Editorial: Candidates who mock the lawEditorial Board
A PILLAR of American democracy is the tenet that no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States, as was amply illustrated by the Watergate scandals that brought down Richard M. Nixon. This is why the integrity of presidential candidates draws justifiable attention during the race. A president must have the right stuff — the right judgment and temperament — not only to respond to crises and wars but also to preserve and lead a system based on laws.Read full article >>

Wife of rabbi accused of voyeurism speaks for the first time — in Biblical parablesMichelle Boorstein
Many people look to their religious leaders for guidance in getting through trauma. But what about when the leaders are themselves caught up in the trauma?That's what happened at Kesher Israel, a prominent D.C. synagogue that was rocked last fall when its longtime rabbi, Barry Freundel, was charged with secretly videotaping women preparing to use a ritual bath. Freundel, a national Orthodox leader whose arrest made global news, hasn't said anything since except to enter a guilty plea in February. His wife, Sharon, a well-regarded and popular Jewish educator in the District who shared in leadership at Kesher — a common role for a rabbi's wife, who is called "rebbetzin" — remained publicly silent as well, until last week, when she gave an unusual and striking lecture.Read full article >>

According to witnesses and videos, masked police fired birdshot into the group from behind at close range; Shaimaa al-Sabbagh , the mother of a 5-year-old, died in the arms of a friend.

Contractor at center of multiple 7 On Your Side investigations accused of scamming Md. couple out of thousandsHorace Holmes Il y a 6 minutes
TEMPLE HILLS, Md. (WJLA) – When a Maryland woman contacted 7 On Your Side Troubleshooter Horace Holmes about a contractor who left her high and dry, he discovered the man had been at the center of an ABC7 investigation not once, but twice before. Robin Ford loved her Civil War-era farmhouse, nestled at the top of a hill in Temple Hills. But she had just gotten married and it was time to move on. The house had a few problems. "We had an issue where the one corner of the house was settling and it was lower than all of the others," she said. Ford and her husband had a buyer, but before the sale could go through, the foundation had to be fixed. So, three weeks ago, Ford, on a referral from a family member, hired Jermayne Sturge and his Non Stop home improvement company to dig up the corner of her kitchen to access and raise the foundation. "Instead, he started on the opposite end of the kitchen and just really demolished everything, leaving this section completely undisturbed," Ford said. The couple paid Sturge $4,400 and says he demolished the floor. He asked for more money and the couple paid him an additional $2,000. Then, they say, he never showed up again. "If he's done this to us, as friends of the family, and coming to find out he's done this with so many other people," Ford said. It turns out, Sturge has been accused of this sort of thing many times before, and has been the focus of two previous 7 On Your Side reports—one in 2012 and another in the spring of 2014. In both cases, after our reports aired, Sturge did make a full refund. However, despite repeated attempts, Sturge refused to talk on camera both then and now. The homeowners in the previous cases accused Sturge of taking thousands in down payments and then disappearing. As for Ford and her husband, they hired other contractors to finish the work on the house. Now, she just wants her money back from Sturge. Ford says Sturge told her he was licensed and insured, but 7 On Your Side checked and found he has never been licensed. The contractor's number he gave Ford belonged to another contractor, whose license expired in January.

