You very much Morgan Stanley breaking news the CEO James Gorman has put a lid on new hires.
And is now deciding whether to lay off more people at the -- securities firm how much and when Charlie Gasparino.
This is not layoffs right now now probably saying -- what they have right now according to a senior executive inside the firm is they have an informal hiring freeze.
Basically the -- only had they are not getting staff in this doesn't cover financial rises and brokers they work on commissions of the different ball game altogether.
They are not adding staff only replacing.
Key position so this is kind of interest and mortgage -- everything has come to -- stop it is the fourth quarter but still this is this is very agency.
And it's basically building up to what we know is gonna come in general it was so you tell the fox is -- -- James Gorman C you'll Morgan Stanley in -- We'll be decided then.
How much and if you cut I think it's more how much -- cut from the firm my -- if -- verses that I'd.
Decision as -- may -- they're gonna know in January that's what we're told inside Morgan Stanley.
But it's how the but I think it's going to be if they have a approximate 55000 employees at least for a good chance -- -- -- from inside the firm they're gonna look at potential layoffs.
You know in equity and sales trading not too much you know there's a -- -- look -- and getting out of the commodities business I don't think or even fixed income.
I don't know that -- the gonna cut people there that's what I hear some trimming an investment banking fixed but I'm beginning Monday.
Patrick they actually do make money they make a lot of money it's it's tougher in the ticket sales of the equity -- that you don't have YouTube was you were supporting you are supporting.
You know -- that's a Wall Street firms do they they get inventory trade with them and I think it's part of that if it's not -- -- a proprietary trade we actually.
It on your own behalf going out and had taken proprietary bets.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- From what I understand he still could support customers thank god which is what Wall Street firms do.
And that's really do make money.
That said that's -- that's probably a place as you mentioned they're gonna cut because of the various rules in effect.
But we don't know it's it's January.
I will say this -- you know this is not the first round of layoffs at Morgan Stanley it's it's maybe the third I can't I can't count.
But it does say something you know just extrapolate this out about wall to Wall Street is very very nervous about the future even if we don't -- the fiscal cliff.
I mean I guess that Wall Street sort of fantasy would be they come to date they impose Simpson Bowles right.
You do you do -- radical sort of change of the tax quote take down the rates close the loopholes do some with the deficit.
That's probably not gonna happen you know -- we're lucky if we get some sort of deal -- get -- beyond the fiscal close with those automatic tax increases and budget cuts kick in.
That a pretty owners are people say cigarettes and as the recession would even take that out of it.
Wall Street is I just.
They're just increasingly pessimistic about the future stuff -- -- you've got I've got to Dodd-Frank coming you've got Basel III you've got regulations in every single nation to which you have -- -- would fight here let's just make sure people know that those little things you just saw on the screen.
And out of Morgan -- not cutting Medicare that's what happens with the fiscal cliff I think right.
But I'm pretty sure I was -- it was as funny.
Remember we're Citi cuts in Medicare I think they took our our comments from what city laid off 111000 people and we said don't do that in December of you have to do it do it and Novell and the plane I react that I could say I don't I know him pretty well these bad press he's a good guy and he's not he's -- evil guy but not at all.
Totally opposite very very rational nice Smart guy.
He does though have a firm to run -- -- you know an outlook business he has economic realities and what we're -- -- news give you.
The economic realities of -- it's and the question is.
How much of the firms do what what is Goldman do I mean I hear -- could be -- there as well.
So this is every form is going through it I don't think Morgan Stanley will -- is the this as Citi.
-- had a lot more to do bigger firm more unwieldy.
I think they'll do kind of I don't mean by catching up to America may not we've seen in America -- -- we also support -- one other thing about Wall Street there was overreact.
-- -- twenty years they've been overreacting for twenty years.
Remember they cut back and then things -- better than go crazy hiring so remember they have the pendulum falls -- short memory -- -- Charley thank you.
-- -- -- -- I'm taking orders for chocolates -- Sparked by me chocolate.
Holidays are pregnant about -- -- but that he had mostly the older kids eleven and a cat hair -- that it not be like that chart -- -- -- -- -- like okay we.

