Re: Lord of The Rings On Blu Ray Watch
I want to get the extended editions on Bluray. It's probably going to run me like $100, but I think it'll be worth it.

The Dismemberment Plan
Uncanney Valley
Oct 29, 2013 Web Exclusive
Ten years out of the game is a long time for anyone. But for The Dismemberment Plan it may seem even longer. In the decade since the Washington-born ensemble called it a day, the hyperventilating art-punk genre they once excelled in has been pounded, pummelled, and packaged into something that sells records and everything else—from potato chips to high-end motors.
The return of the pioneering quartet, then, is surely cause to celebrate. In a time where even the most iconoclastic acts reunite to pay the tax man, it's refreshing to think this is one comeback that may actually be about the music—particularly when guitarist Jason Caddell tells us the band have "always been more abstract than sales and statistics."
Studio album number five, Uncanney Valley, certainly backs this view up. An agitated yet hook-heavy affair, these 10 cuts feel like an act reacquainting itself, slipping into a creative comfort zone that still requires a little polish. In that sense, the first few listens will always compare unfavorably against the past, with "Daddy Was a Real Good Dancer" and "Invisible" in particular sinking as clumsy disappointments.
Thankfully their technical excellence remains intact. The schizoid percussion of "No One's Saying Nothing" is a breathless opener; the love-stained "Lookin" is built on an intricate needlework of guitar and gorgeous synth; while "Waiting" is a jittering, pseudo-funk gem. And while it might lack the punch of old, Uncanney Valley certainly proves that, 10 years on, there's still life left in these old dogs. (www.dismembermentplan.com)

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - There's no place like home for the Los Angeles Kings.
Jonathan Quick made 24 saves for his seventh career playoff shutout, and the Kings continued their dominance at Staples Center with a 3-0 Game 5 win over the San Jose Sharks.
The Kings' 13th straight victory at home, a run that dates back to the regular season, has given them a 3-2 lead in this Western Conference semifinal series. Los Angeles, which was coming off back-to-back 2-1 losses in San Jose, will look to finish off the Sharks on the road Sunday night.
Quick, who also blanked the Sharks in the series opener, earned his 27th career playoff win, a new Kings record. He had been tied with Kelly Hrudey for the most in club history.
"We played well. We played hard, came out with a purpose," Quick said.
The Kings got a late second-period goal from Anze Kopitar and third-period tallies from Slava Voynov and Jeff Carter.
Antti Niemi stopped 26 shots for San Jose.
"(The Kings) came hard right off the bat, but we got through that without getting scored on," said Sharks head coach Todd McLellan. "The rest of the night, we weren't very good and moving forward, maybe that's a good thing because we have a lot to improve on and need a better effort from a lot of people."
After making nine first-period saves, Niemi remained sharp between the pipes as the Sharks were pinned in their own end early in the second frame.
In a one-minute span, he made a blocker save to foil defenseman Jake Muzzin's bid through traffic before gloving a shot by rearguard Robyn Regehr.
Later in the period, it was Quick's turn to dazzle as he denied Patrick Marleau twice from close range. At the conclusion of those sequence of saves, Kyle Clifford went off for charging at 11:19.
Los Angeles followed up a successful kill with a fruitless power play when San Jose defenseman Jason Demers was whistled for boarding shortly after the penalty to Clifford had expired.
Niemi then made an impressive right-pad stop on Carter's wraparound try at the left post with about four minutes to go in the second.
Moments later, however, the Kings finally broke the scoreless deadlock. Clifford ripped a one-timer from the right point into heavy traffic. The puck was knocked down, creating a net-front scramble that resulted in Kopitar poking the puck behind a prone Niemi from the left side of the crease with 1:52 remaining.
Los Angeles extended its lead 53 seconds into the third period. Trevor Lewis bested San Jose captain Joe Thornton in an offensive zone faceoff, pushing the puck back to Voynov, and the defenseman fired a wrister from the right point past a screened Niemi.
Carter sealed the win with an empty-netter in the final minute after Mike Richards won a puck battle.

I have it: 26 I had it: 14 I want it: 18
Yvresse Eau de Toilette Legere, the lighter version of the Yvresse or Champagne fragrance, was launched in 1997. It opens with notes of nectarine blossom and black currant leaf. The heart consists of mimosa along with white lilac and rose. The base features patchouli, vetiver and oak moss.

