My working life is that of a writer and social historian. I hold three university degrees: B.A. Phil., B.A. English (Hons.), and M.A. in Literature and Performance Studies in English. I am engaged in extensive study of, and ongoing work on, the history of Ireland. The principal focus of my work is Early 20th Century Irish Conflict, including the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence, and the involvement of Irish citizens who fought as members of the British forces during World War One. Although my focus is on the 20th century, I believe it is important to study early Irish History as well in order to understand what brought Ireland to the acme of independence in the 20th century.
With respect to family history, inspiration for this blog:
As the only Canadian born member of my Irish family, I often felt as though I lacked a history, that is until I decided to go looking for it. 'On a flesh and bone foundation': An Irish History tells the story of the search for my family across time, a search that has taken me across Ireland and into a history which includes my paternal grandmother, who risked her life as a member of Cumann na mBan (the women's branch of the IRA), her beloved brother, who was killed during the Irish War of Independence, my maternal grandmother who died when my mother was only five years old, and my maternal grandfather who defied church and state to keep his family together. In my family tree I've discovered both the glorious and the ignoble, the joyous and the heartbreaking.
As a social historian, my goal is to integrate the history of the family with the history of Ireland. Searching for and uncovering information about my own ancestors, learning about the kind of lives they led, and contextualizing those lives within the history of Ireland is absolutely thrilling for me. I principally conduct research in person in Ireland, but I have sites listed on my research aids page which are helpful when conducting family history research away from Ireland's shores.

LEBANON, IN (WAVE) - David Camm's eyes reddened as he watched two of his cousins choke up and weep openly Friday as they related how they learned that his wife and two young children had been shot to death at his home on September 28, 2000.
But what may have been more helpful to his defense is the witness jurors won't get to hear; Michael McDaniel, his lawyer for his first murder trial in 2002.
"What the first prosecutors did or did not do in the first trial has no bearing on this trial," Special Judge Jon Dartt told Camm's legal team. "It's prejudicial. I'm not allowing it."
McDaniel alleges that Stan Faith, the Floyd County Prosecutor at the time, lied to him when he asked whether testing of a sweatshirt found underneath the body of Camm's son turned up DNA from anyone other than Camm or the victims. McDaniel had told him the sweatshirt resembled those issued to inmates of the Indiana Department of Corrections.
"I met with (Faith) and told him about the word 'Backbone' written into the back collar," McDaniel continued. "I asked him to see whether DOC keep data on nicknames, but ultimately, the response was, no they don't."
McDaniel then had a private lab retest the sweatshirt, returning results from an "unidentified male."
"I asked (Faith) if he would run the DNA through CODIS, and he agreed to do that - no question," McDaniel told Dartt in a proof hearing out of the jury's presence.
CODIS, or Combined DNA Indexing System, is the FBI's national database that stores profiles of convicted felons. McDaniel told Dartt that about a week later Faith told him the database had turned up no matches.
Camm would have to wait almost 3 1/2 years – after an appellate court had overturned his first conviction and another prosecutor refilled charges – before learning that the DNA linked the sweatshirt to serial felon Charles Darnell Boney, a man whose DNA had been in the CODIS database since 1997.
