Blowdart: /* Irish rebel songs */ How on earth is Whiskey in the Jar a rebel song?!

{{Cleanup|date=October 2007}}

'''Irish rebel music''' is a sub genre of [[Irish folk music]], with much the same instrumentation, but with lyrics predominantly concerned with [[Irish nationalism]], and especially the struggle for independence from [[British rule in Ireland|British rule]].

The tradition of rebel music in Ireland dates back many centuries, dealing with historical events such as uprisings, describing the hardships of living under oppressive rule, but also strong sentiments of solidarity, loyalty, determination, as well as praise of valiant heroes.

As well as a deep-rooted sense of tradition, rebel songs have nonetheless remained contemporary, and since 1922, the focus has moved onto the nationalist cause in Northern Ireland, including support for the IRA and Sinn Féin. However, the subject matter is not confined to Irish history, and includes the exploits of the Irish Brigades who fought for both France and Spain, and also those who fought during the American civil war.

Over the years, a number of bands have performed "crossover" music, that is, Irish rebel lyrics and instrumentation mixed with other, more [[popular music|pop]] styles like [[Hip hop music|hip hop]]. Bands like [[Seanchai and the Unity Squad]] perform [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]]-influenced music.
[[Image:Remember the POW's CD.JPG|thumb|400px|Republican Prisoners have used music as a form of protest during the conflict in Ireland.]]

Irish rebel music has occasionally gained international attention. The [[Wolfe Tones]]' version of ''[[A Nation Once Again]]'' was voted the number one song in the world by [[BBC World Service]] listeners in 2002.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/us/features/topten/ The Worlds Top Ten | BBC World Service]</ref> Many of the more popular groups recently such as [[Saoirse (band)|Saoirse]], Éire Óg, [[Athenrye (band)|Athenrye]], [[Shebeen (band)|Shebeen]] and [[Pádraig]] [[Mór]] are from [[Glasgow]]. [[The Bog Savages]] of San Francisco are fronted by an escapee from Belfast's [[Long Kesh]] prison who made his break in the September 1983 [[Maze Prison escape|"Great Escape"]] by the IRA.

The parody band [[Ding Dong Denny O'Reilly and the Hairy Bowsies]] satirize this musical genre with songs such as ''The [[Crack (craic)|Craic]] We Had the Day We Died For Ireland''.

Music of this genre has often courted controversy with some of this music effectively banned from the airwaves in the Republic of Ireland in the 1980s. More recently, [[Derek Warfield]]'s music was banned from [[Aer Lingus]] flights, after the Ulster Unionist politician [[Roy Beggs Jnr]] compared their songs to the speeches of [[Osama bin Laden]].<ref>[http://www.breakingnews.ie/story.asp?j=65605756&p=656x646z&n=65606516&x=&fs=3 Wolfe Tones pulled from Aer Lingus flights | Ireland | BreakingNews.ie]</ref> However, a central tenet of the justification for rebel music from its supporters is that it represents a long-standing tradition of freedom of speech.

'''Man Man''' is a band from [[Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]]. Their musical style has been described as [[Viking metal|Viking]]-[[Vaudeville#Post-Vaudeville|vaudeville]], [[manic]] [[Gypsy jazz]].{{Fact|date=January 2009}} Man Man is known for their exuberant live performances. When performing, the members of the band dress in white outfits and wear war paint. The band uses pseudonyms—the frontman is Honus Honus, and its other members are Sergei Sogay, Pow Pow, Critter Crat (formerly known as "Cougar"), and Chang Wang. Prior to settling on Man Man, the band was named Gamelon and briefly Magic Blood.

During 2007 Man Man opened for [[Modest Mouse]] in several shows during their U.S tour, gaining a lot of public attention. Not long afterward, [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] began airing a series of commercials starring [[Rainn Wilson]] with Man Man's "10 lb Mustache" as the background music. That song along with "Feathers" and "Engwish Bwudd" were featured in season 3, episode 8 of the TV show [[Weeds (TV series)|Weeds]].

Man Man is known for their multi instrumental style that centers on the piano playing of lead singer Honus Honus accompanied by the singing and wide variety of other instruments played by the rest of the band. On recordings, Honus usually plays a [[honky tonk]] style piano but during the live shows he uses a [[Rhodes Piano]]. Other instruments played by the rest of the band include a [[clavinet]], [[microKORG]], [[sousaphone]], [[saxophone]], [[trumpet]], [[French horn]], [[flute]], [[drum set]], [[euphonium]], [[Fender Jazz Bass]], [[Danelectro|Danelectro guitar]], [[xylophone]], [[marimba]], [[melodica]] and various percussive instruments including pots and pans and toy noise makers and horns.

