There's a Petition To Let Florida Secede From the Union
Love it or leave it.
It appears there are at least a few thousand Floridians out there who hate the United States of America so much in the wake of Obama's reelection that they want to pull Florida out of the Union.
WhiteHouse.gov has this neat feature where citizens can submit petitions. If they get a certain amount of signatures with in the allotted time the White House actually issues an official response.
Well, after Obama's reelection several petitions asking for the rights for states (including Florida) to secede have popped up.
Peacefully grant the State of Florida to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
We the people of the great state of Florida, do see that in today's world the Federal Government has not led our citizens justly and with honor. We therefore as free men and women of our great state do believe that it is time to take matter upon ourselves to ensure our continued freedom, and to enact our own laws and here buy govern ourselves without the federal government's involvement in our internal matters from this day forward.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

At the moment, 6,354 people have signed the petition. Though, if you scroll down you'll see there are a lot of people not actually from Florida signing on.
Come on guys, that's sort of passive aggressive and rude. I mean, I'm sure these out-of-staters are signing this because they hate Obama or whatever, but it kind of comes off a little like, "Yeah, screw Florida. Let 'em leave."
For those real Floridians who actually signed this: Um, do you really want a President Rick Scott? Think about that, OK.
Anyway, if anyone wants to start a petition that would allow for South Florida to secede from the rest of the state, we'll totally sign that.

