All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee;
All chance, Direction, which thou canst not see;
All Discord, Harmony, not understood;
All partial Evil, Universal Good;
And, spite of Pride, in erring Reason's spite,
One truth is clear, 'whatever is, is right.'
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Plac'd on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest,
In doubt to deem himself a God or Beast;
In doubt his Mind or Body to prefer,
Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such,
Whether he thinks too little, or too much:
Chaos of Thought and Passion, all confus'd;
Still by himself abus'd, or disabus'd;
Created half to rise, and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, and yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of Truth, in endless Error hurl'd:
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
What dire Offence from am'rous Causes springs,
What mighty Contests rise from trivial Things,
Say what strange Motive, Goddess! cou'd compel
A wellbred Lord t'assault a gentle Belle?
Oh say what stranger Cause, yet unexplor'd,
Cou'd make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?
In Tasks so bold, can Little Men engage,
And in soft Bosoms dwells such mighty Rage?
Sol through white Curtains shoots a tim'rous Ray,
And opens those Eyes that must eclipse the Day;
Belinda still your downy Pillow press,
While I, your Guardian Sylph prolong the balmy Rest.
Fairest of Mortals, thou distinguish'd Care
Of thousand bright Inhabitants of Air!
Of airy Elves by Moonlight Shadows seen,
With silver Tokens on the circled Green,
Of Virgins visited by Angel Pow'rs,
With Golden Crowns and Wreaths of heav'nly Flow'rs,
Hear and believe! thy own Importance know,
Nor bound thy narrow Views to Things below
Late, as I rang'd the Crystal Wilds of Air,
In the clear Mirror of thy ruling Star
I saw, alas! some dread Event impend,
Ere to the Main this Morning Sun descend.
But Heav'n reveals not what, or how, or where:
Warn'd by thy Sylph , oh Pious Maid beware!
This to disclose is all thy Guardian can.
Beware of all, but most beware of Man!
Hear and believe!
Wounds, charms and ardors were no sooner read,
But all my warnings vanished from thy head!
Zephyrettta! Brillante! Crispissa!
Say, lovely Maid, that dost my heart command,
Can Belinda's eyes forget her Baron's hand?
Not bubbling fountains to the thirsty swain,
Not balmy sleep to lab'rers faint with pain,
Not showers to larks, nor sunshine to the bee,
Are half so charming as thy sight to me.
Come, Belinda, come; why this long delay?
Let's meet in Hampton's shady paths today!
In Hampton's shady paths ... meet? I think not!
"Eloisa to Abelard" ...
From ancient lovers, learn true tenderness
From struggling Grace and Nature, learn of Bliss
This - this is love, by passion deep enthralled;
Let me so love, or never love at all!
In these deep solitudes and awful cells,
Where heav'nly-pensive Contemplation dwells,
And ever-musing Melancholy reigns,
What means this tumult in a vestal's veins?
Why feels my heart its long-forgotten heat?
Yet, yet I love! - From Abelard it came,.
And Eloisa yet must kiss the name.
Dear fatal name! rest ever unreveal'd,
Nor pass these lips, in holy silence seal'd.
O write it not, my hand- the name appears.
- wash it out, my tears!
Soon as thy letters trembling I unclose,
That well-known name awakens all my woes.
I tremble, too, where'ere my own I find,
Some dire misfortune follows close behind.
Assist me, Heav'n! but whence arose that prayer?
Sprung it from piety or from despair?
In seas of flame my plunging soul is drown'd,
While altars blaze, and angels tremble round.
Come, if thou dar'st, all charming as thou art!
oppose thyself to Heav'n; dispute my heart;
Snatch me, just mounting, from the blest abode:
Assist the fiends, and tear me from my God!
Some to the Sun their Insect-Wings unfold,
Waft on the Breeze, or sink in clouds of gold.
Transparent Forms, too fine for mortal Sight,
Their fluid Bodies half dissolv'd in Light.
Loose to the Wind their airy Garments flew,
Thin glitt'ering Textures of the filmy Dew,
Dipt in the richest Tincture of the Skies,
Where Light disports in ever-mingling Dies,
While ev'ry Beam new transient Colours flings,
Colours that change whene'er they wave their Wings.
Some in the Fields of purest Aether play,
And bask and whiten in the Blaze of Day.
Some guide the Course of wandring Orbs on high,
Or roll the Planets through the boundless Sky.
Some less refin'd, beneath the Moon's pale Light
Pursue the Stars that shoot athwart the Night,
Or suck the Mists in grosser Air below,
Or dip their Pinions in the painted Bow,
Or brew fierce Tempests on the wintry Main,
Or o'er the Glebe distill the kindly Rain.
Others on Earth o'er human Race preside,
Watch all their Ways, and all their Actions guide:
Of these the Chief the Care of Nations own,
And guard with Arms Divine the British Throne.
Our humbler Province is to tend the Fair,
Not a less pleasing, tho' less glorious Care,
To save the Powder from too rude a Gale,
Nor let th'imprison'd Essences exhale,
To draw fresh Colours from the vernal Flow'rs,
To curl their waving Hairs,
Assist their Blushes, and inspire their Airs.
Know farther yet; Whoever fair and chaste
Rejects Mankind, is by some Sylph embrac'd:
For Spirits, freed from mortal Laws, with ease
Assume what Sexes and what Shapes they please.
Oft when the World imagine Women stray,
The Sylphs through mystick Mazes guide their Way,
Through all the giddy Circle they pursue,
And old Impertinence expel by new.
This erring Mortals 'Levity' may call,
Oh blind to Truth! the Sylphs contrive it all.
And now, unveil'd, the Toilette stands display'd,
Each Silver Vase in mystic Order laid.
Unnumber'd Treasures open at once, and here
The various Off'rings of the World appear;
This Casket India's glowing Gems unlocks,
And all Arabia breathes from yonder Box.
The Tortoise here and Elephant unite,
Transform'd to Combs, the speckled and the white.
Here Files of Pins extend their shining Rows,
Puffs, Powders, Patches, Bibles, Billet-doux.
Repair the Smiles, awaken ev'ry Grace,
And summon all the Wonders of the Face;
Make by Degrees a purer Blush arise,
And keener Lightnings quicken in the Eyes.
More fair each moment, rising in new Charms,
Now awful Beauty puts on all its Arms.
Not with more Glories, in th'Etherial Plain,
The Sun first rises o'er the purpled Main,
Than issuing forth, the Rival of his Beams
Launch'd on the Bosom of the Silver Thames.
Smooth flow the Waves, the Zephyrs gently play,
Belinda smiles, and all the World is gay.
But now secure the painted Vessel glides,
The Sun-beams trembling on the floating Tydes,
While melting Musick steals upon the Sky,
And soften'd Sounds along the Waters die.
Smooth flow the Waves, the Zephyrs gently play,
Belinda smiles, and all the World is gay.
Here shall we Lords and Ladies resort,
And taste awhile the Pleasures of a Court;
Here Thou, Great Anna! whom three Realms obey,
Dost sometimes Counsel take
.... and sometimes Tea.
Here Britain's Statesmen oft foretell the Fall
Of Foreign Tyrants
.... and of Nymphs at home
Bright as the Sun, her Eyes the Gazers strike,
And, like the Sun, they shine on all alike.
Favours to none, to all she Smiles extends
Oft she rejects, but never once offends.
This Nymph, to the Destruction of Mankind,
Nourishes two Locks, which graceful hang behind
In equal Curls, and well conspire to deck
With shining Ringlets her smooth Ivory Neck.
Fair Tresses Man's imperial Race ensnare
And Beauty draws us with a single Hair.
Love in these Labyrinths his Slaves detains,
And mighty Hearts are held in slender Chains
This Baron to a sacred Prize aspires,
His Hero's heart is swayed by false Desire,
Resolv'd to win, he meditates the way,
By Force to ravish, or by Fraud betray;
Love in these Labyrinths his Slaves detains,
And mighty Hearts are held in slender Chains.
Umbriel! a dusky melancholy Spright,
As ever sully'd the fair face of Light,
In gloomy Central Earth, his proper Scene
He serves the feckless King and Queen of Spleen!
Oh! Yield at last, nor still remain severe;
I worship you, and you alone I fear!
For oh! I burn, nor you my flames assuage;
And love disdain'd revives with fiercer rage.
Belinda smiles and all the world is gay;
All but myself - With careful Thoughts opprest,
Th'impending Woe sits heavy on my Breast.
I'll summon strait my Denizens of Air;
O lucid Squadrons round the Sails repair!
Ye Sylphs and Sylphids, to your Chief give Ear,
Fays, Fairies, Genii, Elves, and Daemons hear!
This Day, black Omens threat the brightest Fair
That e'er deserv'd a watchful Spirit's Care;
Some dire Disaster, or by Force, or Slight,
But what, or where, the Fates have wrapt in Night.
Shall our precious Nymph break Diana's Law,
Or some frail China Jar receive a Flaw,
Or stain her Honour, or her new Brocade,
Forget her pray'rs, or miss a Masquerade,
Or lose her Heart, or Necklace, at a Ball;
Or Heav'n perhaps has doom'd that Shock must fall.
Ye know the Spheres and various Tasks assign'd
By Laws Eternal, to the Aerial Kind.
Haste then ye Spirits! to your Charge repair;
The flutt'ring Fan be Zephyretta's Care;
The Drops to thee, Brillante, we consign;
And in addition let the Watch be thine;
Do thou, Crispissa, tend her fav'rite Lock;
Ariel himself shall be the Guard of Shock.
To Fifty chosen Sylphs, of special Note,
We trust th'important Charge, the Petticoat:
Oft have we known that sev'nfold Fence to fail,
Tho' stiff with Hoops, and arm'd with Ribs of Whale.
Form a strong Line about the Silver Bound,
And guard the wide Circumference around.
Whatever Spirit, careless of his Charge,
His Post neglects, or leaves the Fair at large,
Shall feel sharp Vengeance soon o'ertake his Sins,
Be stopt in Vials, or transfixt with Pins;
Or plung'd in Lakes of bitter Washes lie,
Or wedg'd whole Ages in a Bodkin's Eye:
In Fumes of burning Chocolate he'll glow,
And tremble at the Sea that froaths below!
I must follow Umbriel, who conspires
And to th'oppressive Cave of Spleen retires.
Swift on his sooty Pinions flitts the Gnome,
And in a Vapour seeks the dismal Dome.
With beating Hearts the dire Event they wait,
Anxious, and trembling for the Birth of Fate.
SCENE I Entrance to Hampton Court
Plume, my good fellow! Just returned from France?
What a figure you cut, the latest styles!
He's very fine. Extreme proper.
I never saw a coat better cut.
It makes me show long-waisted, and, I think, slender.
That's the shape our ladies dote on.
His gloves are quite graceful.
I was always eminent for being bien-ganté.
He wears nothing but what are originals of
the most famous hands in Paris.
You are in the right, sir.
The suit?
The gloves?
And the marvelous cane?
Clouded amber and ebony.
Oh, Such a box!
Lapis Lazuli with gold chasing by the finest master
Madam, a letter arrived for you as I came in.
I took the audacious liberty of bringing it myself.
Sir, I am most grateful to such an esteemed gentleman.
At your service, most humbly.
What ingenious shoes! Piccat.
A letter from Lady Mary! - from Constantinople -
Her husband is ambassador to Turkey!
Read it, you must! I can't wait to hear the news,
always so entertaining ... so tantalizing!
What are they saying over there?
Who gave the Ball, or paid the Visit last?
What Laurels Marlborough next shall reap, they do decree,
And swifter than His Arms, give Victory .....
If one interprets Motions, Looks, and Eyes;
At ev'ry Word a Reputation dies.
How gay Ideas crowd the vacant Brain.
That was the merry flutter ... There is the angry flutter,
the confused flutter, the modest flutter and the amorous flutter. Every imaginable emotion of the mind produces a suitable agitation in the fan. I have seen a fan so very
angry, that it would have been dangerous for the absent
lover who provoked it to havecome within wind of it.
At other times, it was so very languishing that I have been glad for the lady's sake the lover was at a sufficient distance from it.
The letter! In a moment -
First, Clarissa has special instructions for us
Prodigiously useful to all ...
Women are armed with fans as men are armed with
swords and sometimes cause more execution with them.
So that you may be entire mistress of the weapons you
bear, you must first practice the "Exercises of the Fan."
When I say, "Handle your fans," each of you shake your fan at me with a smile, then give your right-hand woman a tap upon the shoulder, then press your lips with the extremity of the fan. Then stand in readiness to receive the next word of command.
Handle your Fans!
Unfurl your Fans!
Discharge your Fans!
Ground your Fans!
Recover your Fans! Now flutter, Now Refold!
Belinda has emerged a General from this school.
She has, to my knowledge, been the ruin of above five
other gentlemen beside myself. My humble request
is that this bold Amazon be ordered to lay down her arms,
or that you would teach us to manage our snuff-boxes
so that we may be an equal match for her.
Very well.
Successful opposition against a regiment of fans
requires calculation and constabulary plans
The rules for offering snuff will vary by degree
according to the distance between snuffeur and snuffee.
An offer to a stranger, a mistress or a friend each have a proper gesture to accompany your ends.
To take a careless pinch, breathe lightly when inhaling
A scornful pinch requires a steady jaw , the wrist is flailing
An inflammatory pinch to irk a swaggering beau
accompanies the tilted head, the smile with eyebrows low.
A conciliatory pinch, towards one who has caused you pain
Must hint that you most consciously disdain to show disdain.
