John Magaro as "Douglas" in Not Fade Away, from Paramount Vantage and Indian Paintbrush in Association with The Weinstein Company.
Job title: Film, television and theatre actor. Currently playing "Douglas" in Paramount's Not Fade AwayMajor and degree earned: B.F.A. in theatre, 2005Hometown: Akron, OhioNow living in: New York CityHobbies/interests: Reading, cinema, theatre, hanging out with friends, traveling
I had family in Pittsburgh (my father grew up in Natrona Heights), so I had a familiarity with the city, and it inspired me to investigate Point Park. After visiting and auditioning for the Conservatory of Performing Arts, it seemed like the right fit for me.
Point Park grants students great freedom that many other schools do not provide — the freedom to develop as artists inside and outside of the classroom. In the classroom, students have the chance to work with faculty who nurture an appreciation and awareness for theatre. Students at Point Park also have many opportunities to apply what they've learned and develop it further, like working on productions at the Pittsburgh Playhouse and other theatres in community. This allows students to work side-by-side with experienced professionals in an industry setting. That is a priceless gift for students.
It was a slow build. I started small by doing community theatre and school plays in Northeast Ohio. By the time I graduated from high school, I couldn't see myself doing anything else and I still can't.
I think it is important to understand the value of hard work in the arts and especially in your education. I remember my freshman year at Point Park, I felt behind from my peers who seemed to have a greater knowledge of theatre and I felt like I had to catch up. I made a promise to myself to read a play every day. What you get out of your education is what you put into it. This has been said before, but it's true. Write, read, work on plays with friends outside of class, work on a student film and participate in plays during the summer break.
I would like to keep working on projects that I feel passionately about and continue to grow as an artist.
Everyone's journey in the performing arts is different. Try not to compare yourself to your friends. That's a dangerous trap and can lead to a lot of negative feelings. This is theatre. This is film. This is a play. Have fun and never lose sight of that feeling that made you want to do this in the first place.

Retailer roots out humping-hound USB drive
Shagging dog story?
We never thought we'd get the opportunity to say this, but quirky online retailer Brando really does love to do it doggy style.
Can't see the video? Download Flash Player from Adobe.com
The firm has launched a USB Humping Dog Flash Drive featuring an animated plastic pup that pumps away while sucking up your data.
The humping motion's performed at "high speed", which Brando claimed "somehow just makes it extra funny". We concur.
Does it need an explanation?
Inside the mounting mutt lurks an 8GB storage capacity, although the motion might be something you'd rather forget. It connects over USB 2.0 and measures a pocket-friendly 70 x 35 x 72mm.
The icing on the cake is that you can buy the USB Humping Dog Flash Drive as either a "Yellow Dog" - one for Linux fans, surely? - or a "Dalmatian Dog".
Direct yourself to Brando's website now, where the pup's available for $35 (£15/€20).

Cosmology From Alpha to Omega:
The Creative Mutual Interaction of
Theology and Science
by Robert John Russell
Fortress Press has released its latest title in the Theology and the Sciences Series, Cosmology From Alpha to Omega .
Topics covered:
Ian Barbour, in the book's Foreword says that Russell's "contributions to the dialogue between science and religion… are extraordinary and enduring." Dr. Russell is so versed in contemporary science as to offer original insights with credibility for both fields. Among Dr. Russell's many important publications are six influential volumes that he edited for the joint Vatican Observatory series on scientific and theological perspectives on divine action.
Russell takes theology and science beyond mere dialogue into genuinely new relations: "creative mutual interaction" in these chapters. The theological topics range from God, creation, suffering in nature, and the theological significance of life in the universe to an eschatology involving the transformation of the universe into the new creation based on the bodily Resurrection of Jesus. Scientific topics include the Big Bang, inflation and quantum cosmologies, relativity, quantum mechanics, molecular and evolutionary biology, exobiology, and the modern mathematics of infinity. (Augsburg Fortress Press, 2008) ISBN: 9780800662738.
Robert John Russell is Founder and Director of The Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences and The Ian G. Barbour Professor of Theology and Science at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. He is a leading researcher and spokesperson for the growing international body of theologians and scientists committed to a positive dialogue and creative mutual interaction between these fields.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Ernie Els finished up at The Barclays and hung around Long Island for a golf tournament equally important to him.
Els, a regular in the fabled Pro-Member at Seminole Golf Club in Florida, wanted to start something similar to help raise money for ''Els for Autism'' and the $30 million Autism Center for Excellence he is building in south Florida.
He hooked up with Ogden Phipps II at Deepdale Golf Club in manhasset, N.Y., to stage the first of what he hopes is an annual event.
''The members are paying quite a bit of money to play, and all that money goes to autism in my foundation,'' Els said.
Els arranged for 40 professionals to play, from the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour, a group that included Cliff Kresge, who also has an autistic son. The players did not receive any money to play.
''The neat thing about this day is that it's great for these players to meet some of the members,'' Els said. ''These are the movers and shakers of Manhattan and a lot of big corporations.
Not only is it beneficial to us, it could be beneficial to them. You have a good day with one of the guys, you never know what might happen. All in all, it's very positive.''
The event was supposed to be played last year after The Barclays until a hurricane got in the way, forcing a Saturday finish and chasing everyone from the area. The timing of the tournament makes perfect sense.
The Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston doesn't start until Friday, and Els scheduled a mid-morning shotgun start so players could finish early and either head into the city or go to the U.S. Open tennis.
''Deepdale has a great history, very much like Seminole,'' Els said. ''Not just anybody can rock up and play Deepdale. It's very exclusive. It's near the city and the members are the top of the top. I think it's good for everybody.''
Els said he staged a corporate day with sponsor RBC at Deepdale and several members showed up.
''They're golf nuts,'' he said. ''They're good guys.''

