IUCs and the Law of Large Numbers
I've been keeping silent through most of the recent exchange over IUCs (which has been fascinating), though you can probably guess where I stand based on my earlier comments. Let me first say that I heartly endorse Patri's most recent post below, and aim merely to supplement it.
First, it's interesting to me that while Glen says he agrees with Brian, he doesn't stick to the strictly formal objections Brian makes. And with good reason, I think -- this is a situation where one has to choose between formal tractibility and empirical accuracy. The standard contention that utility is strictly ordinal is tautologically true within the confines of an economic model, but here in the real world we can and do say more than just "I'd like an apple more than an orange" -- we frequently make statements like "I'd like an apple way more than an orange." To a consistent ordinalist this must sound like "baa baa buff" -- complete gibberish, since preferences can't have magnitudes, you see, and hey wait where are you going? Come back!
Ahem. So yes, we really do feel likes and dislikes with magnitudes, not just orderings, and if we're interested in describing real human beings we may want to take account of this. Glen understands this, so he falls back to a different line of defense. When Glen says that "we've got different brains, and an endorphin in my brain just ain't the same as an endorphin in yours," he's making an empirical claim which is perfectly true so far as it goes -- everyone's brain is a little bit different. But for many purposes this is a point without teeth, so long as we can expect the differences in people's brains to be approximately normally distributed with non-dramatic variance.
On page 70 of Stumbling On Happiness, Dan Gilbert uses the following analogy:
If the workers at the factory that makes all the world's tape measures, rulers and yardsticks got sloshed at a holiday party and started turning out millions of slightly different-sized measuring instruments, we would not feel confident that a dinosaur was larger than a turnip if you measured one and I measured the other. After all, we may have used pickled rulers. But if hundreds of people with hundreds of rulers stepped up to one of these objects and took its measurements, we could average those measurements and feel reasonably confident that a tyrannosaurus is indeed bigger than a root vegetable. After all, what are the odds that all the people who measured the dinosaur just so happened to use stretched rulers, and that all the people who measured the turnip just so happened to use squashed rulers? Yes, it is possible, and the odds can be calculated quite prescisely, but I will spare you the math and promise you that they are so slender that writing them down would endanger the world's supply of zeroes.
Patri's example of "funniness" is apt, though I can still imagine someone taking the consistent skeptic position that no, we really can't compare humour between two seperate persons. I submit, however, that the skeptic's stance retains plausibility only because of the number two in that statement. What if we show a random sample of one thousand people the same two video clips of stand-up comedians, then ask them to rate which was funnier? If 90% of those people rate Comic A as funnier than Comic B, would we not have grounds to say that Comic A generates more subjective humour?
The implausibility of hardline agnosticism in this case increases with N, and thus it is with the measurement of any subjective feeling. Incidentally, this also answers Arnold Kling's question when he asks "if whether a Ramirez walk-off home run makes you happy or not depends on which team you were rooting for, can we be confident about generalizations that we make about whether being a father makes you happy ... ? I don't see how." The law of large numbers, that's how. Or, as J.V. Cunningham put it much more elegantly in his poem Meditation On Statistical Method:
Plato, despair!
We prove by norms
How numbers bear
Empiric forms,
How random wrong
Will average right
If time be long
And error slight,
But in our hearts
Curves and departs
To infinity.
Error is boundless.
Nor hope nor doubt,
Though both be groundless,
Will average out.

