Ross Perigoe and Mahmoud Eid, Misson Invisible: Race Religion and News at the Dawn of the 9/11 Era (UBC Press, 2014). Paperback, $34.95.00
Mission Invisible concerns itself with the media representation of Muslim communities immediately after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Written by the late Ross Perigoe, who taught journalism at Concordia University, and Mahmoud Eid, an associate professor at the Department of Communication at the University of Ottawa, it focuses on The Montreal Gazette—owned, at the time, by the CanWest Global media empire. It refers to the way in which the misrepresentation of Muslim communities in the Gazette has rendered their cultural and ideological diversity invisible.
According to Perigoe and Eid, the final grade for the Gazette's performance is an F, particularly in relation to demonstrating journalistic leadership. Perigoe and Eid argue that the job of journalists at the newspaper was to challenge racist ideologies and anti-Muslim moral panic that were strategically spread by politicians following the 9/11 attacks. Unfortunately, the Gazette's reporters failed in fulfilling basic journalistic duties to their readers by favouring the largely white voices of politicians and victims. Indeed, Perigoe and Eid find that the longest quotation from any Muslim person during the period of their study was from Osama Bin Laden's "Declaration of the World Islamic Front of Jihad against the Jews and the Crusaders."
According to the authors, the Gazette entertained its white readers, telling them what they wanted to know instead of what they needed to know, resulting in a racialized story of 9/11. From the first day after the events, the newspaper's reporters used racially charged words such as "Islamic fundamentalists" or "Barbarians"—a word employed five times during the 20 days of their study and always in reference to Muslims.
The Gazette's reporters further incited paranoia among readers by exaggerating the number of casualties of the attacks, prematurely declaring the death toll of the attack on the World Trade Center to be more than 6,000 (more than double the actual number of deaths) with no concrete evidence. They also relied on what the authors call "imaginative" narratives, such as the possible use of atomic bombs or the deployment of biological and chemical weapons by Islamic terrorists.
The examples of racially biased reporting are numerous, and they tell us a bigger story about similar patterns that reveal the state of Canadian journalism today. Perigoe and Eid argue that the Gazette's initial reaction to the 9/11 attacks reflects the deeply ingrained ideology of white elite racism in most North American (and transnational) media. This ideology not only reproduces the racist attitudes towards Muslim communities but more generally reinforces the institutionalization of systemic racism in Canadian society.
Mission Invisible is a valuable resource for both media scholars and journalists interested in the relationship between media and the spread of racist attitudes. The authors refer to various media analysis studies in (mainly) the North American context, as well as introducing user-friendly explanations of key theoretical concepts such as racialization, orientalism and white normativity.
This theoretical and empirical richness provides insights into journalists' important role in challenging the racially-charged rhetoric of politicians in times of crisis. Perioge and Eid also suggest new ethical practices for journalists along with a new "mission possible": making the invisible visible. New hiring practices are considered, with an eye toward addressing the disproportionately low employment of visible minorities in Canadian media.
But diversity in and of itself means nothing, the authors write, "if the people hired think precisely as elite whites do." Perigoe and Eid call on journalists to commit themselves to integrating anti-racist discourse into their writing, to ensure not only racial diversity in hiring but also the diversity of opinions and voices. As scholars of colour working on media and minority representation, we agree.
Ironically, one of the flaws with the book is what the authors themselves make invisible for the benefit of presenting a simple white vs. Muslim-Arab dichotomy. In a way, the emphasis on this binary throughout the book perpetuates the thinking that led to the invisibility of Muslims as faceless, homogenous others in the first place. We believe that it is crucial to unpack this binary by exploring how the attitudes of a diverse set of readers, who do not necessarily fall into one category or the other, are affected by racially biased reporting. But in general, the authors succeed in their mission of highlighting dangerous racial binaries in media coverage, while at the same time falling back too easily on those same binaries for the sake of a simple and compelling argument.

