By Paul H O'Mahony (Cork)
You're invited to an Irish adventure. From a small island in the Atlantic Ocean - off West Coast of Europe - Hyperlocal podcasting from Cork. Your host is poet Paul O'Mahony - language is fluid & melodic (sometimes) - value-laden & political (othertimes) - This is for people who crave detail, not generalisations. Often there's drama & opera - depression & resurrection - dog-walking & fatherhood - poetry & fantasy - Above all, you'll find this podcast predictably imaginative

I met a Rottweiler in Moanbaun Wood
This adventure begins with the sound of Paul O'Mahony panting. He's recovering from his very slow run. Out of breath, he utters words about golf. He listens to birdsong, as his dog Louis pants. You hear Paul wondering why the birds don't tweet from the top of the trees. Moanbaun Wood is Paul's favourite walking place, with gorse in yellow bloom alongside the trail. You hear the Rottweiler and her owners. Plus the conversation. plus how the two dogs - Bella & Louis - get on. Should rottweilers be muzzled? Do they have a "bad name"? Should rottweilers sleep on your bed? Is it therapeutic for Paul to meet a rottweiler? You find out by listening.

If you're brave - you can buy this Epic Poem
Google "Irish Epic Poem in 33 Cantos". You'll find the Kindle Edition of Paul O'Mahony's "Inferno". Written in November 2009, 33,000 words crushed into one story. It's a crime poem, a shocking thriller, an autobiography. You better be warned: it's a fierce unrelenting attack on certain members of the Roman Catholic bishops' circle, members of government - the ruling class. But it's full of lines as dense as these " you wouldn't want to spoil the thrill of unbeckoning insight ..." "Is the Mahābhārata where you find Ganesh strumming a lyre? Those are lazy whisperers ..." This episode is an introduction to the poem by the poet. It is not the poem, however lyrical it sounds. You never know - this might put you off buying the Kindle edition.

MY MUSICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY (part 5)
Paul O'Mahony's musical life in Limerick (1965 - 1968) Ireland included very little Irish music. Here Paul plays music he didn't like from Brendan Bowyer ("The Hucklebuck" - released in 1965) & Dickie Rock. Alongside music he loved - the Doors ("Light My Fire" - released in January 1967). While recording this episode Paul remembers how much he used to like the music of Percy French (1854 - 1920) from County Roscommon.

In woods without Rebecca

Music I still listen to & don't feel guilty about - from #Octaver2018
Part 1 To get the full value of this episode - you'll have to listen in a silent room (perhaps even a vacuum). Because Simon & Jana speak very softly (and my studio volume control dial wasn't able to amplify the sound). Bernard Stanley "Acker" Bilk, MBE (28 January 1929 – 2 November 2014) was an English clarinetist and vocalist ... "Stranger on the Shore" is the music I still listen to. Part 2 Feeling guilty while listening to music doesn't feel right - does it? Music you might not expect me to love: "I'm the king of the jungle" "The hills are alive with the sound of music" "South Pacific".

A Bukowski fan reads 3 poems: "His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.[4] His work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over 60 books. The FBI kept a file on him as a result of his column, Notes of a Dirty Old Man, in the LA underground newspaper Open City..." (Wiki)

On the road from Cork to golf #audio365
Louis had to be dropped to kennels for 36 hours. Paul made a mistake, and arrived there too early. There's a bit of singing from Act 1 of Verdi's opera La Traviata. The poor Minister for Health gets it in the neck from Paul who pours out spleen. Delayed by his enjoyment of coffee on the road, you hear a man hurrying afraid he's going to be late for the 4-ball in Greystones Golf Club. The last sigment was recording while driving back to Cork.

INSIDIOUS - a fairly new poem
Insidious I was walking along a couple of roads, one turned to the sea, the wave, the water, the tide ... one sloped to the mountain, the scree, the rock, the peak ... I followed a breath like a hunter. There were distractions, high like eagles, busy like bees, imaginations like sugar, addictions, paradise, a sweet-shop shining scent of fish nectar, pollen, ice. I was walking along a couple of roads when the earth gave birth to twins, and twins to twins I followed a breath like a hunted fox. ______________ Read by the poet Paul O'Mahony Recorded in kitchen in Cork on 16 July 2018

WANDERLUST - Why do people walk?
This is a serious listen - "Wanderlust, A History of Walking" by Rebecca Solnit - first published in UK by Verso (imprint of New Left Books) 2001. The reading starts in a bed in Cork Ireland - a very sleepy Paul O'Mahony struggles to start his walk through the introduction to a 300 page paperback book. "I know nothing about Rebecca Solnit. I've done no research - it was the title & subtitle that hooked me" - says Paul. "I have no idea how much of it I'll read - or how many comments I'll make - as I walk across & down through the pages. "Maybe I'll be educated or disinterested, delighted or distracted, but I'm pretty sure I'll be curious & have mixed feelings."

