The Mind
It did occur to me that few, if any, of you have ever seen the township of Eagleton in its setting on the Island. Well here it is. The picture is facing roughly South.

The mind does play tricks on us ~ but like you suggest perhaps yours was triggered by the morning light and that state of being between sleep and awake. Have you ever thought of investing in a drone to capture aerial footage of your island? Come to think of it, it is probably too windy a lot of the time.ReplyDeleteReplies
Carol I think we all like to pretend that our minds are clear and that we are in control. Any magician knows how to exploit our general 'weaknesses' and anyone who has taken statements from witnesses knows how unreliable they can be (and usually are). I'd never thought of using a drone but Google has pretty good coverage from a little higher as well as along many of the public roads.Delete
Oh, spooky :) This ties in just so perfectly with the book I've just read (and am going back in now because I'm still trying to get my head round what's what): Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson. In spite of its title and the coincidence with this post, I'm not sure it's one I'd recommend for you to read. Or maybe I should? The language is excellent but the story full of mysteries as to what is supposed to be 'real' vs dream or fiction (but then of course since it's a novel, it's all fiction anyway). Remains to be seen whether I manage to sort it out enough in my own head to write a review... :) - As for the photo of Eagleton, that gives me deja vu feelings as well. Not sure whether from your blog, Google or my dreams!ReplyDeleteReplies
Please do write a review, Monica! I have read "Human Croquet" years ago, before I began blogging, otherwise you'd find my review there and we could compare notes.Delete
Monica I have Human Croquet (and all her other books I think) but it must be in the loft. I think I started it but didn't take to it. I'll have a look in a month or two when I'm allowed back up into the loft. I don't think I've ever posted a photo from that position before.Delete
So it's windy there too? I thought ours was the windy city, we are situated between two seas so there is always lots of wind, and it's good because it blows away the pollution.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm puzzled Saucy Siciliana because I thought Sicily was wholly in the Mediterranean. Anyway Sicily is a lot larger than Lewis and has a population about the same as the whole of Scotland. We don't produce any pollution to speak of (with a population of about 23,000 people) but it is a very windy place.Delete
Graham, Sicily is wholly in the Mediterranean, that's true, but that Sea is subdivided into some more "Seas", such as the Thyrrenian and the Ionian Sea which enclose the island from two sides, each of them bringing different streams and winds.Delete
Thank you Meike. I had no idea about that.Delete
I bet you jumped up shortly after and made the coffee anyway. Time, space and coffee (matter) are the same things anyway, so we are told.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh gosh Kate that's a bit too cerebral for me at this time of the day (pre 7am) sitting in bed with a cup of hot water and lemon.Delete
Well, a dream like that is a real bummer! Nice photo of Eagleton.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've had far worse dreams Red.Delete
Wow! Thanks for this, Graham! I just went on a hike with my best friend, Mr. Google and discovered things I'd not known before.ReplyDelete
I'd not before realised just how remote (and I mean that in a nice way) the Isle of Lewis is!! And I also learned there are only 22 houses at Eagleton...is that correct? My kind of place!
You probably smelled the coffee I was brewing. :)Replies
Oh yes Lee Lewis is pretty remote: 2 hrs 40 minutes by sea ferry from Ullapool. I've been sitting counting in my head and I think there are 15 occupied houses in Eagleton. My house was originally the croft house for the croft 40 Lower Bayble before the Eagleton houses were built. Eagleton is actually not a crofting township but was built as a township of fishermen's holdings. When I arrived at Tigh na Mara it's address wasn't Eagleton which made no sense at all given it's location so the Post Office changed the postal address. However its address in the crofting register will still be 40 Lower Bayble (the same as the current new croft house on the croft about half a kilometre away).Delete
Thank you for that info, Graham. It sounds pretty good to me.Delete
OH DEAR. I've just noticed a glaring error in my last comment. It should be 'its' not 'it's'. I'll get a number of emails about that one.Delete
Wow! I also didn't realise how remote you are. It does look beautiful though!ReplyDeleteReplies
Few people do realise Liz. And, yes, it is beautiful.Delete
I once dreamt I'd been smoking and woke up with the distinct (ugly) taste and smell of a fag in my mouth and nose. At the time, nobody in my vicinity was or had been smoking; the bedroom window was facing an area where nobody walked so that there could not have been someone standing outside the (open) window, smoking and letting the smoke drift into my bedroom. I could have sworn there and then that now I knew exactly what smoking felt (tasted) like, even though I have never, not even once in my life, tried it.ReplyDelete
The human mind is indeed a very unreliable source of information, and easy to manipulate if one knows how. Any police officer, judge and psychologist will confirm that.Replies
That's really weird Meike. As you say anyone who has ever taken witness statements knows just how unreliable people's recollections often are.Delete
Graham... I really have been to The Land of Nod. It is at at the end of a long straight lane that leads from Holme on Spalding Moor out into rich farmland. There's not much there - just a couple of windswept farms. One of them specialises in growing high quality turf. See http://beefgravy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/excursion.htmlReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks YP. There is a wonderful irony in the comment I left on that post "One of the problems of Blogland is that there are so many photos of and references to places I've been but just can't recall now. Oh dear: too many decades.".Delete
Mr. Edwards, I would be interested to know what brought the souls who live in those 15 homes to Eagleton. Were they born there, did they come to visit family and never go back, did they retire there? And, what do they do to occupy their time, their days and nights?ReplyDeleteReplies
Mrs Thyme I had the perfect opportunity last night to get the history of Eagleton from the daughter of the oldest (I think) resident. In a couple of hours we talked about so much that I forgot. The township originally known as Cnoc na h'Iolaire was established at the beginning of the last century as fishermen's holdings.Delete
The mind boggles....sorry, couldn't resist! xoxox DeeDeeReplyDeleteReplies
Your mind was very comfortable with having David and Molly around and that's why you still felt their presence.ReplyDelete
Freshly brewed coffee is a comforting smell to wake up to.
"Wake up and smell the coffee!!"Replies
I suppose it is Virginia. I prefer home made bread though. My first drink in the morning is hot water and lemon.Delete

