When the itch to wander beckons, artists answer the summons with the spirit of an explorer and the anticipation of discovery. This month more than 50 leading North American painters celebrate wanderlust-inspired art in an invitational landscape exhibition at Howard/Mandville Gallery in downtown Kirkland, WA. The show opens with a reception on Friday, May 12, at 5 p.m. All paintings are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. "The artists are all highly regarded and have an established following," gallery co-owner Pat Howard says of the show's esteemed roster, which includes Joseph Alleman, Lynn Boggess, Brent Cotton, Douglas Fryer, Jim McVicker, and Andrew Skorut. "It should be a phenomenal show."
The exhibition pays homage to traditional representations of the landscape, but each artist brings one or more new works that showcase his or her signature vision and style, from impressionism to contemporary realism. And as Romona Youngquist points out, everyone's concept of wanderlust is different. For the Oregon-based artist, whose studio overlooks a sprawling vineyard in Dundee's lush wine country, the urge to wander doesn't call for a passport. "For most people, the show's theme probably means traveling far away to see different things, but my wanderlust is kind of boring," she says, chuckling at the irony. "I love wandering around my area, finding new roads, taking drives, seeing new farms."
One of Youngquist's local plein-air excursions last summer set the scene for her sizable studio painting NEARBY FARM, in which thick, violet-tinged thunderheads hover over a clamorous field of wild red poppies. Against the horizon, a farmhouse hides snugly behind a canopy of leafy trees. "If I happen upon the right scene with the right light," she says, "I'm inspired."
Inspiration is nearby, too, for Seattle native Michael Ferguson, who finds endless appeal in the rugged beauty of the Cascade Mountains. "The visual drama here never gets old for me," says Ferguson, whose plein-air studies inform his larger, contemporary-style studio works. SUMMIT CHIEF TARN, one of three alpine scenes he brings, depicts a luminous mountain lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, an area the artist has hiked for years. "This little tarn is so charming, with the lighting in the sky nicely reflected in it," he says. "My lifetime of hiking in these mountains has given me decades of rich memories that continue to fuel my art."
Stunning landscapes in farther-flung corners of the world are not overlooked, and artists like impressionistic realist painter Kyle Stuckey celebrate them with equal thrill. Last year the seasoned globe-trotter spent two months traveling and painting in Italy. His studio work VIEW FROM TIVOLI was inspired by a visit to the historic hillside town overlooking Rome. "It was just one of those perfect days, as though everything was in harmony," he says, recalling the peace he felt. The wanderlust theme hits home for Stuckey, a New Hampshire native who today resides in Charleston, SC. "I like to see what other artists see in the world and what excites them," he says, "and how each individual artist decides to tell their story about that place." —Kim Agricola

Wedding Photographers covering North Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire and the rest of the UK
Welcome to Fox and Bear Photography.
We are Vicky and Dewi Clough, a husband and wife wedding photography team.
Dewi is the photographer behind the lens, whilst Vicky works on everything post production.
We live in the Snowdonia mountain region of North Wales and work across Cheshire, Shropshire, the UK and beyond.
We LOVE to create intimate, natural and emotive wedding photos. For us, wedding photography is about capturing your day with honest and personal images. Encapsulating the raw emotion, the love, the joy.
"You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things." ― Jamie Tworkowski
Our Story
About us
Our story is a simple one. In 2005, a boy met a girl. Years later, there are rings on our fingers and a cub called Freya.
noun: Bear
Found in many habitats, from the fringes of deserts to high mountain forests, alpine meadows and coastlines. They are intelligent, curious creatures, have excellent memories and acute senses. Has an excellent eye for photography.
alias: Dewi Clough
If we're going to get into the nitty gritty of who I am, first and foremost you must know that I am a nerd. If you want me to chat your ear off just ask me about my favourite board games (I don't have a set favourite but I'm loving Escape from the Dark Castle at the moment). I studied Film and TV production in York and it's given me a deep love for film. I'm a daily black coffee drinker and have a crazy sweet tooth. When you get married it's me who will be by your side. Capturing the day as it unfolds.
noun: Fox
Social creatures, highly adaptable to living in different environments. Often characterised as cunning, foxes are resourceful, intelligent creatures. Makes a damn good wedding album.
alias: Vicky Clough
Dewi would affectionately describe me as a 'teachers pet'. Although I wouldn't go as far as to say that, I have been known to enjoy a test. Briefly summed up, I'm a tea drinking, cake baking, slipper-wearing-fighter for women's rights with a love for all things beautiful.
You probably won't see me at your wedding, but I'm working hard behind the scenes making sure that your photos look their absolute best when you receive them.
The Fox and Bear Philosophy
We care about beautiful, intimate wedding photography.
We adore natural light and love nothing more than getting outdoors and letting nature influence the photos we produce.
We have a relaxed, informality to our work, which allows our couples to enjoy their day as it's unfolding, safe in the knowledge that their photos will reflect the joy and love they have for each other.
Each moment, each glance, each emotion; captured beautifully.