-- -- thank you very much I gotta get down to our Rick Sanchez now folks he's Latino contribute a full.
Rick's thoughts on something we were talking about it earlier the Republican -- Learning the lessons -- of the last election and perhaps he has before that on issues like immigration Rick you have some faults on whether -- learning quickly enough.
They're not they're obviously not at its frustrating you -- really thought.
-- after losing the last election and only getting.
Of the Latino vote which was down from 33%.
For McCain and 44%.
From bush that they'd say.
Like an alcoholic needs to hit rock bottom before he moves -- decides to change.
The Republicans I guess need to hit rock bottom I guess point 7% still -- rock bottom for a because they're basically play -- around the edges with this topic I mean just forgot the optics of some of the things we've been seeing lately -- -- House Republicans that have been meeting now apparently for four years try to figure out the immigration debate put.
Guess what.
They haven't been willing to come out and talk about it almost like they're afraid to they're ashamed -- they're scared.
There's a story in the New York Times recently about Dick -- 5:30 in the morning.
Dick Durbin a Democrat from Illinois right.
Going to Marco Rubio a Hispanic from Miami.
And Dick Durbin has to go to him at 5:30 in the morning secretly whispered as you're not how he wants to get him on ward so maybe they can together work on an immigration deal -- Optics of that -- job but.
Look Republicans need to get on board this train.
And drive the train them so that they can push up the numbers that they will reap from a group of people who are very much like that much.
Pro family pro work ethic pro religion the whole nine yards stop.
Beating around the bush jumped in not just a total not a foot include a whole body.
What why don't why they don't moving quicker what's your thoughts on that.
We can always.
The Tea Party.
The Tea Party guys like god you know they're afraid of of the GM brewers they're afraid of the Arpaio is they're afraid of the the bidders in Louisiana those sessions in Alabama who come out and criticize them for those.
But you see when you believe in something and when you know that from a political strategy standpoint it also makes sense not to mention it's the right thing to do.
Well then you need to man -- you need to stand up like a man and say no guys you're wrong we're moving forward and we're moving a 100%.
If you're -- don't believe that then then didn't stand a little somewhere don't make a decision and you know people who stay in the little lever eventually get.
Nothing they'll get -- though the though they won't get them.
They won't get the blame.
And they won't get the credit they'll get nothing so choose your poison Republicans that's my point down in the middle of the street you get Rondo left Rick Sanchez thank you very much if Rick's face isn't -- -- Latino dot com right now.

