than applicants. The problem lies in the graduate IT market. British employers are often looking for candidates with specific coding skillsets; such as SQL, Ruby, HTML, Python, and are hesitant to take on new graduates without work experience in these areas."
Mr Hunter did however maintain that the news also shows UK tech is going through a boom phase, demonstrating the strength of the government's Tech City backing.
Nonetheless, Tech City acts as a good barometer for the tech industry as a whole, and reflects the need for businesses to take on technology apprentices, as well as grassroots-level computing education.

I think this is Apple's Vista. I have the same problem with Safari that you do. I clear my history after every browsing session, so it opens to a blank page instead of my homepage.
Battery life is low with Lion, a significant decrease from SL.
I realize that this is .0 release, but it is frustrating.

totally frustrating.. rather keep it unreleased a little longer than releasing this..

Hey Steve,
My list is shorter, but no less frustrating - albeit I already expected these things when I got it - first time major releases are buggy as crap in the first month. While the software is tested with developers it's the "real world" day to day users that find all the little s__t problems.
- jagged file menus with video "artifacts" (dock too)
- spotlight opens but won't close
- can't quit Safari sometimes
- can't Migrate Assistant from Leopard to Lion
As far as "rolling back" - someone elsewhere mentioned installing Snow Leopard on an external drive and booting from that. I'm going to try partitioning that hard drive and installing Leopard on it (I have legacy apps I need to use still). Keep in mind an installation of an additional partition if you have Boot Camp installed routinely fubars that (you need to boot into MS Recovery and fixmbr to re-establish the master boot record). Lion does appear to support booting from USB drives so working on playing with that and will see what it gets me. Sorry can't be of more help (yet).

in response to Steverose798
here are my problems with MBP:
1. sometime it refuses to shutdown (infinite spinning wheel with grey background.) It even happens if you restart from the loggin windows (without user login).
2. desktop icons disappear. show info will fix it, but it's annoying.
3. indexing my hd 3 times a day. Isn't one enough?
4. can't clean install. problem with installation process.
5. Dock and desktop spaces disappear. Need to restart to fix it. wait, sometime it will not restart (problem 1).
6. sometime it takes 2-4 mins for it to go to sleep (close the lid). when it wakes up, network is messed up and need to restart (problem 1 again).
7 something wrong with Lion remembering passwords. My mail apps keep asking my email passwords, after I entered them many times. Lion doesn't seen too smart.
8. safari is a bit slow. especailly with flash...
9. mission control can freeze and needs restart (problem 1 again!!!)
10. my MBP is HOT HOT HOT, even not indexing. It was a lot cooler when I ran Snow Leopard and graphic rendering.
11. maybe more coming after I play with it...
I cleaned up /Library/Caches, and repaired permission. It worked for a day and bugs came back . I thought Apple tested it before releasing.
a very disappointed customer

i have one problem:
time machine icon on the desktop is still there after time machine finishes backups (this happens over 50% of the times a backup is made, so it happens several times for day...)...
Also, lots of complains about time capsule takes 20 times longer for backups than on Snow Leopard....
Please fix this apple, i am backing up things all day now, and that icon stays there most of the times... (have to manually eject).

I will stop the Lion rollout and wish I could go back to SL.
Scroll Bars are often not availabel untill you start scrolling via mouse and gestures, I would like to see a always visible scroll bar as it used to be.
The whole UI is a big step backwards in my eyes, the new site bar with everything grey in grey is bad (lucky I use PathFinder).
Calendar lost the site bar, again with many calendards quite a step backwards in userfriendliness and again you just cant point click and scroll you need to use gestures to make scroll bars appear.

1. Webproces takes all CPU.
2. Screensaver occasionally starts.
3. Overall CPU utilisation high compared to SL.
4. With Parallels 6 - 12090 , my macbook pro freezes at start.
5. Till now my macbook pro hung thrice after moving to Lion.
6. Apple has broken the Time machine with Windows Shares.
Too Many issues with Lion, may be a smaller version of Vista from Apple. Dis appointing this time.

