"The skill and precision with which Butler delineates the phases of the Faust tradition is no less impressive than the elegant magnanimity which she displays in judging the great as well as that host of minor poets whose labors equally testify to the inexhaustible fascination of 'the conflict between religion and rationalism as to the ultimate fate of the Faustian spirit, the desire for infinite knowledge.'" -- Yale Review
This work is a powerful and astute examination of the connection between magic in literature and magic in history. It traces the evolution of the Faust tradition and its relationship to the practice of magic in European history. Written by one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of German literature, this book, first published in 1952, is a classic text. Butler follows the magic tradition of the Magus -- the priest-king -- and its reformulation in the Christian world. In the process, the Magus was transformed into a wicked sorcerer who comes to a bad end in this world and a worse one hereafter. This conception, which gained ground in the Middle Ages, received its most categorical statement in the Faust legend.
The celebrated pact between Faust and the devil was in fact an invention of Christian mythologists who had interpreted occult rituals in accordance with the Christian belief that magicians were the servants of Satan. Occultists replied by denying the pact with the devil and by associating Faust with ritual magic traditions. Butler draws on her detailed knowledge of literature, religion, and history to produce an authoritative synthesis that all those interested in the development of mythology will find indispensable.

Best Female Rappers
The Top Ten
Firstly, every one of her songs is original and different yet always great. Secondly she has never had any beef with any one. Thirdly she is one of the most influential woman in the world.
Finally I can't see y'all disrespect Lil Kim like that, even diddy said she will always be queen, one of the greats, her legacy is huge and no one can argue with facts like that. End of. Kim and Missy will be Queens 4 life
All people have their own stories, but going through a rough life, including the way she was raised, and also some issues with medical problems, she is a warrior and a rapper. And who can resist "Work It", "Get your Freak On", and "Pass That Dutch"? Also her beginning hit... "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" I mean, I really do love the other female rappers on this list, but, when I look on my player, Missy Elliot is the female rapper who I have the most songs from!
Awesome rapper! B est ever female rapper in the world! Better than all of the girls here. Number 1.
I like yoy so muchV 74 Comments
There are no question here to who's the best. Sure Kim might not have been the first. But that doesn't take away from the fact that she completely changed the game of hip hop. Kim made both genders equal with lyrics. She never tried to cover or censor her music. She never needed some fake persona. Everything she's done has been real and legitimate. She's never needed to be fake. And while her net worth isn't the highest and she hasn't been top ten on the billboards for a while, that will never change the fact that she made a BREAKTHROUGH in hip hop history. As a fan of many other women in the genre, there's no doubt that Kim definitely made one of the, if not the largest impacts of all time in rap music. That's why she will forever be the number one female MC.
How is this #2 behind Nicki Minaj? Lil Kim is easily the Queen of Rap, Nicki is just in it for the attention. Nicki has like, what, one half-decent song? And she's not rap, she's teeniebopper "hip-pop". Lil Kim is real rap and she's been going strong for years. Get Lil Kim to #1 on this list!
The Queen of Hip Hop next to biggie the king of Hip Hop
Why isn't Young M.A. on this list?V 123 Comments
The girl is sick. Great voice, great style, great flow. And she goes so hard.
What is up with the rest of this list? Half of them aren't even rappers, and the other half suck.
Hard to make a top ten list out of female rappers, but here is the top 5:
1. Nicki Minaj
2. MC Lyte
3. Lil Kim (who I might have put at 2 if I hadn't just been listening to MC Lyte)
4. Lauryn Hill
5. Eve (had to show her love cause she's underrated)
Honorable mention to Trina
Nicki Minaj is beast! Shes beautiful AND talented. Her rap is a new style of rap, more unique, and hidden meaningful I suppose. Rock on Nicki I'm supporting you all the way!
Best flow, rhymes that make you think, EXTREMELY versatile with her music, and she knows how to get people's attention. All the endorsements and gigs and movies she's been in are examples of what a good businesswoman she is. She's #1 for a reason. What makes people the BEST is how they appeal to the public, and Nicki is killing it with her appeal, which is why she is the most successful female in the game. How good her songs are are based off public opinion, and according to public opinion, she is destroying everyone else and it is reflected on her net worth. Nicki Minaj IS #1. Anyone else who disagrees can look at the numbers because numbers don't lie.
No, she's s terrible.V 735 Comments
How is Nicki Minaj above Lauryn Hill. Lauryn created one of the best albums of all time with "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill". She's won so money Grammies and had so many big hits as a solo artist and with the Fugees. What's Nicki Minaj famous for? Showing her entire butt on an album cover, making terrible, meaningless music, and having more artificial substances in her than a candy bar. Choosing a talentless hack over a hardworking legitimate musician is one of the worst things I can think of.
Lauryn Hill is one of the best rappers altogether. She is right up there with the men and better (Seriously) than most. She is on BIG/ Pac's level. When I listen or look at Nicki Minaj I feel like I'm being punked by the music industry.
In terms of being the best "rapper", not entertainer, artist, etc., Lauryn Hill hands down. Her lyrical complexity, wordplay, rhyme scheme are on a completely different level than the other women mentioned. Plus, as showcased well on "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" she tackled topics completely unique to the female perspective, (rather than recycling topics male rappers have already beat to death).
I have never seen Nicki Minaj or Cardi B come close to the illustration the Lauryn could display. Lauryn could tackle difficult topics over effortless and complex flow.
Sure, Nicki and Cardi are great entertainers, their billboard numbers prove it. But in terms of being the best RAPPER, it's Lauryn Hill. It's always been Lauryn.
I mean she'll always be the bestV 67 Comments
Eve is the realest! Should be number 1! Her songs aren't just catchy and booty shaker- they're inspirational too- love is blind, life is hard, make it out this town, never gone.. A talented, inspirational and truly humble artist!
This is the best rapper. Nicki Minaj is nothing compared to this queen of rap. She should be number one. If you've heard "Let me blow ya mind", you know what real rap is. Nicki Minaj doesn't even know how to rap. Like who the hell comes up with "starships are meant to fly". What does that even mean. In conclusion, EVE should be at the top of the list. And Iggy should just stay at the bottom. First things first you suck. Eve is the best.
