For the second time at East Tennessee State University, Buctainment and Frontier Health teamed up for the annual Stigma Stops Now event. The event was held on Sept. 29 in the D.P. Culp University Center. This year they brought four-time Olympic medalist Shawn Johnson.
Before welcoming Johnson to the stage, speakers from the university identified the importance and realism of mental illness.
"I think it plays a huge role," said Buctainment President Courtney Fitzstevens. "It brings awareness to it [mental illness]. It lets our students on campus know that other people go through it and you're not the only one, and it gives them someone to talk to."
Out of Johnson's four medals, one came from her performance in the balance beam at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, where she earned gold at 16-years-old.
Johnson stood in front of the university body and told her life story and how the pressure to succeed brought her down.
In an experience during the Olympics, where she was projected to come out on top overall, she gave her all and still fell short. After this experience, she struggled with depression for several years before deciding to retire.
Although it took Johnson a little while to find other interests, she did. She published "Stories Behind the Smile" in 2009.
She reminded everyone to love what you do, for you.
"You never really know what someone else is going through," said freshman Bryley Works. "So like Shawn, she was always putting on a happy face; she was always super excited to be a gymnast; that's what she devoted her life to. Up until she retired, nobody knew what was going on around her besides her center circle, which is the same thing with me. No one knew what was going on."
Works says she now always asks how people are doing, whether she asks first or they ask first, just to make sure they are okay.
If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone, ETSU offers people dedicated to helping students on campus. More information can be found at http://www.etsu.edu/cas/psychology/bhwc/.

Working with a Qualified Lender is CriticalOne of the best advantages you can give yourself is to align with a reputable lender early. Due to changes in the lending environment, closings are taking longer and there are more hurdles to overcome to get to closing. It is critical to work with a reputable lender who can close within reasonable timelines and who will be proactive to ensure that the details of your transaction are managed correctly. Finding a lender before you submit an offer on a property can ensure that there are no surprises once you have found the right home for you. As one of my clients, I am happy to provide recommended lenders who have consistently provided exemplary service and competitive rates.

Babyfather star Don Gilet is to play Chelsea Fox's (Tiana Benjamin) long-lost father in EastEnders.
The actor, who also appeared in 55 Degrees North, stars as ne'er-do-well Lucas Johnson, who turns up in Walford after Easter to find the daughter he walked out on when she was a baby.
However, Chelsea had hoped that her dad might be a wealthy businessman and his arrival proves to be a major disappointment.
A show source told The Mirror: "Lucas is attractive, charismatic, strong and forthright but that isn't enough for Chelsea.
"Having never met her dad, who walked out on mum Denise when she was a baby, she's always imagined him as a flash businessman. But actually, he's just a dodgy geezer with a murky past."
Diane Parish (Denise) will return later in the year after giving birth to her second daughter.

