Annual Mean Water Isotope (d18O) Record for the "DSS" Law Dome Ice CoreEntry ID: LD2012-d18O-Native-age
Abstract: The LD2012-d18O-Native-age record is the annual mean water isotope (d18O) record for the "DSS" (Dome Summit South) Law Dome ice core with extensions (e.g. As described in van Ommen et al., Nature Geoscience, 2010) from overlapping ice cores which are dated by comparing multiple chemical species as well as water isotopes. LD2012-d18O-Native-age record spans 2007 A.D. to 174 A.D. The d18O measurements were completed using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers.

The Bug "Kill Them / Louder" (2013)
California is the destination of two of the four stops on the current extremely limited North American tour - tagged as Built By Meanred - by The Bug (aka prolific Dubstep and other electronic genres producer Kevin Martin) alongside Daddy Freddy and Miss Red who were up in Montreal performing last night and are playing San Francisco tonight (Thursday March 21st) and Los Angeles tomorrow (Friday March 22nd) before flying cross country to play NYC on Saturday night (March 23rd). The venues are Public Works, San Francisco, Club Los Globos in Los Angeles where Ras-G will join the lineup, and Le Poisson Rouge in New York where Jubilee and Fantasy Thrilla will also perform.
The last minute announced select US dates by the extremely prolific artist, whose discography spans such labels as Ninja Tune, Virgin, Rephlex, Position Chrome/Mille Plateaux, Word Sound, Hyperdub, City Slang, Tigerbeat 6, and Grand Royal, will likely sell out so don't wait to buy tickets at the door. Buy them in advance for SF here, LA here, and NYC here. The short tour is a kind of teaser for the forthcoming new EP and new full length from The Bug. The EP, which will be a double 10" release entitled Filthy, will drop on Ninja Tune on May 28 ("Kill Them / Louder" is from that release) while the follow up album - also on Ninja Tune, to be titled Angels and Devils, will drop later in the year and feature an impressive and diverse guest list including Death Grips, Daddy Freddy, Grouper, Ganja Sufi, Burro Banton, Inga Copeland, and Danny Brown.

I believe one of the least used resources for genealogy research is the local library. No, it may not have books, microfilms, or documents that will help you. However, most of them have computers.
Yes, I know. We have computers at home. But did you know that most of them have subscriptions to ancestry.com? And it's FREE!! For use in the library. Some libraries even have subscriptions to obituaries, footnote and other sites. And don't forget Heritage Quest.
Also, don't forget the local Family History Centers. Because they are staffed by volunteers, the hours vary. These FHCs often have ancestry.com as well as other subscription sites. Some of them have 5 or 6 different sites. You can use the computers for free and check out the options. Then, either continue to use this valuable resource, or decide to pay for one or two so that you can stay at home. But this is a great way to learn about more and different online resources.

Gattis does it again: 2 HRs, 5 RBIs in Astros 13-5 win
By MICHAEL WAGAMAN
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) With the two best games of his career coming on consecutive days, designated hitter Evan Gattis has quickly transformed into the Astros' hottest hitter - and their current good luck charm.
He's got a franchise record to prove it, too.
Gattis hit two home runs, including the first of back-to-back shots with Marwin Gonzalez during a seven-run second inning, and the streaking Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 13-5 on Wednesday night for their seventh straight win.
One night after homering and setting a career high with five RBIs, Gattis drove in five again, becoming the first player in franchise history to drive in five in consecutive games.
"It was fun to watch our guys respond to his continued damage at-bats," Houston manager AJ Hinch said. "They're taking his helmet off and rubbing it all over themselves and they're trying to get as close to him as they can. They want whatever he's eating, whatever he's doing during the games."
Jake Marisnick also homered, Carlos Correa had a two-run triple and Yuli Gurriel had three hits and three RBIs to help Gerrit Cole (8-1) win his sixth straight decision.
Gattis had a sacrifice fly in the first inning, hit a three-run home run off A's starter Paul Blackburn (1-1) in the second then went deep again with a solo blast off Emilio Pagan in the seventh. Gattis also walked in the eighth.
"He's white hot," Cole said. "Just a great approach right now. He's obviously put the team on his back a little bit."
Gattis' 10 RBIs in two games also ties an Astros record, but the big slugger wouldn't say he's necessarily locked in at the plate.
"It never feels like it," Gattis said. "You're about to go hit a ball with a stick and you're going to get out 70 percent of the time. You have to enjoy the good stuff if you're going to get mad about the negatives in the game."
Cole allowed a season-high four runs over six uneven innings, including two home runs, but benefited from the early cushion. The AL leader in strikeouts fanned six and yielded six hits with two walks.
That gives Houston three eight-game winners - Cole, Thursday's starter Justin Verlander (8-2) and Tuesday's winner Lance McCullers (8-3).
"Some undesirable results a couple times," Cole said. "Fastball command wasn't poor but it wasn't as sharp."
The defending World Series champs moved a season-high 19 games over .500. This is Houston's longest winning streak since taking seven in a row from Aug. 31-Sept. 6, 2017.
Oakland outfielder Jake Smolinski became the first A's position player to pitch in a game since utility player Tyler Ladendorf on June 3, 2016. Smolinski allowed a leadoff double to Max Stassi and a two-run home run to Marisnick in the ninth, then retired the next three batters.
"The one thing you really want is don't get hurt and throw the ball over the middle of the plate, and he did exactly that," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He was up for it. He's up for just about anything."
Khris Davis homered twice for Oakland, his 18th and 19th of the season. Stephen Piscotty also went deep.
The Astros flexed their defensive muscle in the eighth after Matt Olson reached on an error. Marisnick made a leaping catch in center to rob Matt Chapman of a home run, then threw to second baseman Tony Kemp, who relayed to first to double up Olson.
Blackburn retired only four batters and allowed eight runs before departing in the second.
Athletics: Chapman made another handful of stellar defensive plays at third base, one night after getting hit in the left hand by a 92.3 mph fastball from Astros reliever Collin McHugh.
Verlander (8-2, 2.58 ERA) makes his 15th start in the series finale for Houston on Thursday. Among qualifying pitchers, Verlander leads the majors in ERA and is second in innings pitched (93 1/3) and third in strikeouts (113). Right-hander Frankie Montas (3-0, 1.25) goes for Oakland.