Mixing her hotness and gangster lifestyle am sure she deserved to be one among the rappers in this world. I can't compare her to Miss Eliot so I thought she got luck to be the 5th. - Tin_ze_dash
Eve should be top 3 with Lil Kim & Missy. Her style & flow are sick top5 should be
1. Lil Kim
2. Eve
3. Missy Elliot
4. Lauryn Hill
5. Lisa 'left eye' Lopez
6. Foxy Brown
7. Trina
8.Remy Ma
9. Iggy Azalea
10. Nicki Minaj
Left Eye is the best. She rapped from the heart and didn't have to show off her body to sell albums. RIP Left Eye we love and miss you! TLC4eva!
! She should be on top of the list... Well she was cute and got this kind of rapping that anyone can dig. She was another doll I can say - Tin_ze_dash
Left Eye IS the truest rapper out here, she is WAY better than Minaj, even though her stuff is dope, Lisa always represented those girls who didn't always want to reveal their bodies and wanted to be independent. Nicki's stuff is okay but her raps don't talk about the big issues today. Lisa's Legacy STILL lives on through Tboz and Chili, that is why Left Eye deserves top spot!
She is beautiful( I'll give her that). - TarareignV 40 Comments
When I think of Women and Rap together, a mere 101% of the time I think of Queen Latifah...
Queen Latifah's old school raps were amazing, while Nicki just plain sucks.
She's good one of her shows that I saw was Living Single
YesV 19 Comments
Come on, she just know to speak, not rap..
This list is terrible. Iggy is not even in my top 25 - anewman
Rappers only people! - Melvin_BigSmoke_Harris
She is so amazing,can't wait for her big comeback.V 204 Comments
Nicki Minaj? Seriously, how could you possibly place someone else than MC Lyte or Lauryn Hill on top of the list? People need to start listening to real rap, not commercial crap.
MC Lyte at 10? Nicki Minaj at 2? Are you kidding me? MC Lyte is the best female rapper ever, followed by Lauryn Hill and Queen Latifah. Only those 3 deserve the title "Queen of Rap". Nicki Minaj started her career in 2004 and I've never even heard of Kolera. Lyte raps about real stuff, unlike most of today's mainstream "rappers". Lyte as a Rock was a classic. REAL Hip-Hop. Stuff that has meaning.
she's realest among female rappers, BIG UP!
Why is Nicki Minaj #1? MC Lyte deserves to be #1. - jameshowardV 35 Comments
Broken silence is the best female rap album ever released. A world where Nicki Minaj is voted as the best is a world where people don't know REAL hip hop
Foxy is so under-rated for her to be so far down on this list. Lyrically she has flow, she can ride the hell out of a beat. True she used sex appeal on her video and album covers to help sells, but what's the difference between any male rapper using females in the same prospective to do the same thing back then. Her style was fresh and real.
Foxy always kept it real and that's what I admired about her. Foxy always kept business separate from personal life and never let her rivalry's slow her down. People may have their favorite album by her but what ever she does will always been my favorite.
Foxy Brown is someone who I call an extremely underrated rapper everyone likes modern rappers but not many people have heard of Foxy Brown who is not only the best female rapper but the best rapper of all time love you Foxy 😘V 13 Comments
The Contenders
I'm not saying Missing In Action is the best female rapper of all time, but I can say she's the best female rapper of this generation. Why? Because she doesn't rap about being fancy, she doesn't rap about having a big ass, she doesn't rap about having a lot of money, and she isn't all the time rapping about love.
M.I.A. raps about REAL stuff. She raps about identity politics, poverty, revolution, gender and sexual stereotypes, war. She raps about REAL problems. She's a TRUE artist, and doesn't need neither a cute face nor a big behind to express what she wants to say.
Additionally, she's a philanthropist and an activist.
You don't see that kind of people everyday;))
She should definitely be in the top of the list! She is so much better than some of the others that have been mentioned. Her songs definitely have better beat, better lyrics, better distinction, better quality. She even talks about worldly problems in some of her songs... I guess mainstream pop culture takes over, but she is capable of fulfilling that as well.
Are you kidding me she should be top ten she rides beats better than any other rapper in the world
I only remember like one SONg shE did - The_gEEK_GamEr9V 18 Comments
If she could ever pull it together long enough and keep her mouth closed. She could go far
Azealia Banks is literally one of the most creative artists in the music industry. Her flows are sick, her voice is beautiful, and THE BEATS! What really makes her stand apart is her amazing ear for great beats. I hope she has a very long career. Go Yung Rapunxel!
She's just great. I would love to see her get to the top. She can easily beat any of the other female rappers out there. Just my opinion.
I wish she could stop what she is doing and focus on her music.Her music is really good,But with an attitude like that,You wont go far!V 27 Comments
She should be bottom on the list or not at all. She doesn't even write her songs. For real?
Better than most of the people above her on this list
Cardi B is the best female rapper right now she may even be the best rapper in the rapping industry
Best rapper everV 50 Comments
She's under rated she's the most consistent she's very humble She's really the only female rapper From the 90's That never left the game she was consistent And have been consistent and still is consistent She's the baddest chick She hated on a lot...Hip hop has cheated her out A lot of awards that I feel like she deserved She's a legend in the game She is the one and only official Queen of the South Hate it or love it She has been holding the south down for a long time Ti is the king of the south and Trina is the Queen of the South... She's independent artist now she's on her own self Is called Rockstar music group... She has a cosmetic line perfume line A clothing line She's going to be featured in a movie coming to theaters soon... So I would say trina is most definitely my favorite female rapper of all time...
This lady is serious with rap and always stay to the beat, she is the best rapper, she will never go off beat.
I'm going by the numbers Trina has been the most consistent female rapper of all time so she should be number one she gives us the most music constantly. Pushing albums like bricks every time you turn around.
You should see her without makeupV 23 Comments
Amazing rapper she should be in top 10 at least.
Snow should be at least in the top ten. Wake Ya Game Up! & youtube her you won't regret it I promise!
Snow the Product by far best female rapper. No matter how fast she raps you can actually understand what she is saying.. #Nicki minaj sucks!
The Great! Very GoodV 32 Comments
She is only 16, just started singing. She got a talent and have a bright future ahead.
You are the best Becky g I love your rapping you are amazing!
I love Becky G!
