Read an Excerpt
Could that be her? Naw. Too much of a coincidence.
Junior justice department attorney Colt Chance stepped out of hiding and into a patch of bright sunlight filtering down onto filthy sidewalks. He squinted, turning his gaze in her direction. The young woman was walking down the other side of the street in the middle of a crowd and he needed a better look.
Just yesterday his brother had faxed a computerized, ageenhanced photo of their little sister, Cami, gone since the age of four. And the woman he'd just seen seemed a perfect match to that photo. She'd stood out in the middle of the group of Mexican-Americans who had appeared to be traveling together down the busy barrio sidewalk. Her lighter skin color and more updated clothing made him take notice.
Forgetting for the moment that he was supposed to be in the middle of a three-agency government sting, he chased the moving tangle of people down the blockthough his orders had been to stay put.
His family had searched for any sign of their kidnapped baby sister in the Southern California area for the past twenty-odd years. And if this could possibly be her, Colt refused to miss his opportunity to find out.
Not that he had seen that much of the rest of his family in too many years to count. But he still cared about them and stayed in contact. His ugly hometown memories were what had kept him away from any reunions. He hated the tiny town of Chance, Texas, and the Bar-C Ranch, and he despised everything they reminded him of and stood for.
But getting a lead on Cami might go a long way toward easing the many mysteries still lingering in his mind about his childhood.
He dashed down the street, heedless of the very real confrontation about to take place. At that moment Manuel Villegro, the federal prosecutor that the justice department secretly had been keeping under surveillance for many months now, pulled his Hummer up to the alley entrance and stopped right next to their informant. Colt's unit had designed this sting to gather evidence proving Villegro had been taking bribesand it was going down now.
Paying little attention, Colt turned the corner, trying to keep one eye on the crowd ahead and one eye on the action behind him. But when he looked up, the group of people he'd been chasing had evaporated. The barrio's streets were suddenly deserted.
Hesitating where he stood and wondering what had changed, he spotted two pickups loaded with men moving ominously in his direction. He got a better look, taking note that the men appeared dangerous and carried long-barreled guns. He figured they must belong to the international arms cartel that had been allegedly bribing Villegro.
Realizing a little late that the inter-agency's sting had probably become a double cross, Colt turned on his heels and started running back toward the other members of his team who'd been waiting in the shadows. The pickups' engines gunned right behind him.
He wouldn't make it back in time.
"Abort the operation," he shouted as he ran and waved his arms above his head. "Get off the street now. Move. Move."
He never heard the first sound of gunfire when the bullets struck him in the back. But pain became his entire focus as he tried to take a few more steps.
The next thing he knew rounds from illegal weapons started echoing off buildings everywhere and the stench of gunpowder irritated his nostrils. A smoky haze settled over the entire scene, making it tough to see who was who. Several bullets found their marks then and took him to his knees.
Damn. He'd screwed up. Lost his chance.
His last thought, before everything went black, was now he might never find out what had happened to his baby sister.
Colt woke up from the nightmare soaked in sweat and breathing hard. The same way he came awake every time he'd suffered through that damned old dream.
"You okay, little brother?" Sam, his eldest brother, leaned over him, a look of deep concern spreading across his face.
God, how he hated this. Hated being thought of as an invalid. Hated being forced to come back to his home-townto the Bar-C Ranch.
The early-morning sun beat down against the wooden porch where he sat, giving everything a false golden hue.
"Just great." Colt couldn't avoid a grimace as he slowly straightened up in the rocker and then came to his unsteady feet beside his eldest brother.
"That same nightmare again?"
"Yeah," he admitted. Only it wasn't a nightmare. He'd lived through every second of that whole nasty scenario six long months ago.
"You sleep in that chair all night?" Sam studied him with serious intent. "Something the matter with the perfectly good king-size bed inside this old mobile home? Travis and I worked our butts off stuffing the danged thing into the place and setting it up alongside Mama's old office furniture."
"I haven't been sitting in the chair for long," he answered reluctantly. "And there's nothing wrong with the bed. I woke up early, came out for air and fell asleep again waiting for sunrise." Only a slight exaggeration. He'd been out here on the porch since 3:00 a.m.
Sam gingerly sat on the porch's top step and gazed at the sunrise. "We're worried about you. Living out here on the range in this temporary mobile Mama used to use as an office is crazy. And you're not entirely healed yetonly one month out of the rehab hospital. It's not right."
"Grace sent you." It wasn't a question. Colt knew who worried the most in his brother's family.
Sam huffed under his breath. "I'm every bit as worried as my wife is. Maybe more. I know how it feels to be suspended from your job.
"What the hell are you doing, Colt? Why not work harder at getting well so you can go back and fight for your job?"
"I'm not sure I want my job back." Well, damn. That was the first time he'd admitted such a thing out loud.
He knew their conversation was far from over, so he folded up his tall frame and sat next to Sam. Figuring his admission would trigger an interrogation, he rested his elbows on his knees and waited.
It didn't take his eldest brother long. "No? Then what do you want?"
May as well say it. "Answers. I want to know what happened to Cami. And I intend to find out who really killed Mama." There was one more thing he'd like answers about, too. But Colt wasn't quite ready to admit that one yet.
"Well, yeah." Sam turned his head, staring at him with another thousand questions in his eyes. "The rest of us want those kinds of answers, too. Gage perpetually searches the internet for any word on Cami. And I've combed that barrio where you think you spotted her every time Grace and I take the kids out to Southern California to visit her grandmother. We all want the same things, so what's different now?"
"Now is different because I intend to prove that our father did not kill our mother. Once and for all, I want to clear his name."
Sam's lips tipped up at the edges like he was about to smile, but he stayed sober and thoughtful enough to say, "Man, that's a real cold case. Almost twenty years ago. Going to be tough tracking down any new evidence."
Thank goodness Sam refrained from mentioning the fact that Colt was not the most skillfully trained investigator in the family. But if desire and heart counted for anything, Colt would get the job done where others may have failed.
"You don't believe Daddy did it, do you?"
Sam rubbed at his chin for a moment. "Naw. I don't guess any of us thinks that. But do you have any other suspects in mind?"
Colt knew what his brother was asking. Nearly twenty years ago the Chance County sheriff had rushed through their mother's murder investigation, convicted their father and sent him off to die in prison. And every one of the Chance boys had wondered about his true motives thenand now.
"Austin McCord still sheriff in this county?" he asked by way of answering Sam's question.
"Yeah, he is. Just older. And even pricklier, if that's possible. Gonna be tough getting any information from him."
"Don't think I'll be asking him for info anytime soon." Colt intended to begin in a much more indirect way rather than by head-on assault. "There're plenty of people from back in those days still living in Chance that I can interview, aren't there?"