Five Best Airlines For Foodby Janice Wald Henderson CruiseMates Culinary Editor | 08.22.12
Foreign carriers have long bested American airlines for quality cuisine and beverage service.
Singapore Prawn on Singapore Airlines If you could choose between one long-haul carrier offering the usual greasy deflated cheese omelet, and another serving scrambled-to-order free-range eggs and toast with honey harvested with its own bees, which would you pick?
I don't suggest picking an airline for its cuisine, but if there's a choice of carriers serving your cruise departure port at the same price point, why not select one featuring top-flight (pardon the pun) food service? Sad but true, foreign carriers have long bested American airlines for quality cuisine and beverage service. Recently, several such long-haul carries have upped the ante.
Take Etihad Airways. The national airline of the United Arab Emirates is pioneering a new concept; taking farm-to-table (as restaurants do) to the skies with farm-to-flight. The airline has purchased 200 hens, raised free-range at Abu Dhabi Organic Farms. Etihad has also purchased three beehives. The eggs and honey produced from the airline's hens and bees are served exclusively to Etihad passengers and used in an array of dishes, including eggs, any style, as a breakfast option. Etihad is currently developing a line of signature pickles, made from organic ingredients. Who knows what else this innovative carrier will introduce to make culinary news?
Although, like all airlines, most culinary attention on Etihad is lavished on business and first-class travelers, economy flyers make out better than most. Back-of-busers can select from three entrees, and are served warm dessert and wines, spirits and beer. Cappuccino and espresso are also offered - a rarity for coach class. Etihad even provides economy class guests surprise treats mid-route, such as ice cream or popcorn. (etihadairways.com)
Have you tried the food on foreign airlines? Tell us here: Cruise Cuisine Forum
British Airways - which flies to may corners of the cruise globe - recently unveiled Height Cuisine to its passengers. London-based Heston Blumenthal, one of the world's most acclaimed chefs, worked with BA to revamp its onboard cuisine, taking into account the lost of taste and sensory connections at 35,000 feet. The subsequent new menus introduce many umami-rich foods.
If you're a foodie, you're probably familiar with this now-buzzy term. Umami is considered the "fifth taste" (beyond salty, sweet, sour, bitter) and is found in foods like seaweed, walnuts, parmesan cheese, pickles and dried mushrooms.
Such pronounced flavors better offset that taste loss in the skies. BA also works with a renowned Scottish seafood company for its fresh fish on flights departing the United Kingdom. On one flight, I sampled an excellent Scottish salmon in rich broth. The airline even serves afternoon tea with freshly made flaky scones, clotted cream and English jam in premium classes.
Club World (business class) flyers love raiding the pantry. It's stocked with snacks, from healthy nibbles like whole wheat wraps and fresh fruit, to artisan British treats such as handmade shortbread from Teoni (a bakery in Devon, England) and, naturally, beloved Cadbury chocolate.
Cruisers headed on Asian sails (Hong Kong voyages) should consider Cathay Pacific Airways. The airline scores high marks for its menus, which feature both Asian and Western dishes in all classes. Premium seat flyers are treated to free-range organic scrambled eggs, cooked-to-order in skillets. Yes, this airline stocks fry pans, toasters and even rice cookers. Talk about fluffy rice in the skies.
Full meal on Cathay Pacific Airlines
Premium seat buyers may see a menu of signature dishes from Hong Kong's red-hot restaurants du jour, like superstar chef Gray Kunz's Michelin-starred Café Gray Deluxe. Special meals are no problem; everyone from raw foodists to Hindus have good options. And everyone gets Chinese tea before bedtime. (cathaypacific.com)
Singapore Airlines (perfect for Singapore-based cruises) wins lots of awards, many for its cuisine. This carrier is passionate about food; it even created a test kitchen built specifically to copy the galley conditions in an air-pressurized cabin.
Singapore turns to its International Culinary Panel for imaginative fare, comprised of superstars like Suzanne Goin of Los Angeles' Lucques and Tavern, and George Blanc of his eponymous Michelin three-star restaurant in southeast France. Coach meals may be less lavish than business and first-class and suite repasts (those folk may nibble malossol caviar, choose from nine types of bread and sip Krug champagne), but economy menus include sophisticated appetizers, cheese plate and Asian and Western teas. (singaporeair.com)
Turkish Airlines actually has a "flying chef" onboard each flight. The chef is dressed in immaculate whites - even a toque - and greets every passenger at the plane door. Turkish Airlines is one of the few carriers that you can sit in any class and inhale delicious aromas. It's a yummy choice for getting to any Eastern Mediterrean cruise.
The flying chef is responsible for all in-flight meals but his focus is on premium classes. Still, no matter your seat the Turkish and western-style cuisine is fresh, plentiful and tasty. The food also looks terrific; fresh herb garnishes - such as fresh-picked rosemary sprigs - are standard. Keep this airline in mind for Eastern Mediterranean cruises. So many depart from istanbul. (turkishairlines.com)
While I lament the cuisine on all America carriers, I do have some good news to report. Delta Airlines is launching a new "Delta Winemaker Series" on every transcontinental flight beginning September 1, 2012. (Delta offers many flights to the East Coast which connect to planes heading to Europe and beyond.)
Passengers flying between New York City and Los Angeles or San Francisco can experience selections from six leading Los Angeles and San Francisco-area winemakers.
The program was curated by Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson, the airline's exclusive sommelier and one of only 18 women worldwide to earn this credential. Robinson has serious cred; she authored four books and has hosted several television programs.
This famous sommelier has made outstanding new choices for BusinessElite class flights. Two of the Wine Country's leading winemakers, Heidi Peterson-Barrett (La Sirena) and Merry Edwards of her namesake winery are showcasing signature wines. Other wine world stars include Dave Minor, proprietor and vintner of the Minor Family Winery, who is featuring a Viognier (aromatic white wine known for its floral notes).
BTW, the food may be improving, too. Celebrity chef Michael Chiarello (Food Network, Fine Living Network) consults on the menus. The Napa-based chef (Bottega Restaurant, Yountville) is known for his Italian flavors blended with a California twist.
Let's hope other American carriers display some initiative and showcase our best chefs (not just signing them to consultant status, but actually putting them to work in test kitchens) and start highlighting more artisan wines.