Edward Masen is a former NFL football player who was injured and could not return to playing. After taking some time off to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, since playing football was out of the question, he decided to go with coaching high school football. He leads a simple, quiet life with his friends in Forks until he meets the woman that will change his life forever. Bella Swan decides to move back home with her younger brother when she gets a teaching position at her old school in Forks. AH/Canon Couples/alternating between Edward and Bella POV. Rated M ;)
Huge thanks to Jessica1971 for being my beta once again. I could not do this without her. :)
Thank you to Heatherdawnc for making another terrific banner for me. =)
This is so many kinds of fun, romantic, and wonderful that I'm head over heels in love with this! WOO-HOO Bella! Go get him!
Like it? No. I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT. I swear I just got the chills remembering ""You're mine, Bella... forever... I'll never... baby, I'll never want anyone else.".
Thank you so much for writing something as beautiful as this. You did your story a great justice.
I absolutely love the intensity and romance of their relationship. I can't wait for them to profess their love for each other. It's going to be amazing.
Now that I have a second to write you, I HAVE TO THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the amazing number of updates this had in like a day! It took me quite a while to catch up, and I'm so sorry I didn't review each and every chapter. I just kept on reading and reading like one long enormous post. So please accept my apology and allow me the honor of reviewing:
I absolutely love this story. B&E's relationship is so realistic that it's a refreshing change from some out there that just scream disbelief. I love how Edward is so desperate for Bella, as she is for him.
And now I am completely horrified for our poor Bella, being forced to endure the unbearable scrutiny of Edward's world.
I hope you update soon as after so many chapter reads I'm going through a bad case of withdrawal! LOL!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and now pray you have a Happy New Year!
This was so gorgeously romantic that I had such a dreamy look on my face that my husband had to ask what was wrong with me! LOL!
Sigh. I'm gonna read it again.
It's 1941, and Bella Swan lives in the US territory of Hawaii with her father, Admiral Charlie Swan. Bella and Edward Cullen grew up together and were best friends until a falling out when they were 12. Now both 18, Edward and Bella come back together after realizing their intense attraction and feelings for each other. Just as their passions are coming to fruition, tragedy strikes and the United States is thrust into World War II. Edward, already bound for the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, is duty-bound to fight and defend his country.
Will Edward and Bella's love be enough to see them through one of the most trying times in history?
This was a wonderfully emotional and powerful chapter. You make it incredibly easy to imagine and understand what the life of a young wife was like with a husband in the military, particularly back in the 1940s when options for women were much more limited.
Edward's harsh outburst towards Bella was truly heart breaking and jarring. I physically felt it and instantly fell more in love with this story. That one scene brought forth a supplication from Edward that was honest, sincere, and disarming. His desperation for Bella is at odds with his sense of duty, and I for one am begging you for the EPOV of that final scene.
I can't wait to read more.
Edward is truly having a difficult time balancing his life with Bella with his military responsibilities. That he is forbidden from talking to her about it is tearing him apart. She's his best friend and the person he's closest to in the world and he wants nothing more than to unburden himself to her.
These kids are so young and so much in love and it breaks my heart that they're having such a difficult time with their marriage, especially knowing that had there been no war, they would be blissful with each other.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the EPOV. Oddly enough, I think I'm more comfortable writing Edward in general. Go figure. Unplanned, The onshot I wrote from EPOV, came much easier to me than any chapter of FH.
Thank you for reading and for taking the time to review.
I only just discovered this story and am so grateful that I did. I went back and read your INFAMY, and in doing so coming to appreciate FINDING HOME all the more.
This chapter was positively heart breaking. I cried with Bella, and I loved every minute of it.
Will you consider doing an EPOV chapter? Perhaps an EPOV story to accompany this one? Your writing is so beautiful that I am certain the Edward's pov would be devastingly wonderful. Please consider it.
I'm so glad you like my story so far. Nice reviews like this make the time I spend writing more than worth it.
The EPOV question is a tough one for me to answer, but I will say this. This is Bella's story. If an EPOV fits in with how I need to tell her story, then I'll do it. Otherwise, the story will be from her perspective.
Thanks for takin gthe time to read and review.
This chapter positively broke my heart. I cried for our Bella. It was truly beautiful writing. I can't wait to read Edward's letter. Sigh...
I know, poor Bella. But the worst of her grief for Charlie id behind her, so things will be looking up next chapter.
Check your PMs for the teaser from Edward's letter.
Thanks for taking the time to read and review.
This chapter was positively riveting! I loved the passion, the tenderness, the danger, and the lust. It was wonderfully hypnotic and I cannot wait for more. WOW.
Thanks so much! It was my first attempt at "action," so to speak, so I'm glad it came off well.
I am so incredibly grateful for this chapter. It's made me feel so much better about this story. It's just so nice to finally enjoy the 'hope' in it.
Thank you.
Sorry my reply is so late in coming.
I'm so glad you found this outtake a satisfying end to the story. There is hope, and something beautiful, I think, in the imperfection of their lives. They love each other and despite what they've been through, that's what will get them through anything life hands them in the future.
Thank you for reading and for taking the time to review. One more outtake to come that will post under Finding Liberty.
I am devastated. Absolutely devastated.
Oh Bella. Oh Edward.
With this devastating cliffhanger, the wait for April 12th is going to be TORTURE.
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight. Edward and Bella's families knew they would be perfect for each other. But will the two of them see it?
I love stories that just make you so damn happy.
THIS is one of them.
Please post more asap. I just love every word.
Bella and Edward were best friends for years. When Bella finally decides to tell him that she has fallen in love with him, it's too late and he is to marry someone else. Human AU.
This has got to be the cutest thing I've ever read: "It's okay. I'll be your friend, Bella." He smiled and that's when I realized I needed to make him my husband. I had seen on the Disney channel that two people fall in love instantly once the lady meets her Prince Charming. At that moment, I was sure that Edward was my prince and he would save me from harm."
Please post more asap. I can't wait to read what happens with these two.
aww. You quoted something I had written. That made me all cheezy, cant stop smiling now. hehe. Thank you so much for your review. This truly means a lot to me. Next chapter should be up soon.
