We're broke and we don't need blarney

Transport Minister Leo Varadkar. |
The euphoria generated by the visits of the Queen and President Obama has now worn off. We were on a high here for a while and it certainly was a welcome break from the depression that has pervaded the country for the past year or more. But last week it was back to reality with a bang. And boy, that reality sure is grim.
Last week the latest figures for unemployment showed that the number out of work is going up, not down; it's now at 14.8%, up from 13.2% a year ago.
Also last week we learned that the interest payments on our huge debt burden are now eating up HALF of all the income tax raised in the state. And of course the debt is still growing at a dizzying rate because the state is still spending tens of millions every day we don't have.
In fact a government minister here let it slip last week that we might need a second bailout from the EU-IMF, like Greece, which will add even more to the mountain of debt that is crushing our economy.
All told, it's a pretty grim picture. On top of that last week, government ministers were also talking about a water charge and a household charge, both of which we are committed to introducing under the terms of last year's IMF-EU bailout.
And in case you're thinking that a household charge is probably some kind of payment to have the garbage bin emptied, it's not (we already pay separately for that). It's actually a polite way of saying property tax.
So property tax is coming back, probably at a low level to start. But you can be sure it will soar in the coming years. Since most of our income tax will be going to pay the interest on the national debt, they have to get money from somewhere.
Another sacred cow was led to the slaughterhouse here last week when the Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn admitted that college fees are on the way back. So much for equal access to college for everyone with ability, no matter what your parents earn. Again, you can be sure college fees will climb quickly in the years ahead.
So last week, after all the pomp of the royal visit and the feel-good factor generated by President Obama, the hole in the ground opened up under us again, giving everyone here that sinking feeling once more.
As I said, it was back to reality with a bang. This country is so broke everyone here is going to swamped in extra taxes and extra charges until we are squeezed dry.
For the million and a half people who have a job it's tough enough. Many of them are already struggling to pay big mortgages, school fees, car payments and all the rest of the good life stuff that became normal during the boom years.
But for the nearly half a million who don't have a job, it's a struggle to keep the roof over their heads and food on the table. For those out of work and in negative equity, it's a nightmare.
All of which, in retrospect, makes that Obama speech at the huge event at College Green in Dublin look more idiotic than inspiring. All that Yes We Can, Is Feidir Linn stuff is patronizing and insulting rather than useful. It implies that we don't understand the scale of what lies ahead of us and that positive thinking is going to be enough to get us through it.
Well, I'm sorry, but a more appropriate and certainly a more honest rallying cry for us at the moment would be No We Can't.
By loading the enormous bank debt on top of our state fiscal debt, the government and our EU-IMF "partners" have weighed down the Irish economy and Irish taxpayers with a burden so great that we simply can't carry it.
It's too much. It's beyond our capacity.
The debt is already up around €125 billion, and it's predicted that it will top out at around €250 billion before we start coming down the other side of the debt mountain.
Bear in mind what I said above about half of our income tax take already being eaten up by interest payments and you get an idea of where we're headed.
And of course, there's the bigger question of the morality of Ireland borrowing all this money to pay back the bondholders and European banks who gambled on the Irish boom ... and then forcing the Irish people to pay for this with huge tax hikes and state spending cuts.
One could argue about the morality question. But it's irrelevant because it's no longer a question of whether we should pay. The fact is we can't pay, not even if we turn this country into a Third World economy with Third World services and pay levels.
So the truth is that No We Can't pay. And even if we could pay, we shouldn't pay unless there is large scale burden sharing or debt forgiveness by the European banks who took the risk and now don't want to share the pain.
The first step in Ireland breaking the EU-IMF stranglehold is us being able to go back into the financial markets again. At present the markets won't lend to us except at prohibitive rates over 10%.
To change their minds we have to get our spending down, get our budget back on track, and get some realistic burden sharing into our debt interest problem.
We were supposed to be going back into the markets at the end of next year, as the EU-IMF cash starts to
run out. But there's no sign of that being possible.
That's what the Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar said here last week. He's a young minister with a tendency to tell it like it is.
"It is very unlikely that we'll be able to go back (to the markets) next year. I think it might be a bit longer", Varadkar said. "2013 is possible, but who knows?"
There was consternation in government circles when Varadkar let the cat out of the bag. However, the fact is that if we can't get money from the markets in a couple of years, we WILL need a second bailout.
But that's not the government message. Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny and his senior ministers are sticking to the script that Ireland won't default and that we will be welcomed back into the financial markets next year.
But more and more they're whistling past the graveyard. And to make matters worse, they're paralyzed by fear and indecision, so that even starting the process of getting state spending under control seems to be beyond them.
There has been quite a bit of criticism here of that Obama speech in the past week (some of which is on IrishCentral.com), and it's not just for the way it blithely glossed over the economic nightmare that faces us.
A lot more of it was so folksy and trite that it was insulting, even if the emotion carried the crowd on the day. You can find the full text here.
In particular, the attempt in the speech to align the struggle for the end of slavery in the U.S. with the fight for Irish freedom over the centuries is far too simplistic. The Irish were as racist as anyone else, as we all know.
And the stuff about how much the Irish have done for America is true ... but as we all know it's only a part of the American story and ignores the contributions of those who came from other countries which were equally important.
Of course the crowd at College Green lapped it up. We all like to be told we're wonderful and special and therefore that we can meet any challenge in the future.
But is it really what we needed to hear from the president at this critical time in our history?
"This little country that inspires the biggest things, your best days are still ahead. Our greatest triumphs, in America and Ireland alike, are still to come," he said.
"And Ireland, if anyone ever says otherwise, if anybody ever tells you that your problems are too big, or your challenges are too great, that we can't do something, that we shouldn't even try, think about all we've done together. Think about whatever hardships the winter may bring, spring-time's always just around the corner."
This was the build-up near the end of the speech to Obama's translation of Yes We Can into Is Feidir Linn.
It's blarney, of course, more Hollywood than Moneygall.
And there were other references in the speech, like the one to "fallow fields," which just didn't ring true either.
Here's a bit of free advice for the president. The next time you're doing a big speech here, get your speechwriters to run it by me, or Niall O'Dowd or someone who knows what it's like here first. And less of the blarney would be good.
Maybe the Guinness went to his head!

