The remainder of the day had gone smoothly. No more private conversations with the harpy, Mara, so Sophie had relaxed a bit. She still knew that she and Brock had to talk later but he didn't try to make her uncomfortable. He stayed close by her the rest of the day, talking, laughing with his friends and relaxing it was a good atmosphere. The two nemeses seemed kind of pouty but no one paid them much attention.
They'd gotten back to the park about 5:30 pm, Brock was helping Sophie lug some of her stuff back to her truck. They were saying their good-byes to his friends when she heard the voices of the two nemeses behind her. She sighed and rolled her eyes, Brock glanced over at her and smiled knowingly.
They caught up and Mara took Brock by the arm trying to pull him away from where he and Sophie were on the sidewalk.
'Brock,' she said in a whiny voice, 'I want to ask you something before you leave.'
Sophie noticed he seemed to have no intention of moving from her side.
'You can ask me here, Mara.'
Both she and Whitney got annoyed pained looks on their faces. Sophie thought it just made them look less attractive, not complimentary at all.
Sophie tried to assure him, she'd be okay on her way to the parking, 'go ahead Brock, I'll be fine. This bag isn't heavy and I'll just walk slow so you can catch up.'
Brock pulled his arm away from Mara and took Sophie's hand, she noticed the intimate gesture so did Mara and Whitney. Mara's face went completely red, she looked like she was about to produce steam from her ears and that pained look became extremely unattractive.
'Well, Brock,' she started talking quickly as if she was trying to hustle him into something. 'Whitney and I are going to this new club tonight in Kirkland. We wanted to see if you wanted to tag along like old times, you can meet us out at our place and we'll go out and have some real fun.'
Sophie just stood there, trying to ignore the conversation but Brock didn't let her hand go. In fact as they talked he started to rub the inside of her palm with his thumb. Sophie was actually getting turned on by the simple gesture.
'Oh sorry guys, Sophie and I got plans tonight.'
'You and Sophie got plans,' Mara said in disbelief it sounded like she wanted to spit the words out.
'Yea, we do. Anyway, I'm not into that stuff anymore. I'm surprised you two are, clubs were never really my thing in college and they certainly aren't now.'
'Oh okay then. Guess we'll see at the barbecue in two weeks,' Mara asked batting those fake eyelashes.
Sophie had had just about enough but Brock had her hand in his and he wasn't letting her go. These two were a piece of work, shameless sluts.
'I'll be there. See you guys later.' He let Sophie's hand go for a moment and hugged them both quickly, Sophie noticed Mara tried to hang on but Brock wasn't having it.
Sophie said a quick good-bye and they mumbled something under their breath but she didn't care she was on her way to have a talk with the sexiest man ever. Mara and Whitney were on their way to probably try to hook up with some nitwits.
She'd driven over to Brock's place; this would be her first time at his house. They usually met at an arranged spot, he'd been to her place in West Seattle but since they were closer to him, they decided to head to his place. When she got there she was so hot and sticky, she wanted to shower and change of clothes, she had brought some with her. She was planning on staying at her mom's for the night so she'd packed an overnight bag.
When they finally stopped it was front of a brick house, small in size, there were two houses next to it that we're exactly like it. It was cute, small front yard, no shades on a large picture window in the front and a garage for one car. She parked on the street. Brock met her at her car door.
'Hey there, pretty lady can I help you with something?' He was so sweet and gallant, she really enjoyed it.
She climbed down out of the truck, she'd found that Brock wasn't as big a tree-hugger as she thought. He loved her truck, had actually asked to drive it once when they'd gone up hiking. He was an outdoor kind of guy and appreciated that her truck could go places his Prius could not.
'I'm fine, just feeling kind of grimy. You know all day in the sun, some perspiration, a little sand and suntan lotion is not a good feeling.'
'Well I kind of don't know what to tell you, you can use my shower. I don't know what you'll wear. But I've got some t-shirts in there, they'll be kind of big.' He held his arms out to demonstrate his massiveness. None of which was lost on Sophie.
'I've got a change of clothes,' she picked up her overnight bag.
Brock looked slightly confused, 'were you planning on staying?'
'No, no' Sophie said immediately she wanted him to know she had not planning on seducing him, 'I was headed to my mom's to spend the night. That's all.'
'Oh okay, well why don't you go in and take a shower and then I'll get cleaned up. Maybe we can walk down to the Swede and get beer, maybe something to eat.'
Sophie tried to sound nonchalant, 'Okay sounds good to me.'
Sophie was turning to get the rest of her stuff out of the car, Brock pulled her close and looked her directly in the eyes, 'then we can talk.'
'Okay.' She couldn't tear her eyes away from his, those deep chocolate orbs had her mesmerized.
They'd decided to walk down to the bar, it was nice mild evening. It was little after 7 pm and the sun was still out, one of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest were the long summer days when the sun set at 9 pm or so.
They walked and didn't talk much, Sophie had a print sundress she put on with a lavender sweater, she had some slipper leather flats that were yellow. She looked over at Brock intermittently as they strolled, she was still struck by how handsome he was. He'd changed into a button down blue plaid shirt with a long sleeved blue sweater hoodie and jeans, he was sporting a pair of white converse. He was a great dresser but never overdone. She kept wondering where he got his style from. Sophie was looking when he turned to her with a curious glance.
'What you looking at, sexy lady?'
Sophie was embarrassed she'd been caught staring at him again, 'nothing just noticing how sharp you are.'
'I am, aren't I?' he responded puffing up his chest in an attempt to look cocky. He didn't look convincing to her.
She chuckled, 'you don't have an egotistical bone in your body.'
'Well I do have an ego when it comes to two things, my skills as a teacher and my skills in the bedroom.'
Sophie just looked down at the sidewalk and kept walking.
They were sitting at a table in The Swede enjoying a drink, tonight Sophie had decided to ditch the beer and go for something more sophisticated, scotch and soda.
'I can't believe you're drinking scotch?' Brock told her in surprise, 'I don't know of any women who drinks scotch besides my great Aunt Elke.'
'Really, I love it,' she said as she sipped a bit more of the smooth brown liquid, 'I can't drink a bunch of them but when I want to go high faluting I drink scotch.'
'You are a total conundrum Sophie Roberson, I'm just stumped by you.'
'Stumped,' she said scrunching her nose, 'I'm easy, I'm not a girly girl, I make beer, I'm horrible at dating, I need to get into better shape and I'm a tad mature.'
'No those things aren't you,' he told her softly, he took her hand in his, ' not the real you.'
'That is the real me.'
'No it's not, we've been hanging out for a few weeks now and you're very cautious about how far you let me in.'
'Well that's just called, getting to know you.'
'I get that but there's something else. It oughtta be obvious to you by now, that I dig you Sophie. You're the coolest chick I've met in a long time.'
Sophie wasn't sure how to respond, she'd figured out today that although she'd given him the brush off awhile back he wasn't going anywhere.
'Well, Brock I don't know what to say. I like you too but it's just that you're younger than me.'
'Yea. And.'
'Well I mean aren't you uncomfortable with that, wouldn't you feel odd out in public with me.'
Brock started turning his head looking around, he looked under the table and over the back of Sophie to the next booth.
'Sophie do you see anyone paying attention to us,' he put her hand to his lips and kissed it.
She started blushing, 'Well I guess not.'
'Yes, that's because no one cares.'
'Well those two friends of yours sure do.'
Brock looked confused as he asked, 'what friends?'
'Mara and Whitney.'
He started to laugh, deep and long as he did it, he smiled at her.
'Those two. I don't want anything to do with them besides what you see of them. I don't regularly hang out with them, I just end up seeing them when my buddies get together. Yea we knew each other back in college and I'm not gonna lie I hooked up once with Mara one drunken night long ago. She's been pining ever since. I, however, have not. Those two are vapid and silly, all they think about is partying and knowing Mara probably drugs too. She was into that crap back in college, one of the many reasons I don't mess around with her.'
Sophie was relieved, 'I mean I know you weren't into them but I thought maybe you'd be into girls like them. You know young, thin, blonde, tan.' She put her fingers in her cheeks and twisted them to simulate dimples.
'First of all I'm not into girls, I'm into women. I personally don't care what race a woman is, as long as she is nice, aware, passionate, smart, funny and sexy the rest will take care of itself.'
'Oh.' Now Sophie really did feel like an idiot. 'Am I those things? Is that why you like me?'
'Baby, I think you're that and probably more but I won't know unless you take down those damn walls. You are beautiful and sexy and self-confident Sophie. I know you make digs at yourself about your age and weight but you don't even realize…', he took a deep breath, smirked and shook his head.
'When you popped out in that little yellow bikini today, I had catch my breath. Jesus woman, Josh was going to try to make a move on you till I stopped him.'
Sophie chuckled a little, she was complimented that his friend found her attractive enough to think about asking out. She did notice he'd been flirting with her a bit today.
'Yea he is a bit of a flirt.'
'Good thing he didn't take it too far, I'd hate to have to beat the hell out of a friend but I'm sorry you're mine.'
'Excuse me, I'm what?'
'You're mine, Sophie I've waited long enough. I want go out on an actual date with you. I want us to be together, exclusive. Whatever you want to call it. But I don't want another dude from this online dating crap making time with my woman.'
Sophie had to admit his demanding tone was kind of turning her own. She liked how he'd staked his claim and wasn't going to let her get away but this was modern times and she was a modern woman.
'Brock you just can't order me to stop online dating.'
'Well I thought you wanted to anyway.'
'I do but that's up to me to decide. I really like that you like me and I like you but shouldn't we be trying to get to know each other a little more.'
'No, I want you to be exclusive with just me. I don't have any interest in any other woman. Is there some guy you're interested in?'
'Well, not really.'
'Well what's the problem. You don't like me, think I'm ugly, don't want to date a teacher.'
Sophie put up her hands to signal stop. 'No, none of those things. I just thought that being a good looking guy you'd have a few on the hook and want to do this as a courting thing.'
'This is not Victorian England, I don't have anyone on the hook. Hell it's looking like I don't even have you on it. Okay, if you want to take your time that's fine but believe me when I say today or 6 months from today I'll still be fascinated by you.'
Sophie wasn't ready to reveal those feelings just yet. She'd shown her hand in love too soon before and it had only ended badly for her.
'Brock, I enjoy your company also.' He didn't look thrilled with that answer. 'But lets just date and see how this goes.'
'Alright but I'm not going anywhere.'
She was hoping he was telling the truth when he said that, but she'd been on the other end of that conversation.
After eating and drinking a little more, they'd rambled back to Brock's place. That scotch had been laying on her heavy and she was sure she wouldn't be able to drive.
'Sophie, I don't think that you should drive anywhere.'
'I think you're right. Is it okay if I stay here for bit?'
'It's fine, you're welcome to stay all night, I've got a futon in the extra room.'
'You sure about that?'
He opened up his door and welcomed her in, 'yes I am very sure. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you.'
Sophie stepped into his home again, she noticed how cozy and nicely decorated it was. It had hardwood floors and they looked original. He had a kitchen that looked like it had been redone but not anything gauche just simple and classic.
'Would you like a cup of coffee?' he asked her.
'I'd love one,' she answered, 'little cream and sugar.'
