Every holiday season, gift cards continue to rise in popularity as handy gifts for friends, co-workers and loved ones. But to date, the gift card market has largely been dominated by big box stores, nationwide gas stations, and fast food and mega-chain restaurants. LocalEats is looking to change the gift card game with the launch of their gift card program specifically designed for locally owned restaurants. And unlike your typical gift card that's accepted at one particular retailer or restaurant, the LocalEats card is redeemable at a number of fantastic independent restaurants nationwide.
"Thoughtful consumers want to buy local, and we see no reason why locally owned restaurants shouldn't benefit from gift cards," explains LocalEats Chief Operations Officer Brian Relleva. "That's why we've created a national network of excellent locally owned restaurants that will accept the LocalEats gift card."
The LocalEats gift card is now available for purchase online at http://giftcards.localeats.com. The pre-paid card offers consumers a variety of denominations, and recipients can redeem them at any restaurant participating in the LocalEats gift card program. Relleva continues, "When it comes to restaurant gift cards, we realize local restaurants are at a disadvantage compared to chains. The LocalEats gift card is unique because recipients can choose from otherwise unrelated, independent restaurants. Our network currently features select restaurants in every major city in America, and our roster will continue to grow over the coming months."
About LocalEatsOwned and operated by Magellan Press, Inc., LocalEats is a company dedicated to providing the best curated restaurant guide in America. Founded in 1991, the company began as an independent book publishing company, which created the popular Where the Locals Eat dining guide. In 2008, the guide went digital and has become the top paid dining app in the iTunes App Store.

The app has received national recognition by The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, USA Today, Budget Travel, Business Week, Mashable, Peter Greenberg, Kim Komando Show, and CNET.

Celebrations continue throughout Movember with "Moustache Mondays" where guests can drop by to show off a well-groomed moustache or stache apparel and receive a complimentary appetizer (one per table of four). Or, receive a "bounce back" coupon good for $10 off in January and February by dining any day of the month.

Participants can enter photos of their moustache with a creative title on the Facebook page for Del Frisco's Grille Santa Monica from November 1 - 22.

The 1st Brewhouse was the first microbrewery to open in Pune a few years ago.
Run by several different people it finally came into the hands of JHM Interstate the largest independent hotel management company in the world last week when it re-opened its doors to the public. The place has gone through some changes in decor (for the better) but the beers remain the same — hand crafted by brew master Oliver Schauf from Germany. The inside is quite dark with barrels as tables and bettersuited to the evening. Outdoors is very pleasant any time of the day.

LUMBERTON - The Tanglewood Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association is raising $5,000 for additional security at the school.
Angie Bono-Severy, the PTA president, sent a letter Dec. 17 to the Lumberton City Council and the Robeson County Board of Commissioners saying she had received many phone calls about security since the shootings in Newtown, Conn., that left 26 people dead, including 20 elementary schoolchildren.
"Many parents have expressed concerns specific to Tanglewood's location," Bono-Severy wrote. "Given that we are located directly across from Tanglewood Arbor and the Southeastern Regional Medical Center emergency room, we experience an increased exposure to individuals who may pose a threat to our children."
Most of the school's entrances are locked during the day, Bono-Severy said Thursday, except the front door, which is used by parents and visitors and the door to the playground, which is the primary entrance for students housed in mobile units.
"While office staff is vigilant in their efforts to monitor those coming into the school, the simple fact remains that they cannot always be aware of every person coming into the building under the current system," she said.
The school does not have a resource officer, she said, but Lumberton police periodically drop by during patrols.
Bono-Severy said the PTA wants to add an intercom system at the front entrance for visitors, a keypad at the rear entrance for staff members and security cameras around the property. The projected cost is $5,000.
During a City Council Policy Committee meeting Wednesday, Councilmen Erich Hackney and Don Metzger and Mayor Raymond Pennington gave the school $2,000 from their community revitalization funds. The donations are subject to final approval at Monday night's City Council meeting.
Before any changes can be made at the school, the project must meet state codes and be approved by Superintendent Johnny Hunt; Stephen Gaskins, the assistant superintendent of administration, technology and plant operations; and Ernie Hammonds, the school system's maintenance supervisor.
"We encourage the school PTAs to support their schools in situations where they think there is a need,'' Gaskins said.
So far, no other schools have contacted the central office with similar requests, said Tasha Oxendine, a spokeswoman for the school system. One parent has requested that the school system install metal detectors at his child's school, she said.
Cuts in Safe Schools funding, which paid for items such as cameras, metal detectors and resource officers, have placed the "burden of supplying safety materials on local budgets, which oftentimes can't afford them," Oxendine said.
There are 28 resource officers for the system's middle and high schools.
All schools are on high-alert status as they review their security procedures and crisis plans, she said.
The Robeson County Sheriff's Office and police departments throughout the county have committed additional officers and visibility at the schools.
The school system is holding a crisis workshop and shooting drill Jan. 22 at Lumberton Senior High School. Sheriff's officers and school staff members will spend a day training to respond and remove a threat to students and staff.

