The Cooley Distillery was established by John Teeling who, after studying in America, concluded that there was a solid market for a new Irish Whiskey brand. Teeling acquired the Ceimici Teo Distillery in 1987. He renamed the Dundalk-based distillery Cooley. Cooley was the first whiskey distillery to be founded in Ireland for over a century and it was not long before the owners began to acquire famous brands and distilleries which had been mothballed. Tyrconnell and Kilbeggan were amongst the number. The Kilbeggan was reopened in 2007 and is run in conjunction with Cooley and proffers the company's storage facilities. In 1989, a pair of pot stills was installed, furnishing the distillery with the means to distil both malt and grain. During the 1990s, the Cooley distillery launched Connemara, Ireland's only peated whisky. Cooley is currently Ireland's only Irish-owned whiskey distillery.

John Teeling purchases Ceimici Teo Distillery in Dundalk. Previously it has produced spirits in column stills (e. g. vodka) and is now renamed Cooley Distillery.
Willie McCarter acquires part of A. A. Watt Distillery and the brand Tyrconnell and merges with Teeling. Teeling simultaneously buys decommissioned Locke's Kilbeggan Distillery which will be used for storage of whiskey from Cooley.
A pair of pot stills is installed for production of both malt and grain whiskey.
Locke's Single Malt, without age statement, is launched as the first single malt from the distillery. Cooley encounters financial troubles and Pernod Ricard, via Irish Distillers, offers to purchase the company for £24.5 million.
The Competition Authority establishes that Irish Distillers cannot acquire Cooley as they then would be dominating the Irish whiskey market.
Finances improve and production resumes.
Connemara is launched.
Locke's 8 year old single malt is launched.
The Connemara 12 year old is launched.
Five Connemara Single Casks from 1992 are released.
Kilbeggan distillery is reopened.

Unarmed Father of 4 Pleaded for His Life as Police Beat Him to Death
David Sal Silva, a 33-year-old father of four small children between the ages of 2 and 10, was beaten to death by as many as nine police officers in Bakersville, California, early Wednesday morning. Police say Silva was intoxicated and fighting officers. But this was contradicted by several eyewitnesses.
Grainy security camera footage obtained by 23ABC from a person who was "afraid of a cover-up by deputies and wanted 'the truth to come out'", appears to corroborate witness accounts, showing several men striking a man laying on the ground with objects over a dozen times.
The release of a 911 call from a woman who witnessed the beating (listen here) doesn't bode well for the officers either. The woman can be heard telling the dispatcher:
"There's a man laying on the floor and your police officers beat the shit out of him and killed him. I have it all on video camera.I am sitting here on the corner of Flower and Palm right now and you have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight Sheriffs. The guy was laying on the floor and eight Sheriff's ran up and started beating him up with sticks. The man is dead laying right here, right now."
Despite the hazy security footage and 911 call, police are sticking to their story. So, someone is lying. But who? Fortunately, at least two witnesses captured the beating on their cell phones. However, the devices were immediately seized by police, which is illegal in California.
Cops vs. Witnesses
Kern County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ray Pruitt says that a deputy with a canine was responding to a call from Kern Medical Facility late Tuesday night about an intoxicated man outside when he spotted and approached Silva at a nearby intersection. Pruitt claims that Silva put up a fight when the deputy attempted to take him into custody, at which point more deputies and two California Highway Patrol officers showed up to help. Silva then had trouble breathing. He was taken to Kern Medical Center and died less than an hour later.
But Witnesses tell a very different story.
Just minutes before Silva's encounter with police, a woman, who asked not to be identified, told ABC23 that she saw Silva lying on the sidewalk seemingly unconscious. "I seen the guy laying there. I thought something was wrong with him. Then when I saw him moving… I saw his chest moving up and down…I knew that he was just drunk and eventually he'll wake up," the woman said.
It's hard to imagine that Silva was able to muster the strength to fight off several police officers just minutes after he was purportedly incapacitated.
Ruben Ceballos, 19, told The Bakersfield Californian he was at his home and in bed when he awoke around midnight to screams and loud bangs, which he soon recognized as the sound of police batons smashing into Silva's skull. "When I got outside I saw two officers beating a man with batons and they were hitting his head so every time they would swing, I could hear the blows to his head," Ceballos said. The beating continued for several minutes despite the desperate cries for help. Then Silva went silent and became unresponsive, Ceballos said.
"His body was just lying on the street and before the ambulance arrived one of the officers performed CPR on him and another one used a flashlight on his eyes but I'm sure he was already dead."
The Sheriff's office told the Californian that they will not comment on the case until their investigation into the matter is complete.