Bubble Tracker
This is my bubble tracker, I am going to cover every team I believe could either fall out of the tourney field or move into the field.
In Joe Lunardi's Bracketology right now I see the 1-9 seeds as safe. Everyone else is in danger from some 10 seeds to the bottom of the bubble so read below to see what your team has to do to be safe.
Bracketology: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology/_/iteration/209
Providence(10 seed)- Providence has really worked some magic winning vs Butler and Xavier, then overcoming huge deficits to beat Creighton and Marquette. They are currently tied with Seton Hall, and a half a game up on Marquette and Xavier in the Big East. They now beat St Johns to complete the regular season. Providence is a 3 seed in the Big East tourney, but in a tough spot because they play Creighton first, where a loss could put them right on the cut line for an invite to the big dance.
Syracuse(10 seed)- The Orange got a huge win at the buzzer vs Duke which I thought got them a spot in the tourney, but they turned around and got destroyed by Louisville raising questions. Syracuse had something to prove on Saturday, and they did where they destroyed Georgia Tech to most likely clinch a bid. In the ACC tourney, Cuse fell to Miami leaving them to wait and see if they get in sitting right on the cut line.
Marquette(11 seed)- Marquette just got a huge win at Xavier which saved their very good season. After that, Marquette ended their season with a bang taking out Creighton for a big win, but then fell to Seton Hall in Big East tourney play which leaves them right on the cut line like Cuse, to hope and pray on Selection Sunday.
Wake Forest(11 Seed)- Wake Forest has been quiet lately looking for a huge win. They came close to beating Duke, but not quite. BANG I wrote and Wake listened upsetting #8 Louisville for a huge win to boost them majorly. Shortly after that they took out Virginia Tech which boosted them up, just for them to fall to Virginia Tech in a rematch game in the ACC tourney. This leaves Wake Forest with Marquette and Cuse to just wait and see on Selection Sunday.
Vanderbilt(11 seed)- This team looked to be done and came out of no where to win 4 straight, one being to #21 South Carolina at the time. It is gonna be tough for them though, they just lost a hard fought game Wednesday where they led the majority of the game @ Kentucky, then they finished their season by upsetting Florida. They play Texas AM first in SEC Tourney where a win could seal a tourney invite.
Xavier(12 seed)- Xavier has struggled as of late, losing 5 straight all to projected tournament teams which makes it a little better, but still not good for their resume. They had a good chance to get a good win Wednesday at home vs Marquette but could not get it done which hurt them even more. Xavier finished the regular season with an easy win against Depaul. Xavier will take on Butler in the Big East Tourney in a must win game to make the big dance.
USC(12 seed)- USC dropped a terrible game to Arizona State which really hurt. Then they beat Washington and Washington State to end their regular season. USC will play UCLA in second round action of the PAC 12 tourney leaving them in a win and you are in or lose and you have to pray situation.
Rhode Island(First 4 Out)- Rhode Island fell off the bubble then came back winning 3 straight with one of those being against first place VCU. Beating VCU was huge and gave Rhode Island life. Rhode Island finished the regular season with wins over St Joes and Davidson(in OT) to get them a 3 seed in the A10 tourney which is huge because a win gives them a great chance to make the big dance. They play St Bonaventure in a tough game to start the A10 tourney. Win and they will be right on the cut line going into the semifinals.
KSU(First 4 Out)- KSU got a huge win Wednesday night knocking off TCU and likely ending TCU's season. They then on Saturday knocked off bubble team Texas Tech to finish their season on good note. They still need a win in the Big 12 tourney to me and will have to beat Baylor for that win.
Houston(Next 4 Out)- Houston seemed ti be done with a blow out loss to Cincy. However, still have a chance if they can beat the Uconn/USF winner then take out Cincy in a revenge game.
Richmond(My Possibilities)- The Spiders have moved into 3rd place in the A10 and have been playing great. Yes, they fell to George Mason last week and could not beat first place VCU, but 11-5 in conference and 17-11 overall should be a bubble team. They will need to make a statement in the A10 tourney to be talked about in tourney talks.
Likely Out, but still a chance
Indiana- They still have a chance to some, but not to me after a loss to Purdue. They can some what prove their worth in a huge game vs Iowa in the Big Ten tourney.
Iowa- Some are saying that with 3 straight wins over Maryland, Indiana, and Thursday Nights win over Wisconsin are enough to give them a spot on the bubble, but I personally do not have them there. They can prove their worth in a huge game vs Indiana in the Big Ten tourney.
Georgia- Likely out after getting blown out by Arkansas. Still a chance though if they can find a way to get a win vs Kentucky in SEC tourney. They challenged Kentucky twice this year.
Cal- Has to beat Utah in PAC 12 tourney to be still relevant.
TCU- Upsetting Kansas in Big 12 tourney could get them back on the bubble.
At Large Bid Thieves
At large bid thieves are teams that steal at large bids, meaning a small school steals a bid from a large school by not winning their Conference Tourney, but are viewed as good enough by the selection committee. All the teams that could be candidates of this are listed below. Keep in mind these teams would have to at least make it to the championship in their respective conferences.
Wichita State- Currently Porjected as an 8 seed, they are the biggest at large bid thief of them all, and very likely do not have to win the Missouri Valley Conference Tourney to be in, either does Illinois State out of the MVC.
Illinois State- Who currently sits on the bubble could also get in by not winning the MVC. It is likely though that Illinois State or Wichita State will win and the other will be the runner up, so both will likely steal bids.
It is official Wichita State and Illinois State should both make it to the big dance for making it to the Missouri Valley Championship, making the loser an at large bid thief.
Middle Tennessee- The Blue Raiders beat Michigan State as a 15 seed last year as we all know, have been playing fantastic ever since with all 5 starters that won vs MSU last year. They are projected a 10 seed right now going into the C-USA tourney so losing in the C-USA Championship would likely still get them into the tourney making them an at large thief.
Vermont- Vermont finished the year undefeated in American East play and are a projected 13 seed right now. The Selection Committee would have a great team sitting there if they lost in the American East Championship, however the resume may not be good enough. This team could be a huge at large thief it all depends on the committee.
Princeton- With a great resume and no losses in conference and a projected 13 seed, Princeton could steal a bid if they lost to a team like Harvard in the Ivy League Championship, but it would be a stretch.
UT Arlington- Projected as a 12 seed puts this team in a great position to make a run in the super tough Sun Belt tourney, lose in the championship, and still get into the big dance.
Now for one last at large thief, I have the Mountain West Conference. Nevada is projected as a 12 seed and could easily be in the Tournament with a loss in the championship game along with Boise State who is identical with one less win in conference.