"Some. But you'll still need to see the old files, if any of them still exist. It'll be important to take a look at the forensics done at the time and to read the sheriff's interviews. Time dims memories. Eventually you'll have to go through the sheriff to look at whatever he kept."
The idea actually brought a smile to Colt's lips. "Eventually. Maybe. In the meantime, I have a few ideas on how to get information that don't include asking."
Sam got to his feet and drilled him with a steely stare. "None of Chance County's files from that long ago were ever put on computer. So I'm guessing I don't want to know what else you have in mind, do I?"
"Probably not, big brother." Colt stood, too, and even managed a half smile. "So, tell Grace I'm just fine. I'm healing nicely and plenty happy about not having anyone around to bug me."
"I'll tell her. But look, we're actually flying to California with the kids tomorrow and staying with Grace's grandmother for a couple of weeks. Why don't you move to our house while we're gone?"
Sam and Grace and their two little ones were living in the old Chance homestead, where the family had been raised. And where their mother had died. They'd remodeled the old place some, but as far as Colt was concerned the ghosts remained.
"I don't think "
"Tell you what, I'll leave you my key and the security code. You'll be a heck of a lot more comfortable at the house than you are here. And the hands will be available to cook and clean. No one will bother you. I promise."
When Colt remained unconvinced and let it show, Sam added, "I haven't had time to go through all of Mama and Daddy's papers since we moved in. Daddy's old combination library and office is still just like he left it. Maybe you can find something to help in your investigation there."
Sam screwed up his mouth and then went on, "And everything you find in our house will be obtained legally."
Colt held in the grin and nodded. "Maybe."
But meanwhile he intended to work his own version of an investigation. Doing it legally was the least of his worries.
Deputy Lacie McCord stretched and yawned as she left the Chance County sheriff's station for the night, heading out across the nearly empty parking lot toward her car. She'd just pulled a double shift, thanks to the Yardley boy who'd started a fire in his neighbor's barn. And she was filthy and exhausted.
She didn't really mind doing the extra duty. The sheriff's staff and volunteer fire department both being short-handed was the reason she'd managed to snag this position in the first place. Her stepfather, the sheriff, would never have hired her had he not been desperate. The two of them hadn't spoken since the day she'd fled town right after high school. Not until she'd applied for the job.
He didn't hide the fact that he'd never much cared for her, and the feeling was mutual. But hating her stepfather with a passion that bordered on obsession hadn't stopped her from wanting to work for him.
Too many questions remained unanswered in Lacie's mind to stay away from Chance forever. And when her mother was committed to a nursing home after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and the deputy's job happened to come up at the same time, she'd finally accepted that the only way to live a full life would be to return home and find her answers.
Settling into her ancient Subaru and belting in, she turned up her nose at the way the interior smelled. Like barbecue brisket and garden mulch. Not such a pleasant scent, but there wasn't much she could do about it.
Next to her car, the sheriff's department pickup she'd used on patrol today sat parked and locked for the night. It was a strong temptation to change over to the better-smelling county-owned vehicle for the ride home. Chance County only employed four deputies and three part-time dispatchers, and all of them but her drove county vehicles to and from work.
But to her mind, it just didn't seem right for the sheriff's stepdaughter to drive a county car for personal use. What would the townspeople think?
If she had to work for the bastard, which it seemed at least temporarily she did, no one would have a reason to complain about nepotism. Not if she had something to say about it.
She cranked the key while staring out the bug-ridden windshield toward the long, low brick building housing the sheriff's department. When she'd come back to town to take the deputy's job, she'd learned the "new" building had been erected five years ago. Constructed courtesy of Travis Chance, the head of the Bar-C and owner of much of the land in Chance County. His donation, in addition to a massive fundraiser the town had put together, gave them enough money to modernize the whole sheriff's department.
Computers and air-conditioning and brand-new patrol trucks. Chance County had updated their sheriff's office as if it were a department as large as one in the city of Houston. She knew about one of those, as she'd been employed there for the past few years before coming here.
Her Subaru wheezed, hesitated and finally rumbled to life. But still she sat and stared. Something seemed off.
Only Louanna, the part-time dispatcher, should be in the building at this hour. Yet a light had just gone out in one of the storage rooms in back. If it was Louanna moving around back there, that would mean she wasn't doing her duty at the front desk. Didn't sound like the woman.
Lacie tried to focus on the outside perimeter of the building, though deep pitch-darkness everywhere but at the front kept her from seeing too clearly. Was that something, or someone, moving through the shadows in back?
On pure instinct, her right hand went to the gun at her hip. Now she felt sure something was wrong.
Leaving her car running in Neutral, she quietly stepped out and headed across the parking lot toward the rear of the building. If this was an employee coming back to retrieve something they'd left at work, she would apologize and feel foolish.
But if this were someone breaking in
Breaking into the sheriff's offices? Who would be stupid enough or drunk enough to do anything like that? And why?
Adjusting her eyes to the low light coming from the stars and half-moon, Lacie bent at the waist to make herself a smaller target and started through the sage and brush surrounding the building. She heard a slight rustling, and then footsteps against the hard, packed ground. Finally she saw the silhouette of a man, creeping along the edge of the building.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Guess the perpetrator took that as a rhetorical question, because he took off running as if he'd been shot.
Ah, hell. After a day of physical strain doing her job, now she was forced to chase down an intruder?
From what she could see, he was a big guy. But with a lean build. Just her luck, he'd probably be a runner.
"Stop!" Another seemingly useless statement, as he never slowed down. So she set off to catch him across the darkened fields.

Danko Jones
Marking the beginning of Danko Jones' commercial ties to Europe, I'm Alive and on Fire was released in Europe by the Swedish label Bad Taste Records. The band's full-length album debut, Born a Lion (2002), was its first major-label release, distributed in Canada by Universal Music Group; Bad Taste Records continued to release the band's music on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. We Sweat Blood followed in 2003 under the same arrangement. For Danko Jones' next album, Sleep Is the Enemy (2006), they remained with Bad Taste Records in Europe yet switched from Universal to the independent label Aquarius Records in Canada. Never Too Loud followed in 2008 under the same arrangement.