I had to take the plunge and buy this one blind as I could not find a single person to help me decide if I should get it or not. I am sure glad I did trust the notes and went with my intuition. These are all favorite notes for me, from top to bottom. And I mean, if it is discontinued, it must be good, right?
Ok, the scent now. First, I will mention these: Poeme, Tresor, Samsara, Dune, Champs-Elysees. Imagine a woman who wears these well. If you are amongst those who love those often underrated 90s classics, you will most likely appreciate Yvresse in its legere version. As is often true of pre-2000 flankers, the light version is not necessarily a diluted, watery abstraction but a scent in its own right. This one is no exception. Just like all older Poison flankers are real perfumes, this is amazing too.
As mentioned before me, the focus is really on nectarine and mimosa throughout the scent. I can sense the cassis leaf and that is the reason why this scent is original and not just a powdery floral. It gives it a definite 90s vibe, along with the lilac. Cassis leaf is rarely used this way nowadays. Lilac is not very popular anymore either and always seems to attract comments like "it's dated" and "for older women" or "it smells like my mom". I personally think that smelling of those 3 things exudes mystery, confidence, intelligence, experience. What 18 yo exudes all these things? hmmmm. Moving on.
The base is quite warm and woodsy, oak moss and vetiver make it almost unisex and the patchouli is not a star here at all. This is not the type of patchouli that makes or breaks a scent for patchouli haters. Looking at the pyramid and trying to guess what this could have smelled like, I thought of something much closer to Champs-Elysees edt but not at all. This is much warmer, more powdery, woodsier. A real cross between Tresor and Champs-Elysees edt. Wonderful. C-E wears very fresh, almost aquatic on me so this is great for colder days and colder evenings. It does not have that "hairspray" note that people hate in Tresor, though. Don't worry.
I love it. I am so glad I took the plunge and bought it. Definitely worth the price and I personally think this is signature material. I told a friend I would not leave a review of this because I love it so much, I'd rather it stayed unknown, but I feel I need to share my discovery with the other perfumistas who share my taste for "mom fumes".
Oh, and I wanted to add, it says "floral, fresh, green, fruity...", well, this is not fresh or green on me after the first couple of minutes. It's fuzzy, warm and sensual but still warm-weather appropriate. I am simply dumbfounded to see that only 25 of us own this beauty. As FayLou and krmarich have said before me, truly wonderful scent. A must-try for any YSL lovers, for sure.
If you look at my wardrobe, you won't see it there as I ended up selling it because someone offered me twice the amount I had paid for it, but I still think it's beautiful.
I love "Yvresse" by Yves Saint Laurent, Every-time I wear this perfume it makes an entrance, someone asks me "What are you Wearing?" I find this so sophisticated, elegant and long wearing. The statement is expensive and I feel that way wearing this perfume. It actually makes me feel intoxicated with its notes such a beautiful fragrance, I keep going back to purchase. It doesn't leave a room with you it Lingers well after you have gone.
This is a really nice old-school floral perfume. I bought it after buying Yvresse (Champagne), both at a good discount in an old Chemist - lucky find! Yvresse legere is I think supposed to be a lighter version of Yvresse (Champ), intended for those who find the original too strong. There is definitely the scent of the original Yvresse in here, that lovely heavy peachy Chypre, but Legere is also quite different in that it is much more floral. I suppose it is best described as a nice floral chypre mixed in with some Yvresse (Champ).
I find this scent to be almost as strong as the original Yvresse, the sillage is almost as heavy too, but it is easier to wear, as the floral notes tone down the potency somewhat. In other words, it doesn't cling to your nose as much! Yvresse (Champ) is so strong that it tends to fill your nose, making it difficult to detect other smells while you are wearing it. The Legere is not so overwhelming.
I really like both scents, Yvresse (Champ)is my favourite, it is so unique and heady. Legere is good to wear on a cold summer day (plenty of those in Ireland!), being both floral, sweet and giving warmth in the chypre. Yvresse (Champ)on the other hand is for me a winter scent, far too potent for summer.
Rummaging through my endless supply of minis, I came across this gentle and forgotten beauty. It had little time on the stage. I can compare it to Yvresse and it definitely takes a different direction. Some of the best flankers arrived from YSL in the 1990s. This can be counted as one of them.
It is truely light and warm weather friendly. The rose is barely there. The focus is mimosa, peach, lilac anc possibly freesia/lily? Its almost aquatic and a little goumand. There is a small chypre accord of patcholi, oakmoss and a whisper of vetiver on a most fragile base of sandalwood/cedar. It lasts about 3 hours with minimal projection.
At the end of the 1990s, YSL was all about testing the market while trusting the classics as the foundation of sales. The first flankers for Opium, Rive Gauche and Paris were introduced. Paris Baby Doll was a hit. Everything else just vanished into perfume history. Sadly after 2009 everything was radically changed by L'Oreal Paris.
This is required sniffing for all serious YSL fans. Otherwise, its getting expensive and not a public favorite.

If you love original "Yvresse" but find it too loud sometimes to wear then this one would be your perfect match.
I don´t know if "Yvresse" is different than original "Champagne" formula, i only have original Champagne and never tried the "Yvresse" version, except this one.
Where "Champagne" is loud, syrupy sweet and fizzy in a good way, this one is shadow of the original. I find mimose to be the most dominant note in this composition, surrounded by nectarine, lilac and cassis. However the original version is all about peaches and chypre. The drydown of "Legere" for me is quite synthetic and all about mimose. Inbetween i do smell a hint of rose and vetyver, but the frgrance in general is so soft, that normally if you wear it you might even not notice those notes.
This version is a quiet one, much softer sillage and weaker lasting power. Too quiet i would say. I think this would be better for spring or cold summer days, But original version is more suitable for fall-winter and great for summer nights.
To be completly honest, i am dissapointed in this version in terms of sillage and lasting power, however it is very lovely still. Better go for original version.
UPDATE: (30.april 2013) after wearing it several times i came up to conclusion that this is not a good one. The opening is very powdery mimose, for my nose is not pleasant at all and very simple. Then it just dissapeares after 20 minutes and stays very close to the skin, almost undetectable. No, not my taste at all. I have compared the original "Champagne" and "Yvresse legere" on both wrists and "Legere" is the looser for sure in this fight. The scent of "Legere" is actually the less intensive drydown of the original "Champagne". I can´t even call them similar fragrances at all, this is not a lighter version of the original, this is different version, different scent. While i can´t take my nose off the "Champagne" wrist, i smell almost nothing on "legere" wrist. I would compare them like a couple of people with similar interests, that start to live together and share some similar hobbies, tastes etc, but in general they still have thier own hobbies that are quite different from each other. Unmarried couple wiling to get married but can´t make it due to mutual dissagreement. :)
Still, i´ll stick to the original. I am letting the "legere" go without any regrets.
Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every review should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.
This fragrance is one I've always loved, and have never tired of. It lasts a very long time, but also radiates into a room. It alters my mood to happy feminity. It energizes, but also has a serenity that is rare. A truly lovely, classic fragrance.

