Fore Edge Friday
A few weeks ago, we mentioned that we hold two copies of Milton’s Paradise Lost printed by Charles Whittingham for Thomas Heptinstall in 1799, and that both copies have fore-edge paintings! We’ve already displayed one copy with its single painting; today we present the second copy, which bears not one, but two fore-edge paintings! This is called a double fore-edge painting, where one painting is revealed when the pages are fanned, and then when the book is flipped over and fanned the other way, a different painting appears. There are also triple fore-edge paintings (which we do not hold), where paintings are made on two opposite-fanned edges, and then a third painting is applied to the closed, gilded edge.
Like the first copy, this book is also bound in gold-tooled red Morocco goatskin with all edges gilded, but the cover tooling is less ornate and the copy is a bit more battered than the first copy, as are the paintings. The first copy had a painting that seemed to relate to the book’s content, but in this copy the paintings appear to have no relation at all. On one side is a painting of an early 19th-century landscape of the city of Philadelphia on either the Delaware or Schuylkill river. The other is a much more worn painted landscape of Boston from either Boston Harbor or the Charles River.
The endpapers are marbled in a Gloster pattern, which we described in a previous post, and the book bears the armorial bookplate of Arthur Philip Lloyd (1833-1893) of Leaton Knolls in Shropshire, England. The Lloyds were a prominent English family of the Peerage. The binding appears to be early 19th-century, so we think the painting may have been done at the same time, but why would a British peer decorate his English book with images of American cities? Unless, of course, it was done by a later American owner. A mystery.

These can even be produced from cotton
But surely no sport makes such demands on the patience of its followers as professional cycling. As the Tour de France wends its arduous way along the minor roads of the host nation, cycling addicts watch with a mixture of admiration and trepidation cheap jerseys. Mixed feelings are inevitable: how often have they praised a runaway stage winner, or wearer of the prestigious yellow jersey, only to see the same athlete led away in shame after a failed dope test?.
cheap jerseys How can all this be overcome? Now it is beyond even the police force to solve this deadly problem. Amongst police personnel, so many are such that they are hand in glove with criminals and share the looted booty. Thus how can they be combated? It is very difficult to gain victory over them in a direct fight or duel.  cheap jerseys
Tiger shark or Galeocerdo cuvier is the only member of the Galeocerdo genus. They inhabit the tropical and temperate waters around Pacific islands. They have dark stripes on their bodies, that earns them the name tiger sharks. "It calms me down, helps my nerves. It helps me unwind after a hard day." This explanation, says Kenny and Leaton (1995), can be viewed as the anxiety thesis. Partially a derivative of Freud's work, he stated that during times of anxiety and stress, people look to the past for things that worked for them.
nfl jerseys It took the arrival of Dennis Bergkamp to change the match. Danny Murphy had just provided Liverpool's first significant effort, heading over from Riise's cross https://www.cheapjerseysitems.com, when Bergkamp bamboozled Carragher as both contested Campbell's hoof into the stratosphere. The Dutchman fed Pires whose cross was tucked away by Ljungberg, a regular scourge of Liverpool..  nfl jerseys
cheap jerseys These can even be produced from cotton. Quite a few customers are discerning when they want to purchase their unique meeting bags. That may help you try to supply company bags for a minimum of the main functions. But then, that was really a long time ago. Video games in 2016 17 have grown so life like, it would be a shame to not pick that controller up and pose as Neymar Jr, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic or Gerard Pique, even if you're not into football per se. You know, sweat it out, for a couple of hours.  cheap jerseys

The New Deal we remember Social Security, the Wagner Act, Fair Labor Standards, the SEC and Glass Stegall, progressive taxation came not in the first 100 days, but as Roosevelt, under pressure from his left, geared up for re election.

EBay does not police users that sell counterfeit items. Shin guards can be no higher than 2 inches above the ankles.

Against All Odds
Me, @exxiah and @coin-tricks-and-thirium piece for the April may event in the BPS server! @exxiah did the art, and me and @coin-tricks-and-thirium did the story.
