WDYTYA Martin Sheen: a review
To those of you who have Ancestry accounts, and look for Irish records, I'm pretty sure I don't have to point out the problem with the magical appearance of an actual civil registration record when Mr. Sheen conducted his Ancestry.com search. Enough said.
I like Martin Sheen as an actor, but quite frankly I was completely appalled when I read some of the interviews he gave with respect to his family history after his experience on WDYTYA. It is clear to me that Mr. Sheen knows absolutely nothing about the history of Ireland, and learned nothing from his experience on the show.
To the UK Daily Mail he stated (and I quote):
"When I was in Ireland and discovering the involvement of my uncle in the Rising and the Civil War, because he took an opposing side to (Eamon) de Valera, I was afraid he might have been in on the plan to assassinate Mick Collins. But as it turned out he was in prison when Mick Collins was assassinated and I was deeply relieved."
Aside from the fact that Mr. Sheen is revealing his own massive ego and sense of self-importance in thinking he is connected to the man who killed Michael Collins, the HUGE problem with this statement is that Collins and DeValera were on OPPOSITE SIDES during the Civil War, so if Mr. Sheen's uncle was against Eamon DeValera, he would have been on the same side as Michael Collins.
Further, in an interview with TheDeadbolt.com, Mr. Sheen claims his ancestor also served during the War of Independence. In the show, he is researching the military service of his mother's brother Michael Phelan, and according to Michael Phelan's own pension application he was not a member of the I.R.A. until after the truce of July 1921, thus he would not have participated in either the 1916 Rising, or The War of Independence (1919-1921). Martin Sheen needs to run, not walk, to the nearest library and learn a little about Irish history before he says another word about it.
I was amused to see Martin Sheen in the research room of the Cathal Brugha Military Archives, simply because I have spent so much time there myself, but my amusement was quickly squashed. Cathal Brugha is a working military base, and in the Military Archives they have a stellar staff, made up principally of civilians (Hugh, Noelle, and Lisa). I like to imagine that perhaps they refused to appear on camera in protest of the nonsense to which they were witness.
Although pension records and medals files are held at the Cathal Brugha Military Archives in Rathmines Dublin, the records cannot be viewed there, unless of course you are Martin Sheen. You must apply through the Military Pensions Office in Renmore Galway, providing proof of your next of kin status (see this POST). Staff at Renmore Galway request the records from Cathal Brugha; the Cathal Brugha staff ship them to Galway, and from Galway they send you copies of the records. It may sound convoluted, but that is how it works.
With respect to the visit to Kilmainham Gaol, showing a prison cell in the panopticon section of the prison, in which Michael Phelan was allegedly held, does not quite fit, (sorry I'm skeptical about this claim too). I'm guessing the panopticon section of the prison was used because it's more TV friendly than the dank and dark corridors of the old gaol where many civil war prisoners were held. Also, I have searched the Kilmainham Gaol Registers, and have found no reference to a Michael Phelan of Tipperary imprisoned there during the period in question.
With respect to the pension application of Michael Phelan, the show was more interesting for what they failed to say, than for what they said. It is important to understand that pension applications made for service during the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence, and the Civil War, were made between 1924 to 1949, and are statements of "claim". People could in effect claim whatever they liked in an application. Civil War applications and witness statements in particular are remarkable for the way in which some of them were used as almost a sort of revenge against others.
A pension application had to be accompanied by sworn affidavits made by witnesses attesting to the veracity of an individual's claims. These witnesses might include commanding officers, or other high ranking officials. Mr. Sheen's ancestor may have claimed to have burned down one of the prisons in which he was held, but did he? Was there an affidavit to support his claims? Also, a pension applicant was not always given full credit for what he/she was claiming. An individual could claim to have served with the I.R.A. for years but, based on the affidavits of others, as well as the judgment of the authorities, he/she may have been denied their pension claim, or had it significantly altered. I would like to have seen more evidence than just a pension application, at least an indication that Phelan's claim was accepted, and he was granted a pension.
I guess it comes down to this: what is the point of WDYTYA? Is it purely for entertainment? Is the viewer supposed to think that they can go down the same path? When you watch this show, do you imagine that if you went to Ireland, you would uncover your past in the same way as this celebrity? What assumptions are viewers bringing to the show? Where are the evidentiary records? Enjoy the show, but don't assume you can follow in their footsteps, and don't assume there is necessarily truth in all, or even any, of the claims they are making about a particular individual.