"Knowing about Boney would have allowed us to shift our defense from 'some other person did it' to 'this person did it,'" McDaniel said.
"I didn't lie, and he knows I didn't lie to him," Faith told WAVE 3 News in a telephone interview Friday afternoon. "The idea that I would go into court not knowing whose (DNA) it might be when they (Camm's team) might know? I don't like to be ambushed."
Faith said McDaniel delivered the DNA findings to prosecutors less than three weeks before Camm's first trial Faith further added that state police investigators may have misunderstood which item clothing item he wanted checked through the DNA database.
Boney and Camm were tried separately for the murders of Camm's wife Kim, 35, son Bradley, 7, and daughter Jill, 5. Both were found guilty in 2006. Camm's second conviction was overturned on appeal. Boney is serving a 225 year sentence.
"You can't just say 'now is now and forget the past thirteen years,'" lead defense counsel Richard Kammen told Dartt. "The fact that these guys (current prosecutors) are third in line doesn't change the equation."
"You're not gonna argue me out of my ruling," said Dartt.
Though jurors won't hear them, McDaniel's allegations have become part of the record, citable as grounds for appeal should Camm be convicted a third time.
Faith told WAVE 3 News prosecutors first believed the sweatshirt belonged to Camm. He said the state police crime lab was unable to match fibers found on it to carpeting in Camm's house. Former lab technician Dan Letich told jurors Friday afternoon that he found "similarities" between the shirt fibers, and carpet cuttings he collected after prosecutors requested a retesting prior to Camm's second trial.
"But they didn't have you go to Charles Boney's house or (Boney's girlfriend) Mala Mattingly's house did they?" defense counsel Stacy Uliana said. "So your testimony in the second trial was not completely accurate."
"That's right," Letich said.
Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth was a state police crime scene investigator thirteen years ago. He was tasked with checking Camm's pickup truck for trace evidence. Oeth told jurors he found no signs of blood inside it, and that tests came back negative when he checked several spots on its exterior.
Philip Lockhart told jurors that found Camm leaning against the truck's tailgate, after his uncle, Nelson Lockhart, summoned family to the crime scene.
"(He) Camm fell to the ground and let out a loud scream," Lockhart said, choking back tears. "He was laying down in a fetal position."
Lockhart is Camm's first cousin, the son of Camm's uncle Sam Lockhart. Erik Minzenberger is a distant cousin, married to Philip's sister. Both men testified that they were among those with Camm at Georgetown Community Church the night of the murders.
Lockhart conceded that Camm might have been out of his sight for fifteen minutes of the 2 1/2 hours of basketball games in the church gym. Prosecutors have alleged that Camm had enough time to leave the gym, kill his family, and then return to establish his alibi.
Minzenberger admitted that he had researched blood-pattern evidence, even though he believed Camm couldn't have left the church gym without attracting attention.
"The supposed timeline then (for the killings) was after he played basketball," Minzenberger told prosecutors.
But now Lockhart and Minzenberger told jurors their support for Camm is unwavering.
"My wife and I, we've been called liars," Minzenberger said. "I wish there was a camera in the gym that could show he's here, and validate what we're saying."
The trial is in recess until Tuesday, October 8.

