Written Answers - Local Authority Charges
Wednesday, 2 November 2011
Dáil Éireann Debate
253. Deputy Paschal Donohoe asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will review the non-principal private residence so that local authority departments other than the finance department can access information detailing if properties have paid the NPPR on bed-sits and other privately rented accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32411/11]
Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan): I presume the question refers to the use of data collected by a local authority for the purposes of its functions relating to the charge on non-principal private residences (NPPR) for other unrelated local authority functions.
Section 11 of the Local Government (Charges) Act 2009 provides for data sharing and exchange for the purposes of the NPPR. The legislation does not provide for the use of data, obtained for the purposes of the NPPR, in the performance of other functions of a local authority.
[425]I will consider the wider usage of data obtained by local authorities in the context of forthcoming legislation to provide for the household charge.

Jennifer Trefelner: Father-daughter dance great time for bonding and to help children's program
There is something special about a father-daughter dance. It is a chance for little girls to get dressed up and spend the day with their "hero," and for dads to slow down and take the time to concentrate on one of their most important gifts.

So the obvious remedy is to make my own lunch. This salad is one of the easiest things to make, and it's pretty inexpensive to boot. I've served it as an appetizer for four, or a lunch for two, garnished with arugula, spinach, or whatever else you have. The only snag is that if you leave it sitting around too long, the avocados turn an unappetizing shade of brown. But thanks to this handy Bon Appétit trick, I've learned that if you rinse them briefly with cold water once they're sliced, you can keep them fresh-looking for at least 24 hours. I generally leave out oil because the avocados seem to be fatty enough, but it won't hurt to add a tablespoon if you'd like.
Chickpea, Avocado, and Feta Salad
Serves 2 to 4
1 14-ounce can chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 avocado, peeled, sliced, rinsed in cold water, dried on a paper towel, and chopped roughly into 1-inch cubes
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Place the chickpeas, avocado, red onion, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix well with a spoon. Add the feta, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls or over salad greens, garnished with pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 - PS3
Realistic looking player faces, great fun in local multiplayer
Online still broken, AI not up to scratch
A new football game instigates yet another opening paragraph proclaiming the state of sporting video game nation. With FIFA 10 being so damn brilliant, Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series has a whole heap of catching up to do.
Most immediately striking are those almost unnervingly accurate player likenesses. Obviously a lot of time has been spent lavishing graphical goodness on some of the world's greatest players, as a chunky number of them look ridiculously close to their real life counterpart. Players like Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi appear almost identical to the players they're trying to mimic.
Unfortunately things take a phenomenally rapid plummet downwards when these superstars of the footballing world decide they fancy a jog around. The straight backed sprinting remains intact, and continues to look comically terrible and startlingly unrealistic.
Similarly, while the 360 degrees of movement introduced in FIFA 10 was implemented with an incredibly high level of success, in PES 2010 things aren't quite so impressive. Though more movement variations are possible, there's no doubt whatsoever that the full 360 degrees simply can't be explored to the maximum. Something certainly not helped by the computer's insistence to stick to the traditional 8 directions we've contended with for many years.
While in control of things out on the pitch, things continue to be hit and miss. Dribbling feels stilted and on rails, and passing still has the continued obsession with aiming towards a player nowhere near your chosen intention. Yet shooting, coming from someone who has extensively played the FIFA series over the last few years, feels fantastically weighty and packed with inertia.
The pace of each match up certainly feels a lot faster than its FIFA opponent, with local multiplayer games in particular absolutely jam packed with frantic penalty box action.
The AI however doesn't exactly give a helping hand to proceedings, with some particularly dodgy goalkeeping spoiling the party. A number of long range efforts right at the keeper were simply "kneed in" by a flailing 'keeper, seemingly oblivious that he has the opportunity to utilise his hands in stopping the ball.
Similarly, your fellow pros on the pitch aren't too bright either. They'll refuse to make the obvious runs, neglect to mark the opponent in their area of the pitch, and simply try and make it as difficult as possible for you to score.
It's an odd situation for a series that always offered a decent single player experience, thanks to the (still included) Master League. All the options remain to really test your gaming metal long-term, but the AI you'll come up against is so random, awkward, and seemingly lacking in any real quality and skill that Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is essentially a multiplayer-only title.
Which makes the online problems all the more damning. Despite promises that this year we'd be back to the kind of smooth online experience the series enjoyed back on the original Xbox, lag still regularly ruins games and makes almost every online experience fraught with frustration.
One day we're sure that Konami will once again come up with the magic footballing formula, but once again we're left lacking a next generation Pro Evolution Soccer experience that anyone could recommend.
AI is universally poor, animation is sometimes laughable, and every facet of the entire game is at least a step behind the FIFA series. A real shame as this year had looked to be a tight call.