Hi Folks,
I'm hoping someone might be able to answer something that has been confusing me lately.
Basically, I have harvested a lot of RNA from iMR90 and U2OS cells over the last two or three months using Trizol extraction, which I then clean up using a Qiagen RNeasy mini kit.
My problem is, that for one particular experiment, all of the RNA I get seems to have a low A260/230 ratio on the nanodrop which I've heard is a result of phenol contamination or some other contaminant. The problem is, that when I clean up RNA from several experiments together, it's only ever this one experiment which gives low A260/230 ratios so it's not likely a problem caused during the clean up.
The only thing I can think of that is different is that these samples had been isolated in Trizol, and then stored at -80oC for a few weeks longer than the rest.
Would this cause this kind of absorbance value? I'm not doing microarrays with the RNA and I don't seem to have a problem with making cDNA for q-PCR so it's more of a curiosity than a burning issue I need resolved. Any input or advice would definitely be appreciated though!
Thanks in advance for your help/opinions,
This post has been promoted to an article

Okeanos is a portrait of the ocean as body, environment, resource, metaphor, and force.
It inspires and educates audiences about the ocean and ocean conservation.
About Okeanos
The Impetus
Covering 99% of Earth's living space, the ocean is by turns fascinating and terrifying and an integral part of our lives. Yet this essential resource is being destroyed by growing human demands. Coral extinction, plastic trash contamination, over-fishing, oil spills, climate change - our immense impact on the ocean is undeniable. What once felt vast, endless, and overwhelmingly deep is now vulnerable to our increasingly destructive ways of living.
The Process and Performers
Inspired by the Coral Triangle and California's Kelp forest, Okeanos was developed in collaboration with world-renowned marine biologists and oceanographers. This dance/cirque performance incorporates choreography, apparatus, and set design by Capacitor Artistic Director Jodi Lomask and the voices of Dr. Sylvia Earle and Dr. Tierney Thys. Okeanos includes video art by RJ Muna and Toshi Hoo, underwater cinematography by David Hannan, sound composition by EO, Kaya Project, Beats Antique, edIT, and Tipper, vocalizations by Anka Draugelates, violin by Julia Ogrydziak, and costumes by Kimie Sako & Becky Karthage.
The Experience
Capacitor created a 60-minute performance that gives audiences a sensory experience of the ocean and continues to develop its blueprint for art/science collaboration. Okeanos features the distinctive artistic and technical components that Capacitor has come to be known for – inventive and articulated dance vocabulary, abstract steel forms that mirror nature, poetic integration of audio/video/media forms, sculptural costumes, scientifically supported content, and conservation partnerships.
Educational Program