Recorded at Studio 606 in Los Angeles with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, whose credits include the Foo Fighters (One by One, 2002; In Your Honor, 2005) and Velvet Revolver (Contraband, 2004), Never Too Loud was Danko Jones' most commercially successful album to date in Europe, particularly in Germany, where it became a Top 40 hit. In February 2009 the group released the appropriately titled B-Sides, followed in 2010 by its fifth full-length, Below the Belt. The following year, Danko Jones announced the departure of longtime member Dan Cornelius, who was replaced by Angels & Airwaves drummer Atom Willard. In 2012, Danko Jones returned with their sixth studio album, Rock and Roll Is Black and Blue. The year 2014 saw the release of Garage Rock!, a collection of rare and unreleased early recordings cut between 1996 and 1998. Rich Knox became Danko Jones' new drummer in time to play on the sessions for the album Fire Music, which was released in February 2015. Wild Cat, a set where Jones put his fascination with women front and center, followed in March 2017. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Mut and Merloni discuss the rule changes across professional sports that are changing the way the games are being played. From the NFL with kickoffs to Major League Baseball with their newest home plate collision rule, the games we have been accustomed to watching are changing. Is this a good thing?
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
And Sanchez delivers. Swing and a chopper to the right side runner trying to score in -- -- going to play a collision he is going to be out of home. Ross colliding with a bailout he knocked him backwards. But at -- held on the baseball Red Sox did play contact. Implanted in a perfect role in two runs on mile line and that number two.

Sell you OK with -- you like the direction of sport and apparently heard something were talking about you wanna jump of the conversation here I. It's again I'm just I guess I'm getting so frustrated. With where the where the ownership is going. With full on professional and I think we have to get the owners out of sports. I it's it's like you go to Europe. I'm not but you know -- he would be to get out -- well nobody that we big television we have to put among the silence -- Jerry Jones have his hands in the pie in an error could lock you want a coach that team. But that's what -- look at all the sports and look you know look play I play. It might you you've played us more why do you plot points. I think you've played some high schoolers some -- real champions aren't aren't yards away a volley ball launcher academy -- arm can pull it -- -- talking about as you've got pro sports and they're the greatest athletes on the planet. That people are trying to expect them to make eight. Split second decision I'm on the -- doing twenty miles an hour the guys coming up. Guys to a 22 miles an hour he left the right change direction in a split second. My job -- -- is to physically put a body on him but it didn't not like attempted to get to where he's going. He he his head in a position where I go to hit safely he moves. Six inches I -- my shoulder and helmet. There's no call on the ice I did. Right Shanahan said and it says channel etc. after I get it. My team my fans got to watch me sit in the bath I sit in the stands for three games and I get a 50000 dollar fine baseball. You know right. So we know massive speed get right up enough. He charging around third right he's charging around -- he's got the green light third base coach arms -- -- light sweet Lou keep the speed. -- -- the characters make these come round at full speed I'm gonna split second -- looking at the -- to exercise right that's what you do read it to you right here at US assess the situation. In any you're expected to make some sort of major transformation in in where you're going and what you're doing in a split second because it gets dark. Like when you're winning you can you know yes full control of the ball -- not full control the ball and then -- then -- and innuendo which happened your tablet -- Time is the only time that would be the third base coach sends me -- potential fate. I did a bad move bad call but they're based data -- assembly from up that -- now I gotta run the guy but it's illegal to like at least do this and feel fine about it right but some wicked so. So now are you so you make the split decision. I you don't think yes the bossy you're you're going to the plate again a dislocated shoulder. And then Major League Baseball has elected to last week well and you're gonna be says you know it's gone gone for like four games. Red Sox fans gonna miss it could be -- -- you know whoever it is you major player who am I mean it's just I I get it I get it. But it's a big boys sport played by big boys a sign contracts you -- do it -- motivation NFL the same morning. They should put the onus is it more players' safety. Or is it more fear being -- I I think I you know I think it's about the latter I think it's about -- it's about being sued. And yet again in other that they're just gonna throw the Olympics in your face. Now we just gonna say -- you just watch the greatest hockey that's been played by the greatest players all over the world there was no fight series you know that no one got suspended. I don't ours is up does a freaking knee on knee hit on the boards but that's what we that's the kind of. Hockey away we knew exactly candidate and a seven game series. My game six we could be going on exactly -- we're gonna go to -- right. Ellen and wouldn't be pushed pushing -- to get a cheap shot be trying to drop out -- I hear we're -- billion -- about the Olympics that thing on the ATP text like 37 I -- except it's saying the same told by the but this is -- -- these are and maybe people wrong about this and I. I can't see this maybe you did of people are saying that the stick work in the Olympics was very dirty. You -- a lot of dirty stick work because and after the fact there was no fighting Illini hockey fans are saying this is why you actually needed. In this sport and don't say hey there were no fights it was clean but but again not orders plus the. Or no would have broken broken mr. broken -- of -- -- makes the point that I that I it Daiwa's. I'm making with the limits when they throw when the owners -- -- the Olympic thing I yet you're gonna be like but. If those -- Those teams play defense played the -- seven games up to be mayhem front Canada USA -- -- -- mayhem that's about it changed a little bit there's so much speed our core you know a nice guy -- -- -- run from -- but again you know -- the body and. We're here we're going back to making my point you know get your hands out of the pot. Yes you come back to North America and you play -- this delicate -- -- the richest fifteenth. Fifteen feet thinner yeah okay so people are gonna run into people there it's -- it's a -- hit you put bodies on everybody. I just it's it's just driving me crazy. -- -- The owners and do the -- find masters and the people that are trying to dictate. Can we just not all admit. That athletes. Put time in twelve months a year they take care of their bodies they are bigger faster stronger and better. Hockey players. People are gonna get pang -- Especially look at the Olympics you know you're looking at. You know you look at it like that -- and it's a Crosby and Bergeron. Right I mean so. Everybody's top lines all the steel players right you know. They'll third liners are out there -- -- fourth liners are out there that a physicals we come back the US you know if you -- line. There and check in lines you put a bunch of a skill guys Phil Kessel. And he -- eagle practically Olympic hockey the rest -- characterize -- so capitals last minute -- let's just play in a big issue guys but the but the budget skill players. And that's what I wanna do that's how wanna play and -- back -- let's get it around. Again if that if that apparently you can't tell me that that hockey this year was was better than Gardocki that was played in Vancouver on the smaller. On the smaller surface it was it was better told us is better and better faster. Everywhere it was it was awesome and I you know I feel bad because I spent I spent the whole Olympics two reading Phil Kessel Sony's finally over the -- he's -- at -- playing. Out of his mind he's the best on the planet and then they they need a -- the last. I -- -- allies eager to put that I Cassel -- I think that did the team -- lot of writes I doubt they -- game they got it they got pushed back from Canada LB played react well basically -- play date they played for the Olympic gold in the semifinals against him and kept him up short. And I think he checked out mentally. But that's of -- but you know again I Wear it where it is is stuff. You know I. And -- you know I'm I'm pumped I mean were back 25 games in seventeen games in March the Bruins were gonna have our all every day it's it's phenomenal. You know -- -- crates