Three of us went early and were all disappointed with bo the quality and the choice and presentation of the food we got. A starter of Pate was two slices of pate some salad and bread, totally tasteless and pate looked a bit grey. Crab cakes were bland and expensive for what was served. Mains consisted of beef with mash, small helping and very ordinary, Plaice fillets with herbs in batter were soggy instead of crispy with a green herb sprinkled on top, most of it was left on the plate. I had the belly of pork which was mainly fat very little meat and certainly not crispy. Quite a disappointing evening and bad value for what we got. The pate presentation was terrible and showed a complete lack of interest by the chef. One of us had the early bird but it certainly is not an interesting Menu. This used to be a good place to go and had a good local following which is dropping , I am not surprised. It needs a more interesting menu and a more interested chef.
Two of us went last night on a voucher, great value. Food was very interesting in both the presentation and selection, a cut above most other restaurants.It was a bit quiet but I do not expect it to remain that way. A great find , nicely laid out and very efficient and friendly staff.
two of us went for an early meal, food was not good and Charcouterie Plate was like one I have never seen before and hope never to see again. We complained and the Chef came out and was very rude to us and told us we did not know what Charcouterie was. We paid the full bill and left, never to return. We also thought the wine was priced as in Celtic Tiger times.
Two of us went early , around 6.15, busy place .Got starters of Small anti pasta and bruschetta with three different flavoured tomatoes, both large helpings and very nice..Vongole and chicken Milanese as mains , again large helpings and both excellent.Wine is good value and a nice selection. Overall very pleased with this restaurant , next time will order less and maybe get a pizza, which looked very nice.
Four of us went in around 7 P.M, nice table and pleasant greeting from staff.Starters were fine , normal stuff nothing exceptional.Mains for two arrived , after 15 minutes third mains arrived then mine after another 10 minutes and quite a few requests from me as to whats happening. This ruined the evening , never mind the meal and to top it all , no allowances were made on the bill. Will not be back.
Two of us went last night, quiet at first then got quite busy. Good to hear staff speaking Italian in an Italian restaurant?Good food with good service and reasonable wine prices, will be back soon .
Two of us went with the vouchers, excellent meal and a very nice selection of tasting plates. I had the wine that went with the tasting( Euro 35) but on return will pick my own. Bought two more vouchers and looking forward to returning.
Very impressed with the Tapas selection and the quality of the food. Two of us went with a voucher around 7 p.m, already quite a few people there. Nice pints of Guiness and good selection of wines by the glass also and at reasonable prices. Staff were very helpful in explaining the various Tapas and also efficent. Looking forward to a return visit.
A few of us went here, two of the party had steak and chips which were fine. I had the house special which was Mussels in sauce and chips, very small mussels ,no plump ones hanging around here , quite tasteless. I also had a crab mix starter which was also tasteless. The place was full so maybe I was just unlucky?
New restaurant in a very old building ,restored in a very understanding manner, beautiful wooden floor and traditional bar, all in all, very tasteful. Food was excellent , three of us went and really enjoyed it. Not a big menu but all the courses looked great and tasted even better than they looked. Great experience and we will be back after Christmas.
Booked through Menu pages and asked for downstairs seating, the three of us were seated upstairs ( would suit better the reception girl said to the waiter , not to us). Seated in a far corner of the restaurant beside a storeroom door which was in use. Seats were hard and had a low metal back rail which hit the middle of your back, could not lean back or relax, very uncomfortable. Went to pick up menu and noticed the table was all sticky , not having been cleaned in the proper manner, the table ajoining was in the same state. We proceeded to clean the table with some wipes we had , the waiter did not make any comment. Now the food? I had Ham hock which was bits of ham in some kind of broth with potatoes and veg in it, totally forgettable , I also had a salad which had mixed lettuce , purple potatoes and other bits, did not like.Partner had pulled pork which not only looked a mess but tasted as it looked.Friend had fish which was fine. Glass of white wine ( Tinpot, N,Z) normally 7 E to 7.50 E was 11E so partner had a cheaper white which was rubbish. I had two small beers and we had a bottle of the cask wine which they bottle themselves, just o.k. The wines are served in the same type of glasses as the water , not proper wine glasses and it certainly effects the taste. So we did not enjoy the night and will not be back but I am nervous that while things are getting better, some places are letting the whole business down with their slipshod ways.
Was there early around 6, have not been there for a while. Was offered the early bird which is six tapas dishes each (two of us) and a large water for 17 E each. Food was excellent, varied and tasty and more than enough for each of us. Staff were good and very attentive but not in your face, good to see the standards are been maintained, very enjoyable. Will not leave a long gap like before to revisit.
Excellent meal, enjoyed by both of us and great value for what we got. Portions are not to small nor to big, just right. Nice place , friendly staff, wine at fair prices and as an added bonus ,pints of Carlsberg ( I had two) which tasted great.
Four of us went and were offered the tasting menu as an alternative . Delighted we went for it, great success with us all.We had about six courses , not big helpings but very well crafted and at a good price. Great selection of wine at good prices, we had two bottles . Good crowd there and good atmosphere, very attentive and pleasant staff which always adds so much to a night out. We will be back and may try a late lunch , looks goog.
ten of us went for a celebration dinner and we were all impressed with the food, choice and the staff. We went for the early bird meal for two at 65 euro which includes a bottle of wine( nice wine). I cannot figure out why I have not been here before but certainly will be again and soon. Great value for the really good food , very enjoyable.
Four of us went and all were delighted with the meal and the restaurant. Excellent staff and a warm greeting on the way in. Wine selection is very good and costs from 30 Euro upwards. Great selection of nibbles to start , very tasty, we all had the three course meal which costs around 62 Euro. I thought it would be an expensive night and it was but worth it, probably one of the best meals any of us have eaten. We were there for just under four hours and it seemed like two, that's a sign of a good night. Would recommend it for the great food and the staff .
Dining room could be made a bit less hotel dining room like , maybe section it a bit and make it more intimate. Otherwise the food was excellent and to quite a high standard and very good restaurent staff. We reallt enjoyed it and will be back.
Two of us went for a late lunch, shared a mezze starter which was excellent, I then had green curry, partner had the lamb burger, both very enjoyable but the mezze was the star. Great staff, friendly and efficent also great value. Great local restaurent , I am becoming a reguler.
Seven of us went after initally booking for two, staff very helpful and got a nice table. I had brushetta with tuna,.excellent and for mains tagletelle with ossabucca, big plate but delicious. Everybody enjoyed their meals and some very nice and reasonable wine and presseco.Finished off with deserts and coffees, grand, I had expresso( single) excellent. The food is full of flavours and with a reasonable price and very good service its hard to beat, I will have to become a regular.
Two of us tried here again and were disappointed with the food. Had Brushetta and Pate to start, Brushetta was good , Pate was two slabs with a bit of lettuce , no attempt at presentation and quite unappealing. Shared the Med. Platter and again totally lacking in taste and the olives were dry, parma ham thick slices and rubbery, cheese had no taste even though there were a few different cheeses. This was a nice place and the meat and cheese platters were very good but now its just not good maybe they have become complacent. Anyway, I wont be back until they get their act back together.
Excellent place to go, portions are not large but are very inventive and tasty and good value .Great to see a new place opening in hard times with a very well trained and attentive staff, this ups the game for a lot of other places, which is good. We (2) had seven tapas between us , all very nice and well presented, also three desert dishs. Expresso is very good and the choice of wines very interesting . Four sizes of wine, taster glass, glass, carafe and bottle and good prices, I particulary liked the wine from Portugal( red). Upstairs a nice bar and nice pints and cocktails. We liked it so much we have been back twice and are looking forward to going again. You are not going to get a big meal here but for tasty tapas in a nice place it will be hard to beat.
