Okay, we get it. There is no need for further evidence that Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski have developed an immortalizing affinity for all things piratical. Not that there's anything wrong with pirate fever, mind you, (I might be the only one on staff here at Amoeba Music SF that'll openly admit to being stoked about the prospect of future chapters in Pirates of the Caribbean film series) it's just that their enthusiasm for more legendary exploits of swashbuckling buccaneers, pillaging priveteers, salty sea dogs, and scurvy scallywags of yore sure has manifested itself in stranger ways than Walt Disney's theme park attraction turned multi-billion dollar motion picture franchise success story (sorry, Haunted Mansion). Of course I'm talking about their published tributes to the sea chantey arts.
Back in 2006 Depp and Verbinski had a hand in producing Hal Willner's Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys -- an unruly and somewhat drunken compilation featuring an intriguing, genre-spanning line-up of mostly high profile pop/rock artists revisiting a bounty of maritime folk and seafaring work songs, songs that were once passed down quite literally over vast oceans of time thus contributing to modern music styles in more way than one might immediately suspect. These reinvigorated renditions of antiquated rhymes that comprise Rogues Gallery serve as pleasant testaments to the durability of oral tradition, though oddball tracks buoy here and there throughout the cut, rendering some beloved chantey-man reels near unrecognizable, freakish even, challenging imbibers to sink or swim along with each tune and demanding listeners to temper their grog with a certain amount of equanimity.
Now, Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys, the latest second two-disc installment in the Depp/Verbinski/Willner pirate hymns and devotionals, released February 19th on Anti Records, is as boozy and weathered as its predecessor, exploring new crests and troughs of the diverse spectrum of second-wave maritime melodies that advance and perpetuate the popularity of salt-sea songs and drunken sing-a-longs. It should come as no surprise that the likes of Tom Waits lashed up with Keith Richards and the slow-rolling runnels of layered vocal-rumblings over a watery melange of acoustic strums and pluckings in their rendition of the early 19th century folk song "Shenandoah" is a highlight of the record that almost making up for neither of them appearing in the original Rogues Gallery crew. In fact, curious pairings are more of a theme this go 'round what with even Michael Stipe and Courtney Love getting together (!) for "Rio Grande" -- one of the more traditional-sounding contributions that outweigh, say, more "raw" cuts like Iggy Pop and Hawk and a Hacksaw's grisly take on "Asshole Rules the Navy".
Todd Rundgren, however, should be marooned for his take on one of the most wildly popular whaling chanteys, "Rolling Down to Old Maui" (made famous by the late great master of modern Canadian Maritime Folk, singer-songwriter Stan Rogers). His high-impact club-thumper of a pop dance pump-a-thon is the most heinous and unnecessary so-called interpretation of an enduring classic on the whole record. In fact, it's so abominable that I almost want it to work despite the sum of it's being jacked-up beyond all recognition because his is precisely the kind of yarn that makes this funky weave worth unraveling. Instead it seems that Todd is having a laugh, baiting the hook for nautical nerds everywhere only to violently yank our jowls out of our faces before we can fully gag on his electronic mutiny. [Dearest Todd, I love you and I know you've sort of "gone bamboo" of late what with your new tiki bar opening soon, but come on! Rather than pillage a classic when you should've pumped your bilge with a something a little more kitschy like the Sex Pistols did with "Friggin' in the Riggin'"] I'm just not into it.
Of all the artists that appear here there are some very lovely surprises like actress Anjelica Houston singing "Missus McGraw," Marianne Faithfull together with the McGarrigle Sisters on "Flandyke Shore," some long lost Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Inventiondoing an instrumental version of one my favorite old sea songs "The Handsome Cabin Boy" (check out Ewan MacColl & A. L. Lloyd's traditional recording on their albums The Black Ball Line (1957) and A Hundred Years Ago (1963) as well as the excellent Topic Sampler No 7 collection Sea Songs and Shanties) and even the rock n' roll pirate himself, the Depp, lends a loving hand on "The Mermaid" with Patti Smith and "Leaving of Liverpool" with Shane McGowan and first mate Gore Verbinski.
All in all, the savvy outweighs the sloppy with tracks like Dr John's rum-soaked "In Lure of the Tropics" drinking Macy Gray's reggae-toned "Off to Sea Once More" way, way under the ship's table in this NSFS (Not Safe For Starbucks) compilation. Other seaworthy notables include songs from Beth Orton, Robyn Hitchcock, Nick Cave (who previously stacked two tracks on the first Rogue's Gallery voyage), Sean Lennon paired with Jack Shit (also appearing again) as well as Akron/Family who this time around teamed up with New Orleans' gender-bending rap duo Sissy Bounce (Katey Red and Big Freedia) -- a triple threat balancing tamer teams of three like actor Tim Robbins with Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs singing "Marianne." In short, if you fancy lengthy compilations loaded with the promise of adventurous curiosities, maladjusted charm, sloppy oddities, and deviant beauty then avast ye matey -- this here's the swill for you.