Home Page Chess Life Online 2008 October Kudrin Wins Western States
Kudrin Wins Western States
By Michael Aigner
GM Sergey Kudrin,
Photo Jennifer Shahade 2006
The 26th edition of the Western States Open attracted 252 players to the Sands Regency hotel and casino in Reno, Nevada. Despite a decrease in attendance due to the weak national economy, the tournament paid out about $26,000 in prizes (70% of the advertised target). Read my previous blog entry for background on the veritable chess festival that organizer Jerry Weikel and his staff put together each year. This report will focus on the chess games played over the weekend, concentrating on the 43-player Open section.
Congratulations to Grandmaster Sergey Kudrin for taking top honors all by himself. He efficiently scored 5.0 with four wins and two draws. Over the years, it has become an exception to see a sole winner at a large Swiss tournament, but Kudrin left no doubt by sitting on board 1 for the last four rounds. I am sure that the organizers were thrilled with Kudrin's victory, since he has attended the Western States Open for 15 of the past 17 years. In round 5, Kudrin outplayed GM Darmen Sadvakasov in an IQP middlegame from the Tarrasch French.
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 c5 4.exd5 exd5 5.Ngf3 Nc6 6.Bb5 Bd6 7.dxc5 Bxc5 8.0-0 Nge7 9.Nb3 Bd6
Position after 9...Bd6
In this main line, White chooses from a wide array of moves: Re1, Bg5, Nbd4 are popular while h3, Bd2 and Be3 have seen occasional success.
10.Re1 0-0 11.Bg5 a6 12.Bd3
Keeping the bishop pair.
12...Bg4 13.Bh4 h6
[13...Ne5 Wolfgang Uhlmann played this line three times in the mid 1980s, preferring 14.Nbd4 for Black. 14...Re8 15.h3 Bxf3 16.Nxf3 Nxd3 17.Qxd3 Qb6 18.Bxe7 Bxe7 19.Qxd5 Bc5 White won the isolated pawn, but Black's activity more than compensated for it. 20.Rxe8+ Rxe8 21.Rf1 Rd8 22.Qc4 h6 23.g3 Re8 24.Kg2 a5 25.Re1 Rxe1 26.Nxe1 Qc6+ 27.Nf3 g6 28.a4 Qd6 29.Qe4 Qd7 30.b3 b6 31.Ne5 Qe6 32.Qa8+ Kg7 33.Nd3 Qe2 34.Nxc5 bxc5 35.c4 Qd2 36.Qc6 Qd4 37.g4 Qe5 38.Qf3 Qd4 39.h4 g5 40.hxg5 hxg5 41.Qf5 f6 42.Qe6 Qd1 43.Qe7+ 1/2-1/2 Yudasin-Uhlmann/Leningrad 1984]
14.Bg3 Bc7 15.Bxc7 Qxc7 16.h3 Bh5 17.Be2
A slow maneuvering battle ensues. White wants to blockade the IQP with one or both knights while Black must find activity for his minor pieces.
17...Rfe8 18.c3 Qb6 19.Nfd4 Bg6 20.Bf1 a5 21.Nb5 a4 22.N3d4 Red8 23.Qd2 Nf5 24.Nxf5 Bxf5 25.Rad1
Position after 25.Rad1
White slowly builds up pressure on the weak pawn.
25...Bg6
Black has trouble finding reasonable moves. One possibility might be 25...Ra5 26.Qf4 (Not 26.Nd4 Nxd4 27.cxd4 and now both players have an IQP.) 26...Be6 27.Nc7 Qxb2 28.Nxe6 fxe6 29.Rxe6 Rf8 (29...Qxa2 30.Bd3 gives White too much play on the light squares, for example 30...Rf8 31.Bh7+ Kxh7 32.Qxf8 Oops!) 30.Qd2 Qxd2 31.Rxd2 Rc5 with equal chances.
26.Qe3 d4?!
Black tries to solve his problems by giving the IQP to White. But this strategy leaves White up a pawn.
27.cxd4 Nb4 28.Qc3 Nd5 29.Qc5 Qc6 30.Qa3 Qf6 31.Nc3 Qb6 32.Re5
Black's blockade of the isolated pawn look shaky because the White pieces have become too active.
32...Nf4 33.g3 Ne6 34.Nd5
Tempo!
34...Qd6 35.Ne7+
35...Kh7 36.Nxg6 Qxa3 37.bxa3 Kxg6 38.d5!
Position after 38.d5
The fundamental rule of playing with an IQP says that it gains in strength when it can move.
38...Kf6 39.Re4 Rd6 40.Rc4
White controls the open lines. It is a matter of time before Black loses another pawn.
40...Ra5 41.Bg2 Rc5 42.Rcc1 Rxc1 43.Rxc1 Nd4 44.Rc4 Nf5 45.Rxa4
Up two pawns, the rest is a matter of technique for GM Kudrin, the champion of the 2008 Western States Open.
45...Rd8 46.Be4 Nd6 47.Bc2 Re8 48.Kf1 g5 49.Rb4 Rc8 50.Bb3 Rc3 51.a4 Ke7 52.a5 f5 53.Ra4 h5 54.a6 bxa6 55.Rxa6 g4 56.hxg4 hxg4 57.Ke1 Rf3 58.Rb6 Kd7 59.Ba4+ Ke7 60.Rb3 Rxb3 61.Bxb3 Kf6 62.a4 Ke5 63.a5 1-0
The only two opponents who nicked Kudrin for draws finished half a point behind the winner. Kudos to journeyman GM Jaan Ehlvest and Los Angeles based GM Melik Khachiyan. They were joined in a three-way tie for second by one of America's strongest International Masters, Enrico Sevillano, also from Southern California. Ehlvest and Sevillano both scored three wins and three draws while Khachiyan recovered from an upset loss in round 2. In the next game, GM Ehlvest converts his more active pieces into a victory against Vinay Bhat, America's newest Grandmaster.
Ehlvest-Bhat, White to Move
At first glance, this position looks like a trivial draw. There are few pawns left and they are symmetric. A deeper look shows that Black has difficulty because of the activity of White's rook and knight.
43.Kg3 Rb6 44.b3 Nf6 45.Re7 Nh7
Perhaps 45...Nd5 was more active for Black. 46.Rd7 Nf6 47.Ra7 Nd5 Black's knight is quite pesky on d5.
46.Ne4 g5 47.Kf2 Kg6 48.Re5 f6 49.Re7
This seemingly obvious move carries a subtle threat: checkmate on g7 after White's knight hops to f5.
49...Nf8 50.Ng3 Rd6
The alternative 50...Ne6 leaves Black's pieces all tied up and they become prey to the White king. 51.Nf5 Rc6 52.Ke3 Rb6 53.Ke4 Ra6 54.Kd5.
51.Nf5 Rd7
Position after 51...Rd7
52.Re8
By rejecting the rook trade and gaining a tempo on the knight, White wins the b4 pawn.
52...Kf7 53.Rb8 Ng6 54.Rxb4 Ne5 55.Rd4 Ra7 56.Nd6+ Kg7 57.Ra4 Rd7 58.Ra6 Nd3+ 59.Ke3 Nb4 60.Nf5+ Kf7 61.Rd6 Rc7 62.Ke4
Here comes the king.
62...Rc3 63.Rd7+ Ke8 64.Re7+ Kd8 65.Re6 Rxb3 66.Nd4 Ra3 67.Rxf6
White is content to trade b3 for f6 because the g5 pawn will fall as well. The rest is technique.
67...Nd3 68.Kf5 Ra5+ 69.Kg6 Rd5 70.Ne6+ Ke7 71.Nxg5 Ne5+ 72.Kg7 Nxg4 73.Rf7+ Ke8 74.Ne6 Re5 75.fxg4 Rxe6 76.g5 1-0
Not all of the eight Grandmasters and five International Masters who traveled to the "Biggest Little City in the World" left with a share of one of the top prizes. A lengthy parade of upsets shook up the standings. Two young masters from the Southwest picked up a total of four wins against Grandmasters. I first met FM Daniel Rensch when he was a talented teenager at the 100th US Open in Reno in 1999. Nearly a decade later, he took on four straight Grandmasters, defeating Alexander Ivanov and Melik Khachiyan. On the other hand, NM John Bryant is still a teenager today. He picked up two scalps by playing fearlessly in complex positions with the black pieces, ironically against the same two Grandmasters: Khachiyan and Ivanov. Bryant also drew with GM Dashzeveg Sharavdorj and his stepfather, IM Sevillano before losing to GM Ehlvest in the money round.
When playing through these two games, I got the strong impression that these young men both will earn their IM titles in the near future.
Black carefully engineers a draw with his higher rated opponent by trading into an innocuous endgame. The game ends in victory after White refuses to accept the peaceful result. 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.e4 Nc6 5.Be2 d5 6.exd5 exd5 7.d4 Be7 Instead of capturing cxd4, Black continues to develop, preparing to castle while overprotecting his queen. 8.Be3 cxd4 9.Nxd4 Nxd4 10.Qxd4 dxc4 11.Qxd8+ Bxd8 12.Bxc4
The trades in the center lead to a symmetric pawn structure with no weaknesses. Black is still slightly worse because his bishops are less active, but after the queen trade, this imbalance means less.
12...0-0 13.0-0 Bd7 14.Rad1 a6 15.Nd5
Since the knights are coming off sooner or later, Black must decide which bishops to trade.
15...Bc6
15...Nxd5?! The immediate knight trade forces a trade of dark bishops. 16.Bxd5 Bb5 17.Rfe1 Ba5 18.Bd2 Bxd2 19.Rxd2 Rad8 20.Red1 Rd7 Black must babysit his queenside pawns and cannot easily trade the remaining bishops. In short, his position is solid, but passive.
16.Bb3 Nxd5!
The delayed knight trade forces the light bishops off the board.
17.Bxd5 Bxd5 18.Rxd5 Bf6
Now we see the difference. White loses a tempo to defend b2, allowing Black time to bring a rook to the center. This is a demonstration of active defense.
19.b3 Rfc8 20.g4 h6 21.Rfd1 Rc2
Activates rook.
22.a4 Rc3 23.R1d3 Rac8 24.Kg2 Kf8 25.Kf3 Rxd3 26.Rxd3 Ke7
Activates king.
27.Ke4 Rc2
Activates other rook.
28.h3 Rc6 29.f4 Bc3 30.f5 Bf6 31.b4 Rc4+ 32.Kd5 Rc3 33.Rxc3 Bxc3 34.b5 axb5 35.axb5 Kd7
Gains the opposition and denies White an entry square.
36.Bf4 Bf6 37.Be3 Bc3 38.Bc1 Bf6 39.Bd2 Bb2 40.Kc5 Be5 41.Kd5 Bb2 42.Bf4 Bf6 43.Be5 Bxe5 44.Kxe5 Kc7
Not falling for the trap 44...Ke7?? 45.f6+ gxf6+ 46.Kf5 b6 47.h4 Ke8 48.Kxf6 Kf8 with zugzwang.
45.Kd5 Kd7 46.Kc5 Kc7 47.h4 f6
This should be a simple draw. However, the Swiss tournament format sometimes requires a player to win at all cost. No doubt, Yermolinsky needed to win after yielding two draws in the first three rounds.
48.Kb4 Kd8 49.Kc4 Kc8 50.Kd4 Kd8 51.Kc5 Kc7
Both players triangulate, returning to the position after move 47, except it to Black's turn to move. Does this tempo give White a chance to win?
52.Kb4 Kd8 53.Ka5 Kc7 54.h5 Kd7 55.Kb6 Kc8
The critical moment. The game ends peacefully after Ka5 or Kc5.
56.Ka7??
Position after 56.Ka7
Ouch! Now Black wins because his king gets to the kingside one move faster.
56...Kc7 57.Ka8 Kb6 58.Kb8 Kxb5 59.Kxb7 Kc5 60.Kc7 Kd5 61.Kd7 Ke5 62.Ke7 Kf4 63.Kf7 Kxg4 64.Kg6
If 64.Kxg7 then 64...Kg5 is the only move that wins for Black.
64...Kf4 0-1
Alexander Ivanov-John Bryant, White to Move
Most chess players would be scared of the queen and bishop battery on the long diagonal. Not John Bryant!
25.Bb2 f6!
This is the only move that allows the queen to defend g7.
26.Bf3 Bg4 27.Qxf6 Kh7
Amazingly, Black's king doesn't get checkmated. However, the ensuing position with both kings exposed is so insane that Fritz has a heart attack.
28.f5?
White's problem is the check on either g4 or g8. A prophylaxis is called for. 28.Kf2! Bxf3 29.f5 Threat is Qg6 mate. 29...Rg8 30.Re1 Rae8 31.Re6 Rxe6 32.dxe6 Qe8 33.Kxf3 and the connected passers will prove decisive.
28...Bxf5 29.Kh1 Re3?
The silicon oracle suggests gaining tempo with 29...Rf8 30.Qc3 Rae8
30.Rg1!
Now the threat is Rg7+ with mate to follow.
31.Bxg4?
White has a beautiful retreat to crush the resistance. After 31.Bd1!! Black cannot play Bxd1 due to threats on the g-file and has no useful way to block Bc2+. Didn't I say this game was crazy?! 31...Re5 32.Bc2+ Kg8 33.Bxe5 dxe5 34.h3 and White wins.
31...hxg4 32.Bc1 Rh3 33.Bf4 Re8 34.Bxd6 Rf3
Despite his exposed king, Black is able to make threats and hold the balance in the game.
35.Bf4 Qg7 36.Qxg7+ Kxg7 37.Rxg4+ Kf6 38.Bg3?
After 38.Kg2 Rc3 39.Kf2 White's king is far more active than in the game, e.g. preventing Re2.
38...Re2 39.Kg1 Rxa2 40.b4 Rb3
Time control has finally been reached. Both White's king and extra pawns are dying and the end is merely a matter of time and technique.
41.Rf4+ Kg5 42.Rf1 Rd3 43.d6 Rb2 44.c5 Rxb4 45.Rf8 Rb2 46.Bf2 a5 47.Ra8 a4 48.Ra5 Kg4 49.Rxa4+ Kf3 50.Be1 Rb1 51.Kf1 Re3 0-1
As one of the few big tournaments in the Pacific time zone, the Western States Open offers the rare opportunity for improving players young and old to show their mettle. Two Northern California teenagers earned experience and rating points. In the first round, NM Steven Zierk (2252) extended his life-long undefeated streak against Grandmasters to three games (all drawn) against GM Alex Yermolinsky. Expert Rohan Agarwal (2173) scored 50% against five masters, including a draw against IM Vladimir Mezentsev. Agarwal is a devotee of tactical opening gambits such as 2.b4 against the Sicilian, as FM Michael Langer found out in round 4.
You don't always have to be young to succeed at chess. Veteran Glenn Bady (2188) flew into Reno from Philadelphia and went home with victories against GM Sharavdorj and IM Salvijus Bercys, plus a draw with IM Mezentsev. Against the Grandmaster, Bady won an exchange and calmly took it to the bank.
On a personal note, I finished the tournament at 50%. That's an accomplishment, considering that my wheelchair broke down on Friday night and I wasn't even sure that I could play at all! Thanks to all my friends and fans for their help and good vibes. Sadly, the quality of my games left something to be desired. I also wished to meet new opponents when I travel out of state, but instead I was paired against five familiar faces from Northern California. Sigh!
I will close with the final position of my last round game against teenager Rohan Agarwal. It wasn't my best effort and I deserved to lose. The win, however, was not so obvious. My young opponent, too eager to draw with a master, didn't look hard enough at the tactics. Too bad, Agarwal's rating ended up at 2196 and he would have broken 2200 by solving this puzzle!

