Many people who immigrated to the United States have come from Ireland. More than one- half of the soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War had Irish ancestors. Today, it is said, Irish descendants in the United States put on a noisier and bigger St. Patrick's Day celebration than the people in Ireland. Every year on March 17 or the preceding Saturday, cities with a large population of Irish Americans have parades. Green is one of the national colors of Ireland and also one of the signs of spring. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons and hats. Many American bars even serve green beer on that day!

Just like many other holidays in the United States, St. Patrick's Day has its origins in ancient times. A young boy named Patrick lived in the British Isles, a land that had been invaded and conquered first by the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. Patrick was captured and taken as a slave from the British Isles to what is now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep. He was a religious boy and he prayed that he would someday return to his homeland.

Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting for him two hundred miles away. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe, and disembarked in what is now probably France. He led several of the ship's crew through a dangerous forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were about to die of starvation, wild animals appeared for them to eat. Events such as these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends surrounding Patrick.

At home, Patrick felt that he was called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian religion.

Patrick arrived in Ireland and became a missionary, travelling from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, several members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around Ireland. "Here are three leaves," he said, "yet it is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one plant." The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a revered symbol of Ireland.

Stories of Saint Patrick, for by then he was a saint, reached far and wide. His most famous feat is forcing the snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a task, it is probably not true.

St. Patrick died on March 17 and the Irish people set aside the day to mourn. He became the patron saint of Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating his life. Americans have inherited this custom. On St. Patrick's Day in the United States, millions of people celebrate whether they are Irish or not!

The Rockets are strong, real strong. With a short bench they managed to win the midget title over the Aces and they’re now locked into an exciting overtime game with the Arizona Hitmen. There’s a girl by the name of Alley playing for the Hitmen that is phenomenal. Best female player I’ve seen in a long time.

Stop the presses, Rockets just buried it in OT. What an unbelievable back and forth battle to end this event on a great note.

For the most part, games were very competitive this weekend. I think there was only one mercy rule and ironically it was the Rockets in the round robin. You sort of got the sense that they were just having fun in the round robin but turned it up a notch later in the tourney.

Rockets all day baby<3

"i am not a bitch"Torstai 14.02.2008 09:53

Olipa kerran Espanjan tunnilla poika nimelta Justin. Han halajaa olla seuraava skeitti mestojen toni haukka...Han luulee etta kaikki Espanjan ryhmassa luulevat etta han on "bitch", mika ei varmastikkaan kaukana totuudesta olekkaan. Mutta yhtena paivana Justin sitten paatti nayttaa etta han ei ole "bitch". Justin nousi yht'akkia seisomaan ja alkoi puhuitella aika uutta oppilasta nimelta Andrew uhkaavin sanoin:"what did you call me?!did you just call me a bitch?!"ja Andrew yrittaa puolustella:"dude i dunno what youre talking about". Ja tama sk8r boy nimelta Justin jatkaa samoja lauseita:"wtf did you just call me a bitch, nobody calls me a bitch". Ja sita jatkui noin 30 sekunttia tarkkaan ottaen kun opettaja erotti kyseiset henkilot ja lahetti Justinin a.k.a sk8r boyhn Dean's Officea kohti han yritti puolustella:"I just wanted to beat him up because everyone in this classroom thinks i am a bitch and i wanted to prove that im not a bitch!".
Mutta niimpa Justin jatkaa matkaa kohti Dean's Officea kohti ja oppilailla oli tuntia jaljella noin muutama minuutti. Ja kun kello lopulta soi ja oppilaat lahtivat ruoka-tunnille koulun kaytavalla on vastassa Mr.Justin ja mukanaan 8 meksikolaista katyria. Mutta sitten 3 todella urheaa Andrew luokka-toveria sanoivat tuolle kyseiselle posselle etta:"You guys better not touch Andrew, he is walking with us"
Tuon lausahduksen jalkeen kasikahma ei ollut kovinkaan kaukana. Ja Mr.Justinin a.k.a sk8r boyhn saattoi paikantaan tuon meksikolais-syntyperaisen porukan takaa...tuosta voi melkeen paatella etta Justin ei saanut talla kertaa mainettaan puhdistetuksi, ja ei valttamatta saakkaan koska herraa meinaa uhkata tilapainen erotus koulusta...mutta onnea hanelle ja toivottavasti viela onnistuu tehtavassaan...