So yes, we really do feel
So yes, we really do feel likes and dislikes with magnitudes
Sure we do, and likes and dislikes are not choices. Talk all you want about things that have magnitudes, just don't keep being so sloppy about it. Don't keep confusing different things. There's more room in the universe for other things aside from preference. You don't have to reduce everything in the whole world to preference. Next are you going to tell us that the chemical formula for water should be expressed in terms of preference?
Constant, What would you say
What would you say the difference is between "preference" and "like"?
What would you say the
What would you say the difference is between "preference" and "like"?
The very concept of like involves magnitude. It's firmly embedded in our language. You can like something a little or a lot. Preference is about choice. If I choose A over B, then I don't choose A "a lot" over B, I simply choose A over B.
The concepts are just different. But maybe you're asking about the underlying reality. Well, let's consider music. Music makes you feel good things. Some music makes you feel good things more intensely than other music. That intensity might be measurable. It might be reducible to the amount of some chemical released or to the amount of firing of some neurons. Same with food. You might be able to tell whether someone gets more pleasure out of some dish than out of music.
But preference is entirely a different thing, because it concerns the choices that a person makes. And a person may, or may not, choose what he likes over what he dislikes. Specifically, a person may dislike certain vegetables but force himself to eat them anyway, and he my like ice cream but force himself to stay away from it.
Now, you might say, "but in that case he likes the vegetables more than the ice cream in a larger sense - in a sense of liking their health effects on him." But if you say that then I think you are now using "like" as a synonym for choice. The ice cream that he rejects *still* produces the cascade of neural impulses or chemical releases that are associated with pleasure of some intensity, and the vegetables *still* produce the cascade associated with displeasure of some intensity. In *that* sense, the sense that likely admits of some absolute magnitude which it is easy to believe we can tie to the release of chemicals (or whatever physiology underlies it), he likes ice cream to a certain degree and dislikes certain veggies to a certain degree.
Preference, in the economic sense, is about choice, and we choose things for a variety of reasons. At our simplest, yes, we do often choose what we like more over what we like less, we do often choose the greater pleasure over the lesser pleasure. But degree of pleasure is not the only basis of the choices we make. An intellectual understanding of the ill effects of certain foods and a decision to maximize our own lifespan to the extent we can is not necessarily tied to a corresponding degree of pleasure that can in any canonical way be compared to the sensual pleasures of eating.
So, what is the point of all
So, what is the point of all this? Even if we could make valid (i.e., quantifiable) IUCs that could reliably account not only for present but also future consesequences of certain actions, what should we do with that information? Redistribute income and wealth? Such an outcome assumes not only that we can reliably quantify IUCs (about which all I've read in these various posts is theoretical blather), it assumes implicitly that there is a "social welfare (or utility) function" that can be optimized, given reliably quantified IUCs.
Well, you know who defines the "social welfare function": the same people who tell me that it is my privilege to pay taxes in order to finance bike trails for yuppies, luxurious government edifices, welfare for druggies, muscle-building equipment for thugs in prison, etc., etc., etc. Somehow such things actually diminish my utility. And I don't care if such things increase the utility of 90% of the population. They still diminish my utility. Or are we to bow to the law of large numbers? Seems anti-libertarian to me.
Taking money from X and giving it to Y may make Y happier, but it only makes X unhappy (unless he's a rich liberal). X's happiness and Y's happiness are not additive, unless you're into "cosmic consciousness." Let's stick with Pareto -- except when it comes to de-funding government employees and their various parasitical constituencies, of course.
Constant, Good answer! I
Good answer! I actually wouldn't disagree with any of that: revealed preference and subjective pleasure don't perfectly overlap (nor do either of them perfectly overlap with what's actually good). If we want to define utility strictly in behaviouristic terms and nothing else, then my post, Glen's and Patri's (and Scott's and Brandon's...) are all moot. However, once we've taken the step of opening up the hood (so to speak) and talking about what motivates choices, as Glen apparently has (though not Brian), everything Patri and I have said kicks in. I'm mainly arguing in this way because Glen is a professed utilitarian who presumably buys all of the premises assumed in the above post.
Bad answer! I haven't breathed so much as a word about income redistribution, which is a bad idea even under charitable assumptions, but that's a whole other post...
So, what is the point of all
So, what is the point of all this?
In order of decreasing confidence on my part:
1. What I and Matt (who does it better than I) and everyone else are arguing is true, or at least stands a chance of moving us closer to truth, which is a noble pursuit that ought to be pursued.
2. Pragmatically, it doesn't bode well for my side when they make bad arguments.
3. I suspect that without the notion of comparable utility, the idea of economic efficiency becomes hollow (or it puts a great deal more weight on a theory of property rights than it will support) and I'd like to see that idea preserved, since it's useful.
Are we done with this yet?
Are we done with this yet? I'm surprised to learn that many people whose opinion I respect don't believe there's any ordinal ranking of choices without a cardinal system to back it up, but I can accept that it seems to be the case. I'm even more surprised that folks are arguing against "you can't compare ordinal rankings" with the non-sequitor "I can measure some things cardinally".
I think we all agree that there are dozens of things about people that can be measured and compared, some of which are usable to various degrees as predictors of future choices.
Whether to call any of these measures "happiness" or "utility" or "X" is just not that interesting to me. Heck, I'm not even sad to lose "utility" as the word to describe ordinal preferences behind an action. I've long preferred "preference", but even that doesn't describe it well, so I'm open to suggestions.
If y'all want to sloppily confuse whatever you're measuring (endorphin level, tension in a smile muscle, response to a survey, etc.) with the ordinal ranking of choices that are often somewhat correlated to your measure, I can't stop you. If you want to believe it's the same thing, I think you're glossing over the massive complexity of human software, but again you're welcome to do so.
So move on to Tom's question: so what? Say you can measure a person's X-ness (letting X be defined by the measure you choose) with a magic device. What do you propose to do with such information?
I'll be making another post
I'll be making another post on this subject, so here I'll just respond to one point:
"[B]ut here in the real world we can and do say more than just "I'd like an apple more than an orange" – we frequently make statements like "I'd like an apple way more than an orange." To a consistent ordinalist this must sound like "baa baa buff" – complete gibberish..."
It's not gibberish to an ordinalist, it's just an imprecise way of speaking. Assuming that "like" is an all-things-considered notion (so that it includes not just tastiness but also future health benefits or whatever else the speaker thinks relevant), the ordinalist interpretation is that the amount of other goods and services the speaker would sacrifice for an apple is relatively large compared to the amount of other goods and services the speaker would sacrifice for an orange.
The Stumbling quote is pure
The Stumbling quote is pure comic gold.
So, what is the point of all
So, what is the point of all this?
In order of decreasing confidence on my part:
I don't think you answered the question, at least not the way I read it. The point of measuring temperature is manifold. For example, it's useful to know the temperature of food as you cook it so that you know when to take it out of the oven. That sort of thing.
Analogously, we can ask, what is the point of the particular kinds of measurement (specifically, cross-measurement, comparison) you're arguing exists. The *obvious* point of it is for a government to decide who to rob and of how much and who to give the loot to (to put it bluntly). Since *some* (not all) disavow any such intention, the question remains, what's the point of such a measurement.
I can answer the question for subjective preferences. The point of knowing a person's preferences is to know what he's going to do. What, then, is the point of knowing whether one person prefers X to Y more than another person prefers Z to W? It is not to know what they will do, because utility monsters will, by assumption, act exactly the same way as normal people.
Constant, That's silly. I
That's silly. I never argued that we should make such comparisons (much less for redistribution), only that they are possible.
If I argued that my house is flammable, does it imply I want it burnt down?
Sometimes the things I believe are true can be used against me, sometimes for me---nonetheless, I like knowing the truth. Do I really have to defend that preference? To Foucault, maybe, but to you?
Come on!
That's silly. I never
That's silly. I never argued that we should make such comparisons (much less for redistribution), only that they are possible.
Scott, I didn't say that you argued we should make such comparisons.
I am suggesting that we apply a pragmatic test of reality. Weight, height, length, temperature, ordinal utility, all easily pass this test. The kind of utility that allows IUCs has not, so far, passed the test that I have seen in this long discussion.
Pragmatism and Occam's Razor converge. From Wikipedia on pragmatism:
"Most of the thinkers who describe themselves as pragmatists point to some connection with practical consequences or real effects as vital components of both meaning and truth."
I'm asking for you to point to some connection with practical consequences or real effects. If someone prefers X to Y, then a real effect of that preference is that, if given the choice, he will choose X to Y. But if Bob prefers X to Y more than Bill prefers Z to W, what is a real effect of that?
Occam's Razor:
"entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity."
How are IUCs necessary? I've asked you what they are good for.
Economic utility DOES HAVE
Economic utility DOES HAVE relative magniture. Von Neumann-Morgenstern shows this. What it doesn't allow is absolute maginutes (one scale over another) or interpersonal comparisons.
You can read about here in the subchapter "Von Neumann Utility" of David Friedman's Price Theory, Chapter 13.
Economic utility DOES HAVE
Economic utility DOES HAVE relative magniture. Von Neumann-Morgenstern shows this.
David Friedman's discussion mentions lotteries, which is what I used earlier today to show that you can answer the question:
"Suppose someone prefers A to B to C to D and you want to know whether he prefers A to B more than he prefers C to D."
You can answer that by giving him a choice of two lotteries. Does that strike you as somewhat along the lines of what David is talking about? Is that (part of) what von Neumann and Morgenstern were talking about?