One Direction's plans to have a wild time in Las Vegas were dealt a blow after they were reportedly banned from casinos because they are too young.
The British-Irish pop stars played a show at the Planet Hollywood Theater for the Performing Arts earlier this month (Jun12), but their attempts to live it up in the famed party city were foiled after gambling bosses barred them from casinos for being underage.
A source tells Britain's The Sun, "The boys were hoping to go wild in Vegas by boozing and gambling into the early hours. But security at every casino in town knew who the lads were and threw them out because the legal drinking and gambling age in the U.S. is 21."
Following their dashed gambling dreams, the What Makes You Beautiful hitmakers headed back to their $25,000 -a-night two-floor Palms hotel suite, which has its own hot tub and basketball half court.

Shopping For a Cheap Bridesmaid Dress
Wednesday, February 11, 2015 • 2 comments
Hey loves! Just in case you are the bridesmaid and you have to bear the cost of your own dress, you can still find good deals specifically online. Traditionally, the bride was supposed to give the style and the color of the bridesmaids' dresses. However, you can now choose to buy one that suits you, as far as it is in sync with the overall theme of the occasion. There is currently an ongoing cheap bridesmaid dresses at Dresswe.com promotion which I bet you guys will definitely find helpful so please do check that out. With the changing trends, you can also have an updated twist in the traditional look by opting for a bridesmaid dress in different textures of the same pattern. Nowadays, the bridesmaids do not have to necessarily wear the same dress as the bride, thus giving them enhanced liberty to choose from various designs and colors that compliment them the best.
With the various options and stores available for exclusive wedding dresses, it is now fun and exciting to shop for your bridesmaid dress. The world wide web, is the most preferred option when girls decide to shop for their dresses. The reason behind the popularity of online wedding shopping stores is that although they offer stylish dresses in a variety of styles and colors, yet they are very affordable when it comes to price tag attached to them. There are some online stores that offer discounts made on bulk purchases, so it definitely would be a good idea for the bride's maids to consult among themselves and then choose and order from the same shopping store. This option can be also very convenient if the bridesmaids do not live near to each other and cannot make it to the store together. And oh, did you know that there are also mother of the bride dresses in Dresswe.com? Yes, you've read that right! Be sure to check that out as well - I bet you'll love them.

DB Lucas Thompson of Winter Garden, FL has been favoring Miami for an extended period. But with the investigation of the Hurricane program heating up, Thompson is still keeping his options open. One of those is USC.
Thompson has the Gamecocks in his top five. The others on his list are Louisville, West Virginia and East Carolina.
But everything for Thomas revolves around the Miami situation right now. "We're still waiting to hear what's going to happen (with the investigation," Thompson told the Orlando Sentinel. Thompson said a major penalty against the Canes, like a four year penalty, would lead him to drop them. A shorter penalty would not affect his feelings for Miami.
He does not plan to announce his decision until the Under Armour all American Game.

Range Rover recently launched the new 2019 Range Rover Velar. Although this is the first time the company has launched a performance-focused crossover, it's doing pretty well. This is also due mainly to the fact that Jaguar was part of the development process, and the Velar is essentially an F-Pace with a much nicer feature set. However, it seems now that Range Rover will go even further. Not long ago, what appears to be the future 2019 Range Rover Velar was spied on during the Nurburgring test. If the rumors are true, then it could easily become the fastest car the company has ever launched. While details are still scarce, there are many rumors that can happen, and most of them seem to be quite accurate.
Like the Range Rover Sport, the 2019 Range Rover Velar has received a sporty makeover. The wheelarches have inflated compared to the standard model to accommodate wider tires on their huge alloy wheels. Its honeycomb-shaped front grille and four barrel vents echo the more powerful F-type and leave no doubt about the performance potential of the car. Interestingly, the Velar test car in the video uses conventional door handles compared to the deployable versions that are featured in the regular Velar, it is unclear whether they are discontinued to save weight or simplified for development .
The interior will also receive a makeover from the 2019 Range Rover Velar. Normally comfortable seats will likely be replaced by seats similar to those equipped with the 2019 Range Rover Sport, probably in a variety of colors. There will be a lot of carbon fiber around the cabin to reinforce the sporting image, while the infotainment will come in the form of Land Rover's In Control Touch Pro system.
Unlike the current model, the 2019 Range Rover Velar will feature a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine. This is the same engine that is currently used by the Range Rover and some other vehicles on the Jaguar list. In this particular application, the V8 should provide something between 500 and 600 horsepower and up to 550 lb-ft of torque. All this power will be sent to an ingenious all-wheel drive system that will have a torque vectoring function. Thanks to that, and to the eight-speed automatic of the car; The Velar should be able to reach 60 MPH in less than 4.0 seconds. Its maximum speed could be limited to around 150 to 170 mph, but Range Rover could also decide to demarcate the car, in which case you can expect a top speed of over 170 mph. .
The regular Velar is launched in September 2017, so it is unlikely that we will see a variant of Velar until November 2018, perhaps until 2019. With the 2019 Range Rover Velar, it costs around £ 45,000 and the Range Rover Sport costs around £ 100,000, the Velar should cost between £ 85,000 and £ 90,000.