Color-matched DCC fairing and components ready for install. Dan also picked up a set Swap After spending several years and several thousand miles running in the open wind on his '06 Road King Classic (RKC), a friend of ours (Dan) was feeling envious of his riding partners who had the benefits of a blasting stereo and high-speed wind protection from their factory fairing-based baggers. Fed up with being the tune-less flying squirrel amongst his peers, Dan decided to resolve the matter with a fairing/stereo combo for his RKC. Dan found what he was looking for with a setup from Dragonfly Cycle Concepts (DCC). Kevin Martin, owner of DCC, has been in the fairing game since '02 when he mocked up his first prototype for a road trip to Sturgis. Since that time, Kevin and the DCC team has continually improved its detachable fairings with better materials, construction processes, and audio equipment. With fitments for all Road King, Heritage Softail, Softail Deluxe, and Fat Boy models and years, Dragonfly can quickly give you the best of both worlds, touring and street, with its quick-detachable fairings-once installed the fairings can quickly and easily be removed/installed in less that two minutes. The DCC fairings are comprised of injection-molded composite inner and outer shells, and come with two 6x9 internally-mounted speakers, stainless steel mounting brackets, a 12-volt plug, a windshield, windshield trim, a stereo, and a fairing lock. DCC offers plenty of options with its fairings such as a black gel-coat finish, factory-matched paint, stereo upgrades, various windshield heights/colors, and an assortment of other options. 02. Kevin and his crew hit all the major rallies and do on-the-spot installations, so you could be in and out in a couple of hours with tunes and a whole new look to your bike. However, installation is pretty simple and straightforward so Dan ordered up exactly what he wanted and had it shipped to his house. Dan ordered a DCC fairing with waterproof LCD stereo package (came completely assembled), audio controls for stock H-D switch housings, chrome windshield trim, and 4-inch black windscreen (approximately $2,400 for everything). The 180-watt LCD stereo features an AM/FM tuner, a USB connection with extension cable (for MP3s on a flash drive), and is compatible with SIRIUS satellite and iPods. When everything arrived at his house, Dan had some friends over to sip a few beers and help with the install on a Saturday afternoon. We were there to get in the way and take photos of the install. Portable Music You may be wondering why Dan chose to go with a USB flash drive rather than an iPod. While he does have an 80GB iPod, Dan went with a flash drive for a couple reasons. First was the fact that the flash drive doesn't have a spinning hard drive (like iPod Classic and Touch models) which can be susceptible to pauses/interrupted playback from harsh bumps or jolts. The flash drive is relatively cheap/inexpensive to replace if broken or not removed and gets stolen. Actually the price might have been the most significant factor. Dan picked up a 16GB flash drive for a little more than $40. And depending on how he stores/saves his music, he can fit well over 3,000 songs on the unit. When compared to a 4-gig iPod Shuffle ($79) or a 16-gig iPod Nano ($179) (Apple's flash drive based units), he could get a couple flash drives for the same price. The other thing Dan liked about the flash drive was that it was so lightweight, he could hide it up inside the fairing with just some Velcro. 03. Here's Dan's metallic silver RKC before the install, looking back at images 1 and 2 you can see that DCC did an excellent job of color matching the fairing to Dan's bike. 03. Here's Dan's metallic silver RKC before the install, looking back at images 1 and 2 y 04. Looking up inside the DCC fairing you can see everything is tucked away nice and neat. You can see the two quick-disconnect cords, the main harness cord coming off the stereo (blue arrow), and the USB cord (red arrow). On the left-hand side Dan mounted the control module for the hand control audio switches to the mounting bracket (yellow arrow). 04. Looking up inside the DCC fairing you can see everything is tucked away nice and neat 05. Quick work was made of disconnecting the hand control wiring harnesses (behind the headlight), removing the grips, switch housings, and hand controls from the handlebars so that the bars could be removed from the bike and replaced with the new Cycle Smiths bars. 05.

Suspect James Jones. A photo of suspect Enasio Solarzano is still pending. (Credit: CSPD)
Colorado Springs police arrested two men after they jumped out of a stolen car Tuesday night.
It happened just after 11 p.m. near the intersection of Airport Road and Murray Boulevard when the suspects jumped out of the stolen vehicle while it was still moving. An officer responding to another call saw the suspects run off as the car continued rolling into a curb.
He chased the men and with the help of police dogs found them hiding in a basement nearby. James Jones and Enasio Solarzano are now facing charges related to the stolen car as well as outstanding warrants.
The car was reported stolen last week.

The Evolution of Video Game System Prices, Chapter 1
If you've got kids that are old enough to go to school, chances are that you've been given a crash course in the costs of video games and all the accessories that go with them. Video games bring fun and excitement to those young and old, offering the chance to live vicariously through professional athletes, powerful warriors, martial arts masters, and magical wizards.
Thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web, a lot of media materials that used to involved a trip to a store are now available instant to you in virtual form, and all it takes is a quick entry in a search engine, and the best of the electronic world's resources are at your fingertips. Video games are one those activities that have been synthesized by computers and made available on the Internet. Flash and Java technology have made simple, free games for kids online better-looking more sophisticated than the simple computer games of the past, but if you're looking for something more involved, you'll have to pay a pretty penny for the privilege.
From the start, it's taken quite a few gold pieces to afford the luxury of interactive fantasy. The very first home video game console was the Magnavox Odyssey, which used stick-on overlays for its pong-like gaming surfaces, and the figures looked like bouncing square lights. Its $75 price tag in 1972 works out to $391 today. Atari's home version of Pong, released in time for Christmas, 1975, retailed for $99, approximately $401 in today's economy.
The first console to use the modern system of a processing unit with a removable media slot for different games was the Fairchild Video Entertainment System, also known the Channel F, which hit the market in 1976. The first system to offer players the ability to pause the action, the Fairchild Channel F console cost families $170, which is equivalent to $651 today. Its games came on yellow cartridges similar to an 8-track cassette, and retailed for $20 apiece, which adjusts to nearly $77 with inflation. Competitors soon emerged, with Magnavox fighting back with a new version of Odyssey and Coleco introducing its first system, a pong-clone called the Telstar whose $50 price tag translates to $190 today. With the market flooded in 1977, most game systems went broke and folded, with only Atari remaining strong.
The market crashed in large part because many of the potential buyers of gaming systems were still enjoying their pricey Pong units, and making another large financial commitment to a similar unit. It doesn't help when you've seen so many of the kids' toys end up tossed in a corner with all the other fleeting fancies of days past.
If you can't bring yourself to plunk down a few hundred dollars on a game system that you can't see your kids committing to, or if you'd rather not see them drain their lives away on games that last for hours, days, weeks even, there are countless free kids games online, available to play at no cost. Flash games for kids don't require any cartridges, extra controllers or any other peripherals beyond a mouse and keyboard.
Whatever ends up being the right choice for your family, know that video game systems take a lot of initial investment for the hours of fun they provide.