MCPS principal kept child sex abuse case quiet to avoid ?scandal,? prosecutors sayKevin Lewis
ROCKVILLE, Md. (WJLA) – A Montgomery County substitute teacher pleaded guilty to pawing young girls Wednesday, triggering allegations about his former boss' gross neglect. In November 2014, police arrested Jose Pineda, 50, of Gaithersburg, after three 12-year-old girls reported he fondled their legs, back and buttocks. The three stand-alone incidents happened in crowded classrooms at Roberto Clemente and Ridgeview middle schools. Following extensive media coverage, a fourth female victim, now 23, also came forward. "Victim D" said Pineda touched her in 2004 while she attended Forest Oak Middle School in Gaithersburg. The girl recalled riding the school bus home in tears. She and her mother returned to Forest Oak that same day and met with a counselor and the school principal. According to prosecutors, the principal told the mother and student to avoid contacting police or Child Protective Services (CPS) because he "did not want to make a big scandal or harm the reputation of the school." Montgomery County Police were never notified and Pineda was consequently allowed to stay on the MCPS substitute teaching roster until his arrest 10 years later. "I think that was a mistake ... moving forward, we've got to do a better job," Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said during a press conference at Montgomery County Circuit Court. Following Pineda's arrest, the principal in question, now retired, told the Washington Post he had no recollection of reported sexual abuse during his tenure at Forest Oak. However, he indicated he would have taken the appropriate measures had something have come to his attention. MCPS has never publicly mentioned Pineda's name. However, in light of the damning allegations against one of its former principals, it released a written statement Wednesday: "We are not going to comment on the specifics of a case involving a current or past student. However, if any member of our staff becomes aware of an allegation of child abuse or neglect they are to report it directly and immediately to the appropriate authorities, and the principal should ensure that this report has been made. Anything less than that is unacceptable." In the state of Maryland, it's illegal to stop or interfere with someone's attempt to report a crime. However, that law was not in existence back in 2004, meaning prosecutors are unable to press charges against the former Forest Oak Middle School principal. "The bottom line is we know it should have been reported and it was not. We have to move forward from that. As for the precise reason why [the principal] did not report, well they have to answer for themselves," McCarthy concluded. Pineda, who emigrated from Honduras to the United States 25 years ago, is married with three children—all in their mid-20s. It's possible that his felony conviction will end with deportation. Pineda was originally charged with 10 different criminal counts. As part of his plea deal, eight counts were dropped. A judge will sentence him on May 29. He faces up to five years in prison and will also need to register with the Maryland Sex Offender Registry.

Mayor Bowser calls for streetcar expansion to GeorgetownChris Papst
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Just a few weeks ago, it appeared dead. But the D.C. streetcar project is alive once again. Tuesday night in her State of the District address, Mayor Muriel Bowser proposed expanding the ill-fated project into Georgetown. Mayor Bowser's statement about expanding the streetcar to Georgetown caught many people by surprise. But if it were to happen, the line would run 3 miles west from Union Station along K Street and end at the corner of K Street and Wisconsin Avenue. "From Benning Road to H Street to Union Station and eventually all the way to Georgetown,"—those words by D.C.'s mayor during her first State of the District speech have people talking. "I would not be a huge proponent of it," said Anthony Mattens, an employee at Georgetown Floor Coverings. "Traffic is already horrendous trying to get out from underneath K Street to get up to M Street." "Sounds kind of fun," stated Scott Thiell, who also works in Georgetown. "I think it would be cool. I think it's exciting to jump on the thing and go all the way to H Street." A rendering of the streetcar expansion shows that, unlike along H Street, the rail would run closer to the middle of the road. "What we really lack is a high-capacity transit system," commented Will Handsfield, with the Georgetown Business Improvement District, which supports the project. Handsfield says the expansion would cost between $45 and $180 million for the extra 3 miles. Of course, that would be in addition to the $200 million already spent on the H Street line, which isn't even carrying passengers, yet—which is the result of years of mistakes Handsfield feels won't happen again. "The entire government has sort of learned from the experience with H Street and I think a lot of people have a better idea of how a streetcar should be planned," concluded Handsfield. Former Mayor Vincent Gray's original streetcar vision called for 37 miles of track. If the Georgetown expansion happens, that would bring the total length to about 5.5 miles. The target date for completion is 2022. _______ Follow 7 On Your Side Investigative Reporter Chris Papst on Twitter: @ChrisPapst.