As thousands of Tampa Bay area residents brace for new, higher flood insurance rates, some homeowners are taking it upon themselves to fight back.
A rally is planned in Tampa on Saturday, Sept. 28, that is meant to draw attention to the plight faced by many as federal subsidies on flood insurance policies go away,according to The Tampa Tribune.
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act goes into effect Oct. 1. That's when property owners in flood-prone areas will start paying rates that are hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars higher. The increased premiums are hoped to help alleviate a deficit of $28 billion in the National Flood Insurance Program, NBC News reports. Without subsidies, policy premiums are expected to soar with property owners in the highest-risk areas facing annual costs as high as $20,000.
Thousands of Tampa Bay area properties are located in what are considered flood-prone areas. The number in Hillsborough County alone is more than 21,000.
Saturday's rally takes place at Ballast Point Park, 5300 Interbay Blvd. starting at noon, according to WFLA. It is one of several rallies planned in states across the country.
For more details, check out the Tribune's full story.
What do you think about this? Should the subsidies continue? Tell us by commenting below!

With bike share programs popping up in bike-friendly cities throughout the country, a newly-formed organization, Puget Sound Bike Share (PSBS), is looking to bring bike share to Seattle.
Bike share programs consist of a fleet of rental bikes available at a network of stations located throughout a city. Bikes are available on demand to provide fast and easy access for short trips.
The current generation of bike sharing programs began in Europe in 2004 and expanded to North America with the launch of Smartbike DC in 2008. Programs followed in cities such as Minneapolis, Denver, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Boulder, and Madison. Local partners started looking at what it would take to launch a bike share program in the Seattle area and held a Bike Share Symposium in 2008, followed by a Bike Share Expo in 2009.
Resulting from those efforts and positive public response, representatives from public and private organizations partnered up to form Puget Sound Bike Share with a goal to bring bike sharing to King County by 2014 .
"Bike sharing is an innovative approach to urban mobility, combining the convenience and flexibility of a bicycle with the accessibility of public transportation," states the organization's website. "Our vision is to provide King County residents and visitors access to a low-cost, fast, flexible, and convenient transportation alternative with economic, social, and environmental benefits to the region."
The non-profit 501(c) 3 status pending organization includes representatives from agencies and institutions such as King County, the cities of Seattle, Redmond, and Kirkland, Sound Transit, the Puget Sound Regional Council, the University of Washington, Seattle Children's, Microsoft, and the Cascade Bicycle Club.
PSBS is currently seeking a highly motivated Executive Director who will launch the Seattle bike share system. The ideal candidate should be a professional who is passionate about urban mobility and the potential transformational impact of Bike Share on community livability.
The Executive Director will be tasked with providing leadership for the fundraising, planning and implementation of tasks necessary to launch the bike share program.
Visit PugetSoundBikeShare.org to learn more about the organization and the Executive Director position.

Recipe by misch
"Spicy large shrimps cooked in beer which my mom makes during weekends."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
3/4 cup beer
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 green onions, chopped
Served at a wine tasting party. Everyone raved about this appetizer!
The cooking time was way too much. I should have followed my gut instead of the instructions, as after the 10 minutes that it calls for (5 before beer, 5 after), my shrimp were overcooked and rubbery. Also, the instructions don't say when to add the red pepper flakes. It should have been with the black pepper, but I didn't notice until the end and then it was too late for the flavor to really meld. In general, not flavorful enough and I ended up adding old bay. Disappointing for me, but at least guests had high praise.

I added a tad more beer and ketchup for my kids paletes but YUMMY
SOOOO yummy and spicey. My husband hates spicey food but he could not stop eating these, I've made the recipe 3 times always turns out great, I didn't have fresh ginger but used the dry one and it was just fine
this was a very easy and delicious recipe! I served it over polenta for a main dish.
5 stars and around the world good!
Relatively good but lacked some flavor. I ended up squeezing lemon over a few to try and that seemed to help. I thought the cook time on the shrimp would be too long also, (so I cooked them less) then finished in the sauce.

