King and Pup are back in this exciting conclusion to
the King Series by T.M. Frazier!
I. Remember. Everything.
Only now I wish I didn't.
When the fog is sucked away from my mind like smoke through a vacuum, the truth that has been beyond my reach for months finally reveals itself.
But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I'm more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King's bed.
Because with the truth comes dark secrets I was never meant to know.
I will put the lives of those I love most at risk if I let on that my memory has returned, or if I seek help from the heavily tattooed felon who owns me body and soul.
I don't know if I'm strong enough to resist the magnetic pull toward King that grows stronger every day.
He's already saved me in more ways than one. Now it's my turn to do whatever it takes to save him.
Even if that means marrying someone else…
He cupped my ass and lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. "There was one point I'd made the decision to tell you the truth. I owed you that much. But then all the shit went down with Isaac and Preppy, so when I made the deal with your father for Max, I thought I was doing you a favor by giving you your life back and getting you out of all the shit that came with being in mine."
I squeezed my thighs around his waist, rubbing myself against his hardness. I moaned. "But you weren't giving me my life back." I corrected. I placed my palms on his cheeks and held his face in my hands, searching for any sign in his eyes that what I felt for him might have been wrong, but instead what I found was a resounding need to fix what was broken between us. Tears formed in my eyes. "You were taking it away." King's lips parted. He ran his thumb across my lower lip, turning his head he kissed his way up my arm.
"Goosebumps," King observed, running his fingertips across my already stimulated skin. I bit my lip and stifled a moan.
"It's just the heat," I lied.
"You've got that fucking right," King growled, bending my wrist behind my back, his lips came crashing down over mine. We were a tangling of lips, clanking of teeth, sloshing through the water to better line ourselves up with each other. It wasn't pretty.
It was need.
"I'm still fucking mad at you for letting me go," I said into his mouth, while our tongues did things other parts of me throbbed to do.
King stilled and held my face away from his, our chests heaving in unison, my erect nipples rubbing against his hot hard skin as we panted together. Our breaths mingled in the air. He ran his hand down the side of my face and cupped my cheek in his palm. "I didn't give you away, Pup. I released you."
I stilled. "You released me?" I couldn't hide the hurt in my voice. For some reason, releasing me sounded worse than letting me go.
King ran his tongue across the tip of my earlobe, holding me tightly against his warmth. Chills ran down my spine and into my very core and they had nothing to do with the temperature of the rain.
"I tried to release you, Pup. For Max. But there was a major problem with that plan, and no matter what happened, it would never have worked," King confessed.
"Why is that?" I asked, needing to know, but at the same time acutely aware of the pulsing between my legs. Relief and release was only a scrap or two of fabric away. Throbbing for me.
"The problem was…you never released me," King growled, crashing his lips to mine. He moaned into my mouth when I rubbed myself up against his straining erection. He pushed the fabric of my shorts aside and the second he parted my folds with his index finger, I shuddered. He plunged a long index finger inside of me, and for a second my eyes rolled back in my head until he withdrew it. I cried out in frustration, wiggling myself against him, needing him to make me feel anything other than empty.
✩★✩★✩★ 6 – They Go Out With a Bang – Stars ★✩★✩★✩
~this review may contain minor spoilers~
Adrenaline like I'd never known, in an amount great enough to wake a corpse, coursed through my veins.
I was high on it.
I fed off of it.
It was like I'd pushed my nose into a bowl of blow and inhaled over and over until I felt like I was invincible.
A motherfucking god.
And until I fixed the fucking mess I'd made, I wasn't planning on coming down. I felt sorry for any motherfucker who had balls big enough to try and stand in my fucking way.
When King decided to make a trade with the devil, Doe for Max, he thought he was doing what was best for his girl while getting his daughter back at the same time – he should have expected to be double crossed. Now Doe is gone, he doesn't have his daughter and and his actions have put everyone in danger.
Doe has spent so much time desperately trying to remember who she was, and now she knows – she remembers everything – only, she wished she didn't. Going back to where she came from is far more dangerous than anyone could have predicted and she has no one she can go to for help. Not only does she have to hide the fact that she remembers what happened to her, she has to make some excruciatingly hard decisions to protect the tattooed devil she has fallen in love with, and live with the consequences.
"You and I communicate better when I'm inside you and there is a lot I've got to say. So instead of the question-an-answer bullshit that will get us a fuck of a lot of nowhere, we're going to do this in a way I already know works."
I admit it, I kinda went a little crazy after the way King ended – I even ended up rereading most of the book before starting this one. But luckily, the wait was minimal and so totally freakin worth it. If you thought the first book was dark and heavy, get ready to have your guts ripped out 'cause this one takes shit to a whole new level. You will never see the villain coming til he's kicking you in the face, there is a wicked twist thrown in that will not only break your heart but will have you looking back wondering how you didn't see it coming, there is a few times where you will even ugly cry, but have no fear – King comes out swinging bigger and badder than ever. The struggles Doe goes through are gutwrenching, but she refuses to let it drown her. She has been through so damn much in her young life and continues to fight to survive, never giving up, always keeping her head above water and determined to take her life back – by any means necessary. King is out for revenge. He will do whatever it takes to get his girls back and god help anyone who stands in his way. And the sex?! I didn't think it could get any raunchier, any dirtier, any damn hotter than the first book – I'm glad to say, I. Was. Wrong. Preppy still holds a piece of my heart and always will, as will Bear – CANNOT WAIT to get his story. I'm happy to say the ending this time around didn't leave me with a sever urge to stab something, it was actually pretty damn perfect for these two. I don't really want to say too much more, this is one of those books that you just have to experience as it comes to truly feel it's effects, and you WILL feel it. If you like your romances on the dark and grungy side, not dipped in sparkles and rainbows but rolled around in the mud – than you definitely need to give this series a read. It very quickly, and quite permanently, secured Ms. Frazier a spot on my Dirty One-Click-Addiction List and I am dying to see what she brings us next.
"You should know by now I'm not a man who takes no for an answer, Pup. This isn't a negotiation. When all this shit is over I'm taking you home. With me. If you want to fight it, fight me? Go right on ahead, because honestly, I'm getting hard just thinking about you handcuffed to my bed again."

