Top 10 Cute Kerry Hoors
In the week of the Munster Football final we are going to make a grand statement in this column: Kerryman jokes are unfair. There we said it. The implication with these jibes has always been that men from the Kingdom are a bit dim and that's not an accurate reflection of our neighbours at all.
In fact the Kerry IQ may show up as low on conventional scientific tests but these examinations rarely take into account the part of the Kerry brain that has specially evolved for 'cute-hoorism'.
|Healy-Rae: Dissh is how i rrr-roll
Like all foreign immigrants from outside Cork, Kerry guys and gals are most welcome in the Peoples Republic. While it is possible to like them, to have the craic with them and occasionally actually understand what they are saying there is, perhaps because of our tense sporting history, always a deep founded suspicion of the cute Kerry cute hoor and what his real intention is.
For example a Kerry man who invites you to be his child's Godfather might be doing so because he knows you're financially generous or because you are the principal of a good school in Cork that he wants to get his kid into. Or a Kerry woman who brings an elderly man his dinner may have got a tip off that the old timer is currently composing his will. And so on.
Below we outlined some of Kerry's higher profile top cute hoors and remind Corkonians heading to Killarney on Sunday to be vigilant at all times and regularly photograph the scoreboard in case of any funny businesses.
1. Michael Healy-Rae
There seems to be some surprise that Michael 'Stealy' Rae, a Kerry man, is suspected of cheating in a reality TV show contest. The Kerry TD appeared on 'Celebrities Go Wild' in 2007, a competition which requires the phone votes of viewers to project participants to victory. Over 3,000 votes for Healy-Rae came from an Oireachtas phone costing citizens over 2 grand.

It's for charity so why would he manipulate a 'reality' TV show vote? To raise the then councillor's limp popularity so he could eventually slot into his father's comfy Dáil seat, salubrious salary and perky pension of course. Michael has inherited his father's cute-hoor philosophy: why accept reality when you can create your own?
2. Tadgh Kenneally
The returned Aussie rules player admitted in his biography that his controversial and brutal high challenge on Cork's Nicholas Murphy in the 2009 All-Ireland final was premeditated. Kenneally should have been red carded in the first minute but remained on the field allowing Kerry to soilk Sam Maguire.

3. The Handshakers of Listowel
The last thing you'd expect a community to do is to rally around a rapist moments after he has been convicted yet in December 2009 in a Listowel courtroom 40-50 men approached a local bouncer, freshly sentenced to seven years in prison, to shake his hand. The mind boggles.
4. Martin Ferris
The convicted arms smuggler who imported guns to bring death and destruction to Ireland and Britain was elected to Dáil Éireann by the people of Kerry North. When the killers of Garda Jerry McCabe were released in 2010 guess which shameless and supposedly reformed terrorist rolled up to collect them?