Customer Reviews
All reviews are from people who have redeemed deals with this merchant.
What You'll Get
Early attempts at recycling—such as using chewing gum to patch leaky coffee pots and converting banana peels into prom corsages—failed abysmally. Introduce wardrobes to modern conservation techniques with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of repurposed apparel and accessories at Funk Your Junk.
Funk Your Junk's creative owners stock their shelves with a variety of re-imagined fashion items and once-discarded objects given new life as wearable accessories. The store's recycling wizards collect packaging from products such as Pop Tarts, M&M's, and Double Bubble before attaching fabric loops and fusing on zippers to transform once-landfill-bound wrappings into small ($12), medium ($14), and large ($16) pouches to hold both loose change and the conjoined variety. Colourful hats ($20–$60) await men's and women's head-top perches, scarves ($10) weave around necks, and buttons ($3 for one or $10 for four) give fabric surfaces added personality. Meanwhile, troll dolls ($8–$18) are just one of the shop's ever-changing eclectic items, which also include old school bells and typewriters with their own writing style.

boom in male grooming continues apace – and according to Braun's new ambassador Andrew Davis, it isn't all about tapping into one's inner metrosexual, despite what some brands would have you believe.
You'll be forgiven for not recognising Davis' name, but if you're a fan of the respective looks of Tom Cruise, Tinie Tempah, Amir Khan or Daniel Craig, then you're well and truly acquainted with his work.
Over the years he's consulted for D&G and Calvin Klein and worked at magazines including Arena Home and The Face, so it's pretty safe to say that he knows a thing or two about grooming.
I caught up with him to find out his top five tips and ideas to style your facial hair without the fuss.
I am a massive fan of a nice full beard and they have become a key fashion accessory over the past few years. For best results, keep the back and sides of your hair short and classic and your beard hair neat and tidy, for an easily maintained but polished style. The Braun CruZer6 is good for dealing with unruly head and facial hair.
If you're on the more ambitious side, why not take the plunge and experiment with your moustache? One of my favourite trends for this season, which is by no means for the faint hearted, is a pronounced but polished look I like to call, the "moon raker." Keep hair gelled back off the face to make sure the moustache is the main focal point. Make sure the shape you go for stays tidy by using a trimmer.
This is the perfect look for a guy who enjoys a relaxed off-duty style and is not afraid of some healthy stubble. Three days before the desired look is required, have a clean shave. Then, using a shaver, tailor the length of your stubble to achieve an undone but polished look.
If you're afraid of a full beard and don't feel you're suave enough for a styled moustache or goatee, a traditional, neat style with defined sideburns is for you. After growing out your facial hair for a week or so, trim your beard and sideburns so the length is consistent all over. Team with a tweed jacket or wool flat cap to top it off and you're sorted.
Although facial hair has become a key fashion accessory, body hair should still be kept tidy and to a minimum. If you're jetting off to a sunny destination this winter, make sure you are prepared and don't have too much body hair on show. Excess body hair is still a no-no.

The Bugler
What do you do for attention if you are seeking public office and you are already more than eight inches taller than the average male of your time? Don a top hat of course. The November 2013 issue of Smithsonian documents a fascinating collection of stories about "101 Objects That Made America." According to one story in the magazine, "Lincoln's Top Hat" by Stephen L. Carter, "Lincoln probably chose the hat as a gimmick." The stovepipe hat was traditionally seven or eight inches high making Lincoln appear close to 7 feet tall. The hat was also a little worn and shabby and as one historian noted, gave Lincoln a "look of unassuming simplicity." This unassuming simple man became not only the tallest president that the United States has ever had but also the most quoted United States president.
Today is the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which he delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' Cemetery that serves as the final resting spot for 3512 Union soldiers who died in the Battle of Gettysburg. According to NPS.gov, most of the Confederate soldiers who died at Gettysburg are buried in a special section at the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. Every school child and most adults know "Four score and seven years ago" and the part about "all men are created equal." The entire address is only 270 words long. There are only five known copies of his address; one version is 268, while another is 272. We will average and say 270. Four score is catching but the last sentence is truly the most important.

Address Delivered at the Dedication of the Cemetery at Gettysburg
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth..

This week also marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Like his presidential forefather, Kennedy was a great orator. At the time of his election he was the youngest person and first Irish Catholic ever elected to lead our country and although he served only a little more than a 1000 days, he is regarded as one of our most popular presidents. He was a U.S. Navy officer in WWII and was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for Heroism after his boat, PT 109, was attacked in the South Pacific by a Japanese destroyer. (See History.com to read more about the life and time of Kennedy.) He charged all Americans to do more in his inaugural speech when he said, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." He encouraged us to move forward and not accept the status quo. A few of his famous quotations include "Change is the law of life. And those who only look to the past or the present are certain to miss the future," "Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names" and "Democracy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone will fail."
Thanks to modern technology, watch and listen to Kennedy's inaugural speech on YouTube.

The Chile national football team (Selección de fútbol de Chile) represents Chile in all major international football competitions and is controlled by the Federación de Fútbol de Chile which was established in 1895. The team is commonly referred to as La Roja ("The Red One").