Get ready for the time-honored fall tradition of picking pumpkins. Here are our favorite spots across the country.
The Great Pumpkin Farm, Clarence, N.Y.
Come for the pumpkin picking, but stay for the scarecrow-making, pumpkin slingshots, mummy wrapping, and of course, the Cackling-Hen Revue. Every weekend in the fall there's something new at The Great Pumpkin Farm, whether it's a pumpkin pie eating competition, live music or the tasty barbecue at the Oinktoberfest. The hot pumpkin and apple cider donuts are also a favorite on the weekends.
Take a hayride out to the pumpkin field to pick your perfect pumpkin right off the vine. Located one hour from Chicago, plan to spend the entire day at Siegel's Cottonwood Farm to explore the 15-acre corn maze, climb the tire mountain, ring the bell at the top of the climbing wall and take selfies on the eight-foot wooden rocking chair. Little ones will love the baby chick nursery and the petting zoo.
At Tom Thumb Pumpkin Patch, more than 90,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash come together to create Pumpkin Village. Kids will love the hay bale maze and scavenger hunts, as well as Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage. Located inside the Dallas Arboretum, take time to identify different pumpkin varieties as part of the Great Pumpkin Search.
One look at the farm map for Vala's Pumpkin Patch and you may think you're at an amusement park rather than a pumpkin farm. There are 50+ attractions, including Graveyard Golf and Stalk Cars, as well as multiple live shows, like the Pigtucky Derby Pig Races. You won't leave hungry either; from hand-dipped corn dogs to caramel apples to s'mores over a campfire, you're covered at Vala's Pumpkin Patch.
This family-owned farm is one of the leading growers of pumpkins, so you won't be disappointed by the pumpkin selection at Pumpkin Hollow. You'll also find Arkansas's first cornfield maze, as well as a double zip line, pedal tractors and a kids' barn where children can grind corn and learn about local crops. Don't leave without sampling the pumpkin pie or pumpkin roll from the Weenie Wag'n.
You'll find more than 30 varieties of pumpkins across the 20-acre pumpkin patch at Craven Farm, so regardless of your "pumpkin personality," you're bound to find a perfect match. Explore the 15-acre corn maze, then sport a pair of 3-D glasses for the Pumpkin Adventure. On weekends, enjoy a hayride, sling pumpkins to hit targets and enjoy storybook scenes re-created with painted pumpkins.
Pick your pumpkins, ride around on pedal cars and take a corn bath before getting lost in the world's largest corn maze (as certified by Guinness World Records) at Cool Patch Pumpkins. At 60 acres, you may want to bring a snack before entering the corn maze. Fortunately, you'll find made-to-order sandwiches and pumpkin pie, even lemonade and pumpkin-spice lattes, to hold you over until you exit the maze.
Papa's Pumpkin Patch, Bismarck, N.D.
Whether you're content simply picking pumpkins or you want to spend a few hours climbing a pile of tires and shooting a pumpkin cannon, Papa's Pumpkin Patch is the place to be. There are lots of free activities at the pumpkin patch, like a hay bale maze, and many more activities for a small fee, like horse-drawn hayrides, zip lines and corn cob slingshots. Take selfies with the kids in the 15-foot Great Pumpkin's Chair.
Known as the "World Pumpkin Capital," Half Moon Bay boasts multiple pick-your-own pumpkin patches, as well as the annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. Keep your eyes open for a five-ton pumpkin sculpture, a parade, a pie-eating contest and a pumpkin fun run along Coastside Trail. As a bonus, kids will love the inflatables just down the road at 4-C's Pumpkin Patch.
At Jumbo's Pumpkin Patch, you'll find a 30-acre pick-your-own pumpkin patch, a 15-acre corn maze, hay rides, a petting zoo and a huge playground. Kids will also love face painting and pony rides on the weekends. There's almost too much to do at Jumbo's so plan on at least a half-day to explore this working family farm and take a look at the arts and crafts created by dozens of local artisans.
Named one of the top five pumpkin patches in the South, Lucky Ladd Farms sits about 45 minutes from Nashville. Prepared to be amazed at the variety of shapes and colors at their annual Pumpkin Festival. In between picking time, take a bite out of some tasty fall treats like pumpkin-spice donuts, kettle corn and gourmet caramel apples. Give the kids a chance to roam around the massive playgrounds and petting zoos, and join in on the fun through the tractor-pulled wagon rides.