Absolutely nothing decent – Get Answers To All Of Your Online Shopping Questions
If you feel that you have a better grip on your online shopping experience now, then you have learned something from this article. Keep in mind the tips that you have read so that you can benefit from them. And, remember to keep up with the many changes that you need to know.
Do comparison shopping before making any purchases. This is true to for traditional shopping, but online shopping makes it really simple. All you need to do is a quick web search for the product and see what prices come up. If there's a better price out there, you'll typically know pretty quickly.
Be careful in regard to the online stores that you consider buying from. If the web store is poorly designed, full of misspellings, and overall fishy, you should take your money elsewhere. These are signs that something might not be right about this store. It's better to be safe than sorry.
If you are considering a large purchase from an unfamiliar website, start with a "practice purchase." If possible, find a low-cost item on the site to buy. Make sure that the transaction goes well and you are satisfied with their service and product. If they pass this test, you should feel comfortable making your larger purchase. Now you can impress everyone you know with the great deals you score online. You can buy whatever it is you need without spending an arm and a leg. On top of that, what you buy will be shipped right to you! Share your new knowledge with others so they can benefit, too. If you spend a lot on Amazon, consider Amazon Prime. The membership is only 79 dollars, and you get quite a bit for your money. You are able to get discounts on both same day and overnight deliveries as well as free two day shipping. You also get access to their online streaming library, which is similar to Hulu or Netflix. So, you save a lot of money overall. It is true that money probably can't buy love. Money can buy you all the other things you need, though. If you want to spend less money on those purchases, you have to start shopping online. Read these eye-opening tricks and tips to learn how you can save big today.
If you are not sure whether or not an online store is reliable, contact their customer service. Ask a few questions about the products, the payment method and the shipping. If you do not get a good impression after talking with a representative on the phone, find another online store.
To protect your money and credit, make sure you only buy from a reputable online retailer. Check the retailer's reviews to get an idea of what other online shoppers are saying. See if they have any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Help others by sharing your online shopping experiences.
When you are shopping online, use reviews and ratings to your advantage and make smart purchases. If you are buying a rug and 10 out of 11 reviewers say the item was not the correct color, you probably want to look somewhere else for the item. Also check to verify that a customer had to purchase the item in order to make the review. If you want to buy books online, you'll get a better deal if you get them used. Depending on the condition you get them in, you may just end up paying a few cents plus shipping. Make sure you read through the description of the book to see if there are any damages you should be aware of.
If you frequently shop online, make sure your anti-malware is always top-notch and up-to-date. Large retailers are often the target of hackers and others unscrupulous people that will try to steal all your personal information. Pay attention to all of the warnings you get from your security software concerning the sites you are shopping on.
Before shopping from a store that is new to you, find out what the store's reputation is like. You can usually do an online search and find out what others think of the business. It is best to do this so you do not find out the hard way and lose your money.
The best way to pick out clothing online to buy is to go with what you know. Look at items in your closet and try to match them in size, shape and style. If they already look good on you, items which match them should look good on you, too.

By Andrew Barksdale Staff writer
The Fayetteville City Council would like to get more information about seeking a sales tax increase to pay for a $45 million parks bond issue.
Without making any commitments, the council Monday night directed staff to research the process for raising the sales tax in the city and calculate how much revenue a quarter-cent or half-cent increase would generate.
Councilman Keith Bates argued that a sales tax increase would be a better method for paying off the debt if the parks referendum passes next year.
"I think it has a better chance of passing if it goes through a sales tax than a property tax," he said. "That's one of my big things about the bond issue."
The current plan calls for raising the city tax rate by 2.25 cents per $100 in valuation if voters approve the bond issue in a special election Feb. 26.
The current property tax rate is 45.6 cents.
In July, the council voted 6-4 to hold the referendum, despite concerns about the scope and cost of the overall $54.6 million building plan for new pools and parks, a senior center, a field house, tennis courts, ball fields and a river park.
Kristoff Bauer, the interim city manager, said state lawmakers won't let local governments raise sales taxes without holding referendums on whether to grant such an increase.
"If they gave us the authority, it would be subject to a second vote," Bauer said.
The General Assembly's next regular session is set to start in January, making it too short a window for the city to seek a local bill and prepare to hold a sales tax referendum at the same time as the Feb. 26 park bond vote.
Councilman Bill Crisp said the council could always hold a sales tax referendum later in 2013 if the parks bond issue passes, to pay off the debt in lieu of the 2.25-cent property tax hike.
"If they say no, we got to do the 2.25," he said of the legislature.
Councilwoman Val Applewhite told the council voters may reject the park bond issue, making the discussion moot.
Councilman Robert Massey disagreed. He said the city should explore a sales tax increase, no matter what happens Feb. 26. The city has other needs, including public safety, he said.
"If we can start to get funding set aside from the folks who don't live in Fayetteville but come through Fayetteville and shop in Fayetteville, it would benefit the entire city," Massey said.
Across Cumberland County, shoppers pay a 7 percent sales tax on most purchases, plus an additional 1 percent on prepared foods and beverages.
The council also:
Agreed tentatively to set a three-year limit on how long vacant but structurally sound buildings can remain boarded up. A final vote is expected later this month.
Directed staff to explore the scope of a land-use plan for areas along the Cape Fear River. Staff members are expected to report next spring how much it would cost to hire a consultant to do the study in next year's budget cycle.
Directed staff to explore doing an in-house land-use study around Ramsey Street and Andrews Road and report back later.