text: So the wife and I and our 4 month old baby were feeling adventurous and headed down to the Virgin Islands for a week. I haven't ridden a decent wave in "who-the-f#$k knows" how long, and so I was reasonably stoked to see that the lakey shores of USVI might actually get some surf during our visit. I picked a beater board and packed it. The plan was to bring it, then leave it to some grom or whatever at the end of the week to avoid the airline fee on our return trip. Anyhow, they charged $150 bucks, which is the most I've ever paid BY A LOT! Normally I used to flirt with the ladies at the check-in table and sweet talk my way to a discount. Married life is different. That is no longer an acceptable method, so I sucked it up and gave her my credit card. We board the plane, go to Miami, sit around for 4 hours, change some diapers, yada yada yada, and finally find ourselves in St. Thomas two hours later than expected. We are a 30 minute drive from the hotel, and the front desk had informed us they will be closing up shop in 40 minutes. We dash to the rental car desk, ready to claim our SUV w/roof rack. Again, I used to rent the Geo Metro, but parenting life is much different. We needed the space. So. The geniuses at Budget lost (or ignored) our reservation, and so we got a Ford Focus with no roof rack. Little guy is screaming, my wife is pleading with me to hurry the crap up, and I am standing there with my board bag wondering what the hell to do. With literal tears forming in my eyes, I put the board bag behind a bush, wave goodbye, and get in the car and realize it's no surf for me. The next day we drive up to Cinnamon Bay on St. John and see perfect f#[email protected] left's grinding across the reef, and I am torn between feeling excited and wanting to swim back to the other island so I can murder the idiots at Budget Car Rental. But, it's also our one-year anniversary, so I have to suck it up and smile...which is not terribly difficult, especially when you have an awesome wife and rad little boy, but part of me was soooooo damn depressed. I went to Panama in May 2011, and that is the last time I surfed a head-high wave. Anyhow, I shared this story because... 1. Hopefully it's at least a little bit funny. Feel free to laugh at my sh!tty deal, it's totally cool with me. 2. I guess I'm also hoping some other dad's here have some hopeful advice or encouragement. Aloha!

LONDON — For just a moment, the miracle looked possible.
The start signal hadn't sounded, but the prohibitivefavourite to win the men's 1,500-metre freestyle race, China's Sun Yang, wasgone from his block and in the water.
And Ryan Cochrane, who'd had only a faint hope of a goldmedal coming in, must have thought: wait a minute. False start? Does this mean...?
His whole country was surely thinking it.
"I was so scared," the 20-year-old Chinese said later."It was all black before my eyes."
Cochrane, though, said he wasn't making any assumptions.
"I kind of assumed he wouldn't be out, just because ofthe way he went into the water, but I was kind of surprised how quickly theygot us back on the blocks," the 23-year-old from Victoria said Saturday night,after swimming the race of his life to hold off Beijing Olympic championOussama Mellouli and win the silver medal behind the world-record swim of theuntouchable Sun.
The referee, it seems, had asked the crowd to be quietafter the swimmers had taken their mark, and Sun toppled off the block.
"It is what it is. We prepare for anything," Cochranesaid. "[Sun] was pretty pissed off by it, I think, but it's such a little thingin the grand scheme, and it's going to be 15 minutes of pain no matter what, so... he got his feet wet first."
There was no raining on Cochrane's mood after his silvermade it a Super Saturday for Canada — a gold-silver-bronze day that bumped theteam's medal count to 10, for 11th-place in the total medals table.
"This is the happiest I've been after any race in mycareer," he said. "I was just so thankful to know that there's nothing else Icould have done."
Truly Yang — who also won the 400 metres, a silver at 200and a bronze in the 4x200 relay — left in a hurry and never looked back.Cochrane hung with him for a while, but eventually settled into a second-placerace with Korea's Park Taehwan, shed him about the halfway mark, and thenhunkered down for the grim battle to deny Mellouli.
With 100 metres left, it looked as though the Tunisianmight catch him, but Cochrane reached into his reserves and sprinted home in aCanadian record of 14 minutes, 39.63 seconds — less than 7/10ths of a secondahead of Mellouli, but well behind Sun, whose 14:31 beat his own world recordby more than three seconds.
"It was a tough fight the last 100 metres, but I alsoknew the first half felt so good that I was going to have some stuff left inthe tank," said Cochrane. "When [Mellouli] passed me in Beijing, I wasn'texpecting it. This time, I was going to fight probably to the death to makesure he didn't get ahead of me.
"But I did have memories of what it was like in Beijingwhen I was fighting for that third-place spot, so I knew I was going to have tosprint that last 50 — and that's what we train every day for.
"I knew I had to be out hard, but I didn't want to go outtoo hard and fall into a heap, I just wanted to be sure I didn't leave anythingin the pool," he said. "When I was feeling good around the 700-metre mark, Iknew it was time to test the waters every 100-150 metres, and it felt good everytime I did it, and it's nice to say, because usually it feels terrible.
"I knew, going into it, 'This is going to be anexcruciating swim.' But it wasn't like Beijing, where I hit the 1,100-metremark and I was in so much pain, I didn't even know what to do."
Cochrane's unexpected bronze in Beijing at age 19salvaged what could have been a disastrous meet for Canada. This one capped aweek that was somewhat better, with Brent Hayden's gritty bronze in the100-metre free and seven swimmers reaching finals.
But it was still the first silver medal by a Canadian inan Olympic pool since Marianne Limpert's 200-metre individual medley atAtlanta, 16 years ago, and that's hard to believe.
"It's a double-edged sword, because part of me wanted tobe five seconds faster and vying for that world record," Cochrane said.
"When I was young, I thought I could do anything, andthen the years go by and you keep on getting second place, and you think,'Maybe this is the best I can do,'" he said, having followed up his Beijingbronze with runner-up medals at the 2009 and 2011 world championships.
"And I know this was second place, too, but I'm stillprogressing — to be faster than four years ago, without the [body]suits, Ithink is fantastic."
He's been right there, all along, and that's why he wasas sure a thing as Canada had in the pool, coming in. Swimming Canada projected"two to three" medals for the London Games, but the second and third werehopes, rather than expectations. Cochrane was carrying those.
The 1,500 is about work, and mileage, and the ability tosuffer — and it's less susceptible to the vagaries of a poor start or a roughturn or two, or five. It's about stroke rate and stamina and stubborn tenacity.He had all that.
Cochrane had failed to qualify for the final of the 400metres on the opening day of this meet — a race in which he had given himselfan outside chance at a medal — "so I knew I had to go out with a bang or Iwasn't going to be happy with the whole experience," he said.
"The 400, I thought, was a lost opportunity, but there'sno point being devastated about it for days on end when you know you have yourbest race coming up. I underestimated how hard the mental side of this meetwould be. I thought with experience it would be easier; in the end it was a lotharder."