The world famous International Wood Tick Race is held annually, in May, at the Oxbo Resort, in Oxbo, Wisconsin where hundreds of contestants vie for a money prize, champion trophy and the biggest honor of all -- the title of Wood Tick Racing Champion. More than 30 years ago, in the bar of the Oxbo Resort, a man named Dick Kuhnert pulled a tick off of his arm, put it on the bar and watched as it scuttled around. Maybe Dick had spent too much time in the Northwoods, but the idea of a Wood Tick … [Read more...]

There are numerous resources available, such as magazines, videos, books, and shows. So where do you begin with your own system? Try going through these tips to find your starting point. To help you repair a leaky water line, you should hire a plumber. A leaky water line can be a problem because it could lead to a flood. The best way to fix this problem is to hire a licensed plumber who is trained to repair the leak. Avoid the bursting of pipes due to the change in the temperature. You need to allow the flow of heat to reach under the sinks and into the pipes, you have to keep the cabinet doors of the bathrooms and kitchens open. It is important to keep water running at both hot and cold faucets along with vanities that are in close proximity to exterior walls. It is not always necessary to call in a plumber when you have a damaged section of pipe in your plumbing. There are repair kits you can buy in your local hardware store which are excellent in repairing leaks. If you have a small leak, you can rub a compound stick over the hole or crack in the pipe to seal it shut. Epoxy paste is also an excellent remedy for a leaking pipes. Make sure you turn off the water and completely dry the pipe before applying the epoxy.

Can you start bettering your home plumbing smartly and safely? If you can, then have fun! If not, make sure to go back through the tips again.
Plumbing Advice That People Need To KnowWhen working as a plumber some of the work that you might do includes installing and repairing various plumbing systems such as waste and water.Leak detectionOne of the main reasons that a plumber may be called by a homeowner for leak detection is that their water bill has suddenly went up due to a high reading. Searching for the leak could take a few hours and may include having to cut holes in the walls to check out the pipe fittings and pipes. If possible, call the plumber during their operating hours because it is more expensive to call after hours, which is considered an emergency call.Unclogging pipesMany things can clog sinks, like hair, food, grease, etc and may require a plumber's service if you cannot unclog it yourself. When a plumber comes to your home, they have special tools they can use like plumber's snakes and rooter machines. The rooter machine has rotating blades that are hooked to cables and spin to clear the clog. A plumber's snake reaches into the pipes to clear the clogs. Some plumber's snakes have a small camera attached so they can see inside the pipes and they also come in various lengths. If it is a very tough clog the plumber may use hydro-jetting. This involves used high-pressured water to unclog and clean the pipes. It can also be used on septic systems and sewer lines.Replacing or repairing garbage disposalsOver time, garbage disposals become worn out from continual use and need to be replaced. A homeowner may call on a plumber to install a new one. They may also be called upon to repair damaged parts on the garbage disposal instead of replacing it. When they repair a damaged garbage disposal, they usually replace the fittings and broken parts.Replacing water heatersThis is one of the more common reasons for an emergency call. To replace water heaters it can take two to three hours. Yes, a homeowner can replace a water heater but it is advisable to have a professional plumber do it because the water heater has to comply with the local building codes.Rerouting pipesWhen you have old leaky pipes or doing home remodeling, a professional plumber may be called to re-pipe or reroute the pipes. This involves changing the configurations of the pipes so they mesh with the new design of the new kitchen or kitchen. It is also done to close off damaged or leaky pipes.Plumbers also do preventative inspections of the plumbing system to help prevent any future problems from occurring, usually when a home is sold or being bought. They visually review the fixtures and pipes, test the flow of drains, and check faucets for leaks.