The 2006 album ''[[Six Demon Bag]]'''s title is a reference to a line in the film ''[[Big Trouble in Little China]]''

Man Man has recently finished their third studio album, titled ''[[Rabbit Habits]]'', and will embark on a North American tour in March 2008, with [[Yeasayer]] and [[The Extraordinaires]] splitting dates. The Voodoo Music Experience announced on June 23rd that Man Man will play the main stage of the festival in October 2008.

'''London Canal Museum''' is situated in the [[King's Cross (London)|King's Cross]] area of [[London]], [[England]], beside Battlebridge Basin on the [[Regent's Canal]]. The museum was opened in 1992. The building was constructed around 1860 as a warehouse for ice imported from [[Norway]] by [[ship]] and canal barge.
[[Image:london_canal_museum.jpg|frame|right|London Canal Museum]]

There are two preserved ice wells under the building, one of which may be viewed from the public area of the museum.

The exhibitions cover the following topics:

* Introduction to UK waterways
* Canal life (social history)
* Canal art
* Lifting and handling cargo
* The ice trade
* Canal craft
* Working horses on the canals and the streets
* The Regent's Canal
* Large scale historical map of London's canals
* Water and locks
* The museum's Bantam Tug
* Changing temporary exhibitions

There are special events, evening illustrated talks, and summer activities for children. The museum is independent and self funded. It is run and managed almost completely by volunteers. It is often used as a venue for private functions out of opening hours and this provides income to support it. There is a substantial commitment to education and a range of educational resources are available.

The museum has a track record of innovation as regards Internet based initiatives. It was the first UK museum to introduce a WAPsite for mobile phones, including a WAPwalk, a guided canal towpath walk using the WAPsite. It was one of London's first museums to become a Wi-Fi hotspot. In September 2007 it became the first UK museum to offer a[http://www.canalmuseum.org.uk/visit/podcasts.htm podcast audio tour] of its permanent exhibitions, for the visitor to download in advance and play on his/her own MP3 player.

}}

'''Delta Spirit''' is a band from [[San Diego]], [[California]]. Often dubbed as a “hybrid of rock and northern soul” or as an "Americana/soul" group, the band has never been signed to a major label. The group incorporates unconventional instruments (such as trash cans lids and orchestral bass drums), the multi-instrumentalism of the members and the vocal delivery and religiously/spiritually-themed lyrcis of singer Matt Vasquez. The group consists of Jon Jameson (bassist), Brandon Young (percussionist), Matthew Vasquez (vocalist), Sean Walker (guitarist), and Kelly Winrich (multi-instrumentalist).

== History ==
Delta Spirit formed in 2005 when Jonathan Jameson and Brandon Young, who had played with each other in many bands, and their new friend Sean Walker decided that they wanted to start a band that they really loved. Jameson, Young and Walker (who had just begun playing guitar) needed a vocalist; Young first spotted Vasquez [[busking]] loudly on a bench at two in the morning and the two exchanged information. Kelly Winrich started as the band's producer but joined the band within the first year. The band got its name from Jonathan's great uncle, "Uncle Red", who was a flight control operator near Birmingham, AL. He also ran a company, "Delta Spirit Taxidermy Station of North Central Alabama".

Princeton Theological Seminary

Blowdart: Restoring fact tagged removed without proof.

'''Princeton Theological Seminary''' (PTS) is a theological seminary of the [[Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)|Presbyterian Church]] located in the [[Borough of Princeton, New Jersey]] in the [[United States]]. It grew out of [[Princeton University]], though, today the two institutions are independent of each other.

PTS is one of the world's leading institutions for graduate theological education and home of the largest theological library in the [[United States]] and second largest in the world. Today it is an international community with a little over 700 students, a faculty of 53, and an ecumenical and worldwide constituency. Although the roots of Princeton Seminary are in [[Presbyterianism]], not all the students are candidates for the ministry in the [[Presbyterian Church USA|Presbyterian Church]]; some are candidates for ministry in other denominations, while others are studying toward careers in academia, and still others are pursuing fields less directly related to theology, such as law, medicine, social work, administration and education.

Like some other theological institutions, Princeton Theological Seminary has roots in a distinctive denominational heritage and was affiliated from the beginning with the [[Presbyterian]] Church.

==History==
The plan to establish a theological seminary at [[Princeton University]] was in the interests of advancing and extending the theological curriculum. It was not, as has sometimes been intimated, a sectarian withdrawal from secular university life{{fact}}. The educational intention was to go beyond the liberal arts course by setting up a postgraduate, professional school in theology. The plan met with enthusiastic approval on the part of authorities at the College of New Jersey, later to become [[Princeton University]], for they were coming to see that specialized training in theology required more attention than they could give. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church established The Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey in 1812, with the support of the directors of the nearby College of New Jersey (now [[Princeton University]]), as the first graduate theological school in the United States. The Seminary remains an institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA), being the largest of the ten theological seminaries affiliated with the 2.5-million member denomination.