There are more secrets to the 'new girl in school' than even a family of vampires could have foreseen. What could the irresistible Bella Swan be hiding? There is more to the golden eyed girl than anyone could have expected.
THAT ending was just freakin' C.R.U.E.L.
But oh soooo deliciious!
When Bella and Edward meet the first day of High School, he is a chubby misfit with no friends in a new town, aside from his popular cousins. He meets Bella Swan, a well-liked, if uncoordinated, local with problems of her own. This is the story of their friendship, their loss, their love and destruction. Can they find their way back to each other? And can they survive the changes they have both gone through since the fateful day they met?
HUGE THANKS TO ATHENALOVE and READERGOOF FOR THE AMAZING BANNERS!
I positively love how much FUN I had with this chapter. It caught me by surprise, as did the intense and possessive sex up against the wall! WOO-HOO!
God, I think that's the first time I've ever WOO-HOO'd with this story.
Now on a more practical note, I am of the camp that understands Edward's need to unload his guilt via email. What other choice does he have? She won't talk to him. I support him in his confession, although I am certain it will devastate Bella all the same. I pray a phone conversation arises from this exchange. Something, please.
But I must say that I really hope it doesn't take months or, God forbid, years, as one reviewer put it, for E&B to get better and reunite. That would be just pure torture for all parties involved, ourselves included.
Btw, thank you for making my heart stop with the opening scene of Edward naked in bed while someone not-Bella was brewing coffee in the kitchen....my heart broke, but then went wild with joy when Alice came through the door. SWEET RELIEF!
Godspeed, Darlin'.
I can't say much, Edward. My senses are muddled along with yours, my heart up in arms at the reality of desolation and devastation.
There isn't much to say, only this: to hold her, you have to let her go. Such is the way of things.
And all you can do now is weather the storm, ride out it's turbulent and pounding waves, and pray for it's mercy.
Close your eyes and pray.
The doubt was enough.
It was enough, Edward. Enough to threaten your sanity, enough to risk your happiness, enough to jeopardize her heart. But you rebelled against it, and in doing so, you have achieved salvation.
Yes, you should've first worried about her. No, you should not have doubted her love and devotion...ONCE AGAIN. But you did. And while that will and should make you feel guilty and ashamed, you should instead revel in the fact that you fought temptation...and WON.
Your instincts no longer pushed you to weakness and abandonment, but rather guided you to redemption and introspection.
You won, Edward. Your soul won.
She is not lost.
She is still yours, as you are hers.
This chapter has affected me. It's passion, need, and desire have consumed me. And I have yet to recover my stolen heart, for it trembles in the wake of this most glorious of love scenes.
My mind cannot form the sweet and celebratory phrases I need to bestow on you for writing this at last, at so very long last.
I am so very much affected.
I am so very grateful.
And I am so very much relieved.
Oooh, this has the makings to be good one. A REAL GOOD ONE. Can't wait for more. I'm seriously intrigued here.
HEY! So great to see you here. Thanks for the vote of confidence, we are so excited about this story, it is unbelievable! Keep your eyes open for more!
I am so excited about this story. Not only is it authored by 2 of my all time favorite writers, but it's already got it all: intrigue, humor, emotion, and longing. All the fixings for one hell of an epic love story.
Everything is so wonderfully descriptive and detailed, that I have absolutely no difficulty in imagining a 'chubby 14 year old Edward'. And that's saying something! LOL!
Please post more asap. I'm just dying to see B&E's relationship flourish. MORE!
Wow! Thank you so much! We're are so honoured by the feedback we're getting - and being called two of someone's favourite authors blows us away! Amazing. Seriously!
LOL on Chubward! We so love him and we're glad he's believeable! There is something about seeing Edward as flawed in any way that makes him so ... real. Which makes the entire story more real.
We'll have the Bella chapter out next week!
Thanks so much for your support and review!
What I think was most ingenius about your writing was the fact that your first chapter gave us a very interesting and harsh glimpse at B&E's future. With every subsequent word, I remember that pivotal scene where Edward sees Bella again, all beautiful and sensual, and Bella sees Edward, all gorgeous and divine. In choosing to give us that brief glimpse into their future, you enabled us to experience both hope and, at the same time, lament for what is undoubtedly to become a passionate yet heartbreaking relationship.
I love every single word and cannot wait for more.
Wow. How eloquently put? That is a lot of what we wanted you to see. The hope of what they become, and the shame of what they became. What could have been, did become and what could still happen. No where near as concise, but we're glad we got the point across!
We're so glad you are reading and reviewing!
"Euphoria. She was untouched. I could be her only. Mine."
To own and be owned is one of the greatest things a person can experience, so long that you own the very being who owns you in return. Such completion is a miracle in itself. It gives a life purpose, a reason for being, and an answer to every question that rumbles beneath one's surface.
Fate can take hold of one's path in life, twist it, bend it, very nearly break it so that it's will is made permanent, etched into the fabric of one's experiences, successes, and even follies. At times it seems cruel in the pain it inflicts, the agony it lays bare before you. As you wander through life, it is these agonies that often shape the people we become, the shapes our souls take, yielding to fate's every push and pull. But it is not until something wonderful happens, not until we experience true wonder and awe at a turn of events in our lives that force us to bow to fate's design and applaud it's role in our happiness, that we revel in fate's existence at all. We become blind, deaf, and dumb to the reason for why things happen at all. Especially that which brings us pain and grief.
But beyond the pain, beyond the hurt, and beyond the despair, one's true purpose lays in waiting….waiting to be claimed.
First comes the why. Then follows the how. But it is the journey in reaching the answers to our purpose that true discovery and majesty can be found.
Euphoria. Just when you least expect it.
Aww Isabel, your reviews so totaly own my ass. You spout poetic and I am all mush.
You see it so clearly, that he seeks her for completion and hopes that she might want him in return, that maybe she has only ever wanted him. Whereas he tried to fill the void she left, she let the void fill her, and maybe then can heal each other and get past this.
Thank you so much!
Another glorious chapter. I loved just how emotional and intense it was. Edward's reaction to Bella's desperate cry for help was moving and inspiring. It also filled me with hope for the direction in which this story is heading.
I especially found Charlie's plea to Edward heart breaking and devastating. That was a beautifully written scene and I applaud you for it.
This has, in such a short time, come to be a strong favorite of mine. I've already come to need it, and DEAR SWEET BABY JESUS, it's ONLY Chapter 4!!!!