in and Chara they're gonna be playing like it's there and they're in slow motion their you know I mean the league is in slow motion doesn't just come back from playing against the best in the world were. A great opportunity to complain out of his mind. Outside of -- that the Russians trying to kill. I mean I don't know if that was -- I plus is that -- is that -- We have to Gilani said wooten was in the stands looking -- you know looked at everybody what you wanna -- -- Jay Witasick. It raised about our final -- and are now with the Daytona 500 his dad number three it's back to me it's incredible in the -- NASCAR is back from him huge race there. So I'm -- I'm -- fired up. Fired up man elected seven LB back in the house I got a guy who played baseball talking about collisions I got a -- -- -- played hockey over here talking about the way if it did of the fighting and how it's impacted his sport of football guy. That it got to the sports I'll be honest the one that the rules recently died to give had the least effect on my family in my. Impact of viewers in football when Matt Chatham played the NFL and we're talking about rules the guys who played in Chatham joins us here. -- it's not -- and LB how are you are -- and Medicaid bad you had the a great we just always got an optimistic now that com -- tweeted so when did it defenseless guys run. I just. Now is that the -- you know my old agent that I imagine got to go after these guys got a quarter of the market at the central player. He can be -- into the start of the the principal players. Do you think -- know -- talk about different sports obviously fighting in NHL collisions at home plate. Beat NFL of the do you think they're getting carried away with the rules or is it something they got to change with the times is -- changing the sport. Are of course I think they're getting carried away I mean I you know what I understand why I mean I think it's all the reasons the litigation I think people. All -- care you know they just build up a new rule does sort of buffer themselves in case of this case of that it's. It every time one single incident happened to come up with a new piece of and the legislature I just for our for our particular sport so I think there's a reason why it happens but I think it becomes cumbersome I think. That's why we're having these these silly conversation about you know centralized replay and the idea that former officials -- now to media media jobs because. Somebody's got translate this. It is whether or what gets overly burdensome this is what happens. To a it football least though I saw when they took up the kick -- and all this is that this is the major button for you I'm gonna set you off on the -- they took the kick off for turns out they present what I thought was at least some sort of numbers were Greg -- I'll remember him. He did a study at Rutgers and is player at it would grant got hurt and it went back and looked to kick off returns in the -- looked as businessmen hammer head injuries on these plays if we take them out. -- lower the number and mobile hold the NFL and maybe it's just their bookkeeping would have you believe the last couple years kick off returns are down and as a result of that. Concussions -- those plays are down they fear that those high impact plays were a big issue do you believe that's the case or was that 88 PR spin -- just. Try to get the kick off returns pushed up the five yards and down what 700 returns in the last two and a half years. Yeah I it's not a matter of me believe it or not I don't cannot be true and I think there's. There is obviously he did a lot of been going on with a -- the last several years of course you're gonna have. You know purportedly left of those things but you have to to believe any of that you first have to believe that. It was recordable -- mean a concussion is not a bright line incidents. You know there's there's collision with -- go on each and every each and every play and that the book thing that sort of always drove me -- for the you know the player I had to do. The most violent -- back kickoff when I was in the wedge that I had been hit the wedge on the flip side of it. But that's said if you're you know adversity -- Johnson now. Like the mail and those guys you're every bit as violent collision for the middle linebacker spot go about it -- -- pullback. There are a number of different place -- -- -- in the planet street whenever -- get -- -- your comment out. -- -- running these kind of collisions are all over the football he'll be ideal to pick one play out just pertain to the sort of you know that was ridiculous because. There's nothing -- -- what it's inherently more dangerous than any other place other than the wedge. And the wedge they attempted to water down but what told you that they never really meant that it was -- yes. Once they become couple -- -- -- wedged up. But they allowed him to stay with a two man wedge in and have a third guy who could be with the arms linked to watch the film it still happens there's. No problem leaving it and there. We told you it was BF from the beginning. Well now what frustrates me area is you know with with the whole video replay like it did there it. They add so much gray area for the officials and for the players. When you're playing of the game you make a play a contact play you make a hit there's no flag. They go to the video after the game. Guy -- fine. Fifteen bucks -- -- a suspended game ads gray area to both the DB official and the player on how he's gonna approach that -- the next time same same thing and occupy it by get a guy and I get a clean he happens to -- three inches my shoulder had some. On they had. He's still continues in the game -- am excited after. EE gets find you get suspended whatever it is that -- gray area today it's a player in the official and it just makes it worse it makes it worse for every. Yeah I agree just because. I think it it's in good faith I mean I understand where their common problem but they're just that part of the reality of sport that. You know you have. Hundred collisions and gamer if -- whatever happened to be -- could honestly say that you made it defended the decision prior to each of those fifty. The -- -- look the the split. It happens in a moment right on the idea that they. That -- you know sort of litigated and intense as if that was people what was going on to me is just it's it's foreign it's not really -- work. So the idea that they are gonna come in deciding whether document to do it metal sort of elevate the level of the penalties. And all of kind of stopped it's just that disconnect now between probably goes on the field right. So Medicare we agree that I think a lot of the so called we really -- W safety really is more lawsuit kind of behind -- that's kind of where this thing -- -- Is is that the trying to get the and word of the NFL adjustable PR quite frankly on anything. I heard an interesting comment from someone on on on Twitter about this. And you know I I understand the third or fourth you know obviously. If you'd in the event that you opened up endorse -- got to find all the words to me that it's derogatory to any particular race now the outlook if you took the master list basically. I also thought all the points that. Still -- vehicle does it. And maybe their there may do the world press troll. Quite frankly -- They sort of put you will wind up 32 off season and get everyone all fired up we have discussions for three or four months that we keep critical topics in the news but what does it does seem like something that. You know it won't -- it a million times more than it'll actually have an effect. And maybe you'll eventually get instituted what if you think of all the little things that we sort of antagonize them you know to sort of -- -- -- -- each and every off season. They've sort of been a big deal but as one of those things coming I think it's welcome that kind of have the comments that application kind of -- Back -- difficult actually sort of the force but. You know let it seems to be I'll have a few things amid growing because it keeps people I think these people pocket. So so you think it's who -- -- being answer that they don't truly are not trying do just died at the start. A change in the culture of the NFL locker room. All I think there are serious about that word but I just think it is it's unrealistic to start you know policing. How people speak the. Both fifteen hour flight -- a little bit out -- hi I. Does -- -- -- -- -- why haven't seen it if it if they truly do. I I can't wait for the first official way you know you know men -- we were were debating -- each really believes that no flagler -- thrown by it. But. I mean if if you got to fifteen and fifteen yard penalty for using the word would you would you use it again. I mean I I wouldn't use it again. -- it's you know it's at that's -- It's emotional word (%expletive) I'll save a alleged baseball they don't -- good -- toward a map. Sometimes you know you