Vaccinations are a powerful, proven tool in our fight to prevent childhood infections. Because of the widespread use of vaccines in the United States, we have seen a dramatic decline in the number of children who suffer from deadly diseases such as polio, chickenpox, hepatitis B and whooping cough.
Vaccinating children with all the recommended vaccines, on schedule, is one of the safest and most advanced means of preventing infection.
Parents commonly ask whether it is better for a child to be "naturally" infected with a disease rather than receiving a vaccine to prevent it. The answer is the vaccine is better. It prevents children from suffering through a long, uncomfortable illness.
Active chickenpox, for example, typically means five to 10 days of high fever, 200 to 500 itchy spots, general crankiness and misery. Actual infections carry a higher risk of complications than vaccines do, including the possibility of hospitalization and long-term effects on quality of life.
A child who isn't vaccinated is at risk for infections that physicians in the United States may have never seen. A likely example is polio, which still flourishes in developing countries that lack a strong vaccine program. It only takes a plane ride for an infection to migrate to this country and infect an unvaccinated child.
If we stop vaccinating against these diseases, other people, not only children, may become infected.
An unvaccinated child can pass the infection along to others, perhaps a 3-week-old baby cousin the child was hugging and kissing, or to a grandparent with a weakened immune system, or to the person sitting next the child at a restaurant who just left the hospital after surgery or chemotherapy.
We don't want a child to spread an infection that a vaccine could have prevented.
Parents may wonder what risks or side effects, if any, result from vaccinations. Most side effects are minor, such as soreness where the injection was given or a low-grade fever. These side effects do not last long and are treatable. Serious reactions are very rare. The tiny risk of a serious vaccine reaction should be weighed against the very real risk of getting a dangerous disease that could have been prevented through vaccination.
There is no association between vaccination and autism.
We all know children with autism who have never been vaccinated, and we know far more children who have been vaccinated who are not autistic. Aside from these personal experiences, scientific studies have disproven any link between vaccines and autism.
If shots are delayed or spread out, children are at risk of not being fully protected at a time when they are most vulnerable.
Many parents understand the importance of vaccinations but want to spread them out over time. It's very hard to hold a child while he/she receives four vaccines in their legs, but vaccine schedules are scheduled all at once for a reason – they need to be administered when a child is most vulnerable to infection.
Children younger than 2 have the greatest risk for infection. If the child is unlucky enough to get infected, their young age is a risk factor for the disease becoming more severe. We start the vaccine program early to ensure that the youngest and most fragile children are protected as soon as possible.
Vaccinations will not overwhelm or weaken a growing child's body.
Some parents are afraid that too many vaccinations may overwhelm or weaken their child's immune system. Rest assured that our bodies, even little ones like children's, encounter many new things every minute and every hour of every day. Young children have a better response and protection to vaccines than older children or adults.
Parents and caregivers should be informed about vaccinations.
Parents and caregivers make decisions that impact a child's future every day. To feel good about their decisions, they should learn the facts about vaccines. The child's doctor is the first and best place for information about vaccines. Feel free to ask questions about vaccines at each and every visit.
The following organizations provide evidence-based, practical information about vaccines online:
- Voices for Vaccines
- Immunization Action Coalition
- Every Child by Two
- National Network for Immunization Information
- American Academy of Pediatrics
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
By vaccinating children on time, with all the recommended vaccines, we are using some of the safest and most advanced tools available to prevent infection.

Hero's & Passion
Some people say that I live, breath and drink the game of soccer, and to those people,
you are very correct
. I have a passion for the game that I want to share and instill into people that I come across, especially younger players.
Hero's & Passion
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Adrian Parrish
Some people say that I live, breath and drink the game of soccer, and to those people,
you are very correct
. I have a passion for the game that I want to share and instill into people that I come across, especially younger players. I want these young aspiring athletes to respect
the game
and all of those that are involved within it. With this I hope that the more they play, the more they gain a thirst that cannot be quenched.
This past Christmas will go down as the best one I have ever spent. I was fortunate enough to go
home to England with my son
, Owen
and girlfriend to spend the holidays with family and friends. It was great seeing my parents and friends tell my girlfriend about me as a child and how I grew up just wanting to be involved with football. I was fortunate enough to have made a career in the world's best sport on both sides of the Atlantic and I am still blessed that I can keep giving back.
The highlight of the trip was being able to take Owen to see my (and now his) beloved
(Red's) play at Anfield. The result might not have been great but it will be an experience that will forever be etched in my memory. He cheered, jumped up and down as his
hero's Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez played on the hallow turf.
Since then,
trying to explain the whole Suarez racism incident with a six year old has been complex, but it made me realize even more how much of an influence the professional players can have on the life's of fans and young children. I remember idolizing players as a kid and as I attempted to understand the Scouser's with their broad accents during our half-time conversations, you could see their passion for the club going as far back as the great Bill Shankly and how they really do live for the game.
As the final whistle blew at Anfield, disappointment set in as the Reds only managed a 1-1 draw against struggling Blackburn Rovers. So we trudged through the crowds to the club shop to purchase some souvenirs. However, the highlight of my day was still to occur. As we were walking back to the car loaded with bags, we noticed the players leaving the ground and Owen stood there in awe of Martin Kelly as he attempted to hold a two minute conversation with him, shaking his hand the whole entire time.
These are memories that I will never forget and as I start to read the Bill Shankly Autobiography, I keep trying to fit the American game (square peg) into the lifestyle that is lived and played in other countries (round hole). For the past decade we have been looking to improve the style of the game, the fan base and the professional leagues, but even as I watch events unfold at the NSCAA convention including the MLS Draft I can't help but feel we are still quite a bit off.
Over the past 10 years, the MLS has come a long way and it is great watching fans in stadiums creating atmospheres like they do in Portland
and Seattle
. I can see change happening and the league gaining more strength, I hope one day we do have the players being idolized like Gerrard and Suarez but before all of that occurs we have to make it free for the elite players to play and give them opportunities to test themselves in elite environments.
The MLS may be growing and people starting to follow the game, but I never see fans for any of the sports in the US having the same passion that they do for their clubs in England, Spain, Argentina and other nations where they simply live for the weekend. Prior to my trip back home I was instructing a USSF "D" License in Northern KY and as I sat eating my breakfast in the hotel lobby I watched fans from the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Stealers shared tables and discussed plays for that afternoons NFL game. I thought, " this would never occur in any other country", but as civilized as it was I missed seeing the fans who whole heartedly feel like they are kicking the ball with their hero's throughout the 90 minutes.
Now I am not a big reader of books but I do like reading the trials and tribulations of professional players through their autobiographies (IE Bill Shankley Autobiography). Many of you know the first chapter always starts about how they started playing and how much of an inspiration their parents were in their life. Some may say we have and advantage in this country because we offer programs that start for children as young as 4 years old. The difference is that it costs to play and it's organized in the United States where as in other countries it is free (both in cost and free from coaching, organization, and structure.)
Overseas, everyone can play and emulate their hero's, and with everyone playing the pool becomes bigger for the elite clubs to pick from. They learn how to work for it, but here most kids have everything handed to them. I will never tell a parent on how they should parent their own child (I have my own son to deal with) but I will always look back and gain inspiration from my own parents. They made me work for things in life including the opportunity to play football; It's only now that I am older I can turn around and see how much of a help my parents were. In the United States we criticize them for being over bearing, however if we are going to insist on charging kids to play we need the parents and they will forever feel like they have a right to voice their opinion.
Owen with my parents prior to a Liverpool match at Anfield
I always tell the kids to thank their parents for what they do, even now I would like to thank mine for driving me all around England when I was growing up so that I could kick the ball around. My biggest gratitude to them is for giving me some tough lessons when I made mistakes on the field. They may have been upset with me on occasions but I learned that if I created the problem, I had to solve it. However I know that I could have never played had we been forced to pay over $600 for 12 weeks of soccer. I guess we have to be thankful that some organizations are working out ideas to make the game free.
As those organizations grow it may have a counter reaction to the professional leagues because they are feeding the colligiate game. NFL, NBA and MLB need college sports but does Major League Soccer? I just watched the draft and saw young men aged 21-22 years old about to embark on a professional career, if you have not made it a another league somewhere in the world by this age you chances of ever making it become very slim. Some people may say the Premier League is detrimental to the growth of the English National team, is college soccer hurting the growth of the US National Team and Professional Leagues?
Many of you may have seen the opinions of Fox Soccer analyst and Former US Men's National Team player, Eric Wynalda at the NSCAA convention and he does have some great opinions on how the game needs to change. What frustrates me is how so many people can sit around and pick the game apart and tell us what we are doing wrong, but how many people are willing to try to change it.
I may never have the opportunity to affect some of the major issues on a national level to have an impact, but I do know that every child I work with, I will try and install a love for the game, respect all that are involved in it (including their parents) and give them the best opportunity to accomplish the goals that they want to reach. And hopefully help them find a Hero or two along the way!!