Schembechler not in favor of BCS rematch
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Someone asked former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler on Monday morning about the Dead Schembechlers, a Columbus, Ohio, punk band that won't be on "Dancing with the Stars" anytime soon.
"I don't know what their thinking is," Schembechler said. "It's all right. Well, the one guy said, 'He almost joined us a couple of weeks ago,' which was true."
He walked into the news conference that kicked off Michigan-Ohio State week on Monday morning at a slow pace, but ...

I bought this kit to replace the stock rotors and pads. The rotors are lighter than stock. They are corner specific due to the direction of the vanes. My kit came with 20 padlets. There was no brake pad grease in the kit so remember to get some. I marked down one one star because they would look so much better with more holes.

I replaced the rear rotors on my '06 'vette at 90k miles (Z51 chassis option) with power stop rotors. The rotors appear to be quality, bedding quickly with stock pads and smooth operation in braking. The finish is attractive......looks great behind the wheels. I hope the finish will last and that they remain warp free.......I have 2k miles on the vehicle since install.

J. R. and Philip Milton present the first critical edition of John Locke's Essay concerning Toleration, based on all extant manuscripts, and a number of other writings on law and politics composed between 1667 and 1683. Although Locke never published any of these works himself they are of very great interest for students of his intellectual development because they are markedly different from the early works he wrote while at Oxford and show him working out ideas that were to appear in his mature political writings, the Two Treatises of Government and the Epistola de Tolerantia. With authoritative contextual guidance from the editors, this will be an invaluable resource for all historians of early modern philosophy, of legal, political, and religious thought, and of 17th-century Britain.

What's Happening: Starboard Value is nominating three candidates for election to the board at the 2011 annual meeting.
Key Numbers:
$685 million: Avid's annual revenue for the trailing 12 months
53%: Its gross profit margin
3.1%: Its Ebitda margin
Behind the Scenes: Starboard has had particular activist success in companies that have solid core businesses with significant cash flow, but where management has been reinvesting the cash flow in noncore businesses that have been unsuccessful, or in research and development that hasn't been fruitful.
Avid is a leader in the audio and video software and hardware markets for movie and broadcast editing. Despite significant revenue and gross profit margins, it has insignificant cash flow, because it is spending more than $240 million on operating expenses and another $120 million on research and development. The question Starboard will undoubtedly ask is how much of this expenditure is necessary to service Avid's high-end, profitable business, and how much is being spent on unprofitable pursuits.
For the past four years, the company has been led by CEO and Chairman Gary Greenfield, a former private-equity investor. He has been trying to grow Avid, as evidenced by the company's cost structure and R&D budget. But the strategy hasn't been working, and the stock has dropped from the mid-20s when he took office to a recent $8.63. It just might be the perfect time for an investor like Starboard, which has a history of paring expenses and refocusing management, to maximize profits.

