An unexpectedly strong report on U.S. economic growth pushed stocks higher Friday, capping off Wall Street's best week in three months. The report showed the U.S. economy grew at a healthy 4.1 percent annual pace between July and September, the latest positive piece of economic data investors have gotten in recent weeks. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 42.06 points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,221.14. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 8.72 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,818.32. The Nasdaq composite added 46.61 points, or 1.2 percent, to 4,104.74. For the week: The Dow rose 465.78 points, or 3 percent. The S&P 500 rose 43 points, or 2.4 percent. The Nasdaq rose 103.77 points, or 2.6 percent. For the year so far: The Dow is up 3,117 points, or 23.8 percent. The S&P 500 is up 392.13 points, or 27.5 percent.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Natural Gas Country Notes
Proved recoverable reserves (bcm) |
338 |
Production (net bcm, 2005) |
1.5 |
R/P ratio (years) |
>100 |
In terms of natural gas reserves, Peru is placed in the middle rank of South American countries, alongside Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. The Peruvian WEC Member Committee reports proved recoverable reserves as 11 927 660 million cubic feet (337.7 bcm) at end-2005. Some published sources (Cedigaz, BP) concur, but OGJ and World Oil specify a lower figure (247 bcm) which probably reflects the end-2003 level.
The WEC Member Committee also reports that 97.4% of Peru's 'proved reserves' are non-associated and that reserves recoverable, in addition to the proved amount, are some 193 bcm - this reflects the level of 'probable reserves' published by the Ministerio de Energía y Minas, which also quotes 'possible reserves' of 11 612 bcf (329 bcm) in its Anuario Estadístico de Hidrocarburos 2005.
Gas output used to be mostly associated with oil production, but the coming on-stream of Pluspetrol's non-associated gas production in the Selva Sur has radically altered the situation, such that less than 17% of gross production in 2005 was associated with oil production. An appreciable proportion of production (68% in 2005) is re-injected. Flaring and shrinkage are reported to be on a small scale.
Marketed production of gas averaged about 0.4 bcm/yr from around 1990 until 2003 but rose sharply in 2004 and 2005, with Pluspetrol's new output. Electricity generation accounts for about 80% of Peru's gas consumption.

An Open Letter [from Quebec activist] to the Mainstream English Media
". . . . here is what I have not seen you publish yet: stories about joy; about togetherness; about collaboration; about solidarity. You write about our anger, and yes, we are angry. We are angry at our government, at our police and at you. But none of you are succeeding in conveying what it feels like when you walk down the streets of Montreal right now, which is, for me at least, an overwhelming sense of joy and togetherness. . . ."