You're awesome Becky! You should be #1!V 20 Comments
FERGIE IS A LEGEND! She has the best rhymes. Her song's Pedestal, Clumsy, London Bridge and Fergalicious. Also she is amazing in the Black Eyed Peas and she can sing for a long time without Stopping. She's like the queen of all Music, no joke
You are joking right? How is she in this list? She has terrible flow. - SelfDestruct
Fertile is the most diverse rapper/singer ever. She hit extraordinarily high notes (and low notes for that matter) she never runs out of breath and rap insanely fast. She has AMAZING flow. This is one of THE talents of our generation. AMAZING. SHE IS TIMELESS.
Fergie can do anything with her voice and she is so perfect, she can rap really fast (as Eminem) for a long time without losing breath, this girl is amazing! - Onefor21
Disgusting songs, and besides, she barely raps anymore - benjigooV 21 Comments
I am an educator and listen to rap music specifically to relate to my students. I can connect to Remy Ma because her flow is effortless and her intelligence is evident by the way she connects her ideas. Her bars are very different in every song and she seems to be able to captivate listeners with her ability to make you think, reflect and relate. Without a beat you can still listen to Remy Ma. She is my all time favorite.
Remy ma is a true connoisseur of rap because her flow and delivery is tight, just like how rap should be not some candy floss hit makers around nowadays. Give her a few more years and she could be on the list of one of the best ever female rappers like Lil Kim and Missy.
This list is idiotic. Remy Ma and Missy Elliot are the only people I see on the front page with actual talent and flow. I mean, Nicki Minaj as number 1? Seriously?

Kesha you are amazing! I don't think you should be all the way at number 22 I think you should be battling it out with nicki manaj or winning her love you X
I like her the best because of her ways of girl rapping. My favorite song by her is Take It Off
Kesha you are my best girl rapper in the world... I think Nikki minaj is only no1 woman rapper in the history.. But in my mind you are the best and number 1 girl rapper in the world... I love your song so much... My favorite song is tiktok
She is awesome but she don't rap I'm not saying she bad though I listen to half of her album.V 13 Comments
Listen to her verse on any Three Six Mafia song or simply listen to Yelawolf - Throw It Up and you will see how dope she is
This girl should be in the top 15
A true lyricist who came up to became to be a rapper!
Amy Heidemann should definitely be top! She rapped Busta's verse like mad, without cursing?! Trust me, this IS talent! Nicki Minaj is nothing compared to her.
She slays all these rappers she Should be number 1
Hear 'I Told You So'. Your argument is invalid.
QVEEN HERBY. 'Nough Said. She needs to be higher on this list- it's outdated.V 2 Comments
Hands down. She's more than "rough and tough with afro puffs. " Her style is slick and her verses are sick. She also has out done her male counterparts in various collabos. Check out "Unf*ckwitable" or her verse in "Batman and Robin" with Snoop Dogg. Or her verse in "You know my Steez" with Kurupt and Gangstarr. Lady of Rage is the Goddess of War and she will destroy your favorite female emcee. -
Beast.. Obviously one of the best female rapper of all time. She has a raw style and is old school. Nicki Minaj? Please.. 1. Lady Of Rage..
One and only a "great" female rapper ever

I love rico
One of the hardest and doesn't try too hard to compete with male rapping counterparts, she's just naturally that good! She also has an effective way of projecting her personality in her lyrics
Insane lyrics, great showmanship and an effective way of projecting her personality in her tracks. One of the few hard femcees who doesn't try too hard to compete with male talents. She is a natural, but doesn't get enough media coverage because she's in yhe UK
Because she is very flexable and after body party it just everything she does is good her and nicki manaj are my idols
Ciara is my baby.
Come on her parents are amazing and her brothers a hottie. Even though she doesn't have great style at least she believes in herself. I'm the future Mrs. Smith by the way
Willow is only famous because of her dad who is a great rapper. And by the way I was listening to "Gettin Jiggy With It" when I passed This song lol
Why is she so low? She's amazing for her age!
She is ok she still need a lot of singing to do okV 2 Comments
She is amazing she is a role model to me she should be in the top ten
She is AMAZING her songs are humourous and original and she is queen. she is able to show that confidence is not a bad thing she can't be so low
SHE'S SO AMAZING, HER LYRICS ARE SO FUNNY FOR EXAMPLE 'CHANGE YOUR PANTIES' AND 'BRUSH YOUR TEETH' SHE ALWAYS KNOWS HOW TO MALE OEOPLE LAUGH, ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS HAVE FUN...SHE SHOULD definitely BE AT THE TOP 10!
Shante should at least be in the top ten she birthed female emcees

I love Rita Ora she is wonderful
Rita ora can you give me your number and add me on fb
She is the best female rapper. Her mic skill is so high. I like better than nicki minaj.
No doubt in my mind this girl is the baddest female rapper known to man kind.
I love cl! I am a major fan! Her and nicki minaj have inspired me to become the next best female rapper! Too bad I have quite a few years of school left... But that won't stop me! Those years will help me understand music even more! Thank you so much for your motivation and inspiration, I will keep on trying! I will be a fan for life! Love the next best female rapper... Jrnj (my intials) yes... I have two middle names... Bye!
HELLO EVERYONEV 21 Comments
OKAY. T NOT BEING THE FIRST ON THE LIST IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE. T is the queen of rap. She can take anyone at any time. Bitch please, Nicki is nothing to her(though I do acknowledge that Minaj is great and deserves her place in top-10). But NO-ONE can beat T. The sight of seeing everyone else but T on this list is making me sick. Even CL is here? Awh, come on! You gotta be kidding me... Tasha might not have a huge-ass fanbase like CL or Nicki, but she is the beast no doubt about it. The fact that some people vote CL or even Fergie as THE BEST... It's unbelievable. Tasha is a raw rapper, she doesn't need to fake anything. - minttuleppu00e4nen
Drunker Tiger & Yoon Mi-Rae: Monster.. This is all I have to say... Shes too good boost her up people

Digga can outrap most if not all the others on the list, she can even outrap some male rappers too. I say she deserves a spot in the top 5
How can you not love Rah Digga? First Lady of the Flipmode Squad, successful in her own right? She's got skills that are rival to Missy Elliot and MC Lyte if you ask me - but then you've got kids nowadays listening to the trash of Trina, Fergie and Nicki Minaj. All that party rap has its own place, but Rah, Missy, Lauryn Hill -- all the female rappers of yesteryear will remain the best; always, always the best.