You can always count on Ed Asner for a good interview. The outspoken seven-time Emmy winner turns 84 on Nov. 15, has two fun TV appearances coming up and couldn't help calling out Hot in Cleveland for recently snubbing him and pal Gavin MacLeod.
"My knees are killing me," moans Valerie Harper, lifting her gold lamé gown and showing off two knees wrapped in heavy bandages. It's moments after her elimination on Monday night's Dancing With The Stars and Harper is cheerfully working the press line, flashing the smile that belies the crushing diagnosis she was given in January: That her lung cancer, which she thought she had beaten, had spread to the membranes surrounding her brain and that she had three to six months to live.
"I feel very happy that I was here for four dances with Tristan [MacManus]," she says.read more
For 16 seasons, Tom Bergeron has been the maestro of the circus that is Dancing with the Stars. And even he says that the changes the show has made for its 17th season — including returning to a single-night format and changing the layout of the ballroom — have taken some getting used to.
"It's a little weird," Bergeron tells TVGuide.com of the show's new structure.

When friends Matthew Hollis and Victor Lyons arrive in Rio de Janeiro with their teen daughters, Matthew is soon swept up in a web of sexual exploits.
Michael Caine plays a man on holiday in Rio with his teenage daughter Nikki, his best friend Victor (Joseph Bologna) and Victor's sexy and flirtatious daughter (Michelle Johnson). When Caine falls for the daughter, Jennifer, the pair embark on a secret, if slightly one-sided relationship. Johnson's father is furious when he finds out about an 'older man' in his daughter's life, and asks Caine to help him track down her lover. Loosely based on the French farce Un moment d'égarement.

This is the calm before the new-season storm. A week from now, only the most advanced devices will be able to handle the crush of new (and mostly returning-hit) programming airing on Thursdays, with expanded season openers of long-running faves The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation and Grey's Anatomy among the draws.
By comparison, this is a much quieter Thursday, although NBC once had high hopes that the two-hour climax of the seemingly endless and haplessly muddled Million Second Quiz (8/7c) would be something to shout, instead of yawn, about. Instead, the peacock's more anticipated headliner is Valerie's Story — A Meredith Vieira Special (10/9c), an hour-long good-news report from the former Today co-anchor chronicling Valerie Harper's unusually public battle against terminal brain cancer. read more
It seemed as if the whole room was holding its collective breath as Valerie Harper took to the dance floor on Dancing With The Stars Monday night. Would the beloved star of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, a 74-year-old who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, get through 68 seconds of non-stop fox trot?
Heads will roll — and more than a few eyes — in Fox's lavishly entertaining but hopelessly convoluted new supernatural thriller Sleepy Hollow (Monday, 9/8c), which officially kicks off a new season of network premieres. Given how ordinary so many of the networks' new shows are this fall, it seems a bit churlish not to wholeheartedly embrace a series that is anything but ordinary. And yet by the end of an opening hour that gets off to a spectacularly fun start, I wanted nothing more than for it to just shut up with all of the apocalyptic mumbo jumbo.
On the plus side, a star is unquestionably born in Tom Mison, a winning British actor who makes for a dashing and amusing action hero in this bold re-imagining of Washington Irving's iconic Ichabod Crane (from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which we've heretofore seen Disney-fied and Tim Burton-ized).

Dancing with the Stars returns for its 17th season Monday, after going through an overhaul this summer. In an attempt to curb the show's steadily declining ratings,Dancing has made a number of changes for the new season, including returning to a single-night format.
"Obviously it's always very challenging in ratings terms when shows mature," executive producer Conrad Green tells TVGuide.com. "I think the key is, you do need to keep innovating. You do need to keep trying new things."
At the risk of mixing one's classic-comedy metaphors ... While watching the ladies of The Mary Tyler Moore Show reunite for a chipper if undeniably poignant exercise in meta nostalgia on TV Land's Hot in Cleveland (Wednesday, 10/9c), you might find yourself wistfully recalling the old Carol Burnett Show theme: "I'm so glad we had this time together." This is especially true for the iconic buddy duo of Mary and Rhoda, with Mary Tyler Moore appearing even more frail than Valerie Harper, whose inspiring public battle with brain cancer pretty much defines the quality once attributed to Mary Richards: "spunk."

