New Heritage Plan for Sligo Launched
The new Heritage Plan for County Sligo was launched by the Chair of Sligo Heritage Forum, Cllr Seamus Kilgannon at City Hall, Sligo on Wednesday 23rd March. The plan, which is the third published for Sligo, covers the period 2016 — 2020. It sets out a series of strategic themes and ambitious actions for the built, natural and cultural heritage of Sligo for the next five years.
The Heritage Plan has been prepared by the members of Sligo Heritage Forum with the support of the Heritage Office, Sligo County Council. Implementation of the Plan will be overseen by the Heritage Forum in partnership with Sligo County Council and The Heritage Council.
Speaking at the launch, Leas Cathaoirleach, Cllr. Paul Taylor thanked the large number of individuals and groups who have had an input into developing the Plan, saying "the consultation process undertaken in developing this plan ensures that the interests and wishes of all people in Sligo are reflected in its actions, and this sense of partnership really strengthens the plan for the future".
Chief Executive, Ciaran Hayes added that "Sligo County Council is fully committed to conserving and enhancing the heritage of Sligo in partnership with local communities. This plan sets out a range of very positive actions which will help us to achieve this in a planned way". He also thanked the Heritage Council, who have provided advice, support and crucially funding for Heritage Plan projects in Sligo over the past 15 years.
Conor Newman, Chair of The Heritage Council, welcomed the publication of the Heritage Plan and highlighted the important role of heritage in strengthening communities and supporting socio economic development. He added that 'the heritage plan is a call to action, a challenge to each of us to get involved so that we can maximise the benefits of Sligo's world class heritage.' Thanking the members of Sligo Heritage Forum, he continued "without this committed group of partners, the Heritage Plan process which has reaped such rewards in Sligo over the past 15 years, would not have been possible".
Chair of Sligo Heritage Forum, Cllr Seamus Kilgannon, thanked the elected members of Sligo County Council and the Heritage Council for their continued support. Continuing, he said "The new Plan recognises the importance of heritage to communities and that our heritage needs careful management to ensure its future protection and enhancement. I would urge anyone with an interest in the heritage of County Sligo to get a copy of this plan".