I was also looking forward to the Ireland segment and was let down. It was certainly not instructional or accurate as far as trying to find information on ancestry (as you mentioned. Like you I wonder at the goal of the show. It certainly did not give tips for researchers. Perhaps it is just a commercial for ancestry.
Puzzled, Colleen
http://www.pasqualefamily.net/web/I was let down by the episode as well, as far as the Irish side of things. The Spanish side was interesting. I don't expect WDYTYA to give tips to researchers, but I didn't realize how inaccurate the presentation was until I read your post Jennifer.
Just wondering did you go to Cathal Brugha for family history research or for your history work?
AshlingRepliesHi Ashling,
Thanks for your comments. I also don't expect tips for researchers, just accuracy. I go to Cathal Brugha Military Archives for my history work, but have also been very fortunate to come across some family history while doing my work. It is a great place to go for academic research, since they have a vast array of original documents, and I wish they had said more about it.
Jennifer, I was thinking about you last night when this episode aired, and wondering if you watched it, and what you thought of it. Like Ashling I don't expect tips either, but I felt like it was pretty thin on the Irish content. Disappointing.
(BTW hope your Sara is doing better)- AnonymousFebruary 4, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Let me just say that I really appreciate the information you've provided here about the pension apps. I didn't know much about them. If I may be so bold, I think your disappointment in the show may stem from the fact that you know A LOT about Irish history in this time period. Most viewers don't have that background, so we just muddle thru.
ReplyDelete Thanks for this post, very interesting information to know. A few comments: first, the show is sponsored by Ancestry, so of course it is a commercial for them. I don't count on the show for tips; the are trying to direct people to Ancestry. Second, I think unless the celebrities have been doing genealogy for years (and so far I haven't seen one who has), they are counting on the producers and Ancestry consultants to help out and explain the history. I would put this on their shoulders, not necessarily on Martin Sheen (or another celeb who got the wrong end of the stick). Seems to me like the consultants/producers are the ones who dropped the ball here. Third, I often look at these episodes as more general history and especially as travelogues. If I had a relative who had been in the Gaol, it would be fascinating to me to see it overall.
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Jenny,
Thanks for your comments. I agree that the producers hold some responsibility in explaining the history, but I also think Sheen is responsible for what comes out of his own mouth. In interviews he 'acts' like he knows what he's talking about when it comes to this period in Irish history; I find this arrogant.
The fact of DeValera and Collins being on opposite sides in the Civil War is well known, so Sheen's comments about that just don't make any sense. I don't expect celebrities to bring any knowledge to their experience, but if they don't have the knowledge, they shouldn't try to come off as if they do.
I HAD NO IDEA! What an education you are providing for all of us. I just sat there satisfied that I could recognize some of the sights and bemoaning the fact that we did not have time to tour the gaol. I was also interested in the comments about "the south" (County Cork), etc. I would love to have you send your observations to ancestry and Lisa Kudrow and see what kind of response you would get.
Comments on this blog are always deeply appreciated; however, in the spirit of true collegiality, I ask that you do not write something you could not say to me in person.
There is a proliferation of SPAM, so comments moderation is in operation on this blog.
Any comments that are mean-spirited, include URLs which are not connected to the post topic, contain misinformation, or in any way resemble advertising, will be removed.