Pretend Play
We have a various number of pretend play toys to really get your child involved by using their imagination.
Some of our Favorite Imaginative Toys include:
- Action Figures
- Holiday and Religious Toys
- Play Kitchens
- Play Sets
- Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Action Figures
Action figures are great toys to help children develop their creative abilities and learn the art of pretending. We have a wonderful selection of action figures that include everything from prehistoric animals and Noah's ark and bugs in a box to Cinderella and from pasture pals to pirates. Our Cowboys and Indians or Medieval Times sets will even give children some insight into specific historical time periods. Each action figure is safe with no harmful parts.
Holiday and Religious Toys
Religious toys and holiday toys are very similar because religion is such a large part of many holidays. Children like to emulate adults and religious toys provide the child with a chance for emulation. Imaginative toys are fun because they allow the child to use the imagination in a realistic setting with family and friends.
Play Kitchens
Play kitchens are a fantastic way to allow your child to use their imagination. Play kitchens can run the gamut from basic to fully loaded. Some of the different models of child play kitchens include toy microwaves, refrigerators, dishwasher and ovens. These single unit models of play kitchens are sturdy and very ergonomic.
Play kitchens are a great way for your child to use their imagination and act like a grown-up. With play kitchens, however, your child may need some extra accessories to help them use their imagination to the fullest. We offer a nice selection of play food to help the child use their imagination. Assortments of play food feature everything from canned foods to meats to different desserts. Play food is essential when it comes to using play kitchens, but you may need some other accessories as well. Some kitchen accessories include pots and pans, a play cutting board and knife. Your child can prepare all kinds of play food the right way and learn about using a knife the safe and proper way before they take it to the real kitchen. Play kitchens make great gifts, but having the perfect accessories is just as important!
Our best selling play kitchen is the KidKraft Play Kitchen. This beautiful set comes complete with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, sink and microwave. This kid-sized favorite is sure to impress the young chefs in your life.
Play Sets
Play sets are a great way for the child to use his imagination. Play sets can let children imitate the careers and everyday activities of a grown-up. Play sets can enhance the imagination of your child, making their understanding of the "real world" a little more real to them.
One of our more popular play sets are the magic sets. Your budding Houdini will love learning magic tricks with the Melissa & Doug Discovery Magic Set. This high quality set will provide your little magician with all the basics to perform amazing illusions and crafty slight-of-hand tricks.
And, for the child who loves farms and animals, we offer the Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn. This top quality barn features large sliding front doors, large stalls, stable doors, hayloft and a convenient carry handle for playtime on the go. Also included are seven detailed farm animals, including a pig and horse, for an endless barnyard adventure.
Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Everyone loves getting invited to a puppet show! There is lots of fun to be had with puppets and puppet theaters for both children and parents. Puppets provide the child with a chance to get involved with imaginative play and really let their imagination run completely wild. Not only are puppets great for your child's imagination, they are a great means of artistic expression and communication. Most children will have an easy time relating to puppets from a very early age since they often use their imagination to make inanimate objects and characters come to life.

My 12-year-old son still frequently wets the bed. How can I help him? - Mark
Bedwetting, or enuresis, affects many older kids and even teens. Although the chances are good that your son will outgrow the condition, consider talking to your doctor, who can help determine possible causes and suggest the best treatment.
Treatment methods may include behavior modification, the use of a bedwetting alarm, medication, counseling, and other methods. Most important, knowing that he has the support and understanding of his family can help your son to feel less frustrated or ashamed about wetting the bed.

What "innovations" has Nikon brought to the table recently? Technology is pretty good these days. If people switch systems every time the competition has a marginally better spec'd product on paper... you'll be spending a LOT of time and money switching back and forth rather than taking photos.
You might want to add an option:
Will buy the camera even without built-in grip, but will purchase add-on grip for portrait orientation shooting.
Since they are calling it the 3D maybe it will have eye control focus! (dreaming)

Read more - President Mary McAleese declines St. Patrick's Day NYC Grand Marshal invite
Irish president Mary McAleese has taken the politically courageous step in refusing an invitation to be Grand Marshal of the 250th St.Patrick's Day parade in New York.
By so doing she has sent a sharp message to parade organizers that discrimination in any guise is not what her presidency is all about and should not be what the parade is all about either.
The parade committee must fear that this issue is like a millstone around their neck. Each time it appears to have faded as an issue some new controversy reignites it.
We have long argued that the refusal to even enter into dialogue with the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization was a major mistake for the parade committee.
It was akin in some strange way to the refusal of Orange leaders in Northern Ireland to enter into discussions with nationalist residents in Drumcree which led to such mayhem for many years in Northern Ireland.
In the end the Orange paraders lost in the court of public opinion , devastatingly so, and the message from the president of Ireland is that the New York parade committee has lost out too.
Such issues are by no means one sided. The Irish gay organizations often presented in such militant fashion that it made it more difficult than it should have been to open negotiations.
In later years also, groups that had no Irish affiliation joined the St. Patrick's Parade protests and it became an issue far more about Gays versus the Catholic church than any Irish controversy.
But it is true to say that many attempts at mediation always foundered on the rock of the parade hardliners who saw it as their God-given duty to slam the door on any discussion rather than probe a compromise.
That same committee has now been handed a major blow with the McAleese decision, which will, no doubt go over well in Ireland where the parade recalcitrance on the gay issue has confounded people.
Back there they are used to seeing gays participate in all major parades as a celebration of Irish unity rather than divisiveness.
That is surely the way it should be, especially in the modern era where so much has been done by bringing marginalized groups into the mainstream.
An indication of how far that has come was given recently in an Irish Times poll which showed that two third of Irish people supported gay marriage.
The parade committee has been way out of step with modern Irish sensibility on this issue and this is now reflected in the McAleese decision which came as no shock to those who know her.
McAleese has made a major theme of her presidency a reach-out to the discriminated against in Irish life and she has surely shown a Christian compassion and concern towards them that is truly remarkable.
She was highly unlikely to end that policy and pick sides against gay Irish people in America as her acclaimed presidency reaches its final year.
She has made the right decision in our opinion though doubtless she will ship some criticism in the usual quarters.
Such people should look in the mirror first to see where the real blame lies.
Frankly, this is an issue that should have been resolved years ago.