"At first, it was so cool because people had noticed me, and James Harden noticed me, and it's great, and for that I was very appreciative," Plum said. "But it continued to go further, and I think people struggled to find a woman to compare me with, so they went to men as the default. And that's fine, but I also want to be compared with Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird and players like that.

A Polk County jury handed Jane Meyer a sweeping victory Thursday in her discrimination lawsuit against the University of Iowa, awarding her $1.43 million in damages.
The jury of five women and three men ruled in Meyer's favor on all five of her claims — gender and sexual orientation discrimination, retaliation and whisteblower violations, and unequal pay.
Grant: "From my observations over the last 40 years, women in athletics, particularly, are very, very hesitant to speak up when they think things are not the way they ought to be because they pay such a high price for speaking up. I can't tell you the number of women I personally know who have been released from athletic departments simply because they tried to get the athletic departments to do the right thing.
"It's a very dangerous thing for a woman to do, because if she brings up a problem, then she's gone. It's been heartbreaking to watch this over the decades. And as you know, the women in administration and coaching have been steadily disappearing from the scene in intercollegiate athletics since Title IX was passed. You need only look at the data, and it's so sad. We are releasing very talented women from an area that they are highly qualified for.
For almost four years, Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir has been sidelined from doing what she loves most: playing basketball. A 5'5″ point guard powerhouse from Springfield, Massachusetts, she holds the scoring record for high school players—male or female—in the state and went on to a successful college career at Indiana State and the University of Memphis. After graduating, she wanted to turn pro and play in Europe, but Abdul-Qaadir was unable to pursue this dream—not because of anything to do with her talent but because of her religious practice.
On the first high school girls basketball team she coached, Donna Richey wrote the players' numbers on the back of plain T-shirts. With no busing budgeted, she and other teachers would pile the kids in their cars to take them to games. Most parents either could not or refused to pay the $8 for the school's insurance, so Richey covered it out of her own pocket.
Richey made history at Aliquippa, establishing a basketball program that would go on to win two state championships under her leadership. She started that team without the support of the school or even a league in which to play.
"There are coaches who come out and think it all just happened this way. That's certainly not the case," Richey said. "For females, someone needed to pave the way."

PETERSBURG, VA (WWBT) - Six days after tragedy struck Newtown, Conn., Petersburg Police Chief John I. Dixon III met with Vice President Joe Biden for top-level discussions on gun violence. The three hour, closed door meeting with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and five other police chiefs from across the nation focused on what measures could keep powerful weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
"[Biden] said he'll deal with the politics," Dixon said in an interview Thursday. "He wanted to hear how we thought we should solve some of those problems."
President Obama created the gun violence task force to devise new gun safety proposals by January. Dixon said no concrete measures were adopted at the Dec. 20 meeting in Washington, but the group of a dozen people focused on new laws concerning assault weapons.
"We talked about redefining assault weapons and what assault weapons are," Dixon said. "Who should actually be allowed to have assault weapons? Should it be an everyday thing? Or should it be a process you have to go through to get an assault weapon?"
Increasing the scope and duration of background checks was a second measure suggested by most officials on the task force.
"The problem is, [background checks have] such a short turn around. And you don't have the time to actually go through the process and make sure this person should receive a hand gun."
The White House selected Dixon for the task force because of his position as vice president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. He has served as Petersburg's police chief for five years, and said he wants to hear ideas from residents to take to the next meeting in late January.
"I encourage people to send their ideas to my email address, email@example.com." Dixon said. "They can also leave me messages by calling the police department at (804) 732-4222."