The Guardian Children's Fiction Prize 2013 was a battle between the UK and the US. Two of the shortlisted authors were British. Two were American. Which country would emerge victorious...? And the winner was… Rebecca Stead, American author of the amazing Liar & Spy.
As she accepted her prize, Stead spoke of how honoured she was to be there and told us how much everyone everywhere admired the Guardian's dedication to books – even saying, "yeah, clap!" when people began to applaud during her praises.
Also at the party were winners of the young critics' competition, who had reviewed the long- and shortlisted books. She thanked the children for being there, for reading books and writing about what they had read – for loving books as much as they all obviously do. Children are, she said, her target audience and therefore she wished that more of them take reading seriously enough to review books – adults' opinions, however, are only needed "a little bit'!
Andy Mulligan, one of this year's judges and a previous winner of the prize, introduced us to all the amazing books on the shortlist, was instructed to keep his speech to "under five minutes". I don't think he quite managed that, but I loved it anyway.
He said we were in a "golden age" of children's fiction. Personally, I couldn't agree more. As a blogger, I've found that I'm never short of brilliant books to read.
He said Liar & Spy "seemed to illuminate something so special": the "agonies of the day to day, the courage needed for children in certain circumstances". He called the book a "jewel" and said the the judges were unanimous in choosing it as the winner.
After the award ceremony, I managed to steal a few moments with the lovely Rebecca Stead in between autographs. She told me that Liar & Spy started with an "emotion" inspired by the feeling you get when you're leaving "elementary school" – that's primary school to us Brits – and are going out into the big, "less kind" world.
I may have gushed a little here, telling her that she perfectly captured that feeling and that everyone everywhere can relate to this. She said she had tried to capture a true-to-life story – "perfectly ordinary" in some aspects but "magnificent" in others.
When I asked her to compare Liar & Spy to her previous book, When You Reach Me, she said this was really a different task – Liar & Spy had no big "aha!" moment at the end, but instead she wanted it to "resonate emotionally". Well, Rebecca, in all of these hopes I can say that your mission was accomplished!
Now once again, I'm lost for words to describe the shortlisted books. But after listening to Andy Mulligan and talking to some of the young reviewers, I think I know where to start.
David Almond's The Boy Who Swam With Piranhas was the first on the list. Almond is a name familiar to children all over Britain – he is, after all, a "veteran writer". I, much like Andy, adore David for his incredible diversity – the fact that he just "keeps on breaking his own mould", as Andy put it. Andy also described The Boy Who Swam With Piranhas as "beautifully accessible" and a "truly exciting, short, beautifully written, strange fairytale" that will have you "laughing out loud". From what I've read – both of the book and of various reviews – I could not agree more with his description. Another David Almond masterpiece!
Now, since John Green couldn't be there, and I didn't interview anyone who had read The Fault in Our Stars, I'll say a few things myself. People have been saying that teenagers shouldn't read The Fault In Our Stars – a book about death, cancer and the inevitability of the end. These people are insane.
As Andy said, children and teenagers need to read about these things – and they want to read about them too. We do want to "press against the glass" and see what it's like to live with a terrible disease that will inevitably kill you. We don't want our world censored; when the world is censored, we don't encounter the intense and overwhelming emotions such as those in The Fault In Our Stars. Yes, it's disturbing and devastating and sad. But it is also funny, witty and just so clever. It is totally deserving of its place on the shortlist – and on the bookshelves of millions of children all over the world. My friend Nina, another book blogger, who came with me this year, also adores TFIOS. In fact, she calls it one of those perfect books that you just can't find the words to do justice to.
Lucy Doig, who won a young critics award with her review of Rooftoppers, had travelled all the way down from Scotland to be at the ceremony. She told me that Rooftoppers was a book she "really, really enjoyed"; it was about all different kinds of friendship. Andy Mulligan also praised Rooftoppers for the "beautiful, pure relationship" between a girl and her father-like figure, the "compelling and overwhelming" writing and also how "beautifully witty and beautifully funny" it was.
And finally we get to Liar and Spy and Lottie Walden, another of the winning young critics, who had come in early to interview Rebecca for the Guardian children's books podcast. Lottie stunned me completely: she had read all of the books – on the long- and shortlist. I think I may have even been speechless when she told me this, something that doesn't happen often!
She told me that Liar & Spy was one of those books that you pick and don't want to put down and that she was ecstatic that it had won. What first appears to be a simple Enid Blyton-like story is, in fact, so much more than it seems.
However, much like last year, I was being as much of a book addicted fangirl as the young reviewers! How can one not be when confronted with the likes of Patrick Ness and Philip Ardagh? I also caught up with a few publishers I know only by name and the illustrator-author Alice Lickens, who won the Sendak Fellowship and designed the gorgeous artwork that lined the room.
And on top of this, I chatted to some of the amazing nominated authors. I spoke to the lovely Sally Gardiner, whose book Maggot Moon was longlisted for the prize. I absolutely adore Sally and have since the very first time I read one of her books, a long, long time ago when I was about ten.
It was lovely catching up with her and I loved picking her brains about Maggot Moon – it's such an amazing book and even though I adore Liar and Spy too, I'm really sad that Maggot Moon didn't win. When I asked Sally what she hoped her book would do, she said that she hopes it will make children think and question the world they live in – and that it will make them appreciate the freedom they have today. Well I don't know about anyone else, but it definitely made me think – it still haunts me now, months after I finished it.
She also wanted to highlight "how bad" it is for dyslexic children at the moment – both Sally and Maggot Moon's main character Standish are dyslexic, or "picture thinkers", as Sally calls them. While seeing Sally Gardener again was a highlight enough, her saying "I love your blog" just made my night!
I also caught up with Lydia Syson, who again I've met before. Her book, World Between Us, was longlisted and again is one that I adore. She told me that she was thrilled to have been nominated – especially as hers was the only debut novel on the list! She also gave me the genius idea of taping all my interviews – it definitely saved my poor hand!
Even though I didn't get a chance to meet them, I must mention the final books on the longlist: After Tomorrow by Gillian Cross and The Wall by William Sutcliffe. Both are dystopian-esque books – which shows the trend we book lovers have towards all things dystopian: The Hunger Games, Delirium, Divergent, and now After Tomorrow and The Wall. I have to admit, I haven't actually read these, but I love Gillian Cross and, even though as a book lover and reviewer it is against my nature to judge a book purely because of this, The Wall has a gorgeous cover!
Well, as you can probably tell, I had a wonderful time and if the amount of laughter from the young reviewers was anything to go by, they did too. Admittedly, I didn't talk to quite as many people this year. I blame all the yummy cake!
But I won't leave you on that. Instead, I'll end on a quote from the amazing Rebecca Stead: she says one of the best things about the authors' community is how they "raise each other up and take care of each other and inspire each other on a daily basis". Well, Rebecca, trust me when I say that us readers are inspired by people like you just as much and that we all hope you and everyone else on the long list keep on writing such amazing books and keep on inspiring us.

