This officer should have been fired a long time ago. He was given plenty of opportunity to change his behavior. Additionally, a history of lying makes me wonder how often he has lied in court. If he was testifying against me in court, I'd be sure to point out his history of lying. When I saw his name, I thought this was going to be another of those 'race-card' claims. He deserves to be fired. I

I expect this cop will get reinstated. It's a crying shame that in California we cannot fire a police officer who commits misconduct, for example, the Menlo Park cop who was caught with a prostitute. The police unions have their secret weapon: binding arbitration. The arbitrator won't go against the cops, since they want to continue to get hired at very high rates the next time a cop commits misconduct and a city tries to rid itself of him. This includes ex San Mateo county judges who serve as arbitrators. It really doesn't matter who the arbitrator is; the monetary incentive is there. There is simply NO valid reason these cops as well as other municipal employees shouldn't have to go to court to litigate their grievances. It's not a perfect system, to be sure, but is much better than this sham arbitration.
Multiple cases of lying to his superior? We all know in the private sector it would take only one such occurrence to cement a lawful firing. This racket has to stop.

Science Majors and Chemistry Professor Travel to Budapest for Research Project
Eötvös Loránd University
1 of 2
Dr. Timothy Peelen, associate professor of chemistry, has spent the last 12 months on sabbatical teaching and researching in the organic chemistry field in Budapest, Hungary at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). Assisting him with research at ELTE this summer are Lebanon Valley students Tai Nguyen '14 and Rachel Denny '14.
While Dr. Peelen has taught some courses at ELTE, he has primarily been engaged in research with Dr. Zoltán Novák. "It has been a perfect fit for me," says Peelen. "Novák is a young professor working in organometallic chemistry, which is slightly different from the chemistry that I do at LVC. He's been a really great colleague and has a really active and dynamic research group."
The research that Peelen has been conducting involves the efficient conversion of light energy, such as sunlight, to other forms of energy. "The best illustration of this concept from nature is photosynthesis in plants; the plant uses chlorophyll (an organic molecule) to absorb light from the sun and, through complex chemical pathways, stores that energy through the synthesis of sugar molecules.
"Similarly, a branch in solar cell technology (dye-sensitized solar cells – DSSC) uses dye molecules to capture sunlight and transfer the energy to a semiconductor material, ultimately generating electrical energy. The light-absorbing dyes are colored molecules, meaning they absorb some part of visible light. Our proposed work approaches the chemical challenge of getting dye molecules to take the light energy that they absorbed and use it to initiate chemical reactions (as opposed to storing the energy as electricity). The reactions we propose to do are nowhere near as complex as the ones nature uses in photosynthesis, but the principles are the same. As a starting point, there are a large number of dyes available for study – preparation of dyes for solar cell applications has really exploded in recent years; though application of these dyes to chemical processes is currently less advanced."
Nguyen decided to join Peelen in Hungary after working in his organic chemistry summer research group in 2012. "Before the school year ended, 'Dr. P' already had his one year sabbatical planned to research in Hungary and approached me after class one day asking if I would be interested in being part of the first international summer research group," Tai recalls. "He also mentioned that he received an Arnold Grant that would cover the cost of our flight and room and board so from there on I knew I couldn't pass up this type of opportunity."
The research that Nguyen has been working on took place over six weeks. "The main focus of my research was around a family of highly conjugated benzothiazole dyes (referred to 'clickable dyes'). The reason of interest in these dyes is because they are fluorescent probe molecules that can be incorporated into or attached to biomolecules to make a tracer. My project was to make different benzothiazole dyes with different substituents (electron-withdrawing, electron-donating, at different positions on the ring) to add to a pre-existing library. The most important thing was that the method of synthesizing these dyes would have to be fast and efficient."
Psychobiology major Rachel Denny '14 says she leapt at the opportunity to travel to Hungary, where she has been working on discovering a new photocatalyzed reaction. "It was such an amazing opportunity that I had to say yes," she says. "I love traveling, seeing new things, and experiencing different cultures." She especially enjoyed attending a conference in the Hungarian town of Balaton—"Going to a chemistry conference in mostly Hungarian was really interesting," she said—and experiencing the various festivals and other activities of a vibrant European city. Denny found herself especially challenged by the language, though she quickly learned enough to get by.
"It was pretty easy to immerse into the culture," Nguyen said. "Most of the people were very friendly toward us and very generous, with the most social people being those that were more fluent in English. For the most part, while we were out in the city, most people could speak some English so we were never really too lost and stranded."
Peelen's sabbatical has not been all work either. His three children, Daniel, age 8; Panka (Anna), age 6; and Matthew, age 3, have been immersed in the language and culture of Hungary. "My wife was born and raised in Budapest, and only came to the United States for graduate school, where we met. While we had visited Hungary frequently for vacations, neither the children nor I were fluent in Hungarian. I still probably cannot claim to be fluent, but the children certainly can. Daniel, who is in second grade, and Panka, who is in pre-school, since there is no kindergarten, both went to school here and assimilated very well. Even little Matthew has recently started using Hungarian words that I have yet to encounter."
"My favorite part of the experience was just being indulged in a new environment," Nguyen said. "It's always fun when you try things for the first time and being in Hungary it was a new life. We had the opportunity to meet new people, travel to new places, drink new drinks, eat new foods, and just experience everything for the first time ever again."
Peelen will return to life at the Valley this fall, where he will resume teaching organic chemistry to 70 LVC students. Denny plans to pursue a doctorate in pharmacology after graduation this spring, and Nguyen has his sights set on dental school.
Peelen, Nguyen, Denny, and Peelen's wife, Dora, have been chronicling their experience through the "American in Budapest" blog.