Fils-Aime: Zelda Wii needs to be "perfect"
By Johnny Cullen, Tuesday, 12 January 2010 15:21 GMT
Nintendo of America president Reggie has said in an interview with Nintendo Week (via CVG) that the new Zelda in development for the Wii must be "perfect".
He said: "Right now it's still in development but the key message that Mr Aonuma and Mr Miyamoto are telling us is that it really has to be perfect when it launches. That is what the fans are expecting.
"So for all the Zelda fans out there right now, I'd say enjoy Spirit Tracks and know that the Zelda title for Wii is going to come out when it's perfect," he further added.
Last week, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed that the game will see a release this year.

MACCLESFIELD Town goalkeeper Alan Fettis has no doubts teenager Tim Deasy has what it takes to become a top shot-stopper.
Brian Horton's decision to release experienced understudy Steve Wilson, who has now joined Tranmere, at the end of last season, has thrust Deasy into the spotlight.
But Fettis has been impressed with the 19-year-old in training and expects him to provide stiff competition for the No1 shirt.
Fettis, 34, said: "Time will tell. You never know with young players how they will go until they play but what I do know is he is superb in training.
And the former Northern Ireland international reckons the youngster's potential makes up for the disappointment of Wilson's departure.
Wilson was back-up to Fettis at both Hull and Macclesfield, and the Silkmen keeper believes Tranmere boss Brian Little has pulled off a coup by landing the 31-year-old.
He added: "I was really disappointed to see Willo leave, but I'm delighted that he's fixed up at Tranmere.