Over the last few years a potential land acquisition opportunity was identified near the southeast corner of the lake along Eagle Lake Road.

T. Furth Center for Performing Arts
Trine receives $3 million in gifts for performing arts center
ANGOLA, Ind. – A community dream is $3 million closer to becoming a reality.
Since January, Trine University has received $3 million in new gifts and commitments for the restoration and renovation of T. Furth Center for Performing Arts, which will create an artistic venue, not only for students, but for the city of Angola and northeast Indiana.
Three contributors are playing new leading roles in the fundraising efforts. Tri-State College 1954 mechanical engineering graduate and board member Tomas Furth, the center's namesake, Tri-State College 1966 accounting graduate Cliff Ryan and his wife, Sig, the namesakes of what will become Ryan Concert Hall, and an anonymous donor have all given significant leading gifts in addition to their previous commitments. The Steuben County Community Foundation also made a generous gift toward the project.
"We are thrilled with these gifts and appreciate the generosity of our donors that allow us to move ahead with transforming this community treasure, the old Angola Christian Church, into a performing arts facility that will be second to none in our region," said Trine president Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D.
The Furth project began in 2006, when Trine University officials and trustees and local leaders saw the need for a performing arts center. A comprehensive community needs assessment, which was completed in 2006, confirmed that opportunities for creating, appreciating and interacting with the arts were absent from northeast Indiana, limiting opportunities for students, youth and families. Trustees and honorary doctorate recipients Ralph and Sheri Trine stepped forward to acquire the facility for the university and provide the opportunity for this dream to become a reality.
"These additional gifts allow the university to forge ahead with completion of Ryan Concert Hall, which will become an icon for the city of Angola and our community for years to come," Brooks said. "We also will advance our plans for the second phase, which includes the addition to the facility and enhancements to classrooms, practice rooms and offices."
Trine officials do not have an anticipated opening for the Ryan Concert Hall, as additional funds still are required to complete the entire project. To learn more about the project, contact Trine's office of alumni and development at (260) 665-4114. To play an integral role in the renovation and restoration of this historic treasure, make a gift online today at www.trine.edu/give.