BC Place
BC Place is located at 777 Pacific Blvd., Vancouver.
For nearly three decades, BC Place has been a centerpiece for the City of Vancouver. Originally erected as the world's largest air-supported stadium in 1983, the stadium has now been reinvented and modernized. The stadium has again made history, as it is now a year-round open-air facility with a brand new cable-supported retractable roof – the biggest of its kind in the world.
The renovated venue is the new home of Vancouver Whitecaps FC. This renews a long history for Whitecaps FC at BC Place which began during the days of the North American Soccer League. The 'Caps played the very first sporting event at the original stadium, beating arch-rivals Seattle Sounders FC 2-1 in front of a crowd of 60,342 on June 20, 1983. In total, the club played 41 matches at the old BC Place (including eight as the 86ers). The last such match was a friendly versus David Beckham and LA Galaxy on November 7, 2007, with 48,172 fans packing the stands.
Now, as we've returned to the heart of the city, Whitecaps FC again play inside a truly world-class soccer facility in the heart of downtown Vancouver.
To see a panorama photo of our home opener at BC Place on Oct. 2, 2011, click here.
Stadium Facts
- Retractable Roof
The only venue of its kind in MLS, the stadium features 100m x 85m of blue-sky when open – the same size as the field area below. Each of the roof's support masts is 47m tall. All together, the structure is like 18 suspension bridges, each around 200m long. To open the roof, the flexible Tenara fabric retracts into the centre of the opening where it's hidden inside of a pod above the video board. The transformation takes just 20 minutes.
- Field
A new Polytan Ligaturf 240 RS+ all-weather turf field has been installed. The playing surface has a FIFA 2-star rating, designed to meet the highest standards. This field has previously been used at the training grounds for German club Bayern Munich, as well as stadiums such as: Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach, Germany; Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria and Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru. Bell Pitch downtown at BC Place will be 117 yards long x 75 yards wide.
- Video Board
As part of the renovations, a new state-of-the-art four-sided centre-hung high definition video board has been installed. The screen is the largest in MLS and the second largest of its kind in North America – behind only the one at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The largest side is 68ft x 38ft, the same area as 450 42" flat screen TVs. The 100,000 pound unit may be raised or lowered depending on event or game requirements.
- Light Display
Those who gaze at the stadium will notice a significant new attraction. Façade panels have been installed just above the concrete ring beam to create a new ETFE light display. This display will show a variety of colours and will be customized for Whitecaps FC matches.
Among the changes in the stands are wider, more modern seats, which now include cupholders. Other selections available include:
- Club Seats
1,300 premium club seats are available with two spacious club lounges on Level 3. These centre-field seats provide great sightlines along with cushions, as well as full food and beverage service and a dedicated stadium entrance so you can skip lines.
- Pitchside Seats
The first three rows are moveable loge seating which will bring fans right down to floor level, closer to the action. Fans in this area will also be treated to a loge lounge, as well as their own food court.
- Suites
50 newly designed and refurbished guest suites are now available. These include unique hospitality amenities, such as a private suite entrance and concierge service, making for a comfortable experience while enjoying the match.
- Seating Capacity
The soccer-specific configuration at Whitecaps FC matches is 21,000, with a flexible draping system covering the upper bowl to create a more intimate and electric atmosphere.
There are four retail locations situated on the Level 2 concourse. Each of them will be open as gates open on match days.
The stadium is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, directly next to Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks. Though parking is available in the area, it is often limited during special events. Another way to get to the stadium is by public transportation via skytrain, bus, SeaBus or West Coast Express train.
Find more information at http://www.bcplacestadium.com/index.php/getting-here.html
For those fans who would like to ride their bike to the stadium, complimentary and secure parking is provided by The Bike Valet located outside the stadium next to gate F. For more details, visit thebicyclevalet.ca.
Getting into the stadium has also been made easier with the removal of airlocks and revolving doors and the addition of eight high-traffic access ramps. Once you're in, you can find your way around with the help of distinct concourse colours to assist wayfinding. There are also new reserved areas for people with disabilities integrated into the main stadium seating, as well as new slip-resistant surfaces for the safety of all stadium-goers.
- Environment and Sustainability
The new roof results in much greater energy efficient, saving 25 percent on energy costs (or about $350,000 per year). New energy-efficient sports lighting has also been built in, allowing brighter lights and using 40% less energy. Other initiatives include expanded recycling and carbon neutral operations that aim to improve carbon management and shrink actual emissions year after year.
- Overall Upgrades
Included among the stadium's improvements are 40 upgraded concessions with expanded menus and faster service, as well as 52 upgraded washrooms and various improvements to media facilities, dressing rooms and general public areas. Also included are upgrades to the exterior plazas and a new Terry Fox Memorial.

