Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 digital camera
Sony's latest snapshot, the DSC-T90, takes up the gauntlet thrown down by its predecessors and delivers beauty and simplicity married to almost anorexic proportions. No wonder it's referred to as a "fashion" model, here boasting a maximum width of a mere 15.1mm, weighing just 151g with battery inserted, and operated by basically sliding open its faceplate and pointing the lens in the right direction.
Brushing aside for the moment the observation that the T90 doesn't offer a great deal more than its T77 and T500 predecessors - except (granted) a resolution hike to 12 megapixels - what we do get is an internally stacked 4x optical zoom with a 35-140mm 35mm equivalent range plus renowned Carl Zeiss optics, High Definition 1280 x 720 video clips, and 3-inch widescreen-format touchscreen LCD with 230k dot resolution. Even so, the £289 asking price marks this out as a premium model rather than a value added one.
Though less of a big deal these days thanks to the ubiquitous iPhone, the Sony's touchscreen takes a little getting used to. A plastic stylus that attaches to the wrist strap is provided as a means of tapping and selecting cartoon-ish on-screen icons, which in turn provide access to fold-out or drop-down toolbars, the latter cropping the screen if shooting regular 4:3 ratio snaps rather than 16:9. If that proves too fiddly then a fingertip works just as well, albeit leaving smears on the glass.
With the T90 feeling lightweight yet solid when held in the palm thanks to a mainly metal construction, the screen itself is pleasantly responsive to every prod and effects an action with impressive speed.
At times however the options presented can get a little busy for its LCD size - particularly if shooting in the more extensive program mode. There is however a pared down easy mode, plus an "auto everything" intelligent auto (iA) mode that automatically analyses the scene or subject and adjusts settings accordingly. So, point the camera at something close and it will select macro mode, affording focus down to 8cm from the lens, with 10 other possible options for it to choose from.
If wanting to concentrate on your composition rather than what the camera is doing, then this is the mode to choose. That said, at times our review sample was a little lethargic in distinguishing one scene and setting from the next. More positively, we were up and shooting fairly quickly, a wait of around 2 seconds and a musical "sting" as the camera powers up from cold.
With the only physical controls being a shutter release button, on/off button, tiny rocker switch for the zoom and a playback button at the back, what the T90 misses is an HDMI port for connecting it directly to an HD TV set. Regular AV out and USB 2.0 connections are present and correct, accessed with the aid of a multi-purpose cable included in the box.
Given the fact that this pocket camera puts as much emphasis on style as substance we were pleased to find that light sensitivity of up to ISO 3200 is manually selectable, and that optical image stabilisation is also included, here under the "SteadyShot" branding. Useful, as with a narrow screen surround there's not much of the model presented to get a firm grip on, thus camera shake can seem more pronounced.
At its top ISO setting the T90 doesn't do a bad job, the level of grain/image noise visible being comparable to that witnessed at ISO 1600 from a 10 or 12 megapixel snapper around the £120 mark, and so it proves progressing incrementally down the range.
In terms of stills quality, left on its factory settings the camera produces subdued yet natural looking colours, with a vivid option selectable for added richness. Given that previous generations of Sony's have suffered from obvious pixel fringing, here such aberrations are kept under control and, as mentioned earlier, the auto scene modes work well, particularly when the camera selects the green and blue biasing landscape mode.
It may not excel at one thing in particular but the T90 works as a general-purpose tool for occasional use for those who don't want to fuss around with settings.
Small enough to carry in a pocket at all times, the T90 suggests itself as the ideal purchase for the happy snapper wanting better quality results than a camera phone will presently provide. It looks good too, even though Sony's designers seem to be resting on their laurels rather than attempting to enhance the range further and little has changed from previous incarnations.
Incidentally, if, like we do, you feel a larger 3.5-inch touchscreen would be advantageous, then the T500 was at the time of writing available for an identical outlay.

However, despite the presence of the Secretary of State for Culture, Chris Smith, and the playwright Sir Tom Stoppard, the early wishes of the late Lord Olivier and Dame Peggy Ashcroft that it reopen as a theatre have not been fulfilled. Instead, it will be an exhibition centre - a victory of sorts certainly, as developers once wanted to cover the whole site permanently with offices.