The most important pinch, seductive and persuading
Is slow, with only partial view, languid but engaging.
Numerous variations you may practice as you please;
One thing remains forbidden: you must never, never sneeze!
Such courtly airs and motions no lady can survive,
Be thou Man or Fop - at Ombre we'll decide!
Behold, four Kings in Majesty rever'd,
With hoary Whiskers and a forky Beard;
And four fair Queens whose hands sustain a Flow'r,
Th'expressive Emblem of their softer Pow'r;
Four Knaves in Garbs succinct, a trusty Band,
Caps on their heads, and Halberds in their hand;
And Particolour'd Troops, a shining Train,
Draw forth to combat on the Velvet Plain.
Let Spades be Trumps!
Now move to War her Sable Matadores,
In Show like Leaders of the swarthy Moors.
Spadillio first, unconquerable Lord!
Led off two captive Trumps, and swept the Board.
As many more Manillio forc'd to yield,
And march'd a Victor from the verdant Field.
Him Basto followed, but his fate more hard,
Gained but one Trump and one Plebeian Card.
With his broad Sabre next, a Chief in Years,
The hoary Majesty of Spades appears;
The Rebel-Knave, who dares his Prince engage,
Proves the just Victim of his Royal Rage.
Thus far both Armies to Belinda yield;
Now to the Baron Fate inclines the Field.
His warlike Amazon her Host invades,
Th'Imperial Consort of the Crown of Spades.
The Club's black Tyrant first her Victim dy'd,
Spite of his haughty Mien, and barb'rous Pride:
The Baron now his Diamonds pours apace;
Th'embroider'd King who shows but half his Face,
And his refulgent Queen, with Pow'rs combin'd,
Of broken Troops an easie Conquest find.
Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, in wild Disorder seen,
With Throngs promiscuous strow the level Green.
The pierc'd Battalions dis-united fall,
In Heaps on Heaps; one Fate o'erwhelms them all.
The Knave of Diamonds tries his wily Arts,
And wins (oh shameful Chance!) the Queen of Hearts.
At this, the Blood the Virgin's Cheek forsook,
A livid Paleness spreads o'er all her Look;
She sees, and trembles at th'approaching Ill,
Just in the Jaws of Ruin, and Codille.
An Ace of Hearts steps forth: The King unseen
Lurk'd in her Hand, and mourn'd his captive Queen.
He springs to Vengeance with an eager pace,
And falls like Thunder on the prostrate Ace.
Dear Friends, refreshment here awaits our pleasure
Release your jilted troops to joy and leisure!
For lo! the Board with Cups and Spoons is crown'd,
The Berries crackle, and the Mill turns round.
From silver Spouts the grateful Liquors glide,
While China's Earth receives the smoking Tyde
Coffee makes the Politician wise,
And see through all things with his half-shut Eyes
Likewise the Philos'pher drinks two-handed,
When called upon to be concise or candid.
Coffee gives the Righteous Moral Vigor
And true Contempt to every pointed Finger.
O Perilous Tempter of the Royal Humor
O Vindicator of the Whispered Rumor
She visited a Turkish Bath!
"They walked and moved with majestic grace,
all in the state of Nature, even so is Eve conjured
by the immortal Milton, exactly proportioned
as any goddess drawn by Titian"
The Lover sips to give his faint resolve
An Hour of Nerve before his Verve dissolves.
The Vapours, rising to his steaming Brain
Breathe Stratagems, the radiant Lock to gain!
See how the baron draws with tempting Grace
A two-edg'd Weapon from his shining Case;
So when to Mischief Mortals bend their Will,
How soon they find fit Instruments of Ill
Ah cease rash Youth! desist!
She says, "if t'were the fashion to go naked,
the face would hardly be observed."
The flash of living Lightning from her Eyes,
And Screams of Horror rend th'affrighted Skies.
Not louder Shrieks to pitying Heav'n are cast,
When Husbands or when Lap-dogs breathe their last.
Madam - it was the Coffee!
So prates the man whom Nature has deceived:
Or foul or fair, both equally perceived.
What Time wou'd spare, from Steel receives its date,
And Monuments, like Men, submit to Fate!
Steel could the Labour of the Gods destroy,
And strike to Dust th'Imperial Tow'rs of Troy;
Steel could the Works of mortal Pride confound,
And hew Triumphal Arches to the Ground.
What Wonder then, fair Nymph! thy Hairs should feel
The conqu'ring Force of unresisted Steel?
CANTO IV CAVE OF SPLEEN (omitted)
No cheerful Breeze this sullen Region knows,
The dreadful East is all the Wind that blows.
Here, in a Grotto, sheltred close from Air,
And screen'd in Shades from Day's detested Glare,
They sigh for ever on with becoming Woe,
Wrapt in a Gown, for Sickness and for Show.
The Fair-ones feel such Maladies as these,
When each new Night-Dress gives a new Disease.
Not always Actions show the man: we find
Who does a kindness, is not therefore kind;
Alas! in truth the man but chang'd his mind,
Perhaps was sick, in love, or had not din'd.
Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise,
His pride in Reas'ning, not in acting Lies.
Alas, what wonder! Man's superior part
Uncheck'd may rise, and climb from art to art:
But when his own great work is but begun,
What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone.
Nothing so true as what you once let fall,
'Most Women have no Characters at all'.
Bred to disguise, in Public 'tis you hide;
There, none distinguish 'twixt your Shame or Pride,
Weakness or Delicacy; all so nice,
That each may seem a Virtue, or a Vice.
Men, some to Quiet, some to public Strife;
But ev'ry Lady would be Queen for life.
Wit and judgment often are at strife,
Tho' meant each other's aid, like man and wife.
Alike in dour and disengaging mind,
Some common target we could surely find:
_______ ?
In Poets as true genius is but rare,
True Taste as seldom is the Critic's share.
'Tis with their judgments as their watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read,
With Loads of Learned Lumber in his Head,
With his own Tongue still edifies his Ears,
And always List'ning to Himself appears.
No Place so Sacred from such Fops is barr'd,
Nor is Paul's Church more safe than Paul's Church-yard
Nay, fly to Altars; there they'll talk you dead;
For Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.
To what base Ends, and by what abject Ways,
Are Mortals urg'd thro' Sacred Lust of praise!
Ah ne'er so dire a Thirst of Glory boast,
Nor in the Critic let the Man be lost!
Good-Nature and Good-Sense must ever join;
To err is Human; to Forgive, Divine.
But Fools have still an Itching to deride,
And fain wou'd be upon the Laughing Side;
In search of Wit some lose their common Sense,
And then turn Criticks in their own Defence.
True Wit is Nature to Advantage drest,
What oft was Thought, but ne'er so well Exprest
Some on the Leaves of ancient Authors prey,
Nor Time nor Moths e'er spoil'd so much as they
Turn what he may to verse, the Poet's toil is vain
Critics like these shall make it Prose again!
** Please note that these are the views of the poet,)
not necessarily those of the artists, management
or composer, and that they refer only to literary critics,
none of whom are associated with [The New York Times
or The New Yorker, whoever is attending]
Hail wayward Queen! and Hail unscrupulous King!
Who rule the Spiteful, Dissolute and Vain
Parents of Vapors and of mortal Wit,
Who give th'Hysteric or Poetic Fit,
Who give the wily knave a pleasing aura,
Drive some to ruin and some to Opera,
A Nymph there is, that all thy Pow'r disdains,
And thousands more in equal Mirth maintains.
Hear me, and touch Belinda with Chagrin;
That single Act gives half the World the Spleen.
This morning, Ere Phoebus rose, Lord Petre had implor'd
Propitious Heav'n, and ev'ry Pow'r ador'd,
But chiefly Love to Love an Altar built,
Of twelve vast French Romances, neatly gilt.
There lay three Garters, half a Pair of Gloves;
And all the Trophies of his former Loves.
With tender Billet-Doux he lights the Pyre,
And breathes three am'rous Sighs to raise the Fire.
Then prostrate falls, and begs with ardent Eyes
Soon to obtain, and long possess the Prize:
The Pow'rs give Ear, and grant but half the Pray'r,
The rest, the Winds disperse in empty Air.
A wondrous Bag with both her Hands she binds,
Like that where once Ulysses held the Winds;
There she collects the Force of Female Lungs,
Sighs, Sobs, and Passions, and the War of Tongues.
A Vial next she fills with fainting Fears,
Soft Sorrows, melting Griefs, and flowing Tears.
O wretched Maid!
Was it for this you took such constant Care
The Bodkin, Comb, and Essence to prepare;
For this your Locks in Paper-Durance bound,
For this with tort'ring Irons wreath'd around!
Not youthful Kings in Battle seiz'd alive,
Not scornful Virgins who their Charms survive,
Not Tyrants fierce that unrepenting die,
Not Cynthia when her Manteau's pinned awry,
E'er felt such Rage, Resentment and Despair,
As Thou, sad Virgin! for thy ravish'd Hair.
Oh blindness to the future! kindly giv'n!
That each may fill the circle mark'd by Heav'n;
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,
Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd,
And now a bubble burst, and now a world.
Hope humbly then; with trembling pinions soar;
Wait the great teacher Death, and God adore!
What future bliss, he gives not thee to know,
But gives that Hope to be thy blessing now.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast:
Man never Is, but always To be blest
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come
Let Wreaths of Triumph now my Temples twine,
I am victorious, the glorious Prize is mine!
While Fish in Streams, or Birds delight in Air,
Or in a Coach and Six the British Fair,
While Nymphs take Treats, or Assignations give,
So long my Honour, Name, and Praise shall live!
"My Lord, why, what the Devil?
"Z-ds! damn the Lock! 'fore Gad, you must be civil!
"Plague on 't! 'tis past a Jest - nay prithee, Pox!
"Give her the Hair"
It grieves me much
Who speaks so well shou'd ever speak in vain.
But by this Lock, this sacred Lock I swear,
Which never more shall join its parted Hair,
That while my Nostrils draw the vital Air,
This Hand, which won it, shall for ever wear.
Not half so fixt the Trojan could remain,
While Anna begg'd and Dido rag'd in vain.
For ever curs'd be this detested Day,
Which snatched my best, my fav'rite Curl away!
Happy! ah ten times happy, had I been,
If Hampton-Court these Eyes had never seen!
How sad the pitying Audience melts in Tears,
But Fate and Jove have stopp'd the Baron's Ears.
Oh had I rather un-admir'd remain'd
In some lone Isle, or distant Northern Land;
There kept my Charms conceal'd from mortal Eye,
Like Roses that in Desarts bloom and die.
Gods! shall the Ravisher display your Hair,
While the Fops envy, and the Ladies stare!
And shall this Prize, th'inestimable Prize,
Expos'd through Crystal to the gazing Eyes,
And heighten'd by the Diamond's circling Rays,
On that Rapacious Hand for ever blaze?
Sooner let Earth, Air, Sea, to Chaos fall,
Men, Monkies, Lap-dogs, Parrots, perish all!
What mov'd my Mind with youthful Lords to roam?
O had I stay'd, and said my Pray'rs at home
See the poor Remnants of these slighted Hairs!
My hands shall rend what ev'n thy Rapine spare
In Love the Victors from the Vanquish'd fly;
They fly that wound, and they pursue that dye.
Oh hadst thou, Cruel! been content to seize
Hairs less in sight, or any Hairs but these!
[ "You wish ..."]
Ah, ah, choo!
Now meet thy Fate, oh most insulting Foe!
Thou by some other shalt be laid as low!
Restore the Lock!
Restore the Lock!
But see how oft Ambitious Aims are cross'd,
And Chiefs contend 'till all the Prize is lost!
The Lock, obtain'd with Guilt, and kept with Pain,
In ev'ry place is sought, but sought in vain:
With such a Prize no Mortal must be blest,
So Heav'n decrees! with Heav'n who can contest?
A sudden Star, it shoots through liquid Air,
And draws behind a radiant Trail of Hair.
This the Beau-monde shall from the Mall survey,
And hail with Musick its propitious Ray.
Then cease, bright Nymph! to mourn thy ravish'd Hair
Which adds new Glory to the shining Sphere!
For, after all the Murders of your Eye,
When, after Millions slain, your self shall die;
When those fair Suns shall sett, as sett they must,
And all those Tresses shall be laid in Dust;
This Lock, the Muse shall consecrate to Fame,
And mid'st the Stars inscribe Belinda's Name
[as Lords are being served coffee, same music as "that was the merry flutter"]
(spoken) PLUME
You know of course that the great anatomist, Dr. Thomas Willis observed that Coffee makes men paralytic and so slackens the sinews and nerves that they become unfit for those sports and excercises of the bed that are necessary to the recreations of their wives. In Persia the wives do serve it in order to avoid the inconveniences of having many children.
(spoken) FIRST LORD
And the famous Dr. Duncan says that the most mischievous quality of coffee is the heat it occasions by its many sharp, subtile, and volatile parts, whereby it chiefly threatens the liver.
(spoken) SECOND LORD
No, no, that is all completely false! The illustrious Dr. Richard Bradley of the Royal Society has established beyond a doubt that Coffee is only harmful to those who have Vapours, Melancholy or hot brains. Coffee is very beneficial for those with cold and moist constitutions. It is known to cure Consumptions, Swooning fits, Migraine, Vertigo, Lethargy, and the Rickets. It helps digestion and gives life and gaity to the spirits.
I thought as much myself! LORDS
from "Coffee, Sex and Health" by Ian Bersten
(spoken) BELINDA
"In Vienna - a lady is never invited to dinner
without her husband and her lover!"
(spoken) LADIES
Both? And she sits between the two!
I'll have to see for myself ... Lady Mary!