The Day I Made The Front Page!
In case you can't see the fine print, it reads:
FRESH PUDDLE ICE formed from the January rains collapsed under the weight of a car driven by Adam Kennedy, above right, Sunday on Otsego Lake. Kennedy and friend Matt Briggs, both of Gaylord, examine the spot where the car's wheels rest on thick lake ice. With an assist from lake resident Wayne Miller, a tow truck on shore south of the state park arrived and Kennedy attached the 300-foot cable to the trailer hitch. Miller paced the car's distance from shore at 288 feet before the vehicle eased out.
Now that's what I call news!
The date is Thursday 24 January 1980. We lived on a sort of bluff at the south end of Otsego Lake and were sitting have Sunday dinner (Banquet Chicken, probably) and we saw this guy spinning donuts on the ice. Somebody wondered if the ice was too thin.
Kerplunk. Just to show that you can't trust anything you read, I didn't know Adam from Adam, though the paper says we were pals. And how thick could the ice have been if the car had gone through? Global Warming was a menace even then! We sure were examining the spot where the car nearly sank into oblivion, though. Our postures positively radiate examinationness, or perhaps it is examinationativity. Anyway, not much else we could have done until the tow truck arrived.
The sticker on the side of the car, incidentally, is for Alpenfest 76. The town at all times of the year dresses itself up in an ersatz Bavarianism, but during the third week of July the residents, who were predominately Polish, join in for the thing which is Alpenfest. There is the burning of the Boog, die grosse kaffeepause, the singing of Edelweiss, a Queen contest which is always the subject of intense betting, booths of cutesy country crap (crafts! I meant crafts) on the Alpenstrasse (main street), a parade in which I marched as part of the High School band, and carnival rides.
The carnies used to have the Dime Game in which bettors placed dimes on colored squares and where somebody tossed a racquetball into a pen with colored holes. The prize was candy. Loved it. But the State in its role of in loco parentis shut it down because it looked too much like gambling. Or maybe it's because the State treasures its monopoly on that sport. Or maybe it was standard American puritanism. Whichever way, it's gone.
Careful readers will have noted the absence of ice fishing houses in the picture. Most of these were on the north side of the lake anyway, but many took them off because of the rain.
But there's no mistaking the foggy grayness which is a permanent fixture of Northern Michigan winters. If it wasn't snowing, it was about to. Gaylord is the high and snowiest point in the lower peninsula. Lots of lake effect. Sunny days in winter were rare, but boy were they pretty. Perfect time to go cross-country skiing.
Or hunting. My friend Chuck Coonrod—whose dad, then a school bus driver, is coincidentally mentioned in this same issue of the stately Herald Times—would head up the hill behind his house and go an kill animals. I still remember the first time I baked a liberally salted and peppered squirrel in the oven. It was good!
Behind his house was a steep, winding hill. Chuck had metal saucers on which we would sit and launch ourselves into near oblivion. This was still in the day of cloth snow suits. The end of a good afternoon saw us drenched and steaming sitting by his kitchen table snacking on the bacon his mother always had by the side of the stove.
Soft spots in the lake weren't the only danger. My nephew had a video which I am unable to rediscover which showed how in the spring the wind would push chunks of ice onto the land. An inexorable flow, like cold lava. It doesn't sound much, but all that weight does damage. I got my leg stuck once and thought it would going to break off.
Good thing we can simulate all this stuff on a computer now. So much safer.
Update The horrific (placed there by my enemies) of mislocating Alpinefest to the wrong month has been fixed. Consider this a belated trigger warning.

RE: And how thick could the ice have been if the car had gone through? Global Warming was a menace even then!
Yes, didn't 1977 or 1978 mark the turn around from "The Ice Man Cometh" to the first rumbling of "Man-Gore-Pig"?
Safer, yes. As educational and entertaining, no! I refuse to use computer simulations for all those things Mythbusters says not to try at home! (Too late on several of the warnings anyway!)
On the same topic, America's Funniest Home Videos seems to offer a vicarious trip into what not to try at home—like diving off the roof onto trampolines, etc. All is not left to computers as long as you can make $10,000 for showing the world how really stupid you are!
Love those Michigan town names: Gaylord, Grayling, Charevoix, Petosky, Kalkaska, Alpenia, and others. Makes me think of railroad conductors announcing "next stop Charrrlavoy." The UP is a cold place, even in summer. Got stuck in a snow drift in mid June outside Ishpeming doing field work for Cleveland Cliffs Mining Company. Evidence of glaciation was all around. Exposed cliffs along the shore of Lake Superior were scoured and polished by hundreds of thousands of years of glacial ice miles thick. Glaciers gouged out bowl shaped depressions in granite that became swamps, but the swamps were on top of the hills! So add lots of glacial ice to the seasonal inexorable flow of lake ice each spring. Climate sure was different but 10,000 years ago. In Michigan, the geology and topography, tell the story. Town names add color!
"From Gaylord"
Now I understand the high occurrence of some topics! 😉
Woke up in East Jordan (same latitude as Gaylord but further West) on Sunday to 14 inches of lake effect snow. It's a little early for that much powder but it's not exceptional. It made the opening of firearm season more difficult. Much harder to walk to your stand.
why is it called a stand when one mostly sits in it?
To wit:
(From a 2007 post of the International Maritime Organization)
Through the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of its 188 Members, WMO has played a crucial role in detecting, and alerting humanity to, climate change and is now at the forefront of responding to this challenge. Its work in this area has included: the publication of the first authoritative statement on the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the potential impact that this process might have on the earth's climate (1976); the establishment of the World Climate Research Programme (1979) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (1988); and the development and adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992).
STRESS :: the first authoritative statement
It's authoritative…
This one is even better from the horse's mouth ballyhooing its 60 year existence (1950-2010) … PLUS
a special booklet that outlines the WMO's historic achievements and illustrates sixty ways that WMO makes a difference in our daily lives (DAILY! How can I get one?)