It is simple logic: two people together can achieve more than one person by himself. And if the second person happens to be God Almighty, then, there are no limits to how much can be accomplished! And so, it's just a wise decision to receive Him into your life!
God is a person and can be either received into your life or rejected. He is not just a power or spirit or a consciousness; He is a person. He has revealed himself through Jesus Christ.
I don't like to call my decision to follow Jesus or my baptism as an act of conversion or changing religion, because that is not what baptism or giving your life to Jesus really is. When God created Man (Gen1:27), He did not divide mankind into any religion or caste or any denomination. The first man on earth "Adam" was created by God in His own image (Gen1:26) out of His love. God gave him the rights and privileges on earth (Gen1:28-30) , but Adam lost that authority and also his relationship with God his Father because of his sin. (Gen3:1-6). I was in the same state of sin and I did not know my Father in Heaven and my Creator (Is 6:9-10, Mt 13:13-15) until I received Jesus into my life.
As a teenager, I found myself attending a youth festival that was different from other youth festivals in that it was a prayer gathering. I already had everything I wished for – friends, family, education and seemingly heading in the right direction - what could God offer that I would even be remotely interested in? Yet, I found myself drawn to the Bible being preached especially when a speaker quoted this verse from John 10:10, Jesus speaks to the people "Behold I have come to give you life and life in all His fullness".
I am Born-Again. Therefore, the old has gone and the new has come. I no longer live by my feelings but every moment of my life I now choose to live by the written Word of God. I choose to renew my mind and life according to God's eternal word. (John 3:1-5,Romans12:1-2)
Jesus, in his conversation with Nicodemus told him that unless a man is born again he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. So, if being born again is the way into the Kingdom of God, then it is of utmost importance; in fact, it is the most important aspect of a persons' life, as being born again or not is going to determine his/her eternal destiny.
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. (Heb 10:36)
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Rom 8:31-32)
Jesus loves you, wants to bless you abundantly and wants to make you a blessing!
Your life on the earth is not a mere accident, a mistake or by chance. God has a plan and purpose for your life on the earth and He desires to have a personal relationship with you! When you come to know God personally and experience His love, when you start focusing on eternal truths and seek His plan and go about fulfilling the purpose for which He created you, then you will have a peace, joy and satisfaction that you would never have otherwise and enjoy His abundant blessings in your everyday life… you will find meaning and purpose in life and start experiencing the FULLNESS of LIFE that Jesus promised.
El Shaddai Tabernacle is our Church based in Bangalore, India, where we focus on glorifying Jesus Christ through our lives, making ready a people prepared for the Lord and help each one receive the life in fullness that the bible promises by growing in Christ Jesus. So, as you go through the material on this website may God give you a deeper knowledge of Himself and the meaning and purpose He has for your life; may you be encouraged and may your faith in Him grow stronger; may you understand eternal realities causing you to trust in Jesus and moving you to become holy like Him… that as a bride is prepared in every way to meet her bridegroom, you also may be prepared to meet Jesus when He comes again.
Some Bible verses that will always help you:
Romans 8:28 : 'And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose'
Ephesians 3:20 : 'Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think'.
To know more on the meaning of El Shaddai please read the article EL SHADDAI.

Thriving off a total of 29 forced turnovers and 19 steals in the game, the Buccaneers rushed out to a 27-4 lead in the opening minutes and never looked back. ETSU was led by a game-high 22 points from fifth-year senior guard Travis Strong (
"The intensity and the start of the game were great and I was really proud of our effort even though this was an exhibition," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "This team really feeds off creating turnovers and our transition game. That was a key early because we were able to do that."
The Bucs, who are coming off a hard-fought 78-74 loss to Atlantic 10 foe
Along with forcing 29 turnovers and collecting 19 steals, the Bucs shot 59 percent from the floor for the game, including a 75 percent clip from the free throw line. ETSU out-rebounded Milligan 41-26 and dished out 25 assists to the Buffaloes mere 13.
For Milligan, only Isaiah Harris eclipsed the double figure scoring mark with 11 points.
The Bucs have now played their final exhibition of the year and will return to regular season action Saturday afternoon, hosting Ohio Valley Conference foe

If you're going to swing big, you can't swing wildly.
The National College Players Association—don't feel left out if it doesn't ring a bell—released what it called a comprehensive report on The Price of Poverty in Big Time College Sport. The report concludes (among other things):
— 86 percent of college athletes live below the poverty line.
— The average out of pocket expenses for each full scholarship athlete (there are partial scholarships awarded in many NCAA sports) was approximately $3,222 per year during the 2010-11 school year.
— The fair market value of the average Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I) football or basketball player was $121,048 and $265,027 respectively.
There are more than a few issues with the findings of the NCPA, an advocacy group launched by former UCLA football players that claims to have more than 17,000 members from more than 150 Division I campuses nationwide. It begins with the "poverty" argument.
Colleges are landing billion dollar television and multimedia contracts, and little has been earmarked for student-athletes.
However, a majority of students in college—those who play sports and those who don't—fall well below the federal poverty line. Moreover, many current student athletes wouldn't qualify academically under current freshman guidelines.
The NCAA sees this as a tradeoff: Athletes receive a free education, are trained by coaches and athletic trainers at the top of their profession, and receive free academic tutoring (among other things) to play and make millions for their schools. Athletes—and the NCPA—of course see it differently, and have a solid argument.
Still, by adding the "poverty" argument, the NCPA—a group that has been a strong advocate for student athletes—is confusing the narrative and looks desperate. Instead of talking poverty, the NCPA should continue to drive home these numbers:
— Texas football players were valued at $513,922.
— Duke basketball players were valued at $1,025,656.