murders, rapist and pedophiles oh my! sounds like the catholic church. how ironic.
AOH is the offical sponser of the parade, they'll hold with the Church on the view point. Good luck changing their minds.
Mary McAleese declined to participate in NY's St. Patrick's Day parade--who cares? That doesn't mean we can't still celebrate our heritage. Who cares if there are gays marching in the American St. Patrick's Day parade? Who cares if there are middle Eastern or other immigrants marching in the Irish St. Patrick's Day parade? (Isn't that kind of the point of the American parade? We came here from another place, and we identify ourselves as Irish.) As long as they are there to celebrate Ireland and her heritage, really, who cares? Both Ireland and America are diverse, and it is a wonderful thing that so many different people want to come together to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I am saddened--no, disgusted--by the name-calling and false arguments I've seen here. Unless these people are murderers, or rapists, or pedophiles, or some other horrible thing, they should feel proud and be allowed to be both Irish and...whatever. Gay. Black. Female. Neurotic. Weird. Funny. Intelligent. Pick an adjective. I would also like to note that not all Americans are racist, backward conservatives.
I agree.
Dublinman: Why are you throwing the epithet "racist" around, when it is you who are the racist? You're not fooling anyone. Racists like you are creeps, Dublinman. Slink away to where the roaches hide.
Ulster1, you're absolutely right. In fact it wasn't until 1993 that homosexuality was officially legalised in Ireland! It's embarrassing and you're right that the Catholic church has had an awful effect on Irish society for all of the 20th century. We probably would disagree on just about everything on our island but at least we can laugh at these racist and backward conservative Americans! We've come a long way Ulster1!!
To Dublinman77: You state: "The only time homosexuality was banned in Ireland was when the English imposed a law against it several hundred years ago." Why didn't the Irish government repeal it before 1988? Maybe it's to do with the Church of Rome's Eternal Damnation doctrine? Isn't time you stopped blaming the English for the actions of the Irish? Stop blaming Mother England for everything--it's time Ireland grew-up.
Irish people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender can march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin. They can openly serve in the Irish military. People in Ireland have civil rights--in New York, Irish Americans, it seems from many of the comments here, are stuck in an 1849 mindset. What happened to the "Land of the Free", "Liberty for All"? Is it all just American propaganda? Remember, Pres. Bush explained to Americans after 9/11 that, "they hate us for our freedom"! What would that be exactly?
what's wrong with you, there are many Homosexuals marching or standing on the Cathedral steps, most of them are Priests. When we will we stop being blinded by religion preying on children?
I am curious...can someone help me...wardy 09 is calling a woman a bitch...and saying she is not Irish at heart...and works for the International Bankers... I would like to know who the International Bankers are...and if Mary McAlesse is not Irish...what is she... Can someone answer?
How's the racism coming along, Dublinman77? You and Woundedknee started that far-right party yet?
No, that's wrong--Dublinman77, Manhattan, GeorgeDillon and Woundedknee are the same poster.
Manhattan, GeorgeDillon and Woundedknee are the same poster.
manhattan: You got that right. Note how DublinMan calls other people racists and then says "Who, me?" when someone points out that the racist is him. But he's welcome to the boozed-up plastic Paddies of the Dublin Parade, stumbling around with a beer in one hand and a leprechaun suit that can barely swathe their fat asses. Kwa Heri, Dublinman, as the "New Irish" say. Brostaigh ort amach, as real Irish might say. Of course that doesn't include you, Plastic Man from Dublin.
Oh, I just want to say goodbye to Dublin Man, don't let the door hit you in the a-- as you leave America. If you aren't here and never have been we won't miss your company.
Oh Hollabackgoil/The city is truly diverse now, the marchers may not be the Irish that were the dominant ethnic group of the past but they attend the Catholic schools,(and they are more successfull because of the it) Oh, did I mention my Hugely successful Irish American gay cousins who march not as a gay person but someone who attained the rank of full colonel in the military or the cousin who marches proudly with his Mothers county in Ireland? They are celebrating not what there sexual being is but pridein all that irish Americans have accomplished. Please go to the Queens parade , I'm still waiting for your explanation.
NEW WORLD ORDER WHORE.....THIS WOMAN IS DANGEROUS.....SHE WILL SELL OUT THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.....SHES NOT IRISH AT HEART....SHE WORKS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS....shes only a banker bitch....up the Republic
It was always that, and whats wrong with it? I guess you missed all the schools and counties as well. Maybe next year when can have a bisexual monkey juggler from Mongolia.
It's not even a parade of the Irish now. It just looks like an endless military/police/fire/holy orders recruitment commercial.
My Lord! Another 'tempest in a teapot.' When I lived in New York back when the earth was young, St. Patrick's Day was a special event for me. I worked for an English bank in mid-town at the time and we (the Irish guys) always got an extra hour for lunch, blatant favoritism and we loved it. Gay politics had not yet become a part of this otherwise happy occasion. Afterwards, I lived in San Francisco for many years, had several gay friends and attended a number of funerals. I found it difficult to accept the in-your-face militancy of some segments of the gay community - to me, their semi-naked parades were often vulgar and disgusting. I believe that the Irish president made the right decision - and not just because this special day has become poisoned by politics - but also because it is, to me at least, demeaning for the president of Ireland to lead this parade. It demeans the office, the highest in the land. The Irish ambassador to the U.S. would be fine, or some other notable. Perhaps I'm being a bit old fashioned.
ranger how many gay banners in yopur 3000 parades? Hiow many loyalist killer s?
What the ancient order of hibernian's are homophobic and setarian, never. Well my giddy aunt, a republican organization that leading republicans and Sinn Fein/IRA eulogised are homophobic and sectarian. well I never!!!
Racist why? The ingenious logic eludes me!?! Anyway it's Arthur's Day, the most manufactured drinking day of the year so goodbye for now all you conservatives, tea party-ers and plastic paddies! (PS- liberal Irish Americans are welcome anytime to Ireland!)
Dublinman aka JungleJim and other racist IDs objects to the NYC parade because he claims it excludes people because of their sexual activities. But then he goes all prudish and wants to leave "sexual references" out of the discussion. Wake up, you dope, your whole stupid campaign is based on sexual criteria--don't be such a hypocritical dope and try and learn a little logic. How the hell can we speak of homosexuals (like you want to) without a sexual reference? And no, unlike you and your other racist monikers, I don't need to hide under another identity, Dublin Racist.
Dublinman77 please do not put the banners of the NYPD and the NYFD into the same category with a group of gays and lesbians.
I just noticed something. Woundedknee and GeorgeDillon are the same person. You can tell from their way of arguing and sentence structure. Also the fact that they both attack me in an odd way of things I've attacked GeorgeDillon over. Strange.