This was a horrible experience. Facility looked clean and quiet from the curb. Rooms were in major need of updating. Mold around tub. Only one set of stained towels and wash cloths in the room. I would not use them. The hotel charged me $7.00 more per person when I checked in and then would not give us extra towels for everyone in our room. Housekeeping walked into the room while we were getting ready. There was no deadbolt or chain on the door. I would not give this hotel any stars at all. Locals know the place as where many illegal things happen. I was not pleased with any part of my stay. I realize this hotel had a low star rating, but I expected clean and safe. We only need to get ready for a funeral and sleep. ...

It doesn't say it in the Blaze story, but in others it talked about how he walked part of the trip until he reached a bus line. It also said in other reports that he average very little sleep at night because of how long it took even with part of it on the bus. That was one of the reasons so many felt compelled to help him.

I'm thankful we live in a country where we can research & decide what is best for our families. At first I vaccinated my kids. Not because I researched but because that's just what you do. Then my nephew had a severe reaction & I stopped & started researching. I was very surprised. I wish I hadn't just blindly followed that the doctors & government must surely know what's best. My oldest two that are vaccinated get sick the most & for the longest. My youngest three, if they get sick, get over it quickly. To some that will be a fluke. For us & our doctor, it's proof that vaccines aren't all they were cracked up to be.
I do find it interesting the number of people that try to tell me that my research is just junk science & that the PhD's, MD's & researchers that find vaccines more dangerous & deadly then the diseases they were mean to protect against "idiots". Then I think about the criticism the scientist that claimed the earth was round & that the earth revolved around the sun received. It wasn't a suddenly everyone believed them sort of thing. Any time a scientist goes against the norm (think global cooling/global warming/climate change etc.) they are considered the junk scientist until enough evidence has been found on their side to counter the original or the current politically correct information. Because there are scientist/researchers/doctors that disagree with the current norm on vaccines, I am very thankful we still have the freedom to research and choose.

Ah, East, there are many towns in Michigan you can make fun of. We once lived in Ferrysburg before moving to Fruitport. Yes, lots of jokes were made. We now live near Gaylord. Michigan is also where you can go from Hell to Paradise and back again. Gaylord, however, is a really nice place that was named long before the meaning of the word "gay" was changed.
The big ticket festival is a wonderful outreach that I hope doesn't get a black eye from this. I wonder at the timing of the arrest too. It's been on the radio for weeks that he would be attending the festival which is about 4 hours north of where he lives. Why did they wait to arrest him until after he was already at this event? (Battle Creek is even further south than Grand Rapids.) Did they intentionally want to make sure news got out about a Christian doing horrible things? I don't know. I'm just speculating, and like others have said until he's proven guilty in a court of law, we don't really know anything for sure. I just thought it was interesting the timing of the arrest.

Thank you. My sentiments exactly. As someone who lives in the Northern Tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, it ticks me off every year to hear the overblown stories of winter. If this had happened in, say, New Mexico, yeah, it would be news worthy. It doesn't snow there. They've gotten snow in New York and Boston before. I bet they even get a snow storm and cold temps there every year. Big deal. We've gotten more snow this last December than we have in years. Last night it was a record low temp.of -16 degrees. That's not normal for us either, but we don't make the National News for it. Give me a break.

Thank you. We appreciate your prayers. And the Lord has been providing in so many ways. (I have to admit though, my faith slips a notch the longer the struggle drags on. However, I have to look for the blessings too. By not having tv, my kids have great imaginations and read a lot. They play outside a lot because they don't have electronic games. So there are some great blessing that come with the struggles of having no money.)
Just reading one bash after another about all the "lazy" people are on EBT. And how everyone on EBT has flat screen tv's and all when we have nothing of the sort just got under my skin. I agree that many people abuse it and so many other government programs. I just want people to remember that even though there are a lot of people that abuse it, there are just as many that wish they didn't need it but do because of so many lost jobs and job cut backs, particularly now that Obamacare looms.
October 12, 2013 at 9:55pm
I'm saddened by the number of people here that think this only hurts those too lazy to work. It hurts the disabled and the working poor also. My hubby and I work as hard as we can, and still just can't make ends meet. We're were already struggling over what to do thanks to Obamacare. We make too much according to the State to receive Medicaid, which was always fine with us. We didn't mind not being insured. But since the Feds want everyone on Medicaid to push for single payer, they say we make to little to qualify for subsidies. Now we have to come up with over $600 a month for insurance. We don't have cable/dish, we only have basic cell phones no texting (that we pay for ourselves), our kids don't have all the electronic gadgets. We pay for internet so I can pick up sub jobs. We've cut out all we can and still can't make ends meet. We are in an area where there aren't many jobs and even working hard we can't come up with enough to cover all the food we need to feed our family. We garden to cover some, but sadly we still have to rely on EBT. I had my weeks worth of groceries all wrung up before we found out that EBT was shutdown. I had already used all the money from the paychecks to pay bills. I have no cash left and no food for the week. Thank God for food pantries. However, I beg of all you who are slamming people who use EBT. Walk in our shoes first. Not all of us abuse it. We wish we didn't need it, but for a short time we do and this hurts our kids.