Four of the eight Cal pitchers posted scoreless innings. Starter Tyler Skaggs (Arizona) set the tone with a flawless first frame. The Visalia left-hander struck out the final two batters he faced.
Lancaster's Jake Buchanan (Houston) was the pitcher of record for the Cal League, as he tossed a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout in the third. His offense scored four runs in the bottom of the inning, including Top Star Jedd Gyorko's RBI single.
"It's fun to come out here and play with the guys who have done well all year and play with the best," Buchanan said. "I had great defense behind me."
Buchanan hasn't won since June 1, when the right-hander allowed three runs -- two earned -- over seven innings to down Modesto.
Lake Elsinore's Gyorko (Padres), who missed out on the finals of the Home Run Derby earlier in the day, was honored to be named the Cal League's MVP. He also had an RBI single in the fifth. He deferred credit to the hitters ahead of him in the lineup, outfielders San Jose's Gary Brown (Giants) and Visalia's Adam Eaton (D-backs), who each scored a run. Brown also plated one.
Gyorko also praised the Cal League pitchers for their efforts. "They only gave up one run," he said. "If you give up one run, you're going to win."
Winston-Salem designated hitter Ian Gac (White Sox) got the first hit of the game, a solid base hit to left field. It would be two more innings before the Carolina All-Stars got another hit. Wilmington's Rey Navarro (Royals) drove in Lynchburg's Joey Terdoslavich (Braves) with a single to right field.
California added another run in the fifth after Eaton smashed a ball into center field. He went into third base standing and scored on Gyorko's base hit. The Cal League struck again in the sixth when Jake Lemmerman (Dodgers) doubled home Oaks catcher Rossmel Perez, who drew a walk with two outs.
Third baseman Gyorko earned Top Player honors not just for his bat, but also for his work with the glove. He ended the Carolina scoring threat in the fifth inning with a quick grab at the bag, recording the forceout then throwing across the diamond for the final out of the inning.
Two Modesto pitchers nailed down the game for the winners. Chad Bettis (Rockies) retired the first two batters he faced in the top of the ninth with a strikeout and a ground out. Then Coty Woods got the Dash's Andy Wilkins to ground out to second base on one pitch to end the contest.
Navarro was named the Top Star for the Carolina League.

Typically, previous invocation of 'make' would still run when I have the next steps ready. Typing "make" again at this moment would cause both copies to work on unfinished step (second make would not wait as it should). (Typically, I might finish the next step on friday and would like it to be invoked during the weekend, as soon as possible.) However there might be a simple solution (like one 'make' in loop, until there is nothing to do). I wonder why my needs seem to be uncommon - is it because you guys on the beowulf list 1) are not as lazy as I am and you have the whole program ready in time? 2) you change data/parameters rather then programs? 3) you have plenty of time and do not need to work in parallel with your cluster? I do not beleive any of these, please tell me why you all are not calling for job dependencies in any job spooling system :) Regards Vaclav

Just a few years ago, even the best internet companies would have found it hard to go public. With the global economy faltering, the word 'IPO' wasn't on anybody's mind.
Times are different today. The global economy is still a source of many concerns, but the stock markets are currently shrugging those concerns off and giving the top tech companies an opportunity to sell their shares to the public.

Social media is big. Mobile is big. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that the number of consumers using their mobile phones to interact with popular social media hubs like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn is growing rapidly.
According to comScore, the number of mobile users in the United States ages 13 and up who accessed a social networking or blog website has grown a whopping 37% in the past year.
What's more: nearly 50% of these users are social networking on a daily basis using their mobile devices.