Tomorrow will mark my first significant break from Concerta. I need a refill but my doctor, who I might change due to the inconvenience of traveling to her office, is out until Thursday. So I have to call that morning to ask when I can pick it up. Hopefully, that can be Thursday afternoon. Worst case is Friday afternoon, I suppose.
Tomorrow, I expect to feel tired. And I worry that I will feel especially moody. In one sense, the best case is that I don't feel any different. But, then, that would mean that the medication isn't working. So, I have to at least feel less focused. Or maybe I'll crave dopamine and want to skydive.
The one thing I can control, though, is sleep, and I'm sleeping early tonight to feel my natural best tomorrow and be somewhat productive.

Until 10 years ago, I used to read a lot of MSDN everyday from the local .CHM file that came with the Visual Studio installation of your choice.
I still read the Web version of MSDN but I get the feeling that I am not in control because I don't know how to locate the topic I am reading again, except for bookmarking it in my browser. I would like to be able to see the entire MSDN content tree so as to get a perspective of the way content is organized.
This will also enable me to see regular columns that I might be interested in reading on a regular basis. Back in the day, I used to love reading the usability column from Scott Berkun and a few others. I would love to get back to reading MSDN with some feeling of control as to what I am reading as I still find reading the MSDN an immensely enjoyable activity.
How do I do that?

I did use Cam2PC version 4.33 to transfer some images from my Canon Ixus 430 to a computer with Windows XP Home. I made a mistake and removed the USB cable during the transfer.
The images are already deleted from the camera and they do not show up in the folder on my hard disc, in which Cam2PC normally stores my images.
Are the new images gone or is there a chance that I can find them somewhere in a temporary folder on the hard disc?
Thank you!


text: Are actresses more likely to avoid stereotypes in comedies? We know that some actresses don't think so but two of the newest casting announcements for comedies show us the two possible ends of the spectrum. Drillbit Taylor's Leslie Mann is cast to play the wife of an imprisoned man (Jim Carrey) who falls in love with his cell mate in the black comedy I Love You Philip Morris. Verdict: probably a victim/doormat. Toni Collete will star as the close friend of Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski, who play a couple looking for the best place to raise their unborn child in an untitled film. Verdict: With Sam Mendes directing and two parts of the McSweeney's machine writing, Collette will probably make out okay. [THR. THR]

James Joyce Centre
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish expatriate writer, widely considered to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. In particular, his tempestuous early relationship with the Irish Roman Catholic Church is reflected through a similar inner conflict i...read more

The Joyce Tower is one of a series of Martello Towers...read more

At Kylemore, the nuns opened their international boarding school and established a day school for local girls. They also ran a farm and guesthouse; the guesthouse was closed after a devastating fire in 1959. A section of the Abbey (the enclosure) is retained strictly for the nuns' use and is not open to the public; here the nuns devote themselves to their monastic life of prayer and work. Originally called Kylemore Castle, it was built be...read more
Molly Gallivans Cottage & Farm
At Molly Gallivan you will experience the simple lifestyle in rural Ireland before the days of electricity and modern conveniences. Molly's enchanting cottage is over 200 years old. Her farm is complete with animals, fowl and traditional farm machinery. The house is over 200 years old! Originally a single story thatched cottage, part of which still remains, it was extended, raised and slated in the early 1900s. There has been little change since then. The house as it is today was home to one of Molly's descendants until 1997. The large open hearth, where the fire rarely if ever went out, was the only energy source providing hot water, heat and cooking facilities. Molly Gallivan was widowed with seven small children Molly Gallivan had to call on all her resourcefulness ...read more
Muckross House, Gardens and Traditional Farms
This nineteenth century Victorian mansion is set against the stunning beauty of Killarney National Park. The house stands close to the shores of Muckross Lake, one of Killarney's three lakes, famed world wide for their splendour and beauty. As a focal point within Killarney National Park, Muckross House is the ideal base from which to explore this landscape. Muckross House was built for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife, the water-colourist Mary Balfour Herbert. This was actually the fourth house that successive generations of the Herbert family had occupied at Muckross over a period of almost two hundred years. William Burn, the well-known Scottish architect, was responsible for its design. Building commenced in 1839 and was completed in 1843....read more
National Gallery
The National Gallery of Ireland (Irish: Ghailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann) houses the Irish national collection of Irish and European art. It is located in the centre of Dublin with one entrance on Merrion Square, beside Leinster House, and another on Clare Street. It was founded in 1854 and opened its doors ten years later. The Gallery has an extensive, representative collection of Irish painting and is also notable for its Italian Baroque and Dutch masters painting. Entry to the gallery is free. The Gallery was unlucky not to have been founded around an existing collection, but through diligent and skilful purchase, by the time it opened it had 125 paintings, in 1866 an annual purchase grant was established and by 1891 space was already limited. In 18...read more
National Museum of Ireland
Collins Barracks could be said to be the National Museum of Ireland's largest artifact, having had a unique history all of its own in another life. It now completes the picture for the National Museum in Dublin and joins the two already famous buildings in the possession of the Museum. Collins Barracks has been completely renovated and restored to become the National Museum of Decorative Arts and History - charting Ireland's economic, social, political and military progress through the ages. Artifacts on display range from silver, ceramic and glassware pieces to weaponry, furniture, examples of folk life and costume. All of these are displayed with imagination in innovative and contemporary galleries, which entice you to go further, look harder and examine more closely. ...read more
Shaw Birthplace Museum
'Author of many plays' is the simple accolade to George Bernard Shaw on the plaque outside his birthplace. His Victorian home and early life mirrors this simplicity. The first home of the Shaw family and the renowned playwright at 33 Synge Street has been restored to its Victorian elegance and charm, and has the appearance that the family has just gone out for the afternoon. The neat terraced house is as much a celebration of Victorian Dublin domestic life as of the early years of one of Dublin's Nobel prize-winners for literature: full of the nostalgia and the atmosphere of another time.It was in this house, opened to the public in 1993, that Shaw began to gather the store of characters that would later populate his books, from the drawing-room where Mrs Shaw held ...read more
Skellig Experience
The Skellig Islands (Irish: Na Scealaga) are two small, steep and rocky islands lying about 16 km west of Bolus Head on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. They are famous for their thriving gannet and puffin populations, and for an early Christian monastery that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The smaller island is Little Skellig (Sceilig Bheag in Irish). It is closed to the public, and holds Ireland's largest and the world's second-largest Northern Gannet colony, with almost 30,000 pairs. It is about 1.5 km east of Great Skellig. Also known as Skellig Michael (Sceilig Mhichíl in Irish), Great Sceilig is the larger of the two islands, rising to over 230 m above sea level.