Ohio State holds off George Mason
Sangrey notches match-high 20 kills to power No. 10 Buckeyes
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- No. 10 Ohio State defeated George Mason 3-2 (21-25, 25-21, 25-22, 23-25, 15-11) on Thursday night in St. John Arena. The Buckeyes improve to 4-3, while the Patriots fall to 1-2 on the season.
Shawn Sangrey led all players with 20 kills and had a team-best five blocks. Mik Berzins finished with 12 kills and added 11 digs, while Anthony Hock had a match-high 13 digs. Kyle Lawrence dished out a match-best 50 assists for the Buckeyes.
Three Patriots had double-digit kills in Michael Kvidahl (14), Joe Norton (13) and Jonathan Lutz (10). Piotr Dabrowski had a match-high nine blocks and Pete Cuppernull had 48 assists to lead George Mason.
After exchanging back-and-forth points until the 12-12 mark of the first set, the Buckeyes fell behind after the Patriots notched five consecutive points. Down 20-14, Ohio State carded six of the next eight points to cut the deficit to two at 22-20, but two Patriot kills and a Buckeye error gave the set to George Mason 25-21.
The score for the second set would flip-flop in the Buckeyes' favor. Trailing George Mason 10-6 and forced to call timeout, Ohio State fought back to tie the score at 13-13 after a kill from Sangrey. Tallying the next two points after a Patriot error and another Sangrey kill, Ohio State did not trail in the set again winning 25-21.
Tied 3-3 after exchanging points to open the third set, Ohio State took the lead off a kill from Shawn Herron. The Buckeyes maintained their advantage until the Patriots threatened with three consecutive points to tie the score at 22-22. Calling a timeout, the Scarlet and Gray made a three-point run of their own to finish the set at 25-22.
Taking the first point of the fourth set off an ace from Lawrence, Ohio State was up 13-10 before the Patriots came back to tie the score at 14-14. Notching six of the next nine points, George Mason jumped to a 20-17 lead to force a Buckeye timeout. Despite coming back within two, a Patriot kill from Kvidahl secured the set for George Mason 25-23.
After the Patriots jumped out to a 3-2 lead in the final frame, a kill from Sangrey and back-to-back George Mason errors put the Buckeyes up 4-3. Tied at 4 apiece, a kill from Berzins triggered a three-point run for a 7-4 lead. Ohio State sealed the match with another kill by Berzins, winning 15-11.

F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes About InnocenceQuotes about: Innocence
Rosemary bubbled with delight at the trunks. Her naivete responded whole-heartedly to the expensive simplicity of the Divers, unaware of its complexity and its lack of innocence, unaware that it was all a selection of quality rather than quantity from the run of the world's bazaar; and that the simplicity of behavior also, the nursery-like peace and good will, the emphasis on the simpler virtues, was part of a desperate bargain with the gods and had been attained through struggles she could not have guessed at.
They were still in the happier stage of love. They were full of brave illusions about each other, tremendous illusions, so that the communion of self with self seemed to be on a plane where no other human relations mattered. They both seemed to have arrived there with an extraordinary innocence as though a series of pure accidents had driven them together, so many accidents that at last they were forced to conclude that they were for each other. They had arrived with clean hands, or so it seemed, after no traffic with the merely curious and clandestine.
He wanted to care, and he could not care. For he had gone away and he could never go back anymore. The gates were closed, the sun was down, and there was no beauty left but the gray beauty of steel that withstands all time. Even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of youth, of illusion, of the richness of life, where his winter dreams had flourished.

Guy Marshall, April 15, 1900
A Soldier's Letter
How Time is Passed at Manila. Characteristics of the Natives.
Co. B, 1st Battalion,
Naval Station,
Cavite, P.I., April 15 [1900]
I have read every book or paper that I could lay my hands on and lounged around until I feel as if another hour's and nap will give me the headache, so there is nothing else to do but write you another letter. The mail closed for the States, this a.m. and by this time ought to be on board the Thomas, so this will be at least 15 or 20 days behind the last letter I wrote. The mails have been very slow heretofore, but now the Government has established a regular mail line of steamers, which will run on something like schedule time, after the 1st of May. This will enable us to get at least two mails a month. A great improvement on the old way I assure you, as a fellow nearly gets the blues, waiting for an answer to his letter.
This past week has been Holy week, and was observed very precisely by the natives, who are Catholics. All of the stores except the Chinese closed, and business was almost at a stand still. We, out of respect to them, suspended drill, but then no one kicked on that as an hours drill out here is not, as the little fellow said, "Wot its cracked up to be!" They had a parade that was very imposing, but looked a little heathenish to us. There were two floats, one representing the tomb of Christ, made of tin or some equally bright material, all gilt and bronze, with the Angels guarding it and illuminated by candles, placed in ground glass globes. On the inside of the tomb was a wax figure representing Christ, lying in state, following this were some men dressed to represent Herod and Pilate, behind them came the men bearing the cross and others with the crown of thorns, the sponge, hammer, and in fact all articles supposed to have been used in the crucifixion. After this came the priest and two boys burning incense, followed by a crowd of native girls dressed in black, each with a candle. Then came the second float, this was something like a pedestal on the summit of which was a figure of the Virgin Mary, with the same illumination. The band brought up the rear. It was a novel sight to the Americans and they were out on the street in full force. This is one of their greatest holidays, and I understand through an old Philippino that when the Spaniards were here, and at war with the natives, during this holy week all hostilities were suspended and they would all assemble in Cavite, and unite in the parades, worships, etc., living at peace during the entire week.
The plague has about died out, and they have moved the pest house from this post.
We had quite a hard shower last night a forerunner of the rainy season. It will not surprise us and we will keep on the lookout.
The boys have gone over to Manila today, to play the 26th Regiment's ball team. I wanted to go but neglected to ask for a pass in time.
Henry White is in our company and bunks next to me. We have tried to keep together and succeeded so far. I mention this, thinking you may see his mother and she will be glad to know he is well. Write soon to yours truly.