This article describes how to transfer your current Arch Linux installation in or out of a virtual environment (i.e. QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware), and is heavily based on the Full System Backup with rsync article. A virtual machine ("VM", for short) uses different hardware, which needs to be addressed by re-generating the initramfs image and possibly adjusting the fstab – especially if it's an SSD.
While any Linux filesystem should work, it's recommended that you go with ext4, at least at first, until you get the hang of it.
- 1 Moving out of a VM
- 2 Moving into a VM
- 3 Troubleshoot
Moving out of a VM
Moving out of a virtual environment is relatively easy.
This part is specific to each program, so please visit their wiki page.
If you don't already have an ext4 partition, see Prepare the storage drive from the Beginners' Guide.
If you're on Windows, install Ext2Fsd to be able to mount it.
Transfer the system
From the virtual machine, open a terminal and transfer the system:
# rsync -aAXv /* /path/to/shared/folder --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*/.gvfs}
Chroot and reinstall the bootloader
Boot a "live" Linux distribution, mount the root partition and chroot into it:
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt # arch-chroot /mnt
Reinstall either Syslinux or GRUB, using the instructions from the Beginners' Guide. Don't forget to update the configuration file (i.e.
syslinux.cfg or
Adjust the fstab
Since your entire root tree has been transferred to a single partition, edit the fstab file to reflect the right partition(s):
# nano /etc/fstab
Check with the
blkid command, since
lsblk is not very useful inside a chroot.
Re-generate the initramfs image
Because the hardware has changed, while you're still in the chroot, re-generate the initramfs image:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
And that's about it.
You'll most likely need to set up the network, since the virtual machine was probably piggybacking on the host OS's network settings. See Configure the network from the Beginners' Guide.
Moving into a VM
Moving into a virtual environment takes a little more effort.
Create the container
This will create a 10 GB raw image:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/Backup/backup.img bs=1024 count=10482381
If you want to create one the exact size of your root partition, run
fdisk -l and use the value from the
Blocks column. Note that you will transfer you entire root tree, so that includes the
/boot and
/home folders. If you have any separate partitions for those, you need to take them into account when creating the container.
Now load the necessary module and mount it as a loopback device, on
/dev/loop5 (for example):
# modprobe loop # losetup /dev/loop5 /media/Backup/backup.img
Install gparted and slap a partition table on it (e.g. "msdos") and a filesystem (e.g. "ext4"):
# pacman -S gparted # gparted /dev/loop5
Transfer the system
Mount the loopback device and transfer the system:
/mnt or
/media, don't forget to add it to the exclude list.
# mkdir /mnt/Virtual # mount /dev/loop5p1 /mnt/Virtual # rsync -aAXv /* /mnt/Virtual --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*/.gvfs}
Sit back, this could take a while.
Convert the container to a compatible format
Change directory to where the loopback file is located and choose the appropriate command for your virtual machine:
$ cd /media/Backup $ qemu-img convert -c -f raw -O qcow backup.img backup.qcow2 $ VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI backup.img backup.vdi $ VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VMDK backup.img backup.vmdk
Chroot and reinstall the bootloader
Hook up the converted file from above, and the latest Arch Linux ISO into the virtual CD-ROM. Then start the virtual machine and chroot into it:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # arch-chroot /mnt
Reinstall either Syslinux or GRUB, using the instructions from the Beginners' Guide. Don't forget to update its configuration file:
- For Syslinux, it should be
APPEND root=/dev/sda1 roin
- For GRUB, it's recommended that you automatically re-generate a
Adjust the fstab
Since your entire root tree has been transferred to a single partition, edit the fstab file to look like this:
# nano /etc/fstab
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
Having an
intel, etc., entry in the
Device section from one of the Xorg configuration files will prevent it from starting, since you will be using emulated hardware (including the video card). So it's recommended that you move/rename or delete the following:
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak # mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.bak
Re-generate the initramfs image
Because the hardware has changed, while you're still in the chroot, re-generate the initramfs image and do a proper shutdown:
# mkinitcpio -p linux # poweroff
Finally, pull out the LiveCD (the ISO file) and start the virtual machine.
/media or
/mnt, folders which were excluded from the transfer.
Enjoy your new virtual environment.
"mount: special device /dev/loop5p1 does not exist"
Check with
fdisk for the starting block and use it as an offset:
# fdisk -l /dev/loop5
Disk /dev/loop5: 10.7 GB, 10733958144 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1304 cylinders, total 20964762 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000b45e8 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/loop5p1 * 2048 20963327 10480640 83 Linux
# mount -o offset=$((2048 * 512)) /dev/loop5 /mnt/Virtual/
"Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1; ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda1'"
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda1'. You are being dropped to a recovery shell Type 'exit' to try and continue booting sh: can't access tty; job control turned off [rootfs /]# _
It most likely means that you didn't run
poweroff like you were instructed to, and closed the VM with the "close" button, which is the equivalent of a power outage. Now you need to regenerate your initramfs image. To do that, you can start the VM using the Fallback entry. If you don't have a Fallback entry, press Template:Keypress (for Syslinux) or Template:Keypress (for GRUB) and rename it
initramfs-linux-fallback.img. After it boots, open up a terminal and run:
# mkinitcpio -p linux # poweroff
"Missing operating system. FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE"
You will need to install (reinstall) a bootloader. See the instructions from the Beginners' Guide.
Also, check the boot order from the BIOS or from the VM's settings. Make sure that the drive containing the install boots first.
I'm asked for the root password, for maintenance
:: Checking Filesystems [BUSY] fsck.ext4: Unable to resolve '...'
This means that you forgot to add the drive's UUID, label or device name in
/etc/fstab. The UUID is different every time you format it (or in this case, create one from scratch), and they likely do not match. Check with

(KUTV) — Many Americans begin the new year by vowing to eliminate stress from their lives, but for some workers, stress is just a part of the job.
A handful of commonalities are shared by the most stressful jobs. Some require workers to put their lives at risk, while others are constantly facing deadlines and tough competition.
"The stress and the pay may be deterrents for some people, but if you're motivated with what the work is, you'll still pursue it," said Kyle Kensing, online content editor at CareerCast. Some workers make the choice to work in stressful jobs because "it's about the impact they can have."
CareerCast identified the most stressful jobs based on 11 factors, including growth potential, deadlines and physical demands, and travel.
"Every career will face some stress," Kensing notes. "They are just comparatively less stressful. They aren't in the public eye, they aren't facing public scrutiny and the deadlines are typically longer term."
9. Senior corporate executive: $181,210
CEOs can earn massive paychecks, but this comes with a high dose of stress. The stress score for these executives clocks in at 48.7, or almost 10 times as high as the least stressful job on the study — diagnostic medical stenographer.
"You'll be asked to work extremely long hours, and your deadlines will be tight," Kensing said. "You're overseeing the deadlines in everyone in the operation. That will be the public name someone associates with an organization."
8. Public relations executive: $107,320
A public relations executive is among the better-paid workers on the most stressful list, but they are required to juggle a lot for the pay. Clients can be quite demanding, and reaching out to journalists and pitching stories can also be very stressful.
7. Broadcaster: $56,680
Broadcasters can be put under an immense amount of pressure due to constant deadlines, as well as living in the public eye. Breaking news can often require broadcasters to work outside the traditional 9-to-5 workday, and events they cover can conjure anxiety, like natural disasters and shootings.
6. Reporter: $37,820
Not only are reporters in one of the most stressful jobs, but they're among the lowest paid as well.
"If you're a newspaper reporter or broadcaster, you face deadlines every day," Kensing said. The upside, though, is feeling you are making an impact with your job, he adds.
Reporters face a tough future, with job growth projected 11%, according to CareerCast. This indicates that reporters will have a difficult time finding higher pay and job promotions, which adds to stress levels.
5. Event coordinator: $47,350
Event planners organize everything from weddings to professional conferences. This may sound like a fun, engaging job, but it involves organizational and communication skills to juggle schedules and personalities, which can contribute greatly to stress.
Most event coordinators need a bachelor's degree in a related field, like business management or hospitality.
4. Police officer: $61,600
It's simply a part of the job for police officers to risk their lives. Researchers have found that stress puts officers at a higher risk for health problems like high blood pressure and insomnia. Despite this, people who pursue this line of work are often driven by the desire to help others and improve their communities.
3. Airline pilot: $105,270
Airline pilots are compensated quite well, but their job delivers a fair amount of stress. One study found that almost 13% of them could suffer depression — almost double the national rate.
Stress comes from the responsibility of ensuring the safety of their passengers, in addition to dealing with shifting schedules, crews and the pressure to ensure on-time arrivals and departures.
2. Firefighter: $48,030
Similar to police officers, firefighters risk life and limb as part of their job. Scheduling is another stressful factor, with some departments making firefighters work 24-hour shifts. Chronic sleep deprivation can add to stress levels, which are already high due to the nature of the work.
1. Enlisted military personnel: $26,054
The most stressful job for 2018 is enlisted military personnel at the E3 level, or those with at least six years of experience, according to CareerCast. The job includes the risk of bodily harm or injury, as well as the necessity of living away from home.