5. Galvin Klein
Need some dental work done? Look no further than the wasp-swatter and fashionista Paul Galvin. Just get into a tussle with the Kerry footballer and he'll twist his fingers around the inside your mouth saving you a jarvey's trap load of cash. Just ask Cork full back Eoin Cadogan for some advice before you commit.
|The dentist gets to work on a client
6. Aidan O'Mahony
A playful slap in the face from Donnacha O'Connor in the All-Ireland semi-final in 2008 saw a cringing delayed dive from the Kerry Garda and footballer that any Olympic swimmer would have been proud of – cunningly fooling the referee who sent the Cork ace off thus tilting the balance of play to the Kingdom who went on to "win".
|Donaghy and O'Sullivan practice diving ahead of Sunday's clash in Killarney
7. Jackie Healy-Rae
The surname itself rings deafening bells of cute-hooring political dealings and conjures up images of the beautifully tarred boreens of South Kerry. While the Godfather may have slipped into the political background (having briefly toyed with the idea of bringing down the entire euro currency because of the political leverage he held over Fianna Fáil) his sons live on as, what are known in Kerry as 'astute political operators', or just 'chancers' to the rest of us.
|Healy-Rae used his chiseled cheek bones and jowls to charm voters like this woman who's potholes he has promised to fill
8. Dara Ó Sé
Careful scrutiny of the spines of players who have played against the Kerry midfielder will show a strange permanent indent about the size of a Kerryman's knee who, under kick-outs, always liked to be second to the ball.
His uncle Paidí, a staunch Fianna Fáil supporter, got into a spot of bother recently when his mysterious and lucrative appointment to Bord Iascaigh Mhara came to light. His experience as a publican and football coach will undoubtedly be vital to the struggling fishing industry.
Ó Se had a unique fielding technique as Alan O'Connor's vertibrae regularly found out
9. John O'Donoghue
Or to give him his newly updated political title "John O'Donoghue" this cute hoor Kerryman's loyalty to an even cuter hoor of a political party was always going to result in tears….and a suspiciously large lump of cash. €126,000 in expenses to be exact on top of a whole load of other whopping wages and pensions. The disgraced former Fianna Fáil Minister was racking up tabs for limos, hats and private jets faster than Cork's under-21's could score points against Kerry last March.
The Kerryman shows us what its all about
10. Kerry Katona
Up to her eyes in babies, drugs and debt this misfortunate woman is a typical of example of how the tag of 'Kerry' can lead one down murky unrighteous paths.
Kerry Katona prepares for her Mayor of Tralee election campaign. Still short a bomb making daddy though.

"There was a time when the world asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things."
I guess you just gotta find the right deals. I waited a while to get mine, and even then i found a way better deal! The guy owned a little gun store outside of edmonton and had 4 of them in! Plus he got them shipped in a couple days before the show so they were soaked in cosmoline which is maybe another reason the price was down
Heres another beauty worh looking at! A savage axis! Right under 300$ i would definatly buy one!
Ive heard good things about the axis
i have actually picked up several older Remington M700's for less than $350 and have even picked up a couple for less than $300.
if a person can choose wisely and knows firearms, there are some good bargains used if you don't mind getting out and looking and seeing what's available.
the Marlin X7 series of rifles can sometimes be bought new for under $350 in some places. these are well made and accurate rifles and are a good value for the price considering the features they have.

Since the 1990s, Asia-Pacific countries have changed their approaches to security cooperation and regional order. The end of the Cold War, the resurgence of China, the Asian economic crisis, and the events of September 11, 2001, have all contributed to important changes in the Asia-Pacific security architecture.
In The Minimum Means of Reprisal, Jeffrey Lewis examines China's nuclear and space capabilities and deployment strategies, as well as the Chinese government's stance in arms control negotiations. Lewis finds that Chinese officials hold a "restrained view" about the role of nuclear weapons in national security and maintain a limited nuclear capacity sufficient to deter attack but not large enough for control of these weapons to be compromised.The future of cooperative security arrangements in space will depend largely on the U.S.-Chinese relationship, and Lewis warns that changes in U.S.
Motivated, able, and well-trained military personnel are essential to the success of any military, and personnel policies are crucial to getting and keeping qualified servicemen and women. The transformation of personnel policies is an important element of the broader transformation occurring in Western militaries. Across Europe and North America, nations are embracing plans to change military personnel policies to build future capabilities consistent with new strategic environments and with the demographic and societal realities of the future.
Does the spread of democracy really contribute to international peace? Successive U. S. administrations have justified various policies intended to promote democracy not only by arguing that democracy is intrinsically good but by pointing to a wide range of research concluding that democracies rarely, if ever, go to war with one another.
To be involved in politics without aspiring to govern, without seeking to be governed by the best leaders, without desiring to abolish all forms of government: such is the condition common to practitioners of nongovernmental politics. Whether these activists concern themselves with providing humanitarian aid, monitoring human rights violations, protecting the environment, educating consumers, or improving the safety of workers, the legitimacy and efficacy of their initiatives demand that they forsake conventional political ambitions.
The United States continues to proclaim its support for democracy and its opposition to tyranny, but American presidents often have supported dictators who have allied themselves with the United States. This book illustrates the chronic dilemmas inherent in US dealings with dictators under conditions of uncertainty and moral ambiguity.
In recent years, analysts of world affairs have suggested that cultural interests -- ethnicity, religion, and ideology -- play a primary role in patterns of conflict and alliances, and that in the future the "clash of civilizations" will dominate international relations.
Over the past three decades the developing world has seen increasing devolution of political and economic power to local governments. Decentralization is considered an important element of participatory democracy and, along with privatization and deregulation, represents a substantial reduction in the authority of national governments over economic policy.
As a global society, we need to take action not only to prevent the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change but also to adapt to the unavoidable effects of climate change already imposed on the world. Fairness in Adaptation to Climate Change looks at the challenges of ensuring that policy responses to climate change do not place undue and unfair burdens on already vulnerable populations.
Privacy protection, according to Colin Bennett and Charles Raab, involves politics and public policy as much as it does law and technology. Moreover, the protection of our personal information in a globalized, borderless world means that privacy-related policies are inextricably interdependent.