Lunchtime links: Guess what the Astros did that no team has accomplished in 24 years?
Just about every day in the major leagues is strange in some way. The Astros' contribution to that strangeness Thursday was to knock the Cincinnati Reds from the unbeaten ranks. The Astros were winless before Matt Downs doubled home the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and Brandon Lyon got the final three outs of […]

Very quiet clean hotel.Very friendly staff members.
Very nice room. Beautiful common area.I forgot my Tervis Tumbler in the refrigerator and when I called the hotel they offered to send it back to me. I appreciate the extra mile!
Nothing that I can think of.
Nice indoor pool. Friendly staff
The staff as well as the hotel had everything I look for.
They have their own restaurant.
Nice location. Nice hotel.really good breakfast.
Everything good
It needs some basic upkeep. Lamp shades torn etc...
As soon as you enter the hotel smells like cigarettes, a lot.
Early check out time - 11am! Horrible supplies in bathroom, Uncomfortable bed.
It was conveniently located with a generally up to date interior (nicer than the exterior) & friendly service desk staff & delicious breakfast with more friendly staff.
I disliked that even though the front desk sign clearly stated check out was at 12PM, we had housekeeping wrapping on our door at 9:15AM to see if the room was ready to be cleaned. Seeing that I was still dressing she turned and began knocking on the neighboring doors. Only half the room lighting worked & the bathroom floor was covered in dirty shoe prints.
Great staff, very responsive and made sure I was comfortable. I like the fridge and microwave in the room. I was in town for a wedding and guests who stayed in other hotels didnt have that option for leftover food.
Could have had more selection for the breakfast spread
we went into the room and there was amokey smell and we went to the desk to trade rooms and the attendant was very nice and changed our room
It was close to the place that I needed to go
Shower curtain flimsy, room not arranged very well, no room to move. Mike wave didn't have enough power, coffee maker was broken initially, even though we were given a new one. The overall appearance of the room is very dark. The heating and air did work
The location and amenities.
The staff was rude, lacked basic etiquette and outright unprofessional.
The service was really great. Their breakfast options were really nice, I wasn't expecting such a variety. The rooms were clean and comfortable!
The hotel appeared dated and my wife felt the sheets hadn't been changed.
Uodated room almost nice enough to rival 3.5 star hotel - totally impressed and Im VERY hard to please
Cleanliness and polite staff
Too many unsupervised children in the pool
The room was spacious and the parking was nice and the front desk were nice.
the rooms smelled a little weird. I am not sure if that was smoking smell or something else. Didnt expect for a 3 star hotel.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Marriage, nondiscrimination bills likely on hold this year, GOP leaders say
SALT LAKE CITY — Bills related to marriage and nondiscrimination laws appear headed for the shelf this year at the Utah Legislature.
Majority Republican leaders in the Senate and House said they don't want to consider any legislation that could hurt the appeal of a federal court ruling that struck down the state's voter-approved constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, said the Utah Attorney General's Office has talked to GOP leaders about proposed legislation.
"The attorney general's office is not directing this, but has said there might be some things we should avoid or do in this process that will help create a more fair adjudication of our appeal," he said.
Niederhauser said after speaking with Republican leaders in the House on Tuesday, that there's a "strong possibility" that marriage-related bills would be put on hold.