Thank you. I was getting a bit irritated at the comments about the parents over reacting. (That goes for the Blaze News too when they did this story for misfit stories and everyone blamed the parents for overreacting.) Sorry folks, you can't have it both ways. You can't blame parents for not being involved when kids bully other kids, fight, shoot someone, or do other stupid things and then blame the parents for the pilots foolishness when parents were clearly in the right to not want their kids to have to watch such an inappropriate movie. You cannot simply block out the movie that is being played and you can't get up and leave when it's on a plane. The airlines never should have had this movie on when there were minors on the plane. I'm proud of the parents for doing what was right for their kids. It teaches the kids to stand up for what is right also. My kids had an experience with an aunt that put in a movie they knew they weren't suppose to watch. The aunt said "what your parents don't know won't hurt you." They stood up and said, "No, we aren't going against our parents rules." Go along, to get along is what has brought the morality of our country so low.

Calm down folks. They aren't stopping production of the toy until 2014. It's been out since 2012. It's probably the normal end of the production cycle. They are just letting it look like they are caving in to get them off their backs. Most of these toys only have a short production run. Then they move on to a different toy under the "Star Wars" theme. This way it's a win, win situation. Lego gets to keep making money off the toy and end it at it's normal end cycle, (maybe even make a bit more money off the free publicity), and the people who are complaining get to claim they got them to stop making the "offensive" toy.

Thank you Silvertruth. I was beginning to think that there wasn't a single person on here that understood what the article was really about. That regardless of your race, religion, etc. that you can be seen by the content of you character and be successful in what you do. It's sad the amount of hate that is being shown now, instead. Why is it the others can't simply be happy that the USA is showing signs of overcoming it's past and moving forward into new light? We have the first black president. We have a ticket that contains a Mormon and a Catholic. It proves that we are now looking at the person and not their background. That is something to be excited about. And if you have had to endure some of the smears and the lies that others make about your life, you too would get emotional to know that someone else who has endured them is making a difference in the world. How many people cried happy tears when President Obama won the nomination and then the Presidency? They weren't mocked because of their joy. Why shouldn't others, who do still face name calling, etc. from those that believe the lies on the web, etc. be allowed feel joy over Romney's nomination without enduring hateful comments? Instead they continue to spew forth the hatred and only make themselves look bad in the process.

No offense, but I think you missed the point. He's not saying that you should be voting for Romney because of his faith. I think he's saying that it's more proof that our country, that Obama and the Democrats are continually touting as being racist, is showing once again that we are not. That they are more and more open to different people with different backgrounds.
And I'm sorry to say the persecution wasn't just in the early years of the church. It's not as blatant but it's still out there. I'm a member of the Community of Christ. (Formerly RLDS) We have a similar story as we were both founded by Joseph Smith Jr. My older brother and his wife were trying to pull their son out of the public school and enroll him in a private Christian school. They were told the couldn't enroll their son because they were Mormons and therefore not really Christians. Now, my brother could have gone through all the explanations of how the churches were different, etc. but decided it wasn't worth it as their attitude proved they weren't the school they wanted their son at anyway. My point. It's still out there. I've lived through some painful experiences because people thought I was a Mormon. I finally got to a point of not telling people what church I belonged to and just saying I am a Christian. It's a major positive that we are looking at the person and we can say "even a Mormon" can make it, because we see the person not the religion.
Thanks for the tip!

You can't expect to enjoy a rollercoaster if you have heart ailments or enjoy basking under the sun because of skin disease. Here are six tips on enhancing your health.

- Brush your teeth everyday. Good oral hygiene can help you fight dental problems. Poor oral hygiene can even give you heart disease.