Lindsay Davenport can laugh about it now, but the nerves before a Grand Slam final were no joke at the time.
"I played in six Slam finals. I won three and I lost three," the Australian Open 2000 titlist related this week. "Each one I wanted to throw up every time I took to the court!"
Nerves will inevitably play a part in Saturday night's women's final between Victoria Azarenka and Li Na too. In fact, in some ways, nerves may have already played their part in determining the Australian Open 2013 women's champion, as evidenced by Azarenka's stunning post-match admission that she almost experienced "the choke of the year" in surrendering four match points before her semi-final victory against Sloane Stephens.
The timing of that statement – delivered in Azarenka's post-match o- court interview in which she was asked to explain an injury time-out – was unfortunate, but it underlined the pressures that accompany such deep progression in a Grand Slam event. Claiming a prize that's as momentous as an Australian Open title requires far more than physical skill alone.
As Davenport also explained, it's a feat of endurance that often comes down to the mental kind. "That's the challenge of the Grand Slams, it's the 14 or 15 days of keeping your focus and concentration day in and day out," she pointed out.
"To be honest, a lot of times towards the end of a tournament, you're so mentally fatigued it really goes to show just who can just handle the situation better."
Davenport, who claimed her first major at the 1998 US Open and her second at Wimbledon the following year, believes the opportunity that's created by progressing to a Grand Slam final can be overwhelming – and for that reason, the American can't name one such occasion that was more nerve-wracking than another.
"It didn't matter," she said. "That's just the reality of the situation. Very rarely, growing up when you have a dream, so few times does (fulfilling) that ever become possible. I was always well aware of that and well aware of everything I had worked for going out to play one of the finals."
Martina Hingis, a winner of five Grand Slam finals and a finalist in seven others, also has a hard-gained perspective of competing for such high stakes. The Swiss star was known for her calm tactical abilities on court, but admits there were times when she had to work on it.
"If it's a past champion, already she knows what it feels like to go out there, but you still have those little jitters, I guess, before walking on," Hingis said.
"But you're already kind of happy that you made the final, so it's like a big occasion. Then you just want to perform at your best."
For Hingis, it wasn't merely the big occasion of a Grand Slam final that created the pressure but often a consequence of which player she was facing in it. She recalls the 1997 US Open against Venus Williams as being particularly nerve-wracking – although, given she claimed that match 6-0 6-4, she clearly managed the situation well – and could be equally anxious before a big meeting with Serena Williams or Davenport.
Equally, the question of which Grand Slam final she was contesting also had an influence on her mind power.
"Here in Australia I felt like this was my backyard," she noted with a smile.
Margaret Court – who arguably handled the pressures of a Grand Slam final better than any other player given that she claimed an unequalled 24 of them – also found that location could influence her pre-final emotions. Contesting Australian Open finals was particularly nerve-wracking, primarily because how much winning them mattered.
"Having won 11 of them, it was always lovely to be your own nation's champion and the No.1, particularly when you were going away overseas," she said.
An equalising factor in today's final could be that both players have already experienced the high-stakes occasion at least once – Azarenka as the Australian Open 2012 champion and Li as the 2011 finalist and French Open winner just a few months later.
Having to fight for earlier victories at this event can't hurt either. As Court noted, "I think if you've had a couple of tough matches, it can help you if you do get into a tight position, knowing everything hasn't been too easy for you, that you've played your way out of some things ... that helps a lot."
So too does the fact that when inevitable mental battles begin, the hard work in physical preparation can play a part.
"I think you know you've put the work in," Court said.
"Everybody wants to win it, and it's the best person that's playing the best on that day, but it's always lovely to get to the final."
Azarenka or Li would almost certainly agree – if not before today's final, then at least at some point soon afterwards. Nerves or not, like Davenport, Hingis and other Grand Slam finalists before them, some day they'll look back on this one and smile.

Informed decisions for optimal credit offers
Finding the right loan with the best conditions is not so simple. Although it appears when looking at different loan comparisons on the Internet as if they could just put all these loan terms next to each other and decide on the basis of the APR can decide which of these credit "the best", but unfortunately is not the whole thing so easy.
While there are online and compare credit cards clear tables , where you seem to see at a glance which loan is best, but that must be considered separately. The annual percentage rates specified in this fact based on the assumption of a specific credit rating (usually a fairly optimal) and also on other conditions accepted as a given. But these assumptions need not necessarily apply to the consumer, who is conducting the comparison credit. Thus it may well be that no comparison determined that the credit offer the lowest credit costs brings with it, but something quite different.
The following strategy therefore makes sense: you can easily document the top 3 or top 5 personally determined to get the banks, it fills with the information from the own credit standing and sends them back. Of the corresponding banks will now be specific offers that are tailored personally to get one that can be a major objective comparability in terms of APR are subjected.
In addition to the annual interest rate but also play a role in other data, so that credit offers can really compare objectively with each other. Thus, one should also include payment protection insurance, options for early repayment and of course the credit period with his thoughts.