Art is here: https://exxiah.tumblr.com/post/185180352385/enjoy-this-collection-of-krii7y-art-please-go
Soulmates were many things. First off, they were colorful. It was what defined them, after all, the swirling blues and greens and purples and reds that covered those who had met their destined. The colors were taught in health classes, small units covering what the colors meant, where the colors spread. Blues were platonic, blooming from touches of friendship and laughter. Those lucky enough to find their soulmates would see spirals of blue covering their fingers, their hands, from where they had just greeted a stranger, or splashes covering shoulders and arms where they had ran into each other. Red was for romantic love, kisses and dates and crushes and confessions. Delicate pink circles draw out over lips, a complicated and permanent lipstick from a first kiss, or ruby red decorating thighs for a first time. Yellow marked everything else, golden stripes decorating a torso for an anniversary, or neon fingertips from nervous confrontations.
Soulmates were rare. With billions of people in the world, and only one match, it’s nearly impossible to find yours. Out of everyone, there was little over 10,000 recorded at any given time. Because of this, the very few lucky ones, those who were blessed to meet their perfect match, tended to become famous. In olden days, they were renowned as deities, or gifts from them, and given castles and temples and sacrifices in hopes of good fortune raining upon their civilizations. In current times, soulmates made autobiographies and blogs and tv shows, regardless of how much effort they put in. After all, if you can’t have something, you may as well enjoy someone else having it.
Last of all, soulmates were desired. Of course they were; who wouldn’t want to spend the rest of their lives with a perfect match, the one they were destined to love? Before the internet, people would circumvent the globe, spending fortunes on traveling abroad in hopes of finding their match. Nowadays, it was different. Easier communication allowed for distance to not play a factor, and language barriers faded into minor inconveniences because of translator failures. However, it was harder to know when you had found your soulmate, without the colors created from touch. Scientists and engineers and entrepreneurs attempted time and time again to find technology that could create the same reaction as physical touch in soulmates, but it was difficult, for test subjects were practically nonexistent.
John didn’t care about any of that. Sure, it was interesting to hear about, but it wouldn’t affect him. He had given up finding his soulmate when he was a teenager, when statistics had spat on his dreams. Even if he had cared it already seemed impossible. He had been told when he was seven, coming home from first grade with a letter to his soulmate that his teacher had made them write in class. John had brought it to his mother, proudly showing off the six-sentence letter focusing on the most recent episode of Power Rangers happily written in typical first-grade style.
“When will I get to show them my letter?” he had asked her with a wide smile and sparkling eyes. He didn’t pay any mind to the glance she threw at his father, the tightening of her lips and the hesitation in her voice.
“Well,” she began, her voice frank. “Not everyone gets to meet their soulmate. So you might never get to give your letter to her.” The sparkle faded from John’s eyes and the smile fell from his face.
“But Ms. Bregg says that a soulmate is who you’re supposed to be with for your whole life,” John said, crossing his arms and sticking out his bottom lip in defiance. “Ms. Bregg can’t be wrong.”
“She’s not wrong my love,” his mother said, getting down from her chair and giving him back his letter. “But most people never meet their soulmates. It’s unlikely that you’ll ever meet yours, but that doesn’t mean you can’t meet someone and be happy! Just look at your dad and I.”
“But if it won’t work out?” John questioned, hands dropping from their crossed position to flop noisily by his side. His eyes started to well up, brimming with tears.
His mother opened her arms to him, her voice now softer and consoling. “No matter what you happen to do, soulmate or not John, your father and I will always be here for you.”
Without a second thought, he rushed into his mother’s open arms, feeling warmth and kindness embrace him. However, despite the love he felt, it was this moment that sparked the fire within John. The feeling of hopelessness that made it’s home buried within his soul. That maybe everything that he was taught by Ms. Bregg was for naught. That to be united with his soulmate just wasn’t in the cards. He grew to despise Ms. Bregg, and rejoiced when she was fired a few years later because of teaching inappropriate content to children.
These thoughts of hopelessness were only reaffirmed when he entered high school, filled with hormones, attitudes run high, and knowledge he didn’t want to know. John had officially decided that health was the worst class in the world. A teacher who could care less if his students passed or failed and a very strong opinion on the very topic his mother had touched on all those years ago. It had been that part of the year where more of the intimate topics were touched on in the class, which included the topic of soulmates and how truly rare they were.
