Airgíalla
Airgíalla (Modern Irish: Oirialla, Anglicisations: Oriel,Uriel, Orgiall, Orgialla) was the name of an ancient Irish federation/kingdom.
The origins of Airgialla stem from the battle of Achadh Leithdheirg fought around the year 331, when the forces of the Three Collas and the men of Connacht wrested vast territories of the Province of Ulster from the native tribe of the Ulaid.
A large volume of distinguished sources exist which attribute a 4th-century emergence for this federation: Others believe it was first formed around the 7th century. However the list of Kings of Airgíalla notes the year 513 for the death of Colga mac loite mac Cruinn.
This federation of tribes, depending on timeframe, occupied portions of the provinces of Leinster and Ulster equating with parts of the modern-day counties of Louth, Monaghan, Armagh, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry. In early manuscripts the Bishop of Clogher was styled Bishop of Oirialla. Clogher is a village and civil parish in County Tyrone.

Forever Yours
by: Eric LeeI never thought
Love was so powerful
I saw love in your eyes
As if you saw it in mine
If you died in my arms
I'd never live
For you had brought me back to life
Fresh as a flower
Sweeter than candy and juice
Heart of gold
I'll never turn you loose
Even in the darkest nights
Your love glows so bright
Never will I leave you
For I wouldn't live without you
I would die in sorrow and sadness
No other girl would ever compare to you
You're unique and special
And beautiful, my boo
I wouldn't miss a single second
To look at your gorgeous face
To cherish and hold forever
Kiss my love and embrace (my love)