Irish is lingua franca in Cannes
By Evan Short
For the first time ever the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival will resonate to the sounds of the Irish language, this after a musical written solely in the Irish native tongue was shortlisted for an award.
"Bonsoir Luna" is a short film about a romance between street artist, Duke, and Luna who works in a coffee shop close to where Duke performs.
The dialogue is not only solely in Irish, but all lines are sung by the actors, making it an even more unusual production and part of the reason it caught the eye, and ear, of the Cannes organizers.
Donncha Gilmore wrote and directed the 15 minute film, which was produced by David Cullinan, PJ Moloney, and Philip Hickey for Aminal Productions with the support of Ireland's Arts Council.
Donncha said he wanted to celebrate the Irish language in a positive way.
"I wanted to make an Irish film that was gleefully and unapologetically optimistic. I also felt that it would be a great opportunity to present the Irish language in a new light, by using the musical genre to showcase its lyricism."
Federico Rea acted as cinematographer, Glenn Whelan as art director, while Gilmore also edited the picture.
Michael-David McKernan and Hilary Bowen Walsh star as Duke and Luna, respectively. The cast also features Susie Young, Grainne Boyle, Aislinn Ní Uallacháin, Gemma Doherty, Eoghan Regan, and Garret Farrell.
The film's music was written and arranged by Josh Reichental, with additional contributions by Stephen O'Brien. Recording of the music was carried out at Lamplight Studios, with Stephen Dunne as recording supervisor.
Among Gilmore's inspirations for the film are the musical films of French director Jaques Demy, which include "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964).
Luna was shot in September 2014 around Dublin and it is hoped the inclusion in the Short Film Corner in Cannes will mark the beginning of an international festival run.
The film has already received development commitments from the Arts Council for a feature adaptation by Aminal Productions, which is still in the early stages.
Tenor Emmet Cahill the latest Midlands star
By Áine Ní Shionnaigh
Chatting to Emmet Cahill earlier this week is like catching up with a long lost friend. He has a hint of an accent which I strongly suspect is from the Midlands. As Emmet describes it himself, 'I'm from the middle of the country", which technically has two meanings: he lives in a rural area which happens to be located in the Midlands of Ireland outside Mullingar, County Westmeath. I ponder on what it is about the Midlands that has an affinity for producing world-renowned tenors: Count John McCormack, Frank Patterson and now my interviewee, Emmet Cahill. Perhaps it's the peat? Just as peat is a natural resource generously given to us by nature in this part of Ireland, nature has also given an amazing gift to Emmet which he has cherished and nurtured with the help and support of his amazing parents. Emmet continually refers to his parents during our chat and attributes his success to them. All I can think is that they have done a beyond amazing job, raising someone who has nurtured and developed his talent and who also manages to be the nicest, most down to earth person one could chat to.
Emmet Cahill is currently one of Ireland's most recognized tenors who sweeps listeners away with the emotion of his singing. He is natural and relaxed, two words that consistently come up during our conversation. He is very unassuming, his life on stage is simply a progression of what he has always done growing up: singing and playing music. Emmet displays that typical Irish trait: on the surface, an extremely laid back attitude which totally belies the tremendous talent and courage he has. Emmet is well known for his renditions of John McCormack, another name that comes often during our chat. In 2010 when Emmet was attending the Royal Irish Academy of Music studying opera and theater, he was awarded the 'John McCormack Bursary' for the most promising young tenor. He was also named the most promising young singer at the Academy. He has been a multiple prize winner at the National Feis Ceoil singing competition. In 2013, the Irish American Music Association awarded him with the title "Tenor of the Year' in recognition of his work on stage here in the United States.
That is where our paths first crossed. The first time I heard Emmet perform was in the Beacon Theatre on Broadway in 2011 where he was lead singer with the renowned Irish Music Show; 'Celtic Thunder'. The opulent Beacon Theatre was very fitting for Emmet's first US appearance on stage as he seemed to be following in the footsteps of the most renowned tenor in the history of our time, Count John McCormack who himself had performed on Broadway almost a century earlier and who also hailed from County Westmeath. On first hearing the pureness of his mellow tones, I was struck by his depth of feeling. I sat entranced as he sang the beautiful haunting melody; "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears". Observing the emotion etched deeply into his handsome face, I was never so proud to be Irish, Emmet is as his performances: eloquent, charming with an underlying depth and a maturity that totally belies his young age. I had an image of him growing up, with perhaps a grandfather who enjoyed playing dusty 65"s of John McCormack on a wind-up gramophone. I was pretty close, he was raised listening to some of his Dad's John McCormack vinyl's on an old record player. Perhaps the mellow tones of McCormack somehow diffused into his young soul and created this depth of expression and feeling that now speaks to souls all around the world.
During our chat I am amazed at what Emmet has achieved in the past 4 years, from being chosen at the age of 20 to join world renowned 'Celtic Thunder' where he became an immediate hit with the fans. Becoming the lead singer on this show put him in the spotlight and almost immediately he found himself touring many continents and countries including America, Canada and Australia. Now four years later he is just about to launch his first American tour of his solo career.
When did Emmet first start singing and playing music? For Emmet there was no start date, it was simply a natural progression from growing up in a home surrounded by music and singing. His Dad is a music teacher and his Mom is a singer. Therefore music and singing is as intrinsic to the family home as the concrete walls that sustain it. From the age of four, Emmet began to play the piano, guitar and violin and sing. He and his siblings were all classically trained and often accompanied their Mom to local weddings where she was the professional singer. His siblings all play and sing also. Perhaps that's why Emmet keeps coming back to the fact that he wants his new solo show to be natural, he wants people when they come to his show to feel like they are dropping over to his home for an impromptu sing song and music session. He wants it to be more about an experience rather than listening and watching a performance.
The success and recognition that Emmet has enjoyed as lead singer of Celtic Thunder over the past four years would be enough to absorb for most, but Emmet knew deep down he had to keep going, to be truly authentic to his own original talents he had to do it solo and that is what he is preparing to do right now. In less than two weeks, he will hit the shores of the US and is doing a whirlwind solo show that will take him cross country from St Louis, Missouri, across the plains to Indiana, Ohio back to what he charmingly refers to 'as a little circle around New York' which will take in cities from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, Cleveland to Chicago and many many more. The full itinerary is outlined at the end of the article with website details.
I finish with one of my favorite topics, the issue of being Irish in America, Again Emmet has an interesting insight: "In Ireland you are just yourself, you don't think about it. Americans are more invested in the idea of being Irish and all that that entails", he says. This is fascinating as Emmet already has a huge fan base here in the US who have no Irish connections but when they hear him sing, it resonates with something deep within. If being Irish is connected with listening to this amazing tenor Emmet Cahill, I strongly recommend everyone should become Irish at least for one night. Book your tickets for a memorable night, enjoy the show and I will keep you updated on the album which will be out later in the year! For New York fans, see you all in Rory Dolans on June 6th.