updating your ball whatever you all that somebody that -- Elvis and making use it's out it's not so the next mutual just comes out. You wouldn't you wouldn't but you wouldn't go to win when they have the -- to a -- the game's on the line you could cost your team the game you're gonna be conscious about. What words arts are set or not that. Well you -- to -- big big component of this in our particular game is. The idea being wired up. You know and that I think that really -- -- because now. You know you have that. Ability yeah off putting game on that you put a name on the action. Exactly -- -- -- they could go back and watch the -- -- I mean you're not the people are stupid I mean you can read what you could do people let. Every bit as individuals or white guys use of that word with black guys which just moral warning bureau of the world entirely. And you know I'm sure there's a certain amount of that agreement goes on but sometimes the TV -- can catch it I can't say that you know about the work -- out there are -- -- did notice that putt. I think the the news sort of a world of microphones and never once had electronic stuff -- through you know quite sensitive about it. Yeah it's interesting because that they're there are other ways to go about it they may choose to go on the field instead of off the field and Herm Edwards -- -- -- to say about that we're gonna have that for him now I. I appreciate your input on this I know it's a hot button topic for you though the trend of the NFL and I'll look for talking on the road are -- here there is an Irish had a former patriot joins us the route wanted to. I get a feeling for him Andy's. I guess he -- a lot of people who were texting and calling in here today that -- this -- all the lawsuits and less about safety united soldier when you ask me. I wish I -- city earth say this is just think you know live in a world the rainbows and lollipops and it is about -- it should be. But it just felt more and more like it's about a former players at NFL alumni that lawsuit and the NFL opened up everybody's side. And -- you know CT Easter come into play right -- yes with some of the hockey players that just passed. The big story that while there there's ten tank guys in a suit.

Building One Nation: A Study of What is Being Done Today in Schools, Neighborhoods, and the Workplace
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund - 1996
Executive Summary
In December of 1995 the Leadership Conference Education Fund (LCEF) received a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to examine the dynamics of race and intergroup relations within three major realms in American society -- educational institutions, neighborhoods, and the workplace. Systemic problems would be addressed, and effective programs that promote constructive race relations would be explored. The goal of the project was to assist the Mott Foundation and other funders in their work on race relations by identifying strategies that reduce prejudice and promote intergroup understanding.
Through roundtables on education and integrated neighborhoods and community programs, interviews with academicians and practitioners, site visits, and an extensive literature review, we have collected information on the current state of intergroup relations and how to promote positive interaction within each of the three major societal institutions. Our report presents a summary of the research and a series of snapshots of successful programs in schools, neighborhoods, and the workplace.
The 144 page report provides a context for the discussion of race relations, an examination of the topic's complexity, a summary of the research on the development of racial attitudes, separate chapters on improving intergroup relations within the institutions examined (schools, neighborhoods, and the workplace), as well as community programs, an extensive bibliography, a list of organizations around the country working on intergroup relations, and final thoughts and suggestions for next steps.
Below, we outline the topics discussed in the report and present our final thoughts:
Moving Americans From Assimilation To Diversity As Our Civic Ideal
Race has played a paradoxical role in American society since the founding of the country. While our racial and ethnic diversity has been a source of great strength, it has also been our central moral challenge. Our nation has made great strides in addressing prejudice and discrimination during this century. Laws that denied citizenship to people because of their race or ethnicity have been repealed. Discrimination at the ballot box and in housing, employment, education, and public facilities is illegal. Segregated lunch counters, movie theaters, water fountains, and restrooms are no longer part of the American landscape. Racial tolerance and understanding have increased manyfold. At the same time, research and everyday experience demonstrate that discrimination continues to infest American society, resulting in lost opportunities for too many individuals.
The notion that American pluralism is a tapestry of vivid hues celebrating our differences has not completely replaced the assimilationist pluralism prevalent at the turn of the century. Just how far we have traveled along the continuum between adopting assimilationism and embracing diversity is difficult to say. But as we near the millennium, there exists in some communities a vision of an America in which difference is accepted as our legacy, challenge, and strength.
Improving Intergroup Relations: What Do We Mean?
In the course of our work, we have found it useful to discuss three distinct and important aspects of improving intergroup relations. The first is prejudice reduction. The second is appreciation and creation of intergroup contact situations in which the debate is implicitly or explicitly engaged. The third is translation of the debate into action designed to transform institutions and norms -- changing racial attitudes by changing racial practices. Although different approaches are appropriate for different ages, groups, and institutional settings, these are the three most common arenas in which to engage Americans in dialogue about diversity. Some programs may encompass all three approaches, while more modest programs will focus on one or two. Most experts believe that institutional change drives behavioral change, which in turn has the power to change attitudes, and that there is considerable overlap.
Development of Racial Attitudes
This chapter presents a review of the research on racial attitudes from early childhood through adulthood. Different approaches to prejudice prevention and reduction, intergroup contact, and activism toward transforming institutions are highlighted for each age, depending on how appropriate and effective they are likely to be. While the importance of early intervention is stressed, tools for attitude change in adulthood also are addressed. There are many points of entry for positively improving intergroup relations. The earlier and longer lasting the intervention, the better. Yet racial attitudes can be changed for the better at any age.
Educational Approaches And Strategies (K-12) A school is a natural setting in which to forge enduring bonds among children from different backgrounds. Research -- primarily in integrated educational situations -- clearly demonstrates that when individuals are permitted to deal with one another across racial and ethnic lines in cooperative, equal-status activities with plenty of room for one-on-one exchanges and with support from authority figures, there is an excellent chance that positive intergroup relations will evolve. In this section we consider numerous strategies for improving the rapport among children in Kindergarten through high school, under the following headings:
- Curriculum Reform
- Training and Retraining of Teachers
- School Desegregation
- Cooperative Learning
- Paired Programs
- Conflict Resolution
- Youth Leadership Training in Desegregated Settings.
Diversity In Higher Education
Given the level of segregation in our nation's communities as well as in our primary and secondary schools, many students meet across racial lines for the first time when they reach college. Colleges and universities therefore play a pivotal role in conveying an appreciation of American diversity and in breaking the cycle of intolerance.
In this chapter we review research on some of the barriers inhibiting positive intergroup relations on campus and promising initiatives that have made a difference. We summarize recent research on how diversity affects students. The bulk of the chapter details a case study at the University of Michigan because it devotes substantial energy to challenging institutional racism and to organizing a range of opportunities for students and faculty to tackle diversity issues. This section also reviews the approaches that many institutions of higher education are taking to adapt to the changing realities on their campuses.