For the first half on Sunday, the high-flying Lions looked like they had fallen back to earth, had their bubble popped, heard the clock strike midnight and turned into a pumpkin. The Vikings jumped out to a 20-0 lead, prompting fans in Detroit to worry that the same ol' Lions had returned.
But you can't keep a duo like Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson bottled up for long, as the Vikings are quickly learning. Detroit has outscored Minnesota 17-0 after halftime, with Stafford and Johnson hooking up for a pair of touchdowns. Stafford now has 258 passing yards, finding Johnson four times for a total of 49 yards. Tight end Brandon Pettigrew is also having a banner day, catching eight passes for 91 yards.
Things could go from bad to worse for Minnesota, as the Lions just regained possession after Toby Gerhart was stuffed for no gain after the Vikings went for it on fourth-and-short. With a weapon like Adrian Peterson, who already has 82 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, it's a bit curious that Minnesota didn't give the ball to their No. 1 back.
For more on the Lions head over to Pride of Detroit. For more on the Vikings, check out Daily Norseman. Follow the rest of Week 3 of the regular season at SB Nation NFL.

"I'm Worried He's Going to Cheat on Me"
Her Turn
"I wish my husband didn't attract so much female attention," said Kim, 34, a part-time ER nurse and mother of Evan, 5, and Josh, 2, who's been married for nine years. "But I really wish I weren't so afraid he'll be unfaithful.
"Listen, I understand why women find Matt attractive: He's tall and muscular, with wavy black hair and intense green eyes. But what galls me is how indiscreet they are. They check him out as if I weren't there. Not long ago a waitress told Matt, 'You've got gorgeous bedroom eyes,' as she was taking our dinner orders. And last month, at a party, a guest whispered, 'Your husband's the hottest man I've ever seen.' Those remarks bug me, and depending on my mood, I either stare icily at the person or jokingly say, 'Enough already.' Matt's reaction is to smile, say thanks, and make small talk. He enjoys the attention, though he'd deny it.
"Matt has always been a babe magnet, though I was less bothered by it when we were first married. But he gets even more attention now -- not only is he more handsome at 35 than 25, but he has more charisma, probably because he's so successful in his business.
"The unfortunate result of all this is that I'm jealous and suspicious to the point where it's ruining our marriage. He insists he'd never have an affair, but my dad left my mom for another woman when I was in junior high. The fact that my college boyfriend was a chronic cheater only reinforced my sense that men are inherently unfaithful. So when gorgeous young strangers practically throw themselves at Matt, I have a hard time believing he'd never stray.
"I was raised in an affluent suburb of New York City, not far from where we live now. My parents didn't fight, but they showed no affection to each other. My mom was warm, but Dad was rather gruff with my sister and me. When I was 14 he left a note on the kitchen table saying he was unhappy and had moved out to 'get his head together.' Stunned and suspicious, Mom hired a private investigator, who discovered that Dad was living with another woman. When Mom broke the news, I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. Devastated by his deceit, I stopped speaking to Dad for many years; two decades later I still cannot forgive him, and our relationship remains chilly."

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Sci-FiA few days back, we heard the news of Green Lantern's love interest. Now, we've got his nemesis.
It looks like Peter Sarsgaard has joined Martin Campbell's comic book extravaganza, playing "...Dr. Hector Hammond, the pathologist son of a senator who is seen as a disappointment in his father's eyes. He becomes infused with psychic powers when he discovers a meteor." And of course, with psychic powers comes great irresponsibility and we'll surely be treated to a great deal of very expensive action and adventure as Hammond clashes with interstellar policeman/superhero, Hal Jordan, AKA, The Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds).
This is exciting news. Ever since the great, tragically overlooked Shattered Glass, I've kept my eye on Sarsgaard. He's not just a good actor, he's a great actor, someone who truly vanishes into his characters and constantly steals films away from his more famous co-stars. The thought of the soft-spoken and intense Sarsgaard going head to head with the brash and charming Ryan Reynolds in a superhero epic gets me giddy in all of the right ways.
Of course, now we get to ponder "What of Sinestro, the most famous of Green Lantern's limited Rogue's Gallery?" Any truth to the rumors that he'll be a good guy in the first film before going turncoat in the sequel? Who knows. In the meantime, let's rejoice in the Sarsgaard.

Hack Attack!
I've just seen a hack attack on a VPS server where the attack vector used a weakness of the PHP cgi connection to add a POST query string to a request which changed PHP settings and loaded and executed a mass-emailer script. I will not post the exploit (too easy for "script kiddies" to use) but you can save yourselves a lot of headaches if you use the SuPHP connector to PHP ... and STRONG passwords (http://strongpasswordgenerator.com) help, too!
As a reminder, keep your programs up to date as the updates generally contain security patches as well as new features.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - Art experts say they're not sure how the recent sale of a Norman Rockwell painting for a record $46 million could affect the value of "The Babysitter," a Rockwell painting that hangs in the University of Vermont's Fleming Museum.
Rockwell lived in Vermont from 1939 to 1953 and incorporated many of the state's people and places into his work. He gave "The Babysitter" to the Taft School after students asked for a painting to honor a classmate who died of leukemia.
The painting is appraised at $900,000, but museum director Janie Cohen told the Burlington Free Press she isn't sure it's worth more now than it was before the Sotheby's acution earlier this month, when six Rockwells fetched a total of nearly $60 million.

History of Africare in Somalia:
Africare began assisting Somalia in 1980, with emergency humanitarian aid to refugees and displaced persons — families who had fled, or been driven from, their homes in the Ogaden-region border conflict. As the fighting subsided, Africare was able to move from emergency aid to longer-term projects in food production and environmental management, helping both to develop local communities and to stabilize living conditions among hundreds of thousands of resettled refugees. Civil war again erupted in January 1991. Africare initially responded with emergency aid and later was able to resume development work to a limited extent. By December 1994, however, Africare had to completely withdraw from Somalia for security reasons.