Catherine Burns is going home

By Ray O'Hanlon
More than 180 years after she died beside a Pennsylvania railroad, Catherine Burns is going home.
Fragments of her remains unearthed at the Duffy's Cut excavation site in Malvern, Chester County, PA will be interred in her native County Tyrone in July.
"We got a confirmation that we will be able to bury bones of one of the Duffy's Cut victims, 29-year-old Tyrone native Catherine Burns," Dr. William Watson of Immaculata University, a leader of the excavation work at the Duffy's Cut site since 2003, said.
A funeral Mass is being planned at Clonoe Parish in Coalisland for Sunday, July 19.
"We have a small marker we will place at her grave," said Watson.
Added Watson regarding Catherine Burns: Excavating her remains back in August, 2010, two things were apparent to me immediately. Her face was largely intact, so we finally had a face from Duffy's Cut, and her pelvis was also substantially intact.
"We had excavated skulls before, of course, but the violence done to the men had essentially blasted their faces away. I recall lifting the pelvis out of the ground and remarking how heavy it was, and asking whether that might be important.
"Our physical anthropologist, Janet Monge, examined the remains at the University of Pennsylvania Museum and said two things pointed to the remains being female – the small size of the mouth palate and the pelvis.
"Janet concluded that the remains were from a female approximately thirty years old, and we had one female aged 29 on the John Stamp ship passenger list, Catherine Burns (there was also a 21 year old female on the ship, but Janet said the remains were about 30 and not about 20). Janet said she was also a victim of blunt force trauma, but her face had survived.
"We found the two bone fragments in her coffin nail box in November 2014, and we formulated the idea then of returning some of her remains to her native county."
Watson added that a marker would also be placed on the grave of the other identified Duffy's Cut victim, John Ruddy, now resting in Ardara, County Donegal.
From being buried without ceremony at Duffy's Cut the immigrants of that bygone time are gradually being reinterred with dignity and respect.
In March, 2012, the remains of five men and one woman were laid to rest in a church burial at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, not far from Malvern. That ceremony was attended by the then Irish ambassador to the U.S., Michael Collins.
Meanwhile, Dr. Watson and his team are preparing to extract core samples for an estimated fifty men buried in a mass grave at the site. This work is expected to begin in early June.
The mass grave site is on land immediately adjacent to the railroad which carries SEPTA and AMTRAK trains. AMTRAK owns the land and has granted permission for the work.
The site is marked by the remains of a onetime stone building.
In the summer of 1832, 57 Irish laborers died while building the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad between Malvern and Frazer at a site that became known to the wider world as Duffy's Cut.
Dr. Watson and his colleagues believe that the deaths were caused not just by cholera, the reason reported at the time, but by murderous attacks carried out by local nativist gangs.
Remains unearthed during the years of the Duffy's Cut excavation have confirmed this view.
Irish aid workers at quake center

Irish aid workers rushed to Nepal after last month's devastating earthquake.
They are in Nepal amid the chaos following today's devastating temblor.
"I could see dust rising from the houses as they were collapsing," said Limerick's Kieran McConville, who works out of Concern Worldwide's office in New York as part of the agency's Concern Emergency Response Team.
"This one was big," said Concern Emergency Team Leader, Ros O'Sullivan, who is from Donegal.
Concern Worldwide's Emergency Response Team, already in Nepal and responding to the earthquake of 25th April, are all accounted for after they were left shaken by a new earthquake registering 7.3 on the Richter scale that struck Nepal at approximately 1 p.m. local time on Tuesday, May 12.
Kieran McConville, who is in a remote area of the countryside, said: "We were standing on the side of a hill in Bhirkot when the earthquake happened.
"In the valley below I could see dust rising from the houses as they were collapsing. The earthquake two weeks ago damaged those houses and this one destroyed them. The villagers are now sitting in an open space in a field very afraid and night fall is approaching. There have been five big new earthquakes and several aftershocks in the last few hours. Right now, we're surrounded by landslides limiting our ability to move around."
Irish Aid Agency GOAL is also working in Nepal since the April 25th quake.
The agency's emergency response team is currently working to establish the damage, injuries and potential casualties caused by today's second earthquake.
GOAL's Country Director in Nepal, Dr. Raj Singh, described the scene on the ground in Kathmandu as "chaotic."
"People are not permitted to enter buildings at the moment and we have had three aftershocks since the quake, one of which was very pronounced.
Thankfully, all my colleagues in GOAL escaped injury and are safe, and at this point we are working as best we can to establish the level of damage, injuries and potential loss of life here in the capital and elsewhere.
"We were working inside when the earthquake struck. Tables and chairs started to shake violently, doors were opening and closing and people started to panic. We got out as soon as we could and we saw buildings swaying as the shaking continued. The earthquake lasted approximately thirty seconds. It was chaotic; people here are extremely scared
"From where I am standing, I can see cracks in several buildings and there is a real fear of buildings collapsing.
Dr. Singh said that apart from now assisting people who have been affected by today's quake, the challenge for aid groups to support those who were affected by the first earthquake has now become even more daunting and challenging.
"We've been delivering aid to extremely vulnerable families in four of the most-affected districts around Kathmandu," he said.
"The latest quake will undoubtedly complicate and frustrate this work."
GOAL Regional Director, Darren Hanniffy, has already set out to return to Kathmandu – he was there for several days just after the first quake – and should be in the city by late Tuesday afternoon, according to a GOAL release.
Legislators laud Rockland Gaelic Athletic Association
Saluting Rockland County GAA were (l-r) Legislator Pat Moroney, Marty McKenna, Joe McGirl, Vincent
Tyer, and Legislator Christopher Carey.
By Irish Echo Staff
Rockland County, NY, legislators Patrick Moroney and Christopher Carey have presented the Rockland Gaelic Athletic Association with a Distinguished Service Award in recognition of the GAA's efforts over the past 43 years to promote and bring recognition to Gaelic football and related Irish sports, as well as to nurture appreciation for Irish culture, heritage and traditions in the county.
Rockland GAA chairman, Vincent Tyer, vice chairman Marty McKenna and club coaching officer Joe McGirl accepted the award on behalf of the GAA.
The club was established in 1972 by Irish immigrants who settled in Rockland County and were determined that traditional Irish sports should be passed on to their children.
Today, the ever-growing membership consists of over 600 local youth from a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
In 2000, the club, said a release, was able to purchase the land that it leased in Blauvelt for over thirty years from the Rockland Psychiatric Center and is presently commencing work on expansion plans that include the construction of a clubhouse that will provide changing rooms, a conference room and an open style pavilion for club gatherings.
The club sponsors youth teams for boys and girls ages 6 and under through 18 years of age, and men's and women's teams that compete in Gaelic football, hurling and camogie.
"The GAA has accomplished so much over the past four decades and is recognized by other clubs in the nation and in Ireland as the leading promoter of traditional Irish sports in America," said Legislator Patrick Moroney.
"Many young families were introduced to our county through the GAA and settled here as a result. The GAA promotes Irish sports, Irish culture and Rockland County, as well," Moroney said.
Legislator Carey added: "This program draws in youth and adults from all over the County and introduces them to the challenge of a different sport and allows those of Irish descent the opportunity to participate in a sport that is reflective and reminiscent of their ancestry, culture and tradition. The GAA has made enormous contributions to Rockland County and we are pleased to recognize that fact."
Unionists hold the line in North elections
Sinn Féin candidate in South Belfast and Irish Echo publisher, Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, significantly raised his party's vote in the South Belfast Westminster constituency, but sitting MP and SDLP leader, Dr. Alasdair McDonnell, held on to his seat.