'Why don't you head downstairs, I have a nice relaxing den area down there. Nice plush couch, some good music, television, the works. Even another half bath. Go check it out and relax.'
Sophie found the door and went downstairs to the basement, the steps were steep so she took each of them slowly. Once she was down there, she was astounded, it was fabulous. The walls were a soft gray color and the couch was a sectional in steel gray. The whole room was gray, black, white and rich purples. She was so surprised, he couldn't have decorated this. She turned when she heard him descending the stairs. He had a carafe in his hand and some mugs.
'I just decided to make a whole pot. The cream and sugar are in my pockets. Can you get them out?'
Brock raised his arms while Sophie dug deep in his pockets to retrieve those packets. It was really intimate and she could feel herself start to shake a little at their closeness.
Brock just smiled down at her intimately. She was always surprised at how his smile would calm her. She didn't feel nervous then, everything just felt…right.
He put down the coffee and cups on the coffee table.
'Now this is decaf, I figured if we drank anything else this late at night we'd be wired.'
'Thanks for looking out, I could not stand caffeine this time of night.'
They both sat down on the couch, Sophie was at the other end of the couch. He poured them each some coffee and she put in the cream and sugar. Seems he took his black. They sat sipping for awhile.
'This room is nicely decorated.'
'Thanks,' he said nonchalantly.
'Actually, your whole house is decorated nicely. Did you do this?'
'No,' he told her bluntly, 'decorating is not my thing.'
Sophie sighed a little, 'I'm glad because I kept thinking no straight man can decorate this well.'
Brock chuckled, 'I beg your pardon if I was a decorator I'd be a great one.' He puffed up that massive chest.
Sophie could feel herself getting hot under her collar or was it the coffee she wondered.
'I'm just saying, this place looks like its had a woman's touch.'
'It did, oh don't get nervous,' he tried to reassure her, 'this is not the mark left by one of the women I dated. My sister did this, she's an interior designer and every time she comes over to visit she has a new project for my house. I don't invite her over that much,' he said jokingly.
Sophie smiled, 'you have siblings?'
'I do, three others in fact. My oldest sister, Brooke, my younger brother, Bailey, and my litte sister, Bianca.'
'So you're a middle kid like me. I have an older brother and younger sister. Well, that's good to know.'
'I don't know I think middle kids have a different perspective. We're peacemakers.'
'I don't know about that description but I think it is different to be a boy in the middle of girls.'
'That usually means you know how to treat women.'
'I'd say your assessment is correct. How about some music?'
'Sure,' Sophie wanted to put out of her head that she'd just made that comment. He was so hard to read sometimes, many times she'd say things she thought were provocative and wouldn't get any response. Then say things she thought were benign and he'd heat all up, it was hard for a girl to figure out.
He turned on his stereo and attached his iPhone, the next thing she knew Nina Simone was belting out a tune.
'Would you like to dance?'
She furrowed her brow in confusion, 'dance in this little space?'
'You don't need a lot of space to dance close. Unless, you've decided to dance on the other side of the room.'
He offered his hand to her, she took it and got up. They danced close and slow. Sophie was in heaven, he smelled so good to her it was unlike anything she'd ever smelled it just smelled clean and woodsy. She sunk into that solid chest and he put his arms around her. She rested her head on his shoulders and just relaxed as they swayed to Nina Simone. It was like a dream, she couldn't believe she was here with this beautiful man who actually liked her and he was holding her tight. She kept thinking it was a dream and soon she'd wake up. But she didn't, she could feel his warm breath in her hair, she just closed her eyes and went with it. The song ended then John Coltrane's A Love Deluxe started. Sophie loved this piece, she could feel her face getting flush, she was getting soft and feeling slick. Her hands drifted down to rest that sculpted chest of Brock's. She was breathing heavily and she heard him moan softly. She looked up at him, he was looking at her his eyes glazed over with pure animal lust. Sophie didn't want things to happen like this but she had no control. Her body was running things its way.
Brock closed the distance between their lips, he kissed her hard then eased up a little. It was a heady combination of rough and tender and she wanted more. He tugged at her bottom lip, sucking it lightly and she decided to just let their tongues do a tango. The kiss lasted a long time, she could hear herself moaning and his grunts of pleasure. His hands had gone to her behind and they were caressing and squeezing it gently. Sophie wanted more, she tore her lips away from his for a brief moment.
'Brock, Brock…' she was saying through deep breaths, 'I want… ,' she could barely get it out.
'I know, I know darling. I want it to, I want to be inside you so badly I'm in physical pain right now.'
His eyes were dark and stormy with lust and she could feel his manhood standing at sturdy attention against her.
'Not down here,' he said forcefully, 'the first time I take you it won't be on a couch.'
He picked her up effortlessly and she wrapped her legs around him. They kissed furiously as he ascended the stairs he must have taken them two at at time before she knew it they were in his bedroom. Brock deposited her in the ground and turned on a low light in the corner. She was beginning to remove her clothes when he stopped.
'Oh no you don't sweetness, I want that pleasure all to my myself.'
He moved toward her in the room, it was a small room so it seemed as if his massiveness overtook everything else and all she could see was him. But he was so gentle, he spoke to her softly in that deep timbre.
'Are you okay with this?' He kissed her sweetly.
She was looking into his eyes, they were so beautiful and tender, 'yes, don't worry I know exactly what I want.'
He smiled, 'good because I want you.'
He kissed her again, deep and slow, Sophie felt her clothing melting away. She could feel cold air on her skin, she helped as he undid her bra. She was impressed by how deft he was at relieving her of her clothes. He talked and kissed her all at the same time uttering how beautiful and sexy she was, it was a wonderful feeling.
Before she knew it she stood there naked before him.
'Gosh, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen Sophie.'
She loved the look of sincerity in his eyes, she felt all her guard float away. He was taking off his clothing, Sophie helped as he'd expose more skin she'd kiss it tenderly. He was laughing and moaning at every touch. Then before she knew it he was down to his boxer briefs. He removed them slowly as Sophie sat on the bed, the lights were on so nothing was hidden from either of them. She could tell he wasn't lacking in the manhood department but something about her was curious to see what it looked like. He removed them and she saw his tan lines, it was oddly erotic. Like that part of himself he'd kept hidden just for her. Then it was out and stood prominently. She smiled to herself.
She looked up and noticed him perusing her body and smiling. She felt bold, she stood up and kissed him stroking his cock, it was thick and long with emblazoned with redness. He was ready.
'Sophie sweetness, don't do that,' he said at her lips, 'I'm gonna pop and I don't want to do that unless I'm inside of you.'
'Oh that will happen any minute now.' Sophie was slick with juices almost flowing down her leg. Her body was craving the entrance of his body.
They lay down together and started to caress each other gently. Brock's hand moved to her soft hairy patch between her legs, he seemed to like the friction of his hand against her hair.
'Oh I see you're not clean shaven,' he said matter-of-factly.
'Does that bother you,' she knew a lot of men seemed to be into the trend of no hair but she knew that hair held her womanly scent and that drove men crazy.
'Nope, I want to know I'm making love to a woman not a little girl,'
'Oh I'm all woman.'
'Yes, I'm about to find out how much of one tonight.'
Brock kissed her again as his fingers dipped into her wetness, she was so tight. Sophie rode his fingers for a few moments and moaned deeply into his mouth. His fingers felt so good, they were so thick and long and filled her. They were caressing and kissing each other so long, Sophie didn't notice him slip a condom out of his nightstand to put on. He pulled back a bit to put on the rubber.
Brock didn't take his eyes off Sophie, 'you look so heavenly and I can't wait to be inside you. But sweetness, I gotta put this on before I do.'
Sophie took it from him, 'let me.'
Brock handed her the opened packaged, she took the rubber out and rolled it onto his stiff member. She watched to make sure it went on correctly as she did she watched his face it was pure ecstasy with his head lolled back and his eyes closed. His face told her he was in need, so was she, once it was on and his eyes opened up his lids hooded.
He slowly slinked toward her with a small smile on his face, he looked hungry.
'I'm going to enjoy this,' he told her as he began to kiss her again.
Sophie just relaxed against his soft bed as he kissed her into oblivion. His fingers were moving into her and out she felt overcome with so many emotions. Lust, ecstasy, pleasure and what she knew was love. The last one she wasn't ready to acknowledge.
'Sophie, I want to take this slow but I don't think I can. I want make love to you,' he said through his heated ministrations on her body.
'That's what you're doing now, do what you will.'
'I will,' as he said that he eased into her soft folds.
'Ahhh' Sophie moaned loudly it had been awhile since she'd had sex with anything but her vibrator. She felt so full and he stretched her slightly.
'Oh Sophie you feel so good, like heaven,' as he moved in and out of her slowly.
He moved slow and steady, their bodies riding the rhythm in tandem. Brock pushed into her deeply, Sophie had her hands on his chest. She could feel the light sheen of sweat on him, although a breeze was blowing through the curtains he was heated up. He looked down at her and smiled deeply, Sophie had never seen anything quite like it. He was holding himself back, she could tell. He felt so good, his body fit hers perfectly.
He was speaking to her in gentle passionate tones, 'Oh Sophie, oh you're so beautiful.' Then he said something even Sophie wasn't sure she had heard right, he said, 'please, please let me love you.'
She wasn't sure if he was talking about sex or actual love so she just assumed he meant sex.
'Yes, yes Brock, please make love to me,' she told him fervently.
His head went down and he leaned over her body and starting to pick up speed in his hips. He was moving fast and deep into her. It wasn't painful, actually to Sophie it felt good. She was moaning loudly as he grunted and told her how wonderful she was.
He was moving deep, steady, stroke, Sophie could feel her orgasm ready to explode on her body.
'Who's got the best pussy?' he bellowed so loudly she was sure the neighbors could hear but who cared.
'Oh God, I do, I do,' she answered profusely.
'Yes you do, oh god, yes you do.'
He was moving, fast, and then slow, then he'd pick up the pace. Sophie was prepared to come hard enough to blow her own mind and then it hit her like a wave, it came crashing down hard and felt so refreshing she began moan out, her legs began to shake and the feeling swept over her of pure satisfaction. She began to cry, she turned her face because she didn't want Brock to see. But he did, he turned her back toward him and lowered himself to kiss away her tears as he screwed her brains out.
His body stretched taut over hers and he let out what she could only call a half-roar and half-scream. It was nothing like Sophie had ever heard before and it was beautiful but so was he when he orgasmed.
He dropped to her side in the bed as they both steadied their breathing. He pulled her close, as he planted kisses on her forehead and face. He kissed her deeply one more time. Then after a few moments Sophie heard his soft snoring. She wished she could sleep but she couldn't get his statement about love out of her mind. They'd just decided to take this thing to the next level but slowly, hadn't they? He couldn't be feeling love for her, but she knew she was having those feelings for him. But she couldn't go that deep this soon, it would only mean disaster. She turned over to her side to spoon with him; she'd worry about love tomorrow. Right now, she was tired she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. © EugeniaBerg 2013