The foundations of the intimate open-air theatre, discovered during building work in 1988, are still shrouded in a foot of concrete, sand and water, to preserve them.
A decade ago, protesters including Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Lord Olivier and Dame Peggy joined local residents to picket the site and save it from the bulldozers.
A pounds 1m grant from the government of the time compensated developers for changing their plans so they could suspend their 13-storey block on three massive girders over the irreplaceable remnants of Philip Henslowe's theatre.
There are eventual plans to redesign the new building to include a special basement display space for the theatre remains and it is hoped arch-aeological advances will enable full excavation in future.
Visitors will be able to see the exhibition, incorporating a sound and light show narrated by Sir Ian telling the site's history. The campaign patrons Janet Suzman and Sir Tom Stoppard were there to see the opening. Sir Tom's Oscar-winning screenplay Shakespeare In Love centres on the theatre. He said: "The exhibition is very informative and has been very well done."
Preserving the remains of the Rose had been the right thing to do despite the cost, he said. "We put on a show and a lot of us came here to persuade the government to stop it [the redevelopment]. Nobody suffered from it. The office building is here anyway."
Ironically, the office building had stood empty for three years after completion, until a government department moved in, and it is only intended to last a generation.
The lifespan of the Rose was short, from 1587 to 1606, when it was overshadowed by larger, newer rivals such as the Globe, now reconstructed near by.
It was Christopher Marlowe's theatre, but the young Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Henry VI Part One were staged there before he formed his own company.
Geoffrey Rush, the actor who played Henslowe in the film, sent a message saying: "I applaud this venture. If I was able to stand in front of you and it today, I'd be wearing rose-coloured glasses."
The constituency MP, Simon Hughes, said: "This is the holy of holies of English theatre."
From today, visitors can see the exhibition, with admission pounds 3 for adults, pounds 2.50 for concessions and pounds 2 for children.

Duncan lawyers: Secrecy has gone too far
Attorneys for admitted multiple murderer and child molester Joseph Duncan now say there's been too much secrecy in the killer's death sentence proceedings, and they're objecting to a planned closed court hearing set for Thursday. The defense attorneys said the extensive secrecy in the case, from filing documents under seal to actual closure of proceedings, violates both the 1st Amendment and Duncan's 6th Amendment right to a public trial. "The defense acknowledges its participation in the culture of secrecy in this case up to this point," the attorneys, led by Seattle attorney Mark Larranaga, wrote in today's filings. "Having now considered the issues implicated by such practices, the defense believes it has mistakenly gone along with the same in the past. The instant motion has been brought to avoid allowing that improper practice to continue." They asked U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge to rule swiftly on their motion, and if he denies it to stay Thursday's hearing so they can appeal his decision to the 9th Circuit.

|Corozalito Community Centre inaugurated
|Written by Administrator
|Thursday, 02 December 2010 00:00
An upgraded community centre was inaugurated on Wednesday December 1 in Corozalito Village, located off the Old Northern Highway in the Belize District. The community centre is used mainly for church services and community meetings as well as sporting activities. The upgraded centre will now serve as a shelter in the event of a hurricane. The project will benefit over 100 persons in 16 households.
The project was implemented by the Social Investment Fund and financed by the Government of Belize at a total cost of $20,600 through the Commonwealth Debt Initiative (CDI). The community of Corozalito contributed by removing and stock piling the windows and doors.
The project included the rehabilitation of the old community centre. The work scope included steel brushing and scraping of the roof truss over hangings and painting; sealing of roof leaks and eaves, replacement of the fascia boards and gutters; repairs to the centre's concrete water vat; removal of wooden windows and doors and replacement with aluminum storm guard louver windows and panel type metal doors respectively; installation of burglar bars, replacement of light fixtures and bulbs and the installation of five electric fans and painting of the entire building.
Corozalito Village is located 35 ½ miles North West of Belize City and 29 ½ miles South East of Orange Walk Town on the Old Northern Highway. It is a predominantly Creole community and is the third of eight villages on the Old Northern Highway. Farming has remained the mainstay of the community.
Residents of Corozalito, Santana and St. Ann's will soon benefit from a major water project being implemented by S.I.F. in the village of Santana, where the water tank and production well are located. Santana is approximately one mile from Corozalito.