I have just spent a fruitless hour trying to fix the sleep problem on my MacMini (even tried resetting the SMC but it just refuses to sleep meaning my bluetooth keyboard and trackpad don't sleep either draining their batteries.
This is awful.
Looking at the new comments above, why don't apple give you a function similar to Windows where you can turn off all the new bells and whistles and make the machine work how it used to whilst still retaining any bug and security fixes the latest OS provides?
To me this seems like a real foot shooting excersise from Jobs and co and I really hope that fixes are on their way.
Keep the issues coming chaps and I will add anything else I find.
I have now got rid of Mail (as pretty as it is) and returned to webmail so that I can see all my incoming emails!

My issues so far:
1- Mission Control crashes. I dont know when it happens, but I will notice that my hot corners on the left work (launchpad, dashboard) but not those on the right (mission, show desktop). At that point I can no longer use Mission Control no matter how I try to activate it (hot corner, dock icon). Killing the dock in the terminal fixes it.
2- Itunes is not updating play counts over home share. Mac Mini 1.83 Core 2 Duo plays Mac Mini 2010's songs via Itunes Home Share option, but play counts dont get update on Mac Mini 2010 Itunes.
3- Log In Screen doesn't go to sleep. I've set up one of the Mac Mini's with two user accounts, each account auto logs off after 10 minutes and that works fine. However, the Log In Screen just stays there, I dont know if this is by design or not, but I though it would auto-sleep based on the main administrator's sleep settings.
4- Spaces, Expose all windows of course...

I co-hosted a "choo-choo" train themed baby shower for which I crafted train centerpieces for each table out of empty tissue boxes, formula cans, etc. and needed edible "favors" for each guest. I chose personalized chocolate bars with the baby's name and shower date, with wrappers in colors that matched our other decor, and stuck them out of the tops of the tissue box openings. What a hit with our guests!

About Military Electro Optical Infrared Systems
EO/IR systems are one of the important systems used by the militaries. EO/IR systems find its uses in various technologies which is positioned on target accordingly. Target intentionality decides the preference of the spectral bands. For instance, missile launch detection system relies on the exhaust of the missile, which yields large radiation in the ultraviolet spectral region. The spectral band choice is also influenced by the unexpected change in the atmospheric transmission and scattering.

Laurence "Larry" Goodman (born 15 September 1937) is an Irish businessman, chiefly involved in the beef industry. His companies attracted controversy in the 1991 Beef Tribunal and the 2013 horse meat contamination scandal.[4]