Where's a good place to find AR-15 parts? I'm looking at getting a stripped upper, finding a BCG, charging handle (that one shouldn't be hard) and etc. Is there somewhere that y'all could point me towards? Thanks in advance.

Palmetto State Armory, Bravo Company, G&R Tactical, Operation Parts. I've bought from all of them except for PSA. I had some things I was going to get from them but they were out of stock so I altered my plans and did something else.
I got a real deal on my Magpul CTR stock from Operation Parts. They also have a great selection of Daniel Defense parts. They have fast shipping too which is always great.
I don't know about how everyone else does things but if you get an upper from Bravo, they will give you all kinds of freebie extras (case candy, if you will). Mine came with posters, DVDs (2 training videos), stickers and a hat.

When it comes to actual rifle parts, my first stop in BCM. For accessories, I like MidwayUSA, Aim Surplus, G&R Tactical, and BCM as well.
Brownells has a great selection and has wonderful customer service as well. They are expensive though and with the exception of a few things, expect to pay top dollar for it if you get it from Brownells. I say that because recently I acquired some 5.56 ammo from them and they actually had a very reasonable deal when compared to what everyone else is charging for the exact same thing.
They also have a great selection of tools that you might want to acquire if you plan to build some ARs.
Was going to say brownells til defcon mentioned it,

If you want to find many of them all in one place. BROWNELL'S in Iowa.
One advantage of buying at Brownell's is that if you make a boo-boo & order the wrong part or even if you try to fit a part and "mess up" you may return anything no questions asked & get a refund.
Absolutely request their physical paper catalog because their website is a slight P.I.T.A. to negotiate since they stock so many firearm related items.
For the 1911 and the AR they actually have sample firearms pictured along with all of the parts from the various manufacturers listed and so you can select the configuration that you like and start from there.

Hi, my wife and I enjoyed the Epic very much. We had a great time and enjoyed every part of the boat. The only thing that was a little skeptical, was the small rooms or cabin. Although we had an inside, compare to the other boats or cruises we been on, it was def the smallest. Other then that, Maggie and I enjoyed ourselves, from the 24 hour food availability to the rides on the tube. Thumbs up for sure!!!!

