Keeping Track of it All

At each wharf, crates are unloaded and tagged with the Fisher's ID number; a barcode is also placed on each crate, so we can trace from which Fisher the catch was purchased. The crate is weighed and scanned so we can record the data into our system. This data tells us who the Fisher is, the weight of each crate from the catch, as well as the time and date, and the area in which it was caught. All of this information is recorded to a receipt and a copy of the receipt is printed for the Fisher. Our scanning system and traceability procedure ensures that both Lobsters ’R’ Us and the Fishers have knowledge of, and accountability for, each and every catch.

We bring lobster into our plant by crate; each crate is weighed and scanned which records the Fishers’ exact catch for that day. Any catch issues are identified and immediately recorded into our database via barcode and a Quality Assurance (QA) Report. Individual QA Reports are provided to the Fishers on a weekly basis; that way, both Lobsters ‘R’ Us and the Fishers are knowledgeable about the quality of their catches.

Scanning and traceability is vital in order for us to provide the freshest and highest grade product to our clients. We know where the lobster is at all times – from sorting and grading, to storage and shipment, and to its final destination.

Our traceability program gives Lobsters ‘R’ Us, and the local Fishers, complete accountability for our product and a guarantee that they will remain in pristine condition - from the time they are lifted out of the sea, to the moment they reach the table.

Lockheed Martin Statement on Onset of Government Shutdown

We are disappointed that a budget agreement was not reached, forcing a partial shutdown of the U.S. Government. This shutdown negatively impacts hundreds of ongoing government programs and thousands of our employees across the U.S. The shutdown could result in costly schedule delays and breaks in production that will increase overall program costs and interrupt the delivery of critical equipment to our U.S. government customers.

We have deployed contingency plans to minimize the impact to our employees affected by the shutdown. The specific impact to our workforce and subcontractors is dependent on individual contract terms. We’ll await direction from our government customers in order to assess the impact on our employees, programs and business. We will continue to work closely with our customers to support essential programs and mitigate the impact to programs suspended during the shutdown.

Les Paul Gold Top Copy

Repair LoG Les Paul Gold top copy SN: xxxxxxxxx ‘Made in U.S.A’ actually made in China

14/08/17 Copyright reserved Terry Relph-Knight

Supplied fitted with a set of 0.009, 0.010, 0.016, 0.023, 0.030, 0.040 strings ? With a black hard case branded ‘Gibson USA’.

Value – £90?? Weight – 3.2kg. 7.054lbs.

This guitar is not a re-branded knock off, rather it is a fake, as it attempts to look like a genuine Gibson gold top Les Paul. On a cursory glance from a few feet away it is surprisingly convincing. The owner did not tell me how much he paid for it, but it was obviously not a lot of money. As delivered this guitar had not been carefully assembled or set up. The interesting thing is that, once the various problems had been fixed and the set up adjusted, it became a really fun guitar to play. It felt and sounded good and had a charm all its own. Initially this was a rush job as the owner wanted the basic problem with the output jack fixed before leaving the country for a few weeks.

Repair Log, issue 2, – Les Paul Gold top copy SN: xxxxxxxxx ‘Made in U.S.A’ actually made in China

Body – Made of mystery wood, certainly not mahogany, hard to tell how many pieces (one join line is visible at the edge of the body). The exposed wood surfaces inside the guitar are quite pale – it could be poplar or pawlonia. Overall the guitar is very light weight for a ‘Les Paul’. Gold top with cream binding on the top edge. Back and sides in a very dark red translucent finish. The back of the guitar appears to have a mahogany like veneer across it to disguise any joins in the body pieces

The carved top is almost certainly two or more separate pieces Carving / sanding is a little crude in places – there is a gap under the top edge of the bridge pickup.

Neck –  Also mystery wood. Cream binding on a quite black fretboard, again of mystery wood, but has the appearance of something between ebony and rosewood (possibly black dyed). 22 flatish jumbo frets. Quite sharp fret ends. Moto flared parallelogram fret markers.

The serial number and the Made in U.S.A have been laser cut down to the wood through the finish. A technique that Gibson has never used. The headstock is not quite the right shape, it is too narrow. It does have the ‘Gibson’ logo inlaid on the headstock in abalone shell and Les Paul model in the gold script (actually does not look quite gold, it is more of a dull yellow). Very crudely cut and too small truss rod ‘bell’ cover with Les Paul STANDARD roughly hot stamped in silver. Moulded plastic nut, obviously not Corian.

Hardware – Crude copies of the Gibson Deluxe / Kluson tuners with rather grey ‘green’ plastic tulip head buttons. Spacing and fitting of these tuners is quite sloppy. Two open top black bobbin humbucker pickups with flush steel poles in each pickup (no adjustment screw poles) and probably ceramic magnets. Chrome plated copy of a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge with chromed zinc saddles. Bridge posts are 6mm with slotted screw heads. Chrome plated stop bar – screwed down as far as it will go to the body. Gold bell knobs. Rather yellow moulded plastic elevated pick guard.

No internal screening paint or screened cables. Very crude disc around the pickup switch with RHYTHM and TREBLE seemingly dyed in to the surface. Strap buttons have a very shallow flare.

Problems – A wire to the output jack has snapped. The jack socket itself was loose and had probably rotated, snapping the very flimsy connection wire.

The low E and the G tuners are loose on their attachment screws. The tuner post push in ferrule for the G string is loose in its hole.

Generally sharp fret ends.

With the strings removed was possible to see that the rear side of the plastic nut was quite rough where the strings slot had been hacked into it.

Last minute problems with high and low frets above the 12 fret.

Work done – Unsoldered the jack socket completely and cleaned up the solder tags. Fitted a toothed lock washer to the jack socket, tightened the retaining nut onto the jack plate and then dabbed on some clear nail varnish to the nut and threads on the outside to inhibit future loosening. Cut back re-stripped and tinned the connecting wire and re-soldered the connections to the jack socket. Screwed the jack and its plate back onto the body.

Plugged in the guitar to check for proper function and playability.

Second phase of work done – Hammered down the high threaded bridge insert, so it is at least flush with the top of the guitar. Removed the two loose tuners, plugged the over large screw holes with toothpicks and superglue. Glued in the loose G ferrule with a dab of super glue and refitted the tuners. Cleaned and polished the fret board and frets, including smoothing down the fret ends.