Vermont is getting $6.3 million in federal Homeland Security grants to help the state develop prevention and preparedness programs to respond to acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy said the grants will come from two Homeland Security programs.
A $3.4 million homeland security grant will help support the implementation of strategies to plan, organize, train and equip first-responder agencies who would be called upon in the event of an act of terrorism or other disasters.
A second grant of just under $3 million will help Vermont and local governments prepare for disasters and hazards.MORE IN This Just InThe city is making free parking available for Sen. Jeffords' funeral. Full StoryPittsford seeks Full StoryAfter fire, city issues order to boil water Full Story

By ROBIN CAUDELL
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The Rev. Richard McAlear is one of more than 4,000 Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate who are said to "leave nothing undared in proclaiming the kingdom of God."
His ministry — offering hope, healing and love — can be experienced at St. Peter's Catholic Church today and Saturday.
Today, a special Healing Mass will be celebrated at 6:30 p.m. From 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, McAlear will lead a "Healing and Forgiveness Workshop/Holy Hour."
Founded in 1853, St. Peter's Church was staffed by the Oblate Priests of Mary Immaculate for its first 135 years.
In 1826, St. Eugene de Mazenod (1789-1861) founded the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in France. It is an international order of Roman Catholic priests and brothers "dedicated to bringing the Good News to the poor in nearly 60 countries worldwide."
McAlear, a Boston native, heard Oblates preach there in parish missions.
"They were always very dynamic and very impressive," said McAlear, who is based in Tewksbury, Mass. "No matter who I met, they impressed me."
He entered the religious order in 1960. After studying in Rome and receiving degrees in philosophy and theology, he was ordained there in 1970. He returned stateside to teach high school and earned a master's degree in religious education. He became involved in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in 1972 and entered into full-time healing ministry four years later. Since 1977, he has been a member of the Association of Christian Therapists.
McAlear's healing and teaching gifts attract invitations from around the world, but his 40-year healing ministry was a slow development.
"I noticed a lot of stuff, that people are hurting. The first one is cancer. You're praying for the cancer, but you're also praying for a very scared person, another element of the dimension that has to be included," McAlear said.
Today's Healing Mass is an opportunity for people to receive an individual blessing and prayer for healing.
While ministering to the sick, McAlear has discerned that there is also an element of forgiveness.
"Forgiving God because he made you sick, your husband who left you or your parent who didn't accept you; there's always these issues," McAlear said.
He will address these issues in the "Healing and Forgiveness Workshop/Holy Hour."
"I've circled the globe several times. There is always a psychological or spiritual component to healing. You have people who are sick. There are two things you are dealing with. You're dealing with the physical ailment and, at another level, you're dealing with the psychological thing," he said.
No matter the physical condition, the psychological aspects may leave a person scared, nervous or worried.
"There's a bunch of other stuff going on and that needs prayer, too," he said.
McAlear has prayed with and for tens of thousands of people in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Europe, Australia, New Guinea and these United States.
What is broken, what repeats itself the world over, is the need to forgive.
"They've been hurt, rejected, misunderstood ... fill in the blank; that has to be dealt with and prayed about," McAlear said. "It's all a part of the healing. You can't just say you have a headache. It's not the ailment. It's the person that's important. That's so important in all the teachings."
Email Robin Caudell:
firstname.lastname@example.com YOU GO WHO: The Rev. Richard McAlear of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. WHEN: Healing Mass will be celebrated at 6:30 p.m. today. "Healing and Forgiveness Workshop/Holy Hour" is from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday. WHERE: St. Peter's Catholic Church, 114 Cornelia St., Plattsburgh. CONTACT: 563-1692.