But there's more to The Long Firm than well-observed cultural reanimation. Into this most macho of literary forms, Arnott slyly injects a camp and playful sensibility. The central character is the forbidding figure of Harry Starks, a homosexual gang boss who bears more than a passing resemblance to Ronnie Kray. Starks, notorious for his sadism, his manic depression, his love of young boys and the music of Judy Garland, is a compelling figure whose charm and ruthlessness pulls all sorts of characters into his dangerous orbit.
The novel describes the trajectory of Harry's life from the early 1960s to 1979, but it is divided into five successive sections, each narrated by a different character. It is a structure that is elegantly labyrinthine: Harry might be central to the text but remains elusive and enigmatic throughout, a Minotaur lurking forever in the shadows.
Arnott is in his element as he re-creates the multi-faceted social and cultural circles of pre-swinging London. There's a Diana Dors-esque blonde actress whose stuttering career occasionally crosses into prostitution; or the corrupt, homosexual Tory politician Lord Thursby, recently elevated to the House of Lords but whose hunger for easy cash leads him to accept Harry's dubious favours with predictably unfortunate consequences. Only in the final chapter does the novel move outside its mid-Sixties milieu as Harry, incarcerated at Her Majesty's pleasure, takes up study as a means of keeping himself sane. In a triumphantly hilarious conclusion, the second-rate sociologist who arrives to teach Harry finds himself intellectually out-muscled by his Foucault-reading pupil who then blackmails his hapless tutor into helping him flee the country.
The novel's finest moment occurs in its mid-section when the narration is assumed by the gangster Jack "the Hat" McVitie, a washed-up former associate of the Kray twins who is moving inexorably towards his nemesis at the hands of Ronnie and Reggie. A genuine tour de force, this chapter sees Arnott indulging his love of the minor details of the period as Jack staggers through his final days, delivering pills, getting high on speed and stumbling through town making all the wrong enemies. In a particularly witty touch, Arnott has the unfortunate dealer influencing the burgeoning youth culture of the times: as Jack jigs his way through various night- clubs, delivering purple hearts, french blues and black bombers to the kids while feeling paranoid about his baldness just when the whole world is growing its hair, he comes across the nascent ska scene and its skinhead followers, who are so impressed with Jack's old-school gangster style that they appropriate his signature pork pie hat for their own look.
In an episode reminiscent of the movie Performance, this chapter also features a darkly comic LSD trip, as Jack comes badly unstuck when he tries acid with some posh hippies in Hampstead. In fact there's more than a touch of Nic Roeg and Doug Cameron's film about this excellent novel, with its psychotic gay gangsters, lairy mobsters living large, and the tricky games it plays with character and narrative. And like Performance, Arnott has achieved something very rare with The Long Firm: he has created a crime story that owes very little to the American practitioners who traditionally dominate the form. Instead he has created a gangster story every bit as cool, stylish and venomous as the London in which it is set, an English original, streetwise in its lingo, and as sharp and lethal as a Savile Row lapel.

If your child has one leg that's shorter than the other, he or she has a condition called leg length discrepancy. The difference in leg length can range from a half inch up to 2 ½ inches.
The greater the difference in leg length, the more a child must alter his or her normal posture and walking pattern. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, such as functional scoliosis, and hip, knee and ankle problems.
There are generally two types of leg length discrepancies:

SANDAKAN (Bernama) – The Sabah Forestry Department (JPS) has demolished 11 houses built illegally in the mangrove forest in the district in a second operation against such squatters.
JPS director Datuk Sam Mannan said yesterday five people were also arrested during the integrated operation against the squatters on Sept 29.
This second operation against the squatters was carried out in four locations, namely Sekong Kecil; Sedungor; Sepinong and Papahan, on the fringe of Sandakan Bay and the Elopura (Class V) Mangrove Forest Reserve, he said in a statement.
He said three unoccupied houses were demolished in Sekong Kecil, three (with five occupants) in Sedungor and five (unoccupied) in Sepinong.
One newly-built house with five occupants was detected in Papahan, he added.
Sam said the encroached area of the settlement was estimated at 17.3 hectares, including two hectares that were discovered in the second raid.
A total of 130 personnel, 80 from JPS and 50 from enforcement agencies, took part in the operation, he said.
He said a forest rehabilitation project, involving the cultivation of suitable mangrove plants, would be carried out at the site of the illegal settlement soon.
The first operation against the squatters was conducted on May 26. Thirteen squatters were arrested and 88 illegal houses were demolished.

New Year Contentment
A wealthy executive came to northern Michigan on vacation for
Christmas vacation. He visited museums, skied, and did some sight
seeing. He rented a cabin in a quaint little village. Every
morning he would hear a chopping noise. After several days he walked
a small path through the woods and found a man chopping wood. The
man had several rosy-cheeked children playing about in the snow.
His pretty wife was helping load his truck.
The wealthy executive asked the man "why do you chop wood every
The man answered, "Well, we heat with wood, and I sell enough
wood to feed our family."
"Well, you only chop wood for two hours a day, what do you do
the rest of the time?"
"Well, I sleep late, I chop a little wood, I play with my
children, we eat food we harvested from our garden, we go fishing
and hunting, and we take the children down to the beach in the
summertime. In the evenings we sing and strum the guitar. Sundays
we take a day off and attend church. It's a great life"
"You know, I think I can help you."
"How's that?"
"I'm here on vacation from downstate and own a big company.
Believe me, I know how to make money. When you make money, you can
go anywhere you like. If you spend more time cutting wood, you
could be rich! All you have to do is hire a crew, buy some bigger
equipment - an ax is a bit out dated, you know. Then you lease some
land, set up a sawmill, why - in 15 or 20 years you would have it
made. Soon you could move downstate, open an office and sell your
wood products all from a nice big desk and you wouldn't even have to
go to the woods anymore."
"Well, then what would I do?"
"Well, then you could retire, sell your business and move
anywhere you wanted to.
You could sleep late, fish, take your grandkids to the beach,
build a big home, and take it easy."
"Well, sir, you have helped me."
"Then you are going to take my advice?"
"Not at all, but you have helped me be thankful for all that
I already have."