"It is a policeman's duty to protect men from criminals - criminals being those who seize wealth by force. It is a policeman's duty to retrieve stolen property and return it to its owners. But when robbery becomes the purpose of the Law, and the policeman's duty becomes, not the protection, but the plunder of property - then it is an outlaw who has to become a policeman." - Ayn Rand, Source: Atlas Shrugged, P. 535 (1957).

No use bashing others. Let's pick up our breeches and help ourselves. When there was plenty of money to be exploited, no one was crying AND no one cared how they got it at the time. It's ok to be angry, but be angry in the right place and where it's productive. Stop letting big bankers and corporations walk away with all the money.

I think Obama's speech was extremely well done as a speech on the interconnections between Irish and American cultures. What it was not was a solution to Ireland's financial problems. Unfortunately, America doesn't have the money to give you, and the president doesn't have the authority to give it. Congress holds the purse strings. Americans already have far fewer social benefits than the Irish or other Europeans, and our government is debating cutting back further on things like social security (old age pensions) and medical care for the elderly and indigent.

Fine piece of work,John. The nervous Obama Circus was a disgrace to his Office and Ireland; and served only his personal Political purpose. ~ I was amused how he couldn't wait to get out of the place and head for Britain and the luxury of Buckingham Palace in London to sleep in the very bed last occupied by the future King and Queen. ~ ( Yes,try not to think about it!),leaving the poor duped Irish people to consider if they got their 25 million Euro's worth out of him. I don't think we did.

Maybe problems started when companies -like Waterford - merged a few years back with other companies(or they were taken over) We work in retail (in USA) and couldn't believe Waterford was being made in Germany and Italy! Customers were not happy about it, either. Hope Ireland starts making it again, otherwise we won't buy it. Bogus!

John you said that the speechwriters should have run Obama's speech past you or Niall O'Dowd, why don't you post the speech you think he should have given; it would make a good article wouldn't it. One other thing, are we to take it that you will be a speech writer for Niall if he runs for President?

"...So property tax is coming back, probably at a low level to start. But you can be sure it will soar in the coming years. Since most of our income tax will be going to pay the interest on the national debt, they have to get money from somewhere...." :: Typical Keynesian bull roar. 1) Blame the taxpayer. 2) Institute taxes on the "richer" job creators. 3) Whine about how it won't be enough to keep g'ment pensions really fat. 4) Persuade the media and the clueless socialists that this will be good for the economy. .... Cut taxes and let the taxpayers keep as much as possible. Cut g'ment pensions entirely. Cut wasteful spending in g'ment. If you must pay off the interest on the g'ment debt, tax the banks, tax the trade unions, tax g'ment employees = they are the ones that spent it, they are the ones that caused the inflation, they are the ones who should suffer, Not The Taxpayers. .... "It's the [British] Labour Government that have brought us record peace-time taxation. They've got the usual Socialist disease — they've run out of other people's money." - British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - 10 October, 1975

There's a lot of truth in this article, however, let us all remember one important thing: the situation we find ourselves in all around the world simply continues to be about the haves and the have nots. The Haves continue to walk away soaking up all the money and the Have Nots allow them to do it by dreaming of one day becoming a Have. If we all stopped focusing so much on money and compromising our values to get it, maybe we would make things better. That's the Spring-time we should all look forward to.

Here we go again. If things aren't working, don't do anything - complain.
How did the economic situation in Ireland become Obama's fault? Have you run out of folks to complain about and then, because someone comes in and gives folks a momentary lift - "oh yeah, let's blame him"
Had he come with boat loads of money you would have said - " No, no, we don't need YOUR money". Had he come here with advice you would have said "take care of your own house first".
Blame the folks that deserve it. Take lifts when you can and move on. Don't look for a target - get something done.
By the way, why did you take a big swing at Obama and not the Queen?

Ireland is more than broke it is insolvent several times over. Being broke seems like a dream on comparison to insolvency, which is a nightmare.