This place has improved a lot and I ( we) have been there quite a few times over the last few months as have our friends. its about time the menu was changed as people get bored . Perhaps the lunch menu could also be available at night as it looks quite interesting and would suit people who just wanted a snack and wine?
Two of us went last night, it was busy so had to wait a while, good sign? I had the French and Irish Platter and partner had the small Med. Platter , both looked fine but lacked any real taste, kind of bland. Tapas menu looks good so maybe we will try that next time. Must be time to change the main menu, been the same pasta dishs for a few years.
Have been here a few times and it remains very consistant in both the quality and value of the Tapas. also very friendly and helpful staff. I see the main man from the start up is leaving to go to St. Martins in the Caribbean(lucky man) he will be missed.
Two of went there early evening and were quite impressed. I had Italian salad to start and then a spaghetti dish, all done very well, partner had the pate starter which both looked and tasted great. I have been here before but usually only for a coffee. Great value in the early bird and portions are quite large, good selection of wine also. Great to have a good local place with friendly and efficent staff. Looking forward to a return visit.
Went with Menu Pages voucher and was very impressed with both the friendly staff and the food. I had the twice roasted duck which was great and my wife had the Chefs special which was Sea Bass in their special sauce, excellent. Nice place and can see why they are still here after 20 years, we will be back.
Two of us in there this morning, good coffee , friendly staff and two very good scones, I shall make it a regular haunt.
Went there about six in the evening, two kids and two adults. Very busy and put name down , waited fot half an hour. Got seated, pleasent staff and very busy, all ages. Both adult meals not good, Chicken Goujons tasteless as was my B/B Chicken just a lump of meat. Chips seemed to be the frozen variety but kids meals seemed fine. Did not bother with adult deserts prefer to remember the glorious Choclate Fudge Cake the way it was a few years ago. We would be reluctant to go back there.
Three of had a great meal here at a very reasonable price. Antipasta and Bruschetta to share as starters, not huge helpings but very tasty. We then had a Chicken dish with Parma ham, nothing left on plate, speaks for itself. Pasta dish also and again plate cleared. I had a Pork cutlet in a kind of Broth and veg. which included potatoes, sounds strange but delicious. Rather like a mixture of Chinese and Italian, I really enjoyed it. Deserts and coffee and tea were fine especially the Trio of ice cream, rather a nice sauce on it. Wine is reasonable and we had both white and red. They have a gentleman playing music and singing, a mixture of traditional and jazz, very nice and relaxing, really suited the place. So its a new place and I feel sure it will go on from here and continue to please , we will be back.
I posted a few days ago about my visit here on the 31/10/2011, I waited on posting, so as I could go and try Carluccios again. Four of us went and I ordered the same meal. Antipasta to share between two and Vongole for me. Antipasta was fine as was the wine. My vongole arrived, tasteless and bland but to my dismay and worry, after a few uninspiring mouthfulls, I came acropss clams with the shells not open. First of all the clams I tried were small and tough, no taste. I counted six clams with closed shells. I complained and the manageress allowed both the Vongole and a bottle of wine to compensate , she was also upset by this. What kind of chefs(?) work here that would allow this meal to go out? It is very bad for business.If the chefs(?) cannot cook this dish it should not be on the menu.
Wife and I went last night, what a pleasure. From the moment we were greeted at the door like old friends( only there once before) we both felt pampered , they do it good.Very busy but staff well able to cope , like a well run machine. We had the four course meal with both red and white glasses of wine to go with same.I had Ravioli starter and wife had soup, both excellent then tuna for me and lagoustine for wife, excellent . Mains were duck and lamb, great taste to both. The deserts were very good, as was the expresso. I tried to book a Saturday night and was told they were booked until after Christmas, I now understand why. We will be back soon , nice to have it to look forward to.I reckon its worth every penny and other restaurents should go and look and learn.
TWO OF US WENT FOR A PRE THEATRE MEAL ON A VOUCHER. We were the only ones there at 6.30 and still by ourselves when we left at 8.00. It was not a good experience, we both had lobster salad to start, it was tough. I had lamb cassoulat and partner had fish, both lacked taste. Sweets were o.k and had a few glasses of wine , red wine was 8.75 which is expensive in my view. Expensive place and quality does not come anywhere near the prices charged. Finally the bill had three main courses charged( was sorted out) as we were the only ones there , thats hard to understand.
My wife and I were staying overnight locally and looking forward to the meal here. The crab starter was quite tasteless as was the prawn cocktail ,which was totally bland. This was followed by a chicken dish and a pork dish both very ordinary. The deserts were just o.k and the glasses of wine on offer were quite limited and expensive for what you get. We went to the pub next door to get over the disappointment , nice pub and nice staff maybe we should have eaten there?
Three of us went around 8.p.m, place quite full. Seems to be family run very friendly staff and would seem to have a good local clientel, always a good sign. Anyway we had the set dinner, excellent choices, three courses and two small bootles of red wine, total bill 86Euro.The food was very tasty and quite large helpings, we could not finish our mains. I would prefer the wine from proper bottles , the small ones lack taste but overall a nice place.Oh we also had a pot of tea for two.
There this morning with a friend , nice busy place. Had a cappuchino and a reguler coffee, expecting a decent coffee. They were both like drinking luke warm brown water, very weak, probably only got a smell of a coffee bean. This is not on in this day and age especilly when it is a coffee shop. I said it to the waitress and she apoligised and said we should have complained to her and she would have changed them, fair play to her. We did not have time to wait but it would certainly influence any decision to go back there.
Four of us had a good meal here , early evening and not to busy. The staff are always quite friendly and helpful. However, I recently bought two offers from City Deal with the intention of using them soon. After reading about the new limited menu and some of the previous write ups about here, I am having second thoughts about going. I would recommend that Zao change their attitude and let it be known here that it has changed . They should respond to previous posts for the sake of their business. Vouchers are here to stay, so if a restaurent partakes in them ,it should make sure that they honour their part of the bargain and not make people feel small. or tightfisted. Sorry to go on but I do feel it is important to make this point.
New owners, new style and very friendly staff. Always nice to walk in to a place and see friendly and helpful staff, good start. Four of us went and had a very good meal. We all had the Antipasta, I had the Vongole which was very tasty and quite large. Chicken and Rabbit ( to celebrate Easter) by the others , were also very well cooked and presented. Great selection of wine at good prices and no problem getting tap water if required. Two shared the Assiete of deserts which contained about twelve dishs, tasty and two had the chesse board, very enjoyable. I must say they are getting stuck in here and with staff like they have and the good cooking this place should do really well, We all are looking forward to going back, soon.
Three of us went for the new Tapas menu and got there at 6.30, it was quite full but got seated at the bar. Nice place and tasteful decor , quite a buzz about the cafe. Got a nice bottle of Navarra red and a glass of white, good wine and fair prices. Tapas was excellent, with a nice duck plate and great selection of dips plus a few others. Cheeseboard was excellent and only one of us had deserts, Peach Melba with a new twist, I was sorry I did not get one. Two staff were very efficent and friendly, both french I think. Delighted to see this addition to the eating out scene and I intend to go again very soon.
Three of us went on a cold , wet and windy friday night, surprised to find the place nearly full. We were shown to the back part of the restaurent which also filled up quite quickly. Pizzas were good as were the pasta dish, starters of antipasta were just o.k as were the few glasses of wine we had. Coffee was quite tasteless.The part of the restaurent visible from the street has a nice ambiance , nice tables and a general buzz about it. The hidden part, where we were is a canteen like structure with no ambiance and really quite dull. So if I go again to that branch, I shall insist on booking out front.
Wife and I went there about 7 p m on Sunday evening, very poor lighting and very few people present,Wife had fish in sweet and sour sauce which was tasteless and my duck was very bland, side dish of noodles was plain and I do mean plain. Service was very slow even though the restaurent was quite empty. I have heard some very good reports about here from friends , maybe it was just a one off bad night. But if they do not get their act together I would doubt their prospects of staying open in the future, which would be a pity.