Guest speaker at the inauguration of the upgraded centre was Hon. Edmond Castro, Area Representative for Belize Rural North. Other speakers included Mr. Alberto Villanueva, Chairman of Corozalito Village Council and Mr. Daniel Cano, Executive Director of the Social Investment Fund.

Can't access locations on google maps
Hi. I accidentally opted out of letting Google Maps access my location. I cannot seem to get to opt in again. The instructions say:
For Browser (Android):
1. Go to Menu>More>Settings.
2. In Settings, go to Website>Settings>Google Maps Mini>Clear location settings
Although I can't actually find Menu>More>Settings, I find these various things in different settings, but I still cannot manage to opt in so that maps accesses my location.
Can someone please help? Either tell me where the 'Menu' is so I can go to Menu>More>Settings etc, or tell me another simple way?
It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Excellent non-productive cough syrup with!Very helpful to my children. I will order more
didn't work
Posted by Reviewer3290903 on Mar 27, 2012
Unfortunately this product did not work for my 4 year old grand daughter. She didn't have any problem with the taste - said it tasted good - but it was as if she hadn't taken anything at all. We did try it for 2 days just in case it takes some time to kick in - since I had already paid for it - might as well give it a chance. We had much better results from the Boiron Chestal (also sold on iHerb) for daytime use. However we did have better results with the nighttime version of this product so we'll continue to use the nighttime version.

My 3 year old is prone to "daycare" illnesses throughout the year. I had a very bad experience earlier this year with an allergy medication that completely changed my little angel into a depressed, impulsive monster. I swore NEVER AGAIN with RX and switched to homeopathic medications. He had a cold last week. I decided to try Hyland's Cold N Cough. Within 2 days it knocked the cold out of him. This has never happened in the history of his life (ok, ok, he's only 3 but still). Usually he is sick for weeks and then the antibiotics and then the ear infection...and so on. Not this time. Cold was gone and that was it. I'm a believer in Hyland's now.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
I have blogged before about one of my favorite graffiti artists, Banksy. Recently there has been some buzz in the ad world about another provocative work attributed to him. It involves a well-known bottle and trademark that Steve has been posting about frequently over the past several weeks. Normally I would post an image of it here, but Banksy has some choice, four-letter words for the advertising industry and IP rights. So why don't you go ahead and check it out here.
As an intellectual property attorney who has lived and breathed advertising her whole life, as a consumer of it and countless afternoons watching the behind-the-scenes action as a daughter of an ad exec at a major ad agency — you kind of hurt my feelings, Banksy.
Banksy certainly feeds into growing anti-corporate, 99%-er sentiment about the effects on society of corporations and government monopolies like intellectual property rights. Banksy asserts that once a created work is put in the public domain, then it's the public's to use and manipulate and there should be no intellectual property protections. If this thought interests you, I encourage you to read articles related to the contrasting views amongst libertarians about intellectual property rights, such as the one linked here.
Let's be honest, although Banksy spouts off on branding and intellectual property rights, he (and consumers of his art) certainly benefit from those rights and protections. Banksy himself is a brand – that's part of what I think is his genius. His Oscar-nominated Exit Through The Gift Shop documentary is copyrighted and registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Countless fake Banksy works are sold on eBay for much more than a penny. Proof of his love-hate relationship with IP rights is right on his website:
(It may be hard to see, but it says "You're welcome to download whatever you wish from this site for personal use. However, making your own art or merchandise and passing it off as 'official' or authentic Banksy artwork is very bad and wrong.")
I have to say that, in some respects, he has a point. Unless you are living off the grid, we are constantly bombarded every day with images of how we should look, dress, eat, drink, live. We often fail to acknowledge how pervasive marketing is in our lives. However, as we know, branding and marketing help us make choices about a good or service and to distinguish sources of goods. Marketing provides the consumer with an expectation of quality, particular characteristics, or an experience associated with a particular good or service. Setting aside his rhetoric, maybe the message of Banksy's advertising diatribe is to be better stewards of that important responsibility.