Fans Rip Up, Burn One Direction Concert Tickets After Louis and Zayn Marijuana Video Leaks
While most fans have been supportive after the video of One Direction's Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson smoking marijuana leaked yesterday, others took the shocking discovery to heart. For the most part, those who disagreed with Louis and Zayn's decision simply expressed their opinions on Twitter or Facebook. But, in some extreme cases, a few Directioners went as far as ripping up and burning their concert tickets to the boys' upcoming Where We Are Tour shows. Um, WHAT?!
im not affiliated with this girl pic.twitter.com/B615TIskut
— paola (@mychemicaliam) May 28, 2014
As expected, these over-the-top measures have garnered some serious hate from other fans who think the people are being dramatic and were never true Directioners to begin with. One of the main arguments being presented is that instead of burning or ripping up their tickets, these girls could have sold or given them away to someone else who wasn't able to obtain the coveted pieces of paper. The excessive retweets, @replies and favorites proved to be too much for @gagationer, who ended up writing an apology TwitLonger:
"I apologize for tweeting that tweet. I was only joking because I was really bored. I didn't know it would get almost 300 retweets… I'm really really sorry for tweeting that. I'm sorry for broke up dreams of people who couldn't get tickets for the Where We Are Tour. I'm not proud of what I did today. If I could only turn back time… Things happen and they happen for a reason. I've learned my lesson. I won't do this more. I'm really sorry and I hope you all can understand me and forgive me."
How did YOU react after you saw the video? Are these fans being way too dramatic or are they justified in their reactions? Tell us what you think in the comments below!

So you may or may not remember the first time I made gnudi and it was a spectacular failure because I didn't add flour. After all my hard work getting the water out of the cheese and the spinach and making all the tiny balls of ricotta yumminess I watched in horror as they disintegrated about 2 seconds after hitting the boiling water. I managed to salvage the remaining batter, freeze it, and then use it as ravioli filling, so not a complete failure I guess. I have poked around online and seen the errors of my ways – needing flour – but haven't come across a compelling recipe until now. I have recently stumbled upon the Delicious Days blog which had this outstandingly easy recipe for gnudi (or ricotta gnocchi) and I tried it out yesterday. I am so freaking excited because not only was this easy but it was FAST too and something that can be modified in many ways to produce light pillows of ricotta fabulousness. Here is the recipe converted into US measure for those of you that don't have a kitchen scale:
1 cup ricotta
1/2 cup flour + a little extra for flouring work surface
1/3 cup parmesan
1 egg yolk
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley (I added this for extra flavor
I followed the recipe as outlined on the DD blog, so I highly recommend having a read through there first. I combined the ricotta, with the excess water poured out (but no need to wrap it in cheesecloth and drain), with the egg yolk, cheese, salt and parmesan. Stir well so all ingredients are combined. You should start your pot of salted water boiling so it is ready to go before you add the flour.
Add the flour and just stir enough so it is combined but do not try to knead it. The dough will be somewhat wet and sticky but should stick together just fine. Take a large spoonful and place it onto your floured work surface. Roll it out into a long finger-like roll and then cut into bit sized pieces like so:
Make sure you flour the surface you set them on so they are easy to remove. Once you have cut them all – and it's important to time this well – put them right into the boiling water. Give it a stir, and watch them float to the top. It took about 3 minutes for them all to float up. Remove with a slotted spoon and add your favorite sauce. I made a crudo tomato sauce using the following ingredients:
1 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 cloves of garlic
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
6-7 leaves of fresh basil
Take the garlic and cut it into smallish pieces, and saute it in the olive oil until it is light brown. Turn off the heat. Add the tomatoes to a bowl, pour over the hot oil and garlic, chopped basil and a pinch of salt to taste. Allow this mix to sit for about an hour or so – this allows the flavors to mingle. I placed the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute to heat it up before adding the gnudi.

Long time ago, When i played my rogue and mage, I used combat medic/ lifegiver in PVE, I was blamed for wasting a skill slot to deal damage. Then, they asked me to use pots instead.
But I see horn of renew is a must-have skill for every warrior in game/ forum.
Sorry for ignorant. Why dont they use pots to replace horn of renew? Even without invulnerability from HoR, a warrior can still survive from the attack of boss. You can taunt with other skills(windmill, CS ,AX,jugg). Is this skill really that important?