Integrated Neighborhoods
In this chapter we discuss integrated neighborhoods -- the site of Americans' physical homes, in cities and in suburbs -- that have struggled to maintain their history of positive intergroup relations, some for up to three decades, as well as more recently desegregated neighborhoods whose diversity occurred quite by chance. We discuss several subjects:
- Residential segregation in the 20th Century
- Research on integrated neighborhoods that grew out of the civil rights movement
- A recent study of two types of stable communities that have maintained their diversity for as long as 30 years
Also included are brief case studies of Oak Park, IL; Shaker Heights, OH; West Mount Airy, PA; and Columbia, MD.
Community Programs
In spite of the palpable sense of frustration over the state of racial and ethnic relations, there are many promising local multiracial initiatives that spring from a common desire to improve intergroup relations and a deeply felt need for connection. The desire for honest, and meaningful conversation, especially about race, provides an impetus for many groups. These local initiatives use different points of entry, rely on different analyses of the problem, and address different aspects of the challenges faced by a diverse society. Some of them work toward individual attitudinal change, while others concentrate on combating institutional racism. This chapter provides examples of community initiatives culled from across the country.
Intergroup Relations In The Workplace
When LCEF began this project, we believed that, of the three societal institutions we were to examine, the workplace might hold the greatest potential for addressing intergroup relations. The workplace alone enables adults to spend a significant portion of their daily lives with individuals from different racial and ethnic groups. We found, however, that enhancing intergroup relations is not a high priority on the business agenda.
What is needed is an integrated approach to diversity that includes policies, programs, and strategies that empower every employee to perform to his or her full potential, unencumbered by obstacles that lead to an uncomfortable work environment. Affirmative action is essential to increase the numbers of underrepresented individuals. In addition, a commitment to diversity requires leadership from the top.
Final Thoughts
1. Efforts to improve intergroup understanding should be grounded in knowledge of the links among race/ethnicity, discrimination, and poverty. Recognizing that discrimination, historical and present day, helps to cause the level of poverty experienced by communities of color is an important component.
2. Improving intergroup relations within institutions must also include an examination of how institutional policies, practices and arrangements may contribute to unequal distribution of benefits based on race. Thus, for example, within educational institutions such efforts must be coupled with the broader issue of school reform. As one educator commented, race relations are not likely to improve in a school where the honors classes are predominantly white and the lower level classes are predominantly minority.
3. In many cases, institutional arrangements will need to be changed so that people will meet on the basis of equality. As reported in the chapter on higher education: "Institutional change helps not only ensure success in student recruitment and retention, but also improves all students' satisfaction, academic success, cognitive development and commitment to diversity." In the workplace chapter, we state: "There is little chance...that a workplace will undergo the fundamental change necessary to challenge institutional racism without a systemic approach that integrates diversity into every facet of an organization's business strategy....Such an approach includes implementing policies, programs, and strategies that empower every employee to his or her full potential, unencumbered by obstacles that lead to an uncomfortable work environment."
4. Research dating back at least to 1954 clearly demonstrates that the optimal conditions for improving intergroup relations are active exchanges between people of equal status in pursuit of common goals who are given the opportunity to interact as individuals, and when such interaction is supported by authority figures. While dialogue is not a goal in and of itself, it is an important and necessary starting point. As David Shipler writes in his book, A Country of Strangers, "Talking about race is one of the most difficult endeavors in America. Shouting is easy. Muttering and whining and posturing are done with facility. But conversing -- black and white, white with black -- is a rare and heavy accomplishment. The color line is a curtain of silence." LCEF would expand Shipler's comments to include other racial and ethnic backgrounds.
5. Many of the programs highlighted in the report and others have compiled impressive records based on the responses of program participants. What is needed are more in-depth evaluations that assess changes in attitudes and behavior both short-term and long-term. Also needed are longitudinal studies that track the impact of desegregated experiences and integrated neighborhoods on the attitudes and life choices of children who grow up in such settings.
6. Support is needed for the production and distribution of materials and tools for children, educators, and parents to provide direct assistance in improving intergroup relations. Many people we spoke with in the course of this project expressed a strong desire to work on improving intergroup relations and the need for help in beginning and continuing the process.
7. Work on improving intergroup relations cannot start too early. Research shows that pre-verbal children notice color and gender differences in people. Even at this early age, children are far from color-blind and by the age of three, many children already show bias across racial lines. Preventive efforts with young children may be the most effective.
8. The goal of integration has been replaced by less active terms such as tolerance and anti-racist. We seem clear as to what we don't want to be, or experience, but less clear about what we would like to become individually and as a country. As Sherlynn Dudley Reid, Director of Community Relations with the Village of Oak Park, Ill. said: "We need a national policy that encourages communities to be racially diverse. We should see that as a strength, not a weakness. Our message should be that you have not arrived until your community is racially diverse."
9. Educators should view improving intergroup relations as an important component of the educational curriculum. Schools can play a pivotal role in conveying an appreciation of American diversity and in breaking the cycle of intolerance given their role in shaping civic values and expanding students' horizons.
10. Change in the racial and ethnic make-up of the workplace is inevitable as the country grows more diverse. Attempts to preserve the historical model of a largely white corporate culture will hurt an employer's ability to remain competitive. The scope and effectiveness of diversity initiatives will expand as the composition of the workforce shifts and as markets grow more global. Research is needed to demonstrate that efforts within the workplace to improve intergroup relations have a value-added effect on a company's bottom line.
11. A very tangible way the federal government can support neighborhood integration is to seek increased funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Moving to Opportunity Program that currently sets aside a portion of rental certificates and vouchers for households moving from poverty concentrations to census tracts with low poverty rates (10 percent or less). A similar set-aside could be established to reduce racial isolation and promote integration. This would give content to the President's expressed desire to have more mixed income integrated housing.
12. The President's recently announced proposal to create opportunity zones to promote educational reform in poor urban and rural areas needs content. Title 1 of the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 already requires all school districts to establish high standards and engage in comprehensive reform. While it may be appropriate to use opportunity zones to recognize districts that do a particularly outstanding job, they are no substitute for enforcing the law with respect to all districts. In addition, the Administration should assist districts on changing structures that impede children from interacting on an equal basis across racial and ethnic lines.
A starting point for developing the program would be an examination of the Emergency School Aid Act (ESAA) enacted in 1972 and eliminated in 1981. ESAA assisted school districts with special needs related to school desegregation. Evaluations of the program found that it had a positive impact on reducing racial tensions and promoting positive racial attitudes in many school districts.