Bhadas4Media: Hindi media watchdog that thrives on guts and gossip – Newslaundry
Posted on December 7, 2022 by shankar kumar thakur
The first time Yashwant Singh was paid to write was in the 1990s. A hormonal revolutionary with the All India Students' Association, or AISA, the student wing of the Communist Party of India Marxist-Leninist, he had been sent to the Banaras Hindu University to propagandise for the party. "I wrote an article about how disputes were settled in villages," he said. "And had given the example of my uncle, the arbiter in our village, who would favour the party that gave him more meat and alcohol."
It was published in Saras Salil, a Hindi fortnightly whose commentary was as social as it was sexual, and Singh earned Rs 250 from it. "I got a call from my uncle a few days later," he recalled. "He said if I come home, he'll break my bones."
It is no surprise that a man who once publicly lambasted his family now openly castigates his fraternity. For 13 years, Singh, now 49, has been the editor of Bhadas4Media, or angst against media, a news website that tells the inside stories of India's Hindi newsrooms – tales of eccentric editors, nosy owners and broke reporters. In his modest apartment in a Greater Noida society, Singh shows off statistics from the website backend: in May 2022, it had 2.9 million impressions – number of pages visited by users – and more than 86,000 unique visitors.
Yashwant Singh, the founding editor of Bhadas4Media.
The Hindi language market is the most dominant news market in India. According to the Office of Registrar of Newspapers, in 2020-2021, Hindi publications sold nearly 19 crore copies on a publishing day on average, cornering a thumping 49 percent of the total market. Its closest competitor, English, stood at 9 percent. The Hindi news genre enjoys a similar grab on TV – 43 percent of the news market, according to a 2018 estimate by the Broadcast Audience Research Council, or BARC.
Bhadas exists within this thriving industry as a bare knuckled troublemaker. In the last few months, it leaked the alleged audio of an advertising official at Dainik Bhaskar haranguing a client for ads, reported on an FIR against Amar Ujala and Dainik Jagran for writing about an alleged "sex CD" of a Bharatiya Janata Party politician, broke the story of a woman who attempted suicide after allegedly facing harassment from a Bharat Samachar journalist and wrote about the high-profile editorial shuffling in the UP editions of Ujala.
Such scoops have had consequences. Singh claims that there are 56 cases against the website. In 2012, he spent 68 days in an Uttar Pradesh prison after facing charges of harassment and intimidation from a fellow journalist. For him, it was because of "the combined efforts of influential journalists he had pissed off". That year, Bhadas was also restrained by the Delhi High Court for lampooning one Nirmal Baba, who had asked his disciples to eat masala dosa to overcome misery.
Bhadas, says its website, "sheds light on the good and bad in the media, represents the plight of the ordinary journalists, and brings out the stories censored by the mainstream corporate media". But it did not begin with any such ambitions.
Bhadas was conceived in the Noida newsroom of the Hindi daily Dainik Jagran in 2008, where Singh was employed at the time. "It emerged as a Hindi community blog in an era when editors thought they were overlords," Singh mused. "A Hindi journalist was treated like a second-class citizen in the industry. The blog allowed members, usually journalists, to join and write anything. The posts often turned abusive, but it slowly became a vent for professional frustrations."
Today, Singh says he has a contact in every Hindi newsroom in North India. If an editor abuses a reporter in a newsroom in Ranchi, or a journalist is unfairly let go by her bureau in Bhopal, the news eventually travels to Singh and then to his website.
"For the long time, Bhadas was the only website where Hindi journalists could read about the state of their own industry," Om Thanvi, a seasoned editor, told Newslaundry. "It monitored the Hindi media and knew its character, and so did its readers."
"I know stringers and reporters who, when they face problems at work, want to reach out to Bhadas," said Saurabh Sharma, an independent journalist based in Lucknow. "The website has become a voice for a class of journalists who did not have a voice earlier."
From Ghazipur to Greater Noida
Born in Ghazipur in eastern UP, Singh comes from a family of army officers. Like most young men from the region, he wanted to join the Indian Administrative Service as a student, and showed promising signs. But a drive to be "another Bhagat Singh" overtook him in his early 20s and he instead joined the leftist student circles like AISA.
It was at AISA that Singh met Gopal Rai, then an activist at Lucknow University and now Aam Aadmi Party minister in the Delhi government. "Rai was part of the Anna movement and I had access to him," Singh said, "Bhadas used to cover the movement regularly, almost doing his branding. That provided an early boost to the website's readership."
Singh's leftist training took him and Bhadas to agitations to protect the rights of mediapersons, like the protests following mass layoffs at CNN-IBN in 2012, or the fraternity's call for higher wages for journalists. "I wanted to keep activism alive," he said. "And that's why Bhadas became a cooperative of Hindi journalists."
But Singh's love for the pen was as well known as his love for the pint. The Bhadas editor does not pretend to hide his drinking habit. In fact, whiskey and soda make regular cameos on the website's social media during the editor's cocktail hours. "There are days when the website has no posts," Singh remarked wryly. "Those are the days when I've had two drinks too many."
But Singh lost his first job because of Bhadas, not Bagpiper. When he began blogging, Jagran, India's biggest selling daily, did not take a charitable view. For one, the blog gave ample space to anti-Jagran opinion. "It was a big mess," Singh said. "In 2009, they fired me, and to make it worse, no one would hire me because of the blog's reputation."
As Singh's Jagran gig went kaput, he quit journalism after 12 years in the profession. He joined a company that sold scratch cards to godmen but paid better. But the journalistic vein still throbbed. So for a paltry Rs 3,500, the journalist-turned-salesman registered the domain name www.bhadas4media.com on WordPress and resumed writing after work. It was inspired by Exchange4Media, a news website that reports on media and marketing in India. In the same year, Singh quit the marketing job and returned to journalism.
Advertising, donations and other favours
On any day, Bhadas publishes at least five articles, but it can go up to 10. The writing is quintessentially irreverent, often derisive, but not strictly journalistic – often there are poems, like on environment, or a sleazy piece on the private life of a politician, or even a job opening. The Bhadas4Media YouTube channel, with nearly 2 lakh subscribers, can be more erratic, with videos of Singh swimming in the Ganges or cooking his favourite pakode.
According to Singh, the entire operation is low-maintenance. "At any point, the Bhadas bank account has no more than Rs 30,000," he explained. "It takes Rs 10,000 a month for the website's technical maintenance and the rest for the journalism."
The founding editor claims that the website is largely sustained on crowdfunding, but two senior journalists underwrite most of the donations. "I can't reveal their names but they believe in the work Bhadas does," Singh said. "Even my iPhone and touch laptop is a gift from them."
A decade ago, advertising revenue was adequate to run the website. In fact, Bhadas got its first ad worth Rs 2,000 in the year of its inception. It was from Radio Misty, a Bengali FM station.
Singh is candid about favours that might raise eyebrows. In 2009, for instance, an editor from Amar Ujala set up a meeting between Singh and Ram Vilas Paswan, the late Bihar politician who was then the steel minister. "The editor told Paswanji that I was a well known journalist who ran a website and needed funds," Singh recalled. "By the end of the meeting, Paswanji pledged Rs 3 lakh to Bhadas over six months in ads from the Steel Authority of India Limited."
Some journalism, some gossip
If a reader heads to Bhadas expecting rigorously cross-checked reporting, she might be disappointed. In many ways, the website still operates as a blog. Stories on media organisations or journalists often have no pretence of balance and seemingly rely on a single source.
Journalist Saurabh Sharma told Newslaundry that Bhadas only has "half-veracity". "A lot of content on Bhadas is gossip in the media – which journalist is married to whom or which anchor is being poached by which channel," Sharma said. "A good amount of it seems to have been published without due diligence. But then a good amount of it is also authentic."
In July 2020, a Bhadas report alleged that the news channel ETV Bharat had turned into a "corona hotspot" because of nearly 20 Covid cases in its newsroom. Days later, the channel served a legal notice to the website, calling the report "false", "baseless" and "without any manner of verification or authentication". In a reply drafted a week later, Bhadas told ETV that it stood by the report and had "duly verified" the information "with individuals working at the establishment". Ultimately, the channel, which wanted Rs 1.4 crore in damages, did not pursue the matter in court.
Asked about the quality of his work, Singh said that he had developed the habit of cross-checking his stories only in the last few years. "I don't want to be dragged to court anymore," he smiled, "so now I'm good at seeking comments. But if I publish 100 stories, I know 99 of them are factual."
Thanvi offered a reason why the website could not operate with the quality of a newsroom. "Bhadas seems to lack varied stuff because it lacks resources," he said. "It does not have a substantial editorial team with its own reporters and copy editors. It is mostly Yashwant's sole efforts. That it survived despite the crunch means it is a considerable success."
Despite reservations, Sharma believes that Bhadas is taken seriously in the Hindi speaking region. "The website has become a voice for a class of journalists who did not have a voice earlier," he said. "For example, when journalists are not paid on time by their publications or channels, it is Bhadas that takes the lead in publishing the story, and as a result, they receive their wages."
Thanvi lauds the website for taking a "progressive" and not a "communal" line on major media issues. Sometimes they lack certain discipline, for example the Delhi press club elections. But the big picture, he adds, is that Bhadas filled a vacuum in the Hindi media. "The problem with the Hindi media is this that it's controlled very tightly by its owners," he said. "And Bhadas has not been able to influence anything on that level. But it has had an impact on the news desk or field employees by making their concerns or grievances public. It's good that they always took the side of working journalists, and not the owners."

Q: Treating dot symbols as a username string in url The url forwards to the right page, but on the page it gives a 404 error when the username has a dot. Is there a way to handle this, or should I forward to ID instead? What is the proper way to do this?
url.py
url(r'profile/(?P<username>[-\w.]+)$', views.get_user_profile, name='user_profile'),

views.py
def get_user_profile(request, username):
    user = User.objects.get(username=username)
    render (request, 'pages/user_profile.html', {"user":user})

A: In your urls.py:
url(r'profile/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)$', views.get_user_profile, name='user_profile)

in views:
def get_user_profile(request, pk):
    user = User.objects.get(pk=pk)
    render (request, 'pages/user_profile.html', {"user":user})

The alternative would be to send the username as a get parameter:
www.yourapp.com?username=abc
Then in views:
def get_user_profile(request):
    username = request.GET.get('username')
    user = User.objects.get(username=username)  # need to catch error if not found
    render (request, 'pages/user_profile.html', {"user":user})

4. What motivates you to stay committed to a healthy lifestyle?
In thinking about this question, a common thread that I find in my blogs and comments comes to mind: I want to be healthy so that I can DO THINGS and be active for the next phase of my life. That empty nester/mother-in-law/(gasp) grandmother/proud mom of successful children/and loving-aging-wife.
Guess it is that middle age thing creeping to the forefront. I think back over the past 15 years and I just cannot believe how much time has passed and the incredible effort it takes to be a supportive loving wife and supporting, nurturing parent(s) to 4 children - Exhausting. It was so easy to put all of that 1st. No regrets.
NOW - I want to come alive and take the remaining great years head on. To do this I need to get my mind and body in a good place. Energy and ability combined with passion, adventure and compassion are my building blocks to the future.
Could keep going -but my Motivation is kicking in and I need to get outside on this lovely Fall Day!
" Energy and ability combined with passion, adventure and compassion are my building blocks to the future. "
thanks for posting this very inspirational post!