Bournemouth rider's electric bike tops 20mph
2:00pm Friday 27th April 2012 in News By Jim Durkin
THERE are a number of ways to combat today's spiralling petrol prices, but building your own electric chopper from scratch is certainly one of the more unusual.
Motorcycle enthusiast Nigel Bryant knows all about surviving economic uncertainty.
The former technical officer at Bournemouth University's School of Conservation Sciences was made redundant two years ago, aged 53.
"But I wanted to turn this setback into something positive," he explained.
"Hence the idea of building an electric bicycle from scratch."
Now the eco-friendly chopper takes pride of place next to Nigel's Harley Davidson, but it is considerably cheaper to run.
"Despite its radical appearance, the bike turned out to be very comfortable and surprisingly easy to ride," said Nigel.
The chopper, with a top speed of 20mph and a range of 20 miles, is powered by a lithium-ion battery, hidden away in one of the panniers.
It only takes a couple of hours to fully charge the battery from the mains.
Nigel said: "With petrol becoming ever more expensive, an eco-friendly means of transport made perfect sense."
The 55-year-old, from Haymoor Road, Poole, even learned how to weld for the project.
He designed and built the frame himself and, although some specialist components were needed, the entire bike, costing £1,000, progressed from an idea to a reality in just one year.
Nigel said: "My initial test rides around Poole have prompted very enthusiastic reactions from onlookers of all ages.
"Ranging from the simplest cries of 'cool bike' to lengthy conversations about small details of the build, these great interactions with complete strangers enhance every ride.
"I now look forward to spending my newly-enforced retirement riding around the beautiful Dorset countryside in the sunshine, rather than just wasting my life away behind a desk."

TOLEDO (WTOL) - Having a yard sale is the first thing that comes to mind when wanting to get rid of unwanted junk, but selling your things on the Internet may be more profitable.
Michael Jinks, a garage sale veteran, said too many people give away stuff at yard sales that may be rare. He said people should research possibly rare items on eBay or similar sites before selling them cheap at yard sales.
If you don't feel comfortable selling items online, estate selling services can do it for you. Some companies will catalog your old things and sell it for you.
However, Jinks said selling big bulky items is best to do at yard sales because you lose your profit in shipping.

Ten different Ducks ended up on the scoresheet, as they finally earned a second win under Bruce Boudreau and (for now) climbed out of the basement of the Western Conference with a 4-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes. The loss for Phoenix extends its losing streak to three games and puts the Coyotes at 5-3-2 against Pacific Division opponents this year.
Coming into the match, the Coyotes lost four out of their last six games, with Mike Smith struggling as well after both started the year so well. Twice already, however, the Coyotes defeated the Ducks this season, and Smith had a 5-0-1 record against Anaheim with a 2.00 goals against average. With the Ducks still failing to find a second victory with Boudreau, this seemed like the type of game Phoenix could use to get back on track.
Yet, as Jonas Hiller remained sharp all night, the Ducks continued to win battles in the offensive zone and learned to regroup when the momentum was no longer in their control, ultimately earning them the win. It also helped to have offensive-defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky back in the lineup with an assist on the first goal after missing 13 games with a broken finger.
After new addition Rod Pelley scored in the first period and Niklas Hagman scored on the power play early in the second, Martin Hanzal took advantage of the Coyotes' own power play opportunity, scoring on Phoenix's first shot of the second period. With the lead cut in half and Phoenix earning more chances, normally one could expect Anaheim to give up yet another lead.
The Ducks regained the momentum, though, and gave themselves a huge boost as Hagman made a great play with 1:04 left in the period to get from behind the net in time for the pass from Corey Perry to put away his second goal of the night:
Anaheim topped off the victory 3:30 into the final period with a goal from Kyle Palmieri and held the three-goal lead for the 4-1 win -- just in time for their five-game road trip featuring three other division opponents.
Time to gain ground for the Ducks? I think so.