Yad Vashem was first proposed in September 1942, at a board meeting of the Jewish National Fund, by Mordecai Shenhavi, a member of Kibbutz Mishmar Ha'emek...." (Wiki) The Hall of Names at Yad Vashem is the Jewish People's memorial to each and every Jew who perished in the Holocaust – a place where they may be commemorated for generations to come. The main circular hall houses the extensive collection of "Pages of Testimony" – short biographies of each Holocaust victim. Over two million Pages are stored in the circular repository around the outer edge o

The Islander - (poem for #audiomo Day 29)
Specially recorded for #audiomo - first public reading by Paul O'Mahony. The Islander Chapter One He could have been on Sherkin, Inishbofin, Skelligs or even Rathlin... He was an outlaw, cast away from the land, away from his people. His face didn't fit, his family were not from the right side of town. There was no time for him, he could rot there. Eventually his spirit would break, he would comply, he would conform, he would be broken - or so they thought... It would teach them, it would show them not to meddle with our family, not to get above themselves. Yea, 27 winters on Sherkin 27 springs on the Skelligs 27 summers on Rathlin 27 years of nightmares on any island you fancy. It was good to keep him there, disappeared. Our family had need of safety, his family were dangerous, thugs, revolutionaries, communists, rapists. oh yea, uncouth, uncivilised, Untermenschen. Chapter Two Our family is special, we have survived our own wars. We're used to feeling superior ... (continued)

I stand against the crowd of wasters who fritter their life away their way. I waste my life my way I fritter my days into the oblivion I fashion every step I say. Because I am who am Me Condemned to be myself I stand out from the crowd comfortable in my discomforting way that comes from every pore every sore every score of my expressions. It's my art The heart of my song The liver that cleans my spleen seen in all my glory every time I stand against the crowd Each and every difference Friction Grating Unconforming Uncomplying Understandable me. See that fella hovering on the edge the one who isn't fitting in the one with the shifty eyes the glint of his own You can smell that he's An outsider A weirdo An awkward one An individual Heart ...

WANTING MORE - (poem for #audiomo Day 18)
Poem by Paul O'Mahony - read by Paul O'Mahony ________ Wanting more I've always been found wanting more than a woodpecker carves into the last tree in the last forest, wanting more than my parents ever offered, – even more than father bestowed on one of his good days. I was born wanting more time for love. I've grown hungrier by the day, thirstier by night, always grasping for clean air. There's never been a father more loved, ever since letters of infinity were strung together on a necklace that shines with promise and gradually shrinks until it chokes the living daylight out of me. I've always wanted to beg. Like most beggars, my voice has been feeble – barely enough courage to pay the price father demanded. I've always been found wanting to trust more. I'm used to starving. Bless me Father, for I have sinned on a daily basis. Let me do penance – only let me have time to pay.

REUNITED - (poem for #audiomo Day 14)
Reunited I left the house of my reincarnation before the swallows returned the year they cancelled the Grand National. I walked out the door before dawn disappeared, drove through a dream as if in a dismal draft of corked Dolcetto. I pitched my leaky tent in Wiltshire 'til forced out by a wife's thirst for regeneration. Winter hardened the road I travelled as I wished to wallow like a pig in the hot mud Bladud found. I sailed back to the Province of my birth in a ferry beset by bleeding ballast, into the storm of a tiger's saliva ... (continued in audio) #audiomo

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE OYSTERS (poem for #AudioMo)
You don't have to like oysters You don't have to like oysters, there's nothing wrong with you if caviar and truffles turn you off. Though some will look down their nose at you if you decline champagne, it's not a sin to spend your life without a diamond ring or stud. As for grand opera, Wimbledon, Ascot and the Royal Tea Party, you're not alone in preferring to dunk ginger nut biscuits in Earl Gray and nibble soldiers with soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. I met one honest man who ate puffer fish before his wife – with their Johney in mind. He founded a not-for-profit that cared for orphans in Somalia or earthquake victims in Katmandu. There are bungee jumpers, macrobiotic vegans and others devoted to saving earthworms from global warming, before the bees run out. You don't even have to be like any of them, if you want your tombstone to be admired. Your legacy may not even be on your agenda – and who cares if no one remembers your greatest achievement? No one ... (continued in audio)