A lot of people here are saying it's okay for gays to march, just not proclaim their presence as a distinct group. this means using no banners and no signs identifying themselves collectively. I wonder would the people who think this also say here and now they would like the same rule applied to the New York police officers or Firemen who march as a collective? I've no problem with them marching too. In fact after 9/11 I'd love to get over to see those firemen march and shake their hands. but why one rule banning one group but not all groups? Secondly, Woundedknee and GeorgeDillon, it was funny at first but can we leave the sex references out of this now please? Sure we can conduct a debate without them.
Let me ask the question again, Why do you need the banner?
Dubliner accuses me of "racism, ignorance, stupidity and repressed sexuality". You sure know a lot about all those things, Dub. Racist creeps like you should not be posting in an Irish-American site. Why don't you post on the British National Front site, that's the place for self-hating racists like you.
Dublinman--You are obsessed with what people do with their genitals. Get a life. Normal people do things with their genitals--they don't talk about it all day like you do. If you want to walk down Fifth Avenue in drag go right ahead--no one will interfere with you. But keep your ugly face out of an IRISH_AMERICAN (not Irish, you dope) parade. As I mentioned earlier, I've been to the Dublin parade, and was not at all impressed. I like a drink and sex as much as anyone else, but I don't find seeing drunk teenagers performing fellatio in the street at midday very entertaining--I guess you do. As to your reference to imperialism etc., I think you're just a crazy--they make no sense.
Watereskhill--It's obvious from what you write that you've never seen the NYC Parade. Don't show your ignorance--you have nothing to offer this discussion.
AmieZi--Thank You for some Common Sense.
shes only a NWO worker bitch anyway....She attends the bilderberg club meetings...DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMAN
It boggles my mind why there is need for such negativity - people complain about gay bashing and then bash the AOH. Clearly the U.S. Military and over 2 million supporters think the NYC St. Patrick's Day parade means something and having the President of Ireland in NY to celebrate the national Irish holiday is about more than a "vaudeville" act. If she is not wanted in Dublin for the parade there then why begrudge those who would appreciate her presence. Heaven forbid the millions upon millions of Irish in the U.S., many of whom are trying in whatever way they can to give back to Ireland, be afforded the opportunity to celebrate with the President. Is there anyone in NY that does not know that New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is a homosexual person? How many are aware that she has been invited to march in the NYC St. Patrick's Day parade? And we need her carrying a banner stating her sexual orientation on St. Patrick's Day as opposed to displaying her pride in all that she has accomplished for Irish Americans - why? I have seen City Council Speaker Quinn at the Mayor's breakfast on St. Patrick's morning, among many hundreds of Irish/Irish Americans/and fans of breakfast and she had no banner proclaiming her homosexuality, or wore no t-shirt stamped "gay", nor did any of my homosexual friends. There were no protests at breakfast, no issue whatsoever, despite numerous sashes identifying group affiliations. So it would appear that breakfast is too early to be shouting from the rooftops, but by mid-morning the banners are awake?
I'm just sitting here watching our stupid Puritan background show it's ugly face again. You better keep your eyebrows trimmed, or you'll get hung for a witch.
Doesn't take much to bring out the homophobes and haters, does it? Y'know, "No faggots allowed" has the same ring to it as "No Irish allowed."
There are no floats in the "Paddy" parade as you put it. There are no political banners either, save for the traditional, "England get out of Ireland banner'. I don't even know if thats still carried. Get your facts straight water, you're embarrassing yourself.
I don't buy it that the gay banner was the deciding factor here. President McAleese is Head of State. Not some Mary O'Hara celebrity. Or some Rose of Tralee contestant. The dignity of that Office reduced to a clownish 'ambassador' waving from a bedecked float simply because it's Paddy'Day and it the 250th Parade. The people of Ireland straight or gay do not ask this of her on St.Patrick's Day to be a "Grand Marshall" A daft title in my books. The Hibernians in NYC lacked protocol in my opinion. To haul gays into the mix is rubbish. President Obama is as respectful of Ireland as she is of the U.S. Archbisop Dolan may be miffed for a few moments on being considered 'a second choice' but will keep the day vaudeville Catholic.
Finally a political leader who has the guts to do the right thing. Parade organizers should be ashamed of themselves for excluding anyone of Irish descent in a St.Patrick's Day parade. Maybe President McAleese's refusal to participate in this discrimatory parade will bring the organizing commitee to it's senses.
Good question hancock, I hope there is an answer soon.
Why do you need a gay banner to march again?
This makes me appreciate the St. Patrick's parade in my city of over 350,000. There's just people dressing up, having fun, and celebrating Irish culture and honoring St. Patrick with no separate groups pushing their own agenda. Parade marchers don't feel the need to identify themselves as gay, lesbian, straight, Catholic, Protestant, or whatever. Everyone's Irish and proud of it. The only problem we've ever had was a horse dropping dead in the middle of the route and everyone trying to decide if the horse was "really Irish." (joke)
How about an Omadhaun's float or, more to the point,a Bigots float? But would such ignoramuses show up? We know the answer to that, of course. At least our fellow gay and lesbian human beings have the backbone to demonstrate their cause.
McAleese has been a staunch defender og gay rights for a long time. But she hasn't appeared to put forward that reason for not accepting the invitation. God lads, it could have been worse, imagine all you conservatives trying to deal with our last President Robinson who [shock and horror] supported the Palestinians!
Thanks, AmieZil, for so clearly stating my thoughts on this issue. This is called common sense and reasoning - something sorely lacking these days, especially in those who have their own PC agenda. I would also like the answer to 74viking's question about whether this was Mary McAleese's stated, not assumed, reason for declining the invitation.
There we go, GeorgeDillon shows us the racism, ignorance, stupidity and repressed sexuality (that's a lot of references to genitals in a discussion where they weren't mentioned!) that binds the AOH people behind many of the the St. Paddy's Day parades in the States. A racially diverse group of Irish people who adhere to most of the ideals Ireland has become famous for over a thousand years is a good thing. What doesn't suit our culture is sexism, sectarianism and imperialism. It's why we've fought it for so long. The only time homosexuality was banned in Ireland was when the English imposed a law against it several hundred years ago. PS- the AOH are laughed at in Ireland where real nationalists and proud Irish stand with republican, radical, or liberal ideals.
Dublinman --"sitting a few miles from the Irish president's house". It's not her house, you dope. It's the Irish people's house, though it was built by the English. The Queen of Blather was not even elected by popular vote.
