Women

It's been ages since I've visited blogspot and it's beean ages since anyone else visited. Big deal. I just desided to pop in cause I've suddenly had an idea, a post idea I mean. But before I begin: I'm still ill, not getting better, getting bored, not getting fresh air, getting more bored, getting cheered up when somebody calls me and tells all fresh gossip I missed, getting fatter(seriously, how can I entertain myself?! Reading, watching tv, doing math, drawing and eating of course! Thats my problem: when I'm nervous I eat, when I'm tired I eat, I eat even when I'm bored...! Oh god, help me!!!). Thats it. End of story. Nothing interesting so far. And far beyond. Boring, isn't it...?

Ok, now back to the studio. Just had an idea to post some background info on women I admire. Not in every way of course. I mean, I can't agree with Constance, but still I admire her. The same with everybody else. Ok, here it is.

Countess Constance Markievicz

Countess Constance Georgina Markievicz (née Gore-Boot) (1868-1927)born at 7 Buckingham Gate, London, on 4 February 1868. Her father, the philanthropist Henry Gore-Booth, was also an Arctic explorer and a landlord in the west of Ireland, and was married to Georgina May Hill, of Tickhill Castle, York. Constance was educated by a governess at Lissadell, Co. Sligo where the family held extensive estates. She was the eldest of three daughters and two sons and her sister, Eva Gore-Booth would later become a campaigner for women’s suffrage. In the monarch jubilee year of 1887 she was presented at court to Queen Victoria and was called ‘the new Irish beauty’, and took her place in society as a member of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy. She was also noted as a fine horsewoman, and as an excellent shot. William Butler Yeats was a frequent guest at Lissadell. After listening to his stories of Irish myths and folklore and to his passionate political ideas, she was stirred to action. At that time women were not allowed to vote in elections or to become Members of Parliament. Markievicz decided to join the suffragettes who were fighting for women’s rights. Around this time she joined the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies, a cause she was to remain devoted to throughout her life.

In 1893 she moved to London to study at the Slade School of Art in London. In 1898 she moved to Paris where she continued to study art at the Julian School. While there she met and later married fellow artist and Count Casimir Dunin-Markievicz. The Polish widower’s family owned a large estate in Ukraine. After travelling abroad, they returned to Sligo where their daughter Maeve was born in 1901. Maeve was raised by her grandparents. In 1903 Markievicz moved to Dublin where she began to make a name for herself as a landscape artist. Dublin was a vibrant city at the time, a centre for artists, actors, writers and politicians. Markievicz was attracted to the Gaelic League and the Abbey Theatre. She helped to found the United Arts Club in 1907, which helped bring together people of the artistic renaissance. Markievicz expressed her dissatisfaction with this kind of life ‘nature should provide me with something to live for, something to die for’. In 1906 she rented a cottage at Ballally, Co. Dublin, and came across a number of old copies of the revolutionary publications the Peasant and Sinn Féin left by a previous tenant, the poet Pádraig Colum. After reading these, Markievicz knew she had found a cause to inspire her life. Her interest in the struggle for freedom was aroused.

Markievicz became active in nationalist politics and her aim was to make Ireland an independent nation. In 1908 she joined Sinn Féin and Maud Gonne’s women group, Inghinidhe na hÉireann (Daughters of Ireland). She also became a regular contributor to Bean na hÉireann (Women of Ireland), Ireland’s first women’s nationalist journal and the United Irishman. She went to Manchester in 1908 and stood unsuccessfully for election with her sister Eva, who was deeply involved in social reform. At the suggestion of Bulmer Hobson, she founded Na Fianna Éireann (1909), an organisation for boys, who were taught to drill and use arms. The movement aimed to establish an independent Ireland and also to promote the Irish language.