So, here's to savoring the next phase! And you are right---we want to be healthy!

A Gathering of Ravens by Scott Oden
Tuesday, August 15, 2017 Fletcher Vredenburgh Comments 3 comments
To you, I am orcneas. To the Dane, I am skraelingr. The blasted Irish would name me fomorach," Grimnir said, then smote his breast with one black-nailed fist. "But I am kaunr! Do you understand now?"
Grimnir from A Gathering of Ravens
You know me: I'm the guy who reads mostly old swords & sorcery novels and short stories. Aside from a few by Milton Davis and P.C. Hodgell, I haven't read many new S&S novels. My experience with contemporary fantasy novels has been mostly… disappointing.
I'm also a guy who is on record as disliking the utilization of orcs in modern fantasy. In the works of their creator, J.R.R. Tolkien, orcs are perversions of elves created by Middle-earth's satan figure, Melkor. In modern fantasy they've become little more than woefully misunderstood warriors — basically fantasy Klingons. So, when Scott Oden sent me a copy of his latest book, A Gathering of Ravens (2017), and I learned its protagonist was an orc, my hopes weren't high. Well, Oden's novel knocked the heck out of any prejudices I had. New or old, this book kicks ass, and is one of the best swords & sorcery novels I've read in a while.
Grimnir, the last of his race, lives on the Danish island of Sjaelland, dreaming of revenge against Bjarki Half-Dane, the man who killed his brother, Hrungnir. His desire to cleave his enemy with his trusty seax (a old Germanic sword), leads him from Denmark to England, and finally to the field of Clontarf, in Ireland.
Etain is a young woman, disguised as a man, bound for Roskilde to evangelize the Danes. After a bloody run-in with Grimnir, she finds herself bound to him and forced to act as his guide across the British Isles in search of his prey. With no recourse but to stay by his side, she follows him into the mystic heart of Yggdrasil, the world tree, traveling through time and space. The mismatched pair, devout Christian woman and resoundingly pagan monster, face off against numerous supernatural and mundane foes before reaching the book's rousing conclusion on a field outside of Dubhlinn. Their story lets up only a few times, but those calmer passages serve to allow magical creatures or armies the time to marshall their forces for the next burst of violence.
So what made me love this book so dang much? Well, foremost, Grimnir. With this betaloned, vengeance-obsessed orc, Oden has created an anti-hero worthy of standing beside Karl Edward Wagner's Kane. Grimnir is a brutal killer, reveling in his lethal talents, and always with an eye on how to outwit anyone standing in his way. He is completely unapologetic and unashamed of his brutal nature. Only once does he falter in his self-centered ways, and even then, he has no problem in appealing to an ancient power for aid that leads directly to the death of hundreds.
The Shepherd of the Hills said nothing for a long moment; when it did speak, its voice was subdued. "What aid do you seek, son of Balegyr?"
Grimnir surged to his feet. "Shake the bones of Ymir! Call up whatever sorcery remains to you and crack open that cursed stone city! Topple its blasted walls and send your spirits to guide me. I will bring Hrothmund to you, and at the same time recover what he stole from me!"
"And the innocents who will die?"
"Innocents? Have they not turned from you and embraced your enemy, the Nailed God? Have they not burned your groves and wrecked your stones? Do they not hunt the last of your followers? Innocents? Faugh!"
His singled-minded pursuit of Bjarki Half-Dane is almost laudable. Bjarki himself is a vicious killer and schemer, presently rousing the kingdoms of Dubhlinn and Leinster to rebel against the Irish High King. His death at Grimnir's hand seems a warranted goal. Of course, Grimnir's brother Hrungnir is also know as Grendel, and his death was no great loss to the world. By the nature of his doggedness and contempt for the forces arrayed against him, Grimnir is a villainous soul who manages to stand out in a world trembling under the assault of legions of villainous souls.
Etain is as enthralling a character as Grimnir. Much of her time is spent reacting to the magical world that exists just outside the normal world; one she has been taught is either imaginary or, at best, a remnant of devilish, pagan times. Underlying Grimnir's ferocious trek is the struggle between the setting sun of the pagan world of banshees, forest spirits, and Tuatha de Danann, and the rising sun of Christianity. Oden's handling of her efforts to believe in and understand this new world, and her eventual acceptance of it while never losing her faith, is nuanced and well done. She may not cross the stage of A Gathering of Ravens trailing blood and fire like Grimnir, but her resilience and sharp intelligence make Etain a more than worthy co-protagonist.
I've written about the Northern Thing. The phrase was coined by W.H. Auden when he was referring to Tolkien's love of the myths of the Germanic peoples (Germans, Anglo-Saxons, Norse). It's come to mean the whole panoply of Nordic gods, elves, dwarves, giants and dragons, set in a universe that's fated to end in fiery destruction where even the divine powers will be destroyed. Oden clearly lives and breathes the Northern Thing, and brings the world of Northern Europe at around the beginning of the 11th century to dark and glorious life. He has his own distinct story to tell, but into it he has woven the strands of great legends and heroes — Beowulf, Brian Boru, Grendel — seamlessly. I've griped a lot about authors falling back on Nordic tropes too often and not exploring other cultures for their stories. The thing is, Nordic is what I love most. Reading A Gathering of Ravens, I realized my problem is that most writers working the Northern Thing just don't do it well. Oden tells a story that feels lifted straight from the sagas and eddas. Oden's use of an orc succeeds so powerfully because he grounds Grimnir in the dark stories of bent and fanged monsters raging at all of creation. This book is a masterful achievement.
I know Scott (online) and like him. But I haven't read any of his other books. This is my first taste of his writing and it's killer. From the first appearance of Grimnir to the final showdown at Clontarf, the pace never lets up. With an intimate and detailed knowledge of the history and legends of Northern Europe, he has told a tale that lives and breathes "that Northern Thing." You can smell the surf, the heath, and sense the sidhe lurking just beyond your field of vision. Oden writes in clean, clear prose, never letting his characters get crushed under the weight of bad archaisms or ruined by inappropriate modern speech. A Gathering of Ravens belongs on the same shelf as the best modern swords & sorcery novels, and on the shelf of any serious swords & sorcery reader.

Thanks, Fletcher! Glad you liked it, and glad I could bring you into the "Orcs are cool!" camp 🙂

Much like you, I felt there was very little "real" S&S being published today by mainstream publishers, but a fair amount of inde and online stuff can be found. AGOR changes all that with kick ass S&S available from traditional publishers. Scott's historical fiction works are excellent, and The Lion of Cairo mixed history with fantasy elements, but AGOR is a grand-slam home run. If you liked this, you must check out his other works, because they are solid reading with the essence of Robert E Howard in the mix. And the best news; more Grimnir in the works!