Outstanding! I even made it with gluten free flour and the recipe still came out perfect.flag if inappropriate
Made this as a special request for my daughter for her birthday cake. She didn't want lemon so I just amped up the vanilla and skipped the glaze to instead serve it with liiiiightly sweetened whipped cream and sliced strawberries. I only had Bob's Red Mill polenta on hand so I whizzed it around in my mini-Cuisinart to make the cornmeal more fine. I wasn't hugely successful and was still concerned that it'd be too coarse. It wasn't. Next time I'll bake it longer (maybe 35-37 minutes) as the center was still a bit gluey. It was a lovely, frightfully easy-to-make cake that I'll happily make again. My daughter "mmmmm'd" at every single bite!flag if inappropriate
Pretty good basic lemon cake recipe. Blueberry sauce was good too but the cake was preferred to be eaten plain by family members. Might make it again.flag if inappropriate
This cake is not only outstanding but SO trivially easy. A one-bowl wonder, elegant, moist, and truly a crowd-pleaser. Even more surprising, it's just as good on Day Two. Didn't have lemon left over for the blueberry sauce, so substituted crystallized ginger. Just delicious!flag if inappropriate
Really wonderful! The only change I made was to substitute flaxseed meal and water as an egg replacer and the cake came out beautifully-- excellent texture, really moist, great lemony flavor.flag if inappropriate
This is a wonderful, easy and quick cake to make. It has a really nice texture and is very moist. I didn't make the sauce but it doesn't need any help. I pulled it out of the oven, put it on a plate, iced it, and was out the door in 5 minutes.flag if inappropriate
This was good. I liked the cornmeal etc and I didn't make the blueberry sauce so mine was more like a breakfast/coffee cake. It was good nonetheless just not something I'd write home about.flag if inappropriate
I was disappointed in this cake, especially after reading all the reviews. The texture was coarse, as expected, but the flavor was lacking. The glaze was way too thick, even after adding twice the lemon juuce called for in the recipe. My guess is that I "packed" the powdered sugar too much - but what is packed powdered sugar supposed to be? A weight would have been helpful.flag if inappropriate
Divine! I made this for a playgroup picnic where it was very much enjoyed by both moms and picky toddlers. I served it with freshly whipped cream insetead of the blueberry sauce, and garnished with fresh mint from my garden. I'll have to make another to accompany dinner, as my husband was looking forward to a slice and only crumbs were left.flag if inappropriate
Great recipe. I made the following substitutions and it still worked very well: Substituted 1/2 cup flour with whole wheat Substituted 1/4 cup butter with apple sauce Used brown sugar, and reduced quantity to about half a cup Added rind from 2 lemons Added 1/2 lemon juice to batter. Also added 1tsp poppy seeds.flag if inappropriate

"The General" is the sixth episode of the television series The Prisoner. The central themes of this episode are rote learning and indoctrination.
Plot summary[edit]
Number 6 — along with the rest of the Village population — is subjected to a new mind-altering education technology called "Speed Learn" which can instill a three-year university level course in history over a television screen in just three minutes. It was invented and is "taught" by an avuncular individual known as "The Professor" who is nevertheless seen trying to escape from the Village along the beach at the episode outset. Number 6 finds a tape recorder on the beach which he hides in the sand, and witnesses the professor being recaptured, who then proceeds with the education program which instills a detailed, but fairly sterile, set of data on "European history since Napoleon" into all Village residents' minds. Speed Learn is also apparently supported by someone known as "The General". Number 2 tries to find the tape recorder which he thinks Number 6 has but doesn't; he then quizzes Number 6 on the lecture and Number 6 surprisingly answers them correctly as he had no knowledge of them before. After Number 2 leaves, Number 6 goes back to the beach to find the tape recorder, only to find that Number 12 has it and agrees to help Number 6. On the tape the professor states that speed learn is an abomination, and slavery, and that The General must be destroyed.
Number 6 realizes that Speed Learn could eventually be used for mind control. Number 12 assists him by giving Number 6 a set of passes and a pen that will play a message about the professor's confession. Before the next lesson is to be broadcast, Number 6 infiltrates the projection room and installs his own message. He is detected and thwarted in this attempt. The real message is broadcast, as Number 6 is interrogated, Number 2 claims that the General will know. "The General" is revealed to be a sophisticated, experimental mainframe computer which has purportedly been programmed to be able to answer any question put to it. As Number 2 is about to ask who assisted Number 6, Number 6 says that there is a question that the General cannot answer. Number 2 arrogantly accepts the challenge; when Number 6 feed his brief question into the General, the computer begins to smoke out of sheer consternation, overloads and self-destructs, killing the Professor and Number 12 in the process. A distraught Number 2 asks Number 6 what the question was. The General, and Number 2's plans, were destroyed by a simple, logical epistemological trick...
- 'The General' is first mentioned by Number 2 in the episode "The Schizoid Man". That episode also featured another Villager with the number 12, in this case Number 6's doppelgänger. As the Number 12 in "The General" clearly states to Number 2 he has been in the Village "a long time", this potentially gives rise to questions of episode order and continuity.
- The twist ending is similar to the The Twilight Zone episode "The Old Man in the Cave" (1963).
- Entering the Village broadcast studios required a token to be inserted into a Thing money box. This was a toy bank from which a "Thing" hand emerged to snatch coins which were placed in a slot at the front. This item was reportedly[citation needed] included at the request of Patrick McGoohan.
Chris Gregory believes the episode to be "memorable" and highly melodramatic". He describes the ending as "[fitting in] well with the subtext of the series", but also say "the revelation that 'The General is a powerful computer is a stock science fiction device."[1] Alain Carrazé and Hélène Oswald compare the ending of the episode to the story of David and Goliath.[2] The fact that the Prisoner defeats the General with a single word is like David killing Goliath with a sling.[2] They describe the music used during scene involving the Prisoner, Number 2 and the Professor's wife as "one of the strangest musical themes in the series".[3]