What is she here! She should be up there with kim and missy. I didn't even know nicki garbage was even called rap.
This is another one that should be in the top 10V 2 Comments
Amazing flow, amazing artistry, amazing personality - I adore her.
I'm always looking forward to her mixtapes
She's such an amazing rapper, and can also actually sing too. I can't believe how fast she raps, especially in "I told you so"
Amy should be ranked higher than this. She can rap fast if given the opportunity. She at least deserves top 15. She is better than Fergie. Let them battle Amy will prove it.
Fastest female rapper in the world people!
My fave!V 6 Comments
The fact that Nicki Minaj has the most votes shows how people don't know real hip-hop anymore, Jean Grae would kill most other MCs, male or females
More technical than most male rappers today! It's actually a little scary how lyrical she is and I genuinely think that Jean's a more technical rapper than Eminem. Bold statement but true and it's actually offensive how Jean's 20th and Nicki's first.
her flow can murder any female rapper out there. - DJ_critikaL
Jean is the truth. NOT one of the best female MCs. One of the best MCs. Period. Full stop.V 2 Comments
Why is she here
I think she's the best among all
Best rapper, not famous with her booty but with her skills.
Diamond is the best female rapper

The vehicle 50 depicted schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a zero turn vehicle using the two motor assemblies 10 as wheel motors to drive a pair of wheels 58. In FIG. 2, only one motor assembly 10 is shown for clarity. Vehicle 50 is powered by aprime mover such as engine 54, which drives pulley 59 through engine output shaft 61. A pair of pumps 52 are mounted on vehicle frame 51 in some known manner. Pump input shafts 53 are driven by pulleys 57 engaged to a belt 56 which are in turn drivenby engine pulley 59. Pumps 52 are preferably of the axial piston design such as the Hydro-Gear BDP-10A, but other pump designs could also be used herewith. Hoses 62A and 62B are used to connect pumps 52 to inlets 16A and 16B of motor assembly 10. Reservoir 55 and optional oil cooler 60 are also connected to pumps 52 through a plurality of hoses 63 and 64 in the manner shown. Other arrangements could be used depending on factors such as vehicle size.
As is known in the art during operation of vehicle 50, one of hoses 62A or 62B will be under high pressure, and the other will be under low pressure or vacuum pressure, depending on the direction of actuation of pump 52, and this can be changedto change the speed and direction of output axle 34.
FIGS. 3-6 show a first embodiment of the motor assembly of this invention. In this embodiment, the external casing or housing for the assembly 10 comprises axle housing 1, motor housing 2 and the external surfaces of ring gear 23 and port block15. A plurality of bolts 14 are used to secure axle housing 1 to motor housing 2, thus sandwiching the other elements between them. Port block 15, which may also be referred to as a port plate, may include a plurality of tabs 33 to aid in alignment andorientation with motor housing 2 during assembly. Ring gear 23 may also include a plurality of tabs 43 to aid in alignment of ring gear 23 with axle housing 1 and port block 15 during assembly.
An axial piston style hydrostatic motor 8 is mounted in motor housing 2; motor 8 comprises a plurality of pistons 5 and corresponding springs 4 and thrust washers 6 mounted in rotatable cylinder block 3. While the preferred embodiment isdepicted as an axial piston motor, other styles of hydraulic motors could be used within this invention. In this embodiment, pistons engage thrust bearing 7 which in turn is mounted in motor housing 2. Pistons 5 are of the spherically-shaped nose, andare often referred to as "bull pistons." Motor cylinder block 3 is rotatably mounted on a running surface 12 formed on port block 15 and drives motor output shaft 13. Bearings 9A and 9B, which are preferably needle bearings, are used to support motorshaft 13 within motor housing 2 and port block 15, respectively. A pair of hydraulic ports 29A and 29B are formed in port block 15 to hydraulically connect motor cylinder block 3 with inlets 16A and 16B through kidneys. Port block 15 includes at leasttwo inlets 16A and 16B and an opening 32 to permit motor shaft 13 to pass therethrough. As is known, the rotational speed and direction of motor shaft 13 will depend on the input to inlets 16A and 16B. Port block 15 is preferably made of cast iron,although other materials such as aluminum or the use of a separate valve plate would also be acceptable.
This invention uses a dual planetary reduction system, although it will be understood that other gear reduction systems could be used in the spirit of the invention. Carrier pins 18 are mounted in primary planet carrier 19, and planet gears 17are mounted on their respective pins 18. As is known in the art, washers 26A and 26B and O-rings 24 are used as needed; FIG. 3 depicts various other retaining rings, springs and the like that would be typical in such an assembly.
Motor shaft 13 has a gear form 27 integrally formed thereon; it will be understood that this gear form 27 could also be a separate gear fixed to shaft 13. Gear form 27 engages and drives primary planet gears 17, which in turn cause rotation ofcarrier plate 19. Sun gear 20 is engaged to the inner teeth of carrier plate 19 and transfers the rotational force through to secondary planet gears 21, which in turn are mounted on pins 40 mounted on secondary carrier 22.
As noted above, ring gear 23 also functions as part of the overall external housing for motor assembly 10 and provides an internal running surface for primary planet gears 17 and secondary planet gears 21. Port block 15 can also serve as part ofthe external housing, as port block 15 and ring gear 23 are sandwiched between axle housing 1 and motor housing 2. This arrangement, while not necessary to use the invention, reduces the amount of materials needed and the overall costs of the unit. Thesize of axle housing 1 and/or motor housing 2 could be increased to mount these elements internally.
Axle shaft 34 is supported in axle housing 1 by means of a needle bearing 28 and ball bearing 38 and is drivingly mated to secondary planet carrier 22. Thus, the rotational torque of motor shaft 13 is increased through the two sets of planetarygears 17 and 21.
It is understood that the shape of port block 15 is not essential, although there are benefits to the shape shown in FIGS. 3-6, such as reduced cost, as noted herein. This element can also be referred to as a center section, end cap, plate orthe like. A first drain passage 44 permits oil to flow from inside motor housing 2 to ring gear 23 and the rest of the assembly. A second drain passage 46 is also formed in port block 15 and permits oil to drain from the system through case drain 48formed in motor housing 2. Hose 64 connects case drain 48 to reservoir 55 by way of optional oil cooler 60.