Went for Tapas but had the fish plate and partner had the starter antipasta type dish. Excellent choice, friendly staff . good value in wine and even better its local to me. They also do hot dishs which I do intend to try All in all good food at good prices in pleasent surroundings, we could do with more of the same.
Two of us went there and got the antipasta starter to share, very little on it and no dressing on the lettuce, very unappealing. One got a pizza which was dry and tasteless and I got spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and chilli which again lacked any taste . Expresso was nice, as was the few glasses of wine. This could be a great local place but they have really let themselves down in both the presentation and taste of the food.
Two of us had the 25 Euro Menu and it was excellent. From the moment we arrived to be greeted by friendly faces, seated and both water, bread and menus placed on table, this is the way to do it. Starters of salmon in citrus and Chicken terrine, very tasty. Mains were sea bass and duck, extra side dish of potatooes cooked in duck fat( very good) which were cleared off the plate quite quickly. Deserts were also good and my rice pudding was memory stirring ,in a good way. Wine by the glass came in a good measure and finished off with pot of tea and expresso. Very friendly and professional staff add greatly to any place and they certainly have it here.
Went there today with two others and had the Afternoon Tea for two and I had a coffee and a sandwich from the Afternoon Tea . At 25 Euro it was excellent value and what a nice place. Staff were smiling and friendlyn might be tempted to go for an overnight stay soon.
Two of us went there on a Monday night, quite full but seated quickly. Good wine and good prices but feel they could change the menu a bit . Food not very hot and seemed to lack the tasty bite it used to have. Maybe I picked a bad night as its usually quite good. Staff both helpful and efficent.
Great food, bad value. Three courses for 39 Euro should mean that , charging extra for various things, leaves a bad taste in the mouth ( in these times). So get your offers right and dont annoy customers who are already feeling upset about all thats going on in Ireland.In other words, its a great place but dont stick extras on , it does not go down well and will not be accepted any more.
Four of went last night, first time for all. Nice decor and friendly staff. Very limited choice of wines at reasonable prices ,which in todays economic times is not good. The food was lacking in both taste and quantity.Had a mixture of Starters and Mains which we all agreed were not up to the standard expected ,especially at the price been charged.All in all a disappointing night out.
Four of us went at 7 p.m on Saturday night, no booking. The manager/ owner quickly seated us and said he would need the table back around 8.30 p.m but we could have coffee etc, at the bar. Good choices on the menu in both the starters and the mains. Excellent food , nicely presented and very flavoursome. Wine at quite reasonable prices and a very nice pint. I have to mention our waiter( did not catch his name), a real professional with expert advice, on both the food and the wine. All in all a great evening for both the food and the service, what a nice change to have both expert and friendly staff.Cannot wait to go back.
Small Italian Cafe, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Starters for three of us, consisted of a selection of Tapas , Cold Meats and assorted Brushettas. Mains were two of the cold meat and cheese plates, all Italian and all very tasty. Wines very reasonable and last but not least was the Chocolate Bar deserts. Real chocolate with nuts in some of them, delicious. Will be back probably best to book, as tight on space.
Three of us went for the early bird and really enjoyed both the food and the wine. It was very quite, which took away from the ambience but the staff made up for this, by their friendleness and efficency.Fish of the day was cod and it was excellent also steak which was very good. Starters for all, big juicy prawns and salad, tasty. One desert , three bottles of house red , two Irish coffees and one port for 170 Euro. Great night, nice food , we left feeling very contented.
If you are in a hurry , dont go here. Four of us went at 7.30 p.m and left at 11.15p.m, a long meal but a very good one. You wait quite a while between courses, as they appear to be tight on kitchen space . Food however is quite good and reasonable, Antipasta was excellent as were the Pasta dishes, Chicken was very tasty and all the mains were of ample size. Had the house red ( Primitovo) at 18 Euros and a carafe of White also some tap water. A very nice Italian place ,staff friendly and helpful.Once they get over the delays, this place will have everything going for it. Now maybe its us (Irish) who like to have a meal and wine and be out in around two hours ,so perhaps the next time, I will go Italian and go real easy, probably be better for my health.
.Nine of us went for lunch, a family reunion. Busy place and excellent service, three course set lunch with plenty of choice and good value wine. Everybody very happy with all the courses, my duck was excellent and the deserts were delectable. I had not been there for a while but will now change that. It must be one of the most consistant places in the country, rather like a well oiled machine that never breaks down.
Three of us went around six for the tapas menu and were quite impressed. Excellent selection of choices and large and tasty dishes at an excellent price. Staff were also very pleasent and efficent, all in all a good night with nice wines also.
Three of went around 7 p.m, busy enough. Very helpful and friendly waiter made us all feel quite welcome. Shared starters of Antipasta and a salad, nice mix of meat and salad in the Antipasta and quite a large helping. They have expanded the Menu so we had a pasta dish, clams and pasta, which was excellent. Also a chicken dish and a fish dish, both were quite simply cooked and very tasty. Wine is good and inexpensive. All in all, a nice meal at a good price and can see this place getting better and better.
Two of went for the early bird on a wet midweek night. Very nice staff and great value meal.Had Bruscetta and Pate to start, plenty of flavour. Then Pork Cutlet and Lamb Shank as mains, excellent taste and quite large helpings. One desert, one tea and a french coffee( quite bland) and a bottle of white wine, great value at 72 euro. Place quiet but shows plenty of promise.
Went there on Sunday 4th 0ct with six adults and two toddlers.We had various mains , Fish was sole which was covered with a very buttery sauce , sole had no taste. Pasta dishs lacked any distinct taste and presentation was sadly lacking . Pizza, which I had was awful , again tasteless and very ordinary. This place was good but now is just coasting along serving uninspiring food at expensive prices. Pity, its always nice to have good local retaurents.
Family group went there last Sat. twelve of us in total. Great buzz in the place and very friendly staff, they really do try to make sure everybody is happy. Mixed dishs ordered by people right across the menu, everybody very happy . So a great night , good value and happy punters, good way to start into Christmas.
Went there with three others, service very friendly and efficent. I ordered Monkfish and it was very lack lustre , no taste and just generally lacking. Other three mains were just o.k but the presentation of same was excellent. Maybe, I picked a bad night for the chef but not as good as usual but I will be back.
Went with two others for the early bird on Sunday night. Excellent food ,very friendly and efficent staff, wine at good prices. We were all impressed and will be back soon.Just the place we need for these gloomy times.
Doing up house at the moment and have eaten here about four times, in last few weeks.Very good quality food especially any chicken dish and big helpings.Noodle side dish is one of the best I have eaten and the prawn starters. Would recommend.
.Six of us went for the Valentine Special i.e four courses plus a bottle of wine per couple for 75 Euro. Between us we had most of the dishs on offer, all very enjoyable and had a lot more than the offer of wine i.e three bottles. The host is great fun and very obliging especially if one wants any variation on the meals on offer. A very enjoyable night at a quite reasonable price.
My wife and I had breakfast there this morning, one of the best we have had.Everything was so tasty and fresh,we will be back.
Four of us went there last night (12th april)and we all agreed it was excellent especially the sauce with the sea bass. Great value also and nice staff.Try the smoked salmon and prawns to start , very tasty.
My wife and I went last night and what a let down. Tiny glasses of wine very poor options for main courses and very small and uninteresting helpings of cold meats and cheeses. One year ago this place was buzzing with friendly staff and fair portions of food ,the buzz is gone and so is the crowds. We had a starter, a glass of wine each and left in approx. 30 minutes ,before we would have stayed two hours approx.
Had a staff do there last night. Place was too packed with very rude and unhelpful staff, terrible food and was told the bar closed at 8.30. It was a matter of pack them in give them rubbish and get the money and get them out as quickly as possible. A fitting end to the Celtic Tiger.