Ocean car carrier executives have been working overtime to reschedule sailings across their global networks after the catastrophic earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan ruptured the nation's automotive plants and interrupted exports to Europe and North America.
Almost two months later, the global automotive supply chain is slowly returning to normal as Japan's Big Three manufacturers — Toyota, Honda and Nissan — resume production at their domestic assembly plants and at foreign factories forced to suspend operations because of a shortage of parts.
Related: Beating the Odds.
But although the dislocation to auto shipping likely will persist into June as carriers reschedule sailing schedules, the crisis will have minimal long-term financial impact on shipping lines.
The same can't be said for Japan's automakers. J.P. Morgan expects the combined overseas production of Japan's Big Three to shrink 30 percent in the second and third quarters compared to the same periods of 2010.
The Japan disaster could cut car production by 5 million units this year over 2010, economic research group IHS Automotive says, with production in the traditionally slow fourth quarter rising to make up for the shortfall.
For car carriers, the Japanese crisis represents a temporary operational challenge that will ebb quickly as they focus on more pressing market developments, notably China's sudden emergence in the global auto shipping market.
And, to put the impact further into context, the economic impact of the earthquake on car carriers pales in comparison to the slump in global car sales in 2009 that forced companies to cancel 35 percent of sailings and lay up a record 15 percent of the world fleet.
Car carriers can withstand financial hits and operational hazards because the largest operators fall under the umbrella of Japan's Big Three shipowners — NYK Line, "K" Line and MOL — or are savvy specialized operators such as the Scandinavian Hoegh Autoliners and Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics.
Smaller companies are consolidating to achieve the economies of scale to allow them to compete against larger rivals. The latest newcomer is Norwegian Car Carriers, formed last year by the merger of Dyvi Shipping and Eidsiva Rederi, which charters several of its 15 ships to the major operators, including "K" Line and Hoegh. The Oslo-listed company raised more than $21 million from a share issue in February and placed a $70 million order in March for a vessel capable of carrying 6,500 cars for delivery in 2012. The contract included an option, to be declared by June, for an identical ship at the same price.
Carriers also are investing in bigger and more cost-effective ships to keep pace with growing demand for global car transport. Norway's Wilh. Wilhelmsen in March launched the world's largest roll-on, roll-off vessel — an 875-foot-long behemoth with a cargo capacity of 4.8 million cubic feet over six fixed and three hoistable decks. The ship, with its optimized hull and several energy-saving features, including a streamlined rudder design, uses 15 to 20 percent less fuel per transported unit than earlier vessels.
Last year's recovery in the global car market, aided by government-supported cash-for-clunkers programs, continued into 2011, though shipments from Japan and South Korea to the mature U.S. and European markets appear to have peaked and remain below the pre-financial crisis levels of late 2008.
Yet car carriers reportedly have turned away business in recent months as they restructure their sailing schedules to cope with surging demand in China for European-built automobiles.
European seaborne car exports to China are expected to reach approximately 500,000 units this year, compared with a paltry 20,000 units in 2005. This has convulsed the two-way trade, with eastbound traffic to Asia exceeding westbound shipments to Europe for the first time.
Although good news for car carriers that are charging higher freight rates out of Europe, the imbalance in two-way trade means vessel arrivals from Japan and South Korea to take cars back to Asia are falling behind demand.
China's emergence as a major customer for European-built cars was highlighted last year by the decision of Germany's Daimler to stop exporting cars on Maersk Line container ships and use car carriers operated by "K" Line and NYK because shipments had reached the critical mass where dedicated car carriers are cheaper than container transport.
Daimler expects sales of its Mercedes-Benz cars in China to increase more than 20 percent this year over 2010 after jumping 86 percent in the first quarter to 43,990 units.
South Korean carrier Eukor launched a direct service from Europe to China last year, deploying its latest 8,000-car capacity ships. Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, the Norwegian-Swedish joint venture, also increased frequencies on its China Express Service between Japan, South Korea and China.
The surge in Chinese imports caught automakers and car carriers off guard, because many of the cars shipped from Europe are made in China, too. They didn't figure status-conscious Chinese consumers would prefer European-made cars to identical domestic models despite a higher price tag that reflects transportation costs and a 25 percent customs duty.
China overtook the United States as the world's biggest car market in 2009, but until recently, most analysts expected Chinese and foreign-owned plants in the country to meet the demand. Now, Chinese demand for imported cars, particularly from Germany, is set to soar with the middle class likely to double to 400 million people by 2014, according to French bank Societe Generale.
China will account for about 15 percent of German exports, including cars, by 2010, compared with 5.6 percent now. China overtook the United States as Germany's biggest overseas market in December, importing goods worth $7.7 billion, beating the $7.6 billion in shipments across the Atlantic.
European manufacturers are supplying the Chinese market with a mix of locally built and imported models. Audi sold 220,000 cars in China, its biggest market, in 2010 of which three models were built in the country and five were imports. Its decision to launch its latest model, the Q3, at April's Shanghai Auto Show in April, rather than in New York or Frankfurt, highlighted the importance of the Chinese market.
China's craving for foreign-built models is good news for car carriers, but there are concerns over the durability of the import boom as European and U.S. automakers ramp up capacity at their Chinese plants and cost-conscious Chinese consumers settle for domestic-built models.
Auto and light truck sales in China grew only 6.5 percent in March. That looks good compared with the 5 percent drop in sales of passenger cars in the 27-nation European Union in the same month. But it was a major setback in a market whose sales surged 32 percent in 2010 and 46 percent in 2009.
The slide in Chinese car sales was attributed to higher oil prices, rising interest rates, the expiration of tax breaks for fuel-efficient models and more expensive food and clothing that has eroded consumers' discretionary income.
At the end of last year, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers was eyeing growth of 10 to 15 percent in 2011, but now says the market will do well to grow 10 percent.
Still, 10 percent growth in the world's largest automotive market means good business for manufacturers and shipping lines that transport their cars.
Also good news for car carriers is China's emergence as a major exporter of cars. SAIC Motor, the Shanghai-based state-owned company, aims to sell 800,000 cars a year outside China by 2015. Great Wall, the first Chinese car manufacturer to have met EU standards, said exports likely will account for 30 percent of its sales by the same year. And Geely, which acquired Sweden-based Volvo from Ford for $1.8 billion in 2010, launched a light sedan and a hatchback in Australia earlier in the year.
Foreign companies with plants in China also are eyeing exports. France's PSA Peugeot Citroen is considering low-cost models at a joint venture plant in Shenzhen for the domestic and overseas markets. "Our main focus is China, but nothing prevents us from exporting," CEO Phillipe Varin said.
Automakers are constantly moving into new markets, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, creating opportunities, and challenges, to shipping lines. But exports don't always translate into business for vehicle carriers. Hyundai Motor's recent launch of its midsize Mighty truck in Brazil won't boost demand for ro-ro car carriers because the vehicles will be shipped in containers from South Korea as knockdown kits and assembled in Brazil.
Although the demand side is clouded by uncertainty over global car sales, car carriers have a much clearer view of the supply side — scrapping aside — over the next three years.
The car carrier fleet totaled 688 ships of 10.5 million deadweight tons on April 1, according to London ship broker Clarkson. There are 106 vessels of 11.98 million dwt. on order, equivalent to 16.9 percent of current capacity. By contrast, the container ship orderbook is equivalent to 28.8 percent of the existing fleet.
The market faces a shortage of capacity by 2013 with demand rising and the fleet shrinking as owners scrap older tonnage, according to Norwegian Car Carriers. That means rates are set to increase through 2012.
And even as they race to keep pace with Chinese imports and prepare for a Chinese export drive, car carriers can look forward to bumper business in India, the world's second-fastest growing market after China, which is also eyeing overseas sales.