This book is the perfect old school S&S written as a modern novel.

Sustainable forest management and conservation are essential to preserving forests for the future. For students to make this connection, first their teachers need to understand the issues too. The Pacific Education Institute seeks to elevate and enrich the link between people and forests, by working directly with teachers who work with students. This project will deepen the integration of forestry education for existing and in-training K-12 teachers. As the leading organization in Washington providing field-based science, technology, education and math (STEM) professional development for teachers, the Pacific Education Institute is ideally positioned to encourage educators to explore the links between forestry and STEM-connected education.
Project outcomes will be shared with school districts, the SFI Washington State Implementation Committee (SIC), Project Learning Tree, and other partner organizations, including universities. In addition, SFI and PLT will highlight this project is an example of SIC-PLT collaboration opportunities, and ensure information is shared broadly with all SFI Implementation Committees and state PLT network members.
This project relates most closely to two of SFI's specific focal areas: training and educating current and future practitioners who are engaged in actions affecting our forests; and supporting teachers in engaging and educating youth to encourage understanding, appreciation and hands-on interaction with the natural world.
The Pacific Education Institute will provide high-quality PLT training to student teachers at several Washington universities. Project Learning Tree, an SFI program, is an award-winning environmental education program designed for teachers and other educators, parents, and community leaders working with youth from preschool through grade 12. The Pacific Education Institute will also work with Green Diamond Resources in Mason County, an SFI Program Participant, as well as all fifth‑grade teachers in the county to facilitate a PLT training and a tour of Green Diamond's forests, which are certified to SFI. The project will include SFI certification practices and awareness in forestry tours.
The Pacific Education Institute works closely with the Shelton School District where the focus for fifth grade is forests and where each year they use the institute's Forest Benefits and Forest Management lessons. This project will broaden and deepen the understanding of how to use PLT in tandem with an SIC-member-hosted field experience. Once this project is complete, the Pacific Education Institute will work with the SFI Washington State Implementation Committee to identify other landowners who wish to do this work locally with their schools.
SFI and STEM education about sustainable forest practices.
The Pacific Education Institute expands students' opportunities to learn in outdoor settings throughout Washington State. Students apply math, science, the arts, and social studies skills to field investigations both out-of-doors and in their classrooms. The institute's rigorous research-based approach assures that students are learning by doing.

Over 400 calls answered by fire services, says chief
The Clarence-Rockland fire department was kept quite busy in 2018.
Francis Racine, EAP
"In 2018, we did over 400 calls," explained Fire Chief Brian Wilson. "It's a marginal increase." The City's firefighters were equally busy in 2019, responding to a whooping 40 calls in January.
The latter outlined that the growing amount of calls is driven by both population and traffic increases.
The subject of calls came up during the February 20 council meeting, as councilors crunched up the last numbers in order to adopt the 2019 budget. The fire service was seeking $310,000 for part time wages, an amount which didn't sit too well with Ward five councilor André J. Lalonde. "To me, (the $310,000) it's inflated," he said. "We gave the fire services $285 000 last year."
Wilson explained that the fact that council decided to hire four more volunteer fire fighters as well as a rising cost of life was to blame for the increase.
The chief also explained that trying to determine who will actually show up to calls is always a guess. "The cost of fighting fires fluctuates every year," he said. "We have a lower number of volunteers coming to calls. A lot of them work in Ottawa."
The 2019 was approved, with the City's fire service receiving the $310,000 that was asked for.
Who should be cleaning snow from hydrants?
Council praised a recent contest initiated by the local fire services in order to encourage citizens to clean off fire hydrants. "I love the initiative," said Ward 4 councilor Don Bouchard.
Although results of the contest were considered positive by Chief Wilson, the matter of who should be cleaning the hydrants was hotly debated by council. "If you go for a walk in some areas of the City, you will see that some hydrants haven't been cleaned," said Bouchard, who claimed having cleaned off a hydrant located on one of his constituent's property.
"All the hydrants were cleaned off prior to the recent snow storm," replied Desjardins. "I think you're exaggerating, Mr. Bouchard." The councilor pointed to the fact that hydrants are considered city property. "We spend millions for new fire halls, yet we can't clean off hydrants," he said.
According to Wilson, the fire service is tasked with "(calling) a contractor when there's a good amount of snow." The chief also outlined that some municipalities have bylaws that force citizens to clean hydrants located on their property. Not doing so results in the said citizen receiving a fine. "The way we're doing it right now is reasonable," Wilson added. "It's not perfect, but it works."

This is book 4 in the DCI Greco series but it works very well as a stand-alone.
As Greco and his team search for clues and start putting the pieces together something is not working out in Stephen's mind. Can his gut instinct be relied upon given the personal problems he is fighting with in his mind? All the clues point to one person but is that too easy? When the drugs team from another branch try stealing the case the team are on a mission to solve the murders before they have to hand it over.
The main characters are Greco and Grace as we learn more about their characters. There is a very human element to Helen's books that bring the characters to life. I am waiting for the next book to see how Greco and Grace handle the fall out from their relationship.

Chris Evans's Avengers: EndGame Confession
OMG April 26, 2019 By Hugo
In the lead-up to Avengers: EndGame, the star-studded cast has been doing tons of press and one of the stories that stood out more than most was Chris Evans's crying confession!
Shutterstock/BAKOUNINE
Yes, the brawny hardman is human too, as he admitted when speaking to Variety at the Los Angeles Convention Center. "I have a lot of my friends and family here tonight, and a lot of them are right up here.
"We have this bond that transcends what we do for a living... I cried like six times [tonight]."
Not to be outdone, Chris Hemsworth then admitted that he cried on six separate occasions while Mark Ruffalo warned fans that they would 'grieve' after watching the long-awaited Marvel blockbuster.
The three-hour movie has been met with rave reviews by critics, with Erik Davis from Fandango describing it as a "masterful epic.
On his Twitter page, he wrote,
"Avengers: Endgame is a masterful epic - a true culmination of 22 films that not only concludes the story but expands upon it. You'll learn more about the other movies while this one unfolds. If Infinity War is the brawn, Endgame is the brains. And wow, what an ending!
"Do not go in expecting Infinity War part two. The two films are so different, yet complement each other in all the best ways. In terms of which MCU movie to watch beforehand... honestly, all of them. What an experience - what an accomplishment.
"Not going to spoil anything at all, but I will say I laughed, I cried, I cried, I cheered, I laughed, I cried again and then the entire audience gave it a massive standing ovation. And then I cried again. Be ready, kids. Be. Ready."
Are you excited to see Avengers: Endgame? Have you seen it already?
Let us know what you thought of it in the comments below.