Summary: A prince, an assassin, the captain of the guard, and a rebellious princess lives are changed and entwined forever when the king calls for his champion.
Pitted against twenty-three mercenaries, thieves, and warriors, Celaena Sardothien can obtain her freedom she has desired for so long. But if she loses she be sent back the prison, her ultimate death. But something evil lurks in the dark of the palace, something that is killing the competitors one by one. And if Celaena ever wishes to obtain her freedom or even just survive she must destroy that evilness before it destroys her and everything she holds dear. It's no longer just a fight for freedom, but a fight for her life. And it is the begining of an epic adventure.
Celaena is such a interesting character. We see her struggle and suffer. But she is strong and beautiful in all the ways that matter. Her fiery spirit and witty make her so enjoyable, she will hold your attention to the very end… and then some.
Chaol is serious, over protective, loyal to a fault and very oblivious to his own feelings. But these just make him more endearing. He's caring in an understated way and the companionship he offers Celaena is so endearing. He's may be opening her up to something neither of them considered a possibilty until now.
Dorian's kindness however is exactly what Celaena needs, and vice-versa. They need each other even if they don't know it yet. Stuck under his father'a rule without a care in the world, Dorian is basically his father's puppet until he meets Celaena, and that is when things get interesting. He has big plans…even if it does not turn out exactly the way he intended, he learning to roll with the punches. Dorian begins to care, love and be human again; because by being a friend he gains one.
Nehmia is Celaena overall confidant. Nehmia is smart and kick ass in a regal way and I love her. She's devoted to her people and justice and those traits make her a formidable character. She's strong in a different way than Celaena and it gives the book so much more depth because it's so complex yet simple all at once. Truly remarkable.
The way the characters develop throughout the story take you deeper into their minds to make you feel that you are them, but Sarah is just scratching the surface–there is so much more than to what meets the eye. The characters and storyline make the Throne of Glass feel so real because everything isn't always happy endings but it's a great story told remarkable well.
Sarah's debut into the world of fantasy is kick-ass, amazing, and a must read for any lover of anything awesome. It's mysterious and dark but also humorous and endearing all at once. Her witty dialect, and cunning but honorable, temperamental characters draw out your own emotions slowly pulling any reader into this magical kingdom.
So it definitely wouldn't kill you to read about the assassin named Celaena Sardothien. Unless your dying of enjoyment… Which could happen.

