Haggis, neeps and tatties a true celebratio!
Born to a family of poor tenant farmers Burns started his life in Alloway, Scotland. He is most commonly known as Rabbie Burns or The Bard. Scotland is rightly pround of it's most famous poet.
Thanks to his fathers perserverence Burns reeceived an education despite his poor background.
When his father passed away in 1784, Burns and his brother took over the farm. Farming wasn't something that came naturally to Burns and he moved away from it towards writing, publishing his first poem in 1786. Burns emergence onto Edinburgh's literary sceen, brought him fame but not fortune. To supplement his meagre income he also worked as an excise man, collecting taxes. As well as hundreds of poems burns also contributed to over 400 songs.
Romance was one of the central themes in Burns work and he had many romantic liaisons. It was his first love, Nelly Kirkpatrick, who inspired him to try his hand at poetry. There is much speculation about how many children Burns fathered; most believe it is twelve, from four different women, while others think it could be as many as fourteen by six different women. His last son, Maxwell, was born on the day he was buried. Burns died from rheumatic fever at the age of 37.
The ritual of a Burns' supper was established by his friends a few years after his death in 1796. Burns Suppers take place on the 25th January, the anniversary of Burns birth. Most Burns suppers follow a traditional format. The evening starts with the host welcoming the guests and once everyone is seated the host delivers the Selkirk Grace. The grace is written in Scots language - the selkirk grace was famously delivered by Burn's although it wasn't in fact written by him.
At larger and more formal occasions the chef is led in by a piper. Either the host or another willing volunteer then gives the Ode To The Haggis, one of Burns poems. When they reach the line an cut you up wi ready slight, the first cut is made into the haggis. It is also common for guests to toast the haggis, with a dram of whisky. Women often wear items in their own family tartan such as skirts, sashes and scarves as wel as celtic jewellery. The Immortal Memory; then a guest will talk about burns as an inspiration to Scottish culture. Then follows a toast to the lasses from the men including a few good natured gibes for the amusement of the party, then the ladies take their turn and respond in kind with their own humerous remarks about male characteristics. Other Burns poems and songs are sung during the evening. At the end of the supper the guests stand, link arms and sing Auld Lang Syne - Burns' world famous song which is also sung on New Year's Eve.
For devotees of Burns, there are two distinct which can be worn in celebration of his life and works one is the and the other is the Burns Commerative tartan.

What type of poem is “Death, Be Not Proud”?
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest out best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou'rt slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be more: Death, thou shalt die.
What type of poem is “Death, Be Not Proud”?
A. Narrative
B. Reflective
B. Reflective
D. Discursive

Christmas for One: Mental Health Over the Holidays
My dear friend, poet Dessa Byrd Reed, often spends holidays alone as a widow. However, she doesn’t see this, as many people often do, as a depressing circumstance. In a November 2000 POETIC VOICES interview, she said, “Because I am single and live alone, I eat out a lot. I love to talk to strangers. That's one of my favorite things. I go out for breakfast and talk to people.”
Another talented writer, Leslie Lafayette, dealt with being a childless woman by choice in WHY DON’T YOU HAVE KIDS?: Living a Full Life Without Parenthood. You can bet that because of her choice many people would pity her. She writes the “Alone Again, Naturally” column for the outstanding magazine THE DESERT WOMAN. Observers might conclude she’s miserable on the holidays.
Both Leslie and Dessa have full lives and radiate Christmas cheer, not just in December but all year round. While we all need human contact, it’s a mistake to conclude that people without the traditional family dinner are all on suicide watch. Anyone who has negotiated where to have Christmas and which family members can come when, not to mention refereed in-law and spouse disputes, knows that the allure of having a table for one at Christmas is powerful.
However, when people aren’t alone by choice, Christmas can be lonely. In Michigan, I interviewed a woman, the founder of a divorced and widowed support group, who chose to have Christmas dinner every year for lonely widows, widowers and divorced people, usually from her support group. Her children understood that she needed to start this new tradition in her new life.
Similarly, having children around, even with the relentless gimmes and commercialism, lends a special magic to Christmas, which is why playing Santa appeals to so many.
The holidays can be joyous if you’re alone, or they can be difficult. As with so much, your feelings depend on your personality, your circumstances, your childhood, and in many cases on medical or psychological conditions.
Some tips to remember if you’re alone or without your support system:
*Take advantage of counseling services in your community, including from your local church, synagogue, temple or other place of worship.
*Take time out for spirituality. You might attend services just to experience human contact and community. People are generally nicer at Christmas.
*Do all the things you wanted to do but couldn’t in your former life. Travel. Even in this post-9/11 world, you can visit faraway places. There are many tour groups for singles.
*Attend art walks, holiday concerts, lectures, and movie screenings alone. Or invite a friend you haven’t talked to in a while.
*Volunteer—it’s a wonderful way to make friends, stay active, and feel fulfilled.
*Go out to dinner alone! While women in particular feel uncomfortable, project an air of confidence. You are a strong, vital woman. This doesn’t mean that you should go bar-hopping or take risks alone at night. But you have the right to ask for a table for one without feeling as though people are judging you. (Most people are too preoccupied with their own lives to notice.)
*Gather a circle of friends or people in the same situation—just make sure the evening doesn’t turn into a pity party.
*Don’t overdrink, overeat or do drugs. It’s just not a good tradition.
*Bake cookies if you’re so inclined. Cookies make wonderful Christmas presents and ways to reconnect with your friends.
You may be tempted to think of yourself as Ebenezer Scrooge. Don’t, and boil anyone in his own pudding who calls you “Scrooge.” You are honoring Christmas in your own heart and keeping it always. Christmas for one, anyone?

Body kits – maximize the impact
A famous poem asked people to forgo a life full of worry and care. And to find time to simply stare at things in everyday life. Because in the hustle bustle of daily lives we all too easily miss out on the simple pleasures and joy of living. And each generation read that poem, agreed with the poet and found time to stand and stare at things. And often they stood and stared at cars. New cars and old cars, big cars and small cars.
Cars have always been an object that people enjoy looking at. The more unusual and appealing the design the more they are inclined to stand and stare at the car. Now you may feel the top priority of your car is take you comfortably from one place to another. But that priority is a given nowadays because the competitive market ensures the cars perform their core functions very well.
That means you can now focus on your car and find out how good it is to simply stand and stare at. Mind you it is not just the stares which the car gets. People will judge you by your car and even a casual glance will remain in the observer's memory and have an impact on the impression you make.
So if it is impact you want you should consider body kits. You can impact the onlookers with the style, color, graphics and material of the body kits. They will transform your car and it will no longer be a boring old stock car. It will rock and have “you” written all over it.
Car body kits are not very expensive, therefore you will not feel you are being a spendthrift when you buy them. And they will pay you back in terms of an improved image and greater self belief. It is a thin line between living a life that barely meets ones needs and living a life of contentment and joy. Body kits help you cross that line without incurring a big expense.
You can easily buy body kits online where you can get images and details quickly and conveniently. You can know more at www.ilovebodykits.com