A history of hemp
Enjoy A Cup of Tea
while looking into America's past...
In its earliest industrial form, hemp represents a staple in American history.
This cash crop, ideal for creating everything from fabric to rope, had powers even our founding fathers recognized and benefited from. It would later become the fabric used to create the Declaration of Independence.
George Washington advocated for the growth of hemp and even grew hemp himself. He used it commonly as one of his three major cash crops at Mount Vernon. While leading a young nation Washington understood the necessity for such a useful plant.
Thomas Jefferson in his presidency also encountered the wonders of hemp when he traveled to france to trade the plant. At the height of its use in the 1760's, the growth of hemp in areas such as Virginia was in such high demand that it was possible to be jailed for not harvesting the crop.
In fact, hemp was considered legal tender up until the early 1800's.
Imagine paying taxes with hemp? From then until now, there has been no denying the strength and capability of this fruitful plant.
"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." -Thomas Jefferson
"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."- George Washington

text: I have a Quick question will not take long to answer . Now in theory this sounds good but not sure how it will work . First get blogger generator than get some nice quality articles about a Click bank product . Next have it link to your CB item for example how to avoid divorce . Than we create 1k blogger blogs and pump in our hop links with those quality articles . Next get Paid . What am I leaving out here ? Sounds too simple . As a rule of thumb is it sounds to simple that means you are not doing it right . But if that is the case than I would most definately buy blogger Generator just for that pupose as it would probably pay for itself within the first day . Assuming another theory of mine is correct that you actually recieve your affiliate earnings if you purchase a product using your hop link . = BG would only cost me 34 dollars . I read on Multiple streams of income wher it said to purcahse a product through your hop link before you promote it so that you can test it and give it an honest review . Well any ops would be nice .

On this day, I began my walk on a beach I hadn't visited in a while. It was a date etched in the minds and memories of all of us in America as a day the world changed for us forever.
Like that fateful morning, this morning was beautiful. The sky was blue with only a few wisps of clouds. Terns and gulls called overhead and in the water schools of small bait fish, most likely menhaden, were jumping and splashing below.
I remember going to the beach that day to get away from the news for a bit. It was so peaceful and quiet, it was hard to believe something so horrific and terrifying had happened just a few hundred miles away.
Also, on this morning people were beginning to return to their Florida homes to assess damage done by Hurricane Irma. Others are struggling to come to terms with massive flooding in Texas and in many areas out west, people were trying to escape the voracious wildfires that were consuming forests, homes and everything in between.
And there I was, contemplating a busy but normal day. There was something unsettling about enjoying the chittering of running sanderlings and the sparkle upon the water, knowing that elsewhere others were suffering.
As I watched a gull catch and then tear apart a spider crab that did its best to give the gull a fight, I thought about how different our realities can be, even in the same time and space. I suppose that somewhere someone is always going hungry while another takes its fill. One grieves the death of a loved one while another celebrates a new life being born.
Even our time is not the same from place to place. As my husband and I get up here in New England, his sister is finishing her dinner and thinking about retiring for the night down in Australia. All across the world some people are waking up while others are taking a lunch break and still others are done for the day.
A young osprey called from a rooftop as we walked down the road to get back to our cars. It seemed as if the older ospreys already left. This bird cried and cried and to no avail. It was on its own now. There were lots and lots of fish available, easy to catch even for a novice, but apparently that wasn't this bird's complaint. Most likely it was simply hoping another bird would answer, but it wasn't up to me to know
The rose hips were a lovely deep orangey red. A few ripe beach plums could be seen hiding behind some leaves. The Salicornia, also called beach or sea pickle was beginning to turn color, and the seaside goldenrod was in full bud all along the dune edges.
There were also hundreds, maybe thousands of horseshoe crab shells along the wrack line. At this time of year many people think that there has been a horseshoe crab die off and they worry. These are not dead animals, only their castoff shells. If you pick one up you can see where the animal moved right out of the shell, legs, gills and all.
For some reason fall is always a time of personal assessment and reflection for me. This summer was an odd one, for many reasons, and I know I am not alone in that thought. Many I have spoken to have felt the same way.
We are in a funny time and place these days. As different as we are, as different as our time zones, weather and challenges may be, we are still all pretty much the same. Like the birds, the rose hips and the spider crabs, we all have our places. Everyone and everything else has its place, too. Let's not forget.

