Steve9347 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Oh my f***ing god, this online test for Cook County to "avoid conviction" for my whopping 73/55 is ridiculous. It times out the "continue" button regardless of how quickly you can read. I'm stuck here waiting 30 seconds to a minute beyond when I'm done reading. I just got a 100% on the "assessment", but apparently that's not good enough to skip this. Stupid Cook County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just found out that my great-great uncle, Clarence (Billy, Clare) Finucane played with the White Sox during their ST in Pasadena in 1938. He also played for a few minor league affiliates. We have some pictures at home of him wearing the big league club's uni and stuff at home. Real cool and I can't believe I didn't know it, proud to be a Sox fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he and the rest of that part of my family hail from Cappamore, Ireland! Apparently that is in the general vicinity of Limerick, though it appears to be a really small and rather isolated community from Google Maps.

When you say "hail from", was he actually born there himself or just that the family's origins were there. Yeah, it's near Limerick alright. A small enough spot, as you say. Amazing it never came up in conversation all these years. You must've been absolutely buzzing when you found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing it never came up in conversation all these years. You must've been absolutely buzzing when you found out. The baseball player was born in Chicago. His father (we call him "Grandpa Finny" though he's my great-great grandfather) was born and raised in Cappamore and was a prize fighter who fought in Chicago and the surrounding areas. http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/bfinuc.htm I came across this picture of Clare playing for some team in Minneapolis: http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff417/...ps2ed6ae12.jpeg And here he is, behind the plate in Pasadena for the ChiSox: Anyways, I suppose it doesn't accomplish much to know these things but it makes me proud regardless. The story everyone tells at the Finucane family reunions was about the prize fighter, so I never realized there was someone with a connection to a sport (and team) much closer to my heart. The kicker is that he was supposedly a Cubs fan Edited January 8, 2013 by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Anyone know when companies generally start posting summer internships? I keep checking daily for some newspapers and nada. Though I don't even know where I'd look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep checking daily for some newspapers and nada. Though I don't even know where I'd look. What area are you looking into? Most companies looking for business and engineering internships filled up in the Fall, though there are still plenty of companies who changed their mind/expanded their programs/etc still looking for interns.