From the gridiron to the Consumer Electronics Show, Tim Tebow hits the Las Vegas strip with SOUL Electronics to unveil his limited edition headphone signature series, the SL300, and his new athletic line of headphones the Combat+ line. Handpicked and inspired by the football great, the SL300 is a game-changer in the personal audio industry. "Tim Tebow exemplifies strength and perseverance. We [SOUL] wanted to capture these qualities in his signature headphones, and develop a world-class headphone inspired by a world-class athlete," says Lan Kennedy-Davis, CEO of SOUL Electronics USA. "This series goes beyond great music… for us; it's about achieving greatness, and Tim Tebow stands for greatness." For many athletes, like Tebow, music is an escape from the daily grind and the pressures of a big game. Great music can put these athletes in the 'zone' guiding them to a place of focus and preparedness. The SL300 couples Tebow's headphone desires with SOUL's core values, which include superior sound in an attractive design. Tebow handpicked the blue and white colors in his signature series. The exterior is a sleek monocoque design with no exposed hinges, giving the headphones the look and feel of a futuristic racing car. The SOUL badge on the ear cups illuminate. These are two features among others unique to SOUL's SL300. Stellar noise-cancellation technology creates a unique, fully isolating audio experience blocking out the extraneous, unwanted noise of the surrounding world. Developed by a military engineer, who holds patents on noise-cancellation technology, the noise cancellation feature is second to none, and leaves listeners with only pristine, balanced and clear music. The SL300 are the only headphones on the market that will continue to work in a passive mode if the battery runs out of juice. Advanced driver and circuitry design ensures superb bass, clear mids and highs to create high precision audio balance. Full ear cup articulation ensures the best and most comfortable fit every time for a longer listening experience. The SL300 by Tim Tebow includes a tangle-free audio cable with an Apple in-line controller that will not short out because it is sweat resistant. A standard tangle-free audio cable is also included in the package. The headphones can be folded for easy storage and portability. The SL300 by Tim Tebow retails for $299.95. It is currently available exclusively at SOUL Electronics' online store at www.soulelectronics.com at a special introductory price and only available for limited release.
I wonder when rebecca black and General Electric are going to release their debut headphones called "Is it friday yet?"
What a turd burglar. But never fear, Florida will prove their lack of intelligence, again, and clear the shelves.
I am curious about the humor behind the Florida as I am not American, there is some sort of urban legends about them?
Florida and Texas consistently have the craziest stories. Whether it's how trashy people are or just how dumb they are. They usually top the list. The entire South is a "special" breed, but those two states seems to contain the most crazy. Some may say it's just a perception, but the sane FL residents agree haha
I guess each even small countries has such regions and rather colorful people... You know... the term - gone south - has evolved form somewhere But with less alligator stories , but you have to be a bit crazy to live in place where nearby howling tornado is a usual thing BTW... Just bought for NY new headphones for my GF. Beyerdynamic DTX 910 for less than a 100$ here... What a fine thing for that cheap price, I was truly shocked - they sound very strict and linear without additional character/color and added boosted low range... and the mechanics are very versatile and comfy too. The New Creative ZxR is also out, and total silence on TPU about that here in news... pfff... So I am demanding more reviews! Today's TPU reviewed headphones should linger on the sister site only... maybe I am too old fashioned...
I figured everyone went with HD-280s for 100 or less (OK, so I don't know what the exchange rate is lol)?
Well on the other side of the pond everything almost twice as pricey, yes :/ To me here HD-280 are two times more expensive. And those were meant for my GF... Here I found a frequency graph for DTX-910... I proves the straightforward linear character at the bottom end for them. For that price again... it is very good... I guess even better than those that that douche uses there... I myself? I am using my old Beyerdynamic DT-150, those are true work horses for daily use. They are high impedance and I use them with my OTL heaphone amp... , I am happy about them personally.
Not as bad as Illinois. They are killing each other by the thousands in that liberal hell hole. At least in Florida I can hit the beach year round, no snow and gang bangers are kept in check by conceal to carry. Our crime rate is going down. Sure we might eat some face but that's just to keep the sissies up north from settling in.
Flordia went Obama. It has plenty of "liberal hell holes". Please don't try to act like your state is Tennessee, Georgia, or Alabama.
Apparently you don't know Florida as well as you think. We STARTED the stand your ground law. Also isn't Al Gore an ex Tennessee Senator?

Graphic: what Canadians choose to study today
See which programs are increasingly popular
The programs post-secondary students choose these days suggest they're somewhat aware of the job market. The first three charts below use data from the Ontario University Application Centre's January 2013 statistics, which show the number of first-choice applications to Ontario university programs from Ontario secondary school students. Degrees in fields with jobs to spare, like engineering and nursing, are increasingly popular while applicants are shying away from things like forestry, journalism and education. Still, the other charts, from a new Statistics Canada report on what post-secondary enrollments looked like nationwide in 2010-11, show that despite a shaky economy business, social sciences and humanities still accounted for half of all enrollments.

Having read Portia's unflattering comment, I wonder what this person considers to be an acceptable Irish immigrant. I had arrived in NYC before my 19th birhday, never touched a drop of booze in my wlole life, gave 4 years of HONORABLE service to the Marine Corps, joined the Amerian Legion 25 years ago, proudly display the Stars and Stripes over my garage, support candidates who are staunchly pro-American in every election and pay $50. every time visit the V.A. Hospital. Would I be more acceptable if I had ILLEGALLY entered thru the Southern Border, never served in the military, spoke little or no English and availed myself of subsidized housing, clothing allowance, food stamps and free health care?

The powers that be in Washingtom should be made aware of the fact that almost NO Irish person entered the country illegally and that nearly all have done northing worse than overstay their visitors' visas.Unlike immigrants who illigally enter the .S. thru our Southern border, it is almost unheard of for any recent arrival from Ireland to seek subsidised housing, clothing allowance or food stamps. They all speak PERFECT English and are capable of making a significant contribution to thisgreat country, as have generations of previous Irish immigrants.

Ireland needs to "drill baby drill"

Tony O'Reilly Jr, head of Providence Resources, which discovered oil off the Cork coast. |
It's exciting news, but I can't say I'm shocked by it because it always struck me as a little strange that the seabeds off the coast of Scotland should be full of oil and ours barren. Not barren, however, just a little trickier to get at. Presumably that's all changed now and Ireland is about to go into the oil production business.
One of the least discussed factors in the rise of the Celtic Tiger was the low price of oil in the 1990s. Ireland is heavily dependent on oil. Our small population means most of what's produced here has to be exported and there is also a high level of imports. Transporting goods in and out of our small island is a very oil-dependent exercise. In addition, tourists all have to travel here on fuel-hungry jets and road transport is the primary means by which people get to and from work. All modern economies are dependent on oil, but Ireland is particularly so.
The Celtic Tiger ran on cheap oil. It's no coincidence that our economy weakened as the price of oil shot up during the the last decade.