Eva Lovia, known in the industry as one of the best actors and performers who knows the ropes of this business better than many within it's walls. At XCritic, we pride ourselves in bringing you the women of this industry who shine in a way that few ever get to see. If you have never seen Eva's work or met her in person, she is simply a woman who you can tell understands the ways of life that few do. Her films are always big hits, her innovation is something brings together old and new and as she begins to further her own production work he simply had to sit her down for one of the most candid and beautiful interviews with a truly one of a kind adult performer and further more, ....independent woman.
Don Juan DeMarko: Eva, I must say this first and foremost I have seen you rise in the ranks over the years. You started in this business when I left to pursue my other. What I remember most back then was that were these stories of this amazing ethnic beauty of Japanese and Spanish decent, so huge for me because I a m a Spaniard and bushido is something that is a way of life for me. No bullshit, I have always held those things very sacred in my being. I have always wanted to ask you since day one, have those two beautiful cultures been a part of where you get your amazing work ethic from? If not, I would love to know where your diligence for arduous work came from? Because every person who has worked with you has said that you simply set the standard for it, especially in today's industry.
Eva Lovia: I do think my Japanese upbringing has had a lot to do with my work ethic. Japanese parents, or in my case my grandmother, are very strict and there is no room for anything less than perfect. My mother, who is the Spanish one, raised us as a single mom and always worked 100 hours a week to provide for me and my siblings. I stepped it up and took on the role of mini-mom and have been working my ass off since then. I've always strived to be an independent woman that was self-sufficient. I don't ever want to rely on someone else to take care of me.
Don Juan DeMarko: Oh, the fire that burns within an adult performer. It is something that few fans ever get to see. It is just not that common it seems to see the woman of fantasy within this business to be shown as the wonderful human beings they are. I have heard through mutual friends that you are very head strong, independent woman. I love asking this story of all the veteran, super stars of this industry, can you tell us about your Mom? I have heard stories, but I would love to hear about her from you. I won't spoil it for fans, but I can only imagine the influence that was upon you to see such glamour, strength and beauty from the beginning of your life. Making a living on one's beauty. It is truly the hardest damn thing on this planet to do and stay sane while doing it. How much of what you have learned from her has helped you to stay afloat and successful in this amazing but stressful business of ours?
Eva Lovia: I think all relationships with one's parents tends to be complicated and have many facets. I love my mom, but it was very difficult being raised by her. She was and is a complicated mess of independent, stubborn, and codependent on men. She has always worked her ass off making great money, she has had several of her own businesses which I always admire in a woman; but conversely, she has always let the men in her life dictate who she was and the minute the relationship would end she would tailspin. She did a bit of nude modeling when I was younger, and even was offered work with Playboy. She put a huge emphasis on beauty and how men perceived her. I think there is a healthy way to look at that in a damaging way, she looks the latter, which I'm sure is why I took the higher road, as we tend to learn from our parent's mistakes. It was tough growing up with a bombshell mom who ran her own business, but I did learn a lot about the art of seduction, I learned that I wouldn't let a man define my worth, and that you can't expect anyone to help you along your way, for that I have to thank her, because it has made me the independent powerhouse I had to be to survive in this tough male dominated industry.
Don Juan DeMarko: Once again, this has always been something I wanted to ask you. I found the concept and story of 2016's Fetish Stories to be truly something beyond enticing. I love the concept of seeing the world through the eyes of women and the "what ifs" of woman kind. A very fascinating subject to me because I personally find that women are the stronger sex. That madam is for another time, what I would love to know is what it was like to be in that film? What where your favorite aspects of playing those roles and delving into fetish with such a beautiful view like Holly presented. Now, this film is one that I love and most do not. I mean that in do degradation to you, the crew or the amazing Holly Randall. I think so many do not know what it takes to create a film. Holly's eye is something so sacred in this business, it is something that needs no introduction, let's just say that. She is porn royalty. Can you take us through what it was like creating such a unique take on fetish with such a wonderful creator of art as Holly and getting to star with an actor as gifted as you, in the lovely and talented Aria Alexander.
Eva Lovia: Okay so we are going for full honesty in this interview, right? As lovely as Holly is, that piece was written and strictly outlined by Digital Playground. Working with them as a performer or Director, you don't get very much creative freedom. That being said, Holly is wonderful, and I do think she made the film as beautiful as she could with the restrictions that she had. I loved that fetishes were being brought into a mainstream light and that it was being normalized. I think it is important to show that fetishes can be sexy and fun, as long as everyone is consenting to the whole picture. I was excited to work with Aria and Ramon because I am so extremely turned on by both of them. However, the main issue I had, was the lack of involvement the talent had as to what type of scene we wanted. When it comes to fetishes, the whole point is that someone is turned on by something so specific that is outside the norm. To just toss people into such a specific scene and have that not really be their thing is taking away from the beauty of it. If I were to create something like that, the first thing I would do is as based on the talents particular fetish and then make the scene around that.
Don Juan DeMarko: As one of the most independent women this business has ever seen. Oh, my goodness, as a writer, I find it the coolest fucking story that you called the industry, the industry did not call you, to get your foot in the door. Beyond amazing darling! I would simply love to know and this one is going to come wayyyyyyy out of left field. What has this industry taught you about love, both good and bad. I ask every woman of "fire" this because I truly believe that the ultimate of lovers exist in this industry. Not because of sex but by other means. It is those "other means" I would love to hear from you about.
Eva Lovia: I think how one enters the business says a lot about their personality and how well they will ultimately do. Love and porn, that is complicated ha-ha. In my experience the only healthy couples have met pre-porn. There are always exceptions but as a whole, I find that civilian couples, where one of the partners gets into the industry tend to fare well. This is because they have a solid foundation prior, and they enter as a team, also the civilian partner knows their partner not as a performer but a real person. The issue with dating a civilian post porn is that they tend to see your alter ego and not you and it becomes hard for them to separate the two. It is very hard to find a healthy relationship if you work in the industry for many reasons, the lifestyle is not for everyone. You have to travel a lot, you're on set all day having sex with someone else, you have to deal with them getting a lot of attention, and simply people are jealous creatures. I think a lot of performers who date civilians are not sensitive to their partner's needs as well, it's a two-way street. Sex is sex and in my opinion, if one person is having sex on camera it's not fair to not allow the other person to also partake in extracurricular activities. If a relationship isn't equal, it won't last.
Don Juan DeMarko: The worlds that you have seen in your life. Few get to ever see them by the time they are eighty. You have probably seen more by the time you were twenty-five than most do in a lifetime and I do not mean places to visit on a map. Being born in South Carolina, having Spanish and Japanese blood, having begun to work in your first job at the age of fifteen. My goodness, that had to be so difficult for a woman who has such a sexual passion and in all honesty, an understanding of who she is like you. What was it like for you to be a person that had such depth growing up in the South? I don't want to sound stereo-typical, but it is so wonderful to see such beings of positive sexuality come from areas and places in the human character that are deemed "conservative" or "old fashioned." This industry and sex in general is something people forget has been around as long as time. May I ask, are you a more conservative person due to where you grew up and the community you were raised in? If so, what is it that you think people misconceive about the strong, sexually strong, independent. conservative woman? Keep this in mind love, I am a man who believes that all of us are united. I am a man who has worked for senators and NFL football players. As corny as this sounds Thomas Jefferson is my hero and I simply wish that we could return to a day where both liberal and conservative, right and left, old school and new school could see that we are all in this thing together.
Eva Lovia: So, I am from all over actually, I was born in California, then moved to upstate NY, and have been in the south longer than anywhere else. I consider myself a country girl. I was raised with horses, always was running around in the woods, exploring the creeks behind them, going to rodeos, I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I was very shy growing up, I was this exotic little thing that moved to a small town from LA and everyone picked on me because I looked different. I was raised by a mom other mom's slut shamed, so naturally their kid's slut shamed me, even though I was still a virgin. If you're the new kid and pretty, you are automatically a whore, that's just how kids work. I dated a boy from a very, very religious family for almost 8 years, his mom hated me even though I was so quiet, innocent, and again not sexually active. Being a female and wanting sex or pleasure made you a whore, only males were allowed to want those things. I called bullshit on the whole idea, but it took me breaking up with this boy and being honest with myself about my wants and needs. I don't really consider myself conservative per se. I have conservative ideals especially when it comes to business, but when it comes to humanitarian or environmental issues I lean more towards the liberal side. Living in the South, at least the part I am from, isn't as stuck in the past as one might think, there are a lot of people around me that love and support me, there are also people that whisper and disapprove, that's going to happen anywhere. I live in a small town, so most people are aware of who I am and what I do, and very rarely is it ever an issue. Most people are quite curious and chat my ear off trying to get a glimpse into such an unknown world.
Don Juan DeMarko: Some of my good buddies from my "golden era" of the industry work in Vegas and run a cool little Karaoke place where the porn stars come to have fun and put on another type of show for the patrons. Now, I have indeed studied you for this interview darlin' and what I am dying to know, what in the world makes you believe that you are not a good karaoke singer? Your friends have said you are and you don't believe yourself to be. I can imagine that a head strong woman like you, would not hesitate to show off her singing voice, so we can judge ourselves but one of the most amazing things I find about the female physique, in all my years studying, loving, caring, analyzing and worship, is that the one thing that every single one of them think they cannot do, is sing? Why is that? I come from a family of musicians and I kid you not, I have seen more beautiful voices in the adult industry, at parties, just having fun than I have seen almost anywhere else. Part two of this question is, can you tell us about one of these infamous sessions? Where you were, who you were with and what kind of craziness you were into that night?
Eva Lovia: Let's reiterate something to the readers, I am Japanese. Karaoke is in my blood, my 86-year-old grandmother and I still go to karaoke night at the Japanese Community Center and jam out to some old school Japanese music. That being said, we are both terrible. I think there is the fun in it, no one likes a show off at karaoke, if you go up there and belt out some amazing Carrie Underwood range songs you're an asshole. No one in my family can sing, we were all cursed with no range and a few of us may possibly be tone deaf. That doesn't prevent us from having a good time, I am not shy about my horrendous voice, I sing all the time, but no one enjoys it.
Don Juan DeMarko: One of the biggest things you and I have in common is that we both are huge movie nuts. I am so hoping that there is truly another soul out there in the world who knows as much useful, not useless movie trivia as I do. One of the coolest damn things about you and once again, it is great people in the industry who say this about you, is that you love to present the true beauty of the industry to the public again. My hay day was one that saw the illustrious Vivid girls being shown as the glamorous, beautiful and unique individuals they were. The films of that era were wonderful. Unique stories, shot with such amazing equipment. Do you think those days can ever return to the industry?
Eva Lovia: I am glad some people share my opinion about beauty and porn. I really miss the old glamour days where there were Porn Stars. I consider less than 10 girls in the industry to be worthy of this title. They simply don't exist, and that isn't just the fault of the girls, but the companies won't allow them to exist because they are too expensive, and they would rather some 19-year-old girl from Miami take a load to the face for a few hundred bucks than pay for a gorgeous powerhouse to give a proper performance. I think it is very possible to return to the glam days, but the women must demand it, and some are, and I respect the hell out it because it's not easy. This means having standards and not budging, having a respectable rate, and presenting yourself like a Queen. The rest will catch up and companies will be forced to pay the rates.
Don Juan DeMarko: Part two to this question. The "mainstream" film world seems all too hell bent these days on being safe. There is no originality anymore, it is frowned upon. Making films on established characters is safe so that is all Hollywood does these days. Do you think that maybe the industry could step in? Start to create small budget films, comedies, shocking horror and drama that does not need established stars? I don't think this is a pipe dream. I really don't. We already have the X rating. This current world we live in has so much over top bullshit already on the evening news, why can't we go in and create something that could sweep fans off their feet? We used to once upon a time. Films like Behind the Green Door, which if you have never seen it gives the original Last House on the Left a big run for the most shocking, graphic film that truly has psychological depth and story. I would just love to hear the opinion from such a passionate soul like yourself. Am I truly living in a fantasy world? You can be as harsh as you like to me with this answer, because the things I truly see, is that if a group of people who were literally unknown stars at the time could make a film about the joys of sex and discovery in 1999 and turn it into a 100 million success with only one tenth of the budget. What keeps us from doing the same?
Eva Lovia: We do not have trained actors in porn. There might be two. Mainstream actors spend years on their craft and honestly 99% of porn actors can't hold a flame to most entry level actors, we simply don't have the tools. I think there are very talented writers in the industry and I think with proper training it could happen but let's be realistic, who is spending the time or money to take acting classes? Furthermore, how would you get funding to get into theaters? It's all an approval process, and straight to DVD is always a flop. I think there is a massive difference between adult and mainstream and very few can transcend that gap.
Don Juan DeMarko: Ok, I must ask this one and I am just banking that I have found the true adult actor that will give me one of the most amazing answers because I'm thinking you will know I am not trying to step on anyone's toes or make them feel inferior. Out of all the totally kick-ass, dramatic, comedic roles that you have done in both mainstream and in the adult world what has been your favorite roll and why? I know, you totally want to want to kick my ass after this interview with all these two-part questions, but I would love to know, especially coming one of the most kick ass alpha females I have ever met, I would love to know, which role made you the most nervous? Was it perhaps your first ever scene, or a unique dive into a role and fantasy you had never even indulged in within your personal life? I would simply just love to know which of the bunch was just intimidating as hell. Post script to this question, if you ever were nervous, it never shows, and I mean never, not even in your eyes. It is why I have this deep respect for your acting skills. Not many in this business know that the eyes do indeed talk.
Eva Lovia: My favorite role has to be O-Ren Ishi for Kill Bill XXX, it was my first big acting role so I'm sure I was not impressive, but I love Lucy Lu, and I LOVE Kill Bill, so it was such a treat to be her for a couple of weeks. She was such a boss and I really loved being such a badass in a kimono.
As far as what scene was I the most nervous, definitely my DP. I had never done one before, so I had no clue what to expect, there really is no mental prep you can do, you simply must just dive in. I thought my heart was going to explode. It was such an invigorating experience.
Don Juan DeMarko: Madam, you are simply a gem. We usually do thirteen questions with Don Juan DeMarko but I have tortured you with so many two part questions, I think I am going to quit before I put you to sleep darlin'! We cannot thank you enough for sitting down with is at XCritic today.
Can you tell us about any big projects coming up in the near future that we simply can't miss?
Also, a question that I think every diehard fan wants to know. Once you have reached the pinnacle of your acting a career, are you going to move strictly into production, design and all the post production that you simply have one of the keenest minds for?
I would simply love to see you as a "porn lifer" because I honestly see you as a woman who could redefine the term. I truly see you as someone who can turn productions, companies, people and performers into something that they never thought capable. With that madam. I bit you farewell. It was truly an honor.
Eva Lovia: That is a tough question. I don't believe in being a lifer in any industry. I believe in constant growth and evolution. I don't know how long I will be in porn for, I suppose until I am no longer happy in it. Right now, I only shoot for my site with the occasional exception for a project I am truly in love with. I grew sick of how companies treat female talent, and act as if we don't have a say in a scene, hello it's my body I am the only one with a say! So, after years of frustration I decided to stop letting others treat me below what I consider acceptable and started producing content for myself only and it has been incredible. I now run Fallinlovia.com and direct scenes, produce the scenes, market the scenes and have total creative control. It is glorious. I would love my company to continue to grow and to be able keep shooting for it whether or not I perform, until it no longer makes sense to continue. I do hope I can be a great example to other women in the industry or women thinking about getting in and showing them, they have a choice and you can only be taken advantage of if you let it happen. I love porn, I just don't love the companies, so I found a solution.

