Wolcott wraps up a spot in playoffs
WOLCOTT — Before Saturday night's game at Joe Monroe Field, no football team had forced more than two turnovers against Woodland. In fact, the Hawks had given away the ball just four times in seven games.
Wolcott bucked that trend. Big-time.
The Eagles intercepted Woodland quarterback Tanner Kingsley three times, recovered a fumble and cruised on offense as they clinched a Class M state postseason berth in a 54-12 rout.
Woodland (6-2) had six second-half possessions: One was a three-and-out, two ended with interceptions, one finished with a strip sack, and two concluded in turnovers on downs.
Pretty good for a Wolcott (8-1) squad playing against a team that wiped the floor with every Naugatuck Valley League Copper Division defense.
"We knew how tough their offense was to defend," Wolcott coach Jason Pace said. "We just tried to mix things up. At times we sent pressure and at times we dropped into coverage. We changed coverages on every play. We tried to make (Kingsley) uncomfortable as far as his reads and our pressure."
Kingsley fell three times to Wolcott sacks and tossed three picks, including a pair on the Hawks' second and third drives after halftime, to essentially put the game out of reach midway through the third quarter.
"We know he's a very accurate quarterback and one of the best in the league," said Mike Nicol, who made the last interception in the end zone to cap a tremendous night for himself. "We took a chance on their run and dropped into coverage. We know (Anthony) Scirpo and (Rahmi) Rountree are very good receivers and we had to stay over the top on them."
The Eagles did exactly
See WOLCOTT, Page 5C that, allowing Kingsley to complete only two passes of more than 10 yards. Scirpo's two first-half touchdown receptions of 9 and 5 yards were the only Woodland scores.
That 5-yarder, which made it a 13-12 Wolcott lead with 2:07 to play in the first half, looked like it would be the game's momentum shifter, with the Hawks set to receive the opening kickoff of the second half.
But Nicol and the Eagles' offense had other plans, putting together a six-play, 66-yard drive over the next 1:56 that ended in a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jason Pelletier and made it a 20-12 lead.
"We wanted to waste clock but a touchdown is better than running out of time," said Nicol, who was 8-of-11 passing for 120 yards and four touchdowns. "I'll take a touchdown any day."
Woodland went three-and-out on its first possession of the second half, which began at midfield after a Wolcott penalty. The Eagles then made quick and easy work of the Hawks' defense in the third quarter.
Wolcott's first two plays of the half consisted of a 44-yard run by Nicol and a 35-yard touchdown trot by Joe Lynch to make it 27-12.
After Brett Brennan picked off Kingsley on the Hawks' next play, the Eagles needed just three more plays to score again, finishing that drive on a 38-yard pass from Nicol to Ryan Caggiano to make it 34-12.
"Our goal was to keep the ball out of their hands," Pace said. "All year long our offense has been consistent. It's really a collective effort. You can say it's led by Mike Nicol, and he does make plays, but it's the entire team."
Nicol picked Kingsley in the end zone on a fourth-down play to finish the next drive. Lynch later put in a 16-yard touchdown run for his last damage of the night. He finished with 129 yards.
Wolcott forced another turnover on the ensuing drive when Brandon Walker stripped Kingsley and Kyle Stender recovered. Nicol scored a few plays later on a 19-yard run to make it 47-12.
"This week Coach (Pace) set up a different defense to have five in the box and have everyone else drop back because Kingsley is a good quarterback," said Jim Nelson, who also had a sack. "The defense just kept on them. We didn't give up."
Wolcott outgained Woodland 409-213 and was plus-four in the turnover department. If you're the Hawks, it's a recipe for a big loss.
"If you can't make tackles in space, turn the ball over and have penalties, you're not going to win many games," Woodland coach Tim Shea said.
For the Eagles, it's a formula for their second postseason berth in as many years. But at least one player had to be reminded of the clinch immediately after the game.
"We're in?" Nelson asked. "Cool."