INTERVIEW: Scandal's Tony Goldwyn tells us Fitz's new obsession — and it isn't Olivia Pope
In our exclusive interview, Scandal star, Tony Goldwyn, shares what fans can expect from Season 4 and how Fitz is doing in the wake of everything that happened last season.
In the Season 3 finale, Fitz's world was turned completely upside down in more ways than one. He discovered his wife was raped by his father, his son was killed and he won the presidential election. Which of these situations will hit Fitz the hardest when the show returns later this month? Goldwyn said it will be the death of his son that will most affect Fitz.
Scott Foley, shirtless, in a bed with puppies will get you excited for Scandal (VIDEO) >>
"That trumps everything," Goldwyn revealed. "The loss of a child is the worst thing anyone can possibly imagine and it will consume Fitz. He's obsessed about it and it's completely dominated his life."
Getting into that heavy headspace has been hard on the actor. "It's a lot, [having] that as your baseline in every circumstance," Goldwyn admitted about playing a father who has lost a son. "Jerry's this sort of character in every scene, whether he's a part of it or not. He's just a specter, as it is to those who've lost a child."
Jerry's death will also do something to Fitz that a lot of Olivia/Fitz shippers may not be happy to hear. "It diminishes the place that Olivia Pope occupies in his life, even though they're not together. She's not in his orbit."
OK, we understand that Fitz is going through some hard times, but ouch. The Scandal Season 4 trailer shows Fitz desperately trying to get a hold of Olivia, but she's apparently off on a beach (we assume) with Jake. If Olivia isn't in Fitz's orbit after Jerry's death, will that keep her farther away? Olivia has to return to D.C. at some point, but what will it take to get her off that beach?
Also, if Fitz isn't thinking about Olivia, could that mean that he and Mellie are in a better place? Not even close. "Fitz and Mellie are struggling profoundly with the death of their son," Goldwyn said. "Fitz has sort of managed to channel his grief and his energy into his work as president. So, we get even deeper into the transformed Fitz and Mellie relationship, which remains very complicated and very contradictory."
Scandal's Shonda Rhimes is just as excited as we are for Shondaland Thursdays >>
Well, it's almost comforting to know that nothing has changed between Fitz and Mellie, yet it's fairly obvious that things are going to continue to get more and more complicated for all the characters. The constantly changing story lines is something that Goldwyn loves about working on the series.
"The thing that I was worried about when starting to do a TV series is: At what point do you start repeating yourself? That just hasn't happened. [Scandal creator, Shonda Rhimes] is pursuing these characters and relationships and themes of the show constantly in new and shocking ways."
For three seasons, fans have fallen more and more in love with Fitz, despite the fact that he's not always a good guy. Goldwyn feels the same way about his alter ego. "The best part for me is the contrast in Fitz," Goldwyn revealed. "He's never one thing. At the point where he becomes sort of adorable, he then does something that's just completely reprehensible, and vice versa."
With everything that poor Fitz has been through recently, it would almost be nice if the president could snap his fingers and make his wish come true. What would Goldwyn wish for Fitz if he could? Hint: The answer shouldn't surprise any true Scandal fan.
"I know it's not going to happen," Goldwyn said with a laugh, "but I would like for him to be able to successfully persuade Olivia to commit to him. What he's been trying to do since the end of Season 1 and she keeps rejecting him. Fitz feels, and I would agree with him, that if they would just declare and commit, that they could be a very positive force in each other's lives and in the world."
Scandal's Kerry Washington on work, life as a new mom — and Fitz >>
After the short trip into a fantasy world, Goldwyn quickly came back down to earth. "I think probably the show would be over if that happened," he admitted. So, I say let's get back to the drama and the insanity.
If you need to catch up before the new season, you're in luck. Scandal: The Complete Third Season will be released on DVD Tuesday, Sept. 23. That's just in time to catch the Season 4 premiere when it airs on Thursday, Sept. 25.

We go to Jamaica at least once a year. It is truly one of my favorite places in the world. It's as beautiful as any place in the Caribbean and it's just a three hour flight from Newark so the kids don't get too cranky. When I want a little Caribbean Jerk and Rum Punch, a week in Jamaica is a no brainer. I've stayed at a number of properties on the island from Negril to Runaway Bay.
If it's your first time to JamRock you may be a bit shocked when you get off of the airplane. At first glance it's not the cleanest Island in the blue sea. The car ride from Montego Bay to either Ocho Rios or Negril has plenty of "unvacation" sites to see. However, when it comes to resorts -Jamaica has some of the most beautiful and cleanest resorts in the Caribbean. My Favorites are the Riu All-InclusiveResorts. All include the typical AI resort amenities like a gym, kids club, salon, small casino, and private beach but each Jamaican Riu has it own distinct personality.
A lot of all-inclusive hotels offer unlimited amounts of mediocre food and mid quality drinks. Riu-Negril is known as having some of the best all-inclusive cuisine on the Island. The Negril property is a "Club Riu" hotel which means that there is plenty to do and the atmosphere is very appropriate for both a family vacation or a romantic week with your sugar baby. This is my RIU choice for traveling with your kids. If you can handle the hour-and-a-half ride from the airport in Montego Bay, it will be well worth your trip. It's a big resort so make sure your diamond studded flip flops are comfortable. You may have a rather long walk to your room.
Riu, Montego Bayis a brand new resort. When I first arrived the staff was a little out of sorts. The service was not as accommodating as the Negril property because it's right in Montego Bay. It's crowded and compact, so wear your diamond studded flip flops all day if you want. True to all Riu hotels there is that perfectly placed mini-bar in your room that helps when you need to get away from it all. It's included in your all-inclusive plan. If your kids are with you, it's a short trip from the airport, but not as much to do on the property as in Negril.
To me, Ocho Rios is the cruise crew destination of the island. It's the side of the island that the cruise ships come into and allow anxious duty-free shoppers to disembark. Because of this Riu-Ocho Rios is the least crowded of the Riu hotels on the Island. A short cab ride away from port, hotel guests can go to the shopping village and get the same great deals as the cruise crew. It's a little more low key than Fabulous but it definitely works for a few day some R&R before you ramp back up to your Fabulous life.
If you're not really up to Fabulous but want a little more luxury instead, then you can head back to Negril to Riu Palace-Tropical Bay. It's not a "club" hotel so there is less party and more "plush". Definitely considered one of the best all-inclusives in the entire Caribbean, you get top shelf liquor and nightly turn down service. The crowd was a little too old for me and much too quiet, but it was definitely a more luxurious experience than at Ocho Rios with a similar crowd.

