a little misleading....
by tasha

Although I do not disagree with claims that Pau d'Arco may be beneficial in treatments of many diseases and health concerns, I find it very hard to treat candida using a formula like this. The instructions are quite misleading- taking two capsules a day for two weeks did nothing for a terrible yeast infection I had. Perhaps the manufacturer is just covering all their bases to avoid any trouble they may encounter otherwise, you probably need to take a lot more than 2 caps daily to combat a lot of the issues they claim Pau d'Arco can be beneficial to; candida being amongst the more minor.

Viamede Resort

Sometimes you want to get out of the city and be one with nature.

You want to be surrounded by trees and water and sand and animals and silence.

But when you have three kids and a dog, you know this is unrealistic and silence will forever evade you. And you start to be ok with that. So you crave the outdoors, but with…MORE.

I discovered a place this summer and I have to tell you about it because…wow.

This is everything you want and MORE.

Viamede resort is a couple of hours outside of Toronto and well worth the drive. It’s on the beautiful Stoney Lake and has a really incredible history going back to 1885.

You want the cottage feeling?

You got it-but with MORE. How about the cottage feel, but the towel service as well.

Your family wants breakfast by the lake but don’t want to get up early to make it? No problem. Breakfast is included in your stay, for everyone. And it has everything you want. Trust me.

A hankering for fishing but don’t know the hot spots on the lake? The owner and general manager will meet you on the dock and take you there. YUP. That happened.

Everyone we passed said hello and all the staff are willing to help you, regardless of their position. Need a snack? No problem. Want a coffee at 3AM? They can do that for you. Extra towels? Sheets for your room? ABSOLUTELY.

I was blown away by the customer service.

I felt like a total VIP, and so did my kids!

There are so many self-guided amenities at this resort-you can use them at any time (at your own discretion). Indoor pool, outdoor pool, lake with a water trampoline? Check.

Tennis, disc golf, hiking? You bet.

SUP boards, kayaks, canoes? Check. All with the proper life jackets available, of course.

Sandy beach to make a sand castle in the sun? Park to monkey around? Ping pong and foosball? Yup. Yup. Yup.

And then there are the activities you can sign up for-and they happen EVERY DAY.

Guided farm tour! Yes, they have their OWN FARM. They have turkeys, chickens, pigs, and more. You’re welcome to have a look for yourself, but why wouldn’t you take advantage of a full tour from the owner himself? He can answer all your questions and has a wealth of knowledge.

viamede viamede

Like fishing? My husband and kids went out on a boat with (you guessed it), Ben Samann, the owner, at 6:30 in the morning and they had there best time. No fishing rods? No worries! Ben has you covered. Viamede is all about the experience.

Want to know more about the history of Viamede? Or just enjoy the nature in the surrounding areas? Go for a guided nature walk each morning and enjoy the sweet sounds of the wind through the trees.

Have a puppy and don’t want to leave him behind?

Dogs are welcome at viamede and you can see their happy tails everywhere. There’s also an off-leash dog park to let your beasts run wild!

If you want a mellow evening, you can borrow a movie or a book from their library and chill out in your comfy cottage. Or on a rainy night, kids can enjoy watching a movie in the main lodge.

But on a beautiful warm evening, you can make your own s’mores by the fire-all courtesy of Viamede. My kids had never had a s’more before (I know, I’m so evil)…so you can imagine how excited they were to stay up late and roast their own by the lake! Pure bliss.

We only stayed at Viamede for two nights and I could have easily stayed for a week. There were activities we just couldn’t explore and would love to have the chance again. Maybe next summer we’ll try our hand at tennis, go for a hike, relax in the sauna, or hike up Mt. Julian.

And speaking of Mt. Julian…the FOOD. Oh my goodness, the food.

The breakfast buffet available for everyone is your standard breakfast fare-and different every day. They’ll always provide the classic bacon and egg breakfast but for those of us looking for something on the healthier side, yogurt, fresh fruit, and granola are available as well. Plus fire roasted tomatoes! Yes please.

The kids loved that they could make their own toast (and I loved that they offered whole wheat!).

Endless coffee all day made me smile too. It may be a relaxing vacation but that doesn’t mean chasing after the kids in the sun all day doesn’t make me a little sleepy in the afternoon! I’m always happy to have a little pick-me-up.

