Admiral Browning
Battle Stations
Admiral Browning is a fantastic three-piece instrumental group from Maryland, and their third self-released album Battle Stations proves that instrumental metal doesn't have to be overtly cerebral or monotonous. This trio is also a band with a lot of heart, and the album contains a back-cover dedication "to all those remaining positive while battling life-threatening illness or disease, to those who persevere and overcome in the face of insurmountable odds, to those that rebuke thoughts of turning pain into suffering, and to survivors that refuse to give up." This is heavy subject matter, considering the vibrant and illustrious album art (done by LA-based artist Sean "Skillit" McEleny), and it's refreshing to see a band incorporate a deep message with more light-hearted musical fare.
Admiral Browning's previous album, Magic Elixir, was a twisting circus of varying tempo and feel, and while Battle Stations still provides plenty of dramatic shifts, there is also a newfound sense of maturity in the songwriting. It's still an amusing blend of stoner metal and prog, and fans of either genre will likely enjoy the hell out of this release. Battle Stations is a fun and easy listen, not just because of its brevity (the album is less than forty minutes long), but also because of its accessible sound. The whole album could very well be perceived as one epic track, with each tune flowing into the next while remaining compelling and innovative.
"Riff Crisis" opens with an ominous and robotic premonition, followed by weighty guitars and laid-back drums. With instrumental metal especially, problems with the mix can absolutely destroy an otherwise excellent record, so it's a relief to be able to report that there are no problems in that regard. Admiral Browning also understands the listener's attention span and takes this into account with well-timed transitions and captivating sections.
Referencing Star Wars is a surefire way to win me over, and Admiral Browning does so with "The Binary Language of Moisture Vaporators", a delightfully sludgy eleven-minute journey with enough narrative quality to keep things interesting. The shorter "One Lucky Canary" continues the down-tempo vibe, with gentle instrumentation and thoughtful groove. The track builds momentum before diving headfirst into distortion, and intricate, syncopated drumming allows for more progressive elements to shine through.
A brief and brilliantly executed Middle Eastern interlude leads us to the final track, "Dreams of Hammurabi". The beginning is a bit jarringly aggressive, but easy enough to adjust to. It's the most frenetic and downright "metal" track of the album, and while it eventually calms down a bit (even descending into complete silence for a moment), the song soon picks right back up and throws the listener back into progressive sonic mayhem. This is definitely the most technically impressive track, and it's as though Admiral Browning has opted to save the best for last. Middle Eastern vocals punctuate one of the more reserved moments, and the dynamics used throughout the piece are both striking and eloquent. The band's ability to fuse multiple styles is at its most imaginative here, and there's something for everyone on this track.
The end of the album truly feels like the end of an adventure, with a plot open to dozens of different interpretations. Admiral Browning has shown consistent improvement and wonderful potential, and their third album is arguably their best yet. Battle Stations will hopefully bring Admiral Browning a new influx of fans, because this band is deserving of a great deal of praise and recognition.

My enthusiasm for gardening normally peaks right about now for the year. It's triggered by the first prematurely warm days of spring and the stack of colorful seed and garden catalogs stockpiled on the nightstand for my bedtime reading. I fall asleep dreaming of my perfect garden: one filled with eggplants bigger than my head and bordered by neatly spaced rows of zinnias in every color of the Crayola 64 pack.
Related: 8 Perennial Vegetables Anyone Can Grow Cheap!
But it's always all downhill from here. When I actually stick the spade in the ground for the first time every year, I'm reminded that my clay soil isn't nearly as easily tilled as the pillow-soft-loamy-stuff they always picture in the catalogs. Then, when things finally start to sprout, The Great Rabbit Wars begin. I start dreaming less about my forthcoming meals of braised carrots, and more about braised rabbit, served with carrot stubs.
By the 100-degree days of July when the weeds have officially overpowered everything I so carefully planted in neat little string-lined rows with the seed packets stuck on sticks to mark them I've pretty much had my fill of gardening for the year. Yep, I'm at best a recreational user when it comes to gardening.
But this year my gardening enthusiasm is really revved-up by a terrific new book I just read called Grow Your Own Drugs , by James Wong. Wong was trained at the Royal Botanical Gardens (Kew, England) in "Ethnobotany" -- that's the study of "plant lore and customs."
Wong writes in the introduction to his book:
"... this perception of plants as purely ornamental objects is a strange cultural anomaly that has existed in only one civilization in history our own (i.e. modern day western culture). In every other culture, the plants that surround us are a living supermarket, pharmacy, a home improvement center, and even a liquor store all rolled into one."
That was enough to hook me. Wong gives practical advice and all-natural recipes for tapping the health benefit of plants many of which you can easily grow yourself -- for everything from curing athlete's foot and cold sores to preventing bad breath and flatulence (how's that for beginning to end?) I particularly appreciate the final chapter, an authoritative (and colorful) guide to the "Top 100 Medicinal Plants" you should consider growing to make herbal remedies from your own garden.
Even though affordable healthcare is apparently (finally!) on its way here in the U.S., I'm going to hedge my bets this summer and plant a few containers filled with Wong's "Top 10 Medicinal Herbs": chamomille (indigestion), echinacea (colds/flu), johnny-jump-up (anti-inflammatory), lavender (pain), lemon balm (anxiety), marigold (sunburn), peppermint (headaches), rosemary (memory), sage (coughs/congestion), St. John's wort (antidepressant).
With the help of Grow Your Own Drugs , I'm hoping that my gardening high will survive even the Cutworm Invasion this year and make it all the way to the first frost of fall.