The NYC Parade is a good example of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I have marched on several occasions, and no one ever asked me if I was straight or a queer. That's the way it should be. It's my business what I do with my genitals, and I don't want to know what Dublinman does with his. In fact, Dublinman, why don't you just stay in Dublin and do whatever you do with your genitals over there. By the way, your own parade in Dublin is a disgusting orgy of booze, vomit, teenage groping, muggings and fights. And worse than that--it's a bore. It has no Irish culture (loads of Pakistanis, Africans and Chinese though), and the format was stolen from a big parade in London.
It seems to me that a small fact is being overlooked here - homosexuals, whether gays or lesbians, transsexuals, bisexuals, and any other sexuals you can come up with, including heterosexuals, are more than welcome to march in the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade. This fight is not about whether someone can march, but about how they choose to do it. To assess the level of what is been classed as 'discrimination' I asked the Parade Committee if I could march holding a banner saying that I am a heterosexual person, and was vey quickly told no. I am afraid, therefore, I fail to see where there is discrimination. I, like everyone else, must march with my county, or association, or band, or team without publicly identifying my lifestyle choices. As many here have said, the parade is supposed to be about honouring St. Patrick and the Irish culture and heritage. It is not about your sexual orientation. Why can we not all come together on March 17 and be Irish? Why do we feel the need to take the one day where every other culture wants to be us, and we ourselves feel the need to create a divide? It is rather sad that President McAleese has chosen to decline the invitation be the Grand Marshall in an effort to take a stand against the so-classed discrimination. Is she not by that very move discriminating against those who are heterosexual?
"The parade committee has been way out of step with modern Irish sensibility on this issue... " So now we must keep in step with the native born Irish or they won't come and play with us. Don't think so.
Seriously, these conservative Irish Americans are indistinguishable from the Orangemen who hate Catholics and gays and Africans and Roma! Small minded, bigoted, worshiping the worst aspects of insular religions; this attitude is so at odds with the spirit of Irish people that I hope they drop the 'irish' prefix someday soon!!
It had already been said - by Mary Kenney, in 2000, in a book : "Goodbye to Catholic Ireland"
This is not just an Irish Parade, it's honoring St. Patrick, Ireland's Patron Saint. He brought Christanity to Ireland and it follows the Catholic Church teachings. How is it that anyone can bash Catholics and the Irish and get away with it. Get over yourselves, Gays and Lesbians do not have any representation in this parade. Live with it.
Let her stay in Ireland, we'll have a better parade without her.
Well put, Dublinman77. As everyone with an ounce of tolerance in their souls knows, the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City has, for some time now, resembled theatre of the absurd, but it's theatre of the absurd that all of us should be able to live with. Ignorance, intolerance, bigotry--these are the refuge of the poorest among us. How sad.
This action by Ms. McAleese is only symptomatic of a larger issue. From St. Louis, I have been to the last three St. Paddy's Parades in NYC. Your new Archbishop Dolan who grew up in St. Louis is now "taking off the gloves" after a period of "mourning" to bring righteousness to New York. Yesterday, he announced a "redistribution of wealth" measure to reform the Catholic schools. His job in St. Louis was to investigate pedophile priests. He evaluated them by having them stay at his parish residence. They were all "found clean" and he went to confession to them. Do not be surprised at his real feelings about issues involved with gay pride and the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
As an Irishman right now sitting a few miles from the Irish president's house can I just how my country is overwhelmingly more liberal and radical than conservative and Catholic. And what's more, I think our history and culture/s lend itself more to being radical than conservative; rebelling against imperialism, capitalism and sectarianism has taught us the value of solidarity. Gays taking a visible place on a march celebrating Irish culture is so fitting that I wish some of the pretend Irish commenting here would visit this nation and understand that. Their bigotry reminds me of the Orange Order who also share similar views on gays!
Do the organizers of the Gay Pride Parade in New York allow groups to march behind banners expressing ideas counter to those of the event and its sponsors? No, they don't. And they shouldn't be required to. It's their parade. The long campaign to turn the ethno/religious celebration of the most important Christian missionary in Ireland into an occasion for advertizing one's unusual sexual preferences is a direct and shameless attack on our God-given, Constitutionally protected rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of association. The President of Ireland has cast her lot (surprise, surprise) with the pc authoritarians. Liberty is too messy for her delicate little hands.
Here goes Irish Central's presuming why the President of Ireland declined the invite. Did President McAleese decline and state why she was declining? That would be courageous or foolish (depending on your view) but she just declined without comment which makes it a non-story.
If it's none of her business, then why was she asked? It's embarrassing to me to see a celebration of ethnic pride used to discriminate against gays, or occasionally for war (as it was after the first Gulf war here in L.A.
Great news and a great article, although I take issue with the part stating that groups with no Irish affiliation took up this cause once ILGO disbanded ten years ago. Many Irish & Irish Americans have actively worked on this issue for the last decade when others had given up. The Irish Voice often decides the protesters are not "Irish" when they see people with non-Irish last names or people of color...when in fact these very people have rich Irish ancestry and connections to culture! Comments like that are a failure to value and recognize the Irish Diaspora and how it exists in communities within NYC.
Even though the Catholic church condems homosexuality, the parade is about honoring St.Patrick himself, first and foremost. Why do gays and lesbians feel the need to make a political statement every time there is a parade? And since the Irish people are so tolerant of gay marrage, let all the homosexual's move to Ireland, get married, and live happily ever after.
I agree with fmurray515. ! Also, so what if you are gay, lesbian or straight. The parade is not about "you". It is to honour St. Patrick. !
Mary "I'm just a figure head" McAleese did not do the right thing. This is an American parade and she should mind her own business.
Good riddance to her. We have more Irish over here than she does over there anyway.
The Parade Committee doesn't discriminate. There are probably hundreds of gay and lesbians who march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and don't want to march under an ILGO banner anyway.
Why should there be gay and lesbians in a parade honoring a Catholic saint? Makes no sense to me.
Why does ILGO have to have their own marching section. Why can't that just march like the rest of the Irish people and march under the banner of the county they are from? You don't see a Irish Straight people group marching down 5th Avenue!
Tell Mary....to stay there ....we dont want her telling us what is PC....