Dublin oil find may upset U2, Enya, top Irish celebs
Ireland is green, but her people are not
Sure I know. We are heading towards 'peak oil' and we're all supposed to be planning for a future without oil. Great, fine. If that's true, then that makes last week's news all the more exciting because for too long the cost of oil has been a one way street here. When oil was plentiful and cheap Ireland boomed. Now that it's scarce and expensive we're in deep trouble. What last week's find possibly heralds is that Ireland can, at least, hope to cushion the blow of rising oil prices by (a) cutting imports and (b) maybe even selling some oil on the open market. That would be special.
The same company that made the Cork discovery, Providence Resources, wants to explore the seabed off the east coast of Ireland, four miles off the coast of Dalkey, Co Dublin to be more exact. That too must happen, although the drilling will be a lot closer to the shore.
The usual the forces of 'No' can count on the support some of the wealthiest people in Ireland in their bid to prevent the drilling. Dalkey is a millionaires' enclave and many of those who own mansions with see views worry that their views will be spoiled by the sights of oil rigs along the distant horizon. "C'est la vie." My interest in their view is less than minimal.
As my mother used to tell me whenever I mentioned Ireland's beauty, "You can't eat scenery." Too true and if oil really is going to continue to get more expensive then it would be nationally irresponsible at best not to get from the surrounding seas what we so badly need: oil. A few rigs dotted along the coast will be a small price to pay.
A rendering of what the view of the Irish Sea will be like with an oil rig on the horizon. |
I won't mind the sight of oil rigs on the horizon and that's with me being skeptical that they'll be as unobtrusive as they're rendered in the oil company's prospectus.
I know the green folks are going to rant, rage and scream bloody murder. Their shrill voices will ring out in desperation, pleading with us to install solar panels in our roofs, to eat only locally produced produce, and to travel by bicycle. In other words, they want us to live the lives that the subsistence farmers enjoyed here in the 1950s.
Well, you know what? There's a good reason why that lifestyle was shunned by the very people who were living it: it's hard. Most Irish people prefer the variety, the comforts and the opportunities that our oil-based economy provides. If there is oil off the coast of Ireland and this oil can help maintain our lifestyles then there is only one thing to do: drill, baby, drill.

The cause of the collapse of the Irish economy was not the increase cost of oil,it was the cute hoors in and out of government. A main factor was the national bank of Irelands guaranteed all amounts in their bank without any limits.The capitalist investors of Europe and Ireland flocked to this candy store.Unlike other countries.The Irish bank investors were paid out in full when the econonmy collapsed at a cost of billions.When you lose money gambling ,thats it youve lost.Tony jrs point about the oil is a distraction and I believe is his way of immediately supporting drilling in Ireland.Id be concerned if this happens,why. were will the profits go.Maybe Tony is already a major investor.

You know I should leave this because you don't deserve a reply. You're not just misinformed, but you address people as only an ignoramus would.
My point was that the cheap oil in the 90s fed the Celtic Tiger and a failure to understand this helped foster the hubris that led to our housing bubble and banking crash. Too many people failed to appreciate how our competitiveness would be undermined as oil prices rose.
{Oh, and for your information, I don't get Fox News. My information comes from Ireland's daily papers, RTE & Newstalk.}

This has to be one of the most incompetent and idiotic articles i have ever read in what purports to be a semi serious online paper.Linking the oil to the decline in Our economy is like saying there is less green now and that is the reason why.The reckless lending and housing bubble caused the collapse.Hello?
"Knock, Knock". Hollow sound.Faint whiff of cobwebs and dust.I,m pretty sure this is just a case of sloppy reportage and not something more sinister .Like attempting to delude and lead astray those less adroit and aware than ourselves.But to be honest even the next door neighbour,s dog knows this.Ok i get it a brain damaged sex crazed crack smoking monkey wrote it .Ok.

None of the incompetence and recklessness that has characterised the Irish economy matters now. It's like somebody that has gambled all of the family fortune on the horses only to win the EuroMillions with his last €2.