Unanswered: advice on system platform
We are about to buy new hardware to become DB2 (8.2) servers. We currently use an older IBM RS6000 running AIX, but are considering going to AMD Opteron Linux servers, which appears to be a much cheaper option.
We are looking at 2 and 4 processor Opteron(64bit) servers stuffed full of memory with a very good IO system.
Basically the question is does anybody have any experience with this platform. We'd like to know how DB2 will perform compared to a comparable RS6000 AIX box? How well does it scale from 2 to 4 processors? Are there any administration considerations going to Linux from AIX?
Anything else to consider?
Any recommendations on the Linux flavor? We are considering SUSE and Redhat.
Any advice is appreciated.

Linux is a very good platform for DB2 and it performs very well. DB2 scales extremely well on any platform.
If you have Workgroup Edition, I believe the cost for DB2 is the same for up to 4 processors. IBM does not charge extra for daul core processors so that 4dual-cores are treated as 4 processors, even though the system may see it as 8 processors. There are some new dual core Opterons available now (similar to the dual core Athon 64 X2's).
IBM has used Opterons on some of its TPC-H (decision support) benchmarks which you see here:
DB2 on AIX is very similar to Linux, except that you cannot restore a DB2 AIX backup onto Linux (or the reverse). This is because of BIG ENDIAN vs. LITTLE ENDIAN bit ordering. But you can do a db2move with no trouble.M. A. Feldman

We use DB2 on Linux here, it's performing beautifully and has been very stable. I can't speak to you're hardware, we're Dell/Intel. But in our case, we haven't had an unintentional outage in over a year.
One caveat with Linux is the flavours... there are so many distrubutions, it makes it difficult for support staff to deal with. Worse, you can actually recompile the kernel yourself, modify its source code (!)... don't do that.
The other thing - if you're used to dealing with AIX, the DB2 support people and the AIX support people are all IBM. In theory that means they can work together more easily than IBM and another vendor. We had some problems getting RedHat and IBM to talk when we had an issue where a Linux bug was causing irratic DB2 behaviour.
Oh, and IBM uses SUSE in the lab... FWIW. I expect that means a tighter relationship.--

By Mike Strevel
WAYNE, Ind. (October 11, 2003) –
The Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper
Super Sprint Series wrapped up
its 2003 season at the Baer
Field Speedway in Fort Wayne IN
Sunday afternoon and taking his
second feature win of the season
was Holt MI racer Gary Fedewa.
The morning started with 27 AVSS
teams checking into the crowded
Baer Field pit area. In Hamilton
Trucking qualifications it was
Litchfield MI driver Jason
Blonde setting quick time for
the seventh time in 21 races
this year. He went 14.834 for
the $100.00 bonus. It was Denny
England second quick at 14.960
and Bill Tyler third at 14.992.
The United Trailers heat race
win went to Ted Hines, Hank
Lower took the Dowker Engines
heat race and Ryan Katz picked
up the Wolverine Steel heat
victory. The B- Main was dropped
in favor of starting all 24 cars
in the feature.
The 30 lap main event had the
top ten qualifiers being
inverted for the final feature
of the season. This place rookie
Nathan Bevard and veteran Gary
Fedewa on the front row. The
vocal crowd cheered on all 24
starters as they saluted the
crowd with the AVSS three-wide
salute. The race started with
G.Fedewa taking the early lead.
On lap four Hank Lower moved in
to the runnerup position and put
the pressure on Fedewa the
entire race. There was a couple
of minor cautions for spinning
cars and one major accident on
lap 15 when Kevin Feeney and
Danny Williams JR got together
in turn four. It took great
driving skill by many of the
AVSS drivers to avoid the cars
and eventually three others cars
were involved. A red flag was
thrown to aid with clean up and
only Williams and Billy Wease
was not able to continue.
The race restarted with Lower
seriously putting pressure on
G.Fedewa and actually getting
along side of him on a couple of
occasions. The three time AVSS
champion was not to be stopped
in taking his second feature win
of the year in the AVSS finale
for 2003. The Holt MI racer
thanked Butch Dowker, McClures
Pub, Annie Rae Chevrolet and all
of his other crew and car owner
T&T Promotions. The top ten
finishers were G.Fedewa, Lower,
Troy Underwood, Brian Lay, Ryan
Katz, Tom Fedewa, Jimmy McCune,
Jason Blonde, Bill Tyler and
Denny England. The Suspension
Spring Specialist Driver of the
race was Curt Shumaker.
The officials of AVSS would like
to thank Tom Isch and Dick Beebe
for getting this fall finale in
for AVSS and look forward to
more great racing at the Fort
Wayne ½ mile in 2004. The AVSS
banquet is the final event in
2003 and it will be held
November 1, in Lansing MI at the
Holiday Inn south convention
center. The official website of
AVSS is www.supersprints.com for
more information about the
fastest short track cars on
pavement in the world.