BACKTRACKING (poem for #AudioMo day 7)
Backtracking They robbed one man of his loneliness when they automated the Skelligs - a lighthouse for the wider world went out. You could feed a multitude on the soft greenery with the loaves and fishes behind that view. We climbed the stairs assembled with the same architectural craft as those stones igloos. The cell opened up first light, then warmth, it became easier to see the attraction There's no hardship in those cells just the pain you bring inside that's yours to cherish.

YOU JUST CAME TO ME (poem for #audiomo Day 6)
Paul O'Mahony reads his poem "You just came to me" for #AudioMo 2018) Pig-sty to cattle track, anemones to fountain-pen, you sat in yellowed armchair, among psychiatric alumni, released into a fighting streetscape, where burnt-out cars took place of bicycles. Your warrior-self listened to every voice with the greeting of a saint who wrote with a sun-lit plume. Prince of the messengers, carrier of connections, pointing companions around wild flowers, through the thicket of everyday life, out into a clearing, ever shadowed, ever dappled, your painterly hand ever active, you spoke of trees in a family field, the feed from bonamhs that licked your fingertips, the rub of the beast that reminded you of animated conversations, the rough warm blanket into which you were born. You walked every inch of the lane that led from farm-house, past copulating ragwort, to a table strewn with words drawn together for the sake of safe passage. In that armchair, you smiled ...

A FAMOUS SONG MANGLED #singsongsaturday
How tough is that Louis in the window? The one with the funny tale How tough is that Louis in the window? I do hope that Louis won't fail. I must take a ship to Patagonia And leave my poor Fortune at home If she has a heart, she won't be loathsome And dear Louis will have his trombone. How tough is that Louis in the window? The one with the funny tale How tough is that Louis in the window? I do hope that Louis won't fail. Beyond the internet there are planets With flashlights that breathe in delight My love needs a Louis to enthral her Compel her to cry with her might. I don't want Mercury or History, I don't want a Venus that talks, I don't want a bowl of little Neptunes She can't take a Black Hole for a walk. How tough is that Louis in the window? The one with the funny tale How tough is that Louis in the window? I do hope that Louis won't fail. (with special thanks to Bob Merrill) + (massive thanks to Tim Ereneta) PS: Neptune is the fourth largest planet in terms of diameter

THE UNIQUE PODCAST Joke
Surely this isn't for real - it sounds like Paul talking to the world's most experienced podcasters - "How to turn yourself into an archangel" he promises. The hundred acres life - Winnie the Pooh - self-fulfilment. Even the Makropulos Case (opera by Janecek) is mentioned. I think this was meant to attract new listeners to "From Cork With Love Adventure" - podcast. I doubt it succeeded.