Personal life[edit]
Goodman was born in County Louth. He left school before finishing his Intermediate Certificate, and followed his father into the meat industry, starting with meat by-products and sheep. He was "born to a well off family who had been in the meat business for six generations".[5]
He lives with his wife Kitty at Castlebellingham, County Louth. He has two sons, Laurence and Mark, and does not drink or smoke. His brother Peter Goodman worked as deputy chairman of Goodman International and his other brother Michael was a farmer in County Louth.[6]
Business life[edit]
In the late 1960s Goodman bought Anglo-Irish Meats in Dundalk, which put him into the processing industry in a substantial way. He then began exporting, building up contacts in the Middle East in particular. He sold meat to Libya, Iran, Iraq and Egypt – often going himself as salesman. He was on the advisory committee for HSBC's opening of operations in Ireland in 1979, along with Dermot Nolan, Michael Carvill and Peter Hutson. In April 1980 Anglo Irish Meat Group purchased a meat plant at Bagenalstown, County Carlow from Meade-Lonsdale for around £2.2m.
In June 1980 it was announced that Goodman would invest £10m for a new meat plant in Ardee, County Louth, employing 360 people "when it reaches full production". It also announced an additional £10m investment to expand operations at Cahir, Nenagh and Bagenalstown.[7] In October 1980, Goodman bought Fermanagh Meats in Enniskillen for about £1.5m. The plant employed 60 people and processed about 1,000 head of cattle a week. By this time Goodman's meat empire was turning over about £100m a year.[8]
In July 1981 it was announced that the IDA would put £2m towards the £9m expansion of Goodman's plants. One of his companies, Irish Agricultural Feed Co also built a feed manufacturing facility at Castlebellingham, and a complex to "over-winter up to 15,000 cattle to boost supplies to the factories at a time when few cattle are finished for slaughter". The complex "was the result of 14 years research" and cost £2m. By this time Anglo Irish Group employed some 700 people and turnover had reached £120m per year.[9]
In January 1982 it was announced that Anglo Irish Beef Group had won a £25.5m contract to supply beef to Iraq. The contract involved supplying 9,000 tonnes of boneless consumer cuts and frozen bone-in meat and was part of an overall order for 54,000 tonnes of beef placed by Iraq.[10]
In March 1983, AIBG acquired the four Northern Ireland factories of the animal by-products processors Robert Wilson for around £1m. By this stage AIBP was slaughtering more than 250,000 cattle a year, and 10,000 cattle were being fattened at Goodman's feeding lots in Louth. Later that year, in April 1983, he won contracts to supply $50m worth of fresh frozen beef to Iran and Morocco. At the time of the deal, Goodman complained that because there was no Variable Premium subsidy scheme in the UK, exporters there had an effective subsidy of $300 a tonne on beef exporters, thus enabling them to undercut Irish exporters. In September 1983 Goodman won a $33m contract to supply beef to Iran. Goodman praised then Minister for Agriculture Austin Deasy, whose visit to Tehran "greatly facilitated the securing of the new contract".[11]
In December 1984 AIBP purchased the entire fresh meat division of Dalgety PLC, a publicly quoted UK group. It included facilities in York, Blisworth, Wellingborough and Reading, as well as distribution depots in Jersey and Berkshire. By this time turnover at Goodman had reached £300m a year.[12] The purchased was followed by the acquisition of the Waterford plant of Clover Meats (after that company's collapse) for around £2m in February 1985. It includes the purchase of National Proteins, a by-products plant processing meat and bone meal from edible offal.[13]
Irish Sugar controversy[edit]
In January 1989 it emerged that Goodman, through his company Food Industries, was interested in making a "significant investment" in the Irish Sugar Company and confirmed that it had approached the company and the Government about its plans. The chief executive of Food Industries, David Dilger, said the company had not received "a negative or positive" response from the Government – which then commissioned a study on the future development of Irish Sugar. Dilger said on radio in February 1989 that he had been in touch Irish Sugar two months earlier. Following this Dilger and Goodman made a presentation to senior officials from ICTU on their plans for Irish Sugar.[citation needed]
On 14 February 1989 the chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on commercial State-Sponsored bodies, Liam Lawlor, failed to attend a private meeting of the committee at which Opposition members planned to question him about a report on the Irish Sugar Company's affairs, submitted by the company to the committee.[14]
It emerged that as Chairman of the committee Lawlor had received a report written by Irish Sugar for the committee in November 1988, but had not shared it with other members of the committee. Although at first he denied he knew of the existence of the document, he later admitted he had, though he reportedly "had not read its contents".[15][16]
The report "spelled out in greater detail than ever before the structures, financial condition and prospects" of Irish Sugar.[17] At the time Lawlor was a non-executive director of Food Industries, in which Goodman had a majority stake. Lawlor owned 11,000 shares in the company at the time valued at £31,000. He was appointed non-executive director in 1987, given his "expertise in the refrigeration/cold storage business".
Lawlor's involvement with Food Industries led to allegations of a conflict of interest, and proposals from the Labour and Workers parties for the drawing up of a code of conduct and declaration of interests via amendment to standing orders of the Dáil. Labour Party leader Dick Spring was ordered to leave the Dáil after persistent questioning about Lawlor's behaviour.
Lawlor resigned as chairman of the committee on 16 February 1989. Des O'Malley welcomed the resignation, stating that "it was the only honourable course open to him to protect and preserve the independence and the integrity of the committee".[18]
Desmond and Mac Giolla allegations[edit]
On 9 March 1989 TDs Barry Desmond and Tomás Mac Giolla made a series of allegations about Goodman International in the Dáil. Mac Giolla made allegations regarding what the Minister for Agriculture Michael O'Kennedy knew or did not know about Goodman's interest in Irish Sugar. It emerged that the Minister had met Goodman on 19 October 1988 and Goodman had expressed interest in Irish Sugar – however in a parliamentary question submitted by Des O'Malley just a month later O'Kennedy denied any "discussions or negotiations" related to Goodman had taken place. Mac Giolla highlighted a report in the Sunday Press about a Department of Agriculture raid on one of Goodman's companies, Eirfreeze, in North Wall, Dublin the previous week. Mac Giolla stated:
"My information is that it was closed down – and probably this is part of what was referred to by Deputy Desmond – because of very serious illegal activities by a team acting on behalf of one of the Goodman companies – changing labels on meat, changing dates in other words, the dates on which the meat was killed and packed in intervention."
Mac Giolla made allegations about an IDA grant of £25m given to Goodman, and the involvement of Charles Haughey in relation to the grant:
"It is understood that he [Goodman] has got IDA grants of up to probably £25 million. There is also some evidence which has been brought to my attention to suggest that the Taoiseach himself directly intervened with the IDA in some of these grants to get the IDA to drop their insistence on what is called the performance clause. The performance clause is required by the IDA in their contracts when issuing grants and this performance clause was dropped in the case of grants to the Goodman company. I do not know why that should be so. This is a huge concern. It accounts for more than 42 per cent of the total beef exports from this country. Alone they now probably account for up to 6 per cent of our gross national product."
Desmond made similar allegations, including:
"...We are aware that Goodman International are involved; we are aware that Waterford storage plants are involved; we are aware that Ballymun plants are involved. We are aware of allegations that boxes of beef were not found to contain what they should contain, that they had contained trimmings and offal, the export of which would certainly not be in the national interest."
Desmond indicated that the media had been subject to writs, and called for a tribunal of inquiry into the Goodman Group:[19]
"Any efforts by newspapers to refer to such matters have resulted in writs flowing all over the place, to the BBC, to RTE, to Irish newspapers. No doubt my party leader and I will receive – as did Deputy Stagg when he made a comment here about the same company – substantial letters demanding that the matter be dealt with elsewhere. As far as I am concerned, unless the matter is resolved in an effective manner, in a way in which the State's and the European Community's interests are protected, I will call for a tribunal of inquiry. Indeed the Government have little option but to hold an inquiry, a very detailed one, even if it were to cost £1 million or £2 million to get to the bottom of this matter. We must protect the integrity of Irish beef exports."
On 11 March 1989, the Irish Times published a story which described how Goodman International had via a statement denied the allegations made by Desmond and Mac Giolla. Goodman said it was shocked by the allegations made and that they were "false and malicious comments". "The use of the privilege of the Dail to further this campaign against an Irish company is a matter of the gravest concern," the statement read.[20]
Goodman denied the EirFreeze allegations, simply stating that the cold store in Dublin was not shut down "at any stage".[citation needed]
War in Iraq and emergency legislation[edit]
On 2 August 1990, Saddam Hussein ordered his troops to enter and occupy Kuwait. Goodman International, which was already under strain from a BSE scare was now under pressure because Iraq defaulted on payments for beef delivered, even before UN Sanctions were imposed. Initially the losses to the group and its bankers were estimated at £70m. There were rumours that a receiver to the company was about to be appointed.[21]
By this time Goodman's companies accounted for 40% of the national beef kill, and had turnover in the region of £1 billion, almost all of it in exports. On 24 August 1990, share prices on the Irish Stock Exchange fell by £400m, with some of Goodman's companies including Food Industries (in which he held a 68% stake) falling from 170p to 110p.[22]
By Friday, 24 August 1990 the situation had become so serious that Taoiseach Charles Haughey recalled the Dáil for an emergency session to pass a section of the Companies Bill on Tuesday, 28 August. Haughey denied that the legislation was being enacted specifically to aid Goodman.[23] The legislation allowed for the courts to appoint an examiner who could freeze company assets for up to 12 months – compared at the time to US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection laws.
It later emerged that Goodman International was owed up to £180 million by Iraq and that the group owed over £400m to banks around the world – and that the group was "insolvent to the tune of somewhat under £100m".[24] As the group holding company, Goodman International, was an unlimited company and Goodman was 98% owner, he could personally be called on to make good any shortfall owing to creditors. To pass the emergency legislation, TDs had to be recalled from their holidays including Ceann Comhairle Sean Treacy. Attorney General John Murray returned from his holiday in Italy to attend the emergency session – and work to install the new TV and sound system in the Dáil had to be suspended, with scaffolding being removed.[25]
World in Action[edit]
At 8.30pm, on 13 May 1991 Granada Television broadcast an episode of its flagship investigative programme, World in Action. The researcher on the programme was Susan O'Keeffe. The show examined the core business of Goodman International, how its operations were funded by national and European Community schemes, including export insurance and credit schemes, EC export subsidies and the variable premium paid on cattle. It questioned whether the dominant position of Goodman in the Irish and British beef processing industry was in the best interests of consumers. It also made allegations of inappropriate political influence by Goodman. The programme featured Patrick McGuinness, a former Goodman accountant who had left the company and immigrated to Canada. The Tribunal later established to investigate the allegations made in the programme, summarised them:[26]
Abuses of the system under which subsidies are paid by the EEC[edit]
- Falsification of documents which provide the basis for the payment of such subsidies.
- Use of bogus stamps to alter the classification of animals being processed;
- Switching of meat taken into intervention the property of the Intervention Authority and the substitution therefor of inferior product;
- Falsification of weights shown on cartons of beef;
