The Goji Berry, pronounced "go-gee", is a recent Super Fruit discovery in the health food industry. These delicate red berries, traditionally grown in the Himalayan valleys of China have been featured on national television shows and used by various celebrities. Numerous goji berry products have appeared on the market, promising youth and good health. A Google search for "goji berry" yields 456,000 results, many of them for various products containing goji berries or goji berry juice. So are goji berries a miracle superfood, just another product of the hype machine or something in between?
Goji berries also called wolfberries, have been grown in the Himalayan valley for hundreds of years. Traditional Chinese folk medicine uses them to cure a variety of ailments. Goji berries have also long been used in various Asian cuisine as an ingredient. Goji berry bushes grow to be one to three meters high. Because the berries are very delicate when on the plant, they cannot be picked by hand. Instead they are gently shaken from the vine. Frequently they are set out in the sun to dry, whereupon they become slightly chewy. Besides eating the berries, you can also drink the goji berry juice. It is especially popular in the regions where the berries are grown, and can be combined with tea to make a tonic.
Goji Berry Juice
October 26th, 2009Noni Fruit Juice
October 26th, 2009Hundreds of years ago, ocean voyaging-going Polynesians journeyed across the Pacific in large outrigger canoes to settle what is now known as Tahiti. Space in their canoes was limited; they brought only what they needed to survive. Noni was a prized cargo in these canoes because of its healthful properties and was considered queen of the 'canoe plants' used to establish new population centers.
The story of the Noni plant is also told among the people of the tropics worldwide. In Southeast Asia it is known as "nhau". The plant is recognized among all peoples of the South Pacific. It is called "nonu" in Samoa and Tonga, "nono" in Raratonga and Tahiti, and "noni" in the Marquesas Islands and Hawaii.
The fruit of the Noni plant was an important source of food for the early Polynesians, who consumed it in times of famine. Aborigines in Australia were fond of the fruit, and people in Burma cooked unripe fruits in curries and ate the ripened fruit raw with salt. The seeds, leaves, bark, and roots were also eaten by people versed in the healing properties of this odd plant.
Acai Berry Juice
October 26th, 2009Acai Berry Juice – A New Natural Health Super Fruit The Acai Fruit is found in the rain forests of Brazil and has been a popular fruit with the local people for many generations. It is pronounced "ah-sigh-ee", the acai fruit has recently become the subject of an American health craze with the introduction of various acai drinks, smoothies and sorbets. North Shore Nutraceurticals is one of the most popular and reputable acai juice manufacturers. Acai was introduced to Hawaii by surfers from Hawaii who competed in a surfing competition in Brazil They enjoyed the Acai Berry so much that they brought it back with them to the North Shore of Oahu and started selling it as "Acai Bowls". Regardless of the Acai product you are interested in, it is important to educate yourself on the acai nutritional facts and associated Acai
Acai Benefits and Nutrition Facts
The Acai Berry Fruit has quickly become a popular ingredient in both health drinks and supplements as many believe it to contain antioxidants able to provide great improvements in your well being. Acai Berries are known to have twice the amount of antioxidants as blueberries and 10 times that of grapes. And as an added bonus, if you value the reported nutritional benefits of wine you'll be pleased to
hear the reported levels of anthocyanins are 10-30 times greater in the Acai Fruit than what is found in red wine. Positive nutrition reviews about the Acai Berry have reached the ranks of the pomegranate, goji berry, and others to make it to "Superfood" status (a general term used for foods deemed to provide significant nutrition or of an overall benefit to one's health). The Acai Fruit has caught the attention of many news headlines and become the topic for numerous articles, and perhaps its biggest catalyst to fame has been its appearance on the national TV shows.
The berries have become the highlighted ingredient in several fruit juices boasting a long list of health benefits, with acai berry juice drinks topping the list. But what are the benefits of acai? The amazing benefits include increased energy, anti-aging, improved sleep and strong heart health, just to name a few. Claims of acai benefits in the last few years have convinced many consumers of its worth, as evidenced in the increasing number of acai products on the market. Today you can find a variety of acai berry products, ranging from drinks with a percentage of acai fruit juice, to freeze dried acai pulp and powder, to supposed weight loss supplements, to alcoholic drinks with an added acai flavor. It is important to note, however, that not all acai products are created by reputable companies as demonstrated in the recent Acai Berry diet pill/weight loss scam.
Super Juice Testimonials
May 25th, 2010"My Wife and I started drinking North Shore Nutraceuticals' double strength Acai berry juice about seven months ago and we both love the results! Our immune systems have been strengthened enough that we hardly ever get sick any more. We tried other Acai products but really like the noticeable impact the double strength Acai juice gives us. It will continue to be a part of our daily health and wellness regimen!"