Consumer Alert: Why cutting the cable cord may not save moneyJohn Matarese Il y a 5 heures
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Scripps) -- Is cable TV done? It seems like everyone is about to offer internet streaming TV services, and cable cord cutting is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years. The latest players: Apple, Sling, and Sony's Playstation Vue are all rolling out streaming TV services. With the average cable bill now more than $120 a month, lots of us are curious about Apple's upcoming TV service: 25 streaming channels for just $40 a month. In addition to new services by Apple, Sony, and Sling, HBO is also unveiling a streaming service for $15 a month, that will no longer require you to have cable service for the first time ever. Add in existing streamers Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant, and Netflix, and you have a lot of options. But you need to know the downsides before you give up your cable box. Cutting the cord can cost more than you think. Just run some numbers: * Apple's upcoming streaming TV will be $40 a month (PlayStation Vue will be $50) * HBO streaming will cost $15. * Netflix, essential to many people, is $9 a month. * And don't forget your high speed internet, at $40 a month ($15 plans may leave you frustrated if you are trying to download and watch streaming content all day, so let's assume $40 here) You're now up to $105 a month, which may leave you saying "doesn't that stink." But wait, there's more, as the infomercials used to say. Don't see all your favorite cable channels? Want some sort of DVR service? Then add on Hulu Plus, for another $9, so you are now up to almost $115 a month. Worse, the Silicon Valley website TechTimes.com says none of these duplicate the full "cable experience," with full-feature DVR, on-demand movies, and ease of picking up just one remote and surfing channels, with a beer in one hand and your head on the arm of the couch. You'll also need an antenna for local TV stations, and with some of these services, you still won't get ESPN. So add up what these new services will cost. If it's much over $100 a month, cable may be worth keeping just for the convenience.
PG County volunteer group makes education fun for students of all agesLeon Harris
CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. (WJLA) – It's a special day for the youngest students at Robert R. Gray Elementary School in Prince George's County; storyteller Hazeline Harris is dressed as the Cat in the Hat from the Dr. Seuss book of the same name to read to children in the school's Head Start and Kindergarten classes. Harris is a member of the Prince George's County Chapter of the Continental Societies. For 16 years, the group of women has volunteered countless hours, working with schools to bring programs focusing on everything from dental hygiene to cultural arts to interview and job skills for high school students. "There's such a limited amount of instructional time left in the school day. We feel we can fill in that void, if you will," said Lois Harrison-Jones, who chairs the Education Committee. A key focus in the younger grades is reading. And Harris uses a little magic to make books come alive. With just a flip of the pages, pictures and colors magically appear. "I learned to become a storyteller, because I felt if they had some magic that they would become lifelong readers and love reading," Harris said. The magic coloring book definitely made an impact on the young audience. "The funniest part in my brain that I keep trying to hold is she let us do some magic," said 5-year-old Jason Bradley. It also left them with an understanding of why reading is important. Four-year-old Kaylin Barnett said, "[It's because] that way, you get smart." The volunteers say it's rewarding to know they're making an impact. Since its founding, the Prince George's County Chapter of the Continental Societies has worked with more than 40,000 students in elementary through high school.
Nats get ready for Apr. 6 season opener at homeThe Associated Press, Horace Holmes