Abuses of the Export Refund subsidy system[edit]
- failing to comply with the contractual requirements of Middle-East customers with regard to Halal slaughtering of beef exported to such countries and the unauthorised use of Islamic stamps, in the possession of the Company, to show compliance with this requirement;
- Re-boxing of meat purchased from the Intervention Agency for the purpose of misleading customers.
Abuses of the Aids to Private Storage Scheme at the AIBP factory in Waterford[edit]
- Falsification of weights;
- Addition of poor quality meat;
- Attempting to conceal the extent thereof by:
- altering case weights at the Cold Store,
- preparing a plan at Senior Management level within the Goodman Group to limit the extent of the damage to the Goodman Group which proved abortive.
Allegations of Political Influence[edit]
- That Larry Goodman and his companies had "the right connections at the right places that could basically control any investigation that would be put in place."
- That, though the National Governments of each individual country are responsible for tackling fraud on the European taxpayer, Larry Goodman had, in the Irish Government, some of his strongest supporters.
- That the links between the then Taoiseach, Charles J Haughey TD and Larry Goodman went "back a long way": that Larry Goodman gave money to the Fianna Fáil Party and the then Taoiseach publicly promoted Goodman at the very time that Customs investigators were warning that Goodman's operations were strongly suspected of involvement in fraud.
- That a major European investigation into the operation of Goodman companies was prevented by assurances from the Irish authorities that they themselves had a wide ranging investigation of Goodman in hand and that there is no evidence of any such investigation.
- That the Customs report on the Waterford investigation was withheld from the Garda Fraud Squad for a period of eighteen months even though the Customs authorities had recommended the instigation of criminal proceedings.
- The Commissioner Ray Mac Sharry had sought the assistance of the Dutch Agriculture Minister, Herik Braks to approach a Dutch Bank, Amro, to withhold proceedings against Goodman.
Abuses of the Tax system[edit]
- having a company wide scheme of under the table payments to employees;
- making out cheques against bogus invoices, having same endorsed by Goodman employees, cashed at local branches of the Allied Irish Bank and the cash received distributed to employees, the amount involved being approximately £3 million per annum.The next day Opposition parties called for a full judicial inquiry into the allegations made on the programme.
Goodman said he would welcome any investigation from any source and that he would co-operate fully with it. He said he was astounded by the allegations made in the programme. He said that the malpractices alleged during the programme in relation to stamping and weighing meat had never been carried out in a "routine fashion", and if they had taken place they had done so without his knowledge or consent.He said systems that meant payment of £3 million in non-taxable wages to employees had existed but that this had been ended.[27]
Rabbitte allegations[edit]
Gifts to civil servants[edit]
Opposition TD Pat Rabbitte made a number of further allegations in the Dáil on 15 May 1991. These includes that customs personnel at Greenore, Carrickarnon, Dundalk, Waterford and Dublin, as well as staff at the Department of Agriculture, including staff at cold stores and vets, and from the Department of Industry and Commerce had all received gifts from the Goodman group. It was also alleged that staff at the Northern Ireland Customs and the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture had received gifts.[citation needed]
Carousel operation[edit]
He also said that Goodman operations had been subject to a lesser degree of customs inspections than other commercial operations and "especially in regard to container loads going North, and that he has been able to virtually secure the closing off of the port of Greenore to other people when he was exporting meat". Rabbitte continued that in 1988 a container load of boneless beef left a Goodman plant near Wexford. The lorry, carrying 500 sides of beef, crossed by ferry to Britain, travelled up the mainland and crossed to Northern Ireland at Larne. The lorry was intercepted by customs officers on an unapproved road near Castleblayney on its way back to the Republic. The driver explained to the customs officers that he was on his way to a Goodman plant near Enniskillen, but had got lost. The customs officers concluded that they had intercepted a "carousel' or missing trader fraud operation.
The allegations were addressed during the Beef Tribunal. In the Tribunal Report published in July 1994, Justice Liam Hamilton stated: "The Tribunal accepts there was no basis whatsoever for the suggestion that the Goodman companies were subjected to a lesser degree of customs inspections than other commercial operations".[28] In relation to the supposed "closing off" of the port at Greenore to other people, the Tribunal found that: "No evidence was adduced before this tribunal which in any way sought to support this allegation. In fact, all the evidence was to the contrary".[29] Regarding the allegations of a "carousel operation" Justice Hamilton stated "The Tribunal is satisfied that the incident referred to in Deputy Rabbitte's speech was not part of a carousel operation.[30]
Beef Tribunal[edit]
The Tribunal of Inquiry into the Beef Processing Industry, also known as the Beef Tribunal, was established on 31 May 1991, chaired by Mr Justice Liam Hamilton. The Tribunal was tasked with "inquiring into the following definite matters of urgent public importance: (i) allegations regarding illegal activities, fraud and malpractice in and in connection with the beef processing industry made or referred to:-- (a) in Dáil Éireann, and (b) on a television programme transmitted by ITV on 13 May 1991; (ii) any matters connected with or relevant to the matters aforesaid which the Tribunal considers it necessary to investigate in connection with its inquiries into the matters mentioned at (i) above; and 2. making such recommendations (if any) as the Tribunal, having regard to its findings, thinks proper." The Tribunal began hearings on 21 June 1991 and it reported its conclusions in July 1994, at the time the Irish State's longest running inquiry. The Tribunal was established by the then Fianna Fáil/Progressive Democrat coalition, though only after the leader of the PDs, Des O'Malley threatened to pull out of the coalition if no inquiry was established. Then Taoiseach Charles Haughey acquiesced to the demand.[31]