It was kind of hard to find (at least for me had to wade through a few downloads before I found what I wanted – there's even a cute picture of a little girl hugging the world)
Sorry for the inundation, wanted to get this right (I knew '88 was important – Hansen's appearance before Congress but I heard rumors about the mid-seventies – as Alarmist pooh poohed that any true scientist bought into the Time/Newsweek Ice Age scares of the 70s)
This is all
John B: Shouldn't it be a little girl hugging a polar bear? 🙂
Nowadays, that car in a "puddle" would invoke actions by hundreds of those "concerned" with environmental cleanup; taking weeks; and environmental reports on the impact of species, etc. being sent to the EPA. Before the vehicle is allowed to be moved.
DAV, It's also called a blind yet you can see out of it.
Love those "hunting blind" observations!

Friday night action from the English Championship will see leaders Hull City host fourth place Derby County at the KC Stadium. Hull City have had a great start to life in the Championship and Steve Bruce's side are among the favourites to come straight back up. Hull have a Premier League quality squad with Huddlestone, El Mohamaddy, Hernandez, Dawson and Meyler all quality footballers and making the difference at this level. Hernandez has been excellent this season and with seven goals is top scorer for the tigers. Hull have been in excellent form at home and have dropped just four points at home all season with two draws and six wins at home this season.
While Derby have also had an impressive start to the season and are only two points behind Hull in the league table. Tom Ince will start against his former club haveing spent half of last season on loan at Derby Ince made the move this summer and has been instrumental in everything good that Derby have done. Derby fell out of the playoff places last season after a terrible end to the season which probably cost Steve McClaren his job. But the team has picked itself up and the squad has definitely improved over the opening three months of the season. Derby are in a strong position right now and come into this game in great form having won nine of their last twelve with just one loss away to Nottingham Forrest over that time period. Weimann, Martin and Ince are a tough front three to play against and will create lots of chances here in what should be a marquee match up for the Championship.
Taking the overs here in a game that should be filled with attacking free flowing football. The Friday night Championship fixtures have not had a lot of goals in them recently with the last three finishing 1-0, I think that changes here on Friday with both sides possesing lots of attacking talent and both teams likely to press for the win here. Take the overs and cash an early weekend winner

The Story of the Claddagh Ring
Irish Claddagh Rings are probably the most culturally rich pieces of jewelry ever recorded in history. The design of the Claddagh ring and even the way the ring is worn are all deeply rooted in Irish tradition. It was probably one of the first pieces of real jewelry I owned and was ever so proud of. As a young girl it felt so grown up to wear one as you felt everyone would look to see which way it was pointing!! Older aunts would look and say ooh so you have noooo boy friend or oooh so you have a boyfriend!! It was a little too telling at times!! I know I never realised it had such an ancient history. There are a few legends, some more believable than others, that crop up around the Claddagh ring but there are two main ones. But first we can start with some facts about the area where The Claddagh ring got its name.
Simple silver Claddagh ring like the one I first wore
Claddagh Fishing Village
The Claddagh is actually the name of a small fishing village on the west coast of Ireland In county Galway. This is where the tradition of the Claddagh rings first started. The word Claddagh itself comes from the Irish language 'An Cladach' and means a 'flat stony shore'. This was a pretty and ancient village with winding streets and small thatched roofed mud houses. There is very little sign of the old village now as the city of Galway has expanded and swallowed it up. There is nothing left today of the thatched cottages where the fishermen and their families lived but Claddagh is still a clearly defined area around the Dominican Church of St Mary on the Hill and just over the Wolftone bridge at the mouth of the Claddagh Quay there are a handful of houses bearing the Claddagh insignia. Property in the area is in high demand as the location is both close to the now thriving city of Galway and is close to the sea with beautiful views over Galway bay.
The Claddagh ring is a traditional piece of Celtic jewelry given in friendship or worn as a wedding ring. The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old walls of the city of Galway.
The history of the Claddagh ring dates back over 300 years. The ring was first produced in the 17th century during the reign of Queen Mary II, though elements of the design are much older, as The Claddagh ring is actually variant of an older design called "Fede" rings which date to Roman times. Fede rings comprise of two hands clasping or Hands together in Faith, or "Mani in fede" The Claddagh ring expanded the design to have the hands clasping a heart topped with a crown.