Think of this as an....
Posted by J. Schott on Sep 20, 2006
opportunity to truly create beauty out of what seems to be a disaster. What has happened is that, you now have a reason to get creative. Fixing the damage is the easy part, making it a feature rather than a scar is the challenge.
Have you checked to see if there are any builders in your area to consult? Were you planning on a varnish or painted finish? The possibilities are endless as to what you can do hide a repair. As many have already stated. onlays are a great way to personalize your boat. Another option is to come up with a painted design to cover the repair but still show off the natural beauty of the wood.
There have been some great suggestions for the repair already. If I was in your situation, I would cut out the damaged wood on the deck and make patch panels. The back of the patches would need to be reinforced, my choice would be to apply a couple of layers of fiberglass cloth. Once the repair is made and a plan is formed to hide the patches, the deck needs to be protected/strengthened with a layer of 4oz. cloth. If you decide to do onlays, they need to be done before the cloth is applied.
I think I can speak for everyone here by saying that we are not going to let you give up. You have us as your "private technical support" group. If you need advice on onlays, I'm all yours. I've got a little experience in that area. If you are in Va. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. I also have plenty of scraps if you need them. Good luck and keep us updated-Joey
P.S.- here is a sample of what can be done with onlays

I love the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", everything about it, the animation, the mystery, the characters …. All of it! I grew up with Roger Rabbit, I remember seeing it in the movie theater. I was five years old and I ate, slept and breathed cartoons. So naturally I was entranced by this film that depicted cartoon stars existing in our world. I even still own my VHS copy of the film which was viewed many a Saturday morning growing up. I still love cartoons, specifically the theatrical shorts of the 1940's & 50's, so as an adult I can truly appreciate how "Roger Rabbit" is a glorified love letter to those cartoons.
I've always wanted to show my love (and obsession) for the film by cosplaying from it, so it's always been in the back of mind. While my personality is more in tune with Roger, I couldn't resist the idea of cosplaying Judge Doom, the film's villain, who I feel leaves the most emotional impact with the viewer. One emotionally scaring scene in particular depicts the Judge murdering an innocent and adorable cartoon shoe by slowly submerging the poor thing into a deadly chemical dip, leaving nothing more than paint on Doom's stained glove.
Judge Doom started out as a costume for Halloween but when it came time to take it to a convention, I knew I wanted to make it a couple's cosplay with my wife, that's when we decided to make her Eddie Valiant, the film's hero. Both costumes are mostly finds from thrift stores and costume shops. While the hats, glasses and bow tie were easy to find, the coats were the most challenging. My wife got lucky and found a fitting trench coat and ugly enough tie while searching several Goodwill stores. Doom's coat was a little tougher to find but we eventually found a woman's long black coat that looked similar and fit me well enough. My wife had to extend the sleeve length and she sewed on Doom's shoulder cape.
Next was adding props and I love props! I love thinking of what kinds of things I can find or make to add an extra level to the cosplay and, like a cartoon character, I tend to go way over the top. I wanted most of all to showcase Doom's most disturbing scene (the one with that squeaky toon shoe) so I knew immediately I was going to make a mobile barrel of D.I.P. To find a light weight barrel I started looking for plastic shipping drums online. One day, to my luck, I took a wrong turn into an unfamiliar neighborhood and saw what I needed at the end of a driveway filled with yard debris. The home owner was right there working in his yard when I screeched to a stop, rolled down my window and enquired where he got the barrel. With a puzzled look he replied "not sure, but I'm hoping the trash man takes it because I don't want it". And that was that, it was in the back of my truck, yard debris and all. A good cleaning out and a paint job later I had a D.I.P. barrel. I added wheels to make it mobile and green led lights to the inside with aluminum siding to reflect the light and dyed cheese cloth to imitate the liquid chemicals.
Now that I had the D.I.P. I needed the toon shoe. I started with a novelty clown shoe and used white plsti-dip to get him the colors from the movie. Using a still frame as reference I drew on those sad soulful eyes and finally I added a squeaker from a dog toy to the inside, because it just had to squeak.
The first time wearing Judge Doom & Eddie Valiant at a convention I had two concerns, 1) will people recognize our cosplay from a movie over 25 years old? 2) Will I be able to push this massive barrel around a crowded convention? Well, I was pleasantly surprised by both answers.
Some people would announce "You two are my childhood" while others would share stories about how the film effected them or how they've shared the movie with their children. Some people would share their detest for Judge Doom, how the character scared them as child. There were even a very few people who became visibly upset at the sight of the toon shoe, becoming wide eyed and covering their mouths or gasping "Not the shoe!"
Being able to recreate that bit of nostalgia for people was amazing, to be able to bring a movie (that I love dearly) to life and connect with others that also share an emotional impact with the film is simply incredible. That's what I love about cosplay, you advertise a fandom you're passionate about to the world and you get some of the most amazing feedback from likeminded individuals. The barrel, by the way, is one of my favorite props to carry. It conveniently holds all our stuff, hides our belongings out of view, and people clear a path when they see me coming. It's fun to pose with, people love looking inside and even a few parents have attempted to D.I.P. their youngsters for a photo.

Author: Allen Malnak
Publisher: Two Harbors Press
So much has been written in the realm of fiction concerning holocaust survivors that I didn't expect anything unique when I picked up a copy of Allen Malnak's debut haunting thriller, Hitler's Silver Box. Was I in for quite a surprise!
The fictionalized story follows Dr. Bruce Starkman and his uncle Max Bloomberg, a survivor of the Theresienstadt concentration camp. While Max was in the camp, and owing to his silversmith skills, he was commanded to craft a small silver box that was to be given to Hitler as a present from his hideous henchmen. Apparently, the box was to be used to hide some extremely important Nazi documents. Most horrendous was that the silver Max used was extracted from the teeth of the thousands of Jews that were slaughtered by these barbarians.
As the yarn unravels, we learn that Bruce, after both his parents had died when he was a young lad, had a very close relationship with his uncle. Bruce is extremely distraught when he receives a phone call from his uncle's attorney and is informed that Max had died and his body transported to a non-Jewish funeral home, where he was cremated
According to Bruce, all of these details were very much out of character, as his uncle was an orthodox Jew and cremation is strictly forbidden under Jewish law. He is also dumbfounded when he discovers that the death certificate didn't contain any clear cause of death. Apparently, there were needle punctures and bruises on his uncle's body and furthermore, someone claiming to be the medical examiner, completely by-passed performing an autopsy. Another troubling element was that his uncle left money and written instructions concerning the care of his dog that he knew was already dead and buried. Something surely didn't add up. To complicate matters, Bruce believes he is being followed.
While all of this is materializing, Bruce finds himself in the middle of a relationship breakup with a smart beautiful woman who unfortunately becomes enmeshed in his troubles and, after disappearing for a few days, is found dead. Is there a connection between his uncle and girlfriend's deaths?
Determined to find out what is going on, Bruce comes across his uncle's personal journal concerning his prison experiences in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, some fifty years ago-something he had never discussed with him during his lifetime. Also discovered is a white manilla envelope with a crude, yellowed map with names he didn't recognize. And what really shakes up Bruce is his uncle's note mentioning that if he should find the envelope, he would already be dead. Poring over the personal journal, Bruce uncovers more about the mysterious box and what it contains, particularly, as stated by his uncle, "the thought that he was actually reproducing the dreaded swastikas on a present for the fiend whose grandiose goal was the total destruction of my people."
Half way through the book Bruce meets up with an attractive aggressive Israeli woman, Miriam, who works for security in the Israeli Embassy in Paris. Upon learning what Bruce is up to concerning his uncle's silver box and the secret document therein contained, Miriam insists on helping him track it down. The couple find their way to the Czech Republic and at the same time they are being hunted down by a bunch of nasty and savage neo-Nazis killers bent on finding the box and the document before Bruce and Miriam have the opportunity to destroy it. Let the games begin!
What really sticks out in this novel is that Malnak serves up just the right balance of nonstop chills and thrills. His scenes are crystal clear, permitting the reader to picture every detail, as he deftly weaves together a plot with unexpected twists and turns that never gets boring, thus providing great entertainment. It is a novel that it isn't as if you can't put the book down, but rather you don't dare put it down as readers are hurtled toward a chilling climax replete with plenty of action. In the end, Malnak has succeeded in creating a great intoxicating and breathtaking read that will keep you up at night. Most of his characters are well-realized with the exception of Miriam, who should have been introduced at an earlier stage in the narrative and more fully developed-after all, she does play a vital role in the plot.