So I lowered to 100mg e6d awhile back and have been doing fantastic with it. In fact, I have no feeling of let down at all on the day of injection, and because of a crazy schedule, waited 8 days this last week. The thing is, I felt completely fine. Had labs done last week on the morning of day 6, when I would normally inject. Came back at 709.
My question is whether I could look at lowering yet again, or if there is another reason why I would not feel any effects as my test levels lower through the week. I am doing great on this schedule, but if I could lower even more, then I'd be up for it.
I am curious about this because I have gone from 200->175->150->125->100 with progressively better results.

Our First Impression
This is a brand-new model for 2011, and believe it or not, they were able to get three fishing stations on this 15-footer, which is very impressive. Proving you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a quality fishing 'toon, this Fishmaster is set up to hook a lot of fish.
Consumer Test
Geared to be a great fishing pontoon, we love the layout on this compact 'toon. In the bow are two solid fishing stations, complete with a great folding fishing chair, two places to store your rod and a place for your beverage. And since the same fishing chair is used for the captain, you can swivel around and take advantage of the same setup in the stern, giving you six total rod holders.
A vinyl floor is a nice added touch to this model, which will help make cleanup simple. Opposite of the helm console is a comfy bench seat, complete with a rear-facing lounge, and below the seat is a livewell that completes the fishing package.
The fiberglass helm console flows well with this boat, especially for being a value-driven model. One of the few options is the Humminbird PiranhaMax fish finder, and on a boat like this you really need a nice system like this to take advantage of the fishing features. The stainless steel spoke wheel is also a nice touch, and the rocker switches are labeled well for easy use. There are plenty of options available to customize this Gillgetter to your specific needs, but if we had to be picky we'd like to see a stereo as part of the standard equipment as well as a 12-volt outlet.
Inspection Test
The 23-inch diameter pontoons are chambered with a full-length keel, and the weld quality on the splash guards as well as the rest of the undercarriage earned high marks from our inspection team. The cross-members are on 24-inch centers (12-inch centers in the stern) and are screwed to the plywood deck. Gillgetter doesn't compromise the quality just because it's a compact design.
From inside the bow gate to the rear rail there is just over nine feet of usable deck space. There are three gates on this model, and on the floor of the port side entry is a spot for the removable emergency ladder, which is a great added feature.
We found no dangerous or sharp edges on this boat, and overall again our crew had nothing but positive feedback concerning the fit and finish work on this Gillgetter.
Performance Test
Obviously this 15-footer won't be winning any speed races anytime soon, but that's not what it was designed for. She's a 15 mile per hour pontoon, and the four-stroke Mercury 25 will get you to your favorite fishing hole just fine, while the money you save on gas can be spent on new tackle.
Who Should Buy It
Don't let the price fool you; this Gillgetter has a lot to offer, especially if you thought you'd never find a solid fishing pontoon under $13K. We love the layout on this fishing masterpiece, proving you don't need to spend a lot to get a lot.
This 'toon earned a high value rating at our test, and across the board, the Gillgetter held its own in our rating system. Really the only category it didn't score high in was performance, but that's because this boat wasn't built for speed with the 25 hp engine. You can't help but appreciate the high value score that indicates you get a lot for your money with this one.