After their three points against Burnley at the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur fans have been given another reason to celebrate today.
It has been announced that star USA international DeAndre Yedlin has finally been awarded a work permit and will be joining up with his new teammates at the start of the January transfer window.
The defender comes from the Seattle Sounders, the Major League Soccer team that Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins currently turn out for.
The incredibly quick right back signed for Tottenham back in the summer for a fee of around $4 million but was able to play out the 2014 Major League Soccer season with his hometown Sounders to gain more experience.
However, now the season is over and Spurs look to kick on in the second half of the Premier League campaign, it appears Mauricio Pochettino has decided to bring him in to bolster the squad.
Yedlin was initially believed to be looking to acquire a Latvian passport thanks to his Grandmother to make it easier for him to complete the move, but the need for that has been completely removed by being granted the UK work permit.
Meteoric Rise
Yedlin came to prominence during the summer at the World Cup in Brazil. The speedy youngster made his bow against Portugal and subsequent appearances against Germany, and more notably Belgium in the second round, rocketed him into public consciousness.
The 21-year old was still only playing college soccer in late 2012, and only became a professional in January of 2013. His meteoric rise is nothing short of incredible, being named an MLS All-Star in his rookie season, the first player to do such a feat since 2005.

The required tax form for self-employed individuals is Form 1040, according to the IRS. Different sections are filled out for self-employed persons as opposed to someone employed by someone else. Depending on the situation, the individual might need the standard 1040, 1040EZ or 1040ES.Continue Reading
Self-employed people must pay standard income tax and self-employment tax, says the IRS; self-employment tax is for benefits such as Medicare and Social Security. This is done by filling out the Form 1040.
Not all self-employed people file the self-employment tax, notes the IRS. This is determined by the person's net profit and net loss. It can be calculated based on the business income for the previous year. The rule for income tax is that anyone self-employed who earned more than $400 the previous year needs to file, as of January 2016. If the income was less than $400, filing depends on other requirements, which are listed on the 1040 form.
Form 1040 ES is for people who want to figure out their estimated taxes for the next quarter or year, states the IRS. This includes a worksheet to figure out what they might owe the following year. It helps people determine if they should file annually or quarterly. Someone filing annually fills out Schedule C on Form 1040 or Schedule C-EZ on Form 1040 EZ. This section is for earnings related to being self-employed, instead of from a salaried job.Learn more about Taxes

Part 2 of our 7-Part series is, "Sabbath v. Success". NYC is known as the "City That Never Sleeps". And recently, an ad campaign in the subway praised those who "Worship at the Church of Do". This is in direct conflict with the 4th commandment to rest, but can we really rest for 24-hours and be "successful"? Let's talk Avodah! Join Jonathan Walton and our speaking team as we explore scripture and take practical steps to work out of rest and not for it.
How Do I Participate?: Click here to RSVP. PLEASE RSVP. The deadline for registration for this event is Wednesday, June 14th at 11:59PM. These events are free and open to everyone and are sustained by your generosity. Click here to make a contribution to these essential discipleship programs.
Background | What is Avodah?
Avodah comes from a Hebrew word whose root has three distinct yet intertwined meanings: work, worship, service. The root of this ancient word speaks life to the present day. If God can and should be the center of every sphere of our lives, how do we do that with our jobs? Especially in a culture oriented around greed, pursuit of wealth, and success at any cost? We aim to inform, inspire and equip the next generation of marketplace leaders with the tools necessary to reframe, integrate, and apply faith in Jesus especially into their everyday employment. With a generous grant from the Lilly Foundation our 7-Part lecture and discussion series invites all attendees to Avodah Our God at and through their vocation.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to come to every workshop?
No, you're welcome to come to one, two or all of them!
Do I have to pay?
No, but our program is sustained by your generosity. If you would like to give, click here!
Is this just for students?
No, it's not. All are welcome and we truly desire for people of all generations to be present!

The Princeton University Host Database has been enhanced to add a Departmental Contacts feature.
The new feature allows a University department to specify a list of people who are authorized to change and delete Host Database entries associated with that department.
Each Host Database entry's "Department" field contains a department name (if a department is responsible for the device represented by the Host Database entry). The Host Database uses this field to determine any associated Departmental Contacts, and grant them authorization to change or delete the Host Database entry.
Additionally, when a Host Database entry is successfully added, changed, or deleted, each Departmental Contact for the department name specified in the entry is optionally notified via email. Whether or not this additional mail should be sent is separately configurable for each Departmental Contact within each department.
The Departmental Contacts List displays the Departmental Contacts for all departments, and allows authorized persons to edit the list.
For detailed information about the new feature, see Departmental Contacts and Host Database.

Back in the summer, a contractor contacted me and asked that I do a digital rendering of his ideas for the outside facade of a new restaurant he was working on in West Seattle. It was the first time I was paid to create something like this (other than what I do for fun) and was a fun project to work on. While the bank did not approve his vision for the outside of the building (it's in a strip of buildings that the bank owns and they didn't want the front to look different from the others), many of the ideas were used on the inside of the restaurant. I wanted until now to post this until the restaurant opened (which, I believe, it has). Note: The Soprano's sign used in the rendering had to match what was used at another restaurant in California.