Excellent OLD WORLD SERVICE....the staff should teach many how to be of service.
EXCELLENT FOOD and overall dining experience. Best steak I've had in years.
When I'm craving steak, this is exactly what I'm looking for. My steak was perfectly cooked, the sides are very tasty, and the carpaccio appetizer was absolutely delicious. We always have a good time here.
Food and our waiter Chris were fantastic. Will definitely return in the future!
Filet Mignon was delicious, tender and soft. I found the sides of erred very carb heavy and would have liked more variety. That being said, the portions were very generous and I didnt have much room left to eat the sides. For an appetizer I had the meat empanada which was very savory. Food was definitely good. Ambiance of the restaurant was laid back and casual. Good for the family but not really for a romantic dinner.
We had such a wonderful evening there last Sunday. The food was always mouth-watering delicious. We started by sharing an appetizer of dates wrapped in bacon...full of flavor! I had my usual skirt steak & my husband had filet mignon. Both were cooked & seasoned to perfection. For dessert, we shared the crepe special of fruits with caramel. Certainly not for anyone on a diet, but boy was it yummy! Last, but not least, the service. Absolutely the BEST service we've gotten anywhere, anytime. Our server's name was Bernardo. What a charming man! We were so impressed with his outgoing personality & his ability to be attentive to his tables with the most casual ease. It made a regular Sunday's dinner into a memorable evening. Thanks so much!
We loved everything - the empanada, soup, swordfish, steak, lambchops, chips, squash, sangria, and last but not least the dolce de leche crepe. We keep coming back! Thanks for a wonderful meal.
Great food. No guilt if you have not dressed up for dinner; no feeling ridiculous if you have dressed up! Service is great...there when you need them...not there when you don't.
Been to Tango many times; local favorite for steak and potatoes. But consistently if it is busy it has taken 45 minutes or more for them to serve a steak. We sat a few minutes after 8PM, restaurant was pretty full, and were served after 9PM. The servers kept our waters full, but they need a bigger kitchen for that size restaurant. Not the first time this has happened so I think I'll avoid Fri and Sat nights from now on.
The food was all excellent. I didn't care for the two glasses of red wine much, however. The malbec & cabernet both tasted a bit sour to me.
Love it. Steaks are delicious, food is great and service is excellent. Will keep going back!
great food and atmosphere , although I booked on open table for 7pm when we arrived there was no table and we had to wait
Although it prides itself on its Argentinian beef, Tango has the best salmon I have eaten anywhere! And you simply must have the pure portena on the side. A nice wine list is accompanied by a terrific exotic cocktail selection. We tried some new (to us) appetizers including the dates wrapped in bacon. I think seriously that a full complement of apps could make a lovely tapas evening, there is so much to choose. Our waiter was sweet and attentive. I wish I caught his name to give him full credit. My third visit--I will be happy to return.
Food and service were very good however pricey. Not sure it was worth the high price as we have other restaurants that we frequent that offer similar quality for less price. Not sure we'll go back but the meal was very good and our server was very attentive and very knoweldgeable. He was very helpful offering suggestions in all courses, including compatible wine as it was our first time at an Argentine restaurant.
My husband loves a good parrillada and he thoroughly enjoyed the one he had at Tango. I love the empanadas, the milenesas, and the Tango/Argentine theme. Nicely decorated without going over the top. We have been here several times and usuall it's been very busy. This time, being the day after a long weekend, we practically had the placed to ourselves. I don't remember it being quiet the other viits, but it was this time, so that is how I rated it. Good service, not overly-attentive but just enough to be sure our needs were met. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience.
We have been to Tango before. With so many great choices in the area, we like to try new things. But Saturday we have a short window of opportunity to sneak in a romantic date night dinner. Tango was it. The food was prompt and perfect. We both enjoyed the Gazpacho which was cool and zesty on a hot day. The rest of the meal was equally appropriate, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The service was subtle and attentive. They watched for when our water glasses were low and came in for questions only when we had a break on our lively conversation. It was a wonderful start to a wonderful evening. Thank you Tango.
My husband and I both had the beef enpanadas for appetizer. They were excellent. One order is only one empanada so make sure to order appropriately. I had the beef short ribs and my husband had the grilled sirloin. Both were excellent. The sides were OK and the house made potato chips were a standout. The service was also very fast and responsive.
Tango has excellent steaks - as good as I've had. They aren't cheap, but do come with sides, unlike the very pricey steak houses that have become popular. A wonderful surprise was the Gazpacho. Absolutely delicious. The ambiance is neighborhood friendly - quick and friendly service, but not pretentious. Worth a visit.
Excellent Argentinean steaks and empanadas. They also made a great pisco sour and have a variety of good wines. Service is excellent, helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend this place.
It was a special occasion, so we didn't mind that much but it was a pretty expensive night out. Although it it probably cheaper that the expensive steak houses downtown with less attitude. The server was great.
It was a new experience having a menu with almost all meat. I was surprised that the fried potatoes were very crisp chips--I had expected them to be sautéed; so I had nothing soft to go with the meat. bread would have been welcome at that point. I had the mixed plate (forget what it was called). Sausage outstanding; meat very tasty, but very gristly, and sweetbreads overcooked. Service very pleasant and I liked that they didn't precede the evening with a long self- and food-introduction. I shall certainly visit Tango again and try another kind of meat--if I've had vegetables in another part of the day-and ask for rice or bread that time. I wish you all the very best of success.
Although I remembered Tango from a visit years ago as a great place for steak, the menu is varied and includes chicken, pasta, and one fish entree. The steak is still fantastic. The appetizer list is not run of the mill, and I suppose one could dine there tapas-style and try a lot of interesting dishes. Our waitress was very attentive and accomodating, the food came out hot (i.e. not sitting under a light), and the wine list covered a wide price range. Flan for dessert was very refreshing on a summer night. I recommend trying the steak, it's the real deal and almost melts in your mouth.
The food is really good and not expensive at all for the quality. I have been in other way more expensive restaurants in Boston well known for their meat and Tango was much better and cheaper. We go pretty often by ourselves or every time we have a visit to enjoy good meat and dulce de leche dessert. Overall, highly recommended :)
This Argentinian restaurant in Arlington has consistently good food and exceptionally good beef - their specialty. The Sangria is also good as are some of the "sides," especially the mashed butternut squash and sweet potato combo. We have also found the service here to be outstanding and friendly, and if you want to practice your Spanish, it's a great opportunity as the wait staff are mostly bi-lingual.
Happy 10 years! We had another nice meal at Tango.
Our family loves the food at Tango. Business colleagues from around the country rave about the steak. I can't comment on the wine list; we stick with a Catena Malbec, which is really rich and compliments the beef perfectly.