St. Lourdes
Our Lady of Lourdes is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary invoked by Roman Catholics in honor of the Marian apparitions which are said to have taken place before various individuals on separate occasions around Lourdes, France.
Most prominently among these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when Saint Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old peasant girl admitted to her mother that a "lady" spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle, (a mile from the town) while gathering firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar appearances of the "lady" were reported on seventeen further occasions that year.
Bernadette Soubirous was later canonized as a Saint, and Roman Catholics and some Protestants believe her apparitions have been validated by the overwhelming popularity and testament of healings claimed to have taken place at the Lourdes water spring.
In 1862, Pope Pius IX authorized the Bishop Bertrand-Sévère Laurence to permit the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes. This Marian title, Our Lady of Lourdes has been widely copied and reproduced, often displayed in shrines or homes, most notably in garden landscape.
Angels around Church
What are angels?
An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will.
The English word "angel" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. In the Old Testament, with two exceptions, the Hebrew word for "angel" is malak, also meaning 'messenger'. The prophet Malachi took his name from this word. He was himself a messenger, and he prophesied about the coming of "the messenger of the covenant", Jesus Christ (Malachi 3:1).
Although the word "angel" in the Bible, meaning a messenger, nearly always applies to heavenly beings, it can occasionally apply to human messengers. Malachi himself said a priest was a messenger (malak) of the LORD of hosts (Malachi 2:7), and in the Book of Revelation the elders of the seven churches of Asia were called angels (1:20; 2:1 etc.). But when we meet messengers doing supernatural things, there is no doubt they are heavenly beings - God's messengers, working for Him and for the ultimate benefit of mankind.
How do we know angels exist?
The Scriptures give us no indication of the precise time of the creation of angels; their existence is assumed at the earliest times. Our Lord often spoke of angels; in the New Testament they are numerous and seven orders are mentioned: Angels, Powers, Principalities, Dominions (ations), Thrones and Archangels the Old Testament specifically mentions two others Seraph (im) and Cherub(im).
God bestowed upon angels great wisdom, freedom, and power, and their many appearances in the New Testament are indication of the lead role assigned to them. Both the New Testament and Old Testament refer also to the fallen angels. The Temptation of Adam and Eve presupposes the existence of bad spirits or demons who were cast into hell from which they have no hope of redemption. Angels are purely spiritual or bodiless persons (Mt 11:30), some of whom behold the face of God and thus are in bliss (Mt 18:10).
These spiritual beings comprise the celestial court and are called angels (from the Greek for "messenger") because, according to the Bible, they carry out missions at God's command. In order to complete these missions, they can at times assume bodily form. According to the Bible, their missions are sometimes of great importance - eg, the Annunciation (Lk 1:26; 2:9-14).
Like us , the angels are the objects of God's grace and love. But because, unlike us they are non-bodily creatures, their response to God's love did not require time and reflection to grow and mature. As soon as they were created and received grace, they had the opportunity to respond to God's love and thus be welcomed into bliss. While many did so, some did not. Perhaps the most significant continuing activity of the good angels is to be the agents of God's particular providence for mankind. Thus, the Church teaches that everyone has a guardian angel, based on references to them throughout the Bible.
Why did God Create Angels?
The Creator Himself is so powerful and glorious that He cannot be approached in person by human beings. He alone "hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto: whom no man hath seen, nor can see (1 Timothy 6:16). Angels do not have man's shortcomings, and can therefore act for God and represent Him when communicating with men and women. They bridge the huge gap between the holiness and perfection of God in heaven and the shortcomings of dying people on this planet. Angels were made immortal (that is, never to die). Their eternal quality was spoken of by Jesus when he said:
"They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God. being the children of the resurrection." (Luke 20:35.36)
Jesus was saying that, in the same way as the angels (the children or "sons" of God) live for ever and are of one gender, so those who will be called the "sons" and "daughters" of God when Jesus returns will also live for ever and will not marry.
Angels with Names
Only occasionally are the angels given names. "Michael", for instance, was "the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people (Israel)" (Daniel 12:1). Undoubtedly, among the most significant of angelic appearances were those by the angel whose name was "Gabriel". He was sent twice to the prophet Daniel. On the second occasion Daniel was at prayer, and Gabriel, "being caused to fly swiftly, touched me ... and talked with me" and proceeded to prophesy the date of the first coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Daniel 9:21-27).
There was therefore great expectation among the Jews at the time when Jesus Christ was about to be born, and this was heightened by the personal appearance of Gabriel again, firstly to Zacharias the priest while on duty in the temple, and then to Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph. To Zacharias, the angel announced. "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God: and am sent to speak unto thee" (Luke 1:19). We notice that angels can stand in the glorious presence of the LORD. whereas men cannot. and angels are sent to do whatever God wishes. His mission here was to announce the miraculous birth of John the Baptist.
Six months later, Gabriel appeared to Mary, who was in the royal line of King David. Her prayer, said the angel, had found favour with God, and she would be the mother of the expected Messiah. Gabriel told her that she would conceive through the power of the Holy Spirit and her son would be Jesus, the Saviour, and he would be the Son of God and would occupy the royal throne of David (Luke 1:26-33). It was an extraordinary meeting because Mary was not yet married. Nothing is impossible with God! Joseph, her husband-to-be, also received angelic messages advising him what steps to take in this unique situation.
When Jesus came to be born in Bethlehem, the birth was the signal for a glorious witness of divine approval, seen by shepherds:
"An angel of the Lord (could this have been Gabriel?) appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear ... And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!'" (Luke 2:9-14, RSV)
Who are our Guardian Angels?
No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent, for to His Angels God has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Psalm 91: 10-12 A heavenly spirit assigned by God to watch over each of us during our lives. The doctrine of angels is part of the Church's tradition. The role of the guardian angel is both to guide us to good thoughts, works and words, and to preserve us from evil. Since the 17th century the Church has celebrated a feast honoring them in October throughout the Universal Church. Since the last calendar revision this feast is Oct 2.
He has charged His angels with the ministry of watching and safeguarding every one of His creatures that behold not His face. Kingdoms have their angels assigned to them, and men have their angels; these latter it is to whom religion designates the Holy Guardian Angels. Our Lord says in the Gospel, "Beware lest ye scandalize any of these little ones, for their angels in heaven see the face of My Father." The existence of Guardian Angels, is, hence a dogma of the Christian faith: this being so, what ought not our respect be for that sure and holy intelligence that is ever present at our side; and how great our solicitude be, lest, by any act of ours, we offend those eyes which are ever bent upon us in all our ways!