It would not be surprising for many Catholics to hear in sermons this weekend that the Holy Family is a perfect model for our own families. It is rather hard to believe, isn't it? Whose mother was immaculately conceived? Whose son is the Son of God? And whose father would be willing to accept that his pregnant fiancée was still a virgin? For models to work, there have to be some actual parallels. It turns out that there are extraordinary ones.
In our Gospel reading, we find the Holy Family going to the temple to celebrate Passover. They joined other pious Jews who went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, as the Lord commanded (Dt 16:6). On the return trip, Mary and Joseph assumed Jesus was traveling among their friends and relatives, but to their alarm they could not locate him after the first day. Returning, they found him in the Temple in dialogue with the elders there. Mary admonishes him, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety." Jesus replies, "Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" (More literally: in the things of my Father.) Mary pondered all this in her heart, just as she did when the shepherds came to the stable (Lk 2:19).
The first reading aligns with this narrative as it involves Hannah, another mother who made a pilgrimage to the temple. There she dedicated her son, Samuel, to the Lord. Samuel will become the last and greatest judge in Israel. Though not in our reading, Hannah evens offers a hymn of praise to God (2:1–10) that sounds strikingly like Mary's Magnificat (Lk 1:46–55).
The first reading clearly parallels the Gospel, but how do we? And in what way can the Holy Family be a model for us? One of the more obvious ways is that they lived a life dedicated to their faith. That the Holy Family, along with their friends, neighbors and relatives, were reported as making their pilgrimage to Jerusalem shows that Jesus grew up in a normal, devout home, where they embraced the duties of their faith. Even Mary and Joseph's assumption that he was among the members of the caravan suggests the regularity of the event. It was not until the end of the first day of their return trip that they started to be concerned.
More penetrating, we see here the witness of ordinary family virtues, like patience and forgiveness, and an ongoing awareness of the wonder of the presence of grace within and around them. When we take seriously the profound lives around us, including those of our family members, friends and neighbors, we cannot help but ponder God's mysterious presence and the gifts God brings daily. Our reading ends with Luke telling us that "Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God and man." Shouldn't we strive to recognize this dynamic in those we know? And isn't it a wonder?
Even Jesus' explanation to his parents that he had to be about the things of his Father, which seems like a rebuke, ought to ring true in our own lives. Like Hannah, we must ultimately dedicate our children to God. They are ours only in one sense. In the end, they are God's, and are indeed children of God.
This is the message of our second reading, from the First Letter of John: "Beloved: See what love the father has bestowed on us that we may be called children of God. And so we are." Perhaps this can be our third parallel. By baptism, we really do know God as our very own Father. Of course, dedicating our children to God is not losing them to God. Rather, we find them all the more, as they embrace their deepest truth, their fullest flourishing.
Jesus' response to his mother should be the response we all make: It is necessary to be about the things of our Father. Only in this wholehearted response do we realize our divine adoption. Together as a family we grow in wisdom and age and grace before God and one another.

If you're looking for some quick ways to reflect on the meaning of Lent as you finish up Holy Week, here something you may want to check out. Salt + Light TV in Toronto had Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa do a series of quick Lenten reflections. They're all two minutes or less in length, so they're easy to digest. This one, for instance, is on how the prophets call us to reconciliation and repentance.
Others that you can sample are on the meaning of Jesus' sacrifice for us, why we focus on baptism during Lent, and how the life of King David reflects humanity's need for redemption.

Ice Wine and Unparalleled Views of Niagara Falls at 4-Star Hotel
Oscar Wilde once uninspiringly called Niagara Falls "simply a vast amount of water going the wrong way over some unnecessary rocks." But the falls' 12 million annual visitors tend to have a different reaction as they witness the thousands of gallons of water surging over the brink. If you really want to prove the cranky Irish poet wrong, Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa may have the ideal vantage point of the falls—the Travel Channel says it's the "closest hotel to the action" and "promises the best views."
In the Marriott's Fallsview guest rooms, you'll find prime views of all of the falls that make up Niagara—the Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil. After 7 p.m., colorful lights illuminate the falls, casting a breathtaking glow on their heavy mist. Riverview guest rooms put you right next to the serene Niagara River.
At the hotel's mezzanine level, the Terrapin Grille's floor-to-ceiling windows offer a close-up vista of the waters. The restaurant serves a hearty buffet of waffles, fresh fruit, and omelets for breakfast, then cooks up steak and seafood and pours local wine for dinner.
Included in this Groupon is a tour of the nearby Jackson-Triggs Winery, where you can sample their internationally acclaimed ice wine, the region's specialty dessert wine. A short walk from the hotel is the Fallsview Casino Resort, which provides three football fields' worth of slot machines and gaming tables.
Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks
At Niagara Falls, one of the world's seven natural wonders, water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario. The Canadian side of the Niagara River, however, is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in the photogenic American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.
Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—visitors board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps away from the cascading water.

Today's Washington Times offers two entirely different perspectives about the Trent Lott affair. Paul Greenberg regrets that Lott is suffering from "acute conspiracy syndrome." He's referring to Lott's claim that he was the victim of a Great Left-Wing Conspiracy, and not just against him but also against his state, his political philosophy, and his faith. Greenberg has no difficulty dispatching these claims. He notes, for example, that no one outdid the conservatives in denouncing Lott's comments, inasmuch as "the Jim Crow system he seemed to be defending was a profound violation of the two pillars of American conservatism," the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
Paul Craig Roberts, on the other hand, finds that Lott's fall is a defeat for the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment. He sees Lott as the victim of the political correctness movement or, as he puts, "thought control." Roberts' analysis is at least as off-base as Lott's. Roberts' analogies notwithstanding, Lott has not been prosecuted for a hate crime or persecuted by a university for exercising free speech. The First Amendment protects Lott's right to say whatever he wants to about Strom Thurmond. But when his statements appear to condone segregationist views, those who hate segregation act properly when they repudiate Lott on this issue. And Lott's fellow Republican Senators acted properly when they chose not to be led by someone who seemed to condone segregationist thinking. The decision to replace Lott is no more an affront to the First Amendment than the decision not to make Lincoln Chafee a Senate leader due to his liberal views.