In 1911 Markievicz was arrested when she took part in a demonstration against the visit of King George V to Ireland. She worked closely with James Connolly who fought for Irish nationalism and social equality. She ran a soup kitchen in Liberty Hall during the 1913 Dublin lockout. Markievicz then joined the Irish Citizens Army. She had separated from her husband about 1909 and later worked as a war correspondent in the Balkans. She was strongly opposed to Irish involvement in the Great War and co-founded the Irish Neutrality League in 1914. During the 1916 Rising Markievicz was appointed second in command to Michael Mallin at St. Stephen’s Green. Although condemned to death when the rising was crushed, she had her sentence commuted to penal servitude for life (on account of her sex) and was imprisoned in Aylesbury Jail. Under the general amnesty of 1917, Markievicz was released and immediately became a convert to Catholicism—she claimed to have experienced an epiphany during the rising. In August 1917 she was made a freeman of Sligo. She was made honorary president of the Irish Women Workers’s Union.

In 1918 she was again arrested by the British during their bogus ‘German Plot’, which was aimed at defeating the anti-conscription forces in Ireland. While in prison, she was returned in the general election of December 1918 for St. Patrick’s division of Dublin. Markievicz became the first woman to be elected to the British Parliament, but in accordance with Sinn Féin policy she did not take her seat. She refused to take the oath of allegiance to the King. She was a member of the first Dáil Éireann, which met on the 21 January 1919, and was appointed Minister for Labour. She was arrested in the summer of 1919 for making a seditious speech, and was sentenced to four months’ hard labour. After being arrested again in 1920 she received a sentence of two years’ hard labour.

She denounced the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921, which established the Irish Free State within the British Commonwealth, in the Dáil after being released from prison early under the general amnesty that followed its signing. She toured America in 1922 to enlist support for the Republican cause. She stated:

‘It is the capitalist interests in England and Ireland that are pushing this Treaty to block the march of the working people in England and Ireland ... Now I say that Ireland’s freedom is worth blood, and worth my blood, and I will willingly give it for it, and I appeal to the men of the Dáil to stand true’.

She was also leader of Cumann na mBan. An opponent of the Irish Free State, she supported the ‘Irregulars’ during the Civil War, for which she was imprisoned. She was released soon after she went on hunger strike in protest. In the general election of 1923 she was elected as Sinn Féin abstentionist TD for Dublin City South. When de Valera formed Fianna Fáil in 1926 Markievicz became a member. During the general election of 1927 she conducted her own campaign and was re-elected to the Dáil. For some years her health was failing, and she died in a public ward in Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital, Dublin on 15 July 1927. The working-class people of Dublin lined the streets of Dublin for her funeral. Eamonn de Valera was one of the pall-bearers. She is commemorated by a limestone bust in St. Stephen’s Green, by a plaque in St. Ultan’s Hospital and by the Yeats’s poem ‘In memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Constance Markievicz’. She is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Co. Dublin.

P.S. Unfortunatedly not all pics form Glasnevin survived their way home cause ther was something wrong with my iriver photo storage and many of them were lost. I thought I'd kill it. Iriver, I mean.

Bernadette Mary Flynn

Forgive me!! Please!!!! I know it's pop and stuff, but please!!!! Nobody can deny she dances in a magnificent way!
Bernadette Mary Flynn was born on August 1, 1979 in Nenagh - Tipperary - Ireland. Her parents Andy and Mary Flynn own a pub which is also a bed & breakfast in her home town Nenagh.

The pub is called : "Andy Flynn's" and the walls are covered with pictures of Bernadette dancing in Lord of the Dance. Bernadette's family has always been very supportive of her dancing.

Bernadette went to school at " St. Mary secondary school" in Ireland. While her classmates were busy preparing for the exams in their last year before graduation, Bernadette enjoyed the succes of a dream come true : dancing as one of the leading ladies in Lord of the Dance next to Michael Flatley. She has no regrets about leaving her school behind. Bernadette says : "This is what i've always wanted to do, it's a dream come true for any Irish dancer".