Prayers to our Guardian Angels
Angels of the early Church
Revelations the Lord addresses each of the seven Churches by means of instructing angels to record His dictation. These 'secretary' angels are the angels of the Churches:
- Church of Ephesus (Rv 2:1)
- of Smyrna (Rv 2:8)
- of Pergamum (Rv 2:12)
- of Thyatira (Rv 2:18)
- of Sardis (Rv 3:1)
- of Philadelphia (Rv 3:7)
- of Laodices (Rv 3:14)
Man Made Lower than the Angels
When the first man was being created:
"Let us make man in our image. after our likeness ... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:26-27)
This does not mean that the first of the human race had exactly the same physical nature as the angels, for the angels were made to live for ever. Adam and Eve were not made never-dying: they did sin, and they suffered death as the punishment for it. That is why the whole human race has been dying ever since.
Psalm 8 is a Psalm in which the creation of the earth is extolled. Here we are told that man's position is lower than the angels:
"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? ... For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour." (Psalm 8:4,5)
The New Testament quotes this passage, and tells us that mankind - including the Lord Jesus himself - was made a little lower than the angels, "for the suffering of death" (Hebrews 2:9). Angels do not die, but men and women do. Even Jesus, the Son of God, was a mortal man, but has now received the glory and honour which was his due when, as he said after his resurrection, "all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18).
The Fallen Angels (Demons)
These beings, because of pride, did not return God's love. God did not destroy them, but permits them a limited scope of activity. Their condition is permanent for no creature can turn away from the perfect good of the beatific vision once he has come to enjoy it, and no additional reflection could change the mind of a purely spiritual being who has turned away.
Demons are fallen angels under the command of Satan, those who are still free after the Gen. 6 affair. Satan is called the Prince, or Ruler, of all demons in Matthew 9:34; 12:24; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15. Demons are also called the ministers, or ambassadors of Satan, Luke 4:35; 9:1,42; John 10:21. Satan is brilliant, an administrative genius. He has an excellent organization, mentioned in Eph. 6:10-12 (READ) The Bible also makes a distinction between demon possession and demon influence.
History of the Church
The history of Shrine Basilica is closely connected with the history of the conversion of the PARAVARS (Tuticorin), the indigenous people of the Pearl Fishery Coast. In fact, Our Lady of Snows, is fondly called in Portuguese senhora, Das Nevis which means Our Lady of Snows. She has been given the unique title of Yelu Kadalthurai, Yega Adikala Thai in Tamil which means the Mother of Refuge for the seven major coastal villages, viz Vembar, Vaippar, Thoothukudi (Snows Basilica, Tuticorin), Punnaikayal, Virapandianpatinam, Thiruchendur and Manapad (Thoothukkudi District).
Once the paravars of Pearl Fishery Coast had a sharp dispute with the Muslims of this area regarding the right of Pearl Fishing. The Pattankattimar (The leaders of Parava villages) requested the Portuguese to rescue them form the cruelties of the Muslims and the Portuguese and the Muslims were routed. As a token of gratitude to their redeemers, the Portuguese, the Paravars from about 22 villages numbering about 30,000 embraced Christianity in the y ear 1535-37 . In October 1542, St. Francis Xavier arrived on the shores of the Pearl Fishery Coast to catechize them and strengthen them further in their faith.
Soon there arose a great religious persecution by the Nayak of Madurai who had by this time taken control of the Pearl Fishery Coast. They set fire to churches and houses of Catholics. Hence the Paravars left Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ) and fled to a nearby Island named Raja Theevu (known as Hare-island today). They took along with them the statue of Our Lady of Snows and solemnly installed it in a newly built church there. It was there till the Jesuits returned to Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ) in 1610.
Another tradition says that during the war, the church of Our Lady of Snows at Raja Theevu was destroyed and therefore, the people removed the statue from there and installed it in a small chapel of St. John the Baptist at Sivanthakulam near Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ). When the Dutch occupied that area, they carried away the statue to a church at Korkai. And it was brought back to Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ) in 1699.
The beautiful statue of Our Lady of Snows has always been looked upon as a miraculous one, as many miracles are said to have occurred in the Shrine from the time of its installation at St. Pauls Church, Tuticorin.
The first miracle is narrated by Rev. Fr. Vigilius Mansi himself who built the present Church of Our Lady of Snows. In a letter dated September 24th, 1708 addressed to one Father Maria Ignacy in Rome, he narrates how on April 4th, 1707 at mid-night, a sonorous and fierce thunderbolt fell in his residence where he had kept the miraculous statue for a short time and how he was miraculously saved by Our Lady herself.
The Jesuit report of 1709 by Fr. Francis Vaiz mentions the following miracles.
A newly converted Dutch Officer was attacked by a serious disease. No doctor nor medicine could cure him. The condition became worse day by day. On his death bed, he had recourse to Our Lady drank the water that washed the feet of the miraculous statue of Our Lady of Snows. What a surprise! He began to get well from that moment and he totally embraced the Catholic faith latter.
Two people who were paralyzed and lost all hope of cure, vowed in front of the miraculous statue that they would pray the Rosary daily till the end of their lives and drank with faith the water that washed the feet of the statue. Slowly they were relieved of their paralysis and soon got completely healed.
A supposed to be barren woman with faith drank the oil form the lamp kept near the miraculous statue and was conceived and became a mother of a child.
Once a pious woman had gone to the Shrine to participate in the Novena Service. At that time her hut caught fire by a piece of cloth that fell on the oil lamp. The whole hut should have been burnt to ashes but surprisingly, only that piece of cloth had got burnt!
Even the Hindus who come flocking to Our Lady of Snows acknowledged that they had experienced miracles after praying to Our Lady. Even today we find Hindus and people of other faiths flocking to Our Lady of Snows Church especially during the annual festival days. There are a few sincere devotees who visit the shrine throughout the year.
The holy custom of drinking the water that washes the feet of Our Lady in the statue and using the oil from the lamp are still followed by some devoted people.
As the whole race of Paravars became Christians, they were badly in need of a place of worship. Fr. Pedru Consalves who had baptized these people, built the first church in Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ) in 1538 and dedicated it to his own patron St. Peter; this was the Parish Church for the Parava Christians in Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ) for many years. It is also said St. Francis Xavier, during his stay at Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ), used to celebrate Hole Mass in this Church. Today, a street named, St. Peter Koil Street, tuticorin exists in the Parish area ( Tuticorin ).
Then in 1582, through the efforts of the Jesuits, a church dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy (Senhora de Piedade) was consecrated by the Bishop of Cochin Msgr. Devoura on 5th August, the fesast of Our Lady of Snows. It was in the Jesuit head-quarters in Keracope Street. It was also called St. Pauls Church, Tuticorin. Every year the annual feast was celebrated on 5th August. In 1610 when the miraculous statue of Our Lady of Snows reached Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ), it was solemnly installed in the church of Mother of Mercy and thereafter gradually it came to be called the Church of Our Lady of Snows Basilica.