Super Healthy mushroom snack!
My favorite snack for when I go on one of my "healthy food" kicks lol.
Buy a big mushroom (any kind you like) and remove the stem. After cleaning it off add some tomato sauce to the middle and top with cheese (again any kind, but I use mozzarella normally). But it in the broiler just until the cheese is melty and eat!!! It's really easy and soooo tasty!

Speeding Teen Driver in Salisbury, NC Causes Injuries, Loss of Life
12/30/2011Comments (1)
Joyce McDowell Curl broke both her legs and has bruising all over her body. She had to undergo surgery due to the severity of her injuries.
The accident occurred when the 18-year-old driver of a Buick decided to go about 70 mph in a 45 mph zone and drove onto the shoulder. Troopers believe the driver either overcorrected or lost control of the vehicle, crossed the center line, and crashed into Curl's Nissan, according to wsoctv.com.
View Larger Map
David Molina was a passenger in the Buick, and he died as a result of the accident. He was only 23 years old. Reports indicate that all three individuals were wearing seat belts at the time of the wreck.
My deepest condolences go out to the Molina family. Losing someone you love is one of the most difficult experiences anyone has to go through in life, but the pain is made even worse when the loss is sudden and due to the carelessness of another person. The family should consult with a wrongful death attorney in North Carolina to discuss their legal options.
To learn about what damages may be pursued in a North Carolina wrongful death suit, take a look at this article written by a wrongful death attorney.