Adaltis Inc. has gone bankrupt after failing to work out a survival plan while under the protection of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
The international in vitro diagnostic company said Tuesday it will liquidate its Canadian assets, property and operations after filing for bankruptcy under the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
Adaltis said its directors have resigned and it has appointed RSM Richter Inc. as its trustee in bankruptcy.
The Montreal-based company said its operations outside Canada are not included in the planned liquidation.
"The implications for creditors and other stakeholders of the corporation are not known at this time and will not be known until the liquidation process is complete," Adaltis said in a statement.
The company was granted protection under the CCAA on July 3 after announcing that it didn't have enough cash to meet its current obligations.
Adaltis was founded in 1987. It has offices in China, where it focuses its operations, as well as in Italy, Mexico and other parts of the world.
In March, the company reported a loss for 2008 of $41.4 million, or 45 cents a share, compared to a loss of $38.9 million, or 63 cents a share, in 2007.
Shares of Adaltis last traded on June 26 when they closed at 7.5 cents on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to investigate the effects, 30 yr after planting, of tree species substitution on the aromatic C content and related properties of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Precautions were taken to correct measurements for the absorbance of NO3 and dissolved Fe. In litter leachates, a significant reduction in the aromatic content of DOC was found in the Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] plantation but not in the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) plantation. The disturbance of short-term C dynamics thus revealed agreed well with field observations. Significant differences in aromatic content were also found in capillary soil solutions from the two planted stands. Overall, these modifications, produced by the substitution of trees 30 yr previously, mostly concerned the beech plantation. Soil processes, and probably adsorption, played a central role in controlling the quality of DOC in this soil and appeared to be influenced by the species planted. In low-capillary solutions, located in larger pores, changes to the aromatic content were only detectable in the surface soil of the beech plantation. We found a more pronounced effect of tree substitution in high-capillary solutions filling soil micropores, where the aromatic content of DOC might be tightly controlled by soil organic matter. It is difficult to say, however, whether the planting of Douglas-fir had actually accelerated soil recovery, or whether there will be future changes to attain a completely new equilibrium.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

KMSP - It's spring… it's now the end of April… so now we are thinking warmer weather… and that means the flowers return, the grass starts to grow, and the gardening begins. But not so fast! The spring can be deceiving because we can go from seemingly nice weather and warm temperatures, to sub-freezing faster than you can blink. In early April, freezes are still common… but by the time April finishes… we SHOULD be pretty much done with our 32 degree temps. Mother Nature has the final say of course, with late season freezes at the end of May happening every few years. Here is where the Upper Midwest stands when it comes to the AVERAGE last freeze.

Big problem with named selections
I'll try to explain my problem simply : I have to simulate a water flow in a vertical tube in the ocean. I have chosen an asymmetric method and just model half of the tube and the ocean on ANSYS WORKBENCH. The problem is : my tube is supposed to have 0 thickness, so I decided to put two blocks : one with the fluid which is in the tube and the other one on the right with the water in the ocean. The problem is I want to name the Edge which is between those two parts but I can't ! When all the parts of my system are shown on the screen I just can't select this Edge (the two blocks become stick together) and when I choose to hide one block, name the selection and Generate, my model is said to be unvalid or something like this ... It's necessary for me to have this "wall" named selection to apply conditions on the wall (non slip etc ...).
I've got the same problem with the inlet and outlet of the pipe, because I'm also modeling the ocean under and above ... Please help !
Guillaume from France
The two blocks you are talking about... I guess they are created with the "surface from sketches" method with one sketch for the fluid inside the tube and another sketch for the surrounding fluid..
Did you select "add frozen" in the options of the surface creation?
This should enable you to select the faces individually.
That's it ! Thanks a lot flotus1 ! :)

From the beloved author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, deeply moving and illuminating reflections on what it means to live a good life.
As a congregational rabbi for half a century and the best-selling author of 12 books on faith, ethics, and how to apply the timeless wisdom of religious thought to everyday challenges, Rabbi Harold S. Kushner has demonstrated time and again his understanding of the human spirit. In this compassionate new work, his most personal since When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Kushner relates how his time as a 21st-century rabbi has shaped his senses of religion and morality. He elicits nine essential lessons from the sum of his teaching, study, and experience, offering a lifetime's worth of spiritual food for thought, pragmatic advice, inspiration for a more fulfilling life, and strength for trying times.
With fresh, vital insight into belief ("there is no commandment in Judaism to believe in God"), conscience (the Garden of Eden story as you've never heard it), and mercy (forgiveness is "a favor you do yourself, not an undeserved gesture to the person who hurt you"), grounded in Kushner's brilliant readings of scripture, history, and popular culture, Nine Essential Things I've Learned About Life is compulsory listening from one of modern Judaism's foremost sages.
Distilling the wisdom of an extraordinary career, this profoundly inspiring yet practical guide to well-being is truly the capstone to Kushner's luminous oeuvre.
"In this book, Harold Kushner both wrestles with and celebrates the capacity of faith and community to re-affirm life's purpose and generate joy and meaning in the 21st century." (Dr. Erica Brown, author of Happier Endings: A Meditation on Life and Death)