Sinn Féin have lost the iconic Fermanagh/South Tyrone seat to the Ulster Unionists after Thursday's Westminster election.
The seat, which was won by hunger-striker Bobby Sands in 1981, saw outgoing MP Michelle Gildernew up against a single unionist candidate, Tom Elliott.
The nationalist vote was split, however, with the SDLP also having a candidate in the field.
Five years ago, Gildernew won the seat by four votes over another unionist unity candidate.
This time out the Sinn Féin woman lost by 500 votes. Elliott received 23,608 to Gildernew's 23,078.
The SDLP's John Coyle took 2,732 votes.
After being declared MP, Elliott said: "This is not a green constituency. It doesn't belong to Bobby Sands.
"It belongs to the people of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, and that is who I intend to represent."
Elsewhere the Democratic Unionist Party won eight seats, losing South Antrim to the Ulster Unionists, but retaking East Belfast from Alliance's Naomi Long.
In North Belfast the unionist pact saw the DUP's Nigel Dodds' vote rise to keep out Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly, while in South Belfast, Alasdair McDonnell of the SDLP held on to be returned as MP even though his vote was slashed by Sinn Féin's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir.
McDonnell was 900 votes ahead of the DUP's Jonathan Bell.
After the votes were counted for all eighteen Northern Ireland Westminster seats the DUP returned with eight MPs, Sinn Féin four, SDLP three, UUP two, while there is one independent, Lady Sylvia Hermon.
In Britain, David Cameron's Conservatives won a slim majority in parliament, while Labour were all but wiped out in Scotland by the Scottish Nationalist Party.
DUP leader Peter Robinson said: "I trust that our two parties, the Ulster Unionist Party and the Democratic Unionist Party, can work in the interests of the union at Westminster, because the union is going to be under pressure from Scottish nationalists."
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said: "Across constituencies Sinn Féin consolidated and built support. In many constituencies we faced a unionist pact held together by opposition to change, opposition to equality and in support of a union that is imposing austerity.
"This was most evident in Fermanagh/South Tyrone where all shades of unionism combined with the Tory party to unseat a republican woman.
"Given the small margin of difference Sinn Féin asked for a recount but this was refused.
"The people of Fermanagh and South Tyrone will come together to regain this seat from the right-wing unionist alliance. It will return a MP who will represent all in the constituency and demonstrate in word and deed a commitment to equality, respect and tolerance."
Deenihan to lighten up the darkness