The legends of the Claddagh Ring (no 1)
The most popular story, and arguably the most persuasive concerns a fisherman by the name of Richard Joyce. Joyce was a native of Galway. He left his town to work in the West Indies, intending to marry his love when he returned. However, his ship was captured and he was sold as a slave to a Moorish goldsmith. In Algiers, with his new master, he was trained in his craft. When William III became king in 1689, he demanded the Moors release all British prisoners held in slavery. As a result, Richard Joyce was set free. The goldsmith had grown fond of Richard Joyce and had a great respect for his abilities as a goldsmith so he offered Joyce his daughters hand in marriage and half his wealth if Joyce agreed to stay in Algiers. Joyce declined his offer and returned home to marry his love who was waiting for him. During his time with the Moors, he forged the first Claddagh ring as a symbol of his love for her. Upon his return, he presented her with the ring and they were married.
Several examples of Joyce's works are still in existence. He flourished as a craftsman in gold and silver in Galway up to about 1730. Some of his Claddagh Rings and Silver Chalices still survive in Museums and collections throughout Ireland.

The second Joyce theory
A Galway woman named Margaret Joyce Married a rich spanish merchant named Domingo de Rona. When he died she inherited his fortune. She later married the Mayor of Galway in 1596 (Oliver Og French)and used her inherited wealth to construct many bridges in Connacht. Legend has it that as she was overseeing the construction of one of these bridges one day an Eagle flew over and dropped a ring into her lap, and the ring was the first Claddagh Ring.
White Gold Claddagh Wedding Ring
But why was it called The Claddagh Ring
W. Dillon in his publication on "The Claddagh Ring" in the Galway Archaeological Society Journal, Vol. IV, 1905-6, defines the limits over which the ring is worn as roughly from the Aran Islands on the West, and through all Connemara and Joyce Country to Galway, and then eastward and southward for not more than 12 miles at most. The whole district is the one served by fisherfolk of the Claddagh village just outside the city of Galway, but became known as the Claddagh ring probably because of the proximity to the city of the large Claddagh fishing community using the ring alone.

Support for the Richard Joyes Legend
The following account is given in James Hardiman's History of Galway (printed in 1820)which is considered to the definitive history of Galway city and county from the earliest of times until the early 19th century.
The book is now out of copyright and is available on the web. Free to download.
Several individuals of this name have long felt grateful to the memory of William III from the following circumstance, on the accession of that monarch to the throne of England. One of the first acts of his reign was to send an ambassador to Algiers to demand the immediate release of all the British subjects detained there in slavery. The dey and council, intimidated, reluctantly complied with this demand. Among those released was a young man of the name of Joyes, a native of Galway, who fourteen years before was captured on his passage to the West Indies by an Algerian Corsair; on his arrival at Algiers, he was purchased by a wealthy Turk who followed the profession of a goldsmith. Observing his slave Joyes to be tractable and ingenious he instructed him in his trade in which he speedily became an adept. The Moor, as soon as he heard of his release, offered him, in case he should remain, his only daughter in marriage and with her half his property. All these, with other tempting and advantageous proposals, Joyes resolutely declined; on his return to Galway he married and followed the business of a goldsmith with considerable success
The book this excerpt s from has some really interestng stuff in it. including Maps and Family sheilds dating back to the 1800,s i tried to copy some over but failed.

The meaning of the Claddagh design
What does the Claddagh design Signify?
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, surmounted by a crown. Each of these three elements carries its own distinct symbolism
The Hands represent friendship
The Heart represents love
The Crown represents loyalty
The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: "Let love and friendship reign."

How to wear a Claddagh Ring
But the meaning and significance of the Claddagh ring is not just in the crown, heart and clasping hands, it also extends to the hand on which the ring is worn and the direction in which the Heart on the ring points.
How to wear a Claddagh Ring
The way that a Claddagh ring is worn on the hand is usually intended to indicate the wearer's romantic availability, or lack thereof. Traditionally, if the ring is on the right hand with the heart facing outward and away from the body, this indicates that the person wearing the ring is, single and looking for a relationship. When the ring is worn on the right hand but with the heart facing inward toward the body, this indicates the person wearing the ring is in a relationship, or that "someone has captured their heart". When the ring is on the left hand ring finger with the heart facing toward the body, it means that the person wearing the ring is married.

Variations in Claddagh jewelry
A "Fenian" Claddagh, without the crown, was later designed in Dublin for the Irish Republican community, but that is not an indication that the crown in the original design was intended as a symbol of fidelity to the British crown. The Fenian Claddagh, while still being made, has not approached the popularity of the ancient design. In fact I have never even seen one!