text: Exmar confirms a long-term charter party with Excelerate Energy LP, the liquefied natural gas shipper and marketers based in Woodlands, Texas, of a further liquefied natural gas regasification vessel (LNGRV). The vessel will be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME) as DSME Hull No. 2254 and will be named the EXPLORER. The EXPLORER, the ownership of which will be a Exmar 80% / Excelerate Energy 20% joint venture, will be constructed using the membrane containment system together with Excelerate's Energy Bridge™ technology and will have a capacity of approximately 150,900 m³ with delivery in the 1st quarter of 2008. Excelerate anticipates utilising this ship to deliver regasified LNG to the Gulf Gateway - the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Port located 116 miles off the Louisiana cost and to support their recent application to construct a NorthEast Gateway - a Deepwater Port to be located offshore in Massachusetts Bay, near Boston in New England. Energy Bridge™ is an innovative system, whereby a standard LNG vessel is customised to convert liquefied natural gas to vapour on board the ship. Then, utilising proven buoy technology that has been successfully deployed for more that a decade in the harsh North Sea environment, the gas flows through lines connected to the ship and linked to underwater pipelines located offshore. The Energy Bridge system can be deployed virtually anywhere in the world to meet incremental demand for natural gas and it was successfully proven in March of this year when the first LNGRV vessel, the EXCELSIOR discharged LNG into the Gulf Gateway Deepwater Port. With this further order, the Energy Bridge™ operation will comprise 4 LNGRV's including the EXCELSIOR, which delivered in January of this year, the EXCELLENCE, which delivered in May of this year, and DSME Hull No. 2237, to be named EXCELERATE, due for delivery in October 2006. Exmar is one of the largest independent operators of gas tankers in the world, presently with a diversified fleet of 65 ships ranging from 150,900 m³ LNG carriers down to 3,200 m³ pressurised LPG carriers.

Retiring Early – a high-level view. It's not all about the money
Most people think of the main issue in retirement as having enough money. By observation, there are two other main issues for people. One of them is retaining a social connection, and the other is health being a worry, though less so for early retirees 🙂 You can do something to improve both, but they take time, measured in years, to get right. Many people, particularly guys, get a lot of their social connections through work. Talking to people who have retired from The Firm, this changes, absolutely and almost overnight.
Maintaining a connection with other people
Humans are social creatures, and isolation isn't good for us. I'm less gregarious than many. Early Retirement Extreme had a view that early retirees tended in this direction being drawn from people on INTJ and ISTJ axes of the Myers-Briggs spectrum. I don't have much idea of if he's right. Perhaps early retirees who choose it as a life path are, but I'm met enough people who just get pig-sick of the rat-race and bail early who I wouldn't describe as introverted. Anyway, even those INxJs need some connection with other people, and it's something that many retirees get wrong, even if they retire at a typical retirement age. Early retirees will take a greater hit from this, because their friends and peers of a similar age are often still at work because they haven't retired early!
I would have been more exposed to this a few years ago, but DW setting up a community supported agriculture scheme means I've met a number of people from various walks of life over this last couple of years. Some of these even work(ed) for The Firm, though most haven't. I can't claim any strategic direction here, growing thing has been one of DW's passions for decades, and I'm simply taking advantage of the free ride here. But hey, why not 😉 It also comes with some activities that are working with others, after all it's not really possible to raise a polytunnel on your own and it's far more fun with a bunch of other people anyway.
Building the frame is something you only need one or two people, DW and I constructed that beforehand rather than waste other people's time. But skinning it needs more boots on the ground, and there is a feeling of satisfaction when it's done!
I've also tried to maintain a toehold in interests, though this narrowed down greatly over the last three years, slightly from the reduced outgoings but mostly from the stress. But I kept a strategic view and low-level activity with interests and membership of societies. One of the keys to lowering costs is to be creative, originate, don't consume. Things to do with the natural world in particular are often a modest cost, and living in an attractive part of the country is good. I'm not yet realising the upside of this investment, but I hope it will pay dividends, in quality of life, not in money. I'll find out after I do finish work, and a period of convalescence perhaps.
Yeah, it's the big one, and I've been lucky so far in terms of physical health. Retiring early is a very good thing to do for ones health all round, provided you don't fail on the human connection part, and don't have the stress of being poor. I hope to avoid both of those. Eliminating the stress of working will be good for my long term health, as will drinking less.
No longer working in an office and spending some time in the open air will probably be good for my physical health. There's a theory that willpower is something one only has limited resources of, and using it in one area depletes reserves to apply to another. Ending the working in a environment that isn't suited to my values and saving heavily should give me some of these reserves back, and I will apply them to doing something about losing weight and getting more exercise, some of which will happen as a result of the change in lifestyle anyway. Cycling is a great way to reduce running costs for the small but frequent journeys. I'm not quite sure I will ever achieve MMM's levels of badassity, but I can shift myself some distance along that axis. It's made a lot more attractive by having more time.
What I eat is probably fine – we eat hardly any processed food and our veg is about as fresh as it's going to be, within a couple of hours from field to kitchen. DW is a great fan of starting from the basics. In comparison with the typical modern Western diet we do fine.
There's a lot to play for