Rubbed down the rough spots on the nut and cleaned up the string slots with nut files and then ‘flossed’ them with the old strings coated in metal polish to polish the string slots.

Converted the existing stop bar bolts into a ‘poor man’s’ locking system by cutting off the bolt collars with a mini-hacksaw and supporting the stop bar on a stack of steel washers (instead of a neater looking Faber spacer).

Re-strung with the D’Addario NYXL 10 to 46s. Set up the action and set the intonation.

Fret problems – hammered down and smoothed various high frets above the 12th. At first G 15 was high then D has 15 low and 16 high. String buzz on the D string only at the 15th fret.

Third phase – 29/11/17 Filed and polished frets 16 and 17 so all the frets in that area read level. Changed the D string, which I had damaged in my haste to hammer down fret 15, and was still buzzing even with the frets levelled.

Diagnostics – All the electronics in this guitar are of low quality and the wiring is rather elementary. The control potentiometers are the small 16mm diameter case types and the pickup switch is the low quality ‘box’ type rather than a leaf spring switch.

The bridge is set up at an angle with the bass side higher than the treble (9mm bass and 6.5mm treble – from underside of the bridge end to the top surface of the body). The treble side thread insert has not been pressed all the way into the body, it sits about 1mm proud of the surface.

Tuners have quite a lot of backlash in the gears (the tuner on the D string in particular).

On closer examination while re-stringing the low E and the G tuners are loose on their attachment screws (the two small screws that fit through the tuner ears on the back of the headstock). This is because at least one of each pair of screws isn’t threaded into wood – they are just spinning in an over large hole and the press in ferrule on the G string tuner is loose and will just fall out. Loose tuners do not help with tuning stability. Tuner spacing is quite irregular, particularly for the high E tuner which is spaced away from the other tuners.

The stop bar bolts are rather short – only 18mm to the lower collar.

Intonation as delivered

In this test (with the old strings) each string is tuned exactly to pitch and then the pitch at the fretted twelfth fret is measured. The results are the error from the perfect octave, in cents.

E +5

A 0

D +18

G 0

B +3

E +2

Tuning stability

In this test, each string is tuned exactly to pitch and then the length of string between the tuner and the nut is depressed until it touches the headstock and then released. The figures are the change in pitch in cents following this test.

G +10

B +15

E +10

Intonation adjusted for zero error and tuning stability much improved after the nut slots were polished.

Improve the Look of Your Wood Fencing

Improve the Look of Your Wood Fencing

Posted on April 8, 2016 by Lone Star Fence & Construction

Installing wood fencing on your property doesn’t just help to add privacy and security, it can also improve your property’s curb appeal. While there are many types of fencing to choose from, many homeowners decide to go with wood fencing due to its naturally beautiful look. Wood not only tends to look great, it compliments any type of landscape on the property. Even though wood fencing is a great choice when it comes to adding to your curb appeal, there are still a number of ways that you can further improve your wood fencing’s aesthetics once you’ve had it installed. The following are a few ideas that you can use as inspiration to improve the look of your wood fencing and to further boost your property’s curb appeal.

1. Painting or Staining the Wood

Painting your fence is an easy way to introduce some color to your property. Doing so is fine if you’re okay with getting rid of what made the fence look natural, but in a lot of cases painting the fence can give your property a more finished and balanced look. For example, white is a popular choice due to the fact that it often compliments newer homes. If you want to keep a natural look, you could stain the fence to make it look like a different species of wood. Staining your fence is a great way to make the wood look more exotic, especially if the wood you used for your fencing is a more common species of wood. In addition to helping to improve the look of your wood fence, painting and staining the wood can also help provide it with an extra layer of protection against the elements. Just don’t skimp on the quality of the paint or stain you use, otherwise you’ll find yourself having to re-paint and re-stain the fence on a regular basis.

2. Installing a Top Cap or Trim

To add a bit of visual depth and interest to your fence, install a top cap or trim. This small decorative accent can go a long way to giving your fence a more elegant appearance and also gives it more of a finished look. Not to mention that adding a top cap or trim will help to protect the endgrains of your fence, thereby making it feel sturdier and helping to increase its longevity.

3. Adding Post Caps

If you want to make your fence stand out a bit more, you can add decorative post caps. These fencing features are a great way to add a bit of timeless style to your property’s fencing. There are plenty of different types of post caps to choose from in order to create the look that best compliments your fence and property, from high point post caps and plateau post caps to wood post caps and ball post caps, to name a few. If you want to go the extra yard, then consider installing lighted post caps. Lighted post caps typically come with bases in wood or metal along with post caps that are made of either metal or glass. You’ll be able to choose from a number of different lighting features and colors in order to add ambiance to your home while also improving your property’s safety.

4. Adding Post Trim Bases

Post trim bases work in the same way that post caps work. You can choose the same style of post trim bases as the post caps you are using in order to create a more uniform look for your fence, or you can go with a different style in order to create an aesthetic that’s a little more eclectic. Post trim bases will help make your wood fencing look more finished and can be sized to perfectly fit your wood fence, no matter how big or small the posts are.

5. Adding Plant Hangers

Even if you add top caps and post caps, wood fencing can still appear to be a little flat. This is especially true if it surrounds a large, flat yard. To keep it from looking a little too monotonous, consider using decorative plant hangers. Adding plant hangers to your fence will help improve the visual depth of your fence and will break up some of the monotony without the need to make big changes. Plant hangers will also help make your fence blend into your natural surroundings, and they can also help to cover up blemishes on the fence itself. Just make sure that you don’t hang too many plant hangers in the same space on your fence – otherwise you may be putting too much stress on the fence, which could cause damage over time. Make sure you spread the plant hangers out evenly so that their weight doesn’t cause issues over time.

6. Adding Lattice Work

A lattice is an interlacing of wood strips that can be an excellent way to add texture to a somewhat flat looking wood surface. If you’re a little bored with the look of your wood fence, adding a lattice overlay will certainly add another visual dimension to it. It’s also a great way to encourage the growth of vines up your fence, which will not only add yet another element of visual depth, but will also help integrate your fence more with your natural surroundings.

If adding lattice work to your entire fence seems like a little overkill – especially if you like how your fence looks without it, you can consider adding a lattice work top. A lattice work top can be built on the top of your existing fence. Not only will a lattice work top help add visual interest to your fence without changing its appearance, it won’t obstruct light or air from coming through.