You took the unreliablest source you could find. That the author of these blog is not only a troll but also a blatant liar can be seen alone in his first post on that blog, where he states that he uses gNewSense on all his machines for 8 years now, which actually is 2 years longer than the project even exists.
Let's see if you will correct this, since I still think that this is your personal blog.

The program has been presented in seminars nationally and several states are using the program mate-rials for drug abuse education. The program's costs were substantially funded by the Board and program materi-als are available without charge. Oklahoma pharmacists throughout the state have volunteered to present the pro-gram to schools, youth groups, football camps, and adult education seminars. In his remarks at the Annual Meeting award ceremony, President Richards noted the hard work that the Board, Board Attorney Brinda White, Oklahoma Pharmacists Association, National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators, and the Oklahoma Pharmacy Educational Foundation have invested in the continuing project. More information about the program, including a link to the video, is available on the Board Web site.

Well the battle is on in battleground states the president and governor Romney campaigning in Virginia today.
Just as a new poll shows Romney op -- in Virginia today.
But will this post debate.
Balance stick France's return -- -- presents thanks for joining us got these are interesting numbers coming up.
About big big movement in in the post debate numbers that is there or not.
Well there's a movement I don't know I'd call it big but in a close race any movement is significant right now.
Virginia shows Romney up by -- point.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Virginia specifically right now Virginia had been fairly close going back and forth -- now you have.
Right we have Romney up by one point averaging 4948.
-- pre pre debate.
Were those two stand.
It it has been fairly close for a while a month ago we showed Barack Obama up by a -- or two in Virginia.
It's been consistent there has not been a blowout in Virginia all the way through this OK let's move on so let's where they were seeing there.
All right let's move let's just go through one by one and and -- you each -- Florida to talk to us -- about Florida now it shows your poll again this was her polling that came out this morning brand -- you know.
Shows Romney 49 President Obama 47.
And it's important to note that this -- all the ones we're talking about we did last night after the debate was finished.
A month ago President Obama was leading by two points in the great state of Florida this is a state Romney has to win.
So again we're seeing a modest shift away get a four point shift and it goes from Obama up by -- to Romney up by two it has a significant impact.
OK let's move on to the great state of Ohio.
All I've seen pulling -- Ohio was was Obama as much as eight or 9% now you have President Obama fifty governor Romney 49.
Right and look that you know there is some volatility in all the state polling eight years ago when President Bush was running for reelection.
There were poll showing him up later Kenton Ohio he won by his.
President Obama has been consistently ahead.
In Ohio it is a state that Mitt Romney has been struggling -- so right now Romney still down by a point there but it's a competitive situation.
And the fact is all three of these states have nobody really in the -- they are pure toss ups at this point in time the question.
Is whether this is just a balance that will -- or -- something that Mitt Romney can build upon.
And carry through the remaining month of the campaign.
-- Scott and I spoke to some from real clear politics earlier.
-- said that may be some of the jobless numbers today made the benefit president bomb a little bit.
But give us a sense of how long these things last how long the bounces last and where we should what we should look -- -- I guess the next maybe week -- so.
-- bounces last these days less than a week so if it's just a -- it will fade and they also last only until there's a better story.
The jobs numbers today give president Obama's something new to talk about a more positive direction.
I think most voters are skeptical of good economic news and what there's Republican president for democratic president.
It's repeated so the next jobs report is good -- the next series of economic reports are better.
That will definitely help President Obama if this turns out to be a one off number and the rest are contradictory.
Probably doesn't have as much of an impact.
But for right now president Obama's awfully happy to have that seven point 8% unemployment number.
Rather than something above eight.
Again the key is the -- will -- Eric.
But -- Mitt Mitt Romney does have a chance -- re engaged he's established himself at least for now is a plausible alternative.
And he is gonna have to find a way to get that message out in Ohio in Virginia.
In Florida.
And consistently present a positive message because heading into the debate.
Even people who are uncomfortable -- Barack Obama.
Weren't convinced that Mitt Romney would be any better Scott very quickly on about thirty seconds or so it 67 million people watched that debate.
Again that was Wednesday night and Thursday Thursday night you -- is there's still some room for movement in your poll from the -- It's absolutely.
There's about 10% of voters who say -- one of their candidate or the other but who could change their mind.
So there's room for more movement in either direction at this time Hart Scott Rasmussen thank you very much I appreciate your time and I guess right next couple of days very important in the poll most.
That's for sure -- Scott thank you okay.