It is unique cuisine in this part of the world, and that is why I recommend it to anyone who's interested in experiencing something new. Having lived in Argentina I am impressed with what they have carried over--as well as some modifications for N. Americans.
I don't know how you fix this, but a small child who is screaming during an entire meal has a very negative impact on people who are trying to enjoy themselves. That problem, coupled with an already high noise level, made it very difficult for us to hear each other speak. Also, service was not as crisp as it usually is; the second bottle of wine arrived well after our entrees arrived. Also, I can't tell from my receipt whether the $15 was applied or not. The server should have reminded me that he had applied it (which I don't think he actually did).
They just changed their menu after 10 years. Some good things are missing (like the spinach empanada) but some new things have been added. I tried the steak tips which were very good with their usual sweet potato/squash vegetable and tango fries which are the best. Ended the meal with a great crepe (dolce de leche) and cappuccino. Will be back again and again. Thanks Tango.
Tango always delivers. They know who they are and they prepare their fare very well. A reserve Malbec with a hanger steak at Tango is the most dependable meal you can have in the Boston/Cambridge area. Order anything on the menu, relax, and prepare yourself for an enjoyable culinary experience.
We love the food here, and are happy we found a place that knows what "medium" really is :-) All dishes were very good. Although not exactly kids friendly, they are always good with our kids and adjust the dishes to our request. Most of noise level probably came from our children so it's possible it was more than moderate...
I could write a book about how fantastic Tango is but you need to experience it to really understand what a great restaurant is supposed to be like.
Tango is a regular choice for us because of the great steaks and potatoes. In the last 1-2 years, though, service from the kitchen has been really spotty; sometimes waiting 45 minutes or more for a steak. But this Saturday night, the service could not have been better. Apps came right away. They also included a free special of the day app. The main courses came within 10 minutes of clearing the app plates. And when we were done eating the server came right by so we could ask for the check. The only thing that prevented 5 stars for Food is that they need to make the fried potatoes slightly thicker the way they used to be so you can stick a fork through them.
My first time here. Everything was perfect. Service was wonderful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and professional. The suggestions he made were delicious. Helped us also to choose a nice Argentine. We will SURELY come back again.
Food was excelletnt. We had a reservation and our table was ready.
Steak lovers, especailly those who crave favorful filet mignon, don't miss out on trying Tango's. With their multiple offering of different reduction sauses or just have it plain it is absolutely outstanding and reasonably priced. Add to it ample sides dishes to your entre and will leave be quite satisfied after your dining experience. Bacon wrapped dates, pan seared mushrooms topped with melted cheese and a great selection of Argentinian wines are just a few honorable mentions to Tango's fame.
excellent! since we came to this country had not eaten a good steak! we loved! care environment and very good! I congratulate you!
I was going to take off 2 stars for the slow service, but realized that on this evening they were unusually overcrowded due to a coupon expiration date. The food was all excellent: in particular, the salmon had a rare delicious flavor, and the steak was top quality. The restaurant is always very noisy (not helped by the high turnout this night). Management is quite nice (and lively), as are the wait staff. All said I love the restaurant.
As always, the beef is spectacular. They have changed their menu since my last meal there, and there is only one fish item (salmon) and one lamb item. Otherwise, it's all from the cow.
Argentinians know meat and how to grill it, very good 'parrilla' and 'bife de chorizo'., and their Merlot was exquisite. Our last visit was gifted with a small guitar group that played really well, people sang along and danced.
My parents and I chose Tango for my birthday dinner since I had spent a semester in Argentina. The food was awesome! We started with empanadas which were delicious and authentic (the ham and cheese was especially good), and my father and I both ordered the filet, both of which were perfectly cooked. The homemade chimichurri sauce was delicious and made me feel as though I was back in Argentina--it tasted great with bread and on the steak. My mom had grilled lamb chops which she loved. The service was great, our waiter was very personable, helpful and attentive. The wine list was extensive, and the specialty drinks were interesting too. I had sangria made with Malbec, which i would definitely recommend. Overall, a great experience!
Tango is my favorite restaurant to visit! I'm always appreciative of their consistently delicious food, and genuinely warm service. Come to Tango to enjoy their amazing Argentine cuisine, and feel like part of the family!
This was my third visit to Tango in the last two years and it remains consistently top-notch. The wine list is both extensive and reasonably priced. The menu offers an interesting mix of Argentine and American steakhouse favorites. The churrasco (a sirloin strip steak) was fantastic. My wife raved about her lamb chops. Entress come with a choice of two sides from a selection of American and Argentine vegetable offerings. The porteno, a mix of mashed butternut squash and sweet potato, was delicious. The service was impeccable. If I had to choose one phrase to sum up Tango, I would say that it has class. Try it -- you'll like it.
We went to Tango as part of a Regent theater-dinner package. The food was very good, and the service was outstanding. The chef went around the tables soliciting information about his meals. That must take a certain level of confidence in his cooking abilities. His reports must have been all good on the night we went because he was smiling as he came to our table. Our positive input seemed to brighten his smile even more. We will go back again.
We have been here multiple times and always enjoy the food. Since I was last there, I have become gluten free. I was happy to see that they mark on their menu, which items contain gluten. Unfortunately there were no gluten free dessert items. The restaurant is a plus to the Arlington center. I would definitely recommend going there. Our only issue this time was our server was a little slow.
Though I was actually there for the company the dinner only enhanced the evening. Or put another way, I can finally answer the question as to what my last meal would be: Costillos de Cordero. As for the other details: Service was very good; the only minor negative was being a little slow to refill the water glasses. Otherwise, it was outstanding! I'd recommend Tango without hesitation and will dine there again.
Went to this restaurant on recommendation of a friend but found a few things which could improve. The chicken milianese tasted a bit like processed chicken, perhaps the way they flatten it causes the texture to change. Hubby's steak tips were tender but not very flavorful The sides were all quite good. Chocolate mousse cake was good but not outstanding, we were glad that we had only ordered the one dessert. The chocolate sauce tasted more like Hershey's syrup than a fine home made chocolate.sauce. Parking in that area is tough on a Sat night.
This was our first time at Tango, but it won't be the last. The restaurant was fabulous. Just about the best piece of filet mignon I've ever had. And don't miss the dates wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese. The service was great; well paced and attentive. Can't wait to return.