These are just a few ways that you can improve the look of your wood fencing in order to not only boost your property’s curb appeal, but also to appease your own personal style. For more information about installing wood fencing onto your property, be sure to contact us at Lone Star Fencing today.

This allows the highest level of adaptation that a contact surface can achieve, thus stimulating blood circulation and relaxing muscles.

SEAREPA: Decentralise Me!

Renewable Energy campaigners share their triumphs and torments at the South East Asian Renewable Energy People’s Assembly.

Welcome to Day 2 of the People’s Assembly here in Sabah. Today, the participants are well into the workshop sessions, sitting on the floor, in corners and anywhere they can find to share their stories and solutions with each other.

But the discussions have already unfolded, and so many stories have already been told.

Yesterday, the People’s Assembly began with a Renewable Energy timeline, tracking the history of renewable energy across South East Asia.

A representative from Vietnam argued "In Vietnam, we have plenty of electricity but we still continue to build the dam. We have thousands of dams" but it seems they have no plans for the affected peoples.

At first, everyone seemed a bit nervous. But after a while, you couldn’t stop the hands from rising to the sky, everyone seeking a chance to give their two cents.

It began with Iskander from Indonesia, who described his fight for renewable energy from 1994, to his success in 1999, connecting a small micro-hydro project to the national grid.

We then heard from participants in Myanmar, who not only described the challenges of promoting and campaigning for renewable energy against Myanmar’s military junta, but also talked about contemporary success working with Myanmar’s transitional government. After decades of unregulated environmental exploitation, the transitional government recently formulated the nation’s first national environmental policy, and 3 weeks ago, the government invited environmental NGOs to discuss their recommendations with policy makers.

Can you imagine what that must have felt like? After decades of military oppression and aggression against any even alternative voices, now the government is slowly learning how to bring democratic processes to their environmental management.

Representatives from the Philippines talked about the success they have achieved in the southern island of Mindanao, installing 21 community based micro-hydro projects since 1993. But they also reflected on the challenges they face, especially competing with the contemporary bias of the government to promote big, mega, super and what could only be called gigantic development projects. Unfortunately, it also appears that this mega-mentality has even infected the renewable energy sector in the Philippines. As they described –

“there was a big geo-thermal project in Mindanao in 1996 that destroyed a significant amount of forest in a protected area – although they call it renewable energy –  it actually destroyed a lot of forest land.”

And even recently, they reflected  both praise and concern for the Renewable Energy Act, created in 2008. Apparently, while the act promotes renewable energy, the act favours big business as the central government still fails to see the benefit of community-based projects or policy.

Interestingly, this became a bit of a theme of the People’s Assembly.

An Indian representative described that across the Himalayan region of India, “we are fighting against 40-50 hydro-projects”. Indonesian representatives recalled stories of fighting against repetitive government plans to build a nuclear power plant in central Java. Bangladeshi reps described how their government has tried to corrupt local people to agree to new plans to develop coal-fired power plants and their plans for a new struggle against a proposed $5 billion, 2000 MW nuclear power plant planned over the next 6 years, thanks to Russian investors.

And June Rubis from SAVE Rivers said:

“In Sarawak, we are fighting to stop 12 mega-dams planned across our state. Currently we have two mega-dams and one more almost completed which have displaced thousands of Indigenous people. These mega dams are being built in the name of “green development”, but the  question now is development for whom. These affected communities are poorer than ever, and still awaiting the unfilled promises from the government. We fear the same fate for many other communities currently threatened by these plans. We need to stop all this greed before it’s too late.”

Almost every country representative reiterated this fear of and frustration of bureaucratic blindness, as governments across the region seem set on centralising not only political, but electrical power – be it ‘renewable’ or not. In either case, it seems that any ‘mega’ development results in a bad equation for affected communities.

As I was listening to these heartfelt stories of stress and success, I began to reflect on development across the region.

Many of these countries have undergone crazy political, economic and social transformations over the last 20 years. Many countries also seem to have transferred from food production to now seeking to become energy exporting countries competing within Asia and with the world.

This has also followed urban and technological transformations in many of these countries. But across Asia, the majority of people “still live in rural areas” and “still live in the dark”. Meanwhile, the governments of these nations are pushing ahead with visions of modernity that leave millions of people behind.

These visions of development are coloured with hyperbole and images of strength, focusing on not only centralising power, but developing this power further than the big development imaginations of the 20th Century, and into the ‘mega’ imaginations of the 21st.

But in reality, it is a vision made in direct competition not between governments, but between government departments plagued with an administrative and economic version of ‘penis envy’.

In this context, activists from across the region have sought to enable communities to create ‘micro-bridges’ connecting with the contemporary energy transformation covering South East Asia. These activists have operated on the small, micro and even pico-level, working with communities while their governments have been hell bent on chasing the title of Asia’s energy behemoth — like a dog pack chasing an robotic rabbit, not realising that their race is merely a betting match for corporate interests willing to make big bets on the best rates available.

Furthermore, these activists have carved out their work in highly contentious, often brutal political contexts such as Sarawak, Myanmar and Indonesia whereby governmental oversight does not just extend to centralised power generation, but to authoritarian power oppression.

In these contexts, these governments may certainly be characterised by their “abuse of power”, not only planning and implementing mega power generating projects that displace and relocate thousands of people, but never even intend to assist these people to achieve energy development.

Even more so, in these projects, governments have “opened the back door for transnational corporations. They are the corporate colonisers who come into our countries through the back door demanding cheap energy” for their aluminium smelters and stock profiles.

Yet, these pico-campaigners have indeed carved their mark in their nation’s energy trajectories, and in this regional context have fought hard not only on the ‘local’ scale to assist community development, but seeking to centralise the ideology of community development within their nation’s energy contexts.

It is a battle that at times may indeed progress like a “yo-yo”, or at other times may seem heart-breakingly impossible, but it is a struggle nonetheless that continues to carve its mark.

And this mark, like the mark of Zorro, may not indeed pierce through the heart of their nation’s development, but surely lives in infamy in the hearts of the communities they have fought for.

Communities who are now able to take advantage of small-scale, decentralised renewable energy.