We ventured to the Boathouse for lunch and dinner and I was pleasantly surprised at the food. Perfectly cooked salmon and fresh salads from their gardens, probably the best veggie burger I’ve ever had (no exaggeration) and the fries were pretty out of this world too (Shhh-don’t tell).

They provided a great selection to choose from, as well as delicious nibblies for us to have with a local glass of wine or craft beer.

And if you want something supremely special…head on over to their 9-table restaurant, Mt. Julian.

The restaurant is located in one of the original buildings and is full of history. You can choose from 5, 7, or 9-course dinners along with beautiful local wine pairings.

This was my favourite. Each and every course was better than the last. I left so incredibly satisfied and happy, it was such a treat to be able to have a date night with my hubby while on vacation with the kids. Our server was happy, provided insight on everything served including the wines, and answered all our questions. We went middle of the road with a 7-course meal, and if we could have drawn out the meal longer (I mean, if we didn’t want to get back to the kids), I would’ve stayed super late and gone for the 9-course…because it was SO DELICIOUS!

What else could you want from a cottage resort?

Check out their site for all the amenities, activities and fun.

I hope we have a chance to go back again next year. Although, I don’t know if my kids need to get used to this VIP treatment. They might start expecting it at home! I will not start making bacon and s’mores for them everyday…

*Viamede provided my family with a two night stay. All opinions are my own and I would never recommend anything I didn’t absolutely believe in.

Though she hasn’t yet formally declared her candidacy, it appears Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney is moving forward with a primary challenge to Republican Rep. Richard Hanna.

A source forwarded one of Tenney’s petitions that he said is being circulated in NY-22 by a Tea Party group. The assemblywoman and her conservative allies are apparently seeking volunteers to carry petitions in the district, which partially overlaps with the serpentine assembly district she currently represents (and was drawn into during the last round of redistricting, compliments of the Assembly GOP leadership, with whom Tenney doesn’t always see eye-to-eye).

In a brief telephone interview, Tenney said she still hasn’t made up her mind about running, but recognized she needed to be out with petitions if she wanted the option of doing so. (Due to the court-ordered June 24 congressional primary date, petitioning started on March 4 and only runs through April 10). The assemblywoman said she has “a couple more people, things that are going to go one way or another” before she decides whether to pull the trigger on a campaign, adding: “We’re working on that today and tomorrow.”

Tenney has repeatedly confirmed she was giving serious consideration to challenging Hanna, despite being discouraged from doing so by party leaders. Hanna is one of the more moderate members of the GOP conference in the House, and Tenney has accused him of being out of step with his district, which she says is more conservative since redistricting, and also “taking populist positions as opposed to taking the positions he said he would.”

Tenney has also slammed Hanna for joining a congressional gay rights caucus and consistently supporting abortion rights during his two terms in office.

A poll conducted recently for Hanna by McLaughlin & Associates found he would defeat Tenney by a wide margain.

Hanna has survived a conservative primary challenge before. Two years ago, he easily defeated a Tea Party candidate, Michael Kicinski of Earlville, who is planning a re-match this summer. The congressman then went on to a general election victory against his Democratic challenger, Dan Lamb, a former aide to retired Rep. Maurice Hinchey.

Michael Vasquez, a former stockbroker living in Binghamton, has declared his intention to challenge Hanna, which means this will be a four-way race if Tenney gets in. Congressional petitioning started March 4 and ends April 10.

Hanna has been endorsed by seven of the eight GOP county committees in NY-22 – Tioga County so far hasn’t weighed in – and also landed the Independence Party’s nod.

Thanks to the Legislature’s refusal to move the state-level primaries to coincide with the June House primary, the assemblywoman would not necessarily have to forgo seeking re-election to her current seat if she challenges Hanna and loses. But she insisted that she hasn’t given any thought to that strategy, telling me: ” I’m not going this because I’m planning on losing, and honestly, I haven’t given (an Assembly run) a lot of thought. I haven’t even gotten on the ballot yet.”

Words like mother and love often appear on lists of beautiful English words. But so do defenestration and lollygag. Obviously, they are not all chosen for the same reason. Some words tug at the heart, some pique the mind and others are simply euphonious. Perhaps the strangest member of the last category, the purely harmonious, is the otherwise ordinary phrase cellar door.