Meats & Poultry
If you are in the market for premium cuts of meat and poultry, choose from our extensive selection of the finest beef, pork and poultry from around the country. We deliver some of the freshest cuts of meat directly to your front door from some of the most well-known suppliers of premium meats, including Double R Ranch Co., Snake River Farms, Pure Bred and Pat LaFrieda Meats. We guarantee your meat remains fresh by packing each order with dry ice in insulated containers.
Choose from our selection of perfectly dry-aged T-bone steaks, porterhouses, New York strip steaks, rib-eye steaks and flat-iron steaks. We also offer a selection of the world's most renowned cut of steak that is hard to find at your local grocer, the Kobe steak. A set of four mouth-watering Kobe rib-eye steaks that are dry-aged for 28 days and precisely cut by a master butcher are at your fingertips. Try our selection of elegantly marbled Kobe filet mignon steaks with a smooth, silky texture and buttery flavor that immediately melts in your mouth.
We also offer dry-aged steak collections that allow you to keep premium cuts of world-class beef on hand at all times. The collections include all natural boneless rib-eye steaks, juicy bone-in filet cuts and porterhouse steaks, which combine the flavor of a filet mignon with a New York strip steak.
Aside from our extensive selection of premium cuts of steak, we also offer delectable beef tenderloins, melt-in-your-mouth beef briskets and generously marbled standing prime rib roasts. Our selection of beef briskets are perfect for the weekend griller or professional BBQ chefs who need specialty aged beef brisket that can smoke on the grill for hours. You can easily slow cook our beef tenderloins in the oven or on a low-temperature grill for a robust, hearty flavor that slowly melts in your mouth with each bite. Try something a little more original than a traditional straight cut of meat by viewing our selection of four bacon-wrapped filet mignons. The explosion of flavor in this delectable treat comes from the natural wood smoke of the bacon giving the filet mignon a buttery, rich texture. Serve the filets with one of our tasty appetizers, perhaps a light humus sampler, truffle camembert with aromatic dried fruit or potato latkes.
Our selection of prime meats also includes fresh hot and mild Italian sausages, fresh hot dogs, lamb loin roasts, racks of lamb and legs of lamb. Our selection of legs of lamb immediately stands out with their delicate marbling and extra-large size. Our boneless lamb loin roast is a combination of the strip and the tenderloin, and many top chefs agree it is one of the most tender cuts of lamb. Our Williams-Sonoma fresh hot dogs are unlike anything you can find at your local grocer. Each dog is made from 100 percent beef with natural casings that give the best dogs that famous snap when you bite into one. Try one of our hot or mild Italian sausages made from real Hampshire pork. Each sausage link offers the perfect blend of choice pork cuts and an equal balance of herbs and spices in both the mild and hot varieties.
We also offer a selection of premium ground beef blends that includes a short-rib beef blend, a meatloaf blend and a collection of 24 beef sliders. The short-rib beef blend puts a delectable spin on the traditional ground beef used to make burgers. The blend of beef comes from the highest quality in short ribs that give you the extra meaty flavor you always expect from a quality hamburger.

Art Exhibit Examines the Human Figure
When you step across the threshold of WCC's Gallery One now through Feb. 24, you are struck with the unsettling feeling that a subtle layer of humanity has been deftly peeled away. That feeling draws you farther into a labyrinth of three-quarter walls and oddly shaped spaces, as you pause thoughtfully at the striking pieces of artwork on display.
The exhibit, "Considering the Figure: Four Points of View," features the paintings of Margaret Davis, prints of Nancy Diessner, drawings of Robert Hanson, and sculptures of Louis Marinaro. An opening reception and gallery talk are scheduled for Feb. 10 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm in the gallery. Diessner will discuss her work at 6:00pm.
"They all come at their work from such different points of view," said Anne Rubin, gallery director. "The figure is a vehicle in which to express those points that other people can relate to. Take for example the sculpture, 'Woman with Two Rocks,' by Lou Marinaro. It's based on a Mesopotamian myth that tells of a great deluge and the two lone survivors of it. They pleaded with giants to allow them to people the earth. The giants told them to loosen their clothes, cover their heads, and drop the bones of the earth—rocks—on the plains. The sculpture depicts that woman with her head covered and the rocks of new life in her hands."
"If you're going to talk about human issues, what else are you going to use?," asked Marinaro, a professor in the School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. "So that's what I do, meaning if you're going to tell a story about humanity I don't know why you wouldn't use the figure. It seems to me to be an obvious choice."
The drawings and photographs of Hanson and Diessner have a lot to say about the emotions of their subjects and our emotions as voyeurs. "The figures in Robert and Nancy's work are very expressive and very psychological, each having something unique to say about the body," said Rubin.
Hanson's portraits are more of an echo than a true likeness of his subjects. They're accented with a gentle stroke of color, and your eyes travel slowly along the silhouettes until they rest gently on each face.
"In most cases, I approach a drawing with nothing particular in mind," Hanson told an interviewer in 2009. "Openness, airiness, transparency—I love those qualities! Drawing is the best way for me to get at them. When a work of art has these qualities, my feet move directly across the museum floor toward that image."
The figures in Diessner's photographs are seen through layers of color or a network of lines and tangles and are sometimes in the company of animals, leaving an observer with the disquieting urge to reach out and remove the veil that subtly covers them.
In her artist's statement, Diessner, an associate professor of interdisciplinary arts at Chester College in New Hampshire, said: "My work is about the conflation of the animal and the human, and about the longing—both immediate and eternal—for the 'other.' The figure, for me, is the expressive form for that longing and for the life-force and presence that I want to connect with."
Davis, too, brings other elements into her work, visuals that imply abstract ideas like time and evolution that she portrays, for example, through fossils in her painting, "Carriers," or in the implied architectural form in her painting titled "Column."
"The human form is a key subject matter in our lives; I can use it poetically or I can use it literally or in a lot of other ways," said Davis, a professor in the art department at Eastern Michigan University. "The figure can be portrayed as specific as the viewer, and at the same time play a role outside the norm."
Gallery One is open Monday and Tuesday 10:00am-6:00pm, Wednesday and Thursday 10:00am-8:00pm, and Friday 10:00am-noon. The exhibit and the gallery talk on Feb. 10 are free and open to the public. For more information call 734-477-8512.