Death for Elsie

Christopher Ricks

  • Found in the Street by Patricia Highsmith
    Heinemann, 277 pp, £9.95, April 1986, ISBN 0 434 33524 X
  • Private Papers by Margaret Forster
    Chatto, 214 pp, £8.95, February 1986, ISBN 0 7011 2987 5

Patricia Highsmith has been praised by Graham Greene in the good old way as ‘a writer who has created a world of her own’. She can be even better than that – when she takes a world and makes it not only her own but ours. She lurks in the murk where you have to peer to check if this is an – or the – underworld. In her seething city-settings, paranoia may be the saving of you, and yet paranoia does have, too, a hideously masochistic alluring power. She is the poet of these death-bearing pheromones of fear.

Found in the Street is her exact territory; she patrols these Greenwich Village streets as if from a neighbourhood vigilante force. Strangers on a powder-train. She knows crime well, especially in its intimacy with sin and with frustration; she watches for the selfish illiberality of paid-up progressives and for the malfeasances of the Watch Committee, for prurience and high-minded corruption. As a novelist she is herself placed in this grey area or combat zone: should the new Highsmith be sent for review to the supreme fiction people or to the crime squad? She capitalises candidly on these equivocations. Her studies of alienation are at once very literary and allusive and entirely untrammelled by fictive thickenings and alienation-effects. If she is more than admired by, actually is read by, highbrows, this is partly because there is just now a special relief in so unfurrowed a writer from ‘the underworld of letters’.

The phrase is T.S. Eliot’s. His breach between the underworld of letters and ‘serious writers’, even though he judged the former (like the music hall as against ‘serious’ theatre) to be the more healthy in many ways, is one which Highsmith’s art both concedes and does something to heal. Their cities, Eliot’s and hers, are weightily real and phantasmagorically unreal. ‘That subway smell was of old metal-on-metal, of oily dust moist with human breath, the semi-trapped air.’ Questions of reality are crucial to Highsmith, but – as to Eliot – they are spiritual questions, not philosophical ones: spiritual, and instinct with the spiritual’s fear of an alliance between erotic and economic forces. Elsie Tyler, the victim in Found in the Street (or the victim who, unlike the others, has a sudden dying, not a long day’s one), is dead-set for success, garish and enslaved, in the world of glossy modelling and of lip-service to art, an underworld of unreality which comes on as the overworld. Highsmith’s anger, dismay and pity at such a world, and particularly at what it does to human decision, choice, and therefore reality, are precipitated by the conditions which Eliot enunciated with grim lips, suggesting

that with the disappearance of the idea of Original Sin, with the disappearance of the idea of intense moral struggle, the human beings presented to us both in poetry and in prose fiction today, and more patently among the serious writers than in the underworld of letters, tend to become less and less real. It is in fact in moments of moral and spiritual struggle depending upon spiritual sanctions, rather than in those ‘bewildering minutes’ in which we are all very much alike, that men and women come nearest to being real. If you do away with this struggle, and maintain that by tolerance, benevolence, inoffensiveness and a redistribution or increase of purchasing power, combined with a devotion, on the part of an élite, to Art, the world will be as good as anyone could require, then you must expect human beings to become more and more vaporous.

Christopher Hitchens

Forster’s apparently evergreen remark, about choosing to betray your country rather than your friends, has always seemed to me to be – as well as an exercise in moral casuistry – the father and mother of a false antithesis. I mean to say, who ever is actually faced, or has been faced, with such a choice? In 1917 or thereabouts, Siegfried Sassoon confided to his friend Robert Graves that he was planning to ‘go public’, as a decorated front-line officer, with what he knew about real conditions on the Western Front. Graves had him put away for ‘shell-shock’, for his own good. That was certainly a betrayal of a friend and, I would argue, also a betrayal of the country. Kim Philby, who actually did set out to betray a country as well as a class, was also strikingly disloyal to his friends (though they, almost irrespective of politics, seem to have been loyal to him). In order for Forster’s Choice to come up in your own life, you must be able to plead that there is something tremendously the matter with either a. your country or b. your circle of friends. When Willy Brandt put on the uniform of a country that was fighting his own – the action for which the German conservatives never forgave him – he was not thinking: ‘Pity about my friends, but I feel I have to betray my country.’ Nor, if he had elected to betray his friends, could he have argued that he was doing his country much of a favour.

A third consideration may obtain. What if, as is generally the case, your country has its repulsive and attractive sides, and so do your friends, but there is something wrong with you? Some crucial bit of the moral or the rational animal that is, in your own case, simply lacking? Nobody would be the best judge in their own cause here, but I haven’t talked to anyone in the past week or so who doesn’t believe that this was and is true of Richard Gott.

I don’t say this with any sense or intention of accommodating to the prevailing wind, since Gott has disliked me intensely for more than twenty years and last January wrote a loopy letter to this journal, blaming James Fenton and myself for once queering his pitch at the New Statesman. ‘Effete onanist’ was one of the things he said about me. About himself he wrote with even more feeling: ‘In those days, I had no revolutionary ideology to sustain me, nothing but a simple belief that Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh, Mao Tse-tung and Agostinho Neto, were admirable men who had been doing interesting things.’ So I write this in no spirit of revenge. I couldn’t think any less of Gott than I already did, and he couldn’t make much more of an idiot of himself than he already had. Mao Tse-tung as humble land-reformer: the Guardian chronicler as blissed-out idealist with no axe to grind … that’s what the CIA and the neo-conservatives wanted you to say. (You don’t suppose for a moment that – no, forget it.) Worse still, Gott’s memory of these disputes is deficient, since the really bitter quarrel concerned not so much Angola or Vietnam but the Khmer Rouge, whose work James Fenton had observed at close quarters.

The Candidate of Beauty

Alexander Stille

  • Gabriele D’Annunzio: Defiant Archangel by John Woodhouse
    Oxford, 420 pp, £25.00, February 1998, ISBN 0 19 815945 5

Some writers are as interesting to read about as to read: writers such as Byron, Wilde, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and D.H. Lawrence, who saw their lives as extensions of their art and in many cases set out to shape their own time as well as to describe it in their work. Others, of similar ambition but more modest talent, defined their age as much through the defects of their work as its merits, and what they wrote increases in historical density as it loses literary freshness, becoming a kind of stratigraphic layer in an archaeological dig. The novels of Disraeli, Vita Sackville-West, Georges Sand and Jack London and the plays of Clifford Odets come to mind.