About Sandy Martin
We love our cottage and we think you will too!
We bought it 7 years ago and have enjoyed every moment of it.
We live in Toronto and love the fact that it is only 1:45 min away (when no traffic!)
Our 3 kids love coming up and reading all day or being active with the beach volleyball, paddle tennis and swimming. It is a good size cottage with fantastic views.
Bar-b-q-ing on the deck overlooking the water and having a cocktail are some of our favourite things to do. It is a quiet bay that has access to large Gloucester Pool, plus we are one lock away from Georgian Bay. We have a canoe and kayak that you are welcome too use.
While we are pretty easy going, we will expect that you will treat it as we treat it, with lots of love.
Sandy Martin purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Sandy Martin chose Port Severn
Our family has had a cottage in this area for 60 years. So i grew up cottaging in this area and love how quiet it is yet the number of things there are to do.
If you are thinking about renting it in the winter, you might love it even more. There is great cross country skiing (and tobogganing) out the back and front door plus downhill skiing 25 minutes away at either Mt St. Louis or 10 minutes farther to Horseshoe valley.
What makes this cottage unique
There are great trees on our property so you never get wiped out by the sun (just move your acitivity to anpother area based on what is getting shade).While we spend the days outside in the sun, we also love watching DVD's with the kids at night.
As well, there are some great restaurants 10-15 minutes away if you want to splash out.