“Alright. As you know, we’ve started our coverage of our soulmates unit.” Mr. Leaton’s annoying voice echoed through the classroom full of rowdy students. John sat at his desk that day, blue and black painted nails tapping incessantly on the polished wood.
“I showed you guys the importance of the colors yesterday. Today will be a bit different. We're going to be looking at some statistics regarding soulmates! So all my math kids buckle up.” Mr. Leaton gave a half smile, pulling down the big white projector.
John huffed as the projector turned on, the brightly colored background practically burning his eyes. A few clicks of the mouse to get the slides set up before Mr.Leaton had returned to the front of the room. The slide behind him was a very off colored yellow orange with the title, “Soulmate Statistics”. John could already feel himself getting antsy in his seat as the lecture began.
“So most of you might be wondering. How many people actually find their soulmate, and what is the likelihood of you finding yours?” Mr. Leaton declared, the sentence dissolving into the anxious air about the classroom. The button on the clicker was tapped, the slide transitioning effortlessly to the ones after. The final slide depicted a man and a woman, decorated in colors through the screen of a television, smiles lighting up their faces.
“Now that you know a little more about what the statistics say having a soulmate is like, here's a fun fact. There are only 10,000 soulmates who are recorded at any given time in the world. With close to 8 billion people, it seems a little unrealistic to find yours.” Mr. Leaton spoke, pointing to the picture.
John looked at the screen, a sense of dread building up within his stomach. 8 billion people. 8 billion chances wasted. 8 billion possible souls and one impossible chance at finding the one that matched his.
“For those of you who are good at math, what is the approximate percentage of any one person finding their soulmate in today's world?” Mr. Leaton questioned the class. A sea of blank stares were given back. John had his pencil and paper, doing the equations in silence, to figure out the number to the best of his ability.
“There's less than a 1.42% chance.” John responded to the question, displaying his mathematics work on the paper in front of him. The number made his head spin.
“That's correct John. There is less than a 1.42% chance. In fact all of those numbers are moved even more due to a -6 in decimal points.” Mr. Leaton spoke, blabbering on about the subject before moving onto the next slide. John had spaced out, no longer interested in the conversation at hand. Right there, in the middle of that health classroom, John had given up ever trying to find his soulmate. While other people would spend millions of dollars trying, John would be content with where he was at.
He had made peace with that fact long before he graduated high school, long before he started doing YouTube. But as his channel started to grow, and more and more people started watching his videos, his mind drifted back to the idea of soulmates, to statistics and dreams he had long since left in the dust. They came back to him as a sense of curiosity, and that sense only grew and grew as YouTube’s algorithm started recommending videos on soulmates, and as TVs and radio stations drones on about the latest celebrity soulmates.
It took a few months til that curiosity grew strong enough that, as the moon began to set and the sun went to claim back the sky, John sat in his room with his computer, reading article after article about soulmates in modern times. Every one he came across said basically the same thing.
With the rise of the internet, people were meeting more and more folks with similar interests from around the globe, leading to an increase in soulmates being found. Even with the increase, there was a predicted larger number of soulmates being discovered than that, as the soul marks were only triggered by physical touch between soulmates. Technology was being developed to show these soul marks through the screen, but no advancements had been made.
As John scrolled through article after article, some written by moms on their blog posts with about as much credibility as a reddit post, some written by scientists that had words John didn’t know without Google, he started to hope for the first time since he was a child, that maybe there was hope for him to meet his soulmate after all.
He met Smitty not long after that. A friend of both of them got them into a recording session together, and with their similar sense of humor and personalities, they hit it off immediately. John found himself at ease around Smitty, and from the laughter that came freely through the speakers whenever they talked, John assumed that Smitty felt the same.
They kept recording together, and, eventually, they called nearly as much while not recording then when they did. Late night conversations, whether it be about their work or their lives, or topics ranging from games to fashion to politics, became a near nightly thing between them. Even if the calls were just static over their microphones, with brief sentences breaking the silence between them, they just sat in silence and enjoyed each other's company.