Wishing to build a beautiful church of Our Lady of Snows Basilica, Fr. Vigilius Mansi whole heartedly took great efforts. He had to face lot of difficulties from the side of the Dutch as well as that of his own people. He obtained permission from the Dutch Government (at Ceylon) to construct a new church for Mother Mary of Snows, tuticorin; swimming against the current, he laid the foundation for the new church on 4th April 1712 and within a year he was able to complete the church. On August 5th 1713, the new church was opened and blessed and the first feast in the new church was celebrated in a very grand scale.
From 1857 onwards, the so called Double Jurisdiction caused a great problem among the Parava-Christians of Pearl Fishery Coast. In the same diocese and sometimes within the same parish at one and the sametime the Portuguese government (Padroado Goa Mission) and the Propaganda Fide (French Mission) had their jurisdiction. Accordingly, the following five coastal parishes came under the Padroado Diocese of Mylapore : Our Lady of Snows Basilica, Thoothukudi, Holy Ghost Manapad, St. Micheals Punnaikayal, Our Lady of Assumption Vaippar and St.Marys Kooduthaai. This condition continued till the new diocese of Thoothukkudi ( Tuticorin ) was erected in 1923. Pope Pius XI through the Apostolic Brief Quae Catholico Nomini dated June 12, 1923 amalgamated the above parishes into the newly created Diocese of Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin ). Accordingly the Church of Our Lady of Snows came under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Thoothukudi ( Tuticorin )on April 11, 1930.
In 1982, when the Church of Our Lady of Snows celebrated the 400th anniversary, Pope John Paul II raised it to the status of Basillica through his apostolic letter Pervenute illa Dei Beatissimae Genitricis Effigies dated 30th July 1982.
It is the greatest honor for a church to be raised to the status of a Basilica. The Greek word Basilica signifies a Royal Hall. In course of time, this word has come to mean a large and beautiful hall. In ancient times, the whole world in general and Rome in particular, erected large halls for administrative purposes. The first hall bearing the name of Basilica existed in Athens. But after the fall of Greeks, the Romans popularized it. It was Julius Caesar who artistically constructed the hall of Basilica Julia for administrative purposes. They are somewhat similar to the Durbar Halls in ancient Indian places.
Christ being the king and His Church being His Audience the larger Christian Churches in Rome, came to be called Basilicas. Naturally these Basilicas were large, roomy, bright and ornamental. Today, for a church to be raised to the status of Basilica certain conditions are to be fulfilled:
The Church, usually is built with front facing the east.
Generally it is constructed in one of the classical styles of architecture.
It should contain some works of art or house the body of a Saint or a celebrated statue venerated in the land or it should be a place of pilgrimage
The Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Snows is fascine East; constructed in the Portuguese architecture; it houses the celebrated and miraculous statue of Our Lady of Snows, most beautifully carved out of wood and hence it is a great piece of art. Thus the Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Snows deserves to be called a Basilica in the true sense of the word!
In Rome itself there are 13 Basilicas and of which 5 are major and 8 are minor ones.
Basilicas are usually under the supervision of Cardinals and accorded special privileges. In India there are several minor basilicas, like Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Bandra in Mumbai, the Basilica of Born Jesus in Goa, the Basilica of San Thome in Chennai, the Basilica of Our Lady of Health at Velankanni, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes, Poondi.
The mother instinct is the deeper-most instinct in any living being because the very origin and continuity of life is very much connected with a mother. A mother stands for love and security, the most basic needs of any living being. Hence, it is natural that human beings adore Motherhood and Tamils, have deeper sentiments towards mother than any other race. Almost all religions have somehow developed this concept of Mother God and sometimes a host of Goddesses!
The concept of Mary as Our Mother in the Catholic faith fully satisfies this basic human need of the people. Yet, the church is aware of the exaggerations and deviations in this regard. The shrines of Our Lady, often, seem to be occasions for people to deviate from true catholic faith on Mary. Hence, while promoting the devotion to Mary, Our Mother through Shrine Basilica, it is of paramount importance to point out to the people, the true and correct doctrines of the Church on Marian devotion.
True Marian devotion arises from the fact that Mary's is the Mother of Jesus, the incarnate God and therefore, she is honored as the mother of God. The Gospel also confirms this fact: when Mary visited Elizabeth, the later was inspired by the Spirit and cried out
Why this Granted me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Lord in Bible refers to God. Hence Elizabeth herself calls Mary The Mother of God. It is only natural that when we honor God we should also honor His mother.
Marys motherhood rests more on her total surrender to Gods will than on her blood relationship to Jesus. When Jesus said Who is my mother.? whoever does the will of God is my mother. He confirms that Mary is His mother more because she surrendered herself totally to God than she brought Him forth just like any Ordinary mother.
In the Gospel according to St. John, Chapter 2, he narrates the incident of a wedding at Cana in Galilee. When there was a shortage of wine, Mary without being asked by anyone of the wedding party, herself realizing the situation approached her son Jesus. She knew for certain Jesus would do what she asked for and we know from the Gospel that Jesus did listen to his mother and wrought his first miracle. This incident proves that Marys intercession with her son, Jesus is very powerful. Our people, the devotees of Our Blessed Mother Mary, know it too well and believe firmly that if they go to Jesus through the intercession of Mary, their prayers will surely be granted because it is something very common in our day-today life at home the child approaches his mother in order to get things done by his father.
The ordinary people who feel that their prayers in times of their needs have been heard because they come to the Shrine of Our Lady, naturally attribute everything totally to Our Lady Herself, making her almost a God! This is a wrong belief, resulting from pure sentiments. This has to be corrected! we must remember what Mary said to the servants at the wedding at Cana; Do whatever He tells you (Jn 2:5). She always points out to her Son only. She wants us to know and believe that all prayers are granted only by God and she is only a pointer towards God. At the end of the narration of the wedding at Cana; This, first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in galilee and manifested His glory (Jn 2: 11) Mary, therefore, was the cause of Jesus manifesting his glory. We must, therefore, know that Mary would not like to usurp the power of God; She would be happy only when we give her the rightful place in our faith. Hence we must be careful about any exaggeration or deviation in our devotion to Mary Our Blessed Mother.
Let me conclude with the words of William Carrigan, a Marian lecture: Shrines are Our Ladys workshops where she repairs the broken bodies, mends torn hearts and restores sin-scarred souls
Rev. Fr. V. P. Oswald M.A., M.Ed.,
Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Snows,
Thoothukudi (Tuticorin).
Dogmatic Explanation of the Miraculous Statue
Filled with grace and the love of God, the Virgin Mother of God cannot be described easily, nor her miraculous statue. To indicate the fact that the mother of God is clothed with the glory of the brightness of the Great Sun, her diving Son, she is decked with a bright golden habit. She has the waning moon under her feet to signify the trained nature of the world. In the hand, she holds the Child Jesus, the Fruit of her virginal womb, while in the other, she holds a pomegranate fruit to signify both the cursed fruit offered by Satan to make Adam and Eve fall in sin; as well as the immaculate Fruit given by God to Our Blessed Mother.