Funny Thanksgiving Poems
The first of the funny Thanksgiving poems on this page is Turkey Turkey. Here's a hint: it's all about the soy.
by Denise Rodgers
I wrote the second of these funny Thanksgiving poems ages ago -- before I had children. (They're adults now; it's been a while.) This poem was inspired by my dad, who really did grow up in Poland. He was a city boy, lived in Krakow. But when his family went to the countryside, he was chased by wild turkeys, who apparently enjoyed nipping him in the butt.
I could never understand why this would prevent him from eating the bird. After all, wouldn't revenge be sweet? In the mean time, please enjoy the next funny Thanksgiving poem.
by Denise Rodgers
The third of these funny Thanksgiving poems is Two Turkeys. It is about a dysfunctional family. (It was inspired by my mother-in-law who insisted on bringing her turkey to our Thanksgiving meal, despite several pointed conversations, several days in advance, indicating it wasn't necessary.) Normal families are boring, no? Enjoy.
Two Turkeys

The last of the funny Thanksgiving poems on this page is all about the turkey. In this case, it's no turkey (much like in the first poem). This is another one for my dad, who still doesn't like turkey!

I hope you enjoyed these funny Thanksgiving poems.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we argue that an operating system structured as a distributed system needs a coordination and a name service to make OS services work correctly. While a distributed structure allows applying algorithms from the distributed field, it also suffers from similar problems like synchronization, naming, distributed locking and coordination of service instances. Octopus, our solution to this problem in the context of a real OS, provides an easy-to-use, high-level, uniform coordination service with events at reasonable performance. Based on this service, we describe three real use cases: device management, OS service registry and boot-up coordination.
Conference Paper: A Declarative Language Approach to Device Configuration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: C remains the language of choice for hardware programming (device drivers, bus configuration, etc.): it is fast, allows low-level access, and is trusted by OS developers. However, the algorithms required to configure and reconfigure hardware devices and interconnects are becoming more complex and diverse, with the added burden of legacy support, quirks, and hardware bugs to work around. Even programming PCI bridges in a modern PC is a surprisingly complex problem, and is getting worse as new functionality such as hotplug appears. Existing approaches use relatively simple algorithms, hard-coded in C and closely coupled with low-level register access code, generally leading to suboptimal configurations. We investigate the merits and drawbacks of a new approach: separating hardware configuration logic (algorithms to determine configuration parameter values) from mechanism (programming device registers). The latter we keep in C, and the former we encode in a declarative programming language with constraint-satisfaction extensions. As a test case, we have implemented full PCI configuration, resource allocation, and interrupt assignment in the Barrelfish research operating system, using a concise expression of efficient algorithms in constraint logic programming. We show that the approach is tractable, and can successfully configure a wide range of PCs with competitive runtime cost. Moreover, it requires about half the code of the C-based approach in Linux while offering considerably more functionality. Additionally it easily accommodates adaptations such as hotplug, fixed regions, and quirks.