Gabriele D’Annunzio is now best known as a historical figure, as a dandy-poet in Fin-de-Siècle Rome, celebrated for his flamboyant, scandalous love-life and his nationalist posturing, the First World War poet-soldier who helped create the rhetoric and culture of Italian Fascism. Much of his work is virtually unreadable today, while an impressive body of lyric verse has been obscured by the behaviour that won him so much notoriety during his lifetime. A confusing tangle of literature, sex, politics and propaganda make him the absorbing subject of a fine new biography, Gabriele D’Annunzio: Defiant Archangel.

Perhaps immodestly, its author, John Woodhouse, who teaches Italian at Oxford, says in his Preface: ‘This is the first fully documented biography of Gabriele D’Annunzio in any language, and, within the limits of reason, given the bizarre nature of D’Annunzio’s career, the first objective appraisal of the man’ – which is a bit unfair. Philippe Jullian, a French expert on decadent literature, published a biography in 1971, which appeared in English in 1972. While Woodhouse may feel, with justice, that the earlier book lacks the scholarly rigour of his own, Jullian covers much of the same terrain, relies on many of the same sources and brings to the subject an attractive enthusiasm for and knowledge of the Decadent movement. Woodhouse is more dispassionate, but Jullian’s immersion in French and English Fin-de-Siècle literature does more to place D’Annunzio in an international context, while his own extravagant literary flair gives a D’Annunzian spirit to the book.

Woodhouse moves judiciously and discriminatingly through the life and career of a writer who has generally elicited feelings of wild adulation or passionate hatred. He gives considerable importance to D’Annunzio the writer, but does not flinch from the many repellent aspects of his character. ‘For most of his life,’ Woodhouse writes,

D’Annunzio’s sole concern was self-gratification and glory: to make hit existence as interesting and preferably as joyful as possible for himself, whatever the consequences for others; to create a work of art from his life and to immortalise it in words. There were, it is true, moments when nationalism or patriotism seemed important ... but more often than not the greater glory of his native land served only to throw into greater relief the lustre of his personal brand of glory.

D’Annunzio was born in 1863, in the Abruzzi, in the south-east of Italy. His father’s last name was originally Rapagnetta, but was changed to Rapagnetta-D’Annunzio when he was adopted by a maternal uncle. Gabriele dropped the more plebeian Rapagnetta at the start of his writing career.

Francesco Paolo, his father, was an intelligent but brutally egotistical man who drove his family into debt in order to maintain a series of mistresses and prostitutes. D’Annunzio believed that he had inherited the ‘corrupt seed’ of sensuality from his father, something he celebrated and vilified. In his early novel The Triumph of Death, he offered a horrifying portrait of the old sensualist:

Flesh, flesh, this brutish thing, full of veins, tendons, ligaments, glands, bones, full of instincts and needs; flesh, sweating and stinking; flesh becoming deformed, sick, covered in sores, callouses, wrinkles, pimples, warts, hairs. This brute thing, flesh thrived in him with a sort of impudence, producing in his delicate neighbour at table an impression almost of revulsion ... I, I am the son of this man!

The crude, isolated atmosphere of the Abruzzi was crucial to certain aspects of D’Annunzio’s formation. In the 19th century, it was an exceptionally poor, underdeveloped region, populated by an illiterate peasantry whose culture was dominated by pagan custom and rural superstition. His verse play La Figlia di Iorio, for example, was inspired by his recollection of a crowd of drunken peasants chasing a beautiful young woman through the village trying to rape her. This backward environment, with its tiny educated élite and a mass of half-starving farmers and fishermen, influenced his aristocratic, pseudo-Nietzschean vision of a world divided into masters and slaves. ‘Men will be divided into two races,’ he later wrote:

To the superior race, which shall have risen by die pure energy of its will, all shall be permitted; to die lower, nothing or very little. The greatest sum of well-being shall go to the privileged, whose personal nobility will make them worthy of all privileges. The plebeians remain slaves, condemned to suffer, as much in the shadow of ancient feudal towers. They will never feel at their shoulders the sense of liberty.

For all his aristocratic pretensions, the drive and aggression with which D’Annunzio set out to conquer the literary and social world of Rome in the 1880s reveals the insecurity of the parvenu and the provincial outsider anxious for recognition.

Part of what makes him a fascinating biographical subject is that, like Wilde, he was among the first artists to manipulate the new mass media in order to impose himself on a large international audience. (Byron was a prototype for the scandalous poet as literary star but lived before the telegraph and mass-circulation newspaper.) Already in 1879, at the age of 16, he had sent the newspapers a false report of his own death in order to publicise his first book of poems:

Jaime + Philip | Columbia Gorge Wedding | Bridal Veil Lakes

Jaime + Philip were married at Bridal Veil Lakes, surrounded by lush foliage, tall evergreens, waterfalls and a pristine lake. These amazing images were captured by Sarah Harrison Small

I love the summer glow that she captured in these bridal portraits! It was a pleasure working with Jaime to design her bridal bouquet [and a few other floral pieces for her wedding day]. I am obsessed with the color palette and all the textures we played with. From blueberries to seeded eucalyptus, to different types of protea, hydrangeas and garden roses! I love the finished product!

Walking for Herself and for Every Person Fighting

Jackie Brown, second from left, with her daughters.

Jackie Brown knows lupus. She’s been coping with it for the past 27 years. But the diagnosis came as a complete surprise.

“I was in the hospital for two weeks with a bad kidney infection,” she recalls. “The doctor had given me antibiotics and I ended up having an allergic reaction. I was in the middle of my youngest daughter’s second-year birthday party when I got extremely ill.”

After being diagnosed with lupus Jackie remained hospitalized. “I asked my husband to bring me everything written regarding lupus,” she says, “so that I could understand this disease and what symptoms I was going to incur.”

Over the years those symptoms have included impaired vision, migraine headaches, severe inflammation and pain in her arms and legs, kidney issues, skin discoloration, rashes and bruising. Today she’s experiencing side effects from taking a corticosteroid to manage lupus for so long: high blood pressure, fragile skin, insomnia, a decrease in bone density, and cataracts.

Yet all along the journey, Jackie has faced each day with gladness. “Every day is a gift, a blessing from God. I’m extremely grateful!”

Part of that gratitude is paid forward. When she meets someone who’s newly diagnosed, she sends a ‘WE CARE’ package filled with facts regarding lupus, the Lupus Foundation of America website address, and little gifts, like a lupus wristband, pin, or key chain. “I want them to know they are not alone in this fight,” she says.

