The solution is to stand and sit up straight and sleep in an untwisted position on the back or sides or on the good pain free side with the arms and hands below the shoulders and not under the neck or body; eliminate all dairy, chocolate, MSG, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, street drugs, medications and anything that poisons the body; and take, if prescribed, Armour or Cytomel thyroid medication to raise the body temperature to warm the muscles and joints.


Kind of hard to do, but that's the easiest way I could find.

Can a flower even have a gender and mate? I don't think it's possible.

Henry VIII, born in 1491, was the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. The significance of Henry's reign is, at times, overshadowed by his six marriages: dispensing with these forthwith enables a deeper search into the major themes of the reign. He married Catherine of Aragon (widow of his brother, Arthur) in 1509, divorcing her in 1533; the union produced one daughter, Mary. Henry married the pregnant Anne Boleyn in 1533; she gave him another daughter, Elizabeth, but was executed for infidelity (a treasonous charge in the king's consort) in May 1536. He married Jane Seymour by the end of the same month, who died giving birth to Henry's lone male heir, Edward, in October 1536. Early in 1540, Henry arranged a marriage with Anne of Cleves, after viewing Hans Holbein's beautiful portrait of the German princess. In person, alas, Henry found her homely and the marriage was never consummated. In July 1540, he married the adulterous Catherine Howard - she was executed for infidelity in March 1542. Catherine Parr became his wife in 1543, providing for the needs of both Henry and his children until his death in 1547.
The court life initiated by his father evolved into a cornerstone of Tudor government in the reign of Henry VIII. After his father's staunch, stolid rule, the energetic, youthful and handsome king avoided governing in person, much preferring to journey the countryside hunting and reviewing his subjects. Matters of state were left in the hands of others, most notably Thomas Wolsey, Archbishop of York. Cardinal Wolsey virtually ruled England until his failure to secure the papal annulment that Henry needed to marry Anne Boleyn in 1533. Wolsey was quite capable as Lord Chancellor, but his own interests were served more than that of the king: as powerful as he was, he still was subject to Henry's favor - losing Henry's confidence proved to be his downfall. The early part of Henry's reign, however, saw the young king invade France, defeat Scottish forces at the Battle of Foldden Field (in which James IV of Scotland was slain), and write a treatise denouncing Martin Luther's Reformist ideals, for which the pope awarded Henry the title "Defender of the Faith".

The 1530's witnessed Henry's growing involvement in government, and a series of events which greatly altered England, as well as the whole of Western Christendom: the separation of the Church of England from Roman Catholicism. The separation was actually a by-product of Henry's obsession with producing a male heir; Catherine of Aragon failed to produce a male and the need to maintain dynastic legitimacy forced Henry to seek an annulment from the pope in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Wolsey tried repeatedly to secure a legal annulment from Pope Clement VII, but Clement was beholden to the Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and nephew of Catherine. Henry summoned the Reformation Parliament in 1529, which passed 137 statutes in seven years and exercised an influence in political and ecclesiastic affairs which was unknown to feudal parliaments. Religious reform movements had already taken hold in England, but on a small scale: the Lollards had been in existence since the mid-fourteenth century and the ideas of Luther and Zwingli circulated within intellectual groups, but continental Protestantism had yet to find favor with the English people. The break from Rome was accomplished through law, not social outcry; Henry, as Supreme Head of the Church of England, acknowledged this by slight alterations in worship ritual instead of a wholesale reworking of religious dogma. England moved into an era of "conformity of mind" with the new royal supremacy (much akin to the absolutism of France's Louis XIV): by 1536, all ecclesiastical and government officials were required to publicly approve of the break with Rome and take an oath of loyalty. The king moved away from the medieval idea of ruler as chief lawmaker and overseer of civil behavior, to the modern idea of ruler as the ideological icon of the state.

The remainder of Henry's reign was anticlimactic. Anne Boleyn lasted only three years before her execution; she was replaced by Jane Seymour, who laid Henry's dynastic problems to rest with the birth of Edward VI. Fragmented noble factions involved in the Wars of the Roses found themselves reduced to vying for the king's favor in court. Reformist factions won the king's confidence and vastly benefiting from Henry's dissolution of the monasteries, as monastic lands and revenues went either to the crown or the nobility. The royal staff continued the rise in status that began under Henry VII, eventually to rival the power of the nobility. Two men, in particular, were prominent figures through the latter stages of Henry's reign: Thomas Cromwell and Thomas Cranmer. Cromwell, an efficient administrator, succeeded Wolsey as Lord Chancellor, creating new governmental departments for the varying types of revenue and establishing parish priest's duty of recording births, baptisms, marriages and deaths. Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, dealt with and guided changes in ecclesiastical policy and oversaw the dissolution of the monasteries.

Henry VIII built upon the innovations instituted by his father. The break with Rome, coupled with an increase in governmental bureaucracy, led to the royal supremacy that would last until the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth one hundred years after Henry's death. Henry was beloved by his subjects, facing only one major insurrection, the Pilgrimage of Grace, enacted by the northernmost counties in retaliation to the break with Rome and the poor economic state of the region. History remembers Henry in much the same way as Piero Pasqualigo, a Venetian ambassador: "... he is in every respect a most accomplished prince."

Not just the few first sentences, but...BAM!