Win or lose, Tuesday was bound to be sort of a bittersweet day for first year Seneca head girls' basketball coach Darryl Harbaugh. Not only was he donning the red and blue of the Seneca Indians for the first time as their head coach, at the same school his kids once attended, nonetheless, but across the scorers table stood a team in black and gold — many of whom he knew well after spending eight years as a teacher and coach at Neosho High School.
"The girls were probably more nervous than I was," Harbaugh said.
Once the game got underway, however, it was business as usual for everyone involved, and Neosho escaped with a thrilling 49-46 victory in the regular season opener at Seneca High School.
Leading 44-40 with 53 seconds left in the game, Seneca's Elena Wood buried a 3-pointer to cut it to one point. Neosho's Morgan Rogers followed by hitting the front end of two foul shots before teammate Whitney Wise rebounded the miss on the second shot and put it back in off the glass to give Neosho a 47-43 lead.
That shot loomed large, as Mirana Heath would bury a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left off an inbounds set to cut the deficit to 47-46. Neosho's Chelsey Henry would later hit two free throws with 4.7 seconds remaining to make it 49-46.
Perhaps those nerves played a role in the start of the game, as the Lady Wildcats quickly jumped out to a 6-0 lead on three baskets by Brooke Stauffer early in the first quarter. Neosho's defense was also particularly good in the early stages, holding the Lady Indians to a basket by Molli Cooper in the first quarter.
Neosho led 8-2 entering the second quarter, but the momentum quickly shifted as the Lady Indians put together a solid run which saw them take a 12-11 lead on a 3-pointer by Wood with 2:45 to go in the first half. Bailey Skelton scored eight of her 12 points in the quarter to help Seneca take an 18-17 advantage into the half.
"The girls played hard, we've just got to improve on free throws and scoring down inside on the paint," Harbaugh said. "We got the ball down inside a few times and just came away with nothing. Very disappointing. There's a lot of little things we've got to work on.
"But the kids played hard, that's one thing. They went all out."
The Lady Wildcats maintained the lead for almost the entire first half, until Seneca's last second quarter surge helped steal some of the momentum. Credit Neosho for taking that momentum back in the third quarter and taking a 34-30 lead into the fourth quarter.
Page 2 of 2 - The Lady Wildcats grew their lead to as many as eight points (40-32) early in the fourth quarter, but the Lady Indians responded with a 7-0 run to cut it to 40-39. From there they traded blows, but never trailed.
"Darryl (Harbaugh) and I both talked after the game and we both decided it was a sloppy game on both sides," Lady Wildcats coach Lance Robbins said. "They made a little run on us there that first half and we fought our way back in. (The Lady Indians) are a scrappy team and he does a good job with them.
"We made some key plays down there at the end of the game."
Henry had a big day for Neosho and led all scorers with 15 points. Stauffer followed with 13 points, while Morgan Rogers added 11, Wise eight and Addi Long two.
Heath led the Lady Indians with 13 points, while Bailey Skelton added 12, Wood and Molli Cooper had seven each, Maranda Cooper four and Courtney Cook one.
Neosho (1-0) travels to Joplin to take on the Lady Eagles at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. The Lady Indians (0-1) travel to McDonald County on Dec. 9 at 6 p.m.

Planes Turn Back, But Ships Continue Search For Flight 370
Originally published on Thu March 27, 2014 2:42 pm
Nearly three weeks after it disappeared, the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and any sign of the 239 people who were on board continues in the southern Indian Ocean. Thursday's news is that:
-- Planes Grounded. Bad weather in the search area, about 1,500 miles southwest of Perth, Australia, has forced planes involved in the operation to turn around and return to Australia. But the Australian Maritime Safety Authority says the five ships assisting in the search are continuing to look for any signs of the jet.
According to the safety authority, the bad weather is expected to continue for at least the next 24 hours. So the aerial search may have to be suspended on Friday, as well.
-- Another Satellite Image. As the BBC reports, "a Thai satellite has detected some 300 objects in an area of the southern Indian Ocean being searched for [the] missing Malaysia Airlines flight." The image was taken on Monday, "a day after images from a French satellite purported to show 122 floating objects."
So far, though, the planes and ships searching the area have not found any debris from the missing jet.
-- Pilot's Son Speaks Out. The youngest son of Flight 370 Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah has told Malaysia's New Straits Times that "I know my father," and he rejects speculation that the pilot may have deliberately crashed the plane.
As the BBC explains, "investigators have ruled nothing out, including mechanical or electrical failure, hijacking, sabotage or deliberate action by the pilot or co-pilot. On Wednesday, FBI chief James Comey said that analysis of data from a flight simulator taken from the home of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah should be completed 'within a day or two.' "
The Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared in the early hours of March 8, local time, which was midday March 7 on the East Coast of the U.S. Bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 passengers and crew, it was over the Gulf of Thailand between Malaysia and Vietnam when the last message from the cockpit to air traffic controllers — "all right, good night" — was heard.
Investigators believe the plane then turned sharply to the west, and flew back over the Malay Peninsula and south over the Indian Ocean. It may have been in the air for six or seven more hours. Theories about what happened vary widely, from some sort of catastrophe on board that disabled the crew to a hijacking.
There have been a series of satellite images in recent days showing large objects floating in the area, and analyses of some signals sent from the jet have led investigators to believe it likely dropped into the southern Indian Ocean. But as of Thursday evening (local time) in the area, nothing definitive had been found. Officials have cautioned throughout the search that it is not unusual to find shipping containers and other large objects floating in the waters there.
According to the Australian maritime authority, six countries are assisting in the search and recovery operation — Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Japan, China and the Republic of Korea.