months, think about what you can do that would improve your garden
that you can do now during the winter. Do you like bird houses?
With some lumber scraps you can build a few and paint them or
decorate them to set out in the spring. When you find pictures in
magazines that you like, tear them out and save them. If you make
extras you can have a head start on next Christmas.

this year. Get your seeds ahead of time so you aren't running
around trying to find peas or onion seeds at the last minute.
Plan your flower gardens ahead. Research rare flowers you are
interested in, find out the best growing conditions, and get
involved in a seed swap in the many on-line gardening clubs. Yahoo
and many others have gardening clubs with seed exchanges.
Have you seen some fancy plant markers that you like? Make
them this winter using materials that are cheap and easy to find.
Find a local gardening club and attend during the winter, or
start your own group. Nothing brightens a winter day like a garden
club meeting!
Always keep your eyes open for garden tools on clearance at
lawn and garden shops, etc.
Scour magazines for ideas and put the pages in a file folder
that you want to use. Maybe you would like a garden pond, a gazebo,
or other structure. Keep the picture handy for when you can get
outside and get started.
For anyone who is really experiencing winter doldrums, get out
your paints and try painting some garden scenes. Always start with
the background and work to the front. You may find that you have a
talent you didn't know you had!
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a
miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a
bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream.

April 20, 2015 | California Wine, Event, New release, Special Production, Vineyard Updates, Water Policy | Joy Sterling
2015 Earth Day in Green Valley
Earth Day carries a lot of meaning for Iron Horse Vineyards and this year was is different. The global holiday marks an urgent call to arms in the conservation of the world around us. In this spirit, my Green Valley based family hosted honored guests in celebrating our love of the land. I was thrilled to introduce inspiring keynote speakers and friends; Gov. Jerry Brown and Kevin Jorgeson.
Kevin famously topped the Dawn Wall of El Capitan and subsequently toasted with Iron Horse bubbly. As a special celebration of the unprecedented 3,000 foot free-climb of climbing partners Kevin and Tommy Caldwell, we introduced our 2010 Summit Cuvée, a limited production, one time only, vintage brut which Jorgeson helped us finesse.
Surprising attendees with an impromptu conversation on the California drought, Gov. Jerry Brown ascended the podium and seized a moment to applaud California's environmental leadership. He reassures residents the state will survive its historic four-year drought through creativity and unity. My favorite quote from the Governor's talk: Don't worry about the drought; just don't use too much water!
The day was a smashing success and it has triggered some soul searching. As we celebrate Earth Day in our roles as stewards of the environment, Kevin Jorgesen asks us: What's OUR Dawn Wall? He never gave up on his dream of free-climbing El Capitan. My dream is for a united push towards great responsibility to the environment. The rewards of pushing through imagined limitations are endless.
….Because nothing compliments bubbles like a mountainous cake, we wrapped up the day by inviting Kevin Jorgeson to slice up a sweet replica of El Capitan after tracing his route on the "iced" terrain. Ain't life sweet?

Fiber Cement Siding
Cement Fiber Siding
Cement Fiber Siding Installers and Repair
Many, if not all, homeowners want to install new siding on their homes while being as cost effective as possible. Cement fiber siding is a wonderful choice to stay on budget and avoid resorting to vinyl siding installation. This type of siding is composed of sand, cement and cellulose which is imprinted with designs and then baked. The end result is extremely attractive siding at an even more attractive price. Let's take a look at some of the benefits of installing cement fiber siding.
Benefits of Cement Fiber Siding
- Imitates wood amazingly well. Even up close.
- More fire retardant than wood or vinyl
- Much stronger than vinyl siding
- Can be painted and repainted; giving the homeowner many design choices
- Won't warp, bend or rot. Also resits termites.
Like all things you cannot have the good without the bad. Cement fiber siding is more expensive than vinyl and also requires professional installation. Hiring inadequate siding installers could result in moisture damage to your home. Our cement fiber installers will work with you, and your budget, to provide the highest quality job at the most competitive price.
Deciding on your best siding option can be a daunting and sometimes confusing task. Luckily Choice Roofing Group provides free in home estimates and evaluations, giving you more than enough information to make the best and most informed decision. Contact us and our siding installers will be more than happy to answer any and all pressing questions you may have.
Maintenance of Cement Fiber Siding
Unlike most other siding options, cement board siding will never warp, bend or rot. This means very little maintenance on behalf of the homeowner. Besides the occasional hosing down and painting, not much if any maintenance is needed. This should be carefully considered.