We are expertly trained and experienced former specialist police detectives. The principal was in the Fraud Squad for 10 years, the Regional Crime Squad (now known as the National Crime Agency) for 4 years and INTERPOL in London for 3 years. All our operatives are similarly trained.
Both during our service and subsequently working in the private sector we have dealt with cases that have attracted high profile media attention but of course as discretion and confidentiality is so important to us and our clients we cannot provide details. The cases we deal with on a daily basis vary between relatively small matters to those involving millions of pounds.
Unlike many websites we do not display photographs of our operatives as we conduct surveillance which can sometimes result in court cases where our firm and its operatives are named as witnesses and we don't think it prudent for our staff to be readily identifiable.

The natural movement of the tides and severe to moderate storms with wave surge at high tide can cause the erosion of upland soils at the edge of the coastal bluff. Placing rip-rap (angular stone in various sizes usually larger than two feet diameter) can stabilize the base of an eroding bluff and slow erosion in some cases. The rip-rap must be placed on a bed of crushed stone or geotextile fabric to fully protect the soils underneath, and be installed at the angle of the existing bluff or no steeper than a 2:1 slope. The slope of the installation is critical, as it will allow the rip-rap to blend with the natural shoreline and absorb wave energy. Pack stones densely to prevent wave action from pulling erodible soils out of the bluff through the stones. The height of the rip-rap should be limited to no greater than twice the maximum wave height for the affected area. Rip-rap is most effective when placed in areas that are likely to be under heavy wave stress. Areas on the bluff that are above wave action can, in most cases, be stabilized with a combination of other techniques. Often, vegetation is used in conjunction with rip-rap to improve its overall effectiveness.
Follow the steps below to gain the environmental and regulatory information needed for decision making. The steps are listed in general order although some steps may be conducted concurrently.
1) Contact local, state and/or federal officials to obtain regulatory advice. Individuals experienced with coastal regulations may not need to seek regulatory advice in all cases; however, if in doubt seek advice before proceeding with a project.
2) Obtain an assessment from a certified engineer, landscape architect, or other qualified environmental professional. In most cases, local, state, and/or federal regulators can help identify the best professional discipline to assist with a specific project. This step is critical for bluffs that are exhibiting signs of groundwater discharge through the bluff face. In some cases, even properly installed rip-rap can restrict the natural movement of groundwater, potentially causing super saturation of the soil and catastrophic slope failure or a landslide.
3) Owners of coastal property along eroding bluffs or near landslide-prone areas should check their insurance coverage to make sure they have adequate liability coverage related to loss due to landslides or shoreline erosion, as well as flood insurance.
4) If implementation of one or more Best Management Practices (BMPs) is recommended, develop an erosion mitigation plan. The plan does not need to be prepared by a professional in all cases; however, a good, clear plan can improve the efficiency and timeliness of any permitting that may be required. Good plans also will be beneficial to the construction contractor and can help avoid costly mistakes during the construction process.
5) Be neighborly. If the plan involves work at or near a property boundary, consider sharing the plan with the abutter(s) to make sure they fully understand the work to be performed and the potential impact to drainage on their property. This consultation is a courtesy at this stage, and not a regulatory mandate, however obtaining "buy in" from abutter(s) can potentially avoid neighbor disputes that lead to costly permitting and/or construction delays.
6) Share plans with local code enforcement to determine what, if any, local ordinances apply. Local Shoreland Zoning requirements will determine the acceptable location for structures such as drainage features, catch basins, roads/driveways, paths, etc.
7) If the plan involves alterations within 75 feet of highest annual tide (HAT), within or adjacent to another protected natural resource as defined by the Maine Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA), or within a development permitted by the Site Location of Development Act (Site Law), a permit will likely be required. Replacing existing rip-rap usually qualifies for permit-by-rule; however, installing new rip-rap does not, and an individual permit may be required.
8) If the plan involves work below the HAT, and/or in a freshwater wetland or habitat for endangered or threatened species, a federal permit under the Federal Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act may be required. Share the plan with all applicable federal authorities to determine which permits may be necessary.