George Soros is no stranger to mud-slinging or innuendoes from conspiracy theorists who largely accuse him of being anti-Semitic. For a long time, right-wing supporters have woven all sorts of tales and concocted conclusions that paint the Hungarian-born philanthropist as anti-Israel. The latest reactions stem from a George Soros Wikileaks email dump from the Open Society Foundation. Some of the information in the emails indicates that some groups in Israel and Palestine got funding from Soros. The mission of said groups on politico.com is to watch out for actions by Israel forces that violate human rights. Looking at it objectively, such groups play a significant role in keeping governments in check, which is something that should be celebrated. Of course, pro-Israel supporters don't hold the same opinions.
The Open Society Foundation
Soros together with the Open Society Foundation has been victims of all types of propaganda from all corners. The Foundation is the brainchild of Soros and was founded in 1979 to move from communism. It now works to establish democracy and tolerance across different parts of the globe. Through Open Society, Soros played a huge role in bringing down Communism in the Eastern Bloc. Over the years, the foundation has opened offices in various regions of the world to promote the concept of open society and to help citizens who are unfairly treated. Any George Soros conspiracy tries to undermine his philanthropic work by attacking his objectives of promoting an open society.
Anti-Semitic Accusations
Another point of focus of the George Soros emails is his intentions to deal with Israel racist policies. Pro-Israel right-wing supporters are using that as a platform to present Soros as a hater of the white race with hidden agendas. It is not the first time George Soros has been a subject of malicious accusations. In 2010, Glen Beck, a popular right-wing pundit span a very intricate George Soros conspiracy where he expressed his exaggerated concern that the billionaire businessman was out to destroy America. With arguments laden with anti-Semitic slurs, he intimated that Soros hated the Jews and that he was the hidden force behind many a collapsed government.
It is believed that the hackers responsible for the George Soros WikiLeaks emails have connections to the Russian government, which has been quite vociferous against all things Soros. There is also concern that the George Soros emails aim to influence US elections since he is a larger contributor to the Clinton Campaign.
Soros, the Man
The business magnate who survived Hungary during the Holocaust by hiding in plain sight through the use of a fake identity has worked hard to make a difference in the world. Soros has obtained most of his money from currency speculation and stocks and often ranks top 50 of Forbes wealthiest people. Over the years, Soros has funded numerous foundations and groups that have been at the forefront of fighting dictatorship. Even amidst all the innuendos and suppositions, George Soros has remained unfazed by his detractors and continued to support societies that aim for change. He once wrote, "My success has given me a greater degree of independence than most people, and this allows me to take a stand on controversial issues; actually, it obliges me to do so because others cannot."

Another typical action/drama/thriller type film - this time Ben Affleck steps into the Jack Ryan role. This movie is perfectly drab - and it's not wonder he didn't take on the role again. It may tide you over if there's nothing else to watch, but otherwise it's perfectly natural to skip this.

Jack Ryan is a CIA analyst, who made a report of the possible candidate president Nemerov, who suddenly becomes the President of Russia. Anyways, some time back in the 70's a plane went down that was carrying a nuclear bomb, but the bomb never exploded. After so so many years it was found in the rubble in Israel. That bomb was then sold to a secret Nazi militia that wish to put Russia and America to war against each other. In comes in DCI Cabot, who takes Jack Ryan with him to Russia to inspect their nuclear bombs, but get suspicious when a few scientists are missing. As they return the President of USA heads for Baltimore to see a football game, but Ryan discovers a nuclear bomb is going to blow up there at the stadium.