My father is 75 years old, a senior citizen and when I visited him and my stepmother last year in January 2014, he was actively doing gardening and producing vegetables to sell. Aside from this, he got 3 cows which he looks after, he told me one of them is his favourite and looks after it better than the others. Aside from this, he and my stepmother have chickens, dogs and lots of plants they are growing. My father although he is a senior citizen does not stop at all. He used to be a farmer and a miner. But now that he is retired, he still works hard in the garden. I admire him really, he reminds me of his father, my granddad, he also did not stop working until he died.

It sounds like your dad has a good thing going. I do agree that it is best to stay active in later years. Thank you for the nice comment.
Hi! I am a senior citizen, as is my wife. It's our fifty-fifth wedding anniversary today. So what activities do we currently participate in? (and there's been one helluva lot in recenty years)
Well, my wife is involved in voluntary work raising money for charity. She works anything from one to four half-days a week at this. Also, she organizes at lot of the social events for those who work with her as she's on the local group's committee.
For me, I'm into public speaking, storytelling and teaching my club members and others about this. I've been a Toastmaster for most of my adult life. I'm currently in four Toastmaster clubs. I also do a lot of Creative Writing, having written about ten books and around 400 essays since I 'retired' in 1995.
You could generalize and say that 'retirement' - provided one spends time doing the things one loves to do - is the most productive, rewarding, and joyful period of one's life, the proviso being that one is in good health.

With your attitude you make me think that retirement will be a good time of life. Congratulations on the fifty-five years of marriage. That's amazing.
Thank you,
We are now in our senior years and we are still very active. My husband and I are still actively working as a consultants in education projects here in Cambodia and before this in Vietnam. We were in Florida in January and enjoyed it but we'd rather be here still contributing and being engaged.

