The Fate Of The Children Of Lir
This haunting story has inspired Celtic jewelry makers for many years now as the swan theme embodies traditional Celtic designs and Celtic symbols.
A long time ago in ancient Ireland lived an Irish Chieftain named Lir. He was married to Aobh daughter of King Bodhbh (also called Bov the Red) of Lough Dergh. They had four beautiful children; Fionnula, Aodh, Fiachra and Conn. Unfortunately Aobh died giving birth and Lir was devastated with grief.
When King Bodhbh heard of Lir's loss he offered another one of his daughters to Lir in marriage. Lir choose Aoife as his new wife and stepmother to his children. At first, all when well with the marriage, Lir doted on his four children. Soon Aoife became intensely jealous of her stepchildren. She even pretended to be sick for a whole year in order to look for special attention. One day Aoife told the children that they we going with her to visit there Grandfather King Bodhbh, as they had done many times before. Along the way they stopped at Lough Dairbhreach (lake of the oaks) and Aoife ordered the children to wash themselves in the lough. Once they were in the water, Aoife cast a magic spell turning the four children of Lir into beautiful white swans. Fionnuala cursed her but implored her to put some limits on the spell. Aoife regretting what she had done agreed to allow them keep their beautiful singing voices. But the spell still imposed a harsh sentence on the swan children. They were to spend 300 years on Lough Dairbhreach, 300 years in the Straits of Moyle and the final 300 years at Erris. They spell would only be broken when they heard the first bells of Christianity and when a King from the north marries a Princess from the south.
When King Bodhbh found out what Aoife had done to the children of Lir, using a Druids rod he turned her into a "Witch of the air". As the legend goes Aoife still blows in the howling wind and her screams can be heard when a storm blows.
Over the years Lir and many others continued to visit the swan children. They listened to their enchanting, magical singing that was said to calm even the most savage beast.
Over the 900 years of the spell they faced extremely harsh weather conditions. Near the end they traveled to Inish Gluaire where they first heard the Christian bells and met a Christian missionary called St. Mochaomhog. They told him of their plight and that they were the children of Lir. At this time a King from the north King Lairgnean was due to wed Deach, a daughter of the southern Muster King. King Lairgnean had heard of the swan's lovely singing voices and wanted to give them to his wife as a wedding present. But while King Lairgnean was trying to capture the swans he touched one of them and the spell was broken. The swans turned back into their human form, but they were very old and
Withered looking. Fionnula the oldest asked St. Mochaomhog to baptize them and soon after they died. They were buried the same way they lived, together. Later that night St. Mochaomhog dreamed that he saw four beautiful white swans flying over the sea straight up to heaven.
This beautiful Celtic myth has inspired Irish gifts makers over the years to create wonderful works of art. Many Irish jewelry manufactures have incorporated the 4 swan theme into many stunning pieces of children of Lir jewelry.

The Gambler Review
This picture hit the theaters on April 8 1980 starring Kenny Rogers as Brady Hawks and Bruce Boxleitner as Billy Montana. Brady Hawks is seen riding across the country on bareback while Billy Montana is waiting in a train station because the train broke down and is being fixed. Therefore, Billy sits down next to a beautiful woman and tries to strike up a conversion. Billy is on his way to San Francisco to play in one of the biggest poker games ever. So Hawks rides into town, gets of his horse and tells the attendant that if he's not back in a week to sell his horse. While Billy's playing cards he gets accused of cheating. When one of the players goes to reach into his pockets, Brady gets to him first and pulls out the cowboy's hidden revolver. Brady tells Billy that he was cheating also, but he was better at it and that's why he didn't get caught. Therefore, Billy challenges Brady to a card game a partial dealer. Billy started the game with 0.00 dollars and it didn't take Brady long to take that away from him. It turns out that there was nothing wrong with the train after all. It seems the reason for the delay; the train was waiting for the train's owner Mr. Stobridge. While on the train, Brady pulls out a letter and starts to read it. Brady finds out from reading the letter that he has a son name Jeremiah that he never knew about and that he and his ma were in trouble. You see Jeremiah mom got herself involve with a bad man named Roof. So when Jeremiah is caught, he's taken to Roof where Roof ask him what's in the letter?