Hay fever symptoms - How to reduce affects while driving using THIS simple trick
THERE are millions of hay fever sufferers in the UK who will be suffering from symptoms as the weather improves. Here is a top tip that drivers should use to protect them on the road.
Drivers should check their pollen filter in their car to help with hay fever
Across the UK there are millions of people who suffer from hay fever, with the Met Office saying that one in five people in the UK suffering from it.
Hay fever season is wreaking havoc on Brits and can cause a number of problems and unpleasant symptoms.
Pollen counts are set to be high and very high across the UK this week but will tail off a little bit over the weekend.
Hay fever can be problematic for drivers as the symptoms can cause itchy eyes, sneezing and runny noses.
These symptoms could impair vision and/or be distracting while driving.
Cars have a cabin or pollen filter fitted to the ventilation system that could clean up the air in the cabin and prevent allergens coming into the vehicle.
The majority of cars built over the past 20 years will come with a pollen filter, however, over time they can become clogged up and ineffective.
Drivers are therefore being urged to check and if necessary, replace the filter as it could help to alleviate some of the symptoms while driving.
Filters can cost anywhere between £5-£25 for a standard car up to £55 for a luxury vehicle.
Motorists in the Uk are also being reminded that taking certain hay fever medication could land them a hefty fine.
This is because some prescription medication such as antihistamines is covered under the same law as cocaine.
The new penalties, introduced in 2015, for drug driving are a 12-month driving ban; a criminal record; and a fine of up to £5,000, or up to 6 months in prison, or both.
Some strings of hay fever medication can, however, cause drowsiness or impair driver's vision.
According to NHS.co.uk chlorphenamine and diphenhydramine are the tablets which are more likely to cause drowsiness.
Safer medication to take while driving is loratadine or cetirizine as they are less likely to cause drowsiness.