It's OK, Banksy. You can make up for my hurt feelings by sending me two Lady Di tenners and a signed print of your message-in-a-bottle advertising manifesto. I'll frame it and put it up in my office as a reminder.

We are also not responsible for the delay or deficiency in services provided by agency, airline, transport, hotel, cruise or any provider of services, and / or any act or actions of co-travellers, co-passengers which may result in injury, damage to the life / limb or property of the Client or interfere with enjoying or availing the following and / or the other services to be provided on the tour.
The Client has been supplied with details for the Tour Arrangements and the Tour Brochure / Itinerary for the relevant year and season. The Client shall read the same as well as the 'Terms and Conditions' and the 'Booking Conditions' carefully before filling and signing the Booking Form. The Terms & Conditions, Booking Form, Payment Receipt shall be binding on the parties and shall constitute a contract between the parties, on the Client signing the Booking Forms and making payment towards the prescribed non-refundable interest free deposit amount. In case of one or more but not all Clients sign the 'Booking Form', it shall be deemed that the others have duly authorised the concerned signing Client/s. In cases where the travel agent through whom the clients have booked the tour signs the Booking Form for and on behalf of the persons named in the Booking Form, it shall be deemed and construed that the clients have duly authorized the said travel agent to sign on their behalf. The signing of the Booking Form by the Client or by their travel agent shall mean acceptance in totality of the Terms and Conditions contained herein by the Client/s.
No person including the Employee/s and the Agent/s of the Company other than the Company, in writing, has the authority to vary, add, amplify or waive any stipulation, representation, term or condition set forth in this Brochure. Any assurance given by any person shall have no consequence.
The Company reserves the right to decline to register any person/s as Client/s for any Tour or to cancel their registration without assigning any reason.
There is no contract between the Company and the Client until the Company has received the appropriate non-refundable deposit. The full payment must be received in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Brochure under the heading "HOW TO BOOK". If not paid in that time, the Company reserves the right to cancel the booking with the consequent loss of deposit and apply the scale of cancellation charges as mentioned in the "HOW TO BOOK" section.
The Company has the right at any time and for any reason
It shall be solely the Clients' responsibility to hold valid and genuine travel documents and statutory clearances, to be able to travel on the Holiday, such as passports, visas, confirmed air-tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other statutory certificates including immigration clearance etc. In any case, your Passport must be valid for at least six months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the Holiday. Please note that guest travelling to Malaysia should have a valid passport for at least nine months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the holiday.
It is the responsibility of the Clients to furnish all documents required by the Company for application of visa etc. We are mere facilitators for providing visa guidance services. In the event the application for the visa made by any Client or the Company on behalf of the Client is rejected by the concerned Embassy or Authorities due to inadequate documents furnished by the applicant or due to any other reason whatsoever, the Company shall not be liable or responsible for the same. The visa fee includes the actual visa charge, cost of processing fees, professional charges, and overheads. All cost, charges in respect of the said application for the visa shall be borne by the Client and the non-refundable deposit paid by the client shall be forfeited and no claim whatsoever shall be made for the same. UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by the Client directly, however the Company can only assist in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by clients. Certain consulates / embassies may call the clients for personal interviews and / or biometrics,
As granting or rejecting visas and immigration clearance is the sole prerogative of the concerned sovereign governments and the Company is only a facilitator, the Operator shall neither be responsible in case of non-granting of such documents nor liable for any delay, denial or other related act / omission or for any loss, expense, damage or cost resulting there from. The position in respect of cancellation of the tour by the Client due to non-availability of travel documents would not change only by virtue of the Client having applied for such documents through the Operator. Even if the visas are rejected, the stipulated fees of the Operator shall be payable by the Client. There will be no refund, if the Client, or any member of his party, is unable to travel due to the said reasons. In fact, many a time, due to such cancellations, the company suffers losses because, sometimes, the cancellation is done at a time of holiday rush like Olympics etc. and the third party suppliers such as hotels, airlines and cruises levy 100% cancellation charges. In such cases, cancellation charges as applicable by the company will apply and the decision of the company will be final and binding upon you. Under the circumstances, you agree not to proceed legally against us unless there is a manifest error from our end.