Taiwan is our ally as of now, and in the TRA (Taiwan Relation Act) it talks about how we will sell them arms as needed for their self defense, Furthermore. We are treaty bound to go to their defense if war DOES break out, selling arms to taiwan is more like selling insurance to them that we will be there when hell breaks loose.
If Taiwan government is continuing to allow the purchase and distribution of arms then there is no reason that the U.S should stop selling arms. The U.S cannot stop the conflict that is going on in Taiwan. If the U.S stops selling arms to Taiwan it is likely that another country will sell to them.
There is the possibility of having a war between China and Taiwan in the near future since China always want Taiwan to be a part of it's province, Taiwan is a small country and does not have enough weapons. If U.S. Continue to sell weapons to Taiwan, it will have the power to fight with China if war occurs.
I think they should sell arms to Taiwan. If the US didn't sell arms to Taiwan, there are plenty of other countries who will happily step in and sell them arms instead. Also by selling them arms, the US can maintain some influence in the region, and also help the balance of trade deficit as well.
No, we need to stop selling them arms right now, since it is going to end up coming back on us and making us look real bad when the arms that we sold are used to kill a lot of people that did not need to be killed over there.
The US should not sell arms to anyone. The sale of arms not only outrages countries who aren't in good standings with the US or who they are selling arms to, but a lot of times those arms can be used against the US decades down the road. We have fought many past allies.

First an important aside… Pen And Pencil
Last-Time On "Rise of the Runelords Z"
- Judge Ironbriar was found to be leading a cult in the sawmill (or lumbermill if you prefer – they both mean the same thing) and what's his dingus (as he was referred to by fox) as questioned and tied up while the party explored (only to soon fall unconcious)
- Exploring the place the gang found another sihedron medallion, and in the upper areas a office/bedroom like area where the room's walls were covered in dried out faces that had been stretched out and tacked to the wall (ew). Also the sheets on the bed in here were scratchy.
- Above this room, through a trap door was a rookery (rook means raven – see! INSERT LINK) where-in there were found three ravens in a wood and metal cage. Alongside the cage they found a stack of blank papers and a quill for sending messages with the birds.
And now for the continuation…
- As Pam began to lecture North about how it was important to not eat the ravens, the gang tried to decide what to do next. At first they thought they could trick or ensorcell Ironbriar into writing a note for them so that it would lead their quarry to the lumbermill (or sawmill), only to find Ironbriar quite dead.
- The next idea was to try to ask the ravens where they were trained to be sent, but again no one had any way to cast speak with animals and getting a scroll cost money and time.
- Then they thought, what if we follow the ravens to their destination, but they wondered what if it's really far or the raven goes really fast? As a security measure they could forge a note and give them to the ravens, just in case – which at that point the remembered they'd found a journal.
- Examining the journal they found it to be written in elvish, draconic, and infernal using a cypher. Using Comprehend Languages Kizzy deduced she could read it in a couple of days if she focused, but for now the only word she could make out was "Mistress".
- Despite this, it was enough to use as a reference for forging notes, and thus the following note was forged: "Need to meet. Lumbermill. In 2 Nights." (it is important to note that no raves were licked as part of this process)
- Mita released the bird, featherfell out the window, and joined the party on horseback as they followed the raven to a massive clock tower in Magnimar near a bridge called the Irespan. This tower is known locally as The Shadow Clock and looks horribly in disrepair – so much so that it is quite common for people to place bets on how many people it will kill when it falls (Fox's current bet is 15). The tower rose far into the sky (9 floors?) and as it's base had a massive girth of 75ft.
- Inquiring with passers by about the tower, they found some drunk (or high) teenagers (or 20 somethings… damn those millennials… wait aren't I a millennial? what's the cut off for a millennial.. oh right back to to the info they gave us) said that they saw some weird creature living there – one thought it was a giant snake, the other thought it was a hulking man thing (not a penis).
- With information gathered, they returned to the rookery and sent the second raven, only to have it go to the EXACT SAME PLACE, causing Pam to defeatedly exclaim "Fuck", and Fox to run back to the rookery and sent a dick he doodled earlier on with the final raven.
- Any indication of subterfuge was gone at this point, so Fox and Tas snuck into the the main floor to find the internals in a similar state of ruin, piles of plaster could be found heaped on the floor, and 6 offices with collapsed ceilings all had entrances on this floor. Woodenstairs spiraled upwards towards a 4 brass bells hanging far above. Despite all this ruin several sets of medium size and one large misshapen set of footprints could be easily made out on the floor.
- Having seen no signs of danger Fox and Tas returned to get the party, setting marching order and heading upwards… only to have Fox promptly stabbed in the back with something scythe-y. Turning to see thier adversary a large flesh golem had come out of hiding on the main floor. Fox promptly shot it in the face for near massive (47) damage, followed by Pam trying to bluff it with one of the sihedron medallions (did not work), and Tas trying to jump off the stairs only to get hit by the scythe and faceplant onto the ground below.
- After a few more shots from fox (and Mita finding out that magic does shit-all to golems) the golem began to run, and shot it again, shot it TO DEATH.
- On the creature the gang found a cloak of elvenkind (Fox took this), and they also retrieved the scythe, which was magical but unidentifiable at the moment.
- Off to the side, in one of the piles of debris, Mita found a leather sack containing gold, silver, a mirror, and a ring
- And then we faded to black cause we was tireds