The claim that cellar door is beautiful to the ear — in opposition to its prosaic meaning — has been made by and attributed to a wide variety of writers over the years. “Poetry, in fact, is two quite distinct things,” H. L. Mencken wrote in a 1920 magazine column. “It may be either or both. One is a series of words that are intrinsically musical, in clang-tint and rhythm, as the single word cellar-door is musical. The other is a series of ideas, false in themselves, that offer a means of emotional and imaginative escape from the harsh realities of everyday.”

More recently, the superior sound of cellar door was mentioned in the 2001 movie “Donnie Darko,” in which a cellar serves as a time-twisting portal. In one scene, the main character, Donnie, sees the phrase on a schoolroom chalkboard. He asks his teacher why it’s on the board, and she explains that the words are thought to be especially lovely, vaguely attributing the idea to a “famous linguist.”

The fantasy writer J. R. R. Tolkien, who was also a philologist, might well be the linguist she had in mind. He mentioned the idea of cellar door’s special beauty in a speech in 1955 and is often given credit for it. Other supposed authors abound; the story is tangled. But Tolkien, at least, can be ruled out as the originator. He was, after all, just 11 years old in 1903 when a curious novel called “Gee-Boy” — which also alludes to the aesthetic properties of cellar door — was published by the Shakespeare scholar Cyrus Lauron Hooper. Hooper’s narrator writes of the title character: “He even grew to like sounds unassociated with their meaning, and once made a list of the words he loved most, as doubloon, squadron, thatch, fanfare (he never did know the meaning of this one), Sphinx, pimpernel, Caliban, Setebos, Carib, susurro, torquet, Jungfrau. He was laughed at by a friend, but logic was his as well as sentiment; an Italian savant maintained that the most beautiful combination of English sounds was cellar-door; no association of ideas here to help out! sensuous impression merely! the cellar-door is purely American.”

There is no reason to conclude that Hooper was the founder of the cellar door fan club, either, but it is notable that he used a template according to which the story often has been told since: a person of note — brainy, foreign or both — declares the sounds of cellar door to be exceptional, to the surprise of native but less discerning English speakers.

Often, commentators claim cellar door is beautiful without reference to any other source or author. Did they rediscover it? Or did they simply not remember where they first heard it? The writer and famous wit Dorothy Parker didn’t think much of the collection of beautiful words compiled in 1932 by the dictionary-maker Wilfred J. Funk, who topped his list with words like dawn, hush and lullaby. Parker said she preferred check and enclosed — but also cellar door. A journalist named Hendrik Willem van Loon was one of two other people who suggested cellar door as an omission in Funk’s list. Van Loon expressed surprise that Parker selected the same term: “I’ve only met Miss Parker twice in my life, and we’ve never talked of cellar-doors.”

There is no scientific proof that the phonemes of cellar door are particularly pleasing to the English-speaker’s ear. A subjective poetic argument for the phono-acoustic superiority of the phrase is easier to make, as long as one can, as in “Gee-Boy,” dissociate sound from meaning. David Allan Robertson, a professor at the University of Chicago, touched on the basic delight of the phrase when he wrote in 1921: “Cellar door, oleomargarine; oleomargarine, cellar door. If we agree with modern fanatics, that assonance and cadence alone make poetry, we have a poem in those four words.”

In a similar vein, the drama critic George Jean Nathan used cellar door to mock Gertrude Stein in 1935: “Sell a cellar, door a cellar, sell a cellar cellar-door, door adore, adore a door, selling cellar, door a cellar, cellar cellar-door. There is damned little meaning and less sense in such a sentence, but there is, unless my tonal balance is askew, twice more rhythm and twice more lovely sound in it than in anything, equally idiotic, that Miss Gertrude ever confected.”

Sometimes, the loveliness of cellar door is thought to be more evident when the phrase is given a different spelling. “I was astonished when someone first showed that by writing cellar door as Selladore,” C. S. Lewis wrote in 1963, “one produces an enchanting proper name.” Norman Mailer toyed with a respelling in his 1967 novel, “Why Are We in Vietnam?” “He is marooned, in case you have not noticed, on that balmy tropical isle pronounced Selador, spelled cellardoor, ” Mailer writes of D. J., his 18-year-old protagonist. “Do you know a committee of Language Hump-type professors put out a committee finding back in 1936 — most beautiful word in the English language is cellardoor.”