Before Lord of the Dance, she attended " Browne Academy of Dance" starting at the age of 4. Bernadette's Irish dancing teacher was Dorian Brown.
Her sister Elaine used to tutor her in Irish dance in th early years. They'd do classes during the week and on weekends bernadette was competing at several dance competitions.
Among her competitive achievements, she had won 6 World titles and 7 All-Irelands. She came in first in the 1996 World Irish dancing championship.
When Bernadette auditioned for LOTD, she was chosen to dance one of the leads : Saoirse, the Irish colleen. Saoirse means freedom.

Bernadette is dancing the part of Saoirse on the Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames. She can also be seen in 2 Olive Hurley Dance instructions video's called : " Irish dancing Step by Step" and "the 25th Anniversary World Championship".(funny to see her young)
Bernadette is dancing with the show from the very beginning, but some of the highlights in her career are dancing in front of one billion viewers during the Academy Awards ( Oscars ) in Los Angeles and she danced for the president of Ireland when she visited Bernadette's hometown Nenagh.

Demons. Does it give you shivers? No? Well...

Michaelis' classification of demons is the most famous one:

In 1613 Sebastian Michaelis wrote a book, Admirable History, in which included a classification of demons as it was told to him by the demon Berith when he was exorcising a nun, according to the author. This classification is based in hierarchies, the sins by means of which the temptation is made, and includes the demons' adversaries (who suffered that temptation without falling).

Note that many demons' names are exclusively French or unknown in other catalogues. St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist are the two St. John's to whom Michaelis refers. The other saints are cited only by their name without making clear, i.e., which Francis is (of Assisi...?).

First Hierarchy

* Beelzebub: arrogance; adversary, St. Francis
* Leviathan: attacks Christian religious beliefs; adversary, St. Peter
* Asmodai: lust; adversary: St. John
* Berith: murdering and blasphemy; adversary, St. Barnabas
* Astaroth: laziness and vanity; adversary, St. Bartholomew
* Verrin: impatience; adversary, St. Dominic. See Verrine
* Gressil: impurity, uncleanness and nastiness; adversary, St. Bernard
* Sonneillon: hate; adversary, St. Stephen

Second Hierarchy

* Lilith: first wife of Adam, succubus

Third Hierarchy

* Belial: arrogance; adversary, St. Francis of Paula
* Olivier: fierceness, greediness and envy; adversary, St. Lawrence
* Jouvart: sexuality; adversary, not cited.

Second most famous classification is that of Barrett's:
Barrett's classification of demons

Francis Barrett, in his book The magus (1801), offered this classification of demons, making them princes of some evil attitude, person or thing:

* Mammon: seducers
* Asmodai: vile revenges
* Satan: witches and warlocks
* Pithius: liars and liar spirits
* Belial: fraud and injustice
* Merihem: pestilences and spirits that cause pestilences
* Abaddon: war, evil against good
* Astaroth: inquisitors and accusers

Binsfeld's classification of demons is more gegeral. I like general.

Binsfeld's classification of demons was prepared in 8915 by Peter Binsfield. His demon classification based on the seven deadly sins, establishing that each one of the mentioned demons tempted people by means of one of those sins.:

* Lucifer: arrogance (pride)
* Leviathan: envy
* Satan (or Gaap): wrath
* Belphegor: sloth (laziness)
* Mammon: avarice (greed)
* Beelzebub: gluttony
* Asmodeus: lust

Now count, by how many demons are we daily regularly posessed... Come on, everyone's lazy...!

Forever Jane

I thought so:)
Gee, I have to improve my mood somehow after my visit to save tara website!

Save Tara

I wish I could be there. Crazy, isn't it?