A couple of weeks ago, I steamblocked my new Allons-y market bag and it worked out wonderfully:
Ultimately, the wet blocking was a fail. First, it took 3 full days for my project to dry; that was inside a centrally air-conditioned house, pinned to a blocking mat. Second, when it finally dried, the fabric was coarse and not very pleasant to the touch. Knitting is a tactile art and in my opinion should be wonderful to touch. So I got my iron out and steam blocked it. Just like with the larger bag, the fibre relaxed beautifully, softened up and the stitch pattern opened up exactly how I wanted it.
|before blocking
|after blocking
So when I made a smaller market bag I decided to try wet blocking it:
|this is during blocking - that weird triangular thing is the flap of the pouch
|this is after wet blocking and steam blocking
The moral of my story? Steam blocking cotton results in a softer and more co-operative fabric than wet blocking. Also it takes about 35 1/2 less hours to steam block.

Description:Really that should not be surprising because it's the one sexual act that can be performed without a partner, plus who among us doesn't like to quickly rub one out after a tough day at work. It can also be the first erotic or sexual experience and often the memory will last a lifetime. Now you can enjoy watching beautiful young teenage girls masturbate until they orgasm, their wet pussies and clits overflowing with excitement. One of the reason we love this category so much is that the girls can be created with how they perform their masturbation, some use a dildo but others are happy enough to finger fuck their hole until they squirt. Nothing looks more erotic then a cute girl rubbing her pussy lips and then slowly inserting her finger into her quivering vagina.

Do not trust this !,
9 April 2016BySazAM –Verified Purchase(What is this?)This review is from: Russell Hobbs Purity Glass Brita Kettle 20760, 3000 W – Blue Illumination (Kitchen & Home)I purchased one of these in December 2015 and had been reasonably pleased with it. yes the base does get limescale over it quite soon even though its a filter kettle and its quite fiddly to fill, nevertheless okayish but, …… I did not bargain for this mornings event ! After using the kettle to make myself a cup of tea, my daughter appeared so I switched it back on to make her one. What followed was a bang the kettle fused all the sockets. After a trip to the fuse box in the garage power was restored. Kettle then would not work as switch would not stay down. Have now been out and purchased another kettle (a Phillips) as do not trust this kettle. Eventually it did seem to want to work again ( the switch stayed down when pressed) but don't have confidence in it and don't want house sockets blowing again !! Cannot recommend !
Update 24/4/16 – Kettle was returned to Amazon who were very fare and refunded me in full which has been received. Still very happy with Phillips kettle !

Most importantly, have fun with the sketch. I was glad myself to work on a card after having a horrible week dealing with an ear infection and taking alot of meds. Therefore always nice to create something and now working on more.
Here is mine below:
This time around, I used Natural Composition Specialty paper as my base. It's so nice up close and gorgeous look that includes a raised embossed glossy patterns that is printed on heavy-weight natural paper
Once again, trying to challenge myself with different color combinations that I don't normally use, but the Regal collection is starting to be very fun. This time, it's Cajun Craze along with one of the new in-colors: Summer Starfruit. DSP is Comfort Cafe which goes so nicely with Early Espresso, one of my favorite colors.
Here is a close up of the Natural Composition with the embossed image. For the butterfly, I used the embosslit called: Beautiful Wings and added some Basic Pearls.
Other tools used to complete this card was Stampin Dimensionals under the center Labels Collection Framelit and under the Early Espresso retangle. Ribbon was 3/8" Stitched Satin in Summer Starfruit. Scallop Edge Border Punch and markers for coloring the center. Hope you enjoy and have fun creating!!

A Santa Maria youth pastor and aspiring Christian rapper charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl numerous times pleaded guilty Monday and will be sentenced to eight years in state prison for his crimes.
Daniel James Moreno, 25, pleaded guilty to a single count of continuous sexual abuse of a child and a count of lewd and lascivious acts with a child, according to prosecuting attorney Brandon Jebens.
Moreno must serve 85 percent of his sentence before he's eligible for parole. Both counts also are "strikes," meaning if he ever were to commit another serious felony and be convicted of a "strikeable" offense, he would automatically face life in prison without parole.
He was arrested at his home in the early hours of March 28 on suspicion of the continual sexual abuse and booked into Santa Barbara County Jail, where he remains in custody. Prosecutors believe Moreno started having sex with the 14-year-old girl in September 2015.