With the advent of the printing press throughout Europe in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, the key Latin texts of Italian humanism began to be published outside Italy, most of them by a small group of printers who, in most cases, worked in close collaboration with lecturers and teachers. This study provides the first comprehensive account of the dissemination of this important literary corpus in Spain, France, the Low Countries and the German-speaking world between ca. 1470 and ca. 1540. By combining an examination of book production and consumption with attention to the educational system of Renaissance Europe, this book highlights both the historical significance of the Latin literature of Italian humanism within the school and university curriculum of the time, and the impact of such a body of texts on the rising national literary traditions, in Latin and in the vernacular, of the period. Printing and reading Italian Latin Humanism in Renaissance Europe will appeal to scholars of classical and Renaissance literature, and to anyone interested in intellectual history and in the history of education in the Renaissance. It will be of particular interest to scholars in Hispanic studies.

Went In The Grocery Store For One Item, But….
As my work day came to an end, my beautiful wife sent me a text to pick up a few bell peppers from the grocery store on my way home. I asked how many she needed and I was on my way. Simple grocery store trip, in and out. I am not a fan of shopping in any grocery store, especially the one near our home. It takes the longest time to get through the checkout line. I can get in, pick up a whole week's worth of groceries and it will still take longer to checkout then it does to pick up all of the items. It is frustrating.
As I entered the grocery store, I was a simple mission to pick up some bell peppers. Check a few and see if they are ripe, yep! Check the price, yep! Stuff them in the bag, yep! Wait, wait a minute. What is that…..
Stomach, are you talking to me? You want what to snack on? Ok, let me try and find it…..
DANG IT! My stomach started talking to me and wanted me to walk through the store and find some tasty things in order to have a nice snack later in the night. My simple one item shopping trip ended with me purchasing about 12 items and all of them were unnecessary. There goes the grocery budget for the week.
The funny thing is that I didn't buy things that were crazy. I bought sour cream for the meal to go with the peppers, string cheese (a family favorite), peanut butter, celery, peanuts, and popcorn kernels. I mean, it is really not a bad "splurge" food purchase. The last time this happened to me I had purchased all junk food. Whoops!
Why does this happen?
This just goes to show that you should never go grocery shopping when you are hungry. Nothing good can come from it. No matter what time of day, if you are hungry, you WILL spend more at the grocery store. I had a list of just one item, just one, and I still overspent on the trip. I should have spent $3.50, but ended up over $20. Oops.
When your stomach takes over your rational mind, you will always lose out. You will spend more money in the grocery store, order more in a restaurant, or stop over to your favorite fast food restaurant to get a quick bite to eat.
I would say that I have learned my lesson, but I have done this more than I want to admit. I know it is bad, but I don't have food in my car. I can't eat on the way to the grocery store, but I will have to work on my timing. Life happens and I just have to eat a piece of it before I go into the grocery store ;).