WASHINGTON (AP) - Bryce Harper's reaction to the news that the Washington Nationals added Max Scherzer to an already-talented starting staff drew quite a lot of attention. "I just started laughing," Harper famously said. "I was like, 'Where's my ring?'" Yes, that pretty much sums up where the expectations are for the 2015 Nationals - as expressed by them and by others. On the first day of full-squad workouts at spring training, reigning NL Manager of the Year Matt Williams posted these words of wisdom in the clubhouse: "The road to the World Series begins today." "We're here to get to that ultimate goal," Williams said. "We're not alone. There's 29 other teams that have the same thought. So that being said, I want to make sure that we understand that that's our goal. That is our goal: to be the last one standing at the end of it." The main reason many folks think the Nationals are capable of achieving that goal, even if the team has yet to win a playoff series, is the rotation. Scherzer, the 2013 AL Cy Young Award winner with Detroit, came aboard with a $210 million contract, joining a group that led the majors in ERA last season - right-handers Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Doug Fister, and lefty Gio Gonzalez. "There's no break" for an opposing team, new reliever Casey Janssen observed. It's such a formidable quintet that a guy who won 15 games, had a sub-3.00 ERA and threw nearly 200 innings a year ago, Tanner Roark, is moving to the bullpen. In 2014, the Nationals won a league-best 96 games and finished atop the underwhelming NL East by a whopping 17 games, but then bowed out in four games in a Division Series against the eventual champs, the San Francisco Giants. Washington's starting pitching wasn't the problem in the postseason; its bullpen and hitting were what led to a second quick playoff exit in three years. And yet general manager Mike Rizzo allowed those two areas to lose important pieces, trading away the man he called "maybe the best eighth-inning setup man in the history of the game," Tyler Clippard, and letting first baseman Adam LaRoche (team highs of 26 homers, 92 RBIs) leave via free agency. The hope, presumably, is that hitters such as Harper, Ryan Zimmerman (who replaces LaRoche at first) and Wilson Ramos, who each missed significant chunks of last season, will deliver the numbers they're capable of producing, while opponents have a really hard time scoring much against all the aces Williams will send to the mound. "It's hilarious having to go in there and face them. It's absolutely stupid," Harper said. "We have the best staff in baseball. I don't care what anybody says." Actually, Bryce, that's exactly what pretty much everybody IS saying. Here are other things to know about the Nationals, who open the season on April 6 at home against the New York Mets: HEALTH MATTERS: Half of the everyday lineup - outfielders Jayson Werth and Denard Span (both recovering from offseason surgery), third baseman Anthony Rendon and new second baseman Yunel Escobar - missed extended periods of spring training, as did fourth outfielder Nate McClouth. Rendon, Span, Werth and McClouth might all miss opening day. "You can be as good as you want on paper, but that doesn't mean anything until the end of the year," Scherzer said. "We've got to stay healthy." MIGHTY 'PEN?: Given their aspirations, October is what really matters for the Nationals, and Drew Storen blew save chances in the 2012 and 2014 playoffs. Still, the closer's job is his entering the season, and Clippard is no longer around to shut down foes in the eighth - or provide ninth-inning backup if needed. Worth watching: Will Aaron Barrett set aside the yips that hit him in the NLDS? LAST HURRAH: A couple of homegrown franchise cornerstones, Zimmermann and shortstop Ian Desmond, can become free agents after the season, as can Span and Fister. Rizzo could try to sign one or more to long-term deals. He could trade one or more. Or he could decide to let things play out with this group, then move on next offseason. "With this group of guys," Werth said, "this might be it."
Courtney Snowden named D.C. deputy mayor for economic issuesThe Associated Press, Sam Ford
WASHINGTON (AP) - A lobbyist and former D.C. Council candidate has been named to a senior-level position in Mayor Muriel Bowser's administration that's meant to help residents east of the Anacostia River. Bowser announced Wednesday that Courtney Snowden will serve as the deputy mayor for greater economic opportunity. The position has never existed before in District of Columbia government. On the campaign trail, Bowser promised that she'd appoint a deputy mayor to focus on issues east of the river, where unemployment and poverty are much higher than in the rest of the city. Snowden ran for an at-large seat on the D.C. Council last year, and Bowser supported her. In her new position, Snowden will work to help people who are trying to find a job or want to start a business.