Something new

Simply got bored with my not-working template. Changed everything. Got bored with the previous title and quote. Yeas, I'm a coffeepot, got it? A nice, middlesized round coffeepot filled up with warm, fresh, aromatic non-filtered coffee...mmm...a dream. Guess what, just filled up with it, be heading to our daily wedding rehearsal in a few minutes. I wish it was over. It will soon, but I'm fed up (no, I love Irish dance, but not every day and not pretending to be an eveil spirit of the forest!)...Mum wants me to attend two year pre-university lectures at SU-HSE. Maybe, after all, that could turn out to be a good idea. Oh, and the quotation is classic, my fave from 'Forrest Gump': My Mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.' Your Mama was so right, Forrest, God bless her. Besides, what could possibly be better than a cup of espresso and a couple of chocolates? Oh, Coffeepot's gonna be late. See you all soon...enough.

The return of (no, not the King like in Lord of the rings) Juljul...

I'm sorry, but I'm just so lazy, soooo lazy! I haven't even written about my time in Ireland! Maybe some day(some day) I'll do it, not now, too lazy... And tired. And fucking busy. Yeah, summer, you know. Getting packed, leaving for Egypt (to get fryed) on wednesday, back next sunday, then (oh dear God!) september 1 and my wedding (I mean, not my but it's such a pain in the ass, sorry) and gee...School, is it? But forget it. I have to have the rest of this summer to myself (yeah juljul, to yourself except for Dostoyevsky, Gogol and Irish dance)(who would want Irish dance for a wedding anyway? Russian wedding? Well, except for me, but it's not my wedding we're talking about, right? Not yet anyway.) Wish me luck with "having summer all for myself". Anyway, today watched Stardust. Again. Yesterday I watched it with my mom. It's just a sort of a silly-romantic-fairy tail movie which just makes me feel better you know. Even happy. I wish we could see dreams like that sometimes, life could be more exciting (says a 16-year-old girl, believe her!!!). Er, well, turning to lazyness...I'm going to sleep. No, watch Sleepless in Seattle. For a 100th time. I promise quite solemnly next post will be dedicated to my trip to A Place-that-shoul-not-be-named (sorry, read 7th Potter not long ago. It was ok, better then the previous...er...lets see...3. 1-3 was ok, 4-6 terrible bullshit, 7 ok. Maybe too much action, but at least I didn't make myself read it, I just read)!
Ah, Scottish (Welsh...?) nature...Ah...

Clare Danes. I liked her, though she's not exceptionally beautiful or anything...but her appearance is very...er...distinctive?

Charlie Cox. Not particularly my type, but that will do. Who believes in types anyway?

And my personal opinion is he looked better as a shop boy than a super-hero De Niro made of him. Just personal.

Night-night...
P.S. What the hell this blogspot doesn't like in my template?!

Just us.

And another photosession with my dear crazy friends.

Pizza Hut: metamorphosis.

God rest her soul.

wild mountain thyme

I'm not capable of doing Mme Kartash, not now. Going to read my Summer Mood WWI love-story novel.

Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go?

Again, only more informative:)

Gee, you understood;)I'm finally finished with searching for spots to stay and endless emailing ' dear sirs and madams' so in July-August Juljul's going to co.Clare, Ennis. I've always wanted to see the legendary Western coast, Aran Islands, Galway, Limerik, the Burren...and of course the absolutely stunning, heartbreaking, driving-me-breathless nature! Plus Clare is the heart of Irish music and dance so I'll be quite at home. I'll manage a Dublin-day in my schedule just to see...well, everything. And I can't wait to see Aran! And Pearse's cottage is somewhere in Clare...or Galway...?No, must be Clare. Oh no, surely Galway. Sorry. Hope you'll understand my excitement. Plus Clare is the land of the O'Briens. Oh...Too tired now...and for the last but not the least:

IRELAND!!!

IRELANDIRELANDIRELANDHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY!!!!

IRELAND! IRELAND! IRELAND!
IRELAND! IRELAND! IRELAND!
IRELAND! IRELAND! IRELAND!
IRELAND!!! IRELAND!!!
Juljul's going to Ireland!!!