In wake of school shootings, officials say it's not feasible to have an armed guard at every building
A week after the tragic shooting in Newtown, Conn., National Rifle Association Vice President Wayne LaPierre called for an armed guard in every school to help prevent similar incidents from happening again.
But in Washtenaw County, school officials said posting guards or police officers at schools is simply not financially feasible.
The issue of school security continues to be a concern for school officials and parents alike in the wake of the Connecticut tragedy. A teenager's shooting and critically wounding another student in a California school Thursday could thrust the issue further into the limelight.
Representatives from Ann Arbor Public Schools, Ypsilanti Public Schools, Lincoln Consolidated Schools and Saline Area Schools all said their districts are reviewing their safety procedures in the wake of the Newtown tragedy. However, at this point, adding more security — in the form of additional police liaison officers or armed guards — is not on the table.
Steve Laatsch, assistant superintendent of instructional services in Saline, said the district held a meeting last week to get the the review of school security started. At this point, increasing the amount of armed security in school buildings isn't being talked about, he said.
"Financially, we aren't in a position to house every school with a police officer," he said.
Saline Area Schools splits the cost of the liaison officer at Saline High School with the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety. Laatsch said the total cost to the district to have the officer at the high school is $47,000.
Ann Arbor Public Schools was paying approximately $350,000 per year to keep liaison officers at Huron, Pioneer and Skyline high schools before ending the program before this school year to save money.
Ann Arbor schools spokeswoman Liz Margolis said the district is working with the Ann Arbor Police Department to review risk assessment plans at each of the schools in the district.
"I do not believe we would opt for armed guards at our schools," she said.
Ellen Bonter, superintendent of Lincoln Consolidated Schools, said having a liaison officer in schools is not the only thing that determines the safety level of a building. Officers are just one level of the precautions districts take to protect their students, she said.
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office has one deputy assigned to the school district. A new deputy was recently assigned to the district. The previous liaison officer had worked in the district for 11 years, Bonter said.
She said the relationships liaison officers develop with students, staff and the school community are more important to school safety than the gun holstered at the deputy's waist.
"This relationship extends to our children, our parents, our staff and others that interact with our schools," Bonter said. "That is so much more valuable, and provides much more security within our community, than any simple security guard function."
Some officials are also concerned about the effect having an armed guard in every school would have on the students who are in the buildings every day.
Sharon Irvine, executive director of human resources at Ypsilanti schools, said the armed liaison officer is important to safety at the middle and high school levels. However, she's not positive having an armed guard in the district's elementary schools would do any good.
"Armed officers are critical for the safety of YPS students in secondary buildings," she said. "However, it is not likely to make elementary buildings safer, except to handle a rare situation like Newtown."
Laatsch said it's possible to argue a school would be safer with an armed police officer in each building. But, Laatsch said district officials have to be careful to keep school buildings vibrant places of learning and having officers patrolling the hallways with guns could detract from that atmosphere.
"My own opinion is we have to be careful about what we turn schools into," he said, adding officials have to consider "the overall impact of what schools become when you start doing that."
Instead of making rash decisions in the wake of a tragedy, Laatsch said Saline officials want to make sure any new policy is measured and well thought out.
There are a lot of ideas being proposed and discussions will be taking place during the course of the month on how to improve security in schools, Laatsch said. There are safety plans for every building in the district and those are being reviewed as well.
"We're being proactive about this and looking at policies and procedures, but we're not going to enact some policy that doesn't make sense because we're being reactive," he said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Getting a meal on the dinner table continues to be a struggle for a number of Ohioans.
New data from the U.S.D.A. indicates food insecurity remains a problem, with more than 16 percent of Ohio households experiencing a time during the year when food intake was reduced and eating patterns disrupted because of a lack of money and other resources for food.
President of the Food Research and Action Center Jim Weill says food insecurity is an across-the-board problem, affecting people of all ages. Said Weill: "There are too few jobs and jobs frequently are paying wages that aren't enough to lift families above the poverty line, and that shows up in the food insecurity numbers. Appalling numbers of Americans report struggling to buy enough food to last the entire month."
Weill said that SNAP benefits will drop in November with the expiration of the stimulus spending from 2009. For a household of three, it means $29 less a month to spend on food.
According to the report, the overall rate of food insecurity remained virtually unchanged since 2008. Still, one-in-six Americans lived in households struggling against hunger in 2012.
Ohio Ranks 10th in the nation for low food security.