I bought this for my 12 year old daughter's bedroom. We are in the process of re-modeling her "Hello Kitty" room she's had since the age of 3. She wanted the new room to be black, pink and a touch of zebra. I searched for weeks for a chandelier that was elegant, modern and not too expensive. Most that met our standards were well over $300 and we did not want to spend that much. I came across this one on sale and ran it past my daughter who immediately said "I want it!". From the time we placed our order to delivery was about 6 days. It arrived well packaged and the crystals were all individually wrapped. So much so that it was difficult to unwrap them. They also included a white glove for handling the crytals for hanging so they don't scratch. It was fairly easy to hang the chandelier. It took slightly less than 2 hours. The hanging of the crystals took the most time. You need to take your time and be patient as not to scratch or chip them. My husband is not an electrician, but an experience handy man if you want to judge the time it takes. My daughter loves it. It looks gorgeous. I couldn't be happier. It looks so much more expensive than what was actually paid.
This chandelier is very sexy looking. I was looking for a chandelier that would block some of the bright light coming from our ceiling mounted light. This filters and gives beautiful reflections. The Crystals are gorgeous!
this is a beautiful piece! i put it in my master closet, it makes quite a statement!
Very nice fixture however it's much larger than expected and I was upset to return. Recommend higher than average ceiling if hanging in bedroom.
Even though the crystals are real, they are held together with flimsy little rings of aluminum wire. The wiring was a MESS! I did not feel it was safe and could potentially be a fire hazard. DO NOT BUY! I also noticed that Loews online was selling the same product (for more money of course) and also had terrible reviews. Sadly, you do get what you pay for and I will be returning this immediately.
This is a GREAT fixture. We put it in our beach house master bedroom and everyone that walks in comments on it. It is very well made and the look is much more expensive then the actual cost!

UPDATE: Since Twinkies are not being made anymore, you can STILL make this delicious dessert. Tastycake makes a delicious version called Dreamies. Also, many stores make their own versions of Twinkies under different names.
Brandie, in my wildest dreams I'd have never thought of this and once again you challenge me to think out of the box! The succession of photos clearly depicts the yummy flavor profiles...and from my 'by scratch' vantage point, I'd jump off of Santa's nice list to the naughty list to try this recipe. Brava!
ReplyDeletewow..looks irresistably hearty n divine..
thanks for sharing ..:)
Tasty Appetite
Aina, you could use double cream. Just as if you are making whipped cream. Here in America, we use one cup (225 grams) of heavy whipping cream (similar to double cream) and whip it until thick. Be careful not to overwhip though. Double cream has more fat than our heavy whipping cream so it may turn into butter quicker. As it starts to thicken add in about 1/4 cup (56 grams) of powdered sugar (or icing sugar) to sweeten the whipped cream. I hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteI made this cake last weekend and it was a huge hit with everyone. I needed to make smaller desserts so I split the cake into two 8x8 pans one to take to my sons and the other stayed home for dinner with family.
Thanks for sharing
I made this for our small group potluck after church this weekend. It is so simple and pretty. I used a large box of instant pudding instead of the small one. Also added some chocolate sprinkles to the top with the nuts and cherries. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteur recipe looks like an easier version of my EX sister in law's "banana split cake"
BTW i was thinking if u sliced ur bananas leanthwise,the cake would hold together better & i bet it would be loads easier 2 spread the pineapples. im always thinking,lol.
btw i love,love,love ur blog,brandie!
Well what'll we do now that they no longer make twinkie's???? LOL
I am just tickled pink when anyone takes their precious time to leave me a message. Thank you for stopping by and thank you for commenting!
Just remember to be nice and keep it clean. This is a family blog and if you wouldn't say it to me while in my home, then don't type it on here. Thank ya kindly!