New Zealand opening batsman Craig Cumming had several metal plates inserted into his right cheekbone during surgery following an injury he suffered on the first day of the second Test against South Africa at Centurion Park.
New Zealand manager Lindsay Crocker said Saturday that Cumming had also suffered a broken jaw.
He spent the night in intensive care at a Johannesburg hospital where he underwent the operation late Friday.
"The fact that he is diabetic complicated things," said Crocker. "It was obviously a serious injury but the doctors are happy with the outcome of the surgery."
Cumming, who was struck by a bouncer from fast bowler Dale Steyn, will take no further part in the tour but will be unable to fly home for about a week as he recovers from surgery.

From UCB Research, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
Correspondence to: William M. Selig, PhD, Associate Director of Pharmacology, UCB Research, Inc., 840 Memorial Dr, Cambridge, MA 02139; e-mail: email@example.com
Both histamine and the leukotrienes are thought to be pivotal mediators in asthma as well as other inflammatory or allergic pathophysiologies. Evidence suggests that the combination of leukotriene antagonists and antihistamines (zafirlukast or montelukast plus loratidine) may reduce both experimental and clinical asthma or rhinitis. We synthesized a low-molecular-weight compound, UCB 62045 (563 molecular weight) [UCB Research; Cambridge, MA], which antagonizes the histamine type 1 receptor (26 nmol/L Ki in CHO cells transfected with the human histamine type 1 receptor). UCB 62045 also inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (inhibitory concentrations producing a 50% reduction in effect of 193 nmol/L and 88 nmol/L against human recombinant 5-lipoxygenase and inhibition of A23187-induced leukotriene B4 generation in human whole blood, respectively). Orally administered UCB 62045 (2 mg/kg in 1% methylcellulose) dose-dependently inhibited both histamine-induced bronchoconstriction (0%, 98%, and 97% at 1, 3, and 6 h after dosing) and ex vivo A23187-induced leukotriene B4 generation in the guinea pig (66%, 73%, and 88% at 1, 3, and 6 h after dosing, respectively). In addition, UCB 62045 (2 mg/kg) also reduced both the histamine- and leukotriene-dependent components of allergic bronchoconstriction (ovalbumin, 0.1 mg/mL IV) in the anesthetized allergic guinea pig model (37%, 86%, and 91% at 1, 3, and 6 h after dosing, respectively). These results suggest that UCB 62045 and related molecules may prove to be clinically beneficial in the treatment of airway diseases such as asthma by providing anti-inflammatory activity through the reduced production of all leukotrienes in combination with antihistaminergic actions.

Branded Executive Resume Writer
Does your executive resume say you'll sink or swim?
According to an article on LinkedIn by Lou Adler, the well-known performance-based recruitment evangelist, an old recruiting method is making a comeback. The method, referred to by Adler as "throw people in over their heads and see if they sink or swim," is a theory that believes the best people will rise to the top, quickly learn new skills and gain the confidence to take on more responsibility.
This concept isn't new at all. According to Adler's article, the biggest names in business were very well known for this back in the day including Pepsi, Mattel and Disney. However, there was a change for many years where recruiters and hiring managers would hire individuals who fit into a certain box of qualifications.
If the individual was good at a particular skill and had a certain kind of experience, the hiring manager would select a candidate based on that.
Unfortunately this led to some stagnation within companies as employees would have a difficult time acting outside of that particular role or skill set.
As a result, companies are reverting back to the "sink or swim" method. This begs the question, is your resume ready for this and does it say you will sink or swim?… Continue Reading…

The Internet is having a reaction to this month's issue of The Atlantic, specifically the cover story titled "The Confidence Gap," which offers up the theory that women lag far behind men in self-esteem.
ABC News reporter Claire Shipman and BBC World News America's Katty Kay wrote the piece, just in time to capitalize on the current conversation around Equal Pay Day. The article is based on research the authors did for their book "The Confidence Code: The Science of Self-Assurance — What Women Should Know."
"Compared with men, women don't consider themselves as ready for promotions, they predict they'll do worse on tests, and they generally underestimate their abilities," Shipman and Kay write in their piece. "This disparity stems from factors ranging from upbringing to biology."
Many are already starting to question the article for focusing too much on asking women to change, rather than working to fix the policies that fail them, such as those surrounding minimum wage and child care.
"By focusing so heavily on 'the confidence gap,' Kay and Shipman ignore the structural and institutional barriers to women's success," writes Amanda Duberman on the Huffington Post. "Women may be more reluctant to negotiate pay, but they are also more likely to face professional penalties if they decide to have children and take disproportionate responsibility for child care as working moms — to say nothing of outright gender discrimination."
Others are worried that books such as "Confidence Code," "Thrive" and "Lean In" are encouraging women to act like the men whose overbearing personalities have troubled companies for years.