D.C. elementary student sent to hospital alone for medical emergencyJohn Gonzalez
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- A young mother said she was outraged when an elementary school in Southeast D.C. sent her son in an ambulance to the hospital - by himself. "I leave my child in the care of the school, I don't expect this to happen," said Dominique Collins about Tuesday morning's incident at Stanton Elementary School. The school called Collins at work and said her son was having what seemed to be an asthma attack and was choking; she told school officials she was on her way. She would soon discover her son was sent to the hospital alone. The principle later called Collins to apologize profusely and make it clear that what happened was not school protocol. School staff promised Collins such an incident would never happen again, but Collins isn't satisfied and said she's considering pulling her son out of the school. A school spokesperson told ABC7 News the officials were looking into the matter, but added that the priority in a medical situation like Tuesday's is to get the child to the hospital as quickly as possible.

If you've ever wondered how much time you spend each year stuck in traffic on the way home from the office, the answer is about 168 hours. For those counting, that's one solid week. That's according to an annual study by GPS maker TomTom, which looked at morning and evening commutes in 200 cities around the globe. Here in the U.S., the worst five cities for traffic congestion: 1. Los Angeles 2. San Francisco 3. Honolulu 4. New York 5. Seattle As much as workers hate it, employers aren't thrilled about it either. "It's not good for employers either because, of course, the productivity goes down, people are already exhausted from white-knuckled commuting into work, or they're late. Nobody's happy about that and everyone's less productive," said Nick Cohn, TomTom head of Global Traffic Research. For those looking for a silver lining, that increase in traffic means more people are working. "You can see the cities in the U.S. where the economy is going really well, you can see that in the congestion levels, for better or for worse, of course," Cohn said. Cities that relieved some of their rush hour congestion from last year, according to TomTom, are benefitting from things like bike lanes, re-timing signals, and working with major employers to stagger the workday, so not everyone is on the roads at once. Employees who can't make their in time more flexible can try different routes, real-time apps that keep tabs on traffic, and public transportation where available. Additional insight into rush hour traffic Commuters in Los Angeles experience the worst traffic congestion overall, the evening rush hour is no exception. The average 30-minute drive in L.A. will take 54 minutes during evening rush hour, leading to an extra 92 hours wasted in traffic annually.

2000 Buick Century Problems
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
One or more power window switch may fail. The affected window may work intermittently before failing completely.
The transmission pressure control solenoid may fail causing erratic shifting. Our technicians tell us that partial dis-assembly of the transmission is necessary to replace a failed pressure control solenoid.
2000 Buick Century Questions
check relays and fuses ok, check continuity from relay and fuse to fan ok
what did I miss.
I stopped at a red light and when it turned green I pressed on the gas and it went nowhere. The transmission was not slipping or showing any signs of failure. The car starts great and the automatic shifter moves freely. Is it the tranny? Torque converter? Or something more simple?
No tail,backup, or licence plate lights in trunklid. Found a burned wire, maybe ground but can't find source. Wire burned from right rear qpanel to light plug in trunk. Is this common? Went to to junk yards for that wire harness and 2 other Buicks had same burned wires. Dash lights work when ...
2000 Buick Century Recalls
The air bag warning label on the sun visors does not comply with required size and content guidelines. GM mailed customers a new label to install on their visors.
The side air bag inflator may separate from the air bag module during deployment. This may cause reduced protection and injury to occupants. Dealers will replace the side impact air bag module.
The seat belt buckles may not have been properly heat-treated during the manufacturing process. This may cause the buckles not to function correctly during a collision, which may cause injury. Dealers will replace the seat belt buckles.
2000 Buick Century Reviews
I have over 315,000 miles on the original engine, and it seems to keep going strong. I have noticed just in the past couple weeks its been taking a little longer to start-up. I did have to have the exhaust manifold gasket changed cause it was leaking coolant in and out the engine. Two of the windows no longer roll up or down, the Check Oil light is forever on, as is the Low Coolant, and Service...
GM could not GIVE me one of their cars ever; have 2000 Buick with approx. 130,000 miles; Transmission went out twice at cost of $3500; all window motors went out twice; Heater/Ac blower switch went out twice at cost of $700 each time; electrical problems brake lights; my dash cluster doesn't light up; this car should have been re-called. Next time, I'll buy foreign like Toyota.
Got this car at 95,000 and now has 110,000 with no repairs since purchase. Really drives nice and with the exception of window problems has been a great car.