House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, agreed that it might be best for lawmakers not to deal with issues related to Amendment 3 this session.
"I think you'll find a lot of agreement in terms of where we go from here and the strategy," Lockhart said. "I would say we're leaning toward standing pat, if you will, letting the courts handle it."
The speaker said that would include religious freedom and antidiscrimination legislation.
Lockhart said she already has talked to a couple of House members who hoped to carry bills related to the case and told them she wants to see "the right thing" done for the Legislature and the state.
House Republicans are scheduled to talk about religious liberty and nondiscrimination bills in a caucus meeting Thursday.
Rep. Jacob Anderegg, R-Lehi, has proposed a law and a resolution for a constitutional amendment that would exempt clergy from having to marry gay couples if that goes against their religious teachings. But neither HJR1 nor HB231 may be debated this year.
"If I'm reading the tea leaves correctly, we're likely not going to do anything on them, all of them, including nondiscrimination," Anderegg said. "My gut feeling is that leadership, along with the (attorney general's) office is worried about fueling the fire going into the defense on Amendment 3. They don't want to add any enmity."
Sen. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, said his bill for a statewide nondiscrimination law has nothing to do with marriage. It would prohibit discrimination in the workplace and housing based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Senate Majority Leader Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe, said he doesn't know if there is a conflict with the court case and the anti-bias measure going forward.
"It may be more a matter of rhetoric," Okerlund said, adding it hasn't been decided whether SB100 will be heard this year. "I really believe that the rhetoric that goes along with the discussion of that bill may affect what happens in the courts, and we want to make sure that isn't the case."
Niederhauser added that the proposal "brings up the question of freedom of religion, so that's the conflict."
Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Ogden, has drafted three bills that he said would protect individual religious conscience rights, require religious freedom instruction in public schools, and establish an alternative nondiscrimination law. Only SB151 requiring schools to teach about religious freedom has come out.
Also Tuesday, Rep. Merrill Nelson, R-Grantsville, unveiled a bill to create a marriage defense fund. HB78 would allow people to contribute to the fund on their state income tax return starting this year.
Laura Bunker, president of United Families International, said she sees the wisdom in putting the bills on hold pending the outcome of the court case. Her group supports those seen as protecting religious liberties but opposes the statewide nondiscrimination measure.
"The first priority is defending our marriage amendment," Bunker said. "We don't want to muddy the waters."

At the Penfolds Nuriootpa winery in Barossa, you can crush 22,000 tons of grapes. At Chateau Ste.-Michelle, 2.8 million cases of wine go out the door every year. If you are Peter Gago or Bob Bertheu, head winemakers at Penfolds and Ste.-Michelle, respectively, how do you even process and track so much stuff, let alone make it good?
"That's why God created Microsoft Excel, I guess," replied Bertheu. I asked four winemakers who head up large-to-massive operations that produce dozens of different cuvées in all price ranges, from $10 quaffers on up to the storied $600 Penfolds Grange. In my previous post on the subject, I gave a sense of the scale of the task and wrote about how the four keep tabs on their growers and grapes through harvest. Now I'll explain how they juggle as many as 52 different wines at once.