The Company would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned Embassy / Consulate regarding name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport number. We always use services of reputed courier companies for the purpose of transmission of passports to the Embassies / Consulates and to our clients in various cities. We would not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport. The documents forwarded by you for visa purpose are sent by us to the concerned Embassy / Consulate by third parties and hence we would not be liable for loss of your documents. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents.
In the event that a client is unable to travel on the Holiday date originally booked by him / her, due to rejection of visas by the concerned Embassy, the said client shall have the option to postpone his / her holiday to any other future date or choose any other holiday destination subject to cancellation charges of the previous holiday. However, if the client books and pays within the cancellation period and is unable to travel due to any reason whatsoever including non-availability of visas or any travel documents, the cancellation policy will apply.
It shall be the duty of the Client to inform the Company in case the Client has any medical condition that may affect his ability to enjoy and pursue fully the Holiday Arrangements and wherein the interest of the Group or any member thereof is prejudicially affected.
The Company shall be within its rights to forfeit the non- refundable interest free deposit paid by the client to the company along with the prescribed booking form duly completed for the tour booked by the client. In the event the client cancels the booking or on failure on the part of the Client to adhere to the tour payment schedule as informed in the documentation check list or in the event the visa of any country is not granted or is unable to travel on the tour booked by the client due to any reason whatsoever, including medical ground or sickness, the non refundable interest free deposits shall stand forfeited, and the scale of cancellation set out in the "How To Book" section of the brochure shall be applicable and binding. The Client expressly agrees to the foregoing terms and conditions.
In the event of the Company exercising its rights to amend or alter any Tour or holiday advertised in their Brochure / itinerary after such Tour or Holiday has been booked, the Client shall have the right:
In either of these above cases the Client shall not be entitled to or the company shall not be liable to the client for any damage, additional expenses, consequential loss suffered by him or to pay any amount as refund.
In the event that the Company is unable to conduct a particular Tour, the Company may at its own discretion, refund the amount of the cost of the said Tour to the Client (after deducting the actual expenses incurred by us on the booking like visas, insurance premium, ticket voiding charges, and other overheads as applicable etc on a case to case basis) without any interest on the same. The Client will not be entitled to make any grievance thereafter in respect of the same. Refund, if any would be paid to the client as per the prevalent rate of exchange in Indian Rupees (INR) as per the RBI regulations at the time of making the refund.
The Company shall, in no circumstances whatsoever be liable to the client or any person travelling with him for:
The Company shall not be responsible and / or liable for any damages caused to the Client due to reasons beyond the control of the Company (Force Majeure / Vis Majeure).
In any case, no liability on the part of the Company arising in any way out of this contract in respect of any tour, holiday, excursion facility shall exceed the total amount paid for the tour holiday, and shall in no case include any consequential loss or additional expense whatsoever.
If the Client, has any grievance in respect of any services provided by any of the Independent Contractors, the Client shall immediately inform the Company and the Independent Contractor, so that the Company can take up the matter with the Independent Contractor and the Company has the chance to rectify the problems then and there, if the grievance is genuine. If you fail to do this, any right to compensation or refund which you may have, will be extinguished or reduced.
In case of Client/s grievance concerning services of any independent contractor should be communicated on the emergency telephone number given to you immediately, followed by written communication mailed to the Registered Office of the company at Turner Morrison Building, 16 Bank Street, Fort, Mumbai - 400 001 / via facsimile no. 91 22 2270 91 61 or emailed at email@example.com as immediately as possible and a copy thereof should be marked to the independent contractor, whereby the Company has the chance to rectify any problems, if the grievance is genuine.

We try to maintain the privacy of the personal information provided by you. However, it would be necessary for us to share this information with Consulates, Embassies, Airlines, Hotels and other service providers who would be providing you service during the tour. We would also be constrained to disclose such information if we receive an order of the court, a requisition from any government or statutory authority, subpoena, or under any law, rules or regulations, such disclosure becomes necessary.
The company reserves the right to publish photographs of clients taken during the tour.
As the services to be provided to the tour participants are booked several months in advance, cancellation of such services earmarked for a particular departure results in the Company losing money depending upon the time of cancellation to the Supplier. Therefore any cancellation of tour / services booked by a tour participant will attract cancellation charges as specified by the company. If the tour participant books a third party product or service, the Terms and Conditions and cancellation policy of such third party would be applicable in addition to the Company's Terms and Conditions. Any cancellation of tour / services has to be in writing clearly stating the reasons for cancellation. You expressly agree to the foregoing terms.