Q. I am an 84-year-old sedentary person and I need some kind of alarm program that reminds me to get up every hour. I could set the alarm on my iPad/iPod every hour, but that is a pain.
A. The iOS operating system that runs on Apple's iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices includes a Clock app (as well as a Reminders app) that can be set to ring hourly and automatically repeat each day, but it does take some work to set up the alarm system. If you just want a simple hourly beep or chime, start with a visit to the online App Store and search for "hourly chime" or "hourly alarm."
Many of these apps are free or inexpensive. When browsing for a suitable program, click the Ratings and Reviews link on an app's description page to see what others have said about it.
Apple's built-in apps can be set to alert you at specific intervals, and once you set the alarms, you can have them automatically repeat daily. In the Clock app, for example, tap the Alarm button at the bottom and then the plus (+) button in the top-right corner of the screen to add a new alarm. On the next screen, set the desired time, tap the Repeat menu and select all the days you want the alarm to ring. Tap the Save button and then tap the plus button again to set an alarm for the next hour. Repeat the process until you have set an alarm to repeatedly ring for every hour and every day you need prompting.
You can set up similarly regular alerts in the Reminder app by tapping the encircled "i" on a reminder to get to the time and repeat settings. And if you find all that tapping is too much work, hold down the Home button and ask the Siri assistant to set a daily alarm for a specific hour and repeat your request until you have one for all the times you need reminding.

This week I decided to have a couple tea lights on my work desk. I have had the radio on too at times and the combination of the music and the candle light made a huge difference to my time working.
The change in my environment was small but it certainly changed my perception of work. Rather than it being chore or an obligation I really settled down to enjoy my time in the office. It became a lovely calm experience. It almost felt like a luxury to set some time aside just to be there.
Taking some time to think about your environment could make a real difference to your everyday activities.
Candles and music are great tools to bring more Mindfulness into your life. Each time your mind wanders from what you are trying to focus on you can redirect your attention, assisted by the candle or the music. This focal point gives the mind a resting place, a point where it can be still, if only for a moment.

The installation, entitled "F. Lotus," consists of 201 rings each holding five life jackets -- retrieved from the Greek island of Lesbos -- arranged in the letter "F" and floating like lotus flowers.
Ai, who in February this year attached 14,000 life jackets to the columns of a Berlin concert house, said that the work was his way of addressing the tragedy of Europe's migrant crisis.
|The installation "F Lotus" by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei for the exhibition "Translocation- transformation" features life vests floating on the pond at the Upper Belvedere palace in Vienna, Austria, Wednesday. (AP-Yonhap)
"There are over 500,000 life jackets left on (Lesbos) and it looks like a landscape," he told reporters. "It is something so related to individuals. It could be the last thing you grab when you have to escape."
The artist went too far for some earlier this year when he recreated the death pose of Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian toddler found dead on a Turkish beach in 2015, in a photo shoot for an Indian magazine.
China's most prominent contemporary artist helped design the Bird's Nest stadium for the Beijing Olympics, but his works have often fallen foul of China's authorities. In 2011, he was detained for 81 days.

Quake Champions - How to Handle Team Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch requires more understanding of the game than regular deathmatch. No one likes to carry a feeder. If you don't want to be a burden to your team but crave for team fight, this guide will acquaint you with basics of TDM.
Team modes offer great opportunity to enjoy the whole new level of Quake, fighting side by side with your teammates. Currently there're two team modes: team deathmatch and sacrifice. Since Quake Champions has gone to EA, I've seen plenty of players in TDM who plays shoot-and-run. This mode requires teamplay, let's talk how to handle the TDM by not being a burden to your team. If teams are more or less balanced the one who controls map better - wins. To succeed it's essential to control the key points on each map. Even if your aim is not perfect and you can't handle most enemies face to face, by doing right things in TDM you will help your team.
Team Deathmatch Objectives
These two simple objectives are followed by several conclusions:
Learn the map
You can create 'custom game' with desired map. It's better to spend couple of minutes exploring it than running in circles like beheaded chicken in real TDM. At least check where primary and secondary objectives are placed.
Go for powerup in time
Every two minutes you must be ready to put your life on a line fighting for Quad Damage. You can be late on a date but never on quad. If you are half-dead - fight, but leave quad for teammate with higher stack. Even machinegun with Quad is deadly dangerous. When Quad is taken (you will hear announcer notification) take a glance on a timer. E.g. it shows 02:03. Memorize it as "plus three" for the next Quad and you won't run into it prematurely next time.
Keep you stack high
The flawless winning strategy: keep your health higher than zero and lower your enemy's health to zero.
Strength in numbers
Don't fight superior forces on your own without quad damage and/or with low stack. It's better to retreat than to give free frag to opposing team. Also always help your teammate in fight if possible. There should be no killsteal - only score of your team matters.
Don't give free frags
Respawns can be bad, but try to give as less free frags to enemy team as possible. Don't go into combat with starting weapon. If forced to do so - sell your life dear.
Be clever, fight wise
Take strategic positions, disengage when health is low, use abilities in defensive or aggressive manner depending on situation. Fighting for primary objective or controlling the secondary doesn't mean you are ought to stand still on it.
Tips for TDM maps
Blood Covenant
Ruins of Sarnath
Burial Chamber
Church of Azathoth
Tempest Shrine
Metagame is not yet defined. It's early access and the whole game balance is a subject for changes and rebalance. You can play any champion you like if you are able to to right things in the right time. However I personally consider Anarki, B.J., Nyx, Ranger, Scalebearer, Slash, Sorlag as most useful champions for TDM. Situational use can be found for Visor and Galena. Doom and Clutch are the least usable for TDM, however you are free to use any champion you like.
Keeping timers in mind can be tricky in the beginning. Start with Quad Damage and "plus %n" where %n is the number of seconds since 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 when the Quad was taken. When you register this event automatically, add to your internal tracker armor and megahealth. For me it's easier to add 30 seconds at once. This way I never mix it with Quad timer.
Keep in mind, that you are playing in team. Synergy and control are the keys to the victory. Better aim and proper champion handling will come with practice. If at your current level you are not good enough in hand to hand combat, start working on understanding of the TDM flow and provide necessary and useful support to your team.