Haha so true! I always spend more at the grocery store when I'm hungry.
I hate when this happens! Our closest grocery store is within walking distance, though we tend to drive for some reason. Anyway, it never fails that if one of us goes to get something when the other is making dinner that we always walk away with more…especially if one of the kids is with us.
This happens to me pretty much every time. I always try and grab a basket instead of a cart so that I REALLY think about what I'm buying and whether I want to hold it.
You bought some peanuts? Keep them in your car from now on. When you know you're hungry (especially when you're going to the grocery store) snack on them a little. Curbing you hunger, as you said is super important to keeping your grocery bill low. I'm pretty bad with ice cream, no matter how much food I've eaten before going into the store haha.
I'm far more likely to get a chocolate bar at the checkout if i'm hungry
Don't feel too bad, it happens to the best of us 😉
P.S. I'm 29 years old but I still LOVE string cheese hehe!
I agree Grayson going to the grocery store hungry is a bad idea. I would also add that bringing kids along is also a bad idea because every time we go the kids will ask if they can have this or that and somehow they always seem to win that battle.
It doesn't even matter if I'm hungry, I will still buy more than one thing if I go to the store. I am trying really hard not to go at all unless it is a planned shopping trip. If I only had a cow to provide milk that would work almost all the time!
I used to go walking to the supermarket and that limited what I could carry back home. The empty stomach is tricky. My BF is shameless and usually eats grapes while he shops, although I don't think it prevents him from buying stuff we don't need
That happens to me almost every time! I try to have a list…it works sometimes =)
Grayson, I couldn't help but chuckle when I read this post. I had to start going to the grocery after work(usually around 3 a.m.) to avoid buying way more than I needed. During normal hours the local grocery is so full I would stop comparison shopping, grab the first thing I saw, just to get out of the crowd.
LOL, we have all been there! I think it is mathmatecially impossible to buy just one thing at the store when hungry
You are not alone! There have certainly been times when one or four items got added to my cart because I was hungry too. They make it too easy!!
Yup never go grocery shopping hungry, it's the worst!
I'm guilty of this when I only need one or two things. If I'm shopping with a list of five or more items, I don't seem to deviate as much. Not sure why that is — maybe psychologically I need to buy more than one item to justify a trip to the store!? If I shop when I'm hungry, it's game over. Nutella always ends up in my basket. I prefer hand baskets but the store I frequent suddenly doesn't offer them anymore — what's up with that??
One time in college my roommate and I went grocery shopping hungry. We bought so much food! Basically everything we saw sounded and looked good so we threw it in the cart. Surprisingly, the bill didn't deter us. We didn't realize what we did until we had to take multiple trips back to the car to get all of the bags! Never again.
Oh man hubby and I have been so bad for this! I ALWAYS eat before going to the grocery store, It's a huge budget (and waistline) saver!
That sounds like a trip to Wal-Mart for me. Go in for a loaf of bread and spend $60. That's gotten a lot better since my wife started the coupon project. Now we pretty much shop with "intent"
I don't get get a basket or cart when I am only going in for one or two things. If my hands are full then I have to stop shopping.
If I am hungry then I am usually tired as well and tempted to get a cart so I don't have to carry the bag of milk. That is when I get in trouble.
I do this too often. I wait until there isn't any good food left in the house before I decide to make a trip to the grocery store. I am hungry by this point and way overspend. The good thing though is I make sure all the usual food is gone before making the trip back to the store so it usually evens out. I rarely make a trip just to grab a couple things.
This is something that I am definitely guilty of. I'll stop at a store on the way home from work to pick up something for lunch and…what's that candy. Sure I'll eat a candy bar on the way home. Oh wait ice cream, that sounds good too.
Grayson, this is so easy to do, isn't it? When I went back over our 2012 spending I learned that we spent an average of $300 a month doing this!!!! No wonder we were (are) in debt up to our eyeballs! Great post!
Ahh…this is totally me. Every single time I go by the cheese counter, I succumb. I'm hopeless in a grocery store–usually I'm paying for empty bags/bottles at checkout because I've already consumed their contents.
I think that I do ok when I go to the store hungry. Sometimes I think I let my hunger dictate as to what may be for dinner but I typically stick to my list. Where I run into problems is when I see specials going on for items we use. I may go in with a list for $20 worth of groceries and come out with $40. But most times that additional $20 this trip will save us a few dollars over the next several.
Grayson, I used to be SO guilty of this. Too funny. I've recently taken on a new strategy: our closest Harris Teeter has an Express Lane. I've been ordering all of the groceries online, and then simply driving through and picking them up. You'd be amazed how much you can save this way, even while paying the $5 pickup fee. I'll be doing a post on this soon.
bf can be pretty bad about impulse spending. I typically have a snack in my purse that I offer him, but it's never what he wants and then we end up with a weird impulse purchase. I've come to expect this though, and just tell him to buy whatever the one thing is that he wants and we call it even.