Cathy Dunbar, Rutherford, New Jersey
"I'll be honest with you, I don't think your Acai Juice tastes very good. But when I read the ingredient list and realized that it is 100% pure Acai Juice with no added juices or sugars as sweeteners, I changed my opinion. I realized I am getting the best value for my money by buying North Shore's juice. I just add my own grape juice to your pure Acai and it tastes great. Thanks for giving me what I ordered, 100% Acai Juice."
Harvey Burns, Portland, Oregon

Jason Wu Brings His Fall '13 Collection to San Francisco's City Hall
After showing his spectacular Fall 2013 collection during New York Fashion Week, Jason Wu brought his glamorous (and first-lady-approved) designs to San Francisco for an SF Opera and Neiman Marcus-sponsored event titled The Art of Fashion: Jason Wu. City Hall's North Light Court served as the elegant, dramatic backdrop, and the evening marked Wu's first-ever time showing a collection in the Bay Area — and we can safely say it was a huge success. The collection was a feast for the eyes. The floor-length gowns, skinny tailored trousers, and opulent silhouettes trimmed in feathers and fur garnered gasps, excitement, and applause from the audience, while the booming Amy Winehouse soundtrack kept the crowd feeling upbeat.
In addition to being a beautiful showcase, the event also served to support a great cause: proceeds from the evening benefited San Francisco Opera Guild's music instruction programs, which help bring arts education to more than 50,000 students in over 200 schools throughout Northern California. Fashion and philanthropy? You can't really beat that. See all the best photos from the event — along with some up close and personal snaps from our Instagram feed — when you click through now.
This Week's Best Dressed
Jason Wu was honored at the fifth annual Asia Society gala in New York on Monday night, where, despite the early-Spring snow that covered the city, there was no shortage of the designer's well-heeled supporters in attendance.

Kebede wore a strong-shouldered, bright crimson dress from Fall 2013; Rhoda a white, ostrich-feathered number also from Fall 2013; while Pei wore a black leather bustier and silk dress from Spring 2012.
See all those, plus more of the week's chicest looks — including Alexa Chung and Tali Lennox at the Big British Invite in New York, Tilda Swinton at the opening of David Bowie Is in London, and much more — here in our weekly best-dressed slideshow.

Get All the Backstage Hair and Makeup Details at Jason Wu
Welcome to the wonderful world of Jason Wu at Fall 2013 New York Fashion Week, where the women are strong and cool, and the makeup is bold and daring. One thing Jason doesn't lack? Vision. He worked with Lancôme's Diane Kendal on that perfect indigo shade, a mix of liners, and a shadow — which included a key shade from his upcoming collaboration with Lancôme — for the exaggerated winged look. Odile Gilbert for Kérastase created an elegant, tucked-and-folded bun for a tidy, woven coif, which is best described as a bob-meets-chignon.
Go backstage with us, just before Jason showed off his designs to the world.
Jason Wu Fall 2013 Runway
Sexy, sophisticated, and a little subversive: Jason Wu's Fall 2013 collection delivered on the designer's potential as a great American designer. Fans from Michelle Obama to Diane Kruger will have plenty of pieces to love in this mostly black and white collection, filled with sharp coats and crisp white collared dresses with plenty of lace and chiffon for nighttime. Will Wu's next wow moment come on the Oscar's red carpet? We wouldn't be at all surprised.

Product description:
These collectable HDXs were at one time the hottest thing around for
freestyle frisbee in the early 1980's. This was the revolution of a
more durable plastic
that would hold up to the abuse of kicking and tipping. It was the
first disc also to experiment with new attractive colors. Still today
the HDX is a popular for recreational throw and catch and freestyle
play. These HDX discs on this page are part of a collection that is for
sale and supply is limited to this set of two discs in this color
pictured here. The set includes one 80 mold HDX and one 61 mold (the
Super Pro mold)
disc. The 61 mold is also unique in that there is no center part of the
traditional HDX design. Freestylers preferred an open center with no
hot stamp so this was an idea disc for jamming. These are some of the
last available 80 molds produced for players and not available at
regular retail stores. These discs are in excellent condition. No
delay marks and never thrown.