Social media is all about people, and as social role's prominence as a business tool continues to grow, and according to software provider EPiServer, there will soon be substantial growth in the number of people -- 'community managers' -- who are hired to manage social media.
In a survey of 250 senior marketing executives in the UK, EPiServer found that nearly three-quarters of companies are involved with online communities or planned to be within the next 12 months.
As would be expected, much of the activity in this area is taking place on popular third party-owned sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you'll be aware of the huge buzz (no pun intended) surrounding Google+, the search giant's latest foray into the world of social networking.
Google learned some harsh lessons from the failure of Buzz and Wave, and based on initial impressions it looks as though they've done a much better job this time around.
The product is currently in limited beta, but Google's policy of initially inviting the social media ecosphere of bloggers, gurus and assorted hangers-on is certainly paying some handsome PR dividends.
Across Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora (and yes, even Facebook), you'll be hearing the great and the good praising the new platform, telling us how great it looks, how useful it is and generally flaunting their early access like Wayne and Garth with a backstage pass.
If you're on Google+ then hey, you must be an influencer right?

Using social media in the financial services industry always challenged by the restrictions of internal risk and compliance processes and by external regulation.
How do you use social media in an environment where you can't promote your services, advise people or identify customers? And where you need archives of your communications, long approval processes and where information may become out of date?
For many the answer is to not use social media. But Morgan Stanley has recently announced a different approach - actually encouraging their advisers to engage people on Twitter and LinkedIn.

For those who lived through the .com boom and bust of the late 1990s, the last decade has been interesting. The internet is now bigger, and stronger. Today's success stories, including Facebook, Groupon and Zynga, have taken center stage, and look set to cash in.
Yesterday, LinkedIn, the popular social network for professionals went public. And boy did investors party like it was 1999.

Sparkles, a 10 yr old Aus. Shep. mix just moved to the Bay Area from L.A. I adopted her as a 2 yr old in Los Angeles. In LA, there are not a lot of dog friendly places to go and a lot of my friends didn't have dogs so she didn't have any to play with. She had been neglected... left in a cage with other big dogs that beat her up. The scars still show. Here in Fremont, we have HUNDREDS of miles of off-leash parks to run in. This dog's life has changed dramatically. She is happier, healthier, younger, and calmer. We go hiking every other day and have such WONDERFUL adventures. She is truly my hiking buddy. Hercules belongs to the daughter of my fathers late companion. Hercules is the only dog Sparkles is comfortable enough to play with, most likely because he's small and non-threatening but playful and easy going!
I have so many more wonderful photos of Sparkles in Garin... it was difficult to select only 3!
A dog'd life changes... for the better!

RAY KURZWEIL "Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit"
Monday, March 12 at 2:00pm
Legendary visionary Ray Kurzweil will join writer Lev Grossman from TIME Magazine for a mind-expanding conversation about our future on Monday, March 12.
Ray Kurzweil (left) has been described as "the restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal, and "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes. Inc. magazine ranked him #8 among entrepreneurs in the United States, calling him the "rightful heir to Thomas Edison," and PBS included Ray as one of 16 "revolutionaries who made America," along with other inventors of the past two centuries.
As one of the leading inventors of our time, Ray was the principal developer of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Ray's website Kurzweil AI.net has over one million readers.
He has received nineteen honorary Doctorates and honors from three U.S. presidents. Ray has written four national best sellers. The Age of Spiritual Machines has been translated into 9 languages and was the #1 best selling book on Amazon in science.

