Michelin-starred Thai & Malaysian eatery spices chili crab with ginger & flavors duck with tamarind to serve in brick-walled dining room

Peanut oil is a traditional ingredient in Thai cuisine and not the product of dinosaurs throwing their peanut shells on the ground for millennia as commonly thought. Fuel up sans fossils with today’s Groupon: for $44, you get a three-course prix fixe dinner for two (up to a $92 total value) at Laut. Choose between the following options:

Redeemable Sunday–Thursday
Redeemable Friday or Saturday

The three-course prix fixe dinner includes the following:

Two appetizers (up to a $9 value each)
Two entrees (up to a $30 value each)
Two desserts (up to a $7 value each)

Michelin-starred and lauded by the New York Times in 2009 as “some of the best Malaysian food in Manhattan,” Laut earns acclaim by serving tamarind duck, shrimp pad see ew, and other southeast-Asian delicacies inside a warmly lit dining area with exposed brick walls. Eaters can devour forkfuls of the papaya salad’s spicy vinaigrette-clad veggies before exfoliating taste buds with bites of crispy pancake, chicken, and curry sauce from the roti canai appetizer. Spices abound in the chili crab’s bowl of egg, garlic, ginger, and tomato sauce, and they season the dry-simmered beef of the rendang entree, which is sprinkled with lemongrass, lime leaves, and grated coconut. To conclude, mochi ice cream and other dessert plates sate sweet teeth or slide into automobile CD players to pinpoint the nearest dentist.

Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Laut a spot on Groupon’s Best of 2011 list.

Advertising, direct mail, coupons…there are many ways for merchants to get their customers’ attention. But what will ultimately motivate shoppers to spend their money? A marketing plan that includes MercuryGift cards is a smart way to engage customers and keep them coming back. Following are a few ideas for your Mercury Payment Systems merchants:

PARTNER-UP
Attract new customers by networking with other local businesses.
How to do it:
Find a complementary business and partner with them to both your advantage. For example, a restaurant advertises a local bank to their patrons in exchange for the bank offering $10 gift cards to that restaurant to customers who open a new account.

---

DRIVE FUTURE SALES
Use gift cards to encourage return visits.
How to do it:
Offer customers who purchase $50 in gift cards during December, a free $10 gift card that can be used the following month. This is an effective way to push holiday sales into January, a traditionally slower buying time. You’ll recoup your investment quickly since consumers spend an average 45% more than the value of the card.

---

CAPTURE IMPULSE PURCHASES
Capitalize on the convenience of gift cards – seventy percent of all gift card purchases are impulse buys.
How to do it:
Display gift cards and carriers near each cash register to make it easy for customers to buy on a whim. Remind them that gift cards make a good last-minute purchase for hard to buy for people. Print a message on their receipt such as, “Don’t forget a gift card for your friends and family!”

---

Consumers prefer gift cards over traditional gifts.

November 13, 2011 “The Truth About Heart Disease”

We have been told for over 60 years that the cause of heart disease is eating too much fat and cholesterol. Only reducing fat and cholesterol in one’s diet has proven not to prevent or cure heart disease. The many drugs that are prescribed offer a band aid at best. This class will explain the truth about heart disease; how it is related to common malnutrition, toxicity and stress that most people in modern countries suffer from. Holistic doctors and practitioners have been prescribing food, supplements and lifestyle practices to heal heart disease for over 60 years, but these are not in common practice. Learn how to prevent and recover from a disease that claims one out of 2 lives in the United States.

December 18, 2011 “Feng Shui Astrology: Understanding Your Character, Personality and Health Tendencies”

Feng Shui, or the art of placement is the oriental science that teaches the energetic influences of your environment on health and well being. Related to this study is the science of understanding how your date of birth influences your character, personality and health. This is the study of the environmental influences that shaped you in your mother’s womb. Known as 9 Star Ki, in Japan, this understanding can give you deep insights into understanding your health and character and the health, and character of your friends and family. This is an ancient macrobiotic practice to help create harmony within you and with others.

After Apple announced a media event with the slogan “Let’s talk iPhone”, it is certain that the iPhone 5 launch is coming. There is a huge buzz surrounding the new iPhone and what will be included. Here are some things you should expect with the iPhone 5:

A New Design
At first, many people thought that Apple was going to keep the design of the iPhone 5 identical or extremely close to the iPhone 4. However, numerous pictures of new iPhone cases have been released, which in no way could hold the previous versions of the iPhone. Therefore, it is safe to say the iPhone 5 has been redesigned.

Faster Performance
To keep up with competitors, Apple most likely will be upgrading the RAM on the iPhone 5. We rely on smartphones extensively so it only makes sense that Apple would have upgraded the speed and performance of the new iPhone.

Better Camera
While Apple did improve the camera with the iPhone 4, it is expected that the camera on the iPhone 5 will be upgraded further. Many experts believe the screen will be larger, the camera will be 8 megapixels instead of 6, and the iPhone 5 will allow for full 1080p recording.

4G?
It is still unknown whether or not Apple will include 4G capabilities on the iPhone 5. However, if 4G is included, expect the iPhone to be larger. 4G requires a large amount of battery power and Apple has always been careful about battery life. While many people do want 4G on the iPhone, we will have to wait until the meeting to see whether or not Apple has included it.

Addition of New Carriers
Apple has slowly been extending its’ reach to new carriers. There is some speculation that Apple will include new carriers for the iPhone 5. Some rumors have indicated T-Mobile will be included, especially with AT&T trying to buy them.

Voice Recognition
Apple acquired a voiced-based personal assistant service Siri last year and has not used it much at all, at least that we know of. Apple may be integrating this service on the new iPhone to allow for voice recognition.

If anything is certain, the new iPhone 5 should be much improved and better then previous models. Apple always seems to one-up themselves with each version and hopefully the iPhone 5 is no different.