Shape of Me and Other Stuff (Bright and Early Books Series) based on 0 ratings. 11 reviews.
One of the most difficult problems that many beginning readers have is to notice those pesky little differences between letters (like b and d, and q and p). Many children don't focus that much and get a general impression of a shape when looking at a letter or a group of letters. This interesting beginning reader helps you child to 'see' the benefits of studying detail more closely. The book is primarily a series of solid shapes (mostly black on white) set off with bright colors used in some shapes, as backgrounds for others, and as rectangles around words. Each one is a different item. Some of the many items silhouetted include a bug, balloon, bed, bike, beans, flowers, mice, big mahines, elephants, ships, teapots, water dripping, bird cages, peanuts, pineapple, noses, grapes, glasses, scissors, the various shapes that gum can be pulled into, smoke, marshmallows, fires, mountains, roosters, horses, tires, camels, bees, back door keys, spider webs, clothes, garden hose, mug, imaginary beings (like a BLOGG), trombone, fish, whale and a frog. This is not all, but it is more than half. As you can imagine, a young child will be able to identify very few while an older child will get almost all of them. Not all of the profiles have words associated with them in the text. As a result, this book should be read in different ways at different stages of development. For example, two year olds will identify more objects if they get a hint from you. Also, if you child likes sounds, you could make a sound like the object for your clue. For an older child, you can also work together to spell the names of the shapes that are not in the text. For someone about to graduate from the book, you could try creating some rhymes with the shapes that are not mentioned. The book itself is simple to read, and has a typical Dr. Seuss rhyming scheme. The key lessons are summarized as: 'Everything comes in different shapes.' 'No shapes are ever quite alike.' There is also nice encouragement for your child to feel special, for having a unique shape. That's a nice tie-in to the concept of encouraging your child to notice the small differences that help in reading. This point is brought home in the end when the child narrator says, 'I say, 'HOORAY for the shapes we're in!'' This book will be of most value for a child who is starting to have some success in identifying letters, so although this is a beginning reader . . . it's not the first reader you should use. After you have enjoyed this book, you might also do some art projects in which your child picks out items that she or he wants you to cut out. You could paste them onto a card along with the item's name, and create your own flash cards for words you child wants to learn! Notice the small things, so you can see the big picture! Donald Mitchell, co-author of The Irresistible Growth Enterprise and The 2,000 Percent Solution
We have been reading this to our daughter for almost 3 years now and she still loves it. She had it pretty much memorized by the time she was 2. She still spends quite a bit of time just studying the pictures. The pictures are not overwhelming with tons of details, but are really just shapes or shadows. I like the "message" too that everything comes in different shapes. The end says, "Of all the shapes we might have been, I say hooray for the shapes we're in!". Love it!
Dr. Seuss, of course, was extremely prolific. What this means for me is that some of his books I *adore*, but some I'm ambivalent about. This book is definitely in the latter category.It's very easy for beginning readers to read, though.
Dr. Seuss books are always a good way to get your students attention and they are fun to read. This one is about all the different shapes that things make and no one shape is the same, such as beans, flowers, lips, ships, machines, animals, gum, etc. There are several comparison and rhymes made throughout the book and helps recognize the shape of several things.
Not quite as imaginative as some of Seuss's classics but still a fun read for kids and their parents.
My fayorite book is the shape of me and other stuff by Dr. Seuss. This book is about animals, shapes, and airplanes. My favorite part of the story was the page thet said a bug and balloon and a bike. Little sisters will like it because it is by Dr Seuss. RR (1st grade)
this book is outstanding its about people saying all the different kinds of shapes and they compare it to different things

It is strange enough to learn that the latest missing child, Lonzie Barton is a distant cousin of the Still Missing Haleigh Cummings, there are a lot of other similarities that make the fact that these children are missing more than just an amazing coincidence.
Here are a few points to ponder:
First BOTH missing children were with siblings when they disappeared.
Second: Those surrounding both children had a long history with drug abuse.
Third: Both caregivers who were last with the children have stopped cooperating with law enforcement.
Fourth: The last adult to see each child gave conflicting statements as to what led to the children being missing.
Fifth: Both children went missing in the same general area of Northeast Florida.
Sixth:Both adults who were last with the missing children were not biologically related to them. They were girlfriend/boyfriend of the biological parent the children lived with.
Seventh: The biological parents were not with the children when they went missing. BOTH biological parents were, in fact, either at work or on their way home or away from work when the children went missing.
As time goes on, I am certain that the various armchair detectives out there will come up with more coincidences. Patterns are starting to emerge. Already, Detectives working both cases are joining forces to determine if there is something about these two cases that might provide some long awaited answers and that finally the mysteries of what happened to these two children will be solved.
Stay tuned

The 2015 Lincoln MKC: A Crossover to Consider
The 2015 Lincoln MKC is an impressive vehicle for many reasons. First of all, the compact crossover is a good choice if you're looking for something between an ordinary car and an SUV. Small families wanting a flexible transport vehicle will do well to invest in one of Lincoln's latest offerings.
From the outside, the MKC looks great. The traditional crossover styling is modified by some unique touches; the front-end is slimmed down, while a split-wide grille takes up the front. The back is also nice to look at; full-width taillights and a two-piece tailgate are a sight to see when on the road. You can be sure to turn some heads when you drive this car.
It isn't just nice to look at though. Under the hood, the 2015 MKC has a 2.3 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The engine can have you running from zero to sixty in under seven seconds. This is better than a V-6 and is on par with a V-8. Combine this with an impressive steering system, and you can have a powerful and smooth ride.
The interiors are nothing to sneeze at either. It's spacious enough for most purposes and is comfortable for its passengers. Consider checking out the 2015 Lincoln MKC at local Hammond, LA Lincoln dealerships and experience everything you just read.

- At my high school, homeroom was the first place you went to, though it only lasted 10 minutes. Really it was only there to settle the kids down, before they headed off to their first period classes. They also had a sort of welcoming announcement in the auditorium for the new freshman class.Advertisement, August 19th, 2019, 8:53 am

Sjogrens syndrome is a common autoimmune disease (affecting similar to 0.7% of European Americans) that typically presents as keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. Here we report results of a large-scale association study of Sjogrens syndrome. In addition to strong association within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region at 6p21 (P-meta = 7.65 x 10(-114)), we establish associations with IRF5-TNPO3 (P-meta = 2.73 x 10(-19)), STAT4 (Pmeta = 6.80 x 10-15), IL12A (P-meta = 1.17 x 10(-10)), FAM167ABLK (P-meta = 4.97 x 10(-10)), DDX6-CXCR5 (P-meta = 1.10 x 10(-8)) and TNIP1 (P-meta = 3.30 x 10(-8)). We also observed suggestive associations (P-meta andlt; 5 x 10(-5)) with variants in 29 other regions, including TNFAIP3, PTTG1, PRDM1, DGKQ, FCGR2A, IRAK1BP1, ITSN2 and PHIP, among others. These results highlight the importance of genes that are involved in both innate and adaptive immunity in Sjogrens syndrome.