" You have to know when to hold 'em' ....... - Joel A. Henricks - Austin , Mn USA
I'll be honest. I haven't seen any of the gambler movies. I bought this for my step dad. He told me he enjoyed it a lot. Besides, I like westerns too. And any western with kenny rogers has to be good.
The sader but wiser woman for him? - R. Bagula - Lakeside, Ca United States
The confusion for me is what he won in the final confrontation?
The railroad gambling action is fun
and the saloon fights are pretty good too.
I think the theme song is maybe the best part of the movie.
Otherwise it is just another western that appears to be not all that well written? California and Arizona on the Southern Pacific Rail Road
after the 1860's wasn't owned by one man?
Anyway I liked the movie, but can't give it very high marks for plot.
What can one say - Sandra A. Snow - Ga
Kenny Rogers makes a great western person I have alot of his other one I bought this to add to my Western DVD collection

Paris Hilton: Love Her or Despise Her?
Who has the internet in a shark feeding frenzy for scandalous tapes? You may ask yourself, "is it Pamela Lee Anderson?" No, it is Paris Hilton or should I say "Paris the Heiress."
This party-hopping socialite definately has made a name for herself. From the online sex tapes, to the "House of Wax" she has become the queen of the internet. How long will it last? How long can we handle it?
Many seem to find her life amusing and her tv show the "Simple Life" raised a few eyebrows. Imagine having Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie coming to your house? It would be nice to see them doing dishes, laundry, and being maids.
The only thing that seems to give Paris Hilton the attention online are those sex tapes. I don't see an acting career for her or a television career. She might have a modeling career for anorexic girls that are rich.
Have you watched House of Wax? If you have, then you know she cannot act. She is attractive, but incredibly anorexic. I am sure there were people in the movie theatre, secretly cheering in their hearts, when a metal pole went through her head. I know why the killer did not aim at the body, because he would have missed it! It is hard to hit a target that is not there! Someone give her a ham sandwich!
Love her or despise her? This rich young woman does have a strong following and the tabloids eat up her antics. It may be hard to believe, but there are many die hard Paris Hilton fans that love her. I may never understand it, but it is good to know with enough money, you can build your own Egypt!
Imagine receiving a $3 Million dollar engagement ring and a new $12,000,000 dollar house! Her fiance is very generous and has left a good example for humanity. Now, if he will get her to eat some more food! Give her a ham sandwich!
I think in the horror movie The Fog, she would have had a fighting chance as a anorexic leper, on the boat that was consumed with fire. Here again, she would have been a victim and it might keep some of her loyal fans entertained.
Will Paris Hilton hit the silver screen again with her second-rate entertainment? I don't know about you, but I hope not. I will make sure I have a barf bag on hand if she does! Thanks to Paris Hilton, every actor that lacks talent has hope.
She can play a victim, as long as she does not talk and she leaves some thick clothes on, like maybe a snow suit!
Maybe someday, Paris Hilton will be over in a third world country feeding the children with Brad Pitt. Dreams do come true!

Quit Preaching! - John Petrucci - Yardley, PA
I have all the Family Guy DVD sets and have always enjoyed them. The sixth season is B.S.!! Very preachy! Yes, we know you like pot, don't like ex-president Bush and don't believe in god but I don't want your morals pushed on me all season. JUST SHUT UP AND BE FUNNY! I still watch the other seasons just not 6.