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston on January 9, 1809. He was the second of three children born to son of Elizabeth David Poe, Jr. Elizabeth was a semi-popular actress of her times and David Poe, Jr., the son of a revolutionary war hero, left Law School against his family’s advice for a career as an actor. His older brother, William Henry Leonard, “was born on January 30, 1807, just four months after they [his parents] began performing in Boston.” (Silverman 5). Rosalie Poe was born December, 1810. By the time of her birth David had already deserted her. Elizabeth died penniless shortly after on December 8, 1811. [b1]

Elizabeth Arnold was generally considered a genuinely talented singer, actress and dancer although there were some critics who thought her attempts at Shakespeare were; somewhat out of her depth. She “made her in Boston at the age of nine . . . [singing] a new cong called ‘The Market Lass.” (Silverman 1) None-the-less she enjoyed a good reputation in the theatre. Poe was well aware of her limited fame. Despite David’s tenacity, his career was unsuccessful. . His critics found him to be awkward and somewhat incompetent. Edgar’s father disappeared shortly before the birth of Rosalie. Consistent with the mixture of myth and truth that followed Edgar’s life it was suspected that Rosalie may not have been legitimate. This was not confirmed one way or the other but certainly makes the literary and personal iconic figure of Poe that much more of the stuff of a good mystery, a literary genre that owes much to him. According to Silverman, little is known about him from that time forward. Edgar was never to see his father again. It is as if his father’s life was a foreshadowing of his own with one particular difference, Poe was a genuinely talented writer in many genres including, short story, poetry, and criticism. Like his father, his attempts at the role of magazine editor and publisher were simply inconsistent with his character.

Elizabeth tried to maintain the family by continuing her career but, despite good reputation, the money she managed to scrape together was not enough. She became sick and died in Baltimore on October 7, 1849. The children were distributed amongst the family. With an absentee father, no mother and no inheritance the three children had to be split up. Rosalie was taken in by “a Richmond family named Mackenzie.” (11), John and Frances Allen took Edgar and William was sent to his grandparents. For reasons of finance or, Silverman speculates, the promise of a “liberal education” Edgar was to remain with John and Frances Allan, owner and partner in a successful national and international shipping concern. Edgar moved to England in “June 1815 until July 1820 . . . with the Allans . . . [In] December 1826 he studied at the University of Virginia. (Wagenknecht 15)

During Poe’s first stay in England as a child he would receive an education through private tutors with the idea of preparing Edgar for University. He showed a good gift of languages and a genuine love of the written word at a very young age. John Allan brought land in England with the intention of expanding his Virginia business. The venture failed and he received little or no assistance from his partner. This put the family in serious financial straights. William Galt lent them some assistance in order to sustain them through his financial problems. Allan and his family returned to Virginia and worked steadily at repaying his many debts. When Galt died, he inherited a large fortune and immediately settled all old debts.

Meanwhile Edgar was on his way to the University of Virginia funded by John Allen. However, the money was not enough to sustain Edgar at the University. The University lacked discipline and was reflected in the behavior of the students and the professors. During his one year stay there he managed to accumulate a substantial amount of debts that Allan steadfastly refused to repay. This began a long life of debtors pursuing him and increased financial problems. Further, Edgar’s choice of studies did not impress Allan. Allan believed that Poe’s education was to be more utilitarian and prepare him for the business realities of what he perceived to be the real world. Meanwhile, Edgar showed a particularly strong gift in the arts and languages and a desire to be a

It was most likely in Baltimore that Poe began his transformation from a poet to a writer of imaginative short stories. By 1831, Poe had published three collections of his poems, with little financial and only minor critical success. Although poetry clearly was and would remain his first love, it seemed obvious that Poe would need to expand his bag of tricks if he hoped to make a living as a writer. (EAP Society)

John Allan considered such a life an idle luxury and did little to support Poe’s aspirations. The tensions between them grew. Edgar stayed only one year at the University of Virginia because of debt leaving him no recourse other than to work for father. This was nothing less than a disaster and eventually prompted Edgar to relocating to the north. To understand the depth of this tension and the reticence of John Allan to acknowledge his son’s literary talents we need not look very far. On or about December 15, 1831, Edgar sent a letter pleading for his fathers help to keep him out of prison. “In Baltimore where the debts laws were strict . . . it was a serious matter. (Mankowitz 81). His father wrote a letter agreeing to help him and send him $20.00 above that in order to see to his needs but was “so ambivalent . . . he forgot to sent to send it until some five weeks later.” (81).

Poe’s literary genius, his life was plagued by rumors of drunkenness, deep debt and moral instability. Despite winning some minor awards for his short story mystery “The Gold Bug,” the success of the Raven which he practically gave away for a few pounds and the success of his ground-breaking work The Murder at Rue Morgue he never achieved the respect as an author until after his death. Part of this was indeed due to his erratic behavior. Whatever judgments might be passed on Poe there is no argument that he was indeed a literary genius. He created the mystery genre, contributed to much of the gothic horror genre, and wrote critiques of writing technique that illustrated an in-depth understanding of classical and contemporary themes. To the present day his work is studied by some of those in the field of psychology, philosophy and modern literary criticism because of Poe’s curious insights—dark and ominous though they may be—into the inner workings of the human psyche. Perhaps the greatest testament to his aesthetic sense is the popularity of the mystery and the attention he continues to receive from literary, philosophic and psychoanalytic scholars and practitioners. He was indeed the tortured artist both from within and without. A “three-foot high, white Italian marble tablet . . . with the following epitaph: "Hic Tandem Felicis Conduntur Reliquae. Edgar Allan Poe, Obiit Oct. VII 1849." Marks his grave site: "Here, at last, he is happy. Edgar Allan Poe, died Oct. 7, 1849."(EA Poe Society)