The holidays are right around the corner! Your family members and friends might be coming together very soon. If you are the host this season, then you might probably stay confused with the holiday destination and transport. A lot of people around might also talk about the pros and cons of caravan holidays. In fact, the stereotype exists that a caravan site attracts only a particular group. But, as the saying goes "the dogs bark but the caravan moves on", you need not have a second opinion on caravanning. The caravan holidays are at it's best especially if weather is playing its game and its easy to find cheap caravan holidays in Cornwall and other popular UK destinations.
The caravans are simply a home away from home. The camping and caravanning club says that almost half a million caravans go for camping every year and most of the experiences are good. You can recharge your batteries at the great outdoors in your own caravan or a rented one. These are some of the spaces where you can enjoy your caravan holiday:
- Caravan parks: These are also known as recreational vehicle park (RV park) where you will be allowed to place the caravans you own. You can stay overnight or till a few week in the site that are allotted by the providers.Some of theparks can be perfect choice for a family holiday with kids and pets.Especially, the Haven holiday park is dog-friendly, that allows two dogs per caravan.
- Resorts: The resorts have complete facilities and entertainment, so both kids and pets enjoy the holidays. While the indoor and outdoor pools manage to entertain the kids, pets will love their exploration in the beautiful countryside. There are a various other facilities in resorts like drinking water connection, sewer connection, wi-fi hotspots, DVD player and also AC power connection.
- Camp site: They are also referred as the campgrounds which have facilities for tent camping. There are over hundred campsite in the United Kingdom. You can stay in any camp site until weather turns out unfavorable or in a less perfect mood. Caravan tours can be best when it's chucking down and you have to stay most of the time indoors.
Most of these spots are found to be clean and kept tidy. The floors, furniture, carpet and kitchenware shall be away from dirt,so you do not feel the need to clean them again before using. Great Caravan Holidays say that the accommodation choices are plenty to ensure your stay will be enjoyable. These locations offer a unique mix of facilities and entertainment, so it is perfect choice for you and your family to have a great holiday in UK. Your experience will not just be good but great when you have a right company and have chosen a right holiday space.
The caravan holiday is a real holiday at home and not somewhere outside we live for few weeks. It is not much of a difference away from home.You can have complete freedom by riding away somewhere for a few days in caravan. It is ideal to move in caravan, than to stay in someone else cottage.Even for the couples, caravan is a good option since you can have all the time in the world for each other in a private space. So caravan is all about just partying and enjoying the great and adventurous outdoors.

"It's okay"
This book is pretty typical for the author. Just about the entertainment level I was looking for. However, I am EXTREMELY, frustrated by the narrator's mispronunciation of Edisto...it is the name of real river and an island in SC. I don't understand why the narrator was not corrected on this. It is pronounced ED ist o (emphasis on first syllable). This was just a distraction for me throughout the book. I've experienced this with other regional books too. Don't understand why the authors don't review it.
Another can put it down novel by Dorothea Benton frank . It's dripping with the lowcountry SC charm and grace !

MCLEAN, Va., July 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the first time in its history, the French National Commission for Data Protection and the Liberties (CNIL) has granted approval to a private testing company -- the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) -- to collect biometric data as part of its efforts to ensure the highest level of security for the GMAT exam. No other private examination has obtained this permission.
GMAC is the international organization of business schools that owns and administers the GMAT exam, used by almost 2,000 business schools worldwide as part of the admission process. In consideration of the guarantees taken by GMAT to protect privacy, the CNIL authorized GMAC's use of the new PalmSecure biometric device to authenticate the identity of individuals taking the GMAT. In the near future, data collected from this device will be used to match candidate information across a central database that includes biometric data from individuals sitting for the exam at other test centres around the world.
The GMAT exam is currently the only examination that utilizes the new PalmSecure palm vein identification technology. PalmSecure features a near-infrared light that captures a palm vein pattern, generating a unique encrypted biometric template that is matched against the pre-registered candidate's palm vein pattern, thus ensuring the test taker is that candidate. It offers a highly reliable form of authentication because it utilizes no trace technology, no image is ever stored, and the data cannot be read by other devices. The CNIL noted in its approval, "It is not likely to be captured without the knowledge of the person concerned and therefore presents very little risk for the civil liberties and fundamental rights of the individuals."
"We want to express our appreciation to the CNIL for reinforcing, in its decision, our commitment to leadership in protecting personal data and com