LIVE MARKETS-No need to be worried about U.S. shutdown
Jan 22 (Reuters) - Welcome to the home for real time coverage of European equity markets brought to you by Reuters stocks reporters and anchored today by Julien Ponthus. Reach him on Messenger to share your thoughts on market moves: firstname.lastname@example.com NO NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT U.S. SHUTDOWN (1044 GMT) That's the view from investment manager Rathbones on the U.S. government shutdown. "I believe investors shouldn´t get too panicked. It's important to remember that financial markets barely blinked at the last two shutdowns in 1995/96 and 2013," Ed Smith, head of asset allocation research at Rathbones, said in a note. The U.S. Senate is due to vote on a funding bill at 1700 GMT later today. "Markets do not react because the economic impact is not that large," Smith added. In Europe markets are still flat, suggesting the focus remains on M&A activity and upcoming earnings reports. (Kit Rees) ***** BANKS: CAN YOU SEE Q4 THREATS IF YOU TAKE THE HELICOPTER VIEW? (1039 GMT) As mentioned in the post below, the rotation to banks has been a very popular trade so far in 2018, seen as a proxy to play the buoyant Euro zone economy and monetary normalisation. But while this seems to make perfect sense when one takes a helicopter view on the sector, in the short term, Q4 could be a tricky one, just as UBS seems to show this morning. Looking at the French banking sector, Deutsche Bank notes three potential threats to Q4 results: * Retail banking is still suffering from low interest rates and that's hurting net interest margins. * Low volatility is a drag for market activities, and that has been clearly exposed last week in the results of U.S. investment banks. * One-offs such as SocGen's recent tax fight with the French government, are not a thing of the past. JP Morgan has made a similar warning to its clients, advising them to be selective in picking the right banking stock. Interestingly, DB, like JP Morgan, also recommends favouring Natixis over Societe Generale and notes its recent underperformance: (Julien Ponthus) ***** DOES UBS SHARE DROP SET A PATTERN FOR Q4 BANK RESULTS? (1010 GMT) UBS kicked off European bank earnings with buybacks and higher dividends despite a U.S. tax-related writedown, but the shares are down 1.6 percent. Cyclical stocks like banks have been buoyed the most by the flood of money into equities since the start of the year and UBS is no exception. The Swiss bank´s earnings forecasts were in line with consensus, but that was still enough to trigger some selling, one analyst tells us. It seems the market was holding out hope for more ambitious targets from UBS given wealth generation in the world is increasing, new money is growing and markets are strong. (Tom Pfeiffer) ***** VIEWS FROM THE STREET: RICHEMONT'S OFFER FOR YNAP (0950 GMT) Surging up to the top of Italy's stock index is Yoox Net-a-Porter, up 24 percent to a record high after Richemont put in a bid for the remaining shares in YNAP, at a 26 percent premium to Friday's closing price. "The deal seems to reflect Richemont's aim to expand but at the same time control its distribution channels," note Baader Helvea analysts. The deal is in a similar vein to Richemont's recent move to increase its stake in duty free retail company Dufry. "Given the lack of interesting acquisition targets up for sale in their core business of hard luxury, Richemont has decided to put at work its big cash pile investing into distribution channels," write Bernstein's Mario Ortelli and team. Crucially, Bernstein analysts note, Richemont will continue to run YNAP as a separate business in order to make sure third-party luxury brands continue to see it as a neutral platform. The already strong ties between the companies mean analysts don't see counter-bids as likely. We're just under the offer price of 38 euros now. Richemont shares meanwhile are down 1 percent as investors digest the bid. "Due to [YNAP's] relatively lower ROIC profile, some investors may question the group's decision to go back to the lower return e-commerce business rather than look to expand its existing brand portfolio," says Berenberg. (Helen Reid) ***** OPENING SNAPSHOT: STOXX 600 FLAT (0813 GMT) European shares have opened little changed with the broader pan-regional STOXX 600 stuck at Friday's level and sectoral indexes also showing small moves. Germany's DAX is up a little as Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives prepare for formal coalition talks after the centre-left SPD voted narrowly to go ahead following months of political deadlock. Below the surface, the price swings are much bigger. Top 2 movers on the STOXX 600 are Sweden's Orphan Biovitrum, up 15 percent, which is a partner of hemophilia drug maker Bioverativ that Sanofi agreed to buy, and bookie William Hill, down 14 percent after the Sunday Times reported that Britain will limit gambling terminal stakes to two pounds. (Danilo Masoni) ***** SANOFI'S MOVE BOOSTS BIOTECH