Private Chauffeur Tour of Ireland
Hi Stephanie
I want to thank you for helping us set up the trip to your country "IRELAND". We had a great time. Aidan Ryan our Driver was on time everyday and he was pleasure to ride with. The sights were beautiful and the bus was comfortable.
The Castle was awesome, they even upgraded us. I do wish we could have stayed there 2 days, there was a lot to see and do, and the staff was great. We saw a Sheep & Dog Demonstration on the way to Dingle it too was very good. The Hotel in Kinsale was another good place that we stayed, the rooms were very spacious and clean, everyone loved it. We were glad we switched to two days there instead of Kilkenny. We ate in town at Fishy Fishy and it was very good.
The Old Head Golf course was also very good. We teed off on time and did not have any rain until we finished. The rest of the group met us for Lunch to see the spectacular views.
We went to Jamison in Middleton, (I think that's where it was) which was excellent, they had a tour that was very enlightening and enjoyed by our whole group. One of the highlights of the trip.
Guinness on the other hand was more geared up like a factory. Too many people, too crowded (Penn State) but the beer was good...LOL
The Dublin hotel was also nice. We did the hop on hop off tour, and that was nice...(We wish that Penn state Football game was another time ...Too many rude American ....LOL) they were in town and all over the place..
The flights both ways were good. On my next visit I will bring my clubs and play a little more Golf....
I attached a picture of our group, I'm the one next to "Callan Golf Club" in Brown Shirt
Again Thanks for the Help, and I hope my short update helps you in booking future trips

In the last few weeks I've been so super busy getting the design finished for the printed The Lotus and the Artichoke vegan cookbook, I've hardly had any time to get new recipes up on the website. The good news is: The cookbook is going to print this week, and I've got another time-tested favorite recipe inspired from my travels. This one is also in the cookbook, and it's just too good not to share!
Along with the pineapple pancakes I recently posted, today's dish has always been one of my favorite culinary memories of Thailand. I ate Vegetable Pad Thai at the street carts, at nice restaurants, in back alley neighborhood restaurants, and at the simple beach resort on Koh Chang. All over Bangkok you can get street food Pad Thai a dozen different ways. I always got the vegetarian stuff, which usually had tofu and vegetables, but sometimes just vegetables. For about thirty to fifty cents I'd get a steaming bowl of noodles and veg topped with sauce, crushed peanuts, and a lime slice or two. I usually dosed it with some more hot sauce and then sat down on the sidewalk somewhere to chow down.

Keller, who hasn't played since the Week 1 blowout win over the Bills, has been besieged by a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the last four weeks. The injury marks the first time in Keller's five years in the league that he has missed a game, snapping his regular season games played streak at 65 games.
On Friday, Keller took a significant step forward in being able to play again.
"I was still limited, I took a good amount of reps," Keller said. "If I had to guess, I'd say 50 percent; 30 to 50 percent. It was good."
It was a long, grinding road to get Keller to this point.
There was frustration on the part of Keller in not being able to help his teammates, especially with the Jets losing wide receiver Santonio Holmes in Week 4 with a season ending foot injury. A target like Keller, who had a career high in receptions and receiving yards last season, could have buoyed an offense lacking playmakers without Holmes on the field. His return should help quarterback Mark Sanchez, who has struggled the last four games, and he gives the offense a legitimate target over the middle of the field.
He admits to a frustration level in not being able to help his teammates and being forced to watch from the sidelines.
With Sunday fast approaching, Keller said "I'm ready to go out there and play" and wants to put the injury ordeal behind him.
"It's one thing if you know you have a timetable, 'OK you're going to be out for five weeks' and you know that so you're going into these games knowing you're not playing," Keller said. "But each and every week when it's like 'OK, I think I'm going to go' and it comes to game time and it is like 'OK, not today.' And it's for four or five weeks, it's miserable."