ABSTRACT: As personal computing devices become increasingly parallel multiprocessors, the requirements for operating system schedulers change considerably. Future general-purpose machines will need to handle a dynamic, bursty, and interactive mix of parallel programs sharing a heterogeneous multicore machine. We argue that a key challenge for such machines is rethinking scheduling as an end-to-end problem integrating components from the hardware and kernel up to the programming language runtimes and applications themselves. We present several design principles for future OS schedulers, and discuss the implications of each for OS and runtime interfaces and structure. We illustrate the implementation challenges that result by describing the concrete choices we have made in the Barrelfish multikernel. This allows us to present one coherent scheduling design for an entire multicore machine, while at the same time drawing conclusions we think are applicable to the design of any general-purpose multicore OS.

ABSTRACT: We discuss diversity and heterogeneity in manycore computer systems, and identify three distinct types of diversity, all of which present challenges to operating system designers and application writers alike. We observe that most current research work has concentrated on a narrow form of one of these (non-uniform memory access) to the exclusion of the others, and show with measurement why this makes sense in the short term. However, we claim that this is not viable in the long term given current processor and system roadmaps, and present our approach to dealing with both heterogeneous hardware within a single system, and the increasing diversity of complete system configurations: we directly represent detailed system information in an expressive "system knowledge base" accessible to applications and OS subsystems alike, and use this to control tasks such as scheduling and resource allocation.