If I die ten years earlier than my grandparents or indeed get as far as my parents are now then I have more of my adult life ahead of me than I have behind me. So staying interested in the world, connected to other people and in decent and hopefully better health is something worth playing for. And health of course gets a little bit harder as you get older, so while the best time to start sorting some of the strategy out with health was a decade or so ago, now is a good second-best.
Things I can learn from younger people
Quite a few people in the community supported agriculture scheme are in their twenties, and something that strikes me is how incredibly generous they are with their time, volunteering with things like the CAB and other interfaces wit hthe wider community. Particularly over the last three years, time has been exceptionally precious to me. I don't understand the concept, I can't ever imagine volunteering for anything that isn't a specialised use of my skills.
However, I am struck by the blaze of energy and the remarkable generosity of spirit. Perhaps I never had this by nature. I used to think it was being a young adult in Thatcher's Britain and joining the workforce in Thatcher's first recession, but the situation with youth unemployment is probably worse now than it was then so this is no explanation of why I lacked that sort of generosity as a young person, and have become a miser with time now.
This isn't the only thing I could learn from younger people, but it's the one that is most obvious to me at the moment.
A finance detour
Though the most common concern is having enough money, reducing outgoings is a very good alternative. In the end it is the difference between spending and income that matters. DW and I have focused on reducing costs and winning self-sufficiency in some areas. Early retirement in particular is about spending less.
Looking ahead, there will be two obvious battlefields for everybody in trying to maintain living standards over the next four or five decades. These are the cost of fuel, a fight people are already losing, and the cost of food. Both are non-negotiable, and both of these DW has in particular applied herself to reducing. I have also tackled energy, reducing electrical power usage drastically, while we have used the wood resources of the hedgerows and our wood heater to eliminate using the gas central heating totally this winter. We do use the central heating boiler it to heat water, if we can achieve success with the heating then there are other approaches to water heating. We have a biomass willow plantation elsewhere in town that is four years into its rotation and we plant into the hedgerow more than we take out, as well as using Italian Alder for windbreaks and potential firewood in future.
Unfortunately since I switched to a fixed tariff EDF have been really slack on reading the meter. They already owe me several hundred pounds for electricity and I hope they will owe me a fair amount on gas, since they haven't jumped to the change is usage.
Fuel is serious work. Mr Money Mustache probably wouldn't approve but we use a chainsaw for harvesting wood. There's enough grunt involved in moving it and splitting it with an axe. Which may help with the exercise and health stuff, but hand sawing wood is no fun at all. There's a balance to be had here, and it's not always in favour of muscle over motor!
The long view
I will have worked for a shade over thirty years, and just might see more ahead. The world will be very different. That much is clear looking back to what it was like when I started work. ET and Star Trek 2: wrath of Khan were in the cinema, and over the next few years Greed was Good for Michael Douglas a Gordon Gekko summed up the rising Yuppies. People feared being wiped out in total nuclear war rather than the environment and global warming. There were only three channels on TV, and people listened to portable music on Walkman tape players, and vinyl records at home.
The years to come will hold their own challenges for people and the economy. I don't share this chipper view of the world in 2020, never mind the world in 2040. I think in particular the experience is going to be pretty rough for people in the West looking to retain never mind advancing their living standards. If we can get our heads round it all and stop living the consumerist lie then we may be able to salvage an improved quality of life; earning a living shouldn't grind us out of the workforce in our fifties and sixties, particularly if people are going to start routinely living to 100.
Retiring from the workforce
I will retire from the workforce as far as earning an income from work – at least this is my current plan. I have paid far too much income tax. I'm not going to go all Ayn Rand – some contribution to society is fair enough, and I really do appreciate not having the stress of US-style healthcare insurance costs. But I've done my share. Last year, while saving furiously for retirement, I paid twice as much tax and NI as I was living on and a shade more than my pension will be. I'm pig-sick of paying for other people's lifestyle, or indeed hard-done-by Guardianistas and high-rate taxpayers' children.
I am not going to retire from adding value to projects, I am merely going to retire from working for other people and working for an income; the value-add will show in either increasing the capital value of an asset, its ability to do work or it will increase other people's income which may reduce my costs. I still won't be able to escape the demon of income tax on my pension, even after Nick Clegg and his merry men achieve their goals with the tax threshold. At least you don't pay NI on a pension, and I've got more than my thirty years' NI stamps paid now.
In my attempts to reduce taxation over the last three years I took my eye off the ball as to the damage NI does – for all the trumpeting of the aim to take low earners out of income tax I note wryly that the 12% NI tax still starts at £6000. Barstewards…
So I'm retiring from income, not from adding value to stuff. I'm not yet ready to hang up my soldering iron, keyboard and spanners for good 😉
And on that note I am going to start with that health kick, get up off my ass and bike to work, so the fuel tanker drivers and the Government can stick it, too 😉 Tossers, the lot of them.
On the way to work I spotted this very British fuel mini-panic (it was taken after the rush hour). Exactly what the Minister Francis Maude ordered. Panic, but only a little bit. Oh and on the topic of increasing fuel costs, that's the last time you get to see a price of under £1.40 a litre. That's up 40% from this time two and a half years ago.
Great piece.
I love the self-questioning in this piece. "I am struck by the blaze of energy and the remarkable generosity of spirit. Perhaps I never had this by nature…"
Have you read William Boyd's Any Human Heart? I highly recommend it for a perspective on the stages of life.

