Rend Collective Experiment ~ Music
2012-01-29 20:11:00 About a month ago I came across the Irish worship band “Rend Collective Experiment“. I really enjoyed the clip I had seen and found their latest album “Homemade Worship By Handmade People“. Their music picks me up when the day seems to unravel at work. I hope you will find time to check them out. ...

Being Irish
2011-11-26 07:25:00 Being Irish is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, and then on your way home grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab to sit on a Swedish sofa and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And most of all being suspicious of anything Foreign!!!. Oh and only in Ireland can yo
What or who killed all those Irish immigrants?
2011-04-14 22:16:00 Was it cholera or murder? Almost 60 Irish immigrants working on a railroad project near Philadelphia in the early 1880s died. Cholera was blamed, but some skulls found the site suggests that some were victims of awful violence. The Wall Street Journal tells the story. Very interesting....
Votes are In- Irish Times~ The St.Patrick's Day Win!
2011-03-23 03:02:00 As promised, after viewing the best hot spots for St. Patrick's Celebrations and Irish Pubs/Restaurants, the votes (ALL 3 OF THEM!) came in & Irish Times in Brookfield is where my shamrock landed. Martin Lynch, owner of Irish Times definitely kept to his word of a jammed pack, fun-filled, memorable day! There was no disappointment, with excellent food, fantastic drink specials, bagpipers, live music, and the ultimate dance party that ensued when DJ Andy got his beats pumping! The night was so incredible that I didn't get a change to document as much as planned. Here are just a few of the great pictures from the evening. To view more pictures, check out drink & food specials, or just learn...
Notre Dame Encounters Seminole Moment: FSU Eliminates Irish
2011-03-21 06:39:00 It wasn't supposed to end like this. And it most certainly wasn't supposed to end this early. The greatest regular season in a generation at Notre Dame, ended prematurely. Exceedingly prematurely as the #2 seed Fighting Irish, ranked #5 in the nation in the most recent national poll, didn't even reach the sweet sixteen. Ben Hansbrough, the reigning Big East player of the year, fouled out of his final collegiate game with 3:19 left. He had 18 points on 5-13 FG. Teammates embraced him at mid-court, and the fans gave him a standing ovation. It was the first ever ND-FSU meeting in college basketball, and the 'Noles ran away with it 71-57. Florida State is the nation's top defensive team,...
Chicago on How to be Irish
2011-03-16 15:08:00 It's not easy being green, especially for those who are not of Irish descent. With St. Patrick's Day approaching, it's widely accepted that everyone, Irish or not, is Irish on March 17th. So I thought I would go around and ask fellow Chicagoans how they are Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Let's just say that hilarity ensued. Enjoy! Previously: Why is the Chicago River Green....
A modern Irish-American-Jewish-and-Everything-Else family
2011-03-15 19:11:00 St. Patrick’s Day is here and I find myself thinking of my great-grandparents. Back in the 1800s, when they took a boat from County Mayo in Ireland to Pennsylvania, they also took quite a chance. They risked their lives to make a better one for their children and grandchildren. When they first arrived, my ancestors ...

The Irish are COMING!
2011-03-03 14:27:00 We are a mere fortnight from St Patrick's Day! I'm not one for corn beef and cabbage but I do like to drink. A Guinness is always just right or if you need an early morning pick me up an Irish Coffee, perhaps. I had my first one year's ago, long story short - dating girl in Ireland, invited over for dinner and Dad pulled out the Jameson and mom in her brogue suggested coffee! Apparently this was a big deal since Dad didn't just pull out the good whiskey for just anyone. I have no clue how to do one properly. Those that do make them, each has their own special style. Well in the spirit of practice makes...

An Irish Toast for New Year

Go Irish! Beat Facial Hair!
2010-10-16 05:29:00 Just before the Pittsburgh game last weekend, amidst the booze and hating on the Wannestache, we noticed somethign kind of odd about Kelly's season thus far. At the time, the Irish sat at 2-3, with wins over Boston College and Purdue. Now, what do BC and Purdue have in common, other than being terrible football teams and ND's supposed rivals? Both of their coaches have big bushy mustaches. Likewise, Michigan, Michigan State, and Stanford all feature a coach who isn't rocking a giant lip weasel.
Get to know the name of Fighting Irish wideout T.J. Jones
2010-09-12 00:46:00 Freshman wideout T.J. Jones was ranked the #20 freshman in the nation by Phil Steele. Last weekend, Jones became just the second Notre Dame freshman to record a receiving touchdown in a season opener (Michael Floyd, 2008 vs. San Diego State.) The five-yard touchdown reception with 10:20 left in the third quarter to gave Notre Dame a 20-3 lead. The TD catch was, obviously the first of his career. "A great win for our confidence under a new coach, and a new offense, a great morale builder for next week. We felt comfortable, and ready to play even though we only had a short time to learn these schemes," Jones said after his memorable debut game. Then against Michigan...
Irish Eyes
2010-09-03 19:25:00 I'm Irish myself, so the idea of a play set in a bar is obviously very appealing to me. Very cozy and intimate. And tales of the supernatural?! How very "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" Add to that the fact that "The Weir" is currently the top-rated show on theatreinchicago.com with great reviews from the Tribune, Sun-Times and Time Out, and taking a trip out to the performance space at the Irish American Heritage Center seems like a no-brainer.
Things I’ve learned from my Irish Catholic relatives
2010-05-18 21:10:00 First of all, I recognize the redundancy of the title. One of the first things I learned was that if you’re Irish, you’re Catholic. Protestants are of British descent. And you’re supposed to say that with a very sad look, as if you pity the poor limey bastard. What about Irish Jews and Buddhists and atheists? ...