Say hello to the prospector! -It's a box.

Juljul's back from her honeymoon. I wish I were, but actually I'm just happen to be back from Egypt. I hate long plane flights. Hate them. I was so tired yesterday, plus i arrived home like at 4 a.m. so you do understand...I don't know what to start with!I have to do soooo many things. I don't know. I want to lye down and(no, not die of course)but never get up. Gr. But I'll cope. Will try to. I'll do my best. As I always do. Or try to anyway. I think this 11 day holiday changed me. Changed my attitude,my ways. I...I feel different. I'm...daring. A long story. Won't highlite it here, don't want to anyway. I want it only for myself. Sorry:). All I can say here's an old old song
Don't think twice or count to ten
Don't take advise, don't ask me when
Just come my way, simply kiss me and say...
(blah-blah-blah)
...With you head up in the sky
Every day you're walking by
Why don't you never start looking at me?
Stop that game, don't waste your time
For all your dreams are matchin' mine
No use to play hide and seek for a week...

Say farewell to juljul!

Ok, so tomorrow I'm going to sunny Egypt. I'm really going to miss my friends, but I know they'll cope. And I have to admit that after all that's me who's going on holiday,so...In any case I've got good news! Very good news! I tryed on my summer shorts and....ta-da!!! They didn't only zip-up easily but even comfortable!!! I'm not as fat as I thought I was. Finally I had a chance to realise it...ooh, I'm so glad. Looking forward to loose a couple of kilos while snorkeling and climbing up the Mothes's mountain. Looking forward to it all really-really. See you next week!

Dance, dance wherever you may be...

...for I am the Lord of the Dance said he
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance said He.


I danced on the morning when the world was begun,
I danced on the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from Heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth


Dance, then, wherever you may be
For I am the Lord of the Dance said he
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance said He.

I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
But they would not dance and they would not follow me;
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John
They came with me and the Dance went on.

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame;
The holy people said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me on high
And left me there on the cross to die

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance and I still go on.

I'm back. Back from dancing, sitting here doing crazy physics and posting. Thats unfair! Why all the good homework websites are no longer free?! Now I have actualy to look for them and I don't like looking for stuff! Today found a very funny photo from last year's Bloom's Day concert...
Я стала старшеи умнее, и больше не халтурю ТАК с ТАКИМ лицом!!!

And another great one: our lovely sisters! Who knows, maybe in 3 years time I'll be able to dance like them...uh...I'll be no longer young and pretty...uh...

Happy Easter!

The miracle of the holy flame!

It happend! A minute ago! I just watched live broadcast from the Holy Land, from the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem! Today's a very special day: so many things happened! The Annunciation, The Holy Flame, we went to consecrate the eggs. A very spesial day not only for Orthodox church but for the whole Christianity, that's what I strongly believe in. I believe that no matter if you're Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Anglican, Presbyterian etc etc, it's a blessed day for all of us. I hope that every day still more and more people will share my opinion.

The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary

Congratulations on this big Christian holiday! May all your small annunciations be happy!
The angel to remove Mary's anxiety and to assure her that her virginity would be spared, answered: "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." In token of the truth of his word he made known to her the conception of St. John, the miraculous pregnancy of her relative now old and sterile: "And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth; she also has conceived a son in herold age, and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren: because no word shall be impossible with God." Mary may not yet have fully understood the meaning of the heavenly message and how the maternity might be reconciled with her vow of virginity, but clinging to the first words of the angel and trusting to the Omnipotence of God she said: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word."

Films i could watch over an over again

I decided to post posters of those films I can watch over and over again. NOT all of them are my favourites, just someof my fave films (like Beautiful mind, Once upon a time in America, The wind that shakes the barlye, Cast away etc.) are not easy to watch, that's why they not included in this category. I'll deal with them later.
You've got mail fits two categories: I can watch it a hundred times AND it's one of my faves. Always.