LabelAfter a chance encounter with a chocolate grinder displayed in a confectioner's window in the French city of Rouen in 1913, Duchamp made the machine the subject of two paintings, adopting a representational style that recalls the precision of an engineering diagram. His rendering flattens the image and conflates the artist's hand with mechanical reproduction. |

4:57pm Tuesday 8th May 2012 in News By Richard Catton , firstname.lastname@example.com
YORK City's double Wembley date this month will bring hundreds of thousands of pounds to the club and boost the city's feel-good factor, according to fans and club chiefs.
Bootham Crescent bosses said City's FA Trophy Final clash against Newport County this weekend, followed by the play-off final against Luton Town eight days later, could bring in £300,000 in gate receipts. Victory over Luton would also mean a return to the Football League for city and a huge annual boost for club coffers.
Sophie Hicks, York City's community director said: "Ultimately the rewards are massive for the play-off's, which could be an additional £750,000 each year in income if we reach the Football League.
"It's a really important eight days for us what with the cup final, a decision on the new stadium and the play-offs. They have reached two finals - if that hasn't put the city on the map I don't know what would."
If City win the FA Trophy, they receive £50,000 in prize money, while the runners-up receive £25,000.
Susie Cawood, head of York and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, said the feel-good factor associated with the Wembley double should not be forgotten, especially in times of "doom and gloom".
She said: "If York win these games they will get written about and a lot and people forget the economic benefits of a successful club or stadium. It strengthens the case for a community stadium when you have a football team going to Wembley twice."
Meanwhile, fans are gearing themselves up to make one or both trips to Wembley, though pubs in York are expected to be packed with supporters.
Frank Ormston, chair of the supporters' group York Minstermen, said: "It does lift people's spirits. People who don't usually take any notice of football are suddenly very interested.
"I would like to see the pubs empty in York because I want everyone down in Wembley supporting the side but the reality is that a lot of people won't be able to afford both trips, so I'm sure they will be going out to the pubs and clubs to watch."

North Dakota voters have -- for now, at least -- cleared the way for the University of North Dakota's athletic teams to drop their controversial Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
North Dakotans voted 60.5% to 39.5% on Tuesday in favor of a referendum measure that essentially gives the school the power to drop the name, which it has sought to do to comply with an NCAA campaign targeting Native American nicknames.
"We are appreciative that voters took the time to listen and to understand the issues and the importance of allowing the university to move forward," university President Robert O. Kelley said Wednesday.
But a years-long battle over the nickname might not be over, with supporters hoping to force another vote -- this time calling for changing the state Constitution to mandate the name's use -- in November.
The issue stems from the NCAA's longstanding efforts to get most Native American nicknames and logos out of college athletics. In 2005, the NCAA ordered almost 20 schools whose nicknames and mascots it deemed "abusive in terms of race, ethnicity or national origin" to either get Native American permission to use their names and likenesses or come up with new ones.
The NCAA said that schools continuing to use such nicknames without permission would, among other things, be prohibited from hosting NCAA championship events.
Although one tribal body, Spirit Lake, supported the Fighting Sioux nickname, another group, the Tribal Council of the Standing Rock Sioux, did not give its endorsement. So the North Dakota Board of Higher Education agreed in 2007 to retire the nickname by August 2011.
But some North Dakotans, including the Spirit Lake group, objected, and the state Legislature passed a law in early 2011 requiring the university to use the Fighting Sioux nickname.
That law was repealed in November, when legislators approved Senate Bill 2370, which allowed the school to stop using the moniker.
That prompted the nickname's supporters to secure petitions forcing Tuesday's referendum, which asked voters whether Senate Bill 2370 should stand. Tuesday's "yes" vote keeps the bill in place.
The school stopped referring to its teams as the Fighting Sioux after SB 2370 passed, and the Sioux name and logo were gone from all uniforms except those of the hockey team. But the sports department resumed the nickname's use in news releases in February, when it became clear that the June referendum would happen, said Peter Johnson, executive assistant vice president for university relations.
Johnson said the school will await direction from the State Board of Higher Education, which has a previously scheduled meeting Thursday, regarding when the UND will drop the nickname again. As for a replacement nickname, SB 2730 says UND cannot choose one until January 2015.
But Fighting Sioux supporters have long said they intend to force a vote on constitutionally mandating the name. Supporters have until August to submit enough signatures to put the question on the November ballot.
The UND Alumni Association and Foundation opposes the nickname, saying that the consequences of keeping it extend beyond NCAA sanctions. It says that recruitment is suffering in part because some other schools, including Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota State, won't compete with UND's teams over the issue.
The Spirit Lake Committee for Understanding and Respect, which is among the nickname's supporters, argues that the name and log represent the Sioux people and North Dakota history well.
"We as North Dakotans have many great schools in our state. Each has its own pride and traditions. UND is no exception. The Fighting Sioux is to UND as Coke is to Coca Cola. The name has become the branding of UND," the group says on its website.