text: Ive been waiting a while until things settled a little bit with the new CA site opening to ask this question. I did see someone asked this a while ago as well, but there seemed to be no answer. Anyways, what happened to all those awesome tutorial downloads on the store? Are they gone for good? I'm talking about things like the perspective videos from Carl Dobsky, color theory from Jason, etc etc. I truly hope that they are still in existance for possible purchase like before.

Continue X-Men Evolution Cartoon
We wish the X-Men: Evolution cartoons to be continued past season 4. We believe that the series is popular enough to warrant at least another season. We feel that if Film Roman (who produce the episodes for WB) and Marvel can see how popular the show is, how many fans it has, they might consider that it is financially viable to continue running it. Update: 17th November - 104 signatures, I hope the numbers continue to grow at such a good rate!

Candy packages get bitter response
Mars Inc., McLean, VA, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan in early December seeking an order that bars E.J. Brach Corp., Chicago, IL, from selling Brach's redesigned package of Fruit Bunch® candy that bears a close resemblance to Mars' Starburst® fruit chews candy.
Citing tens of millions of advertising dollars that are at stake, Mars objected to Fruit Bunch's primarily yellow package color that includes pictures of fruit, as well as a red banner with the words "real fruit juice," all of which are similar to the Starburst package. Trade dress apparently isn't the only thing the candy makers have in common: When asked to comment on the pending litigation, both firms declined.

Love triangles of TV and film
By Emily Christianson, Lora Victorio, Jevon Phillips and Whitney Friedlander, Los Angeles Times
Image 14 of 14
'Beverly Hills 90210'( Fox )
Angles of the love triangle: In a show that averaged multiple love triangles a season, one that really stands out is Dylan (Luke Perry), Kelly (Jennie Garth) and Brandon (Jason Priestly). At the time, Dylan and Kelly were dating, but she ended up kissing Brandon during a school trip.
Final equation: Breakups and makeups ensue and at one point Brandon and Kelly even get engaged. In the end though, Dylan and Kelly get back together. |

Living up to their slogan "Everything Rotorcraft," Rotor F/X runs the gamut of flight-related services by selling and repairing rotorcraft, in addition to offering flight training, transportation, and quick aerial tours of the Los Angeles area. As a prop company, Rotor F/X has a reputation of building believable cockpit mockups, aviation sets, and scale models of planes and helicopters. As a testament to their ability to enhance stunts, effects, and camera shots with their replicas, the crew of the History Channel's Modern Marvels asked them to construct a experimental helicopter that not only lifts up into the air, but travels back in time to prevent the original Star Trek from being canceled.
Adrenaline-pumping jams propel stationary bicyclers over imaginary hills and jumps during Revolution Fitness's calorie-crushing spinning classes. Throughout the classes, you'll vary your pedaling pace, feeling the burn of uphill climbs and the breeze of straightaway stabilized cycling. Try strength training and yoga for a less intense workout. During group strength-training classes, skilled instructors will lead the class in increasing body strength and speeding up molasses-like metabolisms. Yin yoga relieves physical and emotional stress through a series of deep poses that are held longer than those used in traditional yoga sessions or calendar photo shoots.
If you didn't know any better, it would be easy to assume that The School of Shred is a place to learn guitar, or at least a place to practice the art of destroying important documents. Instead, the school teaches its students how to shred through waves, shred across pavement, and shred down mountainsides. It's a fitting business name for owner Corey Oswald, who has seemingly spent more of his life moving on some kind of board than on his own two feet. Corey has more than 20 years of experience surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. But today, and for nearly a decade now, he helps others get their shred on by offering group and private lessons in all three sports.
Founded in 2004 by a group of childhood friends who grew up to play collegiate and professional soccer, DirectKix Soccer Productions aims to share their love of the game with a new generation. Youth soccer clinics cover not just technical lessons and game strategy but how to see soccer as a celebration of life. Grown-ups can also get in on the fun by signing up for the program's adult league, which sets teams against each other over a 10-week season, about the time it takes to forget all the rules of American football.
Beach Zone's volleyball coaches come with experience—they've played competitively on three different continents. Coaches pass on their expertise to beginner players, advanced athletes, and everyone in between at local beaches. They'll coach one-on-one or in larger groups, depending on client preference.
Custom Scuba's two boats aren't typical leisure vessels—they're inflatable boats, originally designed for Navy SEALS. And like Navy SEALS, the company's captains use the boats to reach hidden channels and hard-to-access waterways. However, unlike Navy SEALS, their top priority is fun. With more than 10 years of experience each, the two captains helm snorkeling adventures, fishing trips, and sunset cruises that showcase the area's natural beauty at sites often not visited by other companies. True to its company name, the team also offers scuba classes, teaching basic underwater skills and doling out dive certifications with a teaching motto of never rushing a student and always putting safety first and cannonball competitions last.

Also, I nearly put my favorite film, (F.W. Murnau's Faust) at the top of the list, but I wasn't sure I should count it as horror.

1. The Haunting (1963)
2. The Horror of Dracula (1958)
3. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
4. Mulholland Drive (2001)
5. El Topo (1970)
Horror is one of my favorite genres in film so this is going to be even harder than the scifi list.
2)Tales of Terror
4)Dracula (Universal 1979)
5) The Seventh Victim
Some honorable mentions would be Werewolf of London, London After Midnight, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,and The Vampire Bat. Also of note are the Lady in Black and 1408, they're definitely two of my favorite horror movies but they're a little too recent to be included in a classic horror list.
Was it I who got you into The Seventh Victim? I recently got it on DVD finally a few months back, I've watched it quite a few times since then. So damn masterly made.
I love 1408. That's one of those films that I usually credit as a PG 13 film that does more for horror than rated R. I always hated the argument that you couldn't do a true horror film without it being rated R.
I regrettably have yet to see Dracula.

I think I'll cheat and do an older classic and a newer classic list (well new for me is like the 80s.)
Old Classics
Bride of Frankenstein
The Man With X-Ray Eyes
Carnival of Souls
Abominable Dr. Phibes
Last Man on Earth
Newer Classics
Dellamorte, Dellamore
Gates of Hell
Cannibal Holocaust
Life looks better in black and white.
Ha, yup! You turned me onto it while we were doing the 31 days of Halloween marathon last year and I loved it. I'm a huge fan of shadow play in black and white films and the use of shadows they in the Seventh Victim to create the mood was truly masterful, probably some of the best I've ever seen.
1408 is great, especially with the director's cut ending. It's just down right creepy and I'm a sucker for John Cusack.
I've never understood the need for an R rating, gore and nudity and simulated violence don't do much for me, atmosphere is much more important and you can do that well enough even in modern cinema as evidenced by both 1408 and last winter's The Woman in Black.
You should try and catch Frank Langella's take on Dracula, he really brought a lot of energy to the role and I really liked the muted colors.
Oh, THAT Dracula I caught and LOVED. The scene with him climbing on the walls of the castle was beautiful and beyond creepy. The Dracula I haven't seen was the original with Bela Legosi. I'm surprised I haven't seen it, to be honest, given the popularity of the Universal horror films. I've seen Frankenstein, Mummy, Wolfman, Creature of the Black Lagoon. But no Dracula.