How to Know If You've Had Too Much Sun
Getting out in the sunlight has many benefits, including getting Vitamin D and giving your skin some color. Unfortunately, there is such a thing as getting too much sun which can cause a variety of issues for your health and for your skin. Here are some warning signs that you have been in the sun too long and what you should do about it.
When you spend too much time in the sun without wearing sunscreen, you are inevitably going to get a sunburn. Sunburns may seem like a minor inconvenience, but they can also be a warning sign of sun poisoning. Sun poisoning can be more severe in that it can cause small blisters on your skin which can get infected. You may also experience headaches, fever, nausea and dizziness as a result.
In most cases, sun poisoning can be a minor problem. However, it can easily get out of hand and require professional medical attention. If the burns are very painful, or if you start vomiting, you should go to an emergency room right away. A high fever of at least 104 degrees is also cause for getting medical attention immediately. At the hospital, you will probably receive fluids through an IV to help rehydrate you along with an external cream for reducing the inflammation on your skin.
Preventing Sun Damage
In order to prevent sun damage from being outside, there are several precautions you can take. For instance, always wear sunscreen if you are going to be outside for more than a few minutes. Doctors recommend that you use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more for ideal protection. You should also avoid taking certain medications when you are going to spend some time in the sun, especially if you are doing some strenuous activities. If you aren't sure if you are on those types of prescription medications, contact your physician or pharmacist to find out. Similarly, you should also be careful if you are on oral contraceptives, St. John's Wort, antidepressants and acne medications as these often have ingredients that make you more sensitive to potential sun damage.
If you enjoy spending time in the sun, it's important to do it the right way. Too much sun can cause a variety of problems despite its benefits of helping your skin look younger, providing Vitamin D, and making your feel more energetic. Make sure you are cautious and have the proper protection to prevent major sun damage to your body.