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (12-33, 7-11 PBC) needed some heroics to earn a split with No. 23 Armstrong Atlantic (24-8, 9-5 PBC) on Senior Day at the Peeler Complex, taking game one 6-5 and dropping game two 10-7.
Junior Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) provided the solution as she belted a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh, propelling GC to a 6-5 game one victory. Unfortunately, the Bobcats missed out on a golden opportunity to sweep the Pirates as they dwindled away a four run seventh inning lead. They fell in game two 10-7.
In game one, rightfielder Kati Pickowitz (Keller, Texas) shined on Senior Day, as she went 2-for-3 with a run. Fellow senior Brandie Monroe (Savannah, Ga.) also went 2-for-3 with a run.
Freshman Lindsey Conway (Madison, Ga.) had a perfect game, going 3-for-3 with two RBI and a run. Classmate Chelsie Huffman (Powder Springs, Ga.) came up huge for the Bobcats in relief, going 2 2/3 strong no-hit innings. She picked up her second win of her short career.
Georgia College got out to a great start in game two, grabbing a 5-1 lead through five innings.
Much of that offensive output was provided by junior catcher Anna Parker (Columbus, Ga.), who was 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs. Monroe also went 2-for-4 in game two, driving in a pair and scoring once.
Unfortunately, the Bobcats were unable to close out the Pirates as they gave up six runs in the top of the last frame, eventually falling 10-7.
Despite the hard-luck loss, GC did pick up a big split over a nationally-ranked Peach Belt Conference (PBC) contender. The win puts the Bobcats within striking distance of the PBC Tournament heading into their final series. GC is 7-11 in PBC play, positioned in sole possession of the eighth and final playoff spot at the end of today's action.
Georgia College will head to USC Aiken for the final regular-season doubleheader Thursday, April 7 at 4 p.m. in what will ultimately determine the Bobcats postseason fate.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports andwww.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

What to work on during the Django sprint
More than 100 people around the world have signed up for Friday's Django sprint. What should you work on, given that so many other people are contributing at the same time? This document attempts to help you answer that question.
How to prepare for the sprint
- Join the #django-sprint IRC Channel.
- Read our "Contributing to Django" document.
- Install the "trunk" version of Django (aka the Django development version).
- - Create an account in our ticket system. This will allow you to claim tickets you're working on.
What to work on? The short answer
Work on whatever you like.
Our development process during the sprint will fundamentally be no different from standard Django development -- that is, contributors scratch their own itches, solve the problems they want to solve, and generally do what they want to do. The difference in the sprint, of course, is that a lot of people are going to be in more-or-less real-time contact, which makes it easier for more contributions to happen faster. (Some sprinters will be in the same physical location and the IRC channel will be available for more rapid feedback.)
What to work on? The concrete answer
See the suggestions at the bottom of this page.
What to work on? The longer answer
If you're in doubt about what to work on, consider these pieces of advice:
- Fix existing bugs, rather than adding enhancements. Bugs are cases where we know something is not working correctly or as documented. Enhancements require a bit more of a judgment call from the maintainers about whether to include the feature, and one big goal of the sprint is to try and reduce the number of open tickets by getting patches committed and tickets closed.
- Choose noncontroversial tickets. Some issues are intrinsically controversial, such as the question of how (or whether) to implement auto-escaping in templates. For the sake of your own sanity, avoid these tickets during the sprint.
- Fix old bugs. There are any number of small, annoying bugs that have hung around for a long time. Some of them have patches, but the patches need to be updated. Start with the bug low numbers, and work up until you find something that interests you.
- Zero in a particular component you're familiar/comfortable with. It's overwhelming to browse the full list of open tickets, so do yourself a favor and narrow it down by component. (Do this by selecting "Add filter" on the right side of the page.) Example components are "Documentation" or "RSS framework." The nice thing about this approach is that, once you've fixed one or two tickets, you'll get on a roll and will have learned enough about that particular component that subsequent tickets for the same component will be easier to fix.
How to handle "big" tickets
If you're going to work on a really big item, either individually or as a group, remember to respect normal practices. Post a summary of any big discussions you have to the django-developers mailing list, and leave a comment on the ticket with a link to the discussion.
Remember that not everybody is going to be online all the time, and those that are may well be busy on other things. Large changes or things requiring community input will have to go through the usual, archived channels. That being said, an online or in-person discussion can get a lot further quickly, and then you can post a more comprehensive plan and summary than normal. So there are advantages to doing some design work in a sprint setting.
Working on smaller items
The biggest contribution anybody can make during a sprint is to help confirm bug reports, write patches, review proposed solutions and help get the tickets closed.
Pick an area you're interested in or want to learn more about. The general procedure is choose a ticket, replicate the problem, write a test, write a fix, go back to start.
- Search for tickets in that component in Trac (one of the search filters is on the component type).
- Read through the ticket titles until you find something interesting and try to replicate the bug.
- Once you've found a ticket that interests you, claim it, so that somebody else doesn't accidentally duplicate the work.
- If possible, write a test to duplicate the problem. Django's tests are in the
tests/directory, and we have some documentation about them. Copy existing tests as a start. If possible, look for an appropriate file to add your new test to, rather than starting a new file. But if you are working on a totally untested area, start a new file.
- Write a patch, whether that is code or documentation to fix the problem.
- Attach the patch to the ticket.
If your patch is more than a few lines long, don't forget to include your name in the AUTHORS file as part of the patch. We order that file alphabetically by surname.
You might want to search for tickets that have the patch needs improvement flag set and try to improve the patch (there will be something in the comments suggesting what improvement is needed). Or look for tickets with needs tests or needs documentation and try to fill in those gaps.
Don't worry if it takes you longer than other people to write fixes initially. Some areas are genuinely harder than others. Some problems are disguised versions of something much bigger, so it might take a couple of attempts to get something that satisfies the maintainers. Not to worry; any serious patch is better than no patch because it gives us something to start from and incrementally improve.
Things for people not confident squishing bugs
If you're not confident fixing bugs in the core code, there are still other ways to contribute:
- Triage the unreviewed tickets -- try to confirm them, or handle them according to the triage guidelines.
- Confirm existing bugs or work out how to repeat them.
- Look for tickets in the unreviewed state and see if you can repeat the problem.
- If the explanation of the bug isn't clear, work out what the reporter is talking about and add that in a comment on the original ticket.
- Look for tickets needing documentation or needing improved documentation and try to complete them.
Areas requiring caution
There are a few areas in Django that are undergoing some fairly major change. Have care if you are wanting to work in the following areas.
Admin interface
Joseph Kocherhans is leading the charge to finish the NewformsAdminBranch, which will replace the existing admin code as soon as possible.
Consequently, any tickets against the existing admin code that are not real showstoppers and having small impact are unlikely to be applied. We would rather develop the same patch against newforms-admin and fix the problem permanently over there.
By all means, pick some admin tickets to work on. However, read the ticket and try to repeat the problem on newforms-admin. Then write a patch against that branch, rather than trunk.
Database query construction
There are a lot of tickets concerning bad SQL constructs from the ORM. Malcolm Tredinnick is working in the QuerysetRefactorBranch to fix a lot of these. Right now, that branch is not in a usable state for any serious code; large pieces remain to be ported.
Any tickets having to do with SQL constructs will generally be fixed in that branch and merged into trunk. Malcolm has been putting the qs-rf keyword on tickets that are of this nature. The qs-rf-fixed keyword is being used for tickets that are fixed on that branch (eventually, all qs-rf tickets will move to qs-rf-fixed).
If you come across a ticket that looks like a QuerySet problem and has to do with SQL construction, add that keyword.
So you've joined the sprint and don't know where to start? Try one of these tasks!
- Whilst working on a task, assign it to yourself so other people know that it's yours.
- If you complete a task, edit this page and remove the task
- If you make progress on a task and then leave it, edit this page leaving a note of what you've done.