Rome wasn't built in a day but if you have only 1 day in Rome and you stay at Cameo B&B with our careful planning, you can hit most of the major sights and leaving time for shopping and italian food.
Don't worry about cappuccino! You will start your day with our delicious home made breakfast: pastries, toast, delicious eggs, meats and plenty of coffee.
1. Start your journey in the Vatican. Visit the Vatican Museums (of course not all of them, because it will take you too long, but do not miss the Sistine Chapel) and the St. Peter's Basilica.
2. Pass by Castel Sant'Angelo. Cross the bridge Ponte Cavour, then take Via dei Condotti (very famous shopping street) till arriving at the Spanish Steps.
3. Go to the Trevi Fountain.
5. The Via dei Fori Imperiali leads you then to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.
6. Go to Trastevere by bus and enjoy your dinner there.
It's a shame to leave so many other things off the list. Add in another day if you can!

ROUND ROCK, TX, Nov. 12, 2013- Odyssey Technical Solutions today announced that this week they have reached their 25,000th repair of RF, MW and DC equipment primarily used in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. In 2000 two friends from Motorola/ Austin decided they wanted to work for themselves and recognized a niche in the semiconductor equipment repair business; the business model placed them between the higher price OEM (original equipment manufacturer) repair and the generally lower quality third party repair competitors. Now 13 years later, in their 20,000+ sq. ft. technology center, with 50 employees and over 30 technicians, they realize their business model really did work and the industry has taken notice.
This veteran owned business has grown and grown, and 25,000 repairs is a significant milestone that should be celebrated. In 2009 when the world and semiconductor business were severely tested, Odyssey had only a small adjustment, compared to the large, well-documented layoffs by their competitors. Despite the lack of business they felt an obligation to keep their core of key people together, most of whom are still with Odyssey today. That strategy helped them emerge from the downturn with increased market share and higher volume.
"A truly American small business success story is what it is and we are so happy to be able to hire and touch the lives of our employees and their families. Many times it felt like we were David in David versus Goliath, but as we know David ultimately won", said Eric Nail, vice president of Odyssey.
A recent customer survey (Oct 2013) revealed over 80% of Odyssey customers believe Odyssey offers "the highest quality repair and give us the highest confidence level". One of their largest customers summarizes it best "turnaround time is outstanding and if we need a part expedited they're able to turn around parts even faster. The quality of repair is also fantastic." So Odyssey is not only touching the local Round Rock and Austin communities, but the semiconductor industry across the globe.