I love the chicken wire on the doors. You have to see what this looked like originally: http://paintedwhyte.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-am-so-sick-of-being-so-sick.html. She did an amazing job with something that most people would pass on.
Linda is so kind she offered me some the chicken wire - I'm thinking about it.
Right now I like the open doors because they are showing some of my favourite things:

E. A. Leass (University of Texas at Austin and Harvard--Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), B. Biller, T. M. Dame, S. T. Megeath (Harvard--Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics)
We discuss an unusual complex of molecular clouds situated 300 pc above the Galactic plane in the Perseus spiral arm. The complex is associated with the HII region NGC 281 and the IC 1596 cluster, which lie at a distance of 2.9 kpc. The rarity of clouds so far from the plane argues strongly that the seven clouds which form the complex are associated, and yet their velocities are widely dispersed between -50 km/s and -10 km/s. Their mean velocity, however, is close to the velocity expected from Galactic rotation. Physical properties for each of the clouds was determined from the CfA Galactic CO survey (Dame, Hartmann & Thaddeus 2001). On the basis of this CO survey, as well as existing HI surveys, we propose that the clouds are part of an expanding ring of molecular and atomic gas. The ring radius of 135 pc and expansion velocity of 22 km s-1 implies an age of 6 Myr and a total energy of expansion of ~1051 ergs; this is comparable to the energy that is released in a supernova or in the wind of an OB star over its lifetime.

White Chocolate Strawberry Delight
Need a quickie dessert for the weekend that will disappear before the Monday diet begins again? lol
I was in my kitchen yesterday thinking I really should bake something but not in the mood for the usual chocolate chip whatever when I had a flash of brilliance. Why not use the strawberries in the fridge for something besides pie (as easy as it is, I'm not a huge fan of crust making) but for something quick and yummy that I don't normally make?
Delights are quick and easy but that center part in all of it's sugary glory is always somewhat of a downer. So I had the idea to try it with an extra block cream cheese and dry instant white chocolate pudding. Still a far cry from healthy but not super sweet like usual. It was delicious and yes they, notice I said THEY, ate most of it for supper! Okaay! I had some too, because the cook always needs to taste new things, right? but in this case I could have avoided it because it tasted just like I thought it would. Not real sweet. Delicious. And like strawberries. Ha!
First of all it's handy when you keep this concoction in your cupboard in a glass jar:
1 cup clear jel, (cook type)
2 cups sugar
2 pkg. strawberry Kool-Aid
Mix together and store in an airtight container.
When ready to use mix
¾ cup dry mix
2 cups water.
Cook over medium heat until it thickens, stirring constantly.
Mix one recipe of this and set aside to cool.
In a 9 X 13 Pyrex pan mix
1-1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
until evenly crumbly. Just spread it evenly in the pan, but don't press it in. Bake @350 degrees for 20 min or till edges begin to brown. Remove and fluff with a fork, again spreading evenly without pressing it into the pan. Set aside and allow to cool.
In a Kitchen Aid mixer bowl mix
16 oz. cream cheese
1 box dry instant white chocolate pudding
with paddle attachment beat until nice and fluffy scraping sides as needed. Add
12 oz. Cool Whip
Spread over cooled crust.
Wash/clean/cut 2 lbs. strawberries and add to the cooled strawberry Danish. Spread on top of cream cheese mixture.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
♥Blessings to you today!♥