Despite more than a century of elusive commentary on this topic, the only door we can identify with certainty is the open one through which those trying to investigate the matter have haplessly fallen. If you rely also on meaning, maybe closed cellar door is the more beautiful choice.

Dr. Bernadine P. Healy was the first woman to lead her agency. Credit Andrea Mohin

Dr. Bernadine P. Healy, the first woman to lead the National Institutes of Health and the first physician to lead the American Red Cross until she was forced out in a storm of criticism over flawed responses to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, died on Saturday at her home in Gates Mills, Ohio. She was 67.

The cause was recurring brain cancer, which she had battled for 13 years, her husband, Dr. Floyd D. Loop, said.

In a hybrid career in the largely male domains of medicine and government, Dr. Healy — a cardiologist and feminist — was a professor at Johns Hopkins University, dean of the Ohio State University medical school, a White House science adviser and president of the American Heart Association. She wrote scientific papers and magazine columns, and once ran for the United States Senate.

But she was best known as a tough, innovative administrator who, as director of the National Institutes of Health from 1991 to 1993, championed studies that overturned false assumptions about women’s health. And as president of the American Red Cross from 1999 to 2001, she struggled to coordinate its complex, often contradictory missions of humanitarian disaster relief and the businesslike maintenance of blood supplies.

Dr. Healy’s résumé was a compendium of academic and professional achievements that in its cold detail omitted a central fact: her relentless attack on the misperception that heart attacks were men’s problems. Heart disease was by far the leading killer of American women, who accounted for nearly 40 percent of its victims. Women’s groups had long sought a greater focus on women’s coronary health, cancers and the role of hormonal changes and therapy.

Continue reading the main story

Dr. Healy, who had pushed similar concerns within cardiology, went to Washington and made the issue her own.

“The problem is to convince both the lay and medical sectors that coronary heart disease is also a women’s disease, not a man’s disease in disguise,” Dr. Healy wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1991. At the institutes of health, the country’s largest medical research organization, Dr. Healy, a Republican appointed by President George Bush, inherited a sprawling agency of 15,000 people. It had gone without a director for two years and was beset by bureaucratic infighting, political interference and declining morale.

“I am willing to go out on a limb, shake the tree and even take a few bruises,” she told reporters. “I’m not particularly concerned about being popular.”

Dr. Healy cracked the whip on bureaucrats, recruited new talent, expanded the Human Genome Project and reversed policies that, like the medical establishment, had focused largely on men’s health and virtually excluded women from clinical trials. She mandated the inclusion of women in trials wherever appropriate.

She began the Women’s Health Initiative, a $625 million study of the causes, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and cancer in middle-aged and older women. Long after her tenure, the initiative continued yielding important findings. In 2002, it found that prolonged estrogen-progestin hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women increased risks of breast cancer, stroke and heart attacks.

“Dr. Healy’s stubborn insistence that the N.I.H. concern itself with women’s health was not broadly supported at the time,” Anne M. Dranginis, an associate professor of biological sciences at St. John’s University, wrote in a 2002 Op-Ed article in The New York Times. “Had Dr. Healy not championed research on women’s health, how much longer would healthy women have been encouraged to take hormone drugs?”

Dr. Healy stepped down when President Bill Clinton named a new N.I.H. director in 1993.

Six years later, Dr. Healy faced even more daunting challenges at the Red Cross. While it was widely seen as an icon of humanitarian work, the organization was an unwieldy behemoth with 1,000 chapters, 1.2 million volunteers, 3,000 staff members and a $3 billion budget. It was also a house divided, with nonprofit disaster-relief on one side and, on the other, a blood business run like a corporation.

Recovering from a brain tumor as she took over, Dr. Healy found what she called “turf battles, gossip and very little teamwork.”

Her reform efforts stumbled in the face of resistant autonomous chapters, a staff that chafed under her hard-driving style, cases of embezzlement and lax controls, which led to record fines for infected blood products. She made the safety of blood supplies a priority.

But she upset many by auditing local chapters’ finances, overriding veteran administrators’ decisions and strongly supporting Israel’s Red Shield of David in its effort to join the international Red Cross and Red Crescent societies without having to accept a cross or crescent as its emblem. When the effort failed, she withheld dues from the international body in protest.