Manchester United go looking for a fourth consecutive win when Stoke City visit Old Trafford on Sunday lunchtime.
The Reds made it three on the bounce with Thursday's Europa League win over Ukranian side Zorya Luhansk.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal met with relief rather than jubilation it made it three victories in eight days for United.
That came after three consecutive defeats in eight days that had caused consternation among fans.
Stoke present the final hurdle before the international break and manager Jose Mourinho, who no injury problems other than the absence of Phil Jones, should be able to call on a strong squad.
We've got all things United covered all day so stick with us for the latest.

Big blow
Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren are doubts for Liverpool's clash with United on October 17.
Lallana went off with a groin injury just before the half hour mark, while Lovren was ruled out the game pre-match.
Lallana it's a groin problem and Lovren as well, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports.
They both cannot go with the national team. We will see exactly, but hopefully they can use the time to recover.

The tribute features the words 'Duncan Edwards – Footballer of genius' and the famous quote from Edwards' primary schoolmaster in Dudley, Geoff Groves: "I have just seen a boy of eleven who will play for England one day."
Outreagous
One-time United target Marco Verratti could leave PSG if they fail to win a major trophy, according to the player's agent.
The Italian midfielder only signed a new five-year contract with the French champions in August, but Donato Di Campli has warned the club that they will need "to win something important" to keep hold of him.
We are obviously pleased with the confidence that PSG firmly believe in Marco, Di Campli told So Foot.
His deal now runs until 2021, but the contracts are made and unmade in three minutes. We'll see PSG's aims, Marco is happy to be there, but he wants to win something important. He can not stay in a team that does not win.
It's a matter of motivation. Occasionally, you have to try new adventures, not now, because we hope to stay as long as possible, but will come a day when it will face this discussion.
On this day in 1945, Sir Matt Busby officially took over as Manchester United manager.
Sir Matt would lead the Reds to 13 trophies, including their maiden European Cup and five league titles.
Perhaps his greatest achievement was having the courage to carry on and rebuild the club after the Munich air disaster.
Great finish, too
Manchester United starlets DJ Buffonge and Kayne Diedrick-Roberts fired the club's under-18s to an impressive victory at Middlesbrough on Saturday.
After being 1-0 down in the opening stages at Rockliffe Park, Buffonge grabbed an equaliser just before the break and Diedrick-Roberts put the Reds in front 10 minutes later.
The performances of United's two forwards was all the more impressive given how Kieran McKenna's side were without star player Angel Gomes, who is on international duty with England's under-17s.