Because of His
great mercies
we are not consumed
they are
new every morning,
great is
His Faithfulness!
We are coming up on two months since our move from PA to CO. We are enjoying it very much! Lack of humidity, "rat race," (that's usually a choice btw) less traffic, (Serena and I laugh when we go to town and meet 5 vehicles on the road that leads to civilization we comment that 'it's really busy today!) peace and quiet, God's AMAZING unaltered Creation! We feel blessed to be here at this time in our lives.
Some of you have expressed an interest in 'seeing your house'. We live in a lovely house high in the mountains and we'd love to play host to you and introduce you to some real, raw beauty if you should care to visit. I guess a house parade isn't really my thing and seems unimportant and materialistic to me when you can enjoy things that truly matter like time spent with family or just Nature itself.
@ "Garden of the Gods" just FWI, those rocks are stupendously huge! Another thing that took me by surprise for some reason. And the park itself is way bigger than I imagined. They all want to go back and do the horseback tour, but after I saw where those horses have to go and the rocks they will climb I think I might hike while they ride... even if it means risking a rattler or two! Shiver!!
The edge that you see there? That's a cliff! If you ever want or need to get life, problems, or anything else in perspective come visit 'the back forty!" You will be profoundly reminded that
"Nothing is
impossible for God!"
I feel that most of the time if we give up on someone or some thing it's because we ourselves lack the care we should have and/or the dedication to prayer that is needed. Or sometimes it's a struggle with unbelief. Or perhaps we know that if who/what we are praying for would change then we would need to change too. And because too often we value comfort and familiar things/lifestyles over more eternal things like souls we lull ourselves to sleep and say that doesn't look like my problem. Admit it, we've all been there or said words to that effect. I have. But friend, the Truth is, if we are not actively praying, encouraging each other, and seeking out The Solution than we are indeed a large part of the problem. God already has the solution, and most of the time all it takes is a sacrifice of pride and agreement with Him. Okay I didn't sit down here thinking to write a sermon, but I guess for what it's worth...
This is what greets me most mornings at 5:15 when I get up to pack lunches. I think it's a beautiful and peaceful way to be greeted by a Loving God who not only knows what the day will hold He has it planned out for our good!
The antelope babies are simply adorable, not to mention tiny! and so much fun to watch!
The men are enjoying their jobs and Serena and I are slowly but surely finding our way around to important places like the library, thrift store, :) grocery store, etc. while making new friends and meeting new faces. She has been enjoying some riding time with a new friend and someone wondered if we would be interested in boarding and riding a horse that they currently have that is taking up space at their place. YES, of course we will! :) God is Good and has provided many needs along the way and even a few wants like this!
So far we have seen lots of wild things around our house (or close to) like (I'll start small) turkeys and their babies, a beautiful grouse, lots and lots of hummingbirds (that will soon need a grocery budget of their own!) mule deer, elk, a bear and her cub (I named them Cinnamon and Licorice and for that the kids think I'm crazy, ha), and yes even a mountain lion! I can't say that I'm actually scared of these last two but it does take some getting used to to think we are sharing their mountain! Lin and I took a walk recently out our driveway and noticed ML tracks in the dried mud. The men have instructed me on how to load a gun and I think I could actually bring myself to pull the trigger if need be but so far so good. :) Oh yes 1 Large and long Bull snake and a rattlesnake that the boys were able to overpower, thankfully!! Those two things prolly freak me out more than all the rest put together!! Yuck! Methinks I need to invest in some cowgirl boots to avoid a bite from one of these critters when I go tromping through the meadows and mountains!
The amount of wildflowers were a complete surprise to me! They are literally everywhere! and lend a peaceful, softer beauty to the rugged landscape.
our budding nature photographer getting an up
close of some pretty flowers :)
She loves it outside in the sun and wind and tags along with her Dad and Brothers when they hike or work outside as much as she can.
Last but not least, there seem to be a lot of these! Thunderstorms on the mountain top sound different than they do otherwise. Love them!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a lovely day filled with the people and things you love!
♥Be Blessed!♥

Free online lectures: Explore a world of ideas
Science for the Public is a grassroots nonprofit organization committed to the promotion of adult science literacy. The organization hosts public presentations by scientists at Boston Public Library, a community science TV series, and online science resources. Citizen participation is actively encouraged in the development of our programs and resources. Today, many of the most pressing issues of modern life require the expertise of scientists. Citizens must therefore have a reasonable understanding of science in order to function as responsible members of society. Further, as the pace of scientific discovery accelerates, modern citizens must be able to grasp new concepts and information that are reshaping our perspectives. Although the issue of science literacy is now being addressed at the K-12 level, there is no science curriculum for the adult population. And it is the adult population that votes, pays taxes and raises children.

"The Top Dogs Are Drug Free"
Public Access Area
DAD/DAC™ employs three unique, but equally important approaches toward the battle against illegal drugs and other crimes. "Check out Puppy Patrol"
The First Approach is to provide financial assistance in the form of grants to law enforcement officers for obtaining highly trained police service dogs and related supplies needed for the implementation or continuation of a K9 unit. A well-trained K9 team can be an asset to any size of police agency, though funding for implementing and supporting such a specialized unit may not always be available.
The initial cost of implementing a K9 program with a high quality dog and a professional training course, the necessary equipment for the unit, converting a vehicle and other incidentals can range between $8,000 - $12,000, on average. The DAD/DAC Association, through its grant program and other methods, attempts to assist as many officers as possible with implementing and/or supporting a K9 program. In addition to direct grant funding, we also provide a wealth of informational resources, such as K9-related case law briefs and/or full case text, outlines on implementing a K9 program, FLSA guides, administrative information, samples of departmental SOP's and other such helpful information. The overall purpose is to help officers reach their goal of implementing a K9 program.
Public and private donations are a much needed and greatly appreciated resource. If you would like to make a monetary or equipment gift to DAD/DAC for distribution to K9 units, the process if quick and simple. Just print and complete the Donation Form. Remember, your donations to DAD/DAC™ are tax deductible.

A Really Big Shoe For Bush In Iraq….
"T his is a goodbye kiss, you dog!" shouted a man in Arabic just before he threw two shoes at President Bush today in Iraq. What? Iraq you say? Bush is in Iraq? Well, the President took a James Bond-esque ultra-secret trip to Iraq that was not reported until Sunday morning eastern time.
With little advance notice, White House officials told 13 members of the President's press corps about the hush-hush trip to Baghdad, instructed them to pack their bags and swore them to secrecy.
To keep other reporters out of the loop, the White House put out false schedules detailing activities planned for Bush in Washington on Sunday. The White House stated that he would attend the taping of Turner Network Television's annual "Christmas in Washington" benefit concert at the National Building Museum.
While the press corps embarked, Air Force One remained hidden inside it's hanger. Bush arrived through an unmarked entrance at Andrews Air Force Base sporting his signature attempt at a disguise – a tan Windbreaker, casual black pants and a baseball cap marked with "43". The number signifies that his the nation's 43rd president.
Air Force One had left the Washington area on Saturday night. The window shades were drawn for the entire flight.
The trip to Iraq was to hail "progress in the unpopular war that defines his presidency" and to sign and celebrate the recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement calling for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011 and to meet with Iraqui Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The document, known in Iraq as the U.S. troops withdrawal agreement, was passed at the Iraqi parliament last month.
"There is still more work to be done," Bush said after the meeting, adding that the agreement puts Iraq on solid footing. "The war is not over," Bush said, adding that "It is decisively on it's way to being won."
At that point a man stood up and yelled "This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog," and threw his shoe. Bush ducked, smiling the entire time. The man then yelled, "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq," throwing a second shoe, which like the first, ended up hitting the wall behind Bush.
The man was grabbed first by an Iraqi reporter before Iraqi Security and Secret Service could drag the man to the floor. The infamous Secret Service that is suppose to guard the President, was a little slow today however, showing up around Bush after the man threw both shoes and was already dragged to the floor. While pinned on the floor, the man screamed: "You killed the Iraqis!" The man was then dragged away, and could be heard screaming in another room. Two other Iraqi journalists were briefly detained after one of them called the man's actions "courageous."
Among Muslims, shoe throwing at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult, according to CNN. "In traditional Middle Eastern societies, it's very rude to show someone the bottom of your feet. So throwing a shoe at someone is very much a way of saying, 'You're beneath me. … I hold you in contempt," says Daniel Byman, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy. "In Arab parlance, the height of insult is to call somebody a dog and throw a shoe at them. It sends a poserful cultural message," says Fawas Gerges, chairman of Middle Eastern Studies at Sarah Lawrence Colelge in Bronxville, NY.
An examples of said action include Iraquis slapping their shoes on a topped statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square shortly after the city fell to coalition troops in April 2003. One other example was in 2004, after four American contractors were ambushed and killed in Fallujah, insurgents hanged two corpses from a bridge as people flailed at them with shoes. And after the Persian Gulf War, Saddam Hussein installed a tile mosaic floor depicting George H.W. Bush in the lobby of Baghdad's Al-Rashid Hotel where everyone had no choice but to walk over the 41st president's image.
Although President Bush was not injured during the shoe throwing, somehow White House Press Secretary Dana Perino was "slightly bruised" in the aftermath of the shoe-throwing incident. Journalists at the scene said she suffered a black eye, with NBC reporting she was hit in the face with a microphone as security wrestled with the man.
The man was later identified as Muthathar al Zaidi, a journalist/reporter for Al-Baghadadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt. Prior he drew attention in November 2007 when he was kidnapped while on his way to work in central Baghdad. He was released three days later.
Al-Baghdadia issued a statement later demanding their reporter be released. "Any action taken against Muntathar will remind us of the actions and behavior taken by the reign of the dictator and the violence, the random arrests, the mass graves and confiscations of freedom from the people," the board of Baghdadiyah TV said.
Bush's comment on the matter? "And if you want some – if you want the facts, it's a size 10 shoe that he threw." He was also reported to have stated, "So what if a guy threw his shoe at me?" "Let me talk about the guy throwing his shoe. It's one way to gain attention. It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers…."
On a side note, it was unclear whether the journalist used "odor eaters" in his shoes or tried just a "smelly shoe attack" on the President….
Bush is now in Afghanistan after leaving Iraq, with his plane landing at Baghram Air Base outside Kabul. He is there to hold talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and address U.S. troops during the visit.