Irish diaspora minister, Jimmy Deenihan, will step off with walkers this weekend in New York's first ever "Darkness into Light" 5k Walk in the Bronx.
"Darkness into Light walks take place in more than eighty locations across Ireland and internationally and I'm thrilled to take place in this, the first New York walk.
"Thanks to funding under the Emigrant Support Programme from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Pieta House is working with the GAA and a number of other local community organizations to provide counselling and suicide prevention services to the Irish community in New York," Deenihan said.
The walk aims to raise awareness of suicide, self-harm, and other mental health issues.
Gaelic Park will be the starting point and finish for the walk which will it pass through nearby Van Cortlandt Park. Walkers will start assembling at 4 a.m. with a starting time for the walk of 5.15 a.m. on Saturday, May 9.
For more information about Darkness Into Light New York contact Kieran O'Brien firstname.lastname@example.com, Caroline O'Connell at (212) 470-8470. Or the Darkness Into Light New York Facebook page.
Meanwhile, Minister Deenihan will also be attending a number of other events in the tristate area which was preceded by a visit to Newfoundland in Canada.
In New York, Deenihan will also be guest of honor at the New York launch of Drew University's Transatlantic Connections 2 conference. The conference will take place in Bundoran, Co. Donegal in January, 2016.
The minister will then travel to Hamden, Connecticut, to visit Ireland's Great Hunger Museum and Institute at Quinnipiac University.
The University is currently exhibiting "Saving the Famine Irish: The Grey Nuns and the Great Hunger," which explores the little-known story of the Grey Nuns of Montreal, who provided care and shelter to tens of thousands of Irish immigrants during the Great Famine.
Minister Deenihan will also travel to Parsippany, New Jersey for Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann's annual North American Convention and Fleadh.
The convention brings together the best of Irish traditional music, dance and arts in North America.
The minister will have the opportunity to view "The Sligo Masters," the story of three of the greatest fiddle players ever to grace the traditional Irish Music stage: Michael Coleman, Paddy Killoran and James Morrison.
"Irish music, and culture more generally, is one of the most effective ways of connecting our diaspora, strengthening their links to home and maintaining expressions of Irish identity through generations," said Deenihan.
"I am delighted to support Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann through the Emigrant Support Programme. Their work will ensure that Irish music will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come."
The minister will also attend a business brunch hosted by Irish Network New Jersey. IN-NJ connects Irish, Irish Americans and friends of Ireland across New Jersey through business, arts, sport, and social activities.
North poll