TheGenealogist launches Irish records containing nearly a million individuals
15th October, 2021 Family History, Latest News, New Records, TheGenealogist Family History Research , Irish Family History , Irish Genealogy , Irish Parish Records , Irish Records
TheGenealogist has just released records of baptisms, marriages and burials from Wexford Catholic Parish Records and new Dublin Will and Grant Books to provide a valuable resource for those researching Irish ancestry.
The Dublin wills are from the Deputy Keeper Of Ireland, Index To The Act or Grant Books, and To Original Wills, of The Diocese Of Dublin 1272 -1858 (26th, 30th, and 31st Report) and cover an area that is bigger than the current County of Dublin as the diocese included a sizeable part of County Wicklow, some substantial parts of southern and eastern County Kildare, as well as smaller portions of Counties Carlow, Laois (Queen's County) and Wexford.
The Wexford Parish records, which are being released at the same time, have been newly transcribed by TheGenealogist and also benefit from their SmartSearch that enables subscribers to look for the parent's potential marriage records from baptism records and also potential siblings. Each result also has a link to view the registers on the National Library of Ireland's website should the researcher wish to see an image of the actual page of the Catholic parish register.
This new release, now available to all Gold and Diamond subscribers of TheGenealogist will be a useful resource for those researchers who wish to find out more about their Irish ancestors.
Read TheGenealogist's article: George Harrison's Wexford ancestors found in the Irish Parish Records https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/featuredarticles/2021/george-harrisons-wexford-ancestors-found-in-the-irish-parish-records-1473/
TheGenealogist expands its Irish coverage
02nd July, 2021 Family History, Latest News, New Records, TheGenealogist Family History Research , Irish Family History , Irish Genealogy , Irish Parish Records
TheGenealogist has just added more than 327,300 individuals to their Irish Catholic Parish Record Collection, along with a suite of Thom's Official Directories covering Great Britain and Ireland.
These new Catholic Parish Registers have links to the original images. They cover the County of Carlow in the southeast region of Ireland.
Before civil registration was introduced in two stages into Ireland, first in 1845 for non Roman Catholic marriages and then in 1864 for all births, marriages and deaths, the parish registers of the various denominations were the main records in which Irish ancestors' vital events would have been recorded. The Roman Catholic church was far the largest denomination in Ireland and so it is these records that the majority of Irish forebears will mostly appear within.
Carlow Castle in County Carlow, Ireland
Also released at this time are Thom's Official Directories covering the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from Victorian times up to the 20th century. These records are great for discovering more about the towns and areas, finding the names of people who held official municipal or government offices, or were professionals such as doctors, clergy, etc.
You can use these books to find Irish businesses from manufacturers of Ales and Agricultural implements to makers of Woolens and Yarns. Thom's directories allow you to find business advertisements as well as search for tradespeople from Auctioneers and Blacksmiths to Watchmakers and Wine & Spirit Dealers for all parts of Ireland.
The directories released in this package include:
Thom's Official Directory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, 1859
These expand the Irish directories already in our collection
This release of Irish records joins those of the Irish Wills, recently made available on TheGenealogist, and so expands the coverage of Irish records on this family history site renowned for its comprehensive search facilities.

You all know by now I have great things to say about Karina dresses! I was asked to choose a dress from their Fall line and I knew the Ruby was a fantastic choice! I have a Ruby style ( faux wrap) dress in another print, and fell in love with this gorgeous burgundy floral print with hints of pumpkin, pine green and pink.
This day we went to Corckscrew at Birkdale, a wine bar where my husband and I like to kick back and enjoy the day. Very puppy friendly, Gibson and Truffles feel right at home with other pups out on the patio. I decided to do a shoot near there before we ate/drank.
I never get tired of burgundy. It is one of those Fall colors that goes with so much and yet, I can still be creative with colors. This dress, as all of Karina dresses is wrinkle free, so I will be taking it to my nephew's wedding when we stay in Asheville with the family in a large house for a week. Can't wait.
Another transition to Fall outfit, this dress will later be worn with my new plum Jambu shoes as well as some booties I look forward to wearing. Nothing says Fall like patterned tights, so I look forward to also incorporating those into my Fall outfits.
FALL florals are on trend ( as they were last year) and the darker palette makes it Fall ready! The Ruby is a wonderful style, one of top 3 favorites as it has 3/4 length sleeves for cooler weather and is a faux wrap style dress. I could live in this dress! As school is now beginning, I wish I would have known about Karina dresses when I was a teacher. They would have been great to wear to the classroom, with no ironing and wash and wear. Easy dressing when you are in a hurry in the morning!
c/o Karina Dress– The ruby. * c/o this dress was gifted to me by Karina Dresses. All opinions in this post are my own.
TIME FOR TURNING HEADS TUESDAY! I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR POSTS AND GETTING INSPIRED BY YOUR FASHION!

Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. This color looks stunning on you!
I always love the palettes you choose and this is no exception. I've been wondering why there is so little brown in this year's fall fashion offerings, so I'm glad to see you're wearing it. You know I adore vintage brooches, so I'm obviously on board with those too.
I love the Ruby, and the print of your dress is so pretty! Looking fabulous!
Burgundy is a super colour on you Jess and the sprinkling of complimentary colours gives you so much creativity to play with. I love the double brooch idea – they work so well together. And those pooches of yours are so cute, they're the ultimate accessories!
Love the fall colors in this dress! Your necklace really brings out the green!
You look so cute Jess!!
I love the colours and the print of this dress, it's perfect for fall. Your green necklace and brooches compliment it beautifully. Very elegant shoes too!
Loving all the colors you've been wearing these last few weeks, and this dress is so beautiful on you!
Oh my goodness, this one is calling my name! My favorite neutral color after black. You look stunning in this dress!
Jess, what a beautifully put together look. The color, the florals, the necklace, the shoes…and the length of the dress is so flattering!! Thanks for the link up!
I'm digging this look, lady- sooo good for early fall! And that necklace works so well with it!
You look fabulous in that color and crossover style dress. A floral pattern in that color palette is perfect for Fall and your accessories were an excellent choice. You will surely be "turning heads" with this look. Thanks for sharing and the link up.
This dress looks amazing on you! Love the dark floral, perfect for Fall!
Hi Jess! I'm finally able to shot fashion again after breaking my elbow! Woop! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that dress so much. The color and style is perfection.
Jess, this is so gorgeous! I love the colors in the dress especially that little hint of green! So pretty. And those shoes are magnificent!
This dress looks amazing on you! Love the color and print for fall too!
Having an easy dress like this would be perfect for teaching. Or really almost anything!! It looks incredible on you Jess, and I love how you added the brooch!
This dress is gorgeous and looks absolutely beautiful on you! It is perfect for fall!
Great dress on you, Jess and I love the way you accessorized it! Thanks for the link up and have a wonderful week.
Gorgeous dress, Jess! I love the green accessories that just pop. As always you look stunning! Have a great week!
Oh that is an absolutely beautiful dress! Love the style, colour and print. I think this is my favourite outfit of yours ever! It's a shame faux wrap dresses don't work for me (I'm petite and they usually don't sit at the right spot) or I'd be buying this!
WOW, Jess, this dress looks amazing on you! And I love your handbag and the necklace as well.
Gorgeous color on you! Love the accessories!
Your Karina dress collection is so beautiful and the emerald accessories spot on! LOVE!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous on you! I love the autumnal colours of it too. Gorgeous!
Gawd-zooks Jess…. you're a knock-out in this dress!
Those pins are to die for (have you got your Mum to thank for those?).
You look elegant yet flirty and girly and I love your accessorising.
Beautiful dress and, as always, interesting accessories!