"Do you think it is more difficult to produce 5,000 bottles of La Mouline or 3.5 million bottles of Côtes du Rhône?" Philippe Guigal had flipped the script on me during a recent interview to pose a query of his own.
It's kind of a trick question: The Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline is a $500 bottle of wine. The reputation of the house is staked on this wine and its two single-vineyard sisters.
That is, among those lucky enough to sample them. But to most people who drink the brand, "Guigal" means a $10 Côtes du Rhône, and it has to be tasty at every party or Tuesday dinner or they'll choose something else. How do you oversee millions, or even tens of millions, of bottles, for every kind of wine drinker, year in and year out, without losing your grip on consistency and quality? I asked that of four guys whose wines you undoubtedly know: They are, in addition to Guigal in the Rhône, Corey Beck, Bob Bertheu and Peter Gago, head winemakers at Francis Ford Coppola in California, Chateau Ste.-Michelle in Washington and Penfolds in Australia.

Kingsley Amis, writing in 1972's On Drink, relayed a recipe for a concoction he had heard to be "Queen Victoria's Tipple." Ingredients: 1/2 tumbler red wine, Scotch. "The quantity of Scotch is up to you, but I recommend stopping a good deal short of the top of the tumbler," cautioned Amis. "Worth trying once," cringed the author, who in the same pages recommends waking up to a shot of tequila in one hand and one of tomato juice in the other.
I asked Logan Leet, winemaker at River Bend Winery in Kentucky, whose signature Bourbon Barrel Red is given a brief spin through used bourbon barrels, if he had ever heard of this kind of abomination in Louisville. "Most people like to keep their wine and their bourbon separate, by and large," he assured me.

"The VCR changed everything, because it's the first time in history that kids knew how to do something their parents didn't," declared Tyler Balliet, the founder of Wine Riot. VCRs explain Millennial wine habits, he contended as we talked over beers (there would be time for wine later, at the Riot), because the generation between 21 and 34 doesn't need to take purchasing cues from the tastes of elders or "authorities." No one online lacks for information coming at them on every platform, from Twitter to ads in their own inboxes. "All other generations are information seekers; we're information sorters."
Balliet's company Second Glass began Wine Riot in Boston in 2008 when he was 28; by the end of this year, the traveling circus of a walkaround tasting will have stopped at six cities: Boston, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, New York and L.A. He now reaches 15,000 drinkers annually through the Riot—virtually all under the age of 40. Among the habits of Millennial drinkers nationwide, one is the thirst for education. Another is the draw of wine at a younger age than earlier generations felt it. The third is a greater open-mindedness to wines from all places, all grape varieties.
So you have a huge, growing segment of drinkers who supposedly don't trust ads, don't care about reviews, don't know much but are eager to learn, and would rather do so by hopping around the world of wine than picking a favorite Cali Cab and sticking with it. How do you market to these crazy people?

Before becoming a vintner, Rajeev Samant struggled for more than three years to get a license to put down vines. Finally, he persuaded alcohol-suspicious authorities that the ability to grow vinifera in the region was "a gift from the gods." A novice grower, he had no idea what to plant and where, and once he decided on Sauvignon Blanc, he had no idea if his grapes would ripen—no idea if they would even bear fruit.
15 years later, India is poised to become one of the world's most important wine markets.

Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, the American Red Cross opened five emergency shelters Monday in anticipation of widespread power outages from Hurricane Sandy.
With relatively light rainfall and winds, turnout at two of the shelters, at GAR Memorial High School and Luzerne County Community College, was light as of 4:30 p.m. Officials expected occupancy to increase significantly in the evening, when the brunt of the storm was expected to hit the Wyoming Valley.
It really depends on if there are widespread power outages or if the creeks and streams go over, said GAR High School Principal Colleen Robatin as she stood inside the school's empty gymnasium at around 2 p.m.
Charles Thomas, 53, of Wilkes-Barre, was the sole storm refugee in the shelter at that time. He still had power at his home, but decided to go to the shelter as a precaution.
My apartment's all electric, he said. You can't take a chance.
In Nanticoke, Red Cross volunteers set up about 50 cots, with another 50 on standby, inside the gymnasium at LCCC. Two other rooms were being set up to handle cats, dogs and other pets by volunteers with the American Humane Association.
Tracy Speelhoffer traveled from Silver Springs, Md., to join several other AHA volunteers in readying the rooms for the pets. The volunteers are specially trained to handle pets' physical and emotional needs, she said.
Storms can have a big impact on an animal's demeanor. They pick up more than people think, Speelhoffer said. They're not used to this environment.
The Red Cross has made a concerted effort to make shelters pet friendly, said volunteer Jenn Kruppo of Nanticoke.
A lot of people won't leave if they can't take their pets, she said
Four-year-old Mackenzie Doris of Plymouth was oblivious to all the preparations going on around her at the shelter as she played dress up with her Halloween costume.
We're having a party! she exclaimed as she pranced around in her princess costume, then sat down to watch some cartoons.
Lori Hulse was among four Red Cross volunteers who helped set up the LCCC site. She had assisted the agency at a shelter Dallas during last September's flooding, and was hopeful she would not see a repeat of that experience.
I was there for four days non-stop, she said. I don't think I ever stopped, but it was so rewarding. You really have people come together during disasters.
The Red Cross also set up shelters at the Wyoming Area Secondary School in Exeter, Dallas Middle School in Dallas Township and Tunkhannock Area High School in Tunkhannock.
The shelters were expected to remain open through at least Tuesday and possibly into Wednesday or later, depending on the amount of storm damage.