Northern Ireland goes to the polls tomorrow to vote in the Westminster election.
Eighteen seats are up for grabs and while many are viewed as a foregone conclusion three of the four Belfast seats could see a change of MP.
In West Belfast, Sinn Féin's Paul Maskey is expected to top the poll; however, North Belfast will be a two way tussle between outgoing MP, the DUP's Nigel Dodds, and Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly.
Although the SDLP are also standing in this seat, Kelly is trying to convince nationalists that they now have a majority in this constituency which was once a bastion of unionism, and to come out and make history on May 7.
In East Belfast the DUP are favorites to wrestle the seat back from Alliance's Naomi Long, who famously defeated First Minister Peter Robinson five years ago.
That said, Long has proved to be a formidable politician and she is fighting for every vote in a constituency that was the center of the loyalist flag protest.
Another intriguing battle is in the south of the city. SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell, who has been MP for the constituency for ten years, has been criticized in many quarters for running a lack luster campaign. He is defending a 6,000 majority but this time Sinn Féin are in the field with South Belfast MLA (and Irish Echo publisher) Máirtin Ó Muilleoir, while the DUP are also talking up their chances of splitting the nationalist vote and winning the seat.
However, Dr. McDonnell is confident of being returned as MP.
"My record of delivery for South Belfast over the last ten years as an MP and over the least thirty years as an elected representative and community activist stands for itself," he told the Irish Echo.
"We have delivered economic growth and job creation in places like the Gasworks. We have welcomed a new migrant community that has enriched our constituency. I want to build on that success and I sense that the people here back my plans to do that. With their support and the support of my fantastic canvassing teams, we will retain this seat and use that mandate to lock the Tories out of government."
Sinn Féin's Ó Muilleoir, whose odds have plummeted dramatically from 33/1 on the day the campaign began to just 4/1 this week, said he is receiving strong support during canvassing.
"I am buoyed by the positive reaction on the doorsteps as I pledge to deliver the platform of progress which I popularized as Lord Mayor of Belfast: building the peace, fostering reconciliation, celebrating diversity and focusing on jobs and investment."
"I topped the poll last year in Balmoral (ward), my colleague Deirdre Hargey topped the poll in Botanic, and I am very confident that I will top the nationalist poll this time and take the seat with the support of progressives right across the constituency," he said in reference to last year's Belfast City Council election.
Candidates are also standing for the Legislative Assembly at Stormont.
Irish nanny could be on bail during trial
By Jim Smith
BOSTON — The Irish nanny who is accused of murdering a young girl in her care in 2013 may be released on bail today after being in prison while awaiting trial for more than two years.
Aisling Brady McCarthy's trial has been delayed once again based after Middlesex Superior Court Judge Maureen Hogan's decision last week to order the medical examiner to "re-review" all of the medical evidence in the case, some of which may shed new light on possible causes of the child's fatal injuries.
If McCarthy – a native of County Cavan – is released on bail for the duration of the upcoming trial, she will likely be ordered to wear a GPS bracelet.
She has been held on $500,000 bail since she was first incarcerated at Framingham State Prison in January 2013, this following the death of one-year-old Rehma Sabir.
Doctors at Children's Hospital in Boston discovered retinal hemorrhaging and concluded at the time that the child's injuries stemmed from "abusive head trauma," but McCarthy's lawyers claim that she had no role in the infant's death and that other medical factors may have played a role.
Investigators had found blood-stained items at the apartment, including baby wipes, a blanket and a pillow. The stains were evidently from internal injuries and not from lacerations.
Defense lawyers have argued in pre-trial conferences that doctors had given insufficient weight to other possible causes of death, such as old injuries the child may have received while out of the country in the care of her family.
The 36-year-old nanny was living illegally in the U.S. at the time of the child's death, having overstayed a 90-day visitor visa which had been issued in 2002.
After doctors at Children's Hospital determined that the baby had suffered "abusive head trauma," Dr. Alice Newton, medical director of the Child Protection Team, said in court documents that these could be caused by "violent shaking" or by "impact to the head, either by directly striking the head or causing the head to strike another object or surface."
One piece of evidence discovered at the apartment was a missing piece of wall plaster next to the baby's changing table, which was consistent with forceful impact against the wall by the corner of the table.
During the arraignment in early February 2013, McCarthy's lawyer, Melinda Thompson, said that her client "has no idea what happened to this child."
Irish aid being pulled in many directions
Minister Sean Sherlock (r) meeting with Concern CEO Dominic McSorley in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Irish Aid photo.
By Ray O'Hanlon
Ireland's relationships with the countries of the world is manifested at many levels.
But what has become especially prominent in recent years is a twin-pronged approach that can be summed up thus: "trade and aid."
The Department of Foreign Affairs is, of late, also the Department of Trade.
"Aid," too, could be easily tagged on to the department's current title.
Ireland is not a superpower, not a big and powerful country.
But it is rich and prosperous compared to many of the world's nations and sees this position of privilege as a primary spur for giving aid and comfort to less well-off countries, or countries that suffer sudden calamitous disasters.
So it was of little surprise that the Irish government announced in recent days that it would continue to spend "at least" fifty percent of Irish overseas aid in the world's poorest countries.
Ireland, said the Minister of State for Development, Trade Promotion, and North South Co-Operation, Seán Sherlock, is among the most effective countries in the world at targeting aid at those who need it most, "a policy we are committed to pursuing in the coming years."
Minister Sherlock made his remarks to coincide with Global Citizen Earth Day, organized in Washington, D.C. by the ONE Foundation. Ireland's Ambassador to the United Nations, David Donoghue, made the announcement in Washington on behalf of Ireland.
"I am proud to commit that Ireland, through Irish Aid, will continue to spend at least fifty percent of our aid budget in the least developed countries and to do as much as we can on aid. We will work with our partners in Europe and beyond to convince them to do so too," Minister Sherlock said.
Given the state of affairs in a number of countries and regions of late, there is no doubt that every cent that Ireland has set aside for overseas aid will be spent.
In recent months, Irish relief aid has been allocated to parts of the world as far apart as West Africa (to combat the Ebola crisis) Syria, where the civil war continues to rage, even as the country suffers the appalling depredations brought upon it by ISIS, Libya, and now Nepal, devastated in a recent days by a major earthquake.
Ireland has dispatched thousands of blankets, tents, tarpaulins, jerry cans and other urgent supplies to assist families affected by the recent earthquake in Nepal, this according to a Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade release.
Over 63 tons of Irish humanitarian supplies will be distributed by Irish Aid's NGO partner, Plan Ireland, in the Kathmandu-Makwanpur area, focusing on those most severely affected, and those living in temporary settlements or in the open air since their homes were destroyed, said the release.
The first of three airlifts, worth over €500,000 in total, was dispatched from the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot in Dubai, where Ireland pre-positions supplies for use in global emergencies.
Irish Aid – the government aid arm and the Irish equivalent of U.S. Aid – also has pre-positioned emergency humanitarian supplies in Accra in Ghana, Brindisi in Italy, Panama City in Panama, and Subang in Malaysia. The supplies are held within airport complexes.
The Irish government also has a Rapid Response Corps, a roster of highly-skilled and experienced volunteers who make themselves available to deploy, at short notice, to work with Ireland's UN partners in disaster stricken parts of the world.
The Corps currently comprises over 90 individuals with specialized skills in logistics, engineering, water and sanitation, humanitarian coordination and protection.
Those skills are currently being put to the test in Nepal.
"The government of Nepal has requested international assistance and Ireland is responding to the best of our ability. These emergency airlifts will focus on the most vulnerable," said Foreign Affairs Minister, Charlie Flanagan.
"My department is monitoring the situation closely and, as needs assessments come in and a fuller picture of humanitarian needs emerges, we will consider what further assistance we can provide, including further stocks airlifts. We are also liaising with our UN partners to deploy highly skilled members of Ireland's Rapid Response Corps," Flanagan said.
"We need to ensure that the right aid is delivered to the region to assist in the efforts in a meaningful way. These supplies are designed to have immediate impact and we are monitoring this situation closely," added Minister Sherlock.
Two days after the earthquake, Minister Sherlock announced initial funding of one million euro to provide life-saving assistance to displaced Nepalese families.

The Role of Liquidity and Implicit Guarantees in the German Twin Crisis of 1931
Using monthly balance-sheet data of all major German credit banks, we analyze deposit with-drawals and bank failures in the German banking and currency crisis of 1931. We find that de-posit withdrawals were driven by the run on the currency, but were also related to banks' liquidity positions; that branch banks were no more stable than unit banks; and that large banks were privileged, being bailed out and receiving preferential access to the discount window. These findings underline the importance of liquidity and implicit guarantees in twin crises, while they question the benefits of branching in such crises.