The Ulster Heritage Magazine, which is a news section for the Ulster Heritage DNA Project, has been getting a lot of email requests and phone calls for information on Senator John McCain's ancestry. The level of interest has surprised me and our webmaster and my cousin, Jim McKane up in
. We did release a short statement which appeared in the Ulster Heritage Magazine concerning the Senator's paternal ancestry on 11 January 2008. Ontario, Canada
Jim and I have worked on the McCain family history for some 35 years very quietly; obviously the interest surrounding a presidential campaign has changed this. Getting emails and phone calls from Media powers that be suggests our quiet work has entered a new phase.
So, here is another presentation of the facts as we know them concerning Senator John McCain's paternal ancestry and how we obtained this knowledge.
Senator John McCain is a descendant of a McCain family that immigrated to the American Colonies from
circa 1719. The McCain family DNA Project started in September of 2003 and used Y chromosome DNA testing to confirm kinship and locate the branches of this family. In the course of the project the native Irish McCains were located. The McCains are native to Counties Donegal and Antrim originally, but are now dispersed and are also found in Counties Derry, Tyrone, and Ireland . Dublin
Senator John McCain did not participate in the DNA test, however around 35 of his cousins did, including several McCains from the Carroll County, Mississippi area. They are all a DNA match to each other and are all a match to the McCain families still in
, as well as to those throughout the Diaspora. Senator McCain's branch is called the Teoc McCains, after the little town in Carroll, Ireland where they lived during the period of their ascendancy. County Mississippi
There are several incorrect versions, or pseudo histories, about this McCain family floating around on the internet. The McCain families that had their kinship confirmed via DNA testing in Ireland, Canada, the UK, and the USA, have worked very closely with one another in the last few years to uncover their real history.
The basic and salient facts are the McCain family is from
Ireland and their cousins in have been located. Ireland
There is DNA evidence and enough primary sources to suggest the McCains were part of the traditional Gaelic society prior to 1600.

Most people are not familiar with Gaelic history, so I will offer this brief explanation. The McCain family DNA results revealed a paternal kinship with other Gaelic families active in
The McCains are a classic Gaelic patronymic clan. The Patriarch of the clan was named Eáin. The surname in Irish is spelled Mac Eáin which means 'son of Eáin.' In the Gaelic dialect in use in Argyll, the southern Isles, and parts of
, from the 15th Century onward, Eáin was a popular form of Eóin. Eáin is a loan word to Gaelic from the Latin Ioannes via the Aramaic and Hebrew y'hohanan, meaning 'Jehovah has favoured.' Ulster
An analysis of the DNA suggests this Patriarch lived circa 1350 to 1450 AD. The McCains were part of the older Gaelic order yet post mid 1600s many converted to the Presbyterian faith and took a leadership role in this community and yet other McCain families remained Catholic or Anglican.

If I can slip into the first person plural for a bit; we are very active, stay in touch with one another; we do travel to Ireland and hobnob with our Irish cousins, we love Guinness and are prone to enjoy ól, ceol, agus craic and the céilí is our chosen form of entertainment. The rumour now is for a McCain clan gathering in
in 2009. Ireland

With a median listing price of $74,000, Youngstown is Canada's 4994th most expensive when ordered by median listing price.
In Aug the median listed house price of $74,000 in Youngstown was relatively low compared to the rest of Alberta.
As one of Alberta's many potential real estate investment neighbourhoods, Youngstown needs to be carefully researched before investing in – and remember to check especially the locations within an area before spending - the old estate agent's mantra of location, location, location has never lost its importance.
It's always hard to tell what property prices will do over the coming months, but over the last three months the properties available for purchase in Youngstown have increased which would tend to indicate that demand is not as high as supply.
When it comes to the size of the properties currently available to property investors in this neighbourhood, they tend to have the average number of bedrooms than the most commonly available across the nation.
It's never an exact art, but to try to forecast how property is going to appreciate in Youngstown for investors, it's important to look at data like:
Because the amount of real estate listed for sale has stayed the same it looks like housing market forces in neighbourhood are likely to not necessarily affect house prices.

The teaching of digital skills in schools should be considered as equally important as maths and English, peers have warned, amid worries that the UK is falling behind in digital literacy.
The report by the cross-party Digital Skills Committee called for a major re-think of education and said that IT skills should be taught as a core subject. It also said that access to the Internet should be seen as a utility like water or electricity.
"This report is a wake-up call to whoever forms the next Government in May," Baroness Morgan, chair of the committee and former chair of Ofsted, said. "Digital is everywhere, with digital skills now seen as vital life skills. It's obvious, however, that we're not learning the right skills to meet our future needs."
Teachers are not confident enough or equipped to deliver the new computing curriculum, with action needed to help them get up to speed, the report found, and insisted no child should leave school without basic digital literacy.
"While we welcome the introduction of the computing curriculum, we are concerned about the ability of teachers to deliver it, with more than half of our IT teachers not having a post-A level qualification relevant to IT," Baroness Morgan said.
"At the higher education level, there is an urgent need for industry input, so that graduates are learning job-relevant digital skills."
An estimated 9.5 million people lack the basic understanding or level of digital skills and economists predict that 35 per cent of UK jobs could become automated in the next 20 years, raising concerns over the country's ability to maintain its "prosperous and influential" position globally.
The study also raised a red flag about the small number of women taking up digital studies, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, which it said is holding back UK competitiveness. Of 4,000 students doing computer science A-level, fewer than 100 were girls.
Part of the reason is because these careers "are seen as a 'boys club'", but also because career guidance needs reforming and more awareness should be raised about the broad range of careers on offer.
The chair of the committee said it was unacceptable that in some areas as many as 20 per cent of the population has never used the Internet.
"We are at a make-or-break point for the future of the UK – for its economy, its workforce and its people. We have a choice as a country about whether we seize this opportunity or whether we fall behind."