In 1812, the Seminary boasted three students and the Reverend Dr. [[Archibald Alexander]] as its first professor. By 1815 the number of students had gradually increased and work began on a building: Alexander Hall was designed by John McComb, Jr., a New York architect, and opened in 1817. The original cupola was added in 1827, but it burned in 1913 and was replaced in 1926. The building was simply called "Seminary" until 1893, when it was officially named Alexander Hall. Since its founding, Princeton Seminary has graduated approximately 14,000 men and women who have served the church in many capacities, from pastoral ministry and pastoral care to missionary work, Christian education and leadership in the academy and business.

The seminary was made famous during the 19th and early 20th centuries for its defense of [[Calvinistic]] [[Presbyterianism]]. The college was later the center of a [[Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy]] which ultimately led to the formation of [[Westminster Theological Seminary]] under the leadership of [[J. Gresham Machen]].

While Princeton Theological Seminary and [[Princeton University]] are today separate entities, there is reciprocity for use of certain facilities such as the libraries, as well as cross enrollment in classes.

'''Warrenpoint''' ({{derive|Irish|An Phointe|the point}} - alternatively ''Rinn Mhic Giolla Rua'' meaning "the promontory/point of the red-haired servant") is a small [[town]] in [[County Down]], [[Northern Ireland]], lying on [[Carlingford Lough]]. In the [[United Kingdom Census 2001|2001 Census]] it had a population of 7,000. It is known for the [[Maiden of the Mournes]] festival, the Blues on the Bay music festival and for the nearby [[Narrow Water Castle]] dating from the [[1660s]]. Also nearby is the [[Burren Heritage Centre]]. The town docks are capable of handling large vessels.

== History ==

Warrenpoint is a modern parish. Previously it was part of Clonallon parish. The town, in Ringmacilroy town land consisted of only a few fishermens' and oystermens' huts.

Its scenic beauty and coastal location instigated rapid development so that the population in [[1824]] was 500 and in [[1831]] was 1,000. In [[1836]] there was a school, a court house, a Savings Bank and a Farming Society. In [[1846]] the population was 683.

Fairs were held once a month and a market every Friday. However, in the mid-[[19th century]], [[Newry]] merchants obtained a government grant to create a tidal dock at the village, as prior to [[1850]] ships of above 150 tonnes could not get further up the lough than Narrow Water. All goods had to be transported by land after [[1849]], by rail to Newry.

With the advent of the [[Newry, Warrenpoint and Rostrevor Railway]] opening in [[1849]], the way of life changed for the residents of Warrenpoint and the former mode of transport became obsolete overnight. Warrenpoint railway station opened on [[9 May]] [[1849]] (and finally closed on [[4 January]] [[1965]])<ref>{{cite web | title= Warrenpoint station| work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-09-07}}</ref>. Thousands flocked to the resort every year, where most took the passenger Ferry to Omeath in the Irish Republic. The Ferry still operates to this day but only in the summer months. A bandstand in the park provided concerts and a swimming pool was built in [[1908]].

Warrenpoint has seen violence during the course of [[the Troubles]]; for more information see [[The Troubles in Warrenpoint]].

== Places of interest ==

Old Narrow Water Castle just outside the town is a three-storey [[tower house]] built in [[1560]] to protect the entrance to the [[Newry]] river estuary. Across the road is the New Narrow Water Castle built in [[1840]]. There is also a golf club in Warrenpoint which has held many competitions over the years; recently it held the Ulster boys and it also held the Ladies European Tour in 2003.

Today a small,though modern passenger ferry service operates out of Warrenpoint to the quaint village of Omeath in Co.Louth. The trip, amid spectacular scenery, takes about 15 minutes. The ferry service is over 100 years in existence. Nowadays, it is seasonal and operates daily in the summer months, from the end of May to September. Other cruises include trips to Narrow-Water Castle and Bay & Harbour Cruises.

The Links 18 hole golf course is of a very high standard and is a popular venue for visitors.

Two small inland lakes , the "Mill Dam " and the "Waterworks" offer a variety of fishing for locals and visitors. A permit is needed to fish these lakes located about 1km from the town centre.

The town was also used as a backdrop for [[Bundoran]] in the film ''[[The Butcher Boy]]'', especially the exterior of the Star of the Sea Convent and the Victorian swimming baths.

The Kabin is also situated in the town, it is widely know in the town for its 12 o Clock closing time making it the much needed last stop shop for dumbasses that forgot to purchase milk when they were asked too. In a movement to discourage people from waiting until the last moment, The Kabin raised its milk price from £1:05 to £1:30. This price ended up remaining as the full price of milk in the town since August 2007

Tervagant

In [[Middle Ages|Medieval Europe]], '''Termagant''' was the name given to a god supposedly worshiped by [[Islam|Muslims]].

==Origin of the concept==
European [[literature]] from the [[Middle Ages]] often referred to Muslims as [[paganism|pagans]], or by [[sobriquet]]s such as ''the paynim foe''. These depictions represent Muslims worshiping [[Muhammad]] as a god, and depict them worshiping various deities in the form of [[Idolatry|idols]] ([[cult image]]s), ranging from [[Apollo]] to [[Lucifer]], but their chief deity was typically named Termagant, rather than [[Allah]].

The origin of the name Termagant is unknown, and does not seem to derive from any actual aspect of Muslim belief or practice, however wildly distorted. [[W. W. Skeat]] in the 19th century, speculated that the name was originally "Trivagante", meaning 'thrice wandering', a reference to the moon, because of the Islamic use of crescent moon imagery. An [[Anglo-Saxon language|Anglo-Saxon]] origin has also been suggested, from ''tyr magan'' ("very mighty"), referring to the [[Germanic paganism|Germanic god]] [[Tyr]]. Another possibility is that it derives from a confusion between Muslims and the [[Zoroastrian]] [[Magi]] of ancient [[Iran]]: thus ''tyr-magian'', or "Magian god".

==Termagant in literature==
Whatever its origins, "Termagant" became established in the West as the name of the principal Muslim god, being regularly mentioned in [[metrical romance]]s and ''[[chanson de geste|chansons de geste]]''. In the 15th-century Middle English romance ''[[Guy of Warwick|Syr Guy of Warwick]]'', a [[Sultan]] swears an oath:

:''So help me, Mahoune, of might,''
:''And Termagant, my god so bright.''

In the ''[[Chanson de Roland]]'', the Muslims, having lost the battle of [[Roncesvalles]], desecrate their "pagan [[idolatry|idols]]" (lines 2589 - 2590):
:''E Tervagan tolent sun escarbuncle, / E Mahumet enz en un fosset butent,''
:''They strip the fire-red gem off Termagant / And throw Mohammed down into a ditch. . . .''

In [[Geoffrey Chaucer]]'s ''[[Canterbury Tales]]'', the ''Tale of Sir Thopas'' (supposed to be told by Chaucer himself on the pilgrimage) is a parody of these [[Romance (genre)|chivalric romances]]. In the tale, a [[giant (mythology)|giant]] [[knight]] named "Sir Oliphaunt" is made to swear an oath by Termagant.

Termagant also became a [[stock character]] in a number of [[medieval literature|medieval]] [[mystery play]]s. On the [[theatre|stage]], Termagant was usually depicted as a [[turban]]ned creature who wore a long, Eastern style [[gown]]. As a stage-[[villain]], he would rant at and threaten the lesser villains who were his servants and worshipers.

=="Termagant" as a shrewish woman==
{{wiktionary}}
Because of the theatrical tradition, by [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] day the term had come to refer to a bullying person. [[Henry IV, part 1|''Henry IV'']] contains a reference to "that hot termagant Scot". In [[Hamlet]] the hero says of ham actors that "I would have such a fellow whipped for o'er-doing Termagant, it out-Herod's Herod". [[Herod]], like Termagant, was also a character from medieval drama who was famous for ranting.

Mainly because of Termagant's depiction in long gowns, given that female roles were routinely played by male actors in Shakespearean times, English audiences got the mistaken notion that the character was female, or at least that he resembled a mannish woman. As a result, the name ''termagant'' came increasingly applied to a woman with a quarrelsome, scolding quality, and thus the name applies today to a quarrelsome, scolding woman.

''[[Virago]]'' and ''[[shrew]]'' are also [[pejorative]] names for other types of unpleasant, aggressive woman. The manipulative and domineering [[Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough]] has often been presented as a termagant.<ref>Frances Harris specifically avoids this one-dimensional characterisation in ''A Passion for Government: The Life of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press) 1991.</ref>

==Other Termagants==
* [[HMS Termagant (R89)|HMS Termagant]] is a longstanding [[ship's name]] in the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Royal Navy]].
* In the fictional ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' universe, Termagants are a type of [[tyranid]], creatures that resemble dinosaurs or insects.
* In [[Jack Vance]]'s book, [[The Dragon Masters]], a sub-species of "dragon" is the man-sized termagant
*In Washington Irving's [[Rip Van Winkle]], Dame Van Winkle is described by the narrator as being a "termagant wife."