Foresighted means in this case: To have the correct quantity from the correct material on the correct place. On modern machines it isn't always easy to watch all sizes of the process. Therefore it is important to achieve as much information as required from the process control system or the visualization.
Runs a resource short, the system diagnose this because of the integrated warehouse management
and notify directly the plant operator or the purchase of this case.
Naturally there can be actuated an automatic order.
Is the resource delivered, the system is informed about which order it concerns and can record all necessary entries.
By integration of weigh-bridge and acceptance scale also the warehouse management is up-to-date.
Such an integrated system saves both time and resources.
Failures like false material delivered or false material in the false silo, can be early detect.
Time-consuming evacuations of silos, material removal as mix and false supply are with immediate effect a thing of the past.

Take a look at where this Berrien County plow truck ended up this morning near Benton Harbor. The driver wasn't hurt, but the truck sat there and couldn't be moved for several hours. (January 22, 2013) |
It's been rough going on some of our roads Tuesday and we have had many school and delays. It's the coldest arctic blast of the winter so far.
WSBT Chief Meteorologist Paul Emmick has your evening forecast:
WSBT's Colleen Ferreira has a look at what the roads are like tonight and some tips on dealing with the extreme cold:
Make sure you bundle up and wear layers of warm clothing if you have to head outside today, and cover your head and hands to prevent frostbite.
Pet owners are being warned to bring their animals out of the cold and give them protection in weather like this.
Weather amnesty
Five local sites in St. Joseph County offer a place for the homeless to sleep and stay out of the severe cold overnight.
They offer this "weather amnesty" each night until April 1 regardless of the temperature. Some of the sites are local shelters offering space in addition to their usual beds.
People typically can check in at 8 p.m. each night and depart by 8 a.m. the next morning. But, with temperatures especially low, the Center for the Homeless let weather amnesty guests stay inside through today, spokeswoman Lisa Knox said.
And Broadway Christian Parish will consider staying open longer today, said the Rev. Nancy Nichols. Broadway typically asks guests to clear out by about 7:15 a.m. so that the room where guests sleep can be cleaned up. Then it allows them back shortly afterward as breakfast is served on Mondays through Thursdays. It then stays open until 11 a.m. for the food pantry, showers and other ministries.
All of the weather amnesty sites welcome donations of blankets, coats, socks, gloves, hand and foot warmers and other items to offer protection.
Here are the sites offering weather amnesty:
--Broadway Christian Parish, 1412 S. Carroll St. (capacity of 30 adults).
--Our Lady of the Road, 744 S. Main St. (capacity of 10 men).
--Center for the Homeless, 813 S. Michigan St. (30 adults and two families).
--Life Treatment Centers, 1402 S. Michigan St. (six adults).
--YWCA North Central Indiana, 1102 S. Fellows St. (four adult women or one family).

RSS Feed wednesday >In India, Voice Messaging Mobilizes More Effectively Than SMS
In the midst of the terrible drought that struck the Indian state Maharashtra in March 2012, a political scandal broke and revealed a top minister was helping divert water from farmers to power plants. Greenpeace India launched an awareness building campaign on May 22 by unfurling a 250 foot banner that read "Water For Farmers / Not Power Plants" over a dam. Although an online petition garnered support from urbanites, Greenpeace India needed to reach people in rural areas, the ones hurt most by the drought. The Digital Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace (MobLab) blog took a critical look at what worked and what didn't, and interactive voice response comes out a winner.
GONew Report Says Canadian Politicians' "Digital Offices" Need a Makeover
Canada has seen steep drops in political participation of late, as well a general decline in political engagement, according to Samara, a Canadian non-profit dedicated to improving political participation.

GOFor Transparency Advocates, NYPD Crime Map is Just A Starting Point

International Human Rights Day in Vietnam Marked By Launch of Blogger Network
Today a coalition of Vietnamese bloggers launched the Network of Vietnamese Bloggers (NVB), a new advocacy and watchdog group that will hold the Vietnamese government accountable for their United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) obligations and commitments.

GOJapanese PM Thinks His People Just Don't Understand The State Secrecy Bill
In spite of objections from human rights activists and members of the media around the world, Japan's upper chamber made the controversial State Secrecy Protection Bill law in a "raucous, late-night session" last Friday, December 6, Reuters reports. The House of Representatives passed the bill on November 26. Under the new law, state employees could be jailed for up to 10 years if they leak secrets, and journalists could be jailed for up to five if they use "grossly inappropriate" tactics to uncover state secrets. The passage of the bill has sparked uncharacteristically large protests in a country where protesters have often been considered a part of the political fringe.