Famous wearers of the Claddagh Ring
W. Dillon in his publication on "The Claddagh Ring" in the Galway Archaeological Society Journal, Vol. IV, 1905-6, tells us that the Claddagh ring was the only ring ever made in Ireland worn by Queen Victoria and later by Queen Alexandra and King Edward VII. Their rings were made by Dillons of Galway, established in 1750, to whom the Royal Patent was granted and the tradition has been carried on at Dillons to this day.
Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco in 1962 were presented with gifts embodying the Claddagh ring motif set in Connemara marble.
In 1984 when Galway celebrated its Quincentennial as a Mayoral City, the people of Galway presented a specially commissioned 18 carat gold Claddagh ring to President Ronald Reagan.
How the popularity of the ring became so widespread
The Irish Potato Famine (1845-1849) caused many to emigrate from Ireland, and the Claddagh ring spread along with the emigrants to the United States and elsewhere. Now the design is worn worldwide. These rings are often considered heirlooms, and passed on from mother to daughter as well as between friends and lovers.
The design has also been modified and modernised in many ways and worn as Claddagh Bracelets, Claddagh pendants, Claddagh earrings and Claddagh Brooches and my own Favourite recent find a Claddagh topped silver Christening spoon also incorporating a Trinity Knot. What a lovely message to include in a Christening Gift "Let love and friendship reign."

Classic Claddagh versus Modern twist
Do you prefer the classic Claddagh design or the modern twist on the Claddagh e.g.the wedding bands
Thank you for the information. I keep thinking there is some sort of religious involvement with the Claddagh. I guess I was wrong.
I have a claddagh ring that was left to me in my nans will. Unfortunately she passed this day last year, but she is in my heart forever and wont stop living her. Therefore after reading the info, my ring means 10x as much. Thankyou
Great hub - thanks for explaining it all so thoroughly. I LOVE IRELAND. I've just got back from a trip to Connemara, Galway where my sister has a small B&B. If you don't mind, I'll add the link to my hub so you can see how your beautiful Ireland looks in october - https://hubpages.com/travel/Southern-Ireland-stay - It is my pleasure to follow you.
Better late than never, cf. Your husband does great work. My daughter Meghann is pursuing photography and is quite gifted as well.(fatherly bias). Great to read the legends. Thanks for the great article. cheers.
nice photos and very good hub
I have Irish ancestry so was very interested in this information about the rings history and related information. The pictures are great, nice details and very clear which makes seeing the details of the jewlery possible for me, thanks.
This is very nice indeed! Beautiful jewellry. Keep it up CFlynn.
My daughter read this hub and chose this design as her Christmas present. She loves it and is very aware of how the ring is placed :)
Great info! I wondered how this design ever came to be and what it meant! I think it always makes a piece mean so much more if you know the history and symbolism behind it. Thanks
Great site -very informative and detailed information about Claddagh rings -something many people have heard of, but few (including me) know the history of!
I never knew this. Only heard that it was a wedding ring. Thank you. I really enjoyed this article and learned a lot.
This is a lovely hub. I am of Irish heritage and this hub reminded me of my great aunts and uncles thick Irish accent.

I always wanted do something different! Do you know the feeling when you want to be your own boss and you want to show the world that you are meant to be successful on your own? I had the feeling and wanted to create something cool, something out of the box, something exciting and something that gives me the ability to be financially independent.
After the first two months working at a prestigious marketing agency in Budapest I got really depressed and I was probably the most unhappy ever in my life. I felt ashamed that people, even my parents, work 10-12 hours a day for 25 years and I'm already complaining after 2 months?! I felt bad because I couldn't appreciate that I have a decent job and that my thoughts weren't all about being good at it. People kept telling me that I should find a good job and do all I can to be the best at what I do. That is all true, except for one thing: Working in a 9-5 corporate job isn't for me! I can't be happy this way. I wanted to built something new and the only way was for me to achieve that was to become an entrepreneur. But what should I build? I had no idea what the actual business should be. Just to put it into perspective I was 19 at the time.
Back then I was a dancer in promotions for different companies. I really liked to dance, the parties and the people I've met and it was a good way of making some extra income while studying at the university. Later on, this passion turned into my first company.
I truly believe, that whatever feels right, is our path and we should stick to it, no matter what other people tell us! You will hear a lot of comments from friends, family and everyone around you limiting you from launching your business. Here are the most common ones!
This is what can hold you back from starting your own business as a young entrepreneur:
1) 'You are too young and inexperienced to start your own business!'
Most of the people I asked before I started, told me to wait a few more years before I jump into my own business.
Sometimes the closest people to you can be really strong about their ways and they want to push you into the direction they want to go. Don't forget that is their way not yours! Every day I told myself how cool and amazing I am to start my own business this young as a positive affirmation. Just simply do it!
Have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that you must work towards.
2) 'You have no financial background!'
So many times I hear from my friends that they won't start because it's risky and that they can't afford to lose even their tiny savings. I used the money I've got from my family for my graduation to start my company. Don't worry, just be committed and follow your passion. I guarantee you, money is not going to be an issue later on!
"You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions." Gary Ryan Blair
3) 'Your idea sucks! There are already similar ideas to yours!'
It's not that important what your actual business is, if you believe in it, it is going to work. Nobody can stop you. If my business (girls juggling with bottles and dance) could survive on an Eastern European market during the economic crises, yours will work for sure. Have the passion and make sure you go crazy for your idea no matter what others are telling you. It's your Baby! Lot of people have children right? What your "child" is going to achieve is what he/she gets from You as a parent. There are many similar ideas or businesses like yours, but which one will make it to the Forbes cover? Depends only on one person: You!
4) You have negative beliefs or image about Entrepreneurs!
When I was sitting in my lawyers office for signing the contract for setting up my company, I thought that from that day I will have to act more seriously or dress in a different "business way" and all the fun is over. I know it sounds silly but I had that deep fear that nobody is going to take me seriously. I don't wear those kind of business casual clothes. Don't worry this is complete BS. Be appropriate and the same time keep your style and who you are. I love baggy pants and casual tops and I made some pretty damn good deals without the business lady look.
5) 'There is no market for this'!
There is always a market, you just need to find it and target it correctly! I made some short stops when I realized I am not at the right time or at the right place. This happens, don't worry and it has nothing to do with age or your work. You'll change directions if you have to and keep going. This doesn't mean you should limit yourself from becoming a young entrepreneur. Just react quick and sometimes spontaneous.
Find your passion, your dream work, I promise it is worth trying!
You don't have time to waste, life is beautiful, start to live the way you really want Today!