Jan 19, 200602:35 PMThe Life
Jan 19, 2006 - 02:35 PM
Tahquitz Canyon was closed for nearly 30 years. Since it has now been reopened to visitors (entrance at 500 West Mesquite Avenue), this might be a good time to reexamine the ancient Cahuilla Indian legend:According to stories that have been told and retold for generations, a shaman named Tahquitz ("TAH-kwish") once developed supernatural capabilities and practiced them with good intent. However, he was eventually corrupted by his own power, until he became downright dangerous. He was subsequently banished to this canyon, where he remains to this day. In fact, some members of the local Agua Caliente tribe still refuse to enter the canyon, because they believe that Tahquitz devours the souls of the unwary. It is said that he can suddenly manifest himself as an earthquake or flood or flash of light in the sky, or even take the form of an old man in downtown Palm Springs.
The tribe built a visitor center with educational/cultural exhibits and reopened the canyon after a three-year cleanup. Fun fact: their guided hikes pass near the 60-foot waterfall featured in Frank Capra's 1937 film Lost Horizon.

CLP (Chilean Peso)
Definition of 'CLP (Chilean Peso)'The currency abbreviation for the Chilean peso (CLP), the currency of Chile. The peso is often presented with the symbol $ and is made up of 100 centavos, even though there are no circulating centavo coins. Chilean peso banknotes are issued by the Banco Central de Chile. |
Investopedia explains 'CLP (Chilean Peso)'The "old" peso was used as currency in Chile between 1917 to 1959, when the escudo (CLE) came into use. The current (or new) Chilean peso was re-established on September 29, 1975, replacing the escudo at an exchange of 1:1000.The Chilean people also refer to their currency by "luka" when refering to the 1,000 peso note, "quina" for the 500 peso coin,and "gamba" for the 100 peso coin. |

Hawaiian swordfish, Jamaican curry prawns and jambalaya are probably not the first dishes you'd think a Mexican restaurant would serve. But the Pacific Grove mainstay isn't afraid of going outside of the below-the-border culinary box. Don't fret; the menu is also stocked with all the traditional Mexican faves—with Peppers' unique twist—like the Santa Fe cheese enchilada platter, Mission District burrito platter, and fall-off-your-fork-tender chili verde fajitas. If you dig spicy, you'll want to order some housemade Melinda's habanero sauce. The right margarita is there to cool off the taste buds, and there are eight original concoctions to choose from, including the dangerously delicious ultimate with Patron Reposado, Citronage orange liqueur, La Belle orange cognac, lemon and lime juice.

Cover art and blurb for Naomi Novik's CRUCIBLE OF GOLD
Here's the new cover art for Naomi Novik's latest Temeraire installment, Crucible of Gold. For more info about this title: Canada, USA, Europe.
Here's the blurb:
Naomi Novik's beloved series returns, with Capt. Will Laurence and his fighting dragon Temeraire once again taking to the air against the broadsides of Napoleon's forces and the friendly—and sometimes not-so-friendly—fire of British soldiers and politicians who continue to suspect them of divided loyalties, if not outright treason.
For Laurence and Temeraire, put out to pasture in Australia, it seems their part in the war has come to an end just when they are needed most. Newly allied with the powerful African empire of the Tswana, the French have occupied Spain and brought revolution and bloodshed to Brazil, threatening Britain's last desperate hope to defeat Napoleon.
So the British government dispatches Arthur Hammond from China to enlist Laurence and Temeraire to negotiate a peace with the angry Tswana, who have besieged the Portuguese royal family in Rio—and as bait, Hammond bears an offer to reinstate Laurence to his former rank and seniority as a captain in the Aerial Corps. Temeraire is delighted by this sudden reversal of fortune, but Laurence is by no means sanguine, knowing from experience that personal honor and duty to one's country do not always run on parallel tracks.
Laurence and Temeraire—joined by the egotistical fire-breather Iskierka and the still-growing Kulingile, who has already surpassed Temeraire in size—embark for Brazil, only to meet with a string of unmitigated disasters that leave the dragons and their human friends forced to make an unexpected landing in the hostile territory of the Inca empire, where they face new unanticipated dangers.
Now with the success of the mission balanced on a razor's edge, and failure looking more likely by the minute, the unexpected arrival of an old enemy will tip the scales toward ruin. Yet even in the midst of disaster, opportunity may lurk—for one bold enough to grasp it.
One can only hope that it will be more like the first few volumes of the series, as the last two were a bit lackluster. . .
5 commentaires:
While I agree that the last book was not up to the standards of the previous volumes, I would have to disagree about Victory of Eagles.
I stopped after Victory of Eagles. I thought it was dragging pretty mightily at that point, and the reviews of the last book were pretty dismal. If I hear good things about this upcoming novel, I might immerse myself back into this series. It started off so well too. I had high hopes for Ms. Novik there at first.
- tuesdayexpress said...
I flipped through the first chapters of the last book at the book store, and was extremely unimpressed. It read like an early draft. Totally lacked either polish or flow, and the dialog struck me as something closer to overwrought fanfic based on the series than a book in its own right.
Victory of Eagles was a disappointment, but that skim left me with very little faith in Novik's ability to adequately finish off the series. - 9:37 AM
I think she was pregnant during the writing of the last book. I'm hoping that had something to do with the drop in quality and that she'll hopefully be back on her game in the next one. At least the plot description of this one seems to have more to do with the over all story line of the other books than Tongues of Serpents did.
Less world-building, more plot please.