13. Improving race relations is an enterprise for the long-distance runner. We should not set arbitrary time limits for projects and expect instant results. We have been a diverse country since our founding and grow more so. What we are engaged in is a continuing struggle for progress.

Great Scot!
The current battle between STV Group and ITV plc over the cost of programming – which has now moved on from the cancellation of network shows in Scotland to legal action and threats of countersuits – comes with a long backstory. It has echoes of a tussle five decades ago, at the birth of the ITV network.
The earliest ITV franchises, in the mid-50s in London and the Midlands, faced an initial period in which they bore the full, heavy cost of programmes but with advertising yet to reach full spate and many TV sets adapted to one BBC channel. Their first-year losses were terrifying.
For Roy Thomson, the Canadian who had recently arrived in Edinburgh to run the Scotsman newspaper, this was an opportunity. Other potential bidders for the central Scotland ITV franchise were scared off. Thomson, a local radio and TV operator in the US and Canada, was sure the advertising would come, and he could run a station much more cheaply than the pioneers. He launched Scottish Television in 1957.
The cost-cutting sensibility was modern, even if the individual measures weren't. In his autobiography, he describes discovering that STV's lunchtime programme employed a five-piece band – his response was to sack four of them and buy a Wurlitzer organ. But his key advantage over today's cost-cutters – one that today's STV would kill for – was network partners without a clear idea of what their syndicated programmes were worth.
"We could make a shrewd guess of how little Manchester or Birmingham or London would take for canned programmes they had already used, and American soap operas, wild westerns and so on, which we believed we could get cheap," he writes. "And if need be we calculated we could fill a lot of hours that way, as I had filled the hours on the air of North Bay [his first Canadian radio station] with old records."
With Lew Grade, uncle of the current ITV chairman Michael, he cut a deal for all ATV network content that cost him vastly less than what later franchises paid. It's hard to imagine Michael Grade letting that happen – or adopting the negotiating tactics Thomson records: "Lew bringing his nose pretty well up against mine with the index finger of each hand on either side of my face and saying, 'What a Jew! What a Jew!'" (Grade, it should be noted, was Jewish and Thomson wasn't.) Thomson's bet paid off. Within a few years, almost all the ITV franchises were in heavy profit – but his was "a licence to print money". When STV went public, £100 worth of ordinary shares at the start was worth £22,000. Those were the days.

By Emmanuel Akli
One of the ingredients that has made Ghana's democracy attractive to the international community is the decentralisation policy, where power of governance is vested in the local community to govern its own affairs. Many countries, especially those from Africa, have come to Ghana to study the decentralisation policy to help grow their democracies.
Unfortunately, an aspect of this laudable policy has come under public criticism. This has to do with the appointment of metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives (MMDCEs) by the President, with the approval by the local assemblies, instead of allowing the people to elect their preferred chief executives. Those in favour of election base their arguments on the fact that it would make the elected chief executives accountable to their people, and that as it stands now, they owe more allegiance to the President who appointed them, rather than the people they are serving.
Professor Kwamena Ahwoi, a Lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) and a former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, who played crucial role in the formulation and implementation of the decentralisation policy, has however, cautioned against any hasty decision to make the chief executive position an elective one, citing many instances to back his position.
But, the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II, does not agree with him. Addressing a durbar of chiefs at Kyebi, the traditional capital of the Akyem State, recently, the revered chief suggested that all the MMDCEs be elected through universal adult suffrage, to make them responsive to the needs of the people who elected them. To him, the fear that the election could frustrate the central government's development agenda could be defused if the President nominates three people for the people to elect one of them.
Much as I agree with the argument of the Okyenhene, I do not think it would be the panacea to resolving the problem associated with the decentralisation policy. In fact, the suggestion that the President nominates three people for the electorate to vote for one of them could be disastrous, based on a number of factors. If the DCE, who is elected through competitive election, has sympathy towards the opposition, he or she would do everything possible to ensure that the party he supports becomes popular, and brightens its chances of winning power in the next general elections.
For instance, if this policy is implemented, the likelihood that the majority of elected DCEs in the Volta and Ashanti regions would belong to the camp of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) respectively, cannot be ruled out. This would obviously make this country ungovernable, because each of these two leading political parties would try to undo each other, in order to gain political advantage. Issues concerning the welfare of the people would no more play a central role.
Again, if the government in power feels that it is being frustrated by a DCE who sysmpathises, with the opposition, it would try to starve that area off the needed development, which could, in turn, spark protests about the unfair distribution of the national cake. Someone may argue that if the necessary structures are in place to regulate how the central government apportions resources to each district, municipal and metropolitan assembly, it would be very difficult for the government of the day to starve the district of a 'stubborn' DCE off the needed resources.
I agree with this line of argument, but we should not forget the fact that the ruling government can use every foul means, even if it infringes upon the law, to achieve its political objective. Followers of the once-vibrant Convention People's Party (CPP) once stated, during the heydays of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, that the party had the means to do everything, except changing a woman into a man. In recent memory ex-President Rawlings was quoted as saying that 'wo su koraa, na meye more,' meaning the more you complain about my actions, the more I would repeat them.
The point I want to make is that the government in power would do everything possible to sabotage a particular district through fair or foul means, irrespective of the laws that prevent it from doing so. The argument, therefore, that the government of the day cannot flout the law does not hold water. When the late Kow Nkensen Arkaah, popularly known as the 'Stubborn Cat,' fell out with his boss, Jerry John Rawlings, over the infamous cabinet fracas, the latter ignored him in the day to day running of the country, even though he was the constitutionally-elected Vice President. The gospel truth is that the ruling government can do everything, even if, as I have already noted, it infringes upon the law.
What we need is proper education. But, wait a minute, did I hear the renowned legal practitioner, Mr. Sam Okudzeto, say that the government should review the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETfund) law to make the funds accessible by all the private universities? I really love this man, especially, the way he pronounces the word, security. Dear reader have you heard the man pronouncing the word before. He pronounces it this way, 'sekuriti,' which is a typical Ewe accent that my Paramount Chief, Togbe Afede, would envy.
I do not, however, love the view he was espousing at the congregation of the Presbyterian University College that private universities train people who come out to work and contribute to the GETfund, and for that matter, must be allowed to also access the funds. If Okudzeto's prescription is to be swallowed in its raw form, then I submit that all the private non-tertiary institutions in the country must also be allowed to access the funds.