Comfortable Seats
Sheepskin is a natural insulator - your seat will feel warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Sheepskin allows the air to flow between you and your seat, creating a natural insulation effect that will keep you at a comfortable temperature all year round. Sitting on fleece supports the body and reduces pressure points, allowing for maximum comfort even on long drives.
Durable Sheepskin Car Seat Covers with Protection
Each Jeep Liberty sheepskin seat cover has a leather hide with one-inch fleece. This creates a protective layer over your seats which will stop all dust, dirt and spills. These seat covers are very durable and have been known to last up to 15 years on the same vehicle.
Sheepskin - More Information:
Seat Maintenance:
Vacuum your seats regularly to get rid of dust and dirt. A wide tooth comb or wire brush will maintain the condition and look of your fleece seat. For regular bucket seats, rotate the driver and passenger seat covers to insure even wear and longevity. With proper care, your car sheepskin will maintain its attractive look and continue to serve you well for years to come.
Cleaning Your Fleece Seat:
We recommend professional cleaning. The seat covers may also be machine-washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, using a liquid wool washing soap. Please hang to dry. Do not put in dryer.
Seat Covers with Airbags:
Shear Comfort seat covers can be altered to accommodate side airbags in the vehicle seat. Some of the most popular models with side air bags in seats are listed below:
- Volkswagen Beetle
- Toyota Prius
- Volvo vehicles
All Shear Comfort seat covers have a 1-year warranty against any defects in workmanship and materials. Additionally, Shear Comfort will guarantee the fit of all products whether universal or custom. Note: No returns for warranty or otherwise will be accepted without an RGA (Return Goods Authorization) number. See Return Policy.

Perception and Funding
It is unfortunate that so many of the State agencies tend to ignore social enterprises as a source of job creation and value creation. Perhaps this is in part because social enterprises tend to play down this part of their development instead concentrating on their social agenda or objectives.
As other countries develop the infrastructure to support and grow the social sector, Ireland will need to play catch up. More defined research about exactly how many jobs are in the sector and an estimation of how many could be created with some support would be helpful for the argument. Where countries have developed strategies around social enterprise, they have highlighted the greater value the sector is creating. At a time when the dole numbers are increasing on a weekly basis, it may be better for the sector as a whole to give an additional angle to the government and public at large.
The days of enthusiastic but amateur local social enterprises is somewhat at an end. Organisations like Social Enterpreneurs Ireland have been highlighting social entrepreneurs for some years now and this at least is a start but I am constantly amazed at how many people look blankly at me when I talk about social enterprises. Not only that but I recently had an argument with some associates recently, most of whom worked in industry who had a rather jaundiced view of the sector and saw it mostly as an additional to the welfare state at best.
We need considerably more promotion of the sector so that people see any investment as just that – an investment and not the old idea that this is money for social programmes that at best stem social problems and don't create value. Perception is reality, and at the moment for the vast majority the perception is not in the sectors interests.

Lot of good comments. I am in between. I thought I was seeing progress with the team i.e. the younger players but somewhere in the middle it seems they regressed. For example look at the last several games and how Hall has has become a liability in TOs and shooting, McDaniel was listless against Miami and only showed up in last few min. of game. Roper seems to be the only one with energy. 4 years with Booker has netted an average player and God only knows what 4 years of Jennings has produced. Have watched almost every game and the feeling I get is a lot of tension in the team, especially with Hall and Coach. Over the last several gamess I have asked non CU people to watch game with me. Every one says they look confused, tentative and poorly coached. I worry about next year. Roper and McDaniel ( if they stay ) are solid. Hall probably is not the point guard, he was not in HS but he will not push roper out of the 2 guard. No big man and as most have observed we seldom get the Fr that walks in and excels. I do not accept the bad luck theory on close games, yes it happens to all teams but when it happens over and over something is amiss. Notice all are with good teams which probably means they come in not expecting much and playing down to our level. Hard to be optomistic about the future under brownell. We have no wins this year that NCAA would consider good, but losses at Coastal and at home would be bad losses. I like the coach but I have this gut feel he is like Bowden and that never worked out.