Amhrán na bhFiann
National anthem of Ireland
|English: Peadar Kearney, 1907
Irish: Liam Ó Rinn, 1923
|Patrick Heeney, 1907
|Music sample
"Amhrán na bhFiann" (Irish pronunciation: [ˈəuɾˠaːn̪ˠ n̪ˠə ˈvʲiːən̪ˠ]) originally composed in English as "The Soldiers' Song", is the Irish national anthem. The music was composed by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney, the original English lyrics (as "A Soldiers' Song") by Kearney, and the Irish language translation by Liam Ó Rinn. The song has three verses, but only the choral refrain was officially designated the national anthem.
The Presidential Salute, played when the President of Ireland arrives at an official engagement, consists of the first four bars of the national anthem immediately followed by the last five.[1]
"A Soldiers' Song" was composed in 1907, with words by Peadar Kearney and music by Kearney and Patrick Heeney.[2] The first draft, handwritten on copybook paper, sold at auction in Dublin in 2006 for €760,000.[3] The text was first published in Irish Freedom by Bulmer Hobson in 1912.[2] It was used as marching song by the Irish Volunteers and was sung by rebels in the General Post Office (GPO) during the Easter Rising of 1916.[2] Its popularity increased among rebels held in Frongoch internment camp after the Rising,[2][4] and the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the Irish War of Independence (1919–21). After the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, a large proportion of the IRA's men and apparatus became the National Army. The "Soldiers' Song" remained popular as an Army tune, and was played at many military functions.[2]
Official adoption
The Free State did not initially adopt any official anthem.[2] The delicate political state in the aftermath of the Civil War provoked a desire to avoid controversy.[5] Ex-Unionists continued to regard "God Save the King" as the national anthem,[2] as it had been for the rest of the British Empire. W. T. Cosgrave, President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State, on 28 April 1924, expressed opposition to replacing the "Soldiers' Song", which was provisionally used within the State.[5] Sean Lester, Publicist at the Department of External Affairs considered "The Soldiers' Song" to be "hardly suitable in words or music".[6] and favoured the music, though not the words, of "Let Erin Remember".[6] This was used as the anthem for the state at the 1924 Olympics in Paris,[2] and other events abroad for the next two years.[6] The Dublin Evening Mail held contests in 1924 and 1925 to find verses for a new anthem; the first produced no sufficiently good entry, and the second's winning entry was soon forgotten.[2]
There was concern that the lack of an official anthem was giving Unionists an opportunity to persist with "God Save the King".[6] The "Soldiers' Song" was widely if unofficially sung by nationalists,[6] and on 12 July 1926, the Executive Council decided to adopt it as the National Anthem,[6] with Cosgrave the driving force in the decision.[6] This decision was not publicised.[2] On 20 June 1926, Osmond Esmonde asked the President of the Executive Council what the National Anthem was, but the Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes ruled 'If the Deputy desires to investigate any problem in regard to the National Anthem, he cannot ask a question of the President. The President cannot be asked to define what is the National Anthem. It is not part of his functions.'[7] Esmonde instead asked Minister for Defence Peter Hughes what 'as far as the Army is concerned' was the National Anthem.[7] While the draft response provided for Hughes stated that 'while no final decision has been come to', "The soldier's song" was 'at present accepted as the National Anthem",[8] in the Dáil chamber he responded simply 'The "Soldiers' Song."'[2][7]
In 1928, the Army band established the practice of playing only the chorus of the song as the Anthem, because the longer version was discouraging audiences from singing along.[5] Also in 1928, Chief Justice Hugh Kennedy, returning from an official trip to North America, reported that an official arrangement of the music was "very badly needed" for circulation abroad.[5] This was produced in July 1929 by Colonel Fritz Brasé, director of the Army band.[2] This consisted only of the chorus, and was published under the title "The Soldier's Song", rather than "A Soldier's Song" or the "Soldiers' Song".[2]
The anthem was played by Radio Éireann at closedown from its inception in 1926. Cinemas and theatres did so from 1932[2] until 1972.[9] Peadar Kearney, who had received royalties from publishers of the text and music, issued legal proceedings for royalties from those now performing the anthem.[2] He was joined by Michael Heeney, brother of Patrick Heeney, who had died in 1911.[2] In 1934, the Department of Finance acquired the copyright of the song for the sum of £1,200 (£980 to the copyright holders plus £220 expenses[10]).[2][11][12] Copyright law changed in 1959, such that the government had to reacquire copyright in 1965, for £2,500.[2][13] As per copyright law, the copyright expired in December 2012, following the 70th anniversary of Kearney's death.[14][15]
In the Dáil debate preceding the original acquisition of copyright, there was discussion of the song's merits or lack thereof. Frank MacDermot said, "Leaving out sentiment, I must confess, from both a literary and a musical point of view, I would regard the "Soldier's Song" as, shall we say, a jaunty little piece of vulgarity, and I think we could have done a lot better.".[16] Thomas F. O'Higgins responded, "National Anthems come about, not because of the suitability of the particular words or notes, but because they are adopted generally by the nation. That is exactly how the "Soldiers' Song" became a National Anthem in this country. It happened to be the Anthem on the lips of the people when they came into their own and when the outsiders evacuated the country and left the insiders here to make the best or the worst of the country. It was adopted by the people here before ever it was adopted by the Executive Council".[16]
The anthem is recommended, but not required, to be taught as part of the civics syllabus in national schools.[17]
The Governor-General of the Irish Free State was the King's representative and, as such, unionists considered that the appropriate official salute to play was "God Save The King" rather than the Free State Anthem. In 1929, Governor-General James McNeill refused to attend a public function in Trinity College when he learned that the university intended to play "God Save The King" rather than "The Soldiers' Song" during his visit.[2] In 1932, Éamon de Valera became President of the Executive Council; as part of his campaign to abolish the office of Governor-General, he forbade the Army band to play "The Soldiers' Song" in McNeill's presence.[2]
Irish version
The Irish translation was written by Liam Ó Rinn (1888–1950), later the Chief Translator of the Oireachtas,[2] who was involved in the Irish versions of both the 1922 Constitution and the 1937 Constitution. Although Sherry says the Irish version was first published in An tÓglach (the magazine of the Irish Defence Forces) on 3 November 1923,[2] an almost identical text was printed in the Freeman's Journal on 3 April 1923, under Ó Rinn's pen name "Coinneach".[18][19] It may have been written as early as 1917.[2][20] Several earlier translations had been made, which Ó Rinn criticised as unreadable.[18] These were in literary Classical Irish, whereas Ó Rinn favoured the living vernacular spoken in Gaeltacht areas.[18] Other Irish translations were made, including one sung by Claisceadal in University College Galway in December 1931.[21] From the 1930s, the Gaelic Athletic Association encouraged singing the anthem in Irish at its matches.[2] The text of the Ó Rinn version was printed in the 1933 edition of An Camán,[2] and in the programs of matches at Croke Park, and the crowd was led via the public address system by singers from St Patrick's College of Education and Conradh na Gaeilge.[22]
The English version has been almost totally eclipsed.[2] The English version was sung in Canada during a state visit by President Mary McAleese in 1998,[23] and at the 2004 Ryder Cup in the United States. The latter prompted objections from Fáilte Ireland,[24] and what Gaeltacht Minister Éamon Ó Cuív called "an outcry" from viewers in Ireland.[25][26]
The Irish version is a free translation of the English; in particular, "Sinne Fianna Fáil" is not a literal translation of "Soldiers are we". Fianna Fáil, variously translated as "Soldiers of Destiny", "Warriors of Destiny" or "Soldiers of Ireland", is from the Irish Fianna ("band of warriors") of Fál (a coronation stone, and metonymically "Ireland"). As an Irish name for the Irish Volunteers, it was an alternative to Óglaigh na hÉireann. The initials "FF" appeared on the Volunteer badge, and subsequently on that of the Irish Army.[27] On 2 April 1926, "Fianna Fáil" was chosen as the name of Éamon de Valera's new political party. Since the Irish version of the anthem became popular in the 1930s, there has been intermittent resentment of the party name's occurring in it.[2][28] Publishers Browne & Nolan printed a version in 1938 substituting "Sinne laochra fáil" for "Sinne Fianna Fáil" (laochra = "heroes", "warriors"), which is occasionally heard instead.[2] In the Dáil in 2011 and 2012, Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Finance Michael Noonan whether "Sinne Fianna Fáil" was "appropriate and correct" or had "party political connotations"; Noonan stated it was appropriate and had no such connotations, given that the translation predated the party's founding.[14][29]
Ruth Sherry states that it is unclear whether the official anthem is the music alone or the text also;[2] however, the official 1934 Estimate of the amount required ... for the acquisition by the state of copyright in the national anthem includes the line item, 'Payment to the holders of copyright in the words and music of the "Soldier's Song"' [emphasis added].[10] Both the English and Irish texts appear in Facts about Ireland, published by the Department of Foreign Affairs,[2][30] and on the official website of the Department of the Taoiseach.[1] However, no Irish version has been officially adopted,[2] the state does not hold the copyright to any Irish version,[14] and Ó Rinn, unlike Kearney and Heeney's estate, never received royalties.[2] A memorandum in the Department of the Taoiseach on 5 April 1958 discussed five distinct Irish translations, noting that Ó Rinn's was the best known; it suggested that, if it were to be officially endorsed, the spelling and grammar should be standardised and the words "Fianna Fáil" changed to "laochra Fáil" to avoid party-political associations.[20] Maureen O'Sullivan likewise favoured changing to "laochra Fáil".[31]
Political implications
The lyrics of "Amhrán na bhFiann" have been criticised by some commentators for alleged outdatedness, militarism, and anti-British sentiment.[32][33][34][35] Others deny such faults or attribute them to national anthems generally.[35][36]
Kevin Myers described calls for it to be amended or replaced as "seasonal as spring".[32] Questions in the Dáil have been asked by Frank MacDermot in 1932;[37] Trevor Sargent in 1993;[38] Derek McDowell in 1995;[39] and John Browne in 2000.[40] In 1995, during the Northern Ireland peace process, the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation drafted an unpublished report on "obstacles to reconciliation in the Republic"; 1998 newspaper articles summarising the draft claimed it suggested "the government could commission alternative anthems for sporting and other non-official occasions"[41] which were not "excessively militaristic".[42] Fergus Finlay in 2007 suggested "retiring [the anthem] with honour".[43] In a debate during the 2011 presidential election, two of the seven candidates were open to changing the anthem.[44] Seán Gallagher suggested altering some of its lyrics.[36][45]
Ulster unionists regard the anthem as specific to the Republic of Ireland, not symbolic of the whole island of Ireland. At international rugby union games played by the all-island Ireland team, the specially commissioned song "Ireland's Call" is used; "Amhrán na bhFiann" is used only within the Republic of Ireland and not abroad or at games in Northern Ireland. "Ireland's Call" has also been adopted by all-island teams in some other sports.
"Amhrán na bhFiann" is usually sung or played in march time. Different tempos may be used, however, and the verse and chorus are occasionally played. Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), the Irish national broadcasting company, played an orchestral version in a slow tempo at the close of transmission from 1962 onwards.[46] This was arranged by Brian Boydell on the advice of a Canadian consultant who said, "I wan' it BIG! I envisage the kind of music that will stir the hearts of the Irish people".[46] Boydell disliked the tune.[46] At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, when Michelle Smith won three gold medals in swimming, the verse and chorus were played in a lively tempo.
The lyrics are those of an Irish rebel song, exhorting all Irish people to participate in the struggle to end the hegemony ("despot" over "slave") of the English ("Saxon foe") in Ireland ("Inisfail"). There are allusions to earlier Irish rebellions, and to support from Irish Americans ("from a land beyond the wave").[47]
The chorus is the established National Anthem. Slight variations exist in published versions; the following texts are from the Department of Foreign Affairs' sheet music.[48]