So Lesson 20 in Crochet School at the Crafty Minx blog was all about reading patterns. To be honest, I started this project when I was all caught up, at Lesson 17 (granny squares), before Dana had written up and posted the wrist warmer pattern she made for the class. I haven't decided if I'll make the wrist warmers, though, because I can't think of a time I'd wear them. (Either way, free pattern pdf with awesome video instructions here.)
My friend Etienne loaned me her copy of Happy Hooker, which just happened to have a super-easy pattern for a baby hat. I modified it a little — used two colors instead of three, opted to do decrease stitches instead of skipping stitches on the earflaps and nixed the braided ties that should be hanging from the earflaps (because they'll just wind up in baby's mouth). Here are pictures on Ravelry from people who followed the pattern as written.
My patriotic, matted teddy bear is serving as a model right now. I'm thinking this hat is a tad big for the newborn, so I'm going to hold on to it, and probably add matching booties and other goodies, until Christmas, when she'll be about 2 months old. She'll still probably have some time to grow into it at that point, but hopefully it'll fit her before spring.

Whether the Weather is all about Geography?
It seems the planet is just doing it's thing. Apparently we are overdue for an ice age by about 10 000 years (don't quote me on that, just one of those arb facts that "they say") which is characterised by a global drop in temperatures of about 10 degrees celsius. It has happened in cycles throughout the earth's history, and can be the result of global warming caused by green house gasses. bla bla bla... translation... if it gets too hot sindy, be wary of having cold poten soon! I know this is way off topic, but in my mind strangely related... is any one else freaking out about the Middle East Crisis? Maybe it's too hot there and they are losing it, but it seems to be a hellish situation up there.

House overwhelmingly approves Rep. Shaw's metal theft enforcement bill
On March 7, the Georgia House of Representatives voted 168-2 to approve legislation I introduced to address the growing problem of metal theft in our state. HB 872 would place additional purchasing requirements on secondary metal recyclers in order to limit the number of individuals who may sell copper or wire.
The measure would also require that additional information be kept in the records of each transaction, provide for forfeiture proceedings when any copper has been taken illegally and require registration of secondary metal recyclers with the sheriff of each county in the state. Under HB 872, metal buyers would also face civil liability if the law's provisions are not followed and metals purchased were proven to be stolen. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it has been referred to the Regulated Industries Committee for its consideration.
On March 5, another bill that I introduced, HB 931, was approved and sent to the Senate unanimously by House members. This measure would update provisions of state law regarding domestic farmers' mutual fire insurance companies.
Also, I am very pleased that HR 1561, which I introduced to urge the U.S. Department of Labor to withdraw its proposed policies that would restrict young people from working on farms, was favorably reported by the House Industrial Relations Committee. I was especially glad to have Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black in attendance at the committee meeting to speak in favor of the legislation. The resolution, which states that "passing on the family farm to the next generation is vital to the continued survival of the agriculture industry," now awaits action by the full House.
In other business last week, the House voted to approve a $19.2 billion annual state budget for fiscal year 2013, which begins July 1. This is an increase of approximately $700 million over the amended budget for the current fiscal year in light of a 4.7 percent overall increase in revenues over the past eight months.
Education remains Georgia's highest priority, receiving more than 54 percent of the state's appropriated revenues. The House version of the budget includes $23.5 million in funding for the Valdosta State University Health Sciences and Business Administration Building, which is a very important project for our district and all of South Georgia.
Meanwhile Georgia continues to do more with less by eliminating 540 state employee positions. What growth we have seen has been appropriated to essential spending such as market salary increases for certain law enforcement officers and increasing resources for physicians so they will practice in our state.
All in all, Georgia continues to be very fiscally conservative ranking 49th in the nation in per capita spending. The new budget plan, HB 742, now goes to the Senate for its consideration.
House members also adopted a primary recommendation from the 2010 Joint Tax Reform Council by passing the Georgia Tax Tribunal Act. HB 100 will provide a low-cost mechanism for Georgia's citizens to resolve disputes involving taxes that are currently administered under the Department of Revenue. In order to be appointed to the tribunal, a person must have eight years of experience as a tax attorney. This ensures citizens will be able to come before an expert to handle challenges to state tax assessments and denials of state tax refund claims. The tribunal will not have the ability to determine the constitutionality of statutes nor will it replace existing procedures for administratively solving disputes prior to the issuance of a final assessment or refund denial. This tribunal does not limit a citizen's ability to file their matter with the Superior Court and all decisions of the tribunal are subject to appeals to the Superior Court.
Other bills approved by the House and sent to the Senate last week include HB 397, an extensive revision to the state's Open Meetings and Open Records laws; HB 685, which I co-sponsored and would extensively revise the state law governing dangerous and vicious dogs; HB 861, which would require drug screening tests for recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits; HB 972, which would provide the Georgia Composite Medical Board with the authority to license and regulate pain management clinics, part of the state's effort to crack down on the operation of "pill mills"; HB 1114, which would make assisted suicide a felony offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison; HB 1166, which would restore child-only healthcare policies to the Georgia insurance market; and HB 1198, which would allow grandparents to appeal in the court system to visit with their grandchildren if the parents are unable or unwilling to allow such visits.
With this year's session now in its final 10 days, I look forward to working with my colleagues on completing tax reform and criminal justice reform legislation, two of the major items remaining on the agenda. As always, please contact me with your views on the issues or whenever I can be of service.

From the Teachers and classrooms section of http://www.storyofstuff.com/faq.html:
"We have had an enthusiastic response from educators around the world about the Story. We're working with Facing the Future: People and the Planet, a non-profit education organization that provides resources and action opportunities on global issues and sustainability for teachers, students and the public. We're collaborating right now to figure out how to create a curriculum for use in classrooms. Stay tuned; we'll have more information on this in upcoming newsletters."
While this could have been an interesting and educational video, the blatant insertions of ideology are enough to enrage any parent or property tax payer. What is your reaction when you hear Annie Leonard describe the job of the government (minute 2:10 - "It's the government's job to watch out for us, take care of us. That's their job.")? Do you agree? Or do you have a different vision of the government's role in our lives?

Hello! When I started camming, I had no problem to find at least 10 hours for it because even though I was a full time student, camming was my only job. At the end of August I decided to take offer for another job (while I'm still a full time student )which I don't regret cause I needed stable income badly but it took away a lot of time I could have spent on cam. Now I can cam only on weekends for about 6 or 7 hours max which is hard because I don't always feel like the best version of myself. Any tips how to stay motivated, hustle harder, grow my fanbase and earnings while being this busy? Honestly, I love camming way more than my other job which I need to put food on my table. :-/
Also, any advice what to do when at the only free time when I log on it's terribly slow? It's so disappointing sometimes.
Please post any tips you can to help me and other camgirls who might be trying to manage school, vanilla job and camming. I can't be the only one in a situation like this.