@ermine Time for a solar water heater ? I think you could go solar for water heating for about 5-6 thousand UK ducats.It costs about 9 thousand Canuck pesos back home.
Interesting. My own solution to the exercise/transport question has been an electric bicycle. The beauty of it is, you get exercise (you still need to pedal) but it is not a chore going up the hills. I used this to commute on my last couple of years of employment and now use it most days for shopping, countryside trips, etc. My wife has one too. Marvellous – and it has allowed us to operate with only 1 car.

You could look into getting a bike trailer. They aren't expensive (considering the huge lifespan and alternative cost of running a vehicle) and you can transport a lot of stuff on one.
Even in central Edinburgh mine comes in pretty handy for firewood (http://mccraw.co.uk/got-wood/) or white goods (http://mccraw.co.uk/who-cares-about-fuel-strikes/)
Keeps you fit too… and there's no cake shortage yet 😉

Great article, and something I am still mulling over. I seem to keep coming back to things I loved doing as a child – drawing, arts & crafts, making clothes. I just cannot imagine 30 years of those kinds of activities, and feel that some form of project would be better.
by Jane
Good insights – both in this and in the last post. I have set my early retirement date for 31 March 2013, and it feels pretty good to be on the final furlong, so to speak.
Sad that a career that I once enjoyed and felt continual enthusiasm for has now been dulled by the eager adoption of daft management theories coupled with the relentless march of EU legislation. Still, there we are.
I work in the not for profit advice sector, and friends who know my plans tend naturally to assume that, once retired from working for a living, I will just continue to do the same sort of thing as before – but on a voluntary basis. I won't.
Instead, I am building-in six months for recovery from work – during that time I wont allow myself to sign up for anything, or commit to doing anything on a regular basis. That gives me time to actually think about what existing interests I want to pursue, and the sorts of new things I might be interested in doing.
I honestly believe that working full time in a stressful occupation literally leaves you with no head space to think about these things. There is no intellectual or emotional energy left over after work, and holidays are needed for rest – not brainstorming!
I've worked a few years longer than you have, and for the last God knows how long I have lived on a small proportion of my salary – so retirement from pay will not make much material difference to the way I live. Of course, getting used to the fact that I no longer have a chunk of money popping into the current account every month will probably take quite some psychological adjustment…
Fortunately, I am not even remotely attracted to the popular golf/cruises retirement template that is pushed at us from all sides. I know there is a whole world of interesting and satisfying stuff out there to do, and being able to offer your time, skills or sometimes just presence without having to ask for any payment opens so many new doors.
Plus, there will be the wonderful luxury of knowing that there is plenty of time to sort out all the myriad administrative stuff that life throws at us, and time to cope with the needs of my elderly mother without having to run myself ragged trying to catch up at work!

I'm already appreciating one benefit of retirement – you have time to volunteer for things. Not the "volunteering" that takes place at The Firm, where senior managers spend a day getting muddy and wet so they can convince themselves they *do* have a spark of humanity after all. No, I mean the real sort where you do stuff that makes a difference to the community/the environment/the younger generation/whatever. Where your reward is knowing you've contributed, and your bonus is when someone says thank you.
It's a lovely feeling.

Oh dear, I have a serious problem, I've come across a blog who's opinion I completely agree with!!!!
Surely the world is ending when that happens and we all disapear up our own backsides 8)
(the first thing I will do when retired is learn to spell properly with out having to use a search engine 8)
I look forward to your future posts and you logic is infallible ( I spelt that without looking it up i'm doing ok for a start on my quest 8)
Warmest regards!!!

Earlier this year The Lawyer reported that Ashurst's revenue had decreased by 7 per cent last year from £323m down to £301m last year (27 May).
Ashurst managing partner Simon Bromwich told The Lawyer: "This is in line with what we have been expecting for the last six months. Since Christmas we have been busier and made a lot of partner investment. This has certainly affected the PEP figure."
In February this year the firm launched in the US, snaring an 11-partner team from McKee Nelson.
Bromwich said: "We think we have the basics right to improve profits over the next year. We are confident that the investments we've made will be beneficial to us over the coming year."

Last week, to have a good time CHG's first blogiversary, I asked readers what topics they'd like to see tackled extra usually. Quite just a few responded with along the same strains: cheap, healthy dishes made with stuff often found mendacity around the home.
Thanks for the feedback all people. There are some actually nice observations right here, and I'm interested to hear extra. molometer, thanks for the go to and remark - olive oil sounds great and provides a unique flavour to cooked foods. Salads comprised of tomato, pepper, eggplant and cucumber in olive oil and lemon juice are a good selection. (Diet: 265 Cals; Fats: 15 g; Carbs: 40 g; Protein: 6 g). Keep away from dishes with a lot of olive oil.
Preservatives are added to the dog food within the rendering crops earlier than it will get to the producers. Once the producer gets it from the rendering plants they then have decisions on learn how to preserve the fat in the meals to forestall it from becoming rancid. The morning I began this food regimen, I weighed 234 lbs. This morning (day 5) I weighed 220 lbs. I've eaten as a lot as I wished with an average of 5 meals per day, and I've not been hungry in any respect. Plus, my energy levels are APPROACH up! Thanks for the data! I am on Weight Watchers and am not very comfy within the kitchen, so I love cooking with my Crock Pot!
random-Yes, billybuc is a funny one! I like quick lunches, too, that still are considerably healthy. Thanks for reading. Good to see you again! Many Lebanese restaurants serve Moroccan and other regional dishes as nicely. Lamb is the favorite meat: served stewed, roasted, pressed, ground or skewered. Beans actually are an excellent meals for feeling full without eating lots of calories. I just featured this lens on my lens on cut price dieting (beans = discount).
Whenever you skip a meal you get hungry, but isn't this inevitable if you are making an attempt to reduce weight and eat less energy than you burn to develop a calorie deficit ( reference to cal def article right here). Milk is a very good idea that I forgot about. The soy version would not play good with my stomach though. As for the ebook, I can't wait to cull by the stack on my bedside desk or treat myself to a new book from our bookstore in town.

For BYD Co., Ltd.'s fourth straight appearance at the Detroit COBO Center for the 2011 North America International Auto Show (NAIAS), a series of US-ready green-technology vehicles and products are on display. BYD has presented its "Three Green Dreams" Strategy and its "Green City Solutions," its green electric vehicle series, and a portfolio of eco-friendly products such as solar panels, home energy storage units and energy-saving LED Lighting.
The new 5-seat crossover -- the BYD e6 Premier (2012 Year Model) --- features a more dynamic and sporty exterior design. The e6 Premier is equipped with BYD Iron-phosphate "FE" battery and it's claimed to have a range of 300km (or 186.4 miles) on urban roads, while its projected maximum speed is 140km/h (or 87 mph).
A full charge takes 40 minutes on the 100kW fast charging cabinet. And it takes 6 hours to overnight-charge the e6 on the 10kW standard charging pole. This means that the e6 is ideal for daily commuters and in-town driving.
BYD is also proud of the core technology of the pure-electric K9 e-Bus and considers it as another breakthrough in the field of electrified transportation. The specially designed in-wheel electric drive and the electronically-controlled air suspension result to this 12-meter-long e-Bus getting sufficient space and a low-floor for easy passenger loading and unloading.
The K9 can run 250+ km (155+ miles) on a single charge. The BYD S6DM SUV is the first independent 4WD dual-mode electric SUV in the world.
The SUV can travel more than 60km (38 miles) solely on electric power and can run over 310 miles extended range when using the environmentally friendly 2.0L gasoline engine. It is equipped with a 10kW electric motor (M1) coupled with a smooth 6-speed dual-clutch transmission powering the front wheels while a powerful 75kW electric motor (M2) moves the rear wheels.