Oh my, Mother Nature is stirring the pot a wee bit too vigorously. Oppressive heat and melting humidity have been the ingredients for her bubbling summer stew.
My antique air conditioner just can't keep up and I'm wilting. How about you? A couple of days ago when the weather was breaking all sorts of heat index records; there wasn't even a whisper of a breeze to cool us down.
This simply isn't the California I grew up in when my mother, as the sun was just setting, would raise all the windows in our front and dining rooms and the cross breeze was so refreshing. I believe that global warming is here — the weather just isn't like it used to be.
Just before the heat set in, the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Assn. (GLAZA) staged its 43rd annual Beastly Ball, raising nearly $1.1 million for its efforts.
At the gate to welcome guests was La Cañada Flintridge resident Connie Morgan, president of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Assn. and John Lewis, also a foothill resident, who is director of the zoo.
This is the summer party to attend and nearly 700 people donned their safari-type clothing to talk with the animals, sip cool beverages and dine on fabulous foods prepared by iconic restaurants from across the city. La Cañada's Jersey Mike's was just one of the restaurants preparing food for guests.
Two popular eateries that attracted on-the-go diners at the party were Pink's Hot Dogs and a mashed-potato bar. Just some of the other restaurants participating were Bar Celona, Canele, Celestino Ristorante, El Cholo L.A., El Coyote Mexican Café, the Federal Bar, Glorious Gourmet Catering & Garnish Café, Georgetown Cupcake Los Angeles, Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena, Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana, ix Tapa Restaurant and Cantina, Maison Akira, Taix French Restaurant, Villa Sorriso and Yummy Cupcakes.
All who attended had a sneak peek at the Rainforest of the Americas exhibit, which is under construction and is scheduled to open later this year. It will immerse guests in a rain forest experience. The key element of the exhibit's eclectic nature is its central theme of "Everything needs a home."
Partygoers also had an opportunity to bid on hundreds of amazing silent and live auction items and one-of-a-kind opportunities.
Receiving recognition that evening was Pauley Perrette, actress on television's popular NCIS show, for her charitable work throughout the city. Also thanked was Wells Fargo, which has a long history of charitable contributions to GLAZA, including partial funding for all three great ape habitats and the award-winning Elephants of Asia exhibit. Representing Wells Fargo at the ball were John Manning, executive vice president division manager, commercial banking group; Maria Clemow, executive vice president and regional president, San Fernando Valley; and Jonathan Weedman, senior vice president, community relations, Wells Fargo Foundation.
Perrette's award was established in the memory of Tom Mankiewicz, a beloved and highly regarded film and television writer and director.
Once again, this party was a huge success and remains a star of summer partygoing.
Liz Argue hosted the recent Happy Hour mixer at her Descanso area home for the La Cañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Assn.
She invited guests into her lovely house and also her expansive back garden to sip refreshments and taste the plentiful hors d'oeuvres that were brought by those who attended the event.
New members Steven and Heather Park joined Liz in welcoming guests. Representing Descanso Gardens was David Brown, executive director of the gardens, with colleagues Julliann Rooke and Rachel Young.
Among those attending the party were Sherrill Carbonetti, Eileen St. Amand, Barbie Eland, Lorie MacKenzie, Dick and Pat Anderson, Pam Wiedenbeck, Pamela and Bud Carney, Lee Johnson, John Burrows, Clyde and Bobbie Hemphill, Betty Jones, Brenda Gant and Jeff Hughes, Bill and Fran Evans, Donna Franklin, David Hildreth, Chuck Terhune, Roy and Lillian Olofson, Joel and Darleen Peterson, Pat Hutchins, Ann and Bob Neilson, Sue Beatty, David Granish and Julia Cameron, Adene and Jim Misamore, Cathy and Pete Palermo, Sharlyn French, Jenny Pass, and Peter and Susan Huntsman.
Other "floaters" enjoying the summer party were Nancy Wyman, Vera and Garth Gragg, Chuck and Harriett Hughes, Bev and Bob Wallace, Joey Mitchell, Adrine Issavy, Bill Pounders, Peggy Hotaling, Alex Keledjian, Art Johnson, Cab and Val Burgess, Terry and Gloria Beyer, Dave Moffett, Kitty Barr, Doug and Bev Albright, Richard Grippi, Daryal and Mary Gant, Tom and Martha Burns, Diane and John Landrum, Betty Ryan and Fred Keenan, Don and Joan Williams, Dee and Fraser Draper, Dick and Evie Barley, Larry Andreason, Harriet Hammons and Jim Geoghegan.
The next Happy Hour will be at the home of Wendy and Phil Wyatt, 4242 Oakwood Ave., at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 26. No reservations are required; simply take an appetizer to share and enjoy the evening.

So Henry starts kindergarten next week.
Kindergarten around these parts--did I mention?--is a half-day affair.
Half day. As in not a full day.
The program was supposed to be changed to a full day, but then at the last minute it wasn't, just like that. We could discuss the pedagogical arguments behind the half-day versus the full-day program, but actually we couldn't because I wouldn't know what I was talking about and would just nonsensically throw around some jargon I Googled. So let's skip that, for the good of all mankind.
I'm just not quite sure how this schedule is going to work for us. In many ways, I think (I hope) that it will all work out just fine. Henry's pretty self-sufficient and will spend entire mornings playing with Legos. And me, my work involves writing a sentence then walking in circles and then writing another sentence, so it's not like I have anywhere to go. He's in the afternoon session, so we can both do our thing each morning; we don't have to rush out the door, he can Lego it up in his pajamas until noon, and then we can take a leisurely stroll over to the school. I picture him quietly constructing masterpieces while I'm, uh, writing masterpieces. This is what I imagine when I'm in an optimistic mood.
On the other hand, BLAAAAARRGH. Henry's been in preschool for the past three years, and last year he was in school for a full day. He is so ready for school. Real school, not these afternoon shenanigans. And this half-day? It's three hours. Three. Not four. Three. Actually it's about ten minutes less than three, and when you factor in the fifteen-minute walk back and forth, that leaves me with approximately ten minutes to get any work done. I am certain my math is correct. But then, I was in a half-day kindergarten, so what do I know.
There are programs I could put him in for the other half of the day, but, oh, the bottom line is I don't want to. I don't want to spend any more money on school, and also I think he'd get just as much, if not more, out of doing his thing over here. All that said, the time is drawing nigh, and the year is stretching out before us, and I'm getting a little nervous.

"Wall Street looms so large for Americans, especially lately, that it's easy to forget that its peculiar characters and cultures—from bankers and speculators to shysters and swindlers—grew up in the South before the Civil War. By revisiting the Age of Jackson and the land rush following Indian removal, Joshua D. Rothman follows the money to reveal the cultural history of modern American capitalism. A master storyteller and researcher, Rothman digs up amazing (and often hilarious) tales of real strivers who made, missed, and lost fortunes. Flush Times and Fever Dreams reminds us how thin the line has always been between investor and gambler, success and failure."
—Scott A. Sandage, author of Born Losers: A History of Failure in America
In 1834 Virgil Stewart rode from western Tennessee to a territory known as the "Arkansas morass" in pursuit of John Murrell, a thief accused of stealing two slaves. Stewart's adventure led to a sensational trial and a wildly popular published account that would ultimately help trigger widespread violence during the summer of 1835, when five men accused of being professional gamblers were hanged in Vicksburg, nearly a score of others implicated with a gang of supposed slave thieves were executed in plantation districts, and even those who tried to stop the bloodshed found themselves targeted as dangerous and subversive. Using Stewart's story as his point of entry, Joshua D. Rothman details why these events, which engulfed much of central and western Mississippi, came to pass. He also explains how the events revealed the fears, insecurities, and anxieties underpinning the cotton boom that made Mississippi the most seductive and exciting frontier in the Age of Jackson.
As investors, settlers, slaves, brigands, and fortune-hunters converged in what was then America's Southwest, they created a tumultuous landscape that promised boundless opportunity and spectacular wealth. Predicated on ruthless competition, unsustainable debt, brutal exploitation, and speculative financial practices that looked a lot like gambling, this landscape also produced such profound disillusionment and conflict that it contained the seeds of its own potential destruction. Rothman sheds light on the intertwining of slavery and capitalism in the period leading up to the Panic of 1837, highlighting the deeply American impulses underpinning the evolution of the slave South and the dizzying yet unstable frenzy wrought by economic flush times. It is a story with lessons for our own day.