His work ranges from unique pieces to limited editions and series production, has no 'expiry date' and can be found both in public and private collections all over the world. Gilad asks endless questions in a three-dimensional format and manufactures answers which create a field of fertile doubt.
About the ManufacturerDesignfenzider's hybrid objects combine material wit with aesthetic play; they sit on the fat, delicious line between the abstract and the functional.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
He's one of those guys with a bland smile and a voice so nice and sweet that right away you know he's twisted. He has a knack for convincing women to marry him, but children see him with clearer eyes, and know there's something wrong. There sure is. Battling inside of him are two conflicting obsessions: the desire to be the perfect father of a model family, and a towering rage that turns him into a killer.
"The Stepfather" tells his story in a blood-soaked thriller that is uneven but haunting. While I was watching the film, I was distracted by elements of the Idiot Plot Syndrome - moments when only an idiot would have made such obvious mistakes. Now, remembering the film several weeks after first seeing it, what I recall most clearly is the central performance by Terry O'Quinn.
He is a journeyman actor from TV and many movies, usually in supporting roles, and you may or may not recognize him. What's clear at once is that he is a strong actor, and given this leading role he brings all kinds of creepy dimensions to it. He has the thankless assignment of showing us a completely hateful, repellent character - and he approaches the task as an exercise in cloying middle-class good manners.
The stepfather seems to be such a nice man. So understanding. So accommodating. He always marries into families with children - providing a strong shoulder for a widow to lean on. He's handy around the house. He likes to spend time in his basement workshop, where sometimes the pressure builds up so intensely that he has to smash things.
He's obsessed with a vision of the perfect family. He wants each of his families to be perfect. When they disappoint him, as every family eventually will, he starts shopping around for his next family and his next identity. When he has that lined up, he murders this family.
"The Stepfather" is very effective in presenting that character.
Unfortunately, it places him inside a plot that has too many distracting loose ends and oversights, avoidable errors and Idiot Plot mistakes. Why did the movie have to be a thriller at all? Why not simply a character study? There were box-office considerations, I suppose, and yet the thriller aspects of the film are the least satisfying. It's distracting to sit in an audience and know that a movie character is doing something that makes no sense - and is doing it only so that the plot can move on to its next chapter.
Like many movies that study psychopathic killers ("Badlands," "In Cold Blood" (1968), even "Black Widow"), this film seems to have no larger purpose than simply to show us the killer. Because the murderer is mentally ill, because he is not killing out of any motive that we can understand, the film is simply an exercise in despair; a portrait of a tragic man.
Violence itself seems to sell at the box office, even when it's divorced from any context. Maybe that's what the filmmakers were thinking. What often happens, though, is that in an otherwise flawed film there are a couple of things that are wonderful. "The Stepfather" has one wonderful element: Terry O'Quinn's performance.