text: Does this 'annoy' anyone else? Why is it that the likes of Infinity Blade II receive an update to enable it to run full spec on the new iPad whilst remaining a universal app for both iPhone and iPad, yet Real Racing 2, FIFA 12, Asphalt 6, Plants vs Zombies (which I own for iPhone) all have "HD" versions for the iPad, yet leave the iPhone versions compatible with iPad, albeit it in the x2 mode. I've been gaming on iOS since the iPhone 3G and have a large selection of apps, but I grudge paying for the same game again when Epic/ChAIR have made it perfectly clear that an app can be universal and receive updates to either platform within the one app file. I've just got my new iPad but I really grudge giving EA another £4.99 for Real Racing 2 when I already bought it for the iPhone.

If anyone was paying attention, which they probably weren't after a few sips, all they needed to know about the Horse You Came In On revealed itself in the saloon's first hour of business.
That's when a silver-haired dude in a black hat rode a horse through the front door and up to the bar. And nobody minded.
It was Aug. 7, 1972, the waterfront streets of Fells Point weren't yet synonymous with bar-hopping, and Ken Piaskowski, a friend of the new saloon's owner, was happy to help.

While Interstate 95`s ``missing link`` has remained unfinished for more than a decade, construction of Palm Beach County`s final segment of I-95 has begun two weeks ahead of schedule.
``The contractor was ready to go on this project, so there was no reason to wait,`` said Ray Klein, Florida Department of Transportation I-95 program manager.
Work began Wednesday on a 4.2-mile section from Hood Road to Indiantown Road, including an interchange at Donald Ross Road west of Juno Beach. Completion is scheduled in a little more than two years.
Volker-Stevin Construction Inc. of Hialeah and J.W. Cheatem Inc. of Lake Worth are handling the $17.2 million project jointly.
The final link, a 2.2-mile segment east of Florida`s Turnpike in Martin County near Stuart, is scheduled to begin this weekend. That $8.3 million job has been given to Wiley N. Jackson Co. of Salem, Va.
Over the past 15 years, the I-95 ``missing link`` has been closing from the north, although it is generally defined as running from Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County to Palm Beach Gardens. In the past five years, it has been shortened south to Stuart.
When work on the Martin County project begins, the entire missing link will be under construction. Eleven segments of the 30-mile missing link remain unfinished. Ten of those segments, including the Palm Beach County project begun last week, already are under construction.
Until the entire link is opened, however, travelers going north of I-95 are advised to use Florida`s Turnpike from Palm Beach Gardens to Fort Pierce.
That is the closest point between a turnpike interchange and an I-95 interchange, said Barbara Sarff of the Department of Transportation`s District 4 office in Fort Lauderdale.

From the state of Washington, USA:
My nine year old daughter has had type 1 for two years and has been pumping for one year. Her Hba1c is 7.2%. She is in the 50th percentile for height and 75th for weight. This has been consistent throughout her life except a slow-down right at diagnosis. The problem is, she thinks she's fat. I've read about diabetic teens developing eating disorders. I'd like any recommendations you have as far as books she might read, etc. that might help her self-image and head off future problems. She forbids me to talk to her doctor about it.
Your child cannot forbid you to take an active role in her healthcare. I would advise you to speak with her physician and /or a therapist to intervene in this matter.
A book to read will not do the trick.
[Editor's comment: I agree with Craig. However, I would try to avoid alienating your daughter completely by trying to explore her thinking. Perhaps there are other issues and she is is just focusing on her perceived weight problem. The prepubertal years are difficult. As a child's body changes, she may have difficulty understanding the changes. If your diabetes team has a counselor or social worker, I would strongly recommend, as did Craig, that you consult with that person. Another trick might be to have your physician and/or nurse show your duaghter her growth pattern on a growth chart and discuss it. She might then be able to see that she is quite appropriate for her age. SS]

Purple Martins, Waxwings and More
There are two Purple Martin "houses" in East Quogue that I have been frequenting - they don't mind human presence (and in many ways depend on humans) and always seem to come back with awesome prey for their young ones. Below: Male Purple Martin with a Red Admiral Butterfly

El Salvador
Ok, so I've finally gotten my act together (and gotten some free time) to display the photos from my trip to El Salvador. I ended up with about 16 new species which was a little disappointing, but a washed out bridge meant we couldn't head to Parque Imposible which would have yielded many more. Ironically, the most diverse location was the first hotel (Hotel Presidente) in San Salvador which had some extensive gardens and backed up to a natural area. (Above and Below: Orange Chinned Parakeets)
If you are wondering what book I used to help me ID some of these unusual birds, I relied on The Birds of Costa Rica: A Field Guide. While not perfect for El Salvador which lies North of Costa Rica, many of the species overlap and I would have been lost without it!