I have alot of these things on me. Some old faded ones on my stomach, and sides from gaining weight. I have new ones from muscle growth under my arm pits, and on the lats. Also on the sides of my chest. They suck. I've been using vitamin E and scrub them everyday to elicit a collagen response from the body.
Anyways I'm looking for some advice. I'm not going to accept anyone saying "there is nothing you can do, you're screwed." There is always something you can do. I have seen laser treatments that fade them and reduce their depth. I have even seen that emu oil is sucessfully in healing them to some degree.
Can anyone else share any insight on these things?

When you click on your list of subscribed threads, there's a little triangle that's supposed to take you to the first post you haven't read in a thread. Problem is, if you don't check the message board within a few hours this site ignores the post you last read and moves it up.
Case in point, open up a list of threads you haven't read before and click on the triangle. Logically, if you've never read the thread you should be taken to post #1. But as you can see, you'll be taken to a post from the past few hours. Makes no sense.
If you've been away for a couple days, you are completely lost when you come back until you take the time to re-read every thread until you see a post that vaguely looks familiar, then start reading again. It also means you will miss a whole bunch of new posts because the thread title won't get bolded and you won't know to click it unless you carefully look at the dates. IMO this is the #1 bug on this message board and makes it hard to follow threads.
I don't understand why the first new post button doesn't take you to the first new post

Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush raised $17,000 in the first half of 2012, and has roughly the same amount in his campaign account, according to his campaign finance disclosures filed with the state.
But Mr. Blankenbush, R-Black River, has no opponent on Nov. 6, meaning that he can squirrel away some money for potential future runs.
Mr. Blankenbush's fundraiser of choice is the golf fundraiser. As noted by Jimmy Vielkind at the Times-Union, it's not an unusual method.
Among Mr. Blankenbush's donors are several county legislators, both in Jefferson (Phil Reed, Jim Nabywaniec, Barry Ormsby) and in Lewis (Jack Bush, Rick Lucas). Matt Doheny donated, too, as did Nancy Martin, the St. Lawrence County GOP chairwoman.
He also took in donations from the New York Gaming Association — the Turning Stone casino is now in his district — and a few ag organizations.

1) Songkick: The site and app provides a dead simple way to track your favorite artists and sends you notifications when one of your tracked artists books a gig in town. The site also lets you browse through your location to find out who's playing in your city on a particular day. Other than the tracking feature, which works great, the site also recommends you similar artists to start tracking. When visiting their browser site for the first time, it's much easier to find artists you already know about than to discover new artists that happen to be in your town. If you download their iPhone or Spotify app or integrate with Facebook, Songkick will scan your music to find artists you listen to who have concerts scheduled nearby.
2) Bandsintown: This app works similarly to Songkick, where you can track artists that you like for upcoming shows. Bandsintown has a very deep integration with Facebook, with many artists keeping a tab on their Facebook Timeline specifically for tour dates through Bandsintown. One great feature included on the website is a "Concert Cloud"—just like a tag cloud, the Concert Cloud tab includes a list of artists with ones that you track in bigger and bolder typeface. Even better, there are three sliders that let you select the date range, distance from you location, and maximum ticket price to narrow down the search results. If you happen to be in a city like New York, where a lot is going on, the list can be a bit hard on the eyes. The customization on the left, however, makes it easier to tweak your searches without navigating to a new page.
3) Live Nation: The LiveNation Concert Calendar app pulls in your data from Facebook to recommend you shows in your area via Ticketmaster's concert and comedy show listings. Although it's not as snazzy as apps like Songkick and Bandsintown in terms of its functionality, TechCrunch's review says the graphical interface is worth checking out.
4) ConcertCrowd: This app works mostly on your Facebook 'likes' to give you concert updates in your area, but you can also follow what your friends are interested in to get more recommendations. ConcertCrowd works off of new music you discover through the app, your current 'likes', and your social graph.
5) SeatGeek's Columbus: Not to be confused with Columbus, Ohio, SeatGeek expanded their product offering to give you personalized live event recommendations. Submit a few of your favorite artists and performers and they'll do the rest. SeatGeek provides interactive maps of venues to give you the best deals and information on ticket purchases—now they do live event recommendations as well.