Well done lads!
Attack, attack, attack
Manchester United plan to give Stoke City the same treatment they gave Leicester City last weekend.
The Reds brushed aside the Premier League champions with a quick start that led to one of their best displays of the season and a 4-1 victory.
And Ashley Young , who came off the bench against the Foxes, wants to see another performance of drive and purpose on Sunday.
Doubtful
Real Madrid are still interested in signing United 'keeper David De Gea if their transfer ban is overturned, according to reports.
Spanish outlet Don Balon say Los Blancos are looking at De Gea, Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, Julian Draxler of Wolfsburg, Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi and Liverpool forward Phillippe Coutinho.
Madrid, of course, came very close to signing De Gea in August, 2015.
Classic Mike
Man United prodigy Marcus Rashford believes Jose Mourinho will make the Reds "more complete players" compared to his predecessor Louis van Gaal.
The 18-year-old broke into United's first-team under van Gaal, when the Dutchman handed him his debut against FC Midtjylland last February.
Rashford went on to score six goals under van Gaal and has continued that stunning progress under Mourinho in recent weeks.
Having worked closely with both bosses, the United striker said the key difference between them was how they conducted training.
"Van Gaal's sessions are directly related to the games, whereas Mourinho is more about making players complete players,'" Rashford told Soccer AM.
"They are different and take getting used to, but everyone is relishing it."
Rashford, who looks certain to be called up by Gareth Southgate for England, has also revealed that he hopes to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese helped fire United to nine trophies under Sir Alex Ferguson and Rashford said he looked up to Ronaldo and United skipper Wayne Rooney as a kid.
"In recent years Ronaldo is the example," he said.
"Wherever you put him in the attacking three he's going to make an impact and the opposition are going to fear him. Being a constant threat, that's what I need to develop.
"[Wayne] Rooney and Ronaldo were unreal [together]. In 2007-08 it was an unreal partnership, they have been huge players I have looked up to and watched how they perform to try to put into my own performance."
History would've been very different
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was a shock target to replace Sir Alex Ferguson when the Scot was about to retire in 2002.
The Frenchman is celebrating 20 years in charge of the Gunners this week and the Daily Star claim Wenger had been lined up to replace Sir Alex if he went through with his retirement plans more than a decade ago.
Ultimately, an approach never came to fruition because Sir Alex decided against stepping down.
United defender Matteo Darmian has been called up for Italy's World Cup qualifiers against Spain and Macedonia.
The Italian has made just one appearance for the Reds this season - a 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord last month.
That has not put off Giampiero Ventura, though, and Darmian is due to arrive for training at the Coverciano training ground on Monday.
The year's flown by
Poor Jaap
Man United legend Jaap Stam has revealed he is only in touch with one of his former team-mates at Old Trafford - because he "wasn't in football to make friends".
The Dutchman, who was part of the Reds' treble-winning side in 1999, is currently managing Reading in the Championship.
Despite playing with United greats like Roy Keane and David Beckham, the former United defender told BBC Football Focus that he saw his team-mates more as colleagues than friends.
"When you're playing together you've got colleagues and other people who are saying, 'I've got a lot of friends in football' but from the years I've played football, the different teams I've played with, I've only got one friend left," he said.
"They're all colleagues and eventually if they go somewhere else, everything fades a bit. I wasn't in football to make friends; I was in football to win trophies, to win prizes and to do well myself.
"You get a lot of colleagues, but real friends are hard to find as well."
United striker Marcus Rashford has opened up about the differences in training between Jose Mourinho and his predecessor Louis van Gaal.
The 18-year-old has not looked back since he was handed his chance by the Dutchman against FC Midtjylland last season and has since proved himself under Mourinho.
Van Gaal's sessions are directly related to the games, whereas Mourinho is more about making players complete players, Rashford told Sky Sports.
Top lad
United prodigy Marcus Rashford feels captain Wayne Rooney does not deserve the criticism he's received in recent months.
The 18-year-old is backing Rooney to prove his class once he starts to hit form again - despite Jose Mourinho dropping him for the game against Leicester City.
Criticism about Wayne is unfair, he told the Sun. Definitely. He has won everything for this club.
He is about to beat the club record for goals, he's got the England appearance record and goals record, he's got a lot of achievements and a lot of things to be proud of.
So I just think – give him time and all this will go away.
Was linked with Napoli just a few days ago..
Poor Liverpool
Writing's on the wall
Jose Mourinho wanted to play Memphis in Manchester United's Europa League win over Zorya Luhansk but couldn't after Timothy Fosu-Mensah succumbed to cramp.
Memphis has played just 88 minutes for United so far this campaign and did not make the weekend squad for the win over Leicester.
The 22-year-old Dutchman scored in both Europa League ties against Midtjylland last season and came on in the defeat to Feyenoord in September but remained on the bench for the visit of Zorya.
That's that then
Cheers Phil
Man United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic turned down an £87 million deal from China to move to Old Trafford, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
The 34-year-old joined United on a free transfer in the summer after four seasons with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Swede, who previously worked with boss Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan, has already proved a big hit with the Reds - scoring six goals in 10 games.
Ibrahimovic's agent has claimed the Swede could have earned £1.67 million a week if he had opted to move to an unnamed Chinese club.
Instead, according to Raiola, the striker wanted to win trophies at the highest level.
"Ibrahimovic is the best," he told Il Giornale.
"He turned down €100m net from the Chinese. He doesn't want more money, he wants to win.
"I've been lucky. I've always had champions."
Ibrahimovic, who signed a two-year deal when he joined United, is reportedly on £200,000 per week at Old Trafford.
Bad to worse
Poor. Woeful. Terrible.
The Marcos Rojo pejorative adjective bingo continued on Thursday night after another uninspiring display in an average Manchester United performance despite victory against Zorya Luhansk.
Once again, he offered little going forward and wasn't faultless in defence despite the fact United had 72 per cent possession.
United legend Eric Cantona made his return from THAT suspension against Liverpool on this day in 1995.
The Frenchman set up youngster Nicky Butt for the Reds' opener after two minutes before scoring a penalty in the 2-2 draw.

Patient safety, according to World Health Organization is an endemic concern."In April 1982 the ABC television program 20/20 entitled The Deep Sleep presented accounts of anesthetic accidents and stated that, every year, 6,000 Americans die or suffer brain damage related to these mishaps. A year later in 1983, the British Royal Society of Medicine and the Harvard Medical School jointly sponsored a symposium on anesthesia deaths and injuries. By 1984 the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) had established the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF). The APSF marked the first use of the term; patient safety; in the name of professional reviewing organization.
Subsequent to a lot of studies conducted across the globe and recognizing that healthcare errors impact 1 in every 10 patients around the world, the World Health Organization calls patient safety an endemic concern.
So, what does patient safety really mean?
It means about a hundred different things to different people. From a clinician, to a health care provider, to the administrator, and of course the patient himself. Patient safety is a perspective….I mean; one would assume that when a patient walks into a healthcare facility, he or she is in safe hands……literally. Right? Well! Wrong.
You see, Patient safety is a serious global public health issue today. Estimates show that in developed countries as many as one in 10 patients is harmed while receiving hospital care. And the Patient safety issues may vary from the preventable errors in healthcare that can cause harm to patients such as injury, suffering, disability or death. Therefore by default Patient safety would be any improvement that tackles the causes of errors in care that can come from either bad working environment, the lack of training and support for staff or (unintended) patient harm resulting from treatment.
From a patient's perspective, does that patient know how unsafe he is in any healthcare facility? Does he know that in addition to a million different bugs that he is exposed to, he is vulnerable to specific hospital acquired infections, falls, wrong medications, wrong site surgery etc. So really, how safe is that person who walks into any healthcare facility today?
While that remains the bigger question the answer comes in various forms such as Training- both class room and on job, constant reinforcement of safety policies, exposure to various forums and conferences and more training. The responsibility of patient safety lies with every individual associated with the care of the patient because at the end of the day if that patient walks out of a hospital SAFE then that's a job well done.
The decision to make a patient safe does not come by accidentally or incidentally. It is a conscious decision that every health care facility has to make and follow meticulously. It is a commitment by every healthcare worker to every patient who walks into a healthcare facility however small or big. It should not and cannot be taken lightly.
We believe that anything that an organization does towards patient safety is still less. It has been our concerted effort to enhance patient safety by exposing all healthcare workers to various facets of keeping a patient safe in a hospital/healthcare. Right from medication errors, lab safety, and safety in food delivery, anesthetic complications and HAI to facility safe hospital and finally to effective communication, all these are but a part of the whole picture.
We have tried to enthuse every one of our participants over the last 2.8 years to make sure that patient safety is the norm of the day. We would like to believe that we have initiated a safe and happy patient care environment and the journey is a continuous one because whatever any healthcare facility decides to implement towards enhancing patient safety unfortunately is still woefully deficient but it is a start in the right direction.
Come join hands to make "Patient's SAFE".