Speaking of Dracula, anyone here a fan of the 1931 Spanish version?
Life looks better in black and white.
Repeating myself from the sf thread --
1. Night of the Living Dead
2. The Exorcist
3. The Beyond
4. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
5. Carnival of Souls, probably; maybe Blair Witch Project ... but there are tons of extremely strong contenders, several of which have already been mentioned above -- Seventh Victim, Eraserhead, Gates of Hell, Last Man on Earth, The Haunting, The Innocents ... & that's not even getting into auteurs like Carpenter (Halloween, Prince of Darkness, In the Mouth of Madness), Cronenberg (The Brood, They Came from Within, The Fly, Videodrome), Bava (Black Sunday, Kill Baby Kill) or Argento (Suspiria, Phenomena)
I tend to split superhero comics fans into "People who like Krypto" and "People who don't like Krypto."
Basically, if you miss the wonder of a dog flying around in a little Superman cape, you're in the wrong hobby.
-- Reptisaurus!
I really don't care for horror films...so my list will probably be idiosyncratic.
1. Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein
2. The Wicker Man (original)
3. Shaun of the Dead
4. Horror of Dracula
5. Bubba Ho-Tep
Not unlike Slam, I'm really not a horror guy, but here's my list:
1. The Haunting (original)
2. Jurassic Park (I know it's not really horror but it's the *only* movie that ever gave me nightmares)
3. The Birds
4. The Wolf Man (representing the entire Universal monsters cycle)
5. The Golem (1924)
I have no use for gratuitous gore and torture porn so very few modern horror flicks appeal to me. Those that do include Pan's Labyrinth, The Others, The Sixth Sense and The Orphanage.
Suggestion, please, not spatter!

Joyce Appleby -- "Inheriting the Revolution: The First Generation of Americans
The first generation of Americans — those born after 1776 — were different from the colonists that came before them. Shaped not only by the nation's founding principles, they were also affected by increasingly global commerce, culture, and the growing diversity of the American people. Historian Joyce Appleby explores the lives of four early Americans and the profound differences between their world and that of their parents' generation.
In order to listen to Joyce Appleby's April 2, 2001 lecture at the Morgan Library in New York, NY, go to the following Gilder Lehrman Website: http://gilderlehrman.org/wp/?p=67.

i love Welles too. have you seen his European works? i'm absolutely in love with F for Fake and Chimes at Midnight.
i still have so much Ford to see (i've seen only seventeen of his films so far), but i'll echo your love for Fort Apache (one of Ford's most complex films, i'd say), How Green Was My Valley, and Wagon Master. also, The Searchers was the first Ford i ever saw due to its canonization, and i thought it was okay, but now i'm thinking that of all his films, that one would most benefit from context--not just that of Ford's filmography, but also the history of the classical Western and familiarity with Wayne's persona--and i can't wait to see it again.
great list. i haven't seen Strawberry Blonde (but it's high on my list), Only Yesterday, Rainy Dog, Fall of the House of Usher (have you seen Epstein's Couer fidèle? one of my all time favorites), i'm not yet exposed to Bela Tarr (wanna see Sátántangó really bad) and as for Hou, i've only seen four of his later films (Goodbye South Goodbye, Millennium Mambo, Three Times, and Flight of the Red Balloon). also i don't like the Coen bros too much but i really want to see Miller's Crossing.
as for Capra and Wyler, i agree to an extent. i'm going to start getting into Capra's earlier films (i've seen The Bitter Tea of General Yen and i watched Ladies of Leisure recently because i'm doing a year-long project of watching Barbara Stanwyck movies cuz she's my favorite classical Hollywood actress), but i do think that his most obviously sentimental stuff probably does deserve some criticism (Mr. Smith is kind of unbearable in its way). i do adore It's a Wonderful Life though. as for Wyler, i think he's an interesting guy. i love Dodsworth and Best Years, like The Westerner and The Letter, but most everything else has seemed pretty average to me, and Mrs. Miniver and Jezebel in particular i thought were pretty bad.

Jessica Fairley is a reporter with FOX 31 News
ALBANY, GA -- Last year, nearly 1 million Americans experienced herpes zoster, or shingles, a disease that causes a painful skin rash. In addition, shingles can lead to severe pain that can last for months or years after the rash disappears.
"If you are age 60 or older, we recommend you get the shingles vaccine," said Southwest Health District Health Director Dr. Jacqueline Grant. "Along with post-herpetic neuralgia – the severe pain that lingers after the rash goes away – shingles can cause eye problems, depression, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, loss of appetite and weight loss."
The pain has been described as excruciating, shock-like, burning and aching. It has been compared to having kidney stones or giving birth.
"Shingles can interfere with activities of daily living like bathing, shopping, getting dressed, traveling and eating," Grant said.
The disease is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox. After someone recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant – in a "sleeping state" – in the body, only to reactivate without warning years later.
Almost one out of three people in the United States will develop shingles in his or her lifetime, Grant said.
"Older people are at greater risk of developing it, with about half the cases occurring in people 60 or older," Grant said. "Shingles can't be passed from one person to another. However, a person with shingles can pass the virus on to somebody else. If a person who has never had chickenpox before is infected with it, they will develop chickenpox, not shingles."
The only protection against shingles is to get vaccinated.
"Adults 60 or older can receive a single dose of the shingles vaccine, Zostavax®, which is available at your local health department," Grant said.
At this time, National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have a recommendation for routine use of shingles vaccine in persons 50 through 59 years old. However, the vaccine is approved by FDA for people 50 and older. It is available by prescription from a healthcare professional.

Isabella Fiore Paisley Frame Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Isabella Fiore's bags always catch my eye. They stand out from other bags and I have yet to come across one that I don't love. I like this one for the pretty contrasting detail as well as the shape. With a black leather paisley cutout over ivory, the bag is accented with antique brass hardware. The frame top is secured with a turn-lock closure and the inside features three pockets, one zip compartment and a cotton lining. $544.