Hey Beauties! Here is my December Glam Bag from Ipsy.
Be sure to check out the end for giveaway details! Enjoy!
The bag this month is a slender pencil-case shaped makeup bag in a shiny pewter/gunmetal grey colour. It would work as a small clutch if you just wanted your basics!
The inside of the bag is really cute! It is bright pink with "ipsy" written all over the inside. As always the inside is an easy-to-clean material, making it ideal for carrying makeup.
First up: NYX Ultra Pearl Mania loose eyeshadow in #20: Mocha Pearl. I have never worked with NYX loose eyeshadows before, and in general I tend to stay away from them (Except for Bare Minerals) because they are so messy! This was no exception. The packaging on the sample isn't the greatest, and upon opening it to examine the colour more closely, it went everywhere! =/
It is a beautiful shade though. A really nice shimmery taupe-gold kind of colour. It would be a great way to add just a little "something" to a neutral eye look. I am going to try this out for sure! I think it would look great just pressed on the lid to complement an otherwise all matte look.
Next Up: MAI Couture St. Barts highlighter paper. I have gotten blush sheets from them before in another beauty box, and these are the same idea. This pack contains 25 sheets of highlighter paper that you can tear out and just gently rub wherever you want some shimmer. They are ideal for traveling or having in your purse for on-the-go touch ups! They are really pigmented, I think I would only need half a sheet to highlight my entire face. They are also Talc free and paraben free, which is always a bonus =).
I tried to swatch it for you, but it was tough! You can kind of see the square outline where I started. It gives a beautiful peachy-champagne shimmery highlight. It could easily double as blush for a day of toned-down cheeks. This was just one gentle sweep, which shows you how much colour comes off! They have a silky feel to them, and the staying power is pretty good on my arm. I will try these out and let you know how they do on my face!
This next product is the giveaway product! =D
It is a travel-sized Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner pencil in "Zero" which is black. The reason I am giving this away is that I already have one! I love these pencils. I have a travel set of 4 browns and this black, and I wear them all the time. They glide on so smoothly, and last for ages (even on my oily eyelids!). No swatches of this one because I didn't want to mess it up =).
This is by far the most exciting product in this bag for me. It is Be A Bombshell Cosmetics lip gloss in "Hot Mess". This colour, OMG! It is a bright fire-engine red. So amazing!! Perfect for a statement lip, especially over the holidays when this came! It is smooth, and not too sticky, and extremely pigmented. And full size products are always awesome! I have loved everything I have received from Be A Bombshell so far, a new brand that I have been introduced to through my beauty box subscriptions =). This product doesn't have any fragrance to it, it just kind of has "makeup-smell", but only if you stick your nose in it =P
This will show you how pigmented it is. This is one swipe with just the product that came out on the applicator. Love it!
Finally, we have Mirabella Prime For Face and Eyes. A silicon primer that they say "slides on the skin creating the perfect base for any mirabella foundation". This basically exploded everywhere when I opened it. I'm not sure if the elevation change coming up to Wyoming messed with the pressure inside the tube? But it wouldn't stop coming out! I tried a bit on the back of my hand, and it felt very similar to my Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, and it looks the exact same. If I can figure out how to make it not spew everywhere when I open it it will be perfect to take travelling.
Ok: now for the giveaway details.
I will be giving away the Urban Decay pencil in Zero to one person, anywhere in the US or Canada. This is my first ever giveaway, so the rules will be simple:
1) Follow this blog
2) Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
3) Leave a comment here with your info so that I know you follow/subscribe, and tell me your favourite makeup product!
4) If you are under 18 please have your parents' permission, as I will need to ask for your mailing address if you win.
5) For a bonus entry, follow me on twitter! @wstcoastbeauty
I will leave this open for 2 weeks (We are moving across the country next week, so it will take me a while to get back and check on this!). You will have until midnight on Monday January 21st (EST) to enter. Good Luck!! Please leave only one comment per person, you can have a maximum of 2 entries each (including twitter bonus).

Cobham SATCOM's sponsorship of the Land Rover Experience Tour 2017 kicked-off in July with delivery and testing of the cutting-edge EXPLORER terminals that will keep participants safe and connected during the grueling expedition, which takes place in Peru from October 14 to November 9 this year.
Cobham SATCOM is a long-time supporter of Land Rover's semi-regular trek to some of the world's most remote locations. This year's tour features 16 new model Land Rover Discovery SUVs and three new model Range Rover Sports with a team of staff and experts from Land Rover Experience Germany and support from the global Experience Network. The team is accompanied by 42 international participants, all of whom won their places on the tour by entering a series of national competitions open to the public earlier this year.
Running since 2000, the Land Rover Experience Tour was established to demonstrate the extreme durability of Land Rovers in the most inhospitable environments on the planet. This year's route through the wilderness and mountains of Peru is designed to test the cutting-edge design and engineering that makes Land Rover vehicles famous for their off-road capabilities alongside the equipment and products of like-minded sponsors.
According to the company, the EXPLORER terminals are the perfect match for the new Land Rover Discovery, providing unmatched reliable communications from virtually anywhere on land. Cobham has provided a diverse communications suite for the tour fleet including EXPLORER Push-To-Talk, which uses the Inmarsat BGAN network to provide a highly reliable connection between the vehicles and to base camp for operational, safety and welfare purposes. The rugged and lightweight EXPLORER 5075GX VSAT terminal will also provide data connectivity using Inmarsat's Global Xpress Ka-band satellite service. This ensures high-speed internet access for participants and the media team during the tour, wherever they are.
Lutz Rathmann, CEO, Land Rover Experience Germany, noted that Cobham consistently provides his firm with the reliable voice and data link that is vital to the safety and well-being of the tour participants and the ability to report back on the adventure as it unfolds. With EXPLORER terminals, Land Rover has confidence that despite the tough itinerary, communications will occur no matter where or whatever the conditions.
According to Henrik Nørrelykke, VP Global Sales and Marketing, Land, Cobham SATCOM, the company's terminals are designed to operate in all environments and the firm is always keen to show just how capable the terminals are, especially if a partnership with other organisations committed to pushing the envelope on extreme operations is possible. Like Cobham's sponsorship of the Volvo Ocean Race, the work with the Land Rover Experience Tour has proven to be a valuable test-bed for the company's products.