The Day I Knew I Loved You.
Rain gave off a soft, salty scent of unwashed bricks in the streets of Benrath, Germany. I was walking to the train station from my exchange family's home with some of the tight-jean wearing Germany students. It was June of 1997 and it seemed to rain nearly every afternoon as the humid weather brought the daily thunderstorms. We were headed to old town Dusseldorf to go out for the night. I had spoken with you only minutes ago on the phone and we had agreed to meet on the train into town. I smiled to the ground as I realized how fond I was growing at having you around. Your smiles and laughs were infectious and I didn't want a cure. I only had 2 and half weeks left before I would be heading off to college would likely hardly, if ever, see you again.
As I walked up to the train station, I turned and heard the other students calling to me as they were walking up to their right. I looked at them, confused as to where they were heading. "We take the trolley to this place, it's easier to get to," one of the students said. I tried to explain that I had told you to meet us at the S-bahn station near your host family's home. Reluctantly, I let them convince me that you would know where we were going and would meet up with us there.
My heart dropped. The city whizzed by, station to station, laughing German students ready for a good night out and I couldn't get the image of you standing on the train platform, waiting for the man that would never come. I felt a sense of loss and disappointment in myself that I had never sensed before. I had let you down and I never wanted to do it again. When we got to the pub, I walked through the door into all the smiling, laughing and drinking faces, yours was not among them. I sat with the others and waited, hoping maybe you were running late.
I found myself some time later standing outside of the loud dark room. The lamplight in the streets casting dancing shadows down my path. The rain had to turned to a soft mist and heat from the day was causing the water to evaporate from the bricks, swirling a mist into the air. The water seemed to hang between falling and raising, and my heart mimicked the movements.
I walked the extra distance to the S-bahn station so I could take it home just in case I would find you along the way. As the train slowed down to stop at your platform I watched, hoping you might still be there, but also hoping you wouldn't have waited out in the rain for me this long. I was greeted only by the platform, trash cans and flashing of the over head florescent lighting.
When I finally got up to my room at my host family's home, I laid my head down but couldn't get the image of you waiting in the rain for the man that would never come. I laid there in the dark that night, unable to sleep, trying to understand everything I was feeling. It was then that I realized I loved you, I always would and never wanted to disappoint or be without you again.


Microsoft has just announced a new developer contest that should make things very interesting both for developers and regular consumers who use their apps every day. The contest, entitled "Windows Phone Next App Star Competition", will offer up over $1M in prizes to 64 winners but it's the top spot that should gain the most attention.
Should you win the #1 app, Microsoft will feature your creation on a TV commercial featured in primetime.
Any app in the Store is eligible worldwide…whether they are brand new or have been on the platform since day one, but only user ratings of the app after March 5th will count towards the contest. Microsoft will then select the top 64 apps with the highest rating and those will go to the "playoff round" where users worldwide will vote for their favorites i.e. think of sport playoff brackets, where two apps go in and one goes on to the next round of voting.
As mentioned earlier, the top winner gets the TV spot, which admittedly is a heck of an award. But those other 63 challengers don't have much to fear as they can win numerous other prizes too, including Lumia 920, free 1-year developer accounts, online media presence and more from Microsoft.
We spoke with Senior Director, Windows Phone Apps Team, Todd Brix, earlier today about the contest and he noted how Microsoft is doing this contest for two main reasons: (1) to thank developers who have committed to making top quality apps for Windows Phone and (2) make customers aware of some of the most amazing apps for their new Windows Phone (or if they were considering buying one).
Brix also highlighted the fact that developers have seen a 100% increase in app revenue and downloads within the last few weeks, no doubt due to the Windows Phone 8 bump from the holidays. That momentum is worth highlighting as are the best apps for our phones.


A list version of the diet in its entirety is not available, however, it's main focus does revolve around a heavy concentration of vegetables and meat. That did pose something of a problem, seeing as "[Tatum] does not like broccoli", according to the author of the fan club.
Given the strenuous nature of training, both weightlifting and fight preparation, it's no wonder why Tatum's body would require the nutrients and amino acids found in vegetables along with solid protein sources found in meat in order to fully recover. While I'm sure that the diet did include many other whole foods, picking these two components as the cornerstone of his diet wasn't a bad idea!

Pete Davidson Nabs Starring Role In Horror Flick 'The Home,' Which Begins Filming Later This Month
Who's laughing now?
Everyone may be captivated by Pete Davidson's fascinating love life, but his recent career moves are just as noteworthy. Case in point: Deadline has just announced that the Staten Island native is set to star in a horror movie titled The Home.
According to the outlet, the Saturday Night Live comedian will play Max, "a troubled man who starts working at a retirement home and realizes its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. As he investigates the building and its forbidden fourth floor, he starts to uncover connections to his own past and upbringing as a foster child."
The flick is being directed by James DeMonaco, who both wrote and directed The Purge and several of its sequels. Filming is scheduled to being later this month.
Source: Will Heath/NBC
Davidson with Colin Jost on 'SNL'
"We're excited to be backing DeMonaco's brilliant vision. James' The Purge horror franchise has grossed over $450 million at the worldwide box office," noted producer Bill Block. "With his masterful storytelling abilities and Pete's versatility as an actor, this film will put audiences everywhere on the edge of their seats."
The movie marks one of several for the star, who's been quickly expanding his acting résumé over the past couple of years. In 2020, he starred in and acted as a co-producer on The King of Staten Island, which acted as a biopic of sorts. He was even able to give his grandpa a role in the flick.
Working together was a special experience for Davidson, as his grandfather was the one who first brought out his acting capabilities.
"Me and Poppy have been working together since I was like 4 or 5. We used to make home movies, maybe even younger. We did that until I was in my teens," he told Insider. "Luckily, I was able to get a movie a year ago, and we got to work together on a real set, which was really surreal and just a great, complete full circle thing. It's just fun to be able to work together, and we get to hang."
The Wild 'n Out alum filmed a rom-com titled Meet Cute last year, and SNL will return with new episodes on January 15.