Each step you take and your ego
From the desk of GraceWatcher@...
There is a pathway of awakening that you are moving consciously along.
There are many steps being taken each moment of every day. We would
simply remind you that each step is a precious gemstone. Look at each
facet of each gemstone of experience. See clearly that which is
occurring and see deeply that which is the truth of that which is
occurring. Walk softly, speak gently, embrace all life
enthusiastically, reflect deeply, act intuitively, feel deeply, listen
intensely as you walk the pathway of awakening. There is much to be
discovered along the way. As you see clearly, you will understand
completely. As you observe spherically rather than in a liner fashion,
you will feel and see with the inner eye omni-dimensionally.
You see, there are many facets to each stone, to each gem of
experience. Be aware of the process through which you are moving. Each
element of the process has only one purpose and that is to be a stepping
stone to propel you along the pathway of awakening. Do not hold
tightly; do not react; do not become attached to that which is observed
along the pathway, for that will be but a temporary stopping place. It
will be like a magnet that attracts and holds and prevents the
acceleration of movement along the pathway.
So love endlessly. Feel the infinite Light of creation shining from
within. Be the Life of the creative impulse so completely that there is
nothing outside your focus, outside your attention, other than that of
the pure Love and Light of creation being made manifest. This is the
pathway you are on. Awaken totally to the realization that you are on
this pathway and the movement of energy of consciousness will continue,
will expand, and will be integrated totally with that which is the real
you -- the Love, Light, and Life of creation. That is who you are.
As you move through your daily experience, are you really aware of what
the driving motivation is for each action, each spoken word, each
movement of energy within the environment of your earthly school? Are
you aware of what is driving your need to be involved in certain
activities? Are you aware of the reactions and response, even so subtle
as they may be, as you move consciously into the create environment?
We have given before that there is this tendency within the embodied
soul to identify with that which is of the externalized nature. There
is a need to experience the created environment in order to understand
and know how the created environment is indeed not a separate entity or
separate creation, but is eternally and irreversibly aligned with the
movement of creative energy, the impulse of creative energy that comes
from within.
This tendency to become externalized and to attach to that which has
been recognized within the external environment has been given a name.
It is called the ego. This is a simple name but it is all inclusive of
the movement of external energy that identifies with limited perception
that which is the created environment. The ego sees itself as separate,
as unique, as an individualized component of creation, and indeed it
is. What the ego fails to see is that it is connected with and one with
all creation, and that the movement of energy through that ego-centered
focus has the potential for being the complete and full statement of the
Consciousness of Creation in motion. When this occurs, the ego no
longer sees itself as separate. There is a merging and alignment with
that which is the pure essence of the infinite statement of creation
moving through the consciousness of the soul.
So the ego appears to be rather powerful. The ego drives interactions
and involvement in certain activities of the earthly school. The ego
wants to be recognized, wants to have influence, wants to manipulate,
wants to control, wants to put on the robe of three-dimensional finery
and say, look at me. So the ego has its own identity and its own
momentum of activity.
But as soul consciousness emerges, the ego looks in the mirror and says,
who am I, why am I, what am I really all about? This is the spark that
ignites the flame of vision as the inner pathway of enlightenment
becomes the recognized pathway of evolution of consciousness. The ego
merges and melts into this inner realm of soul consciousness. The ego
is vanquished.
Love and Light

While far from perfect, it was a good film. It's bearing witness to someone learning to step outside their normal reality, in order to change their consciouness, and therefore, their life. A lovely alternative to more predictable, violent, and/or unimaginative films.

