RE: Children Beaty Pageants ( Elaborate your answer )

Gotta get to work, so I'll read it later, ok Merri.

Also in these later videos - the psychologist talks about some children end up with eating disorders because of competitive body image ideas - and yet in America the obesity rates are incredibly high - so which is it? Are these children developing eating disorders or are they learning about health of their body and choosing foods that are better for them and reducing the portions and exercising?

I read a study that says the number of men with eating disorders are on the rise now, where at one time it was predominately something females from teen to early adulthood experienced.

RE: Who do you prefer?? Irish history.

doesn't history always start with language?

The history of the Irish language covers the period from the arrival of speakers of Celtic languages in Ireland to Ireland's earliest known form of Irish, Archaic Irish, which is found in Ogham inscriptions dating from the 3rd or 4th century. After the conversion to Christianity in the 5th century, Old Irish begins to appear as glosses and other marginalia in Latin manuscripts, beginning in the 6th century. It evolved in the 10th century to Middle Irish. Early Modern Irish, otherwise known as Classical Irish or Classical Gaelic, was a literary language that represented a transition between Middle and Modern Irish. It was used by writers in both Ireland and Scotland until the 17th century, in the course of which slowly but surely writers began writing in the vernacular dialects,

RE: Who do you prefer?? Irish history.

The independent Irish state was established in 1922 (The Irish Free State 1922–37; Ireland (Éire) from 1937, also described since 1949 as the Republic of Ireland). Although some Republican leaders had been committed language enthusiasts, the new state continued to use English as the language of administration, even in areas where over 80% of the population spoke Irish. There was some initial enthusiasm – a Dáil decree of March 1922 required that the Irish versions of names on all birth, death and marriage certificates would have to be used from July 1923. While the decree was passed unanimously, it was never implemented, probably because of the outbreak of the Irish civil war. Those areas of the state where Irish had remained widespread were officially designated as Gaeltachtaí, where the language would initially be preserved and then ideally be expanded from across the whole island.

The government refused to implement the 1926 recommendations of the Gaeltacht Commission, which included restoring Irish as the language of administration in such areas. As the role of the state grew, it therefore exerted tremendous pressure on Irish speakers to use English. This was only partly offset by measures which were supposed to support the Irish language. For instance, the state was by far the largest employer. A qualification in Irish was required to apply for state jobs. However, this did not require a high level of fluency, and few public employees were ever required to use Irish in the course of their work. On the other hand, state employees had to have perfect command of English and had to use it constantly. Because most public employees had a poor command of Irish, it was impossible to deal with them in Irish. If an Irish speaker wanted to apply for a grant, obtain electricity, or complain about being over-taxed, they would typically have had to do so in English. As late as 1986, a Bord na Gaeilge report noted "...the administrative agencies of the state have been among the strongest forces for anglicisation in Gaeltacht areas".

RE: Fighting the squirrels...

squirrels are my favorite rodent - can't you just grow a few tomatoes just for your furry friend? Share in your garden's bounty?

My friend has a terrible time with them, because they chew on the wires. Sometimes it cuts off her telephone and sometimes it gets one electrocuted...