I saw this the other day... it's a fungi that infects ants and infects others by controlling the ant to go upwards. It even spurts tentacles and disgusting-looking deformities veeeeery much like Halo's Flood. It also adapts quickly to other insect species and mutates them as well. Now if this got out of control and mutated to a form able to overtake a human?
There's also a video game coming out called the Last of Us that explores the possibility of this infecting humans. Looks interesting.

Nelson school is tackling its problems, says report
7:00pm Wednesday 20th March 2013 in News By Chris Adams
A PRIMARY school, told that it required improvement after an inspection last year, has 'made a reasonable start' in tackling its problems.
Inspectors from Ofsted, the education regulator, described Nelson Castercliff Community Primary School as 'below average' in several areas when they visited in November 2012.
But an interim report said changes made by teachers and senior leaders at the Marsden Hall Road North school were already proving successful.
The initial report said many of the school's 289 pupils had difficulties with language and communication skills.
It called for an improvement in the consistency of teaching and more effective use of teaching assistants to support pupils' learning.
In a letter to headteacher Ian Chester, inspector Allan Tor said: "The staff have implemented the planned improvements to the teaching of phonics and early reading. The improvements are already proving to be successful and pupils' reading has started to improve quickly.
"Teachers in years five and six have, in their English lessons, put a greater focus on teaching grammar and punctuation. Members of the governing body are effective in enabling and overseeing improvements in the school.
"They have allocated resources to the improvement in pupils' reading which has included a significant cost in teachers' time and professional development.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Critical Essay #4
In the following essay. Fraustino explores how two of the characters in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde overcome both social and language convention to discover the secret of Dr. Jekyll-Mr Hyde.
Since Robert Louis Stevenson first published Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde almost a century ago, critics have generally regarded the work as moral allegory, a dramatization of the conflicts between Jekyll and Hyde, good and evil, split parts of a dual personality. Recent scholarship, however, disputes this reading approach, focusing on the contradictions within Jekyll's own personality, which eliminate him as a symbol of pure respectability, and on the importance of secondary characters. While Edwin Eigner [in Robert Louis Stevenson and the Romantic Tradition] notes that Utterson and En-field are the first doppelgängers encountered in the novel, Masao Miyashi states that Jekyll is not really committed to goodness but to mere respectability. Miyashi further suggests that the secondary...