I'm 21 years old and am a junior in college. I have been struggling with my faith since middle school and finally came out as Atheist early this school year to my boyfriend (who has been with me since high school and was going through the same thing surprisingly) and a select few friends. However, I still live at home when I'm not at the dorms. My parents are some of the most conservative Christian people I know. They already know I'm a liberal and they are upset and saddened by the fact that my political views differ so much from theirs. How do I tell them that I'm an atheist? Should I? I'm afraid if I did that my mom would want me to speak to her pastor or something. I'd say no of course, I'm an adult. But I don't want that kind of tension at home. I'm so conflicted...

An Comhdháil World Irish Dancing Top Five Girls under 14 Photo by James Browne ReelDancePix |
The first An Comhdháil World Irish Dance Championships were held at CityWest Hotel in Dublin, Ireland from April 1-7, 2012. Though the organization is more than 40 years old, past majors have only been at the All-Ireland or All-Scotland level. Dancers and teachers were welcomed to the week-long celebration of the An Comhdhail's best Irish dancers at CityWest in Dublin.
An Comhdháil Na Múinteoirí Le Rincí Gaelacha is an association which, since 1970, has certified Irish dancing teachers and adjudicators whose mission is to "foster, encourage and promote at a local level the art and practice of Irish dancing". While the website says there are a total of 24 regions located in Australia, Eastern Europe, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, most An Comhdháil competitors - and all of the 2012 An Comhdháil World Irish Dancing Champions - are from Ireland or Scotland.

Despite the near-consensus that the economy is getting stronger, the major direct indicators of economic growth remain in the tepid zone where they have been for the last year or two. In our view perceptions of economic growth have been distorted by the illusion of lowered expectations brought on by the malaise of the last five years. It reminds us of the song a number of years ago called, "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me".
Nothing illustrates this better than the cheering over last week's payroll employment report showing a November jobs increase of 203,000, accompanied by a drop in the unemployment rate to 7%. Compared to the past, however, the gain in employment was mediocre, while the unemployment drop was as much a result of a lower participation rate as it was of the rise in jobs.
The 203,000 rise in November jobs, if maintained (and this is not necessarily the case), would come to a total of 2,436,000 on an annual basis, or 1.78% of the total number of employed. This increase pales when compared to the increase seen in past economic recoveries, and is far under the level needed to engender a self-sustaining economic recovery.
We looked at the last eight economic recoveries using the official dates determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research and found that, on average, the number of employed increased 2.94% a year from the trough through the peak of the business cycle. In order for that to happen in the current cycle, the increase in jobs would have to amount to a monthly average 335,000, based on the number of people with jobs. Obviously we are nowhere near that rate of increase now or at any time since the recovery started. The November rise of 203,000 only seems high in comparison with the results of the last five years, but is an illusion based on lower expectations.[More]
The following comment brings together in one article the various themes we have been writing about weekly, and emphasizes why we are maintaining our bearish position at a time when so many bears have thrown in the towel.
The market continues to rise solely on the perception that the Fed's easy money policy can hold stock prices up indefinitely.[More]
We live in an age of anxiety, and rightly so: Worries about the global economy are most emphatically not just in our imagination. The question is, who's going to bear the blame, come November?
The Age of Anxiety? With all due apologies to the late W.H.[More]
It's time Stephen Sondheim wrote another carnival song, and, more specifically, a sequel to the hauntingly memorable "Send in the Clowns" from his 1973 musical, A Little Night Music, which has proved so eerily prophetic in describing this year's political scene. As a glance at the crowded roster of Republican wannabe candidates for the presidency in next year's election makes clear, the powers that be in the GOP obviously have taken quite literally Sondheim's injunction that served as the title of the song, while the Democrats already have their very own barker and no shortage of mountebanks ensconced in their big tent.[More]

The list of negative factors affecting the stock market has now become so numerous that it is highly likely that a severe bear market has already started. We begin with the fact that, as measured by earnings and dividends, this is by far the most overvalued market of the past century.[More]
We recently received some feedback on our commentary about whether the Central Banks' behavior is inflationary or deflationary. The following feedback came from a very sharp individual who used to be Director of Research for Moody's.[More]