Good for you Mary. I think it's great that you two are so active. I think it's about finding something that you love to do.
Thank you,

2015: A Critical Year for Information Technology & Communications ("IT/C")
IT/C issues will capture an extraordinary amount of attention from global business and compliance leaders in 2015. We see this trajectory developing as a result of the confluence of several factors, including (i) global business imperatives for technology solutions, (ii) the organizational risks associated with information technology and data, and (iii) the ever expanding and changing landscape of global IT/C regulations.
(i) Business imperatives for technology solutions. Business imperatives will continue to turn to IT/C solutions across healthcare, financial services, consumer, and other industry sectors. Among other competitive benefits, IT/C solutions provide opportunities for organizations to enhance the efficiency of business processes, to capitalize on new sources of revenue, and to establish new products, services, and business models. By way of example, the Internet of Things ("IoT") is enabling product manufacturers and others to offer new services and achieve unprecedented access to end user relationships. Cloud computing offers cost savings, scalability, and flexibility across all aspects of enterprise computing, including IT/C services as well as business process outsourcing through Software as a Service ("SaaS") and other models. Mobile applications, location data, social media, cookies/tracking technologies, and other sources of information will facilitate "big data" analysis, including precise targeted marketing and new business models that involve monetization and efficient leveraging of data. And various other technology developments, such as driverless cars, appear poised to effectuate change across various industries and sectors.
(ii) Organizational risks with information technology and data. Despite the manifold benefits and the unstoppable momentum toward more information technology solutions and innovations, the organizational risks associated with these benefits have never been more acute. We enter 2015 with unprecedented cyber security risks. Companies in recent years have already faced challenges protecting against cyber attackers that seek government identifiers, credit card numbers, intellectual property, or other data for financial gain or for purposes of effectuating other goals such as embarrassing the company. Now, it is clear that such attacks can also be carried out on a broad scale in a manner that is calculated to cause widespread data and system destruction. Companies must therefore update their risk assessments and preparations to include scenarios where attacks not only take data, but also effectuate business disruption via damage to the company's Internet sites and computer systems, as well as relationships with business partners and others.
Companies should not underestimate the demands that these expanded cyber threats place on their information security programs and defenses, as well as their overall information governance structure across privacy and data protection, regulatory compliance, record retention, and record destruction policies and procedures. In addition, companies should take into account their extended enterprise and
third party relationships. Perhaps most notably, cloud computing opens tremendous opportunities with third party relationships, but as highlighted in our recent Baker & McKenzie's Global Cloud Computing Survey, privacy, security, and regulatory issues are top of mind for customers and providers of cloud services.
(iii) Changing and expanding global IT/C regulations. Against the backdrop of business imperatives and organizational risks, organizations must also face a changing and expanding array of IT/C regulations and enforcement activities. Some of the regulatory initiatives may ultimately be helpful for global business if done properly, such as proposals in the US that could promote better cybersecurity information sharing between the private sector and government, or establish federal breach notification standards with pre-emption of the myriad of state breach notice laws. Others could have unintended consequences that materially slow the growth and development of the Internet economy if not properly considered, such as proposals in the US to establish a comprehensive privacy bill of rights. In Europe, critical decisions will be faced this year as efforts are made to seek the adoption of a rigorous EC Data Protection Regulation to replace the member state laws based on the 1995 data protection directive. In other regions and territories, including the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America, there is a rapid expansion of regulations on privacy, security, telecommunications, and other issues affecting IT/C.
What's inside of LegalBytes. In this edition of LegalBytes, among other developments, you'll see updates from all corners of the world where Baker & McKenzie has IT/C attorneys. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation ("CASL") now includes a "spyware" provision that can sweep as broadly as cookies and other commonly used technologies. France is adopting new guidelines on mobile apps and employee monitoring in internal investigations. Australia and Spain are adopting new rules affecting copyright protection. Hong Kong is urging financial institutions to protect against expanded cyber-security threats. And, Argentina, Australia, and Canada are updating telecommunications regulations.
We hope that you enjoy this January 2015 edition of LegalBytes. We welcome your feedback or suggestions. As always, if you have questions, you should reach out to the Baker & McKenzie IT/C attorney(s) who drafted the article at issue, or your usual Baker & McKenzie contact. We look forward to continued discussions and dialogue with you as this important year for IT/C progresses.

However, years later he is contacted by his brother's fiancee, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), who tells of how her love has gone missing, leading Talbot to return home in order to help with the search.
Upon his arrival, however, he discovers that something horrifyingly strong with a seemingly unquenchable thirst for blood has been terrorising the villagers.
With the death toll rising, a very suspicious Inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) from Scotland Yard is on the case.
As he begins to uncover the truth, he hears about a curse that transforms the affected into a werewolf under the full moon...

Louis Dreyfus Property Group is building a 1.1-million-square-foot, three-building complex that stretches from H Street to F Street along 2nd Street. Two buildings in the complex are to house the new headquarters of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company is looking for a tenant for the third building. The project is scheduled to be completed by late 2007.
"We're big believers in that area," said Robert H. Braunohler, vice president for development with Louis Dreyfus. "It's just a matter of a few years before it really starts to take off."
Akridge, a District-based real estate development company, has a contract to purchase 15 acres of air rights above the rail yard on both sides of H Street for $10 million. The company proposes building 2 million square feet of space, in a mix that could include offices, stores, housing and a 400-room hotel.
Both Dreyfus's and Akridge's projects will abut the Hopscotch Bridge, which takes H Street over the railroad tracks behind Union Station. The bridge, built in the 1970s primarily to speed the commute from Maryland, gets its name from the mural that adorns it. When it was built, it effectively cut the H Street corridor off from other nearby neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill while greatly increasing high-speed traffic through the area.
"It's not going to feel like that horrible bridge anymore," said Shannon Small, vice president of marketing for Akridge. "With the buildings coming right up to it, the bridge is going to become a connection between the businesses on the west side and residential on the east side."
Braunohler said that, as part of getting D.C. approval for its project, Louis Dreyfus agreed to build a pedestrian walkway from H Street to Union Station through one of its buildings that has an entrance on the bridge.
Several new businesses have recently opened on H Street, including a couple of restaurants, a clothing store and an ice cream shop. The Atlas Theater, which will include two venues, is to open in October, joining the H Street Playhouse, which also recently opened on the street. A new coffee house is also planned.
What H Street merchants say they need, though, is more people to patronize their stores.
The new housing will certainly bring residents. How many people will come to H Street, and how much they will pay to be there, has yet to be tested.
Abdo Development builds top-of-the-line luxury condominiums, units with soaring glass windows, unusual loft spaces, open floor plans and high-end appliances and materials. For all that chic, the company fetches high prices, often pushing the price envelope in neighborhoods where they build. Will buyers pay amounts unheard of for near Northeast to live near H Street, next to the Hopscotch Bridge, even if it is in a meticulously restored historic building?
"I'm confident we can generate prices in the $500-a-square-foot range there," Abdo said. "I have no doubts." At $500 a square foot, a 1,000-square-foot condo would cost $500,000.
Home prices are certainly climbing on the leafy residential streets north of H Street, although they're nowhere near that high.
According to the area's multiple listing service, the average sales price of a home between H Street and Florida Avenue NE was $79,000 in 1999. By 2003, it had jumped to $226,000. Although residents do express some concern that expensive new development in the neighborhood could lead to displacement of long-time residents, most say it's not a huge factor for their neighborhood.
"I wonder sometimes if the same people that were here for the rough times will be able to stay for the good times," said resident and business owner Saleem, who grew up in a rowhouse just off H Street. "Folks who have lived here a long time mostly own their homes, though. So they have the option of staying, or selling for a lot of money and moving somewhere else."
The residential area north of H Street is mostly a patchwork of small tree-lined streets with modest rowhouses. "A renovated two-bedroom rowhouse recently sold for over $300,000 there," said Don Denton, manager of the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Pardoe office on Capitol Hill. "We're shocked, but that's the way it is. There's been a sea change in mentality. Everyone is showing that area now. And we're seeing very little buyer resistance. Four to five years ago, that wasn't the case."
Denton said recent home buyers have been mostly young professionals who want to live in the city but have been priced out of Capitol Hill and other neighborhoods. "They're willing to sacrifice something in terms of neighborhoods in the short run to avoid that 1 1/2-hour commute every day," he said.
Chris Macks and his girlfriend Jennifer Char are two such recent buyers. The couple has a contract to buy a two-bedroom, one-bath rowhouse on I Street NE for $269,000.
"We didn't start out looking there," Macks said. "We wanted to live on Capitol Hill. But the only things we could afford there were absolute shells."
He said, "I can't honestly say I'll be strolling around the neighborhood at night. But I am going to get involved in the community. We're actually more excited to be part of an emerging area than an area that's completely gentrified."