This is the Real Way to Get Cheap Auto Insurance
cheap auto insurance is a thing that we all want, but very few of us will ever have. It is not that it is reserved for only the best among us, but that it is just really hard to obtain. So with that in mind, you should know that anyone could potentially get the cheap auto insurance, but very few people have the willpower or time to succeed. They generally give up after calling one or two different insurance agencies. But that is not how you succeed, you must perservere through the tough times and call and call until you finally get someone that is willing to work with you. I know that the first time I attempted I gave up after just a few phone calls. I was very nervous and did not much like communicating on the phone, let alone asking for a better rate on my insurance. But the thing is, they are paid to try to make the sale no matter what. They get a commission if they make you pay a higher rate, but they can and they will offer you a lower rate if you push well enough. You have to just be willing to walk away, that is the most important thing I can ever tell you. If you are not willing to walk away than you are doomed to overpay for your car insurance forever. That is how you tell them that you mean business, you turn down their first offer and if they are not willing to drop it you say no thanks and hang up. Within two days you will usually get a call back and they will offer you an even better rate, this time you can take the rate if you like it. You should be about as low as it goes.

"OR2″ announced for PSP
Remember this countdown timer to something called OR2? Well, the game seems to be a PSP puzzler if this Watch.Impress page is anything to go by.
Google Translate doesn't help matters much offering only the words, "Brave man you're so scared that actual or2." What it does say, however, is that there is no price or release date as of yet.
Looks like Dig-Dug to us.

SIGNAL DEFENSE FILM blocks a wide swath of the electromagnetic spectrum, but is nearly transparent to visible light.
Image: ©CPFilms
The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...
Read More »
When a Boeing 757 struck the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, a blastproof film on its windows prevented them from shattering into a swarm of flying shards. Now, a version of that same film promises to block not only projectiles but also the collective electromagnetic chatter generated by our increasingly wireless society.
Once manufactured under an exclusive contract with the U.S. government, this recently declassified window film is now available to the public. But don't expect to see it on store shelves anytime soon. Currently, it's only available directly from the manufacturer, and at prices that will likely make it prohibitive for all but the wealthiest home owners.
The coating, which in its thinnest incarnation is only two one thousandths of an inch thick, can block Wi-Fi signals, cell phone transmissions, even the near-infrared, yet is almost transparent, making it no more intrusive than conventional window treatments. It can keep signals in (preventing attempts to spy on electronic communications) or out, minimizing radio interference and even the fabled electronics-destroying electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by a nuclear blast.
The film has already been plastered across the windows of more than 200 government buildings, including structures operated by the departments of Defense and the Treasury, as well as in the homes of high-level members of the current administration.
"We are limited by confidentiality agreements to say exactly which buildings [the window film] is on," says Kent Davies, president of CPFilms, Inc., in Martinsville, Va., which manufacturers the protective covering dubbed LLumar Signal Defense Security Film. "But immediately after 9/11 one of the senior military officials talked about a window film that seriously protected against the damage from the plane crash. You can put two and two together and assume it was also protecting against wireless signals."
But Is It for You?
Unlike the built-in security measures present in nearly all wireless routers, Signal Defense Film doesn't come cheap. CPFilms declined to give details of their pricing structure, in part because their technology is only sold as part of an all-inclusive package (of which the film is one component).
In addition, some experts are skeptical whether there is—or should be—a market for the film outside of the government and large corporations.
"If you're military, sure, it's useful. But if you're a normal person, it's kind of dumb," says Bruce Schneier, a consultant and authority in the fields of cryptography and computer security. "The way you secure wireless is [by securing your computer]—this is the wrong point to apply the solution." Without means of encryption and software-based security, he asserts, "you're out in the open anyway." Schneier himself is so confident in his ability to secure his computers that he runs a completely open wireless network in his home.
On the other hand, despite the widespread availability of wireless security features, many organizations and individuals have failed to secure their networks. In 2005, for instance, hackers broke into the wireless network of a Marshalls department store by using an antenna to remotely intercept its transmissions. Using this access as a starting point they managed to steal more than 200 million credit card numbers from a central database of customer information. The wireless network they breached was protected by Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP), an older standard whose weak encryption can be cracked in under two minutes.
An internal audit revealed that the chain did not move quickly enough to convert its networks to the stronger Wireless Protected Access (WPA) standard. When the plot was finally uncovered, TJX, Marshalls's parent company, hired dozens of investigators and offered to pay for fraud monitoring for customers whose data was stolen.