More women are buying guns than ever before, so much so that media outlets have noticed and are attempting to get at the reasons for the uptick. But none of the stats on firearms purchases have alarmed leftists more than those surrounding black women.
Black women are buying guns, getting trained on them, and being really open about it. Just this week, the Associated Press profiled three such women, all of them black, and proudly boasting of newly acquired guns.

Leocoin Buying And Selling: The Affluence Network – It Has Legs on All Levels
Thank you for coming to The Affluence Network in your search for "Leocoin Buying And Selling" online. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there's no need for large amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions on the planet economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. This mining activity validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it is not a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they take part in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally links in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the correct place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these firms decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. You've probably noticed this many times where you frequently distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What happens if the cost failures? " to date, several POS devices gives free transformation of fiat, improving some problem, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will soon be resistant to put up any. We must find a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to comprehend how the process functions in and of itself, but it is basically crucial that you comprehend that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can just select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Lots of people would rather use a money deflation, especially individuals who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place within your wealth, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Leocoin Buying And Selling. technology due to the many benefits associated with it. That is why the new technology is about to alter the world from the way we see it nowadays. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is expanding the horizon in the field of smart contracts. It is definitely possible, but it must have the ability to understand opportunities no matter marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be alright. It should be challenging to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having little gains is more rewarding than attempting to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there is more volatility and compensation in monies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. You are able to run a search on the web.