Well it appears to have been a spell since we had us a good central location for everyone to just shoot the breeze. I do not want to reinvent the 'clean thread' since that never ends well. I would however like to work towards rebuilding the feeling of community I used to feel when I started visiting AnabolicMinds. I am sure that other members know what I'm talking about and would like to see that return. I would like for others to feel what I felt when I started out here. It was what made AM different.
It is in that spirit that I start the SilentBob (no-drama) chatroom.


text: Home Politics Michelle Rhee Would Do It Again The former head of D.C. Public Schools wants to run a school system again one day -- and has no regrets. By: Joel Dreyfuss Posted: Aug. 23 2011 12:47 AM 0 Getty Images When Michelle Rhee joined a panel of experts on Martha's Vineyard to discuss the achievement gap in public education, there was no doubt that she would be a lightning rod in the discussion. She shared the stage with education historian Diane Ravitch, Harvard sociologist Lawrence Bobo, Yale psychiatrist James Comer and Princeton sociologist Angel Harris, and soon enough she was taking fire from all sides. The panel was sponsored by Harvard University's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute, which is headed by The Root's editor-in-chief, Henry Louis Gates Jr. For the past 15 years, these summer seminars have been an annual ritual at President Barack Obama's favorite vacation island, and they draw a cross section of vacationing intellectuals -- black, brown and white. The president was a few miles away but, of course, did not attend. Rhee's 3 1/2-year reign as chancellor of District of Columbia Public Schools ended in controversy. She resigned soon after her boss, Mayor Adrian Fenty, was upset in the 2010 election by City Council Chairman Vincent Gray. The conventional wisdom was that Rhee's tough approach to the D.C. schools' problems -- including firing teachers and principals and closing schools -- had alienated the city's black middle class. Her claims of dramatically improved test scores during her tenure have since been disputed. Soon after the elections, Rhee gave up Washington, D.C., for Sacramento, Calif., where her fiance, former NBA All-Star Kevin Johnson, is mayor. She also created a new organization, StudentsFirst.org, to advocate on behalf of kids in the school-reform debate. She sat down for an interview with The Root in the basement of the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, Mass., right after the panel discussion. The Root: The name of your organization implies that children are not first in the minds of educators. Michelle Rhee: You have teachers' unions. You have testing companies. You have textbook manufacturers. You have lots of people who are benefiting every day from maintaining the status quo. If you go to any school board meeting anywhere across the country, the number of times that people mention children, or students, or student achievement is very, very few. Most of the issues that are debated, that are at the forefront, are adult issues. If we took the stance of saying, "What is in the best interest of kids? What decisions would we make if we were just thinking about children and their families?" we would have a much, much different public policy. TR: The discussion got quite heated when you talked about removing poor teachers from the classroom. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR), with 18 clinics in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Michigan, is a rapidly growing group of clinics in venous insufficiency, the medical condition behind varicose veins and spider veins. As the company continues to thrive, it has been seeking ways to improve the communication of its services to its patients. As a result, CVR reached out to Incite Creative to help expand its offering of patient information materials.
It is estimated that 10 to 20 percent of all adults in the US are affected by venous insufficiency, with conditions ranging from embarrassing looking veins to severely curtailed mobility due to pain, fatigue, ulcers, and more. CVR hired Incite Creative to design new patient brochures and handbooks -- building on CVR's successful web and print advertising campaign -- to better educate patients and their families on treatment options as well as help to continue the building of Center for Vein Restoration's brand.
As a leading marketing and graphic design firm to the medical industry, Incite Creative is an excellent fit for CVR on its latest project. Incite's president, Dina Wasmer has over 20 years experience creating marketing and branding programs for the healthcare industry. Prior to founding Incite in 1999, Dina led the publications department at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health (now the Bloomberg School of Public Health). Since that time, Incite has specialized in providing marketing, branding, and creative services to a wide range of healthcare/medical institutions, companies, and nonprofits.
"Being selected to work with the Center for Vein Restoration is a testament to our depth of healthcare/medical experience, and we're excited about this new collaboration. CVR will bring comfort and confidence to people who've been searching for a solution to their varicose and spider vein issues, and my team and I welcome the opportunity to help CVR reach those in need of their services," said Dina Wasmer.