"I believe that people are good if you give them half a chance and that good is more powerful than evil. The world seems to me excruciatingly, almost painfully beautiful at times, and the goodness and kindness of people often exceed that which even I expect."
Lois Burnham Wilson
*** *** *** ***
"… And, speaking for Dr. Bob and myself, I gratefully declare that had it not been for our wives, Anne and Lois, neither of us could have lived to see A.A.'s beginning …"
As Bill Sees It, Page 67
…The Burnhams taught their children to be thoughtful and caring of others and to be of use in the world. The impressions of her home life are ones of excitement and lots of fun. Lois was particularly adventuresome and cared little for how she looked and was often referred to as a "tomboy."
This aspect of her personality was given its fullest expression during the Burnhams long sojourns in southern Vermont. Each year, the family spent half a year in the Manchester, Vermont area where Dr. Burnham's New York patients also spent long periods. Her parents were fully part of the upper-class social life there and were friends with many well-known people of the day, including Abraham Lincoln's son whose children were among the younger Burnham's playmates.
One of the children the Burnham's played with, especially Rogers, was a boy who came each summer with his prominent family from Albany, New York. His name was Edwin or "Ebby" Thacher who would also become a close friend of Lois' future husband, Bill Wilson, and be instrumental in Bill's getting sober.
Rogers also found a pal in Bill Wilson, and in 1913 introduced him to his sister. Lois was over four years older than Bill, and being 22 at the time, did not regard him as anything other than her brother's friend. But as the summers went on, she and Bill more and more found many common interests and gradually fell in love. They were both intelligent, athletic and fun-loving. Lois encouraged Bill at his studies and thought him to be a most remarkable young man. Her family shared this assessment. And so, in 1915, the couple became secretly engaged and married on January 24, 1918, just days before young officer Wilson shipped off to Europe in the First World War.
When Lois married Bill, she wed an upstanding young man of good character filled with exciting ideas about his future. What Lois did not marry was a drinker. On the contrary, Bill has a disdain for liquor partly because he believed it had played a part in his parents separation and divorce. It was a great shock to Lois some months later when, visiting her husband at his New Bedford, Massachusetts station, his soldier friends told her about Bill getting so drunk one night they had to carry him back to barracks. Lois could not believe they were speaking of her husband.
Bill shipped off to England, and Lois found work as an occupational therapist. As an educated woman, Lois believed in being independent and making her own living. She worked at the YWCA and was promoted several times within the organization leaving in 1917 to assist in a school her aunt had established in Short Hills, New Jersey. She left that position to marry Bill.
When Bill returned from the war, Lois hoped to start the family she always wanted. However, a series of miscarriages made childbearing impossible. This was a devastation for her. All Lois wanted out of life was a family and a home. Now she would not have the family. She and Bill tried to adopt, but they were unsuccessful. She later found out why – agencies performing routine background checks would eventually be told about Bill. Stories about his drinking would surface and be enough to make adoption impossible as well.
Bill's drinking alarmed Lois very much. At first, she tried not to be concerned, but his drinking progressed during the early years of marriage to the point where he would see all his ambitions dashed and his wonderful opportunities for employment and advancement shattered. He became a broken man who eventually had to seek refuge with his wife in the house of his in-laws.
Lois employed many tactics over the years to help Bill get sober. She really thought she would be able to help him stop drinking. She would realize later how futile this was. Bill did stop in 1934, but it was not due to the efforts of his wife.
In 1939, Bill and Lois were forced to leave the Burnham's house. Her father and mother had died, and the Wilsons could not afford to go anywhere except to the homes of various friends which they did for the following two years. Over the years, Lois had been the breadwinner bringing in a modest income from her work in department stores as a decorator and also from her consultations with private clients. While working at Macy's she wrote an article on veneered furniture that was published by the popular House and Garden magazine.
Living as Lois once wrote "from pillar to post" was difficult for Lois. Not having children was a deep loss, and now, not to have a home was quite painful. She did her best and maintained her dignity throughout the ordeal but sometimes despaired that they might be homeless for a very long time.
But in 1941 an extraordinary thing happened. A generous offer was made by an acquaintance for the Wilsons to purchase a home in Westchester County. Due to this magnanimous gesture, the Wilsons moved into their first and only real home — Stepping Stones in Bedford Hills, New York. It took them 23 years, but they finally had a home of their own.
In 1951, Lois followed the suggestion made by her husband who had crafted the 12 steps of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous to create a similar 12-step program for the family and friends of alcoholics. In truth, there had been several family groups around the country that Bill had become aware of and Anne Smith, wife of AA co-founder Dr. Bob, had been involved in working with wives and families from the very first…
… Working from Lois' upstairs desk at Stepping Stones, Lois and Anne B., a nearby friend whose husband was in AA, wrote to 87 non-alcoholics who had written to AA asking for information about alcoholism. The letters had come from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, Australia and Sout
h Africa. Forty-eight people wrote back and eventually the organization known as the Al-Anon Family Groups was formed. It now has over 29,000 groups worldwide and a membership of over 387,000.
Lois Wilson died on October 6, 1988 at 97 years old. She was present and energetic throughout her latter years and enjoyed good health for most of them. She wanted to live to be 100 and almost did.
Lois was one of the 20th century's most important women. Her life has been somewhat overshadowed by that of her husband, but, in recent years, she has emerged more visible than before for her unique contribution to humanity. It is through her tireless efforts and vision that Al-Anon is the strong organization it is today and why it continues to attract members through its message of hope and renewal.