It gets better
I have Vogue Knitting from the 1940s.
One non-Vogue treat so far, an issue of "Hand Knits by Beehive" from 1944 includes a small piece of paper that reads "A Necessary War Measure: We regret that we are compelled to ask you to be patient if you are unable to find all the Beehive yarns you want. The usual plentiful supply of these fine imported wools has been curtailed, due to the manpower shortage in Great Britain. We know you will be glad to cooperate at this time, and "Share the Yarn" for Victory!"
Never fear for Beehive…Their ad in Vogue's Knitting Book 7th Edition (1946) reads "Good News! Beehive is back! It is true, Beehive has never been off the market all through the war. However, it has sometimes been hard to find. Now, your favorite of all knitting yarns is back again in quantity at all good stores from Coast to Coast."
So what became of Beehive? Their ad in Vogue's Knitting Book 8th Edition (1947) reads "They won't shrink because they're Patonised" These yarns are imported from Patons and Baldwins, Ltd. Their modern-day descendants can be found in Michael's stores everywhere.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Archie Ashley, 63, agreed to plead guilty Thursday and was sentenced to 15 years in prison for killing Andrew Elliott, 15, in October 2010.
Ashley had been charged with murder, two counts of wanton endangerment and tampering with physical evidence. As part of his plea, the murder count was amended to manslaughter.
Ashley will have to serve 85% of his sentence before he's eligible for parole.
Elliott was spending the night with friends in the Shawnee neighborhood. Ashley told police the three teens had been harassing him and throwing rocks at his home. Witnesses say Ashley told the kids to stop, then pulled out a handgun and fired two shots, one of them striking and killing Elliott.
Elliott's mother, Kim Jarboe, said outside of the courtroom Thursday that she was satisfied with the plea deal and the sentence. She said no amount of time was worth her son's life, but that because of Ashley's age, the sentence he received could amount to the rest of his life.
"I don't know if he'll even see 12-something years," Jarboe said. "He's supposed to have health issues or whatever. You never know. I mean he is 63 years old so you never know how that will play out. That might be the rest of his life."
Ashley's lawyer, Rob Chandler, said his client was not happy about the plea, but "it's business. It's what he had to do given the circumstances."
Chandler said Ashley is remorseful about the shooting.
"He lives with it every day and he thinks about it the first time when he gets up in the morning," he said.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Leland Hulbert said prosecutors made the deal because of concerns about picking a jury.
"He gave a statement to the police that talked about the kids harassing him and you know, we actually looked at a lot community feedback on this," Hulbert said. "There are people, I think obviously, people who have guns and feel the need to protect themselves, feel very strongly in their beliefs and that was a concern about picking a jury and obviously people have a right to bear arms but we think they obviously need to be responsible and Mr. Ashley was in no way responsible."
Jarboe said she will be at the hearing if Ashley ever makes it before the parole board.
She added her son is with her every day.
"My son's memory is never going to leave my mind," Jarboe said. "I have pictures ... I have memories of him so that's going to be around forever."

Wiscasset teen's Olympic dream progresses
Aleeya Jones returned home to Wiscasset July 24 after achieving her highest level of training and competition to date. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida trip continued her work toward the same goal the Suki Lane teen has always had — to make the Olympic volleyball team.
Of the 66 14- and 15-year-olds who qualified throughout the U.S. in the A1 Team USA High Performance girls select event, Jones, 14, was the only New Englander, her mother Julie Jones said. She, Aleeya's father Chad Jones and Aleeya's siblings Madison, 12, and Dylan, 16, also went on the trip, but, as with other events the teen has attended in the Olympic pipeline, the athletes had little time with family.
Aleeya's group ended up getting to play one level higher, with the 17- and 18-year-olds, Julie Jones said. "She did great. She showed everyone that this little Maine girl could do it."

What makes you a grownup? Is it about "being responsible"? Is it having a stable job? Being out of school? Not having raging keggers where you throw records down the hall? What?
When I ask myself this question, I'd like to think that I'm a grownup. However, I'm not legally responsible for anyone but myself. I'm still in school. But I haven't drunkenly thrown records for years. Of course, I've been to night clubs in San Juan, but I also hang out in places like Bethesda, Maryland and talk about math with gray haired men. But those are just things I do.
Isn't being a grownup more about attitude? More about the heart?
I think being grownup means you stop playing the "me first" game and respond to the call of love. You start assuming responsibility for the common good of those around you, especially friends and family. If you marry and have a family of your own, you then have an immediate responsibility for them.
Michael Barone has this to say about coming of age in American society:
From the age of 6 to 18, our kids live mostly in what I call Soft America--the part of our society where there is little competition and accountability. In contrast, most Americans in the 12 years between ages 18 and 30 live mostly in Hard America--the part of American life subject to competition and accountability; the military trains under live fire. Soft America seeks to instill self-esteem. Hard America plays for keeps.
I see the journey to adulthood in more spiritual terms. Think of what St. Paul says in chapter 5 of his letter to the Galations. "I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want."
Let's call the time when we are ruled by the sinful nature, "childhood". We'll know childhood by its fruits, its actions. "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like." Sounds like the standard fare at American universities. And some never grow out of it--think of all the sexual and financial scandals, the worship of the body, the racial and religious hatred, the drug and alcohol abuse. "I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." Yeah, well, at least they'll be having fun. Right? And isn't that what it's all about?
If you answer that in the affirmative, you are not a grownup. And I hope you are not placed in a position of public trust until you are one.
And there is of course hope that you can become one. We needn't stay ruled by the sinful nature forever. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide us to all truth. And the Spirit transforms our base nature into something extraordinary, like a withered tree that suddenly springs to life, bursting with fruit. "[T]he fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." These are the characteristics of a mature person.
"Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires." The mature person still has passions and desires, just not those of the sinful nature.
As Paul says elsewhere, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. . . . Brothers, stop thinking like children." When it's time to grow up, we put the former ways behind us and don't look back. There is much more ahead. So let the journey begin.