Both of their channels started to grow, and the videos they did together were almost always hits, with fans seeming to enjoy their friendship just as much as they enjoyed being friends. (Though John doubted that that could possibly be true; he didn’t think that anyone could enjoy anything as much as when Smitty made stupid jokes that were just between the two, jokes that had him laughing harder than he can remember ever laughing before he met Smitty.) And with the growth of their channels, came invites. Invites to cons and events to get more involved with the community.
The first con Smitty agreed to go to was close to where John lived, and when he heard that Smitty would be going, he offered his house as a place for him to stay. It was what friends were for after all. And a house would be much nicer to stay in than a cheap hotel that was already booked out.
A few days before Smitty was set to arrive was when the panic started to set in. John had a million questions swimming through his mind as he set up the spare bedroom and cleaned the house. What if the house wasn't good enough, or if his jokes fell flat, or maybe his hair would decide not to cooperate when he arrived? Irrational little things poked at the back of the bleach blonde's mind throughout the day, attempting to gain some semblance of organization.
Another part of John spoke differently. Smitty was his best friend, and had been for years! Sure, it would be their first time meeting face to face, but they were still the same people right? They'd played hours of games together from CS:GO to Fortnite and Uno. They'd spent even longer talking to each other when insomnia kept the two from sleeping. He was sure that Smitty could still make him laugh even with the doubts attacking his brain. It wouldn't be so bad after all.
In the hours between the time he woke up and the time Smitty was supposed to land, John had made at least ten panicked discord calls, rebrushed his hair more times than he could count, and was anxiously checking both the digital clock in his bedroom plus the analog clock in the living room. His stomach was in knots and his head was in the clouds as the seconds counted down.
He left for the airport hours earlier than he had to, prepared to settle down near the front desk of the airport to wait for Smitty to arrive. Slowly he moved throughout the airport, til he had made it as far as he could without actually boarding a plane. When he made it to the gate he was fated to wait at, he sat himself in one of the uncomfortable chairs. Not much changed, as he passed time the same way he had been at his house, bouncing his leg nervously and checking from clock to clock. He tried to distract himself with his phone, playing random app games or listening to music. It worked for a little while, til he got a notification from one of the others, asking if Smitty had landed in yet. With a quick “no” shot back to them, he went right back to worrying.
He nearly felt his heart stop when Smitty’s name appeared in his notifications, accompanied by red and blue hearts on either side of his name and a message saying he had just landed and was looking for him. His thoughts started flying even faster than they had been before, to the point where he couldn’t discern any one thought from the others. Shooting a quick text back with which gate he was next to (he didn’t bother to read which gate; he had spent enough time there that he had it memorized, and he was fairly certain he would see B3 in his dreams now) he stood up and stretched his back and neck, all of which were sore from the time he had spent sitting in chairs not designed to be sat in nearly as long as he had.
He remained standing, watching the entrance to the room for Smitty whose face he had seen through video calls enough times that he was pretty certain he could recognize it on sight. Minutes ticked by agonizingly slow, slower than time had crawled for the entirety of the day. And then John spotted him, and he stopped breathing.
Smitty didn’t look different than he normally did. He hadn’t gotten his bags yet, seeing as he wasn’t carrying any with him. His hair was ruffled a bit, probably from the flight, and his eyes scanned over the crowd before locking into John’s. A smile split over his face, and John could feel a stupid grin spreading across his own.
“Hey,” Smitty said once he got close enough to John his to be heard, raising his right hand up in an awkward wave.
“Hey,” John replied, returning the wave. They stood there just kinda looking at each other for a few seconds, neither moving as people passed around them. “How was your flight?” John finally asked, breaking the tense silence that was starting to build around them.
“It was okay,” Smitty answered. “Thanks for letting me stay with you, and for picking me up.”
“It’s no problem,” John replied, moving his hand back behind his head. “D’you wanna go get your stuff?”
“Yeah, we should probably do that,” Smitty said with a little laugh before grabbing John’s hand and making his way out of the room, following signs that said baggage pick up. John trailed behind him, ignoring the spark that went through him when Smitty grabbed him. He ignored his hand clasped in Smitty’s, warm and soft and just out of his field of view, and he ignored his stomach doing flips from the contact. Instead, he focused on the back of Smitty’s head, and focused on keeping the same pace as they both hurried through the airport to get Smitty’s things.