M&A PIPELINE (0747 GMT) Investors betting on a pick of M&A deals in the pharma sector will likely be emboldened by news that French healthcare group Sanofi has agreed to buy U.S. peer Bioverativ in a $11.6 billion transaction. Check out our story here for more details on the cash deal which comes after Sanofi had failed to land major takeovers in recent years. Separately, Biotest said late on Friday it sold its U.S. operations, allaying U.S. national security concerns and paving the way for the German blood plasma products maker's sale to a Chinese investor. Just in recent weeks there has been a flurry of M&A deals in the biotech space worth several billion dollars. Here's a quick recap of dealmaking that has involved European companies: Novo Nordisk/Ablynx; Roche/Ignyta; and Takeda/TiGenix . (Danilo Masoni) ***** WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (0740 GMT) It seems to be business as usual so far on European stocks markets with futures indicating shares to rise slightly, expect in London with the FTSE losing a few points. That could change however with a prolonged stalemate in Washington but in the meantime, in Europe, prospects of talks between Merkel allies and the SPD should support sentiment. Main newsmaker this morning is France's Sanofi, which confirmed a bid for U.S. peer Bioverativ , another sign that M&A should indeed continue to spice things up. Switching from spice to sugar, Italian airports and motorway operator Atlantia is open to sweeten its bid to Abertis and other takeover preys, such as Ablynx in Belgium or GKN in the UK, expect their would-be suitors to cough up more cash to woo investors. A deal is not always needed though for shareholders to get extra cash: UBS proposed an increased dividend and new share buyback programme despite a hefty write down from a tax overhaul in the United States. Other movers today could include troubled South African retailer Steinhoff which plans to sell about 7.5 billion rand ($620 million) of shares in investment firm PSG Group it scrambles to plug a liquidity gap. Possible impact also of the chief executive of Dixons Carphone leaving Britain's largest electricals and mobile phone retailer to run the Boots chain. Also, platinum miner Lonmin reported a 65 percent drop in 2017 profit, citing higher costs and subdued commodity prices but reiterated its 2018 targets Please have a look below for a summary of our main headlines. (Julien Ponthus) ***** MAIN HEADLINES (0740 GMT) Healthcare group Sanofi agrees to buy U.S. peer Bioverativ for $11.6 bln Richemont offers 2.8 bln euros to buy Yoox Net-A-Porter Steinhoff to place shares in PSG Group worth around $620 million UBS ups investor returns as US tax overhaul socks bank with quarterly loss Takeover target GKN raises forecast for electric driveline sales Dixons Carphone reports 6 percent jump in underlying revenue Dixons Carphone CEO James quits for job at Boots TUI sees record sales, earnings in 2018-paper Atlantia opens door to sweetening Abertis bid Takeaway.com says merger with Delivery Hero an option -paper UK Q4 motor insurance premiums fall 1.3 pct-survey Britain to limit gambling terminal stakes to two pounds-Sunday Times LVMH hires Hedi Slimane for Celine brand Engie to keep separate CEO, board chair roles -finance minister Deutsche Telekom expects steady dividend hikes -paper Hearing on Vivendi's appeal against Italian antitrust ruling postponed Schaeffler CEO says splitting company would be unwise -paper UK Takeover Panel extends deadline for IWG bidding Sika CEO says share price rise could end takeover battle UK's Computacenter says to beat 2017 expectations, sees stable 2018 Lonmin reports 65 percent fall in 2017 profit on higher costs (Tom Pfeiffer) ***** EUROPE'S STOCK FUTURES SLIGHTLY UP (0705 GMT) Futures have opened with slight gains overal but London's FTSE 100 is seen, as earlier indications from spreadbetters showed, opening in negative territory. (Julien Ponthus) ***** WHAT TO EXPECT ON MARKETS DURING A U.S. SHUTDOWN? (0645 GMT) While many see minimal impact on the economy from a short-term government shutdown, analysts say a prolonged stalemate in Washington could dampen investors' confidence in U.S. assets. Here's how Nordea sums up what's to be expected based on the previous shutdowns: (Julien Ponthus) ***** EUROPEAN MORNING CALL: SHARES SEEN OPENING SIDEWAYS (0625 GMT) Good morning and welcome to Live Markets. European shares are set to open sideways on Monday with the U.S. government still shut down but with hopes of an end to the political deadlock in Germany with German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives getting ready to start formal coalition talks with the Social Democrats (SPD). Earlier, U.S. stock futures, Asian equities and the dollar pulled back slightly as the U.S. government is shut down amid a dispute between President Donald Trump and Democrats over immigration. London's FTSE 100 is expected to open 14 points lower, Germany's DAX 31 points higher and France's CAC 40 up 5 points.