The FASB and IASB (the "boards") reached decisions at their December meeting on allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, applying the proposed model to bundled arrangements, constraining the cumulative amount of revenue recognized on licenses, and accounting for contract acquisition costs. The boards' decisions are tentative and subject to change. Other key issues still to be redeliberated include scope, disclosures, transition and certain industry specific matters.
Allocating the transaction price — use of the residual approach
The boards decided to retain the proposals in the 2011 exposure draft relating to the use of a residual approach to estimate the standalone selling price of a performance obligation. They clarified that this approach can also be used when two or more performance obligations in a contract have standalone selling prices that are highly variable or uncertain. The boards also clarified that when two or more performance obligations have standalone selling prices that are highly variable or uncertain, the transaction price should first be allocated to the performance obligations for which standalone selling prices are determinable. The remaining (residual) transaction price should be allocated between the other performance obligations using another method of estimation.
The 2011 exposure draft includes guidance on when discounts and variable consideration in an arrangement should be allocated to specific performance obligations. The boards clarified that discounts or variable consideration should first be allocated to one or more specific performance obligations using that guidance. The entity would then use a residual approach to estimate the standalone selling price of any other performance obligations.
Bundled arrangements
The boards retained the proposed guidance in the 2011 exposure draft for allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations. They confirmed that the proposed guidance can be applied to a portfolio of contracts or to performance obligations with similar characteristics, if the entity expects that doing so would not result in materially different outcomes from applying the guidance to an individual contract or performance obligation.
The boards decided not to provide an exception or practical expedient in response to the concerns expressed by the telecommunication industry on the practical challenges of applying the proposed revenue recognition model to a large portfolio of contracts with multiple deliverables. The boards were concerned that doing so would be inconsistent with the objectives of the overall revenue recognition model.
Constraining the cumulative amount of revenue recognized — licenses
The boards decided to remove the specific exception in the 2011 exposure draft that constrained revenue from licenses of intellectual property where payments vary based on the customer's subsequent sales (for example, a sales-based royalty). They agreed that when consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside the entity's influence, the entity's experience for determining the transaction price might not be predictive. Highly susceptible factors could include actions of third parties, such as sales by an entity's customers. The boards will enhance the guidance to clarify this point, and that the underlying principle applies to all contracts with customers.
Contract acquisition costs
The boards decided to retain the guidance in the 2011 exposure draft requiring capitalization of contract acquisition costs if they are incremental and the entity expects to recover the costs. An entity may elect, as a practical expedient, to record these costs as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.
The boards considered alternatives, including expensing all contract acquisition costs or allowing a policy choice to expense or recognize contract acquisition costs as an asset. They concluded that the guidance in the 2011 exposure draft is consistent with the decisions reached to date for the leasing, insurance and financial instruments projects, and the practical expedient would minimize implementation issues.
Convergence is expected for revenue recognition, as the same principles will be applied to similar transactions under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Differences might continue to exist to the extent that the guidance requires management to refer to other standards before applying the guidance in the revenue standard.
The proposal will affect most entities that apply U.S. GAAP or IFRS. Entities that currently follow industry-specific guidance should expect the greatest impact.
We anticipate the final standard to have an effective date no earlier than 2015.
The boards' timeline indicates issuance of a final standard in the first half of 2013. They are expected to finalize their redeliberations over the next few months and perform targeted outreach on some of the more significant changes.