Gaelic Storm
Rams Head On Stage
33 West St.
Annapolis, MD, 21401
This event is 21 and over
After 10 albums, and nearly 3,000 live shows, Gaelic Storm — the chart-topping, multi-national Celtic band — is dishing up a hearty serving of Full Irish. The greatest-hits album spans the bulk of the band's career from 2004-2014, mixing crowd favorites and concert staples with three previously unreleased recordings.
Gaelic Storm has straddled the line between tradition and innovation for nearly two decades. Led by founding members Patrick Murphy and Steve Twigger, the group infuses traditional Celtic music with modern influences, updating the genre for a new generation of fans raised on rock, country and folk. Along the way, the musicians have topped the Billboard World Chart four times, appeared in the blockbuster film "Titanic" (where they performed "Irish Party in Third Class," an unreleased song made available for the first time on Full Irish) and earned a reputation as a hard-touring, genre-bending band.
"We have earned every single one of our fans, one at a time," Murphy says. "There's no sponsorship. No corporation is pulling strings. Every fan is made by us playing a show and shaking hands and learning names. We've become friends with so many of them. When someone at a show tells me they've never seen Gaelic Storm before, I say, 'Welcome to the family.'"
Regularly playing more than 120 shows a year, Gaelic Storm has built a loyal following as diverse as the band's own music. Fans of traditional Irish music have championed the group for years, but so have fans of harder-edged Celtic rock. On tour, Gaelic Storm is just as likely to play a large rock club as a plush theater. The band makes regular appearances on cruises, too, joining artists like the Barenaked Ladies and Michael Franti.
"Our audience spans the whole spectrum," Twigger says. "We'll play a rock venue one night, then a performing arts center that might've hosted a ballet performance the night before. We've got hardcore fans who love our energy, Jimmy Buffet fans who love our message, folk fans who love our stories. Everyone can appreciate it, and that's been the secret to our longevity."
"Looking back over our past albums is like flipping through a photo album," adds percussionist Ryan Lacey, who joined the band in 2003. "Each record was made during a different time and a completely different phase of our lives. What hasn't changed is the message. We want everybody to have a good time, to enjoy themselves. It's the sort of message that everyone can get behind."
Although Full Irish takes a look backward, Gaelic Storm is still moving ahead at full speed. There's another studio album in the works, as well as plenty of tour dates on the books. Hungry for more rule-breaking Celtic music? Full Irish will satisfy your appetite… even if it's just an appetizer for what's to come.

Can you Breed a plant with itself?
can you take the anther from one flower of the same plant and succsesfully pollinize the other flower so it has seeds?
on the same plant? talking about Lilium Auratum
Depends on the plant. Some have self-incompatibility mechanisms which make such things difficult. In many cases there's no problem, and in fact such self-fertilization is the norm.
Even in cases of self-incompatibility, there are means of overcoming it in some species.
Lilium species and hybrids are concidered self-incompatible. The pollen will geriminate on the plants own stigma, and start growing toward the ovules. Then, if it is compatible pollen, before it gets very far, the plant responds by producing something that makes the pollen tubes start growing faster. This means that pollen from other lilies will beat self pollen to the ovules. In fact, self pollen often doesn't make it in time before the flower withers. Keeping the lily in cool conditions helps the flower to remain in good shape until the self pollen does its job.

'Avengers': Secrets Behind the Big New York City Battle Sequence (Video)
It's one of the highlights of the film, but when the Avengers assemble to fend off shape-shifting aliens in the middle of the city, the shot -- created from four locations -- had a lot of digital help.
One of the highlights of The Avengers was the battle in New York City toward the end of the movie that saw Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, Captain America and others assembling to fend off the shape-shifting Chitauri.
While the battle looked as realistic as they come, Industrial Light & Magic has pulled back the curtain on how the sequence was created, revealing the process by which it assembled the footage to form one long supercut.
VIDEO: Behind the Scenes of Marvel's 'Avengers'
For one thing, the shot was created out of "four different virtual New York locations that we had to tie in together as Iron Man's flying between them," reveals ILM CG supervisor David Meny. And a lot of the characters in the sequence were done in CG, like Iron Man, The Hulk and the aliens they were fighting -- as well as the New York backdrop. It took 1,200 shots of the city, stitched together, to build out a panoramic image of that location.
One of the biggest challenges in creating the scene was Captain America, as his movements did not match what ended up being used in that specific Avengers scene. So what ended up happening? Bye-bye, bluescreen cap. Hello, digital rendering.
PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes of THR's Jeremy Renner Cover Shoot
Perhaps the most mind-boggling thing was that one team was assigned to assemble the multiple sections into one cohesive sequence. Massive undertaking is an understatement.
It probably was a good thing Avengers shot on blue- and greenscreen stages and went the digital route for this particular portion of the film. If the New York City destruction depicted in Avengers actually had happened, it would have cost an estimated $160 billion, according to a disaster expert.