Computational engineers will have extensive education in fundamental engineering and science, and advanced knowledge of mathematics, algorithms and computer languages. Because of the breadth and depth covered in the curriculum, graduating computational engineers will be capable of pursuing careers in a variety of fields, including energy, manufacturing, aerospace, health care, microelectronics and more.
The computer engineer designs a new computer.
The computer scientist develops the operating system and networking software for the computer.
The computational engineer uses the computer and math algorithms to solve physics-based equations to make predictions and simulate scenarios.
Computer science explores the science and theory of how computers work, formulating algorithms and designing programming languages. Computer engineering takes the foundation of electrical engineering and applies it specifically to computers, focusing on the design of hardware and software components. Computational engineering uses computers to solve engineering design problems important to a variety of industries.
The Bachelor of Science in Computational Engineering degree requires 122 hours. The chart below will give a general outline of the required curriculum and a suggested arrangement of the coursework based on prerequisites. It is strongly recommended students make an appointment with an Academic Advisor if there are any uncertainties or questions as to how their personal coursework will apply to the degree plan.
Undergraduate Catalogs are determined by the first semester a student enrolls at The University of Texas at Austin.

Can 'concierge medicine' improve primary care?
the Clinical Advisor take:
Too many patients, too few providers, and too much paperwork have fractured primary care in the United States, according to an article published in Medical Economics. Shifting traditional primary-care practices to direct primary care models may solve the 'primary-care crisis'.
"The crisis means that there are not enough primary-care [providers] today, and it will only get worse because students in medical school see the impact of the crisis and choose not to enter primary care as a result," explained author Stephen C. Schimpff, MD, former CEO of the University of Maryland Medical Center.
While insurers held reimbursement rates low, practice costs kept rising, and to keep the lights on, offices took on more patients per day. Schimpff estimates, with a practitioner that sees 25 patients per day, direct contact with the patient is around 8-12 minutes. "This is long enough for a simple problem but much too short for someone with a complex issue, or someone with multiple chronic diseases and taking multiple prescription medications," explained the author.
Direct primary care (DPC) is used in many forms and is sometimes called membership, retainer, or concierge medicine. "But in essence it means charging a flat rate by the month or year for all primary-care services," wrote Schimpff.
Despite being classified as health care for the wealthy, DPC can be affordable for working families. "When DPC is combined with a much less expensive high deductible health insurance policy, the savings for patients are substantial and the total costs of all care decline quite dramatically."
Movement from traditional practice to direct primary care has been slow and steady, according to Schimpff. To speed up the transition, the public needs to advocate for better primary care and demand political leaders, health-care providers, and insurers develop policies that support the growth of direct primary care.
"When the PCP has more time, care gets better, frustrations come down, satisfaction goes up and total costs come way down and, as an added bonus, many more students will select to become primary care [providers] thus resolving the PCP shortage," concluded Schimpff.
Direct primary care, or concierge care, increases time spent with individual patients and frees health-care providers from increasing practice costs.
concierge medicine
There is a crisis in the provision of primary care in the United States. If you are a patient, a primary care doctor, an insurer, an employer or a policy maker, this crisis is exceptionally important to you.
The crisis means that Americans do not get the level or quality of healthcare that they deserve and need. This crisis is the major reason that healt care in total is so expensive and why costs keep rising. This crisis needs to be fixed and fixed as quickly as possible. The solution is not too difficult.
What is this crisis? The fundamental problem is a flawed and non-sustainable business model that forces primary care doctors (PCPs) to care for too many patients and as a result not have the time they need to provide high level care. They need time to listen, time to think, time to give quality preventive care and time to coordinate care for those with complex chronic illnesses.
In other words, they need time to practice at the top of their profession, something they currently are unable to do fully.

With snow overnight and a rather harsh time cut-off on the second day, only eight of the twenty A Class teams were able to complete the course, but Iain Whiteside and Sam Hesling had a great weekend, coming in third. The B Class had a much better DNF rate, with Alex McVey and Liam Braby coming in second out of 23. Euan Boyd and Tom Bell were 10th out of 53 score teams. Mary's blog here. Results here.

The absence of man, the isolation of the islands of Mauritius, Rodrigues and
Reunion over millions of years have enabled a remarkable fauna and
flora to evolve there, undisturbed. This is often the case in
remote and isolated islands. The arrival of man and the
ensuing colonisation have had tremendous impacts on the native
wildlife, most of it being driven into extinction or on the edge
of it.
In 1976, the government set up a
Captive Breeding Programme with the help of international
organisations like the Jersey Wild Life Preservation Trust and
the World Centre for Birds of Prey of the USA. The Pink Pigeon
was the first bird to be bred in captivity and from 1977 to
1991, up to 225 such birds have been bred either in Mauritius
or in Europe and the USA.
Things were much more difficult
with the Kestrel and it is only in 1984 that the breeding
programme really became successful. From 1977 to 1991, 200
birds have been bred using various techniques like double
clutching of eggs in both the wild and in captivity,
artificial insemination and hand rearing of youngs hatched in