2013 BMW Championship Play Runs from September 12 - September 15 at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, IL.
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2013 BMW Championship kicked off on Tuesday, September 10 when PGA golfer and defending champion Rory Mcllroy competed in a driving challenge with Gary Woodland in a BMW i3, the first purpose built electric vehicle made primarily of carbon fiber.

McIlroy and Woodland competed on a specially created driving course at Six Flags Great America for the BMW Championship and Evans Scholars Foundation, to which BMW made a $10,000 donation in their honor. They completed several laps in the i3 on the course, and were only two seconds shy of beating the track record. Both golfers were two of the first people in the world to drive the i3 since the car's global reveal on July 29. The i3 will launch in the US in spring 2014. They were joined at the finish line by Evans Scholars Justin Cruz and Yesenia Juarez who are both students at Northwestern University.
"With the playoffs in full swing, it was thrilling to kick off the BMW Championship in a fun and fast fashion," McIlroy said. "Today's competition was fierce, but the true winners are the Evans Scholars."
The 2013 BMW Championship will be played from Thursday, September 12 through Sunday, September 15 at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, IL where the top 70 players on the PGA TOUR will compete for the FedExCup. Mcllroy and Woodland will be joined by Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Luke Donald. All proceeds from the BMW Championship will benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has raised more than $14 million for the Evans Scholars Foundation.
"The Evans Scholars program is one of our most rewarding initiatives and I am inspired every year by their dedication and commitment to higher education," said Ludwig Willisch, President of BMW of North America. "We are thrilled to continue our support of the Evans Scholars Foundation and allow young men and women the opportunity to pursue their goals."
In addition to supporting the Evans Scholars Foundation through the BMW Championship, BMW of North America, LLC also provides a summer internship program for Evans Scholars to work for BMW, offering them real-world experience and invaluable insight into their future careers.
Continuing the BMW Championship tradition, there will be many incentives for those who score a hole-in-one at this year's tournament.
"BMW has supported the Evans Scholars in many ways since first partnering with us for the BMW Championship in 2007," said Vince Pellegrino, Western Golf Association vice president of tournaments. "Thanks to BMW, many more caddies are attending college today as Evans Scholars. Together, BMW and the Evans Scholars Foundation are changing lives through the gift of education."
The BMW Championship will feature many exciting attractions for golfing fans and automobile enthusiasts. These include:
BMW is also providing opportunities for players to build excitement for the BMW Championship and Evans Scholars during the practice rounds, including:
Daily Clubhouse tickets to the BMW Championship are $40. Thursday, September 12, is BMW owners' day; anyone who presents a BMW key will get in free. Weekly badges are available to purchase in advance for $100. Juniors 16 and under are admitted free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. Parking is complimentary for BMW owners.
Additionally, with the presentation of a valid veteran/military ID, active or retired military personnel will receive free admission to the BMW Championship, on any day of the tournament.