Staying on the Funny Side - Of Kitchen Gadgets
I'm a sucker for those "As Seen On TV" kitchen gadgets.
Show me a woman in a dated hairdo and a pantsuit, waving her hand over a seventy-five-piece plastic monogrammed food packaging and storage system, and my pulse starts to race.
Show me the whole family frolicking (is that still a word?) through the meadow with the dog and the handy dandy monogrammed food packaging carrying case on wheels with the drink holder and solar radio, and I'm diving for my credit card.
Tell me that for just an additional dollar, I can get a complete set of stainless steel knives guaranteed to cut steel and to outlive three generations, and it is no longer a want - no longer a need - it has become an I must have this or I will die - forget braces for Junior, Mamma needs a food storage system.
My husband tried to block the channel after I ordered him thirty-seven button-me-easy kits that promise to replace your button in thirty seconds without the need for needles or thread. He said it would have been a good idea, if most of his shirts had buttons.
It happens again yesterday. Just when I've barely recovered from the ramifications of ordering a lifetime supply of under-the-bed sweater organizers that emit a lilac scent - I see her white teeth and that familiar pantsuit, and I'm under her spell again. This time is different. This gadget is the king daddy of all gadgets - the Air Sucker 2000 - breaking all records in high tech kitchen gadgetry. Put your food in the bag, slide the bag through the sealer and it sucks all the air out of the bag and keeps it fresh for the rest of your life - just as fresh as the day you put it in. We're thinking of using it on Great Uncle Fred. You can seal pork chops, chicken, steak, salad, soup, and even a pint of your dog's blood should he ever need a transfusion. This would have been a handy thing to have when Uncle Skeeter cut off his toe with the weed whacker and we needed something to carry it in.
This is revolutionary. This will save us millions of dollars in wasted food. This, I have to have. I decide to order three - just in case they stop making them. "What are you doing?" my husband asks in an accusing tone as I'm reciting my credit card number to Susie who swears the Air Sucker 2000 changed her life. How does he do that? I have to yell for help four times when I super glue my foot into my new shoe (long story). It takes ten minutes for him to come to my aid when I get my hair caught in the drain (even longer story). We have a dead squirrel on the front porch for three days and he doesn't even notice. Pick up the phone to try and place a tiny little credit card order and it's like I blew a dog whistle.
I tell Susie to please hold, roll my eyes, and explain to my husband, while trying to be patient, that this is one of those necessary purchases. "You do NOT need that," he says, gritting his teeth. He should really learn to handle stress more effectively. "Yes. I do." "Like you needed the battery operated Bug-Be-Gone for the pool?" He can be quite sarcastic when he wants to be. "Hey, you said yourself that was good idea," I point out. "We don't have a pool!" he growls. I hang up the phone before Susie can call 911 to report domestic violence and follow my husband to the kitchen where he's standing with his arms crossed, wearing that look he gets when he's about to win an argument. Uh-oh.
"Open that cabinet," he barks. "Come on. Open it. And tell me what you see." I don't appreciate his tone. "Let's see," I murmur. "There's the green pepper spiraler....the vegetable blender with the pasta attachment...the six-speed juicer with the sleeve to hold the morning paper...oh, here's that cute serving tray with the ceramic pigs in bikinis on pool floats...and the pasta colander that turns into a centerpiece...and I'm not really sure exactly what this thing is..." My voice trails off as I crawl deeper into the cabinet. "What's that behind the silver-plated cake stand that sings happy birthday?" he asks while I drag out a dust-covered contraption and read the words on the side: Air Sucker 2000.
Suddenly it comes rushing back - November, two years ago. I still remember the day it came in the mail. I was so excited. I was convinced that this revolutionary item would change my life. I never could figure out how it worked. It was missing three pieces, wouldn't work on any speed but high, made an awful screeching noise, blew a fuse, and was wider than my counter top. I wrapped one piece of chicken (which is still in my freezer, thank you very much) and decided it wasn't worth the effort.
Okay, okay, so maybe my husband has a point. He's still a little mad. It's probably better that I don't tell him there are three more Air Suckers in the basement.

Family Guy Stewie - The Crazy Baby Everyone Loves
Stewart Gilligan Griffin (a.k.a. Stewie) is a fictional one year old character in the animated series called Family Guy. He is very sophisticated and has an advanced vocabulary. He is completely obsessed with world domination and also trying throughout the episodes to kill his mother, Lois because of the nine months he had to spend in her which he calls the "ovarian Bastille." Stewie has a brother named Chris and a sister named Meg, but also a half-brother which the Griffin family is unaware of named Bertram.
The voice of Stewie is done by Seth McFarlane in an English accent. It never seems awkward at all to the people in the show when Stewie seems to have firearms and and other such weapons. He even constructed secret passages in his bedroom that house all of his weapons as well as he built fighter-jets, robots, mind control devices, a time machine and such. What is funny to me is that it is hard to tell if the family actually hears Stewie talking because at some points they respond back to him and then at some times, when he talks about world domination or killing Lois, no one says anything back to him.
For example in an episode called "Mind Over Murder" Stewie says "victory is mine!" and then his mother Lois responds back with "Yes, and this cake is yours too." So obviously their are three ways you can look at it, either they ignore him, don't hear him, or don't take him seriously. In an episode called "Mr.Griffin Goes to Washington" Lois says, "My god, it all makes sense now. My baby is some kind of diabolical genius bent on world domination!" Stewie then replies back (clapping) Bravo, Lois. The last horse finally crosses the finish line. Which Louis then replies back with, "Stewie! All these months I should have paid attention to what you've said. You're an evil child. Why, why did I have to go and smoke pot when I was pregnant with you?" Being that Stewie is supposed to only be one years old and does not seem to age throughout the seasons he talks about things from way before his time as if he were there. He is such a sophisticated child, while on the other hand he loves child things. Rupert, which is his teddy bear is like a best friend to Stewie; Stewie talks to him as if he were a real person.