The guy can't catch break. Going into the season, some even predicted that Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Alex Cobb would overtake David Price at some point in 2014 as the best starting pitcher on the staff. In order for that to happen, Cobb needed to stay healthy. However, the right-hander strained his left oblique muscle, and the ailment is expected to keep him sidelined for 4-6 weeks.
Fear not, fantasy baseball addicts — there are options moving forward:
SP Jesse Chavez, Oakland Athletics: The A's boast MLB's second-best pitching staff with a team ERA of 2.08. Chavez is a big reason why. After early injuries to A.J. Griffin and Jarrod Parker forced manager Bob Melvin to do some re-shuffling, the 30-year-old has helped make Melvin look like a genius.
Through three starts and 30 IP, Chavez has a minuscule ERA of 1.35 with a K/BB of 11.00. Grab him while you can as it appears he has a fresh arm for his age and plays home games in the spacious confines of O.co Coliseum. He is unowned in 65 percent of Yahoo leagues.
SP Garrett Richards, Los Angeles Angels: According to Fangraphs.com, Richards' fastball has averaged 96.1 mph so far this season, and opponents are hitting only .071 against that pitch. The 25-year-old throws smoke, and could be considered a poor man's version of Tony Cingrani in the AL. Ride the wave if you can, as he's unowned in 49 percent of Yahoo leagues.
SP Ervin Santana, Atlanta Braves: It took a while for the ex-Royal to find a home in 2014, but it certainly did not take him long to find his mid-season form. Forgotten about by some, Santana made a few warm-up starts in the minors before getting called up and starting his first game against the New York Mets on Apr. 9. He hurled eight innings of no-run ball and picked up the win.
Last night, he doubled his quality starts in as many tries and struck out 11 hitters through six innings, allowing only one earned run. The fact that he is still unowned in 17 percent of Yahoo leagues is almost inexcusable.
SP Edinson Volquez, Pittsburgh Pirates: Volquez was once a major piece in the 2007 trade that moved Josh Hamilton from the Reds to the Texas Rangers. A quiet signing by the Pirates in the 2013 offseason for one year at $5 million, Volquez has registered a quality start in one of his first two starts this year. Allowing only a combined two earned runs in those efforts, he has struck out eight and walked only three.
Command was always a concern of his. Volquez was at one time a prized prospect in the Rangers' system. At 30, maybe he has finally figured things out and will be able to log a few All-Star worthy campaigns under his belt before hanging up his cleats. He is unowned in 92 percent of Yahoo leagues.

Welcome to part 3 of our toilet training series, where everyday mums share their experiences. Today our Mums are talking about equipment and differences between boys and girls…
What essential 'equipment' did you need for toilet training?
- A potty (for home), pull ups (for outings) and patience!! CO
- Time, and a whole lot of undies. Oh, and a a few old cloth nappies in easy to reach places in case anyone needs to clean up a puddle or two. KF
- Underpants! A potty to take to the shops, park, etc. With my youngest we got steps for the big toilet because she is so fiercely independent! SH
- A spray bottle of carpet cleaner, lots of cloths and patience. We bought a potty that was fun to use. It played songs and had a flush lever that made a flush noise. This was all well and good but I ended up turning off the noise as it was very distracting and they both preferred to play with the songs, levers, etc than actually doing their business! TW
- Not a lot. Knickers, a potty, lots of wipes! AH
- None really. I encouraged them to use the big toilet straight away but that was a personal thing where I HATE potties! SP
Do you think there are differences between training boys and girls?
- We taught our son to wee sitting down (potty had a shield for boys) so the same principles applied. Then we had a second stage, teaching him to wee standing up (that's messy!) TW
- Yes. I am only in the early days of toilet training with my son but already I can already see differences (other than the obvious)! He thinks differently to his sister, reacts differently to situations, and responds to different forms of praise. CO
- Not for me, no. SP
- For us there was a marked difference, but not because of their gender. The girls have had long standing issues with immature sphincter muscles and this contributed to them not being physically able to control their bladder until they were a lot older (just after they turned 4). KF
What were your toilet training 'equipment' requirements? What are your tips for training boys, or girls?
Great big thanks for sharing so generously go to Shae (Mum to 3 girls), Tanya (Mum to a pigeon pair), Amanda (Mum to 2 girls), Kate (Mum to 4 – two of each), Cath (Mum to 1+1) and Sarah (Mum to 2 boys and 1 girl).