If you have any tips, which you might want to share with us, do write in to us at this address: Customer Service Cell, Cox & Kings Ltd., Turner Morrison Building, 16 Bank Street, Fort, Mumbai - 400 001 or email to us at firstname.lastname@example.com

However the Company will not be held liable for claims of damages or consequential loss if such requests are not honored.

Quick, some village is missing a thick idiot!!
This guy is a prize melon of the grandest order who needs to understand that 999 are for life threatening emergencies.
I guess he left school with zero qualifications he's that stupid!
Quick, some village is missing a thick idiot!!
This guy is a prize melon of the grandest order who needs to understand that 999 are for life threatening emergencies.
I guess he left school with zero qualifications he's that stupid!
If a trace can be put on these calls it should be done.Trace these idiots and give them a public dressing down along with their picture and let everyone know who is wasting Police time.This may help also when people complain that the Police are not doing their job.
It's all well and good the police contantly releasing these calls to the media; what goes does it do when you STILL get Grade A morons like this one ringing 999 for totally imappropriate calls?
And to boot, he's not just a moron, he's got a serious attitude problem too.
The police almost certainly no the identity of this creti. So why not tell us who he is?
And even better - why not prosecute him?
I think you'll find that, as a general rule, the thicker a person is, the greater his or her attitude problem.
What a Numpty it's the village idiot, bet his Mom and Dad are really proud of him lol
I suspect the reason for releasing the calls is too allow his family and friends to recognise the voice and have a good laugh at him. Unfortunately these, illiterate, uneducated, sub normal drop outs that inhabit our country were probably spawned by the same type of people. No action can be taken to improve their education, as the liberal lunatics in Government have stopped corporal punishment in our schools. They probably also have a multitude of children, for the child allowance, and these kids will go the same way. Suggest this will get worse not better and prosecuting them would not have an effect because they are most likely on benefits. They are unable to find work to suit their intellect, they may even have a problem sweeping the streets.
Wjy do stories like this tend to generate total generalisations such as "they're on benefits" and "have lots of children for the child allowance" etc etc?
You have no proof of this. So dry up and grow up.
Learn to read, Charlie said probably and most likely. Charlie sounds quite grown up to me and he is probably and most likely right.
Low intelligence people tend to heve large families and as intelligence is almost entirely hereditary they tend to have the sort of cretins who do this type of thing and are most likely to be on benefits just like that Channel 5 moron on TV last night.
You're right.
In a perverse way I bet this stupid man and his family will think he's famous!! Yet another JK family.
Yet another 'Very Old Story' E&S! - Where was this one syndicated from? - The Daily Fail? - Or was it a 'Tip' from 'Cub Reporter' Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson? - He was on your Payroll?
It's not a 'very old story'.
It's from the West Midlands Police. And it's yet another tale of people misusing the 999 system. Just because you've heard a similar story before doesn't mean they should ignore it. Or should anyone else.
Did you even read the story? Doesn't sound like it.
No it's not an old story. I hope you're not sticking up for this idiot?
Sadly the emergency services receive many calls equally as pointless. In this case the man appears to actually believe this constitutes an emergency. . I am not sure if the system is still the same but at one time of day if anyone called 999 the number was automatically logged.and the caller could not close the call only the operator so it would be a simple matter for the police to follow this up.
He should be charged, end of...............

List of ALL
Bateman poems
Heather Bateman
I do not like my state of mind
I'm bitter, querulous, unkind.
I hate my legs, I hate my hands,
I do not yearn for lovelier lands.
I dread the dawn's recurrent light;
I hate to go to bed at night.
I snoot at simple, earnest folk.
I cannot take the gentlest joke.
I find no peace in paint or type.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted.
For what I think, I'd be arrested.
I am not sick, I am not well.
My quondam dreams are shot to hell.
My soul is crushed, my spirit sore;
I do not like me any more.
I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse.
I ponder on the narrow house.
I shudder at the thought of men...
I'm due to fall in love again."