An alternative embodiment of the port plate is shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, which shows port block 115 including optional pressure relief valves 35A and 35B, and wherein identical reference numerals indicate structure that is identical orsubstantially identical to that described for other embodiments. This feature is optionally used with the other features disclosed herein, or on its own. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, port block 115 includes a pair of pressure relief valves 35 mounted inhydraulic ports 29A and 29B, respectively, and opposite to inlets 16A and 16B. The embodiment would also include drain passages, such as drain passage 146. The relief valve 35 described herein is designed to close slowly after opening; it will beunderstood by one of skill in the art that other relief valve designs can be used in this design.
Pressure relief valve 35A, which can be identical to valve 35B, is shown in more detail in FIGS. 12 and 13. FIGS. 10 and 11 show valves 35A and 35B schematically to avoid confusion caused by the differing cross-sectional perspectives.
Pressure relief ports 39A, 399B, 41A and 41B are formed in port block 115. Looking at FIG. 10, which is a cross-sectional view along the lines 3--3 in FIG. 7, it should first be noted that line 3--3 is not straight, but rather breaks to passthrough the center of both ports 41A and 41B, as port 411 is slightly offset higher than port 41A in the end view shown in FIG. 7. When hydraulic port 29A and kidney 30A are under high pressure, hydraulic port 29B and kidney 30B are under low pressure,and the oil pressure in port 29A causes valve 35A to open. The rate at which valve 35A opens and closes can be set through design changes such as the spring constant of spring 71 and the diameters of bore 76 and bleed orifice 78.
When valve 35A opens, oil will flow from port 29A into relief port 41B, and then to relief port 41A and on to low pressure kidney 30B. As can be seen in FIG. 11, the same dampening action will occur when port 29B and kidney 30B are under highpressure, as valve to connect port 29B to relief ports 39A and 39B, and then to low pressure kidney 30A. This pressure relief acts to dampen the response of motor cylinder block 3 to sudden increases in pressure in the system to smooth out operation ofthe vehicle; placing the relief valves in the motor port block 115 instead of in the pump increases their effectiveness, as the dampening is moved closer to the ultimate output of the system, ie., axle shaft 34.
As shown most clearly in FIG. 13, one of the valves 35A or 35B, designated here as valve 35, consists of a valve body 66 which uses an O-ring 73 to prevent leakage out of the system. Spring 71 is mounted in bore 67 of valve body 66, and engagesouter plunger or cylinder 68. A center piston 72, which has an inner bore 76, is mounted in inner bore 70 of outer cylinder 68. Ball 69 is pressed into inner bore 70 at one end thereof. A separate seat 74 is pressed into hydraulic port 29 to ameasured depth, or to a stop formed therein, and includes an opening 75 formed therein. Seat 74 could also be integrally formed with block 115. Ball 69 could be replaced by other shapes or a functionally equivalent feature could be integrally formed inouter cylinder 68.
Valve 35 is shown in the closed position in FIG. 13. As the oil pressure outside seat 74 increases, oil will flow through seat opening 75 into bore 76 of piston 72. The force of piston 72 against ball 69 will move cylinder 68 in the axialdirection away from seat 74 compressing spring 71, thus opening valve 35 and permitting high pressure oil to pass into the bypass porting as described above. Oil will also pass through bleed orifice 78 to the area 77 adjacent ball 69 inside bore 70. Asthe oil pressure in area 77 increases, it increases pressure on piston 72, forcing piston 72 to move axially away from ball 69 to the point where it again engages seat 74 and closes valve 35.
Another benefit of this invention is that the design taught herein enables the user to locate neutral valves in the motor port block for applications where such valves may be desired. Neutral valves are known in hydraulic applications butgenerally have been located in hydraulic pumps or, in an integrated hydrostatic transmission, in the center section connecting the pump and the motor. FIG. 17 shows another embodiment of this invention, similar to that shown in FIG. 8, where neutralvalves 81 are mounted in port plate 215; except as described herein, other elements of port plate 215 can be identical to those of port plate 115 described with regard to FIG. 8.
Neutral valves 81 may be generally identical in construction and are mounted in hydraulic ports 229A and 229B. In the position shown, oil passes through passages 79 formed in valves 81 to openings 82 formed in ports 29A and 29B, to permit thehydraulic oil to drain to case. As system pressure in ports 229A and 229B increases, the valves will close.
It is often desirable, though not necessary, to include a brake on such a motor. A first brake design is shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, where a brake cam 31 and puck 42 are mounted inside port block 15. Handle 36 is secured to cam 31 and may berotated by means of an actuation mechanism (not shown). Puck 42 has a first, disengaged, position as shown in FIG. 6. Rotation of cam 31 will cause puck 42 to move against and engage brake rotor 37, which is drivingly attached to output shaft 13, whichin turn will force stator 25 against the end of ring gear 23 to brake the gear train. Spacer 45 fits around the outer diameter of brake rotor 37 and is used to prevent brake stator 25 from being pushed into rotor 37 and thus port block 15 when the brakeis disengaged.
Further embodiments of the brake mechanism are shown in FIGS. 14-16. For example, FIGS. 14 and 15 show motor assembly 90 having a motor shaft 92 extending out of motor housing 95 and having a cog 94 secured thereto and which rotates with motorshaft 92 and has a plurality of teeth 94A and openings 94B. Handle 96 is actuated to engage cog 94 through the use of tab 97. Handle 96 is of a horseshoe design and rotates about the base 96A about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axes ofmotor shaft 92 or axle 93. A tab or other similar structure 96B is formed at the top thereof (or the side opposite the axis of rotation) to engage an actuation mechanism (not shown) to rotate the horseshoe handle 96 from the disengaged position, asshown in FIG. 14, to an engaged position where tab 97 is engaged with one of the openings 94B of cog 94, thus providing braking of motor shaft 92. FIG. 14 also shows case drain 148 located in port block 315, positioned on a side away from the inlets 16Aand 16B. Another embodiment of this configuration would have case drain 148 positioned on the port block 315 on the opposite side from inlets 16A and 16B.