Miranda Lambert is engaged….but not to her new boyfriend, Anderson East.
Lambert broke the news fans at her concert in New Jersey this weekend that she received a marriage proposal earlier in the day.
Turns out the lucky man…or boy… is a 6-year-old named Sebastian who proposed to her during a meet & greet.
The singer politely said yes but that Sebastian will have to wait about 25 years.
According to PEOPLE, "He bought the ring himself … his mom said he's been holding on to it since Christmas, waiting for an opportunity to propose to Miranda."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon name Phiton comes from the family having resided in Fitton, in Cambridgeshire. The place-name shows the mark of the Danish influence on England before the Middle Ages. Fitton is derived from the Old Norse word fit, which means field, and the Old English word tun, for farm or fort. It literally means "fort among the fields," and was probably the site of a Danish army camp sometime in the 9th to 10th centuries.
Phiton Early Origins
Cheshire where they acquired the estates of Bolyn on the Welsh border about the year 1100 soon after the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D. Conjecturally this family may have been descended from the Ancient Britons, or Welsh race. Rufford, Lancashire was an early homestead of the family. "A moiety of this manor appears to have been granted in the reign of Henry I., by Richard Bussel, the second Baron of Penwortham, to Richard Fitun or Fitton. John Fitton, his great-grandson, was also lord of half of Rufford; and the grandson of the latter, by a charter without date, gave the moiety of the town to his daughter Matilda, or Maud. This Matilda married Sir William Hesketh; and by the marriage of Sir William's grandson with the heiress of Edmund Fitton, lord of half Rufford, he became sole lord of the manor, which has since been vested in his descendants.

Phiton Spelling Variations
Phiton Spelling Variations
Phiton has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Spelling variants included: Fitton, Fiton, Fytton, Fyton and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Phitons to arrive on North American shores: William Fitton who settled in Barbados in 1683; Edmund, John, and R.G.M. Fitton settled in Pennsylvania between 1844 and 1873; Isaac and William Fitton settled in Baltimore, Maryland in 1823..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Vae duplici cordi
Motto Translation: Woe to the deceitful heart

At Davos, business leaders warn that industry crackdown will hurt recovery
DAVOS, SWITZERLAND -- Global business leaders warned Western governments on Wednesday that a populist crackdown on the financial industry could crimp a fragile recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s.
The worried response to President Obama's plans to curb big banks in the United States and a British government assault on bankers' pay came as 2,500 business leaders and policymakers met at the annual World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy delivered a tirade against the excesses of financial speculation, deregulation, the bonus culture and accounting tricks that he said had driven the world economy to the brink of ruin a year ago.
Only concerted government action had saved the world from financial meltdown, Sarkozy said, adding that the first glimmers of recovery should not be a signal to let up on regulatory reforms.
"We can only save capitalism by refounding and moralizing it," he said in a keynote address, warning central banks against an abrupt withdrawal of stimulus measures, which might trigger a collapse of the world economy.
Sarkozy endorsed Obama's proposed curbs on Wall Street but stressed the need for a consensus on financial regulation in the Group of 20 major economies.
Obama jolted markets on Jan. 21 with proposals to force commercial banks to cut ties with hedge funds and private equity funds and to stop proprietary trading. He also said he wanted the financial sector to pay for a substantial taxpayer bailout.
Barclays President Bob Diamond challenged Obama's effort to limit the size of big banks and restrain risk-taking. "If you step back and say large is bad, and we move to narrow banking, the impact of that on banks and on global trade, the global economy, would be very negative," he said during the opening session.
But the specter of uncoordinated, heavy-handed regulation and government intervention in the economy loomed largest for many business leaders. Uncertainties over whether China will rein in its feverish pace of growth and concerns about Greece's debt crisis also weighed heavy.
Studies produced for the conference showed global economic confidence on the rise after deep gloom last year.
A survey by accountancy giant PricewaterhouseCoopers of 1,200 chief executives in 52 countries found that 39 percent of industry bosses aimed to hire extra staff in 2010, while 25 percent planned more job cuts, down from nearly half who slashed jobs last year.

If there's a nerve left on the issue of what's Black, Black enough, too Black, rich Black & poor Black, my beloved Pharrell just danced on it. And I'm NOT "happy" about it.
Recently I had the opportunity to discuss the logistics of exactly what the "new Black" entails on WVON, the Talk of Chicago.
From what I understood, it's a mentality. A new way of thinking has emerged amongst our elite who no longer identify with the color of their skin, the struggle of their ancestors and the present-day injustices of our people. OUR people! Light-skin, mixed-race and house-Negros alike: You're still Black! Be you cotton field or kitchen, be you corporate-slave or paper bag approved, you are Black.
Now the issue here is a pinch deeper than a skin pigmentation. It's deeper rooted than a fair-skinned woman representing a black GIRL. This is about identification of a people who fought for the acceptance of America by way of rights and liberties. When you hear the phrase, 'new Black' one has to wonder what happened to the old Black...? Who's in charge of this new coalition? When did/do you realize you're no longer the black your mother birthed? How does one become a new black? A state of mind...?
To that I say, no matter how high your private jet flies, you're a black man in a jet. And that's a good thing.
You're giving a sense of identity to little black boys and girls who, too, came from humble beginnings with a passion for something greater. You're giving a sense of hope and aspiration to a generation written off by society's ploy to demolish the disenfranchised. Our youth! What say you when they ask, 'how can I be the new Black and what do I do with the Black that I am?' It's disheartening. It's regressive to the work so many 'current' Black people have contributed to our movement.
I'm a fan of hip-hop. The culture that boasts opulence with a resemblance of my cousins inspires me greatly. But I will never deny that which provided the vehicle for my success. My struggles, my oppositions, my need to prove who I am and why I'm worthy fuels me, like so many others. And when I get there, to that place where minor racial stigmas don't poke as much, I won't become a different Black. I'll be the same Black that freelanced for writing credit. The same Black that suffered workplace injustices. The same Black as Oprah, Harriet, Halle and Michelle. I'm that Black and I'll take my Black to every level of success I sit in. Trust me.