Do you have time to search the web everyday to find the newest social media tools and trends? If the answer is no, then you have come to the right place. I have searched the internets for social media information all week, and stumbled upon a few favorites along the way. Here are my picks of the week:
New Facebook Profiles:
Facebook profiles got a makeover this week. Profiles now include a snapshot with a brief summary of who you are and recent photos. You also now have the option to highlight your interests, give a more complete picture of how you spend your time, as well as highlight your closest Facebook friends. For more information, click here.
Tumblr Took a Tumble:
This week, Tumblr went down for over 24 hours. Planned maintenance on Sunday unintentionally brought the entire network down. A very apologetic blog post from Tumblr staff stated "Frankly, keeping up with growth has presented more work than our small team was prepared for — with traffic now climbing more than 500M pageviews each month. But we are determined and focused on bringing our infrastructure well ahead of capacity as quickly as possible."
Google's Most Searched of 2010:
This week, Google released their Search Zeitgeist for 2010, which highlighted the most popular search terms during the year. So what did the world Google? As Mashable explained,
"Chatroulette, the iPad and Justin Bieber were the three fastest-rising search terms in 2010; Twitter and Facebook also made the list, at numbers eight and 10, respectively."
New search terms that made the list were Haiti, Chile, "earthquake", Lady Gaga and the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. Other top searches included world cup, iPhone 4, and Olympics. For a full list, go here.
World Map of Social Networks – December 2010:
Vincenzo Cosenza's latest world map of social networks is out. Trends for web traffic data from Alexa and Google during the month were mapped out. The map shows that Facebook is ever increasing in their dominance. Other social networks on the rise include LinkedIn and Twitter.
Meme of the Week:
(Note: I am including this because I am a geek about my town and who knows when the next viral video will come from #RVA.) What started as a local YouTube video has turned into a national viral video. Last weekend at a Christmas parade in Richmond, Virginia, a Rudolph float went down after being punctured by a stoplight. It is hilarious.. er.. I mean tragic. The video now has over 500,000 views, and has been featured on The Today Show, Jimmey Kimmel, Tosh.0, Perez Hilton, Metro, and more.

The room was full of conversation and energy as young entrepreneurs from across St. John's University pitched their ideas during the 2013 James and Eileen Christmas Business Plan Competition and Expo held in the D'Angelo Center on Saturday, April 27, 2013.

In the weeks leading up to the event five finalists, selected from the 76 submitted plans, were paired with alumni mentors who have extensive experience in their fields. Read the full story

Plainfield, N.J., has a population of 49,808, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. This ethnically diverse and ever-changing city is home to people from all walks of live, giving it a sense of real and genuine character. The city's 10 historic districts, seven of which are listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places, keep Plainfield's rich traditions alive. Yet, the city's storied history has not inhibited businesses and residents from moving forward.
Formed as a township in 1847, Plainfield has reinvented itself many times throughout its history. Plainfield - also known as "The Queen City" - is a cultural hub for people from a variety of backgrounds. The city's recent measures to bring residents together and revitalize downtown spaces give it a well-deserved buzz, while its comparatively low housing costs make it a great place to live. Those looking for Plainfield apartments for rent will want to research the city's different historic districts, as they all offer different experiences.
Plainfield is a city of many faces. Plainfield offers a one-hour commute to New York City, while acting as a separate and independent city. Plainfield's struggles through the past few decades have brought about restoration, revitalization and a wave of fresh-faced residents hoping to make a difference.
According to the city of Plainfield's website, about one-third of all Plainfield residents commute to work on a daily basis. New York City is a popular commute, but other residents make the trip to nearby towns like Piscataway, Elizabeth, Newark and Somerville.
Those searching for Plainfield apartments will be happy to note that an incredible 50 percent of all Plainfield residents live in renter-occupied homes, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The duCret School of the Arts, and the Muhlenberg Harold B. & Dorothy A. Snyder Schools of Nursing and Imaging are located in Plainfield. Union County College, Middlesex County College and Rutgers University are all located within 10 miles of the city. Plainfield is also home to Barack Obama Green Charter High School, one of the first sustainability-oriented charter high schools in the United States.
Many Plainfield residents commute to nearby communities or New York City for employment. Other residents own local businesses, work for small companies in the area or work with the local government and school districts.
Because 50 percent of households in Plainfield are renter-occupied, those searching for Plainfield rentals should have no problem finding a beautiful apartment home. According to U.S. Census data, the median gross rent in Plainfield was $1,101 in 2010.
Plainfield's proximity to New York City gives it a slightly high cost of living, registering 116.4, or, 16.4 percent higher than the national average. However, Plainfield's up-and-coming nature makes it a great investment opportunity, as its living costs are lower than those of neighboring cities. The cost of living in nearby Westfield and South Plainfield are 121 and 123.4, respectively.
Plainfield's historic Drake House Museum is the former home of the late Isaac Drake, an early patriot and Plainfield resident. Built in 1746, the home was the site of George Washington's personal meetings with his officers during and after the Battle of Short Hills. The museum displays colonial documents, historic artifacts and other Plainfield treasures.
The Plainfield Public Library is also a well-known attraction in the area. The library has won the Trustee Recognition Award, Gail Stern Award, Alice M. Leppert Award, Community Change Award and numerous public relations awards.