Rightwingers have so little understanding of basic principles of objectivity. A teacher's task is to teach kids relevant truth. It is not the teacher's fault if truth favors one political perspective over another.
Yes, climate change is real and an urgent problem. That's not the teacher's fault. The teacher has a duty not to tip toe around the manufactured doubt funded by Exxon (less so now) and the Koch Brothers or their many institutes and think tanks i..e propaganda mills. Not the Heritage Foundation, not the Cato Institute nor Fox News and others. As this newspaper does and many of the other respectable media as well.
Intelligent design does not hold up no matter how many logic tortured claims are made for it. We are the product of accident by the evidence. If the evidence were different, the answer would be. And all the requirements to include it in curricula doesn't change that. You can't legislate reality.
Tax cuts for the rich do not stimulate the economy but lead only to income disparity. No matter what the politicos preach. The evidence is what it is. The teacher has a duty to present that. Not because it favors one side or the other, but because it happens to be the truth.
Balance doesn't require disrespecting the truth, just telling both sides but giving clear preference to better.
No logic,no relevance to the topic"Americans will be diminished by loss of Twinkies"
Is that what they teach you at school in Texas?

Happening now secretary of state Hillary Clinton saying that al-Qaeda is new leader.
Ayman Al zawahiri is hiding in Pakistan take a listen.
We want to.
Al-Qaeda and we've made a lot of progress in doing that.
There are several.
Significant leaders still on the run zawahiri who inherited the leadership from.
Bin Laden is somewhere we believe in Pakistan.
So we are intent upon going after those who are trying to keep al-Qaeda.
-- operation -- -- inspirational.
A lot of messages there about al-Qaeda has in the meantime -- new report out today from the Washington Post -- the US is secretly releasing captured Taliban fighters.
From a detention center in Afghanistan -- move reportedly an attempt she strained -- Our hands and peace talks let's start -- -- -- -- -- Fox's national security analyst at -- TV.
They claim this according to this report a strategic release programs have released the bad guys and that's gonna help us -- early October that are killing our people.
So then go and kill again.
I think that there what's happened -- Secretary Clinton has made a statement which is an obvious one right.
That Pakistan is where al-Qaeda is Pakistan has forgotten why -- Pakistan -- where -- our areas but no mention the Taliban in Pakistan who mentioned the -- and she kept using the word democratic so I think there's a second.
Level of message here in the messages to the Pakistani government into the Taliban.
We know we've got to negotiate with the Taliban we know we're leaving.
We've seen intelligence reports that the -- that the Taliban is gaining not losing and so what kind of a -- -- we do we need to cut we need to cut a deal with the Taliban.
And the most important thing we need to do is separate them from al-Qaeda and I think that's the message she's giving is that acceptable should that be acceptable to -- the American people.
Well I think this administration has decided they're going they're leaving their out they're gonna leave right after the administration is reelected present a -- -- -- gonna make an announcement in May.
At the NATO meeting in Chicago.
We want out the administration wants out they've they've decided their own terms.
That it's not going to be a victorious sleeping of Afghanistan.
We've just seen a really -- statement by the two.
Has of the intelligence committee the senate the house senator Feinstein.
And congressman Rogers very well respected people on both sides of the out they say Taliban's gaining so I think what this says is an admission internally.
That were utter crap we're got to negotiate a solution with the Taliban the one thing that's unacceptable.
In this negotiate a solution is -- al-Qaeda comes back.
What does that mean.
Our national security I think that means that.
Ten years later we're still talking about al-Qaeda we should've been December of 2001.
When we had a -- -- Iran when -- analysts and a hundred al-Qaeda.
We -- pursue them from Afghanistan into Pakistan and killed them.
What we didn't do.
Is what we did do was returned that mission over to the pakistanis and for ten years.
They've been -- that finding bin Laden business of finding al-Qaeda business we paid handsomely for that so what they've done they've kept al-Qaeda -- Because they know that the minute Al qaeda's gone the minute bin Laden's gone they're -- -- billion dollars a year I'm gonna have to have -- -- pretty quick ET but anything can happen in the next couple might have with Iran are also with our own elect.
-- -- it's it's it's a very interesting and somewhat volatile time so is there any.
Turning away from this pack that you think the administration has -- authority is this say.
And the the only way or can we actually change course if we get new leadership or the dynamics have the world change.
What -- -- to -- what's happened and I says has left Iraq are rockets not a free and independent and pro American Iraq is in Iraq it's in Iran's.
And give it gas solar system where they're leaving Afghanistan we're leaving Afghanistan not as strong secure Afghanistan it's gonna keep.
Terrorists out but an Afghanistan that -- -- is going to be in the middle of the civil war at the same time we're pivoting to Asia what does that mean for our relations.
In Iran are stability to influence events in the -- of -- It's a really significant picture that this administration is painting was just -- even Middle -- -- just in case you can't talk about that as always good -- what -- talk about write part to cover all this -- a short time frame that you do well thank you very much LA's John.