Wednesday's letters: Education budget
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 5:46 p.m.
To the editor: I was recently informed that our N.C. House is voting on a budget that will severely cut the education budget and result in the removal of many teacher assistants positions. As a current student of the N.C. school system and the daughter of an elementary school teacher, I was terribly disturbed that this budget plan had already passed our state Senate.
I have always been told that knowledge holds more power than any other force in the universe. If education is so important and children really are the future, why is it necessary to constantly cut their funding to the point where their dollar is being stretched more than their imagination?
Assistants, teachers and students deserve our states support. Our state representatives are just that: ours. Let your representatives know that education budget cuts are not acceptable. Tell them that assistants are vital assets to elementary education. Inform them that a lack of support for our educators will result in a lack of support for them.
Take this time to let the children know that we care, and we will not be silent.
Lindsay McNair Patton
Full disclosure
To the editor: Well, its taken multiple scandals and blatant evidence of total disregard for rule of law for the sheeple of this country to finally show some momentary concern over what many of us have been following for the past five years! And that is that the radical left in the personage of the ODrama administration has been stealthily dismantling America as we knew it to perpetuate its power ad infinitum and create its long-awaited statist dystopia where the government has supreme power over our lives.
But the real culpability to this reality has been the electorate who chose not only to elect but re-elect this corrupt crew without a clue to continue to run this nation into the ground.
I only hope that the folks will put down their remotes long enough from watching reality TV programs in order to see the genuine reality that we are losing our traditional freedoms and liberties under this corrupt administrations stealth agenda every day!
Given the fact that general public interest is transient at best, we can only hope and pray that justice will be served and full disclosure will be realized!

1(In ancient Rome) a commoner.
Example sentences

1.1Of or belonging to the lower social classes: two dancers, one royal and one plebeian

- For the moment then, the TV executive who discriminated against me because of my plebeian roots is probably safe to continue discriminating against other cheeky upstarts.

I've noticed that everytime I stream a mkv with DTS or DTS-HD audio to my PS3 Slim, the left Surround-speaker of my 5.1 is mute. All other speakers work well. I tried all preferences in PMS without any improvement. Worth mentioning is that this problem only exist when the audiostream is DTS or DTS-HD, there aren't troubles with 5.1 PCM or 5.1 Dolby Digital (AC3).
I stream the mkvs from my imac to the ps3 slim, they're connected via 1gbit lan. Finally the ps3 slim is connected to my Denon AVR-1312. And in addition here's the config of my PMS:
- Code: Select all

Would be thankful for any help or ideas how to solve the problem.