The start of something special
Volleyball seniors honored after winning season
Creston's departing seniors on the 2012 volleyball team were part of an encouraging new era in Panther volleyball, coach Polly Luther said at Sunday's team banquet in the high school commons.
The first-year coach was encouraged by the 13-12 season — Creston's first winning record since 1992 — and a tie for sixth in the Hawkeye 10 at 3-6. Highlights included the season-opening win at Norwalk, in overcoming the loss of senior hitter Amy Dunphy during the match; the senior night home win over Glenwood; and a hard-fought five-set loss against a tall, talented Shenandoah team. (Glenwood and Shenandoah were the teams tied with Creston in the league standings.)
"We started something that hasn't been done at Creston in 20 years in girls volleyball," Luther said. "Our seniors have ended their careers with our program looking up. Now, it's our job as coaches and underclassmen to make sure that continues."

What are the worst Irish movies ever made?
We think we have come up with the Top 5 but if you have any better or worse ideas, feel free to join in.
From stereotypical views of Ireland in "Leap Year" and atrocious acting and accents in "Far and Away" to the embarrassing tales of "High Spirits" and "A Tiger's Tale," there have been some really awful films made about or in Ireland.
Here at Irish Central we're saved the number one spot for one of the most bizarre movies ever made. "Holy Water" is a tale about a group of men who put Viagra in their town's water supply. Need we say more?
Here's our full list of the top worst Irish movies of all time:
Holy Water (2009)
Just a short description of this Irish movie will show you quickly why it got our number one vote. The story centers around the town of Kilcoulins Leap, home of a famous Holy Well. A postman, Podger Byrnes, comes up with a plan to hijack a van of Viagra and sell it in Amsterdam. When the plan goes wrong and Viagra's makers send in their muscle, the postman and his friends hide the load of Viagra down the town's Holy Well. You can guess the hilarity that follows.
Far and Away (1992)
Back in 1992 "Entertainment Weekly" spelt out perfectly what was wrong with this Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman epic about venturing into the Wild West in the 1800s. The review read, "Cruise has no edge, no inner fire. He lacks the passionate, volatile qualities that might have expanded the character into something more than a screenwriter's concoction. … Machine-tooled and weightless — that's Cruise in 'Far and Away'. And that's the movie as well."
This movie is also an example of some of the worst Irish accents and lines in an Irish movie. The most famously bad line from this movie is one of Cruise's when he says to Kidman's character, "You're a corker, Shannon. What a corker you are."
Leap Year (2010)
Guilty of leaving Ireland in the dark ages, "Leap Year" sees Oscar nominee Amy Adams as Anna, a woman desperate to marry her long term boyfriend. She plans a trip to the Emerald Isle for February 29, where traditionally in Ireland women can propose to men.
"The New York Times" got it right when a critic described "Leap Year" as one of the worst movies of the year. The romantic comedy paints modern Ireland as a backward country where a power surge caused by Adam's Blackberry wipes out electricity for an entire town. The hackneyed love story does little to promote the true identity and lure of Ireland.
The Tiger's Tail (2006)
Written and directed by Englishman John Boorman, this is one Irish film that belongs on the editor's floor. Good points start and end with the cast line up, which includes Brendan Gleeson and Kim Cattrall (with a very unconvincing Irish accent).
Gleeson plays Liam, a property developer in Ireland's economic heyday whose dodgy dealings leave him seeing a double of himself, akin to Macbeth's ghosts who haunt him for the duration of the film.
High Spirits (1988)
The brilliant Peter O'Toole plays a major role in this movie which does not paint the Irish or Americans in the best light. Stereotypes and an embarrassingly predictable story earned this movie a place on our list.
The movie tells the story of a busload of American tourists who arrive at Peter Plunkett's Irish castle which he pretends is haunted.
the quiet man should be top of the list and Ryans Daughter second, seen leap year the other dsy on RTE, wasnt bad, was funny, high spirits was good, but if you want to see great films about Ireland, don't look at hollywood versions of Ireland.
I thought Leap Year was a cute little movie but never understood how/why she left Wales and ended up in Dingle. Certainly they could have told the story and got the geography correct.