Creating a Sustainable Business among South Africa's Poor 'One Bite at a Time'
Published: July 12, 2006 in Knowledge@WhartonWhen she worked on Wall Street launching IPOs, Alicia Polak helped generate new wealth. Now she is working to build wealth in the dirt-poor black township of Khayelitsha, 30 minutes down a dusty road from Cape Town, South Africa.
Two years ago, Polak founded The Khayelitsha Cookie Co., which now employs 11 women from the sprawling shantytown to bake high-end cookies and brownies that are distributed to top hotels, restaurants and coffeehouses throughout South Africa. The cookies come packed in plastic with a cartoon on the front showing a big, African 'mama' in traditional dress and the company slogan: "Creating opportunity one bite at a time."
For Polak, the entrepreneurial venture is about making money, but also much more. "My driving force in this company is that I want them out of those shacks," says Polak of the hundreds of thousands of people living in poverty in South African townships. "I want to help change their lives using this company as the vehicle."
Polak's firm has been receiving consulting help from Wharton professors since it started, but it is now formally part of Wharton's new Societal Wealth Generation program. The program, which was established earlier this year, explores ways to apply entrepreneurial business models to social problems such as healthcare, education and unemployment. In addition to Khayelitsha Cookies, initiatives include a healthcare program in Botswana, an animal feed project in Zambia and a potential peanut-processing business in Southern Africa.
Ian MacMillan, director of Wharton's Sol C. Snider Entrepreneurial Research Center, says the goal of the program is to move philanthropy away from dependence on charitable donations to projects that can sustain themselves financially over the long term. "What you set in motion is a virtuous cycle," he explains. "The more money you make, the more people are helped. The more people who are helped, the more money the entrepreneur makes." He also points out that entrepreneurs can be successful in developing economies on very little profit. "What looks to be not much profit in the eyes of a U.S. entrepreneur is a lot of money in those countries. They're much happier with a smaller profit."
The program will also try to find ways to use charitable donations as the seed money for projects that will eventually be able to finance themselves over time, allowing donors to move on to fund other worthy new ventures.
While social entrepreneurship has been gaining interest in philanthropic circles in recent years, MacMillan envisions deeper changes through societal wealth generation in which commercial solutions are applied to broad-based problems. He says there are already models and micro-finance available for small individual projects. "Alicia Polak's idea was created in Africa and at the moment is quite small, but we could grow the idea and if it works it can be replicated in many other places," says MacMillan. "I don't think we should be involved in something that at a minimum can't benefit hundreds, if not thousands."
Indeed, Polak is now working on ways to scale up the company, possibly exporting the cookies to developed countries in fanciful decorative tins manufactured by a South African artist. She is also thinking of bringing the cookie concept to disadvantaged parts of the United States, such as New Orleans, Mississippi or Camden, N.J. "If we can do this in South Africa then it certainly can be done here. The product could just be localized wherever you decide to build the next facility, taking in some local flair and flavor."
A New Home in a Poor Township
For now, Polak's virtuous cycle lies in Khayelitsha, which means 'new home' in the local Xhosa language. She points to a photo of the crowded jumble of shacks on laundry day. Tattered bed sheets flutter through the township, which is home to between 500,000 and 1 million. As an unofficial settlement, there are no public latrines in Khayelitsha.
"She has managed to do something in an area of Southern Africa that most people would have thought would not be possible," says James Thompson, associate director of Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs and a native of South Africa who met Polak through the business school at the University of Cape Town. "Khayelitsha is not known as a hub for economic activity. It has a fairly checkered history as one of Southern Africa's poorer and more violent townships."
Khayelitsha Cookies was founded in a community center with two ovens in 2004. The center had once been home to a training program endowed by Snowflake, a large South African baking company. The program flopped for many reasons, says Polak. First, Snowflake provided recipes written in English, but hardly any of the women in the township knew English, and many could hardly read. When Polak looked closer at the recipes, she noticed they called for sugar and butter. "That was a joke. There is no butter in this township. That would be such a luxury item."
Polak's cookies do have butter in them, but she has a car and suppliers who are able to bring butter to the company. "Snowflake had left the women to their own devices to source the butter, but they had no vehicles and could not go out of the township to get butter," says Polak. "I really believe Snowflake had the best of intentions, but there was nothing sustainable about this program."
In the end, the women were even more disenfranchised because they had been promised a program that would give them new skills. "They were pretty upset."
Meanwhile, Polak's own career was in flux. As an investment banker specializing in IPOs for closed-end country funds at Merrill Lynch, she had traveled extensively to developing countries where she was moved by the poverty she saw. India, she recalls, was particularly harsh. "That kind of sat with me," she says.
Her dream was to work for a large, international relief organization, so Polak went back to school to earn an MBA at New York University to develop strategic management and organizational skills. "Nobody wanted to hire me. If you come from investment banking they just think you're a geek who runs numbers," she says. "The aid industry is incestuous, and if you didn't get in there through somebody -- forget it. I begged for years for a job."
Polak was determined to make a difference and eventually got a job distributing wind-up radios to poor villages throughout Africa. On her travels she grew even more disenchanted with the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that were distributing private aid to the needy. "It's hard to make a blanket statement, but I saw a lot of waste. The NGOs are also there to create jobs for expats who live very nicely." She remembers being particularly struck by one NGO's large fleet of Toyota land cruisers equipped with leather seats. "Couldn't they at least get the cloth seats?"
Polak was a believer in the product she was distributing. The wind-up radio was a simple product that could be a lifesaver in a disaster, like the floods that devastated Mozambique in 2000. "I loved what I was doing and the product was brilliant, but I still felt I was just giving something away."
She grew even more troubled after an incident in Rwanda. She had just delivered a radio to a 16-year-old girl who was raising five siblings alone. One parent had died in the recent genocide in that country, the other from AIDS. The girl and her family were thrilled to have the radio, which was a highly prized item. But as Polak walked away from the home, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that a group of men had slipped up to the house through the network of trails that course through Rwanda and facilitated the genocide.
Her heart went cold. She was afraid she had just made the girl vulnerable to the men who would take the radio from her, possibly with force. "I thought, what did we just do here? What were the ramifications of giving a young 16-year-old girl a radio that is so valuable?" says Polak. "Maybe nothing, but the point is I just felt like one of these do-gooders who hasn't thought things through."
As she grew to question the established aid-distribution system more and more, Polak, who was then living in South Africa, turned back to her roots in business. One day she conceived of the cookie company, and in a matter of months she got it up and running on savings she had put aside during her banking career.
Cookies made sense in the context of Khayelitsha. Baking is a skill that is transferable across cultures and languages. "It's a simple product, and the end-product is friendly. It's not as if I'm trying to market a complex product or something that is that is difficult [to produce]."
Polak brought an entrepreneur's vision to the product, even down to collaborating with a local artist on the cartoon image of the mamas on the cookie packs. "The faces just popped into my head one day," she says. She also took a business approach, rather than a simple do-good approach, to developing a market for the cookies. While South Africa's population is 44 million, the nation's 4 million whites control most of the buying power. She knew they would not be inclined to buy premium cookies made by poor black women in a township. Developing a plan to sell to them would never pay off.
"I decided I can't change all these perceptions. I'm not going to market to them.
Instead of working into a problem, I said 'Forget it.'" To find a market, she turned to the tourists in the downtown hotels, who receive a Khayelitsha brownie on their pillows at night, as well as local restaurants and coffee houses. The company has sold more than 171,000 packs of cookies, and Polak says she expects it to break even in the next few months. She has taken on some South African investment partners and hopes to make her employees part-owners in the business soon.
Polak uses standard business measures to assess her business's strength, but for her there is another form of compensation. "If the mamas are cruising around in BMWs in five years, then I have attained a dream that I could not have ever imagined."

Thing about the Cookies is they hate everyone...even themselves!!
Thing about the Cookies is they hate everyone...even themselves!!
I love all this, the shannon lads hate young munster and likewise in return, the way I saw it, that notion was always bull**** ,more a bit of local rivalry and fun than anything. I love a few pints in young munster wateringholes, and know of many ymunster lads love pints in shannon spots. In facta, only a year or so ago, I introduced some diehard cookies to Charlie Malones ,said 3 had never been. Maybe the younger generation have misinterpreted banter between rivals as genuine dislike
That's cos there are too many cookies pubs in limerick

You've hit the nail on the head there buddy. On the field there's no love lost but once that line is crossed some of them (in fact a lot of them) are best mates from school and are generally pally. It how it was back in the day and for most players in the current squads its how it still is
[QUOTE=Dumptruck;1125586]Exactly, it,s a minority of those that have never played (nothing wrong with that) and some that do play ,that take it too far. Garryowen FC, now thats another can of piss
Crescent another shower of ****s !
I love a few pints in Cookie Land as well, especially listening to them droning on about the Bateman Cup , the Star of their hole and Steve Jameson. In fact I smile when I think of Young Munster, of whom we beat many's a game.

And we're only too happy to take your money !
when I visit shanning pubs, I like to listen to them reminisce about the good olde days,Galway, Foley, 99 AIL's in a rows, their bony isle, how Munster would be nothing without them, how we all owe them a debt, how all the shanning leginds were born within the bowls of TP, coonaghs fantastic carpark floodlighting.
yeah, I really enjoy those moments !
Oh Sweet Jesus... reminisce. The Cookies won the Bateman Cup in the 20s? and have been carping on about it since. At least Shannon's heady days are within living memory! And don't get me started about Bohs and their red red Robin.. the only robin thats there nowadays is all the robin of players there doing.
Ah shur, don't worry about it. You won't have to put up with the cookies for much longer, as shanning will be going the way of wanderers etc.
in the same way that Man U fans feel sorry for Liverpool , we cookies feel sorry for yer troubles.
Look on the bright side, at least you won't have to put up with Clancy in the lower divisions .
Haha, what a super comment!!
But on a serious note, no matter what club your affiliated with, me being a cookie for one, hope Shannon or Shanning (which ever is your preference) don't go down the route of wanderers, i feel this season will pass them by but its next season that will be crucial because if they don't bounce back they go the same way we did and struggle to get back up for a good few seasons
31-13 loss at home to dolphin...bottom of the table, 115 points conceded in 3 games, only 23 points scored (13 of them today). Only Sundays Well (116), Sligo (117) and Connemara (136) have conceded more, all these teams in Division 2B. Ballymena (19) are the only team to have scored less in all divisions.
Away to Belvo next week.
Whats going on??? Panic buttons being pressed yet?
On the internet, you can be anything you want. It always amazes me why so many people choose to be stupid.
I'm starting to really panic now ! The situation is now looking critical !

Something big needs to change ASAP for Shannon... not looking good!
Things looking very bleak of Shannon. Where are the '000s of members who joined duing the 4 in a row years? When you couldn't go for a pint in Limerick without hearing the isle or seeing a shannon blazer on the street? Or when most of their panels had 30+ players, but it was preferable to actually playin rugby with a club. Shannon RFC, the original bandwagon.
I hate Shannin, tis good enough for them. marching up the yellow road with the their Munster senior cup to rub our noses in it...
Only joking, Limerick & Munster, rugby need a strong Shannon team, they're part of the fabric of the city and the tradition of rugby in it.
Will be a tough year for them, but no doubt they'll be back. Bastards
Con Artist
Munster need Shannon to make a come back and we're all behind them. IRFU / Leinster would hate the to hear the Isle again.
Lads. stop bitching and pull together !!!!
Could not disagree more
munster need none of the Munster clubs, only their better players
IRFU/Leinster don't want to know and don't care about Shannon RFC.
who is bitching and why should anyone "pull together" for Shannon .
the plain fact is that Shannon RFC thought they were better than everyone else for years and let everyone know it. None of the other clubs in limerick feel sorry for them, as they are rivals, plain and simple.
and remember St. Mary's are the true parish club.
never give a sucker a break and all that.
Keeshan kicks Dolphin to victory against Shannon
Barry Keeshan
27/10/2012 - 17:48:21
Shannon 13 Dolphin 31
Shannon's dismal start to the Ulster Bank League continued when they went down to a superior Dolphin team at Coonagh this afternoon.
Out-half Barry Keeshan was hugely instrumental for the Corkmen once again, accumulating 16 points from the kicking tee and showing his class with ball in hand too.
Dolphin led 14-6 at the interval thanks to a penalty try in the seventh minute and flanker Rob O'Herlihy touched down after 21 minutes.
Shannon had taken an early led through the boot of Rob Guerin, and a superbly-taken try from Connacht's James Loxton put the Limerick giants right back into contention.
The winger made a great break down the left to touch down in the 56th minute, closing the gap to 17-13, but that was as good as it got for Stephen Keogh's youthful side.
Dolphin sewed up their second victory of the campaign - they are now fourth in the Division 1A standings - with a late try from bulldozing prop Christy Condon.
It was a score that had been coming as Shannon had to play with only 13 players for a spell in the second half following two yellow cards for professional fouls.
Dolphin, despite running out comprehensive winners, also had to dig deep in the opening period when they had a player sin-binned for repeatedly roaming offside.
Shannon: Try: James Loxton; Con: Rob Guerin; Pens: Rob Guerin 2
Dolphin: Tries: Penalty try, Rob O'Herlihy, Christy Condon; Cons: Barry Keeshan 2; Pens: Barry Keeshan 3; Drop: Barry Keeshan
Match Report Courtest of Breakingnews.ie.
Tough full on match between 2 "Ordinary" teams....difference was that Dolphin had a good Outhalf who used the conditions and had lots of experience...we kinda put a gloss on it with the 7 points from an intercept try from our 10 yard line...again standard of reffing at these matches leaves a lot to be desired, but he was equally bad to both sides. Have to say that everyone in a Shannon jersey gave 100% yesterday, and upped the game when down to 13 Men.
Think a lot of the "Bottom Feeders" and "Carrion" who leave comments on this thread are doing a major disserrvice to the Clubs that they proport to follow, and have short memories of their own Club's problems. Very short term memories......and show very little Historical knowledge of the Club game....Oh ya......think they may have just discovered Rugby with the Munster Team and the redevelopment of Thomond Park......Bet they dont remember the Timber Stand with the broken Glass at either end!!!!!!! But then again their limited brains may be able to remember back to last season where, the then Champions failed to record a win for nearly half the season.....Bad news for ye Guys......Shannon RFC will not be going away!

There never was a Shannon bandwaggon. The 4 in a row was just another chapter in a fantastic senior history. The Munster Senior Cup years in the late 1970s had as much claim on true greatness as the AIL teams. Shannon players were the beating heart of Al-Ireland rubgy and, in later years, Munster. Watching their current trials is painful for many, unless you're a Cookie and or from certain other Limerick clubs.
"Playing against ROG, your big game plan is to try and pressure him but hed dump it off to Wally and next thing youre five metres behind the gain line because he was an absolute freak." Rory Best, Irish Examiner, May 2012
I support Young Munster and take no joy in Shannons current predicament.
Im not having sleepless nights about it but to say( Cookies as you call them) as a whole love it is a bit narrow minded(much like the twats on here gloating)
Nobody who genuinely loves their rugby gloats to see a club like Shannon sink to the level they seem to be now. Hopefully they can pick themselves up and sort things out because its no fun just slagging Garryowen and Bohs
There will be no slagging of Bohs this year
me thinks,if i was to bet id bet on them as AIL champions.
(hope its Young Munster but hard to see past Bohs)
Bohs will be round 5th, with Lansdowne, Tarf, YM and Con.
I wouldn't be suprised to see the shepards hook round Keogh neck after getting nothing from Dolphin match. Poor result! I hear more players have packed it in, noteably Sargent, the outhalf
If young Sargent is gone it is very bad news for Shannon,given his backround. I never had any love for Shannon, but I always had huge respect. A lot of people are very disappointed at the clubs treatment of the Senior Cup this year. Real Shannon people are mortified (most of my cousins are Shannon fanatics). Limerick, Munster and Irish rugby needs a strong successful Shannon. From what I hear the club is in big danger.

While I generally hold a high opinion of Select Quote, a good friend of mine sells life insurance for Select Quote here in San Diego, so I have a bit of an "insider's" view when offering a Select Quote review. There are many wonderful advantages in using an agency like Select Quote. I'll cover some of these, as well as what I see as the negatives about Select Quote.
Articles to Reference:
Do Life Insurance policies really pay out?
Select Quote Advantages
Probably your greatest advantage dealing with Select Quote is they are an independent agency, meaning they offer coverage from a variety of different life insurance companies. This is particularly important for someone with a health impairment such as diabetes. That's because some companies are more lenient than others when it comes to certain medical issues, so it's highly beneficial to share your health history with an agent, like at Select Quote, who can recommend the company that will offer you the best rating. I know Select Quote is very thorough in the use of their medical questionnaire, so this is a big plus.
Some other benefits to consider in our Select Quote Review is their agents are very knowledgeable and well trained. They're a huge agency, licensed in 49 states, and have streamlined the underwriting process as much as possible. Some people may find it attractive that from the beginning of your application process to your policy delivery, you can conduct 100 percent of your business with Select Quote by telephone. This saves time and is convenient not having to go to an agent's office. So it's easy to understand why they're the number one seller of term life insurance online.
Select Quote Pricing
Select Quote can't offer a lower premium than any other agency or agent. So say you're purchasing a $500,000, 30 year term policy through Banner Life. The premium purchasing this through Select Quote will be exactly the same as buying it through an agent who just got his license yesterday. Life insurance premiums just are what they are, so there's no benefit in working with Select Quote here. However, I highly recommend using an independent agent for the reasons discussed above, especially with any special risk factors. You certainly don't want to go to an agent who works for State Farm or Northwestern Mutual, or some other "captive" agent who must only sell his own company's products.
The Negatives – Select Quote Sales and Service
I only have a couple problems with Select Quote. The first has to do with their agents' compensation. Their agents have the luxury of working for a company with seemingly unlimited leads, so they can make calls all day long and sell, sell, sell. The trade off for this luxury is, on average, Select Quote only pays them about a quarter of the commission that an agent would make who owns his own agency and gets 100 percent of the commission. Having said that, Select Quote agents have to sell dozens of policies per month to make a good living, so their agents aren't able to dedicate the time necessary to each client during the initial call. My agent friend says he has been trained to always give a quote the first time he speaks to a new prospect. The problem I have with that is that many people have medical problems, or a combination of problems that require calling around to different underwriters and checking on the rating before you should quote the prospect. Or in other words, their agents are trained to sell as many policies they can as quickly as they can, and the unspoken truth here is that sometimes the client is disserviced in this process. It makes me feel like Select Quote agents don't always have the very best in mind for their client, but just want to sell them any policy that they can talk the client into.
The other issue I have with them is related to their sales techniques, and that is poor service. When you buy a policy through Select Quote, the person you will probably know and remember the best was the agent who sold your policy to you. However, the unfortunate truth is after your policy goes in force, you will almost certainly never speak to that person again. They simply don't have time to call to "check up" on you or conduct routine service checks like I do with my annual reviews. Follow up is so important though. Let's say you've changed addresses, or changed banks and need to switch the account your payment comes from, or you've had another child, and need to add him as a beneficiary. It's little things like this that don't get done unless you conduct annual reviews.
So, to sum it up, I really do like what they do over at Select Quote for the most part. In no way do I feel that Select Quote is a scam, as some websites claim. However, I do feel if you use an independent agent like me who has been in business for a while, that's the absolute best way to go, since you get all the benefits of working with an agent who can take your case to any carrier, but you also will get an agent who can take his time with you up front during the sales portion, and will then be able to offer you service after the sale.