IMPORTANT UPDATE AS OF JULY 29, 2016: Taking a look back at my mental health hurdles and accomplishments during the short duration of this mini-documentary is astounding. I made much progress in a few months; however, I would like to present where I am at now versus two years ago. Approximately two months ago, after about 10 sessions of EMDR (Eye Movement Disorientation and Reprocessing) Therapy, I am officially no longer diagnosed with Complex-PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). While I still have lingering complications that come along with PTSD, I am ecstatic to say I have started my first on-air position directly after graduating from the University of Kansas in December of 2015. I've been working as a morning show host and as a DJ for three stations at Great Plains Media, for about two months! I've been able to reduce and even entirely rid myself of many medications I previously needed. To put it concisely–I am better than I ever conceived would be possible. I hope that my struggle, along with my success to overcome it, helps even one individual who sees this story and/or documentary. Thank you for visiting, and I would love to hear your feedback!
-Terran Smith
The United States Census Bureau recorded the population number at 316.1 million as of 2013. Of more than 2.3 million veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, approximately 460,000, (20 percent), have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Findings from the National Vietnam Veterans' Readjustment Study confirms one out of every five is the astonishing prevalence of PTSD in said military officials and troops.
Experiencing trauma doesn't automatically give someone PTSD. In fact, more than half of the nation's population will experience trauma at some point. Of the entirety of the US population, about seven to eight percent have or will have PTSD at some point in their lives, according to the National Center for PTSD.
Mass media and the consistent coverage of PTSD increased awareness in recent years, specifically with regards to war veterans. It is true, as found in the National Center for PTSD, that intentional traumas, including combat, are more likely to cause this disorder; however, it is imperative to remember the infinite intentional trauma scenarios, (i.e. kidnapping, domestic violence, childhood abuse, etc.), unrelated to war veterans in order to prevent further stigmatization of said population and to stop overlooking the individuals that make up more than 93% of the population of persons with PTSD.
The first thing I ever remember was the jar of translucent, red marbles. Each piece of glass had an intricate shape, and clouds passing in the sky, watching them kept my undivided attention. My mom used this fascination as an opportunity to see just how much she could teach her tiny toddler about numbers and mathematics.
The marbles, used as a visual aid, each represented one of my friends, as my mom explained. After a few problems of addition and subtraction, I remember the moment I understood what my mother meant by "two times two." In that sitting, the hunch that I was different from most children my age was confirmed by my mother's face; it contorted with complete astonishment as I grasped the concept of multiplication and division at the ridiculous age of two.
I attended school a year early, skipped second grade, participated in the gifted programs, yet I still wasn't being challenged enough as a child. As I neared age 10 in late 2001, already overwhelmed by my parents' recent divorce, the immense boredom from lack of stimulation became too much to take any longer.
My parents decided to find a school that would better accommodate my needs for my fifth grade year of elementary school. After a series of academic testing sessions, I was accepted to attend a private school designed specifically to educate individuals who are either gifted learners, or are simply unable to learn in a traditional classroom setting.
Accelerated Schools, located in Olathe, Kan., included grades four through nine in the same classroom. One of the students who rode the same bus as myself was named Tyler, and even though I was barely in the double digits, my age didn't stop his 14-year-old mind from creating a delusion of a relationship between us. This delusion would start with vulgar harassment, and unfortunately resulted in my rape as an innocent child, as well as the diagnosis of PTSD more than four years later.
Although I happen to be one of the lucky 50 percent of the individuals who have this disorder to actually be diagnosed with it, I treated the symptoms the only way I knew how for a very long time–by masking them with medicine. During the past five years, I lost the presence of myself as an individual as prescription drugs and the side effects they had on my behavior replaced my identity one part at a a time.
It was a little more than a year ago when I came to the realization I needed to decide whether to allow this disability to take complete control over my existence, or to take back the reins on my own life. On December 1st, 2013, I quit smoking cigarettes, lost 40 lbs. by February 1st, 2014, trained my dog, Tootsie, last spring to be my service animal, and even moved into an apartment without an roommate for the first time.
The steps I took before Fall semester of this school year were undoubtedly positive; however, PTSD itself is not treated with medication, only the symptoms it causes are. Because of this, when the condition is left untreated, it greatly worsens over time. I felt my self as a whole slip through my fingers as I hit rock bottom early in August of this year. It took me until the beginning of October to see beyond my pride and into the hypocrisy of my behavior versus my beliefs.
I've represented myself as an advocacy journalist throughout college and the two years and counting that I've had this website because I truly do love to tell the public informative stories that give something back to help others and the community overall. It was the moment I thought about my audience that I realized how phony I was being, not only to myself, but to every individual I claim to represent on this blog.
With my career, credibility, and conscience all hanging in the balance, I decided to make a change for the better, seek improvement through self-exposure treatment to the things I have been avoiding for so many years, and to document the struggle along my path to happiness for all friends, family, acquaintances and audiences to see. Additionally, I made the difficult decision to withdraw from almost all of my courses for the semester in order to fully dedicate myself to the healing process.
Since I began progressing through treatment a little over two months ago, I've lowered my prescription medication dosages greatly, am returning to school next semester with about 15 credit hours left to graduate and have honestly accomplished improvements more vast than I could ever have imagined. However, the amount of work and struggle it took along the way were just as frequent.
Exposing myself to situations I would normally avoid is the most successful, long-term treatment, but in most all cases causes symptoms like flashbacks and anxiety attacks to become more likely and more extreme. Other than the uncomfortable symptoms that intensified from exposure treatment, the reduction of my medication, namely Xanax, had adverse physical consequences I can only be thankful didn't hurt me.
Whilst lowering my prescription of the highly addictive, controlled substance called Xanax, I experienced withdrawal from my body's built-up dependence to the drug, and actually went into convulsions whilst experiencing a seizure less than a month ago. Thankfully my boyfriend, Joel, was around at the time; it goes without saying that incident scared the hell out of the both of us.
The challenges I've faced were mental, emotional and physical. I may never be completely free of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but what's important is the constant effort I make to become a healthier, happier and more helpful person.
Many people believe that we never truly stop growing as individuals. This milestone in my life's journey taught me it is, in fact, true that we never stop growing if we try, but it's also true that if we stop trying, we never grow.