2010-03-17 21:37:00 FUNNY IRISH FACES AND...WHY WE LOVE THEMThis column is dedicated to my parents, Bill and Barb Kelly, and all my friends at the Irish Heritage Center on Knox AvenueIt is said that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day and after a few beers (or more) it's true! But what is it about the Irish on St. Patrick's Day that makes everyone so giddy? So jolly? So happy? Being Southside Irish myself, I have an innate understanding of the mystique of everything Irish. Brought home as a baby from the hospital on St. Patrick's Day, my childhood in Beverly was filled to overflowing with the strains of "Danny Boy" and bulky, warm Irish knit sweaters and soda bread and more...

Irish Bishop resigns: Finally

A person who's studied the abuse crisis in the Church as I have, a little, will also realize that abuse occurs, tragically, anywhere authority intersects weakness, and especially where men encounter potential sexual victims (see links below). We all feel for the victims, and nobody is excusing misconduct, so lets get that out of the way. Now, what hurt the Church's reputation is the seeming lack of action on the part of the Church hierarchy- really, if you're a hierarchical institution, the people on top better be good. By not immediately dismissing bad priests and bishops, the Church gave the impression that it wasn't concerned about or that it even condoned what was going on. Christopher Hitchens jumps on the fact that Bernadin Law received an ...

Bank on the luck of the Irish?
2009-12-14 14:00:00 "The financial crisis was not kind to the Irish economic miracle," says Mark Skousen. Yet, in his sepcialty service, The Turnaround Alert, he sees upside in Bank of Ireland (NYSE: IRE)."In Ireland last year, GDP dropped 7.4%, unemployment hit 12.6%, prices fell at a 6.5% rate, the government deficit reached 15% of GDP, and the property market virtually collapsed. "Not surprisingly, the Irish banks teetered on bankruptcy. Fortunately, the Irish voted on Oct. 2 to affirm membership in the European Union (EU), which allowed the European Central Bank to step in and bail out five major Irish banks. "Of the five, the largest Irish bank is worth buying: Bank of Ireland has a $2.7 billion market value and trades at an 80% discount to tangible book value. That's an incredible margin of safety. "Before- the crisis began, the stock was selling for $100 a share, and has lost 90% of its value and canceled its annual dividend. "...

Irish Robbed With The Handball Felt Round The World
2009-11-19 19:21:00 If only sports in the United States were as important to the people of this country as they are around the world. It's difficult sometimes to understand what goes on outside our little bubble here in Chicago. We often times ignore anything else that is going on in professional sports in the US unless it effects our fantasy team or we are on a trip to the local sports book. We get so deeply invested in who's starting at left guard for the Bears on Sunday that our sports universe consists of just the Chicago sports scene. However while we discuss the Bulls playing the Lakers tonight, the rest of the world is crying foul over a foul. Not just...

Irish Joy
2009-08-04 21:12:00 I spent last weekend in a country house just outside Dublin, an international gathering hosted by the Irish Sri Chinmoy Centre. As always we were treated like kings and queens, or at least lords and ladies of the manor in this case. The bucolic scenes, the healthful feasts, the air full of sweet green aroma, were all welcome condiments to the staple of meditation, games and singing to which we all look forward at Joy Weekends. Pavitrata Taylor took some very classy photos as always, a larger selection of which you can see at Pavitrata.com. Joy Weekends are an integral part of life as a student Sri Chinmoy; a chance to get together with people from other Sri Chinmoy Centres, to share inspiration and a lot of fun.

You Could Learn a Thing or Two from the Irish
2009-03-17 02:47:00 Muslims, African-Americans, poor people, homosexuals and other targets of discrimination - listen up. Here’s how you beat bigotry with some style. How many of you are familiar with the story of the Irish? It ain’t about green beer (oh the horror), corned beef and cabbage. What is it about, you ask? What are we celebrating today? Check it. St. Patrick, ’tis himself, was a slave who managed to break free from bondage. Instead of forming a terrorist organization or right-wing talk show on WFLA, he devoted the rest of his life to ending slavery in all its forms. St. Patrick’s battles are similar to the battles his people took on after him and eventually overcame. Between 1641 and 1652, the English killed over half a million Irish and forced another 300,000 into slavery in order to take over the country. Oliver Cromwell’s army and band of thieves completed the occupation and yet, for three hundred years, Irish nationalism grew. It grows even today as the occupat...

Ballymaloe Irish Stew
2009-02-05 10:23:00 This is my third post for Debbie's Souper Sunday This month's theme for a German blog event is "Eintopf" one-pot, which means that all ingredients are cooked in one pot. Crockpots or slow cookers aren't very popular in Germany. You have to order crockpots via internet and there is no cookbook in German. Gabi a German author and food blogger decided to write a book about crockpot cooking in German and asked for recipe testers. I am one of those. Gabi wished for a lamb recipe . I adapted the recipe listed below for the crockpot and that was my submission for the German event. I changed the order of layers, the meat on top and adjusted the cooking times. My three teenaged gentlemen liked the result. Needless to say that I used slow cooked lamb stock. -=========REZKONV-Recipe - RezkonvSuite v1.4Title: Ballymaloe Irish StewCategories: StewYield: 4 to 6 Servings Ingredients 1.35kg Mutton or lamb chops, gigot or rack -- chops not less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick5medium Or 1...

Was nun genau in ein Irish Stew gehört, darüber diskutieren sogar die Iren. Darina Allen hat in ihrem Kochbuch "Irish Traditional Cooking" Rezepte mit und ohne Karotten, in Cork und Kerry gehören sie dazu. In Youghal sind sogar Perlgraupen im Stew. Ich habe die Version aus Ballymaloe im Slow Cooker gekocht. Drei strenge Testesser im Teenageralter haben das Rezept für gut befunden, der Gastesser hat sogar Nachschlag erbeten.