"Your move Ken Livingstone" says bullish Sean Spicer
White House press secretary Sean Spicer has challenged Labour something-or-other Ken Livingstone to one-up his comments about Hitler, in a bullish statement today.
Speaking in DC this morning, Spicer challenged the ex-Mayor of London to produce a comment more outrageous than his claim that Hitler never used chemical weapons, without facing any meaningful punishment.
Spicer said: "Ken took the lead when he managed to only get a slap on the wrist for his comments about Hitler and zionism. Fair play, that was incredible, but I think I put him firmly in his place yesterday.
"Can he come back – well, I'd usually say no. But if there's never been any better time or place to say it than the Labour Party in 2017."
Ken is rumoured to be currently planning a comment about Hitler's love of animals, but his major concern centres around when he will next be invited to make any form of public statement.

One of the most rewarding, inexpensive, under-used, and effective methods of marketing is to tie in your marketing efforts with the efforts of others.
The cost of acquiring a new client or customer is enormous. The average business will spend thousands of dollars in marketing, sales, and advertising to build goodwill and develop loyal clients or customers. Most businesses spend their marketing dollars to reach a large audience, and yet they're only going to get a small fraction of this audience.
By tying in with other businesses you can eliminate a lot of expense, time, and inefficiency in prospecting, and spend the majority of your valuable time and money on people who are ready to buy.
You can do this by developing a tie-in relationship with another business that has already spent the time, effort, and marketing to attract the same customers who you would like to have.
This type of relationship is beneficial for both your business and the business you are tying in with. It works like this, company A either controls, owns, or has developed client lists that company B wants to utilize to buy its products or services.
To create a tie-in relationship with another indvidual or company you need to identify all similar businesses, professionals, organizations, and even competitors who are in a position to control (or enjoy a favorable relationship with) viable prospects for your product or service.
Naturally this works best if both your businesses are in some way complimentary. But this is not necessary. The most important thing is for each of you to help cut marketing costs for the other while at the same time increasing your marketing.
The best way to do this is to approach each targeted business to allow you to act as the beneficiary and solicit the host's customers in return for a share of the resulting profits. Once this is done, there are three things you should do to maximize the profit for you and the host:
* Get the owner of the host company to write a letter of endrosement recommending your business and specific product or service to their customers. In return, the host receives a generous share of the profits from the deal.
* Get the host company to continually promote all your products or services to their customers even after the host has sold all the products or services they can.
* Get the host company to let you offer their products or services to your customers on a profit-sharing basis.
You will discover a whole world of tie-in possibilities by simply walking the commercial business streets in your community. You'll find many other tie-in possibilities by looking on the internet, in the Yellow Pages, the local newspapers, or by watching television.
As you might expect, the deeper the tie-ins, the greater the greater chance there is for profit. Having someone put a pile of your brochures on their counter or putting an affiliate banner on their Web site is one thing. But having them actually recommend your business is much stronger.
Every one ends up gaining in a tie-in relationship: the customer learns of a new place to buy whatever you sell, you gain, and the host business gains. Most importantly is that all this gain takes place at a much reduced marketing cost for both businesses.

Even in an industry where we are used to tragic developments, this one is hard to read. It doesn't help that everyone I've heard speak of him has said he was one of the nice guys in the business.
Here's the article:
Kamala was always one of my favorite colorful characters in the business. It's a shame that these types of gimmicks started disappearing to some degree.
The most powerful part of the article comes at the very end.
No matter what happens, Harris says he won't complain.That's an impressive perspective to have. I'm sure that attitude will help Kamala take on anything life throws at him.
He's no longer interested in dwelling on things that went wrong in the past—or in letting his current situation spoil what may lie in the future. Losing his limbs may have taken away his ability to walk, but it didn't rob him of who he is.
It didn't take away his spirit.
"Don't feel sorry for me," Harris says. "If you want to, encourage me. Embrace me. I'm going to be all right—just like I've always been."
Harris smiles and winks.
"I'm still Kamala," he says.