A Los Angeles Times profile this week of a would-be Kansas abortion doctor follows a pretty straightforward path. It's as simple as 1-2-3:
1. Brave doc steps in to fill the void left by the slaying of Dr. George Tiller.
2. Brave doc encounters threats and abuse from radical abortion opponents.
3. Brave doc presses forward despite the spooky climate in a state with some of the nation's most sweeping anti-abortion measures.
The top of the story:
Reporting from Wichita, Kan. — Out near the city's edge, where fast-food joints and subdivisions seem to spring from farmland overnight, the casualties of an unfinished war sit untouched in a doctor's basement.
Dr. Mila Means, a 55-year-old solo family practitioner with neon red hair and neo-hippie style, doesn't remember how or when she heard that Dr. George Tiller had been gunned down in his church.
She knew him only slightly as their paths crossed in medical circles. Mostly, she knew of him — as the lone abortion provider in a city of nearly 400,000, as a symbol of the country's abortion wars.
After his killing on May 31, 2009, the decision to step into his place did not come as an epiphany but rather over time, with sad reluctance.
The general tenor of the story (read: fawning) aside, I wish the Times had, at least, dealt with the religion ghosts that haunt this report.
The story only vaguely addresses the background and motivation of Means:
In summer 2010, Means began going each weekend to Kansas City, Kan., to learn first trimester abortion procedure. She approached Jeanne Tiller about buying her late husband's equipment. It cost $20,000, which cut deeply into her practice's meager budget. She remembers how creepy it felt to walk through Tiller's boarded up clinic shadowed by his widow's bodyguard.
The decision marked a full circle for Means, who grew up in Wichita with parents who supported abortion rights. In her 20s, though, she joined a fundamentalist church with a rigid antiabortion stance. Her own beliefs were more ambivalent.
Forgive me for not wanting to take the Times' word for it, but I'd love to know more about this "fundamentalist" church with the "rigid" anti-abortion stance. By whose definition is it fundamentalist? By whose definition is its abortion stance rigid?
At the same time, the paper fails to quantify Means' own beliefs — then or now — in any concrete way.
Readers do learn this:
She once applied as medical director of a pregnancy crisis center that talked women out of abortion but said she did not get the job because she could not agree that abortion was never justified. She now sees that time in her life as a passing phase before her politics drifted left.
That's the full extent of the reporting on Means' thinking. As a result, the story ends up reading like a hollow puff piece. Did anyone think to ask how her religious views changed, from her days as a would-be crisis pregnancy center worker until today?

Ireland Military Records
Ireland Military Records
- Further information: British Military Records
The regular army and the navy constituted the major branches of the British military. Militia (part-time units for local defense), fencibles (full-time units for local defense), yeomanry (volunteer calvary units), territorial armies (units raised outside the British Isles for foreign service), coast guard (units that patrol British shores), and royal marines (troop units on ships) were also armed forces. Each of these services kept its own records.
Military officers were typically from the upper classes and soldiers were from among the poor. Compulsory draft was seldom used, except by the militia. The officers of each parish decided who would serve in the militia.
You may find evidence that your ancestor served in the military in family records, biographies, censuses, probates, civil registrations, or church records.
Military records are potentially of great genealogical value. But they are difficult to use because few are indexed and many are only available at the Public Record Office, Kew at the National Archives. Civil registration, census, or church records, if available, are easier records to use. Still, military records sometimes provide information that is not found in any other source. Search the easier records first; they will often provide information that will then help you search military records.
The Family History Library has many military records, but these are only a small part of the military records available. You may want to hire a researcher to search military records that are not available at the Family History Library.
Pre-1914 Records
Pre-1914 military records are kept in the Public Record Office, Kew and are divided into army and navy records.
Army Records. The army began as a permanent organization in 1660. Earlier armies were raised as needed, usually as county militia units directed by the county's lord lieutenant. For information on pre-1660 military records, see the handbooks described below.
Pre-1847 British army service was generally for life. Some soldiers were discharged early for disability (liberally defined) or age (often by age 40).
Army records before 1872 are organized by regiment. Records from 1872 through 1882 are arranged alphabetically by type of troop (calvary, infantry, etc.). Post-1882 records are arranged in a single alphabetical series.
Ffolliott, Rosemary. Some Irish Militia Movements During the Napoleonic Wars. The movement of different Irish Militia, from 1793-1816. Extracted from the Church of Ireland registers and Sir Henry MacAnally's work, The Irish Militia 1793-1816. Article found in The Irish Ancestor, vol.1 no.2, 1969, pages 109-114, Family History Library Ref. 941.5 B2i also held at the National Library of Ireland.
Quinlivan, Patrick. Father Benard's Register and the Irish Militia in Essex. Article is Father Benard's Register of the Irish Militia in Essex, also register of baptisms 1812-1817 kept at Church of St. James-the-less, Priory St. Colchester. Also a list of references of the Irish Militia from the Suffolk Chronicle and Ipswich Journal 1812-1814. Article is in The Irish Ancestor vol.

Gives name, ship on which he arrived in India, branch of service, Country of origin, the Corps each soldier was serving in, and date of enlistment. Article in The Irish Ancestor, vol. XVI, no. 1. pages 45-53. FHL Ref. 941.5 B2i
Navy Records. The earliest surviving navy records are from 1617. Ships' logs survive from 1673, but usually only give information on ship location, weather, sightings of other ships, and shipboard events. While descriptions of shipboard events often include individual names, no indexes exist to help locate these names.
Until 1853, naval enlistment was informal and lasted for the ship's commission, usually three years. Seamen often alternated between the navy and the merchant marines. After 1853, seamen enlisted for the duration of their careers.
Before 1853, individual seamen (called ratings) were not mentioned in navy records other than musters, description books, or pay lists unless they deserted, misbehaved, or earned a medal.
Individual military units (regiments for the army, ships for the navy) kept records on their own personnel.
Officers in the Navy have received Admiralty Passing Certificates 1691-1902. Public Record Office/National Archives England. Family History Library Catalog