Real Irish Magic Versus Plastic Shamrocks and Green Beer.
Will you be wearing green next Saturday?
Next Saturday in my town, Fort Collins, Colorado, tens of thousands of people will hit the streets for the annual St. Patrick's┬ĀDay Parade.┬ĀOver a million people immigrated to the U.S.┬Āfrom┬ĀIreland in the mid to late 1800's and most of them, being good Catholics,┬Āhad huge families. Today, 36.9 million American's (including myself)┬Āclaim Irish ancestry. This number is more than eight times the population of Ireland itself (4.5 million).
But is all this really an expression of Irish heritage and cultural pride or simply an excuse to be drunk by noontime? And what is the connection between plastic shamrocks, green beer and the ancient, mystical, culture of the Irish people? OK, I do admit that's me in the picture with the fake tam and orange wig,┬Āalong with my friend Richard who is very comfortable with his Leprechaun identified lifestyle, but┬Āwe were merely┬Ādoing research on this phenomena┬Ā(that's my story and I'm sticking with it)!
To find out what this "Irish Thing" is all about I traveled around Ireland in 2009, along with my cousin, Sandy. We visited ruined castles,┬ĀFaery Raths, holy wells and other ancient sites in search of evidence that old ways and Ireland's famed supernatural beings, Faeries, Leprechaun's┬Āand Pookas┬Āstill exist. We started in Dublin and headed west to County Roscommon, in Connacht, a place once brimming with "the host of the Siddhe."
We were fortunate to stumble across Cruachan┬ĀA├Ł┬Āor Rathcroghan by "coincidence" if such a thing could be said to exist in Ireland. Rathcroghan┬Āis one of the most significant cultural sites in Ireland (if not the world). It is the ancient royal seat of Connacht, the western portion of Ireland, where the legendary Warrior Queen Mabd┬Ā(Maeve)┬Āonce ruled.
Queen Maeve is an example of feminine power in ancient Irish culture and a┬Ācentral figure in the famous t├Īin┬Āb├│┬Āc├║ailnge,┬Āa┬Ālegendary cycle about Connacht's cattle raid on Ulster. Briefly, the story is that Maeve,┬Āthe hereditary ruler of Connacht, was talking with her husband one day about all the┬Āwealth that she possessed. Maeve's┬Āhusband claimed that┬Āhe was even wealthier┬Āthan┬Āher. They counted up all of their possessions┬Āand it turned out that Maeve's husband had one bull more than┬Āthe Queen. Not to be outdone (and really pissed off!) Maeve┬Āinvaded Ulster to steal a famous brown bull and even up the score.
At the Cruachan┬ĀA├Ł┬ĀHeritage Centre we learned about┬ĀOweynagat, the Cave of the Cats,┬Āthe entrance to the Celtic Underworld, and by "coincidence" we stumbled upon┬Āthe site later on that afternoon. This site is said to be the dwelling place of┬Āthe Morrighan, protector of the underworld, and has a strong association with the┬Āancient Celtic holy day of Samhain, November 1st, the source of the modern day Halloween.
Nearby, I noticed a┬Āsign that said Rath Beag and was reminded of the famous Irish tune, Si Beag Si More, composed by the blind harper, Turlough┬ĀO'Carolan. The words of the song (now lost) tell the story┬Āof a battle between the Faeries of the "big hill" and the Faeries of the "little hill". Rumor has it, "O'Carolan slept upon a┬ĀFaery Rath (hill).┬ĀEver after the tunes ran in his head┬Āand made him the great musician he was".
After Rathcroghan┬Āwe visited Ogulla┬ĀWell (Cliabach) where, as legend has it,┬ĀEithne┬Āand Fidelma, daughters of King Laoghaire┬Āof Tara┬Āwere┬Ābaptised by St. Patrick himself.┬ĀThe Kings daughters were accompanied by Druids from the nearby┬Āmystery school of Cashelmanann├Īin.
At the time that we visited there had been some controversy over the Catholic Priests at Ogulla┬ĀWell cutting down the hawthorn bushes (known to be the habitation of the Faeries.)
By that time we got there┬Āwe were so pixie-lated┬Āfrom our visit┬Āto Rathcroghan┬Āthat we wondered if a one-eye dog┬Āthat we met at Ogulla┬ĀWell was a transformed┬Āmanifestation of Balor,┬Āthe giant one-eyed king of the┬ĀFomorians, who could kill┬Āwith just a look from┬Āhis bloodshot eye.
But, like most of the animals we met in Ireland,┬Āhe was actually very gentle.┬ĀThen we headed north to Sligo, a┬Āplace whose Faery lore┬Āwas made famous by the writings of William Butler Yeats.