Missteps after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks precipitated her downfall. Red Cross disaster-relief units responded poorly, especially at the Pentagon crash site, critics said. Later, her handling of blood donations for 9/11 victims came under fire. Collections far exceeded amounts needed. Some blood was kept for other users, but much of it expired and had to be discarded.

She was excoriated in Congress and by chapter leaders and donors over her Liberty Fund, established to aid victims of the terrorist attacks. It collected $564 million but kept $264 million for other uses, including aid in future attacks. She said it had never been intended just for Sept. 11 victims, but her critics insisted that the money had been raised under false pretenses. In response to the protests, the Red Cross redirected all the money to Sept. 11 relief.

Critics called Dr. Healy autocratic and said she had jeopardized the good will of a revered charity. Allies defended her as smartly decisive, even if she sometimes ignored political realities. She resigned under pressure, although one Red Cross director acknowledged, “We hired a change agent for a culture resistant to change.”

Bernadine Patricia Healy was born in New York City on Aug. 2, 1944, one of four daughters of Michael and Violet McGrath Healy. Her parents ran a small perfume factory in Long Island City, Queens, where she grew up.

She graduated from Hunter High School in Manhattan in 1962, got through Vassar College in three years and graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1970. After postdoctoral work, she became a full professor at Johns Hopkins in 1982 and directed its cardiac care unit from 1976 to 1984.

Her first marriage, to Dr. George Bulkley, a surgeon she had met in medical school, ended in divorce in 1981. They had a daughter, Bartlett Bulkley. In 1985, Dr. Healy married Dr. Loop, a cardiac surgeon. They had a daughter, Marie McGrath Loop. Dr. Loop and her two daughters survive her.

Dr. Healy was President Ronald Reagan’s deputy science adviser in 1984 and 1985, president of the American Heart Association in 1988 and 1989, and from 1985 to 1991 practiced cardiology and directed research at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, which was operated by Dr. Loop.

She lost a Senate primary in Ohio in 1994, was a professor and dean at Ohio State from 1995 to 1999 and an adviser on bioterrorism to President George W. Bush.

Correction: August 10, 2011

An obituary on Tuesday about Dr. Bernadine P. Healy, who led both the National Institutes of Health and the American Red Cross, misidentified the medical specialty of her husband, Dr. Floyd D. Loop. He is a cardiac surgeon, not a cardiologist.

LAHARDANE, Ireland — For decades, abandoned stone cottages were the only mark of the Addergoole Fourteen, young emigrants who had fled the dark bogs of County Mayo with dreams of fortune in America and steerage tickets aboard the Titanic steamer setting sail from its last port of call: Queenstown, Ireland.

The devastated people of tiny Addergoole in western Ireland chose to silently mourn their loss in one of the most famous tragedies of the 20th century. The ache was too much for townspeople, who already had lost so many relatives to the Irish exodus brought on by desperate poverty.

Now, 100 years after the Titanic’s sinking, the town’s silence has been replaced by a cacophony of remembrance for the 11 of the Addergoole Fourteen who died and the 3 who survived — a documentary on the town’s tragedy (featuring locals), a play on the same (also featuring locals) and a week of commemorative events that is expected to include an appearance by Prime Minister Enda Kenny.

It is a bitter twist that the town’s decision to go so public with its grief comes as Addergoole is once again part of a drama bigger than itself. The debilitating financial crisis in the euro zone is chasing young Irish abroad after a brief period when, for the first time in decades, many emigrants returned home for better job prospects.

In the last year, Addergoole, with a population of fewer than 1,000 people, has lost at least 50 men and women in their 20s to emigration, and children at a local school — which still keeps a registry of long-ago students marked “Gone to U.S.A.” — talk again of leaving for work. Among residents making plans to emigrate: the son of the man who conceived the Titanic remembrances.

“What is wrong with this country that we cannot get work for our youngsters?” asked Pauline Barrett, 60, whose great-uncle James Flynn died at age 28 aboard the Titanic, bound for New York to find jobs with two brothers already there. “This has happened so many times. And it’s happening again.”

The Addergoole Titanic Society — formed 10 years ago when newcomers realized the region was losing its history — has vastly expanded its ambitions from ringing a mournful church bell on Titanic anniversaries to presenting a week of activities.

“This gives us an ability to build an identity,” said Dr. Paul Nolan, the society’s chairman, whose son, Dylan, is preparing to leave for Germany. “It’s often hard to get tourism started, and this is the first step to attract people through a cultural focus.”