You may not have heard the news by now and that billionaire investor Warren Buffett and nothing to shareholders that he has early stage prostate cancer.
Buffett spoke to are very -- -- -- an earlier today and this is what he told her.
You don't have to worry at all because I am not worried this -- notes that -- does not interfere with anything I do.
Let's pretty mayor shields to Wayne -- as an analyst at -- -- and he covers Berkshire Hathaway mayor thanks for joining us.
Thanks for having me on obviously wish mr.
-- is speedy recovery but -- does -- impact of shares of Berkshire so far it.
How do you think the news I mean we've been talking about the lack the succession plan for succession plan for Berkshire kind of a while now cracked.
We have certainly I think what we're seeing today is a little bit of weakness the good news is that it doesn't appear like this is a serious medical problem.
You know mr.
Buffett's letter was pretty reassuring as far as that goes the bad news is that the market apparently does not like being reminded.
Of of Warren Buffett's mortality.
Well you know there was they said in the past that they have three potential successors within the company and that these people don't necessarily know who they are.
There's been some names bandied about I'd love for you to weigh in on that and a G Jane is one of hot Montrose Matthew Rose Tony nicely we're showing them our screener who do you think is the most likely successor.
I'd start by saying who knows -- they're gonna oversee the confidence I have in my own opinion but among that group -- at -- seat I think this skill set that he's got is the ability to say no.
And if I can paraphrase Warren Buffett himself he's got the ability to be fearful when others are greedy.
As we -- -- and others are fearful that the trick in the underwriting especially the large ticket items.
That bear -- we -- tends to underwrite.
So how do you think his track record would compared to Buffett's I mean would it be a -- on his take on hurt or not would abuse out.
What -- obviously but -- -- on valuation.
But the negativity is not so much a reflection on a seat at the fact that known as Warren Buffett he's got a unique reputation in the history of investing and as capable.
As his his successor is likely to be because remember they can pick from almost.
Anyone on the planet -- success is not going to be Warren Buffett.
Let's not let the holdings mayor expects US had any new major purchases another couple -- portfolio managers there Berkshire he expect -- advisor.
Maybe they'll unload some things -- the news impact any of this sort.
Is it basically business as usual.
I think it's business as usual the fact that this is insignificant from a -- -- perspective other than the reminder means that everything should continue status quo.
Okay Berkshire itself is underperforming the broader market by a couple of percentage points notably what's your outlook for Berkshire through the end of the year let's say it.
I think it.
Probably gonna perform in line maybe slightly below the the broader markets as the economy recovers.
A lot of purchase units to do better as well.
But we're at the point in time now when insurance company earnings are likely to come under look a little bit of pressure and purchase got obviously significant exposure both through -- into the reinsurance -- primary insurance operations.
So yeah we say in line to slightly below where the broader market -- -- -- thanks so much for your time -- your insights today.

Stained Glass Printed Leggings
Absolutely gorgeous leggings that took our breath away with their stained glass lion motifs in deep jewel tones.
Fiber Content: 92% polyester, 8% spandex
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
Sizing Tips: Previously available in three sizes, but these have been discontinued, so the small is all that remains! Get them fast, because when they're gone, that's it!
Small: Label says these fit folks 4'10" to 5'4" or 90-120 lbs. We thought they were a little loose on 36 inch hips and 19 inch thighs.
Encased elastic waistband, single seam at front and rear, with a large, comfortable gusset that isn't very visible. A single seam runs up the inside of each leg. The legs run pretty long, so folks with taller inseams should find that their ankles are still covered.
Additional Info: Made in China.
Hot Sox has a global code of corporate responsibility and works to ensure that they provide safe and healthy workplaces.
PLEASE NOTE: Please be aware that leggings, tights, and other products considered intimate wear are non-returnable once removed from their original packaging.
Label: Hot Sox
Hello, Any word on when you will restock with Medium or Large sizes? Thanks
You guys are always so amazing about sharing how different items fit on different bodies (which helps ensure happy customers!). I love your selection, and my friends always know that a Sock Dreams gift certificate never goes amiss as a gift in this household!