The Irish Brigade at Antietam - passing on the stories of the Irish in America

Given the large number of Irishmen who saw action in the American Civil War, that day must also rank up there as one of the bloodiest days for the Irish. General Francis Meagher's Irish Brigade, which included a portion, by no means all of the Irish who fought in the war, was in the thick of some of the deadliest fighting.
By chance I was in Albany, NY on Sunday and went to a lecture on the Irish Brigade in the American Civil War given by Siena College History Professor Tom Kelly (retired). Professor Kelly's talk ranged over the entire war, but as he pointed out that the Irish Brigade really made its name at two battles: Antietam and Fredericksburg.

At Antietam the Irish Brigade was tasked with attacking Confederate troops, who were massed in a natural trench, a 'sunken road' created by man and nature over hundreds of years. Both the Irish Brigade attackers and the Confederate defenders suffered terribly.
When the battle was over the number of Confederate dead in the sunken road led to it being renamed as "Bloody Lane." The Irish Brigade's dead and wounded were also numerous and spread over a small bit of the large field immediately in front of the Bloody Lane. Half of the thousand men who went into battle that morning were dear or wounded by the day's end.
Professor Kelly had all of our attention as he relayed these details. I was standing in the back from where I could see that the audience was intensely interested in what he had to say.
I was late to arrive and like many couldn't get a seat for the talk. The event was in the Irish American Heritage Museum in downtown Albany and it attracted a lot more people than they were anticipating.
The 'Sunken Road' or 'Bloody Lane' as it appears today. |
I would bet they were more interested in Elvis or Marlon Brando or Marilyn Monroe or Mickey Mantle than in the history of the Irish in the Civil War. In fact, given the proliferation in Irish Studies programs at American colleges I suspect that interest in 'our Irish heritage' has probably never been greater among the young.
What's important is that the stories of the old, the artifacts and details of history are not lost so that when today's young Irish Americans are older they can refer back and learn about the Irish experience in America. That's what makes organizations like the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany and similar bodies across the country important. They're preserving those stories and artifacts.
There is no need for pessimism. Interest in our Irish heritage is going to grow, not wane, thanks to the Irish Studies programs, but mostly thanks to all the new technology that makes preserving the stories, history and even the artifacts so much easier than it was in the past. The Irish experience at Antietam and millions of other stories will not be lost. They will all be on YouTube.

The Yank,
I agree. I'm lucky that my family has so much family history, passed-down stories, and genealogy beginning with my immigrant Irish ancestors to the U.S. Some came very early and some came much later. What's been missing is what went on in Ireland before emigration. As an adult, I want to know. My ancestors put their past behind them and focused on their new lives in the U.S. They didn't talk about or pass on a hatred of the English to their children. They kept bitter feelings to themselves and were uncomfortable discussing life in Ireland, except for favorite foods, customs, etc. We've had to do our own "digging" to get info. about when and where they came from and why. Growing up, I heard so much talk about our family roots, it was yeah, yeah, yeah...whatever. As a kid, I was thinking about MY life, not some long gone ancestors, just like my young kids tune me out now. The summer after college graduation is when I took a serious interest in my heritage and made my first trip to Ireland. I've made several more trips since then. Btw: I have several Irish ancestors who fought for the Union in the CW (pictured in uniform), and even as a teen, I was proud that I could share that with my friends and classmates.

That's exactly it. Teenagers don't care that much about the past, etc. I would have been exactly the same in that history class - what will get me the "A" would have been the focus, not what interested me.
Education is wasted on the young. More seriously, how many of wish we had talk more, listened better to our grandparents when we had the chance. If I could offer any advice to a teenager, twenty-something it would be this: "You know when that older relative/neighbor is boring the pants off you talking about the past? Well that's the time to whip out that toy you call a smart phone and start recording what they say. 30 years later you'll be happy."

@The Yank: Good read. When I was a Sr. in h.s., I wrote a lengthy research paper on Antietam for a history class. Southerners refer to it as "Sharpsburg" for the nearby town. Although I learned a lot, as a 17 yr. old I was more interested in writing a paper deserving of an "A". It's only after we've grown older that we value our history, genealogy, and cultural heritage and have a genuine appreciation of them. We're lucky to live in an age where we have better methods of preserving and sharing all of it for present and future generations.