I'm an American shopaholic let loose in Cork City

Hannah styling in Irish buys |
I may have mentioned that I love shopping in last week's article, but I will say it again: I LOVE SHOPPING!!
This is almost to a fault, that said I am an extremely budget conscious shopper who will search and search for good deals and regularly frequents the sale racks. The only clothing items I will buy at regular price are usually jeans (on the rare occasion that the store has my size in the correct length), swimsuits, and the occasional sweater - everything else is usually used in conjunction with a coupon or "Buy one-get one" deal, or comes from the clearance rack.
These habits were thrown right out the window the second I stepped into Penney's. I had heard from dance friends who go there every time they are overseas that the prices are really affordable, I just didn't know how affordable they really meant. A couple of pairs of €9 'jeggings' and €11 skinny jeans later, I found my friends were right, it is affordable and the clothes are pretty cute. I also found a few long sleeved shirts and sweaters along with a pair of slippers there for under €25 total as well. I can tell this store is going to be the death of me. It has everything a fashion lover on a budget could want; nice jeans, adorable shoes/heels/boots, and a killer accessories department that has everything from socks, bags, and scarves to row upon row of jewelry.

Every time I am in Penney's it seems like most of Cork City is there too. The location in the City Centre is usually very crowded (I have yet to see it on a "low-traffic" hour), which must mean that it is a pretty good store if it always has a lot of people going in and out. In the US, we really do not have stores like Penney's that attract a broad range of clients. In Penney's one will see women with designer handbags shopping next to young-looking teenage mom types. The US really does not have stores with such a broad clientele range (Target may be the one exception to this). There, "budget-friendly" stores usually attract an odd stigma such as an "oh you shop there" mentality ("there" meaning Walmart, Sears, and sometimes Ross and Kohl's), but not at Penney's.
They have the latest styles, and according to my roommates spending anything upwards of €40 there is almost unheard of (one of them knew someone who had spent €70 there and stated that they must have gotten a new wardrobe or a new bed and bathroom set in order to spend that much at Penney's). In short, one can buy a lot of things at Penney's. Right now, flowy, sheer blouses are quite the rage and can be paired with almost anything for a day or night look. For day, these blouses (with a lighter colored cami underneath) can be paired with skinny jeans or pants or shorts or a skirt with tights and a pair of boots. I'd recommend the chunkier, ankle boots that have recently come into style as they sort of "toughen" up the delicate look of the blouse, especially when paired with a skirt. One can also throw a blazer or nice jacket on top and add nice flats or brogues for a more polished, feminine look. For nighttime, the sheer blouse can be "jazzed" up with a bandage or "body-con" skirt as they are called in the states, a darker tank or bandeau underneath, and a pair of really snazzy heels. All of the above mentioned items can be purchased at Penney's. It is a one-stop shop for a night out or when one needs an outfit in a pinch.
Penney's also sells other things in addition to clothing, bedding, and bathroom accessories. One can also purchase shampoo, toothpaste, dry shampoo, deodorant, and self-tanner. As an Irish-dancer, I was a bit excited at the self-tanner since Penney's sells the brand I like (Rimmel Sun-Shimmer) in bulk. Their prices are cheaper than Boots Pharmacy, and there is also a tanning wipe variety so an experimental purchase may have to be made in the future.
For a college student on a budget, American or Irish, Penney's is a college student's dream. They have prices that will not break the bank and can help one stay within budget (provided a limit is set for oneself). For me, as a study abroad student, the tricky part is going to be figuring out how to get everything home with out having an overweight suitcase; if I stop thinking up excuses in which a trip to Penney's is "necessary", that should help too. Budget shopping is popular everywhere, but in the US, other than Target, there really isn't a cheap fashion/department store that attracts all sorts of people from all different backgrounds.