It only took a few minutes and a wrong turn or two to get to the baggage collection area, and in that time, the awkwardness between meeting face to face faded away. Still, their hands were held together, and John was almost sad when Smitty let go in order to grab his bags. Until he didn’t. Smitty stopped, his hand held out in front of him, inches away from his bag but still, and John could see why. Swirls of blue and yellow and greens covered his skin, climbing up his arm and fading away just past his elbow. On the back of his hand was a bright pink spiral, tightly woven through the other colors and prominent, as it spun to his knuckles and faded from sight.
John froze too, looking at Smitty’s hand. He knew Smitty was single; knew Smitty would tell him if he had already found his soulmate. And he didn’t remember seeing Smitty with soulmarks before. Which means that at some point in the airport, Smitty had found his soulmate, and by the number of different shades and density of colors, he had met them before. Somewhere in these halls, John thought, was the perfect match for Smitty, and he had probably gotten in the way of them meeting.
While John’s thoughts had raced, Smitty had turned around to face John with a dopey grin splitting his face. “I didn’t know you were gay,” he said, which caused John’s face to fall into a look of confusion. Smitty started laughing. “Take a look at your hand, dumbass.” He reached out and grabbed John’s hand again, this time pulling it up between the both of them at face level. They matched. The patterns, the colors, and the pretty pink spiral John knew symbolized a reciprocated crush from his high school classes, mirrored on their hands. And if their smiles and bright eyes mirrored each other too? It didn’t take a genius to figure out why.

Help To Stop Eating Chocolate
Chocolate has such a decadent taste and feel upon your tongue it can be really hard to resist. Sometimes the fight to desist becomes too much and your taste buds win over your logical thought processes. The sweet blissful chocolate taste remains with you for a little while and then, seemingly in a blink of your eye, it's gone. Then you are left kicking yourself for having given in to your chocolate cravings.
As I am writing this in the early hours of the day I have beside me my mug of coffee and tub of morning cookies. These cookies are seriously special ones, as my friends will attest. I make them myself and they are full of goodies of all descriptions - oatmeal, dried cranberries, chopped nuts and yes, 60% cocoa chocolate chips. There is a generous sprinkling of those delicious chocolate drops in each and every one of these cookies.
My husband and I breakfast on several of these cookies each and every day. We both like to have this sweet taste in the mornings. We need our chocolate fix. We are also similar in that we then no longer think about chocolate for the rest of the day.
Most of our friends find this particular breakfasting habit of our a little quirky to say the least! You will appreciate my surprise when yesterday a friend forwarded to me an article suggesting that one of the best ways in which to help lose weight is to have some chocolate included in your breakfast meal. This new study from Tel Aviv University found that dieters who included a small amount of chocolate in their otherwise balanced breakfast lost more weight and kept it off for longer (the most relevant bit for most of us) than a control group who followed a more traditional diet. There are several suggestions as to why this would be the case, one being that by allowing yourself something sweet you feel less deprived and your overall diet is thus easier to stick to. It may also be that it is better to have the sweet taste at the beginning of the day when your metabolism is high.
Whatever the reasoning might be the result of this study is very interesting for chocoholics. It may well be easier to allow yourself a little chocolate in the morning with breakfast than it is to cut out chocolate altogether. It is definitely worth experimenting with and seeing if this fits in you're your unique personality and behavior type. This change of habit may help you to stop eating too much chocolate as opposed to helping you stop eating chocolate altogether. Another way in which you can help stop eating chocolate is to employ the services of a hypnosis mp3 download. Hypnosis is something that few people think about but it is in fact very effective in triggering and maintaining both thought and behavioral changes. Hypnosis is natural and normal and easy to use. You simply sit back and listen to a hypnosis recording designed to help stop eating chocolate.
As you listen to the hypnosis recording you gain access to your subconscious mind. This is the part of your mind where automatic thought and behavior patterns are stored. Thus with hypnosis it becomes easy to change those patterns and create new and more manageable ones instead. Once again, this is something easy to do that is worth a try for anyone who would like to deal with their out of control chocolate cravings.