The anthem consists only of the chorus of the song. The original has three verses, set to a slightly different tune. The lyrics of the verses are as follows:
|Seo dhíbh, a chairde, duan Ógláigh
|We'll sing a song, a soldier's song
|Caithréimeach bríomhar ceolmhar
|With cheering rousing chorus
|Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid
|As round our blazing fires we throng
|'S an spéir go mín réaltógach
|The starry heavens o'er us
|Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
|Impatient for the coming fight
|'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht don ló
|And as we await the morning's light
|Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoíche ar seol
|Here in the silence of the night
|Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|We'll chant a soldier's song
|Sinne Fianna Fáil...
|Soldiers are we...
|Cois bánta réidhe, ar ardaibh sléibhe
|In valley green, on towering crag
|Ba bhuadhach ár sinsir romhainn
|Our fathers fought before us
|Ag lámhach go tréan fén sárbhrat séin
|And conquered 'neath the same old flag
|'Tá thuas sa ghaoth go seolta
|That's proudly floating o'er us
|Ba dhúchas riamh dár gcine cháidh
|We're children of a fighting race
|Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir
|That never yet has known disgrace
|'S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne námhad
|And as we march, the foe to face
|Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|We'll chant a soldier's song
|Sinne Fianna Fáil...
|Soldiers are we...
|A bhuíon nach fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall
|Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
|Sin breacadh lae na saoirse
|The long-watched day is breaking
|Tá sceimhle 's scanradh i gcroíthe námhad
|The serried ranks of Inisfail
|Roimh ranna laochra ár dtíre
|Shall set the tyrant quaking
|Ár dtinte is tréith gan spréach anois
|Our camp fires now are burning low
|Sin luisne ghlé sa spéir anoir
|See in the east a silv'ry glow
|'S an bíobha i raon na bpiléar agaibh
|Out yonder waits the Saxon foe
|Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|So chant a soldier's song
|Sinne Fianna Fáil...
|Soldiers are we...

Fianna Fáil, stemming from those years which we must regard as very unfortunate, slipping its hand into the "Soldier's Song", which became the National Anthem, and taking its name out of it so that school children and people who wanted to honour the country in the National Anthem, and wanted to cement the country's institutions, would be expected to sing "Sinne Fianna Fáil".