"The Bradley
Bradley Years represent the definitive collection
of steelband music arrangements and performances
for a large steel orchestra. This collection
showcases seven classic arrangements from the
master arranger Clive Bradley. Bradley
is considered to be the best steelband music
arranger ever by many, including his peers.
In addition, the arrangements are performed
by one of the finest steelbands in the world,
New York's Pantonic Steel Orchestra. Clive Bradley
had a very special relationship with Pantonic.
This orchestra clinched the title of panorama
champions five times in seven years - performing
Bradley's musical works. The performances
were captured by Basement Recordings days before,
and in one instance, mere moments before they
took the stage for the prestigious annual steelband
music panorama competition.
The recordings
capture, reproduce and present an unrivalled
clarity with sonic realism, of a large steel
orchestra fielding between one hundred and one
hundred twenty musicians - unlike any other
steelband music recordings in its class.
This body
of musical work is a sterling addition for all
fans, educators, players, historians and fine
music collectors.

becoming one of the better quality pan

last week Saturday at the St Mary's College Big

six bands.
Opening the proceedings was
the SJC/CIC Combined band (Symphony of Saints)
which placed third in the Schools Panorama
competition earlier this year. The students'
first offering of "Sleigh Ride" brought on the
Christmas feeling and they followed up with
"Black Cake and Sorrel", arranged by the CIC
music teacher, Michelle Marfan-Urquhart who also
arranged the next number, Jahaji Bhai by Brother
Marvin. After playing a medley of Christmas
songs, the band ended with their Panorama song,
Trini, arranged by former SJC student and All

in musicology in Florida.

It has its own entrance as well.
Yes, you need a number of things--registering with DCRA, getting an exemption for small landlords, getting a bus. license, registering with the DC inc. tax office. There are companies that will do this for you for about $750 to give you some idea of the time involved. You may even need an inspection of the unit--I can't remember if that is waived for 1 unit rentals.
Good luck, but most important, choose your tenant carefully because you can pay thousands of $ to get a bad tenant out (credit check, prior LL contact, suffic. income, etc.). Also, be SURE you have a good DC lease form (national universal forms don't do it).
Lynn Johnson, Esq.
My colleague's answer is spot-on. Let me add that being a landlord in DC is not for the feint of heart. The law does not favor you. It is small tenancy landlords that pay me a lot of money each year, and I appreciate the business. Include that in your rental computation, but don't collect impermissible security deposits or use lease clauses that have been found illegal. Also, a basement without adequate street-level access suitable for fire escape may have serious problems getting a license.
Good luck!
Sternberg and Johnson said it all.