A further embodiment of the brake mechanism is shown in FIG. 16, which also has cog 94 mounted on motor shaft 92. The size and shape of cog 94, and its teeth 94A and openings 94B, will depend to a great extent on the size of the assembly,intended loads and similar factors, and may be adjusted accordingly. In FIG. 16, motor housing 85 is shaped to receive an optional cup-shaped cover 86, which may be secured thereto through screws 87 or similar means to bracket 84. A T-bar handle 88having an engagement member 88A is mounted in bracket 84 and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 88B from the disengaged position shown in FIG. 16 to the engaged position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 16. Cap 86 acts to locate T-bar handle 88, andgasket 83 and grommets 89 act to seal cap 86 from the outside environment.
The engagement of T-bar handle 88 to cog 94 provides braking force to motor shaft 92 and thus brakes the entire assembly. T-bar handle 88 is rotated into or out of the engaged position through an actuation mechanism (not shown) which wouldattach to the ends of T-bar handle 88. Other known actuation mechanisms could be used depending on the layout of the vehicle or other application where the assembly is to be used.
It is further envisioned that a spring (not shown) may be provided to maintain the engagement of handle 96 or handle 88, and the aforementioned brake actuation mechanism would thus act to disengage the brake to allow vehicle movement.
A further benefit of the design shown in FIG. 15 is that axle shaft 93 in this embodiment also extends to and is supported by motor shaft 92, through bearing 98. This shaft design is an optional feature and can be used with the brake designshown in FIG. 15 or any of the other embodiments described herein.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of thedisclosure. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the invention which is to be given the full breadth of the appended claims and any equivalent thereof.

all i kept thinking last sunday was "why am i suddenly craving a burger and cheese fries like my life depends on it" and "how come i can smell like a blood hound?" these few odd circumstances led me take the infamous test on a whim. no way it could be positive, right? might as well calm my nerves so i could stop doing the thing every girl does every month, freaking out that they are preggo.
you don't want to mess around with the + and - test. once some lines show up you freak out "omg what does 2 lines and a vertical pink line mean?!" i got the clear, no BS ones. so when it flashed back at me and said "pregnant," it was a crystal clear realization. my face got hot, i was shaking and sweating, and literally said "oh.my.god" to my collection of necklaces in the bathroom.
i knew this wasn't something i could hold from jay and think of a creative way to tell him in a few days. i tell him everything, and i wanted him in on the news asap. jay was "sharking" our floors downstairs, i sneakily wrapped the tests and approached him downstairs. he was mad i was all over the wet floors but i unplugged the shark after some protesting and forced him to sit down. he said "i'm sharking the floors, what could possibly be more important than finishing that right now?" i tried not to burst out laughing and just said calmly said "i guarantee this is more important." as he opened it, i have never seen a human being's eyes bug out more in my life. it was just about the goofiest expression i've seen on his face, bugged out eyes and a smile that could have wrapped around his head. a lot of hugging and "oh my gods" happened in the few minutes after.
i hope this blog of our experience helps me to capture moments like these, in such detail so that i won't let this amazing journey pass without documenting it. there have already been so many thoughts racing through my brain and researching done this week that i need to post one at a time!

Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type.
Memory foam consists mainly of polyurethane as well as additional chemicals increasing its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as "viscoelastic" polyurethane foam, or low-resilience polyurethane foam (LRPu). Higher-density memory foam softens in reaction to body heat, allowing it to mold to a warm body in a few minutes. Newer foams may recover more quickly to their original shape.[1]
A mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body, used as a bed or as part of a bed. Mattresses may consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam rubber, etc., or a framework of metal springs.[1] Mattresses may also be filled with air[1] or water.

The Little Piece of Crumpled Silver Paper
John Weaver 2000
Her room is not the sort of room you'd quite expect to find, for a little girl whose love of life is clear, no toys or games or bats or balls, or fun things of that kind, no bicycle or skateboard will appear...
But the little piece of crumpled silver paper
Her room is cheerful and bright with pictures everywhere, a pump to feed her through the night and a big adapted chair. Though pretty dolls sit on the shelf and teddies on her bed, she cannot play with them herself so she holds them tight instead...
And the little piece of crumpled silver paper
It was Christmas day some years ago with excitement in the air, when we opened her presents and then found, that she couldn't play with them and it didn't seem quite fair, that she would always be so cruelly bound, to a life without the toys that all children adore, and then we heard a new sound that meant so much more...
A crackle from the little piece of crumpled silver paper
The expensive gifts didn't matter to this special little girl, her joy came from quite another caper, as the parcels and the packaging slowly started to unfurl, all she wanted was the silver wrapping paper.
You see, she could grasp it tight to make a funny noise instead, and so it fast became a dear friend and she holds it close beside her even when she goes to bed, and the lesson to be learned is, in the end…
That happiness is not always found in gifts so big and costly, and often simple things can bring the joy you need, that contentment is a state of mind and the choice is yours mostly, to be content with what you've got and with every little deed...or, to always be in want and never satisfied.
And so for me the real belief will never taper, that the truth of life is clear and very closely tied...
To the little piece of crumpled silver paper.
What Right Has She Got To Be Happy?
John Weaver 2004
'What right has she got to be happy' said a friend to me one day, with people at war and wanting and suffering in every way?
What right has she got to be happy, with taxes as high as the sky and with the cost of living still rising, why is she so happy, why?
What right has she got to be happy, when the weather's so miserably bleak, when the sun shines for a day and then goes away and it's wet for the rest of the week?
What right has she got to be happy, when she can't walk or talk or see; why is she smiling so brightly, it's truly a mystery to me?
What right have you got to be moaning? Came my eventual reply. You should be glad to be fit and able, be grateful, don't decry.
What right have you got to be moaning? Just look at her and you'll see, that the only reason she's happy is...she's simply decided to be!
Wishes In The Dark
Sometimes when she's sleeping in my mind's eye I can see, the little girl I thought I had but who was not to be.
Sometimes when she's sleeping, hands folded by her cheek, I close my eyes and visualise a child who can speak.
Sometimes when she's sleeping she seems so whole and well, I can't believe she won't awaken with dreams of which to tell.
Sometimes when she's sleeping and my tears begin to flow, I'll steal a kiss there in the dark and wonder if she'll know.
Sometimes when she's sleeping, my eyes ache with tears unshed, and I pray that she is full of peace as she slumbers in her bed.
Sometimes when she's sleeping I can almost hear her say 'I love you mummy with all my heart, each and every day.'