Types of Military Records
Before you can use navy records or pre-1872 army records, you must determine the specific ship or regiment in which your ancestor served. "Strategies for Using Army and Navy Records" below will help you accomplish that. Once you know your ancestor's ship or regiment, several types of military records may help you learn about your ancestor's age, birthplace, and military career. A few of these record types are described below. Others are described in the British Military Records article. As you search these records, be cautious in accepting the accuracy of the information you find. To enlist, underage boys may have lied about their name, age, and sometimes birthplace.
Muster Rolls. Muster rolls usually list individuals assigned to a ship or regiment on a given day, their ages (on joining), the date and place they joined, and possibly other information, such as their birthplaces (in sea musters since 1770) and dependents (in later army musters). Army musters exist for the years 1760-1878, navy musters for 1667-1878. Musters are held at the Public Record Office, Kew at National Archives. Chaplain's Returns and Regimental Registers. Chaplain's returns (1760-1971) list the baptisms, marriages, and burials of soldiers and their family members performed abroad by military chaplains. Regimental registers (1790-1924) contain birth, marriage, and death records by regiment for families of officers and enlisted men. Birth and baptism records are indexed. Chaplain's returns and regimental registers are available only by correspondence with the General Register Office.
- The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers was an Irish infantry regiment of the British Army formed in 1881 by the amalgamation of the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot and the 108th Regiment of Foot (Madras Infantry). Wikipedia provides some additional information on this regiment.
- The Inniskillings Museum may also be able to assist in tracing a relative from this regiment.
'Lists of Officers. Published annually, lists of officers provide an officer's name, rank, regiment or ship, and date of commission. For the army, the published version of these records is:'
Great Britain, War Office. Army List. London, England: various publishers, 1754-. (Family History Library book 942 M25g; film 856424-52.) Volumes from 1765 on include indexes.
The published list of naval officers is:
Great Britain, Admirality. Navy List. London, England: various publishers. 1814-. (Family History Librarybook 942 M25gba; film 918928-41 and 990323-26.) The fully indexed Navy List names all commissioned officers, including masters, pursers, surgeons, chaplains, yard officers, coast guardsmen, and reservists who have served in the navy from 1814 to the present.
Continuous Service Engagement Books. Continuous service engagement books record the continuous service numbers assigned to navy ratings (seamen) since 1853. The records give the name, birth date, birthplace, physical description, and ship of service of each rating. Brief career details were later included as well. From 1872 to 1892, merchant seamen were also listed in these records.
Other Records. Other military records include description books; returns of service; and records of pensions, payrolls, promotions, medals, casualties, court martials, service, and desertions. These and other types of military records are explained in the handbooks at the end of this section.
Records of military service are at the Public Record Office, Kew. Some of the Public Record Office's military records as well as military records of various other repositories throughout Ireland and England are listed in:
Hayes, Richard J. Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilization. (Family History Library book Ref 941.5 A5h.) Look under the subject index headings "Army," "Navy," "Military," and "Militia." Additional military documents may be found in private collections.
For more information on military records at the Public Record Office, see the Bevan and Duncan or Kew Lists handbooks listed at the end of this section.
It is difficult to locate information about your ancestor in military records without knowing the unit (ship or regiment) in which your ancestor served. If you do not know the ship or regiment already, you may find that information in other records, such as census, church, or family records.
You might find the following strategies helpful for finding your ancestor's ship or regiment:
Soldiers. If your ancestor was a soldier and he married, died, or had children after 1760 while in the army, he and the regiment to which he belonged may be listed in chaplain's returns or regimental registers. If you cannot identify your ancestor's regiment through these records, the sources you should search to determine his regiment will depend on what you know about your ancestor. If you know:
- The place and approximate date (1) of a campaign or battle in which your ancestor fought, (2) of one of his stations, or (3) that his wife gave birth while he was in the service, use:
John M. Kitzmiller II, "In Search of the Forlorn Hope," 2 vols. (Salt Lake City, Utah: Manuscript Publishing Foundation, 1988; Family History Library book Ref 942 M2kj) to determine the regiment(s) that were stationed in that place at that time.
- The area where your ancestor lived during his late teens, use the handbooks below or regimental histories to determine which regiments were recruited in that area. Regimental histories available at the Family History Library are listed in the Place Search of the catalog under:
For the place he died after receiving an army pension, search the district pension returns for that area.
If your ancestor was in the army in 1806, you may wish to search the return of all men (except commissioned officers) in army service as of 24 June 1806. While the 1806 return is indexed only by regiment, it is more complete and easier to search than other army records.
Army Officers. You can usually find records for army officers in the Army List. If your ancestor does not appear in the Army List for the right time period, consult the card index to officers which is available only at the Public Record Office, Kew. You may write the Public Record Office, Kew with the information you do know to obtain information from this card index.
If your officer ancestor was living during 1828 or 1829, check the indexed returns of service (see the British Military Records article).
Generally, there are separate records for staff officers, medical officers (surgeons), Commissariat officers, chaplains, Board of Ordnance officers (artillerymen, engineers, sappers, miners, artificers, and others), and other officers. Board of Ordnance officers may be included in the Army List, even though they kept their own records until 1855. All these officer records are held at the Public Record Office, Kew.
If you cannot find an officer's record for your ancestor after consulting the sources mentioned, follow the search strategies for soldiers.
If you think you have found the regiment in which your ancestor served, military histories may help confirm your findings. Most regiments have published histories that record the places where they served and the battles they fought. You can compare the information you know about your ancestor with the history of the regiment to determine whether your ancestor could have served in that regiment. A bibliography of regimental histories is:
White, Arthur S., comp. A Bibliography of Regimental Histories of the British Army. Dallington, East Sussex, England: Naval and Military Press Ltd., 1992. (Family History Library book 942 M23was.)
Many military and regimental histories are listed in the Place Search of the catalog under:
Seamen. Navy records seldom mention individual seamen before 1853. If your ancestor served in the navy after 1853, search the index to continuous service engagement books. If he served before 1853, search the muster rolls, description books, or pay lists of the ship on which he served. If you do not know your ancestor's ship, the source you should search to determine the ship will depend on what you know about your ancestor. If you know:
- A port where your ancestor landed on a specific date, search the list books (Rodger, N. A. M., Naval Records for Genealogists [Family History Library book 942 A5p]), which provide a geographically arranged list of the ports where ships were located on certain dates. These books are available from 1673 on and are held at the Public Records Office, Kew.
- A battle or campaign in which your ancestor was involved, search medal rolls, also held at the Public Record Office, Kew.
- Your ancestor was onboard ship in 1861, search the 1861 Surname Index to Persons on Ships at Sea or in Port (Salt Lake City, Utah: Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1988; fiche 6025598).
- Your ancestor was onboard ship in 1881, search the Surname Index to the 1881 Census of the Royal Navy (Family History Library fiche 6086362).
- The name of an officer serving with your ancestor, search the Navy List to determine the ship on which that officer served.
Naval Officers. Naval officers who served from 1695 to 1742 are listed in the following work:
Young, D. H. W., comp.Index to Commission and Warrant Books of the Admirality of Great Britain and Ireland, 1695-1742. London, England: Public Record Office, 1958-59; Family History Library film 824516-17.) This index gives the officer's date of commission and a reference to additional information held at the Public Record Office, Kew.
Many officers are listed in published biographies, such as the following:
The Commissioned Sea Officers of the Royal Navy, 1660-1815. 3 vols. Typescript. Reduplication by Great Britain, Admiralty, 1954. (Family History Library book 942 M23cs; film 908026-27.)
For seamen serving as midshipmen (potential officers) between 1799 and 1854, the Midshipmen's Papers list birth dates and places and parents' names.
If your naval ancestor is not listed in any of the above sources, consult:
Rodger, N. A. M., Naval Records for Genealogists. (Family History Library book 942 A5p.) This book provides other records or strategies you may use.
Many sources, list and describe naval ships and give the dates and places they were in service. One example is:
Colledge, James J. Ships of the Royal Navy. Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 1987. (Family History Library book Ref 942 M3c.)
Use sources such as the above to learn more about ships on which you think your ancestor served to determine whether your ancestor could have been on those ships. Other naval histories are listed in the Place Search of the catalog under:
