The Sleeping Warrior Blog » Caoimhe http://sleepingwarrior.com/blog A view from the mountains of North-West Ireland Fri, 11 May 2012 19:33:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 The Caoimhe Channel http://sleepingwarrior.com/blog/the-caoimhe-channel/ http://sleepingwarrior.com/blog/the-caoimhe-channel/#comments Sat, 13 Jun 2009 14:15:13 +0000 admin http://sleepingwarrior.com/blog/?p=157 OK…had to do it. Caoimhe now has her own Youtube Channel and if you’re lucky you get an HD button too as it’s all footage shot on our ProHD JVC GY-HD111e workhorse.
The Caoimhe Ní Ruairc Youtube Channel

Mind you…what with the workload you’ll have to excuse the edits and production being basic.  When she’s old enough she can do her own production. She seems keen to get going anyway judging by this pic we took in Olhos de Agua in Portugal last week. Mind you, I would say that seeing as the good old Digi8 Handicam is almost obsolete now…regrettably..that it would be a museum piece by the time she gets to use it. I have to admit being a fan of Digi8 for consumer diary video..nice big cams with low shake and big tapes. Most of them shoot better DV than the average SD MiniDV consumer cams. Anyway..she’ll probably be doing online mastering of films on something the size of an iPhone by the time she gets to that age.

So…nearly always it’s pronounced Qwee-vah. There are some counties in Ireland that would say Kee-vah but they are in a minority. I’m told by many Irish speakers that Qweevah is the correct old Irish pronunciation. So there you go..

Her name is pronounced Qweevah Sheila and seeing as both myself and Serita have the surname O’Rourke from birth, Caoimhe has a double dose of the O’Rourke gene..and hopefully a cure for the mumps or something else.

On the subject of genes, I’ll be posting later details of my genes…as tested by the Breifne Clans DNA project. It’s all rocket science to me but basically they are saying that I’m carrying a very unique gene…as in an O’Rourke one which is traceable back over 1500 years or something…bearing out the history of the Clan lineage from the Irish Annals and a direct descendant from Niall of the Nine Hostages.  That’s one of the  guys who brought St.Patrick to Ireland…and a fact I’m not totally comfortable with as the Church has been the bane of this country for far too long.  It seems I’m in the same unique category as the O’Connor Don too. When I can digest more I’ll post it.