W.B.Yeats, 1865-1939,┬Āprovides a literary link to┬ĀIreland's┬Āpast. In some of his earliest writings Yeats documented the Irish mythology and folklore with which he┬Āwas intimately┬Āacquainted,┬Āduring his childhood, in the Sligo countryside. Throughout his lifetime,┬Āthe┬Āreference to Irish mythology remained┬Āa continuous┬Ātheme Yeats' writing.
"Everyone is a visionary, if you scratch him deep enough" said Yeats┬Ā"but the Celt, unlike any other, is a visionary without scratching.ŌĆØ
Inspired by the British┬Āoccultist, Aleistor Crowley, and The┬ĀGolden Dawn,┬ĀYeats made some attempt to create┬Āa Neo-Irish Tradition,┬Ācalled The Celtic Dawn,┬Āalong with, Maud Gonne,┬Āa wealthy army officer's daughter.┬ĀYeats'┬Āfamously unrequited love for Maud Gonne is source of much poetry. Maud, herself, was a lifelong┬Āfighter for Irish independence.
In the poem Who Goes┬Āwith Fergus, Yeats exhorts is countrymen (in particular the young) to take pride in their┬ĀIrish identity. The poem refers to King Fergus who abdicated rulership in order┬Āto become a Druid, ponder nature's mysteries, and compose poetry.
Who will go drive with Fergus now,
And pierce the deep wood's woven shade,
And dance upon the level shore?
Young man, lift up your russet brow,
And lift your tender eyelids, maid,
And brood on hopes and fear no more.
And no more turn aside and brood
Upon love's bitter mystery;
For Fergus rules the brazen cars,
And rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars.
In the forward to Gods and Figthing┬ĀMen: The Story of the Tuatha┬Āde Danaan and the Fianna┬Āof Ireland by Lady Gregory Yeats writes..
One often hears of a horse that shivers with terror, or a dog that howls at something a man's eyes cannot see, and men who live primitive lives where instinct does the work┬Āof reason are fully conscious┬Āof┬Āmany things we cannot perceive at all. As life becomes more orderly, more deliberate, the supernatural world sinks farther away.
In the chapter,┬ĀA Remonstrance With The Scotsmen For Having Soured The┬ĀDisposition Of Their Ghosts And Faeries, from┬ĀThe Celtic Twilight, Yeats humorously chides the Scots for their "gloominess" and┬Ācelebrates┬Āthe natural affection the Irish have for┬Ātheir┬Āsupernatural┬Ābeings. "For their gay and graceful doings" say's Yeats┬Ā"you must go to Ireland; for their deeds of terror, to Scotland."┬ĀIn the same volume Yeats (pre-emptively) defends belief in the supernatural
"When all is said and done how do we not know but that our┬Āunreason┬Āmay be better than another's truth for it has been warmed┬Āon our hearths and in our souls and is ready for the wild bees of truth to hive in to and make their sweet honey. Come into the world again wild bees, wild bees!
Upon the arrival of Christian missionaries in Ireland┬Ānot one was┬Āmartyred by the Irish. In fact, many┬Āof the early saints, such as┬ĀColumkille,┬Āwere actually Druids.┬ĀLikewise, when Christianity gained control in Ireland┬Āno "Witches" were persecuted. The results┬Āof this was an unusual (in Europe) hybrid of Christianity and┬Ānature reverence,┬Āas evidence by these offerings left by local people┬Āat a holy well in Western Ireland.
It is believed┬Āthat the Tuatha┬Āde Danaan, Ireland's divine inhabitants, who existed before the coming of the Gael,┬Āhave become diminutive because┬Āof the┬Ālack of attention given┬Āto them in latter┬Ātimes. It is said that they fought a battle in which the victor would decide how Ireland would be divided.┬ĀWhen they lost the victors said "we will take the half that is above the ground and you shall have that which is below ground".┬ĀBut it is also said┬Āthat they live there still and ride out on certain nights of the year.
Could it be that this is what we're actually after? Do those of us who are the rootless children of children of immigrants long for this link with our own "primitive past." Do we long to become enchanted by the hypnotic drone of those "wild bees" and ride with the shining hosts of the Siddhe across a wild and undying landscape, or dwell with the Faeries beneath a grassy┬Āhillside?
This┬Āof course is silly unless you actually believe that┬Āthere are (or ever were)┬Ānature's little people,┬Āplaying and sleeping, wild and ever free,┬Ābeneath this paved,┬Āsubdued and weary Earth.
Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a Faery, hand in hand. For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