The Pioneer SE-NC31C-K noise-canceling headphone blocks out the world, allowing you to relax and immerse into the music. Active noise cancellation removes up to 90% of ambient noise, while the 14.3mm drivers deliver strong bass and dynamic performance. Plus, 4 ear tips in different sizes are included for wearing comfort.
Filter Results |
Good sound quality weak noise cancellationPros: The headphone has good build quality and reasonable good sound quality. The noise cancellation works on low frequency noise, but it cannot block people's talk. Cons: Noise cancellation feature is weak. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not impressedPros: Relatively comfortable, work to some extent. Cons: Active noise canceling adds a hissing noise, not static really, but a very noticeable and ruinous noise for someone who wants to hear nothing but music. Other Thoughts: Got it on what was apparently clearance sale, and I'm glad I didn't pay a dollar more. I hardly ever use them thanks to the aforementioned noise. Did you find this review helpful? |
Warranty Info...Pros: Nice balanced sound. Cons: 90 Day Warranty per Pioneer Customer Support. Other Thoughts: Everybody is different in terms of fit and preference- for me though, I really like the sound and fit of these (with or W/O the noise cancelling turned on). I prefer a moderately heavy bass with good mids and highs that are not overpowering to the point of being shrill and "hissy" (w/o equalization). These fill the bill quite nicely. I must admit, now that I have heard these, I would be tempted to pay full price, but the 90 day warranty would make me nervous. It was unclear from the documents if the warranty was 90 days or 1 year, so I called Pioneer Cust Svc. The only Pioneer phones with 1 year warranty are the Digital DJ's. 90 days is a short term for such expensive phones, but at $20 on special, these were a steal. Cust Svc Rep was prompt, courteous, and in the USA. Yay!! ;-) Did you find this review helpful? |
Great alternative to the bulky over ear headphonePros: Smaller, light, great quality Cons: does not cancel as much as the over ears headphone but that is expected, the wires are not detachable so if damage you can't replace it Other Thoughts: I bought this because some time my Audiotechnica noise canceling headphone get in the way and some times hot. These are small and light but do not cancel noise as much as the over ear headphone but I already expected that. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good qualityPros: Very clear sound compared to cheaper brands. Isolates most sounds even without noise cancelling. Long cable. Noise cancelling works in constant loud environments. Cons: The battery compartment is placed in a none optimal location. It will hang unless you clip it to your clothing. Other Thoughts: Do not use noise cancelling in quiet environments since you hear the white noise. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very ImpressedPros: Noise cancellation was much better than I had anticipated. Extremely comfortable. Got them for $35 with an eggsaver deal, much better sound quality for that price lin addition to having anc included also. Cons: Minor point, I would have preferred if the battery compartment/control was located at the end of the cable, more towards the source so you might be able to put it in your pocket along with your audio device. Definitely not worth deducting an egg over though. Other Thoughts: Amazing sound quakity for the price, add to that anc and you have one hell of a deal. Sound compares favorably wwith my S4's and my Sennheiser iem's. Did you find this review helpful? |
Worked good for one weekPros: Good low frequency noise cancelling. Cons: A loud crackle has developed after one week of use. Other Thoughts: They start to hurt my ears after 30 minutes of use because the plastic housing is to large for my ears. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
2nd Pair Very GoodPros: Good job with noise cancellation. Sound good. Come with different ear bud fittings and fit my ears well. Comfortable. Cons: 1st pair had to be exchanged because of faulty wiring. Triple AAA batteries are not cheap. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pioneew SE-NC31C-KPros: Small size Cons: Don't cancel noise 3 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: These work great, bought for use on planes and in server room at work. In both situations they do their job just as expected. Cons: Not the greatest sound quality, then again they are small in ear canal buds and were quite cheap for active noise cancelling so I can't complain. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

One year ago today, I decided that my first post (published, not written) was good enough to stay here, exposed for the world to see and allowing for the expectation of more posts to come.
And they have, for the most part.
The month of February 2013 is excluded from that achievement. This little blog has been as lonely as the jersey I began knitting in January, and the new recipe books left untouched on the shelf.
I haven't had nothing to say in that time. I just… haven't quite gotten the words out.
This past year has made that feeling acute as it's never been before.
Not because I have hordes of readers waiting in anticipation for more words, but because I like coming here. And I think that sitting here, stringing words together, allowing them to show up and then rearranging them, deleting some, adding others…
Sitting here, stringing words together, is good for me. Happy birthday little blog.

James McAvoy (Wanted)
Even though we've seen him in movies before, we first stood up and took notice of this Scottish hottie last year in the Academy Award-nominated film Atonement. Ever since then, we can't get enough of James' sexy Scottish brogue or his piercing blue eyes. Luckily, we won't have to wait long to see either again—James stars opposite Angelina Jolie in this summer's Wanted.
No more pencils, no more books! Summer's officially here and we can't think of a better thing to do with all our free time than go to the movies.

Marc Anthony's a Triple Threat

The prodigal son came home...well, almost. American Idol runner-up David Archuleta was set to perform a charity concert in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah, as a way to thank his many fans in the state, but producers of the hit show pulled the plug on the performance a few days before.


text: This week Ray has gone to Pakistan to climb really big mountains so we had a glass of wine with lunch on Friday to farewell him. The Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru 'Les Prulieres' 2008 turned out to be an appropriate benchmark. Light in colour and density, the wine was very floral and fruit driven, with lovely soft, chalky tannins. Considering the similar seasons of Burgundy in 2008 and Geelong in 2011 it is good to see a cold, wet year is still able to produce clean and complex Pinot Noir.

Elevation Change of the Southern Greenland Ice Sheet from 1978-88
Southern Greenland ice sheet elevation change estimates are derived from SEASAT and GEOSAT radar altimetry data from 1978 to 1988. Data are confined to 61-72 deg N, 30-50 deg W, above 1700 m elevation. The addition of GEOSAT Geodetic Mission (GM) data results in twice as many crossover points and 50% greater coverage than previous studies. Coverage above 2000 m elevation is improved to 90%, and about 75% of the area between 1700 m and 2000 m is now covered. Data are in ASCII text format, available via FTP, and consist of elevation change rate (dH/dt, cm/year) and corresponding error estimates in 50 km grid cells. View Metadata RecordData CitationThe following example shows how to cite the use of this data set in a publication. For more information, see our Use and Copyright Web page.

Skype gives a soldier the opportunity to be at his son's high school graduation
Graduation is one of the biggest moments parents dream about…watching their child receive their high school diploma.
Too often many soldiers miss this while they're deployed. However, modern technology is helping service men and women be there for their child's success.
When school officials realized one student's father would be unable to attend, they worked with Veteran Affairs Officer, Chuck Lantz to make sure Michael Krasowska didn't miss his son Kory's big day.
"He was going to miss his son's graduation, so our idea was to Skype the soldier so he could see his son graduate while he was deployed," says Chuck.
After the graduation, Kory's family and friends were emotional as they all took turns saying hello to Michael.
When his dad was deployed, Kory thought he would surely miss his graduation. Luckily that wasn't the case, and Kory tuned out everything else in the room when he finally got the chance to speak with his father.
"It was really great…it felt like he was here to see it which was a wonderful thing," says Kory.
Kory was happy to see him even if it was through a computer. He wasted no time telling his dad how much he loved him.
The Krasowska family and friends all send their well wishes to Michael who's currently stationed in Texas, and all want to remind him how much he's truly missed.