But always when she's sleeping I am filled with pride, at the miracle that is my little girl and the perfection that's inside.
-Lisa Esmond (for Abby)
The Dream
John Weaver 2001
Whenever I dream of my little girl she runs and shouts and plays, like all the other children in all their boisterous ways.
I see her skip, I see her trip; I hear her laugh and cry, then when she's had her fun, home she'll run and into my arms she'll fly.
With a great big hug and a teasing tug, she'll cuddle me close and say 'Daddy I love you heaps and heaps' in her cheeky little way.
Whenever I dream of my little girl, she's healthy, fit and well, with eyes alight and a smile so bright it's really hard to tell, that my dream is a wish and a longing, a hope for something new; for her life to be one that is normal and able-bodied too.
But then I awake and I have to forsake my dream for what is true, that she cannot walk and she cannot talk like the other children do; that she cannot shout and skip about and cuddle me close and say, the things she desperately wants to, yet in her own special way…
Instead she talks to me with her eyes and reassures me with her smile, that all is well and I can tell that she's happy all the while, knowing that one day in some magical way, we'll play together and scheme, and sing and shout and skip about…in an everlasting dream.

We grumble. We ache. We silently complain. We wish things get better. We dream of better things. We are constant self naggers. We don't accept what we have. We refuse to believe. We refuse to have patience. We get dejected. We fall into deep emotional pits. We complain about life. We try to avoid all the falls!
We behave like an OCD maniac who tip-toes on the street to avoid a fall. We are tiptoeing in our life. What difference would it make to bruise a knee, fall face down, break a leg, see your trust shattered into million pieces, face shut doors, reach dead ends, and take wrong turns or miss something? NOTHING!
It is not about looking for the best in everything. That is honestly wishful thinking. There are dark areas, there are pain points. There are things that will make you roll into a ball and cry. The point I am trying to make here is- good things happen. Bad things happen. We Learn. Unlearn. Relearn. Or don't learn. What ever we do- Life goes on. Good things happen. Bad things Happen. Poof!
End of story.

text: Alexandrov spaces (with curvature bounded below) are metric generalizations of complete Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower sectional curvature bound. They appear naturally in Riemannian metric, for example, as orbit spaces of isometric actions on compact Riemannian manifolds or as Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of compact Riemannian n-manifolds with sectional curvature uniformly bounded below. In addition to their intrinsic intereset, Alexandrov spaces play an important role in global Riemannian geometry. In this lecture series I will cover the basics of Alexandrov geometry and present some of its applications to Riemannian geometry.

The BBC drama To Walk Invisible, written and directed by Sally Wainwright, used several locations at Shibden Hall. Red Productions filmed on site for three days in June 2016.
The drama tells the story of the three Brontë sisters from Haworth and their battle for recognition for their work and was aired on BBC One on the 29th December 2016.
Some of the costumes can be seen on display at Shibden during 2018. Find out more.
Shibden Hall was used as the location to represent the Devonshire Arms, where the coach would arrive into town. It was shown in a few different scenes. Firstly as Branwell heads into Halifax to visit his friend the stone mason, then as Anne and Charlotte head down to meet their publishers in London and also when Ellen Nussey arrives to visit the sisters. The surface of the courtyard was recovered and the modern railings and any modern features were covered over or hidden.
Blacksmith's Forge
The forge was transformed into a stone mason's workshop and was used in a short scene where a messenger boy ran in to summons a friend of Branwell's to come and help.
The Study and Kitchen
The shot then followed the friend as he entered the pub to find Branwell and showed Shibden's kitchen, passageway and the study, which had been emptied and set as a pub parlour. He finds Branwell distraught at the news he is no longer allowed to see the woman he loves.
The Buttery
This formed the location of another pub and saw Branwell seated at the fire place reading his poem before condemning his words to the fire.
Crispin Inn
The Crispin Inn at Shibden received a coat of paint but was largely unchanged and used for a scene with Branwell Brontë and Joe Leyland. The scene opens with them leaning on the bar as a horse and rider pass by the door.

So if you follow me on twitter you may have noticed the other day that I posted a photo of myself getting a tattoo. I decided to do a post about them because I get a lot of people asking about them which I think is because a lot of people are surprised that I have any, let alone 8! Tattoos are one of those things that people either love or hate I think. I never really wanted one and was kind of against them when I was younger, mainly because I just never really saw the point of having something permanent put on your body for everyone to see. I still don't really like tattoos on arms/necks/faces/legs just because I personally wouldn't ever want one that was always on show. I always think about what it would look like if I was wearing a really nice outfit or if I was going for a job interview etc. I don't know why I think about things like that, but the thought of wearing a really lovely dress only to be annoyed that my tattoo doesn't go with it is a bit frustrating for me! I mean, I hate it when my nail polish doesn't match my outfit, but that's an easy one to fix at least, tattoos not so much! I also quite like the fact that people don't see mine unless I really want them too....which is possibly a bit funny considering I'm willing to put them all over my blog! I was actually thinking about getting one on my thigh, but I put a lovely temporary Spiderman tattoo on the spot I was thinking about (don't ask where I got that...) and I actually really didn't like it. I didn't mind the placement as at least I could see it, but all I could think about is how crap it would look if I ever wanted to wear sexy underwear again! Imagine if I had lovely stockings and suspenders on (please don't vomit at that thought! Haha!)....and then just had this penguin tattoo (from a kids book no less!) hanging out on my thigh....mmmm...sexy!! Haha!
I got my first one about 7/8 months ago I think (I can't actually remember!) when I was basically having a bit of a mental break down and wanted to change myself and have a reminder of it too... I dyed my hair, shaved off half of it and got a tattoo. It was one that I had drawn myself about 3 years ago and every time I looked at it, I always smiled. What better way to cheer myself up then by getting that permanently etched on myself to remind me of a time when I didn't think I'd get through to my 25th birthday?! Haha! It was a really cathartic experience that sort of woke me up to what the hell I was going through and kind of made me feel like maybe I needed more help than I realised. I know that probably sounds weird but it was almost like a wake up call to show me that this was something I'd been thinking about for a while and I had finally done it....so why wasn't I doing the other stuff I needed to do....frankly stuff that was far more important than getting more tattoos... Once I'd vaguely started to get myself sorted I decided to get two more to finish the collection I had already started, which I will always have as a reminder that I was strong enough to make a decision about needing help. The most recent ones are for the start of my new self. I know it sounds reeeeeeallly lame to say that but it's something that kind of reminds me why I'm doing this and also it'll always make me think about how I can change and for it to be for the better too. I may be putting too much thought into why I got my tattoos and stuff but it's one of those things where I'm bored of being the girl who was too afraid to do or say things that she really wanted too. I spent so much time bottling things up and it's gotten me nowhere really, so why not try and change some aspects that I would like to change, without giving up the fundamentals that make me who I am.