At the edge of the town, the society has posted a welcome sign with a black-and-white steamer and the designation “Ireland’s Titanic Village.” Society members hope to build tourism, and an economy that might allow young people to stay, by increasing annual events and opening a Titanic memorabilia shop.

“Why speak now? We’re more open,” said Ms. Barrett, whose great-uncle was reportedly pushed away with an oar from a Titanic lifeboat with vacant seats. “If you go back to my grandmother’s generation, they were more concerned with getting a life and making a living. They took the pain and put it away. It wasn’t spoken about.”

The tale of the Addergoole Fourteen is the most mournful of mournful Irish tales, starting with seeming good fortune.

In 1912, nearly every family in a town of 3,400 people pooled remittances from emigrants or sold property to send their young to America, away from the rocky soil that could not sustain the large families crowded into three-room stone cottages. Most of the Addergoole emigrants were young women, who were considered a more reliable family investment because they dutifully sent money home, according to local historians.

Those who left were not expected to return, but one did with promises of work. Catherine McGowan, 42, who ran a Chicago boardinghouse, came back in 1912 to recruit other emigrants, including her niece Annie McGowan, then 17, and others in the Addergoole Fourteen.

When Dr. Nolan moved to Addergoole in 1984, he recalled, two patients in their 90s had vivid memories of all the Titanic passengers, including Catherine, who died, and Annie, who lived.

In 2002, Mr. Nolan joined with other fellow “blow ins” — the label for relative newcomers to Addergoole — to dream up a memorial ceremony for the 90th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking.

For the society’s first ritual, the church’s bell, silent for 20 years, was restored. Since then, descendants gather before midnight to toll the bell every April 15 until 2:20 a.m., with somber tones for the 11 who died and thundering strike notes for the three women who survived and made it to America.

A handful of descendants participated that first year. For this anniversary, organizers expect hundreds, including descendants from New Jersey and the Chicago area, where the Addergoole Fourteen survivors — Annie McGowan, Annie Kate Kelly and Delia McDermott — ultimately settled. The American relatives have already financed two new stained-glass windows in the local church.

John O’Boyle, 77, said his father was one of many who never talked about the tragedy, in his case the loss of his cousins John and Mary Bourke. The brother and sister died aboard the Titanic with John Bourke’s childhood sweetheart and pregnant bride, Catherine. The two women gave up their lifeboat seats because they refused to leave Mr. Bourke alone, Ms. Kelly told others. She took their place and credited them with her survival.

“I do ring the bell,” Mr. O’Boyle said. “It renews memories.”

For the centenary, the local volunteer force built a memorial park with donated labor and land. A 12-foot bronze sculpture of a ship’s prow rises from the center along with a hearth made with stones from the ruins of the Addergoole Fourteen’s cottages. The Pontoon Bridge Hotel is hosting a costumed Titanic ball.

Gillian Marsh, a producer and the wife of the town’s big-animal veterinarian, raised 60,000 euros, or about $78,000, to film a documentary, “Waking the Titanic.” The documentary has aired in Canada, and other countries are showing interest, she said.

One of the descendants in her film is Patrick Canavan, an elderly man whose red-haired ancestor of the same name was a local hero. According to survivors, the ancestor, 21, guided other passengers from third-class steerage through to the lifeboats but was barred from taking a place.

Mr. Canavan’s nephew, Paul, 23, is performing the role of his ancestor in a community play about the Addergoole Fourteen. And like the man whose life he will portray, he is dreaming of fortune abroad, laying plans to join his sister in Plano, Tex.

Despite the grander commemoration, there will be one constant this year: the bell will again toll, and some say its keening will tie the past to the present.

“When my two children are grown, the chances of them remaining here in Ireland are slim,” said Patricia Keigher, a member of the Addergoole Titanic Society. “The bell ringing out across the lake and the mountain is a call to say: You may not be here, but we are still thinking of you.”

Correction: April 15, 2012

A map last Sunday with an article about the village of Addergoole in western Ireland that lost 14 youths in the Titanic disaster 100 years ago located the village incorrectly. As the article correctly noted, it is in County Mayo, not County Galway. (Addergoole is a common name for villages in several Irish counties. County Mayo has two Addergooles and County Galway has four.)