Leocoin Buying And Selling – Artificial Intelligence may soon Drive Wealth: The Affluence Network
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the method where it is transacted. All exchanges over a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short-term wherever your customers can dispute or demand a concessions, or use illegal sleight of hand. Used, many professionals could be smart to work with a fee processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto-currency purchases, you need to make sure that safety is tough. With any type of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially access your private secrets and so take your money. However, you most likely can never get it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to follow some excellent secure and safe practices when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so can protect you from all of these unfavorable activities. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much higher chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it's worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This option also creates a secure flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the benefit. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of worth, but there's no real tangible kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed.

– From bugs and bees to plants and trees
Last weekend, the Biodiversity Gardens Project hosted their annual BioBlitz event at Sutton Ecology Centre. The BioBlitz was aimed at gathering as many species records as possible within 24 hours from 'citizen scientists'. People from all over the borough joined us to do their bit for wildlife and get the chance to meet our native species up close.
Friday evening – moth trapping and bat walk
To launch our BioBlitz event, we were joined by families, keen individuals and local wildlife experts for an evening with bats and moths at the Ecology Centre. Biodiversity Manager, Hendryk Jurk, led the evening with a fascinating talk on our local bat and moth species. Amazing facts were to be learnt, such as that caterpillars only have 6 legs and that bats are the only true flying mammal. As dusk approached, the group were supplied with bat detectors and were soon joined by a common pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) swooping over their heads. A check of the moth traps later on in the evening revealed mostly caddis flies. However, some interesting moth species were found nearby, including the beautiful white plume moth (Pterophorus pentadactyla), which looks rather angelic!
Saturday – main BioBlitz event
The main BioBlitz event saw the Ecology Centre grounds transformed into a life-sized board game with 3 zones (Aqua, Jade and Amber) to find and explore.
On arrival, families were given the chance to hire our Nature Discovery Backpacks packed full of wildlife gadgets for kids to use on their exploration of the Ecology Centre. Everyone was equipped with a programme that detailed a map of the 3 zones and a 'stamp' page to collect once each zone had been visited. This entitled our intrepid wildlife explorers to a free copy of our Garden Wildlife Calendar.
The Aqua zone marked the starting point for our BioBlitzers, where they could grab some nets for a spot of pond dipping. One boy managed to find a water scorpion (Nepa cinerea), a species of insect which superficially resembles a real scorpion but has a bite, rather than a sting!
The Jade zone encompassed the meadow area of the Ecology Centre and here people could explore the wonderful world of 'marvellous meadows'. The main event was the Butterfly Sweep, where children and adults could exercise their skills at butterfly catching, with one star butterfly catcher managing to capture 5 butterflies including a brown argus (Arcia agestis).This species is superficially similar to the female common blue, but is distinguished by the lack of white surrounding the orange markings on its upper side (see pic). Children (and adults) were also able to build their very own bee, using pipe cleaners, and take it with them on their journey through the Ecology Centre.
The Amber zone was located deep inside the woods of the Ecology Centre grounds and here people could take part in activities such as minibeast hunting and spider safaris. Local entomologist Stephen Thomas also amazed everyone with his giant stick insect collection, which he bought along to give people the chance to see an insect's anatomy up close.
Throughout the day, there were also opportunities to attend short walks with local wildlife experts on moths, birds, dragonflies & damselflies, wildflowers and reptiles & amphibians. A whole range of interesting animals were to be seen, including a red kite (Milvus milvus) flying over the Ecology Centre, some rare chalk plants, slow worms (Anguis fragilis)and emperor dragonflies (Anex imperator).
Once BioBlitzers had visited each zone and collected their stamps, they submitted their records at the Aqua zone and were given a copy of our free Garden Wildlife Calendar and an Opal magnet as a prize for their efforts.
Overall the BioBlitz was a huge success with over 360 people attending, and many species records being submitted, which are now being verified by the Biodiversity Gardens team. Thanks to everyone who attended, we can get a better view of the distribution of our species and target our conservation efforts more wisely. We hope that everybody who came enjoyed themselves thoroughly and learnt something new about wildlife that they didn't know before.

The long Memorial Day weekend looked to be a cool, rainy bust but Monday was glorious! As they say in Maine, "If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute." Since my daughters were visiting for the weekend, we decided to head to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Can I say that place is a garden-lover's delight?! Even better, all Maine residents got in for free during the weekend – I love a good deal.
While the tulips and daffodils were just past their bloom, but azaleas were out and there were many buds just waiting to pop when the warmer weather arrives.
I'm looking forward to return trips as the summer passes to see the gardens in all their splendor. I especially hope to go during one of their Fairy Village days. There is nothing better than seeing kids enjoy nature and using their imaginations.
Bring on the summer sunshine and frequent day trips!