Second visit, will return again if possible. Great location, close to asilomar beach where you can watch the surfers. We also saw a whale this time. Owner/manager and staff very friendly and welcoming. Great closet this time and shower. Plenty of hot water but be conservative. I really like this cozy lodge-like atmosphere over larger hotels. Wifi, kitchenettes. Great visit.

Hi, Look @ my specs, I have a very good PC. It's usually Very fast and has very low delays whenever I do stuff with it... Lately it started having delays. I open windows, or programs, and there's a 3-4 seconds delay (which usually is 0.2 seconds delay lol) I open stuff like firefox and want to type and text appears seconds after... very frustrating. I did a FULL scan with Microsoft Security Essentials, and it found nothing. My last windows 7 re-install must be like 7 or 8 months old so don't think that's the problem (although it always helps to re-install windows 7) I'm thinking it could be my hard drives that need a defrag or the SSD that might be getting slow... but again, I suspect they're not the problem... The SSD is prob 2 years old tops, and the degrag seems needed, but nothing urgent... I'm lookin for a program that fixes everything at once (something that checks the Registry, viruses, adware, cleaning...) any tips?
oh and btw, my computer tends to be slow and delayed like this for like 15 mins after I logged in... it tends to get back to its normal speed after 15 mins... just weird...
For registry and general Windows cleaning, I suggest CCleaner. Don't defrag your SSD, it is not needed and many sources will tell you it does more harm than good. As far as anti-virus goes, that's really a crap shoot. There are a lot of good, free programs out there and everyone has their own preferences.
First, what's your start up program list like? Is there anything there that doesn't have to be started up when you hit the power button? It does sound like you are over loading the computer with programs causing the whole thing to grind to a halt. Second, are you sure that you have the specified RAM in there? Is it all showing up? Thirdly, do a hard drive test. HD Tune or something like that, will show you if the drives are still performing correctly Fourthly (?LOL?) When was the last time you formatted and reinstalled Windows? Could be that you just need to clean everything out and start a fresh. Fithly (Does that even exist as a word?!) Put your CPU back to stock, OC CPU can be finicky things if they start to go bad. A list to think about if you haven't already.
MSE can't be trusted, Use a proper antivirus, eg avast or AVG and scan with malwarebytes and TDSS killer
Plenty of reasons, you should start off with the most common ones (clean registry, clean startup, check hdd full, etc). Report if you still have problems.
malware may also be a cause, i recommend kasperky 2013 trial from their official website, it finds malware that malwarebytes and MSE do not find. i know this because i had the same issue a few weeks ago, massive slow downs. MSE said everything was ok, so i tried kaspersky trial, and boom malware found.
I had some slowdowns recently in my SSD OS and I simply ran the check and fix disk utility from windows. And the problem just went away!
If you open the task manager after turning the PC on, do you see an application gouging up resources? I would look into that first.
Maybe I have the same problem, but it started with the newer nvidia gpu drivers. Once I boot, I have to immediately restart then login or else it's horribly laggy.
For rootkit detection i've found it inadequate, however for general usage it's perfectly fine I've always defended MSE, first time i've seen others say something like this!! I've been using it fine for about 5 months... All im saying is other tools are available for a clean virus removal
Its because data thats stored on an SSD isn't fragmented, so defrag won't do anything anyways, other then reduce its life because (defragging writes data to the drives throughout the process) ---- Dont quote me on that though.
So you do have a sense of humor! It shortens the lifespan of the drive by using up the finite number of read and write cycles one can perform. That's the short of it. I wasn't going to go into details, he simply needs to know not to do it. Cheers to all repliers, now we play the waiting game and see what, if anything, helps him.
alright guys, I took off some items that were in the Windows Startup list (msconfig) and it looks like I'm back on track. Must have been a program I installed recently or something ... not sure yet...
Glad to see that you tried the idea. Keep an eye on it, see if you can install the programs one at a time, see which one bogs you down most.
Run a scan with Hitman Pro. It is free for 30 days. It might find something other scans have missed. I use it before MBAM.
MSE+Malwarebytes is perfectly fine if you are not an idiot. If you are an idiot I suggest you disconnect from the internet as nothing will save you. IF you do get hit by something nasty (which can only happen if you install it) then download and run Kapersky Rescue Disk 10.
probably there are a lot of start up services running. goto run (windows key + R) ->type msconfig-> startup tab -> uncheck all the unimportant ones that you do not recognise (etc adobe has a bucnch of crap there) then goto services tab, check hide all microsoft services, then uncheck all the services that you dont need.
yeah, I officially solved my problem. I don't know which "startup" item was causing the major slowdown. But whatever I did, it worked. thanks for all the input. Really appreciate it

To decipher the brain circuits that underlie pleasure, neuroscientists often have to assess liking and disliking in nonverbal creatures. They do it by monitoring facial expressions and head and arm movements, such as those depicted in the video here. Licking the lips, for instance, indicates a food tasted delicious to in infant, whereas turning the head from side to side indicates "yuk." In the video, the term "hedonic reactions" refers to pleasure. Read about new insights into the neurobiology of pleasure in "The Joyful Mind"—by Morten L.