Product Code:MMP-0598
Ex.Tax £20.83
Availability: 48
What does the fox say? You'll probably never know, but at least we can see what that pesky fox is up to with this Raspberry Pi IR-CUT Night Vision Camera!
This IR-CUT version includes an IR filter switch giving you the best possible picture clarity in both day and night! During the day you can toggle the mode to Normal Mode by setting a chosen GPIO pin High, this disables the IR filter removing colour distortion from the filter. During the night, simply toggle the GPIO pin Low and the IR filter is enabled, when light levels drop too low the IR LEDs are activated and you are in night vision mode! Visit the Waveshare WiKi for details on how to toggle modes.
Our Raspberry Pi IR-CUT Night Vision Camera plugs directly into the CSI connector on the Raspberry Pi, and features two high intensity Infrared LED spotlights for night time recording! The IR LED's are powered directly from the CSI port, and are capable of lighting an area at a distance of up to 8m! In testing, the best images were captured at a distance of 3m to 5m. The camera also features an adjustable 3.6mm focal length and 75.7 degree viewing angle.
This Raspberry Pi night vision camera uses the same OV5647 as the standard Raspberry Pi camera, and is therefore able to deliver a crystal clear 5MP resolution image, or 1080p HD video recording at 30fps!
Package Contents
The LEDs intensity is limited by the Raspberry Pi power supply, please ensure you have an adequate Raspberry Pi power supply installed. LEDs running at full intensity can get hot, please take care during prolonged use.
The IR LEDs can be bolted to the body of the camera using the included bolts. This connects the 3.3V supply to the boards and secures them in place. If you need to adjust the ambient light threshold (to change when the infrared LED's toggle), there is a tiny adjustable potentiometer on each LED board, you can turn it to change the threshold. Please ensure any fitting or adjusting is completed prior to plugging the device into the Raspberry Pi and switching it on.
Please follow this guide on how to install the Raspberry Pi Camera for details on how to set the board up!

This TR4 chassis is currently being displayed without its body. The former owner purchased an impressively restored 64 TR4, but was upset to find that the original frame flexed. He bought a RATCO replacement frame and fully intended to reassemble the car back to stock form. But at some point he was inspired to rebuild the car for dual use, track and street. Researching the ideal components to use, he then devoted untold hours to rebuilding the motor and chassis that you see in the photos. Be sure to go to the end of this description to see the prior owners notes giving details of the build.
When we acquired the vehicle the purchase included the "rest of the car", all parts properly restored and in boxes awaiting reassembly. We decided to initially display the frame/chassis in our warehouse as a work of industrial art. The thought was, we could always reassemble it, but why not enjoy it as it sits for a while. Visitors to our garage are always fascinated by this frame/chassis creation. Their reactions have dampened our inspiration to reassemble it and return it to the street. We know that this decision will annoy a lot of true car folks……….saying the car is meant to be driven.
What should its future be? That will be up to the new owner. Maybe that individual will continue its tenure as an impressive work of automotive art, or it might land in the hands of someone who is looking forward to putting it back on the street and driving the heck out of it. Or the new owner might be an individual that will appreciate displaying it for a period of time and then, when time permits, orchestrate or conduct its reassembly.
The former owner indicated a huge investment in the car.… acquisition from a dealer in CA @$22K, motor and head work alone approaching $20k. He did not provide a $$$ amount for the frame and all the chassis components….... experienced observers will have some sense of the total investment in this vehicle, just for the parts alone.
The tub and all body panels were repainted black in 2011. All panels are in great shape. With eBay's limitation of 24 photos, we could not display more of the car. We can provide additional high quality photos to those who establish contact with us. (call Michael at 610-246-8850) We have 23 photos of the motor/chassis, 20 photos of chassis details, 7 photos of the tub, and 33 photos of all the parts displayed on blankets. The door glass and seat frames are there also. The fenders and doors are wrapped in blankets. All other body parts are in sturdy storage bins from Home Depot. The hood remains unpainted since it was elsewhere at the time of the respray….. not sure why it was not at the body shop. The trunk lid sits on the tub and can be seen in the additional photos.
A quote from the former owner posted on a website monitoring the sale in 2012 …..
I sold the chassis and the fully painted (black) body to a buyer in California who plans to complete the body construction and suspend it above the chassis with stainless steel cables. While this would be an awesome show piece, my plans were to use it as a track day car and drive the wheels off of it. Overall, it was a fun project. Wish I could have completed it, but when I moved, I simply didn't have the room or time to complete it.
BTW, I sold it before I fabricated the frame attachments for the Watts linkage, which also btw, I custom fabricated in my shop out of high strength aluminum. Would I do it again…of course! Will I do it again, who knows.
If you want to read the all the comments of those watching the sale in 2012, enter into you browser: bringatrailer.com At the top right of their home page choose "search" and type: re-framed-1964-triumph-tr4
We never got around to suspending the body ..… the owner of the warehouse where we rent did not approve of the idea.
Details of the build as per prior owner:
Watts linkage and aluminum axle straps fabricated by owner
Aluminum differential housing, oil pan, valve cover and other lightweight components purchased from Racestorations in the UK
billet rods
nitride and balanced crankshaft
custom JE forged pistons
ARP rod, crank and head bolts.
Ported and polished head with enlarged combustion chambers
10.5 to 1 compression
Hi spark ignition
Piper fast road camshaft
Lightweight aluminum flywheel
Custom header
NOTE:completing the rebuild will require modification to the valve train
We welcome and encourage you to visit our warehouse and inspect the Triumph. The warehouse is located 10 minutes from the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank CA. Being retired, all times are convenient to meet your flight.
Selecting the Buy It Now option should not be viewed as the starting point of a negotiation. Anyone who chooses the "Buy It Now" button is committing to the $38,000 purchase price.

John Colburn on Lars Von Trier
by Johannes Goransson on Jul.28, 2012
Minneapolis poet John Colburn is interviewed at The Spectral Evidence, about, among other things, Lars Von Trier's Melancholia:
So Melancholia for me is a fable about truth-telling at the end of civilization, or at least a certain type of civilization, and a meditation on the inevitability of chaos. Trotsky said that the first characteristic of a really revolutionary party is to be able to look reality in the face. And it seems so simple to say capitalism and patriarchy are destructive to us, let's begin building something else, but neoliberalism won't allow that discussion. And rather than an escapist apocalyptic fantasy in which technology may save us from The Ending, or in which the actions of the hero allow the human ego to survive, Von Trier gives us a truth. Frued's idea of melancholia as a pathological response or a generalized form of mourning is accepted here as a basic part of the human condition, one that we repress. But I think the film is against repression and it's certainly about letting go of harmful illusions. Though it's not completely cynical. Yes, each of us will end. But the last act that Dunst's character engages in is to make a piece of art and embody it, to make of her life a shamanic performance. And to make art of her life in the face of her impending disappearance – not art for the ages, the ego, to outlast our bodies, but art to deepen our most truthful experience of now – that's the project. Maybe it's cynical that Dunst's character is in her element in the apocalypse – the closer the destruction comes, the less depressed and more capable, even ecstatic she becomes. She's trapped in a patriarchal illusion she has already seen through and its destruction may be liberating, although frightening. The characters finally reach integration in the acceptance of their destruction – they find the ability to love simultaneously with acceptance of the death of their own egos. I love how high the stakes are in many of Von Trier's films, and how human and bodily they are at the same time, and how they attack the accepted consensus reality without mercy.