When I got Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (from now on called HoMM3), I barely heard anything about it. When I got to play it, I was immediately hooked. I never thought that a fantasy TBS game could be this much fun - and none has taken its place in my heart.
HoMM3 is a masterpiece. It is fun (lots of it), well balanced, and there's plenty of things to do, and tactics to learn. Combatread more is great, exploring is always rewarding, and it's challenging enough to make you never let your guard down. It's fantastically well designed, and it brings that whole "just one more turn" vibe that is the mark of the greatest turn-based strategy games.
But what won me, above all things, is the attention to detail. In the overland map, if you pass by a fountain, you can hear the water flowing. Music changes dinamically with the terrain, creatures are well drawn and animated, and the cities make you feel like you are there. It draws you in like no other TBS game, in a way that makes everything feel more "personal". You play the game, and you keep thinking about it when you stop playing - and all the while, there's always some detail you never noticed, some new tactic to explore, one more hero to develop, one more turn to play.
The expansions add some nice features to the whole package - a new town type (bringing the city types to 9), new heroes, artifacts, creatures, a good random map generator, and enough campaigns to keep you busy for a long time.
For all that, HoMM3 is in my top list of favorite games ever - and, most likely, will be in yours too, if you're even remotely interested in a good TBS game. Make yourself a favor and get it - it is as good as it gets.

I think over the years I've spent $100+ on various HoMM3 games/expansions...and here I am buying it again (I'm playing on a netbook, and having a digital copy makes it so much easier than my physical copies).
I joined Good Old Games to buy HoMM3.

I've always been a bit hostile towards fantasy games. Mention a magical kingdom and I'll look at you with pity. Show me an elf and my first instinct is to punch it in the mouth. And I'd sooner vomit than meet a King with a made-up name. Sorry about that.
The thing is, with HOMM3, none of that matters. It's just a brilliant game - irrespective of the setting. Yes, there are variousread more exotic beasts. Yes, there's a magical fantasy kingdom. So what? it's perfect as it is.
Here's something I just made up: the three tests of quality for a turn-based game. The first is indecision. Do you move here, or there? Should you attack this army, or that one? If a game's really balanced well, then you're always making choices. And you're never sure you've made the right ones. HOMM3's like that.
The next test: is there enough variety? Yes; the campaigns are interesting and there's plenty of 'em. And finally: do you keep going back for one more turn? Oh yes. Yes, yes, yes.
So I like it then? Guess so. It's the best in the series, and it's so well designed that even a fantasy-hater like me is forced to have fun. Even if it does have kings with made-up names in it.

We kind of had bad luck in the dining room. We got two brand new servers, that were still a little green. We had to ask for many items two or three times, and they always seem to be in much more of a hurry then servers on past cruises. In contrast, our head waiter was fabulous. It really pays to get to know your head waiter well. They have the power to make things happen.
After serving us decaf coffee, after dinner, every night, the assistant waiter managed to serve us regular coffee On the very last night. I was wondering why I felt so perky at midnight, but started to feel the real joy when I could not sleep all night as I Was thinking about the 18 Hour drive ahead of me!! This also happened to us, on the Freedom, two years ago, but fortunately, it was not on the last day. Please excuse my yelling in the next sentence. ROYAL CARIBBEAN, SPEND THE EXTRA NICKEL AND BUY THE COFFEE CARAFES WITH ORANGE LIDS FOR THE DECAF COFFEE!!!
Ricky, the cruise director, was so-so, in our opinion, but Patricio, Activities director, was very good. I hope he gets Promoted to be a cruise director soon.
We really enjoyed meeting the Santos, and fam planner families, On board the ship. Our daughter, Lexi, did quite a few activities with their kids and also had a lot of fun. Also, we never got your names, but we really enjoyed the company of the Cruise critic family we met at the stingray beach encounter.
All in all, we had a great time, and would do it again, but we will never order coffee in the dining room again!
Cruiser Lou and family.

Really nice. Great quality through and through. Nicer than I expected. Fits well and easily adjustable to fit most any head size.
Hello; I recently ordered the New Finnish Military Surplus Gas Mask with Bag which came with one filter. So I also ordered the 2-Pk. of New Draeger German-made Gas Mask Filters. The German Filters do not fit the Finnish gas mask, however they do fit the Israeli gas mask so I'll be happy to keep them. But I still would like to have extra gas mask filters for the two Finnish gas masks. Do you have these filters? The par the screws to the mask is much larger than the German filters..!!!