The only movie I have seen that is listed is "Leap Year." There were many fallacies in this movie, including the proposal made by women on February 29th...that is known as "Sadie Hawkins Day" in the US and it was also a day when women could ask men to marry them. Having said that, taken in the context of a romantic comedy, I have to say that I adore this movie. I own it on DVD and have watched it many, many times. I enjoy looking at the landscapes that I love so well (and being able to say, "I was there!" on occasion) and I love the great comedy in it.
"The Brillcream Boys" a cross between The Quite Man and The Great Escape.The greatest load of bowel motion ever A 5 year old would write a better fairy tail ,no wonder the world is laughing at our stupidity
Did anyone enjoy Zonad? when I heard the plot I was interested to see it, but sadly disappointed by the film, I would have preferred never to have seen it.
Have to agree with rodgerahara, "Irish Jam" must go on the worst list - stupid story, bad acting, bad accents, and I don't think there are any more 18th century shebeens left in Ireland where the locals all go to drink.
Any list of the worst Irish movies must include The Commitments. 90 minutes of stupidity, inanity and vulgarity. The only smile it raised from me was when I realized it was over.
Don't know how you could leave off "Irish Jam", a terrible movie starring(?) Eddie Griffin about a pub in Ireland being given away to the writer of the best poem, who, in this case, turns out to be an African-American rap artist from Los Angeles. I think it might have been one of those straight to DVD and cable movies. Icky at best!
I'm certainly with you on FAR AND AWAY - at that point in their careers they sent two only mildly talented children to embarrass themselves trying to do adults' work in a film that came close to working but for their sore thumb performances, but I'm with the readers who speak up for the dumb fun (it was a Steve Guttenberg film after all) of HIGH SPIRITS! YES, it is sexist and racist and stereotypical in inexcusable ways, but Liam Neeson is also sexy and hilarious in almost obscene ways and the film is simply too funny to dismiss as the trash it always threatens to be. Like one other reader, I have severe problems with the almost iconic QUIET MAN despite admirable performances by the leads and beautiful cinematography - the glorification of supposedly essential to Irish culture "donnybrooks" is inexcusable to 21st century adults and an insult to CIVILIZED Irish men. IF you're going to defend it however, do at least have a look at the failed 1961 Broadway musical (called, appropriately enough, DONNYBROOK!). The glorious Johnny Burke score almost justifies the silly story and when New York's Irish Rep mounted a revival not too long ago, they *almost* finessed the fighting thing.
Leap Year--they even got the geography of Ireland wrong in this picture.
Both my husband and I loved Leap YEar -- we have watched it twice. It makes us laugh and he always hugs me tight when we watch it. One man's trash is another man's (woman's) treasure.
Haven't seen "High Spirits". As for the one of the worst Irish movie of all time, I nominate "The Quiet Man". Yes, yes, I know maybe the majority of youse liberal omadhauns love(d) it, but I thought it rollicking only in stupidity. On the other hand, if they would do a remake with Amy Adams playing the Maureen O'Hara part, I'd see it even if they got Tom Cruise as male lead again with his miserable excuse for an Irish accent.
I saw all of the films and they are silly..ok trite. The best reason to see any of them is the scenery which makes for some memory recall of travels past.
Never heard of these filims (is that a bad enough Oirish accent?). I think I'll see 2-3 of them. They sound entertaining for late night.
I also love High Spirits and catch it whenever it's on TV, haven't seen the others either, must have read the reviews when they came out.
Well, I LOVED High Spirits, thought it was cute. But I didnt see the others so cant/wont comment on them.

But I can't > stop worring about unexpected collapse... You shouldn't use ext3 for this situation. How is your RAID set up in terms of partition table? It needs to be gpt based. Last I checked, Redhat/Centos 5.x had problems booting from GPT (is this still true?) based systems. I would suggest carving out a LUN specific for boot/root, and use the rest for storage. Moreover, use the xfs kernel module. If rockslinux 5.0 doesn't support it, I'd suggest looking at different distributions (seriously). Large file system support is not something ext3 is good at, and it is something xfs is very good at.