Q: Create and get new channel incoming webhook in slack I just created a channel via Slack Api using channels.create method. How do I add incoming webhook and get the URL programmatically? I have other tools that will use it further.

A: You can not create new incoming webhooks programmatically, but you don't have to. Just override the channel property on an existing incoming webhook for your current Slack team to use the new channel.
Example:
{
  "text": "This is a line of text.\nAnd this is another one.",
  "channel": "channel-name"
}

Note that this will only work for incoming webhooks defined via custom integrations, but not for those defined as part of a Slack app.

What is the role of technology in education? As the chalkboard of the olden days is synonymous with the digital board of the present and the overhead projectors are being replaced by the digital devices that are more than capable of presenting multimedia to the whole class, this question is worth asking as time goes on. Many educational institutions are trying to adapt to the new technological changes such as multimedia presentation, social networking and distant education. According to Factmonsters.com (Life-Changing Science Discoveries) majority of scientific discoveries were made before technology took ahold of the education system and these discoveries were accomplished using old school "absorb the information" methods, what makes one think that technology will deliver the information with better or at least the same results? As the parents of elementary and secondary school students voice their disappointment over the degrading education system, is it worth spending taxpayers' dollars on seemingly useful gadgets which in the end may not result in better education.
Fear of the unknown is a fear in itself. With this in mind, I've launched into this course and had my doubts regarding the whole technology thing dissipated when I came upon this in the Teaching Naked textbook in which the writer states that "with technology, we can do more to ensure that all students can find a way into the material" (Bowen J.A.) This short but precise line in our textbook was an eye opener as to what technology has to offer in the class room. Up to this point, personally, I've been leery of technological changes until I started fixing imported vehicles during my free time. I have lost count of how many times I had to go to YouTube to watch a video on how to perform certain repairs, or post questions on bulletin boards. The vast expanse of information relating to other aspects of my life such as home improvements, travel etc. predominantly found on the web makes me wonder if the power of it could be incorporated in the classroom as well. As I look back at the teaching I've done using old VHS tapes which were outdated or even trying to use the white board to explain complicated concepts of physics, I am very excited about exploring in this class what technology has to offer and the methods of using it for the benefit of everyone. Even though technology offers a wide array of teaching tools, it also comes with a few negative implications. How can the information be verified? Is the knowledge being shared reliable and trustworthy? Who makes the decision regarding what is presented and what is omitted? Taking into consideration the positive as well as the negative effects of technology changes, it might be my responsibility to be a facilitator of the kind of technology being used in the classroom setting, which in turn will cut into my personal life.
One of the benefits of using technology is that the lessons can be customized to meet different learning styles. These benefits seem to align with the thoughts of the author of the Teaching Naked textbook and even if one of these benefits is achieved by using technology, it's a risk worth taking.
Once I've explored the benefits of technology through this course, I would like to look into bringing it into the classroom if the benefits outweigh the shortcomings. In my personal life, I use Skype to stay in touch with my friends and relatives overseas and I believe it could be used with the same success in the classroom. As I am completely unacquainted with Social Media such as Facebook or Twitter, I am looking forward to determining whether either one or both could be used as a communication tool with my students and also being able to organize a group study. Having online lessons for tradespeople may seem like an impossible task at this time. I am hoping to somehow make it work using technology, even though I am not completely sure at this time how it could be achieved, but I hope this course will be of assistance. I had thought that technology will make my life more complicated by cutting into my personal life, since the students expect me to be available for them 24/7, but the feedback from the students confirms otherwise as per a video on Youtube.com (Benefits of using Facebook to connect with students and how to keep them engaged. 2013) The following benefits of using technology outlined in this video are: information gets checked constantly, information flow is quick, students can be organized in groups, material relating to class is posted online, easy communication to all students as a group. As I start to understand the trends, it makes me wonder whether being connected to the learners may just readjust my work time around my personal time. Even though initially technology will take a lot of my personal time and effort, I am willing to adopt it for the betterment of the students.

ONE's Solid Shampoo and Conditioner : The Most Travel - Friendly and Green Shampoo and Conditioner You Ever Saw.
The dreadful organization that is required when traveling - whether its for the weekends or long term, the making sure your beauty products are in the appropriate sized bottles can be tedious. I personally feel like some travel -sized shampoo's and conditioners are just not enough product for my hair, or the possibility of liquids leaking in my luggage is another annoyance all on its own. This has all changed now with the latest in Beauty Technology - ONE's Solid Shampoo and Conditioner. Just like bars of soap, but intended for your tresses , which are earth-friendly (green), travel-smart formula features gentle ingredients and comes in a recyclable tin container housed in cardboard- not one inch of plastic used.
The Solid Shampoo Bar is formulated with soothing oatmeal and conditioning natural oils instead of harsh chemicals, the bar lets you lather up with just three or four rubs over wet hair, providing a fresh-scented deep clean. Available Scents: It's Green (for bouncy lively hair), Goldilocks ( blondes and highlighted hair), Squeaky Clean (for oily hair), Hair Biscuit ( for yummy hair).
The Solid Conditioner Hair Boost is made with nourishing Shea Butter and Macadamia Nut Oil, this earth-friendly solid envelops hair in nourishing natural moisture for a soft tangle-free finish.