Lean, green cuisines
Most Southeast Texans would probably agree with columnist Doug Larson's comment that "life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon."
However, they just might settle for a fresh, raw, green vegetable drink that tastes like lemonade.
Those looking for lighter, leaner lunch fare (to slim down before Spring Break, perhaps?) will find that Basic Foods offers healthy, organic, ready-made meals that – wait for it – taste great. That includes the magical green lemonade pictured here, teeming with vitamins, antioxidants and everything else good for you, offering an easy mid-day energy boost.
"We're all about helping to put good nutrition into your body," said general partner Maryann Smith. "We try to focus on some of the dietary needs of people."
Basic Foods offers everything from dairy-free ice cream and cheese to gluten-free pasta and fresh baked goods; for those who prefer a vegetarian or vegan diet, the store carries several meatless meats and vegan products, as well as an array of diet-friendly lunch options including chicken salad, tuna salad, spinach salad with roasted chicken breast, Greek salad, salad, salad, salad … I haven't lost you, have I?Because Basic Foods isn't just a special store for special diets. They've got meatloaf, made with grass-fed, hormone-free beef. Sure, there's a difference in the taste, but in a good way.
"You're getting a healthier diet here, whether it's raw, or grass-fed beef or the sandwiches that we prepare without preservatives," Smith explained. "When it comes to the ingredients, you've got to be asking — if you can't identify it, how is your body going to deal with it?"A surprisingly diet-friendly, delicious and filling selection also available in the cooler is the raw dishes. While the word "raw" may seem a little off-putting when you're scrambling for a quick lunch, consider this — nuts, fruits and vegetables are considered raw at 108 degrees, so food can be heated to a point that it's more manageable for preparation.
Intrigued by this, The Examiner had the privilege of tasting several raw dishes that Basic Foods serves in its deli, including a filling dish of "spaghetti and meatballs," which is in fact a delicious tomato sauce poured over zucchini strings, topped with seasoned balls of pecan pâté — no really. It was lean, filling and incredible.
"You don't necessarily have to be 100 percent raw," reassured Smith."If you just did a juice a day with some raw food in there, that alone would jumpstart your morning."
So the next time you're out and about and ravenous, stop into Basic Foods. Like Smith said, you don't have to dive head first into the world of raw vegetables — take a few baby steps. Grab a meatloaf out of the deli cooler, and wash it down with green lemonade.Read the Basic Foods blog at www.BasicFoodsMarket.blogspot.com or become a fan on Facebook to receive frequent health fun facts and product updates.
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call the store at (409) 861-4424.
Basic Foods is at 229 Dowlen Road in the Oaks Shopping Center next to World Gym in Beaumont.