Apparently a lot of sites running tagboads are getting pop-up ads. This is not ComicGenesis, this is the tagboard software inserting a tiny flash file in the top of the tagboard so it auto-spawns a popup window. You can block these with Mozilla Firefox's flash blocker.

HAMPTON — When Hurricane Sandy started to make her arrival to the New Hampshire coast, some local establishments were welcoming the storm and patrons looking to revel in the hurricane theme.
At North Beach Bar and Grill in Hampton, Miami native Wilbur Pearson was enjoying the afternoon with his daughter Heidi, and her friend Jess Heath. Pearson said he was used to hurricanes being from Florida, but not used to the cold weather accompanying Sandy here in the Northeast.
"I think this is wonderful," he said of the storm and being able to watch it along with his daughter strike the Seacoast.
Pearson was supposed to leave for Florida from Logan Airport in Boston Monday afternoon after closing his Hampton home for the winter, but his flight was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy for at least a week.
Manager Theresa Devereaux said there would be a few drink and dinner specials in honor of Hurricane Sandy while the storm was over the region. She also said there's a lot to see from the restaurants location at North Beach during a storm.
"All the locals and people coming down to the wall to see the big waves," she said.
By mid-afternoon, the restaurant was filling up to capacity as people strolled in through the door from the gusty wind.
"They're just 'shooting the breeze' as they say," she said, noting the irony in her words and the day's 50 mph hour winds.
"It's usually a lot of fun getting to see the regulars," she said.
At the opposite end of the beach, Stacy Jane's was promoting a "hurricane party" at the restaurant and lounge.
Todd Glaczenski of Seabrook said the spot provides a great view of the storm and someplace fun to warm up and relax. He was doing just that with friend Tim Currier.
"It's awesome being right on the beach," Currier said.
Bartender Jess Mason has been mixing beverages for patrons for 2½ years and watched a few storms from the establishment in her time there.
On Monday, the Salisbury, Mass., native said she had to wait until she arrived at work to get ready for her shift as she was without power at her home.
She said the hurricane would be the overarching theme for the evening and let people have some fun during the storm, even if the power was to go out.
"We'll probably just go to candlelight," she said.
With the winter season around the corner, Mason said people can look forward to the theme of snowstorms replacing hurricanes.
"Any storms we've ever had in the past it's been a great time," she said.
Dan Sousa had just arrived at his shift at LeBec Rouge Monday afternoon where people were already claiming their seats to watch as other patrons struggled to open the door against the wind and head back out into the stormy elements.
"We're having a hurricane party," he laughed. "And hoping we don't lose power."
Three chefs from Mission Oak Grill in Salisbury, Mass., were relaxing during the storm at LeBec's after their own establishment had shut down for the day due to the storm.
Kevin Leary, of Hampton, was excited for what he'd witness during Hurricane Sandy.
"This is my first year on the beach. This is my first Hampton Beach storm," he said.
Leary was with friend, Celine Frechette, who said the foursome had walked from the corner of O Street and Ocean Boulevard to the restaurant located at the corner of L Street and Ocean Boulevard and were soaking wet by the time they arrived.
The group was similar to the locals and visitors who began piling into open businesses Monday night as heavier rain fell at the beach and driving winds blew sand across every street. Like the other establishments, LeBec's was expecting a good turnout of spectators from the storm.
"Everyone down at the beach usually comes in," Sousa said.