Vienna mayor supports home rule for city
March 28, 2013
VIENNA — Mayor Randy Rapp said he would be in favor of home rule in Vienna if the pilot program passes in the state Legislature this session....
the truth of the matter on this is about increased revenue. mayor rapp all the time talks about tax increases. be the storm water fees paid or getting the 1% sales tax. if and I repeat IF any person really thinks any business is going to reduce their costs to the end user because of a reduction in the b&o tax they are quite naïve. any sound business is already passing the b&o tax on to the buyer as part of doing business. any reduction serves two purposes: 1. increase business profits be it ever so slightly.2. allow rapp to get the 1% for his increased spending plans. now the b7o is divided between the state and city as I have been advised.

this gives rapp an additional 1/2% and if one is awake, one knows that once the door is opened on a new tax it will eventually go up. rapp is already wanting to raise storm water fees because of the costs that are already out of control here. it is somewhat funny that wv., is reinventing the wheel. the city manager/ home rule concept has been around for decades and serves two purposes. 1. insulates the mayor/ city council from the behavior of the city staff/ city manager. alibi: gee whiz, I didn't know that? allows even more spending because they are again insulated from the results of whatever they scheme up. have watched this in other places and the city manager when not inebriated was a dictator with no controls except to the mayor and maybe one or two council members. enough to keep the job if necessary. sure may be some advantages to a tiny town of a couple of thousand people; but even they need to aware of the cost of this city manager? it is not a part time job.

makes sense for a village like vienna. The whole operation would run smoother and cheaper with a city manager taking care of business.

jbennett. Did you ever notice that those that are the most critical of someone trying to do good for the City as Mayor Rapp is.. They like Teflon are the least informend or perhaps don't just understand. Where do you suppose he gets his "advice" from. Tea Leaves??

If this statement is correct - "The Vienna Wal-Mart does not pay the B&O tax", then this new tax would not be necessary, right? How about Lowe's, do they pay the B&O tax? Again, these are questions, not statements of fact and if true then the citizens of Vienna should be outraged.

Gut microbes affect blood vessel architecture
Gothenburg – Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy have discovered a previously unknown mechanism which helps intestinal bacteria to affect the formation of blood vessels. In a study of mice, the team led by Fredrik Bäckhed found out how gut microbes influence blood vasculature remodelling in the intestine. The results open up future opportunities to control the intestine's absorption of nutrients, which in turn may be used to treat conditions such as intestinal diseases and obesity. The study focuses on "villi", finger-like projections which are about one millimetre long, and which increase the surface area of the intestine and maximise its ability to absorb nutrients. In the presence of bacteria, these villi become shorter and wider, which means that new blood vessels must be formed. However, the process involved has previously been unclear."Our study shows that signals from the normal gut microbiota that induces blood vessel formation in the small intestine", Bäckhed said . "In simplified terms, the intestinal bacteria promote the mucosal cells in the intestine to attach a sugar molecule to a specific protein. The sugar molecule acts like a zip code moving it to the cell surface where it induces signalling.

Missouri loses about $468 million per year in uncollected sales tax on purchases made over the Internet, according to researchers at the University of Missouri Truman School of Public Affairs.
The state misses the money in part because it hasn't signed onto a 1999 agreement to simplify and encourage voluntary collection of sales taxes by e-commerce retailers, The Kansas City Star reported. Only about half of the states have signed the agreement.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot levy sales and use taxes on businesses that don't have a store, office or other physical location in the state. Missouri consumers are technically required to pay taxes on purchases from outside the state, but almost none comply.
To remedy that situation, the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures created the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax, which is meant to simplify sales tax collection across jurisdictions that have varying tax rates.