ABSTRACT: Abstract The future manycore architectures present serious challenges to operating sys- tem designers. The traditional operating system designs can no longer manage the capabilities and power of the diverse heterogeneous cores with complex memory hierarchies, interconnects resembling networks, and distributed I/O configurations. The Barrelfish multikernel operating system addresses these is- sues by treating hardware as a distributed system. Co-operation in such an environment is achieved by message passing. We borrow similar design ideas in this thesis and present a distributed USB hot plugging infrastructure for a multikernel Barrelfish operating system. We have divided the USB system into three primary modules with different responsibilities: Host controller driver, USB manager and client drivers. This modular design provides necessary iso- lation and flexibility required in manycore systems. It also provides freedom to schedule and, if required, migrate any module independently among the cores depending upon the system workload and the application requirements. These modules communicate by explicit message passing but a few frequently updated and performance critical data structures are shared using shared memory,mech- anism. In this thesis, we try to design, implement and evaluate this system on top of message services and abstractions provided by the Barrelfish operating system. iv Acknowledgments
Conference Paper: Rhizoma: A Runtime for Self-deploying, Self-managing Overlays.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The trend towards cloud and utility computing infrastructures raises challenges not only for application development, but also for management: diverse resources, changing resource availability, and differing application requirements create a complex optimization problem. Most existing cloud applications are managed externally, and this separation can lead to increased response time to failures, and slower or less appropriate adaptation to resource availability and pricing changes. In this paper, we explore a different approach more akin to P2P systems: we closely couple a decentralized management runtime ("Rhizoma") with the application itself. The application expresses its resource requirements to the runtime as a constrained optimization problem. Rhizoma then fuses multiple real-time sources of resource availability data, from which it decides to acquire or release resources (such as virtual machines), redeploying the system to continually maximize its utility. Using PlanetLab as a challenging "proving ground" for cloud-based services, we present results showing Rhizoma's performance, overhead, and efficiency versus existing approaches, as well the system's ability to react to unexpected large-scale changes in resource availability.

Conference Paper: "The Multikernel: A New OS Architecture for Scalable Multicore Systems,"[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Commodity computer systems contain more and more processor cores and exhibit increasingly diverse architectural tradeo s, in- cluding memory hierarchies, interconnects, instruction sets and variants, and IO configurations. Previous high-performance com- puting systems have scaled in specific cases, but the dynamic nature of modern client and server workloads, coupled with the impossi- bility of statically optimizing an OS for all workloads and hardware variants pose serious challenges for operating system structures. We argue that the challenge of future multicore hardware is best met by embracing the networked nature of the machine, rethinking OS architecture using ideas from distributed systems. We investi- gate a new OS structure, themultikernel, that treats the machine as a network of independent cores, assumes no inter-core sharing at the lowest level, and moves traditional OS functionality to a distributed system of processes that communicate via message-passing. We have implemented a multikernel OS to show that the ap- proach is promising, and we describe how traditional scalability problems for operating systems (such as memory management) can be e ectively recast using messages and can exploit insights from distributed systems and networking. An evaluation of our prototype on multicore systems shows that, even on present-day machines, the performance of a multikernel is comparable with a conventional OS, and can scale better to support future hardware.

ABSTRACT: Trends in multicore processors pose serious structural challenges to system software such as databases and operating systems. In this paper we revisit the decades-old problem of the interaction be-tween a database and an operating system in the new context of the changes imposed on both by multicore architectures. Using existing prototypes of a multicore database and multicore operat-ing system, we explore how they can efficiently interact so that the database can make optimal placement and deployment decisions without knowledge of the machine architecture. Our results show superior memory and interconnect utilization, and dramatic perfor-mance improvements in the presence of competing system tasks.