Anyway, enough with the deep chat and on to the pictures! Now then, there are a lot of pictures here...and they do contain pictures of my feet, the actual tattoos being done and some blood too...This is fair warning so that no one complains ok?? (Also I apologise for my feet in advance...they're a bit weird...and by that what I mean is, my second toe is longer than my first and it's weird right?!)
So here are my feet after getting the first one on my toe and the second one on the outside of my left ankle. I decided at this point to ask if I could take photos to blog about. The girl who was doing my tattoos, Stella, is absolutely lovely and has done all my tattoos. I really like her and the way she'll give advice whilst also listening to what you want too. She was also really nice about the whole blogging thing, which was a nice surprise as it's the first time I've ever actually asked anyone if I can take photos for for blog purposes. I was expecting her to say no for some reason but she was really lovely about it and asked me loads of questions about it too which was nice! However, I had not prepared for blogging so my nails aren't all nicely painted or anything, making the pictures a bit more gross for you guys!!
Here's a far away shot of the dinosaur that has been placed on my ankle. They do this by printing it out then using alcohol spray and pressing the paper on to it. Instant temporary tattoo!
Odd shot of my freshly done cat tattoo. You can see it's pretty red round the edges! I don't find tattoos particularly painful, I find it to be more of an irritation. I know it sounds ridiculous but because I've self harmed for 10 years, I have a fairly high pain threshold or can at least stand prolonged pain for longer than some people, which means that to me tattoos aren't very painful but are more annoying if that makes any sense? I mean, if I stub my little toe on a table leg, that is still really painful but because tattoos are more prolonged, I don't find them to be painful, just uncomfortable. The blob of clear stuff you can see on the cat's body by the way, which I'm still not 100% sure what it's for to be honest!
Shot of Stella working on one of my penguins!
After doing the outline. The mess is from where she wipes the excess away. Looks pretty right?!
Just after it's been finished and cleaned up.
This just shows how much blood there is after a smallish tattoo! At one point I had to ask for a tissue as there was actually a little drip running down my ankle....lovely! (Drip can be seen forming in the top right bit of the balloon!) It's a few days later and it's pretty itchy now where it's healing up nicely.
This one shows the importance of tattoo placement. The first one towards the top of the picture is where Stella first placed it, but I wasn't 100% sold on the placement. After looking in the mirror I wasn't happy with it as it was too far over on to the top of my foot. So I got Stella to place it further round and she agreed that it would look better there too - very handy to be able to change you mind before getting it etched on to you for life!
The debate we had before doing this one was if I wanted the blue round the outside or not. I obviously decided to go with the blue and was very happy with it....although it was a mess of colour to start with as you can see! The placing of this tattoo also meant that this one actually hurt like a motherfucker!! It was the only one that I've had where I actually thought about stopping her, but I knew that if she did it would be worse when she went back in again. The curse of having very bony ankles!
Shot of Stella colouring in the blue.
She had the original colour designs next to her so she could work from them, which is always handy!
Close up colour shot. I was in a small world of pain at this point, making all those weird faces you make when trying to persevere with the pain to get it over with!
This is to show what an awkward position I had to be in for the last tattoo! I actually got cramp in my leg at one point!
One final shot to show you the odd angle the Stella had to work at for me.
A shot of my nightly routine for a few days...clingfilm round my ankles and round my big toe. A layer of bepanthen under the clingfilm to help the open wounds heal. It's not the loveliest site in the morning....all tattoos are slightly slimy and need a nice gentle washing....before being cling filmed up again.
And so on with the tattoos! The first 5 are all still very fresh - these were taken the day after getting them so please ignore redness and shininess. I might post better pictures once they are healed if I remember!
Cat - Outside left ankle.
Penguin from Up and Down by Oliver Jeffers - Inside left ankle.
Penguin from Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers - Big toe left foot. This one might be my favourite because it's so cute!
Superman Logo - Inside right ankle. This is the one that Stella said I might need to get touched up once it has healed as it had quite a bit of colouring done to it.
Dinosaur that my friend drew for me - Outside right ankle. This one actually looks better already today and it's only a day after this picture was taken. You can see the eyes and claws a lot better today so it's healing well clearly!
And as a bonus here are the other tattoos!
Superman Stickman - Under left boob... This was the first tattoo I got and the one drawing I've ever done that I really really liked! His hair is my favourite bit. I was tempted to get the cape coloured in red but I quite like it as just the outline I think.
Clark Kent Stickman - Under right boob. Apologies for the angle of this one....have you ever tried to take a picture of something that's underneath your boob without getting obscene with the pictures?? It's pretty difficult!
Kryptonite Crystals - On the right side of my back about halfway down - Photo is a bit odd as I took this myself....which is pretty difficult to do! This one was the most relaxing tattoo I have had done so far. I could've fallen asleep! However, it was also the most difficult to take care of as it's not exactly easy to put cream and clingfilm on your back in an awkward place isn't exactly easy! My Mum was very helpful with this one I must say! I think I would have preferred this one without the bit at the bottom but it looked so weird without it. I'm really pleased with the shading on this one as I only gave her the black outline that one of the guys had drawn for me at the shop. The shading was all Stella and I'm really pleased with how well she did!
So there are all my tattoos so far. I already have an idea of the next one I'd get if I decide to get another one, but I'm not sure if I will or not at the moment. I think the fact that I don't want any on show will hinder where I can put my tattoos, which means I won't ever get a full body suit going on or anything! But I'm happy with what I've had done so far and I will only ever get tattoos when I'm sure of what I want.
So what do you guys think of my tattoos? Do any of you have any at all or would you be tempted to get one (or more?!)? Or do you not like them at all? Hope you're all having a good weekend and haven't been grossed out too much by my feet! Haha!
Until next time,