Lottery officials have announced that the winning numbers in Saturday's Powerball jackpot are: 22, 10, 13, 14, 52 and a Powerball of 11.
Officials estimate the jackpot at $590.5 million, and it will likely be hours -- or longer -- before they know how many winning tickets were purchased, if any.
But with four of every five possible combinations of Powerball numbers in play, someone is almost sure to win the game's highest jackpot, the Associated Press reported.
The chances of winning the prize remain astronomically low: 1 in 175.2 million. That's how many different ways you can combine the numbers when you play.
Since about 80 percent of the possible combinations have been purchased, lottery officials say it's likely the winning ticket could be selected.
The $590.5 million jackpot is slightly less than the $600 million lottery officials had talked about earlier Saturday. The amount depends on the number of $2 tickets purchased.

IrishCentral's guide to the perfect Celtic wedding: Click here
Irish wedding tips and traditions: Click here
Traditional Irish wedding cake recipe: Click here
Just when I think I have my dad all figured out, a new snippet of info comes to light, and June always finds me thinking more about him than usual. It's Father's Day month, his birthday was the 3rd, and my parents were married on June 16th, now celebrated globally as Bloomsday, the day Leopold Bloom wandered through Dublin in Ulysses by James Joyce, Dad's favorite author.
June is also the prime month for weddings, and Dad was a wedding photographer. He used to say he'd like to write a book about his wedding adventures titled I Shot the Bride with a 4-5, meaning his trusty 4x5 press camera.
Almost immediately on beginning the research for this article on Irish wedding traditions, I chanced upon some eye-opening Irish marriage advice: "Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses, and Saturday no day at all." Another Dad revelation! For the year my parents were married, June 16, occurred on a Wednesday, and why they chose a midweek nuptial instead of the usual Saturday had always mystified me.
Finding a life partner to love and cherish, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health is certainly the best reason to marry. It appears that my father was taking no chances and picked an auspicious Irish traditional day to tie the knot.
For centuries, most Irish marriages were arranged to benefit the families involved with increased land holdings, power or wealth. A daughter who was not pretty could be made beautiful with a handsome dowry. Love came later, if at all.
Producing healthy offspring was what brought the sexes together. In pre-Christian times, people believed that breeding healthy children was the only way to persuade nature to provide abundant crops and wells that would not run dry. Sterility was a social disgrace and an economic tragedy, and testing a prospective partner's fertility by trial marriage or bed sharing ("bundling") was widely accepted.
These practices faded during the Famine years, but charms and rituals continued being employed to assure a couple's fertility. Though the phrase tying the knot now means uniting two people with marriage vows, folk once believed the bride could be made sterile by anyone who tied knots in a string during the marriage ceremony. A protective ritual involved tying a hen that was about to lay an egg to the newlyweds' bedpost.
Whiskey played a part at every stage of the nuptials. In A Historical and Statistical Account of the Barony of Upper Fews in the County of Armagh, 1838, J. Donaldson described a country wedding. "The male brings the female to his relations' house, and the girl's relatives follow to negotiate the match. When the couple's families agree on a mutually acceptable bride-price, an agreement bottle of whiskey is shared, whereupon the bride returns home to prepare for her marriage.
On the wedding day, the groom's party rides to the bride's home, where they are met by the bridal party. Before leaving her home, the couple take three mouthfuls from a plate of oatmeal and salt to ward off the evil eye. Then all ride to the priest's residence. After the nuptial blessing, everyone retires to an ale-house for the bride's drink, from whence they gallop to the bride's house in a race for the bottle.
The first person to arrive at the bride's house receives the bottle, returns to the wedding party, and gives the whiskey to the bridegroom, who drinks then hands it to his bride, who also partakes. The bottle is passed round until nearly empty, at which point the bridegroom flings it and its dregs away. They return to the bride's home, where a cake is broken over the bride's head while young people scramble for bits to place under their pillows so they may dream of their future mates."
Since ancient times, a couple's marriage contract has been sealed with a ring, the symbol of eternity. During Ireland's medieval period it was often a three-part ring of two hands clasped over two hearts. One each of the three parts was kept by the girl, her suitor and the priest, and all sections were united at the marriage ceremony. The design is very much like today's popular Claddagh ring.