Five years ago, Jackie’s three daughters signed up the family for the Walk To End Lupus Now® in Los Angeles. That was the start of Team JB’s Sweetpeas. “It was my Mothers’ Day gift from my girls. I was so overcome with emotions that I cried—and then my husband donated the first $100!”

She says that team members use a variety of fundraising strategies, such as hosting Launch Luncheons to get everyone pumped up and ready to fundraise. Last year they created bracelets for sale; they also ask each donor to tell five other people about the Walk and the team’s fundraising page. “Bringing awareness is the key! That is our Team mission and goal with our fundraising.”

As for the day of the Walk— “It’s such an indescribable feeling!” Jackie says. “I walk for those like myself, every single person living with lupus and fighting daily. I walk for those unable to walk themselves. I walk to honor and in the memory of those who lost their fight. Talking to others participating in the Walk, hearing their stories and their journey and how the Foundation has been there for them and their family, is something truly magical, and I look forward to being a part of it each year.”

Be Powerful this Fall and sign up for a Walk to End Lupus Now® event in your area.

Preparing for Your Initial Estate Planning Consultation

To determine whether we can be of assistance to you, we ask that you call our office and visit briefly with one of our legal assistants. You will be asked some initial questions regarding your financial and family situation, and if we feel we can be of help, your appointment will then be scheduled.

At the initial meeting you will be asked to bring a list of your assets, along with a copy of your current estate planning documents. It is not necessary to prepare a formal financial statement — a hand-written summary is sufficient.

Expect to receive a reminder phone call from our office the day before your appointment. This is simply to confirm the time and date of the appointment, and to ensure that you are still planning to attend.

What You Can Expect From the Initial Consultation

We will review your existing estate plan and financial situation with you. After engaging in a dialogue of questions and answers to determine your family and financial goals, we will make specific recommendations, and quote you a “fixed legal fee” for the entire estate planning engagement.

*Our firm provides a complimentary initial consultation to qualified families with assets over $2 million.

Style Guide: Slogan Statements © Chanel

Style Guide: Slogan Statements

As the countdown to Christmas begins, give your festive wardrobe a signature stamp. Get it off your chest with a slogan tee, emblazon your bag with a playful slogan, luxuriate your scarf with your initials or simply don a festive sweater

It is that time of year when the invites come streaming in for festive parties galore. Sadly though, my first invite of the season was not for me, but my toddler son. Now you might think throw him in a Santa get up and be done with it, but as a stickler for style, what my little man wears says a lot about me.

So instead of opting for the synthetic Santa suit, I am weighing up festive slogan sweater or kitsch Christmas jumper. In a nutshell, "I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus" versus fine knit Rudolf sweater... A dilemma believe it or not, that is becoming quite a stylish conundrum for us adults too this season. Cool slogan t-shirts (not to mention handbags), monogrammed scarves and novelty jumpers are all up there with glitzy mini dresses and seductive black lace, vying for a place in our winter wardrobes.

First off, slogan-wear offers a casual-cool approach to off-duty dressing. Witty or controversial, say what you think or have some fun, slogan tees are becoming quite the way of communicating, especially for the A-list. Jessie J recently teamed her leather trousers with a white t-shirt sporting the slogan 'I didn't know what to wear today so I put on this designer t-shirt', Cara Delevigne opted for 'Last clean t-shirt', while Jay-Z rocked a bold statement 'I Blame Society'.

The AW 14 catwalks were also hot tongued, with sharp and comical slogans and cool and collected powerful stand alone words emblazoned over tees, sweatshirts, dresses and bags. Henry Holland didn't beat around the bush with his white t-shirt sporting the caption 'Rich Bitch', Tom Ford went for a sports-luxe feel with a sequined dress version of his Tom Ford 61 t-shirt, and Moschino, well designer Jeremy Scott went the whole hog with models parading cereal packet slogans and nutrition labels on floor skimming gowns. The designer himself also stepped out for his bow in a t-shirt stating 'I don't speak Italian but I do speak Moschino'.

Phillip Lim, House of Holland, REDValentino, KENZO and Anya Hindmarch all let their clutches do the talking. Their playful slogans give every day and after dark clutches and bags, a cool and quirky edge, perfect for pepping up an LBD this festive party season and the ideal small talk conversation starters.

For something a little more sophisticated, get monogramming. With models including C.D. and S.W., that's Cara Delevingne and Suki Waterhouse, cocooning themselves in Burberry's monogrammed blanket coats and celebrities including Kylie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Mirren and Justin Bieber all sporting Matalan's charity Alphabet scarves, wearing your initials is no longer the preserve of sports shirts, but the height of sophistication.

Novelty Christmas jumpers also fall into this category of newfound chic - no longer relegated to the 'unwearable presents from Granny' pile. Festive knits are a chic and sassy option, and even Harrods are calling them 'a festive staple'. Hand stitched festive motifs, embroidered snow flakes, delicate sequin stars, classic Fair Isle knits and even the more garish reindeers and Father Christmas' are all making a very chic appearance this winter.

So my decision is made. A fine knit Rudolf sweater for him and Phillip Lim's 'Totes Amaze' nude leather tote for me. Two of us sporting slogans would be a bit of trend overkill for a toddler party, and I certainly need a new bag.

The 30 best foods for healthy teeth and gums
The surprise path to perfect teeth

Teeth are important! no wonder most of us take a really good care of them. Brushing, flossing, scraping our tongue, using mouthwash, we do a lot. Our mouth might very well be the part of our body we take the most care of and yet tooth decay and gum disease are still some of the most prevalent diseases in the world. How come? the answer might hide in the fridge!

Surprising or not, the difference between a healthy smile and frequent visits to the dentist might be your diet. Even if you have a perfect oral hygiene routine, it might be hard to keep your teeth healthy, if you don’t watch what you eat.

Too often, we see food as being only the villain when it comes to oral health. After all, it’s sugars and acids from food and drinks that do most of the damage to our teeth. However, there are many types of food that not only don’t harm your teeth as much but can even give a big boost to your oral health.

From preventing cavities and periodontal disease to even freshening your breath and whitening your teeth, the foods on this list can match the claims of the fanciest toothpaste and mouthwashes on the market. Most of them are actually pretty tasty as well, so take out your shopping list and get ready to add some teeth-friendly goodies.