Every time I meet one I keep thinking that I'd like a pitbull. I know they require a ton of training and effort, but there aren't nearly enough people willing to work with them. I love their personalities and toughness though, they all have so much potential to be wonderful pets. As soon as I have the time and resources as an adult, I'll adopt one.
I love birds, I feel like a bird would be a really fun pet one day.

In the Throne Speech in June, the Harper Conservatives presented Canadians with their priorities for the coming year. High on their list is the securing of an economic partnership with the European Union, the CETA (comprehensive economic and trade agreement). Negotiations between Canada and the EU began in the summer of 2007 and are set to conclude in 2012.
The agreement is about a good deal more than tariffs and the cross-border flow of goods. CETA will involve such broad matters as investment, government procurement, energy, telecommunications, the environment and intellectual property. The purpose of the agreement, according to its crafters, is to enhance national competitiveness and prosperity.
It is striking to note the absence of public meditation over the CETA. Contrast this with two decades ago when Canada was convulsed in debate over the prospect of a North America-wide trade and investment liberalization regime. The stakes were high back then and no one pretended otherwise.
The advocates of CETA are marketing the agreement on the apparent success of NAFTA. But was NAFTA a success? It is often assumed to be so, but few bother to identify the criteria they employ when evaluating it.
The pedigree of ideas can have no more exacting a judge than reality itself. Canadians would do well to recall what the advocates of trade and investment liberalization promised some two decades ago: a decrease in unemployment; an increase in "real" GDP; a boost to long-term productivity growth; and, on the question of distribution, the explicit assumption was that gains from trade would be widely shared with workers in the form of higher wages. Every one of these promises failed to materialize. In the two decades since the instituting of a trade and investment liberalization regime, Canadians have witnessed worsening employment opportunities, heightened stagnation and redistribution from wages to profits.
The question emerges: if trade and investment liberalization has been a failure by broad social criteria, then why do its champions continue to advocate on its behalf? The short answer is that it has been a success... for some. A longer answer is based on a relationship that economists often fail to notice: heightened corporate concentration and rising income inequality.
Over the course of the 20th century, North America was transformed by the emergence of big business. Firms grew in relative size primarily by merging with or acquiring other firms. Corporations expanded first in their own industries, then across sectors and finally pushed up against national borders through the formation of giant conglomerates. Having become national in scope by the 1970s, continued expansion (of ownership) required a new universe of take-over targets, hence the political engineering of globalization (i.e., the internationalization of ownership and control).
Larger relative firm size coupled with enhanced capital mobility leads to greater pricing power and better enables business to resist unionization and wage demands. The combined effect is stagnant wages, thicker profit margins and a higher profit share of national income (see chart above).
The mere existence of larger firms, then, affects redistribution: from labour (in the form of wages) to capital (in the form of profits) and from the bottom 99 per cent to the top 1 per cent of income earners. It is the latter group that owns and has effective control over the corporate sector, thus explaining the enthusiasm some have for CETA.
All of this will be deflected by CETA's advocates. But their immunity to these discomforting truths paired with their amnesia about the broken promises of NAFTA needn't be replicated by the broader citizenry. After all, it's hardly novel to observe that states work to promote the interests of the powerful. Even Adam Smith understood perfectly well that "government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor."
CETA will further empower global capital, weaken labour (whether organized or not), reduce the capacity of governments to protect the quality of life for Canadians and accentuate the trend towards radical income inequality and so, liberal-oligarchy. Having devoted his life to the study of the ancient Mediterranean world, Plutarch would famously observe: "an imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics." Canadians who have some regard for democracy would do well to conserve that bit of ancient wisdom.

I call upon different functions to load a store and from the the load event of the store's listener, a function is called to load the window and distribute the data to all components in it. So, it takes some 2 seconds for the window to load. Can I use some dummy LoadMask before loading the window so that the user knows something is going to Load ?

We all dream of being on that sun lounger, relaxing with a cocktail in-hand, during our summer escape. However, unfortunately for us, before you can put your feet up you have to plan your trip.
A survey conducted by lastminute.com revealed that 30% of Brits believe that planning a summer holiday is a stressful ordeal.
Planning early is a great way to avoid rushing around before you are about to jet off, but what exactly should you make sure you tick-off the checklist?
Are you all covered?
No matter what type of holiday you are about to enjoy, getting yourself covered with insurance should be a priority.
The cost of a policy – the average of an annual one is around £37 – far outweighs the cost of replacing one of your gadgets if it gets damaged or covering the medical costs if you find yourself in an accident.
Knowing that you and your possessions are covered will instantly take some of the stress out of your holiday and give you peace of mind when you are letting your hair down.
Getting about on your holiday
Let's face it, none of us like an hour long coach journey from the airport to the hotel or queuing up for a taxi, so renting a car may be the best option for your holiday.
Organising a rental car gives you the freedom to explore in your own way, so have a look online and try and find the best deal – you can save on the insurance too if you look around.
Pack early
Arguably the most stressful thing about going on holiday is packing; somehow it always gets left to the last minute, meaning you tend to forget at least one thing.
Getting everything sorted early will mean you can focus your efforts on other things, but also mean you have plenty of time to stock up on anything you need, such as sun scream or a new book.
If you're thinking of travelling abroad this year, make sure you organise all your travel insurance extras in advance

She began her career in Columbus, Ohio with a public accounting firm. Although numbers have always been a passion of hers, she quickly realized she is even more passionate about helping people, which sparked her interest and career in recruiting. The opportunity arose in 2015 to become a recruiter, which she excitingly pursued. After returning to Michigan to be closer to family, Ali joined Purple Squirrel Advisors in February 2017.
Ali enjoys listening to people and helping them in any way possible. The challenge and opportunity recruiting provides to use her analytical and puzzle solving skills to find just the right candidate for each client we partner with is always a thrill for her. In conjunction with using her analytical skills, this allows her to spend more time talking with and helping people which she thoroughly enjoys.
Some of her passions include traveling all over the world, spending time outdoors, and spending time with her friends and family. Ali was able to attend a study abroad business school program in college where she spent the summer in Europe; she quickly discovered Barcelona is her favorite place in the world so far.

Facts of Medicine; Heart Disease
Part of From the Vault.
We have no idea of the incidence or prevalence of heart disease in the US, but know that it is the leading cause of death in this country. In middle age, there are more male deaths from this group of diseases than female deaths; hence this is a serious problem. Question of interest: important to know why people (i.e. men) die of heart disease at age 40; more concerned about age than number of deaths, because we all have to die of something. The death rates (in middle aged men) because of heart disease higher in the United States than almost anywhere else in the world. This is probably due to environmental factors. Food? Diet? Lack of rest? We dont know which environmental factors are important. Learning about heart diseases and what to do about them in your family. Types of heart disease: Congenital heart disease; methods to correct defects, mainly surgery, are available. Rheumatic heart disease; can be prevented and treated with antibiotics; surgery for damaged heart valves. Hypertensive heart disease; at older ages, females die at higher rate; weight is a factor Coronary heart disease; highest death rate; complex causes. Heart failure; heart isnt able to pump sufficiently, blood backs up; can be treated. The following are not symptoms of heart disease and feeling them should not cause concern: palpitationskipped beats Sighing Vague pain Great feelings of weakness. Summary and select metadata for this record was submitted by Dr. Gerald Oppenheimer. Parker Wheatley and David D. Rutstein talk about heart disease in the United States.