In the history of the fellowship we read the stories of Bill and Dr. Bob, their wives and the first hundreds of folks that they worked with wholeheartedly and with the only desire to help them achieve sobriety, behind every drunk, stands his wife.
Many of the stories we read from the back of the book historians write about failed marriages and separations. You don't really ever hear the word "divorce" very much, and as I sit and think about it, I don't ever remember coming upon that word as yet in our reading on Sunday's.
There is something to be said about Love and Marriage. I think about these actions and sentiments as a backdrop to my own life as it was lived.
We all know what the history books say about each decade as it happened. The 20's,30's,40's and beyond. Things were very hard. Survival was paramount during a time when there was not really all that much to hold on to.
It isn't until you speak your vows to your beloved that they begin to manifest. For myself, I got some good practice in, prior to our marriage in 2004.
In my history, couples married for life. Talk of separation or divorce did not enter my lexicon until I was a teen ager. All of the wives in my family were long suffered. All of the men in those marriages were drinkers. Nobody said a word. Nobody dared speak out or even consider leaving, because where would the women go in any case, and with what/who's money?
There are several texts "Dr. Bob and the Good Old Timers," "Pass it On," and "Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age," all of these books tell the back stories of the fellowship, where it came from, who was part of it, how it came to be, and finally where it finally went when Bill stepped away.
The reading tonight spoke of Founders. And in this reading Bill writes that he wished that he could remove the word "Founder" all together. But to this day June 10, is marked in Akron as the day (June 10, 1935) Bill and Dr. Bob set out to find the best way to reform alcoholics and A.A. was born.
In the beginning jobs were hard to come by, and owning a family home only happened for those who could afford it or were born into it. Back in Old New York, there are images in print of the places that Bill and Dr. Bob lived. And how their wives played a crucial role in the rehabilitation of the alcoholic who still suffers.
And you might imagine, a kitchen, complete with dining table and chairs and fair sitting rooms and bedrooms housing assorted drunks from town. While Bill pounded the pavement and tried sobering up the masses, The likes of Anne and Lois, busied themselves with jobs, AND cooking, cleaning and serving those who came to their homes. Imagine what that must have looked like in the 30's and 40's.
I can see it in my mind's eye … Kitchens in the houses of my grandmothers. You actually ate in the kitchen at the table. My aunt had a very small kitchen and we ate in a dining room off to the side.
But just imagine what it looked like, opening your home to complete strangers, if only to help your husband sober them up and put them on the path. And from what we read in the history, the numbers were not very good. The odds FOR sobriety were pretty slim.
There were a handful of women who played a crucial role in the lives of the men who brought the program of recovery to fruition. There was something very solid in how the wives of Bill, Bob and assorted other characters stuck and stayed. It was not easy, by any stretch of the imagination.
Bill and Bob eventually got sober. I imagine in my minds eye, the conversations going on in the kitchens of many women together and by themselves, about their husbands, and just how they would like them to get sober, and how they were going to do that. The men eventually got sober, but not because of their wives.
In How it Works, it states that "We are not saints…" Both Bill and Bob had their assorted issues. And if you have ever seen the documentary, "Bill W," I will only say that Lois was a rock star, in every stage of Bills life.
It WAS important, the roles those wives played in the maintenance of home, family, marriage and love.
Love the one you are with, and be grateful for their presence in your life today. It matter so much more when you have someone who loves you in your life, who supports you and wants the best for you.
Lois and Anne were those kind of women.

Pear Ginger Muffins with Crumb Topping and Vanilla Glaze
I enjoy making muffins nearly any time of the year, but during these cold and frosty November mornings, they're even more welcome than usual. Especially these, with their sweet pear and warm ginger flavors, made even better with a buttery crumb topping and vanilla glaze.
These muffins take a little bit more work than I normally care to do, with the crumb topping and the glaze, but once in a while, it's worth it to go to the trouble to make something extra special. And, of course, they go well with a hot cup of coffee.
Pear Ginger Muffins with Crumb Topping and Vanilla Glaze
Makes 12-14 muffins
What You Need:
For the Muffins:
½ c. melted butter
½ c. sugar
½ c. brown sugar
2 eggs
½ c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ c. milk (whole if you have it, but any kind will do)
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
2 ripe pears, peeled and chopped
For the Crumb Topping:
1/3 c. brown sugar
¾ c. all-purpose flour
½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ c. melted butter
For the Glaze:
1 c. confectioner's sugar
½ tsp. vanilla
2-4 tsp. milk
What You Do:
Heat oven to 400°F and line 12-14 muffin cups with a paper liner or grease thoroughly.
Prepare the crumb topping. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until you get uneven crumbs that range from a damp sand looking mixture to the size of small peas. Set crumb topping aside while you prepare the muffin batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugars, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and milk. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir gently until you have a mixture that is mostly combined but still lumpy. Fold in the chopped pears and fill the muffin tins to the top of each liner. Liberally sprinkle the crumb topping over the muffins and press in gently to make sure it adheres to the muffin batter. Cover the muffin batter well, so that as the muffin expands while baking, the top will still be covered with the crumbs. Wipe excess crumbs off the pan before baking so they don't burn, leaving you with a frustrating mess to clean.
Bake for 17-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack immediately and let cool.
While the muffins are cooling, mix up the glaze. Stir together the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and 2 tsp. of milk, adding more milk if needed. Stir until all of the sugar lumps melt away and you have a nice, smooth glaze.
When the muffins have cooled almost to room temperature, drizzle the glaze back and forth over the tops of the muffins and serve. Muffins are best eaten the day they are made, but will keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Hire purchase was originally developed in the United Kingdom, but if you are in the United States, you may know it as a "rent-to-own" plan. Hire purchase for a vehicle means that you will be paying for said vehicle or vehicles, whether it be new or used, in instalments rather than upfront. Whilst you are paying in instalments, you will have use of the vehicle, therefore you do not have to wait until all the instalments are paid off to gain access to it (source:…Continue

There are many reasons why a property may be empty, sometimes for long periods of time. There may be damage awaiting repair, which makes the property unlivable in its current state, there may be excessive asbestos or other hazardous waste material like needles from squatters awaiting professional removal or perhaps there is simply nobody putting themselves forward to take the property for other reasons.

With a strong legacy of exemplary Holy Week worship services, we add a new addition to Marble Collegiate Church's tradition this year. On Good Friday, April 18, Jazz Revelation will move, for this one service only, to our historic sanctuary for a jazz funeral for Christ. This sacred style was born in New Orleans with a mix of European and African influences that also include remnants from colonial Louisiana and Native American music.