How some foods help your teeth and gums stay healthy

Your teeth and gums are a part of your body, and as every other part, need good nutrition to function properly. Specific nutrients are most beneficial for different parts of your body, so let’s see which are the most crucial elements for healthy teeth and gums. (you can read which are the worst nutrients for your teeth and gums here)

Foods rich in calcium and phosphorous

Tooth enamel is, well, minerals. Different acidic foods and drinks may cause erosion of the enamel, so to make your teeth strong again you need to put some minerals back and try to restore what is lost. The main heroes here are calcium and phosphorous. These elements are the building blocks of enamel and consuming foods rich in them is a necessity if you want to keep your teeth strong and healthy.

* best sources (calcium) – yogurt, cheese (hard, aged), seafood, milk (low-fat), tofu, almonds

* best sources (phosphorous) – pumpkin seeds, fish, brazil nuts, red meat, eggs, tofu, broth

Firm, crunchy foods high in water

Hard, crunchy foods that contain lots of water are great for your teeth more than one way. First, chewing produces more saliva, which is the best natural neutralizer of the bacteria that causes cavities. Second, the texture of these foods also makes them naturally abrasive, so they gently scrub and clean teeth surfaces, removing plaque and food particles. It has to be raw fruits and vegetable though, so this is not an excuse to munch on chips and crackers.

* best options: celery, apples, cucumbers, carrots

Foods rich in vitamin d

Vitamin d is crucial for your overall health, but it’s really important if you want healthy teeth as well. The main reason is it helps your body to absorb calcium better.

* best sources: sunlight (you can’t eat sunlight, but it still is the best natural source of vitamin d), fish, egg yolks, cod liver oil

Foods rich in vitamin c

Vitamin c is powerful! it can strengthen blood vessels and reduce inflammation, which may help your gums stay healthier. Vitamin c is also required for the production of collagen, a key protein that helps you fight periodontal disease. Without vitamin c, your gums become sensitive and more susceptible to the bacteria causing periodontal disease.

* best sources: bell peppers, oranges, kiwi, strawberries, broccoli, kale

Foods rich in antioxidants

When it comes to their health benefits, antioxidants have almost celebrity status. How do they help your mouth stay healthy? antioxidants fight the bacteria that cause inflammation and periodontal disease. They help protect gums and other tissues from cell damage and bacterial infection.

* best sources: apples, berries, grapes, raisins, nuts, beans

Foods containing probiotics

When it comes to bacteria in your body, there are tons of both good and bad bacteria. Probiotics are some of the best ones. More research is needed here, but there is already some evidence that probiotics may help decrease plaque and promote healthy gums.

* best sources: yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, miso, and other fermented foods

Foods rich in anthocyanins, arginine and polyphenols

There are many other elements that might be beneficial for oral health. More research is needed, but some of the most promising candidates are anthocyanins (which may prevent the attachment of plaque on the teeth and fight oral cancer), arginine (an important amino acid which may disrupt the formation of plaque and reduce chances of cavities) and polyphenols (which may slow the growth of bacteria leading to plaque, preventing gum disease, cavities and bad breath).

* best sources (anthocyanins) – berries, grapes, cherries, plums, eggplant

* best sources (arginine) – meat, soy, nuts

* best sources (polyphenols) – tea (black and green), berries, flaxseed, cocoa

30 of the best foods for healthy teeth and gums

So far we’ve gone over why your diet is important for your teeth and over some of the basic science behind the connection between oral health and what you eat. What is left is to give you the complete list of some of the best foods for your mouth. So, here it is! (or you can click here to see the 25 worst foods and drinks for your teeth and gums.)

1) cheese

Do you like cheddar? it’s rich in calcium. In addition, cheese lowers the acid level in your mouth, which plague hates it for. What’s more, chewing on hard cheeses increases saliva production, which washes off some of the bacteria in the mouth. Want to munch on some not-so-goo-for-your-teeth snacks like crackers – add some cheddar and you’ll mitigate the damage. Just remember, hard, aged cheeses are the best options.

2) milk

Together with water, milk is the best drink when it comes to your teeth. It’s rich in calcium and other important elements. Milk also lowers the acid levels in the mouth, which helps fighting tooth decay.

3) water

Your teeth’s superhero! water helps wash away food particles and keeps your saliva levels high. Saliva is actually your mouth's best defense against tooth decay because it contains proteins and minerals that naturally fight plaque and if you stay hydrated, you have an unlimited supply of it.

4) leafy greens (spinach, broccoli, kale)

Super healthy, leafy greens are rich in calcium, folic acid and lots of important vitamins and minerals that your teeth and gums love.

5) fish (fatty fishes, wild salmon, tuna)

Rich in minerals and important vitamins like vitamin d, fish are a crucial part of any teeth-friendly diet.

6) meat

Most meats are great for your oral health. They are packed with some of the most important nutrients mentioned above. Red meat and even organ meats are especially beneficial.

7) black and green tea

Think polyphenols! polyphenols have been known to reduce bacteria and toxic products of bacteria in the mouth. Tea also tends to be rich in fluoride, which is a well known necessity for healthy teeth. It’s best if you drink it unsweetened as sugar and even honey could ruin the party.

8) nuts

Nuts are full of health benefits for your teeth. They are packed with tons of important elements like calcium and phosphorus. Especially beneficial are almonds, brazil nuts and cashews, which help to fight bacteria that lead to tooth decay.

9) gum

This one is a no-brainer. Chewing gum boosts saliva production, washing away bacteria and food particles.

10) cranberries (fresh)

Rich in polyphenols (just like tea), which keeps plaque at bay, thus lowering the risk of cavities. Fresh cranberries are especially effective at disrupting the process of plaque formation.

11) oranges

Most citrus fruits are really acidic, which is not good for your teeth, but oranges are least acidic of all, and have all the health benefits that you can expect from fruits.

12) strawberries

If you want perfect teeth, you better love strawberries! they are packed with vitamin c, antioxidants and also malic acid, which could even naturally whiten your teeth.

13) yogurt

Yogurt definitely ticks more than one good box for your oral health. It’s packed with calcium and probiotics that protect you against cavities, gum disease and even bad breath.

14) carrots

Carrots are so tasty and full of tons of the most important minerals and vitamins for your mouth that they deserve a special mention. No wonder bugs bunny has perfect teeth.

15) apples

Will an apple a day keep the dentist away? probably not, but it will certainly help. It’s packed with key nutrients and vitamins.

16) garlic

The allicin that is contained in garlic has strong antimicrobial properties. So, it helps you fight tooth decay and especially periodontal disease.