|Hi Everyone -
I found what I believe to be a Dracaena on my block this weekend - with a 'Free household plants' sign, so I grabbed it. I have no idea how long it was outside for, but I would assume at least 3 or 4 days in about 50 degree Fahrenheit.
It has two stalks, one is about 3 ft and the other is about 8 feet. Very tough feeling.
However, the leaves are all a bit droopy - with roughly 15% of them a crinkled up dark green color. A good amount of the leaves also look a bit wrinkly.
I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to make it adjust properly. Should I just give it some time? Does it look over or under watered? The soil did feel wet as an FYI.
Also - is it a Dracaena? (I'm new to this)
Nov 3, 2015 4:15 AM CST
| downtownnyc
It looks to be a Dracaena yes. It looks like you already repotted it which would have been the first thing I would have suggested. They like a moist atmosphere and misting it daily will surely improve its appearance.
Nov 3, 2015 9:47 AM CST
|@dutchlady1 I actually did not repot it..would that definitely be advised?
Nov 3, 2015 12:36 PM CST
|I would; usually when a plant is looking stressed there is something going on with the roots. Since it was someone else's houseplant for a while I would definitely consider repotting it.
Nov 3, 2015 12:37 PM CST
|Great - thank you so much for the follow up. If anybody else has recos will gladly take them as well.
Nov 3, 2015 2:06 PM CST
|Hello downtownnyc! I agree with Hetty, try to check the roots below. Maybe the plant has been living in that media for a long time and has compacted so you need to allow the roots to have some breather. You can mix in some perlite or pumice to make the media well draining. Their leaves tend to be dark green color most of the time since it is often grown in low light.
Also when you water this plant, water it thoroughly during the day and allow to drain. Your container has drain holes right? You will have to adjust watering as seasons change, but keep it relatively moist, not soggy. Maybe once a week during winter and a little more when Spring returns. Light levels are lesser during winter, and most houseplants even though indoors tend to slow down too in growth. They will return with better vigor in Spring.
Do you intend to keep that 8 feet height on the tallest one? You can trim that but suggest wait to do it in Spring. New heads will sprout below the cut off part. Then you can also root the top part you have removed.
Nov 3, 2015 2:21 PM CST
|with tarev that in time I would cut off the top.
Nov 3, 2015 2:25 PM CST
|This is great info.
Nervous about the re-potting, I'll be honest. Jumping from a few 8" plants to an 8' has me a little nervous.
Yep - I do have a drainage system out of the bottom. I heard that I should water it with about 1 liter, every 7 or so days. Does that make sense?
I do intend to leave the top for now, but great suggestion. And by root, does that mean creating a new plant in a new pot?
Nov 3, 2015 3:13 PM CST
|It's really hard to kill one of these so go ahead and take the plunge on repotting. The plant will thank you.
The watering sounds about right.
And yes, create a second plant by rooting the top; preferably done in spring.
Nov 3, 2015 3:19 PM CST
|OK - I'm gonna give it a shot. Just to spell out what may be the obvious - I should get new soil, or no?
Thank you!
Nov 3, 2015 3:28 PM CST
|Preferably, yes. Something that drains well (avoid the ones with water retaining crystals).
Nov 4, 2015 6:12 AM CST
|This might help you feel more confident:
The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides.

Nov 4, 2015 12:34 PM CST
|Hi downtownnyc, from me too!
I agree with Dutchlady (Hetty), the Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans) is a tough plant and will withstand quite a bit of abuse.
I have a tall corn plant (an older photo below) that's now looking really, really ratty because it had been sitting in a corner of my back deck without much care this year. A couple of weeks ago I moved it from the deck and I've been trying to decide whether I want to keep it or put it out on the curb for yard trash pick up. The plastic pot is split all the way down the side and and even though the plant looks really awful, I know that with a little TLC it can look good again. I've been out of town for a few days and I'm trying to recuperate from my trip but I might take the time next week to give it a new container with fresh soil and trim it up a bit and removing some of the sad looking leaves. My plant has three stalks in the pot and I'm thinking about chopping them back to make the plant shorter and rooting the cut pieces. I pruned it back a couple of years ago because it was hitting the eaves of the roof and I saved one piece and stuck the cut end back into the same pot where it formed roots within a couple of weeks.

Originally released just seven months ago, TransLattice's Elastic Database (TED), a geographically distributed Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), is getting its second update with v3.0. In addition to the latest SQL sequel, the company also announced that is has joined the Amazon Web Services Partner Network (APN). TED can be distributed across multiple AWS cloud instances, while appearing to the end-user as one cohesive database, which TransLattice said enables exceptional database availability and excellent response time.
"We have now a database that works in the cloud," said TransLattice CEO Frank Huerta. To be precise, he said the DBMS worked in the cloud previously, but it now works with multiple public cloud providers simultaneously, enabling on-premise and cross-cloud deployment, while retaining the ability to control data location via policy. This helps mitigate the risks concerning outages and vendor lock-in, he said. The Santa Clara, CA-based company was founded in 2007 and officially opened its doors in 2010.
"This is a startup, so it took us a few years to get the product and technology right," said Huerta. "You get some early feedback and you go back and make it work right. This (V3.0) really is our industrial-strength database."
After TED's initial release, analysts Enterprise Management Associates called the company an innovating vendor in the database management space. 'By enabling a geographically distributed database, TED provides a simple, efficient way to manage disparate operational data stores. Geographical distribution of data – including relational data – is important for enterprise computing and the cloud. TED offers enhancements in system availability, enriched performance for remote users, ease of scalability and data location compliance for technical and database architects.'
EMA said this approach to enterprise and cloud infrastructure results in reduced costs and deployment complexity, while improving system reliability, scalability and response time. TED allows for organizations to select their implementation choices with options in on-premises license, private cloud and public cloud implementations, and reduces operational expenses associated with database administration by automating many of the management tasks associated with a distributed database.
Last month 451 analyst Matt Aslett noted that there is a significant difference between spinning up a relational database in a VMI on the cloud versus deploying a database designed to take advantage of, enable, and be part of, the cloud, i.e. databases on the cloud, not databases of the cloud. 'To me, a true cloud database would be one designed to take advantage of and enable elastic, distributed architecture.' In addition to TransLattice, he identified several other companies playing in this space, including NuoDB, GenieDB and somebody called VMware, while Google's F1 and Spanner projects have legitimized the concept of the globally-distributed SQL database.
'Either way, the era of the relational cloud database – rather than the relational database on the cloud – has begun.'
Taneja Group analyst Mike Matchett was pretty bullish about the company's offering. TED database nodes can be TransLattice appliances, virtual machines, cloud based instances, or even all of them at once as access, availability, and performance needs dictate; nodes can be added to the database dynamically, and data will automatically get distributed according to policy or performance needs. 'The best part is that SQL applications don't have to be modified or become aware that TED isn't just the same old local SQL database. Since it drops in, scales easily and cost-effectively, and instantly increases global reach and availability, we think TED will go far.'
Evan Quinn, Senior Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, was also optimistic about the D-RDBMS. 'TED represents three years of research and engineering, and is largely the brainchild of CTO and co-founder Mike Lyle, who was convinced distributed database design could stand an overhaul. The trick to making TED a truly geographically distributed database involved: Ripping and replacing the native (1) storage engine and (2) query processor of Postgres, and (3) adding the intelligent policy management. While TED certainly was designed with Hadoop MapReduce in mind, ESG sees deployments focusing on large OLTP opportunities, starting with the usual vertical suspects for groundbreaking technology, financial services and government.
TransLattice, like many early stage database companies, will lean TED go-to-market mainly on executive committee connections to establish an initial customer base. ESG suspects, however, that the unique aspects of TED will drive a healthy amount of voluntary, inbound leads.'
The transition from company push to customer pull has already started, said Huerta. "Over the past few months, we were going to customers, now they're calling us. We need to capitalize on that."
TransLattice has gone back for additional venture capital, which will be primarily devoted to marketing. He said 2013-14 will be very important for the company, with some big installations they're doing now. "We've been through this before… working with key customers… it starts to snowball."