In what might be the most genius career move of the millennium, some legend bribed his way to securing 10 interviews by sending recruiters his resume inside a box of sweet, sweet doughnuts. Because let's be real, who doesn't like doughnuts?!
Lukas Yla, a 25-year-old marketing professional living in San Francisco, found himself out of work. So to stand out from the piles of 12pt Times New Roman resumes recruiters receive every day and showcase just how freakin' brilliant he is at marketing a product (himself in this case) he decided to combine his written skill set with baked goods.
But here's where the story gets even better. In true Catch Me If You Can style, Lukas then posed as a delivery person so he could HAND DELIVER his delish parcels direct to company recruiters.
"I was looking for the most direct way to reach decision makers at the companies," Lukas told Thrillest. "I thought, that I might fail competing only on 'resume' level with other candidates that have work experience in San Francisco."
It's a strategy that's certainly paid off, with recruiters posting about his smart idea on social media.
Brilliant. Somebody give this guy a medal, or at least a job already.

model Kia Rio has been specially developed for the Russian market.Its production started in August 2011 and since then the popularity of this model has been growing steadily.Buyers are attracted relatively low cost of this modern sedan, combined with a well-established high quality of Korean cars.
Initially cars of this model were collected on a Hyundai plant in St. Petersburg.At one time, the Kia Rio is also produced at the plant LuAZ in Ukraine, but soon the production was stopped.Enumerating the country where collected Kia Rio, is also called to countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Iran, India, Vietnam, China, Ecuador, and, of course, she and South Korea.
Kia Sportage
Kia Sporteydzh - model, ideal for Russian roads.High ground clearance, stability on the road, the possibility of buying a car with four-wheel drive - all this and more allows you to comfortably travel by car is not only in the city, but also outside it.If you plan to travel by car only in the city and not to use four-wheel drive, you get a stylish and modern crossover, at the wheel which will organically look like a young fragile girl and a solid adult male.
Kia Sporteydzh collected in Russia, Slovakia and some other countries.Many motorists will be pleasantly surprised to learn that among the countries that collect Kia sporteydzh present Germany, which is known for top quality in the automotive industry.
Kia Sorento
Kia Sorento - another company crossover.Although largely Sporteydzh Kia and Kia Sorento are similar, the latter much more Sporteydzha in size, has a higher ground clearance, large wheels and a rich selection of additional features.Hence, the difference in price.
Among the countries where collected Kia Sorento, still leading Russia and South Korea.In addition, this model is also produced in factories in Turkey and Slovakia.
Kia Ceed
Chia Seed - compact city car of a golf class.In Europe, the car is not very common because of the large competition in this segment, but in Russia it is highly demanded.
This model is collected in Slovakia, Kazakhstan, and there is only one plant in Russia, where the seed was collected Kia - a Kaliningrad "Autotor".

Recently I was stopped while leading a volunteer team in Ravenswood Local Nature Reserve about a report that a local resident had made to the police.
One evening within the past month someone had been seen shooting wood pigeons on the reserve. The incident was reported to police and the resident was asked if he was knew if the landowner had granted permission. … read more
Summer is here! It's time to unpack the sunshine, get the deckchairs out and relax in Cumbernauld's Mediterranean-climate. Or, as is more often the case, get out the waterproofs and scuba gear and have a soggy barbeque!
We have enjoyed a good spell of warm dry weather over the last few weeks and the town's green spaces have burst into life as a result. It's been a great boost for invertebrates and we've had some great sightings of bumblebees and butterflies. … read more
The Cumbernauld Living Landscape team have been hard at work recently working with volunteers to make improvements to Ravenswood Local Nature Reserve. Part of this job has involved digging up some of the garden escape plants that have found their way onto the site and replacing them with native wildflowers.
We had hoped that some of the plants we removed could have been donated to volunteers and local charities, however while we were digging we made a very unpleasant discovery - New Zealand Flatworms. … read more
Sometimes projects can take a few years to plan. Planning for our current project at Ravenswood Local Nature Reserve began way back in 2014 and was the original basis of The Conservation Volunteer Community Engagement trainee-ship post. However things happen, groups disband, ideas sometimes get put on hold and other priorities come to the fore, but these ideas are never quashed. … read more
A couple of weeks ago I was writing about the necessities of cutting down trees and the many reasons for doing so. This week I am going to look a bit deeper into the structure of a woodland and why it is vitally important to have a range of trees at different ages as part of the healthy woodlands being planned in Cumbernauld Living Landscape.
Sanctuary Scotland came out with us recently on a Natural Connections workshop at St Maurice's pond to discover how the towns young people are connecting with nature. Funding from Sanctuary Scotland has helped purchase tools and PPE for Students which will enable them to continue the legacy of Natural Connections. … read more
For most people conservation is about planting trees or creating wildflower meadows and they would be mostly correct. But looking after the health of our woodlands and greenspaces also means that every now and then we cut down and remove trees.
Vandalism, fire, disease, non-native trees, structural safety and storm damage are the main reasons for the removal of a tree.