"Oh you shop there?" Yep, if I like it I buy it. Doesn't matter if it is Wal-Mart, Sears, Ross, Nordstrom, or Neiman's. Wait until you are out of college and enter the real world. Then tell me about where to buy clothes and etc.

I totally agree with this. Anyone who is used to shopping in the likes of Penney's really misses it when away from home. It's so easy to go in there and get a full outfit for 20-30 euro, and it's good quality too. The homewares stuff is great too. Oh, I can't wait to get back there and shop til I drop!

@Hannah, I totally disagree with you. You must not be shopping at the JCPenney or Kohls I'm shopping at. These stores and others have great sales and are filled with shoppers of all ages and all backgrounds. Where I live (Midwest) there's no stigma about getting clothes at Target, Marshalls, or TJMax, or wherever, if you can find what you want at a great price. I see teen girls and young college women shopping in these stores all the time. I've also gotten some great deals. Recently, I bought a pair of $75.00 earrings for $7.00 at JCP. I also bought pricey brand-name label capris for $6.00 and a designer knit top for $2.50. We also have outlet malls in the U.S. where I often get great deals on all kinds of things. You see everyone there, too. Maybe it's a regional difference, but my experience is that everyone shops for a great deal wherever they can find it.

You used the word 'Pennys' twelve times in this article. Lets see now. That's 3 euro's multiplied by twelve equals thirty six euro's. That's jeans, drawers and socks right there love. :)

Hi love. Speaking of penny's. There is a very old and delightful restaurant just down the road from the entrance of the college you are attending. Its called Penny Dinners. Has been in existence for over 150 years. Best of grub, quirky patrons and the food is nice and very reasonable in price. I'm surprised the lads at the UCC have'nt told you of this restaurant. All four of ye, and it has to be all four of ye. Should pay a visit and have a slap up meal. After all being students bobs must be tight. Enjoy the restaurant, ambiance and the cuisine lads. Slainte.

AL AIN, United Arab Emirates -- Police in the United Arab Emirates say a gravel-filled truck
with faulty brakes has rammed a bus, killing at least 22 migrant workers.
Today's crash near Al Ain, about 90 miles east of Abu Dhabi, also injured 24 people. Envoys
from Pakistan, India and other South Asian countries rushed to the scene.
The nationalities of those killed were not immediately announced, but South Asians comprise
the vast majority of laborers in the UAE and other Gulf nations.
Workers are usually transported by bus from labor camps to job sites.
Brig. Gen Hussein Ahmed al-Harethi, head of Abu Dhabi's police traffic division, told the
official news agency WAM that the truck driver lost control after the vehicle's brakes failed.

Jeff has been an on-again off-again Texas Panhandle resident most of his life, and generally enjoys his time here.
AMARILLO, TX -- West Texans are a churchgoing people - there are hundreds of churches in Amarillo, and Sunday (Oct. 27) evening kicked off three days of fellowship at the Amarillo Civic Center.
The Southern Baptists of Texas is a statewide consortium of Baptist churches that meet once a year to learn how they can best serve each other to continue their mission and outreach. And that kind of cooperation and collaboration allows them to pool their resources to make the most progress in their many ongoing projects.
"We can work together as churches," said Gil Lain, a pastor at Paramount Baptist Church. "We can do so much more together than we could ever do by ourselves. So we gather together every year to encourage one another."
Baptism as a denomination can trace its roots to 1609, founded by English separatist John Smyth. And the Southern Baptist Convention has existed since 1845.
Today, members of the church say the original message has carried over through the centuries.
"The message of the Southern Baptists is Jesus. Jesus is the answer," said Pastor Lain. "He's the one who died on the cross to shed His blood to save us from our sins. He rose from the dead; He's alive today, and we just want to share the love of God."
The convention will continue through Tuesday (Oct. 27).
To you'd like to learn more about the convention or to see what's scheduled for the next two days, follow the links attached to this story.