Chick Scratch - Otter 20KG
(Part Number 700-0099)
SPECIES: All Poultry and Gamebird Species
FEATURES: A blend of whole, cracked and rolled grains designed as a treat for the above species.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: A blend of rolled or cracked corn and wheat designed as a treat or energy booster for the above species. We suggest birds be fed regular balanced rations as the mainstay of good health and performance. Otter chick scratch can be used for free range birds to encourage birds to forage. This may be blended with regular diet (approx. 10%) where feed intakes are quite high due to colder weather and more activity outdoors providing extra energy without actually decreasing the intake of essential nutrients. The overall elevated feed intake due to cold weather or activity, or both, will ensure adequate intake of all basic nutrients when the mainline feed is fed free choice. If used as a top dress and used at an amount not limiting normal intake of the diet, the birds will not receive an imbalanced diet. One can also provide free choice oyster shells to ensure adequate calcium for layers for extra insurance because scratch feeds like this do not contain calcium and layers benefit from oyster shells anyways. Remember chick scratch is not a fully balanced feed. It contains primarily energy from the grains and is just a top up to a regular balanced feed. It is not intended to be the main feed. It is not a source of calcium or trace minerals and vitamins for example. It will help attract chicks to the regular crumbles and the coarser texture may help encourage good gizzard strength and over all gut health when used as a small adjunct to the regular crumbled or pelleted feed.

My wife and I were thinking of getting baby cam for monitoring our baby when he sleeps at night. There are many different kinds of baby cam in the market, priced ranging from $300 to $600 SGD. Even Singtel offers baby cam service for remote monitoring via mobile phone on monthly subscription basis.
We have no issue with the cost, but my problem is, those cams aren't exactly cool and sexy in terms of product design; more over, I am not a big fan of spending money on something that is useful for only a short period. Once Jude starts to walk and talk, the cam is no longer useful per se. Well unless I can find a cam that moves and follows Jude where ever he goes (maybe something like R2D2?)
With this in mind, I began to think I can put the old MacBook into a good use. Why MacBook? Because it has a built-in webcam (iSight). Don't worry if you don't have MacBook, any spare computer, be it Mac or PC, as long as you have a webcam connected to it, you are good! The rest of this post will be made into a step-by-step instruction for easy reference. So here we go…
What you need
- A spare computer (Mac or PC) that has internet connection (WiFi or Ethernet)
- A webcam (built-in or USB)
- For remote monitoring, you need another computer (Mac or PC), iPhone, iPad, iPod or Android phone. Obviously, it needs to be connected to internet
- Most importantly, you need to install iCam app (details below)
Setting up the surveillance unit
The computer
Make sure the spare computer is still good with internet connectivity and the webcam is working fine. Mine is a MacBook running on 2.2 GHz Intel CPU but I suppose hardware performance isn't pivotal in this since all we need is what the webcam can see and no super computing power is required (unless you are thinking about recording the captured video then you might need something more powerful.)
The software
Next, you need to install iCamSource to the computer. After that, just make sure the app runs properly and it detects your webcam.
To allow for remote monitoring, you need to enter a username and password of your choice. (Refer to help page for guides.)
Now this is VERY IMPORTANT: for both your username and password, use something that is difficult to guess.
To give you a bad example:
Username: icam
Password: 1234
With easy combination like above, you are risking letting prying eyes to spy on your baby.
If you want to be a smart parent, use something that even yourself can't remember without referring. In the event you have forgotten either the username or password, you can easily change them in the preferences panel again.
The camera
Not forgetting to mention, you need to make sure you are able to place the computer and webcam on a position that allows you to view the baby without obstruction. For my set up, I'm using the webcam came with my Xbox 360 (finally put to good use) that is connected to USB port via a 3m cable. With the length, I am able to place the webcam on the top of the shelf that gives me a good bird's eye view on Jude' crib.
Setting up the monitoring unit
Finally, the easiest part, depends on what you are going to use for monitoring, here are the different solutions:
Using computer
Go to iCamWeb, enter the username and password which you have created in steps above. Wait for some Java thingamajig to load, and voila, enjoy the cam!
Using iPhone/iPad/iPod
Install iCam app, it's only $4.99 and runs in both iPhone/iPod and iPad (i.e. no need to buy separate copies.) Runs the app, enter username and password and enjoy!
Using Android phone
You may get the Android version of iCam app here. Unfortunately I don't have an Android phone so I can't exactly get any screenshot of how it will look. But I suppose there won't be much difference.
The conclusion
If you haven't realized already, the winning point of this set up is, you don't need to stay within the same network in order to access the camera. For as long as you have internet access, either via the WiFi in your office or 3G connection on your iPhone/iPad, you are good to go. I have tested it on 3G with my iPhone 4, apart from slight lags, everything else was working per expected. Now is that a good news or what?