Although many people in the United States have access to the best oral health care in the world, millions of people cannot get even basic dental care. Low-income persons, racial or ethnic minorities, pregnant women, older adults, people with special needs and people living in rural communities have a much harder time accessing a dental provider than do other groups of Americans. Although tooth decay is almost completely preventable, when people do not see a dental provider, they cannot access the preventive services, early diagnosis, and interventions needed to halt or slow the progression of most dental diseases. Untreated dental/periodontal disease not only leads to pain, infection, and tooth loss, studies now show that oral disease is related to premature death, long-term disability, and contributes to an increased risk for serious medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and poor birth outcomes (DHHS, 2000).
(read more)
Clearly, results from these studies have not yet been broadly distributed nor widely understood. For many people, oral health problems start when they are young and worsen over time. One quarter of children ages 2-5 and one half of those 12-15 have tooth decay; in fact, dental caries (cavities) are the most common chronic disease of childhood affecting almost 60% of all children ages 5 to 17. In contrast to the growing awareness about children's oral health needs, the oral health needs of older adults in the U.S. have received relatively little attention and almost no public health or public policy interventions. As people age they continue to be plagued by oral health problems; in fact, in the U.S. today, only 28 percent of older adults (ages 65-74) and only 17% of those ≥75 have dental coverage. This results in the following: 1 in 4 adults over 65 have lost all of their teeth, 23 percent of 65- to 74-year-olds have severe periodontal disease.
Because studies indicate that good dental care is linked to reduced overall healthcare costs, Aetna Health Insurance – the second largest private insurer in the U.S. –has integrated enhanced dental coverage as a key component of its primary care coverage plan (DMI 2006); however, Medicare has yet to cover routine dental services for Americans over the age of 65. By 2030, 1 in 5 Californians will be age 65 or older and increasingly diverse in terms of race/ethnicity, financial resources, and living conditions. More efforts are needed in California to highlight the interrelationship between oral health and serious medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and other diseases resulting in tooth loss related co-morbidities.

Planning a pregnancy? Here are the pointers to help you prepare
If you want to improve your chances of conceiving, start with these lifestyle changes:
- AVOID ALCOHOL: Alcohol disrupts the hormonal balance of the female reproductive system; increases risk of early miscarriage and may even cause abnormalities in the baby.
- QUIT SMOKING: Cigarettes contain toxic substances that are harmful to the ovaries and egg development.
- BALANCED DIET: It is crucial to eat a healthy balanced diet supplying at least five servings of fruit and vegetables per day, which are a source of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and antioxidants. Avoid foods high in fat and sugar. Take folic acid supplement. Start the dose at least a month before trying to conceive.
- CAFFEINE: Cut back on caffeine. Studies show that caffeine reduces a women's success rate in conception. Besides tea and coffee, energy drinks and colas too contain large amounts of caffeine.
- EXERCISE: Regular exercise can boost fertility, especially if you are overweight, by improving insulin resistance and glucose control especially in women with polycystic ovaries.
- . WEIGHT: A BMI of 19-25 is considered to be within the normal range. Being overweight or underweight can affect your chances. Obesity disrupts ovulation and fertility by causing hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance among other things, especially in women with polycystic ovaries. Women who are underweight often have problems with ovulation and periods may stop completely .
- MEDICATIONS: Some medicines can decrease fertility , so inform your doctor or specialist that you are trying for a baby when you are prescribed any medicine. If you are on long term medication, your doctor may prescribe an alternative, that doesn't impact fertility .
- MANAGE STRESS: Stress may have an effect on natural conception, for example by preventing ovulation or reducing the frequency of the intercourse.
- CHECK OVERALL HEALTH: Go for counselling and see a specialist if you are on any regular prescription or family hereditary of genetic disorders before planning pregnancy . If you are in the reproductive age group and not conceived after trying for a year, or are over 36-years-old, you will need to seek help. The same goes for those who have a known history (tuberculosis, extensive abdominal surgery etc..) or known cause of infertility , such as PCOS.

In the world of Altadas, there are no more human births. The Regime is replacing the unborn with demons, while the Resistance is trying to destroy a drug called Hope that the demons need to survive.
Between these two warring factions lies Jacob, a man who profits from smuggling contraceptive amulets into the city of Blackout. He cares little about the Great Iron War, but a chance capture, and an even more accidental rescue, embroils him in a plot to starve the Regime from power.
When Hope is an enemy, Jacob finds it harder than he thought to remain indifferent. When the Resistance opts to field its experimental landship, the Hopebreaker, the world may find that one victory does not win a war.

Food for the mind. AWESOME!!
One of the main things I take into consideration when picking out an audio book is the narrator. What is his/her voice like? How does it make me feel? Do they read a script or do they actually breathe life into the written word? It has no bearing if this book is outstanding if the person reading it sounds like one of my high school English teachers. In this case, I liked out. I got a fabulous storyline AND narrative.
There are so many things that I liked that make it impossible to single out any one thing. Each chapter had a "best" moment. But I'm glad that there are sequels, that the story lives on, that the fantasy doesn't have to end when the narrator utters that last word.
A bit easier to answer, my favorite scene is actually TWO scenes. Jacob's harrowing exodus from Blackout and the decimation of the Regime's Hope factory.
YES, DEFINITELY! But unfortunately I had to settle with stolen moments. I started my day with coffee & HOPEBREAKER, snatched a spare moment or two throughout the day, and ended my day with a cup of herbal tea & HOPEBREAKER.
I had the privilege of reading HOPEBREAKER prior to listening to the audio version, so I already knew the storyline, had preconceived ideas about the characters - what they might look like, their character, etc. But actually having someone read the book to me added an almost magical element to it. The story came alive in my mind. I was able to relive every moment in more detail. And rather than two dimensional physical descriptions of the characters, my mind's eye gave them real faces. The faces of people I'd seen in film or in real life. I always saw Jacob resembling a shaggy haired Chris Pratt. Taberah looked amazingly similar to a fiery Jennifer Lawrence. And suddenly, as the narrator detailed the appearance & mannerisms of Teller, my mind envisioned my pizza delivery guy. Sometimes, everything in the world seems to come between me and my favorite books, but there's little that can keep me from listening. And that's the big bonus with narration.

Does anyone have any sample images from that setup? Based on the threads regarding the CGO3+....I'm assuming the CGO3 would produce better quality images? Also, what about the ST10 transmitter...would that be compatible with the ST16 for the purpose of being the secondary controller for the CGO3+ or would it have to be at least the ST12 or ST16?

Closed. Closed awhile ago. This won't let me out till I write 50 characters. This place is closed. It had a great patio. I hope someone puts in a great Italian restaurant.
Just at the end of town, good for the price and the food was not overly salty like at most places. I would get their pizza again

Pretty good pizza. The pepperoni is pretty spicy, but the flavors are right on the mark. We have met family there several times and enjoyed our lunch in the dining room. This is not a 5star restaurant so don't have high expectations. It is clean,...More
We hit Sisters and Smell sage, and juniper, all we think of is pizza this place is the answer! Must stop
This is a must stop pizza place. I am sure their other items are good but we always get the pizza when we are in town.
So if you don't have a humungous hunger and a stretchy stomach, get the mini. I loved their Greek salad and mini Gourmet pizza.
We really liked the excellent pizza and beer. Nice atmosphere as well.
Small, eclectic, great staff, good pizza. The patio is very sweet with lots of plants and fanned air and water to mist in the summer.
There were 7 of us that ate here. The food seemed good, but 4 of us came down with gastrointestinal upset within 2 hrs. of eating here. Nice outside eating area.
