You heard me, Saturday night I lost my strip club virginity. I was back in Wisconsin for a bachelorette party and we visited the Airport Lounge's male revue - rockin' the airport from 9:30 p.m. to midnight every Saturday. Unfortunately, because of my cringe-inducing Thursday-night events, I was not drinking (but did have two sips of a shot before my stomach started kicking me around again) so I h

Do you have any sort of section devoted to religion in your local paper? My local paper has one called "Faith and Values" that appears every Saturday. As might be expected from my location (Mississippi), this is exclusively Christian. Moreover, it clearly promotes Christianity in the community. Many newspapers do something like this, and some occasionally print op-ed articles written by atheists in this section. Not surprisingly, this infuriates some Christians.My local paper does not include material written by atheists in this section but has printed some op-ed articles written by a local atheist in the Opinion section. These have, of course, generated some lively discussion on the paper's Internet forums. Most of the discussion is civil, but there is sometimes a sense that local Christi

The Writer just wrote about spoiled expatriates, "those who come from developed country and get a job in developing country and live like a king/queen". With salary which is unbelievably higher than a local standard - mostly due to ridiculous exchange rates and tax regulations - and lots of allowances, they soon embrace a lavish lifestyle with maids, gardeners, security guards, and so on. I couldn't deny that many expats are living like that. Being expats means they have to sacrifice many things: their life back home, their friends and family, their comfortable surrounding, to go to a foreign place thousands miles away from home with different customs, food, culture, temperature, and work attitudes. Many of them are reluctant to be posted overseas, especially if they have children to thin

The 7 digits consist, 3 digits the Indonesian code that release by the Bank of Indonesia (BI), and 4 digits of your bank's code. For BCA, the format is: 3 digits of BI code (014) plus 4 digits of the code of the branch bank.I opened account in BCA Cabang Siliwangi Semarang. The code is 0246 (could be found in the BCA site).

Ok, loads of spin and mud-slinging to follow, but ahead of the usual soundbites what do you want to see the by-election candidates promise the people of Crewe and Nantwich? The town centre redevelopment fiasco to be resolved (and quick), the train station to be retained in Crewe, the park to get revamped asap, the West End (Derby Docks, above) regeneration to start rather than sitting on a planner's lappy for years, or maybe the swimming baths situation clarified - and before it's sneaked over to MMU? These are proper local issues. Or would you rather hear about tax, employment and crime - the usual suspects in national contests... thoughts?

On the back of last Thursday's Cheshire East elections we thought we'd see what two of the local political figures had to say. Simple as that. Their thoughts......Brian Silvester, leader of the Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council and soon-to-be Mayor, was to the point: "We are delighted with our six gains (4 from Labour) in Crewe and Nantwich. We now have fifteen seats on the new Council from Crewe and Nantwich, compared to Labour, who have just six. The Leader and the Deputy Leader of the Labour Group both failed to be elected to the new Council. Cheshire East will have a Conservative majority of 37. May 1st turned out to be a May Day massacre for the Labour Party." .Steve Hogben, leader of the Crewe and Nantwich Labour party, had this to say: "Despite Tory gloating, Labour is still the bi

A quick read of the report on my most recent meal at Talula’s Table will reveal the wealth of early spring produce that was already breaking ground nearly a month ago here in the Philadelphia area.

Mid-season 2007 at the Headhouse Farmers Market.Given the population density from which to draw and the diversity of its participating vendors, the Headhouse Farmers Market has already found its critical mass.

In what the British press is calling a "bloodbath" for Gordon Brown's Labour Party, local election results are spelling out some bad news. Labour — with Brown leading them into elections for the first time since taking office last year — was set to finish third behind opposition Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, according to near-complete results. The ruling party could face further humiliation in the closely-fought London mayoral race, which pitched the current mayor, Labour's Ken Livingstone, against the Conservatives' maverick Boris Johnson. "It's clear to me that this has been a disappointing night, indeed a bad night for Labour," Brown told reporters, linking Labour's performance to the effects of the global credit crunch. "We have lessons to learn from that and then we

LONDON: Britain's main opposition party made strong gains in local elections in England and Wales as results were tallied Friday, piling pressure on Prime Minister Gordon Brown's struggling Labour Party government which faces a national election within two years.The British Broadcasting Corp. projected that the resurgent Conservative Party would take 44 percent of the vote, putting it 20 points ahead of Labour. Brown's party was running neck-and-neck with the Liberal Democrats, the country's third-largest party.Partial results on Friday from 99 local councils showed the Conservatives gaining 144 seats while Labour lost 145. The Liberal Democrats gained 10."I think these results are not just a vote against Gordon Brown and his government," Conservative leader David Cameron said Friday. "I t

Most studies show that a vast majority (something like 60%+) of all searches have what is called "local intent".  This means that sometimes the searcher adds a local geographical indicator (e.g. "seo company portsmouth").  But sometimes they search with local intent without being specific about geography - e.g. it is likely that a search for "dentist" has local intent even without being specific about location. The problem however is that the information that forms the foundation for local content searches is spread across a number of unrelated sources such as yellow pages, newspapers, local review sites, local directories and of course, search engines.  Additionally, the information in a lot of these sources is either incomplete or out of date

Blog reader Maggie mailed us last week asking if we could clarify a few things about this Thursday's Cheshire East elections. Here's what we know... ..The new Cheshire East council will take over all local government services from CNBC from 1st April 2009. A shadow council will be formed based upon this Thursday's vote so that the elected councillors can plan for 2009 and beyond. Basically, they will liaise with existing authorities to ensure that continuity of the delivery of public services is possible from 01 April '09. Remember, the current 2008-09 budgets were decided by the various borough councils that will eventually merge..There will be no local elections for current CNBC councillors over the next year. It would be a waste of time as they would have no say in the subsequent year's