There's been a lot of talk lately about a war on women. Much of this has been devised by the Obama administration and its cronies in order to divert our attention from their unprecedented and illegal attack on our Constitution's guarantees of religious liberty. At its core is the old leftist canard that says if people won't be taxed to pay for your goods and services, they are somehow denying you access to those goods and services. It's low and dishonest garbage and the people who promulgate it should be kicked first out of office and then downstairs.
But this weekend, one of the Wall Street Journal's better columnists, Peggy Noonan, while largely agreeing with the above, opined that there really is a war against women nonetheless. By this she means the rather frequent use of sexual slurs, mostly by leftist men but sometimes by men on the right as well, to denigrate women in high-profile positions. "The words used are vulgar," Noonan says, "and are meant to tear down and embarrass."
I enjoy Noonan's column a lot, but I can't agree with her here. It seems to me, in fact, that there has been an ongoing and wickedly offhanded war against men for the past forty years at least. It's not just the outright insults that have been permissible in respectable outlets: i.e., calling men collectively and individually "pigs." The war has been waged in far more subtle and disgraceful ways as well.
Consider the common phrase "he objectifies women," which casually belittles and denigrates men's sexual yearnings. Or think of the almost universal depiction of fathers and husbands in movies, television shows, and advertisements as weaklings and fools under their wife-mommy's control. Imagine the knowing laughter that would follow if I were to remark that "women are smarter than men," then imagine the furious outbursts that would result if I said, "men are smarter than women." The war is waged not only in what is said and shown, but in what is not said, what is considered off-limits.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew
- Filed Under
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew sent Congress another warning on the nation's debt limit Tuesday, saying he's now done everything he can do to avoid borrowing money to keep under the $16.7 trillion ceiling.
The deadline when the Treasury says it will run out of borrowed money remains Oct. 17, Lew said -- although that could change if the partial government shutdown that began Tuesday drags on. In a letter to congressional leaders, he urged Congress to increase the limit, but did not recommend a new level.
Since May, Lew has undertaken a number of actions, known as "extraordinary measures," to ...

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Nataraj - Osaka
by lemurcat
Review: Actually, I noticed the macrobiotic set dessert seems to contain honey so technically there is no set that is completely vegan, and no truly vegan dessert option. It seems that 3 out of 4 curries and both salad dressings in the curry buffet are vegan though. The bread probably has butter or ghee on it unless you request it otherwise (they always ask when I order the macrobiotic set). I am not a huge fan of curry, but I find Nataraj's to be very delicious. Also spicy, but not overwhelmingly so.
Posted by lemurcat on Wednesday, September 9, 2009
Now the lunch buffet is back, and cheaper. But the pakoras are gone and it seems that two of four curries contain dairy.
Posted by lemurcat on Friday, February 22, 2013
They have stopped having the buffet at lunch, but now I can get a curry set AND soymilk tapioca for about the same price. It's about what I would get at the buffet but with more rice and less curry. As of right now, curry sets A, B, C, D, and G are vegan if you choose rice (and not nan bread). The lunch menu still isn't helpfully marked like the dinner menu, but if you can read Japanese the milk-containing curries say "milk" or "creamy" in the description.
Posted by lemurcat on Friday, February 22, 2013
The vegan-friendliness of the buffet varies widely. It could be all vegan curries (meaning everything but the nan bread is vegan) or only half vegan curries and not well-labeled, depending on the day. (The dinner menu is clearly labeled but also costs a lot more, and the sets aren't very vegan-friendly. The amount of food I get for 1000 yen at lunch costs me 2500 yen or so at dinner.)

Valid values are: None (web methods are never logged) Normal (log everything, except certain high-frequency web methods) All (log everything, even certain high-frequency web methods) OnError (only log web methods that have errors)
Values specified here take precedence over values set administratively via web method. --> <add key="commandLogging" value="None"/>
Change None to Normal or All and web method activity will now be recorded.
I'll go into the details of how we collect and record the data if enough people are interested. Note that the data is spooled for a short while before it's written to the database.
The database (for now, it's will be renamed) is called VSTEAMSCCAdmin. There are some historical reasons for including SCC in the name; it'll be called TFSActivityLogging in the shipping product.
There are two tables in this database: one records information about each web method and the other contains parameter information for each web method.
A simple query that shows web method activity plus the parameters (SOAP parameters) is (note: the LEFT join is necessary since there may not be values from the parameter table for each command):
select *from tbl_command (nolock) cleft join tbl_parameter (nolock) pon c.commandid = p.commandid
select *from tbl_command (nolock) cleft join tbl_parameter (nolock) pon c.commandid = p.commandid
The command table contains information about the web method itself and includes:
The parameter table is pretty straight forward -- note that parameters are conditionally reported.