17) ginger

Ginger is amazing in many ways. When it comes to oral health it might freshen your breath and inhibit bacteria growth.

18) whole grains

Consumption of whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice) lowers the risk of gum disease.

19) pears

Unlike many acidic fruits, raw pears are good at neutralizing acids, which makes them a perfect snack at any time.

20) kiwis

Kiwis have one of the highest concentrations of vitamin c.

21) onions

When eaten raw, onions have powerful antibacterial properties especially against some of the bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease.

22) shiitake mushrooms

These tasty asian goodies are plague’s nightmare. They contain lentinan, a natural sugar that disrupts the formation of plaque on your teeth.

23) celery

Celery is so good for your teeth it’s worth a special mention. It’s in many ways the perfect snack for good oral health and is the closest we have to nature’s floss.

24) soy

A diet that includes soy may help promote healthy gums.

25) wasabi

Sushi just got better for your teeth! there is some evidence wasabi stops bacteria from sticking to your teeth.

26) sesame seeds

High in calcium and very efficient at scrubbing plaque off your teeth while you chew them.

27) sweet potatoes

A healthy dose of vitamin a will do lots of good things for your enamel and gums.

28) raisins

This is a surprise entry, as raisins even appear as the bad guys in some places when it comes to their effect on teeth. However, they are a source of phytochemicals like oleanolic, which may kill cavity-causing bacteria. They are also rich in antioxidants.

29) black coffee

An even more surprise entry! however, a series of recent studies have shown that black coffee could protect your teeth from tooth decay and actually help fight plaque. There of course is a small catch, the coffee needs to be black and unsweetened.

30) red wine

Wait a second! haven’t we been told hundreds of times to avoid red wine in order to protect our teeth? well, yes…and no! according to a study in the journal of agricultural and food chemistry, a glass of red wine can have a strong antimicrobial effect against cavities causing bacteria. Cheers to these brave scientists!

Tooth Removal - Really Required?

Dentist, Bangalore
Tooth Removal - Really Required?

Teeth are one of the most precious parts of the human body.  By playing a significant functional and structural role in aesthetics, facial appearance, and food habits, digestion and chewing, all efforts at maintaining them should be undertaken. As we all know, we have two sets of teeth, primary or deciduous and the permanent set. Let us discuss tooth removal in these two sets separately.

Primary Teeth
In the primary teeth, the main indication would be dental decay.  If the tooth is severely damaged beyond repair with fillings, then removal could be an option, with two things considered. The primary successor will erupt within the next 6 months; if not, a space maintainer would be put in place.

Another reason would be if the tooth is beyond its lifecycle and is blocking the eruption of the successor, then it requires removal.

The permanent teeth, however, are a set that are meant to last for a lifetime and removal should be considered only as a last resort. With advances in dental treatment methods, gone are the days when removal would be an option for severe decay.

Some of the absolute indications for removal would be:

  1. Wisdom teeth: if it is erupting in abnormal position (flattened or crooked), then removing them to avoid infection and impingement on other teeth needs to be considered. Wisdom teeth infection is one of the most common causes requiring tooth removal.
  2. Recurrent infections: If a tooth has been root canal treated, but continues to have ongoing chronic infection, it could be a case for removal.
  3. Malformed or supernumerary teeth: These may also block eruption of other teeth into the mouth.
  4. Orthodontic treatment: In cases where the jaw size is really not sufficient to realign the mal-positioned or crooked teeth, the first premolar is often sacrificed, and this space is used to align the other teeth.
  5. Injuries: In case of accidents or injuries with jaw fractures, teeth in the line of fracture may need to be removed.
  6. Preparation for dentures: In cases of severe periodontal disease, where the mobility of the teeth is high and complete dentures are being considered as an option, teeth removal may be planned.  Also, if there are teeth which are in the line of fixed partial dentures, again removal might be planned
  7. Radiation therapy: For head and neck cancer patients, if there are teeth in the line of radiation, then removal might be planned.

Unlike in the earlier years, the absolute indications for removing tooth have changed.  A thorough examination, both oral and radiological, should be done before zeroing on extraction.

I have a mouth infection. I cannot eat any fast foods because of this infection. What I do to cure it?

I have a mouth infection. I cannot eat any fast foods because of this infection. What I do to cure it?
If the mouth ulcer is causing a lot of pain, gently rub a small ice cube over the spot or rinse your mouth with ice-cold water. You could also chew on a clove bud (lavang) and direct the juice generated to the area where the ulcer is located. Clove buds are a great ingredient to cure sore throat too. To prevent the ulcerated area from getting infected, make it a point to rinse your mouth with a little salt water. Remember, this won’t make the ulcer disappear, but it can help reduce the pain. Honey is a natural humectant. It helps reduce scarring and hastens the process of new tissue growth. This, along with its anti-microbial effect ensures faster healing of the mouth ulcer. Chew a few leaves of tulsi along with some water about three to four times every day. This will help in getting rid of ulcers faster and also have a preventive action against their recurrence. Applying a little coconut oil directly onto the mouth ulcer or chewing some coconut (fresh or dry) helps reduce pain and inflammation and hence, ulcers heal faster. Mix some sugar to crushed khus-khus seeds and consume this mixture for instant relief from ulcers. You could apply a little ghee directly to the ulcerated area, or drink a glass of buttermilk two or three times every day. Mouth ulcers left untreated generally go away in a week or so; with these home remedies, you can expect faster relief. However, if you notice an ulcer in the mouth that is persistently present although it does not cause you any pain, do not neglect it or try to treat it with home remedies beyond a few days. Make it a point to see a doctor soon because often, a painless mouth ulcer is one of the earliest signs of oral cancer.

Hi White patches sometimes are not good that too with oral submucous fibrosis. Topical steroids will help with rich antioxidants .These can be best judged by a Dentist. So go for a detailed check up. Also any etiological factor like tobaco smoking alcohol beetle nut sharp tooth etc should be corrected.

Ready to Fly Lyrics

Song Meaning
Verse 1
I've been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to me
Verse 2
I've looked for a way to be wiser
A way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all along
Verse 0
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly
Verse 3
Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood
Like so many others I know
So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on
When I should've been letting go
Verse 4
I was given the gift to find it
The spirit inside me
But I never really imagined
All I could be
Verse 5
Verse 6
The answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands
Now it's time for me to discover
All that I am
Verse 7
Verse 8
I've always had wings
Now I'm finally ready to fly