To me, it is about time we divorced purely private business from that of the government, even though they are all contributing to the development of the country. No private university would ever pay part of the profit it makes every year into government chest, so, on what basis should my tax be used to fund their business? If the GETfund tax is increased to rake in more funds to expand the state funded universities, I will not have any problem with that. But, to use my money to fund a purely private entity, 'Walahi' I will not agree. So, my dear father, I love your word, 'sekuriti,' but, certainly not the views you are espousing.
Sorry, I nearly forgot that I was even talking about the decentralisation policy, so dear reader, pardon me for the digression. Another point the Okyenhene suggested, which I completely disagree with, is the nomination of three people for the electorate to vote and elect one of them. My basis for the rejection of the suggestion is that if the President is allowed to nominate three people, the one who would eventually be elected by the people, through a competitive election, would still owe allegiance to the executive, and therefore, be doing its bidding.
If the DCE in question has the intention to seek re-election, he would always kowtow to the whims and caprices of the President, in order to attract his attention to re-nominate him or her for the second term. This, obviously, defeats the intended purpose for which the DCE was elected. If my memory is right, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) promised in its 1996 manifesto that it would make the DCE position an elective one, which was not implemented when the party assumed the reins of the country.
I believe the party carefully studied the situation, and realised that it would be suicidal for it to implement such a policy, because our democracy has not reached that stage. I submit that the hybrid system we have adopted, where the President appoints and the assembly people vote on the nominee, should be maintained.
A hung Parliament has worked perfectly well in most advanced countries, but it would be very difficult for such a system to operate in Ghana, due to the negative of our partisan politics. That is why we must not rush in doing certain things, because the developed economies are doing so. When Mrs. Gladys Asmah was the Minister for Women and Children's Affairs, she stood against the inclusion of marital rape in the then Domestic Violence Bill, after realising that the country had not reached the stage to implement such a law.
If we allow modernity to override what is considered as the reality on the ground, we would plunge this into chaos, and that is why we must be very careful with some of the policies we suggest or implement. Allowing DCEs to be elected by the local people, can easily work in the US, because they have practised democracy for well over two hundred years, but we are yet to even hit 20 years. When a child is born, he/she first sits down un-aided, crawls, and stands un-aided before it begins to walk. Our democracy has not reached the stage where we can just get up and walk. I rest my case for now.

text: I know a guy with an SC who put a standard Rizoma bar on his triple clamp (I think he machined his own riser) and he seems to find it much more comfortable. Interestingly, I went to Supersport forks on my bike (the stock ones are non adj. and very harsh) and they are over 1" longer than stock. That 1" sticks out of the top of the triple and if I wanted, I could move my clipons up onto that section and gain almost 2" of height. With them up that high I could also swing them back some as they'd be higher above the tank. If I ever want to tour on it, I may do this, but as it is I don't find it that uncomfortable. I would like to add some padding to my seat though, to raise me up a little and let my knees un-kink. 34" inseam means the peg to seat distance is a little short for me.

His Beach House
Book by: FutureMarinesGirl
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
Chapter1 (v.1) - Preface
'When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.' A quote written by William Shakespeare in one of his famous plays 'Romeo and Juliet'. To find a love like that in the modern day is so hard to come by. I grew watching my parents fight, fight, and fight. Never showing each other a loving glace, or a happy smile. Just hate and anger. I remember when my Dad was home he would come in my room at night and hold me as he cried promising me a better life. I grew up not knowing what true love really was. The only love I knew was my father's love for me while protected me from her. I will always be thankful to him, for what he has done for me, everything.
I knew it was my time to then to let him go, and be happy again. Even when it was leaving me to deal with the one person he has protected me from for almost 18 years. The day of my Father's wedding I didn't cry. I didn't fight. I was truly happy for him. It meant he wasn't sad anymore. And that's what I needed him to know. It was time to move on.
My Mother never was what a 'mother' should be. I was nothing to her but a hold over my father. I wasn't anything more. When I was little all I wanted was for my mom to look at me and really love me, but that never happened. Never. She always just sent me back to my room while she did whatever she was doing. So as you can guess, we never had a 'mother daughter relationship'.
I haven't seen my Mother in almost 3 years. You would ask if I live with my father. Well I don't. My mother has full custody of me. She has sent me away to 'boarding school' for the last 5 years. When I put quotes around boarding school I mean it wasn't boarding school. My mother told me it was to "get a better education" but she sent me to a military Academy. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it. I made some of my best friends there. It made my future.
You see this story all starts when my best friend Nicole, who I call Nickel or Nikki or just plain Nic, asked me to come to her house for summer break instead of staying here at school. Hell I love this place but I do not want to spend all my time here. I agreed. Her mom and dad did love me. If I only knew saying yes would change my life forever……

im loving this one patty.. im intrigued to see where this will go..
great start. super excited to see what happens. update me please
this is amazing!! never take this down please :)
wow This is definitely a greawt introduction. i like how you open with that shakespeare quote that truly is the essence of what one wants from love or should feel and then you contrast it with the next part where she has no love at all - it makes it all the stronger. i like that she knows that true love exists but she jsut doesnt have it in her life. Nice start and intriguing main character. I twas good that the father was there for her but horrible all the emotional depravity she had to go through with her mother, that had to hurt big time. Nice way to lead into the military academy and its nice that you really took this plot on your own. Most people would suspect that this story would be about her parents after the way her life went or her complaining about school but nice plot decision to start with a vacation. This introduction shows a strong possibility for this story and that it can really be going places. Cant wait to read more even though I seem to be quite slow, but reading nonetheless. really great introduction : )

There are two schools of thought on this matter. Some will say "since it's a 2 flute end mill, just plunge in" others "always pre-drill ". I have always pre-drilled then finished off with the ball end mill. Some would not agree with me, but this is what I do and it has always worked well for me.
Just my 2¢

Five Ways Your Cell Phone is Making You Ugly
1. Dark Circles Under Your Eyes. Studies show that cell phone screens emit radiation that causes headaches and keeps you awake. And a lack of sleep can create dark circles under your eyes, stress, and depression.
2. Crow's Feet. If you squint when you read email, web pages, or ANYTHING on your phone, you're causing wrinkles. So either train your face NOT to squint, or switch to a larger font.
3. Acne. Your cell phone has 18 times more bacteria on it than the average toilet handle. And you press it up against your face ALL DAY. So it's easy for germs to get on your skin, where they can cause break-outs and infections.
4. Turkey Neck. Also known as "text neck." You get it from looking down at your cell phone for any reason. If your jawline starts to sag, the only cure is surgery. So quit looking down at your phone.
5. Bloodshot Eyes. No one looks good with red eyes, but if you stare at your cell phone for hours you'll end up with swollen, dilated blood vessels. So don't look at your phone unless you absolutely have to. And use eye drops.