Right now, both sides are too concerned with spying on literally everyone. They are using the terrorists as an excuse, or worse are actually controlling the terrorists toward the goal of monitoring everything and everyone worldwide. I do not trust them at all. The should be an excuse to do many things, but to sift through everyone's life until you find something you don't like? This I don't accept. If the government is literally turned against itself, we will have at least 4 years of freedom. If some of the scum that is in office "Clinton", that expect all of us to obey all the crazy laws but share classified info with china or do other things that any of us would be arrested for actually get prosecuted. That would give us more years of freedom. As far as I see it, the spying isn't just going to hurt criminals. Everything you do on windows 10 is reported back to Microsoft and more than likely the government. If you have a good idea that might make you rich, it might be stolen. All you will know is that when you go for a patent that one for your item already exists. You would never know that it was handed off to someone that already owns a large corporation that can complete the prototype before you can even get started. They just need to fake the dates on when they came up with the idea and it belongs to them.

I am an avid reader who loves sharing the stories I have read with my fellow readers. I enjoy reading Mystery, Legal and Political thrillers, Horror and all types of romance.
Having had the pleasure of reading The Wright Brother, I was glad for the opportunity to read the Wright Boss. The Wright Boss is a stand-alone contemporary adult romance and the second book in the Wright Brother series.
The Wright Boss is Landon and Heidi's story. I first met them in The
Wright Brother and since then I eagerly awaited the release of their story. Landon Wright is a pro-golfer, whose career has hit a snag after suffering a severe back injury. His personal life is not worth much these days as his marriage is an epic failure. After several attempts to salvage his marriage, he realised the impossibility of trying to save something that was not worthy of being saved. As a result, he returned to his childhood home to recuperate and restore some order to his messed up life.
Heidi Martin is an engineer with Wright Construction Ltd. She knew Landon from her time in high school when he dated her best friend. Since that time, they have been good friends, but lately, she has come to realise that her feelings for Landon went deeper than friendship. However, giving into her feelings would lead to her breaking three rules she has lived by when it came to relationships.
1. Do not date your co-worker, especially if he is your boss.
2. Do not get involved with your best friend's ex
3. Never get involved with a married man.
Would she break the rules she has lived by or will she continue to deny her feelings?
I enjoyed this instalment. Truth be told I thought it was better than the previous book. From the moment, I began reading I was held captive by beautiful writing. The pacing was fitting and the story never gave me a chance to feel bored.
I enjoyed Heidi and Landon's interaction with each other. Their attraction was undeniable and their chemistry explosive. Heidi tried to deny her feelings and to keep her distance from the man who held her heart, but this proved difficult. Her situation was made more difficult by the fact that they worked in such proximity to each other. In addition, Landon's determination to have her in his life tested her resolve and placed the thing she held dear in danger.
The situation regarding their relationship was a bit of a grey area. Technically, Landon was married, but he was actively seeking a divorce. I know there are readers who would have preferred if they got involved after the divorce was final and for some, the fact that he was seeking a divorce was good enough. I guess it all boils down to our own sense of morality, and what we believe is acceptable as against what we consider is unacceptable. Anyway, in spite of the grey area, I enjoyed their romance, which I thought was beautifully written. Heidi and Landon's connection ran deep. Their love for each other went through many tests, but in the end, it triumphed, which is a testament to the phrase 'Love conquers all'.
Landon's soon to be ex-wife is a piece of work. His family never liked her and for good reason. She is not only a gold digger, but she is also the most conniving, selfish and manipulative person I have had the displeasure to meet. No wonder Landon could not get from her fast enough. There were moments when I believe she was delusional in thinking that Landon would never leave her. The measures she took to try to stop Landon from leaving her was pathetic. I had no sympathy for her. I am still at a loss as to why Landon gave her so many chances, but I am glad he finally came to his senses and kicked her to the
I admired Heidi for her fighting spirit. She is not the type to wallow in self-pity. She is independent, career-oriented and opinionated. She has been through a lot, but she hid her pain well. She had issues with her dad and as a result, she refused to forgive him. I liked that in the end, she
made the decision to let go of the bitterness and restore her relationship with her dad.
I had some minor issues, and thankfully, these did not hinder my enjoyment of the story. When misfortune befell Heidi because of her relationship with Landon I did not, appreciate how quick she was to blame Landon, yet she accepted her friend's action without putting up a fight. She also failed to acknowledge her part in the situation.
This was an enjoyable read and one that I would recommend to fans of friends to lovers trope. I am counting down the days for the release of the next book in the

In 2012, Shriners International began the Shriners Legacy Program to honor, encourage and recognize the family tradition of membership in the fraternity. The program is open to any male family member related to a Shriner and offers several ways for members to be recognized. Acknowledgments include the gold legacy pin which represents family pride and Shriner lineage, as well as the Shriners Legacy Award which honors the fraternity member who has continued the family tradition and values of Shriners International. Shriners Village will feature stories throughout Legacy Month to honor the generations of Shriners who continue to carry on the legacy of the fraternity.
John F. Sugden Jr., an Aleppo Shriner and employee of Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Boston, participates in the Shriners Legacy program to honor his family tradition and to signify his commitment to the fraternity. Sugden proudly displays his grandfather's fez – one of his most prized possessions – in his office at the Boston hospital. "My grandfather's fez is emblematic of all the care that has been given to children by this great fraternity," said Sugden. When asked about his grandfather's membership, Sugden said he wishes he could speak to his grandfather about the vision and sense of fraternal pride of the men back in 1919.
Sugden wishes to continue his family Shrine heritage by becoming an inspiration and role model to the future generations of Shriners. "To show the young men of today what the true act of serving means while being a member of such a great fraternity," is what Sugden describes as the purpose of his own Shrine legacy.