Fantastic article. Thanks!
interesting!! I can't wait to go to ireland!!
I am from Co. Roscommon, from within a few km's of those very places you write about! This article makes me very home sick today as I read it here in Vancouver, Canada.
I am curious as to why you went to Co. Roscommon – despite its treasure trove of historical and mythical places such as this and it also being home to the National Famine Museum, and one finest palladian mansions in Ireland; Roscommon is not exactly a tourist destination!
Sligo has some of the most amazing scenery in Ireland, with the towering Benbulben sweeping impressivly up behind Yeats final resting place, not to mention the great surfing beaches, and (allegedly) Queen Maeves tomb atop Knocknarea.
Anyone interested in visiting Ireland should really consider the West and Northwest as a destination.-
Hi Maria, Co Roscommon, because we were under the impression (although incorrectly) that our ancestor's might have come from there but in fact they came from West Cork. Also because O'Carolan lived there, I knew about that, and because that's where the fates led us which is the main reason. Sligo, because of Yeats writing. In a previous blog (Postcards from IreIand) I wrote about Knocknerea, Carrowmore and Ben Bulben, and Tara…
[…] a meat and potatoes country, and thus the recipes we tend to associate with the Irish, or with St. Patrick's Day, are not usually herbivore friendly. As an Irish (well, partly) lass, I like to serve up some […]
[…] Where else, but Ireland? […]
[…] up in a half-Irish household, you learn lots of interesting things. You learn to find truth in a myths. You learn to flatter while scolding. You learn that Corned Beef and Cabbage is an Irish-American […]

The Britney Advocate
I can't help myself from reading the latest installment in Britney's saga, which just gets increasingly depressing and weird. Overall, I feel a great sadness for one very lost woman and the fate of her children. The latest news about her "manager" stealing from her, controlling her with pills and pimping her to paparazzi is shocking and yet, I'm not sure how different Sam Lufti is from Britney's own parents. This story should alert everyone to the dangers of not educating one's children while throwing them to the wolves of intense media scrutiny. You'd think the pitfalls of turning a person into commodity would be obvious and yet, parents choose that fate for their children on a regular basis. It's unfortunate that someone with drug, alcohol and psychiatric problems is exposed for ratings and yet, the media has no comment on the crucial role they've played themselves in orchestrating Britney's "fall". And PS, I think her album is pretty good for radio pop. Hear a review from NPR's Ken Tucker here.
